155195873Venice: per Bartholomeo detto l'Imperador & Francesco suo genero 1551. Early Venetian edition of Bernardo Segni's translation of Aristotle's poems and rhetoric. Small octavo bound in full 19th century calf gilt titles and tooling to the spine morocco spine labels gilt ruled gilt turn-ins all edges gilt marbled endpapers. From the library of one of the most influential theologians of the 20th century Dr. Thomas C. Oden. Regarded as the founder of the paleo-orthodox movement Oden taught with a mission "to prepare the postmodern Christian community for its third millennium by returning again to the careful study and respectful following of the central tradition of classical Christianity." In very good condition. A unique association. Based on an analysis of Homer's epic of the Trojan war The Illiad Aristotle determined that poetry sought universal truths while history strove to explain the particular. From this Aristotle concluded poetry was superior to history. Aristotelian theorists of the Renaissance agreed on two basic principles: first that the poem had to have been written several centuries ago and second that the historical events narrated in the poem did not need to be exact but only to approximate reality. Therefore the author of an epic had more freedom of fantasy than an historian. per Bartholomeo detto l'Imperador & Francesco suo genero unknown books

1501300661501. Problemata Alexandri Aphrodisei. Problemata Plutarchi cum gratia. - Venetiis Per Bonetum Locatellum 1501 Folio 304 x 210 mm 22 296 fl. double colum gothic letters woodcut initials printer device fine full leather binding. A broad marginated clean and well preserved copy of this beautifully volume printed on strong paper. The greatest scientific name after Hippocrates is that of Aristotle 384-322 B.C. who gave the medicine the beginnings of botany zoology comparative anatomy embryology teratology and physiology and use of formal logic as an instrument of precision. Aristotle a pupil of Plato and at one time tutor to Alexander the Great had a profound influence in determining the direction of medical and biological thought; perhaps no other man has so dominated and advanced science as a whole.The Aristotelian Problemata enjoyed considerable popularity in the Middle Ages especially its book IV dealing with sexual intercourse and generation which adapted in such manner that it became a kind of pornographic publication. Petrus de Abano 1250-1315 was one of the most illustrious and influential men of his time and probably the most influential medical writer of the later middle age. A native of Apano near Padua from which he takes his name he took his degree in Paris and his cures were so remarkable that he was able to obtain the highest fees of any physicians of his time. He was called the Consiliator because of his remarkable book published during his residence in the Paris University. He was consulted by such man as Pope Honorius IV and was in great demand for lectures consultation and teaching. Dante was among his pupils. Abano believed that air has weight that brain is the source of the nervous system and the heart the source of the blood vessels- novel ideas that were not validated for centuries. He was the first to acquaint the West with the Problemata from Aritotle`s school to which he wrote the present commentary. For his heretical and outspoken views he was several times accused of heresy. Later he was suspected of magic and persecuted on that account during the Inquisition. Dying before his trial his body was taken out and burned in the public square. The medical science of the scholastic was a part of the universitas litterarum the scholastic physicians were philosophers. The methods of thought had been prescribed by Aristotle and the learned man of Arab. "Petrus spent some time in Constantinople probably before 1293; during his stay found a copy of the Problems of Aristotle.he translated them into Latin for the first time. He began a commentary on these problems while in Paris and completed it at Padua in 1310.His experience and activity represents a landmark in the history of scientific humanism." -Sarton III 439 "Prefatory note by Domenico Massaria.

1598138658London: Adam Islip 1598. Rare first edition in English of one of the world’s most important and influential political texts “the most valuable work on that branch of philosophy that has descended to us from antiquity.†Small folio bound in full leather gilt titles and tooling to the spine front and rear panels. In near fine condition bookplate small name to the title page small paper repair to the first few pages. First editions are exceptionally rare. Aristotle’s Politics written circa 350 B.C. “is the most valuable work on that branch of philosophy that has descended to us from antiquity†McCulloch 356. It marks “a genuine attempt at political science. Aristotle shows the ways in which oligarchies fall and the variety of situations that may follow. He goes through the likely causes of revolution. He is conscious of classes and their interests†Levi 403. The work embodies “theories of perennial value and refutations of fallacies which are always re-emerging†Hazlitt 36. Aristotle’s history of mature Athenian democracy and the development of that city-state’s constitution greatly influenced modern political philosophy. Politics had a particularly profound effect on the formation of the United States government: Jefferson had a copy of LeRoy’s French translation in his library Sowerby 2347 and many of the basic tenets of the U.S. Constitution derive directly from Aristotle making him in some sense “the father of modern democracy†PMM 94.

