Diese (dritte lateinische) Ausgabe von "De Ortu" wurde von dem deutschen Arzt Johann Sigfrid (1556-1632) zusammengestellt und bearbeitet, der die meisten Abschnitte neu nummeriert und den Text gegenüber Agricolas Originaltext vereinfacht hat, um ihn für Vorlesungen an der Universität Helmstedt zu verwenden. Außerdem ergänzte er die Agricola-Texte um Georg Fabricius' Werk über Metalle von 1565. - Angebunden: Ders. De Animantibus subterraneis liber. Hactenus a multis desuderatus, nunc vero in gratiam studiosorum seorsim editus, in certa capita divisus, capitum argumentis & nonnullis marginalibus exornatus. A Johanne Sigfrido. Wittebergae, Typis Meisnerianis, Impensis Zachariae Schureri, 1614. 7 Bll., 1 w. Bl., 80 S., 7 Bll. - Agricolas kurze Abhandlung "De Animantibus" über die unterirdisch vorkommenden Tiere, die erstmals 1549 veröffentlicht wurde, ist ein Kompendium dessen, was griechische, lateinische und mittelalterliche Autoritäten über diese Tiere schrieben. Im Gegensatz zu vielen seiner Zeitgenossen ergänzte Agricola diese Schriften durch eigene Beobachtungen und stellte die Existenz einiger der von seinen Vorgängern beschriebenen Phantasietiere in Frage. Von besonderem Interesse für Paläontologen und Zoologen ist ein Index am Ende des Buches, in dem Agricola die Tiere nach ihrer Fortbewegungsart gruppiert und gelegentlich auch Binome verwendet, womit er in die Fußstapfen einiger zeitgenössischer Kräuterkundler tritt. - Agricola studierte von 1518 bis 1522 Medizin und Chemie in Bologna, Venedig und Padua. Anschließend unterrichtete er klassische Philologie an der Städtischen Schule in Zwickau, Sachsen. Im Jahr 1527 zog er nach Joachimsthal in der Tschechoslowakei, wo er eine Arztpraxis eröffnete. Hier, wo der Bergbau in der Umgebung sein tägliches Leben beeinflusste, begann Agricola, Bergbautechniken und Mineralogie zu studieren. Nach einer Ernennung zum offiziellen Historiker des Fürstentums Sachsen im Jahr 1533, die mit einem jährlichen Stipendium verbunden war, zog Agricola erneut um. Er verlegte seine Arztpraxis nach Chemnitz in Sachsen. Dort engagierte er sich in der Bürgerschaft, was dazu führte, dass er mehrmals zum Bürgermeister der Stadt gewählt wurde. Agricola war einer der herausragenden Wissenschaftler seiner Zeit. Seine Texte über die Krankheiten der Bergleute waren für die damalige Zeit innovativ, und für seine Arbeiten über den Bergbau und die Mineralogie wurde er von keinem Geringeren als Abraham Gottlob Werner als "Vater der Mineralogie" bezeichnet. - - Mit mont. gestoch. Wappen-Exlibris der Bibliothek von Antoine Lavoisier. - Papierbedingt gebräunt, 1. Titelblatt mit Restaurierung im unteren Rand, gelegentlich gering fleckig, sonst insg. wohlerhalten. Rare selected works of the German physician, mineralogist and mining expert Georg Agricola (1494-1555). This (third Latin) edition of "De Ortu" was compiled and edited by the German physician Johann Sigfrid (1556-1632), who renumbered most of the sections and simplified the text from Agricola's original text for use in lectures at the University of Helmstedt. He also supplemented the Agricola texts with Georg Fabricius' work on metals from 1565. - Contemporary vellum with blind tooled fillets (closing bands missing). - Bound with: Id. De Animantibus subterraneis liber ... - Agricola's short treatise "De Animantibus" on the animals found in the subsurface, first published in 1549, is a compendium of what Greek, Latin and medieval authorities wrote about these animals. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Agricola supplemented these writings with his own observations and questioned the existence of some of the imaginary animals described by his predecessors. Of particular interest to palaeontologists and zoologists is an index at the end of the book in which Agricola groups the animals according to their mode of locomotion and occasionally uses binomials, thus following in the footsteps of some contemporary herbalists. - Agricola studied medicine and chemistry in Bologna, Venice and Padua from 1518 to 1522. He then taught classical philology at the city school in Zwickau, Saxony. In 1527 he moved to Jáchymov in Czechoslovakia, where he opened a medical practice. Here, where mining in the area influenced his daily life, Agricola began to study mining techniques and mineralogy. After an appointment as official historian of the Principality of Saxony in 1533, which came with an annual stipend, Agricola moved again. He moved his medical practice to Chemnitz in Saxony. There he became involved in civic affairs, which led to his being elected mayor of the city several times. Agricola was one of the outstanding scientists of his time. His texts on the diseases of miners were innovative for the time, and for his work on mining and mineralogy he was called the "father of mineralogy" by none other than Abraham Gottlob Werner. - With mounted engraved coat-of-arms bookplate of the library of Antoine Lavoisier. - Browned due to paper, 1st title page with restoration in lower margin, occasionally slightly spotted, otherwise overall well preserved.

