1757310656Frankfurt: J.A. Raspe 1757. Illustrated with 12 engraved portraits. 8 373; 2 448 pp. 8vo. Later vellum. Faint browning a nice copy. Illustrated with 12 engraved portraits. 8 373; 2 448 pp. 8vo. Later edition of this famous collection of humanist satirical letters illustrated with 12 full-page portraits of prominent humanists. A note in OCLC comments on the long running authorship debate: "Authorship of the Epistolae formerly attributed to Reuchlin Erasmus Hutten and others. More recent researches have made it almost certain that Crotus Rubeanus and Ulrich von Hutten were the main contributors. To Crotus are credited the first 41 letters: to Hutten the 7 letters added later to the original series and most of the 62 letters of the second series with the possible co-operation of a third person Hermann von dem Busche. The authorship of the rest remains doubtful J.A. Raspe unknown books
184928070New York: Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. 1849. first Edition. Very Good. first Edition. 90 x 63 cm. Engraved trade-card on white glossy coated stock. Surface wear to lettering. Penciled on rear is the following: "May it be preserved through life Presented as a token of remembrance to Josephine Tyler by her friend Aidolaid H. Thimble July 26th 1849 by me. J Tyler." Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. was a New York City instrument maker. Born in England in 1778 he came to America after 1812. He is first listed in the New York City directories in 1818-1820 as a rule maker at 343 Water St. In 1842-1850 he is listed as a nautical and mathematical instrument maker at 180 Water h Newark we think this is the same as Burling Slip & Water. By 1850 the New Jersey census notes the 72 year old Kutz Sr. with no occupation. His son Erasmus A. Kutz Jr. was first listed in the New York City directories from 1839-40 as a rule maker at 2 Stanton from 1850-51 as an instrument maker at 117 Madison and in 1856 as an instrument maker at 91 Monroe.<br/><br/>This trade card describes Erasmus A. Kutz as "Manufacturer & Importer of Mathematical Instruments Corner of Burling Slip & Water St New York." The card is printed on glossy stock with the note "Kelham Sc Fenchurch St. London" lower right indicating it was printed in London. While the trade card shows a multitude of instruments around the border instruments signed by either Kutz are rare - Webster notes one example Smart adds six additional items. The border shows not only mathematical instruments but nautical instruments charts & pilots sextants and octants confirming that this is Kutz Sr.<br/><br/>Trade cards by American scientific instrument manufacturers from this period are rare in our experience. We are aware of one other example of this trade card on blue paper sold with a letterhead dated 1846.<br/><br/>For more information see Charles E. Smart "The Makers of Surveying Instruments in America since 1700" Vol 1 pp 99-100 and the Webster Scientific Instrument Database Online. Nothing in OCLC by this maker/importer.

5783Title within woodcut border & woodcut on verso of final leaf. 54 2 pp. Small 4to modern binding reusing an early MS. leaf over boards verso of final leaf a little soiled. Basel: J. Froben 1518. First separate edition of these two famous texts "In Praise of Marriage" and "In Praise of Medicine." The first work created a cause célèbre; written many years earlier in honor of the marriage of his friend Lord Mountjoy when finally published it was seen by the Louvain and Paris theologians as an implicit condemnation of clerical celibacy. The second work is Erasmus's expression of his views of the medical arts. It "presents a view of medical ethics that identifies competence beneficence and diligence as the physician's primary moral obligations. The activity of the physician when directed toward the patient in accordance with these obligations gives rise to reciprocal obligations on the part of the patient: gratitude and reward. The activity of the patient in accordance with these obligations returns honour and payment to the physician."-Albury & Weisz "The Medical Ethics of Erasmus and the Physician-Patient Relationship" online resource. It is dedicated to the distinguished physician Henricus Afinius the chief physician of Antwerp. These two works were first published a few months earlier as part of the Querela Pacis printed in Louvain. Fine copy and rather scarce. hardcover books
15256388Basel: Johannes Froben 1525. Very Good/Erasmus's edition of Pliny's Natural History conserving the notes from Ermolao Barbaro's edition of 1492 printed by Johannes Froben at the height of his powers. Froben's title page is effectively a billboard: "We give you the work of the Divine Pliny called History of the World more emaculate than any edition ever produced before starting with the annotations of erudite men first among them Ermolao Barbaro and then exemplary contributions by learned people which are still worth correcting with faith in the oldest codices from which we have restored many faults do difficult to find that no one no matter how learned could find them or had found them. We have nothing to envy. We have defeated all of our elders. And if someone now takes this prize from us we will not envy them but we will be grateful for the improvement of public education.

