1682PW1341London:: Printed by M. Flesher for Thomas Fickus 1682. 1682. 8vo. 54 166 pp. Original calf boards rebacked with calf new endleaves; small tear to lower corner of p. 165 far from text block. Signed by Alfred Keene 1839. First English edition. This is one of the first books Norris published. "Norris John 1657–1712 Church of England clergyman and philosopher was born on 2 January 1657 at Collingbourne Kingston Wiltshire the third surviving child of John Norris bap. 1614 d. 1682 and his wife Elizabeth d. 1696. His father was vicar of Collingbourne Kingston under the Commonwealth and he moved to the living of Aldbourne Wiltshire in 1660. Norris was educated at Winchester College and entered Exeter College Oxford in 1676. A keen student at both Winchester and Oxford he early abandoned his inherited Calvinism and concentrated his reading on Platonist authors. On graduating BA in 1680 he was appointed a fellow of All Souls by Archbishop Sancroft on the recommendation of Thomas Jeames the warden during a dispute with the fellows over the filling of the vacancies in the college. Norris always retained a great esteem for All Souls and the college in turn erected a bust of h His early writings show him to have been at that time a strong tory and high-churchman but also show that he deliberately turned aside from political involvement. All the writings that he considered to be worth preserving were included in A Collection of Miscellanies which appeared in 1687. im in the Codrington Library when this was built in the following century. . . . Norris's writings have tended to be neglected by historians of philosophy partly perhaps because of Locke's dismissive attitude and partly because many of his theories are so close to those of Malebranche that it is difficult to disentangle their influence. He has been better treated by historians of literature who see his poetry much of which continues to be republished as marking especially clearly the transition from the spirit of the Renaissance to that of modern times. Much of Norris's poetry which has its roots in the metaphysical tradition is somewhat laboured. At his best however he has a lyrical spirit . . . In private life Norris seems to have been a kindly person a devoted parish clergyman and the friend and supporter of several of the learned ladies of his time. In the history of English thought he is a transitional figure. In contrast to the Cambridge Platonists he adopted wholeheartedly the Cartesian dualism of mind and matter. His theory of knowledge was a Cartesian Platonism similar to that of Malebranche to whose more developed theories he was at times too inclined to defer. In the history of English philosophy religion and literature he deserves to be remembered." – DNB. Lowndes The Bibliographer's Manual of English Literature vol. 3 p. 928. See: W. J.

15836293Lutetiae Paris E Typographia Steph. Prevosteau . 1583-85. Two works bound in one volume: 12mo pp. xxiv 347 i. 12mo pp. ii 11 xi 90. Old ink-burn D11-E9 in the first work ie pp. 93-114 particularly noticeable E3-E6. Second work lacks two of the final leaves of text. Text concludes with the errata on verso of H1; H2 and H3 have been extracted; H4 blank as called for by Adams is present. Greek and Latin text. Contemporary limp vellum. Two early ownership inscriptions on title. The clearer of the two reads Ex libris Ioa. Maussaci in an early seventeenth century hand possibly Philippe Jacques de Maussac 1590-1650 president in Montpellier and a Greek scholar he edited Harpocration in 1614 cf. Sandys II p. 287. First edition of the commentary on the Golden Verses of Pythagorus by the fifth-century Neoplatonist Hierocles discovered in the library of François de la Rochefoucauld-Randan and edited and translated by Curterius; bound here with the first edition of Théodore Marcile's Latin translation. Both works were printed by Stephan Prevosteau - he is credited in the colophon of the first work and a variant title page carries his imprint Adams P2312 rather than Nivelles - and pairings of the works are not unknown. The example in the recently dispersed Macclesfield library lot 2711 in part 8 October 2006 was similarly bound in limp vellum and issuing them together may have been Prevosteaus own recommendation to his clients.Adams P2313 & P2314; Brunet III 154-155; Sandys II 105.

First Edition printed in a German-speaking country correcting the Aldine edition of 1514. The Lexicon suffered substantial alterations including abridgements and additions on its way from the author to the only surviving manuscript of the fifteenth century. This production gives all-important information about the manuscript and the work of earlier scholars. Hesychius of Alexandria lived in the fifth century A.D. and compiled this dictionary of unusual or difficult Greek words with explanations in Greek. Approximately 51000 entries make it the richest surviving Greek lexicon compiled until the invention of printing. Hesychius Lexicon is of great importance to Ancient Greek studies because it contains countless words and expressions from poetry administration medicine and so on that are otherwise unknown or insufficiently explained.
