Modern 1/2 morocco over marbled boards, bookplate of Turner Collection of the Univ. of Keele, stamp of Royal Astronomical Library on first volume; large copy with fore-edge and bottom edge uncut (edges of varying width); volume 2 bound first; archival repairs esp. to Ss1-4, minor worming Kkk1-Nnn1(some text affected); browning as usual.. Johann Gotfried Schšnwetter,. 3 printer's devices, many text illustrations (9 large). Despite its title, this work contains only Brahe's Protogymnasmata (1602) and De mundi aetherei (1588), the first two volumes of a never-completed trilogy. The first is a scholarly work on the 1572 supernova in Cassiopeia (published posthumously by Kepler), containing Tycho's observations of the supernova, revisions of the theory of solar and lunar motion, and a catalogue of the positions of 777 fixed stars. The second work records Tycho's observations of the great comet of 1577, and includes a description of his geoheliocentric theory of the universe. Tycho's observations of the supernova and comet led him to abandon the Ptolemaic concept of heavenly spheres and to deny the Aristotelian hypothesis that nothing new could be born in the heavens."[Norman Cat.] Our copy lacks one of the 2 leaves of dedication mentioned in Norman but with a 4 page index missing in his copy.

      Antuerpia, Ex Officina Plantiniana apud Joannem Moretum, 1602. En folio mayor (385 x 257)mm. Cuatrotomos en un volumen con paginación seguida. 500 pp., (6) h. INCLUYENDO 4 BELLAS PORTADAS ARQUITECTÓNICAS, 15 LáMINAS DOBLES Y 13 LáMINAS A TODA PáGINA, TODO MAGNÍFICAMENTE GRABADO POR PIETER VAN DER BORCHT. Encuadernación de la época en pergamino con el título rotulado en la lomera. Magnífico ejemplar de la PRIMERA EDICIÓN de una de las mejores producciones artísticas salidas de las prensas de Plantino y sin duda su libro de fiestas más apreciado, publicado en una tirada limitada a sólo 775 ejemplares. La obra describe e ilustra las celebraciones que se realizaron en las ciudades de Bruselas, Amberes, Gante y Valencia en honor de la llegada en 1599 como Regentes en los Países Bajos de los Archiduques de Austria el Príncipe Alberto y su esposa, la Princesa Isabel de España, hija de Felipe II. La primera parte de la obra describe las fiestas que se dieron en la recepción en Bruselas; la segunda parte (pp.171 a 316), que es la que contiene la mayoría de las ilustraciones, describe las celebraciones que se realizaron en Amberes; la tercera parte (pp. 217 a 408) narra las celebraciones organizadas por el senado de la ciudad de Gante; la última parte (pp. 409 a 500) describe la bienvenida organizada por la población de los Valencianos. La obra contiene además dos páginas de música que contienen un himno a seis voces ideado por el compositor Cornelius Verdonck para la amenización de las celebraciones. La última hoja contiene la bella marca de Plantino, impresa en toda su extensión. Las extraordinarias láminas fueron ejecutadas en su totalidad por Pieter van der Borcht (1545-1608), pupilo de Pieter Breughel, que está considerado como uno de los grandes grabadores de su tiempo; de él son las ilustraciones de las biblias y los misales impresos por Plantino en el siglo dieciséis, así como de las obras botánicas de Dodoens y de Charles de l'Ecluse (Clusius) entre otras. Las detalladas ilustraciones que aparecen en la presente obra representan los arcos de triunfo, procesiones, fuegos artificiales, teatros y otros adornos que se levantaron en las respectivas ciudades al paso de la comitiva.

Según Delén (1934, p. 97) estas estampas de Van der Borcht representan el paso intermedio entre las ilustraciones de estilo manierista hechas por Pieter Coecke para la entrada de Felipe II y las plenamente barrocas de Rubens para la del Cardenal Infante. Ejemplar superlativo, muy limpio, marginoso y con la impresión fresca y nítida; vestido con su genuina encuadernación original. Referencias: Landwehr, Splendid Ceremonies, 62; Lipperhaide 2657; Berlin Kat 2945; Vinet 621; Palau 31196; Biblioteca Nacional, Los Austrias, 220 First edition of the most sumptuous festival book printed at the Plantin Press, this work was produced in a limited edition of 775 copies only. It is illustrated with 4 engraved architectural title-page, 13 double-page and 15 full-page very fine engraved plates, all by Pieter van der Borcht (1545-1608). The work describes the welcoming celebrations held in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Valenciennes, in honour of the Regent Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife, Isabella of Spain. Van der Borcht illustrated all the bibles and missals printed by Plantin, and also the botanical works of Dodoens and Charles de l'Ecluse. The lavish plates represent triumphal arches, fireworks, processions, allegorical tableaux, etc., and the costumes of the period are shown in great detail. Of particular interest are the architectural details of houses and other buildings in the streets and public squares, especially in Anvers. Very nice copy in original vellum.

Oedipus Aegyptiacus. Hoc Est Universalis Hieroglyphicae Doctrin! temporum iniuria abolit! Instauratio. Opus ex omni Orienalium doctrina & sapientia conditum, nec non viginti diversarum linguarum authoritate stabilitum

Jesuit book-label on front paste-downs, some inner margin worming in volume 2 at front; occ. light stains, but generally quite nice.. Vitalis Mascardi,. 2 folding star maps in text. Numerous text cuts and engravings .Lacks all plates and frontispiece. Oedipus Aegyptiacus is Kircher's largest and most astounding work, the culmination of years of research in Egyptology. The work is an exhaustive treatise on every aspect of ancient Egypt, from history and geography to science, religion, and magic. Tome I gives a general overview of Egypt, her geography, the nature of the Nile, and the workings of the Egyptian government. Kircher also introduces here the Egyptian pantheon and demonstrates how Egyptian gods were carried into Greek and Roman worship. He discusses Egyptian religious influence on the Hebrews, Syrians, Babylonians, Persians, Samaritans, and other. The tome culminates with a discussion of the affinities between Egyptian religion and religious practices and mythologies of China, Japan, India, Mongolia, and interestingly enough, the Aztec culture of America. There are long separate sections on Egyptian magic, Kabbalah, mathematics, medicine, alchemy,religious practices, coinage, etc." [Merrill] Kircher (1602-1680) was the youngest of nine children. He was educated at the Jesuit Gymnasium in Fulda where he learned Greek and Hebrew. He entered the Jesuit order in 1616. Kircher studied and taught in many of the leading centers of learning of his day, and was called in 1653 to Rome by Pope Urban VIII and Cardinal Barberii. In 1638 he was appointed professor of mathematics at the College of Rome. After eight years, he resigned this post and dedicated the rest of his life to independent studies in the same center. He was the first to recognize that Coptic was the modern descendant of Egyptian and was the foremost Egyptologist of his day. DŸnnnhaupt 11:I-III. Merrill,Kircher BYU,10. Brunet III,668.

