‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE --- Traduction (du latin en français) par l'Abbé PICOT ---- "The principia philosophia contains Descartes'famous vortex theory by which he tried to reconcile Copernican astronomy with biblical teaching. It also contains the first scientific theory of magnetism". "The most comprehensive of all Descartes'works. Dedicated to the Princess Elizabeth, its three treatises embrace the whole of his philosophy, with the exception of the moral. Descartes'design in this treatise was the elaboration of a general theory which would account for the creation and the structur of the world. At the outset he scorfully rejected the whole apparatus of qualitates occultae, employed so freely by the scholastics, and in its place he tried to substitute a rational explanation of the phenomena of nature grounded upon human intelligence and erected upon the mathematical model. In this way he indicated the only solid path ever pursued by physical science, namely, its reduction to the laws of mathematics... On account of its intelligible assuptions, the theory established by Descartes withstook for more than a century all efforts to dislodge it. Fundamentally it assumed all space to be filled with matter, and this, having been endowed in the beginning with motion, has in course of time fallen into a series of vortices in which the sun and the fixed stars, the heavens and the earth, planets and comets are carried. By thus comparing the motion of the celestial bodies with that of terrestrial bodies caught up and floating in whirpools of water, Descartes provided an analogy which at least had the merit of plausibility". (Scott p. 158). "In part I, Descartes sets out the basic principles of his investigation pursuing the methods developed in his Discourse on Method. Part II is devoted to the nature of the physical world and the means by which we may comprehend it. Fundamental to Descartes'physical theories was his conviction that all space was occupied, space was identified with matter, all matter was infinitely extensible and infinnitely divisible ; within the context of this theory a vacuum was impossible as was the existence of atoms. This made for a theory highly compatible with catholic doctrine... Also presented in Part II are Descartes' three laws of motion. Part III not only presents Descartes' conception of structure of the world, but reprensents the first serious attempt at a mechanical explanation of the solar system. The Vortex Theory boldly attempted to reduce the phenomena of the universe to a single mechanical principle...".

I Principia philosophiae furono pubblicati in latino nel 1644; si articolano in 4 parti: nella prima si trattano i problemi della conoscenza umana, mentre le altre tre contengono le questioni generali del sapere scientifico, cio la fisica, la struttura dell'universo, la natura di questa terra e dei corpi e sostanze che la compongono. Il testo dei Principia era sostanzialmente gi pronto quando fu pubblicato il Discorso sul metodo (1637) ma, visto quanto era successo a Galileo per aver pubblicizzato le concezioni copernicane, Descartes lo tenne in sospeso per parecchi anni e lo pubblic solo dopo avere elaborato una descrizione dei moti celesti non in evidente contrasto con le idee tradizionali.Cfr. Cioranescu,II,23951 - Brunet,II,611: Premire dition de cet ouvrage qui a t souvent rimprim (en 1651, 1658, ecc.).Nel ns. esempl.: prima pag. di risg. con mancanze e antiche firme di apparten. mss., l'ultima ripetuta anche al frontesp.; leggerm. corto del marg. super.; la p. 151 annerita per lo pi al marg. bianco per una sbavatura di stampa; qualche lieve uniforme arross. o alone margin. ma mediamente ben conservato.‎

‎L'HOMME ET UN TRAITTE' DE LA FORMATION DU FOETUS DU MESME AUTHEUR.‎

‎Avec les remarques de Louys de La Forge... sur le traitt de l'Homme... chez Charles Angot, Paris, 1664.

Nel celebre trattato "l'Homme", dedicato in gran parte al cervello e all'organo della vista, il grande filosofo, matematico, medico e patologo Ren Descartes (1596-1650), fornisce un notevole contributo al progresso delle scienze mediche e, in particolare, alla fisiologia. L'opera, pubblicata postuma, introdotta da una lunga prefazione del curatore Claude Clerselier, suo amico e ammiratore. Al trattato fa seguito "La formation du foetus", qui in prima edizione, e il volume termina con un approfondito commento su "l'Homme" e sulle figure inventate dall'A. (pp. 171-408) di Louys de La Forge, medico e discepolo di Descartes. "Prima edizione francese" di questa famosa opera (l'Homme era gi apparso in latino nel 1662). Cfr.