Greek-Latin parallel-text. 8 831 1 pp. <br/><br/><em>The very rare first edition of Julius Pace's seminal "Organon"-edition which was the standard-edition of the logical texts of Aristotle throughout more than a century running through at least 11 editions before 1624. Pace's version of the text in Greek-Latin parallels and with Pace's inspired commentaries and interpretations profoundly influenced Renaissance thought determining the course of the Organon-interpretation throughout this period and inspiring much original philosophical thought. Pace's interpretation of Aristotle's logical works - arguably the most influential collection of works in the history of Western thought - not only changed the face of Renaissance thought it has remained the authoritative reading of Aristotle's "Organon" to this day and is still considered the most important and authoritative reading of the texts. As Ross puts it in the Preface to his translation of the logical works the standard Oxford-edition: "My chief authority in matters of interpretation has been Pacius". "The Works of Aristotle Translated into English Under the Editorship of W.D. Ross. Volume I". Oxford University Press. To this day a proper study of Aristotle's "Organon" - and Porphyrios' "Isagoge" - is still unthinkable without references to Pace his rendering of the text and his interpretations of it. The famous "Porphyrian Tree" or "arbor porphyriana" which has gone down in history as a standard presentation of the basis of Aristotle's thought was presented by Porphyrios in his "Isagoge" which since Antiquity has accompanied Aristotle's "Ornanon" as an introduction thereof. The standard presentation of this tree is that of Pace in the present edition on p. 9. It is that rendering of it with occasional slight alterations which has remained standard ever since 1584. That which we ever since Antiquity have called the "Organon" comprises the logical works of Aristotle: 1. Categories 2. On Interpretation 3. Prior Analytics 4. Posterior Analytics 5. Topics 6. On Sophistical Refutations - which ever since late Antiquity/early Middle Ages have been accompanied by Porphyrios' 233/34-ca.310 "Isagoge" his introduction to Aristotle's "Categories". During the Renaissance all editions of Aristotle's "Organon" also comprised Porphyrios' "Isagoge" which was seen as necessary for the understanding of Aristotle's logic. Aristotle's logic has played a seminal role in the history of Western thought. No other collection of writings has had an impact on the history of philosophy that comes close to the "Organon" an impact that remains pivotal to this day. "Aristotle's logic especially his theory of the syllogism has had an unparalleled influence on the history of Western thought." SEP.From Antiquity the earlier middle ages had inherited Boethius' translation of the two first treatises of Aristotle's "Organon" along with Porphyrios' "Isagoge". These works formed the basis for logical study and teaching until the end of the 11th century. Only during the 12th and 13th centuries were Aristotle's writings - along with those of the Arabic and some of the Greek commentators - translated into Latin. When the medieval universities reached their full development during the thirteenth century Aristotle's works were adapted as the standard textbooks for all philosophical disciplines - thus modern terms for many philosophical and scientific disciplines correspond to the titles of Aristotle's works e.g. Ethics Physics Metaphysics. Through Aristotle's works the West thus acquired not only the specific problems and ideas that were being dealt with at the universities but also the terminology used to describe and discuss them and the systematic framework within which all relevant problems should and could be treated. But come the Renaissance we see a clear change in the use of Aristotle's works. We here witness something other than a mere continuation of the late medieval Aristotelianism. The Humanists began supplying new translations of Aristotle's works and translated all the Greek commentators of Aristotle many of them for the first time. And thus a tendency to emphasize the original Greek Aristotle developed a tendency that became pivotal for the development of modern thought - the development of modern science and modern philosophy is inextricably linked with the Renaissance Humanist editions of Aristotle's works in Greek with Latin parallel-text. The "Organon" Aristotle's seminal logical writings occupies a central position within the Aristotelian body of writing and thus within the development of Western thought. Certain Humanist versions of the Greek text and the Latin translations as well as the interpretations of them thus came to play a seminal role in the trajectory of Renaissance and modern though Pace's "Organon"-edition presumably being THE most important and influential edition ever to have appeared. "The medieval traditions of logical writing survived well into the sixteenth century particularly at Paris and at the Spanish universities though with considerable internal changes. Treatises on sophisms and on proofs of terms ceased to be written; whereas there was a sudden flurry of activity concerned with the various divisions of terms and with the opposition of propositions i.e. the logical relations between different kinds of categorical proposition. These internal changes were not however sufficient to keep the tradition alive and after about 1530 not only did new writing on the specifically medieval contributions to logic cease but the publication of medieval logicians virtually ceased. The main exceptions were the logical commentaries by or attributed to such authors as Thomas Aquinas and John Duns Scotus which found a place in their "Opera Omnia" and which benefited from a revived interest in the great medieval metaphysicians.The main changes in the teaching and writing of logic during the sixteenth century were due to the impact of humanism. First commentaries on Aristotle came to display a totally new style of writing. One reason for this was the influence of new translations of Aristotle and new attitudes to the Greek text. Another reason was the publication of the Greek commentators on Aristotle's logic Alexander Themistius Ammonius Philoponus and Simplicius. A third reason was the new emphasis on Averroes which expressed itself in the great Aristotle-Averroes edition of 1550-1552. The effects of these new factors can be seen in the commentaries on individual works of the "Organon" by such Italians as Agostino Nifo 1473-1546 and Jacopo Zabarella 1533-1589 the latter of whom offered a particularly influential account of scientific method. They can also be seen in the "Organon" edition of Giulio Pace 1550-1635 which was first published in 1584 and contained the Greek text side-by-side with a new translation which was designed not only to read well but also to capture the philosophical significance of Aristotle's words." Raul Corazzon "History of Renaissance and Modern Logic from 1400 to Stuart Mill"."No editor better understood the nature of this Treatise of Aristotle than Julius Pacius who was the preceptor of Casaubon and profoundedly skilled in all the arcane of the Peripatetic philosophy in both the Greek and Latin tongues." Dibdin I: 318Giulio Pace of Beriga or Julius Pace/Pacius 1550 - 1635 was a famous Italian Aristotelian scholar and jurist. He was born in Vicenza and studied law and philosophy in Padua. He was inspired by the Reformation and put on trial by the Inquisition. Therefore he had to flee Italy and escaped first to Geneva thereafter to Germany. While in Heidelberg he converted to Protestantism. He was highly respected as an academic and was widely known for his deep knowledge and understanding of Aristotle whom he became famous for translating. He was elected public professor in Geneva where he taught for ten years 1575-1585. The next ten years he spent teaching law at the University of Heidelberg where he got into different conflicts especially with the philosophical faculty for giving private tuition in the controversial Ramist logic. After Heidelberg he taught at different universities throughout Europe where he was especially well known for his 1584-edition of Aristotle's "Organon" which played a definitive role in Aristotle-scholarship and philosophy in general throughout all of Europe.Dibdin I:318; Adams A:1866. </em> hardcover