Heiligendarstellungen sowie 2 Metallschließen, VDeckel mit Eckbeschlägen u. einem Mittelstück aus Metall (angeschmutzt u. fleckig, Beschläge am Hinterdeckel fehlend, kl. Fehlstellen im Bezug, unterer Rücken u. Rückdeckel alt restauriert). VD 16 ZV 21307 (Exemplar der Staatibl. Berlin, dem einzigen anderen bekannten Exemplar dieses Drucks), OCLC verzeichnet kein Exemplar dieser oder der Ausgabe von 1557 außerhalb Deutschlands. - Das zweite bekannte Exemplar dieses fein gearbeiteten Drucks von deutschen Chorälen und lateinischen Hymnen, wobei der gedruckte Text gegenüber der Ausgabe von 1557, dem einzigen früheren Druck, erheblich überarbeitet wurde. Enthalten sind 84 deutsche Choräle, darunter 31 von Luther, und 64 lateinische Hymnen, u.a. das vierstimmige Magnificat. Während die gedruckten Noten mit denen der Nürnberger Ausgabe von 1557 (VD 16 P 2273) identisch sind, ist es recht interessant festzustellen, dass die Betonungen der Liedtexte stark überarbeitet wurden, offenbar um die beabsichtigte Intonation genauer wiederzugeben und dem christlichen Beter eine bessere Anleitung zu geben. - Martin Luther (1483-1548) hat nicht nur die Kirche reformiert, sondern auch als Liedermacher und Komponist die Kraft der Musik entdeckt. Seine Choräle gaben den Kirchgängern eine Stimme und halfen, die Ideen der Reformation zu verbreiten. Eingängige Melodien und leicht auswendig zu lernende Verse waren eine ideale Kombination in einer Zeit, in der die meisten Menschen weder Texte noch Noten lesen konnten. Als Luther die Liturgie reformierte, räumte er der Predigt und dem Gemeindegesang eine neue Bedeutung ein, und der sogenannte Chorgesang wurde als Glaubensbekenntnis und geistlicher Kommentar zu biblischen Texten definiert (siehe 'Über die Ordnung des Gottesdienstes in der Gemeinde' von 1523). - 2 weitere Lieder in zeitgenöss. Hs. auf dem hinteren Vorsatz (Hinterlegungen im Rand). - Innendeckel mit Exlibris des Komponisten Alfred Cortot (1877-1962) u. mont. bibliogr. Angabe, Blätter tls. mit kl. Randläsuren, etwas finger- u. stockfleckig, die letzten Blätter mit kl. Wurmsour, tls. feuchtigkeitsrandig, sonst insg. gut erhalten. With title printed in red and black and allegorical central woodcut, full-page armorial woodcut by Virgil Solis, dated 1559, at end. Contemp. blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards with two clasps, upper cover with 4 metal corner pieces and one central (those to the rear cover removed, and with a small section of restored pigskin). - The second known copy of this finely crafted printing of German chorales and Latin hymns, with the printed text considerably revised from the 1557 edition, the only earlier printing. Included are 84 German chorales, including 31 by Luther, and 64 Latin hymns, including the four-part Magnificat. While the printed notes are identical to those of the Nuremberg edition of 1557 (VD 16 P 2273), it is quite interesting to note that the emphases of the hymn texts have been heavily revised, apparently to more accurately reflect the intended intonation and to provide better guidance for the Christian worshipper. - Martin Luther (1483-1548) not only reformed the church, but also discovered the power of music as a songwriter and composer. His chorales gave churchgoers a voice and helped spread the ideas of the Reformation. Catchy melodies and easy-to-memorise verses were an ideal combination at a time when most people could read neither texts nor music. When Luther reformed the liturgy, he gave new importance to the sermon and congregational singing, and so-called choral singing was defined as a confession of faith and spiritual commentary on biblical texts (see 'On the Order of Worship in the Congregation' of 1523). - 2 further songs in contemp. ms. on the back endpaper (backings in the margins). - Inside cover with bookplate of the composer Alfred Cortot (1877-1962) and mounted bibliogr. information, some leaves with small marginal tears, somewhat finger- and foxstained, the last leaves with small wormholes, some dampstains, otherwise in overall good condition.
