Collection of Francis Howard Forbes (1881-1957), professor of Greek language and literature at Amherst College (his round pictorial bookplate of Attic-style scribes on front pastedown). This particular copy was cared for by Oxford institutions for a good part of its history, then crossed into a New England personal library of a classical scholar sometime in the early 20th century. This is the self-contained volume from the 1584-1587 collected edition of the works of Aristotle in Greek and the Metaphysica of Theophrastus. Friedrich Sylburg (1536-1596) was a German classical scholar who made important contributions to several popular Greek texts of the later sixteenth century, like Estienne's Greek Thesaurus. In 1583, Sylburg resigned from an educational post he held at Lich and moved to Frankfurt to work as leading active editor for the enterprising Wechel publishers. The humanist printers flourished in three distinct cities; Paris, Frankfurt, and Hanau. Andreas Wechel settled the firm in Frankfurt and distinguished it mainly by publishing neo-Latin literature, classical philology, and works by Ramus and his followers. The relationship between Sylburg and the Wechel printers was a seamless match; this 1585 edition of Aristotle was praised for its great critical power and finesse. It is widely regarded as the authoritative edition of its kind. Sound example of a sixteenth century published work on Aristotelian principles born from the inventive relationship between scholar and press.Fabricius-Harles III, 444; Hoffmann I, 275 and 289.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 8vo (157 x 106mm). [8], 307pp., [13] leaves, including final blank. Woodcut printer's device of Scotus with personification of globe and motto "FIAT PAX IN VIRTUTE" (Peace be with thee). Latin translation by Theodore Gaza. 12-line woodcut historiated initials at beginning of first chapter and at beginning of the Universalis generationis partitio. (p. 224) of heraldry. Few woodcut initials throughout. Contemporary vellum; (worn; spine and covers darkened; scattered stains, worming affecting title, next leaf, and last 3 leaves; edges stained brown and gauffered to floral pattern). Sound copy enhanced by Latin marginalia in an contemporary hand. The Renaissance public, as a part of their reading system, frequently engaged Aristotle's natural writings. Even at the height of this period, at a time when Theodore Gaza had already produced his celebrated versions of Aristotle's zoological corpus, these works obtained wide recognition. Aristotle's zoological works, edited by Theodore Gaza, with Italian Renaissance commentary sparked on by the availability of Gaza's text. Gaza's version of the treatises, were paraphrases of Aristotle's zoological works but also included personal observations and information drawn from the other authors. Gaza, in fact, held a virtual monopoly on the biological works of Aristotle, his translation completely overshadowing those before him and especially of his rival George of Trebizond. Gaza's text had been used mainly as a source of quotations and only in philological and medical works, such as Castigationes plinianae by Ermolao Barbaro or Benedetti's Historia corporis humani. By 1521, starting with a course on the De Partibus animalium, held in Bologna, did the official Renaissance tradition of interpretation on Aristotle's zoology take form. The Latin text, which contributed to this renewed interest, was none other than the elegant translation by Gaza. University Aristotelianism, specifically that concerning the zoology, was approached by the various interpreters in the context of systematic exploration of the encyclopedic work as a whole. The ample annotations of this volume showcase precisely this type of interaction with the evolving conversation. Gaza's work throws light on Renaissance Aristotelianism carried out through the grid of scholastic commentary.…
