Plato. Timaeus Platonis, sive de universitate, 2 parts in 1, collation: A-Q4; A-Z4, Aa-Cc4, Dd2; 127, [1]; 212 pp., lacking final blank, woodcut device on title of second part, woodcut decorated initials and diagrams, occasional foxing, first gathering of second part browned, bibliographical notes in French in an 18th-century hand on rear pastedown, 17th-century mottled calf, rebacked preserving original spine and recornered, 4to (216 x 160mm.), Paris, Jean Bienné [and Guillaume Morel], 1563-1579. ⁂ Exceedengly rare Parisian edition of this platonic dialogue. The original Greek text is accompanied, in the second part, with its translation into Latin by Cicero and the 4th-century philosopher Chalcidius, who was also responsible for the commentary appended at the end of this edition. The second part of the volume has a separate title-page with the date '1563', whereas the colophon bears the imprint 'Absolvebat Ioannes Bene-Natus pridie Kalendas Maias 1569'. After Morel's death in 1564, Bienné had married his widow and inherited the press. In 1569 he put on the market copies of the Latin edition of Timaeus printed by Morel in 1563, which had remained unsold, adding a 'new' colophon with his name as the printer and the date '1569'. Later, in 1579 Bienné published a Greek edition of the Timaeus, supplementing it, as the general title-page states, with its Latin translation, re-using unsold copies of the aforementioned edition of 1563-1569. In his bibliography Imprimeurs Parisiens Renouard records only the Latin part of this Morel edition, thus confirming the great rarity of the 'complete' edition put on sale by Bienné in 1579, and offered here. Provenance: unidentified monogram combining the letters H F, and D on the front pastedown, followed by the early shelfmark 'R. no ii. i'. Literature: Hoffmann III, 296 and 304; Renouard, Imprimeurs Parisiens, III, 624.

The work was first issued in 1551, from the Parisian press of Robert Estienne. In his preface to the 1592 edition Robert's son Henri mentions the previous edition published by his father on the basis of a Greek manuscript preserved in the Royal Library at Fontainebleau. In the Genevan volume the Greek text is now supplemented with its Latin translation, made by the German philologist Wilhelm Xylander, which first appeared in print in Basel in 1558. Some copies of this edition bear the imprint date 1591 on title.

Ford Escort Rally Car Shell 1994 - In the spirit of our Motorsport flavour to this auction we have here a very un-usual Lot! A full house 4 Wheel Drive Escort Rally prepped shell, complete with RAC/MSA Log book and a UK V5 Log Book .Starting life as a FWD shell, the previous owner converted it to run as a 4WD or Rwd Car built for Stage Rallying. It was campaigned in 4WD guise on stage Rallies in Northern England in the early 2000ês, apparently successfully (though unverified) see pictures of how it was. At this point the decision was taken to strip it and respray the body. Unfortunately, while apart the suspension, brakes plus other major components wentmissing. Very disappointed by this, the car then stood incomplete but resprayed until the current vendor, an ardent Ford Rally enthusiast purchased it with mind to rebuild itwhen time allowed Well time never did allow and now with him relocating, the decision has been taken for it to be offered to the market. Offered we have to say, with a reserve that does not approach the value of the shell and its parts if it were to be broken up!What follows is a summary from the vendor of what you will be getting if you are successful in the purchase of this very desirableShell.–Escort mk IV Rwd Rally Car .1995. M.S.A. Competition car log book for stage rallying. •Mê Reg V5 States Escort 3 Door Hatchback. Built to and has competed on stage Rallies using Cosworth RWD/4WD Engine and running gear. Shell seam welded, Cosworth 4_4 Tunnel, Roll Caged, Steel Cosworth front wings ,Morrette style front Lights and loom for Front light Pod etc. Large Rear Suspension turrets. Bias peddle box. Hydraulic hand brake, F/r compensator. Finished inside and out in Ford Diamond white. Has bespoke Motorsport braided wiring loom, dash and instruments? Terra trip. Battery cut off, Fuel cell, Battery Box. Oil surge System. Aeroquip hoses. Plumbed in extinguishers. Race Spec seat rails and seat mounts. Rear diff /cradle and drive shafts. Compomotive TH Wheels. Steering is still fitted to the car with completion wheel. Various components present under the bonnet.The shell itself is in very good order with just some easily repaired damage to the body kit to the side skirts mainly, from being sat with no wheels for a time. Rear glass is missing while both of the rear-side and the front screen are standard and present. Both front side widows are Perspex and fixed with sliding sections.As you can see. The car is a shell. It has been fitted with metal struts and hubs purely for ease of moving. It is not a rolling shell in any other way and should be priced accordingly. There is no engine, gearbox, suspension, brakes discs, calipers etc etc so what you see is what you get.What you do get is a very high spec shell fitted with a lot of very expensive bits complete with a UKM Registered V5. Just begging for someone to either rebuild back to fullCosworth Escort Spec using their rusty or damaged Sierra Sapphire as a donor car. Or if youêre feeling really brave, a nice American V8 and gosilhouette racing. What a track day car that would be!NOTE. Pictures showing rear wheels for demonstration purposes, the small wheels behind them were for transport only and the Shell will come with all 4 Compomotive wheels with tyres.