1554180648Venice: Comin da Trino 1554. Aristotleianism astrology and the development of Italian scientific prose First edition in Italian at the time the most complete translation of Aristotle's Meteorology in the vernacular together with extended commentary from two prominent medieval philosophers. This edition furthers the adaptation of Aristotle by medieval thinkers to support a range of contemporary interests most notably astrology. From its Latin translation in the 12th century until well into the 17th the Meteorology was "the unquestioned authority on weather theory" Frisinger p. 638. By 1554 Renaissance astrologers had long looked to it to support their conviction that the stars influence events on earth. Albertus Magnus c.1200-1280 among the most prominent medieval Aristotelians was one of the first to propose this astrological interpretation which characterizes the present edition. Following the great wave of scholarly Latin translations vernacular manuscripts of Aristotle's works began appearing from the 13th century onwards often commissioned by rising mercantile families. This edition is based on an anonymous translation made in 14th-century Florence. It pairs a revised and condensed version of the Meteorology with sections drawn from the commentaries of Albertus and to a lesser extent Thomas Aquinas. In several cases the editor has used their translation to bring Aristotle's text in line with Albertus's interpretation blurring the line between astronomy and astrology. Octavo 150 x 101 mm ff. iv 92. Woodcut printer's device to title page headpiece and historiated initial. Contemporary vellum spine lettered in manuscript ink remnants of morocco ties edges sprinkled red. Contemporary ink annotations between pp. 36-58 primarily focusing on explanations for atmospheric phenomena. Light rubbing and soiling infrequent minor browning and foxing: a very good copy.

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

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. An important early work in physics and natural philosophy. Venice: Apud Hieronymum Scotum hardcover

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
