Contemp. spotted calf blind rules on covers spine banded gilt rules title on red morocco label bottom spine cap off front hinge split at bottom some laether worn from cover edges speckled red; endpapers renewed in the 19th c minor stain in inner margin of last 8 leaves; wormholes in lower margin a pinhole through the text and some tracking on pp555-594 with some losses.The paper is quite clean and crisp otherwise. 8vo. Frontispiece of Wharton plate of chiromantical hand astrological charts in text. T.p. in red and black. Wharton Sir George 1617-1681 first baronet astrologer and royalist. "He pursued his astrological studies at Oxford with much industry. On 22 March 1644-1645 he made at Oxford the acquaintance of Elias Ashmole whom he first instructed in alchemy and astrology. Ashmole and Wharton remained friends for life.Wharton involved himself in embittered controversy with rival astrologers who were politically opposed to him. He attacked with especial rancour William Lilly John Partridge and John Booker and for many years he maintained against them a war of vituperation. Wharton's almanac for 1644 which he printed at Oxford under the name of Naworth 'with His Maiesties command' was severely assailed by Booker in his pamphlet entitled 'Mercurius Celius.' Wharton retorted in 'Mercurio-Celicio-Mastix; or an Anti-caveat to all such as have heretofore had the misfortune to be Cheated and Deluded by that Grand and Traiterous Impostor of this Rebellious Age John Booker : Printed Anno Dom. 1644.' In Wharton's almanac for next year he first supplied his own name on the title-page and described himself as student in 'the Mathematicks.' In the preface he denounced Booker as 'that clubfisted fellow' and Booker's friend Partridge as !that blood hound.' Under each month of the calendar he catalogued the chief events of the war then in progress and interspersed his work with scurrilous rhymes. 'An Astrologicall Judgement upon his Majesties Present March: Begun from Oxford May 7 1645. ! By George Wharton' was published at Oxford by H. Hall in the same year. At the same time Lilly in his !Starry Messenger' denounced Wharton as a man of 'no worth' a pun on Naworth and charged him with plagiarism.#11;After the surrender of Oxford in 1646 Wharton 'was put to his shifts and lived as opportunity served.' He was in Yorkshire in September 1646 when he wrote 'Bellum Hybernicale: or Irelands Warre. Astrologically demonstrated from the late Celestiall congresse of the two Malevolent planets Saturne and Mars in Taurus the Ascendent of that Kingdome' 1646-7 4to. Shortly afterwards he renewed his attack on Lilly in 'Merlini Anglici Errata.' Subsequently he removed to his native place in Westmorland. In August 1647 he was ill of the plague. On his recovery he took part in publishing a quarto sheet week by week in London under the title 'Mercurius Elenchicus.' There he venomously satirised the proceedings of the parliament. On 12 March 1648-9 he was arrested and sent to Newgate by order of the parliament. On 26 Aug. he escaped from the prison and remained in concealment until 21 Nov. 1649 when he was recaptured and committed to the Gatehouse Westminster. In the autumn of 1650 Ashmole who befriended him throughout his troubles learned that John Bradshaw the president of the council of state had resolved to have him hanged. Ashmole appealed to Lilly to use his interest with his patron Bulstrode Whitelocke so as to procure Wharton's release. In the result Wharton was discharged from prison after engaging to write nothing thenceforth 'against the parliament or state.' On regaining his liberty he was quite destitute and Ashmole generously invited him and his family to occupy his house at Bradfield in Berkshire. For a time Wharton acted as Ashmole's agent on the estate but he chiefly occupied himself with his almanacs. In 1657 and three following years he gave them the new title of 'Calendarium Ecclesiasticum' and added under the title of 'Gesta Britannorum' a useful chronological table of the leading events in English history from 1600. In 1652 he brought out a translation of a Latin treatise on palmistry or chiromancy called 'The Art of Divining by the Lines and Signatures engraven in the hand of man written by John Rothman M.D.Wood calls him Oa constant and thorough paced royalist a good companion a witty droll and a waggish poet." DNB#11;Nothing is known about Rothmann other than he was a mathematician and physician who practiced in Saschen-Anhalt. He published his Chiromantiae Theorica Practica in 1595 which was an attempt to bring chiromancy and astrology together into one discipline."The highly abstruse and theoretical astrology would benefit by being tied down to so worldly a thing as flesh and bood while palistry already struggling in a tightly fixed symbolism would be given more freedom bty its association with an art which followed a prolix individual reading for any one symbol.' Gettings Book of the Hand179. "Only five books on Palmistry were published in the English language between 1500 and 1700 three of them translations.This is one of the most beguiling."Fitzherbert Palmist's Companion Wing W1538.

Publisher: Venetiis ex typographia Ambrosi Dei, 1617 The title-page printed in red and black within a deep and attractive engraved architectural border, pages (54), (2, blank), 969, (41), 4to, contemporary vellum : the binding worn and stained, the inside front hinge cracked though the stitching strong and otherwise a very good copy with the attractive engraved title-page well-margined and not cut close or trimmed. Bellarmine (1542-1621), the supreme Catholic apologist of his age, reached such an authoritative position that for a time most exposition of the Protestant case took the form merely of answers to his works.

