Juan de Celaya (1490-1558)

Expositio in libros posteriorum 1517

CELAYA, Juan de (1490-1558). Expositio in libros posteriorum Aristotelis. [Paris:] Hemon Lefevre, 1517. Title printed in red and black and with multi-part woodcut border and printer’s device, criblé initials (small tears in title with a little loss, some staining).



[Bound with:]



ENZINAS, Fernando de (d.1523). Tractatus Sillogismorum. Paris: [Jean de Gourmont,] 3 December 1518. Woodcut diagrams, one full-page, woodcut of St. George and the Dragon on part 2 title (lacks title, some staining).



Two works, both extremely rare, representing important Spanish contributions to scholastic logic at the university of Paris in the early 16th century. The first work, by mathematician, physicist, logician and philosopher Juan de Ceyala is his commentary on Aristotle’s Posterior Analytics. WorldCat cites 2 copies only (Freiburg and Seville) and it is not known to Palau. The second work is on syllogism by Enzinas and is almost as rare. It is located in 5 copies, none in Spain. No copy of either work is recorded in ABPC or RBH. The full-page diagram in Enzinas illustrates the ‘bridge of asses’, the isoscles triangle theorem as a metaphor for finding the middle term of a syllogism. Palau 80128 (Enzinas).



Two works in one volume, folio (267 x 192mm). 20th-century red calf. Provenance: early annotations in both works.
