Burgdorf 1723. Ad I: First edition of this interesting work of baroque literature. "In the year 1658 a script was published with the purported place of publication Lutetia Paris that caused a most disagreeable sensation: Heutelia Anagram for Helvetia . It contains the following fiction: A Palatine nobleman and a jurist from Wurttemberg both Protestants flee from the Thirty Years War to Switzerland and making ironical comments as they travel from place to place . The tone is unrestrained satirical and sometimes cynical especially when the status of women is concerned. A lot of brutianism is involved. Behind that facade however there is a scientific seriousness that gets to the bottom of things . The intention was always to uncover the oddities of Switzerland." transl. from Feller/Bonjour. Politically the travellers represent the aristocracy and take a firm stand against democracy. Zurich comes away relatively lightly whereas Bale does not. Of Bern however an unsparing social picture is outlined that led to a storm of protest and the "Gnadigen Herren" tried to surpress the book by all means. "Heutelia" was already identified in the 18th c. as a "liber satyricus rarissimus". Haller talks of a rare work and names as authors Jakob Graviseth or Gravisset Herr zu Liebenegg and Landvogt von Oron. More recent research especially by Walter Weigum declares the "Heutelia" to have been written by Hans Franz Veiras 1577-1672 the secretary of the Palatine Elector and Bohemian King Friedrich V who had fled to Zurich. Graviseth maybe translated and reworked the "Heutelia" from Latin giving it a Swissgerman interpretation. At the end the key to the names is found for example: Guretum=Zurich Sebilacopolis=Bale Rusinopolis=Bern Bonzus Corvinus=Jesuit Druida=Pastor Muftus=Messpriest etc. Ad II: First edition of the historic work by the Burgdorf councilman H.R. Grimm 1665-1749 who participated in the 2nd Villmerger War in 1712. Although this popular writing has many misrepresentations and mistakes it is characterized by its lively descriptions. The work also contains popular descriptions of the mountains rivers and natural wonders of Switzerland.

A great deal of European travel writing details the history of Europes relationship to the Orient a place highly exoticized by western observers. Jean Chardin was a trader and the son of a jeweler who first went to the Levant in 1665 to purchase gems. He made a second journey in 1671 in the company of the artist Guillaume Grelot whom he met in Istanbul and whose drawings inspired the engravings in the present work. This edition comprises the first volume of the authors manuscript dealing with the period 1671-1673 and is all that was published until 1711. His work is divided into four parts: the first recounts his journey from Paris to Ispahan 1671-77 the second describes Persia and Ispahan the third the ruins of Persepolis and the fourth gives a history of Persia based on Persian writers. /// Spon 1647-1685 was a doctor and pioneering archaeologist of Greek antiquities. After the revocation of the Edict of Nantes he fled France for Switzerland dying not long after in Geneva. His history of Geneva first published in 1680 was translated into English in 1687. Chardin an experienced trader is in a position to give detailed accounts of trade-routes prices articles bought and sold customs problems and so on whereas Spon is primarily interested in Antiquity concentrating on giving the exact wording of inscriptions illustrations of medals and ancient buildings and the comparison of towns and landscapes with the descriptions which appear in Classical texts.

Cats was a Dutch statesman and writer of emblem books a type of popular seventeenth-century literature consisting of woodcuts or engravings accompanied by didactic verses pointing a moral or presenting an ethical concern often related to love and marriage. Dutch artists of the Golden Age including Vermeer used such books as inspiration for motifs in their paintings and prints. The sources upon which Cats draws for this combination of emblem literature and love poetry are chiefly the Bible and the classics and occasionally Boccaccio and Cervantes. His first book Sinne-en minnebeelden "Portraits of Morality and Love" contained 96 emblematic engravings with text in Dutch Latin and French each emblem with a threefold interpretation expressing what were for Cats the three elements of human life: love society and religion. Perhaps his most famous emblem book written in a more homely style than his earlier works is Spiegel van den ouden en nieuwen tyt "Mirror of Old and New Times" with 128 emblematical engravings accompanied by quotations many of which have become household sayings. Two other works—Houwelyk 'Marriage' and Trou-ringh 'Wedding Ring' with 59 plates—are rhymed dissertations on marriage and conjugal fidelity. Finally in one of his last books Ouderdom buyten-leven en hof-gedachten "Old Age Country Life and Garden Thoughts" with 27 plates Cats writes movingly about his declining years.

