Lisbon, Lourenco de Anveres, 1642. . 2 parts in one vol. Sm. 4to. Contemporary vellum. With two woodcuts, many printed tables, woodcut tailpieces and initials in the first, and 11 folded woodcut maps of coastlines (9 measuring ca. 150 x 200 mm. and 2 ca. 250 x 180 mm.) with text printed on the versos. Part 1: 40 lvs. (many mistakes in numb.: (4), 1-2, (4), 11-40 lvs.; Part 2: 78, (2) pp. . Extremely rare and complete issue of the first edition of this travel guide for sailing to and in the East Indies. The guide gives extensive instructions to the captains of the ships traveling from Portugal via Cape of Good Hope, Goa and Mozambique to Cochin China and Malacca. Descriptions of places like 'Ilha de Sao Lourenco', 'Ilhas de Querimba', 'Mombassa', 'Ilhas de Maldiva', 'Pulopinao' and 'Puloparcenat' are included, as well as references to the east coast of South America and Brazil. Contents: p. (1): title (verso blank).pp. (2)r-(3)r: 8 Licencas dated from 27 January till 12 December 1642.p. (3)v: blank.pp. (4)r-v: Dedication to King Joao IV of Portugal, dated 21 January 1642.ff. 1-2, (1-4), 11-40: Da arte navegacam, eseus fundamentos.pp. 1-78: Partindo de Lisboa para a ilha da Madeira, ou Porto Sancto, & Canarias.pp. (79-80): title and introduction to the 11 maps: Estampas, e demarcacoens da costa de Espanha, do Cabo de Finis Terra, te o Estreito de Gibraltar, com a arrumacao dos Rumos baixos, sondas, & alturas, followed by the 11 folding maps."It is obvious that the book is a true bibliographical puzzle" (Borba de Moraes). Title as well as collation and contents differ from one bibliography to the other. Hardly two descriptions are similar, also due to the confusion with another guide by Mariz Carneiro, the one for Brazil, issued by the same printer in the same year, both works sharing some elements. The many mistakes in the pagination may be due to this. There are at least three different issues of the work printed by Lourence de Anvers in the same year. Further editions followed in 1655 and 1666. Our copy is perfectly complete and belongs to one of the three issues of the first edition , of which there is only one other copy known to be complete (Cat. Reiss & Auverman, Travel and exploration. Portugal and Spain. Auction 40 (1989), no. 645; other incomplete and damaged copies in the Biblioteca Maritima and the National Library in Lisbon, lacking the maps).Antonio de Mariz Carneiro, Vicomte de Azevedo, born at the end of the sixteenth century, probably died in December 1642, although their are reasons to assume that he was still alive in 1666. He was a mathematician and the cosmographer of the Portuguese king Joao IV to whom the work is dedicated. Very good copy of this extremely rare work.- (Written ownership's entry on title, library stamp on f. 1).

[Nuremberg] 1642 Folio (450 x 290 mm), ff 35, comprising engraved title and 34 engraved plates; a fine copy in contemporary English sheep. £30,000 First edition, of great rarity. Basil Besler's Wunderkammer was inherited and added to by his nephew Michael Rupert, who here published a catalogue of his additions. This ‘treasury of natural things from the vegetable, animal, and mineral kingdoms’ exhibits such typical Wunderkammer contents as corals, a unicorn horn, a hyoidal bone of a swan, a beak of a hornbill, a bird of paradise, a carved nautilus shell, ‘Arcimboldo’ grotesques of shells, pyritised ammonites, asbestos, ‘ruin’ marble, engraved gems and antique coins, along with such unica as Johann Zizka’s sword. Many rare plants and birds are figured, along with ethnographic objects such as a Brazilian Indian girdle made from the nuts of the Brazilian tree Cerbera ahovai. The image of this plate was used for the border of Valentini’s Museum museorum, Frankfurt 1714. The fine engraved title features a number of emblematic medallions, with a rhinocerus, a unicorn, an ostrich, an elephant, Flora holding a cornucopia, and flowers in a walled garden, and an alchemical emblem. Michael Rupert (1607-61), a physician and pharmacist in Nuremberg, was a virtuoso scholar-collector, and also assembled an important collection of art and antiquities. This work was apparently reissued in 1663. OCLC records copies with an additional leaf of contents, with imprint reading ‘Lipsiae: Typis Wittigau’ and dated 1663. Because of the copy-and-paste nature of many OCLC library records its not clear which copies are which issue. This work is exceptionally rare.