Amsterdam, Michiel Colijn, 1617.. Oblong 4to. Eighteenth-century vellum with double gilt fillets along the edges and gilt floral border with four corner pieces on both sides, title lettered in gold on spine, gilt edges, ties lacking. With large engraved allegorical plate on title with a native woman sitting on a beach surrounded by all kinds of merchandise, large folding engraved plate of the city Kandi on Ceylon (350 x 395 mm), folding engraved map of Ceylon (298 202 mm), 8 full-page and 2 smaller engraved plates in text. 41, (1) leaves.. Fifth edition (re-edition of the fourth edition) of this account of the famous journey of the German navigator in Dutch service Joris van Spilbergen (Spielbergen) (1558-1620). Under the auspices of the entrepreneur Balthasar de Moucheron, Spilbergen left for the East Indies with three ships: Het Lam (the lamb), De Ram (the ram), and Het Schaap (the sheep). He sailed from Vere in Zeeland on 5 May 1601. In November he rounded Cape of Good Hope to reach Ceylon (Sri Lanka) in May 1602. Until September the fleet was anchored at Batticaloa on Ceylon's east coast where Spilbergen negotiated with the king of Kandy, promising military assistance against the Portuguese. Between September 1602 and March 1603 he was at Banda Atjeh, in Sumatra, negotiating with the sultan and hunting for Portuguese ships. In February 1603 ships of the newly founded Dutch East India Company arrived at Atjeh and were joined by Spilbergen's fleet. After spending the summer of 1603 at Bantam in Java, Spilbergen ruturned to Holland with his two remaining ships and arrived at Vlissingen on 24 March 1604.The first four editions of the Journal were published by Floris Balthasars at Delft in 1604-5. Balthasars also was the engraver of the plates. The present edition is a corrected re-edition of the fourth edition of 1605, printed in two columns, without the dedication and the songs at the end.The title calls for 17 plates, but this edition has only 13 plates and our copy is perfectly complete: on the verso of the title with the allegorical plate, there is a beautiful view of Veere; further in text: full-page plates of Puerto Dale (f. 3r), Cape of Good Hoop with the Table mountain (f. 8r), the coast of Anabon (f. 12r), Matecalao on Ceylon (19r), Vintano, also on Ceylon (f. 22r), Matecalao, on Ceylon (f. 25r) and the ship ('Kraek') of Ste Thomo sailing in the Strait of Malacca (f. 33r), and two smaller plates on f. 29r: coat of arms of the king of Ceylon (91 x 99 mm), and a ring with the God of the king of Maticalo ( 120 x 104 mm) on f. 30r. Between ff. 22 and 23 there is the folding plate of the city of Kandi (Ceylon; 350 x 395 mm); and between f. 28 and 29 the map of the Island Ceylon (298 x 202). Good and nicely bound copy with bookplates of (1) the Australian bookseller Henry L. White (Australian ornithology, philately and bibliography), (2) the Autralian bookseller A.H. Spencer, Melbourne, and (3) G. & N. Ingleton.- (Some outer margins strengthened). Tiele 1021; Tiele, Mem . p. 158; Howego S-158; edition by W. Nijhoff a. o. (The Hague 1933).

Amstelredami: Ex Officina Guilielmi Ianssonij 1617 Small 8vo., [xvi] + folding plate + 714 + [28] index pp. 8, A-Zz8, [2]. Illustrated with 46 maps, including two folding, Anglia Scotia et Hibernia and Yorkshire. Lacks engraved portrait of Camden, and title page, copy of original 1617 title page bound in. Typed list of maps on front paste-down. Bound in contemporary calf, blind-stamped centrepiece front and back with spine rebacked, gilt calf. Centrepiece is identical to xliv, in Pearson, Oxford Bookbinding 1500-1640 (Oxford Bibliographical Society, 2000) recorded in use c.1605-1615. Lacks original title page and the engraved portrait, a few page edge abrasions and some old repairs but otherwise good copy with all maps complete and in fine condition. This edition is identical to that described by Skelton, 12. Dedication by Regner Vitellius, containing reference to ‘Camdeni Britanniam...contractam, tabulisque chorographicis illustratam, hac manuaria forma vulgare pararet Gulielmus noster Iansonius’ [i.e. Willem Jansz. Blaeu] (Skelton). Forty-four of the maps were engraved by Pieter Van den Keere probably in Amsterdam around 1605 and were partly based on those appearing in Christopher Saxton’s county atlas of England and Wales of 1579. The six Scottish maps were derived from Ortelius’s map of Scotland and the five Irish maps from Van den Keere’s own map of Ireland of 1591. They constituted the first set of maps to cover the entire British Isles but were not published until this epitome of Britannia by William Jansz Blaeu in 1617 (information from the Introduction by Helen Wallis to The Atlas of the British Isles, by Pieter Van den Keere (Harry Margary,1972). The map plates were later acquired by George Humble and reworked with additional plates as a miniature atlas version of John Speed’s Theatre of the Empire of Great Britain under the title, England Wales Scotland and Ireland described... This was reprinted until 1676 (Skelton, 4). This edition is an abridgment, or epitome, by Regnerus Vitellius, of Britannia, the first topographical history of the British Isles (1586), the masterpiece of the antiquary and historian, William Camden (1551-1623). It is of great value for its inclusion of the complete set of maps to illustrate the text for the first time. Skelton, Pearson

MINSHEU, John.
Ductor in linguas, the guide into tongues.

