1760ST15384b-dFrankfurt Liége and Paris: Bassompierre 1760 1761 1766. 185 x 98 mm. 6 1/2 x 3 3/4". xviii 2 211 pp.; lvi 401 3 pp.; vii 5 201 pp. Three separately published works. <br/> First two works in contemporary marbled sheep spines gilt in compartments first work with inelegant repair to spine; the third work in half sheep over marbled boards. Front pastedowns with ex-libris of Daniel Berditchevsky. ◆Short crack to tail of a couple of joints boards with insignificant worming extremities a little rubbed but the bindings sound and not displeasing; excellent copies internally clean and fresh with only minor imperfections.<br/> <br/> Intended to promote piety in an increasingly secular world these works were written by a man deemed the "Enemy of the Philosophers" for his defense of traditional Christian spirituality against Enlightenment rationalism. Marquis Louis-Antoine Caraccioli 1719-1803 was born in Paris to a noble Neapolitan family and travelled the Continent trying a variety of careers from the church to the military before returning to the city of his birth to pursue a literary life. He wrote biographical and historical works as well as defenses of the pope but is best known for his excursions into conduct literature his experiments with printing text in color and his Christian apologia. Here he seeks to refute the deism of the great "philosophes" of the Enlightenment in "The Enigmatic Universe" and to reconcile science with Christianity; offers Christianity as the best path to a happy life in "The Religion of the Honest Man"; and counsels self-reflection and soul-searching in "Conversations with Myself." These copies come from the library of Belgian theological writer poet and collector Daniel Berditchevsky. Bassompierre unknown
1578ST15632London: Printed by John Kingston for Andrew Maunsell 1578. First Edition in English. 189 x 134 mm. 7 3/8 x 5 1/4". 4 87 1 leaves with foliation errors but complete.Translated from the Latin by Thomas Twyne. <br/> Retrospective half pigskin over marbled boards raised bands red morocco label. Title with woodcut ornament head- and tailpieces many decorative initials. Printed in black letter. Front pastedown with Macclesfield bookplate for the South library; title with inscription in ink "Dulcius ex ipso fonte bibuntur aquae" "Sweetly the waters have been drunk from the fountain itself" and with the initials "D. Fl." see below; a couple of contemporary annotations in ink one slightly shaved; numerous marginal readers' marks in ink and pencil. STC 6231; ESTC S105155. Paper a shade or two less than bright title somewhat soiled a dark stain affecting the upper corner of ff. 24-28 touching text but all is legible; still an overall very good clean copy in a pleasing new binding.<br/> <br/> This is the first appearance in English of Daneau's 1576 "Physica Christiana" the foundational work of "Mosaic physics" which attempted to reconcile the account of creation in Genesis with scientific knowledge of the natural world in order to create a "Christian natural philosophy." Though obviously theological in origin "Christian Physics" is nevertheless substantially a work of natural history generally adopting the Aristotelian worldview then prevalent. The first of two parts is a disquisition on creation a long Socratic dialogue on the meaning of the opening chapters of Genesis. The second part which occupies a good deal more than two-thirds of the volume is a broader treatise on nature including discussion of such things as light and shadow meteors the rainbow thunder precious stones glass gold various trees stars and planets fish birds elephants foxes and many more topics. A Calvinist theologian forced into itinerancy because of his incautiously expressed opinions Daneau 1530-95 produced a considerable number of books mostly commentaries on the Bible and controversial works written against Lutherans and Catholics alike. Our copy has a couple of curious contemporary marginal annotations. On the verso of fo. 2 at the beginning of the second chapter someone noted "Five / speciall / copies of na- / turall phi- / losophye." And at the head of fo. 39 mis-numbered 40 recto is the inscription "Sr. Walter Rawley Laureatus poeta May 4 anno reg. Eliz. 39 anno dom. 1598." There is nothing in Raleigh's biography that can account for his being mentioned as poet laureate in 1598; in that period he was occupied in naval pursuits against the Spanish armada. It has been suggested that our copy was once owned by scholar and translator Andrew Hartwell 1553-1606 a bibliophile who sometimes used the Latin motto which appears on the title page here and who marked passages in his books with the floret-like squiggle seen here on ff. 3-12. At the same time the "D. Fl." inscription on the title page resembles the ownership mark used by the celebrated 17th century bibliophile antiquary politician and magistrate Sir Daniel Fleming 1633-1701. Later the book was securely located in the great library of the earls of Macclesfield which was sold in 12 sales at Sotheby's from 16 March 2004 to 2 October 2008 for some £22 million at the time approximately $40 million. The library was dispersed when the 9th Earl Macclesfield Richard Timothy George Mansfield Parker b. 1943 who was described by the "Independent" as leading an "unconventional lifestyle" was forced to leave his 14th century Shirburn Castle after a protracted family dispute. Called by the paper "a sleeping beauty" his crenellated home had a moat a drawbridge and at the time of the Earl's departure a repair bill of approximately £2.6 million. Despite the building's dilapidation the books in the very large library were distinguished for being uniformly well preserved were almost always in their original bindings and were a sensation at auction for more than four years. The present work is rare: ABPC and RBH locate just one other copy at auction in the past 40 years. [Printed by John Kingston] for Andrew Maunsell unknown
