165037850Paris: Pierre Rocolet 1650. 4to. 9 1/4 x 7 inches. 6 340 6pp. Engraved printer's device on title-page engraved head-piece and initial on the dedication leaf 26 engraved illustrations including one full-page. Contemporary mottled calf expertly rebacked to style spine gilt with raised bands red morocco lettering piece<br/> <br/> Rare first edition of an important work of optics and the musical nature of the refraction of color.<br/> <br/> La Chambre a protégé of Cardinal de Richelieu served as physician to Chancellor Seguier and Louis XIII and entered the Academie Royale in 1666. The present work was instrumental in the development of French mathematician Pierre de Fermat's eponymous principle as well as the experiments by Newton which led to his publication of Opticks in 1704. Following Aristotle in deriving a link between the color spectrum and musical theory La Chambre theorized all colors being encompasses within white light and arranged colors over two octaves with the seven colors of Aristotle at successive fourths fifths and octaves. Thus arranged symmetrically the "scale" could be read in either direction both up and down with white as the highest or lowest notes. La Chambre hoped to establish a universal theory of color and musical harmony; i.e. if a musical interval was dissonant the colors it represented would similarly clash. In Newton's Opticks this parallel between the color spectrum and a musical scale was further refined. A second edition of this work would be published in 1662.<br/> <br/> Krivatsy 3017; Brunet III 726; Grasse IV 62; Cioranescu 22651; Esmerian 11 annexe A v. Pierre Rocolet unknown

166519485Paris: Jacques d’Allin 1665. Contemporary mottled calf spine and label gilt edges sprinkled red. Ownership inscriptions on the title and verso one dated 1674. Bookplate of “Pitfirrane.†In very good condition. Second edition of this pioneering work in neuropsychology. The author attempts to explain the guiding principles of human behavior and argues that life processes are responses to linking images that are innate to the organism. The text describes cognition in all living things including plants natural instinct and the functions of the soul. Cureau de la Chambre’s assertion that even inanimate vegetation has the faculties of thought and soul is unique; he claims that “everything which is living knows and all that which knows is living.†He goes on to classify cognition as either the “vegetative faculty†or the “natural faculty†the former being the body’s passive and innate mode the latter purposeful behavior resulting from intelligence. He acknowledges the Divine role in both: God designs organisms to function effectively without active intelligence but also gives free will to some.<br /> <br /> Marin Cureau de la Chambre 1594-1669 was a French physician. He served as royal physician to Louis XIII and Louis XIV and wrote numerous books on human and animal passions light digestion and occult practice. Peter Bayle called him “one of the most illustrious 17th century followers of Aristotle. Despite his groundbreaking work in the field of psychology he was basically forgotten to the history of medicine.<br /> <br /> Caillet 2735; Wright John P. “The Embodied Soul in Seventeenth-Century French Medicine†in CBMH/BCHM Vol 8: 1991 21-42.

ScarceOf 180 etchings catalogued by Zigrosser 103 were done by Marin in Europe between 1905 and 1910. Of these many were not editioned or exist only as trial proofs. Of the ones which were editioned the editions are often very small in many cases under 10 but some were done in editions of 25 to 50 one the Meaux Cathedral was printed by the Gazette de Beaux Arts in a large edition probably about 500. All of the European prints are fairly traditional in treating the subjects realistically but Marin's turn to Modernism is evident in Zigrosser 104 an etching of the Brooklyn Bridge the first print he did after returning to America in 1911. unknown
