A very good, entirely unsophisticated copy in contemporary limp vellum with ties, a little crinkled and soiled. First collective edition of these works in their first French translation; seperately published in 1574 and 1575. The treatise establishes some of the main themes of the late sixteenth and seventeenth-century Protestant demonology. One of the most salient of those features was a heavy reliance on scripture. This biblicism is evident in Daneau's argument . that to claim that witches were victims of melancholy was tantamount to the blasphemous denial of the biblical statement that the demoniacs whom Christ cured were also only melancholics and not possessed by demons. A second Protestant theme .was that the increase in the number of witches was related to the prevalence of superstition and false religion that the Reformation was endeavouring to dispel. .Calvinists claimed that the age of miracles had ended in biblical times and that magic performed by witches through the power of the devil consisted of nothing more than wonders. Daneau makes this point in his treatise and he also presents the argument . that the Devil, despite his great power, could only work within the laws of nature. One of the effects of this line of thought was to make the crime of witchcraft primarily a spiritual offence, consisting in the pact wth the Devil. Brian P. Levack . 'The Witchcraft Sourcebook.' Daneau states "There are four main reason why people choose to become 'slaves to Satan': distrust in God, vanity, poverty and power. The most likely sort to fall under his sway are the 'country men, ignorant and poor people,' as well as those who are proud of mind, or those in search of knowledge, 'being desirous to know things to come and fortell them to others . by which means many of the honourable and learned sort are seduced by Satan.'" Lizanne Henderson. 'Witchcraft and Folk Belief in the Age of Enlightenment' The second work is a most interesting treatise on games; specifically of cards and dice. "In Chapter 6 of the 1586 translation, Daneau specifies which types of games should be permitted for play among Christians. Games of pure chance, he says, should be forbidden while games of mixed chance and skill are allowable. Further on in his treatise (Ch. 9) Daneau provides some explicit reasons why he considered games of chance to be inappropriate for Christians. His first argument is that engaging in games of chance violates the third commandment not to take the name of God in vain. Daneau bases this conclusion on the assumption that God determines the outcome of a randomized event; to use randomizers for trifling matters such as gaming is to profane the majesty and power of God."

Third and last edition of this important and interesting treatise on dancing by the renowned Protestant theologian Lambert Daneau, first published in Geneva in 1579, giving tremendous insight into attitudes to the the forms and nature of dancing in the C16th. The author refutes all arguments in favour of dancing which he associates with the work of Satan. It commences with three sonnets condemning dancing and a dedication to the protestant King of Navarre, later Henry IV. Daneau was a close follower of Calvin in his attitude to dancing. "Nor did the campaign to suppress dancing end with Calvin, for in 1579, fifteen years after his death, we find a lengthy treatise on the subject published in Geneva by Lambert Daneau. The book was offered, in the name of the Ministers of the Reformed Church to the King of Navarre. The preface describes the moral disorder which, partly as the result of the religious wars, reigns in the protestant communities of the day; amongst the evils most rampant are gambling and dancing. The latter, in particular, the author declares, has been much defended by its supporters who, instead of accepting the recommendations of their ministers, persist in putting forward all kinds of arguments in its favour. It is clearly hoped that the 'Traité des Danses' will be accepted as a final convincing refutation of these protestations, for "nous condamnons les danses, & desirons de les bannir entierement du milieu de nous" We are accordingly treated to a very full exposition of the Calvinist attitude towards dancing and, to a lesser extent, of the arguments traditionally advanced in its defence. In the first place, Daneau specifies that the dances he is attacking are not the sincerely religious dances mentioned in the Bible, but the kind currently practised . .What particularly offends and disturbs the Calvinists in contemporary dancing is the fact that it is 'mixed'. Such dancing, asserts Daneau, is wholely the invention of the Devil who, under the cloak of pleasurable entertainment, kindles the lecherous desires of men and women. Light and salacious conversation is pernicious enough; but when the bodies come into such close contact, it is but a small step to the final perdition of the soul. Every dance offers opportunities for caresses and increases the dancers lustfulness. The gay atmosphere helps to foster this abandonment of all restraint, and not only the dancers, but also the onlookers, are in spiritual danger. In addition, all kinds of instruments, designed for a nobler purpose, are used to present the devilish poison the more temptingly. Nor is that all; for the dances are as a rule accompanied by lewd songs." H. P. Clive. 