Zodiacus Vitae: Hoc Est de Hominis Vita Studio ac Moribus Optime Instituendis Libri XII. cum Indice Accuratissimo

16166130London: Ex Officina Societatis Stationariorum printed by John Legat 1616. Small 8vo 4 294 66pp. Index. Woodcut device on title and initials. 18th century ruled calf spine lettered in gilt marbled page edges. Armorial bookplate of Adam Urquhart Esq. to front pastedown else clean internally and with minimal foxing. One of roughly half a dozen early English printings in the original Latin of the humanist poem by Neopolitan poet Marcello Stellato ca. 1500-1550. The work is divided into 12 books each for a sign of the Zodiac. Originally published in 1536 in Venice the poem was first translated into English by Barnaby Googe six books published in 1561 and then the complete Zodiake of Life in 1565. It was widely read and distributed in London and also taught in early English grammar school. Shakespeare almost certainly studied the work and it is thought to be the inspiration for his "All the world's a stage" monologue from As you Like It. Editions printed in London of this famous poem are markedly less common in the trade than other continental printings. Gardner 893. STC 19146.

"Bartholin’s fame is due not to his originality but to his learning and reputation as a teacher; as a strict Aristotelian he clarified the essential points in the doctrines of his time eliminating obsolete and superfluous theories. As a theologian his personal life was marked by piety and Lutheran orthodoxy. His anatomical manual Institutiones well arranged and handy but without illustrations was reprinted five times. It became still more famous when his son Thomas brought out an enlarged and illustrated edition."DSB. hardcover

1615ST20812Rome: Bartolomeo Zannetti 1615. Second Edition. 222 x 160 mm. 8 3/4 x 6 1/2". 12 p.l. 304 pp. 12 leaves.

Attractive woodcut head- and tailpieces throughout historiated initials and two woodcut astrological charts in the text. Front pastedown with morocco book label of Stanislas de Guaita; rear flyleaf with his inked inscription: "Collationné. Complet - à Nancy. ce 27 Xbre 1895. - Guaita." Stanislas de Guaita et sa bibliothèque occulte 15 this copy; Caillet I 291; Graesse I 127; USTC 4022052. See also Thorndike VI pp. 202-04. A bit of rubbing at corners other light wear to the binding inconsequential foxing here and there isolated quires slightly darkened but an excellent copy--crisp and clean internally in a solid decorative binding still shining with gilt. In a lovely early binding this is a notorious 19th century occultist's copy of a scarce 17th century refutation of astrology. Our author Jesuit scholar Alessandro de Angelis 1559-1620 taught logic natural history metaphysics and theology at the Collegio Romano eventually serving as prefect of studies from 1611-17. De Angelis' only known publication the "Astologos" systematically picks apart common astrological beliefs on both metaphysical and theological grounds. First printed in Lyon the work appears here in a second edition issued the same year; both seem to be rare as we were able to trace only six copies at auction since 1966. Making our copy of an already absorbing book even more intriguing is its former owner the French poet and occultist Stanislas de Guaita 1861-97 whose short but colorful life was full of curious incident. He founded a chapter of the Rosicrucians published several works on magic and Kabbalah and had a defrocked priest declare a "magical war" against him which culminated in a decidedly unmagical though fortunately not fatal pistol duel. He is also responsible for the iconic symbol of a goat's head in an inverted pentagram now used to represent Satanism which he had originally used as an illustration for his 1897 work "La Clef de la Magie Noire" "The Key to Black Magic". In addition to these activities Guaita assembled an extensive library of books on various occult and related topics. His collection was sold by the Paris bookseller Dorbon whose 1899 catalog of the library includes 2227 volumes. Ours is #15 priced at the significant sum of 65 francs perhaps $1200 in today's buying power. Bartolomeo Zannetti unknown
