[Joslin Hall Rare Books, ABAA]

Morhof, Daniel Georg.  EPISTOLA DE SCYPHO VITREO PER CERTUM HUMANA VOCIS 
SONUM RUPTO.

Kiel Joachimus Reuman:1672.

A curious title indeed! A letter written by Morhof (1639-1691) to Johan 
Daniel Majorem, dealing with the ability of certain human voices to shatter 
glass. Rather unsurprisingly it is the only title on this somewhat 
controversial subject listed in Duncan. Morhof was a German professor who 
studied at the University of Rostock and obtained the Chair of Poetry there 
before going on to Kiel as professor of eloquence and poetry. Although 
Morhof wrote many pamphlets and articles on the voice and eloquence, this 
particular letter is somewhat scarce, especially in this first edition, 
having only a single American OCLC listing (National Library of Medicine) 
and 5 European listings. Later, apparently expanded editions, were 
published in 1682 and 1683. Duncan 9026. Disbound. 6"x7.5", title page, 48 
pages errata leaf disbound, but tightly sewn. A little minor soil and 
slight browning. [0744]  $675.00