Antwerp, Ioannes Meursius for Theod. van Thulden, 1642. . Large folio (56 x 41 cm). Contemporary vellum, spine gilt, sides with gilt armorial center-piece and on frontcover in gilt 'Ieremias Wildens'. With richly designed triumphal arch full of allegorical figures by Pieter Paul Rubens serving as frontispiece and title, engraved by Iac. Neeffs, 46 engravings in text mostly of coins and medals, and 43 numbered etched plates illustrating the rich allegorical and phantastic ornamental triumphal arches and festive decorations, paintings, statues, etc., designed by Pieter Paul Rubens for the Splendid Entry of the Cardinal Infante Ferdinand of Austria into Antwerp, including a splendidly designed equestrian portrait of Ferdinand, and a large triumphal car by Pieter Paul Rubens, and also including a second portrait of Ferdinand, a large view and plan of Antwerp, a view of the fireworks behind the cathedral and two views of festive processions by Theod. van Thulden, who etched all the plates. (8), 189, (13) pp. . Splendid monument of Baroque book illustration, easily the most superbly illustrated book of the 17th century. The designing and planning of the city's triumphal arches and decorations to celebrate the "Splendid Entry" of Ferdinand of Austria into Antwerp in May 1635 was the largest order Pieter Paul Rubens ever received, offering him the occasion to fully display his rich imagination and to let go free his wildest phantasies. The festivities themselves had been so magnificent and the decorations and lightning had been so fairy-like that the city magistrats ordered the painter and engraver Theodor Van Thulden, a pupil of Rubens, to make a record of it for posterity. The work was held up by the city's secretary who was to supply the text, and when the text was ready at last, both Rubens and Ferdinand had died, in 1640 and 1641 respectively. Still, the delay had some good points too, as now the magistrats ordered an extra print to honor Ferdinand's memory, and a magnificent drawing by Rubens of a triumphal car was added to the book. Also the text had grown from simple explanations of the mythological figures and recordings of inscriptions into a most scholarly edition, with all mythological allegories philologically explained with quotations from the Classics, and richly illustrated by engravings of ancient coins and medals as well. Full source references were given and indices added. The costs of publication were enormous and although the preface is dated July 1641, and the colophon dates the printing of the text 1642, it was only at the end of January 1643 that the book came officially on the market. The "Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi" easily belongs to the most expensive book productions illustrating Baroque festivities, caused also by its extra large folio size. This on the other hand greatly enhanced the beauty of the prints, as Van Thulden was now more able to depict in all details the very elaborate and luxurious designs of Rubens.

A la Fleche, George Griveau 1642. . Folio. Contemporary limp vellum. 112 (misnumbered 113, but plate 29 was never printed) full-page woodcut illustrations and diagrams in the text, 12 of which are folding. (8), 227 pp. . Very rare first and only edition of 'the first treatise devoted entirely to stereotomy' (Wiebenson), the practical application of geometry to stonecutting for architects and master masons. Jousse writes in the preface that there is nothing on the subject in the ancient architectural treatises, and among the Moderns, there were only Books 3 & 4 of De L'Orme's Architecture, which he complains are too abstract to be of practical use. By contrast, this work is composed of an extended series of exercises on the drawing of vaults, making it of some interest for strengths of material as well. Jousse made the first French translation of the perspective classic De artificialis perspectiva by Pelerin, and the woodcuts in Le Secret are reminiscent of that work's illustrations. Illustrated French architectural treatises of the 17th century usually hail from major printing centres (Paris or Lyons), not from provincial towns in the Loire region, and the work is, accordingly, of interest for the history of regional building techniques. Jousse, writer, architect, mason and locksmith, was connected with the college of Jesuits, which he might have built, in his native town La Fleche. NUC records Yale, Columbia and Boston Public, to which should be added the copy at the National Gallery, described in Millard. Good copy with illegible inscription of a convent on title page along with an inscription of Robert S. Roes. -(Soiled at edges of covers.

