179193718London, printed for J. Johnson, 1791, in-4, Front, XII-214-126-[2] pp, 9 pl. dont 1 depl.; front, [2]-IX-197 pp, 9 pl, Reliure ancienne, dos lisse, plats de veau brun rapportés, Célèbre poème scientifique du grand père de Charles Darwin, Erasmus Darwin (1731-1802). Cet exemplaire comprend la première édition de la première partie (The Economy of Vegetation) et la troisième édition de la deuxième partie (The Loves of the Plants), enrichie de deux planches supplémentaires par rapport à la première édition de 1789. Le Jardin botanique fut publié de manière inversée, selon le souhait de l'auteur, qui fit d'abord paraître la seconde partie de l'ouvrage (1789 et 1790), la jugeant plus apte à divertir et charmer. Comme dans les autres oeuvres d'Erasmus Darwin, ce poème contient un grand nombre d'informations scientifiques souvent avancées. La première partie, plus scientifique, couvre la philosophie naturelle et fait état de nombreuses recherches et inventions contemporaines, telle que l'histoire du cosmos. En seconde partie, l'auteur explique le système de la reproduction sexuée de Linné avec les propriétés remarquables de certaines plantes en particulier. L'aïeul de Charles postule que la reproduction sexuelle est au coeur des changements et des progrès de l'évolution, tant chez les humains que chez les plantes. Cette conception d'une transformation progressive des espèces appartient aux sciences de la reproduction et rejoint les théories pré-évolutionnistes qui sont apparues à l'aube du XIXe siècle (Laniel-Musitelli). Néanmoins, son petit-fils, Charles, déclara que la théorie d'Erasmus n'avait pas eu d'effet sur L'origine des espèces. Le Jardin botanique est également précieux pour son illustration, qui comporte deux frontispices, 18 planches et une vignette dans le texte : 5 des planches du volume I ont été gravées par William Blake, soit 4 gravures du vase de Portland et la planche de la Fertilisation de l'Égypte, d'après un dessin de Johann Heinrich Füssli (Henry Fuseli), célèbre peintre du Cauchemar.

1523ABC_49899Basel 1523. Small 8vo 10.7 x 15.2 cm. Johann Froben Modern blind-tooled marbled calf bound by Period Bookbinders from Bath England with the author and title lettered in gold at the head of the spine the year at the foot of the spine. With 2 small woodcut illustrations incorporating Frobens device on the title page and the verso of the final leaf a woodcut headpiece above the dedication and two woodcut decorated initials. 275 ll. First edition of Erasmus Paraphrase on the gospel of Luke. Unlike his paraphrases on the gospels of Matthew Mark and John each dedicated to rulers of France or the Holy Roman Empire this work was addressed to King Henry VIII of England. The lengthy dedicatory preface which spans the first twelve leaves takes the form of a personal letter from Erasmus to the king. The Paraphrase on Luke was also unique in its format: it was the only one of the gospel paraphrases to be first published in octavo. The Paraphrases themselves were a novel form of literature at the time: more than mere translations or commentaries they were interpretative retellings of the gospels aiming to clarify the theological and moral meaning of Scripture for a wider audience. Despite Erasmus towering knowledge of the Church Fathers and his editorial work on patristic texts his method in the Paraphrase on Luke was not one of direct quotation from memory. Instead as Jan Bloemendal states Erasmus likely worked with various compilatory sources on his desk texts such as Bedes commentary on Luke the Glossa Ordinaria a medieval annotated Bible and Aquinas Catena Aurea which gathered together centuries of Christian interpretation. Through these sources Erasmus was able to channel the voice of the early Church while crafting something new and distinctly his own.Modern scholarship has also examined the layered narrative voices in the paraphrase on Luke. According to Bloemendal Erasmus plays with the roles of paraphrast narrator and evangelist creating a subtle interplay between himself and the biblical Luke. This device allowed Erasmus to offer veiled critiques on the abuses and moral failings of his own time under the guise of Lukes voice while also inviting his readers into a deeper more personal engagement with Scripture.With some contemporary underlining and annotations primarily consisting of corrections textual additions and markings of notable passages; a later bibliographical annotation in brown ink at the head of the title page "Panzer VI 237" and a small bookbinders label mounted in the bottom inner corner of the recto of the final blank flyleaf Period Bookbinders Bath England Tel 0225 20698.

