作品描述：
ARISTOTELES (384–322 BCE).
De animalibus. Translated by Theodorus Gaza. Edited by Sebastianus Manilius. Venice: Johannes and Gregorius de Gregoriis, 18 November 1492.
Second edition of the first printed text on biology.
De animalibus comprises Aristotle’s three main zoological works:
De historia animalium,
De partibus animalium and
De generatione
animalium. They formed the first collection of biological treatises ever printed when the first edition appeared at Venice in 1476. None of these texts were included in the
Opera until the Aldine Greek edition of 1495–98. They contain ‘an immense collection of biological data – anatomical, physiological, behavioral – on over five hundred species of animals’ (Grolier,
Medicine). Theodorus Gaza was a leading Classical scholar, and it was through studying his translation of the present texts, along with the Greek originals printed in the Aldine
Opera, that Aldus Manutius recommended learning Greek. The fine full-page border opening the text also appeared in Boccaccio’s
Decameron, printed by the same printers in June of the same year. HC(Add) *1700; BMC V 343; BSB-Ink A-679; Bod-inc A-391;Essling 677; GW 2351; Goff A-974; Klebs 85.2; ISTC ia00974000.
Chancery folio (299 × 213mm). 112 leaves. Woodcut border, initial spaces with guide-letters, printer’s device at end (woodcut border just shaved, minor marginal worming, light dampstain at gutter at lower edge not touching text, some light marginal stains). 16th-century binding re-using early 13th-century French vellum leaves from a patristic text over thin pasteboard, manuscript title on spine (stained, worn at spine ends, evidence of fore-edge ties); modern custom quarter morocco clamshell box.
Provenance: ‘Vaspach Buch Car.ta’ (inscription dated 1532 on title-page; previously recorded as ‘Gaspar B’) – early intermittent marginalia and underlining – William Foyle (bookplate; his sale, Christie's, 11 July 2000, lot 111).