1695621831695. Halae : Typis Christophori Salfeldi 1695 Kl.4° 16 6 pp. marmor. Broschur; feines Expl. Sehr Selten - Erste Ausgabe! Die hier vorliegenden "Disputatio de passionibus animi" "Über den mannigfaltigen Einfluß von Gemütsbewegungen auf den menschlichen Körper" zeigt daß es Stahl schon zum Beginn seines Wirkens in Halle seit 1694 also um das Problem der psychophysischen Wechselwirkung gegangen ist. Er hat seine Bedeutung seine Auswirkung in der Praxis beobachtet. Man findet hier die Grundlagen der medizinischen Psychologie. Es werden Beispiele für den Einfluß seelischer Erregungen auf den menschlichen Organismus angeführt. In der Einleitung wird hervor gehoben: "So leiten sich von den Leidenschaften des Gemütes in ihrer vielfältigen Bestimmung Leitung oder Änderungen der Bewegungen des menschlichen Körpers auch viele Krankheitsanzeichen her." Die Mehrschichtigkeit seelischer Alterationsstufen das Unverlierbare besonders tiefe Eindrücke wird in der Vorahnung späterer Erkenntnisse Freudausgesprochen: Zugegeben sei "daß der im Erbgang geprägte Prototyp der Leidenschaften und Neigungen des Gemüthes in gewohnheitsmäßiger Festigung nicht ganz umgekehrt werden kann" so vermag doch "die domminierendende Leidenschaft durch eine ihr entgegengesetzte Gewohnheit an die zweite oder gar dritte Stelle verdrängt werden wo sie zwar noch innerhalb der Ordnungen steht gleichwohl ihre Rangstufe wechselt." Es liegt dem in nuce die Idee von der Verdrängung zugrunde. Es wird schließlich empfohlen die psychologischen Beobachtungen bei der Behandlung der Patienten nützlich anzuwenden und zu verwerten indem man den Kranken "viele Ausbrüche des Erschreckens der Furcht des Zornes anhebender Ängstlichkeit durch guten Zuspruch und durch vertrauenserweckende Sicherheit" benimmt. So zieht die Arbeit die Folgerung: "Seelenleiden die von Verletzungen des Körpers herrühren sind oft mit schwerwiegenden und dauernden Folgen verbunden. Doch sie sind zu vertreiben mit der Heilung der Körperschäden." Die Lehre von den symptomatischen Psychosen wird im Ansatz vorweggenommen wenn auch die Terminologie auf einen noch neuen Begriffsterain vortastet. Es sind Gehversuche auf einem noch dunklem Gebiet in der ärztlichen Praxis. Man kann die "Disputatio" als eine frühe Arbeit bezeichnen die sich aus der Sicht des Arztes mit dem Problem psychisch verursachter Störungen von Krankheitsabläufen beschäftigt. Es handelt sich hierbei nicht um Geisteskrankheiten. Es geht vor allem um die körperlichen Einflüsse transitorischer Seelenzustände die man heute in der Lehre von den Neurosen und ihren verschiedenen Erscheinungsformen zusammenfassen würde. Die seit der Antike beknatte Verbindung zwischen Knostitution und Charakter wird auch nach der therapeutischen Seite hin erwogen und berücksichtigt. Es ist der Geist einer naturwissenschaftlichen Betrachtungsweise der sich durch diese Arbeit hindurchzieht. Es zeigt wie vorbeitreffend die Annahme war den STAHL'schen Animismus nur religiös zu interpretieren." "In dem an zweiter Stelle stehenden "Propempticon inaugurale" - es ist eine