In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Mylar clear cover protects jacket - tight clean copy. The publication of Theophrastus on Stones is without question an important event for scholars and students interested in the history of pure and applied science. By common consent one of the greatest of t…he Greek philosophers and naturalists, Theophrastus is still a highly significant figure in the development of mineralogy and other scientific and technological area, yet no modern annotated translation of his treatise. This book, which includes the original text, an English translation, and a commentary, gives the reader---with or without a knowledge of Greek--an invaluable interpretation of the technical aspects of the treatise and the rationale of the processes described in it. Many minds were brought to bear upon the labor involved in an undertaking which required specialized scholarship, both scientific and linguistic. Professional book seller with storefront since 1975. All orders carefully packaged and promptly shipped.

In den WarenkorbHard Cover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. First Edition. This was to be used as a source for other lapidaries until at least the Renaissance. Theophrastus classified rocks and gems based on their behavior when heated, further grouping minerals by common properties, such as amber and magnetite, which both have… the power of attraction.[50][51][52] He also comments on the effect of heat on minerals and their different hardnesses. He made the first known reference to pyroelectricity, noting that the mineral tourmaline becomes charged when heated. He also considers the practical uses of various stones, such as the minerals necessary for the manufacture of glass; for the production of various pigments of paint such as ochre; and for the manufacture of plaster. This work is noted for being systematic and is comparatively free from fable and magic. CONDITION 238 pages. Copy is bright and crisp with unworn DJ in protective sleeve. The only slight faults are occasional spot to edge and slight tape ghosting to rear ep where DJ cover has been taped to fit. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

In den WarenkorbHardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. 1st Edition. First Edition of this English translation of De lapidibus. vii, 1 leaf, 238 pp. Original cloth. Near Fine, in near fine dust jacket (unclipped). Graduate School Monographs. Contributions in Physical Science. This is the first English translation…since that of John Hill (1st ed., 1746; 2nd ed., 1774). 'Among the extant writings Theophrastus' monograph on petrology, De lapidibus, best illustrates his investigation into inanimate compounds of the elements. In this, along with several other works known only from fragments and references, he carries forward the detailed investigation proposed by Aristotle at the end of Meteorologica III. . . . The body of the work is a systematic discussion of stones (3-47) and mineral earths (48-69) found around the Mediterranean and in the farther regions traversed by Alexander's army. Substances are distinguished by visual and tactile qualities and by their behavior, particularly in reaction to fire (9-19). Included are the earliest known Greek references to the use of mineral fuel (16), the pearl (36), the touchstone in texting alloys (45-47), and the manufacture of white lead (56). Of particular interest for the history of technology are the accounts of the preparation of pigments (50-60) and the uses of earths dug from pits (61-69). . . . It is the first methodical study of mineralogy and the only one before Agricola's in the sixteenth century that considers mineral substances for themselves rather than for their curative or magical properties' (D. S. B. XIII: 330-1, citing this edition on p. 333).
