First edition; this is the first of only two books known to have been printed by Georg Schenck and the author's only book. "In 1502 there was printed at Nürnberg a defense of astrology by Jakob Schonheintz a doctor of arts and medicine and a Franconian. He signs his preface at Würzburg. The immediate occasion of this defense was 'the impudence of a certain man who wishes himself to be considered a theologian although he is anything else than one who had attacked astrology and its professors. Pity for the unlearned who may take his attack seriously has moved Schonheintz to reply. He furthermore regards this preliminary skirmish as a preparation for a future encounter 'not with a cursed scribbler but with the most learned and most eloquent Giovanni Pico Mirandola most generous count of Concordia.' Schonheintz proceeds to say that no one has attacked astrology more bravely no one more learnedly no one with greater force and contention than Pico has."-Thorndike IV pp. 542-43.

Inscribed by Schleiden to William Francis on the front wrapper.</p> <p>A collection of four extremely rare offprints on botanical science by Schleiden whose landmark 1838 paper "Beiträge zur Phytogenesis" marks the beginning of cell theory and plant cytology. The first offprint is on the development of organs in phanerogams plants with seeds; "his theory of the flower and fruit is an admirable performance for the time even though we abandon his view of the stalk nature of placentas and some other notions as we obviously must. As Robert Brown founded the history of the development of the ovule so Schleiden founded that of the flower and his example influenced other botanists" Von Sachs History of Botany 1530-1860. Schleiden presented these offprints to British chemist Dr. William Francis who in 1852 joined with publisher Richard Taylor to found the firm of Taylor and Francis. unknown books
