Title: [Timaeus]. De universitate sive de origine mundi libellus
Author: [PLATO]; CICERO (translator)
Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: (Cologne: Quentel heirs, 1520. 4to (194 x 140 mm). Collation: A-B4. [15] pages. Woodcut initial on title, the latter in two sizes of large gothic types, text in small gothic types, leaded, epigram on title and text heading in roman. (Small stain in top of gutter margins, small inkstain on A1v, f. B3 corner clipped.) Bound in early 18th-century South German pasteboards completely overpainted in imitation of a Renaissance binding: both covers painted in watercolor and gouache on a brown ground with outer panel of scrolling tendrils with red flowers and leaves, central panel with arabesque foliate decor, two vases at top and bottom, and central cartouche containing a winged lion holding a book, painted in silver on a black ground; flat spine with portion of a different painted decor, endleaves of gold on green Bronzefirnispapier (bronze varnish paper), probably from Augsburg, with interlacing tendrils and birds, foxes, rabbits, dogs, an angel’s head, and a putto emerging from a bud, thick paper flyleaves (small tear to backstrip, edges slightly rubbed, small marginal repair to lower flyleaf). Provenance: contemporary inscription on title: Plus que moins que ?me d’amour [or quie en amour] et [or e[s]t] qui la scait servir; Maurice Burrus (1882-1959), bookplate and acquisition label dated September 1937, identifying Arthur Lauria as the seller. *** First separate edition, previously unknown, of Cicero’s translation of part of Plato’s Timaeus. Cicero's fragmentary translation (of sections 27d-47b) was highly influential in late antiquity. In either Cicero’s version or Calcidius’s more extensive translation (of sections 17a–53c), the Timaeus was often the only text of Plato found in medieval monastic scriptoria and libraries. The first separate edition of Calcidius’s translation was also published in 1520, by Josse Bade. This edition was intended as a schoolbook, with its moderately leaded lines. The title page includes an epigram by one Ioannis Sartae Leodiensis (Jean de Sarthe? of Liège). I locate one mention of another copy, in a 1902 catalogue of the library of the Gymnasium of Emmerich, bound with two other Cicero Quentel imprints from 1518 and 1517 (J. Wattendorff, Katalog der Lehrerbibliothek, Part IV, Emmerich 1904, p. 21, shelfmark O 35). That volume was evidently destroyed in 1944, when 90% of the town was bombed. The most remarkable feature of this unusual book is the binding, carefully painted on inexpensive pasteboards by an unknown early 18th-century amateur to resemble a 16th-century gold-tooled and paneled binding. The artist indulged in a certain amalgamation of styles (viz. the central silver medallion, containing a representation of the lion of Venice holding the Gospel of Mark). The lovely “bronze varnish” or gold varnish endpapers, with their swirling tendrils among which are hidden animals and birds, are typical of papers produced in Augsburg in the first two decades of the 18th century (cf. Haemmerle, pp. 72-73). These especially resemble examples produced by Georg Christoph Stoy. I have not found an exact match in the printed and online literature. Not in VD16, KVK, OCLC, ISTC, Hoffmann, etc. My thanks to Irene Malfatto for her help with the inscription.

GARRISON-MORTON No. 158 for the German edition of 1792 (first published in Dutch in 1791). PETRUS CAMPER (1722 - 1789), was a Dutch physician, anatomist, physiologist, midwife, zoologist, anthropologist, paleontologist and a naturalist. He was the son of a local well-to-do minister, who made his fortune in the East Indies. As a brilliant alumnus, he studied in the University of Leiden, earning degrees in both medicine and philosophy at the age of 24. He was offered sundry professorships, being first named professor of philosophy, anatomy and surgery in 1750 at the University of Franeker. Beginning in 1755, he occupied a chair of anatomy, medicine and surgery at the Athenaeum Illustre of Amsterdam, and later moved to the University of Groningen. He investigated the anatomy of eight orangutans, and claimed it was a different species from the human being, and not simply a "degenerate" type of (white) human, as some contemporary scientists theorized. In his 1778 lecture, "On the Points of Similarity between the Human Species, Quadrupeds, Birds, and Fish; with Rules for Drawing, founded on this Similarity," he metamorphosed a horse into a human being, thus showing the similarity between all vertebrates. Camper is best known for his theory of the "facial angle" originally in connection with two lectures he gave in Amsterdam in 1770 to art students on beauty and portraiture. He determined that modern humans had facial angles between 70° and 80°, with African and Asian angles closer to 70°, and European angles closer to 80. According to his new portraiture technique, an angle is formed by drawing two lines: one horizontally from the nostril to the ear; and the other perpendicularly from the advancing part of the upper jawbone to the most prominent part of the forehead. His theory that intelligence is proportional to the facial angle was later used to justify racism, slavery and genocide. PROVENANCE: CHARLES ATWOOD KOFOID (1865 - 1947) was an American zoologist known for his collection and classification of many new species of marine protozoans which established marine biology on a systematic basis. A faculty member of the University of California, Berkeley he was an early advocate for the development of a marine station in La Jolla that would later become the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences.