Numerous woodcut and engraved illustrations in text, head- & tail-pieces, and historiated initials. [Lacks engraved t.p.] Oedipus Aegyptiacus is Kircher's largest and most astounding work, the culmination of years of research in Egyptology. The work is an exhaustive treatise on every aspect of ancient Egypt, from history and geography to science, religion, and magic. Tome I gives a general overview of Egypt, her geography, the nature of the Nile, and the workings of the Egyptian government. Kircher also introduces here the Egyptian pantheon and demonstrates how Egyptian gods were carried into Greek and Roman worship. He discusses Egyptian religious influence on the Hebrews, Syrians, Babylonians, Persians, Samaritans, and other. The tome culminates with a discussion of the affinities between Egyptian religion and religious practices and mythologies of China, Japan, India, Mongolia, and interestingly enough, the Aztec culture of America. There are long separate sections on Egyptian magic, Kabbalah, mathematics, medicine, alchemy,religious practices, coinage, etc."[Merrill] Kircher (1602-1680) was the youngest of nine children. He was educated at the Jesuit Gymnasium in Fulda where he learned Greek and Hebrew. He entered the Jesuit order in 1616. Kircher studied and taught in many of the leading centers of learning of his day, and was called in 1653 to Rome by Pope Urban VIII and Cardinal Barberii. In 1638 he was appointed professor of mathematics at the College of Rome. After eight years, he resigned this post and dedicated the rest of his life to independent studies in the same center. He was the first to recognize that Coptic was the modern descendant of Egyptian and was the foremost Egyptologist of his day. DŸnnnhaupt 11:I-III. Merrill,Kircher BYU,10.

Kirchhof, Hans Wilhelm.
Wend Unmuth, Darinn allerhand höfliche und lustige Historien, Schimpffreden, Beyspielen und Gleichnuß begrieffen, nun mehr auffs new widerumb ubersehen, unnd in vier underschiedene Theil auß alten unnd newen probierten Scribenten abgetheilet, und trewlichen zusammen gezogen. 7 Bl., 776 S., 6 Bl. Titel in Rot und Schwarz mit Titelholzschnitt. Halblederbd d. 18. Jahrhunderts auf 5 Bünden (etwas berieben, Bezug an den Kanten beschabt) mit 2 Rückenschildern und Filetenvergoldung.
      Frankfurt am Main, Wolff Richter, Peter Fischers Erben, 1602. - Sehr seltener Druck von Kirchhofs Hauptwerk, ursprünglich begonnen als Übersetzung der berühmten Fazetien Heinrich Bebels, dann immer mehr erweitert auf 550 Nummern, jeweils mit kurzer Moral und Erkenntnis. Kirchhof (um 1525-1602), Sohn des hessisch-landgräflichen Oberforstmeisters, ließ sich als Landsknecht anwerben, studierte dann, übernahm diplomatische und Verwaltungsaufgaben für den Kasseler Hof und wurde schließlich Burggraf auf Burg Spangenberg. Seine umfangreiche Erzählsammlung sollte ? wie der Titel sagt ? den Unmut wenden und Fröhlichkeit wecken. Sie stellt sich dar "als Enzyklopädie unterschiedlichster Wissensbereiche, die auch dem 'gemein man, so die großen historicos und chronica nicht gelesen, noch zuwegen bringen kann', Gelegenheit bieten soll, . 'nothwendige Exempel'" zu nehmen (Killy). Schildert bemerkenswerte Ereignisse, persönliche Erfahrungen, kirchliche Streitigkeiten und Skandalgeschichten der Päpste wie auch aktuelle politische Auseinandersetzungen oder die Herrschaft der Wiedertäufer in Münster. Die erste Ausgabe erschien 1563, wurde häufig nachgedruckt und um weitere 6 Bücher erweitert. ? Titel angestaubt, gleichmäßig etwas gebräunt. ? Diesen Druck mit der gedruckten, undatierten Widmung Feyerabends, der mehrere frühere Ausgaben verlegte, kann ich weder im VD 17 noch im KVK nachweisen; möglicherweise handelt es sich um einen Nachdruck der Ausgabe Feyerabends von 1598. Vgl. Goed. II 470, 8, 1 f oder g. Alle Ausgaben sind sehr selten geworden. * Very rare impression of Kirchhof's main work, which had started out as the translation of Heinrich Bebel's famous 'Fazetien' and was more and more enlarged until it finally contained 550 pieces, each with a short explanation of its moral implications. Title printed in red and black with a woodcut engraving. Neither VD 17 nor KVK list this issue with the printed, undated dedication by Feyerabend; it could be a reprint of the 1598 Feyerabend edition. ? Title page slightly dusty, lightly browned throughout. 18th-century half calf (slightly rubbed, corners rubbed), spine gilt in compartments with 2 morocco labels.

PAGINATION: [88], 419, [66], 690, [1] Pineda (1558-1637) was a Franciscan and an appointed counsellor to the Inquisition. Sanford Budick writes about Pineda's Joban Phoenix in "Milton's Joban Phoenix in Samson Agonistes. " "from the beginning of the seventeenth century Pineda's Commentariorum in Iob made the Joban phoenix unforgettable with a striking hermeneutic illustration. Pineda's Commentariorum includes a full page illustration highlighting the Joban phoenix and the palm tree on either side of a Joban monument. In this illustration, which concludes Pineda's entire Commentariorum, we see how his interpretation of Job 29: 18 leaps up, exactly and exactingly, as hybridization: the Hebraic phoenix.".

Josephus, Flavius. (37-100) ( Iosephvs - Iosephus ) - Lodge, Thomas. (1558-1625), Translator.
The Famous and Memorable Workes ( Works ) of Iosephvs ( Josephus ) , A Man of Much Honour and Learning Among the Iewes ( Jews ). Faithfully Translated out of the Latin, and French, By Tho. Lodge Doctor in Physicke. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION - Extremely Rare (1602)
      London 1602 - [London] : printed [by Peter Short] at the charges of G. Bishop, S. Waterson, P. Short, and Tho. Adams, 1602. Recent full calf leather binding having original spine label and original "Cambridge Style" leather covers with center ornament. The leaves are generally clean, with the text block having wide margins, not usually found with this edition. Some chipping to leaf edges, primarily found only on beginning and ending leaves. It has been collated and is complete. The first word "THE" on its titlepage is xylographic. "The Lamentable and Tragicall Historie of the vvars and vtter ruine of the Ievves" has separate dated title page; pagination and register are continuous and includes Tables and Index. Overall the folio volume is in quite good condition and Extremely Rare. --- Flavius Josephus was a Jewish historian of a priestly family, who wrote largely in Greek, although his native language was Aramaic; indeed it was in this language that he wrote his account of the war against the Romans, a war in which he played an active role, and which ended in the sack of the Temple in Jerusalem. This work was written after 70AD, and translated into Greek. His work on Jewish history, the Jewish Antiquities, was written in Greek, and in part gives a much fuller account of the events up to 66AD, the year in which he had returned to Judaea after a period in Rome. Both works are hugely important for Jewish history, and as a 'classical' Jewish account of the earliest years of Christianity served, and still serve, as a counterweight to the exclusively Christian account of the period. ; [12], 554, [4], 555-812, [28] pages [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

