FOREWORD The present book, while it forma an Integral unit of its own, is published conjointly with the author's Ramus, Method, and the Decay of Dialogue, which in great part depends on this documentary study, putting to further use the documentation here provided and situating the items in the present work in their larger historical context.

I wish to ac-

knowledge for the present book the same debts of gratitude which are noted in the Foreword to Ramus, iiethod, and the Decay of Dialogue and which it would be only tedious to repeat here, although my special indebtedness to the staffs of many libraries, particularly in iiurope, and to the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation, which made it possible for me to visit all these libraries, is here rather spectacularly evident.

This Inventory I s t o provide elementary documentation f o r the study o f Ramism and i t s m i l i e u .

It

furnishes a l i s t of a l l e d i t i o n s which I have been a b l e t o discover o f works by P e t e r Ramus (1515-72) and h i s l i t e r a r y a s s o c i a t e Omer Talon (the KLder, or Audomarus Talaeus, l 5 l 0 ? - 6 2 ) , t o g e t h e r w i t h subsidary l i s t s

too,

In 1855, Charles Waddington had provided a catalogue of Ramus' writings as an appendix to his book Ramus:

sa vie, sea Scrita, et ses opinions, but, valuable

as this catalogue is as a pioneer work, it is not only sketchy and inadequate, but also highly inaccurate (cross references are impossibly garbled, for one thing), and often positively misleading.

Waddington lists, for

example, thirty editions of Ramus' Dialectic in Latin or French.

There are some 300 listed in the present Inven-

tory, all but a dozen or so of these being from before the end of the seventeenth century.

Waddington, and almost

everyone since his time, is apparently unaware of the fact that the Rhetoric printed under the name of Omer Talon, ia very likely even in its earliest beginning and certainly in its later stages, in some sense Ramus' own work. Waddington lists five editions of this Rhetoric, specifying three of these as "principales 6ditions" for reasons unascertainable.

But he seems totally unaware of even

the capital French edition, an adaptation by Fouquelin, one of the earliest French rhetorics.

The present inven-

tory lists over 1$0 editions, any number of them more "principales" than Waddington's three, one of which apparently never really existed at all.

His works thus have a spread

o f a s o r t which those o f many o f h i s c o n t e m p o r a r i e s , Erasmus [3]

included, do not have.

While his most important work is the

Dialectic, this /fork appears as one of a huge galaxy of works which control one another's orbits and which are consequentlyall given here.

There are few authors of the Renaissance

with as many works so often reprinted as Ramus' are, so that an Inventory such as this should give an unusually full picture of the total impact a Renaissance man could have on his age, making it possible, it would seem, to improve our assessment of a variety of phenomena in Western cultural history.

Here we find, for example, that in this post-

scholastic movement which nominally proclaims death to Aristotle and to all that he stood for, the ratio of dialectic or logic texts to rhetoric texts remains over three to two In favor of dialectic or logic.

Or again, the relation of

the vernacular to the Latin tradition is here documented with a clarity hard to come by elsewhere and all the more telling because of the fact that Ramiam was the vanguard of the vernacular movement in northern Europe.

The notes

with the editions of the Rhetorlca and the Dialectlea here show in how many cases the first rhetorics and dialectics or logics in English, French, Dutch, German, and even Hungarian, were Ramist works, and the titles listed show rather definitively the infinitesimal part of iormal linguistic training which such vernacular works represent

ik)

as compared to Latin through even the late Renaissance. Finally, there is the curious fact that editions of classical works are much more limited by national boundaries than are books on the "arts"—not only dialectic and rhetoric but also arithmetic.

Teachers who conflated

their prelections or explanations of texts from sources kept out of pupils' hands were likely to have printed for the same pupils a standard manual of an art, perhaps with slight adaptations of their own.

One interesting corollary

of this fact is that the continuity of Renaissance culture is, at its hard core, in some ways due more to the arts than to the classics. Various observations and generalizations drawn from these and similar facts brought to light by this Inventory are discussed in the body of the work which this Inventory accompanies.

They compel re-examination

of many of our notions of the Renaissance, showing how, despite all the humanist fine talk in favor of eloquence, dialectic, not rhetoric, tends to remain the dominant factor in Renaissance linguistic, at least at the level of conscious cultivation.

The medieval dialectical em-

phasis thus well outweighs the classical rhetorical heritage when the accounts are cast up in these basic terms. The origins of modern encyclopedism and rationalism as the development, through Ramism, of medieval arts [5J

course scholasticism i s another phenomenon which can be traced in the t i t l e s here (see e s p e c i a l l y the Artes c o l lectae).

Some origins of the post-Copernican notion that

there i s such a thing as a philosophical "system"—30 important both in the Kantian and in the anti-Kantian camps—can likewise be traced through the t i t l e s here, together with the incubation of this and similar notions in Germany by German Ramists, art-of-memory experts (such as A l s t e d ) , chemists (such as Andreas Libavius or Libau). The Inventory likewise makes c l e a r t h a t , even in the Spanish peninsula, the c o d i f y i n g of a l l theology and philosophy in the Renaissance manuals—which are quite d i f f e r e n t things from medieval summae—was preceded by the work of the f i r s t evangelist of Ramism outside France, Francisco Sanchez de las Brozas (see under Dial e c t i c a P. Rami et Rhetorica A. Talaei in the c o l l e c t e d works h e r e ) .

This raises i n t e r e s t i n g questions concern-

ing the impulses producing the most famous of a l l

series

of Renaissance theology manuals in Spain and Portugal, those by the professors at Alcalfl. de Henares (the Complutensea) and those by the Coimbra professors (the Conimbricenses), f o r Sanchez· case reminds us that the Parisian influence, so strong in Spain toward the midsixteenth century, could have a Ramist coloring deriving

[6]

either from Ramus himself or collaterally from Ramus' source, Rudolph Agricola, to whom Melchior Cano's work on the theological loci traces directly, and even sometimes wor d-fο r-wo rd. Sanchez de la Brozas had some brushes with the Spanish Inquisition.

Notes attached to a ftw editions

of the Rhetorlca and the early dialectical works here (Inventory numbers 16, 20, 72, 103) throw some light on the relations of the Inquisition and Ramism—relations which may be characterized as usually precarious, but seldom completely deteriorated.