London, [William Stansby] for John Minsheu, sold at John Browne's shop. 1617. FIRST EDITION folio pp (xviii) 543 (i) (188) two parts in one. Black, Roman and Italic letter, some Hebrew and Greek. First title within ornamental woodcut border, ornate woodcut initials and ornaments. Large headpiece to t-p of second part, second text within printed line border, ornate final tailpiece. A very few minor marginal creases or tears, a little browning to a few page edges, an unusually good, clean, large copy in contemp. calf, edges triple-ruled in blind, panel ruled in blind and gilt, gilt angels and fleurons to corners, central oval arabesque gilt, spine with gilt blocks in compartments. Head and tail of spine and upper inner corner of front cover restored, Shirburn Castle blindstamp at head of first 3 ll, Earl of Macclesfield's armorial bookplate, 1860, to front cover, early pressmark above. First work a.e.g., second a.e.r. First editions of Minsheu's two most important works, with an additional leaf of dedication (interesting contemp. ms symbol on recto) to Francis Bacon "imprimis ante omnes" in recognition of the author's gratitude. According to STC a number of copies carry Minsheu's personalized dedications to individual supporters and subscribers to his undertaking. The first part, his multi-lingual dictionary, gives the English synonym or equivalent in up to ten further languages, Welsh, Low and High Dutch (i.e. German), French, Spanish, Portuguese, Latin, Greek and Hebrew, together with etymological explanations and examples of literary usage. The second comprises a Spanish dictionary with English, Latin, and sometimes other equivalents and explanations as well as derivations. It is a monumental work and the first and greatest of its kind published in England. The second edition was much altered and reduced to eight foreign languages. The lasting value of this great lexicon is as a dictionary of Elizabethan English - no other work gives as comprehensive a survey of the meanings of Shakespeare's day. The volume is also interesting as almost certainly the first book in English published by subscription. Minsheu was a poor scholar who gained his living as a teacher of languages and did not possess the means for any other form of publication. His lexicographical works were often at a standstill for want of money and it was only the patronage of wealthier friends such as Sir Henry Spelman which enabled him to complete this vast undertaking. A list of subscribers was published separately. "An etymological dictionary with definitions and sources for numerous words relating to the Americas, e.g. 'Tabaco', 'Maize', 'Poches' etc. Part 2... includes entries about the Americas e.g. 'Mexico', 'Tuna' and 'Yuca'." Alden 617/93. "Minsheu's Guide is a very important work, and has furnished a great assistance to subsequent lexicographers". Todd, cit. Lowndes IV 1570. STC 17944. Alston II 103 cf. F.B.Williams 'Scholarly Publications in Shakespeare's day.' Arents 131. L730

Modena, Leo di [Jehudah] (ed.)
Mikraot gedolot: Torah Neviim u-Ketuvim [Biblia Rabbinica]. Complete in 4 vol.#11;
|
Venice: Pietro and Lorenzo Bragadini, Giov. Cajon, 1617. Elephant Folio. 4 vols. (I): 1-228ff., (II): 229-441ff., (III): 442-667ff., (IV): 668-908,8,(24)ff. Modern 3/4 leather over black cloth boards with blind-embossed lettering to spines, raised bands, red page edges to 3 of 4 volumes. The fifth Biblia Rabbinica (Mikraot Gedolot), edited by Leo (Judah) di Modena, based Bomberg's 1525-26 Masoretic Bible, according to Jacob ben Chaim's codex (see Darlow and Moule #5119, Steinschneider Catalogus #424). Follows Bomberg's famous layout design- vocalized, cantillized, partially versified Hebrew Biblical text in the center, surrounded on the outside by the classical commentaries of Rashi and the Masoretic notes, as well as several other classical commentators. These additional sources include: the Arameic Targum Onkelos (side by side with Pentateuch text), Ibn Ezra (Pentateuch, Writings), Jacob b. Asher- "Baal ha-Turim" (Pentateuch), David Kimchi- "RaDaK" (Early and Later Prophets), Levi ben Gershon- "Gershonides" or "RaLBaG" (Early Prophets), and Saadia b. Yosef Gaon (Daniel). Decorative title pages at the beginnings of all 4 volumes, illustrated with a repeating copper plate engraving depicting a cutaway of a traditional Temple design. The imprint of the same date (377, or 1617) is present on all 4 volumes, but with a different Hebrew mnemonic on Early Prophets. Book headings engraved with the traditional Bomberg design. First volume opens with a one-page preface in Hebrew block letters, by Leo di Modena, in which he thanks all of the people who worked on the release of this edition- Lorenzo Bragadin, Yosef Danan, Meir Mili, Avraham Chaver Tov, and Slomo Chaim Ha-Sofer. Interestingly, the name of Jacob ben Chaim Adonijah- the creator of the Bomberg Rabbinic Bible codex- does not appear on the title page. Jacob b. Chaim's own original 1526 preface follows after Modena's, in Rashi script, again never mentioning his own name, in contrast to the opening of the original 1526 Bomberg edition: "amar ha-tzair Yaakov ben Chaim... [thus spoke the humble Jacob b. Chaim...]"- this introduction is absent from subsequent editions because of b. Chaim's conversion to Christianity shortly after his completion of Bomberg's original codex (see Orlinsky, Harry. The Library of Biblical Studies. KTAV: New York, 1968). B. Chaim's name does appear on the appendices at the back of Writings. Preface is followed by an index of sidrot and parshot [order of weekly readings] "according to the Masorah [tradition]," a complete index of TaNaKh verses, and a 25-line poem & commentary by ibn Ezra- one of the two main medieval Jewish commentators given over extensively in this edition. Vol II (Early Prophets) opens with two paragraphs by Radak and Ralbag. Vol III (Later Prophets) contains another paragraph by Radak, and Vol IV (Writings) has another short poem and a paragraph by ibn Ezra. End of Writings also contains several indexes: Targum Yerushalmi (10pp.), Derchei ha-Nikud ve-ha-Neginut (explanation of vocalization and cantillation marks), an extended alphabetical index of important Biblical Hebrew words and their occurrences throughout the TaNaKh, and Khilufei Kria ve-Shaar ha-Neginut (variances on public reading customs). Title-page of the first volume crudely repaired and mounted on tab, not affecting text. 5th leaf in beginning appendix of first volume loose, but present and fully intact. Water-staining throughout first 10 leaves of the first volume, not affecting text. Very minor browning, sporadic foxing and very few water stains, not affecting text. Set overall in very good condition.

