Frontispiece title-page LI 1 -errata 440 pp. Magnificent copy. <br/><br/><em>First edition thus being the seminal second edition the "neue vermehrte Auflage" new and expanded edition which has the hugely important 180 pp. of "Beylage" for the first time which include the first translation into any language of any part of Giordano Bruno's "de Uno et Causa." pp. 261-306 as well as several other pieces of great importance to the "Pantheismusstreit" and to the interpretation of the philosophy of Spinoza and Leibniz here for the first time in print. The present translation of Bruno seems to be the earliest translation of any of Bruno's works into German and one of the earliest translations of Bruno at all - as far as we can establish the second only preceded by an 18th century translation into English of "Spaccio della bestia trionfante". It is with the present edition of Jacobi's work that the interest in Bruno is founded and with which Bruno is properly introduced to the modern world. Jacobi not only provides what is supposedly the second earliest translation of any of Bruno's works ever to appear he also establishes the great influence that Bruno had on two of our greatest thinkers Spinoza and Leibnitz. It is now generally accepted that Spinoza founds his ethical thought upon Bruno and that Lebnitz has taken his concept of the "Monads" from him. It is Jacobi who with the second edition of his "Letters on Spinoza." for the first time ever puts Bruno where he belongs and establishes his position as one of the key figures of modern philosophy and thought. Bruno's works the first editions of which are all of the utmost scarcity were not reprinted in their time and new editions of them did not begin appearing until the 19th century. For three centuries his works had been hidden away in libraries where only few people had access to them. Thus as important as his teachings were thinkers of the ages to come were largely reliant on more or less reliable renderings and reproductions of his thoughts. As Jacobi states in the preface to the second edition of his "Letters on Spinoza." "There appears in this new edition under the title of Appendices "Beylage" different essays of which I will here first give an account. The first Appendix is an excerpt from the extremely rare book "De la causa principio et Uno" by Jordan Bruno. This strange man was born one knows not in which year in Nola in the Kingdom of Naples; and died on February 17th 1600 in Rome on the stake. With great diligence Brucker has been gathering information on him but in spite of that has only been able to deliver fragments not in translation. For a long time his works were partly neglected due to their obscurity partly not respected due to the prejudice against the new opinions and thoughts expressed in them and partly loathed and suppressed due to the dangerous teachings they could contain. On these grounds the current scarcity of his works is easily understood. Brucker could only get to see the work "De Minimo" La Croce only had the book "De Immenso et Innumerabilibus" in front of him or at least he only provides excerpts from this also not in translation as Heumann does only from the "Physical Theorems" also small fragments not in translation; also Bayle had of Bruno's metaphysical works himself also merely read this work of which I here provide an excerpt." Vorrede pp. VII-VIII - own translation from the German. Jacobi continues by stating that although everyone complains about the obscurity of Bruno's teachings and thoughts some of the greatest thinkers such as Gassendi Descartes "and our own Leibnitz" p. IX have taken important parts of their theorems and teachings from him. "I will not discuss this further and will merely state as to the great obscurity "grossen Dunkelheit" of which people accuse Bruno that I have found this in neither his book "de la Causa" nor in "De l'Infinito Universo et Mondi" of which I will speak implicitly on another occasion. As to the first book my readers will be able to judge for themselves from the sample "Probe" that I here present. My excerpt can have become a bit more comprehensible due to the fact that I have only presented the System of Bruno himself the "Philosophia Nolana" which he himself calls it in its continuity. My main purpose with this excerpt is by uniting Bruno with Spinoza at the same time to show and explain the "Summa of Philosophy" "Summa der Philosophie" of "En kai Pan" in Greek characters - meaning "One and All". . It is very difficult to outline "Pantheism" in its broader sense more purely and more beautifully than Bruno has done." Vorrede pp. IX-XI - own translation from the German. So not only does Jacobi here provide this groundbreaking piece of Bruno's philosophy in the first translation ever and not only does he provide one of the most important interpretations of Spinoza's philosophy and establishes the importance of Bruno to much of modern thought he also presents Bruno as the primary exponent of "pantheism" thereby using Bruno to change the trajectory of modern thought and influencing all philosophy of the decades to come. After the second edition of Jacobi's "Ueber die Lehre des Spinoza" no self-respecting thinker could neglect the teachings of Bruno; he could no longer be written off as having "obscure" and insignificant teachings and one could no longer read Spinoza nor Leibnitz without thinking of Bruno. It is with this edition that the world rediscovers Bruno never to forget him again.WITH THE FIRST EDITION OF "UEBER DIE LEHRE DES SPINOZA" 1785 JACOBI BEGINS THE FAMOUS "PATHEISMUSSTREIT" which focused attention on the apparent conflict between human freedom and any systematic philosophical interpretation of reality. In 1780 Jacobi 1743-1819 famous for coining the term nihilism advocating "belief" and "revelation" instead of speculative reason thereby anticipating much of present-day literature and for his critique of the Sturm-und-Drang-era had a conversation with Lessing in which Lessing stated that the only true philosophy was Spinozism. This led Jacobi to a protracted