2.

Bibliographical Value

In addition to its value in the study of intellectual and cultural history, it is hoped, of course, that despite its inevitable limitations, this Inventory will also be of primary and direct bibliographical value to librarians and all those who have to deal with the tangle of Ramist editions.

Without attempting detailed biblio-

graphical description, the listings do pretend to exactness and completeness in brief form.

Where necessary,

entries are expanded beyond the ordinary brief form so as to distinguish editions and issues which would otherwise be confused. [7]

The contents of every work can be ascertained from the listings h e r e — a s mentioned elsewhere, when the contents of a particular edition are not given or are not clear from the title, they are to be found under an earlier listing of the same title.

Every work printed

in any edition listed under the Collected Works is crossreferenced under the Individual Works, which are chronologically arranged.

Thus, by running the eye down the

listings under Dialectlea, one finds in temporal sequence every edition of the Dialectic or Logic, including the editions which did not appear separately but in collected editions of one sort or another. Indeed, the Inventory should go further than merely aiding in the identification of editions.

It

should serve, to a great extent, the purpose of a modern edition of all Ramus' works as well as of Talon's.

There

is one reasonably complete edition of Talon, but of it I have been able to locate only eight copies.

No complete

edition, and no reasonably complete selected edition, of Ramus has ever appeared to serve as a point of reference for his works.

It is unlikely that one ever will.

The

bulk of Ramus' published writing—not to mention a few scattered unpublished letters—is overawing, the value of the separate items extremely variable, and the fact that

[8]

they are in Latin discouraging.

S t i l l , under one or

another aspect, Ramus' works, and Talon's as well, are often of paramount importance in the history of ideas and of culture.

I t i s hoped that with individual copies

of each edition in the great European l i b r a r i e s and in many American l i b r a r i e s here catalogued, modern microfilming f a c i l i t i e s or perhaps occasional i n t e r - l i b r a r y loans will make the procuring of any desired i s s u e a matter of simple correspondence.

Major New Discoveries

Regarding the canon of Ramus' and Talon's writings, the present Inventory presents, besides a d e f i n i t i v e b a s i s for studying the i n t e r r e l a t i o n of the various editions and of the development of Ramist thought, a number of major individual discoveries which are treated in d e t a i l under the individual works in question but some of which can be b r i e f l y l i s t e d here. tributions are cleared up.

Various f a l s e a t -

The question of the autho-

ship of the Rhetorlca published under the name of Talon i s here aired for the f i r s t time in centuries.

is now clearly charted.

The Inventory also makes possible

the study of the Ramist controversies referred to in so many current works but hitherto entirely baffling regarding the sequence of works involved.

A further appendix,

"The Ramist Controversies," based on and supplementing the Inventory, provides the much needed information on this sequence.

ii.. Coverage of This Inventory This Inventory lists all editions of Ramus' works of which I have been able to find either copies or record. It gives also the location of copies of each work of which surviving copies could be found. By far the richest collections of Rameana are in European libraries.

The European libraries listed below

and some few American libraries (those of Harvard, Yale, and Columbia Universities, and the Boston and New York Public Libraries) have been checked systematically for works catalogued as by Ramus and Talon.

However, not all

these libraries have been so exhaustively checked for the manifold works of these men appropriated by others and catalogued under, others' names by cataloguers unaware of the state of affairs--for example, under the names of Alsted

[11]

or Butler or Dugard.

An effort haa been made to find all

such works, and all the editions possible of such works, but I have generally been content with listing a few copies of each edition without running all these authors through absolutely all the library catalogues.

In American libraries

other than those just mentioned, only incidental copies which have come to my attention are reported.

For the few

volumes in this Inventory appearing from the late eighteenth century on, no attempt is made in any case to record more than a copy or two. A work such as this can never hope to be absolutely complete.

Even at the very end of a long trek through more

than a hundred libraries, editions of Ramus of which I had no record were still turning up, although with a relatively low rate of frequency.

The trail of editions becomes par-

ticularly elusive toward the end of the Ramist age when minor schoolmasters take to putting out editions or adaptations of Ramist works, especially the Dialectic, Rhetoric, and Arithmetic, under their own names with no mention of Ramus or Talon.

It is in this area that most of the editions

missing in this list will be found.

I feel quite certain,

for example, that I have not been able to run down all the editions or adaptations of the Ramist Rhetoric issued in iängland under Dugard·s own name or in Germany under Dietrich's

[12]

or of the Ramist Dialectic issued in the Netherlands under Ivendelin's name, or of the Ramist Arithmetic issued in Germany under Buscher's.

A painstaking study of the huge

mass of extant writing of the Ramists and syncretists whose names are listed toward the end of this volume would doubtless yield a sizable increment of further editions or adaptations published without Ramus' or Talon's name.

This

increment would be lese in England than elsewhere, since I have been able to check my findings for England against those of Wilbur Samuel Howell, in his Logic and Rhetoric in England, 1500-1700 ( 1 9 5 6 ) .

But even so welcome a work,

while making it possible to bring this tally of editions to its present completeness, does not malte it possible to perfect the tally.

For, exhaustive as it is in its field,

Professor Howell's book covers rhetoric and logic only, and that not beyond 1700 (there were several British editions of Dugard's Ramist rhetoric after this date), and even of the editions before 1700 Professor Howell does not mention absolutely all (for example, the I673 seventh edition of the Dugard rhetoric in the British Museum or the I679 and 1680 printings of the ninth edition in the University of Illinois Library). On the basis of the steadily diminishing returns as this Inventory was terminated, one might hazard the guess

[133

that in all the countries together where Ramism appears there is perhaps a total of about two hundred further printings which might qualify as editions or adaptations of one or another of Ramus' and Talon's works and which are not included here.

But almost all these—except, I should

conjecture, a half-dozen or so—would have appeared with no clear indication of the fact that they were basically by Ramus or Talon and would, moreover, present Ramus' and Talon's work more or less contaminated from non-Ramigt sources.

In this sense they are minor editions.

