Dezember 1728 in Brugg; 7. Oktober 1795 in Hannover war ein Schweizer Arzt Gelehrter Philosoph und Schriftsteller der seit 1768 in Hannover wirkte. Zimmermann begegnete mehrmals Goethe. Sein Hauptwerk Über die Einsamkeit in dem das damals aktuelle Thema der Melancholie eine große Rolle spielt erschien 1784/85 und machte Zimmermann im damaligen gebildeten Europa weithin bekannt. Die russische Zarin Katharina II. erhob ihn 1786 in den Ritterstand. Sie lud ihn auch an ihren Hof in Sankt Petersburg ein eine Einladung der er aber nicht nachkam. In seinen letzten Lebensjahren entwickelte sich Zimmermann zum Gegner der Aufklärung. Wikipedia Johann Georg Ritter von Zimmermann / Johann Georg Zimmermann 8 December 1728 in Brugg Aargau 7 October 1795 in Hanover was a Swiss philosophical writer naturalist and physician. He studied at Göttingen where he took the degree of a doctor of medicine and established his reputation by the dissertation De irritabilitate 1751. After traveling in the Netherlands and France he practised as a physician in Brugg and wrote Über die Einsamkeit "Of solitude" 1756 178485 and Vom Nationalstolz "Of national pride" 1758. These books made a great impression in Germany and were translated into almost every European language. In Zimmermann's character there was a strange combination of sentimentalism melancholy and enthusiasm; and it was by the free and eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the interest of his contemporaries. Another book by him written at Brugg Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft "Of experience in pharmacology" 1764 also attracted much attention. In 1768 he settled at Hanover as private physician of George III with the title of a Hofrat. Catherine II invited him to the court of St Petersburg but this invitation he declined. He attended Frederick the Great during that monarch's last illness and afterwards issued various books about him of which the chief were Über Friederich den Grossen und meine Unterredung mit ihm kurz vor seinem Tode "On Frederick the Great and my conversation with him shortly before his death" 1788 and Fragmente über Friedrich den Grossen "Fragments on Frederick the Great" 1790. According to the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition "these writings display extraordinary personal vanity and convey a wholly false impression of Frederick's character." Wikipedia hardcover

MORANDI, Antonio (fl 18th century); RASTRELLI, Giovanni RanieriBiblio.com

Trattato Universale Teorico e Pratico dei Parti necessario alle mammane ai chirurghi ed ai medici. Bound with: Documenti morali e civili da un padre diretti al suo figlio.

1781D8826Venice / Naples: Antonio Graziosi / Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1788 / 1781. Hardcover. Very Good. Morandis rare treatise on operative midwifery with Rastrellis even rarer work on wisdom and morals. MORANDI Antonio fl. 18th century. Trattato Universale Teorico e Pratico dei Parti necessario alle mammane ai chirurghi ed ai medici. Venice: Antonio Graziosi 1788. 8vo 190 x 120mm. v-xxx 399 pages; lacks 2 blanks at beginning. Bound with: RASTRELLI Giovanni Ranieri. Documenti morali e civili da un padre diretti al suo figlio. Naples: Per Vincenzo Mazzola-Vocola 1781. xii 80 pages. Oval portrait of Rastrelli signed by Joseph Tronus. Woodcut chapter head- and tail-pieces throughout. Near contemporary Italian vellum edges speckled; contents clean only some slight foxing at front and back of volume. Few lines of contents written in Italian script on front free endpaper and signed G. Viparelli on title. The rise of obstetrics in the early modern period had a mixed effect on midwifery. Some midwives clung to their traditional ways. Others embraced the new science and sought retraining. National policies also shaped the contours of midwifery practice. Overall the art of midwifery could no longer be considered a subdivision of medicine but must be regarded as a branch of surgery requiring a thorough knowledge of surgical principles. The title of this work does not indicate its comprehensiveness; it is more than an operative midwifery for it includes much that belongs to a general treatise on the subject. Rastrellis work and portrait cannot be found elsewhere suggesting it is commonly an addition to texts and the title translated is a moral and civil work directed by a father to his son. Rastrelli was a noted poet in the latter half of the 18th century. While both parts are exceedingly rare the first is only located at the Wellcome Library and the Biblioteca della Fondazione Biblioteca San Bernandino in Italy.