Seller: Michael Brown Rare Books, LLC (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: No Binding. Very Good. Archive of 316 letters, comprising 1,311 pp., with 28 pieces of ephemera, (including calling cards, used envelopes, and postcards), all dated between 1925 and 1951, with the bulk of material being 1925 to 1938. Of the 316 letters, 112 of them (545 pp.) were written by Margaret M. "Peg" French to her fiancé, and later husband Charles H. "Peter" Jones, Jr., and are dated 1925-1927. Charles writes 146 (598 pp.) of these 316 letters to his fiancée, later wife, Margaret. The remaining 58 letters (168 pp.) are by various correspondents and include Charles H. "Pete" Jones, Jr. writing letters to his mother-in-law Mrs. Henry C. French (6) and to his son Charles H. "Willie" Jones, III (2). Also in these remaining letters are 14 letters written by Margaret to her son Charles, and 17 letters written by Charles H. Jones, Sr. to his daughter-in-law Margaret and 3 letters to his grandson Charles H. "Willie" Jones, III. There are also 3 letters written by Leslie F. "Mym" Jones (the daughter of Charles H. "Pete" Jones, Jr.) to her brother Charles H. "Willie" Jones, III, and 13 miscellaneous letters that include 9 letters to Margaret, 1 letter to Charles H. "Pete" Jones, Jr., and 3 letters to Peg and Pete's daughter, Leslie F. "Mym" Jones. These miscellaneous letters are written by family and friends. The letters consist mainly of family and personal correspondence. Charles H. Jones Family History: Founding and Development of Commonwealth Shoe & Leather Co. The Commonwealth Shoe & Leather Co. was a successor to a few of Whitman, Massachusetts' early shoe factories. Among its predecessors were the Marcus S. Reed Factory, begun ca. 1865 in South Abington (later called Whitman). The Reed factory operated on another site as a small boot and shoe factory under various names. Another predecessor to Commonwealth Shoe was the Henry and Daniels factory, itself a successor to earlier South Abington shoe companies, and the previous owner of the earliest extant shoe factory building on the present Commonwealth Shoe and Leather site (ca. 1864). After Commonwealth Shoe & Leather Co. acquired the west side of the present Marble Street complex, it became a Whitman landmark, and the sprawling complex eventually occupied property on both the east and west sides of Marble Street. Founded and incorporated in 1884, Commonwealth Shoe & Leather Co. succeeded the Charles H. Jones Co., formed in 1882. Charles H. Jones (1855-1933) was a capitalist and philanthropist, who amassed a fortune engaging in many fields of business and industry including leather and shoe manufacturing, cattle breeding, dairy farming, and real estate development. Jones became president of Commonwealth Shoe & Leather Co., a position he held until 1930. For most of its existence, Commonwealth Shoe was a family enterprise, run by three generations of the Jones family--Charles H. Jones, his sons Paul Jones and Charles H. "Pete" Jones Jr., and grandsons Paul Jones Jr. and Charles Jones III. The archive offered here centers around the correspondence of Charles H. "Pete" Jones, Jr. and his fiancée, later wife, Margaret Massy "Peg" French. Charles H. Jones, was the son of Harriet Sears and Isaac Jones, and descended from a family of Quakers, who had established themselves in Chatham on Cape Cod. Charles Henry Jones, was born in 1855 in Marshfield, Massachusetts, attended Boston public schools, and in 1872 graduated from Dartmouth College, Hanover, New Hampshire. After graduation, the seventeen-year-old Jones went to work for the wholesale shoe firm Henry and Daniels as a travelling representative. In 1882 Charles H. Jones married Bessie Roberts (1861-1948) of Boston, and they had four children Paul Jones (1884-?), Elizabeth Jones (1900-1990), who married Frank J. McSherry, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; Charles Henry "Pete" Jones, Jr. (1902-1999), and Harriet M. Jones (1904-1997), who married James Sinclair, of Weston, Massac
