	IBN SINA (AVICENNA) Ibn Sina. Al-Isharat Wa-T-Tanbihat Li Ibn Sina, Ma'a Sharh Nasir Ad-Din Tusi . ed. by S. Donya. 4 volumes. Abu Ali al-Husain ibn Abdallah ibn Sina (Avicenna) Born: 980 in Kharmaithen (near Bukhara), Central Asia (now Uzbekistan) Died: June 1037 in Hamadan, Persia (now Iran) Ibn Sina is often known by his Latin name of Avicenna, although most references to him today have reverted to using the correct version of ibn Sina. We know many details of his life for he wrote an autobiography which has been supplemented with material from a biography written by one of his students. The autobiography is not simply an account of his life, but rather it is written to illustrate his ideas of reaching the ultimate truth, so it must be carefully interpreted. The course of ibn Sina's life was dominated by the period of great political instability through which he lived. The Samanid dynasty, the first native dynasty to arise in Iran after the Muslim Arab conquest, controlled Transoxania and Khorasan from about 900. Bukhara was their capital and it, together with Samarkand, were the cultural centres of the empire. However, from the middle of the 10th century, the power of the Samanid's began to weaken. By the time ibn Sina was born, Nuh ibn Mansur was the Sultan in Bukhara but he was struggling to retain control of the empire. Ibn Sina's father was the governor of a village in one of Nuh ibn Mansur's estates. He was educated by his father, whose home was a meeting place for men of learning in the area. Certainly ibn Sina was a remarkable child, with a memory and an ability to learn which amazed the scholars who met in his father's home. By the age of ten he had memorised the Qur'an and most of the Arabic poetry which he had read. When ibn Sina reached the age of thirteen he began to study medicine and he had mastered that subject by the age of sixteen when he began to treat patients. He also studied logic and metaphysics, receiving instruction from some of the best teachers of his day, but in all areas he continued his studies on his own. In his autobiography (see [7] or [9]) ibn Sina stresses that he was more or less self-taught but that at crucial times in his life he received help.

	BACON, FRANCIS, The Two Books of Francis Bacon 0. of the Proficience and Advancement of Learning, Divine and Human. London, 1808; xx, 443pp.; early nineteenth century red straight-grained morocco, spine decorated in gilt with raised bands, narrow triple gilt border to boards, a.e.g.; spine darkened, extremities a little worn or rubbed, one corner split at extremity. A clue as to the editor of this edition is given in the presentation inscription, dated 1848, in this copy, which was possibly bound as a gift; it reads: "S.Mallet from H.Foss, who knew and greatly esteemed her Uncle Philip, the Editior of this admirable work of the Immortal Bacon". This strongly suggests that the editor was the Oxford antiquary and book-collector Philip Bliss, the editor of many seventeenth century works, including the earliest selection from Aubrey's "Lives". The dedication in this copy may be the only documentary evidence of that this is Bliss's edition.

Darüber hinaus wird die Frage gestellt, inwiefern die jüdische Aufklärung gerade in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Tradition entstanden ist, die Überlieferung also nicht allein als fragwürdig gewordene Erbmasse wahrgenommen wurde, sondern als unerlässliches Ferment einer neuen intellektuellen Bewegung wirkte.[ST].

	PRICE BRONWEN (ED) Francis Bacon's the New Atlantis: New Interdisciplinary Essays . 224pp, Hardback. Since its original appearance in 1627 'The New Atlantis' has always inspired and enthralled its readers. Depicting an advanced 'scientific' society, it has often been regarded as a means for Bacons ideas to become manifest, and also as a great work of science fiction. This volume compiles eight essays on this amazing piece of work, all written by leading scholars, providing a fresh and stimulating dialogue between a range of critical perspectives. Each contributor considers the books use of rhetoric, its narrative contexts, political and ethical implications, its relation to the natural knowledge of its time, and the function of miracles in New Atlantan society. An ideal companian to 'The New Atlantis', students of many subjects will find it compelling.

Includes the prefaces to the two previous editions, as well as a new preface of one page, dated london, 1894. In this new preface Engels explains that although this is otherwise virtually the same as the foregoing edition, it differs in one crucial aspect: he has restored the missing parts of Part Two, Chapter Ten - crucial, because this chapter is almost entirely the work of Marx, and what is here restored are Marx's cogitations on classical economists, rather than on Duehring: "Die Ausfuehrungen, worin Marx Leuten wie Petty, North, Locke, Hume die ihnen gebuehrende Stelle in der Genesis der klassischen Oekonomie anweist, halte ich mich fuer verpflichtet moeglichst vollstaendig und woertlich zu geben; noch mehr aber seine Klarstellung des "oekonomischen Tableaus" von Quesnay..".

