17035PLATO. The Greater Hippias: A Dialogue of Plato Concerning The Beautifull. London: H. Woodfall 1759. First Edition. Quarto 127 pages. Modern calf-backed marbled boards fresh endpapers. In the Greater  Hippias Socrates and Hippias set out to find a definition for "beauty" but are destined to fail due to their inability to formulate an answer which encompasses the entire concept. The text has an anatreptic purpose-- that is the result of the dialogue is to defeat commonly held opinions without necessarily offering a resolution. The Platonic concept of something "good in and of itself" makes its first appearance in this early dialogue which can be read as much as a serious philosophical work as a light satirical comedy with two actors. Translated by Floyer Sydenham whose Platonic scholarship was credited with "'just criticism and extensive learning an elegant taste and a genius naturally philosophic' by Thomas Taylor. Leaves rippled somewhat with light foxing. In very good condition. unknown books

Born at Athens of a noble family Plato aspired to political activity. Dismayed at the inequities of the Athenian tyranny and later at the execution of his teacher Socrates under the democracy he turned towards philosophy in search of an alternative to the unstable and unjust public life of the time. He also sought unity behind the changing impressions of the visible universe.All Plato's writing except for The Apology and the Letters is in dialogue form.The Apology records Socrates' defense at his trial. These dialogues are philosophically inconclusive but are considered best to represent the historical Socrates." BenÈt's Reader's Encyclopedia810. "Phaedo a dialogue by Plato. In it Phaedo a disciple of Socrates describes the last hour of his teacher's life. Socrates and his friends discuss the possibility of the immortality of the soul. The doctrine of ideas and the theory of reminiscence are the most important arguments" BenÈt's Reader's Encyclopedia 797.

15573087Venice: Comin da Trino 1557. Graesse V.325 giving 1558 imprint; a second issue; the Italian Union Catalogue Catalogo Unico lists only 5 copies in Italian libraries. Rare first Italian-language edition of this Platonic dialogue somewhat anomalous in the Platonic corpus because of its extended treatment of the nature of physical matter and cosmology and a favorite among Renaissance readers for its myth of Atlantis which influenced other Renaissance utopias. The 1550s or thereabouts saw the first Italian translation of the most popular Platonic dialogues whether directly from Greek as here or via Ficinos Latin translation; the prestige of Ficinos Latin translation and wider readership for the original Greek probably explains why this Italian edition came so relatively late. The edition was translated by the littérateur Sebastiano Erizzo 1525-1585 a prolific writer of poetry fiction and belles lettres who provides some commentary in the way of printed marginal annotations; he would later translate a further selection of dialogues into Italian in which the Timaeus was reprinted 1574.

Contemporary full leather morocco spine labels gilt titles and triple rules marbled edges and endpapers. French translation of The Laws a series of twelve Platonic dialogues written towards the end of his life. Grou a Jesuit fled to Holland when his order was suppressed in France and it was there that these Dialogues were published. Later he returned to Paris and adopted the alias Leclaire remaining there until the Revolution drove him into a second exile in England. As well as Platonic translations Grou published theological works of a popular nature including The Spiritual Life: A Comprehensive Manual for Catholics Seeking Salvation. The publisher includes a dedication to the then-living philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This set also includes a 1778 edition of La Science de Bonhomme Richard Sabin 78111 which is a French version of Benjamin Franklin's The Way to Wealth. This work includes the sayings of Poor Richard as well as the interrogation of Benjamin Franklin relating to the Stamp Act Pennsylvania's new constitution and the interrogation of William Penn by parliament. Franklin spent a good deal of time in France and was well-liked there. The Way to Wealth was his most popular work and though it first appeared in England in 1757 it was the French translation originally published in 1777 that first included his commentary on British taxation of the American colonies. Herein he presages the colonists' discontent with being taxed and ordered about by a foreign power. Marc-Michel Rey / Chez Ruault, Libraire unknown books
