Handsome first edition of Philemon Holland's renowned English translation 'Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of wisdom is Pliny.' (PMM 5) A handsome first edition, first issue of Philemon Holland's renowned English translation of Pliny's Natural History. The most popular of Holland's translations, it had never before been printed in English, and would not be attempted again for another 250 years. One of the greatest translators of the Elizabethan age, Holland's Pliny was an important source for Shakespeare. 'In Othello's allusion to the Pontic Sea, Shakespeare was clearly drawing upon Pliny's Historie as translated by Holland⦠Similarly Pliny has also been cited as a source for Othello's reference to the "medicinal gum" of "the Arabian trees"' (Payne, Search for Meaning, 63), and many trace Caliban in The Tempest to Holland's Pliny. 'The importance of Pliny lay not so much that he was an inexhaustible source for monsters, eclipses, and the stranger habits of all created things, but that in the pages of Philemon Holland's translation Shakespeare found that emphasis on Nature which he employed and re-interpreted in the tragedy' (Evans, The Language of Shakespeare's Plays).

Aggiungi al carrello2 parts in one volume. Pliny's renowned Natural History in its second publication in English (repeating, with corrections, the 1601 first publication), translated by Philemon Holland, the greatest translator of the Elizabethan age. The "Naturalis Historia" is one of the largest single works to have survived from the Roman empire… to the modern day and purports to cover the entire field of ancient knowledge, based on the best authorities available to the author. Pliny claims to be the only Roman ever to have undertaken such a work. It comprised 37 books in 10 volumes and covered over 20,000 facts on topics including the fields of botany, zoology, astronomy , geology and mineralogy as well as the exploitation of those resources. It remains a standard work for the Roman period and the advances in technology and understanding of natural phenomena at the time. Some technical advances he discusses are the only sources for those inventions, such as hushing in mining technology or the use of water mills for crushing or grinding corn. Much of what he wrote about has been confirmed by archaeology. ''We know from Pliny that there were important pearl fisheries in the Gulf [.] Pliny identifies Tylos (Bahrain) as a place famous for its pearls [. He] attests that pearls were the most highly rated valuable in Roman society, and that those from the Gulf were specially praised [.] The pearl related finds at the site of El-Dur indicate the site was integrated into the maritime trade routes linking the Roman Empire, the Persian Empire, India and South Arabia'' (Carter). Book 6 holds a chapter that gives the first detailed account of the regions around the Gulf, including what are now Qatar, the Emirates and Oman. Binding rubbed; front hinge splitting. Includes the final printed leaf in vol. 2, containing the publisher's advertisement to the reader that all errors have been corrected in the present edition and the errata leaf (included in the same position in 1601) has become unnecessary rather than having been mistakenly omitted. Some slight browning and brownstaining, but an excellent copy removed in 1973 from the Royal Meteorological Society (Symons Bequest, 1900) with their bookplate on the front pastedown.l STC 20030. Cf. Pforzheimer 496 (1601 ed.). Contemporary calf, spine in six compartments, tooled and lettered in gilt. Elaborate woodcut device on title-page; woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces.

Aggiungi al carrelloFolio. 268 ff. Contemporary vellum with ms. title to spine. Fine incunabular edition of Pliny's famous encylopedic work, covering the entire field of ancient knowledge. With his "Natural History", Pliny gives a mathematical and physical description of the world, discusses geography, ethnography, anthropology, human physiology, z…oology, botany, mineralogy, sculpture and painting. As "a purveyor of information both scientific and nonscientific, Pliny holds a place of exceptional importance in the tradition and diffusion of culture" (DSB). Through the present work Pliny "gives us by far the most detailed account of the coast of the United Arab Emirates that has come down to us. Chapter 32 of Book 6 (§ 149-152), beginning near the Qatar peninsula, proceeds to describe the Emirates islands, tribes, and coast right up to the Musandam peninsula, before continuing on south along the coast of Oman. As such, it is a mine of invaluable information on the UAE in the late pre-Islamic era" (UAE History, online). Pliny "completed his 'Natural History' in 77 AD and, to judge from his account of the peoples and places of south-eastern Arabia [.], the area of the UAE was full of settlements, tribes, and physical features, the names of which he recorded for posterity" (Ghareeb/Al Abed 54). - "This appears to be the first edition of Barbarus' recension, the note of a 1496 edition by the same printer being probably due to a confusion (Hain 13099)" (BMC). Dated 1497 in the colophon, but the dedication is dated the Ides of February in the twelfth year of the Doge Augustinus Barbadicus (30 Aug. 1497 to 29 Aug. 1498). - Numerous contemporary marginalia.

