In two parts separately titled and paginated Lof-Sang op het geestelyk houwelyk van godes soone Laudatory Song on the Spiritual Marriage of the Son of God. 44 544pp. 120pp. 5. Added engraved title page Proef steen van den trou-ringh in addition to the letterpress title to the first work two engraved full-page portraits one of prolific artist and poet Anna Maria van Schurman and one of Jacob Cats and a full-page allegorical engraving Het Derde Deel facing p. 249 in addition to 51 half-page engravings in the text depicting scenes of domestic and married life. Engraved printers device depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Near contemporary vellum ms. title to spine somewhat effaced; some slight thumbsoiling lightly toned with age; corners bumped. <br/><br/>This 1671 edition based on the imprint of Trou-Ringh by Jacob Cats was first published in Dordrecht in 1637. Cats a Dutch Golden Age poet and politician wrote these rhymed dissertations on marriage and fidelity using very different marriage cases from literature in which conjugal ethics emerged. Cats method was to treat human behavior and society in all its aspects through the lens of marriage both human and spiritual ie. the marriage of Christ and His Church. He takes examples from the Bible Adam and Eve David and Abigail etc. and from classical and modern authors Cyrus and Aspasia Marc Anthony and Cleopatra etc. Cats tells of marriages to patriarchs ancient and modern; cases from Israel Persia Egypt from the life of Charles the Great and of the Great Mogul and Spanish gypsies. Also included are discussions of marriage after rape the breaking of marriage bonds adultery and the like. Because marriage dominated all periods and regions of the world all classes all ages with a variety of feelings and soul states this work resonated with the reader although Cats unusual storytelling intended moral and religious teachings. He propagated that marriage with its many possibilities and moral demands which it always must fulfill totally belong together: as do the ring and the stone. Cats was a distinguished Dutch writer but his Orangist and Calvinistic opinions set him apart from the liberal school of Amsterdam poets. Still for nearly two centuries he enjoyed enormous popularity. Wonderfully preserved important work on 17th century societal structures the many engravings are delightful and captivating.

1695419751695. Halae Magdeb. Literis Christiani Henckelii 1695 Kl.4° 16 6 pp. orig. Broschur. Erste Ausgabe zweiter Abdruck! 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.

1678733Ingolstodt: Joannis Philippi Zink 1678. Hardcover. Fair. Three poetical works of early 17th century Jesuit poets bound into one binding with beautiful silver decorations covering the front and rear board. About the Literary Works - Three works are bound within: 1. 1672 De Cultu B. V. Mariae Elegiarum in three books not ""book three"" as it is often catalogued; all three ""libri"" are found within the printing by Antoine Deslions. 2. No title page bound in starts at A1 page 1 - Epigrammatum Selectrorum by Bernard Bauhuis 3. 1672 Silvulae Hendecasyllarborum by Jacob Bidermann About the Binding - No maker's mark is readily visible. The book was published in Ingolstadt where the silversmith family of Kienlin see book bindings attributed to Johann Adam Kienlin plied their trade. It was common for bindings of this time to have a silver spine but I see no hinges which indicate one might have been removed and the leather of the spine was decorated. Still a silver spine may have been removed and the board edges cut of their hinges. but removing the hinges seems unlikely. This book was sold in the 1924 Sotheby Sale of the Library of Dr. E Marion Cox. Bibliographic Details - All three works are printed by Joannis Philippi Zinck in Ingelstadt. The first and third work have a printing date of 1672; presumptively the middle work would also have been printed in 1672 the title page is not bound-in but Worldcat doesn't have record of a 1672 edition. The Deslions work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 836616102 among others. The Bauhuis work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 1088278417 with a printing date of 1678. The Bidermann work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 78071635 among others. Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 13 x 8 x 3 cm. Leather binding with blind tooling. Over the front and rear board silver covers have been added; these are likely repousse hammered from the back side and are decorated in the French rococo style each with a proud central medallion. The front medallion is a woman holding a goblet and books the rear medallion is a woman holding her baby and guiding her child. The covers have been turned-in just like a leather binding. The silver clasps work and one clasp depicts a putti holding a spade and the other a lute. The endpapers are dutch-gilt the front one is missing the flyleaf and the rear endpaper shows a wonderful depiction of a lute player in gilt. Three works bound into one binding. The second work is missing its title page and any prefatory printed material it begins at page 1 signed A1. Pages - vi 106 128 title page vi 128 The third work seems like it might not have had a leaf bound-in; the first gathering is fifteen leaves instead of 16 but the catchwords match and nothing seems missing so it was likely a blank the binder chose not to include. Condition - See pictures. Silver tarnished with some bumps around the edges. Leather binding under is dried out. The spine is crazed and chipped from the head and tail; there is evidence of glue repair along the front and rear leather joint. There is a little rubbing noticeable on the leather under the silver covering the boards. Front flyleaf missing. Blank bookbinder endpaper mounted instead; some numbers written on it and the remnants of an auction ticket presumably. Text block has some toning throughout with occasional fox spots page edge bumps etc. A few pages seem slightly proud. The index at the back of the Deslions work insn't included. Also the title page and any intros are not bound in for the Bauhuis it starts on page 1. I see a very occasional annotation. Blank endpaper at rear has notes on which poems apply to different life situations. Rear flyleaf has a white mark at bottom and the fore-edge is a little rough; also several small holes which may be from binding. Joannis Philippi Zink

A substantial seventeenth-century antiquarian survey: medals bas-reliefs statues mosaics inscriptions and other remains of the ancient world treated in a long sequence of learned dissertations and enriched throughout with engraved material. One of the more attractive productions of early French antiquarian scholarship poised between cabinet culture and the beginnings of archaeology. By Monsieur Spon Jacob Spon Author Bio: Jacob Spon 16471685 was the Lyonnais physician scholar traveller and antiquary whose publications helped shape the early modern study of classical remains. Best known today for his travels in Italy Greece and the Levant Spon brought together the habits of the collector philologist and observer of monuments producing works that stand close to the emergence of archaeology as a more systematic discipline. His antiquarian books were widely consulted by later scholars especially for inscriptions medals and the interpretation of ancient objects preserved in cabinets and collections. Synopsis: This is the first edition of Spons important illustrated antiquarian work a wide-ranging gathering of dissertations on ancient material culture. The book moves across medals sculpture mosaic pavements inscriptions funerary monuments architectural ornaments ritual objects and related survivals of classical antiquity combining close visual attention with learned comparison from texts and collections. As with the best seventeenth-century antiquarian books it is both a record of objects and a demonstration of method: a cabinet of evidence arranged for the curious and the learned reader alike.
