London: A. Bettesworth and W. Taylor in Pater-Noster-Row, E. Curll in Fleet-Street, and J. Browne without Temple-Bar, 1717. First Edition. Full leather. Very good. Scarce. A very good first edition of this version ---- there were competing editors in 1717 --- complete and collated in two volumes. This work released after Dryden's Ovid translations. Sewell's translations went on to sell in three editions total. Title page on Volume I is loose and reads, "Ovid's Metamorphoses. In fifteen books. A new translation. By several hands. Adorn'd with cuts." Consistent with the worldcat entry for this set, the titlepage to vol. II reads: "Ovid's Metamorphoses made English. By several hands. .," and J. Browne's name is spelled "Brown." Blind and gilt tooled leather boards. Four raised bands. Original paper labels on spines. Joints shallowly cracked on volume I and starting on volume II. Minor loss to spine on volume II. With woodcut bookplate of Glanville Wynkoop Smith on front pastedown of both volumes. One signature on volume II has pulled away from endband and is a bit proud. Text in English is crisp and clear. Marginalia present, including a beautiful short [original??] melody neatly pencilled on rear pastedown. Toning to pastedowns and free endpapers. Marvelous woodcuts throughout. Unpaginated. 3 3/4 x 6 inches tall, 32mo. From the personal library of artist, architect, musician, author, journalist, poet, naturalist and historian Glanville Wynkoop Smith, author of Many a Green Isle (1941) and The adventures of Sir Ignatius Tippitolio, better known to the world as Tippy, proprietor of Tippitolio's grand imperial hotel Oriella (1945).

1597 Poetry of Oppian Greco-Roman FISHING & Hunting Commodus Greek Plantin RARE

Oppian of Anazarbus, or simply Oppian, was a 2nd-century Greek poet who is only remembered for his Greek poems on fishing and hunting. Of his surviving works, his poem on fishing (De piscatu) is his most important, much in part because it was dedicated to Marcus Aurelius and Commodus.

This 1597 edition of the poems of Oppian includes two major poems - the expected poem on fishing and the other on hunting. However, it should be noted that the Oppian named as the author of the hunting poem is Oppian of Syria. According to scholars, Oppian of Syria was familiar with the hunting poem of Oppian of Anazarbus and wrote his poem as a supplement to the former.

Regardless of the authorship, this late 16th-century work is a fascinating and desirable piece on Ancient Roman leisure activities and outdoors sport. Edited and translated with commentary by Konrad Rittershausen, this printing features both Latin and Greek texts in… Read More

1644 1st ed Meteorologia Resta Meteorology Weather Physics Earthquake Aristotle

The most complete treatise on meteorology!

Francesco Resta's 'Meteorologia' is a rare 17th-century treatise on weather and its effects on the earth. In this work, Resta sought to formalize many of his hypotheses about meteorology and prove his speculations about rain, fire, meteors, vapors and air, all through the lens of Aristotle's ancient treatise 'Meteorologica'. This book even discusses rainbows, earthquakes, oceans, natural springs, comets, and according to L.C. Claassen, this book was "the most complete treatise on meteorology then published!"

1625 1ed English Francis Mason Consecration Bishops Church England anti Catholic

Francis Mason was a notable and important bishop of the Church of England at the end of the 16th-century. He is best remembered for his 1613 defense of the Church, "Of the Consecration of the Bishops in the Church of England". In this book, Mason describes the importance of having bishops be consecrated. This controversial book propelled Catholic authors to condemn Mason's work in which he published more and more editions including this Latin edition which was published in 1625.

1673 JanuaLinguarum CZECH Comenius Linguistics Dictionary ENGLISH & Latin RARE
"Every educational reformer owes much, in the way of inspiration and suggestion, to his predecessors, and of none is this truer than of John Amos Comenius."
– Will S. Monroe, Comenius and the Beginnings of Educational Reform"
Shortly after 'JanuaLinguarumReserata' was first published in1629, it was translated into nearly every European language. In fact, by the 1630s, it was the second most read book in Europe, second only to the Bible. This textbook by Johann Amos Comenius was simply a text of Language, as the English title suggests, "The Door of Languages Unlocked."
'Janua' comprehends the elements of all the sciences and arts – from the origin of words to the mind and its faculties." (Monroe, 126).


It was written with 1,000 short sentences comprising of roughly 8,000 words. In all, there have been over 100 editions of this book printed! Comenius is now remembered as an innovator, who first introduced… Read More

1680 1ed Scottish Morison BOTANY Plantarum Plants Classification Science FOLIOS

Robert Morison was a 17th-century Scottish botanist best-known for his book 'Plantarum Umbelliferarum Distributio Nova'. This book was an enormous work and one of best books of botany from the 17th-century. The successes of the 1672 'Plantarum' propelled Morison to write 'Plantarum Universalis Oxoniensis', which became his magnum opus. Sadly, Morison was never able to finish this work before his death. This book was written to describe fifteen classes of his botanical classification system. A second (or third overall volume) was published later to include the final sections not covered in the first tome.

1695 1ed FAMED Robert Boyle Against Swearing Cursing Oaths Philosophy Anger RARE

While mostly known for his contributions to natural philosophy and science, Robert Boyle was highly interested in theology, devoting much of his time to studying the existence of God, using his philosophical and even scientific discoveries as evidence. One of his many important treatises was his "Against Swearing and Cursing" – a discussion on the sins of cursing, dealing with anger, agreeing to and breaking oaths, and admissions of guilt.

The 'Printing and the Mind of Man' calls Boyle
"the best-known English scientist of his day, and the greatest experimental scientist of the mid-17th-century." (PMM 141).
