Renouard 116:3; Schreiber 142; Dibdin II 500; Hoffmann I 287-88; Hoffmann III 524; USTC 450450. ◆Joints and extremities lightly rubbed minor offsetting from turn-ins to endpapers and flyleaves leaves with a touch of browning to head edge isolated small marginal spots or minor smudges but still an extremely pleasing copy clean and fresh internally in a well-preserved binding. Rarely seen in the marketplace this collection of Greek texts printed in the exquisite Estienne "grecs du roi" type includes four parts: the 23 "Characters" of Theophrastus along with that author's essay on the senses and perception; the pseudo-Aristotle "De Mirabilibus Auscultationibus" "On Marvellous Things Heard"; and an essay on springs rivers and pools by the first century A.D. Greek philosopher Sotion. In "Characters" Theophrastus ca. 371 - ca. 287 B.C. delineates such human foibles as gossiping grumbling and boasting while the text once attributed to Aristotle is a series of anecdotes about inexplicable phenomena in the natural world a genre of classical literature known as paradoxography. The classical texts are followed by the critical notes of Henri Estienne 1528 or 1531-91 who rivaled Aldus Manutius in combining publishing with scholarship. In discussing this work Dibdin says "whatever H. Stephen did is worth consulting." Henri also contributed to the typography used here the smallest size of the "grecs du roi" cut for his father Robert by Claude Garamond--it is based on the Greek script written by the precocious Henri when he was 10 years old.

Usually attributed to Aristotle it is now thought to be the work of the peripatetic scholar and pupil of Aristotle Theophrastus.''As the author states at the end of the treatise it is intended rather to supply data for a detailed examination into the scientific theory of colour than to expound a complete thesis. He has realized that the development of colour in animals and plants depends to some extent on heat and he seems to suggest that heat and moisture are the controlling factors. It is of more value as a collection of observed facts than for any theory of the origin and development of colour in physical life'' Aristotle Minor Works Cambridge and London Loeb Classical Library 1936 p. 3.With some spotting on the title-page and some marginal tears not approaching the text but otherwise in very good condition and with large margins.

Collection of Francis Howard Forbes 1881-1957 professor of Greek language and literature at Amherst College his round pictorial bookplate of Attic-style scribes on front pastedown. This particular copy was cared for by Oxford institutions for a good part of its history then crossed into a New England personal library of a classical scholar sometime in the early 20th century. This is the self-contained volume from the 1584-1587 collected edition of the works of Aristotle in Greek and the Metaphysica of Theophrastus. Friedrich Sylburg 1536-1596 was a German classical scholar who made important contributions to several popular Greek texts of the later sixteenth century like Estiennes Greek Thesaurus. In 1583 Sylburg resigned from an educational post he held at Lich and moved to Frankfurt to work as leading active editor for the enterprising Wechel publishers. The humanist printers flourished in three distinct cities; Paris Frankfurt and Hanau. Andreas Wechel settled the firm in Frankfurt and distinguished it mainly by publishing neo-Latin literature classical philology and works by Ramus and his followers. The relationship between Sylburg and the Wechel printers was a seamless match; this 1585 edition of Aristotle was praised for its great critical power and finesse. It is widely regarded as the authoritative edition of its kind. Sound example of a sixteenth century published work on Aristotelian principles born from the inventive relationship between scholar and press.Fabricius-Harles III 444; Hoffmann I 275 and 289.