HOGENDORP, H. van.
Truer-spel van de moordt begaen aen Wilhem by der Gratie Gods, Prince van Oraengien, etc.
|
Early play on one of the greatest historical invents in Dutch history: archetype of poltical murderAmsterdam, Paulus van Ravesteyn for Cornelis van der Plasse, 1617. 4to. Later blue paper wrappers. With title-engraving showing Baltasar Gerards shooting William of Orange and his subsequent capture in the background, woodcut initials and the woodcut printer's mark of Paulus van Ravesteyn on final page. (74), (2 blank) pp. First edition of Hogendorp's free adaptation of Daniel Heinsius' schooldrama Auriacus sive libertas saucia (1602), with the very fine title-engraving. The ten preliminary pages comprise a laudatory dedication, introduction and poems by S. Koster, R. Tella, A. Koning and 'I.A.', ending with a list of the 19 characters of the play. The play re-enacts the events of the shooting of William the Silent (the Dutch 'Father of the fatherland') by Baltasar Gerards in Delft, on the 10th of July, 1584. Philips II, King of Spain and the Netherlands at the time, put a huge reward on the head of the Prince and Gerards, who thought of the Prince as a traitor to his King, was not the first to attempt to kill William. As a pretext, he arranged to have a word with the Prince, but instead shot him in the chest at a very close range. The victim then spoke his famous final words: "Mijn God, Mijn God, heb medelijden met mijn ziel en met dit arme volk." (My God, My God, have pity on my soul and this poor people). The murderer was captured almost immediately. He was tortured and horribly mutilated before he was beheaded on July 13th, 1584. The bullets he fired are still embedded in the walls of the Prinsenhof. Though other sources state that Hogendorp's version of the play was first performed in The Hague, in July 1617, Kossmann (1932) has shown that its debut performance was actually at the inauguration of Samuel Coster's famous Nederduytsche Academie in Amsterdam, in September of that year (thus being the first play to be performed at this academy). The play has 5 acts, of which the first 4 end with choral singing. Amongst the characters are 'Feigned Religion', 'Superstition' and 'Inquisition' (2 Jacobean monks). The figures and allegories are for the greater part the same as in Heinsius' earlier version, but Hogendorp did not merely translate the Latin example for his version of the play. The order of the scenes is different. Good copy.- (Occ. sl. browned; first quire loosening). Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel, I, p.171; Simoni H 126; F.K.H. Kossmann (ed.), De spelen van Gijsbrecht van Hogendorp (1932), p. XIXff and p. 43-175 (reproducing the complete text of our edition); J.A.

HOGENDORP, H. van.
Early play on one of the greatest historical invents in Dutch history: archetype of poltical murder Truer-spel van de moordt begaen aen Wilhem by der Gratie Gods, Prince van Oraengien, etc.
|
Amsterdam, Paulus van Ravesteyn for Cornelis van der Plasse, 1617.. 4to. Later blue paper wrappers. With title-engraving showing Baltasar Gerards shooting William of Orange and his subsequent capture in the background, woodcut initials and the woodcut printer's mark of Paulus van Ravesteyn on final page. (74), (2 blank) pp.. First edition of Hogendorp's free adaptation of Daniel Heinsius' schooldrama Auriacus sive libertas saucia (1602), with the very fine title-engraving. The ten preliminary pages comprise a laudatory dedication, introduction and poems by S. Koster, R. Tella, A. Koning and 'I.A.', ending with a list of the 19 characters of the play. The play re-enacts the events of the shooting of William the Silent (the Dutch 'Father of the fatherland') by Baltasar Gerards in Delft, on the 10th of July, 1584. Philips II, King of Spain and the Netherlands at the time, put a huge reward on the head of the Prince and Gerards, who thought of the Prince as a traitor to his King, was not the first to attempt to kill William. As a pretext, he arranged to have a word with the Prince, but instead shot him in the chest at a very close range. The victim then spoke his famous final words: "Mijn God, Mijn God, heb medelijden met mijn ziel en met dit arme volk." (My God, My God, have pity on my soul and this poor people). The murderer was captured almost immediately. He was tortured and horribly mutilated before he was beheaded on July 13th, 1584. The bullets he fired are still embedded in the walls of the Prinsenhof. Though other sources state that Hogendorp's version of the play was first performed in The Hague, in July 1617, Kossmann (1932) has shown that its debut performance was actually at the inauguration of Samuel Coster's famous Nederduytsche Academie in Amsterdam, in September of that year (thus being the first play to be performed at this academy). The play has 5 acts, of which the first 4 end with choral singing. Amongst the characters are 'Feigned Religion', 'Superstition' and 'Inquisition' (2 Jacobean monks). The figures and allegories are for the greater part the same as in Heinsius' earlier version, but Hogendorp did not merely translate the Latin example for his version of the play. The order of the scenes is different. Good copy.- (Occ. sl. browned; first quire loosening). Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel , I, p.171; Simoni H 126; F.K.H. Kossmann (ed.), De spelen van Gijsbrecht van Hogendorp (1932), p. XIXff and p. 43-175 (reproducing the complete text of our edition); J.A.

