One of the earliest and rarest editions from the second Mantuan Press. This copy is lacking the final quire consisting of the table by the editor. Since this is often the case, it has been speculated that the quire was printed after some copies had been distributed without it. BMC VII, 930; not in Brunet; Goff T-213; HC 1458; Harvard/Walsh 3335A; IGI 9590; cf. PMM 30 (citing Basle edition of 1485): "The Summa is divided into three parts, the first of which treats of the nature, attributes and relations of God, including the physical universe; the subject of the second being man and the chief end of man, in which a definitive code of ethics is laid down; the third part, which was completed according to Aquinas's plan after his death, dealt with Christ, God and man. Even in this attenuated summary, the systematizing influence of Aristotle can be seen operating on 'all the learning of the Fathers', and it is this system which led Leo XIII in his Encyclical of 1879 to declare it the indisputable basis of Catholic theology; equally, it underlies much subsequent theological, political and social enquiry into the nature and position of man in the state or in the universe."

Wolfgang von Kempelen(1734-1804) first displayed his celebrated “Automaton Chess Player” (or “TheMechanical Turk”) in 1770.

In 1821, however, RobertWillis, a Cambridge professor and mechanical engineer, definitively exposed itin the present work as a hoax and revealed what some had already suspected:that the mechanism cunningly concealed a hidden human operator.

B.Yeats, worked as an editor for Virginia and Leonard Woolf’s Hogarth Press. She isperhaps now chiefly remembered for her relationship with Vita Sackville-West,for whom she left her husband, Lord Gerald Wellesley, 7th Duke ofWellington, in 1922. Vita Sackville-West dedicated to Dorothy her book-lengthpastoral poem ‘The Land’ which describes the gardens at Sherfield Court whichDorothy did so much to foster: ‘She walks among the loveliness she made, / Betweenthe apple-blossom and the water – / She walks among the patterned pied brocade,/ Each flower her son, and every tree her daughter.’ The poem won theHawthornden Prize and was satirized by Virginia Woolf in ‘Orlando’ whoseprotagonist was based on Vita Sackville-West. When Vita and Dorothy’s relationshipended, Dorothy became the lover of Hilda Matheson (1888-1940), a Producer atthe BBC who rented a house from her in the grounds of Penns in the Rocks, inWithyham, Sussex, the house she moved to after the end of her marriage.Kirkpatrick A8a; Woolmer A Checklist of The Hogarth Press 1917-1946 81.