(BINDINGS - SCHOOLROOM CLOTH, 18TH CENTURY). BIBLE IN GREEKBiblio.com

Title in Greek then: NOVUM TESTAMENTUM

1786ST20133London: Excudebant A. Rivington & J. Marshall: Impensis J. F. & C. Rivington T. Longman & T. Cadell 1786. 175 x 105 mm. 7 x 4 1/4". 368 pp. 1 leaf ads. Contemporary brown "school cloth" rough linen raised bands. Front flyleaf with owner inscription of John Cutler dated Sept 21 1789 four lines of Latin doggerel threatening anyone who steals the book with hanging and two large copperplate trials of Cutler's signature. ESTC N63834. Not in Darlow & Moule. A little fraying at top and bottom of joints light foxing and toning throughout due to paper quality a couple of small ink stains but a surprisingly appealing copy the text extremely clean and the unsophisticated makeshift binding--remarkably--with no significant wear. This is an almost startling survival: an 18th century New Testament in Greek in its original utilitarian binding preserved in condition far better than what could be anticipated given the audience of generally uncareful pupils for which it was intended. Considering the usual depredations of school children the rough school cloth should have been worn to shreds long ago but against the odds it has fortuitously escaped hard use and now gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom very close to its original condition. One particularly delightful aspect of our copy is the flamboyant declaration of ownership by a pupil called John Cutter who inked his name no fewer than four times in different styles and with calligraphic flourishes across the flyleaf. Cutter's neatly penned book curse threating any would-be thieves with hanging may have helped to preserve the book as it now exists. In fact there are few signs of use by any owner rightful or unlawful. The leaves are free from any markings and the insubstantial binding appears to have rarely left the shelf. Excudebant A.

TITI LIVII PATAVINI HISTORIARUM AB URBE CONDITA LIBRI QUI SUPERSUNT XXXV

1775ST17825Paris: Joseph-Gérard Barbou rue Mathurins 1775. 163 x 96 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 3/4". Seven volumes. Edited by J. N. Lallemand; preface by Jean Baptiste Louis Crévier. EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY GREEN ARMORIAL MOROCCO perhaps by Derome covers with triple gilt rule border central gilt coat of arms of the Blanche family featuring a seated fox with one paw raised above it a row of three five-pointed stars smooth spine divided into compartments containing a gilt lyre surrounded by stars and dots floral sprigs at corners volume number within a laurel wreath gilt lettering marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With printer's two-swans device on title pages volume I with frontispiece portrait engraved by L. J. Cathelin after J. C. Philips. With pencilled note on front flyleaf attributing the binding to Derome. Brunet III 1108 "Edition estimée"; Dibdin II 171. For the binding: Olivier Pl. 2279. ◆Spines slightly and uniformly sunned very light shelf wear to bindings occasional faint foxing in volume IV but A SUPERB SET almost entirely absent of any signs of use. This is a fine-paper copy in a binding both charming and handsome of what Dibdin deems "a truly beautiful and accurate edition" of Livy's Roman history. Brunet called it an "esteemed edition" and notes that fine paper copies like the present set sold for twice what regular copies cost. First printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1469 the "Histories" of Titius Livius Patavani 59 B.C. - 17 A.D. follow the rise of Rome from the founding of the city through its triumphs in the Punic Wars and up through the reign of the author's contemporary emperor Augustus. His account is notable for its emphasis on the glorious triumphs and accounts of heroism of the Romans stemming in his eyes from their virtue; his history is intended not just to inform but also to elevate the reader. The present edition according to Dibdin builds on the fine editions edited by Crevier and Drakenborch incorporating their useful notes and additions. It was beautifully printed by Joseph-Gérard Barbou 1723-90 scion of a family that had begun printing in Lyon in 1529 moving to Paris in 1540. Joseph apparently specialized in Latin classics producing editions of Cicero Lucretius Pliny Caesar and Martial among others. The fine binding here does not have Derome's ticket but is well executed enough to make the attribution written in at front plausible. There were no fewer than 18 members of the Derome family not to mention workshop associates who made their livings as binders in Paris from the middle of the 17th century until the first quarter of the 19th. Our binding is tasteful--perfect for a scholarly edition of a classic--and conceivably the work of one of the Deromes or of an extremely competent associate. Olivier attributes our armorial stamp to the 18th century Blanche family of Burgundy and he finds it on a copy of Barbou's 1771 Sallust in the library of Madame la Comtesse de Cossé. The "country house" condition of the present set suggests an aristocratic owner more concerned with owning fine books than with reading them. [Joseph-Gérard] Barbou, rue Mathurins unknown