‎First edition of Descartes' seminal treatise on man, the first European textbook of physiology, constituting an epochal work of modern thought, defining the mechanism of man as it does. ""In the Treatise of man, Descartes did not describe man, but a kind of conceptual models of man, namely creatures, created by God, which consist of two ingredients, a body and a soul. ""These men will be composed, as we are, of a soul and a body. First I must describe the body on its own" then the soul, again on its own" and finally I must show how these two natures would have to be joined and united in order to constitute men who resemble us""."" (SEP). This highly influential work was the first to present a coherent description of bodily responses in neurophysiological terms that are still, to a wide extent, accepted today. In his attempt to solve the central question around which almost all philosophical thought had revolved since the time of Aristotle, what the relation between the soul and the body actually is, Descartes came to create a milestone work of physiology which changed the entire trajectory of modern physiological conceptions. ""Without Descartes, the seventeenth-century mechanization of physiological conceptions would have been inconceivable."" (DSB). He believed that the relationship between the soul and the body was mediated by the brain and the nervous system, and his seminal attempts to explain neural mechanisms drew a great deal on the engineering developments of his time (eg. the hydraulic automata that had been installed at the Versailles). He developed a hydro-mechanical theory of how the soul controlled the contraction of muscle through the intermediary of the pineal and the cerebral ventricles, and he produced an explanation of how it received, through the nerves from the periphery, signals that gave rise to sensation. Descartes' theories quickly spread throughout Europe, and the work in which he had developed them, his ""De Homine"" became extremely influential. This posthumously published work was actually written in the 1630's, but after the condemnation of Galilei in 1633, Descartes did not dare publish it"" ""although it thus had to await posthumous publication in the 1660's, his writing of the Traité de l'homme proved extremely important in the further maturation of Descartes's physiological conceptions."" (D.S.B. p.62). ""Some time after Descartes's death in 1650, his French manuscript, copies of which had circulated among his friends and correspondents, was edited and published. The first version was a Latin translation (De homine) by Florentius Schuyl in 1662, the second the now better known 'original' French version (Traité de l'homme) edited by Descartes's self-appointed literary executor Claude Clerselier in 1664. In the seventeenth century the 1662 Latin version was probably much more widely read than the French text. There were problems for the editors of both versions. Firstly, there were differences between the manuscripts: Clerselier in Paris claimed that his version was Descartes's own, that the others were 'corrupt' and that Schuyl had been 'misled' by them. However, a more important difficulty was raised because it was clear that the text was intended to be illustrated - Descartes refers to figures and to features within these labelled by letters. But no set of figures accompanied the manuscripts. Both editors have left quite detailed accounts in their long prefaces - little treatises in themselves. Here I consider only Schuyl, the editor of the Latin De homine. Schuyl (1619-69) was a professor of philosophy in the town of 's-Hertogenbosch in the Netherlands, the country in which Descartes was living during the writing of Le monde. Two of the author's friends had copies of the manuscript that they supplied to Schuyl, and with one of these were included two sketches of illustrations apparently in Descartes's own hand. These Schuyl included. One of them represents the medial and lateral rectus muscles in the orbit, which deflect the eye nasally and temporally. The other figures Schuyl had to have made and, since he mentions no one else, one supposes that he designed them himself."" (IML Donaldson, J R Coll Physicians Edinb 2009" 39:375-6).Wellcome II:453 Osler 931 Garrison and Morton 574. Waller only has a later edition.‎

‎1) Third Latin and most complete edition of this fundamental work on physiology, with the preface by Claude Clerselier. It is the first Latin edition with the notes by La Forge, which were first added in the first French edition of 1664. The fine woodcuts, mainly anatomical illustrations, were partly based on Descartes' drawings from the manuscript and partly prepared by Louis de La Forge (1632-1666) and Gérard van Gutschoven (fl. 1660). (See Heirs of Hippocrates to the 1664 French edition). 2) posthumous first edition of an important work by Vossius, one of the most learned scholars of his time.
