AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Abraham van St. Clara [David Fassmann]
The learned fool, or a natural likeness of such scholars who think that they have swallowed all erudition and sciences, and imagine that there is none similar to them in the world; hence they despise all other people, and let an unbearable arrogance show itself in them, etc. […]
From the High German translated
Amsterdam, Jan Winkel, 1734
(32)+444 pp
Contemporary leather binding (11x16 cm; signs of wear, leather front cover coming loose), ex-libris inscription on the flyleaf, moisture stain on the last leaves
FIRST edition; translation of ‘Der Gelehrte Narr’ (Freiburg 1729) by the German author David Fassmann (1683-1744), here wrongly attributed to Abraham van St. Clara = Johann Ulrich Megerle (1642-1709), an eccentric but popular Augustinian monk and popular preacher; the incorrect attribution may have commercial motive tied to the fame of Abraham’s works, also in the Netherlands.