Aggiungi al carrelloBeautifully rubricated 1483 edition of Pliny's encyclopaedia of all knowledge in the ancient world (PMM), edited by the Italian humanist Philippus Beroaldus (1453-1505). Divided into 37 books, the text is one of the largest works to survive from the Roman Empire, encompassing botany, zoology, astronomy, geology, geography, miner…alogy, and art. First published in Venice in 1469 by Johannes de Spira, it marked the first appearance in print of any scientific text. The present work is the 11th edition overall, and the first and only by Reynaldus de Noviomago (dates unknown), originally from Nijmegen in the Netherlands.The Historia Naturalis aims to cover the full scope of ancient knowledge, drawing on the most authoritative sources available to Pliny. It remains a key reference for understanding Roman science, technology, and natural phenomena. The work preserves unique accounts of technical innovations such as mining techniques and the use of water mills for grinding, and many of its observations have been confirmed by archaeology. Pliny also provides rare descriptions of contemporary artists, making the work an invaluable source for art history. As the Dictionary of Scientific Biography notes, Pliny "holds a place of exceptional importance in the tradition and diffusion of Western culture."Widely read and highly influential in the 15th century, Historia Naturalis saw 18 early printed editions from 1469 to 1500, all produced in Italy. Despite occasional inaccuracies or lapses in citing sources, Pliny's compilation of "facts" is unique for its breadth and ambition. By quoting numerous classical authorities and including all material uncritically, he provides a comprehensive overview of ancient knowledge. Even the errors in his work offer modern scholars insight into both the understanding and misunderstanding of the natural world in antiquity.Gaius Plinius Secundus (23/24-79 CE), better known as Pliny the Elder, was a Roman author, naturalist, and natural philosopher, as well as a commander in the Roman army and navy and a friend of the emperor Vespasian. Devoting much of his life to observation, study, and travel, he produced this encyclopaedic work, which became a model for all subsequent encyclopaedias in its scope, meticulous referencing of sources, and detailed indexing, leaving a lasting legacy for the study of natural history in both the Renaissance and beyond.With a shelfmark(?) label mounted on the front pastedown, several 16th-century annotations in the text. The outer layer of the sheepskin has been rubbed off, leaving the suede layer, the work has been rebacked, with the original spine laid down. The first and last few leaves are slightly soiled, water stains in the margins of some of the leaves, sometimes slightly affecting the text, lacking the first blank leaf. Otherwise in good condition.l Goff P794; GW M34329; Hain-Copinger 13095; IDL 3731; ISTC ip00794000; Klebs 786.9; Oates 1783 (lacks first blank); Proctor 4445; cf. DSB 11, pp. 38-40; E. Ghareeb & I.

