Original brochure, stapled. Condición: Gut. 25 p. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of the ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Slightly bumped, binding stained, author's name underlined on cover, pencil inscription on verso, few pencil annotations in text. - From the text: Most venerable fathers, I have read in the records of the Arabians that Abdul the Saracen, on being asked what thing on the world's stage, so to speak , he viewed as most greatly worthy of wonder, answered that he viewed nothing more wonderful than man. And Mercury's, "a great wonder, Aesculapius, is man!" agrees with that opinion. On thinking over the reason for these sayings, I was not satisfied by the many assertions made by many men concerning the outstandingness of human nature: that man is the messenger between creatures, familiar with the upper and king of the lower; by the sharp-sightedness of the senses, by the hunting-power of reason, and by the light of intelligence the interpreter of nature: the part in-between the standstill of eternity and the flow of time; as the Persians say, the bond tying the world together, nay, the nuptial bond; and according to David, "a little lower than the angels". These reasons are great but not sufficient,that is, they are not reasons for a lawful claim to the highest wonder as to a prerogative. Why should we not wonder more at the angels themselves and at the very blessed heavenly choirs ? - Wikipedia: Charles Glenn Wallis (1914-1944) was an American poet, and English translator of French, Classical Greek, and Latin.

From the library of Kim Merker. This copy with a handsome calligraphic presentation to George Nelson, Jr., by the Society of Typographic Arts - the inscription likely in the hand of Paul Standard. Designed by Victor Hammer and printed on the handpress by his son, Jacob. Giovanni Pico, Count of Mirandola (1463-94), "was justly celebrated for the range and variety of his learning which included not only Greek and Latin classical literature and Platonist philosophy, but also scholastic logic and the traditions of medieval Jewish and Arabic thought. Among his extant writings which contain many brilliant & fruitful ideas the short treatise known as the Oration on the Dignity of Man is probably the most famous" (from the note on the text by Paul Oskar Kristeller).