No

doubt, of some of these editions there remain no copies extant, although evidence of the edition may remain—for example, one encounters title-pages reading "Sixteenth Edition" when one is unable to find an extant copy of each of the previous fifteen. Nevertheless, despite these limitations, since I have examined all works which I have found and which sounded as though they might contain a Ramist text, eliminating those which do not, when a work which might be an edition or adaptation,of one of Ramus' or Talon's works Is not listed here, there is some reason for assuming that it does not contain Ramus' or Talon's original work ——even if it does have the name of one or the other on the title-page—but that it either simply

UW

speaks about the work or, at most, comments on the work systematically without reproducing it. Where a title or an edition or adaptation is given, but no copy is listed, search has failed to disclose a copy.

In euch cases, the source of my informa-

tion concerning the existence of the edition is always given.

Similarly, when I have been unable to resolve a

doubt concerning one or another item, the doubtful material is enclosed in square brackets and queried. The entries from German libraries represent a particular problem.

In Germany, World War II left much

destroyed or unaccounted for, or stored away in cases and in various stages of recataloguing.

Much about the

post-war.condition of German libraries, even in Eastern Germany, can be gathered from Georg Leyh, Die deutschen wissenschaftlichen Bibliotheken nach dem Krieg (Tübingen: J. 0. B. Mohr and Paul 3iebeck, 191+7) > which I have found extraordinarily reliable. The libraries in Eastern Germany have been, of course, closed to the Western world.

Their pre-war

holdings are in part included here through such media as the Abteilung Sammelkatalog in the Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek at Frankfort-on-the-Main.

The two large Berlin

libraries, the Universitätsbibliothek and the Oeffentliche

[15]

wissenschaftliche Bibliothek (formerly the Freussische Staatsbibliothek) are a special problem. the Ostsektor.

They are both in

A great number of the most valuable books

from the latter are at present in the deposit at the Westdeutsche Bibliothek In Marburg (Iahn), but the principal catalogue for these books is in the Oeffentliche wissenschaftliche Bibliothek in Berlin.

At the end of May,

1952, I visited these two Berlin libraries, where I was told that I should be allowed to work.

However, certain

grave difficulties presented themselves, with the result that I did not work in these libraries after all.

The

holdings of the Berlin Universitätsbibliothek and Oeffentliche wissenschaftliche Bibliothek are therefore not listed here.

Moreover, the cards in the latter library

from which is being edited the huge S&mnelkatalog of German libraries, so far In print only through the first letters of the alphabet, have not been consulted.

(However, other

union catalogues for German libraries have been consulted, as the list of libraries below shows.)

Similarly, the main

catalogue in Berlin for the deposit at Marburg has not been oonaulted, but from scattered subject catalogues on hand at Marburg a certain number of the Marburg volumes are listed.

Ramus' name ( o r , in the Talon s e c t i o n o f the i n ventory, Talon's name), together with the cumbersome hono r i f i c i d e n t i f i c a t i o n s often a t t a c h i n g to i t — P e t r i Rami r e g l i eloquentlae e t phllosophlae p r o f e s s o r i s ,

etc.—has

been r e g u l a r l y omitted except f o r f i r s t editions or at other times when some s p e c i a l s i g n i f i c a n c e or helpfulness [17]

attaches to the name and/or title, or when the occurrence of other proper names in the title makes the inclusion of Ramus' name necessary for clarity.

Except for first edi-

tions, the Petrus Ramus (or Petri Rami, as the case may be) is regularly abbreviated to P. Ramus (P. Rami, etc.), and the name of Audomarus Talaeus (or Audomari Talaei) to A. Talaeus (or A. Talaei, etc.).

Except in the case

of these abbreviations of Ramus' and Talon's (and of Cicero's and Virgil's) first names, ellipses (. . .) are used to indicate any omissions between the words of the titles given here, but not for the omission of Ramus' and Talon's names and honorific titles when these precede the words of the title as given here. Since such omission of Ramus' or Talon's name to simplify title entries makes anonymous editions otherwise unidentifiable, these are all marked with an asterisk, which in the Ramus section of the Inventory means that the connection with Ramus is not evident from the title-page, and in the Talon section that the connection with Talon is not thus evident.

The "ad Carolum Lotharingum Cardinalem,"

or "ad celeberrimam et illustrissimam Lutetiae Parisiorum Academiam," etc., occurring as dedications after the title proper are given the first time they occur in a series of titles but after that are omitted and their place supplied

[18]

by elipses (. . .).

With these exceptions, all proper

names on the title pages (including Talon's in the ttamus section of the Inventory and Ramus' in the Talon section of the Inventory) are always given—those of printers, etc., not excepted.

Geographical cognomina which are not

really a part of a name—e.g., the "Cantabrigensis" when William Temple is styled "Guilielmus Tempellus Cantabrigensis"--are regularly omitted just as they commonly are in library catalogues

(ellipses supplied), except

for first occurrences in a series.

Conversely, in Latin

titles, all abbreviations—which today only add to the general mystification--are regularly expanded with the aid of square brackets.

However, Cicero's and Virgil's

full names, Marcus Tullius Cicero and Publius Virgiliua Maro are regularly abbreviated to the forms Μ. T. Ciceronis and P. Vlrgilii Maronis (in the genitive case in which they usually occur), even when not so abbreviated in the full original titles. In anything less than a strictly technical and complete bibliographical description which would follow the title-page line for line and letter for letter and which would be far too cumbersome for the present purpose, it is impossible to maintain the use of capitals, and hence the variant uses of "i," "J," "u," "ν," "I,"

[19]

"J," "U," "V" found on tit-le-pages.

Here the spelling

of the original has, of course, always been adhered to, but the use of these letters, of capitals, and of punctuation—so necessary in cutting a path of intelligibility through the undergrowth of verbiage—is conformed to present-day practice for Latin.

For the letters "i,"

"J»" "u," and "v" the practice of the Teubner Latin texts is followed.

The ampersand (&) in Latin titles, which

is, after all, only a ligature for e£, is regularly ,, rendered et.

Roman numerals in the titles proper are

expanded to their full Latin forms to facilitate citation by clearing up ambiguities ("Lib. IX" could mean either nine books or Book Nine; "Liber I," either one book or Book the First).

These expansions, and in general all

expansions of signs, are italicized (whereas square brackets are used for supplied rather than expanded material, as when the rest of a full name is supplied after an initial).

