155211254Paris: Adrien Turnebe. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1552. First Edition. Vellum. 6 blanks 24; 4 25 3 6 blanks pp. A small quarto 8" x 5". Full vellum with very neatly handwritten title in brown ink on the spine. Covers have normal minor wear. The paper used for theend papers and blanks is a close match to the text paper but with slightly wider chain lines. The first book is in Greek; the second de igne Lib. Eiusdem in Eundem Adnotatiunculae with the date of 1553 and is the Latin translation. Except for a very slight bit of toning and very occasional foxing the paper is clean strong and unmarked. Inside front cover has the bookplate of Thomas Gaisford 1779-1855 Dean of Christ Church curator of the Bodleian and delegate of the Oxford University Press. The first separate edition of Theophrastus's treatise on fire beautifully printed by Turnebe a specialist in Greek textual criticism and Director of the Royal Press. Theophrastus studied under Plato and was Aristotle's successor at the Peripatetic school. He was interested in philosophy especially in how it related to the natural world and his works on botany are famous. Here he looks at fire and tackles the idea of it as a "simple body" or first principle and seems to come to the conclusion -- contra Aristotle -- that fire cannot be an "element" because it relies on other principles for its existence. An important landmark of classical scholarship and printing in the first separate edition -- in both Greek and Latin -- nicely printed and in very good condition with lovely provenance.

Ejusdem Tabulas duas capita librorum complectentes : quarum unam libris de historia alteram de causis plantarum unàcum vocabulis quibusdam græcorum & latinorum nominum præfixas invenies lector. Theodoro Gaza interprete. & Second and last part: "Theophrasti de causis plantarum libri VI. Theodoro Gaza interprete. Luteciæ ex officina Christiani Wechel. 1529" Very Rare second single edition first published in Tarvisii 1483 and together with Aristotel. Hist. anim. Ventia 1504. "Copies of the complete 1529 edition seem to be quite rare as we have found only three others listed above." Hunt catalogue 1:34-35 entry 26. "This is the earliest work of scientific botany a subject not addressed in any of the writings of Aristotle." Theophrastus "system of botanical classification analogous to the zoological system in Aristotle's Historia animalium maintained its authority until the advent of the microscope in the mid 17th century." Garrison & Morton Theophrastus of Eresos c.370-287 bce "one of Aristotle's greatest students built upon Diodes' work and founded the field of biology known as botany. In his works 'On the Natural History of Plants' and 'On the Origins of Plants' Theophrastus identified and classified over 500 species of plants and explained their medicinal properties. He succeeded Aristotle at the Lyceum and taught there for nearly 35 years. He has often been called "the father of botany" and perhaps deserves the title "the father of pharmacognosy" as well. Remarkably Theophrastus pioneered the concept of drug tolerance observing that the power of a drug taken over a long period diminishes in people who become accustomed to taking them."