Internally a copy in excellent condition.<br /> <br /> The grandfather of the illustrious Charles Darwin Erasmus Darwin wrote this treatise on the education of young women to support his own daughters' school at Ashbourne. Darwin's treatise takes a comprehensive view of women's education suggesting that it should reach beyond social skills such as the "perpetual appearance of attention" polite dancing and flattering dress and into formal intellectual pursuits including literature history mathematics and the natural sciences. While he promoted women's education in part to improve the likelihood of companionate marriages Darwin's text tentatively acknowledges that a marital partnership can only function happily when both parties have an intelligent understanding of the world and the ability to participate in it. "A radical campaigner for equality he condemned slavery supported female education and opposed conventional Christian ideas on creation" Farra. With a bookplate from the library of the Wolley family this particular copy has the ownership signature of female reader Mary Wolley. J. Drewry unknown
1518ABC_49875Cologne: Johann Gymnic 1518. Modern faux-leather-patterned paper with a grey paper label on the spine with the authors name lettered in silver Erasmus v. Rotterdam. 4to. With the title set with in a frame built up from 4 or possibly 6 woodcut illustrations including printer's initials and the date 1518 and 10 woodcut decorated initials. Selection of three letters by the Church Father Jerome of Stridon Saint Jerome ca. 342/47-420 CE edited and annotated by Erasmus. Erasmus felt a profound connection to Jerome. He saw in the ancient Church Father not only a kindred spirit but also a mirror for his own intellectual and spiritual journey. Included in this volume are three letters: first the epistle to Heliodorus on the praise of the solitary life de vita solitaria a stirring defence of ascetic withdrawal from the world; second the epistle to Heliodorus on the misery of human life de miseria vitae humanae a sombre reflection on the fleeting nature of earthly existence; and third the epistle to the monk Rusticus on avoiding familiarity with women de mulieribus evitandis a warning shaped by both monastic ideals and Jeromes personal convictions. Additionally a short fourth letter addressed to Onasus is included at the end of the volume though it does not appear on the title page. In this letter he satirically addresses the priest Onasus who had a deformed nose and his feeling of being unjustly attacked and being made a fool of in other letters and writings by Jerome.With early manuscript annotations corrections etc. of the printed text in the margins and occasional underlining of the text mainly concerning the third letter written in three different hands in both brown and black ink. With a 0.5 cm worm hole in the gutter margin not affecting the text. Occasional foxing and browning and some water staining in the fore-edge margin of several leaves.

In several places the name of Erasmus is obliterated in ink by a censor. An early ownership on the title has been washed out, and a small marginal chip has resulted. Small 8vo. 160 mm. Edges decorated red. Early nineteenth century full vellum binding. Lacks front fly leaf. This second and improved Aldine edition is essentially a reprint of the edition of 1516, edited by Giovanni Battista Cipelli, called Egnazio (1478-1553), with the addition of annotations by Erasmus, which were first published in the Froben edition of 1518. Both Aldine editions contain the relevant texts of Aurelius Victor and Eutropius with the continuation by Paulus Diaconus. The full work was once the common manual of almost everyone who wished to study Roman history, and because of this long and hard use, it is extremely difficult to obtain a clean and perfect example - Renouard. This second edition is considered the more valuable, as containing an 'Index Memorabilium' and the notes of Erasmus and the Venetian philologist Joannes Baptista Egnatius (ca. 1473-1553). Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, commonly known as Suetonius (ca. 69/75-after 130). Suetonius was a close friend to Senator and letter-writer Pliny the Younger. Pliny describes him as 'quiet and studious, a man dedicated to writing'. Through Pliny, Suetonius came into favor with Trajan and Hadrian. Under Trajan he served as secretary of studies (precise functions are uncertain) and director of Imperial archives. Under Hadrian, he became the Emperor's secretary. In 122, Hadrian dismissed him for disrespectful behavior towards Empress Vibia Sabina. Suetonius may have later regained imperial favor under Hadrian and returned to his position. It was probably in Hadrian's time that he wrote his most important surviving work - this set of biographies on the Lives of the Twelve Caesars. Entitled 'De Vita Caesarum' it deals with successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. It also includes other texts on Roman history, notably Eutropius. This collection of ancient Roman historians is dedicated to the great book collector - Jean Grolier, and is followed by a letter from Erasmus commending the edition as well as Egnatius' scholarship.

