Description: Basileae, 1575, FIRST EDITION, Vellum, Bound in Original Vellum. Bookplate of Lewis Austin Storrs. Quite good condition. 12mo. [32] 353, [133] pages. (A duplicate sale copy from the British Museum in 1818) . Originally had been written in the 8th century, possibly by Virgil of Salzburg, and is thought to be a practical joke by Virgil against Boniface (also known as the Apostle of the Germans, martyred in 754 A. D. ) . It has been suggested that the mysterious Latin cosmological writer who called himself "Æthicus Ister" was St. Virgil, but there is no proof of this. The name "Aethicus" probably is a pseudonym. Medieval Latin literature studies seem to indicate a very strong Irish influence in this 16th c. Latin Cosmography work. One Source portrays AETHICUS ( = ETHICUS) ISTER, "the philosopher of Istria, " the supposed but unknown author of a description of the world written in Greek. An abridgment, under the title of Cosmo-graphia Ethici, written in barbarous Latin, and wrongly described as the work of St Jerome, probably belongs to the 7th century. After a discussion of the creation of the world and a description of the earth, an account of the wonderful journeys of Aethicus is given, with digressions on various subjects, such as Alexander the Great and the kings of Rome, full of obscure and fabulous details. ; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; [32] 353, [133] pages

Midwinter, B. Lintott and W. Lewis. MDCCX. - FOLIO: (14.75" x 10") - ESTCT143095 - Pierre Bayle's Dictionnaire historique et critique stands as the supreme achievement of one of the seventeenth century's most prominent men of letters. Based in Rotterdam, Bayle animated intellectual discussion in Europe through his work as editor and author and as a prolific correspondant. Originally conceived as a response to the errors in Louis Moréri's Grand dictionnaire historique, his Dictionnaire historique et critique grew to be an exemplary work of critical methodology. The author painstakingly compiled, compared, questioned, seeking some degree of historical certainty, however small. The Bayle Dictionnaire has been called the "Arsenal of the Enlightenment", pillaged and re-edited throughout the eighteenth century by believers and sceptics alike who gathered ammunition for philosophical argument in the work's recondite notes. In addition to the eight French editions in fifty years, the Dictionnaire was translated into English (two versions, 1710, 1734-1741) and German (1741-1744). ; 4to