      - Antuerpia, Ex Officina Plantiniana apud Joannem Moretum, 1602. En folio mayor (385 x 257)mm. Cuatro tomos en un volumen con paginación seguida. 500 pp., (6) h. INCLUYENDO 4 BELLAS PORTADAS ARQUITECTÓNICAS, 15 LáMINAS DOBLES Y 13 LáMINAS A TODA PáGINA, TODO MAGNÍFICAMENTE GRABADO POR PIETER VAN DER BORCHT. Encuadernación de la época en pergamino con el título rotulado en la lomera. Magnífico ejemplar de la PRIMERA EDICIÓN de una de las mejores producciones artísticas salidas de las prensas de Plantino y sin duda su libro de fiestas más apreciado, publicado en una tirada limitada a sólo 775 ejemplares. La obra describe e ilustra las celebraciones que se realizaron en las ciudades de Bruselas, Amberes, Gante y Valencia en honor de la llegada en 1599 como Regentes en los Países Bajos de los Archiduques de Austria el Príncipe Alberto y su esposa, la Princesa Isabel de España, hija de Felipe II. La primera parte de la obra describe las fiestas que se dieron en la recepción en Bruselas; la segunda parte (pp.171 a 316), que es la que contiene la mayoría de las ilustraciones, describe las celebraciones que se realizaron en Amberes; la tercera parte (pp. 217 a 408) narra las celebraciones organizadas por el senado de la ciudad de Gante; la última parte (pp. 409 a 500) describe la bienvenida organizada por la población de los Valencianos. La obra contiene además dos páginas de música que contienen un himno a seis voces ideado por el compositor Cornelius Verdonck para la amenización de las celebraciones. La última hoja contiene la bella marca de Plantino, impresa en toda su extensión.Las extraordinarias láminas fueron ejecutadas en su totalidad por Pieter van der Borcht (1545-1608), pupilo de Pieter Breughel, que está considerado como uno de los grandes grabadores de su tiempo; de él son las ilustraciones de las biblias y los misales impresos por Plantino en el siglo dieciséis, así como de las obras botánicas de Dodoens y de Charles de l’Ecluse (Clusius) entre otras. Las detalladas ilustraciones que aparecen en la presente obra representan los arcos de triunfo, procesiones, fuegos artificiales, teatros y otros adornos que se levantaron en las respectivas ciudades al paso de la comitiva. De especial mención es el detalle puesto en ilustrar los usos y costumbres de sus habitantes así como los detalles arquitectónicos de las casas y otros edificios, calles y plazas públicas, especialmente en Amberes. Según Delén (1934, p. 97) estas estampas de Van der Borcht representan el paso intermedio entre las ilustraciones de estilo manierista hechas por Pieter Coecke para la entrada de Felipe II y las plenamente barrocas de Rubens para la del Cardenal Infante.Ejemplar superlativo, muy limpio, marginoso y con la impresión fresca y nítida; vestido con su genuina encuadernación original.Referencias: Landwehr, Splendid Ceremonies, 62; Lipperhaide 2657; Berlin Kat 2945; Vinet 621; Palau 31196; Biblioteca Nacional, Los Austrias, 220 First edition of the most sumptuous festival book printed at the Plantin Press, this work was produced in a limited edition of 775 copies only. It is illustrated with 4 engraved architectural title-page, 13 double-page and 15 full-page very fine engraved plates, all by Pieter van der Borcht (1545-1608). The work describes the welcoming celebrations held in Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Valenciennes, in honour of the Regent Archduke Albert of Austria and his wife, Isabella of Spain. Van der Borcht illustrated all the bibles and missals printed by Plantin, and also the botanical works of Dodoens and Charles de l’Ecluse. The lavish plates represent triumphal arches, fireworks, processions, allegorical tableaux, etc., and the costumes of the period are shown in great detail. Of particular interest are the architectural details of houses and other buildings in the streets and public squares, especially in Anvers. Very nice copy in original vellum.

CHAUCER, Geoffrey
The Workes of Our Ancient and Learned English Poet, Geffrey Chaucer, Newly Printed. To That Which Wa Done in the Former Impresion, Thus Much is now Added. 1 In the Life of Chaucer Many Things Inserted. 2. The Whole Workes By Old Copies Reformed.
      Printed By Adam Islip, London 1602 - [23], 374ff, [14]. Collated and complete but for the portrait frontispiece and the preliminary blank, with signatures [a]2- 6, b-c6, A-Nnn6, Ooo-4, Ppp-Ttt6, Vvv-8. Recently rebound in full brown calf, blind double-ruled border to boards, gilt rules to spine, contrasting red morocco title label, gilt. New endpapers. Title page trimmed and laid down, with some loss to decorative woodcut border. Prelims creased, causing some shortening, with edges of pages un-uniform, some paper repairs to gutter margins at head. Some chipping, marginal loss and paper softening, caused by damp-staining, to fore-edge throughout, with the prelims and index the worst affected areas, without any loss of text except for a few letters from the penultimate leaf, Vvv7. Two wormholes to lower margin throughout, not affecting text. Ink annotations, manicules, mannuscript pagination and numbering of individual lines throughout. Leaves b2-5 with some old and more recent paper repairs, mostly to margins, but with some tears to text, occasional loss of words. Despite the flaws of the title, prelims and index, this remains a well preserved copy of the text itself, with the occasional marginal tear or lost corner, but only the occasional rust hole or paper flaw causing any loss of text. Leaves Iii3-4 trimmed at fore-edge, but with annotations in the same hand as the majority of the book suggesting that these have long been integral to this copy. A preliminary (later) blank bears the inscription of David Herd, perhaps the noted Scottish collector of songs and ballads, (bap. 1732, d. 1810)? This might account for the assiduous numbering of lines and annotations regarding the editorial decisions of Thomas Speght. THE SECOND AND BEST THOMAS SPEGHT EDITION, with Chaucer's work printed throughout in black letter. First published by Caxton and later by de Worde, Chaucer's works captured the imagination of the English audience for early printed books, no doubt in part owing to their fitting woodcut illustrations. Thomas Speght (d. 1623), literary editor, eminent Chaucerian and colleague of Francis Beaumont. Speght was responsible for editing the first appearance of an edition of Chaucer's works for more than 37 years, entered into the stationer's register in 1592 and finally published in 1598. Although the first Speght Edition was the first to contain a glossary of terms, with a critical structure akin to newly printed classical works, it is 'in some ways not much more than a revision of Stow's own edition of 1561' (Oxford DNB). Heeding the criticisms of commentators including Francis Thynne, this present edition of Speght's Chaucer was a great improvement upon the first. Not only was it the first to include two works considered part of the Chaucerian canon, Chaucers A.B.C or La Priere de nostre Dame and the anti-clerical, vaguely Wycliffite Jack Upland (now considered to be the work of another), but was also the first to display thorough punctuation (Pforzheimer). Geoffrey Chaucer, (c.1340-1400), poet and administrator. The author of Troilus and Criseyde, the Canterbury Tales and attributed as the writer of many other similar works in middle English. Pforzheimer, with a reputation unrivalled amongst English vernacular poets and challenged in Europe only by Dante. Pforzheimer 178. STC 5080.

