180228071<p>This 1802 English edition of the Works of Aristotle printed for the booksellers in London presents an intriguing example of early modern pseudo-Aristotelian literature. While ostensibly a collected edition of Aristotle's major texts the contents instead reflect a blend of philosophical fragments folk science and spurious additions—most notably the inclusion of Problemata physica a work long associated with Aristotle despite scholarly doubts regarding its authorship. The volume also features oddities including contemporary medical references such as commentary on infant deaths attributed to London's air quality clearly outside the purview of any authentic Aristotelian manuscript. This eclecticism typifies the genre of popular "Aristotle" books produced for lay audiences in 18th- and early 19th-century Anglo-American print culture. The copy offered here is complete in its 240 pages bound in period full leather and printed in New England in 1806 despite its London imprint. A fascinating artifact of both classical appropriation and vernacular medical publishing. Very Good condition: leather binding moderately rubbed with corners worn but intact and secure; pages with mild foxing and age toning; collated complete. Octavo 8vo single volume. Collation: 240p. No illustrations. Edition: 1802 printing. References: Placeholder. Item Number SKU: #28071. PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.</p> printed for the booksellers hardcover

Excellent condition with only minor signs of external wear some creasing to spine. Historical Sex-Manual disguised as works of Aristotle. Discusses Virginity and what it is How Virginity may be lost How a woman should order herself in order to conception "A woman that would conceive should observe that she does not use the act of coition too often; for gatiety gluts the womb and renders it unfit for office ! - There are two things that demonstrate this: i.e. that common whores who often use copulation have never or rarely any children: for the grass seldom grows in a path that is commonly trodden in. The other is that women whose husbands have been long absent do after copulation with them again conceive very quickly" / "Women ought to take great care that their imagination be pure and dear that their child may be well formed". The book also discusses causes and cure of Barrenenss Of the Hot Distempers of the Womb The Diseases of the Womb Palmistry shewing the various judgments drawn from the hand includes a choice of remedies for the several distempers to the human body Crabs Herpes Hysteria etc. Aristotle's Masterpiece also known as The Works of Aristotle the Famous Philosopher is a sex manual and a midwifery book that was popular in England from the early modern period through to the 19th century. It was first published in 1684 and written by an unknown author who falsely claimed to be Aristotle. As a consequence the author is now described as a Pseudo-Aristotle the collective name for unidentified authors who masqueraded as Aristotle. The title of the work was possibly chosen because Aristotle was seen as a sex expert in early modern England. Another popular pseudo-Aristotelian text which covered sex and reproduction Aristotle's Problems 1595 had been responsible for this reputation. The real Aristotle had also written works about the reproduction of animals such as History of Animals and Generation of Animals and was considered an authority on scientific matters in general. hardcover

The Metaphysics first edition of 1801. <p>The first collected English translations of Aristotle's works from Orphic fragments by Neoplatonist scholar Thomas Tyler 1758-1835. Provenance of famed bibliophile and collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer whose well-curated and respected library expanded to nearly 20000 volumes. Bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin remarked that she was "the head of all female book collectors in Europe." Known for her philanthropic endeavors she donated a sum of 50 pounds to Patrick Bronte father of Charlotte Bronte when he was widowed in 1821. Currer also contributed an unknown amount to the Clergy Daughter's School that the Bronte sisters attended. Scholars postulate that Charlotte chose the non de plume of "Currer Bell" for her first published 1847 novel Jane Eyre in honor of Currer's philanthropy. A desirable set even without Currer's bookplate that seldom comes up for sale. Printed for the Translator by Robert Wilks unknown
