Original Wraps. Zustand: Good. Für Städter und Landleute Neueste Ausflage Erster[-Dritter] Theil [First-Third Part]. Original Wraps. Albertus Magnus (c. 1200-15 November 1280), also known as Saint Albert the Great or Albert of Cologne, was a German Dominican friar, philosopher, scientist, and bishop. Later canonized as a Catholic saint, he was known during his lifetime as Doctor universalis and Doctor expertus and, late in his life, the sobriquet Magnus was appended to his name. Scholars such as James A. Weisheipl and Joachim R. Söder have referred to him as the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages. One of the most cited books and influences of the Pennsylvania Dutch system of braucherei healing and folk magic. The history and printing of the books are somewhat trivial. Most likely written in the 18th century for practical uses and heavily influenced Georg Hohman's "Long Lost Friend." "In most cases extra-cultural elements serve a particular function, while indulging a sense of exoticism. Some materials attributed to the Romani people (falsely believed to have come from Egypt) are thought to have great ceremonial and magical power, whereas texts or sources derived from Hebrew are believed to carry with them a sense of ancient biblical authority and power. At the same time, objectification goes both ways, and can even become a means to condemn: some have blamed the diversity of early Pennsylvanian Christian ritual practices on the latent presence of a pagan or heathen frame of mind, and while there is a level of truth to the ancient precedents and origins of many religious practices, certainly both official and folk forms of religion maintain some measure of this ancient influence." This text which provides remedies and rituals for the purpose of healing, as well as a lengthy introduction pertaining to the use of ritual to counteract the works of the devil and his servants."--Patrick Donmoyer. Highly doubtful these 18th and 19th century texts were written by the scholar St. Magnus, however, the depth of fascination and practical use is unquestionable. Light to moderate shelfwear to extremities, slight dampstaining in gutter, toning and foxing throughout, open tears on a few leaves, creasing and folded tp, else tight, bright, and unmarred, despite age and paper quality.

Full Vellum. Zustand: Very Good+. [Later Edition]. [Later Edition]. Full Vellum. (On the secrets of women), an immensely popular work which was published many times during the 15th, 16th, and 17th centuries, sometimes separately and sometimes in compilations such as this, which also contains "De mirabilibus mundi" as well as, "De secretis naturae" by Michael Scotus [Contiene: Michaelis Scoti, Rerum naturalium perscrutatoris prooemium, in secreta naturae]. The works attributed to Albertus Magnus were not written by him, but by followers who drew (sometimes faultily) from his work. Suggested authors have been Thomas of Brabant and Henry of Saxony, but they have since been ruled out. "Michaëlis Scoti rerum naturalium perscrutatoris procemium, in secreta naturae": p. 224-366. The 1643 Amsterdam edition of the "misogynist masterpiece" The Secrets of Women, an influential and widely disseminated work of natural philosophy that laid the intellectual foundations for early modern witch persecutions (Cabre, review of Women's Secrets in ISIS volume 85, no 3, 1994). The publisher of this edition was Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664), Willem Blaeu's main rival in map publishing, and it includes an engraved title depicting the mythological figure Callisto, in labour and appealing to the goddess Artemis. Long attributed to Albertus Magnus, De Secretis was probably composed by one of his followers during the late 13th or early 14th century, and survives in around 83 manuscript copies, of which 50 were printed in the 15th century and over 70 in the 16th (Lemay, Women's Secrets. A Translation of Pseudo-Albertus Magnus's De Secretis Mulierum with Commentaries, p. 1). Though the contents cover what we would now consider obstetrics and gynaecology, including menstruation, spermatogenesis, conception, fetal development, and infertility, the text is not a practical medical manual but a philosophical exploration of the human body and its relation to the cosmos. As a follower of Albertus Magnus, the treatise's author "believed that the study of nature as perceived through sense experience and then analyzed in a rational manner forms a single discipline through which we come to comprehend the universe in its corporeal aspects. Human reproduction, a main subject of this treatise, is one of these aspects, that nevertheless has repercussions for our understanding of the entire cosmos" (Lemay, p. 3). De Secretis was most likely "designed to be used within a religious community as a vehicle for instructing priests in natural philosophy, particularly as it pertains to human generation. A strong subtext of the Secrets, however, is the evil nature of women and the harm they can cause to their innocent victims: young children and their male consorts. Clearly then, another purpose of this treatise is to malign the female sex, a tradition that extends back in Christianity to second-century misogynist writings" (Lemay, p. 16). Among the concepts that the text popularized were the idea that women's menstrual blood was poisonous, that post-menopausal women (especially those who were poor) were more "venomous" because they could no longer expel the toxins, and that women were inherently lascivious beings with a physiological need to absorb the heat and life force of men. "It is these misogynistic ideas about women's sexuality that seeded their demonization in the years that followed, as the Secrets served as a direct source for the Malleus maleficarum. Indeed, the most famous statement from the Malleus explicitly connects witchery with ideas about women's sexuality rooted in the medieval period: 'All witchcraft comes from carnal lust, which is in women insatiable'" (McLemore, "Medieval Sexuality, Medical Misogyny, and the Makings of the Modern Witch", blog of the University of Notre Dame's Medieval Studies Institute, October 30, 2020).--AlemicBooks. Originally written in Latin, the title translates as The Secrets of Women or Of the Secrets of Women. Drawing on Hippocratic, Galenic, and Aristotelian theories, this text.…
