A Dialogue between a Master and a Pupil

Eleven leaves, and a covering leaf, of 'A Dialogue between a Master and a Pupil' by Edward, first baron Herbert of Cherbury.

Herbert of Cherbury, Edward Herbert, Baron, 1583-1648

Of Knowledge and the Power Cognitive

'Of Knowledge and the Power Cognitive in G[ene]rall', Chapters I-XII (unfinished), possibly in the hand of Francis Herbert.
Mario Rossi in 'Alli fonti del materialismo a del deismo' (194[?4]) shows that this work is a redaction of a portion of 'Thomas Hobbes: De Corpore', 1655. Rossi holds that the redaction was made by Edward, first lord Herbert of Cherbury, probably between 1637 and 1640. If this is so, the manuscript gives us an early draft of a part of Hobbes's De Corpore.