THE WORKES OF GEFFREY CHAVCER
      1602. CHAUCER, Geoffrey. THE WORKES OF GEFFREY CHAVCER... $7,500.00 (London: Adam Islip, 1602). Folio. Contemporary full-calf. (xxii), 376, (14) leaves. A good copy of the second of Thomas Speght's complete Workes of Chaucer, significantly enlarged and revised from the first edition of 1598. "It is the earliest in which thorough punctuation was attempted, and in many other ways it is a distinct improvement upon Speght's first edition" (Pforzheimer). The work is dedicated to Sir Robert Cecil, first Earl of Salisbury. An introductory letter by the English dramatist Francis Beaumont defends Chaucer's eminent literary position, as well as explaining some of the aspects of his work. In addition to texts of Chaucer's extant works, and his unfinished masterpiece, The Canterbury Tales, this edition contains a wealth of supplementary material, including a biographical essay and a glossary. Speght's "Life of our Learned English Poet, Geffrey Chaucer," which is prefaced to the present work proved influential, especially accounts of Chaucer's sometimes difficult relationship with the court, and apparent antipathy to the Roman church. In our copy, the large woodcut arms of second title page serves as main title; without both the first title page leaf, and the portrait of Chaucer which is often missing. Thomas Jefferson, William Byrd of Westover, and Robert Carter of Nomini Hall all owned various editions of Chaucer's works. Professionally rebacked, original boards worn and repaired.

In-8, plein vélin souple de l'époque àpetits rabats, 383 p. et (1) p. d'approbation, vignette de titre gravée répétée sur les quatre pages de titre. Edition collective de la correspondance de Juste Lipse, publiée de son vivant, complète des cinq parties sous page de titre et index particuliers, donnée immédiatement à la suite de la première anversoise. L'humaniste flamand, principal artisan de la renaissance du stoïcisme à la fin du XVIe siècle, entretint une abondante correspondance avec les principaux représentants de la « république européenne des lettres ». Cette correspondance, source de première importance pour l'histoire de la vie intellectuelle de la période, est classée en cinq parties, en fonction de la nationalité des destinataires : Allemands, Français, Belges, Flamands et reste du monde. C'est dans la « Centuria tertia ad Belgas » (p. 249-260) que se trouve le glossaire d'ancien néerlandais (vieux-bas-franconien, « Old Low Franconian ») qui demeure un document fondamental pour la connaissance de cette langue. Les qualités de style, d'élégance et de concision de ces lettres constitueront un modèle pour des générations de latinistes. Cf.

DURANTE, CASTORE
HERBARIO NOVO
      Venice: Sessa, 1602. Second Edition.. Extremities a little rubbed, vellum a bit soiled, but the binding perfectly satisfactory, with no serious defects. A small portion of one corner torn away, a few leaves with minor foxing (one preliminary leaf more obviously freckled), other trivial imperfections in the text, but EXTREMELY FINE INTERNALLY nevertheless, the leaves unusually bright, fresh, and clean.. Venice: Sessa, 1602. 330 x 225 mm. (13 x 8 3/4"). Sessa's charming cat and mouse printer's device on title page and in colophon, two woodcut portraits, and 1,075 BOTANICAL WOODCUTS (965 in the text and 110 on 19 pages following the text). Durling 1342 (citing the first printing of 1585); Published in 1585 at the direction of Pope Sixtus V and authored by his personal physician, this popular Italian herbal describes the properties and uses of medicinal herbs from Europe, the West Indies, and Asia and provides us with very detailed and often whimsical woodcut illustrations of salubrious plants. In addition to being a botanist and a doctor, Castore Durante (ca. 1529-90) was a poet, and he wrote the Latin verses that appear as part of many descriptions. In the entry for the arbor tristis, for example, Durante compares the melancholy tree to a nymph, and the fanciful woodcut depicts a tree whose trunk is the body of a woman and whose limbs--with carefully detailed, oversized leaves--are her arms stretching up to the moon and stars above. Many of the woodcuts include a tiny human or animal, either tending or eating the plant, and a mere sprig of a fruit bush is shown as a full-grown tree in the midst of a landscape. These flights of imagination are the work of Leonardo Parasole, an Italian engraver and woodcutter, who took the name of his better-known wife, engraver and designer Isabella Parasole (sometimes mistakenly credited for the work here). Durante, whose position as the doctor of the pope no doubt contributed to his authority and to the market for his works, wrote other family medical guides on hygiene and nutrition. Pleasing old (contemporary?) limp vellum, flat spine with later tan morocco label, renewed endpapers and cloth ties.

"JOUBERT, Laurent;"
Erreurs populaires et propos vulgaires touchant la médecine et le régime de santé, refutez et expliquez (première et seconde parties).
      Paris, Pierre Rigaud, 1602 2 tomes en un volume in-12 de (78) ff., 614 pp., (1) f. bl., (32), 451 pp., vélin de l'époque. C'est l'ouvrage le plus important de ce grand médecin, attaché au service des rois Henri III puis Henri IV. Cette édition restitue la dédicace primitive à Marguerite de Navarre, fille, sœur et femme de Roy qui avait été supprimée dans les éditions précédentes. C'est en scientifique que Joubert réfute les préjugés et croyances populaires concernant la médecine et la diététique. Il traite De la médecine et des médecins, De l'enfant, de la lactation et de l'allaitement, De l'appétit et de la soif, Des repas et de l'enbonpoint, De la digestion, Des fruits et salades particulièrement, Traité des vins, Du coucher et du dormir… Il termine par le Vivre sans manger ainsi que par une nomenclature d'erreurs populaires en langue catalane, espagnole, italienne et latine. A la fin du premier tome se trouve un autre de ses traités parmi les plus célèbre : Question vulgaire : quel langage parleroit un enfant qui n'auroit jamais ouy parler. Il démontre que langage n'est pas inné mais acquis et qu'il dépend de l'audition. Il fonde sa démonstration sur l'observation des sourds-muets de naissance. Par ailleurs, Laurent Joubert fut l'un des principaux artisans d'une tentative de réforme de l'orthographe au XVIe siècle. Il expose ici ses théories à travers 4 feuillets intitulés Advertissement sur l'orthographie de M. Joubert. Exemplaire parfait en vélin de l'époque.