However, in the case of publication

dates, etc., when roman numerals are replaced by their equivalent in arabic numerals, these are not italicized. Information regarding publisher, place, and date haa been kept to the shortest possible form, prepositions or prepositional phrases (apud, ex offlcina, etc.) as well as explicatory phrases, addresses, and thq like being

[20]

regularly omitted and only proper names given, except where necessary to distinguish the relationship of two or more persons.

Printers' or publishers' names thus

appear, where possible, in the nominative case to facilitate reference to them on the part of the growing nunto er of scholars not entirely at home with Latin.

This information

can be regarded as coming from the title-page, or, in default of that, from the colophon, unless it is bracketed, in which case it is supplied from elsewhere in the book (such as from a dated preface in the case of first editions) or from some reliable outside source.

In the interests of

brevity, the first names of the following well-known Renaissance printers and publishers, of very frequent occurrence here, have been regularly reduced to initials: G. (Guilielmus) Antonius, I. (Ioannes) Aubrius, M. (Matthaeus) David, i£. (.aUsebius) Episcopius, CI. (Claudius) Marnius, and A. (Andreas) Wechelus or A. (Andr6) Wechel. For other printers and publishers, of less frequent occurrence, the full form of the name has been retained or even supplied (in square brackets) in order to facilitate Identification of these often more obscure men.

In the

information regarding publication, omissions are not indicated by ellipses, but anything supplied is bracketed. The names of all individuals given on the title-page or

SIGNS AND ABBREVIATIONS Italicized entry numbers—e.g., 131«.— Indicate an edition In which Ramus' text is notably altered or curtailed by another (such as, for example, one finds when an editor amalgamates Ramus 1 Dialectic with Melanchthon or Aristotle) or editions which are otherwise radically adapted by editors, as when Ramus' text is dichotomized in bracketed outlines. When Ramus' text occurs with a commentary kept distinct from the text itself, the entry number is not italicized.

Because of the varying ways of entering

these amalgamations in library catalogues and because of the unequal value or total absence of crossreference systems in the older library catalogues, a complete check of copies of these amalgamations or adaptations is not guaranteed here; mostly, only strategically located copies are recorded. Anonymous edition—i.e., Ramus 1 name (in the Ramus section of the Inventory—Talon's name in the Talon section of the Inventory) does not appear on the title-page of the book, or in the case of collections by various authors, of the work by Ramus or Talon Included in the book. Italicized library symbols--e.g., Lbm, MH--indicate that the copy in the library in question has been individu-

[25]

ally examined and that it is the copy, or one of the copies, OD which the description is based. ?

Ä). The meaning of other abbreviations used should be evident from the context. Referenc θ Is made to the sources here given only [28]

in cases where direct evidence for the existence of an edition, in the form of an extant copy of the work in question, has not been found. If editions listed in any of the above works are omitted from the Inventory, it is for some positive reason arguing their non-existence (e.g., Waddington cites quite a few editions as known to him only from catalogue entries in the Bibliotheque Imperiale—now the Bibliothfcque Nationale—which do not appear in the printed catalogue, baeed on cataloguing corrections made since Waddington's day). The presence of more than one copy of an edition in any one library is indicated by repeating the library symbol for each additional copy. American libraries are designated by the standard symbols used in the Union List of Serials.

With two ex-

ceptions here (DFo and MHi), these American library symbols terminate in capital letters.

All other symbols

terminate in lower-case letters and are for Buropean libraries. Some Cambridge and Oxford college libraries I have consulted only through the union catalogues of early editions in preparation at Trinity College, Cambridge, under the direction of Mr. Η. M. Adams, and at the Bodleian Library in Oxford under the direction of Mr. F. J. King. [29]

Apart from this, unless otherwise indicated, entries from European libraries are all from personal visits I have made to the libraries in question, with the exception of those libraries whose names are accompanied in the list of abbreviations by one or another of the following symbols. (cc)

Entries from Centrale Catalogue, Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague.

(fsc)

Entries from the Abteilung Sammelkatalog for German libraries at the Stadt- und Universitätsbibliothek, Frankfort-on-the-Main.

Only

unique or rare copies from this catalogue are noted here.

Many of the copies, including, in

all likelihood, some noted here, were destroyed in World War II. (Pbn-o)

Entries from the printed catalogues of provincial French libraries in the catalogue room of the Bibliothique Nationale, Paris.

Most of these

catalogues are from the nineteenth century, and they are not always accurate.

There are rela-

tively few entries from them here. (r)

Entries from Repertoire des ouvrages pfedagogiques du XVIe sl&cle:

Blblloth&gues de Paris et des

Departements, preface signed by Ferdinand

[30]

Buisson (Paria:

Imprimerie Nationale, 1ÖÖ6).

This work is frequently inaccurate, but the entries from it here are negligible in number. Ramist holdings in America, as mentioned above, cannot compare with those in Europe, and the only American libraries appearing here which I have personally checked are those at Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton Universities, the Boston Public Library, the Boston Athenaeum, the New York Public Library, and St. Louis University Library.

Other American library holdings—for the number

of scattered copies is great--have been listed when I have come across them, as through the Library of Congress tracing service, William Warner Bishop's Checklist of American Copies of "Short-Title Catalogue" Books, 2d ed. (Ann Arbor, Michigan:

University of Michigan Press, 1950), and other re-

gional check lists. ALI AMu ANr Au AVc

TRAINING IN DIALECTIC

This i s Ramus' f i r s t reconstruction of dialectic as composed of three "parts."

At f i r s t , these parts are

natura, doctrIna, and exercltatlo, but a f t e r a few editions they become lnventio, dlsposltio, and exercltatlo--the lnventio and dlsposltlo having o r i g i n a l l y been matters f a l l i n g under doctrina.

A f t e r a few more

editions, the work i s equipped with Talon's explanations or praelectlones.

Ramus' l a t e r two-part Dlalectioa

completely supersedes the present work, out of which i t Is precipitated.

The Dialectic was to be a curt and

dogmatic, i f not invariable, classroom manual; the present work i s , on the other hand, highly oratorical, often hectic in i t s coloring. Probably the most primitive state of this work is not that represented by the f i r s t printed edition here but rather that of the Illuminated manuscript in the BibliothSque Nationale, Paris, "Petri Rami Dialecticae partition«β ad Franciacum Valeslum Christlanisslmum Gallorum regem," l i s t e d below in the Inventory under the Supplement of Lost and Unedited Works.

