Description
Tyrnavia: Typis Academicis So. Jesu, 1752. Title in red and black, beautiful woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces. Contemporary tree calf, sprinkled edges; interior fine, small stamp on verso of title. Bound with a short theological treatise. A rare and important treatise on causes of and remedies for some of the more important personal problems of the time. After a short tract dealing with one's inner weaknesses in general, Tilkowski proceeds to detail specific maladies such as hypocrisy, ingratitude, avarice and lying, and lays out the means by which one can overcome these particular problems. A very popular work, first published in 1676 (De malo, malique causis et remediis), the book was way ahead of it's time, a type of self-help compendium for the morally ill. Tilkowski (1625-95), a Jesuit, was a prodigious writer on subjects including theology, mathematics, poetry and philosophy. No doubt had he lived in this time he would have had his own television talk show. No copies located outside of eastern Europe.