VENNE, Adriaen van de.
No smoking: two Dutch satires on smokers, Sinne-vonck op den Hollandtschen turf, ende des selfs wonder veen-brandt: in gedicht uyt-geschildert, en aen-gewesen op de Haegsche turf-marct. Hier noch by-gevoegt een vermakelijcken Hollandtschen sinne-droom op het Nieuw wys-mal van den ouden Italiaenschen smit; mitsgaders de vindinge der tabacks wonder-smoock, rijckelijck verciert met konst-beelden.
      (Wt-gevormt in de poëtische druckerije van) Isaac Burchoorn for the author, 1602, The Hague, - 16mo in eights (12,5x9,5 cm). Contemporary vellum with title in ink on spine. Full-page engraved author's portrait by Daniël van den Bremden and two signed engravings in text by Adriaen Jacobsz. Matham after Adriaen van de Venne in the first part, full-page engraved plate and six unsigned engravings in text in the second part. 111 (1 blank); (32), 108, (4, first and last blank) pp. First and only edition of a rare popular book containing a laudatory poem on peat, including a satire on smoking in the first and one of the earliest laudatory poems on tobacco, including also a satire in the second part, by the famous Adriaen Pietersz. van de Venne (1589-1662). Van de Venne was a versatile Dutch Baroque painter of allegories, genre subjects and portraits, as well as a miniaturist, book-illustrator and designer of political satires and a good versifier. He went to Leiden to learn to paint, then lived in Middelburg from 1614 and was influenced by Jan Brueghel the Elder and Pieter Brueghel the Elder. Van de Venne also worked as a book illustrator and print designer. He designed among other books the plates of Jacob Cats's Sinne- en minne beelden. Van de Venne moved to The Hague and joined the Guild of Saint Luke in 1625, taking the position of dean in 1637. He was a founding member of Pictura, a group bent on improving the independent status and social position of the artist in Dutch society.In the first part of this book, 'the author, after describing and praising the qualities of Dutch peat, relates (undoubtedly as a satire on smokers) an amusing incident which he says he had witnessed. A farmer, standing on his peat-loaded ship, was smoking a pipe and thus appeared to onlookers to be on fire. Great confusion reigned while some ran for ladders and shovels, and other for water with which to extinguish the assumed blaze, until the nature of the smoke was explained' (Arents). The two illustrative engravings, in fine strong impressions, show a Dutch peat-ship with views of the Hague in the background. The title of the second part, Hollandsche sinne-droom op het Nieuw wys-mal van den ouden Italiaensche smit, ende des selfs gevonden tabacks-wonder-smoock (The Hague, Adriaen van de Venne, 1634) is mentioned on the the title-page of the first part, but also has its own title-page and pagination so that it also could be sold separately. In this part, written in the manner of Jacob Cats, 'is related a lengthy and involved fable in verse, presented a someone's dream, in which the two chief characters are Doddus, a blacksmith, and his helper, Julfus. In the course of their travels they come upon a field where grows a special herb. Doddus determines to make tobacco out of this. Julfus is of the opinion that tobacco smells bad. He is told by his master that it is not food for the belly but is intended only for the nose, mouth and head. Upon the death of Doddus, Julfus plans to propagate ths use of tobacco over the earth. Tobacco, he soliloquizes, deserves fame, for it clarifies poor eyesight, expels lice, and drives away wives. It has, too, other valuable remedial and social powers.' (Arents). The full-page engraving in this part shows an impressive portrait of the blacksmith, and the engravings in text illustrate the play. Good copy.- (Recased, with new endpapers; some sl. waterst.; old owner's ms. entry of first half-title; tiny hole in one leaf, due to original defect in paper, at bottom of C1).

DICKENSON, J.).
The arbitrariness of fate, Speculum Tragicum. Regum, Principum, & Magnatum superioris soeculi celebriorum ruinas exitusque calamitosos breviter complectens: in quo & iudicia divina & imbecillitas humana insignibus exemplis declarantur.
      Iacobus Foenicolius, 890, Delphis Batavorum, - Small 8vo. Contemporary vellum, with red title-label on spine. (6), 127, (11) pp. First edition of a popular literary work on the tragic fate of many of the Great of the Earth by John Dickenson. In 1602 the work was taken over by the Elzevirs and several times republished. The book is dedicated, under the author's full name, Ioannes Dickensonus, to George Gilpin, the commercial agent of Queen Elisabeth of England in the Low Countries. It is still undecided wether the present author, whose latin prose and verse is described as having the charm of ease and elegance, is to be identified with the popular English author of the same name, who wrote romances in the English tongue, much in the tradition of Lyly and Greene, the best known of which was "The Shepheardes Complaint" from about 1594. The present work contains numerous short stories on the tragic fate, not only of European and Russian princes, but also on Turkish, Moorish and Egyptian princes, and even the story of Motexuma from Mexico, and of Atabalipa, the King of Peru. The genre was very popular and judged most educational as they reminded people of the arbitrariness of human fate. Fine copy of the rare first edition, with the bookplate of Clifford Coates.- (Small piece cut out of title and repaired, not affecting text; line of greek characters in old ink on top-margin on title). Cf. Willems 44 (Elzevir-ed. of 1602). [Attributes: First Edition]

JOANNE AZORIO LORCITANO
INSTITUTIONUM MORALIUM IN QUIBUS UNIVERSAE QUAESTIONES AD CONSCENTIAM RECTE, AUT PRAVE FACTORUM PERTINENTES BREVITER TRACTANTUR PARS PRIMA
      APUD HIERONYMUM, ET NICOLAUM POLUM, VENETIIS 1602 - In 4. Dim. 32x22,5x5,5 cm. Pp. 10 (n.n.)+1690+45 (n.n.). Rara edizione completa del 1603 di questa famosa opera del gesuita spagnolo Juan Azor (1536-1603). Azor studiò filosofia ad Alcalà. Visse per diversi anni anche a Roma. Il primo volume dell'opera apparve a Roma nel 1600, il secondo sei anni più tardi ed il terzo nel 1611. Il nostro volume è pertanto in sè completo. Lo scritto ebbe molto successo tanto che venne onorato da un discorso di papa Clemente VIII, fortemente raccomandato da Jacques Benigne Bossuet e tenuto in considerazione da Sant'Alfonso de Liguori. Tra gli argomenti trattati: i peccati, l'eresia, i peccati capitali, la legge, i precetti della Chiesa, la fede, il noviziato ed il sacerdozio, gli ordini religiosi militari. Frontespizio in rosso e nero con bella vignetta xilografica. Testo a due colonne, numerazione doppia. Antica firma al frontespizio e note manoscritte nel testo. Copertina in piena pergamena in cattive condizioni generali con usure ai margini, dorso assente, parti mancanti e piatti quasi staccati; segni di tarlo. Legatura in buone condizioni con qualche rottura. All'interno le pagine si presentano in buone condizioni generali con fioriture e qualche rara brunitura. Lieve gora d'umidità alle prime 12 pagine e da pag. 1674 sino alla fine del volume. Qualche piccola gora marginale. Segno di tarlo ai contropiatti e carte bianche. Numerosi errori di numerazione ma nessuna pagina mancante. Scarce complete edition of 1603 of this famous work by the spanish jesuit Juan Azor (1536-1603). Azor studied philosophy in Alcalà. He lived also for different years in Rome. The first volume of the work appeared in Rome in 1600, the second one six years later and the third one in 1611. Thus our work is complete in itself. The writing has so much success that was honoured with a brief of the Pope Clemente VIII, strongly recommended by Jacques Benigne Bossuet and held into consideration by Saint Alfonso de Liguori. Among the issues treated: the pities, heresies, the deadly sins, the precepts of church, faith, priests, military religious orders. Red and black title page with beautiful xilographic vignette. Two columns text, double numbering. Ancient dignature in the title page and manuscripted notes in the text. Parchment coeval cover in bad general conditions with worn the edges; spine missing, missing parts and plates almost detached; woodworm signs. Binding in good conditions with some crack. Inside pages are in good conditions with foxings and some yellowings. Slight humidity stains in the first 12 pages and from pag. 1674 until the end of the volume. Some little humidity stain. Woodworm signs in the internal part of the plates and in white pages. Different faults of numbering but no page is missing. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Pergamino, Giacomo
Il Memoriale della lingua estratto dalle scritture de' migliori e piu nobili autori antichi ; ridotto in ordine d'alfabeto
      Venice: Giovanni Battista Ciotti, 1602. First edition. Reference: Bruni & Evans, 4042; Fontanini I,80 ("il primo Vocabolario pieno e metodico"); Gamba 2757 (1617 ed.); Vinciana 3839 (1656 ed., "uno dei migliori vocabolari italiani pubblicati prima della Crusca."). Folio (31 cm); [12], 524, 395 [i.e. 375], lacks two unnumbered leaves errata at end. Title page in red and black. Printer's device on title page and colophon. Text printed in two columns. Woodcut head pieces; initials. Rebacked in period style, retaining eighteenth-century boards in flecked calf gilt with double fillets. Title page and colophon a little worn, but contents generally clean and bright. Few marginal worm trails. Discrete 19th-century library blindstamp on title page, colophon, and few other leaves. The first methodical Italian dictionary based on literary examples, il Memoriale della lingua appeared ten years before the Accademia della Crusca issued its famous dictionary. Gamba points out that Pergamino, who was a friend of Tasso, utilized examples that the Crusca missed, such as Tasso's dialogues, Guido Cavalcanti, Ludovico Dolce and Gian Giorgio Trissino. The first edition is quite scarce, absent from recent auction records, with copies scattered in a few important libraries. Gamba himself saw only the second edition of 1617. A third edition appeard in 1656.

