1773709751773. Teil von: Effigies Virorum eruditorum atque Artificum Bohemiae et Moraviae . 1773 Prag. Kupferstich 177 x 114 mm. J. Balzer sc. Prag. Das Blatt zeigt Partlicius im Halbprofil nach rechts mit hochangesetzter Krause und Mantel vor fein punktiertem Hintergrund; die niedrige querrechteckige Bildlösung mit betontem Kopf- und Oberkörperbereich rückt seine Physiognomie in den Mittelpunkt während auf Attribute verzichtet wird. Die elegante dichte Schraffurtechnik mit betontem Licht auf Haar und Krause entspricht dem Stil des in Prag tätigen Stechers Johann Balzer der zahlreiche Gelehrtenporträts schuf. Simeon Partlicius von Spitzberg auch Partliz Partlitz; 1588-1640 war ein aus Böhmen stammender deutscher Arzt Mathematiker Astronom und hermetischer Naturphilosoph. Nach Studien in Wittenberg und anderen Universitätsorten wirkte er als praktischer Arzt Astronom und "Chymicus" unter anderem in den Niederlanden und im deutschen Sprachraum. Zu seinen wichtigsten Schriften gehören das astrologisch-apokalyptische "Prognosticon divinum et verum" Alkmaar 1635 sowie das medizinisch-philosophische "Medici systematis harmonici" Frankfurt 1625 das 1645 in Leiden und 1654 in englischer Übersetzung als "A new method of physick" erschien. Medizinhistorisch ist Partlicius als Vertreter einer synkretistischen von Paracelsus und Galen beeinflussten Medizin bedeutsam die humoralpathologische Lehren mit hermetischer Kosmologie und Astrologie zu verbinden versucht. Sein "Medici systematis harmonici" und dessen englische Rezeption durch Nicholas Culpeper zeigen wie paracelsische und galenische Traditionen zu einem neuen "harmonischen" System verschmolzen werden sollten und wie solche Entwürfe in den frühneuzeitlichen Debatten um Reform oder Verteidigung der Schulmedizin eine Rolle spielten. Seine apokalyptischen Prognostica verknüpfen medizinische Praxis Astronomie und eschatologische Erwartung und illustrieren damit die Durchdringung von Medizin Astrologie und Theologie im 17. Jahrhundert. Das Porträt macht Partlicius als Typus des frühneuzeitlichen "physicus et mathematicus" sichtbar und dokumentiert seine Aufnahme in den Kanon bemerkenswerter Ärzte- und Gelehrtenpersönlichkeiten die im 18. Jahrhundert antiquarisch gesammelt wurden. Durch die elegante repräsentative Ausführung des Stichs wird seine gelehrte Autorität betont und an ein Publikum adressiert das sich für die Geschichte heterodoxer Medizin und Naturphilosophie interessierte.

17712128Boston Massachusetts 1771. ALS from Clergyman Simeon Howard to Un-named Foe Boston October 27 1771 <br /> <br /> 4-page bifolium autograph letter signed. Measures about 9 x 7 3/8 inches. Ragged right margin but no content lost. Previous folds with weakness at folds. Good Condition.<br /> <br /> Manuscript letter addressed to "Honoured Sir" from the clergyman Simeon Howard of Boston Massachusetts. Sadly we do not know to whom the letter was written but Simeon Howard defends himself against several apparent accusations. To wit--Howard refutes the accusation of having targeted a specific individual in his sermons stating that his preaching was general and not directed at anyone in particular. Furthermore he dismisses the criticism regarding his "wit" and the reference to a sermon on the duty of mothers noting that he simply borrowed the ideas from a published work by a Dr. Tillotson. <br /> <br /> Howard goes on to strongly challenge the recipient's "extraordinary conduct" accusing him of repeatedly speaking ill of him in public misrepresenting his sermons attempting to ridicule him and trying to damage his reputation among his parishioners. He concludes by implying the recipient's actions are an attempt to undermine his ability to serve his congregation and potentially deprive him of his livelihood.<br /> <br /> Simeon Howard was born in Bridgewater Maine May 1733 and died in Boston Aug. 1804. He graduated from Harvard in 1758 and after teaching and at the same time studying the- ology became pastor of a church in Cumberland Nova Scotia. In 1765 he returned to Harvard as a resident graduate-student and was appointed a tutor the following year. In 1767 he became pastor of the West Church Boston where he ministered till his death with the exception of a sojourn of a year and a half in Nova Scotia where he and many of his congregation had gone to avoid the dangers of the Revolution. He published various sermons including a famous 1773 sermon to Boston soldiers where he defines Liberty as the "external force and constraint†by other men."<br /> <br /> A full transcript of the letter will be provided. Several highlights include the following:<br /> <br /> " In general I would observe that the charge you bring against me in the first paragraph is entirely groundless. I did not in either of the discourses with which you pretend to be so much offended point out any particular person as having been guilty of the crime I was preaching against. I did not say or even insinuate that I thout any one of the congregation was guilty."<br /> <br /> "Have you not repeatedly and from time to time for many weeks past spoken of me in the most unkind and injurious terms.Have you not endeavoured to render me ridiculous and contemptible by reflections on my person and manner of life in my youth"<br /> <br /> Unfortunate that we have no record with whom Howard was fighting. Perhaps the annals of history can provide more details than we have uncovered. unknown

174168496Amsterdam & Leipzig, chez P. Mortier, 1741, in-12, XII-212 pp, 1 pl, Veau marbré de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, encadrement d'un filet à froid sur les plats, tranches rouges, Ouvrage très rare, orné d'une grande planche dépliante gravée sur cuivre représentant le télescope de Newton et ses différentes pièces. Nouvelle édition, considérablement augmentée, de ce traité qui fut publié pour la première fois à Paris, en 1738, avec un titre sensiblement différent. Claude Siméon Passemant (1702-1769), qui tenait boutique au Louvre, fut l'un des plus remarquables constructeurs d'instruments d'optique de la première moitié du XVIIIe siècle. Il fut dans ce domaine le digne successeur de Bion, qui fut en quelque sorte son mentor, puisque c'est à la lecture du célèbre traité de ce dernier qu'il se prit de passion pour les instruments. Bel exemplaire, habilement restauré. Petite réparation à la planche. Daumas, pp. 347 et suiv. Couverture rigide
