ARISTOTELES (384-322 B.C.). Opera , in Greek. With works by Galen (129-199? A.D.), Theophrastus (c.370-c.287 B.C.), Philo Judaeus (c.30 B.C.-45 A.D.), Alexander Aphrodisiensis (fl. early 3rd century), and other authors. Edited by Aldus, Thomas Linacre, Justin Decadyos, Gabriel Bracius, Niccolò Leoniceno, and others. Venice: Aldus Manutius 1 November 1495-June 1498. Editio princeps of the works of Aristotle, the most important Greek-printing project of the 15th century, and the greatest achievement in Aldus's Greek publishing programme. The Aldine edition restored to posterity the works of Aristotle – central to learning in all fields except mathematics and medicine – in the pure original, free of the veil of translation. Aldus employed agents to search throughout Europe, including England, for manuscripts of the works, and gathered Greek scholars to edit them. It is also the editio princeps of all other texts included. A fine copy , with an early integrity. Many copies on the market are composite sets (the parts were also marketed separately as witnessed by Aldus’ 1498 broadside advertisement), but the present copy appears to have been together from the beginning, and certainly by the early 17th century when the Brescia Jesuits added their ownership to the title-pages. HC *1657; GW 2334; BMC V, 553, 555-6, 558; IGI 791; CIBN A-504; BSB-Ink A-698; Bod-inc A-384; Flodr 19:1 (Aristoteles); Klebs 83.1; PMM 38; Goff A-959. 5 volumes, super-chancery (301 x 208mm). Complete. Numerous woodcut floral and interlace headpieces and Greek initials, woodcut diagram in pt.I:I1r, cancel-strip on III:kk10v pasted in, quire III:.X. (containing spurious fragments) interpolated at the centre of quire pp. (Small, minor marginal repairs in first and last few leaves of vol. 1, repaired text into text without loss in II, fo.7.) 20th-century brown morocco tooled in gilt and blind, upper sides lettered, vellum endleaves, gilt edges (minor scuffing). Provenance : occasional annotations in Greek in a neat humanist hand, including a long paragraph in II: fo. 69 giving a textual variant found in Simplicius -- Brescia, Jesuit College (inscriptions in vols. 1-3, 4, pt. 2, and 5) – later pencil foliation.