MENON, active 18th centuryBiblio.com

The Professed Cook

17693726First published as Soupers de la cour in 1755 Menon's work first appeared in English in 1767 in a translation by Bernard Clermont under the title The Art of Modern Cookery Displayed Consisting of the most approved methods of cookery &c. London printed for the translator 1767. This is its first appearance under the new title which was to be retained for the third edition of 1776 in which the translator's name appears on the title-page. With a six-page 'Translator's Apology' in addition to the 'Author's Advertisement'. In his fascinating apology Clermont reveals many of the concerns of the eighteenth century chef while pointing to some of the key differences between English and French cuisine. He also writes about the challenges of translation: 'This Book was published in four small Volumes. I thought it too full of Words and of Repetitions and that the Sense of the Author could be explained without all the volubility of the French Language which I have as much as I was capable supplied with the Expressiveness of the English' p. vi. 'Menon's book covers menus hors d'oeuvres entrées and some deserts. An entire chapter is devoted to sherbets or ices and ice cream. Like Marin that other great contemporary of Menon's both placed emphasis on their sauces. Menon's recipes were surprisingly varied coming not only from France but Italy Germany Ceylon and Flanders and used in everything from hors d'oeuvres to deserts' Harrison Une Affaire du Gout 1983. 8vo 210 x 125 mm pp. xvi xxiv 286; 2 blank ii 289-588 some light browning in text in contemporary calf single filet gilt to covers plain spine with raised bands ruled in gilt spine worn with vertical cracking restoration to spine and corners rather a workaday bit of repair work tending to solidity rather than beauty with the early ownership inscription of M.

THE LONDON VOCABULARY ENGLISH AND LATIN: PUT INTO A NEW METHOD PROPER TO ACQUAINT THE LEARNER WITH THINGS AS WELL AS PURE LATIN WORDS. ADORNED WITH TWENTY-SIX PICTURES. FOR THE USE OF SCHOOLS

1797ST15599London: Printed for T. Longman B. Law F. & C. Rivington R. Baldwin G. & T. Wilkie and J. Walker 1797. 21st Edition. 150 x 93 mm. 5 7/8 x 3 5/8". viii 123 1 ads pp. Contemporary brown burlap flat spine. With allegorical vignette on title page and 25 half-page woodcuts illustrating items from the vocabulary lists. Pastedowns with traces of book label removal. ◆Spine slightly cocked short split to cloth on rear joint a little fraying at ends of spine but the insubstantial binding surprisingly solid. Two small stains to each pastedown where labels removed title page lightly browned leaves a shade less than bright due to paper quality other minor imperfections but an excellent copy internally clean and fresh with comfortable margins. All in all remarkably well preserved. First issued around 1711 this is the best-selling work of James Greenwood 1683-1737 an influential grammarian and a proponent of women's education. Arranged into 33 chapters the book divides vocabulary lists by topic beginning with "things" and proceeding through minerals plants animals humans and diseases to everyday items affairs of church and state the law the military and finally to the various parts of speech from verbs to conjunctions. Widely used the work was revised and reprinted until at least 1828. At about the time this work was originally issued Greenwood had founded a school in Essex where he accepted girls as well as boys as pupils; he was later recruited to serve as assistant headmaster at St. Paul's School in London. This volume is of particular interest because of its rarely seen utilitarian period binding. We would have expected it to have been worn to shreds long ago but against the odds it has withstood hard use by young pupils remarkably well and it gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom at the turn of the 19th century. Printed for T. Longman, B. Law, F. & C. Rivington, R. Baldwin, G. & T. Wilkie, and J. Walker unknown
