New Commentary on the Old English 'Prose Solomon and Saturn' and 'Adrian and Ritheus' Dialogues
, Brepols, 2024 Hardback, 435 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:8 tables b/w., Language: English. ISBN 9782503603278.
Summary Who was not born, was buried in his mother's womb, and was baptized after death? Who first spoke with a dog? Why don't stones bear fruit? Who first said the word 'God'? Why is the sea salty? Who built the first monastery? Who was the first doctor? How many species of fish are there? What is the heaviest thing to bear on earth? What creatures are sometimes male and sometimes female? The Old English dialogues The Prose Solomon and Saturn and Adrian and Ritheus, critically edited in 1982 by J. E. Cross and Thomas D. Hill, provide the answers to a trove of curious medieval 'wisdom questions' such as these, drawing on a remarkable range of biblical, apocryphal, patristic, and encyclopaedic lore. This volume (which reprints the texts and translations of the two dialogues from Cross and Hill's edition) both updates and massively supplements the commentary by Cross and Hill, contributing extensive new sources and analogues (many from unpublished medieval Latin question-and-answer texts) and comprehensively reviews the secondary scholarship on the ancient and medieval texts and traditions that inform these Old English sapiential dialogues. It also provides an extended survey of the late antique and early medieval genres of 'curiosity' and 'wisdom' dialogues and florilegia, including their dissemination and influence as well as their social and educational functions.

[Oeuvres de] Lucien [comprenant :] Le Songe de Lucien - Contre un homme qui l'avait appelé Prométhée - Nigrinus - Timon ou le misanthrope - L'Alcyon ou la Métamorphose - Prométhée ou le Caucase - Dialogues des Dieux - Dialogues des deux marins - Dialogues des morts - L'Histoire véritable - Dialogues des courtisanes - etc.
A Paris, chez Pierre Trabouillet, 1688. 2 vol. au format in-12 (168 x 98 mm) de 8 ff. n.fol., 346 pp. [la dernière, foliotée par erreur 446], 9 ff. n.fol. de Table in fine et 4 ff. n.fol. de catalogue éditeur in fine ; 2 ff. n.fol., 392 pp. et 10 ff. n.fol. de Table in fine. Reliures uniformes de l'époque de pleine basane brune, filet doré encadrant les plats, dos à nerfs ornés de filets gras à froid, caissons d'encadrement dorés, titre doré, tomaison dorée, roulette dorée sur les coupes, tranches dorées, dentelle intérieure dorée.
Ensemble complet de ses deux parties reliées en deux volumes. Estimée traduction de Nicolas Perrot d'Ablancourt. Natif de Syrie, Lucien inventa la forme du dialogue humoristique, entre le dialogue philosophique et la comédie. Ses dialogues les plus connus sont les Dialogues des dieux et Dialogues des morts: cette dernière œuvre inspira le Phalarismus du polémiste Ulrich von Hutten, Les Héros de roman de Boileau ainsi que les Dialogues des morts, à vocation plus morale, de Fénelon. Lucien est parfois considéré comme un des pères de l'esprit critique. En effet, loin de s'en prendre aux seuls chrétiens, il démonta toutes sortes d'impostures magico-religieuses. Son Histoire véritable où le protagoniste voyage sur la Lune est parfois considérée comme une des premières œuvres de science-fiction, même si c'est plus un conte facétieux et qu'il n'y a aucune référence scientifique. Il influença les États et empires de la Lune de Cyrano de Bergerac, le Micromégas de Voltaire. Quérard V, La France littéraire, p. 389. Angles élimés. Dos présentant un éclat altéré. Léger travail de ver affectant les reliures ; quoique davantage marqué sur l'un des premiers plats. Feuillets de contre-gardes absents. Rares rousseurs dans le texte. Du reste, bonne condition.
Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous. The Design of which Is plainly to demonstrate the Reality and Perfection of Humane Knowledge, the Incorporeal Nature of the Soul, and the Immediate Providence of a DEITY: In Opposition to Sceptics and Athei... - [THE PERCEPTUAL RELATIVITY]
London, Printed by G. James, for Henry Clements, 1713. 8vo. Contemporary marbled full calf boards, prettily rebacked in period style with gilt title-label, raised bands and gilt ornamentations to spine. During the re-backing, new end-papers have been inserted, but the original front end-paper , containing old owners' inscriptions, has been preserved and is still withbound. Three old owners' names to title-page, two of them crossed out. The title-page had been repaired at the outer margin, affecting three letters in the last three lines of the subtitle (To open a Method for rendering the/ SCIENCES more easy, useful, and/ compensious), namely the ""he"" in ""the"" and the ""d"" in ""and"" as well as part fo the double-ruled border, which has been drawn up again. The final leaf with a somewhat crode repair causing loss of some words towards the hinge. A small hole in A3, not repaired. A bit of brownspotting, mostly at beginning and end. With its flaws, still and overall acceptable copy of this extremely rare title. (10), 166 pp.
The very scarce first edition of Berkeley's other magnum opus, his great work of metaphysics, second in importance only to his ""Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge"" (1710). The present work is not only a popularized version of the ""Treatise"", though it is a fact that it was more widely studied and more easily understood - being written as an almost Platonian dialogue between Hylas (Greek for ""matter"" - thought to be the representative for John Locke) and Philonous (Greek for ""the lover of reason"" - Berkeley's spokesman) - it also constitutes a thorough and elaborated explanation of Berkeley's central ideas and the emergence of many of the principal thoughts that we now associate with him and his anti-materialist philosophy.""In this Treatise, which does not presuppose in the Reader, any Knowledge of what was contained in the former (i.e. the ""Treatise""), it has been my Aim to Introduce the Notions I advance, into the Mind, in the most easy and familiar manner" especially, because they carry with them a great Opposition to the Prejudices of Philosophers, which have so far prevailed against the common Sense and natural Notions of Mankind.If the principles, which I here endeavour to propagate, are admitted true" the Consequences which, I think, evidently flow from thence, are, that Atheism and Scepticism will be utterly destroyed, many intricate Points made plain, great Difficulties solved, several useless Parts of Science retrenched, Speculation referred to Practise, and Men reduced from Paradoxes to common Sense"" (Preface, pp. (7-8)).In the present work, Berkeley, one of the greatest thinkers of early modern philosophy, sets out to alter the direction of philosophy and set straight the boundaries of man's knowledge of himself and the world around him. He seeks to bring back man to common sense and to bring back science and knowledge to that which is essential and factual. In the present work he famously defends the idealism, because of which he is still considered one of the greatest metaphysicians ever. As his ""Treatise"" is remembered today for the famous phrase ""Esse est percipi"" - to be is to be perceived - so his ""Dialogues"" is remembered for the introduction of the perceptual relativity argument (stating that the same object can have different characteristics, e.g. shape, colour, etc., depending on the perspective of the observer, e.g. distance, angle, light, etc.). Furthermore, as Berkeley had used God in the ""Principles"" as the CAUSE or originator of our ideas of sense, in the ""Dialogues"" he brings God a very important step further, stating that our ideas must EXIST IN God when not perceived by us, thus seeing this as the warrant for the continuity of our ideas (God being unchanging). This leap (from claiming that God must cause our ideas to claiming that our ideas must exist in God) that Berkeley thus takes in the ""Dialogues"" is among the most important within his philosophy, guaranteeing continuous existence to physical objects. The work is considered the foremost representative of Berkeley's phenomenalism.""George Berkeley, Bishop of Cloyne, was one of the great philosophers of the early modern period. He was a brilliant critic of his predecessors, particularly Descartes, Malebranche, and Locke. He was a talented metaphysician famous for defending idealism, that is, the view that reality consists exclusively of minds and their ideas. Berkeley's system, while it strikes many as counter-intuitive, is strong and flexible enough to counter most objections. His most-studied works, the Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge (Principles, for short) and Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous (Dialogues), are beautifully written and dense with the sort of arguments that delight contemporary philosophers. He was also a wide-ranging thinker with interests in religion (which were fundamental to his philosophical