Amsterdam, Crispijn vande Passe, 1642. 4to. Beautifully bound in nineteenth century light brown calf, both sides with triple gilt lines along the edges, spine gilt in compartments with red and green title labels lettered in gold, gilt binding edges, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers (by "PETIT SUCCr DE SIMIER"). Engraved allegorical title-page with engraved title underneath 'Fame' sitting on a swan, blowing a trumpet ("Volat Fama per orbem") and holding the hat of freedom in her left hand; left the full-length portrait of Gustav Adolf of Sweden, holding a sword in his right hand and trampling the French rooster; right a mourning widow: "Desolata Germania" (Desolate Germany) with the mutilated bodies of three children at her feet; vignette on printed title with the coat-of-arms of Gustav Adolf and the motto 'Gloria eius immortalis', and 29 engraved and etched allegorical and emblematical half-page plates in the text (ca. 71 x 113 mm) by Crispyn de Passe the Younger. (12), 91 (1 blank) pp. Very rare first and only edition of this political and emblematical/allegorical work with texts by Bartholomaeus Hulsius (1601-before 1642), a reformed minister in Cillaarshoek till his retirement in 1635 (NNBW VIII, col. 889). The book was printed for Crispijn de Passe by an unknown printer, possibly Jan van Hilten, who specialized in political pamphlets.The book deals with the struggle between the Protestant parts of Europe and the Imperial armies (the so-called 'League') under the command of the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II, and the generals Tilly and Wallenstein, known as the Thirty Year's War. The triumph of Protestantism over Catholicism became possible through the arrival of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf II the Great (1594-1632) - one of the greatest generals of all times - in Northern Germany in 1630. His most famous victory was in the battle of Breitenfeld in 1631. The King was referred to by contemporary protestants as 'the Lion of the North', such as he also appears in the title of this book. In the text all the victories, including Gustav's victorious battle near Lützen during which battle Gustav Adolf was deadly wounded on 6 November 1632, and those after the death of Hulsius (probably written by Crispijn vande Passe himself), are described in detail by Hulsius and illustrated in an allegorical and moralistic manner. Some of the plates, however, are strictly historical, such as the first one, which shows Gustav Adolf on horseback and crowned with laurels, and nr. 13, in which he lies mortally wounded on the battle field at Lützen. Germany is again portrayed as a mourning widow in the following scene and is followed by allegories of Gustav's virtues.The beautiful plates are by Crispijn vande Passe the Younger (ca. 1597-ca. 1670), who worked in Amsterdam since 1640. The last five are etchings, which Franken believed that they were not by Crispijn. Veldman, however, disagrees and attributes them in view of their high quality to Vande Passe. Gustav Adolph played also an important role in the emerging movement of the Rosicrucians in the beginning of the seventeenth century. The movement represents a phase in which the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition received the influx of another Hermetic tradition, that of Alchemy. Men as John Dee and Comenius in Bohemia together with contemporary protestant movements in South Germany culminated in the short-lived reign of Frederich, Elector Palatinate and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of King James I, as 'Winter King and Queen' of Bohemia. It was also involved in some kind of alliance of Protestant sympathiers formed to counteract the Catholic League of Catholic powers formed in the wake of the Counter Reformation. In the years after 1620 the combination of the Habsburg Empire with Counter Reformation Catholicism came near to absolute victory, having - as one of the successes - removed Frederick (d. 1642) and Elizabeth from Bohemia in 1621. Referred to as 'the Lion' in contemporary literature, Frederick had lost his lands and lived in exile

A Nineteenth-Century Mexican "Lienzo" (Illuminated Document) featuring the Coat of Arms of the Conde de Salvatierra, Viceroy of New Spain from 1642-49
|
Mexico A FASCINATING EXAMPLE OF THE ROMANTICIZATION OF THE AZTEC EMPIRE IN NINETEENTH-CENTURY MEXICO Single sheet, in ink and colors, highlighted in gold, "amate" (fig-tree bark paper) paper Framed size: 46 1/2" x 32 3/4" Sheet size: approx. 40 3/4" x 26 3/4" Provenance: General Miguel Miramon (1832-1867), companion of Emperor Maximilian of Mexico, executed with him in 1867 at Queretaro; by descent. This exceptionally rare, illuminated document (lienzo) represents a fascinating attempt by a nineteenth-century Mexican artist to revive the arts and practices of the Aztec Empire. This work was constructed out of amate, or fig-tree bark paper, and depicts, at its center, the magnificent coat of arms of Don Garcia Sarmieno de Sotomayor, conde de Salvatierra (viceroy of New Spain from 1642 to 1649). The large seal is flanked on each of its sides by two mythical creatures. Below these winged creatures are four throned figures who encircle a pool of water. Within the pool are representations of a seated male and female couple and a diving female figure residing in a small disc surrounded by fish. A cactus emerges from the top portion of the pool, providing a link between the water below and the coat of arms above. Immediately surrounding the cactus are depictions of a water god and sacrificial heart excision. All of these disparate elements were intended to affirm conde de Salvatierra's proprietorship over the lands represented by each of the outlying glyphs. During the nineteenth century, many Mexicans struggled to establish a distinct national identity. As such, many of them started to take a renewed interest in the Native American traditions that rooted their civilization. In direct keeping with this trend, this document purposefully duplicates many of the elements found in pre-colonial titulos primordials, communal Aztec documents that portrayed historical events and delineated territories. For example, though most colonial lienzos, or illuminated documents, were painted on cloth, this one was painted on the more archaic support of tree-bark paper. The document also lacks any glossing inscriptions, the intended effect being to imply that it originated before knowledge of a written language. In addition, the four figures seated on thrones were intended by the artist to represent Aztec lords, while the place glyphs are of Mixtec style. The document also borrows images from well-known pre-Columbian and early colonial manuscripts, including the Codex Laux (Bodleian Library, Laud misc. 678) and the Codex Rios (Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana), which were both published by Lord Kingsborough between 1831 and 1848, suggesting that this manuscript was produced after these dates. This vibrant and colorful manuscript represents a remarkable example of a nineteenth-century Mexican artist’s attempt to glorify Native American ancestry and to give it an added element of European legitimacy. It is an an utterly unique composition.

