SCHEUCHZER, J.J. Geestelyke natuurkunde. In 't Nederlands vert. (d. F.H.J. v. Halen). Versierd met byschriften in poëzy, d. G. Tysens (en L. Paludanus). Amst., P. Schenk, 1735-39. 15 in 8 vols. W. engr. front., 15 engr. ti-vign., engr. portr. of the author (mezzotint) & 758 engr. plates (incl. 5 double-p.) by J.A. Pfeffel after J.M. Fueslin, numb. 1-750. Fol. Cont. blind tooled vellum w. raised bands. (Vellum a bit soiled/stained in places, small dam. to 1 spine, engr. portr. of the engraver lacks, some marginal waterstains to a few vols., but altog. a clean set).NOTE: Von Fauber zu Faur, 1855: "In Scheuchzer's gigantic work, 'Physica Sacra', the Baroque attains, philosophically as well as artistically, its high point and its conclusion. It is the last of those elegant works which do not really contain illustrations to a text but which are, in effect, composed of splendid plates with a text to accompany them (…) Scheuchzer hit upon the idea of investigating and supporting with modern methods all places in which the Bible poses problems of natural science." The work deals with all aspects of nature and natural history: Zoology, ichtology, botany, astronomy, etc., following the Bible from Genesis to Apocalypse. The plates are numbered 1-750, extra: 39A, 99B, 133A, 217A, 223A, 340A-B, 446A-C, 463A & 470A. Illustrations 37-39 on 1 plate; nrs. 340 and 446 left out. - Fine set.

(PAUL THE DEACON). Homeliarius Doctorum. (Basel, N. Kessler, Aug. 9th 1498). 2 parts in 1 vol. (239 (of 242)) lvs. W. full-p. cold. woodcut on ti.-p., repeated - but uncoloured before 2nd part, initials in red or blue, paragraph marks in blue or red added by hand. Fol. Very fine, early 16th c. vellum bind. over wooden brds., sides w. blind tooled dec. and rules, brass clasps and catches. (Apart from the lacking lvs. 1O6, 1V1 and 1V5, a very good copy w. ample margins, some annot. in an old hand in places, colouring of woodcut to first part a bit ran out, endpapers lack).NOTE: Second ed. published by Kessler and edited by Johann Ulrich Surgant of the collection of homilies and sermons from predominantly patristic sources, probably compiled by Paulus Diakonus between 782 and 786 on the orders of Charlemagne. The collection was widely distributed throughout the Middle Ages, although its composition and conception were repeatedly changed. The division of the homiliary, which was initially structured in two parts into the two sections of the church year ('Pars hiemalis' and 'Pars aestivalis'), has been replaced here by the division into 'De tempore and De sanctis'. A Basel manuscript (preface by the editor to the printer) served as the text basis. - Goff H-319; Hain-Copinger 8793*; GW 12931; BM 15th cent., III, p. 773 (IB. 37666).

(Wrps. a bit soiled). -- (2).NOTE: Ad 1: First edition of one of the great statements on the equality of the sexes. Mill had long been a women's rights advocate, having been influenced by the thinking of his father, the Utilitarian philosopher James Mill, and by his long friendship with, and then marriage to, the philosopher Harriet Taylor Hardy (1807-1858), a passionate advocate for equality. Harriet Taylor's influence on this work was substantial, and acknowledged by Mill: "All that is most striking and profound in what was written by me belongs to my wife, coming from the fund of thought that had been made common to us both by our innumerable conversations and discussions on a topic that filled so large a place in our minds" (Autobiography, 1873, p. 266).
