166541178Paris: Jacques Dallin 1665. The Blackmer copy First edition of this scarce treatise concerning the causes of the flooding of the Nile for the first time published separately previously included in his Pensées of 1634 and 1662; from the celebrated library of Henry M. Blackmer II with his bookplate. This could perhaps be a presentation copy as in addition to the gilt supralibros there is an inked inscription "Pour les Capucins de St. Honoré" to the title page. The Capuchin convent adjoined the Tuileries gardens. Cureau was Louis XIV's doctor the monarch apparently having been impressed by his ability to judge character from outward appearance. A precursor of Lavater Cureau was indeed best known for his work in the area of physiognomy but he also published on physics - the nature of light on rainbows - the occult and philosophy the final paper here being a study of the divine in Platonic philosophy. The critic Jean Chapelain his contemporary said of him: "C'est un excellent philosophe et dont les écrits sont purs dans le langage justes dans le dessein soutenus dans les ornements et subtils dans les raisonnements". Quarto 252 x 183 mm. Engraved map of the topography of the Nile to the text title page vignette historiated initials engraved head and tailpieces. Contemporary calf raised bands to spine compartments gilt with floral lozenges within double ruled panels presentation gilt stamp to front cover "Aux Capuchins de St. Honoré". Covers a little rubbed joints lightly chafed light browning. A very good copy. Blackmer 171; Ibrahim-Hilmy p. 351; just 6 copies on WorldCat three of them in the US. hardcover
1683001262Paris: A. Soubron 1683. Full Calf. Very Good. 14 412 pp. 100 emblem plates all full page. 12mo. 6 by 4 inches. Decorative devices head and foot pieces throughout in the form of bouquets friezes vases baskets as well as decorated letter at the beginning of each section 100 in all. Plates are wonderful baroque woodcuts each illustrating a moral. This would appear to be a second or third edition the first being in 1646. Brunet II 1658 who describes the work as "now a bit rare" mentions a 1684 edition without citing this earlier one and clearly meaning a different edition. Graesse III 114 mentions a 1681 edition without detail and thus this might essentially be. Tight. With some light scattered soilage but overall impression is clean other than on some of the plates a prior owner wrote Latin translations of the maxims beneath the printed captions -- never affecting the pictorial image. Also old handwritten cursive notes on title and blank verso. Attractively rebound in full modern calf with green and red spine labels. A. Soubron unknown

He was one of the leading French thinkers of the 17th century and his work is central to the academic and scientific movements of the second quarter of the century; an important part of it is devoted to the science theory and practice of music. He was a transitional figure at a crucial confluence of Renaissance and Baroque ideas in France summing up the accomplishments of the past and posing the difficult questions for the future inherent in the new attitudes of his own time." Albert Cohen in Grove Music Online<br /> <br /> "An examination of the Harmonicorum will at once show how much it was in advance of anything published up to that time and it is the first in which the science of acoustics is applied practically to the study of Music. Perhaps to us in the present day the greatest interest is in the last four Books treating of the various instruments known at that time divided into stringed and wind instruments the organ having a book to itself and instruments of percussion as bells and drums. These are illustrated profusely with woodcuts as well as with engravings on copper both printed in the text. It is worthy of notice that in treating of the organ several schemes are given for dividing the octave into more than twelve semi-tones so as to be able to use it in the keys impossible with unequal temperament." Matthew: The Literature of Music p. 53. <br /> <br /> Mersenne also authored an early and influential work on music theory Harmonie Universelle published in Paris 1636-37 addressing the relationship between music and mathematics and containing the earliest presentation of what have become known as "Mersenne's Laws" describing the harmonics of vibrating strings; he is thus often referred to as the "father of acoustics."<br /> <br /> A cornerstone of the literature.

16631752Paris: Jean du Puis/Widow of Langlois 1663. Scarce edition of this important treatise on perspective by the most scientifically rigorous of 17th-century French theorists of particular interest for its contention that the illustrations to earlier treatises were often defective Millard thus making it the first work on the subject to treat the problem of didactic illustration in a deliberate and self-conscious manner. A comprehensive textbook Book I gives basic geometrical definitions and an introduction to perspective construction; Book II treats simple and deformed perspectivenamely the curved or irregular surfaces found in vaulted ceilings niches etc. and examines the necessary surface distortion anamorphosis to bring a picture painted on such a surface into perspective; Book III deals with more complex cases of anamorphosis such as reflections on flat cylindrical and conical surfaces; and Book IV covers the use of dioptrics for placing figures on flat surfaces. The sections of books II and III dealing with anamorphosis were particularly important whether in Nicerons own practice as a painter or for later artists or theorists see the chapter on Niceron in Baltruaitis and according to Mahoney DSB the discussion of refraction in Book IV possibly contains the first published reference to Descartes derivation of the law of refraction X.104. The work first appeared in French in 1638; reprinted in 1646 and 1651 in the latter with the first appearance of Mersennes treatise. This edition is a second edition of that reprint.

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.