4to. Beautifully bound in nineteenth century light brown calf, both sides with triple gilt lines along the edges, spine gilt in compartments with red and green title labels lettered in gold, gilt binding edges, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers (by "PETIT SUCCr DE SIMIER"). Engraved allegorical title-page with engraved title underneath 'Fame' sitting on a swan, blowing a trumpet ("Volat Fama per orbem") and holding the hat of freedom in her left hand; left the full-length portrait of Gustav Adolf of Sweden, holding a sword in his right hand and trampling the French rooster; right a mourning widow: "Desolata Germania" (Desolate Germany) with the mutilated bodies of three children at her feet; vignette on printed title with the coat-of-arms of Gustav Adolf and the motto 'Gloria eius immortalis', and 29 engraved and etched allegorical and emblematical half-page plates in the text (ca. 71 x 113 mm) by Crispyn de Passe the Younger. (12), 91 (1 blank) pp. Very rare first and only edition of this political and emblematical/allegorical work with texts by Bartholomaeus Hulsius (1601-before 1642), a reformed minister in Cillaarshoek till his retirement in 1635 (NNBW VIII, col. 889). The book was printed for Crispijn de Passe by an unknown printer, possibly Jan van Hilten, who specialized in political pamphlets.The book deals with the struggle between the Protestant parts of Europe and the Imperial armies (the so-called 'League') under the command of the Habsburg emperor Ferdinand II, and the generals Tilly and Wallenstein, known as the Thirty Year's War. The triumph of Protestantism over Catholicism became possible through the arrival of the Swedish King Gustav Adolf II the Great (1594-1632) - one of the greatest generals of all times - in Northern Germany in 1630. His most famous victory was in the battle of Breitenfeld in 1631. The King was referred to by contemporary protestants as 'the Lion of the North', such as he also appears in the title of this book. In the text all the victories, including Gustav's victorious battle near Luetzen during which battle Gustav Adolf was deadly wounded on 6 November 1632, and those after the death of Hulsius (probably written by Crispijn vande Passe himself), are described in detail by Hulsius and illustrated in an allegorical and moralistic manner. Some of the plates, however, are strictly historical, such as the first one, which shows Gustav Adolf on horseback and crowned with laurels, and nr. 13, in which he lies mortally wounded on the battle field at Luetzen. Germany is again portrayed as a mourning widow in the following scene and is followed by allegories of Gustav's virtues.The beautiful plates are by Crispijn vande Passe the Younger (ca. 1597-ca. 1670), who worked in Amsterdam since 1640. The last five are etchings, which Franken believed that they were not by Crispijn. Veldman, however, disagrees and attributes them in view of their high quality to Vande Passe. Gustav Adolph played also an important role in the emerging movement of the Rosicrucians in the beginning of the seventeenth century. The movement represents a phase in which the Hermetic-Cabalist tradition received the influx of another Hermetic tradition, that of Alchemy. Men as John Dee and Comenius in Bohemia together with contemporary protestant movements in South Germany culminated in the short-lived reign of Frederich, Elector Palatinate and his wife Elizabeth, daughter of King James I, as 'Winter King and Queen' of Bohemia. It was also involved in some kind of alliance of Protestant sympathiers formed to counteract the Catholic League of Catholic powers formed in the wake of the Counter Reformation. In the years after 1620 the combination of the Habsburg Empire with Counter Reformation Catholicism came near to absolute victory, having - as one of the successes - removed Frederick (d. 1642) and Elizabeth from Bohemia in 1621.

