1525133419Venetiis: Octaviani Scoticiuis 1525. Rare early 16th century Venetian printing of Aristotle's pioneering work on zoology which had a powerful influence on zoology for over two thousand years. Folio bound in full vellum illustrated with woodcut initials. In very good condition. Deaccessioned from the Harvard College Library with their stamps and bookplate. Written in the fourth century B.C.E. Aristotle's History of Animals had a powerful influence on zoology for some two thousand years. Generally seen as a pioneering work of zoology Aristotle frames his text by explaining that he is investigating the what the existing facts about animals prior to establishing the why the causes of these characteristics. The book is thus an attempt to apply philosophy to part of the natural world. Throughout the work Aristotle seeks to identify differences both between individuals and between groups. The work contains many accurate eye-witness observations in particular of the marine biology around the island of Lesbos such as that the octopus had color-changing abilities and a sperm-transferring tentacle that the young of a dogfish grow inside their mother's body and that the male river catfish guards the eggs after the female has left. Some of these were long considered fanciful before being rediscovered in the nineteenth century. It continued to be a primary source of knowledge until in the sixteenth century zoologists including Conrad Gessner all influenced by Aristotle wrote their own studies of the subject.

Very Good. 2 vol. 8vo. 9 ii-cxi 2 2-373 3; 5 378-757 3 pp. Contemporary full calf with gold borders on each board spines in five compartments with a maroon and a black morocco label lettered in gold on each spine gold decorations and flourishes on each spine. Text in Greek and Latin with the notes and commentary in Latin. Edited and compiled by Friedrich Sylburg with the Latin translation by Dionysius Lambinius and with notes by Guillaume Du Val. Graesse 215. Moss 129. Sylburg received praise from both Moss and Dibdin for his scholarship on Aristotle's writings. Aristotle's Politics are sometimes regarded as the natural sequel to his Nicomachean Ethics: once one knows what it is for a human being to flourish one can consider how the laws of human society can best guide and promote said flourishing. Aristotle undertook a massive effort to examine dozens of Greek city-state constitutions and aimed to discern the best and the worst political principles within them. His Politics then stands as a sort of history of Greece and its political structures. The Politics also contains an examination of the theory behind various forms of government: monarchy aristocracy democracy etc. Aristotle's Economics contains a thorough examination of both macro and microeconomics in ancient Greece. The economics of a city-state a kingdom and of an individual's home are all dissected here and the philosophy behind good home and wealth management is discussed at length. Both his Politics and Economics were highly influential on medieval society and pre-1850 publications of these works have become difficult to find in commerce. A touch of rubbing to the extremities. An armorial bookplate on each volume's front pastedown very light occasional pencil marginalia. E Typographeo Clarendoniano [= At the Clarendon Press] hardcover

1531133411Parisiis: Petri Vidouei 1531. Rare 16th century French printing of Aristotle's third book of logic. Folio bound in full vellum elaborate woodcut vignette-border title-page illustrated with numerous in-text woodcut diagrams and woodcut initials. Ownership inscriptions including that of American philosopher Allan Gotthelf. Gotthelf received many honors for his work on Aristotle including in 2004 an international conference on "Aristotle on Being Nature and Life" held "in celebration of his contributions to the study of classical philosophy and science." In very good condition with some dampstaining and period marginalia throughout. Being one of the six extant Aristotelian writings on logic and scientific method The Prior Analytics was first composed around 350 BCE. The work represents the first formal study of logic where logic is understood as the study of arguments. In the Prior Analytics Aristotle identifies valid and invalid forms of arguments called syllogisms. A syllogism is an argument that consists of at least three sentences: at least two premises and a conclusion. Although Aristotle does not call them "categorical sentences" tradition does; he deals with them briefly in the Analytics and more extensively in On Interpretation. In the sixth century Boethius composed the first known Latin translation of the Prior Analytics. No Westerner between Boethius and Bernard of Utrecht is known to have read it. Petri Vidouei hardcover
1503D20057Venice: Octaviani Scoti per Bonetus de Locatellis 1503. Hardcover. Very Good. Small folio printed in gothic type in two columns woodcut initials & text diagrams; woodcut printer's device on final leaf. Bound in modern half parchment with printed paper boards. A copy with significant contemporary marginal notes in several sections the annotations run tight up against the outer margin. Title page cut down by one inch at the foot; some scattered spotting & worming but generally a nice copy of an early and uncommon to the market post-incunable edition worthy of future study. A recent edition was published in 2024 by the Aquinas Institute. Beth Mortensen summarizes the significance of the text: "All of us living in this Cartesian age grow accustomed to thinking of our bodies as animated machinesmachines that function better or worse subject to innumerable material factors. De Anima On the Soul reminds us that the human person is one whole and the soul is actively making the body what it is. This means that among other things the quality of the bodys functioning does not determine a human beings 'quality of life' and it is completely irrelevant to that persons worth or dignity." see: aquinas institute - commentary on de anima. <br/><br/> Octaviani Scoti per Bonetus de Locatellis hardcover

Printers imprint to final leaf. Fine binding and cover. New FFEP. Marginal dampstain throughout. Otherwise clean unmarked pages. <br><br>John Philoponus also known as John the Grammarian or John of Alexandria was a Christian and Aristotelian commentator and the author of a considerable number of philosophical treatises and theological works. A rigorous sometimes polemical writer and an original thinker who was controversial in his own time John Philoponus broke from the Aristotelian-Neoplatonic tradition questioning methodology and eventually leading to empiricism in the natural sciences. He established his own independent thinking in his commentaries and critiques of Aristotle's On the Soul and Physics. In the latter work Philoponus became one of the earliest thinkers to reject Aristotle's dynamics and propose the 'theory of impetus': i.e. an object moves and continues to move because of an energy imparted in it by the mover and ceases movement when that energy is exhausted an early that was the first step towards the concept of inertia in modern physics. <br>His works were widely printed in Latin translations in Europe from the 15th century onwards. His critique of Aristotle in the Physics commentary was a major influence on Giovanni Pico della Mirandola and Galileo Galilei who cited Philoponus substantially in his works often citing him more than Plato. Philoponus' main significance in the history of science lies in his being at the close of antiquity the first thinker to undertake a comprehensive and massive attack on the principal tenets of Aristotle's physics and cosmology an attack unequaled in thoroughness until Galileo. <br><br> LC: Adams P1058 Venetiis: Brandinus & Octavianus Scotus hardcover