This is Charpentier1s "secunda editio," and the

one cited in the condemnation of Ramus by Francis I» March 10, 1543 (i.e., 151+4)·

There is no division into

books in the text itself, but a dichotomized scheme of dialectic appears on fol. 57—the first in an endless chain of Ramist dichotomized tables.

As compared with

Dialecticae partltlones (1543) preceding, the text is altered and expanded, and the various classifications ("rules") of syllogisms, etc., are illustrated with example s. In Vbv, MS Ottobonianae Latinae 2172 is a handwritten transcript of this work, obviously done from a copy of a printed edition.

The MS is written in a

beautiful, but not individually distinctive, late sixteenth-century hand, the pages ruled off neatly with large margins, and is bound in parchment from an old MS; 28.5x19 cm: v+57 numbered leaves, but the text con-

[48]

eludes on f o l . 55 v . and the rest are blank; there are catch-words at the bottom of each page, as in a printed edition.

A few scattered notes in a second hand mostly

take exception to Ramus' statements. Copies:

This i s the " t e r t i a e d i t i o " which Charpentier

notes as published by Ramus under Talon's name while Raiuus was s t i l l forbidden to teach or to write on dialectic. The rarest of a l l major editions of Ramus' works, known to Waddington only through Charpentier's reference, this i s also in many ways the most important edition, since i t i s the f i r s t to give the Ramist dial e c t i c i t s d e f i n i t i v e contours and the f i r s t to treat method as such.

There are no numbered chapters, but

f o r the f i r s t time centered headings—blocked-out spatial organization within a Ramist book thus turns up simultaneously with method—and three major divisions, [lt-9]

Although Ramus s t i l l f o r g e t s to make allowance f o r statement or enunciation among the operations of d i s course ( a l l he t r e a t s i s arguments or separate terms, and syllogisms), the e s s e n t i a l s of the 1555 and 1556 D i a l e c t i c are here in the f i r s t two books.

REMARKS ON ARISTOTLE OR LECTURES ON DIALECTIC This is a series of insistent, if captious, lectures proposing a reconstltution of all philosophy in ways contrary to the views of "Aristotelians." Ramus' Latin is here at its voluble best, entertaining and full of calculated histrionics and of a burlesque springing from warm and well-merited indignation but often based ultimately on nothing better than cold misrepresentation—Ramus was at a loss to find what was really wrong.

Enlarged, if not always clarified, in

later editions which attempt to justify earlier positions, the once brief work is, in these later editions, thereupon divided into twenty separate books and has the llbrl vlglntl added to its title.

But even then, it

undergoes further revision, as in the 1569 edition. Although they are taken as revisions here, these later productions could be considered as separate works displaying the same, or nearly the same, title as the 15^3 work. By the time this work gets to the twenty-book stage, it is organized around the Organon of Aristotle [56]

and the preliminary works, such as Porphyry's, which had accrued to the Organon—organized, that is, like the ordinary medieval or Renaissance logic course.

But this

organization is adopted by Ramus so that he can attack the course from every face it presented.

The blacking out probably

means that the book, in sixteenth century Rome suspect because by a heretic, had been examined and Judged harmless after all—i.e., the fact that it was by Ramus did not count, so his name was struck out. Copies;

ALGEBRA This short, two-book (in the first edition two-part) algebra, was thought by Niceron and Waddington and all who have followed them into print to have been published only posthumously. However, as the note with the first edition here shows, it appeared anonymously twelve years before Ra.nu s' de a th. Ir. the Rani at methodization of the sciences, algebra is a source of permanent embarrassment.

The

first edition of this work 1ε very loosely organized but suggests that algebra is a part cf arithmetic. But what sort of a part?

The answer is provided

after Ramus' death by Lazarus Schcner in his 1586 edition of Ramus' arithmetic ar.d algebra.

Here

Schoner's commentary cn the first chapter of the Algebra explains that algebra is what the Greeks call the "analytic" part cf arithmetic, as against arithmetic proper, which they styled "synthetic"-this touting ci analytic and synthetic is, of course, Ramist» not Greek.

Schöner goes on to say that, like

arithmetic (one might say, like everything for a Ramist), algebra has two parts: simple (single numbers) ani comparative algebra (combined numbers).

Schöner's "analytic" and "synthetic" is a real tour de force, but the preoccupation with relating the sciences with one another, to which he bears witness, is undoubtedly the harbinger of Descartes' analytical geometry.

Raraists, however,

on principle, were committed to a program of severing the sciences one from another in their theoretical treatment, not of uniting them, and they tended to eliminate matter which did not meet their specifications.

Thus, before Schöner, the redoubtable

Iohann Thomas Freige had excluded algebra from his 1576 edition of Ramus' arts, the Professio regia. As the opening words of the 1560 edition cited below show, the uneasy position of algebra in the Ramist canon is connected with the uneasy position of squared and cubed numbers (numeri figurati)--see the introductory note to the Arithmetic in this Inventory above.

Involved in the Ramist mind with

geometrical figures (figurae), these subjects seemed thereby to be connected with geometry as well as with arithmetic, and the whole principle of total distinction, on which Ramism was built, was thereby impugned.

Schöner·s l6l5 edition listed here below

associates algebra with squared and cubed numbers as special problems for Ramists even more closely than

GREEK GRAMMAR This is a concise, practical, very elementary Greek grammar.

The early editions treat

only the Ramiats1 first part of grammar, etymology, the second part being separately printed under the title Greek Syntax (Liber de syntaxl Graeca).

The

Privilegium printed with the 1562 edition of this latter work refers to it only as Liber de syntaxl C-raeca, and hence, to minimize confusion, so long as it continues to appear under this separate title, it is listed in this Inventory as a separate work. In 1567 and thereafter, the syntax is thrown in under the title Grainmatica Graeca. 1337]

The q u a l i f i c a t i o n added to the t i t l e " i n so f a r as i t d i f f e r s from L a t i n " (quatenus a Latlna d i f f e r t ) r e f l e c t s not only the general p r a c t i c e

in

teaching C-reek to boys who already knew some L a t i n , but a l s o the Ramist p r i n c i p l e t h a t no a r t should overlap any o t h e r .

