First edition of this rare early work on psychology: a very nice copy with an important provenance. The rarity of this work can be judged by the fact that it is not in Durling or Schuling, 'Bibliographie der psychologishen Literatur des 16 Jahrunderts'. In addition, there is only one copy recorded as having sold at auction one copy: it was rebound and with no provenance to speak of, but sold for 273 Euro. There are currently no other copies for sale. Adams P-588. BM STC 497.