motivations), the psychology of vision, mathematics, physics, morals, economics, and medicine. Although many of Berkeley's first readers greeted him with incomprehension, he influenced both Hume and Kant, and is much read (if little followed) in our own day."" (SEP).Berkeley published his first important philosophical work, ""Essay Toward a New Theory of Vision"" in 1709, aged 24. The book was well-received and a second edition came out later that same year. The following year he published ""A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge"" , in which he sought to lay out a complete philosophical system based on the idea that the only existing entities in the world are ideas and the mind that perceives them. The work was not very well received, however. This did not affect his search for truth, though, and he continued the outlay of his philosophical system in his ""Three Dialogues between Hylas and Philonous"", which was printed in 1713. Though neither of the two works were well received and appeared in small numbers, they are by far the most important and enduring of all of his works. The view that he presents in the ""Dialogues"" is that which he called ""immaterialism"" (now ""idealism""). He considered this anti-materialism the perfect answer to and refutation of skepticism and atheism, and his theories later became the foundation of much idealistic philosophy.""Upon the common Principles of Philosophers, we are not assured of the Existence of Things from their being perceived. And we are taught to distinguish their real Nature from that which falls under our Senses. Hence arise Scepticism and Paradoxes. It is not enough, that we see and feel, that we taste and smell a thing. Its true Nature, its absolute external Entity, is still concealed. For, tho it be the Fiction of our own Brain, we have made it inaccessible to all our Faculties. Sense is fallacious, Reason defective. We spend our Lives in doubting of those things which other Men evidently know, and believing those things which they laugh at and despise..."" (Preface, p. (6)).The first edition of this important work is very difficult to find. It was published in an edition together with the ""Treatise"" in 1734, which, though also scarce, is the edition of the work that most libraries and institutions have in their holdings, seeing that the first editions of both works are of even greater scarcity. We have only been able to locate three copies in libraries worldwide.
Entrer en philosophie La fonction psychagogique des premiers ?Dialogues? d?Augustin
, Brepols - Institut d'Etudes Augustiniennes, 2023 Paperback, 504 pages, Size:165 x 250 mm, Language(s):French, Latin. ISBN 9782851213235.
Summary Entrer en philosophie : La fonction psychagogique des premiers Dialogues d'Augustin represents the first monograph in French entirely devoted to the Cassiciacum ?Dialogues?, a transcription of Augustine's conversations with his relatives and friends in the fall of 386. The ?psychagogic function? of these ?Dialogues? manifests itself both in the positive elaboration of knowledge and, from a subjective point of view, in the journey - punctuated by doubts or spiritual progress - of the interlocutors whom we see ?entering in philosophy? (the expression is Augustine's own). Rather than separating the study of dialogical ?form? from that of philosophical and heuristic intent, the monograph has chosen a different perspective: illuminating from an organic perspective the relationships between ?dialogical fact? and ?psychagogic function?, and show that these relationships occur at different levels of the text. The ten chapters thus approach scenography; speech distribution patterns, which correspond to specific truth access patterns; trading rules; the art of disputatio; margins of interviews. The last chapters also represent a contribution to the evolution of the dialogic genre, from classical to late antiquity. Entrer en philosophie : La fonction psychagogique des premiers Dialogues d'Augustin repr sente la premi re monographie en langue fran aise enti rement consacr e aux Dialogues de Cassiciacum, retranscription d'entretiens d'Augustin avec ses familiers l'automne 386. La fonction psychagogique de ces Dialogues se manifeste la fois dans l' laboration positive d'une connaissance et, d'un point de vue subjectif, dans le cheminement - ponctu de doutes ou de progr s spirituel - des interlocuteurs que nous voyons entrer en philosophie (l'expression est d'Augustin lui-m me). Plut t que de s parer l' tude de la forme dialogique de celle de l'intention philosophique et heuristique, la monographie a choisi une perspective diff rente : clairer dans une perspective organique les relations entre la facture dialogale et la fonction psychagogique , et montrer que ces relations se manifestent diff rents niveaux du texte. Les dix chapitres abordent ainsi la sc nographie ; les mod les de distribution de la parole, lesquels correspondent des mod les sp cifiques d'acc s la v rit ; les r gles des changes ; l'art de la disputatio ; les marges des entretiens. Les derniers chapitres repr sentent galement une contribution l' volution du genre dialogique, de l'Antiquit classique l'Antiquit tardive. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Premi re partie.
