Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Theophrastus of Eresus in Lesbos, born about 370 BCE, is the author of the most important botanical works that have survived from classical antiquity. He was in turn student, collaborator, and successor of Aristotle. Like his predecessor he was interested in all aspects of human knowledge and experience, especially natural science. His writings on plants form a counterpart to Aristotle's zoological works.In the Enquiry into Plants Theophrastus classifies and describes varieties-covering trees, plants of particular regions, shrubs, herbaceous plants, and cereals; in the last of the nine books he focuses on plant juices and medicinal properties of herbs. The Loeb Classical Library edition is in two volumes; the second contains two additional treatises: On Odours and Weather Signs.In De Causis Plantarum Theophrastus turns to plant physiology. Books One and Two are concerned with generation, sprouting, flowering and fruiting, and the effects of climate. In Books Three and Four Theophrastus studies cultivation and agricultural methods. In Books Five and Six he discusses plant breeding; diseases and other causes of death; and distinctive flavours and odours.Theophrastus's celebrated Characters is of a quite different nature. This collection of descriptive sketches is the earliest known character-writing and a striking reflection of contemporary life. Enquiry into Plants and De Causis Plantarum by Theophrastus (c. 370 c. 285 BCE) are a counterpart to Aristotle s zoological work and the most important botanical work of antiquity now extant. In the latter Theophrastus turns to plant physiology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

In folio; due opere in un volume: (8), 396, (28) pp. e 143, (9) pp. Bella legatura seicentesca in piena pergamena con titolo in oro al dorso che si presenta a sei nervi, qualche lieve segno del tempo ma nel complesso in buone condizioni di conservazione. Bella marca tipografica di Guillaume Rouillé (1545-1589) al frontespizio di ogni volume. Alcune pagine leggermente ed uniformemente brunite a causa alla qualità della carta, ininfluente. Un leggerissimo alone ininfluente al margine esterno bianco delle ultime 10 carte del secondo volume e nel complesso ambedue le opere si presentano in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Testatine, iniziali e finalini xilografici. Bell'edizioni stampate da Rouillé di queste due celebri opere del grande scrittore, medico e filosofo originario di Riva del Garda, Giulio Cesare Scaligero, latinizzato in Julius Caesar Scaliger (1484-1558). Di origine italiana, trascorse in Francia parte della sua vita, e la parte più fruttuosa della sua carriera. A dispetto del suo atteggiamento arrogante e incline alla polemica, era alta la sua reputazione tra i contemporanei, che lo giudicavano così distinto nel suo sapere e talento, che, secondo Jacques Auguste de Thou, nessuno degli antichi poteva essere collocato sopra di lui, e che l'età in cui visse non presentò nessun sapiente paragonabile a lui. Nelle proprie note biografiche, Scaligero si spaccia per un discendente del casato dei Della Scala (che furono, per 150 anni, i signori di Verona) e si dice nato nell'anno 1484 a Rocca di Riva, sulle rive del Lago di Garda. Era forse figlio di Niccolò della Scala, a sua volta figlio di Guglielmo.Quando era dodicenne, il suo protettore, l'imperatore Massimiliano I d'Asburgo, lo nominò tra i suoi paggi. Rimase per diciassette anni al servizio dell'imperatore, distinguendosi prima come soldato e poi come capitano. Ma non dimenticava di coltivare né le lettere, nelle quali aveva avuto come precettori alcuni tra i più eminenti studiosi del tempo, né le arti, che aveva studiato con considerevole successo sotto la direzione di Albrecht Dürer. Nel 1512 prese parte alla battaglia di Ravenna. Ma poco in verità è provato della vita dello Scaligero fino al 1525 quando divenne medico personale del vescovo di Agen, in Francia. Definiva i suoi studi classici come un gradevole rilassamento da compiti più severi. Qualsiasi siano state le sue vere faccende nei suoi primi 40 anni di vita, sicuramente queste lo resero un osservatore accurato e ravvicinato, e lo avevano reso edotto di molti fenomeni curiosi e poco noti, che aveva pienamente registrato in una tra le più tenaci memorie della storia. E' celebre anche per aver in un certo modo anticipato il metodo induttivo. I due trattati qui presentati sono considerati fra i suoi più originali. In essi metteva a frutto le proprie dirette esperienze nel campo della botanica ed erboristeria, esperienze sia maturate nella sperimentazione diretta sia nella ricerca erudita di descrizioni di piante in fonti letterarie e artistiche, tanto classiche che moderne in parte mutate da Teofrasto ed Aristotele. Importante opera di botanica, farmacia ed erboristeria. Due rare edizioni. Good copies, rare. Bibliografia: I opera Pretzel 8090, II opera 8088.
