Frier Bacon His Discovery of the Miracles of Art, Nature, and Magick Faithfully translated out of Dr. Dees own Copy, by T. M

London, Simon Miller, 1659. First Edition. Hardcover. Small duodecimo (3-1/8" x 5-1/2") bound in early calf with gilt-ruled covers and gilt decoration and lettering on the spine; [xii], 51, [7 - ads] pages. First separate printing and First English Edition of Roger Bacon's letter to William of Paris that first appeared in Dee's BACON'S EPISTOLAE, published in Hamburg in 1618. Bacon begins this long essay denying the existence of magic, but concludes showing how to create a "Philosophers Egg." He writes about optics, gunpowder (Bacon is believed to have introduced gunpowder--a Chinese invention--to the West), and petroleum in warfare. Bacon makes some bold futurist statements such as “admirable Artificial Instruments” of locomotion (“It's possible to make a Chariot move with an inestimable swiftnesse and this motion to be without the help of any living creature”), of flight (“It's possible to make Engines for flying, a man sitting in the midst whereof, by turning onely about an Instrument, which moves artificiall Wings made to beat the Aire”), and diving (“A man may make an Engine, whereby without any corporal danger, he may walk in the bottome of the Sea, or other water”). Bookplate of Lord Northwick on front pastedown. Minor foxing, pencil notes on endpapers; small chip to head of spine. Near Fine and very scarce .

ROGER BACON,

Opus maius. Eine moralphilosophische Auswahl. Lateinisch - Deutsch. Ausgewählt, eingeleitet und übersetzt von P.A. Antolic-Piper.

Herder, Freiburg (...), 2008. 200p. Hard bound. Like new. Series: Herders Bibliothek der Philosophie des Mittelalters, Band 13. Roger Bacon (ca. 1219-1292/94) zählt zu den bedeutendesten und umstrittensten Denkern des 13. Jahrhunderts. Von zentraler Aussagekraft für sein umfangreiches philosophisches Schaffen ist das Papst Clemens IV. gewidmete Opus maius. In diesem enzyklopädischen Gesamtentwurf ruft er in einer Zeit tiefgreifenden philosophischen wie auch gesellschaftlichen Umbruchs zu einer umfassenden Reform der wissenschaftlichen Methoden, der Studien, sogar der Wissenschaften selbst auf. Im vorliegenden Band werden erstmals in deutscher Sprache jene zentralen Textpassagen des Opus maius zugänglich gemacht, in welchen sich Roger Bacon programmatisch mit den seinerzeit brisanten Fragen nach dem Verhältnis von Wissenschaft und Weisheit, von Philosophie und Theologie, von Wissen und Handeln auseinandersetzt.

Perspectiva. In qua, quae ab aliis fuse traduntur, succincte, nervose & ita pertractantur, ut omnium intellectui facile pateant. Nunc primum in lucem edita. Opera & studio Joannis Combachii.Frankfurt, Wolffgang Richter for Antonius Hummius, 1614. 4to. With 8 full-page woodcuts printed on both sides of four leaves inserted as plates, and numerous woodcut figures and illustrations in text, several full-page. Modern plain paper boards.

[8], 189[=205], [1 blank] pp.First edition of a famous work on optics by the English natural philosopher and mathematician Roger Bacon (ca. 1220-ca. 1292). Bacon was well read in Arabic and ancient Greek sources on optics and perspective, a subject hardly studied in Europe during the earlier Middle Ages. The main sources for his theories were the writings of Euclid, Ptolemy and Alhazen (Ibn al-Haytham), and he followed Robert Grosseteste concerning the importance of light and in his emphasis on the use of lenses, not only for burning, but also for magnification to aid natural vision. Bacon advised magnifying glasses for old people as well as for people with weak eyes. The Perspectiva belonged to Bacon's Opus maius, compiled in manuscript in 1266-1267. The present edition was based on a medieval manuscript and was edited by Johann Combach (1585-1651), professor of philosophy at Marburg in GermanyWith a stain on the title-page and two on the last blank, probably from removing old stamps, browned throughout with a few small spots, but overall in good condition. Binding with some water stains, but otherwise good.l DSB I, pp. 377-384; VD17 23:236968W; cf. Kemp, The science of art, pp. 26, 211, and 269; Vagnetti DB5.
