Amsterdam: H. Laurentius 1644. First edition to be edited by Joannes Bodaeus à Stapel; it "is one of the best and most thoughtfully prepared of all the editions of Theophrastos."-Hunt 240. H.H. Bartlett wrote in his Fifty-five Rare Books Ann Arbor: 1949 of this edition: "It is interesting not only because of the brilliance of the editing but curiously enough to the American botanist as well for involving in the discussion certain species from Virginia other parts of the New World and Asia. The illustrations of these plants have been largely overlooked in botanical history because of their incidental presence in a work which might not be expected to contain anything of the sort. Some were merely borrowed from l'Escluse or de Lobel but others seem to be original in this work." A fine and crisp copy. Bookplate of Piergiorgio Borio M.D. ❧ D.S.B. XIII pp. 328-34.

Scarce the OCLC lists just three copies NLM VXG PPC. This is the first edition of Theophrastus to apparently be published specifically as a medical textbook. This contains books vi to ix of the De Historia Plantarum as well as the first three chapters of Pliny's Historia Naturalis. This was translated by Theodore Gaza 1400-1475 that was originally printed in 1483. H. S. Reed notes that Theophrastus was the founder of Botanical science and one of the greatest botanists of all time. The printer Seybold was himself a physician and "probably developed the publication of medical manuals on his own press as an adjunct to his practice . He was instrumental in incorporating the knowledge of the Greek physicians into the standard medical corpus"Chrisman Lay Culture Learned Culture 36 174. The interesting binding is tooled with borders of 2 double ruled frames enclosing strapwork with dots in the small rectangular spaces and large central panels different on the front and back covers of geometrical designs and acrons and a foliate pattern. The title is written on the edges in a contemporary hand. H. Sybold unknown books

Rare this had not been to auction since December of 1967 when it sold for $75000 until it sold for $55200 at the Haskell Norman sale 3/18/1998. Stillwell notes that this is the earliest scientific botany. A study of about 5 plants described according to a rather primitive classification which held however until the mid-sixteenth century. Its ninth section on the medicinal properties of plants"the earliest extant herbal except for fragments of a Greek herbal c. 35 B.C."is believed to have been added somewhat after Theophrastus's time. Known as the founder of scientific botany Theophrastus was born in Lesbos and was Aristotle's most highly regarded student and succeeded Aristotle as head of the Lyceum in Athens. He was a prolific writer yet only these two works survive as major works. His De Historia Plantarum described and classifies several hundred plants while the De Causis Plantarum is a work of etiology: exploring a number of topics including generation seeds and the effects of cultivation on wild species. The Historia divides plants into four main divisions: trees shrubs undershrubs and herbs. The translation is by Theodoros Gaza a Greek who became a leading figure in the Italian Renaissance. This translation was commissioned by Pope Nicholas V 1448-1455 a patron of scholars who wished to set up a library that included Greek texts in Latin. Bartholomaeus Confalonerius 2 Feb unknown books

Gutes Exemplar. - Aus der Bibliothek von Prof Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) - Englisch; Griechisch. - Theophrastos von Eresos (griechisch Theóphrastos; * um 371 v. Chr. zu Eresos auf der Insel Lesbos; † um 287 v. Chr. in Athen), deutsch auch Theophrast, war ein griechischer Philosoph und Naturforscher. Er war ein bedeutender Schüler des Aristoteles und als dessen Nachfolger Leiter der peripatetischen Schule. ... (wiki) // The present work owes its origin to the editors' belief that, in attempting to establish the text of a work so difficult as the Metaphysica, careful regard should be paid to the oldest known MS., the Vindobonensis. This MS. was for some reason neglected even in the valuable edition of the late Hermann Usener. The editors had hoped that a recollation of Usener's MSS., together with a collation of the Vindobonensis and of all the late MSS., might result in a clear understanding of their interrelations and might thus give a firm basis for reconstituting the text on other than eclectic principles. In this hope they have been to some extent disappointed, though it does indeed appear that Usener's MSS. are not fairly representative of the tradition. The text as here given, the English translation, the greater part of the Introduction, and all the Commentary are the work of Mr. Ross; for that part of the Introduction which deals with the MSS., for the apparatus criticus, and for the Indexes Mr. Fobes is responsible. ...

Foxing to prelims. Light water damage has caused rippling to DJ. Edgewear to DJ. ; Theophrastus' The Characters consists of brief, vigorous and trenchant delineations of moral types, which contain a most valuable picture of the life of his time. They form the first recorded attempt at systematic character writing. The book has been regarded by some as an independent work; others incline to the view that the sketches were written from time to time by Theophrastus, and collected and edited after his death; others, again, regard the Characters as part of a larger systematic work, but the style of the book is against this. Theophrastus has found many imitators in this kind of writing, notably Hall (1608) , Sir Thomas Overbury (1614–16) , Bishop Earle (1628) and Jean de La Bruyère (1688) , who also translated the Characters. ; 153 pages
