1870 Andrea Alciati EMBLEMS Emblematica Holbein Mythology 100s Woodcuts RARE"Plenitudo potestatis nihil aliud est quam violentia." (The fullness of power is nothing more than violence).
― Andrea Alciati
An incredible first edition of Alciati's 'Emblemata'. This 1549 edition includes countless woodcut-engraved devices. These illustrations helped inspire thousands of imitations throughout Europe on secular and religious themes. Devices depict pastoral scenes, cathedrals, military, mythological creatures, and more. 'Emblematica' provides important clues and shows - with brevity of style - concern for the eternal nature of man and human nature. Per Saunders in "The 17th-century French Emblem,"
"Alciato's emblem book went through a large number of transformations from the original very crude and simple form. Its early transformation into a work which was both aesthetically more pleasing and visually more accurate…with a very different treatment of the original… by Claude Mignault in 1584."

Cherry on front flyleaf. 1927 Half-Leather. iv, 325 pp. 8vo. No binder's ticket, but appears to be a contemporary custom rebinding: blue leather spine and corners over blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, top edge gilt, new end sheets. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