	GRUPPE, O.F., Antaus. 0. Ein Briefwechsel ueber spekulative Philosophie in ihrem Conflict mit Wissenschaft und Sprache.

First Edition. Gruppe's magnum opus, which aroused huge attention when it appeared. It argues that the purpose of philosophical investigation is to advance research, not to devise elaborate systems, and that it should be based on experience, not on metaphysical introspection. Unsurprisingly, it received huge attention when it appeared, and in particular it aroused the wrath of the Hegel school. Nevertheless, it is now a very rare book.

A volume of the very rare first edition. Despite the signs left by a period of neglect, it is complete, in a contemporary binding, and pleasant to handle. We offer it TOGETHER WITH a disbound copy of Volume I [1835] of the same, first edition, lacking the title-page and the series title, but is otherwise complete too, beginning at p.vi with Hotho's "Vorrede des Herausgebers", dated Berlin, 26. Juni 1835. This first volume is more seriously affected by damp, with marginal fraying to a few pages and loss through damp or insects to the corners of c. 30pp. The series was completed with a third volume [lacking here]. The importance and influence of Hegel's lectures on aesthetics for nineteenth century intellectuals, philosophers, writers and practising artists is incalculable, and any volume of the first edition is rare.

Darüber hinaus wird die Frage gestellt, inwiefern die jüdische Aufklärung gerade in der Auseinandersetzung mit der Tradition entstanden ist, die Überlieferung also nicht allein als fragwürdig gewordene Erbmasse wahrgenommen wurde, sondern als unerlässliches Ferment einer neuen intellektuellen Bewegung wirkte.[ST].

	PRICE BRONWEN (ED) Francis Bacon's the New Atlantis: New Interdisciplinary Essays . 224pp, Hardback. Since its original appearance in 1627 'The New Atlantis' has always inspired and enthralled its readers. Depicting an advanced 'scientific' society, it has often been regarded as a means for Bacons ideas to become manifest, and also as a great work of science fiction. This volume compiles eight essays on this amazing piece of work, all written by leading scholars, providing a fresh and stimulating dialogue between a range of critical perspectives. Each contributor considers the books use of rhetoric, its narrative contexts, political and ethical implications, its relation to the natural knowledge of its time, and the function of miracles in New Atlantan society. An ideal companian to 'The New Atlantis', students of many subjects will find it compelling.

Includes the prefaces to the two previous editions, as well as a new preface of one page, dated london, 1894. In this new preface Engels explains that although this is otherwise virtually the same as the foregoing edition, it differs in one crucial aspect: he has restored the missing parts of Part Two, Chapter Ten - crucial, because this chapter is almost entirely the work of Marx, and what is here restored are Marx's cogitations on classical economists, rather than on Duehring: "Die Ausfuehrungen, worin Marx Leuten wie Petty, North, Locke, Hume die ihnen gebuehrende Stelle in der Genesis der klassischen Oekonomie anweist, halte ich mich fuer verpflichtet moeglichst vollstaendig und woertlich zu geben; noch mehr aber seine Klarstellung des "oekonomischen Tableaus" von Quesnay..".

	GRUPPE, O.F., Antaus. 0. Ein Briefwechsel ueber spekulative Philosophie in ihrem Conflict mit Wissenschaft und Sprache. Berlin, in der Nauckschen Buchhandlung, 1831; xii, 467pp.; nineteenth century half morocco, raised bands, cloth boards, marbled endpapers; frony hinge slightly worn, contents browned, a few light marginal pencil strokes, rather tightly bound. First Edition. Gruppe's magnum opus, which aroused huge attention when it appeared. It argues that the purpose of philosophical investigation is to advance research, not to devise elaborate systems, and that it should be based on experience, not on metaphysical introspection. Unsurprisingly, it received huge attention when it appeared, and in particular it aroused the wrath of the Hegel school. Nevertheless, it is now a very rare book.

A volume of the very rare first edition. Despite the signs left by a period of neglect, it is complete, in a contemporary binding, and pleasant to handle. We offer it TOGETHER WITH a disbound copy of Volume I [1835] of the same, first edition, lacking the title-page and the series title, but is otherwise complete too, beginning at p.vi with Hotho's "Vorrede des Herausgebers", dated Berlin, 26. Juni 1835. This first volume is more seriously affected by damp, with marginal fraying to a few pages and loss through damp or insects to the corners of c. 30pp. The series was completed with a third volume [lacking here]. The importance and influence of Hegel's lectures on aesthetics for nineteenth century intellectuals, philosophers, writers and practising artists is incalculable, and any volume of the first edition is rare.
