De mahad, i[d est] de dispositione seu loco, ad quem revertitur homo vel anima eius post mortem. Aphorismi de anima. De diffinitionibus & quaesitis. De divisione scientiarum. Ab Andrea Alpago Bellunensi ex arabico in latinum versa. Cum expositionibus eiusdem Andreae colectis ab auctoribus Arabicis. Venice, heirs of Lucantonio Guiunta, 1546. 8vo, 1l (bin.) + 1t + 3 + 390 + 1 + 1 + 1l (bin), with woodcut printer's device on title, repeated at colophon; a very good copy in modern stiff vellum with ties. First edition of Alpago's translation (De anima had only once appeared separately before, at Pavia in 1484, in the translation of Johannes Hispalensis and Domingo Gundisalvo). Alpago made his name through his translations of Avicenna. His eminent version of the Canon went through numerous editions, but this book and his other trnaslations appeared in one edition only. "Avicenna insisted on the Soul's individual immortality. To begin with, he held that the immaterial is incorruptible. Moreover he was convinced not only of the soul's immateriality but also of his individuality. He argued for both these points simultaneously: Wehen one refers to himself as 'I', this cannot be a reference to his body. If a man were to come into being fully mature and rational but suspended in space so that he was totally unaware of his physical circumstances, he would still be certain of one thing - his own existence as an individual self" (The encyclopedia of philosophy Die Vorlage enth. insgesamt ...

Show moreEx manuscripto edidit, ac Latina versione & notis illustravit Henricus Sike. 8vo. With title-page printed in red and black and decorated with Halma's engraved Athena and Demeter/Ceres device, a woodcut tailpiece, 3 woodcut decorative initials (3 different series) and a factotum built up from cast fleurons. With the main text in Arabic with a parallel Latin translation on the facing pages, and occasional words or lines in Greek, Hebrew and Syriac. Early 19th-century boards covered with blue paper. First edition of the apocryphal Arabic Infancy Gospel, with the Arabic text on the versos and the Latin translation on the facing rectos. Sike (or Siecke), a noted orientalist from Bremen, based his edition on a manuscript that was formerly owned by Jacobus Golius, and the many notes include exerpts from the Quran and other works. The work narrates miracle stories from the first 12 years of Jesus's life, and probably originated in the fourth or fifth century. Although scholars refer to the text as the "Arabic Infancy Gospel", it was most likely originally written in Syriac. First quires with some water stains, the title-page slightly worn and the head margin of a couple pages trimmed to (but not shaving) the running head, but still in good condition Title page printed in black and red. Title vignette: device of Halma and Van de Water, with motto "Cultior his vita est." Signatures: *-3*⁴ A-X⁴ ²A-²M⁴ (3*4 blank, P3 signed P2, ²M4 blank). "Notae in librum apocryphum de infantia Salvatoris"--[93] p. at end. "Corrigenda & addenda": final page following text. Woodcut initials, tail-piece. Editio princeps of the Arabic infancy gospel.