16292941Zwolle 1629. 4to. for Zacharias Heyns colophon: printed by Frans Jorrijaensz 19th century half brown morocco with the author title and imprint lettered in gold on the spine brown cloth sides. With a large engraved emblem on the title page 5 decorated woodcut initials a woodcut headpiece 2 headpieces built up from typographical ornaments a woodcut tailpiece and a tailpiece built up from typographical ornaments. 28 ll. First edition of Zacharias Heyns' new Dutch translation of Erasmus' famous anti-war essay Dulce bellum inexpertis. This essay was originally part of the 1515 edition of the Adagia but was first published as an independent work by Johann Froben in 1517 with the title Bellum. The present Dutch edition is quite rare as we have not been able to find any other copies in sales records of the past hundred years.The Adagia was first published in 1500 but Erasmus continued to edit the work until his death. The 1515 edition published by Froben was greatly expanded but the essay for the proverb Dulce bellum inexpertis war is sweet to the inexperienced was the longest and most remarkable addition. In the essay Erasmus argues that war is senseless unchristian and contrary to human nature. He also critiques the militaristic culture of his time which glorified violence and aggression and advocates instead for diplomacy and negotiation. The essay became so popular that Froben published it separately. Within ten years it had been reissued at Louvain twice at Strasbourg twice at Mainz at Leipzig twice at Paris twice at Cologne at Antwerp and at Venice. German translations of it were published at Basel and at Strasbourg in 1519 and 1520 and an English translation followed in 1533. The first Dutch translation was made in 1622. The present second Dutch translation made during the Eighty Years' War shows how the work continued to inspire more than a hundred years after it was first written.The spine has been slightly rubbed. The end paper are browned the work is lightly browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l Knuttel 3921; Bibl. Belgica E 247; Erasmus Bibl.

1798167893Philadelphia: Printed by John Ormrod 1798. A "determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied" First US edition of Darwin's treatise on the education of women presented here in a well-preserved contemporary binding. This copy's title page is signed in a contemporary hand by one "Eliza Phelan". Although Darwin ultimately sought to educate women so as to make them useful companions for men his was a more equal "different but complementary" conception of the male-female relationship than was commonly held ODNB. The Plan advocated the creation of dedicated schools for girls where such subjects as botany and experimental philosophy would be taught. "In retrospect the most important feature of the book is his determined stand against the nearly universal belief that women ought to be feather-brained and feeble-bodied. He was taking the first crucial step along the path that has led to sexual equality and feminism" King-Hele p. 284. Darwin wrote from the start with practical applications in mind: the work originated as advice to his two illegitimate daughters for whom he had bought a converted inn to run as a school for girls. It is perhaps for this reason that the work has been described as "the most appealing of Darwin's prose publications" ibid. p. 282. The Plan was originally published in Derby in 1797: the US edition was published a year later with Darwin's slender tract bound with the unrelated Rudiments of Taste a work which had been published several times before in Philadelphia and London over the previous decade.
