1675 Don Quixote de la Mancha Cervantes Thomas Shelton English FOLIO Chivalry
"One of those universal works which are read by all ages at all times."
– Printing and the Mind of Man, on 'Don Quixote'
Miguel de Cervantes's 'Don Quixote' is one of the most famous works of literature and is one of the most popular adventure tales to be written. It was first translated into English in 1612 by Thomas Shelton who, according to Chisholm, created a "racy, spirited rending of the original" even though it was initially filled with translation errors. However, the DNB states that Shelton's translation "realizes Cervantes' manner more nearly than any successor". It should be noted that Shelton's English was not only the first English translation but the first translation of 'Don Quixote' in any language!
The Shelton edition was published again in 1652, on which this 1675 third edition was fully based. Both parts printed in one tome as originally intended by Scot and Basset. Thomas Shelton's English was the standard English printing of this work for more than 120 years until Charles Jervas' translation appeared.

Along with Juvenal, Persius was one of the greatest 1st century Roman satirists. His works consisted of elements of stoicism and were greatly influenced by Horace and Juvenal, in fact the satires of both Juvenal and Persius are often found published together. In his 'Satires', Persius sought a few major philosophical ideas:
·
important questions to ask the gods
·
the meaning of life
·
the importance of gaining knowledge
·
freedom through Stoicism
·
the proper use of money
This 1507 post-incunable printing of Persius's 'Satyrae' was published in Paris by Jean Barbier and Denis Roce. This edition was edited by Giovanni Britannico, a 15th-century grammarian who is best known for his edition of Persius.
This book is bound with another early Roce printing of Baptista Mantuanus poetry. Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant… Read More

However, he did not write exclusively of church theology. He also wrote on the development of time and ideas of cosmology.

Roger Long was an 18th-century English astronomer from Cambridge. While little is known of his life, he is certainly best-known for his book 'Astronomy' – a thorough treatise studying all aspects of astronomy. In this treatise, Long covers the surface and phases of the moon, planetary orbits, the rings of Saturn, comets and meteors, behavior of sunlight, the zodiac and astrological signs, as well as the importance of astronomy on navigation.
While the contents of this book are extensive, the full-page and folding engravings set this work apart from other astronomy texts of this era.
