Añadir al carritoCouverture rigide. Condición: Très bon. Edition originale. In-12° relié plein vélin de l'époque 1 f. blanc, 175-(1] pages et 79-[3] pages pour le second texte. Très bel exemplaire en excellente condition. Ex-libris Jacques Laget au verso du premier plat, titre inscrit au dos à l'époque, à la plume. - - - - L'édition originale la…tine a paru en 1546 sous le titre Phaenomena, sive aeria Ephemerides, suivie de la première version française en 1547 publiée sous le titre Le Miroir du temps. Cette édition latine révisée parut au mois d'août 1554. C'est sur elle que fut établie la deuxième édition française sous le titre Les Ephemerides perpetuelles de l'air : autreme[n]t l'astrologie des rustiques. Antoine Mizauld (Montluçon, 1510-Paris, 1578) était le médecin et astrologue de Marguerite de Navarre. Il occupa une place importante dans la littérature scientifique de la Renaissance, notamment grâce à un traité de météorologie dans lequel il évoque la possibilité de prévoir le temps. Quirielle : « Il fit ses études classiques à Bourges, et ses études médicales à Paris où il reçut les leçons des meilleurs maaîtres du temps. Mizault trouva dans l'astrologie, dont il avait étudié les pratiques, en compagnie de son ami Oronce Finé, une spécialité supérieurement choisie à un époque où cette science chimérique était en grande faveur et comptait des fanatiques jusque sur les marches du trone. Aussi, sa vogue, comme médecin-mage, fut-elle extraordinaire. » Traité en quatre parties, Les ephemerides perpetuelles de l'air permettent de connaître, interpréter et prévoir les phénomènes atmosphériques comme a pluie, de la rosée, du frimas, de la neige, des vents et de leur connaissance chez les marins, du tonnerre, de l'éclair, de la foudre, du gel, des tempêtes. La dernière partie contient aussi une section sur la prédiction d'arrivée des comètes, tremblements de terre. « L'année 1524 marque en France le début de l'immense succès de l'astrométéorologie. (?) Dès lors, de la La grande pronostication des laboureurs à la Révélation du Saint prophète Edras jusqu'aux travaux d'Oronce Fine ou d'Antoine Mizauld, l'astrométéorologie développe ses thèmes dans les almanachs, les éphémerides et pronostications annuelles avec un succès croissant dont il est possible d'avoir une idée par la lecture des journaux et des livres de raison qui se font l'écho de l'imprégnation des esprits par les prévisions astrométéorologiques. (?) En effet, l'astrométéorologie participe à la diffusion d'un modèle d'explication des événements météorologiques qui permet non seulement leur compréhension partielle mais aussi leur prévison scientifique. (?) Comme l'héritage aristotélicien, l'astrologie apporte à la compréhension des phénomènes atmosphériques, non seulement des sources dignes de considération, mais aussi une véritable méthode de prévision ; le mot est d'Antoine Mizauld, qui en donne l'un des meilleurs exemples avec le Mirouer du temps (?) De cet héritage émergent un certain nombre de principes qui délimitent le champ d'investigations de l'astrométéorologie et organisent sa démarche : l'air d'une nature insaisissable traverse toutes choses et les altère. Cette transmuance, encore un mot de Mizauld, en fait un instrument sensible aux influences astrales comme aux messages divins. (?) Certains textes à l'exemple du Mirouer du temps encouragent l'observation individuelle comme un certain esprit critique. Mais si l'auteur du Miroir du Temps dissocie clairement la possibilité de prévoir le temps à venir et celle d'interpréter les événements climatiques en fonction de l'histoire humaine, il ne craint pas pourtant d'affirmer sa vive croyance en les capacités de l'esprit humain à lire l'avenir dans le changeant Tableau des merveilles que constitue pour lui l'atmosphère. » [Le Prado-Madaule Danielle. L'astrométéorologie : influence et évolution en France. In: Histoire, économie et société. 1996, 15e année, n°2. pp. 179-20 .Brunet, III, 1779 ; Caillet, II, 7614 ; Poggendorff, II, 163 (édition latine de 1547) ; Quirielle, p. 158, n° II.