Soon, however, t h i s p r i n c i p l e

y i e l d s ground a l i t t l e ,

and the t i t l e i s emended to

" c h i e f l y in so f a r as i t d i f f e r s from L a t i n "

[Grammaticae Graecae typus.] Opsimathes. ] leal. mart.

[Ed. by Iohannes

[Prague:] Ioannes Tornaeaius, l602, [6] 11. (22.ipc3^.8 cm.), without

numbers or signatures and a huge folding table (lj.6.2x65.8 cm.). Notes:

There is no mention of Ramus' name in this

work, but the folding table displays all of Greek grammar in the familiar Ramist divisions, arranged in dichotomized chart form.

There is no title-

page, at least in the VIn copy, and the entry here is from the VIn catalogue and from the folding table, which bears this heading: "Amplissimis viris . . . Dn. Georgio Punkio ab Olivero, s. R. C. M., consiliario et secretario regiae camerae Bohemicae fidelissimo; Dn. Iohanni Cocino a Cocineto, Pragae minoris syndico dignissimo; et Dn. Iohanni Kechelio ab Hollenstein, Dominus ac Patronis suis benignissimus, hunc Grammaticae Graecae typum, debitae observantiae TUuijoiOV grato animo offert [3la]

dedicatque Iohannos Opsimathes Moravus."

The

table concludes: "Typum hunc suis typus excudebat Ioannes Tornaesius typographus regius anno CIO. CII.

Kal. Mart."

In the light of the Ramist training which the famous Moravian educator John Amos Comensky (13'92-l671) received at the hands of Johann Heinrich Alsted in Herborn, this indication of earlier Ramist influence in and around Moravia is particularly interesting.

Comensky may have gone to Herborn

in quest of Ramism. Copies:

To t h i s i t might be added t h a t

C h r e s t i e n Wechel, the p r e d e c e s s o r o f Andre' Wechel, published many, i f not a l l ,

of M e i g r e t ' s reformed

o r t h o g r a p h i c a l works, and t h a t i t i s c l e a r

that

Ramus' Gramere a t l e a s t a v a i l s i t s e l f of type c u t f o r M e i g r e t , i f i t does n o t owe i t s whole

inspira-

t i o n p r a c t i c a l l y to the e x i s t e n c e o f t h i s

type.

This r a i s e s once a g a i n the i n t r i g u i n g q u e s t i o n as to J u s t how much o f Ramus' a c t i v i t y i n a l l

depart-

ments was the r e s u l t of encouragement from the Wechel publishing f i r m .

The i n f l u e n c e o f p r i n t i n g on

Renaissance humanism and philosophy was p s y c h o l o g i c a l l y very deep and o f t e n s u r p r i s i n g l y

direct—Erasmus·

g r e a t tombstone a t Basle was e r e c t e d by h i s g r a t e f u l printers. Ramus' reform o f orthography, t o g e t h e r with M e i g r e t ' s , was doomed when Ronsard, a t f i r s t i n f a v o r of i t ,

threw i t o v e r - . - ( B r u n o t , l o c . c l t . ) ,

and Ramus

h i m s e l f seems never to have used i t o u t s i d e the Gramere.

As Brunot likewise points out, Ramus' French grammar i s undistinguished, one among many, but Ramus seams to have been the f i r s t to divide grammar into etymology and syntax (see notes with h i s Latin Grammar above). For Nancel's possible part i n t h i s work, see the remarks above with the Latin Grammar.

LECTURES ON MATHEMATICS See the remarks with Lectures on tha Liberal Arts.

Although the Lectures or

Scholae are purportedly to refute adversaries, in elementary mathematics Ramus has a hard time manufacturing causes for dispute—often, but not always—and thus finds himself descending for long stretches to positive explanation.

[NOTE ON SPURIOUS WORKS] V/addington, pp. ^7^-76, gives a list of eleven works at one time or another falsely attributed to Ramus.

From a quite full knowledge

of library catalogues, I can state with certainty that there is no inclination today to attribute any of these works to Ramus, with the possible

Waddington

assumes that the text of this MS is the same as that of the printed version.

It is, in fact, much

the same, but there are differences which are significant and which indicate, moreover, that this text is anterior to the texts In print.

For example,

the term particularls affirmatlo of the present MS

( f o l . l 6 r ) i s , in the second printed edition (Dlalectlcae l n s t i t u t l o n e s , 154-3» men3e septembria, f o l . 23 Γ ) rendered by a f f l r m a t i o s i n g u l a r ! 3 .

But

in the f i r s t printed edition (Dlalectlcae p a r t i tiones, 1543, f o l . l 6 ), the t e x t , otherwise wordfor-word that of the present MS, has likewise a l t e r e d p a r t l c u l a r l s to s l n g u l a r l s .

Such changes

seem to Indicate that the f i r s t printed edition i s from a text l a t e r than the present MS. In the preface, rather more than the f i r s t two pages mentioned by Waddington d i f f e r from the printed preface, but for the most p a r t , the d i f f e r ences consist simply in the f a c t that the eulogies In the MS are made to r e f e r to the King, those in the printed e d i t i o n to the University.

In p l a c e s ,

apart from the word r e f e r r i n g to one or the other of these dedicatees, the eulogies are i d e n t i c a l , word-for-word: the conventional v i r t u e s celebrated form a matrix with a replaceable center, where king, university, or anything e l s e requiring eulogy can be f i t t e d .

[Tractatus de usu dialec-

It is dedicated to Sir

Philip Sidney and bears on the title-page the motto: "Platonem admiror, amo Aristotelem, Ramum ubique non reprehendo." llbrl duo . . • .

Cf. above Dlalectlcae

(Ultraiecti, 1658), note;

also Praunce's editions of the Ramist Dialectlca (1588) and Rhetorlca (1588, 1 9 5 0 ) .

This motto

of Praunce'e Is obviously connected with the title-page motto of the Ramist William Ames which is related to the Harvard seal in Samuel Eliot Morison, The Founding of Harvard College (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1 9 3 5 ) , pp. 3 3 0 - 3 1 .

ADDRESS [ON THE STUDY OF RHETORIC] In this oration at the opening of the school year following the injunction laid on Ramus to discontinue teaching philosophy, Talon protests that he devotes his time "to the lighter studies of the arts" rather than to the "more serious studies of medicine or law or theology" [ 1*61*1

because of his friendship f o r Peter Ramus and Bartholomew Alexander and because of the importance of rhetoric

itself.