dem Doktoranden JOHANN JACOB REICH gewidmete Abschiedsrede STAHLS mit angeschlossener Vita REICHS - nimmt STAHL zu dem Thema "De synergeia naturae in medendo" Stellung. Man findet hier alle Merkmale des STAHLschen Systems und erkennt wie sehr der aus der Erfahrung schöpfende Psychologe den Vorrang gehabt hat. So wird eine tiefe Kenntnis des Eigenrhythmus biologischer Abläufe in dem Gedanken ausgesprochen: "Die Natur hat ihr eigenes Zeitmaß und verwendet dieses bei den rhythmischen Vorgängen des Lebens von längerer Zeitdauer so bei der Embryonalentwicklung bei der Geburt Zahnung Pubertät". Die Synergie der Organe unter der Direktion der Lebenskraft enthält im Krankheitsfalle das ärztliche Problem die nützlichen Bewegungen der Naturheilkraft von den eigentlichen Krankheitsbewegungen zu unterscheiden. Der Arzt muß vor allem die Bewegungen erkennen die auf einen nützlichen Zweck abzielen. Theoretische Fragen werden aus dieser Sicht kurzerhand beiseite geschoben und in der für STAHL typischen Art das Leib-Seele-Problem zu einem biologischen Postulat'gemacht : "Es handelt sich nicht um eine Annahme sondern wir beweisen a priori mit der Vernunft daß im Menschen von einer einzigen Seele alle diese Akte und Bewegungen vollzogen werden können. Erfahrung und Vernunft zeigen a posteriori daß diese Zusammenhänge zwischen Leib und Seele in der Tat vorliegen." In diesem Problem sieht STAHL den Inhalt seiner Lebensarbeit: "Darauf werfe ich mich mit ganzer Seele. Dem gilt meine ganze Arbeit. Weder Mühe noch Neid können mich dabei verdrießlich machen. Ich hoffe vielmehr mit dem Problem in würdiger Weise fertig zu werden. Möge die Medizin dann wieder auf ihr rechtes Fundament gestellt sein"!" Diese beiden Texte "vermitteln so ein interessantes Bild der ärztlichen Persönlichkeit STAHLS ihres Temperamentes und ihrer Suche nach den biologischen und psychologischen Gesetzen einer wirksamen Therapie. Er gibt sich mit der Vorstellung einer nur mechanistischen Arzneiwirkung nicht zufrieden. Er nennt die besondere "Chronometrie" biologischer Abläufe das Gesetz der Ganzheit den Begriff des allen Einzelerscheinungen übergeordneten Organismus den Einfluß seelischer Erregungen auf die Vitalbewegungen desselben. Die psychophysische Wechselwirkung wird dem Arzt als praktisch wichtiges Problem gestellt. Jedenfalls hat STAHL bereits im Jahre 1695 alle wesentlichen Gedanken seines medizinischen Systems dargelegt. Die Ansicht er habe erst durch CHRISTIAN WOLF gewichtige Anregungen erhalten ist nicht mehr haltbar. Bereits 12 Jahre vor dem Erscheinen seiner "Theoria medica vera" hat die Forschungsrichtung STAHLS ihr wesentliches Ziel gehabt. Wenn man die Geschichte der medizinischen Psychologie überdenkt so wird man GEORG ERNST STAHL auf Grund der Einsichten in die ärztliche Bedeutung des Psychischen wie schon KORNFELD mit Recht ausgeführt hat an den Anfang einer Erschließung dieses Fachgebietes stellen dürfen. Die Leitsätze am Schluß der "Disputatio" enthalten das historische Fundament dieser neuen erst in unserer Zeit zur Anerkennung gekommenen Wissenschaft." B.J.

