Show moreThis treatise by Macrobius is a commentary in two books on the Somnium Scipionis narrated by Cicero at the end of his De re publica. The nature of the dream, in which the elder Scipio appears to his adopted grandson, and describes the life of the good after death and the constitution of the universe from the Stoic point of view. Macrobius also discourses upon many points of physics in a series of essays which show the astronomical notions then current. The moral elevation of the fragment of Cicero gave this work a great popularity in the Middle Ages and was the most widely read Latin compendium of Neoplatonism of the 5th century A.D. This treatise includes one map on p. 154 [i.e. 144] where Europe, Africa and Asia are shown in the upper hemisphere as totally separated from a great southern continent [i.e. Antipodum Nobis Incognita] occupying the lower hemisphere by an intervening great ocean [i.e. Alveus Oceani]. He further labels his map with climatic zones according to the theory of Parmenides (as also more graphically shown on p. 119): two zones close to the poles subject to frigid air [i.e. frigida], either side of the equator a torrid zone [i.e. perusta] and between these two moderate or temperate zones [i.e. temperata]. Decoratively, he has 14 winds blowing across the globe. In the 'Saturnalia', an account of discussions held at the house of Vettius Praetextatus during the feast of the Saturnalia, Macrobius discusses the choice and proper use of food and drink, describing the courses at a banquet with their appropriate wines. Book 5 includes substantial text in Greek. Printer's device on t.p. ; initial. Some pages incorrectly numbered.

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 ...
