Aristotle's Masterpiece, also known as The Works of Aristotle, the Famous Philosopher, is a sex manual and a midwifery book that was popular in England from the early modern period through to the nineteenth century. It was first published in 1684 and written by an unknown author who falsely claimed to be Aristotle. As a consequence the author is now described as a Pseudo-Aristotle, the collective name for unidentified authors who masqueraded as Aristotle. Reputable publishers and booksellers might have been cautious about selling Aristotle's Masterpiece, at least in the wake of the 1857 Obscene Publications Act. Although many people in the twenty-first century might think of early modern readers as prudish, Aristotle's Masterpiece was not only a book on midwifery but also a sex manual. It therefore gave frank explanations of topics ranging from childbirth to "the purpose, pleasures, and particulars of sex." Also, unlike many later texts, it acknowledged women's sexual pleasure - something that people often downplayed in later centuries after male midwives rose in popularity and open conversations about sex became less common. Sammelband of original 18th century versions of Aristotle's Masterpiece. First printed in London in 1684, it was imported to the American colonies and then became a staple of early publishing in the United States, going into hundreds of editions.

Venice, Giacomo Penzio, 1519. 46 (instead of 47), (1 blank) ff. With woodcut illustrations throughout. - IV: "Quatuor plagas mundi Ubi fint feire". (100) pp. Latin manuscript on paper. Contemporary limp vellum with four later leather straps. All edges red but faded. Rare Spanish edition of one of the most widely read texts of the High Middle Ages - the pseudo-Aristotelian "Secret of Secrets", purportedly a letter from Aristotle to his student Alexander the Great on an encyclopedic range of topics, including statecraft, ethics, physiognomy, astrology, alchemy, magic, and medicine, supposedly based on a tenth-century Arabic text. The present edition is one of only seven works attributable to the printer Andrés de Burgos, only briefly active in Burgos between May 1503 and June 1505. - Modern scholarship assumes the text to date from after the Encyclopedia of the Brethren of Purity and before the work of Ibn Juljul in the late tenth century. The section on physiognomy may have circulated as early as AD 940. The Arabic text was translated into Persian (at least twice), Ottoman Turkish (twice), Hebrew, Spanish, and twice into Latin. The Hebrew edition also formed the basis for a translation into Russian. The first partial Latin version was prepared for the Queen of Portugal in ca. 1120 by the converso John of Seville; it is now preserved in about 150 copies under the title "Epistola Aristotelis ad Alexandrum de regimine sanitatis" ("Aristotle's letter to Alexander on good health"). The present second translation, and the first of the whole work, was done at Antioch ca. 1232 by the canon Philip of Tripoli for Bishop Guy of Tripoli. - II: First edition of Jacob Köbel's famous treatise on the astrolabe, including a full-page woodcut of a muse holding the sphere of the universe on the reverse of the title-page. Essentially an instruction on the use of the astrolabe, it demonstrates how to calculate time, location, and hours, including various explanatory diagrams and charming illustrations. - III: Rare Venice edition of one of the most influential works of pre-Copernican astronomy in Europe, Johannes de Sacrobosco's "De Sphaera Mundi" from ca. 1230, which introduced the fundamental elements of astronomy. Drawing heavily on Ptolemy's Almagest and Arabian astronomical concepts, it was one of Europe's most influential works on astronomy before Copernicus. The first edition was printed in Ferrara in 1472, and over 90 editions were published in the following two centuries. - IV: An anonymously composed Latin manuscript on astronomy, geometry, trigonometry and arithmetics, drawing on the works of Bohemian astronomer Christian of Prachatice (ca. 1360-1439) and Johannes von Gmunden (ca. 1380-1442), founder of the Vienna School of Astronomy, as well as other scholars. The text elaborates on astronomical calculations and the use of the astrolabe, including some trigonometric sketches for measuring height and angles. Prepared by at least three hands, the manuscript forms two distinct parts (the first comprising 44 pp., the second one 56 pp.) with Sacrobosco and Aristotle bound in between. - Binding somewhat spotted, chipped and frayed. - I: A7 has two burn holes, one repaired, causing some text loss. Marginal manuscript annotations throughout. - II: Small marginal tears to title-page, A2 and A3. Some waterstaining. - III: Lacks title-page (supplied in facsimile). - Some more waterstaining to final manuscript section. - I: Cranz 107.722. Norton 315. Palau I, 114. - II: VD 16, K 1591.

Some very trivial shelfwear and spine just faintly faded, exceedingly clean and sharp otherwise with tight binding. Out of print with the publisher, though Brill will sell you a pdf for $475, and quite scarce in trade. 'A first edition of the Arabic text and the Hebrew text of the Problemata Physica, ascribed to Aristotle, which has been elaborated in later Antiquity in Greek. The text, corresponding with the first 15 books of the existing Greek text, contains chiefly medical problems, but also biological and mathematical ones. Therefore this volume deals with a comparison of the existing Greek text and the lost extended Greek version, only transmitted in this Arabic translation and in this Hebrew translation of the Arabic version. The authorship of the famous translator Hunain Ibn Ishaq has been discussed. The role of the Problemata Physica in Arabic literature has not been omitted. Interesting for Semitic linguistics is the description of the language used by ?unain ibn Ish?q and Moses ibn Tibbon, and of the influence of Arabic on the Hebrew of the translators. Glossaries have been added to give the reader the opportunity to compare the Arabic text with the Greek and the Hebrew ones.' (Publisher's blurb).…

First edition of one of the earliest printed books about colour, translated from the Greek into Latin and with commentary by the Neapolitan physician and philosopher Simone Porzio (1497-1554). Usually attributed to Aristotle, it is now thought to be the work of the peripatetic scholar and pupil of Aristotle, Theophrastus.''As the author states at the end of the treatise, it is intended rather to supply data for a detailed examination into the scientific theory of colour than to expound a complete thesis. He has realized that the development of colour in animals and plants depends to some extent on heat, and he seems to suggest that heat and moisture are the controlling factors. It is of more value as a collection of observed facts than for any theory of the origin and development of colour in physical life'' (Aristotle, Minor Works, Cambridge and London, Loeb Classical Library, 1936, p. 3).With some spotting on the title-page and some marginal tears, not approaching the text, but otherwise in very good condition and with large margins. Binding with the sewing supports broken, a tear in the backstrip and some small stains.