Bible King James
HOLY BIBLE, CONTEYNING THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THE NEW: Newly Translated out of the Originall Tongues: & with the former Translations diligently compared and revised by His Maiesties Speciall Commandement. Appointed to be read in Churches
|
London: Robert Barker, 1617. Depending on ones persuasion in this matter, the 1617 printing is to be deemed the 3rd ! or alternatively the 2nd ! printing of the King James text in Grand Folio format. Printed in Black Letter Folio (15-3/4 x 10-1/2 ), Early paneled calf; some expert refurbishment to covers. A Rare and Textually Complete Copy of a work almost invariably found defective. This copy includes the 33 pages of engraved OGenealogies,O which were separately printed and apparently an optional addition to the text. Like most copies of the King James Bible, however, this copy lacks the double page map of the Holy Land which is found in only a very few copies ! this map again having been separately printed and also apparently an optional purchase. On the whole, a handsome and imposing copy. Title-page and first several preliminary leaves with old paper reinforcement to the margins. Record of early provenance on verso of titlepage (noting family births and deaths in 1667-68). . RARE. The King James Bible was first printed in 1611 in a Grand Folio Black-Letter Format, which has come to be called the Great OHeO Bible (because of an erroneous reading of OheO for OsheO in Ruth 3:15). Bibliographic opinion remains divided as to whether the Great OSheO Bible of 1613-1611 is to properly be considered as a distinct edition of the King James Bible, or whether it is to be considered a second issue of the first printing (the work of printing the text having been split between 2 printing houses, but the usage of the production of the 2nd house having been delayed through a presumed fire or flood). Depending on ones persuasion in this matter, the 1617 printing is to be deemed the 3rd ! or alternatively the 2nd ! printing of the text in Grand Folio format. The King James Bible was of course printed in a variety of formats between 1611 and 1617, but the Grand Folio Black-Letter Format ! with its imposing type and fine paper -- is considered the most handsome and collectable. No evidence exists that King JamesO version received any definite ecclesiastical or legislative sanction. (A. W. Pollard deals fully with this point in Records, pp. 58-60.) But it won its way by sheer merit, until gradually it displaced even the Geneva Bible in popular affection, and established itself as the sole recognized version of the Scriptures in English. Under the Commonwealth some steps were taken in 1653, and again in 1657, towards a fresh translation, but without result (cf. Westcott, History, p. 124). From about the middle of the seventeenth century on to the appearance of the Revised Bible of 1881-5, King James' version reigned without a rival.O - Herbert, 309. The King James Bible was described by W. A. Jackson as "perhaps the single most important influence upon the development of English prose style." It was royally commissioned, in the hopes of reconciling or ameliorating the conflicts between the Bishop's Bible, officially read in services, and the Geneva Bible, much more popular among the laity, but mistrusted within much of the Church hierarchy as being aggressively radical, especially in its annotations. An exceptional proportion of the readings of the King James Bible descend, in fact, directly from Tyndale's Bible (1535).

Paris, Jerome Drouart, 1617. - Editio princeps dieser griechisch-lateinischen Parallelausgabe, wurde bereits im folgenden Jahr nachgedruckt. Eustathios (bzw. Eumathius), mit dem Beinamen Makrembolites, ist ein byzantinischer Erneuerer des griechischen erotischen Romans im 12. Jahrhundert. Sein 'Hysminias und Hismene' erzählt die Geschichte eines jungen Mannes, der, unter dem Einfluß von Gott Eros selbst, nach der Begegnung mit der schönen Hismene aus einem Verächter der Liebe zu einem Liebenden wird. Der Reiz des Romans liegt nicht nur in der psychologischen Entwicklung des Hysminias, sondern auch in zahlreichen Betrachtungen zur Kunst, die verschiedentlich eingestreut sind (s. K. Krumbacher, Geschichte der byzantinischen Litteratur (1897), S. 764f.). – Wie häufig ohne Vorrede und Anmerkungen. Etwas gebräunt, anfangs mit Wasserrand, sonst gutes Exemplar. – Schweiger I 123.

Parkinson, John (1576-1650).
Theatrum Botanicum, the Theatre of Plants
|
London: Thomas Cotes, 1640. Folio (13 4/8 x 8 1/8 inches). Additional engraved title-page with portrait of the author by William Marshall, in excess of 2, 000 woodcut botanical illustrations throughout, sectional head-and tail-pieces and initials (last leave laid down, one or two marginal tear s with early repairs affecting the image on page 403, some minor spotting and a few mostly marginal stains). Contemporary calf (rebacked preserving the original spine, extremities a bit scuffed). Provenance: Modern bookplate of Marshall on the front paste-down. "one of the two main pillars of botany in England till the time of Ray" (Henrey, p. 79, quoting the 19th-century botanist Sir James Edward Smith). First edition. A founding member of the Society of Apothecaries in 1617, Parkinson's best-known work is his "Paradisi in sole paradisus terrestris, or, A Garden of All Sorts of Pleasant Flowers ? with a Kitchen Garden ? and an Orchard" (1629). "The book of more than 600 pages was dedicated to Queen Henrietta Maria, for which Charles I gave him the title of "botanicus regius primarius". This was the first work published on English gardening, and it had descriptions of almost 1000 plants, with many of the entries giving evidence of cross-breeding and careful selection. Parkinson's second work, which occupied him for many years, was "Theatrum botanicum" (1640), with more than 1700 pages. This described some 3800 plants and showed his extensive reading of the period's authorities; of particular value was the almost entire incorporation of Caspar Bauhin's "Pinax", for its synonyms. Parkinson divided plants into seventeen 'tribes', based partly on their medicinal qualities and partly on habitat" (DNB). Parkinson identified 28 new British species in his "Theatrum?" including the strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) of western Ireland, and the lady's slipper orchid (Cypripedium calceolus) of Lancashire. "The descriptions in many instances are new, and great care was exercised to secure accuracy in indicating localit

It was a work that won the highest praise from Scaliger. The number of Characters in this edition is raised from 23 to 28 by the addition of five from the Heidelberg Library" (Sandys, A Hist. of Classical Scholarship, II, p. 208).#11;Fine copy in a contemporary English binding with end-papers from a contemporary or earlier English printed book.

TRAJANO BOCCALINI
News-sheet Parnassus Satire 1617 Anti-Spanish Satire
|
Giergli, Venice 1617 - De ragguagli di Parnaso : Centuria prima. 1617 A very early edition (first published 1612), of this work by TRAJANO BOCCALINI (1556-1613), an It satirist, was born at Loretto in 1556. The son of an architect, he himself adopted that profession, and it appears that he commenced late in life to apply to literary pursuits.his most important work, the Ragguagli di Parnaso (News-sheet from Parnassus), in which Apollo is represented as receiving the complaints of all who present themselves, and distributing justice according to the merits of each particular case. The book is full of light and fantastic satire on the actions and writings of his eminent contemporaries, and some of its happier hits are among the hackneyed felicities of literature. Unassuming limp vellum, back damaged, last leaves, in the upper corner, marginally damaged. ELSE GOOD, [27] 478 pages, venice, giergli 1617 The author imagined Parnassus as a city in continuous vacation, where poets and politicians meet. He pretends to send reports from this city on a large variety of themes, but mainly on politics. The anti-Spanish satire becomes truly ferocious.

