Description

Posthumous edition of the monumental encyclopedic work by Daniel Georg Morhof, edited by Johann Möller for the first time in its entirety, an attempt to synthesize the knowledge of the time and catalog its authors. A first edition appeared between 1688 and 1692 under the title Polyhistor sive de notitia auctorum et rerum commentarii. This first edition is completed by the present posthumous edition of 1708: volumes II and III are added, as well as the integration with books IV-VII of volume I. Moller's Prolegomena is then followed by the Tomus I Literarium, divided into 7 books ( Bibliothecarius, Methodicus, Paraskeuasticos, Grammaticus, Criticus, Oratorius, Poeticus). A new title page follows (Dan. Georgi Morhofi Polyhistoris continuatio, continens Quatuor posteriores Tom. Liter. Libros, a Viro in Acad, Lipsiensi Erudito revisos atque auctos, nec non Tomum Philosophicum & Practicum, Opus Posthumus a Johanne Mollero correct revisum, emendatum, supplet passim atque auctum ... & Paaefatione, Tom. II atque III praefixa illustratum) Introduction to Tomus II Philosophicus, divided into 5 books (Philosophico-Historicus, Physicus, Mataiotechnos (De artibus divinatoriis et Magia), Mathematicus, Logico-Metaphysicus) and closed by Moller's Hypomnemata and Tomus III Practicus which is divided into 7 books (Ethicus, Politicus, Oeconomicus, Historicus, Theologicus, Juridicus, Medicus) and closed by Moller's Hypomnemata. Three exhaustive indexes of the entire work follow (Capitum, Autorum, Rerum). Beautiful portrait engraved of the author on the front door.