'The Calvinists and the question of dancing in the C16th century.' A beautifully bound copy very much in the style of 'dentelle bindings' done in the atelier de Luc-Antoine Boyet, though the tools used here do not exactly match the tools tools used in his atelier.  From the library of the American, bibliophile, philanthropist and feminist Grace Whitney Hoff. The contemporary autograph could perhaps be that of the French printer Gabriel Buon. USTC 10115. Barbier IV p. 776. Not in Gay or Erdmann.…

First Edition in English. 189 x 134 mm. (7 3/8 x 5 1/4"). [4], 87, [1] leaves (with foliation errors, but complete).Translated from the Latin by Thomas Twyne. Retrospective half pigskin over marbled boards, raised bands, red morocco label. Title with woodcut ornament, head- and tailpieces, many decorative initials. Printed in black letter. Front pastedown with Macclesfield bookplate for the South library; title with inscription in ink "Dulcius ex ipso fonte bibuntur aquae" ["Sweetly the waters have been drunk from the fountain itself"] and with the initials "D. Fl." (see below); a couple of contemporary annotations in ink (one slightly shaved); numerous marginal readers' marks in ink and pencil. STC 6231; ESTC S105155. Paper a shade or two less than bright, title somewhat soiled, a dark stain affecting the upper corner of ff. 24-28 (touching text but all is legible); still, an overall very good, clean copy in a pleasing new binding. This is the first appearance in English of Daneau's 1576 "Physica Christiana," the foundational work of "Mosaic physics," which attempted to reconcile the account of creation in Genesis with scientific knowledge of the natural world in order to create a "Christian natural philosophy." Though obviously theological in origin, "Christian Physics" is nevertheless substantially a work of natural history, generally adopting the Aristotelian worldview then prevalent. The first of two parts is a disquisition on creation, a long Socratic dialogue on the meaning of the opening chapters of Genesis. The second part, which occupies a good deal more than two-thirds of the volume, is a broader treatise on nature, including discussion of such things as light and shadow, meteors, the rainbow, thunder, precious stones, glass, gold, various trees, stars and planets, fish, birds, elephants, foxes, and many more topics. A Calvinist theologian forced into itinerancy because of his incautiously expressed opinions, Daneau (1530-95) produced a considerable number of books, mostly commentaries on the Bible and controversial works written against Lutherans and Catholics alike. Our copy has a couple of curious contemporary marginal annotations. On the verso of fo. 2, at the beginning of the second chapter, someone noted "Five / [s]peciall / [copie?]s of na- / [tu]rall phi- / [lo]sophye." And at the head of fo. 39 (mis-numbered 40] recto is the inscription "Sr. Walter Rawley Laureatus poeta May 4 anno reg. Eliz. 39 anno dom. 1598." There is nothing in Raleigh's biography that can account for his being mentioned as poet laureate in 1598; in that period, he was occupied in naval pursuits against the Spanish armada. It has been suggested that our copy was once owned by scholar and translator Andrew Hartwell (1553-1606), a bibliophile who sometimes used the Latin motto which appears on the title page here and who marked passages in his books with the floret-like squiggle seen here on ff. 3-12. At the same time, the "D. Fl." inscription on the title page resembles the ownership mark used by the celebrated 17th century bibliophile, antiquary politician, and magistrate Sir Daniel Fleming (1633-1701). Later, the book was securely located in the great library of the earls of Macclesfield, which was sold in 12 sales at Sotheby's (from 16 March, 2004, to 2 October, 2008) for some £22 million (at the time approximately $40 million). The library was dispersed when the 9th Earl Macclesfield, Richard Timothy George Mansfield Parker (b. 1943), who was described by the "Independent" as leading an "unconventional lifestyle," was forced to leave his 14th century Shirburn Castle after a protracted family dispute. Called by the paper "a sleeping beauty," his crenellated home had a moat, a drawbridge and, at the time of the Earl's departure, a repair bill of approximately £2.6 million. Despite the building's dilapidation, the books in the very large library were distinguished for being uniformly well preserved, were almost always in their original bindings, and were a sensa.…
