Description
Antwerp: Ioannes Grapheus, 1528. Second Printing. Very Good. Octavo (16 cm) [64] leaves, signed a-h in 8s. Full-page "Charity" printer's device (thought to have been designed by Pieter Coecke van Aelst) on last page. Italic type. Title page elaborated at an early date in ink with image of a chalice or urn. Several ownership inscriptions in ink on title page. Marginal notes in manuscript on a4r and in lower margin of f3v. Manuscript note canceled on g6v. Bound in recent full calf with gilt and blind-tooled panels in period style, with author's name stamped in gilt on upper board. Pages somewhat toned, occasional stains. References: BM Dutch, p. 82. Pomponio Gaurico was the youngest of Giovanni Pontano's students, and the last to carry Pontano's Neapolitan brand of Humanism into the 16th century. (From 1512 he held the chair in Humanistic Studies at the University of Naples.) His treatise on bronze sculpture came out of his studies at the University of Padua, and was published at Florence in 1504. It was quickly recognized as a fundamental statement of art theory, written in elegant Latin (for which Pontano's students were justly famous). The second edition, offered here, was printed in Antwerp, Belgium. It is significant not only as an early printing of a perennial text, but as evidence of the spread of Italian humanism, with its principles of proportion, perspective, and ideal beauty, to Northern European artists and thinkers. It was one of the first books off the press of the young printer, Joannis Grapheus, relying on a text prepared by his brother, the humanist Cornelius Scribonius Grapheus, who had traveled in Italy and probably became familiar with Gaurico's work there. In a preface, Cornelius describes the text as "a rare bird, an uncommon treasure, a textbook useful not only for sculptors or painters, but also to all writers, whether they be poets or historians or philosophers. It is a book to be cherished in the heart, admired, redolent of antiquity and richly abounding in learning.

Description
London: Joannem Brindley;, 1748. SECOND REVISED EDITION; FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH. Woodcut head- and tailpieces. An excellent copy bound in contemporary half-morocco and marbled boards, marbled endpapers. From the library of Charles W. Pilgrim (1855-1934), once chairman of the New York State Commission on Mental Health. with his small bookplate on the paste-down. Second revised edition together with the first edition in English, translated by Thomas Stack. Mead here attempts to show the influence of gravitational forces on human health. “During Mead’s day it was widely believed that celestial bodies had a direct influence on health; Mead attempts to explain this by employing the principles of Newtonian mechanics. Mead believed that atmospheric pressure was affected by the sun, moon, and stars, which produced changes similar to those of the oceanic tides. He also postulated that atmospheric variations in elasticity and pressure had a direct effect on the nervous fluid. Epilepsy, hysteria, menstrual disorders, nephritis, ulcers, and asthma were among the diseases that followed lunar cycles”( Heirs). Mead (1673-1754), inheritor of the “gold-headed cane,” was physician to George II, Newton, and other notable figures. Mesmer was strongly inspired by this book to write his doctoral thesis in 1766 (On the influence of the planets on the human body); indeed some say it was largely a plagiarism of this book. Heirs of Hippocrates, 768.
