FIRST DUBLIN PRINTING OF SIR THOMAS MORE'S UTOPIA.
Thomas More's Utopia is a work of satire, indirectly criticizing Europe's political corruption and religious hypocrisy. In Utopia the Utopians have eliminated wealth, the nobility, private property, and currency. Labour and goods are distributed equally. Property is held in common. Everyone works the same hours and even though the rulers are exempt from public labour, they work to set a good example for the others. Work hours are equally distributed and there are no monasteries, convents, alehouses, or academies wherein an individual might withdraw from the rest of society. All… Read More

Description:
1547 LAW Andrea Alciati Commentary on Justinian Codex Catholic & Byzantine FOLIO

"Plenitudo potestatis nihil aliud est quam violentia." (The fullness of power is nothing more than violence).
― Andrea Alciati

Andrea Alciati was a 16th-century Italian author who is best known for his famed book of Emblemata. And while his emblems brought him recognition, he also published an important annotated commentary on Justinian's 'Codex'. During his study of law in Bourges, Alciati began writing 'Ad Rescripta Principum Commentarii'.

'Codex', part of 'Corpus Juris Civilis', was the Justinian's attempt at organizing the laws in a systematic manner. Recognizing that the law system needed to be fixed, 'Codex' covers ecclesiastical law, criminal and civil law, the way laws were written and put into effect, duties of government officials, and proper administrative regulations.

This 1547 edition is notable for being the last edition published during Alicati's lifetime.

1790 1ed Mably Rights of Man Duties Citizen Philosophy French Revolution 8v SET
Gabriel Bonnot de Mably was a French philosopher and historian who is most-known for his diplomatic writings and letters. He wrote works on the history of the Greeks, Romans, Polish, French, early United States history, Phoenicians, and much, much more. This 1790 set of the complete works of Mably was printed in eight distinct tomes with all 21 volumes.
This set also includes Mably's most important work 'The Rights of Man and Duties of Citizens'. In this work, Mably warned France against events that would later develop during the French Revolution! Many of the concepts found in this work would contribute to what would be communism, though his writings were aimed toward and appealed to the poor.

Description:
1545 DUTCH & French Mysticism Margarita Evangelica of Eschius Mary I Feminism
Nicolas van Esch (or van Ess) was a 16th-century Dutch theologian known for his spiritual exercises and philosophical writings on mysticism. This extremely rare, 1545 printing of Eschius's 'Margarita Evangelica' was published in Cologne by Novesiani. This book is a Eschius's perspective on the divine wisdom found in the Gospel. According to Davis and Farge's "A History of Women in the West", this work
"was among the most important precursors to French mysticism".
Curiously, this work comes with some controversy, particularly the authorship. Some scholars believe it is a reworking of Reinalda van Eymeren's "Evangelische Peerle", which first appeared in 1535, though the USTC makes the authorship undeniably Eschius. Because of the relationship to female mystics, this work was regularly found in women's religious houses, most famously in the library of Queen Mary I of England (Schutte, p.134).
According to the USTC, no examples… Read More

1713 LAW 1ed Gibson Codex Juris Anglicani Church England HUGE FOLIOS Anglican
Edmund Gibson was an early 18th-century British bishop who is best known for his writings on ecclesiastical law. One of his best works was his 1713 'Codex Juris ecclesiastici Anglicani", or 'Code of Anglican Law'. In the years leading to this work, Gibson argued for the rights of archbishops many of which were called into question during the reign of William and Anne.
According to Hugh Chisolm, this book
"discusses more comprehensively than any other, the legal rights and duties of the English clergy"
It also covers church constitutions, Anglican canons, and articles and liturgy of the Church of England.
