In nuce sind hier alle wesentlichen Aspekte des neuen Geschichtsverständnisses der Renaissance enthalten. Im Rückgriff auf italienische Vorlagen wird hier der Versuch unternommen, den pädagogischen Wert der Geschichte für den einzelnen wie für die Gemeinschaft systematisch zu begründen. Dieses Werk darf als vielleicht wichtigstes explizites Zeugnis für die Wirksamkeit und Aktualität humanistischer Geschichtsanschauung in der Blütezeit der englischen Renaissance sowie als anschauliches Dokument für das allgemeine humanistische Vertrauen in den pädagogischen Wert der Geschichte als,magistra vitae" gelten. Der vorliegende Band bietet erstmals eine wissenschaftlich eingeleitete, mit dem Original seiten- und zeilengleiche sowie mit einem ausführlichen Kommentar versehene Edition dieses seltenen und nur schwer zugänglichen Werkes."

A handsome copy of this most interesting work in fine contemporary calf, the third edition. Thomas Blundeville (c. 1522 c. 1606) was an English humanist writer and mathematician. He is known for work on logic, astronomy, education and horsemanship, as well as for translations from the Italian; he freely adapted a number of the works he translated. "Born in Norfolk, Blundeville has been comparatively ignored by historians of science and technology: he seems to have been educated at Cambridge : Later he is associated with Gresham college and the group that included Henry Briggs, . William Gilbert, . Edward Wright, and William Barlow, the later two both instrument makers who wrote on navigation. Along with his contemporaries at Gresham, Blundeville was one of several 'mathematical practitioners' . who often took up residence in London as they sought to make a living either through commercial publication, private instruction, patronage, consultation on state sponsored projects, or instrument making. Blundeville demonstrates considerably broader range that other practitioners of the period, however, and in this he is somewhat atypical of technical writers. .The increasing conceptual proximity between practical and productive modes of knowledge and the growing extension of deliberative thinking that we find in Harvey . is also visible in other sixteenth -century dialectic textbooks, particularly those written in the vernacular such as Thomas Blundeville's 'Arte of Logicke'. Blundeville observes Aristotle's definition of the five modes of intellect, 'Intelligence, Science, Prudence, Art, and Sapience'. . As he continues, however, Blundeville follows Aristotle in reducing these five modes of intellect to two - the practical and the theoretical . his 'Art of Logicke' uses arithmetical and geometrical concepts of proportion to explain ratiocinative procedures in logic and even illustrates them with geometrical diagrams." Henry S. Turner . 'The English Renaissance Stage: Geometry, Poetics'. "Thomas Bludeville's the arte of logicke, 1599, illustrates the share that logic could have in the teaching of expression, and of how different from ours were the presuppositions and methods of that teaching. Blundeville, following an earlier sixteenth-century logician, is showing the different 'proofs' that can be adduced in 'respecte of the 'theame or proposition' man ought to embrace virtue .Whether or not he learnt any logic, a schoolboy carrying out an exercise of this kind would be extending his skill in the precise control of language." Ian Michael. 'The Teaching of English: From the Sixteenth Century to 1870'. A lovely copy of this rare work ESTC S102667. STC 3144.

Bound to style in modern blindstamped brown calf with giltstamped red spine label and sparsely gilt spine. Early edition of the first comprehensive book in the English language about the care, breeding, and riding of horses.

Some 17th- or 18th-c. ink annotations. Blundevill(e) (1522-1606) was, according to the Arabian Jockey Club, "one of the founders of the thoroughbred industry." He originally translated Gisone's "Gli Ordini di Cavalcare" (1550) as "The Art of Rydynge" (1560), which was the first modern treatise on classical dressage and later incorporated as one of the chapters of this book. First published in 1565/66; all editions published prior to 1650 are considered uncommon. - DNB V, 271.

First edition. First edition. Six parts in one. A-Z8Aa-Vvt8 Yy6. 3 folding woodcut and/or printed plates/tables, woodcut illustrations and diagrams, including 4 with volvelles (at ff. 145, 151 [misnumbered 149], 338v and 350), A1 blank except for printed signature "A" (and old inscriptions). 4to. An important book in the history of navigation. "Here for the first time the modern forms of the trigonometric functions of sine, tangent and secant were published in English" (Tomash & Williams). The six parts comprise Treatise of arithmetic; The first principles of cosmographie; A plaine description of Mercator and his two globes; Petrus Plancius his universall map; Plaine description of Maister Blagrave his astrolabe; A new and necessarie treatise of navigation. "Thomas Blundeville's Excercises . gave convincing proof that all the business of learning navigation now started with a grounding in mathematics and finished up with acquiring a knowledge of astronomy and an even wider knowlege of charts, maps, globes, astrolabes and other instruments and their use; between its fat covers, his Exercises, dealt with all these subjects for the benefit of 'young gentlemen' who would be navigators. Its contents afford a remarkable contrast to what was available on the subject to Englishmen only forty years before. A most useful feature were tables of trigonometrical functions natural sines, tangents and secants. They were indeed the first published in England and their publication in the convenient quarto form was to transform within a few years the manner in which seamen solved many navigational problems. Blundeville's Exercises of 1594 epitomizes the intellectual revolution that had occurred amongst Englishmen since the first English oceanic expedition had been prepared and sailed in 1553 [Sir Hugh Willoughby's expedition in search of a northeast passage from England to China]" (Waters, English Navigational Books, Charts and Globes Printed Down to 1600, pp. 255-6). Of particular note within the work is a summary of the voyage of Sir Francis Drake and his use of the Molyneaux globe (f. 242v), as well as the voyage of Thomas Cavendish (244r). In addition, within a lengthy section on Plancius's world map, Blundeville includes descriptions of China (255v) and the South Pole (271v). The first edition is scarce. Only two other copies have appeared at auction in the last half century: the DuPont-Frank Streeter copy (Dupont sale, Christies, $3520 in 1991; Frank Streeter sale, Christie's, $20,400 in 2007) and another, lacking the preliminary leaf, selling for $6240 at Swann in 2006. The work proved popular, with new editions following this first edition in 1597, 1606, 1613, 1622, and 1636.

With moveable volvelles on leaves 315, 720, 744. London, 1636: Printed by Richard Bishop, and are to be sold by Benjamin Allen at the signe of the Flowerdeluce in Popes-head Alley. The seventh edition, corrected and somewhat enlarged by Ro. Hartwell philomathematicus, Contemporary calf, rebacked. A very important book in the history of navigation The Exercises described the world map of Petrus Plancius, Molyneaux s large terrestrial globe, being the first globe to be made in England, the works of John Balgrave, Gemma Frisius, and the cross-staff of Thomas Hood. He first published his Exercises in six parts, containing a brief account of arithmetic, cosmography, the use of the globes, a universal map, the astrolabe, and navigation. The arithmetic is taken from Recorde, but to it are added trigonometrical tables (copied from Clavius) of the natural sines, tangents, and secants of all angles in the first quadrant; the difference between consecutive angles being one minute. These are worked out to seven places of decimals. This is the earliest English work in which plane trigonometry is introduced. Later editions including this 1636 edition (from 1613 onwards) showed the circumnavigations of Francis Drake and Thomas Cavendish. His circle of friends included Sir Nicholas Bacon and mathematicians and astronomers including John Dee, Edward Wright, Henry Briggs and William Gilbert.