First edition in English of Pliny's important encyclopedic work, which was, for centuries, considered the highest authority on subjects relating to the natural and physical world, including botany, zoology, geography, pharmacology, and more.…Lowndes referred to this translation as a "work of immense labour, and what few men of his time could have executed in a superior manner to Dr. Holland." Near contemporary half brown calf over marbled boards, black gilt morocco lettering labels, spine lettered and ruled in gilt, wear to binding and joints, ink notations throughout, especially to front blank and title-page, ownership signatures on title, page 9 of vol. I, and page 4 of vol. II, as well as some ink markings to the woodcut devices on the first few leaves of vol. I and the final leaf in vol. II. This is a huge book for 1601 and copies with missing, or duplicated, or misbound leaves are seen with more frequency than slimmer books or later ones. This one has the complete text and prelims, and it has the often missing errata, after the Preface in vol. I, and at the end of vol. II, though it is not without its faults. B iii and B iv in vol. II are chipped at the margins, just touching the marginal citations, these two leaves may be supplied, imissing Ppp (index vol/ 2), there is creasing to the first few and last few leaves, and minor insect damage near the end of volume II, but withal it is a good, textually complete copy. Pliny's encyclopedic work functioned for centuries as the highest authority on subjects relating to the natural and physical world, including botany, zoology, geography, pharmacology, and numerous other disciplines. Completed around 77-79 CE, the"Natural History"synthesized Greek and Roman knowledge within a single comprehensive framework, drawing from nearly 500 sources to create what became arguably the most influential scientific text of the pre-modern period. Philemon Holland's 1601 translation brought Pliny's comprehensive compilation to English readers for the first time. Lowndes characterized this as a "work of immense labour, and what few men of his time could have executed in a superior manner." Holland's scholarly approach preserved the technical vocabulary while rendering complex concepts accessible to readers lacking classical training. Pliny himself embodied the Roman aristocratic ideal of combining administrative service with intellectual pursuit. Gaius Plinius Secundus served as Vespasian's admiral while compiling his vast encyclopedia, demonstrating the integration of practical governance and scholarly endeavor characteristic of the Roman elite. His death during the Vesuvius eruption of 79 CE (killed by ash inhalation while investigating the catastrophe) exemplifies the empirical curiosity that drove his encyclopedic project.

IMPORTANT EARLY ISSUE OF THE GREAT TRANSLATION OF PLINY INTO ENGLISH BY PHILEMON HOLLAND. The second printing of the first full English translation of this important book. First published in Venice in 1469, "The 'Natural History" of Pliny the Elder is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world. .He was a compiler rather than an original thinker, and the importance of this book depends more on his exhaustive reading (he quotes over four hundred authorities, Greek and Latin) than on his original work. All the spare time allowed him by a busy administrative career was devoted to reading; he began long before daybreak, his nephew the younger Pliny recorded, and grudged every minute not spent in study; no book was so bad, he used to say, as not to contain something of value. When he died the 'Natural History' (the sole extant work out of one hundred and two volumes from his pen) was still incomplete. It comprises thirty-seven books dealing with mathematics and physics, geography and astronomy, medicine and zoology, anthropology and physiology, philosophy and history, agriculture and mineralogy, the arts and letters. He is scrupulous in his acknowledgment of his sources (you must, he wrote, with honest humility, declare those from whom you have profited), and the whole of the first book is devoted to the tables of contents and authorities which bear witness to his method. The HISTORIE soon became a standard book of reference: abstracts and abridgments appeared by the third century. Bede owned a copy, Alcuin sent the early books to Charlemagne, and Dicuil, the Irish geographer, quotes him in the ninth century. It was the basis of Isidorets Etymologiae and such medieval encyclopedias as the Speculum Majus of Vincent of Beauvais and the Catholicon of Balbus. One of the earliest books to be printed at Venice, the center from which so much of classical literature was first dispensed, it was later translated into English by Philemon Holland in 1601, and twice reprinted (a notable achievement for so vast a text). . More recently, scholars as various as Humboldt and Grimm have praised and acknowledged their debt to it. Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny. (PMM) The standard of reference for scholars since the 15th century, Holland's translation made it available to the English speaking world for the first time. Although not strictly scientific itself, mingling a good deal of the author's fancy with fact, Pliny's NATURALL HISTORIE was important in stimulating scientific thought in succeeding generations. "It is an encyclopedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world set out in an orderly fashion. It was the source of much medieval knowldege--and legend--and the model for such works as the SPECULUM MAJUS of Vincent of Beauvais. The high regard in which it was held in the world of the Renaissan.