STC Italy Vol I. p. 99; Not in Brunet. <br><br> Johannes Philoponus John the Grammarian or John of Alexandria was an important Aristotelian commentator and Christian theologian. John's commentaries on Aristotle were influential on medieval and early modern thinkers in Europe such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Galileo. Philoponus has been seen as an important precursor to the establishment of empirical philosophy. <BR> In this book Philoponus comments on Aristotle's De Anima On the Soul and substantially modifies Aristotle's ideas. His commentary deals specifically with Aristotle's theory of light "Philoponus contends that Aristotle' view fails to account both for the laws of optics. Philoponus modifies the theory so as to save the phenomena he proceeds to re-interpret the term Energeia not as a state of actuality but rather as an 'incorporeal activity' which besides constituting the transparency of the medium is also capable of warming bodies.Due to this novel interpretation of Aristotle's terminology light is now understood not statically but as something dynamical." - Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia. <BR>It should also be noted that since Michael Hayduck's edition Berlin 1897 it is generally assumed by scholars that the third book of the commentary that had been ascribed to John Philoponus wasoriginally written by Stephanus of Alexandria as is attested in the manuscript Parisinus gr. 1914 11th/12th cent.

Small bookplate on the front pastedown. 2 bookplates on the lower pastedown Note: The Greek scholar/philosopher Aristotle 384-322 B.C. is one of the foremost names in the history of thought and perhaps the most influential of all who have ever written. His influence on Werstern science and culture is immense. His boundless industry extended to most branches of higher learning. 74 treatises genuine and spurious have come down to us under his name. His 'Politics' literally 'the things concerning the polis' is among his best known and most widely read works. It embraces in 8 books the historical theoretical and practical aspect of politics. To Aristotle 'politics were the very crown of philosophical study . and the ultimate end of the State to provide an environment in which those capable of the highest mental and moral development might attain thereto. . The important sections of this great work are the sketch of the ideal state . the account of the various forms of government . the discussions of sovranty and responsibility and of kingship'. H.J. Rose 'A handbook of Greek literature' Oxford 1965 p. 276 § This Basle edition of 1582 of the Politics adopts the Greek text Latin translation and the famous commentary earlier published by the Italian scholar Piero Vettori Petrus Victorius 1499-1585 at Florence in 1576. Vettori professor of Greek and Latin in the 'Studio Fiorentino' at Florence was the greatest Italian Greek scholar of his time. His best known works in the field of Greek philology are his commentaries on Aristotle's Rhetoric 1548 Poetics 1560 Politics 1576 and Nicomachean Ethics 1584. Every chapter caput in this Politics edition of 1582 is printed separately followed by Vettori's very extensive and rich commentary. The Greek text is flanked by 2 Latin translations one of Vettori and one which the French scholar and Royal Reader in Greek Denys Lambin Dionysius Lambinus 1520-1572 had published in Paris in 1567. Added to the chapters are hot from the press the notes and diagrams of the Basle professor of Greek and Moral philosophy Theodor Zwinger Theodorus Zuingerus 1533-1588. He is best known for his editions of the Nicomachean Ethics Basle 1566 and the Politica of Aristotle Basle 1582 in which he transformed these works in a series of diagrams analysing and showing their structures in systematic tables.

Woodcut printers device of Scotus with personification of globe and motto FIAT PAX IN VIRTUTE Peace be with thee. Latin translation by Theodore Gaza. 12-line woodcut historiated initials at beginning of first chapter and at beginning of the Universalis generationis partitio. p. 224 of heraldry. Few woodcut initials throughout. Contemporary vellum; worn; spine and covers darkened; scattered stains worming affecting title next leaf and last 3 leaves; edges stained brown and gauffered to floral pattern. Sound copy enhanced by Latin marginalia in an contemporary hand. The Renaissance public as a part of their reading system frequently engaged Aristotles natural writings. Even at the height of this period at a time when Theodore Gaza had already produced his celebrated versions of Aristotles zoological corpus these works obtained wide recognition. <br/><br/>Aristotles zoological works edited by Theodore Gaza with Italian Renaissance commentary sparked on by the availability of Gazas text. Gazas version of the treatises were paraphrases of Aristotles zoological works but also included personal observations and information drawn from the other authors. Gaza in fact held a virtual monopoly on the biological works of Aristotle his translation completely overshadowing those before him and especially of his rival George of Trebizond. Gazas text had been used mainly as a source of quotations and only in philological and medical works such as Castigationes plinianae by Ermolao Barbaro or Benedettis Historia corporis humani. By 1521 starting with a course on the De Partibus animalium held in Bologna did the official Renaissance tradition of interpretation on Aristotles zoology take form. The Latin text which contributed to this renewed interest was none other than the elegant translation by Gaza. University Aristotelianism specifically that concerning the zoology was approached by the various interpreters in the context of systematic exploration of the encyclopedic work as a whole. The ample annotations of this volume showcase precisely this type of interaction with the evolving conversation. Gazas work throws light on Renaissance Aristotelianism carried out through the grid of scholastic commentary. Hieronymus Scotus hardcover