Ownership inscription of J. Edmonds Oxford. Scarce in jacket. Very good. "The first American publication of a thirty-odd year old portrait of Erasmus Darwin grandfather of the famous Charles and great three times grandfather of author Pearson the last probably accounting not only for the intimacies involved but also the reverence indulged in. Darwin was 18th century England's physician par excellence George III wanted him but didn't get him; Darwin was too democratic; he was also a philosopher a poet and head mandarin of the Lunar Society whose celebrated enclave held Watt of the steam engine Wedgwood of pots and Priestley of oxygen. Darwin was a stutterer who looked twice his age; nevertheless his sallies never missed nor was his sexual appetite ever starved. Twice married and many more times a father his home was a happy one; a failing though- grumpy disapproval of all things spiritual- cost him a son a wistful lad who ended it all at the bottom of the River Derwent. Pearson's style here- it has changed since then- is pretty much drawing-room English comfortably ensconced with wit and stage-bearded with wisdom. The hyperbole of course gets heavy-handed: was Darwin really the progenitor of eugenics aeroplanes submarines psychoanalysis That he was the "parent of Creative Evolution" one can doubt a doctrine made unfashionable ironically enough by his grandson. Put it all down as a bunched-together biography- incidents anecdotes character studies-which in its fustily fastidious way is fascinating. And if Darwin as a personality doesn't emerge as engaging as he was intellectually extraordinary well one can't have everything especially all in one family." Kirkus Reviews. J. M.

Francisci son of the Lübeck jurist Franciscus von Finx named himself "son of Franciscus" i.e. Francisci. More unusual than this endearing foible was his successful career as a free-lance man of letters. A prolific and popular polymath Francisci died at the age of 68 "having left behind almost as many volumes" Allgemeine Deutsche Biographie. Throughout his career he worked as a sort of house author with the Nuremberg publishing house of the Endter family. "There was hardly an area of knowledge at which he did not try his hand. As one of the first full-time professional authors of Germany Francisci understood how to switch if the need arose to a new area of interest that promised good sales for his publisher" Dunnhaupt Bibliographisches Handbuch I p. 628 my trans. With gusto and success he catered to an audience hungry for tales of distant lands for folklore and "a world saturated with wonders" Faber du Faur German Baroque Literature p. 198 compiling tales of travel and distant lands compendia of natural history and curiosities historical works and devotional meditations. As the thickness of this volume intimates Francisci's Sitzfleisch was awe-inspiring. His versatility huge readership and connections with many members of the "republic of letters" made him one of the most influential German writers of the Baroque. While the prose of his religious works may seem cloying to the modern reader they sold as well as his secular compilations. Being widely read across social classes fine copies of his books are rare. The 64 Bedenckungen considerations of the present treatise are interwoven with fables anecdotes and digressions. Each is illustrated with an engraved emblem Sinnbild set within an exuberant ornamental border the borders of most of the 21 unsigned plates apparently by a less skilled engraver than Schurtz are plainer. Francisci is known to have worked closely with his illustrators and presumably collaborated on the design of these engravings by Cornelius Nicolaus Schurtz Joachim von Sandrart and one other engraver the 21 unsigned plates are in plainer borders and appear to be the work of a less skilled engraver. Characteristically varied in subject-matter the emblems and emblematic scenes are largely secular showing scenes of war domestic life natural disasters seafaring including shipwrecks the plant and animal world including exotic species children romping fireworks alchemical apparatus and even an amputation and a corpse being dissected in an anatomy hall. Only a few contain biblical scenes. Most striking are the four folding plates frightening panoramas of Judgment Day and the two unearthly frontispiece illustrations of which the first shows two men a virtuous man and a sinner in bed dreaming of their respective afterlives. Himself a tireless hymn-writer Francisci dedicated this work on Doomsday to one of the most important composers of Baroque hymns Magdalena Sibylla of Hesse-Darmstadt Duchess of Württemberg 1652-1712. The book includes twenty original hymns or Kirchenlieder to be sung to identified choral melodies. The presumably less well-known music for one Trostlied hymn of consolation is provided on p. 257 with accompanying bass line. This edition collates :8 - :1.8 : : 8 -::8 A-4G8: the signing of the two preliminary quires is odd but this copy is complete. The double-leaf engraving at front may have been counted as the first leaf of the first quire since the first letterpress leaf following the letterpress title is signed ":iii". Both the first quire containing the title-leaf and dedication and the second containing laudatory poems signed by S. E. Gr. zu L and by Joachimus Simon the foreword and the table of contents contain no 8th leaf. This matches other copies and seems to have been due to composing miscalculations resulting in the removal of the final blank of each quire. Some cataloguers included the two-leaf engraved title or frontispiece in their folio count counting 15 preliminary leaves and others more correctly count 13 leaves.Not in NUC; OCLC locates a single copy in an American library at Berkeley.
