In-12, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs cloisonné et fleuronné, pièce de titre de maroquin fauve, roulette dorée sur les coupes, tranches marbrées, xvi, 376, (5) p. de table, portrait frontispice gravé. Traduction par Jean-Pierre Bosset, de l'abrégé composé par John Wynne de ‘L'Essai sur l'entendement humain’ de John Locke. (A translation, by J.-P. Bosset, of John Wynne's abridgement of Locke's 'Essay concerning human understanding'). "L’Abrégé publié par Bosset à Londres en 1720 est la traduction d'un 'Abridgment' fait par John Wynne à Oxford en 1695. Wynne proposa son projet à Locke en 1695, en citant le besoin des étudiants à Oxford, qui, n'apprenant que des choses obscures et inutiles, ne pouvaient trouver un remède suffisant dans 'l'Abrégé' de Le Clerc, écrit dans une langue trop inaccessible" (cf. T. Besterman in 'La diffusion de Locke en France', p. 126 et passim). (Cf. Yolton, 'John Locke', 141 et Attig, 'John Locke', 372). Mors frottés partiellement fendus, coiffes usées, brunissures.
A CURA DI DOMENICO CONTE E MAURIZIO MARTIRANO FRIDERICIANA EDITRICE UNIVERSITARIA 1999 CLII-1380 PP. DUE VOLUMI, ALLO STATO DI NUOVO. L’opera raccoglie per la prima volta, in due ampi volumi, tutti gli scritti giornalistici (oltre 300) dati alle stampe da Cuoco nel corso della sua intensa attività pubblicistica (1801-1815). Il primo volume, a cura e con introduzione di Maurizio Martirano, riunisce gli articoli del periodo milanese (1801-1806), pubblicati nel «Redattore Cisalpino» e nel «Giornale Italiano»; il secondo, curato e introdotto da Domenico Conte, raccoglie quelli del periodo napoletano (1806-1815), apparsi nel «Corriere di Napoli» e nel «Monitore delle Due Sicilie». Questa pubblicazione costituisce una novità assoluta, perché raccoglie numerosi articoli mai più ripubblicati e quindi solo molto difficilmente accessibili, e offre uno strumento significativo per inquadrare in modo completo l’attività politica e culturale di uno dei protagonisti di un periodo di storia italiana fra i più complessi e convulsi. Attraverso la sua produzione giornalistica, Cuoco testimonia le speranze e i drammi di una generazione vissuta fra repubbliche giacobine, monarchie napoleoniche ed esigenze di indipendenza nazionale.

In-8, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos lisse orné de compartiments fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièces de titre de maroquin bordeaux, tranches rouges, (8), 472 p., vignette gravée en bandeau. Nouvelle édition, dans la traduction d’Élie de Joncourt, proche collaborateur et éditeur de Newton. Continuateur de Locke, Gravesande réinterprète le sensualisme de son maître. Ses positions, en particulier sur la question du libre arbitre, le firent accuser de spinozisme, accusation alors dangereuse, qui lui valut la défense et les éloges et de Voltaire, Voltaire qui s’était rendu Leyde pour assister à ses cours en 1737. L’ouvrage est cité, par ailleurs, pour la théorie du chiffrement et de la cryptographie : Gravesande expose sa méthode révolutionnaire de codage et de décodage basée sur sa philosophie du langage ("De l’art de déchiffrer des Lettres", p. 391-408). Physicien, philosophe, juriste et diplomate néerlandais, illustre professeur à Leyde, Willem Jacob ‘s Gravesande (1688-1742) joua un rôle majeur dans la diffusion des théories de Newton et de la méthode expérimentale. (DSB, V, 509-511. France littéraire, III, 456). Quelques petites épidermures. Mors légèrement frottés. Très bon exemplaire, relié à l’époque.
2 voll. in 16, pp. XXIV + 265 + (3); (4) + 292 + (2). Piena pelle coeva con fregi al d. Danni riparati alle cerniere e piccole manc alle cuffie. Angoli dei piatti con segni d'uso. Edizione originale di questa importante opera filosofica, la prima pubblicata e che raccoglie molti temi in seguito sviluppati in altre opere. In quest'opera Condillac rimane molto vicino alle posizioni del suo maestro Locke e accetta con riserve l'idea che la nostra conoscienza derivi da due fonti: la senzazione e la riflessione e il ruolo di quest'ultima e' di trasformare le senzazioni elementari in idee.- L'opera e' suddivisa in due parti, la prima che si occupa delle sensazioni dell'anima, 'des materiaux de nos connoissances' ecc. la seconda parte, poi, si occupa del linguaggio e del metodo. Cioranescu, 20327.
In-4 (243 x 201 mm), demi-veau fauve de l'époque à petits coins, dos à 5 nerfs surlignés de filets gras dorés, pièce de titre de veau blond, tranches mouchetées, (4), xvi, (2), 540 p., (16) p. d'index et colophon, (1) f. d'errata, titre rouge et noir, grande vignette de titre emblématique gravée par O. de Fries. Première édition collective des oeuvres de Leibniz. Elle contient l'édition originale de 'Nouveaux essais sur l'entendement humain' qui occupe la majeure partie du volume (p 1-496), avec la 'Théodicée' l’un des deux seuls ouvrages majeurs que Leibniz parvint à compléter. Composé en 1703 pour n’être publié qu’en 1765 dans ce recueil, l’ouvrage se présente comme une réfutation systématique de 'l'Essai sur l'entendement humain' de John Locke sous forme d’un dialogue imaginaire entre deux personnages: Philalète qui défend la position empiriste empruntée à Locke et Théophile qui soutient l'option rationaliste à l’aide des arguments forgés par Leibniz. Commentant son Essai, Leibniz déclara: "j’ai fort médité moi-même sur ce qui regarde les fondements de nos connaissances (…). De toutes les recherches il n’y a point de plus importante, puisque c’est la clef de toutes les autres". L’édition a été publiée sur les manuscrits originaux par l’érudit allemand Rudolf Erich Raspe et préfacée par Abraham Gotthelf Kaestner, mathématicien, professeur à l'université de Göttingen. Contient: Nouveaux essais sur l'entendement humain - Examen du sentiment du P. Malebranche que nous voyons tout en Dieu contre J. Locke - Dialogus de connexione inter res et verba, et veritatis realitate -- Difficultates quaedam logicae - Discours touchant la méthode de la certitude et de l'art d'inventer pour finir les disputes (…) - Historia et commendatio linguae charactericae universalis (…). (Müller, 'Leibniz-Bibliographie', 2155. River, 472. Stojan, 56. Yolton, 'John Locke, a Reference Guide', C.1765-4). Bel exemplaire, très frais, grand de marges, très bien relié à l’époque.
