        SCHEUCHZER (Johann Jakob).

        Est: €10,000 - €12,000

        Physique sacrée, ou Histoire-naturelle de la Bible. Amsterdam, Pierre Schenk, Pierre Mortier, 1732-1737. 8 volumes in-folio, maroquin rouge, triple filet doré, dos orné, dentelle intérieure, tranches dorées (Reliure de l'époque). Première édition en français, ornée des mêmes gravures que les éditions latine et allemande données à Augsbourg et Ulm en 1731-1735 et que l’édition en néerlandais parue simultanément à Amsterdam. La traduction française est attribuée à Jacques de Varenne, l'auteur des Mémoires du chevalier de Ravanne. Splendide cycle iconographique gravé en taille-douce sous la direction de Johann Andreas Pfeffel, comprenant un frontispice allégorique de Johann Daniel Preissler interprété par Hieronymus Sperling, les portraits de l’auteur par Tobias Laub d’après Johann Ulrich Heidegger et de l’illustrateur par Johann Georg Pintz d’après Georg de Marées, et 758 très belles planches, exécutées d’après les dessins de Johann Melchior Füssli par dix-huit graveurs allemands, qui sont ornées de ravissants encadrements allégoriques dessinés par Preissler. Une partie de ces superbes gravures, en premier tirage, « offre des sujets qui n’ont pas été gravés ailleurs ; et c’en est assez pour rendre ce grand ouvrage indispensable aux naturalistes », selon Brunet. Dans la Physique sacrée, son dernier ouvrage, le naturaliste suisse J. J. Scheuchzer (1672-1733), ami de Leibniz et ardent newtonien, tâche de concilier les Écritures saintes – dont il cite côte à côte la leçon de la Vulgate et celle de la Bible de Genève – avec les sciences modernes et d'expliquer les mystères de la nature en faisant dialoguer l’histoire naturelle avec l’exégèse biblique. Magnifique exemplaire en maroquin rouge de l’époque aux reliures d’une exceptionnelle fraîcheur. Une coiffe discrètement restaurée et un mors fendillé au dernier volume. Nissen, n°3662 (collation erronée) – Brunet, V, 198.

        Est: $20,000 - $30,000

        This fascinating, folio engraving is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. The work was published in Augsburg und Ulm between 1731 and 1735. Each engraving features highly decorative borders which feature biblical and scientific depictions. The plates were by J. M. Fussli & J. D. Preissler. Physica Sacra combined theological and scientific practices in an attempt to reconcile biblical passages with the new sciences of the time. The work is an extraordinary illustrated natural history work, and a great example of the decorative nature of the 18th century copper engraving. Scheuchzer was a founder of paleobotany and European paleontology, as well as a professor of mathematics and physics. He believed the Old Testament was a factual account of the history of the world and set out to reconcile the Bible with modern sciences and thus prove the existence of God through Science.

        This fascinating, folio engraving is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. The work was published in Augsburg und Ulm between 1731 and 1735. Each engraving features highly decorative borders which feature biblical and scientific depictions. The plates were by J. M. Fussli & J. D. Preissler. Physica Sacra combined theological and scientific practices in an attempt to reconcile biblical passages with the new sciences of the time. The work is an extraordinary illustrated natural history work, and a great example of the decorative nature of the 18th century copper engraving. Scheuchzer was a founder of paleobotany and European paleontology, as well as a professor of mathematics and physics. He believed the Old Testament was a factual account of the history of the world and set out to reconcile the Bible with modern sciences and thus prove the existence of God through Science.

Schrifft vorkommenden natürlichen Sachen, deutlich erklärt und bewährt. Anbey zur Erläuterung und Zierde des Wercks in künstlichen Kupfer-Tafeln ausgegeben und verlegt durch Johann Andreas Pfeffel. 4 Bände. Mit 1 gest. Frontispiz, 1 gest. Vignette, 2 (von 3) gest. Portraits u. 760 (auf 758, davon 5 doppelblattgr.) Kupfertafeln. Augsburg und Ulm, Christian Ulrich Wagner, 1731-1735. Folio. Pergamentbände d. Z. mit goldgepr. Rückentiteln. Nissen ZBI 3660 - Faber du Faur 1855 - Lanckoronska/Oe. I, 32 - Vgl. ausführlich Kat. "Natura Sacra" (Zürich 2012), S. 77-128. - Erste deutsche Ausgabe, die gleichzeitig mit der lateinischen erschienen ist. - Mit diesem Werk unternahm Scheuchzer den "einzigartig gebliebenen Versuch einer naturwissenschaftlichen Exegese der Heiligen Schrift" (NDB). Sie erschien in deutscher, lateinischer, französischer und niederländischer Sprache, wobei die ersten beiden mit identischen Kupfern erschienen (die Bildunterschriften deshalb in Latein und Deutsch gedruckt). Scheuchzer selbst vollendete noch das deutsche und das lateinische Manuskript, den vollständigen Druck erlebte er nicht mehr. Die eindrucksvollen Kupfer, von Augsburger Meistern nach J. M. Füssli gestochen, zeigen biblische Szenen mit figürlichen Umrahmungen und Details, meist gefolgt und ergänzt durch weitere Kupfer mit detaillierten Tier-, Pflanzen, Architektur- und technischen Darstellungen. "Wo immer in der Bibel ein Tier-, eine Pflanze, Metalle, Versteinerungen, Naturphänomene oder heilige Bauwerke Erwähnung finden, werden sie von Scheuchzer unter Berücksichtigung der damals bekannten wissenschaftlichen Literatur ausführlich erörtert." (J. Hesse, in: Kat. Natura Sacra, S. 108). Weiterhin finden sich Kupfer zu Haus- und Landwirtschaft, aus der Astronomie, aber auch Schlachtordnungen, Stammbäume, Karten und Landschaften ebenso wie Portraits von Autor und Verleger. - Die Tafelzahl variiert, wobei die Nummern 37-39 auf 1 Doppelblatt angeordnet sind. Im vorliegenden Exemplar sind folgende zusätzliche Tafeln vorhanden: 39 A, 99 B, 133 A, 217 A, 223 A, 340 B, 446 B und C, 470 A. - In den Rändern etwas stock- und braunfleckig, stellenweise auch etwas feuchtrandig. Einige Lagen papierbedingt gebräunt, vor allem im letzten Band. - Insgesamt aber sehr gutes, sauberes Exemplar.

The work is an extraordinary illustrated natural history work, and a great example of the decorative nature of the 18th century copper engraving. Scheuchzer was a founder of paleobotany and European paleontology, as well as a professor of mathematics and physics. He believed the Old Testament was a factual account of the history of the world and set out to reconcile the Bible with modern sciences and thus prove the existence of God through Science.

        This fascinating, folio engraving is from Johann Jakob Scheuchzer’s Physica Sacra. The work was published in Augsburg und Ulm between 1731 and 1735. Each engraving features highly decorative borders which feature biblical and scientific depictions. The plates were by J. M. Fussli & J. D. Preissler. Physica Sacra combined theological and scientific practices in an attempt to reconcile biblical passages with the new sciences of the time.