DIALECTICAL EXPLANATIONS OP PORPHYRY Porphyry's Isagoge or Introduction to A r i s t o t l e ' s l o g i c a l treatises i s here translated

[465)

from the Greek in "plain style" Latin by Talon (see his-preface to Sabellus) and interspersed with commentary about the length of the Isagoge itself.

The introductory "De libris Organi dialec-

tici" questions the authenticity of the books of the Organon« This is an attempted annihilation of Porphyry complementing Ramus' attack on Aristotle in the Remarks on Aristotle.

Published with

Talon's name on the title-page, this work is presumably by Talon, but it is practically certain that Ramus, on whom Talon elsewhere avows his dependence, had some hand in it.

There are even

good grounds for suspecting—but not for proving-Uiat Ramus is the author of the work (apart perhaps from the translation proper of Porphyry): 1) Ramus was still forbidden to publish philosophical works, so he should have had to use a pseudonym; 2) he published an edition of his Training in Dialectic, slightly doctored, this same year using Talon's name as a pseudonym; 3) Talon published no other such logical work save the commentary on Ramus' own Dialectic, which commentary Ramus considered somewhat his own private property, £14-66]

subject to alteration at his own pleasure.

If

Ramus wrote this present work, Talon may well have given it, in substance, as his own class lectures anyhow, since it consists, of course, of printed class lectures.

As noted in the Ramus section of the

Inventory, the existence of this edition is doubtful.

No attempt is made to include its

hypothetical parts in the listings of the individual works above.

[Itfl]

THE RAMIST CONTROVERSIES Out of the works in the foregoing Inventory, there grow the Ramist controversies which divided Cambridge University and many continental universities against themselves and which are referred to in Perry Miller, The New England Mind: The Seventeenth Century, ill Miss Tuve's Elizabethan and Metaphysical Imagery, in Miss Seaton's edition of Abraham Fraunce's Arcadian Rhetorike, in Peter Munz, Hooker in the History of Thought, and in countless works on Edmund Spenser, John Milton, and other Elizabethans and Jacobeans, not to mention the Parnassus plays, works of Marlowe and Jonson, and unnumbered contemporary sources·

Most of these con-

troversies have never really been studied, and the very sequence of the attacks and counter-attacks involved has remained baffling, even to the authors of the recent studies just cited. The controversies proliferate endlessly and continue to echo, particularly out of the German Ramist milieu and through Kant, into our own day.

I do not

pretend to Include all the Ramist disputes here, but only to indicate the sequence of the various works in the initial controversies and to locate copies of each work (except those by Ramus himself, already located in the foregoing Inventory).

These initial controversies form LU.92]

rather tidy units and hence invite further study by those interested in the formation of the modern mind and sensibility.

Countless individual attacks on Ramus or de-

fences of his stands, such as Jean Dorat's or William Ames's, invite no special listing in series with other worke and are so numerous that they cannot possibly be attended to here·

Many works of such a sort are touched

on in Waddington or in my own work, Ramus, Method and the Decay of Dialogue which this Inventory supplements. The presence of an unusually large number of the works here listed in the library of Trinity College, Dublin, is itself a relic of the Ramist controversies, being due to the Ramist controversialist Sir William Temple (the elder, 1555-1627), Sir Philip Sidney's secretary, who served as fourth provost of Trinity College. The controversies to which attention is called are, then, the following, in the order in which they developed (all the works were first published at Paria unlese otherwise indicated).

I.

THE GOUVEIA-RAMUS ARISTOTELIAN QUARREL (ca. 15^0-43)— The attack on Ramus by another Paris teacher of logic (later jurist) whose logical works had preceded Ramus· own reform.

There are a good many

recent Portuguese studies of Antonio de Gouveia, traceable through the Biblioteca Nacional, Lisbon. [^4-93]

ca. 1540·

Antonio de Gouveia publishes various

logical works, including his De conclusionlbus llbellus, which he later lists among the worke that he maintains Ramus drew on for his 15^3 attacks on Aristotle—see Gouveia, Pro Arlstotele responslo (l543)t fol. 2.

In his

introductory life of Gouveia in Gouveia's Opera lurldlca, phllologlca, phllosophlca (Roterodami, 1766), which does not include the De conclusionlbus llbellus, Jacob van Vaassen cites (p. 29) two editions of this latter work: Paris, Morellus, 15^0 (already the third edition), and Paris, Guillielmus Le Bret, 1545· copies are located.

I cannot say where

There are none of any edition in the

British Museum or in the Bibliotheque Nationale at Paris. 1

5^-3

Ramus, Dlaleotlcae partltlones (later

called Dlalectlcae instltutlones) and Arlstotellcae animadverslones, which draw on Gouveia, the latter maintains . Gouveia, Pro Aristotele responslo adversus P. Rami calumnlas . • •

Copies in Lbm, Pbn, Pm.

This

precipitates the suit of the University against Ramus, in which Gouveia served as one of the anti-Ramus members of the commission.

This work is reprinted in Gouveia, Opera

lurldica, phllologlca, phllosophlca (Roterodami, 1 7 6 6 ) , pp. 785-815--copies in CtY, Lbm, MoSU, Pbn; and, in facsimile from the 15^3 edition with a not too satisfactory [ItfW

II.

THE PERION ATTACK ON RAMUS' ANTI-ARISTOTELIANISM AND ANTI-CICERONIANISM (1543 AND 1547).—Joachim de Perion, Benedictine doctor of theology, extreme H e l l e n i s t , and propounder of not a few f a l s e etymologies, defends the ancients against Ramus. Less s o l i d l y learned than Gouveia, he i s a more florid orator.

Ramus, Quod sit unlc^foctrlna lnetltu-

The appearance of this monograph excerpt

is a tacit avowal that the whole Ramist issue is one of method.

More than that, it is the most explicit indica-

tion we have that the Renaissance attacks on scholastic method are themselves in great part the direct result of the central tradition of arts course scholasticism.

VII.

THE RIOLAN CRITIQUE OP RAMUS (1568).--Jean Riolan the elder (l539?-l6o6) was a famous Paris physician, whose still more famous son, also named Jean (1580-1657), was William Harvey's most distinguished adversary.