DURANTE, CASTORE.
HERBARIO NOVO.
      Venice: Sessa, 1602 - 6 p.l., 492, [32], [19], [1] pp. Second Edition. Pleasing old (contemporary?) limp vellum, flat spine with later tan morocco label, renewed endpapers and cloth ties. Sessa's charming cat and mouse printer's device on title page and in colophon, two woodcut portraits, and 1,075 BOTANICAL WOODCUTS (965 in the text and 110 on 19 pages following the text). Extremities a little rubbed, vellum a bit soiled, but the binding perfectly satisfactory, with no serious defects. A small portion of one corner torn away, a few leaves with minor foxing (one preliminary leaf more obviously freckled), other trivial imperfections in the text, but EXTREMELY FINE INTERNALLY nevertheless, the leaves unusually bright, fresh, and clean. Durling 1342 (citing the first printing of 1585); Nissen BBI 569; Wellcome I, 1962. Published in 1585 at the direction of Pope Sixtus V and authored by his personal physician, this popular Italian herbal describes the properties and uses of medicinal herbs from Europe, the West Indies, and Asia and provides us with very detailed and often whimsical woodcut illustrations of salubrious plants. In addition to being a botanist and a doctor, Castore Durante (ca. 1529-90) was a poet, and he wrote the Latin verses that appear as part of many descriptions. In the entry for the arbor tristis, for example, Durante compares the "melancholy tree" to a nymph, and the fanciful woodcut depicts a tree whose trunk is the body of a woman and whose limbs--with carefully detailed, oversized leaves--are her arms stretching up to the moon and stars above. Many of the woodcuts include a tiny human or animal, either tending or eating the plant, and a mere sprig of a fruit bush is shown as a full-grown tree in the midst of a landscape. These flights of imagination are the work of Leonardo Parasole, an Italian engraver and woodcutter, who took the name of his better-known wife, engraver and designer Isabella Parasole (sometimes mistakenly credited for the work here). Durante, whose position as the doctor of the pope no doubt contributed to his authority and to the market for his works, wrote other family medical guides on hygiene and nutrition. $6200 [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

BOSSE, A.
First exposition of Desargues' Perspective Universelle, Maniere universelle de Mr. Desargues, pour pratiquer la perspective par petit-pied, comme le geometral. Ensemble les places et proportions des fortes & foibles touches, teintes ou couleurs.
      Pierre Des-Hayes, 15441, Paris, - 2 parts in 1 vol. 8vo. Original vellum. With fine engraved allegorical frontispiece, full-page engraved armorial dedication to Michel Larcher, full-page engraved portrait of Michel Larcher, engraved allegorical title next to the lettterpress title, engraved table at the end, and numerous plans and designs of perspective on 158 full-page engraved plates, all by Abraham Bosse. (16), 342, (2) pp. First edition of one of the most richly illustrated works by Abraham Bosse (1602-1676), promoting and fully explaining and demonstrating the rules of the new "universal perspective", invented by Girard Desargues (1593-1661). The first part of the work is sub-titled: "Regle de la Pratique de la Perspective, pour le traict des Figures, d'Assiette, d'Eslevation, de Profil & d'Ombre ou d'Ombrage", and most richly and clearly explains and depicts on 124 numbered plates the application of Desargues' method for architects, relief sculptors, civil engineers, the drawing of prospects and shadows, etc. Special attention is given also to the illusionistic perspective designs of domes, vaults, passages, ceilings, etc. The sub-title of the second part reads: "Regle de la Pratique de la Perspective, pour les Places et Proportions des Fortes & Foibles Touches, Teintes ou Couleurs". This part clearly explains and depicts on plates 125-156 the rules of the practical application of Desargues' universal perspective for military engineers, fortifications, etc., as well as for painters, for the perspecitive for shades and colours. All plates were made by Abraham Bosse, and are numbered 1 to 156, but the numbers 151 and 156 were used twice. The book also includes an added treatise by Desargues himself, on pages 321-334, in which he both stated and geometrically proved FOR THE FIRST TIME in print what is now known as Desargues' theorem: that if the three lines joining the corresponding vertices of two triangles intersect in a point, then the corresponding sides of the two triangles intersect in three points on a line, and vice versa. This is dated at the end: "A Paris en May 1636". That it was added to Bosse's book was only discovered by Servois in 1804. The treatise of 1636 in which Desargues announced his revolutionary theorem was until recently completely lost. Now a single known copy is to be found in the Bibliothèque Nationale at Paris. Bosse's works, using and promoting the theorem of Desargues, were heavily criticized by the Jesuit publisher's on perspective, as a virtual "war about perspective" raged at the time. But the newly founded "Académie Royale" supported the "new" theorem and its defenders, and in 1648 Bosse was invited to teach perspective at the Academy at Paris. As engraver Abraham Bosse was not eligible as a member of the "Académie", but he was made a Honorary Member in 1651 in recognition of his teaching. Bosse's works present also a good idea of his lectures, in which he gave direct and clear instructions on the application of Desargues's "Manière Universelle" to the various arts.