Grotius, Hugo, Philosoph und
Eigenh. Brief mit U. ("H. de Groot").
|
Paris, 28. III. 1642. ½ S. auf Doppelblatt. 4to. Mit eh. Adresse und Siegelspur (Faltbrief). An den schwäbischen Heerführer Christoph Martin Frh. von Degenfeld (1599-1653), unter dem Grotius' Sohn in der schwedischen Armee gedient hat und dem er seine Treue und Gefolgschaft versichert: "Nous touts qui sommes icy, moi, les Dames, le filz et la fille remercions vostre Illustrete de la souvenance qu'elle a de nous: et la prions de croire que ce qui a manque au traittement deu a ses qualitez est supple par l'affection qui a este, est, et sera toujours tres sincere [.]". - Degenfeld, der sich zunächst im Gefolge Wallensteins ausgezeichnet hatte, kämpfte schließlich auf der Seite der Schweden und mußte nach dem kaiserlichen Sieg 1634 nach Straßburg fliehen. Als Oberster General der fremden Reiterei in französischen Diensten überwarf er sich im Jahr der Abfassung des vorliegenden Briefes mit Kardinal Richelieu und trat als Generalgouverneur von Dalmatien und Albanien in venezianische Dienste. Hierauf dürfte sich Grotius mit der Erwähnung von Degenfelds neuem "lieu de repos" im vorliegenden Schreiben beziehen. Grotius selbst war zum damaligen Zeitpunkt schwedischer Botschafter in Paris; durch sein 1625 erschienes Hauptwerk "De jure belli ac pacis" gilt er als Begründer des internationalen Völkerrechts. - Briefe Grotius' sind von größter Seltenheit; der vorliegende ist der einzige, der seit 1950 auf dt. Auktionen nachweisbar war (Autographensammlung Dr. Robert Amman, Stargardt 16. XI. 1961, Nr. 353). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Circulus pisanus Claudii Berigardi ... Olim in Pisano, iam in Lyceo Patauino Philosophi primi paris

De veteri & Peripatetica Philosophia In Arist. libros Meteorologicos … Vtini, ex typographia Nicolai Schiratti, 1642-47, 6 parti in un vol. in-4, in perfetto cartone rustico d’origine, parzialmente ricoperto in pergamena, con 2 titoli manoscritti. Con un antiporta inciso raffigurante i 6 cerchi che racchiudono i nomi dei dedicatari e fuori testo un bel ritratto dell’autore inciso da “G. Georgi”. Prima edizione, impressa a Udine e rarissima, di questa sinopsi delle lezioni tenute da Beaurigard all’Università di Pisa a commento delle teorie aristoteliche sulla fisica: in priores libros Phys. Arist. 1643, pp. (8), 70, (1 f. bianco). In octauum librum physicorum. 1643, pp. (8), 139, (1). In libro de Coelo. 1647, pp. (12), 140; in libros Meteorologicos. 1647, pp. (8), 36. In lib. de ortu et interitu. 1643 pp. (8), 176. In tres libros Aristotelis de Anima. 1643, pp. (8), 142, (2). Il Beauregard (Moulins 1578 - Padova 1663), fu autore della prima critica al Dialogo di Galileo, le Dubitationes in Dialogum Galilaei. Scritta a Pisa nel Giugno del 1632, fu l’opera che darà origine al dibattito che porterà alla messa all’Indice della pietra miliare galileiana: ritenendo che Galileo non avesse fornito prove sufficienti della rotazione della Terra, discute del moto, della pluralità dei mondi, e delle maree, attribuendole correttamente al moto della luna attorno alla terra; presenta anche alcune dimostrazioni geometriche del movimento del sole e dell’immobilità della terra. Le sei parti del Circulus sono raramente reperibili insieme, anche in biblioteche pubbliche; furono ristampate a Padova nel 1660. Esemplare perfetto, freschissimo con barbe e parecchi quaderni ancora da tagliare; nota di possesso e timbro settecentesco di biblioteca religiosa estinta al titolo. DSB II.12-14: “He was not aware of the implications of his own corpuscular philosophy or the importance of universal mechanism”. Cfr. CHECCHINI DEGAN, Nuovi studi su Claude Beauregard.

Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642. . Large folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.). . 17 (out of 19 or 20) large engraved plates of the second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139). The title of this series Oficina arcularia (The cabinetmaker's shop ...), with the translation of the title in French, German and Dutch, shows that the publisher was aiming at an international market. They also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs and an engraved title in an ornamental surround which is very similar to Crispijn's (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the 1642 edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing. A third edition appeared in 1651:A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).A [bis] - B: measured elevations and details of the five orders.C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.E-M: further furniture designs, often half-symmetry.

The architectural plates by Crispijn II de Passe Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642. Large folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.). 17 (out of 19 or 20) large engraved plates of the second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139). The title of this series Oficina arcularia (The cabinetmaker's shop ...), with the translation of the title in French, German and Dutch, shows that the publisher was aiming at an international market. They also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs and an engraved title in an ornamental surround which is very similar to Crispijn's (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the 1642 edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing. A third edition appeared in 1651:A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).A [bis] - B: measured elevations and details of the five orders.C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.E-M: further furniture designs, often half-symmetry. Plate G is called 'G2'. As the BAL copy has only plate 'G1', this is possibly an unrecorded variant (altered for the third edition of 1651?). Plate K is lacking.N: six chairs and three tables.O: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser.