Frankfurt: In verlegung der Hulsischen, 1617. * Church 304; Sabin 33,667 (and 82,819n); JCB I.492 no. 569; Alden-Landis II.617/137; Brunet III.370; Bibliotheca Grenvilliana I.352; Asher, p. 72; Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities, !Captain John Smith,! http://www.apva.org/history/jsmith.html (1997/2000).. Rare first edition of the fourteenth part of Hulsius!s voyage anthology, a translation into German of Captain John Smith!s Description of New England (London, 1616; Church 369), which includes an early copy of Smith!s map of New England. Goodspeed (1927) claims that this part of Hulsius!s Sammlung von Sechs und Zwanzig Schiffarten, inspired by the success of the more lavish de Bry series, appears to be !one of the rarest of the Collection.! Hulsius managed to beat de Bry!s heirs to the press with an important German-language Americanum; it would appear in the Tenth Part of de Bry!s !Great Voyages! in Oppenheim the following year.A pivotal figure in the Jamestown Colony, Smith (1580-1631) had been forced to sail back to England in 1609 to care for an injury from a gunpowder accident, and was never able to return to the settlement. !In London, he actively promoted the further colonization of Virginia, but was unpopular with the Virginia Company. In April 1614, he returned to the New World in a successful voyage to the Maine and Massachusetts Bay areas, which he named New England! (APVA). !He sailed along the coast from Penobscot to Cape Cod in search of whales and mines of gold. The voyage was in most respects a failure, but it gave him an opportunity to write this tract, the general object of which is to show the advantages likely to accrue to adventurers in New England! (Church p. 852 on 1616 English ed.). The map of New England included in the Viertzehende Schiffart (identical to that which appeared in Hulsius!s parts 13!see item 60!and 20) is an accurate re-engraving of Smith!s influential original (omitting only the names in the lower corners, Smith!s title, and the verses). !The earliest thoroughly accurate map of Massachusetts Bay! (Winsor apud Church) and the first to name the region of !New England,! Smith!s map is found in nine or more states, all printed from the same plate. Hulsius made his copy from the very rare first state. When drawing his map in 1614, Smith asked Prince Charles!later, Charles I!to replace the indigenous place-names with properly !English! ones. These are included here, although places such as London and Oxford would soon be renamed by subsequent colonists (Scituate, Marshfield, etc.); only three names from Smith!s map are retained today!Cape Ann, the Charles River, and Plymouth. The plate depicting the flora and fauna of New England balances realism!a porcupine, otter, and beaver!with fantasy!a griffon? Unsigned, this engraving was not reused in the de Bry version of the text. Levinus Hulsius (1546-1606) began publishing his 26-part series of voyages in 1598. The Schiffahrt volumes were generally more modest in size and price than those issued by de Bry, and as a result, they could often be sent to the press in a more timely fashion, allowing Hulsius!s heirs to scoop the competition.

London, 1617. First edition of the first book printed by subscription, large folio, pp. [16], [1]-[544], [188]; full contemporary calf, gilt arms of Charles the I central on the covers, rebacked in sturdy brown morocco gilt; covers rubbed and worn, text occasionally browned and spotted, paper occasionally limp, with a few natural paper flaws; generally a good, sound copy of the preferred first edition (which included two languages, Welsh and Portuguese, dropped from later editions), without the rare subscriber's list, issued separately. A prospectus preceded the publication of the dictionary, and is known by a single copy only (at the Bodleian Library). With Minsheu we have arrived at what has usually been regarded as the true beginning of subscription publication, and the first book prospectus. Minsheu's Guide was published in 1617, with a printed list of subscribers which was eventually to reach a total of 471 persons and institutions. Its issue preceded that of the book, and thus The Guide is the first book published by subscription after the issue of a prospectus (see Feather, English Book Prospectuses: An Illustrated History, Newton & Minneapolis, 1984, pp. 26-27). Minsheu's earlier works on the Spanish language had secured for him a reputation as a lexicographer, if not an income; this great lexicon stands alone as a guide to Elizabethan English, still useful today. Appended to the work, as issued, is Minsheu's A Most Copious Spanish Dictionarie with Latine and English, London, 1617. STC 17944; Alston II, 103; Lowndes II, p. 1569-70 "a very important work, and has furnished great assistance to subsequent lexicographers"; Graesse IV, p. 533; Ebert 14099.