Añadir al carritoSoftcover. Condición: Fair. Two related, and likely printed simultaneously, works of Antonio Mizauld, defining correlations between celestial movements and their effects on health for the year 1555. The first book is mostly monthly tables, for 1555, relating health to movements of the heavens. The second work is an explanation,…providing the user/reader a reference guide to the first work. It was likely printed with a separate title page and collation so that purchasers could re-use the second book in future years, needing to only buy updated tables. Provenance - The title page has an old faded inscription; under black light, and with light from the back (to see through the repair) it seems to say, "Contremarq (?). A le Coq". Since the printer was located at the sign of the two roosters, it seems that this is an inscription from the printer verifying that this was sold at the shop; perhaps this was a method for fighting illegal printings. The ticket of the Harvard astronomer and historian of science, Owen Gingerich, is found on the front endpapers. Notes on the rarity of the work are under the ticket, indicating he wrote them. Bibliographic Details - Ephemeris. 1555, Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC) number 151790, 6 copies recorded in the world's libraries; two in France, three in Italy and one at Corpus Christi Oxford. Explicatio et Usus Coelestis, Universal Short Title Catalogue (USTC) number 151800, 8 copies recorded in the world's libraries. Worldcat OCLC catalogue numbers 22915194 and 22915576 Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 17 x 12 x 1 cm. Limp vellum binding. Printer's mark of unicorn on both title pages. Both works have tables of information. Not paginated. Collation - A-C8, D4, a-e8. Collates complete. Condition - See pictures. Vellum with light waviness and some stain marks; on rear board is a sewn repair (old). Binding ties are missing with pinholes where they were tacked on. Small chip at top of spine. The pastedowns are lifted, exposing the back of the vellum and the ties. Edges of blank unpaginated endpapers damaged. Ex libris ticket on one endpaper, with "very rare, not in NVC, BN, or BL; Paris (obs?) only". Title page edge damage repaired in an amateur way (older restoration). Very faded inscription on title page, and darkening and stain. Throughout text block toning and occasional fox spot. Also, occasional page edge chip, dog-eared corner, thumbing, candle-ember mark, etc.

Añadir al carritoFirst edition, in the original Latin, of what proved an extremely popular work: 900 medical and other "secrets", including information on astrology, gardening, cosmetics and other subjects, arranged in nine numbered chapters, each containing 100 numbered prose "aphorisms". Like most books of secrets it offers a mixture of scienc…e and superstition gathered from a wide variety of ancient and modern sources, many of them named in the aphorisms, and its medicinal recipes served in turn as sources for other authors internationally. It is a beautiful little piece of book production, with finely engraved woodcut decorated initials and headpieces, excellent presswork and the main text set in a lovely Granjon St Augustin (86 mm/20 lines) italic.Mizauld (1510-1578) was a professor of medicine at the University of Paris and astrologer and physician to Margaret of Valois. Mizauld thought the poor often fell prey to greedy apothecaries, so he presented them with remedies they could often grow in their own gardens or gather in the wild. It was an entirely different work from the Memorabilium aliquot . that Mizauld had published in 1554, but succeeded to and expanded on his Arcanorum naturae sylvula (1555). With occasional contemporary and later manuscript notes and an 18th-century(?) library stamp on the title-page (partly erased), not affecting the printed image. With 1 leaf nearly detached, a water stain in the last 5 quires, and occasional (mostly marginal) slight browning or minor stains, but still generally in good condition. With the sewing supports broken at the front hinge and minor damage to the headbands, but binding otherwise good.l Brüning 369; Durling 3178 note & 3187 note; Rosenthal, Bibliotheca Magica, 2987 (incompl.); Thorndike VI, p. 216; USTC 158149; Wellcome 4362. 17th-century(?) limp sheepskin parchment, sewn on 3 tanned leather supports, with remains of 2 pair of alum tawed ties. With Morel's woodcut tree device on the title-page, 2 woodcut headpieces and 7 woodcut decorated initials (plus 3 repeats), the headpieces and initials in an unusually delicate design, finely executed, the initial A printed from two different but very similar blocks. Set in italic types with the preliminaries in roman, and incidental Greek. Pages: [16], 136 pp.