BERIGARD
Circulus pisanus Claudii Berigardi ... Olim in Pisano, iam in Lyceo Patauino Philosophi primi paris
|
De veteri & Peripatetica Philosophia In Arist. libros Meteorologicos … Vtini, ex typographia Nicolai Schiratti, 1642-47, 6 parti in un vol. in-4, in perfetto cartone rustico d’origine, parzialmente ricoperto in pergamena, con 2 titoli manoscritti. Con un antiporta inciso raffigurante i 6 cerchi che racchiudono i nomi dei dedicatari e fuori testo un bel ritratto dell’autore inciso da “G. Georgi”. Prima edizione, impressa a Udine e rarissima, di questa sinopsi delle lezioni tenute da Beaurigard all’Università di Pisa a commento delle teorie aristoteliche sulla fisica: in priores libros Phys. Arist. 1643, pp. (8), 70, (1 f. bianco). In octauum librum physicorum. 1643, pp. (8), 139, (1). In libro de Coelo. 1647, pp. (12), 140; in libros Meteorologicos. 1647, pp. (8), 36. In lib. de ortu et interitu. 1643 pp. (8), 176. In tres libros Aristotelis de Anima. 1643, pp. (8), 142, (2). Il Beauregard (Moulins 1578 - Padova 1663), fu autore della prima critica al Dialogo di Galileo, le Dubitationes in Dialogum Galilaei. Scritta a Pisa nel Giugno del 1632, fu l’opera che darà origine al dibattito che porterà alla messa all’Indice della pietra miliare galileiana: ritenendo che Galileo non avesse fornito prove sufficienti della rotazione della Terra, discute del moto, della pluralità dei mondi, e delle maree, attribuendole correttamente al moto della luna attorno alla terra; presenta anche alcune dimostrazioni geometriche del movimento del sole e dell’immobilità della terra. Le sei parti del Circulus sono raramente reperibili insieme, anche in biblioteche pubbliche; furono ristampate a Padova nel 1660. Esemplare perfetto, freschissimo con barbe e parecchi quaderni ancora da tagliare; nota di possesso e timbro settecentesco di biblioteca religiosa estinta al titolo. DSB II.12-14: “He was not aware of the implications of his own corpuscular philosophy or the importance of universal mechanism”. Cfr. CHECCHINI DEGAN, Nuovi studi su Claude Beauregard. Padova 1971 [10019] 11. Checchini Degan, Nuovi studi su Claude Beauregard. Padova 1971

THE ARRAIGNMENT AND CONVICTION OF MERVIN LORD AUDLEY, EARLE OF CASTLEHAVEN (WHO WAS BY 26 PEERS OF THE REALM FOUND GUILTY FOR COMMITTING RAPINE AND SODOMY) AT WESTMINSTER, ON MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1631.AS ALSO THE BEHEADING OF THE SAID EARLE SHORTLY AFTER ON TOWER HILL.
|
London: Printed for Tho. Thomas, 1642. Small 4to, disbound and intact, with the original sewing still in place; frontispiece (a portrait of Castlehaven, captioned with a list of the 26 peers who tried and convicted him), title page, pp. [1]-12, complete. First and only edition of the earliest book devoted to the celebrated 1631 trial, "the first reported trial for homosexual offenses in England" (H. Montgomery Hyde, THE OTHER LOVE, London, 1970, p. 44). In her recent monograph (A HOUSE IN GROSS DISORDER: SEX, LAW, AND THE 2ND EARL OF CASTLEHAVEN, New York, 1999), Cynthia B. Herrup claims that the London imprint is fictitious and that this anonymous pamphlet was most likely printed in Bristol for Thomas Thomas, a Bristol bookseller. The word "The" shaved at the top of title page, still a lovely copy of an exceedingly rare and important book. **** Sodomy first became a civil offense in England in 1533, and became a criminal offense in 1562, though it had long been a capital crime under ecclesiastical law. It continued to be punishable by death in England until 1861, when the maximum penalty was reduced to life imprisonment. The law was not repealed until 1967. B.R. Burg refers to several cases previous to Castlehaven's of men being brought to trial in England for sodomy, but these are cases without any historical record of verdict (see his article in JOURNAL OF HOMOSEXUALITY, VI:1-2 [1980-81]). In A HOUSE IN GROSS DISORDER, Herrup discusses "the two best- documented charges of sodomy before 1631": one case did not lead to prosecution for sodomy; in the other, "[Walter, Lord] Hungerford did not die because he was a sodomite or because he mistreated his wife, but the allegations in her petition helped to make his other behavior and his link to [Thomas] Cromwell seem more obvious." Herrup goes on to point out that "because the [Castlehaven] scandal was the earliest secular English prosecution for sodomy for which we have extensive documentation, authors (particularly popular authors) interested in male homosexuality have used it to anchor their histories, seeing it as an important moment in the tortuous relationship between private individuals and the state." Moreover, "the trial of Lord Castlehaven was to remain the leading case on the law of buggery for almost two centuries" (Montgomery Hyde, op. cit., p. 57). **** The Castlehaven trial was important for other reasons as well. For instance, according to Herrup, "the trial was 'epoch-making' and immediately recognized as such, in its insistence that a wife could testify against her husband." According to Ian McCormick, "this case had made legal history because the Lord Chief Justice concluded that a criminal participant could be a legal witness until he himself was convicted" (SECRET SEXUALITIES: A SOURCEBOOK OF 17TH AND 18TH CENTURY WRITING, London, 1997). Finally, some literary scholars have argued that the story of the trial influenced the plot of Milton's COMUS. (Incidentally, the Lord Chief Justice's ruling in the Castlehaven trial that emission without penetration was sufficient for a conviction of buggery did NOT withstand the test of time and never served as a determining precedent.) **** The revised edition of Wing lists only eight copies of this pamphlet, about evenly distributed between institutions in the U.S. and the U.K., and a search of OCLC, RLIN, and the British Library Integrated Catalogue locates no others. It is of the utmost rarity in commerce. For example, neither I nor any other specialist dealer I have been able to consult has ever seen or heard of a copy being offered for sale in our lifetimes.

Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642.. Folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. Together 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.).. This work apparently was also sold as the third part of a larger work consisting of three parts, evidently printed at the same time (the parts could also be sold separately):- Part 1: Jacob Barozzio de Vignola, Regola de'cinque ordini d'architettura ... Con la nuova aggionta di Michel-Angelo Buonaroti (together with title in Dutch, French and German; Amsterdam, (Crispijn de Passe) for Jan Jansz. & Jan van Hilten, 1642). Here not present.- Part 2: La ii parte dell architettura dell Vignola e'altri famossi architetti ... (14 plates present, see below).- Part 3: our Oficina arcularia . From Part 3 which originally contains 19 (or 20) large engraved plates, we have here 17 plates of this second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139). The title of this series Oficina arcularia (The cabinetmaker's shop ...), with the translation of the title in French, German and Dutch, shows that the publisher was aiming at an international market. The plates also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs which are very similar to Crispijn's plates (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the present enlarged second 1642-edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing (A third edition appeared in 1651):- A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).- A[bis] - B: 2 plates with measured elevations and details of the five orders.- C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).- D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.- E-I, L-M: 7 plates with further furniture designs, often half-symmetry. Plate G is called 'G2'. As the BAL copy has only plate 'G1', this is possibly an unrecorded variant (altered for the third edition of 1651?). Plate K is lacking.- N: six chairs and three tables.- O: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser. The 'O'-plate was probably added for the 1651 edition and was originally plate XXIII in section 1 of part 2 (see below). Plate P is lacking.- Q: three grotesque cartouches ('O' in the BAL copy!)- R: swags and grotesque masks.- S: six herms and other supporters.(T: there is no plate T in this copy, but it is suggested that most copies don't have that plate at all).The present collection of plates includes also the following 14 large engraved and etched plates from part 2 (containing a total of 83 plates, divided in 2 sections: (1) plates I-XXVI and (2) 5 series of resp. 6, 6, 10, 6 and 29 plates).Here are present all the plates designed by Dutch architects ; they are engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus van Vianen):- from section 1 : all the 4 plates ( 3 plates ; plate XXIII: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser, transferred as plate 'O' to part 3 (see above)) of designs by Dutch architects and artists (the other 22 plates are by Italian architects): - plate XXIIII: a font or fountain signed 'M.M. Keyser inventor'. - plate XXIIII [= XXVI] (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen inven:'. This state not in Hollstein : the engraved Roman number in upper right corner differs from the copy listed by Hollstein, where the number is almost completely erased and altered in a newly engraved "XXVI" (just below the location of the erased number). - plate XXV (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen delin: F.'. Plates XXIIII XXV are engraved by the famous silversmith Paulus Paulusz van Vianen (ca. 1607-1652) and are probably published here for the first time .- from section 2 : - the complete second series of 6 plates , numbered I-VI: six elevations of Dutch houses. Plates II-IV are signed as drawn by P. Vingboons. Plates I and V may not be by Vingboons, and were not among the designs published in his Afbeelsels der voornaemste gebouwen (with plates by Johannes Vingboons after Philp Vingboons) which included versions in reverse of plates II-IV and VI. - plates II-VI of the 4th series, consisting of 5 plate s : five elevations and plans for doorways and porticos. Plate II has the title: " Porta del inventione de Joan de Santen Archite (sic) Romano. Poort naer de inventie van Joan van Santen Architeckt tot Roomen" .So this additional collection of 14 beautiful large architectural plates are all the plates designed by Dutch architects and engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus Paulusz van Vianen) from the second part of the 1642 edition of the famous Regola delli cinque ordini d'architectura by Vignola. Added are 2 smaller engraved plates of ornamented fire-places, numbered 18 and 21, from an unidentified edition. Prevenance: From the collection of the Antwerp architect August Sschoy (1838-1885). Schoy was professor at the royal academy of arts in Antwerp and author of the reward-winning Histoire de l'influence italienne sur l'architecture dans les Pays Bas (1879). The plates are in fair condition, all with the small collector's stamp of the Antwerp architect Auguste Schoy (1838-1885).- (Fronthinge weak; some staining and tears (repaired), some margins strengthened or repaired, 4 plates without margins mounted on fitting leaves). Ilja Veldman, Crispijn de Passe and his progeny (2001), p. 263, 337 and figs. 139 and 140; Hollstein XVI, 174; Hollstein Paulus Paulusz. Van Vianen 1 and 2; cf.