Despite this Böhme had a profound influence on later philosophical movements such as German Idealism and German Romanticism with Hegel describing him as "the first German philosopher". Böhme was born in Alt Seidenberg now in present-day Poland. Deemed too weak for husbandry Böhme was sent to Seidenberg as an apprentice to become a shoemaker. While he lived with a family who was not Christian Böhme regularly prayed and read the Bible and consumed the works of visionaries such as Paracelsus Weigel and Schwenckfeld. After leaving his apprenticeship Böhme travelled as far as Görlitz before returning as a master craftsman to set up his own workshop and started a family. Böhme later joined the "Conventicle of God's Real Servants" - a parochial study group organized by poet and mystic Martin Moller. Since his youth Böhme often had spiritual experiences including one that occurred while he was travelling for business where as he later recalled was "surrounded with a divine light and stood in the highest contemplation and kingdom of joys." This title The Signature of All Things written in High Dutch in 1622 following a series of Böhme's mystic experiences appears here in the first English edition. In it Böhme explains systematically the cosmology that lies at the heart of his whole mystical approach and experience revealing his mystical pantheism and his dialectical conception of God in which good and evil are rooted in one and the same being. The book is a highly symbolic work that deals with the nature of God creation and the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds. In brief Böhme's thesis can be summarised thus: everything in the material world bears the imprint or "signature" of its spiritual counterpart and that by understanding these signatures one can gain insight into the divine. The present work is the title for which Böhme is most famous and it is invoked by James Joyce in the Proteus episode in Ulysses "Ineluctable modality of the visible." Bohme's ideas had a significant influence on later mystics philosophers and theologians including Goethe Nietzsche and Jung. Signatura Rerum remains a classic work of Christian mysticism and esoteric philosophy and is still studied and debated by scholars and practitioners today.<br/> <br/> Wing B3419; Bach "Jacob Boehme" in Protestants and Mysticism in Reformation Europe; Hartman The Life and the Doctrines of Jacob Boehme the God-Taught Philosopher.

Leibniz' 2 papers on the catenary curve paper 1-2 offered here was written at the instigation of Jacques Bernoulli. Following the example of Blaise Pascal who had initiated in 1658 a contest for the construction of the cycloid Leibniz also provoked the geometers of his time by challenging them to submit at the fixed date of mid-1691 their geometric method for the construction of the catenary curve. Leibniz later provided the answer followed by Johann Bernoulli and Huygens.'These two papers are a historical account of the origin of the study of this transcendental curve and at the same time the first physical-geometric construction showing the species-relationship between the catenary and the logarithmic curves as two companion curves; one arithmetic the other geometric. All of the differentials of the catenary curve are arithmetic means of corresponding differentials of the logarithmic curve; and all of the differentials of the logarithmic curve are geometric means of the catenary.'"The Catenary is the form of a hanging fully flexible rope or chain the name comes from "catena" which means 'chain' suspended on two points. The interest in this curve originated with Galileo who thought that is was a parabola. Young Christiaan Huygens proved in 1646 that this cannot be the case. What the actual form was remained an open question till 1691 when Leibniz Johann Bernoulli and the then much older Huygens sent solutions to the problem to the "Acta" Jakob Bernoulli 1690 Johann Bernoulli 1691 Huygens 1691 and Leibniz 1691 - these 4 1691-papers offered here - in which the previous year Jakob Bernoulli had challenged mathematicians to solve it. As published the solutions did not reveal the methods but through later publications of manuscripts these methods have been known. Huygens applied with great paper 4 virtuosity the by then classical methods of 17th century infinitesimal mathematics and he needed all his ingenuity to reach a satisfactory solution. Leibniz the papers 1-2 and Bernoulli paper 3 applying the new Calculus found the solutions in a much direct way. In fact the catenary was a test-case between the old and the new style in the study of curves and only because the champion of the old style was a giant like Huygens the test-case can formally be considered as ending in a draw." Grattan-Guiness in "From the Calculus to Set Theory 1630-1910.".The paper by JACOB BERNOULLI no. 5 offered here is a milestone papers as it marks the invention of the "SYSTEM OF POLAR COORDINATES" with points located by reference to a fixed point and a line through that point. Although newton had earlier also devised such a coordinate system in 1671 his work was not known so that the credit for the discovery generally goes to Bernoulli.