Until September the fleet was anchored at Batticaloa on Ceylon's east coast where Spilbergen negotiated with the king of Kandy, promising military assistance against the Portuguese. Between September 1602 and March 1603 he was at Banda Atjeh, in Sumatra, negotiating with the sultan and hunting for Portuguese ships. In February 1603 ships of the newly founded Dutch East India Company arrived at Atjeh and were joined by Spilbergen's fleet. After spending the summer of 1603 at Bantam in Java, Spilbergen ruturned to Holland with his two remaining ships and arrived at Vlissingen on 24 March 1604.The first four editions of the Journal were published by Floris Balthasars at Delft in 1604-5. Balthasars also was the engraver of the plates. The present edition is a corrected re-edition of the fourth edition of 1605, printed in two columns, without the dedication and the songs at the end.The title calls for 17 plates, but this edition has only 13 plates and our copy is perfectly complete: on the verso of the title with the allegorical plate, there is a beautiful view of Veere; further in text: full-page plates of Puerto Dale (f. 3r), Cape of Good Hoop with the Table mountain (f. 8r), the coast of Anabon (f. 12r), Matecalao on Ceylon (19r), Vintano, also on Ceylon (f. 22r), Matecalao, on Ceylon (f. 25r) and the ship ('Kraek') of Ste Thomo sailing in the Strait of Malacca (f. 33r), and two smaller plates on f. 29r: coat of arms of the king of Ceylon (91 x 99 mm), and a ring with the God of the king of Maticalo ( 120 x 104 mm) on f. 30r. Between ff. 22 and 23 there is the folding plate of the city of Kandi (Ceylon; 350 x 395 mm); and between f. 28 and 29 the map of the Island Ceylon (298 x 202). Good and nicely bound copy with bookplates of (1) the Australian bookseller Henry L. White (Australian ornithology, philately and bibliography), (2) the Autralian bookseller A.H. Spencer, Melbourne, and (3) G. & N. Ingleton.- (Some outer margins strengthened). Tiele 1021; Tiele, Mem. p. 158; Howego S-158; edition by W. Nijhoff a. o. (The Hague 1933).

THEOPHRASTUS
[Greek = Theophrastou ethikoi charakteres]. Theophrasti Notationes morum.Isaacus Casaubonus recensuit, ... in Latinum sermonem vertit, & librocommentario illustravit. Editio vltima recognita, ac infinitis in locisultra praecedentes aucta & locupletata
|
(Jacob Du Creux) for Antoine de Harsy Lyon 1617 Contemporary English calf blind tooled triple fillet (minor wear) 8vo . Most complete edition ("Vollständiger als die vorigen Ausgaben" - Schweiger) of Theophrastus' "Characters." This version, edited and translated by Casaubon, first appeared in 1592 which was reprinted twice and appears here in the final and most complete and final revised edition for which the printer was granted a new royal privilege (dated 15 Feb. 1617). The first part is a parallel Greek-Latin translation followed by Casaubon's commentary. An important work by the great Swiss classisist Isaac Casaubon (1559-1614) who had been professor at Geneva and Montpellier; spending his last years as sub-librarian to De Thou in the Royal Library: "It is not until we reach his commentary on the Characters of Theophrastus (1592), that we find a work that is marked by his distinctie merit, an interpretation of a text of the most varied interest founded on wide reading and consummate learning. It was a work that won the highest praise from Scaliger. The number of Characters in this edition is raised from 23 to 28 by the addition of five from the Heidelberg Library" (Sandys, A Hist. of Classical Scholarship, II, p. 208). Fine copy in a contemporary English binding with end-papers from a contemporary or earlier English printed book. [16], 367, [17] pp. (last 4 pp. blank). Woodcut printer's device on title-page; Latin and Greek in parallel columns; small worm hole in blank margin of a few leaves. § Hoffmann, III, p. 524; Schweiger II, 320; Graesse VII, 125

Venice , Fioravante Prati, 1617. Two parts in one volume, Folio, pp. [xii], 609, [1] imprint; [viii], 236; first title printed in red and black, very occasional light spotting, a few rust spots and faint damp-staining to upper outer corner towards the end; title page with ink inscriptions, and with small hole due to ink erosion; contemporary full vellum over boards; spine in compartments, lettered in ink; some worm holes to foot of spine; a good tight copy with some early lexicographical manuscript annotations in ink; ownership inscription to title reading Giuseppe Mavrini (?). Second edition (first published in 1602) of the most comprehensive early Italian dictionary. Pergamini's dictionary was notable for distinguishing the vocabulary of poetry from that of prose writing, and was one of the first to identify vulgar or colloquial usage. It testifies to the growing appeal of 'living language' as a guiding principle both for linguistic study and for literary style: 'essendo la lingua nostra viva e non morta come la Greca, la Latina e tutte le altre che solo s'imparano da' libri' [Aggiunta, p iii] (see Faithfull, p. 290). Interestingly he specifically directs the dictionary also to foreigners. The dictionary was frequently reprinted (1656, 1688 et al) even after the publication of the Vocabolario della Crusca, presumably because of its faithful record of the living and spoken language, whereas the dictionary compiled by the Accademia della Crusca attempted to codify the language. Zaunmüller 209 - erroneously listing a non existent 1568 edition as the first; this edition not in Cordell; see Gamba 2757 and Fontanini I, 83; Gunnar Tancke, Die italienischen Wöeterbücher, von den Anfängen bis zum Erscheinen des Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca.

Glynn Faithfull, The Concept of 'Living Language' in Cinquecento Vernacular Philology' in: The Modern Language Review, vol 48, no. 3 (Jul, 1953), pp. 278-292.