Riolan's attack on Ramus consists of

one work only, and it elicited apparently no direct reply, but the attack itself grows out of a series of works by Riolan, apparently done while he was teaching as Master of Arts and studying medicine. The series i s worth studying, as it shows a contemporary critique of Ramism arising directly out of a positive and quite sensitively presented view [501;]

of philosophical development«

Riolan's Opera omnia

Some of Riolan's medical works feature the term bene in a way which suggests that the Ramist tradition d i r e c t l y or i n d i r e c t l y overtook him a f t e r a l l — f o r example h i s Ars bene medendl ( P a r i s , l 6 0 1 ) . 1562.

VIII.

THE RAMUS-SCHEGK DISPUTE ON DIALECTIC AND METHOD, 1569.

See the Ramus section of the Inventory,

Petri Rami et Iacobi Schecii eplstolae.

This is

an important dispute, and the one directly responsible for Ramus' 1572 revision of his Dialectic, with its shifts in his treatment of "axioms" and method.

IX.

THE DIGBY-TEMPLE-PISCATOR-RICHARD HARVEY CONTROVERSY ON METHOD, 1579-83.--This first large-scale controversy after Ramus' death is coincident with the rooting of Ramiem in the English and Rhineland milieux*

There are frequent reprintings particu-

larly of Temple's and Piscator's contributions to the dispute—often in conjunction with an edition of Ramus' Dialectic (see the listings under this work in the Inventory). The controversy is wordy, rhetorical, and, between Digby and Temple, scurrilous—Digby is a Latin Tom Hashe, Temple a Latin Gabriel Harvey.

[510]

Those who simply differ with Hamus without entering more or less explicitly into controversy with Ramism, and major philosophical figures such as Leibnitz and Kant, who very likely felt the omnipresent influence of German Ramism but in an as yet undetermined way, are mostly not listed.

Similarly, printers and non-literary

figures such as James Stewart, Earl of Mar and Moray, or the Earl of Essex, and others like these trained in Ramism but with no Ramist or Ramist-colored works to their credit, are ordinarily not listed.

Waddington's

fantastic principle (in his Ramus, p. 392) that all antiAristotelians ipso facto qualify as Ramists is, of course, not honored here. Since the concept of "being" a Ramist or a non-Ramist is often a fugitive one, the following designations are to be understood as approximate only; R

Ramist, at least in general tendency

A

Anti-Rarr.ist, at least in general tendency

S

Semi-Ramist or syncretist of seme sort, that is, one professing to hold a combination of Aristotle's and Ramus' philosophy (dialectic or logic), or of Melanchthon·s and Ramus* (Hiilippo-Ramists) or otherwise showing Ramist affinities (as Professor Howell's "Uixts" and "Systematics")

AGRICOLA CHECK LIST A Short-Title Check List of Some Printed Editions and of Some Printed Compendia of Rudolph Agricola's Dialectical Invention (De Inventlone Dlalectica) This check list is presented for elementary documentary purposes as fuller than any other similar study in print, but it does not at all represent the same exhaustive study as the Ramus and Talon Inventory, and can doubtless be much enlarged. Agricola died in lij.85, and the Dialectical Invention (De inventione dlalectica), more or less finished by 1^79» apparently circulated in manuscript for decades before the first printed editions appeared.

There are divergencies in the printed

texts deriving apparently from different manuscripts— perhaps from Agricola's own autographs, for the manuscripts have never been studied or even located. My examination of copies has made it clear that there are two chief textual traditions in the printed editions of the Dialectical Invention, that perpetuated in the edition with Phrissemius' lectures or commentary, with Liber II in 22 chapters, and that perpetuated in the edition prepared by Alard of Amsterdam purportedly from Agricola's own autograph manuscript, with Liber II in 30 chapters.

1531)-]

There is considerable

variation between the texts, although the difference in chapter numbering itself is due not to the dropping of chapters but to the gathering of two or m o r e chapters into one (iv is equivalent to iv and ν; ν to vl and vii; χ to xii and xili; xii to xv and xvi; xiv to xvii, xviii, xix, and xx; xvi to xxii and xxiii).

One is tempted to divide all the editions

here into a Text A and a Text Β descended respectively from PhriBsemius, and Alard*s texts» but without a more complete collation of the editions than I have been able to make« it would appear «

rather rash to do this·

I have therefore refrained

from positively identifying the contents of any edition with that of another and have simply reported the number of chapters in the various editions which I have examined more closely· Ήιβ oonmentarles of Alard of Amsterdam« of Phrlssemius, and of others are filled with bracketed outlines» and it is apparently the authors of these commentaries who divide Agricola's text into chapters with titles and numbers.

Thus bracketed tables*

the use of titles as labels» and heavy reliance on numeration to impose a kind of order are associated with one another in the pre-Ramist tradition here and bear evident relationship to the skills in control-

[5353

ling and organizing words spatially which were being developed in connection with the new art of printing. Agricola's work thus not only appears and gains currency in the milieu which had given rise to printing, but comes into Ramus' hands further conditioned by Agricola's editors along the viaualist lines favored by printing. Editors both enlarge on and contract Agricola's Dialectical Invention.

Phrissemlus' commen-

tary is roughly the length of Agricola's text itself.

The epitome prepared by Bartholomew Latomus

(Le Masson or Steinmetz), as Latomus explains in his letter to the rector of the College of Sainte Barbe, cal. oct. 1533 (ed. Gryphius, lS3k)» is useful because Agricola is too full (uberlus) to be got through in a hurry. It will be observed here that over forty editions of Agricola's Dialectical Invention precede Ramus' work of 15U-3-55» which comes into existence when the Dialectical Invention ceases to be a Rhineland specialty and moves into the scholastic milieu at Paris.

Once Ramus lays hold of Agricola, he puts

an end to the Dutchman's popularity and supercedes him.

In a somewhat similar way, Ramus was later to

be relegated to oblivion by Descartes. [536]

E d i t i o n s of Agricola seem to be a l l Continental.

Agricolan d i a l e c t i c made i t s way to the

B r i t i s h I s l e s as a s s i m i l a t e d by the post-Agricolan generation of humanists. Bie same symbols are used as i n the Ramus and Talon Inventory» with t h i s a d d i t i o n : t