and serious study of Spinoza's works. After Lessing's death in 1783 Jacobi began a lengthy letter-correspondende with Mendelssohn a close friend of Lessing on the philosophy of Spinoza. These letters with commentaries by Jacobi are what constitute the first edition of "Ueber die lehre des Spinoza" as well as the first part of the second edition. The second edition is of much greater importance however due to greatly influential Appendices. The work caused great furor and the enmity of the Enlightenment thinkers. Jacobi was ridiculed by his contemporaries for attempting to reintroduce into philosophy belief instead of reason was seen as an enemy of reason and Enlightenment as a pietist and as a Jesuit. But the publication of the work not only caused great furor in wider philosophical circles there was also a personal side to the scandal which has made it one of the most debated books of the period: "Mendelssohn enjoyed as noted at the outset a lifelong friendship with G. E. Lessing. Along with Mendelssohn Lessing embraced the idea of a purely rational religion and would endorse Mendelssohn's declaration: "My religion recognizes no obligation to resolve doubt other than through rational means; and it commands no mere faith in eternal truths" Gesammelte Schriften Volume 3/2 p. 205. To pietists of the day such declarations were scandalous subterfuges of an Enlightenment project of assimilating religion to natural reason. While Mendelssohn skillfully avoided that confrontation he found himself reluctantly unable to remain silent when after Lessing's death F. H. Jacobi contended that Lessing embraced Spinoza's pantheism and thus exemplified the Enlightenment's supposedly inevitable descent into irreligion.Following private correspondence with Jacobi on the issue and an extended period when Jacobi in personal straits at the time did not respond to his objections Mendelssohn attempted to set the record straight about Lessing's Spinozism in "Morning Hours". Learning of Mendelssohn's plans incensed Jacobi who expected to be consulted first and who accordingly responded by publishing without Mendelssohn's consent their correspondence - "On the Teaching of Spinoza in Letters to Mr. Moses Mendelssohn" - a month before the publication of "Morning Hours". Distressed on personal as well as intellectual levels by the controversy over his departed friend's pantheism Mendelssohn countered with a hastily composed piece "To the Friends of Lessing: an Appendix to Mr. Jacobi's Correspondence on the Teaching of Spinoza". According to legend so anxious was Mendelssohn to get the manuscript to the publisher that forgetting his overcoat on a bitterly cold New Year's eve he delivered the manuscript on foot to the publisher. That night he came down with a cold from which he died four days later prompting his friends to charge Jacobi with responsibility for Mendelssohn's death.The sensationalist character of the controversy should not obscure the substance and importance of Mendelssohn's debate with Jacobi. Jacobi had contended that Spinozism is the only consistent position for a metaphysics based upon reason alone and that the only solution to this metaphysics so detrimental to religion and morality is a leap of faith that salto mortale that poor Lessing famously refused to make. Mendelssohn counters Jacobi's first contention by attempting to demonstrate the metaphysical inconsistency of Spinozism. He takes aim at Jacobi's second contention by demonstrating how the "purified Spinozism" or "refined pantheism" embraced by Lessing is in the end only nominally different from theism and thus a threat neither to religion nor to morality."

45880Title from artist's caption. London : Albert Mendelssohn 1874. Albumen print photograph of a satirical cartoon artist's monogram W.R. in the image carte de visite format 103 x 63 mm mount recto with the artist's printed caption to lower margin; verso with wet stamp of 'Albert Mendelssohn Publisher London'; in fine condition. The case of the Tichborne claimant produced two of the most celebrated British trials of the nineteenth century. In 1865 the false claimant in the case an impostor called Arthur Orton who was living in Wagga Wagga under the name Tom Castro claimed that he was in fact the English aristocrat Sir Roger Tichborne who had supposedly been lost at sea some ten years earlier. Although the massive inheritance had passed in the meantime to Sir Roger's younger brother and nephew Sir Roger's mother the Dowager Lady Tichborne refused to believe that her elder son was dead. It was in response to Lady Tichborne's persistent enquiries for confirmation that her son might still be alive that Orton made his claim to the Tichborne baronetcy through a lawyer. In spite of the fact that he bore little resemblance to Sir Roger and could not speak a word of French whereas Sir Roger was fluent Lady Tichborne paid for his passage back to England in order to be reunited with him. Bizarrely she accepted him as her son as did several of Tichborne's old acquaintances. Orton was duly given an annual allowance of £1000. However following Lady Tichborne's death in 1868 a group of family members and friends of Sir Roger began to seriously challenge the claimant's identity. It was discovered that his real name was Arthur Orton and that he was a butcher's son from Wapping. In 1871 after a 102 day trial to determine his true identity Orton was charged with perjury and in 1874 after another marathon 188 day trial he was found guilty of this charge and sentenced to 14 years' hard labour. In his penurious final years he gave a full written confession which he strangely later retracted before his death in 1898. This commercial carte de visite-format satirical cartoon was produced for an eager and fascinated public at the end of the second trial by the London publisher Albert Mendelssohn. It appears much scarcer than other cartoons in the same format that were published by Mendelssohn at different stages of the Tichborne Affair: Trove locates no examples of ""Twenty Years After"" in Australian libraries. unknown
