Herder, Johann Gottlieb. Treatise on the Origin of Language. Berlin, Voss, 1772. 1 leaf, 222 pp. 17 x 10 cm. Contemporary half-leather binding with spine label (spine restored, slightly rubbed). First edition of the treatise awarded a prize by the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1770. - Goed. IV/I, 724, 30 - Borst 238 - Carter-M. 399 - Schulte-Str. 38, 18. - “The actual impetus was a treatise published in 1766 by the Berlin theologian Süssmilch, who sought to prove the divine origin of language ... Herder’s treatise paved the way for a genuine philosophy of language that sacrificed the rationalist conception of “language” as a “form of reflection” in favor of an “organic” one, as Romanticism later adopted.” (Kindler’s Literary Lexicon 719–720). – Ex libris from around 1900 on the endpaper, slightly browned; a small hole in the title page has been restored and is barely visible. *