DE BRY, Theodor
Americae Nona & Postrema Pars
      Frankfurt: Matthias Becker, 1602. First Latin edition of the ninth part of the De Bry!s Grand Voyages, containing an extremely important account of a Pacific voyage by Olivier van Noort -- as well as much ethnographic material relating to the indigenous Indian culture of Mexico and Peru. As the importance of the America material in all of the De Bry volumes is extremely well-known -- !the cornerstone of every library of Americana! (Penrose) --, let us focus on the Pacific material. Like the earlier parts of the De Bry series, this volume provided the majority of European readers with the first detailed illustrations of many of the locales described, particularly of the Philippines and other Pacific locales. In fact, according to Lach, the van Noort account contains !the earliest first-hand Dutch descriptions of the Ladrones (Marianas), the Philippines, and Borneo.! -- Asia III.1.442. On the political front, it was the first publication to inform Europe that the Spanish monopoly of the Pacific was being aggressively challenged by the Dutch, including an illustration showing the battle of Manila. Van Noort journeyed to the Moluccas via the Straits of Magellan, entering them in September of 1599 but, owing to disastrous weather conditions in that precipitous region, it did not reach the Pacific until the end of the following February. Continuing along the coast of Chile, he stopped at Peru, New Spain, and eventually reached the Mariana Islands, Manila, Borneo and Java. !Van Noort describes the Ladrones very much as did the earlier Spanish writers: the people are superb swimmers, incorrigible thieves, live without law, hold women in common, and subsist on bananas, coconuts, sweet potatoes and sugar cane, which they gladly trade for pieces of old iron. The Dutch writer reports on the visible damage suffered by many of the islanders from the Spanish pox (syphilis)... the Dutch were impressed and somewhat bewildered by the vast number of Philippine islands. To thread their way from the San Bernadino Straits to Manila they seized both native canoes and a Chinese junk to obtain pilots. They notice the usually naked and tattooed natives, the houses on stilts, and the many boats and ships which bring what is called tribute from the outlying islands to the Spanish at Manila. From a captured Chinese pilot they learned much about Manila!s size and fortification and about its large Chinese settlement. Luzon is thought to be larger than Scotland and England combined.! -- Lach, III.1.442. Chirino (Cartography of the Philippines) includes 4 maps in the present volume, all notable for their early date: #9 Ladrones insula descriptio; #10 Quid in Ladrones insula Hollandis acciderit; #11 De sinu Baye la Baye, which he terms the !first scene of Albay in southern Luzon province, where Admiral van Noort paused on route to Manila. Dutch ship is anchored in the bay, with a tattooed native holding a bow and arrow, while another wears shorts!; #13 Hollandorum cum Hispanis ante Manillam pugna navalis. The van Noort was first published in Dutch, in editions of 1601 and a corrected edition of 1602. As the first Latin edition, this account in the de Bry series was the first to gain a general European readership. * Church 168; Griffin, Bibliography of the Philippines, p. 24; Medina XXX; Chirino, Cartography of the Philippines p. 20 & pp. 79ff.. Folio, 362 pp., with 1 map outside collation; (1) f., xxv numbered plates; 100 pp (misbound after plates); (1) f., XIV plates. Bound in later vellum. Blank lower margin of title and following 2 leaves re-margined; typical light browning to text leaves almost always seen in this series, but generally not affecting maps and plates, which are in very good impressions. Good.

"JOUBERT, Laurent;"
Erreurs populaires et propos vulgaires touchant la médecine et le régime de santé, refutez et expliquez (première et seconde parties).
      Paris, Pierre Rigaud, 1602 2 tomes en un volume in-12 de (78) ff., 614 pp., (1) f. bl., (32), 451 pp., vélin de l'époque. C'est l'ouvrage le plus important de ce grand médecin, attaché au service des rois Henri III puis Henri IV. Cette édition restitue la dédicace primitive à Marguerite de Navarre, fille, sœur et femme de Roy qui avait été supprimée dans les éditions précédentes. C'est en scientifique que Joubert réfute les préjugés et croyances populaires concernant la médecine et la diététique. Il traite De la médecine et des médecins, De l'enfant, de la lactation et de l'allaitement, De l'appétit et de la soif, Des repas et de l'enbonpoint, De la digestion, Des fruits et salades particulièrement, Traité des vins, Du coucher et du dormir… Il termine par le Vivre sans manger ainsi que par une nomenclature d'erreurs populaires en langue catalane, espagnole, italienne et latine. A la fin du premier tome se trouve un autre de ses traités parmi les plus célèbre : Question vulgaire : quel langage parleroit un enfant qui n'auroit jamais ouy parler. Il démontre que langage n'est pas inné mais acquis et qu'il dépend de l'audition. Il fonde sa démonstration sur l'observation des sourds-muets de naissance. Par ailleurs, Laurent Joubert fut l'un des principaux artisans d'une tentative de réforme de l'orthographe au XVIe siècle. Il expose ici ses théories à travers 4 feuillets intitulés Advertissement sur l'orthographie de M. Joubert. Exemplaire parfait en vélin de l'époque.

      Vitalis Mascardi, for Blasius Deversin & Zanobius Masotti, 14823, Rome, - Folio. Contemporary vellum. With richly engraved hermetic and symbolic frontispiece by F. Valentius, large engraved double publisher's devices on title; title printed in red and black; full-page engraved emblematic plate for the dedication with the portrait of Emperor Ferdinand IV in the centre; 34 mostly full-page engraved plates; 215 woodcut illustrations, about 50 tables and several examples of musical scores in the text. (32), 618, (28) pp. The third much enlarged, thoroughly revised and best edition, of one of the major scientific works by the famous German Jesuit scholar, Athanasius Kircher (1602-1680), a truly encyclopedic work on magnetism. Born in Mainz, Kircher was educated in the humanities, natural science, and the various disciplines of 17th century mathematics. He also studied hieroglyphics and observed the sunspots with a telescope of his own invention, before he was, in 1628, appointed professor in philosophy and mathematics, and in Hebrew and Eastern languages as well, at the University of Würzburg. Here he also experimented with medicine and chemistry. Still in Würzburg he published in 1631 his first major work, his Ars Magnetica, in which he extensively reports on his invention of a method for measuring magnetic power by means of a balance. The present copy is the third and best edition of this work. Because of the 30-Year's War Kircher fled with his best pupil Caspar Scott to France were he was appointed professor at Avignon, where he met Hevelius and Gassendi and corresponded with Schreiner. In 1633 he was appointed by Ferdinand II as professor in mathematics at Vienna, but on his journey he arrived by chance in Rome, where, in 1638, he was appointed professor of mathematics at the College in Rome, where he lectured for eight years. Then he withdrew to devote himself entirely to his studies and his scientific experiments, all in all spending some forty-six years of working and studying in private. At the time Rome was the centre of a worldwide network of Jesuit missionaries and others who reported on their journeys and new discoveries. Kircher's studies and experiments covered practically all fields in both the humanities and the sciences. He wanted to comprehend as well as to disseminate all the knowledge that was available at his time. Kircher published some 44 books and left over 2,000 letters and manuscripts, now in the Vatican Library. He published several richly illustrated compendia in various fields which became very popular, like an encyclopedic work on music, Musurgia Universalis, published at Rome in 1650, an encyclopedic work on optics, Ars Magna lucis et umbrae, published at Rome in 1646, and of course the present work on magnetism, which was for Kircher an omnibus of scientific and also phantastic theories. He researched and measured magnetism in all fields, in cosmology, astronomy, geography, optics, ectricity, medicine, metals, animals, music, love, etc. The numerous plates and illustrations depict magnetism in the spheres, magnetic calendars, compasses, astrolabes, experiments with magnets in art and nature, etc. Of interest are Kircher's theories on electricity and most remarkable are his expositions on musical magnetism.