HOGENDORP, H. van.
Early play on one of the greatest historical invents in Dutch history: archetype of poltical murder, Truer-spel van de moordt begaen aen Wilhem by der Gratie Gods, Prince van Oraengien, etc.
|
Paulus van Ravesteyn for Cornelis van der Plasse, 1617., Amsterdam, - 4to. Later blue paper wrappers. With title-engraving showing Baltasar Gerards shooting William of Orange and his subsequent capture in the background, woodcut initials and the woodcut printer's mark of Paulus van Ravesteyn on final page. (74), (2 blank) pp. First edition of Hogendorp's free adaptation of Daniel Heinsius' schooldrama Auriacus sive libertas saucia (1602), with the very fine title-engraving. The ten preliminary pages comprise a laudatory dedication, introduction and poems by S. Koster, R. Tella, A. Koning and 'I.A.', ending with a list of the 19 characters of the play. The play re-enacts the events of the shooting of William the Silent (the Dutch 'Father of the fatherland') by Baltasar Gerards in Delft, on the 10th of July, 1584. Philips II, King of Spain and the Netherlands at the time, put a huge reward on the head of the Prince and Gerards, who thought of the Prince as a traitor to his King, was not the first to attempt to kill William. As a pretext, he arranged to have a word with the Prince, but instead shot him in the chest at a very close range. The victim then spoke his famous final words: "Mijn God, Mijn God, heb medelijden met mijn ziel en met dit arme volk." (My God, My God, have pity on my soul and this poor people). The murderer was captured almost immediately. He was tortured and horribly mutilated before he was beheaded on July 13th, 1584. The bullets he fired are still embedded in the walls of the Prinsenhof. Though other sources state that Hogendorp's version of the play was first performed in The Hague, in July 1617, Kossmann (1932) has shown that its debut performance was actually at the inauguration of Samuel Coster's famous Nederduytsche Academie in Amsterdam, in September of that year (thus being the first play to be performed at this academy). The play has 5 acts, of which the first 4 end with choral singing. Amongst the characters are 'Feigned Religion', 'Superstition' and 'Inquisition' (2 Jacobean monks). The figures and allegories are for the greater part the same as in Heinsius' earlier version, but Hogendorp did not merely translate the Latin example for his version of the play. The order of the scenes is different. Good copy.- (Occ. sl. browned; first quire loosening). Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel, I, p.171; Simoni H 126; F.K.H. Kossmann (ed.), De spelen van Gijsbrecht van Hogendorp (1932), p. XIXff and p. 43-175 (reproducing the complete text of our edition); J.A.

Striking early map of Japan and Korea. Briet's map follows the Blancus/Moreira model, andlooks very similar to the Christophoros Blancus unpublished map of 1617. The map shows a well-shaped Japan with named provinces, and major cities including Tokyo (Yendo) and Kyoto (Meaco). Kyushu and Shikoku are shown with exaggerated inlets, and the tip of Hokkaido is Terre de Iesso. Korea is described as an island, but is only partially shown. (Paris, 1667 ca) [color: Outline Color, size: 20.5 x 14.5 inches, condition: VG]

Modena, Leo di [Jehudah] (ed.).
Mikraot gedolot: Torah Neviim u-Ketuvim [Biblia Rabbinica]. Complete in 4 vol. .
|
Venice Pietro and Lorenzo Bragadini, Giov. Cajon 1617 Elephant Folio. 4 vols. (I): 1-228ff., (II): 229-441ff., (III): 442-667ff., (IV): 668-908,8,(24)ff. Modern 3/4 leather over black cloth boards with blind-embossed letering to spines, raised bands, red page edges to 3 of 4 volumes. The fifth Biblia Rabbinica (Mikraot Gedolot), edited by Leo (Judah) di Modena, based Bomberg's 1525-26 Masoretic Bible, according to Jacob ben Chaim's codex (see Darlow and Moule #5119, Steinschneider Catalogus #424). Follows Bomberg's famous layout design- vocalized, cantillized, partially versified Hebrew Biblical text in the center, surrounded on the outside by the classical commentaries of Rashi and the Masoretic notes, as well as several other classical commentators. These additional sources include: the Arameic Targum Onkelos (side by side with Pentateuch text), Ibn Ezra (Pentateuch, Writings), Jacob b. Asher- "Baal ha-Turim" (Pentateuch), David Kimchi- "RaDaK" (Early and Later Prophets), Levi ben Gershon- "Gershonides" or "RaLBaG" (Early Prophets), and Saadia b. Yosef Gaon (Daniel). Decorative title pages at the beginnings of all 4 volumes, illustrated with a repeating copper plate engraving depicting a cutaway of a traditional Temple design. The imprint of the same date (377, or 1617) is present on all 4 volumes, but with a different Hebrew mneumonic on Early Prophets. Book headings engraved with the traditional Bomberg design. First volume opens with a one-page preface in Hebrew block letters, by Leo di Modena, in which he thanks all of the people who worked on the release of this edition- Lorenzo Bragadin, Yosef Danan, Meir Mili, Avraham Chaver Tov, and Slomo Chaim Ha-Sofer. Interstingly, the name of Jacob ben Chaim Adonijah- the creator of the Bomberg Rabbinic Bible codex- does not appear on the title page. Jacob b. Chaim's own original 1526 preface follows after Modena's, in Rashi script, again never mentioning his own name, in contrast to the opening of the original 1526 Bomberg edition: "amar ha-tzair Yaakov ben Chaim... [thus spoke the humble Jacob b. Chaim...]"- this introduction is absent from subsequent editions because of b. Chaim's conversion to Christianity shortly after his completion of Bomberg's original codex (see Orlinsky, Harry. The Library of Biblical Studies. KTAV: New York, 1968). B. Chaim's name does appear on the appendices at the back of Writings. Preface is followed by an index of sidrot and parshot [order of weekly readings] "according to the Masorah [tradition]," a complete index of TaNaKh verses, and a 25-line poem & commentary by ibn Ezra- one of the two main medieval Jewish commentators given over extensively in this edition. Vol II (Early Prophets) opens with two paragraphs by Radak and Ralbag. Vol III (Later Prophets) contains another paragraph by Radak, and Vol IV (Writings) has another short poem and a paragraph by ibn Ezra. End of Writings also contains several indexes: Targum Yerushalmi (10pp.), Derchei ha-Nikud ve-ha-Neginut (explanation of vocalization and cantillation marks), an extended alphabetical index of important Biblical Hebrew words and their occurences throughout the TaNaKh, and Khilufei Kria ve-Shaar ha-Neginut (variances on public reading customs). Title-page of the first volume crudely repaired and mounted on tab, not affecting text. 5th leaf in beginning appendix of first volume loose, but present and fully intact. Water-staining throughout first 10 leaves of the first volume, not affecting text. Very minor browning, sporadic foxing and very few water stains, not affecting text. Set overall in very good condition.