SMITH, William - STENT, Peter
Essexiae Comitatus description ...
      London: , 1602-[c.1645]. 440 x 560 mm., with two minor tears just effecting the margin lower centre, expertly repaired, otherwise in very good condition. William Smith (1550-1618) was an antiquary and an office of the College of Arms. The twelve maps of William Smith were for years known famously as those of the ANONYMOUS map maker. Although ten of them are derived from those of Christopher Saxton and two from John Norden they are no mere slavish copies. Smith sought local knowledge to improve on earlier works much of which was incorporated into his maps. One such correspondent called William Burton provides the only firm evidence we have that the engraver of the plates was Jodocus Hondius. In 1958 the British Museum acquired four manuscript maps from the Netherlands which provided the conclusive evidence of the authorship of William Smith. These were of Cheshire, Hertfordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire. The name of Hans Woutneel, a Dutch bookseller in London, can be found in connection with two of the maps, but only on one engraved, that of Essex dated 1602. This has led to speculation that his departure from the project, Hondius’ departure to work on the copper plates for the atlas of John Speed, or the latter’s imminent production were sufficient to end the series. The maps of William Smith beautifully engraved by Hondius remain one of the most desirable of any English county maps. Those in the first state are VIRTUALLY UNOBTAINABLE. Peter Stent loomed very large in the London market for loose prints and maps from about 1641 until his death. Sometime quite probably during the English Civil war when there was an increased demand for maps of the counties Stent acquired the copper plates to William Smith’s maps. It was certainly by c.1655 when his lists them in his broadside catalogue. He was to sell them as individual sheets with his added imprint Printed and sould by P. Stent and are therefore of EXTREME RARITY on the market today. The map displays London in the west and is derived from that of Christopher Saxton though roads have been added following John Norden. Smith must have had access to the unpublished manuscript of the county by Norden. Skelton (1970) p. 21 & no. 49; Imago Mundi 36 pp. 90-2.

It was by a relative of Calvin, and under his own patronage, that the work of improving the English translation of the Bible was once more taken in hand. In two respects this marked an epoch in the history of the English Bible. It was the first version to be printed in Roman type, and the first in which the division of the text into numbered verses (originally made by Robert Stephanus for his Greaco-Latin Bible of 1551) was introduced. A preface was contributed by Calvin himself. The translator claims to have made constant use of the original Greek and of translations in other tongues, and he added a full marginal commentary. Furthermore, it was at once made the basis of a revised version of both Testaments by a group of Puritan scholars. The result was a version which completely distanced its predecessors in scholarship, while in style and vocabulary it worthily carried on the great tradition established by Tyndale. Its success was as decisive as it was well deserved; and in one respect it met a want which none of its predecessors had attempted to meet. Coverdale's, Matthew's, and the Great Bible were all large folios, suitable for use in church, but unsuited both in size and in price for private possession and domestic study. The Geneva Bible, on the contrary, was moderate in both respects, and achieved instant and long-enduring popularity as the Bible for personal use. For a full century it continued to be the Bible of the people, and it was upon this version, and not upon that of King James, that the Bible knowledge of the Puritans of the Civil War was built up. Its notes furnished them with a full commentary on the sacred text, predominantly horatory or monitory in character, but Calvinistic in general tone, and occasionally definitely polemical.#11;#11;Minor scuffing and staining to boards.

It is the earliest in which thorough punctuation was attempted, and in many ways was a distinct improvement upon SpeghtOs first edition.O Pforzheimer catalogue Chaucer's work is the cornerstone of English poetry. Next to Shakespeare's folio, it is probably the most influential work in English. The importance of Chaucer's role in the development of vernacular English would take (and has taken) volumes to describe. ChaucerOs classic tale of a band of pilgrims en route to Canterbury was written in about 1387 and consisted of 17,000 lines in prose and verse of various metres, although the rhyming couplet is predominate. The importance of ChaucerOs tale to English literary history is paramount, its themes, characters and style would be to English nearly what Homer is to Greek.

BRAHE, Tycho.
Astronomiae instauratae mechanica.
      - Nuremberg, Levinus Hulsius, 1602. Folio. ff [liv], ):(4, A-E6,F4,G-H6,I4 (E4 signed F4) Roman letter with some Greek, woodcut initials, elaborate head and tailpieces, title with large engraved portrait of the author within architectural border containing the arms of the families of Brahe and Bille, 25 full page illustrations of astronomical instruments etc., 6 of which are engraved, 18 woodcut, and 5 smaller woodcuts, occasional marginal pencil annotations, bookplate of J.L.E. Dreyer on pastedown, with his autograph on fly 1875, F.J.M. Duarte's on pastedown. Very light dampstaining to lower outer corners. A fine, unusually clean copy in contemporary vellum over boards, cloth chemise and quarter morocco slipcase. With some C19 printed and ms. material, probably Dreyer's. Second edition of one of Brahe's most important works, a description of his astronomical instruments and of the observatory at Hven and the earliest obtainable edition. It comprises exactly the same sheets as the first with a new t-p. The first was produced for private distribution only and probably between 60 and 100 copies were printed. Tycho became adept at designing scientific instruments, including the sextant, and making observations during his early travels in Europe. Upon his return to Denmark he fell into favor with King Frederick II who provided Tycho with the monetary support he needed to continue his astronomical research. In 1576, the King gave him the small island of Hven in the Danish straits, and Tycho quickly began construction of his observatory complex which he christened Uraniborg (heavenly castle). He designed massive instruments for his observatory with which he hoped to obtain the most accurate astronomical observations ever made. Tycho believed that if he could construct large stable instruments that were precise, easily readable, and used with painstaking care, he could provide the world with the observations it needed to finally uncover the true nature of the universe. In 1584 he added a second observatory, Stjerneborg, with additional instruments in 5 subterranean rooms and a study with only the vaulted roof and the tops of the walls above ground. Brahe's brass-encased globe was housed in the library of the main building: "On this globe, over the years, Tycho marked the exact positions, referred to the year 1600, of the fixed stars that he observed. In the southwest room on the ground floor at Uraniborg. was Tycho's most famous instrument, the mural quadrant [for measuring the altitude at which celestial bodies crossed the meridian], with a radius of about six feet. Inside the quadrant's arc, for ornamental purposes, was painted a life-size portrait of Tycho seated at a table, with arm outstretched as though pointing to a cylinder." (DSB). The Mechanica begins with a dedication to Rudolf and is followed by a poem to Tycho by his good friend Holger Rosenkrantz. Next are twenty-one illustrations of his astronomical instruments and their corresponding descriptions (originally, Tycho had planned for eighteen woodcut illustrations, but decided to include four new engravings of other instruments he thought worthy of mention). After two pages of brief descriptions of other instruments, the twenty-second instrument (the great brass globe) is described, followed by a description of Tycho's astronomical accomplishments. Tycho includes an appendix describing his observatory facilities at Hven and the construction of his instruments including some woodcuts. The work then closes with a supplement on the measuring scales and sights of his instruments. After Tycho's death in 1601, it his heirs sold the Mechanica's woodcuts and copper-plate engravings to the N?rnberg writer and printer Levinus Hulsius. The only difference in content between the 1598 edition and the one of 1602 is that the latter includes a portrait of Tycho bound in place of the vignette on the first edition's title page (although a few of the 1598 copies did have a different waterco