JOUSSE, Mathurin
Le Secret d'architecture découvrant fidèlement les traits géométriques, couppes, et dérobemens nécessaires dans les bastiments
|
La Flèche George Griveau 1642 folio, [8], 228 p., with 112 (misnumbered 113) full-page woodcut illustrations, of which 12 are folding, some slight browning of the paper & a few light stains, but good copy in contemporary limp vellum Fowler 160; Millard I, 82; Berlin Kat. 2538. Only edition, and an interesting provincial imprint, from La Flèche in the Loire region. Jousse (1607- 1692) also wrote treatises on locks and on carpentry, but here he tackles a more difficult technical subject for architects and master masons, ‘stereotomy’, or the application of geometry to stone-cutting. Philibert de l’Orme had touched on this, but Jousse supersedes his work. Some of the illustrations are similar to the drawings Jousse did for the French edition of Pélerin’s book on perspective. As the only really thorough practical handbook available the book was read to pieces, and is very rare today; it is significant that the only recent copy at auction, from the superb Macclesfield library, was seriously imperfect. OCLC records in 3 American libraries, U.Penn., Yale and the Canadian Center; Millard references the copy at National Gallery in Washington; at least at the time of NUC there was one at Boston Public. In 1984 this copy passed through the hands of E.P.Goldschmidt (with their stock code), who listed it at $9500 (then between £7000 and £8000): ‘the first copy we have ever seen’.

Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642. - Folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. Together 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.). This work apparently was also sold as the third part of a larger work consisting of three parts, evidently printed at the same time (the parts could also be sold separately):- Part 1: Jacob Barozzio de Vignola, Regola de'cinque ordini d'architettura. Con la nuova aggionta di Michel-Angelo Buonaroti (together with title in Dutch, French and German; Amsterdam, (Crispijn de Passe) for Jan Jansz. & Jan van Hilten, 1642).

(14 plates present, see below).- Part 3: our Oficina arcularia.From Part 3 which originally contains 19 (or 20) large engraved plates, we have here 17 plates of this second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139).

Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642.. Large folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. Together 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.).. This work apparently was also sold as the third part of a larger work consisting of three parts, evidently printed at the same time (the parts could also be sold separately):- Part 1: Jacob Barozzio de Vignola, Regola de'cinque ordini d'architettura ... Con la nuova aggionta di Michel-Angelo Buonaroti (together with title in Dutch, French and German; Amsterdam, (Crispijn de Passe) for Jan Jansz. & Jan van Hilten, 1642). Here not present.- Part 2: La ii parte dell architettura dell Vignola e'altri famossi architetti ... (14 plates present, see below).- Part 3: our Oficina arcularia . From Part 3 which originally contains 19 (or 20) large engraved plates, we have here 17 plates of this second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139). The title of this series Oficina arcularia (The cabinetmaker's shop ...), with the translation of the title in French, German and Dutch, shows that the publisher was aiming at an international market. The plates also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs which are very similar to Crispijn's plates (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the present enlarged second 1642-edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing (A third edition appeared in 1651):- A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).- A[bis] - B: 2 plates with measured elevations and details of the five orders.- C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).- D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.- E-I, L-M: 7 plates with further furniture designs, often half-symmetry. Plate G is called 'G2'. As the BAL copy has only plate 'G1', this is possibly an unrecorded variant (altered for the third edition of 1651?). Plate K is lacking.- N: six chairs and three tables.- O: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser. The 'O'-plate was probably added for the 1651 edition and was originally plate XXIII in section 1 of part 2 (see below). Plate P is lacking.- Q: three grotesque cartouches ('O' in the BAL copy!)- R: swags and grotesque masks.- S: six herms and other supporters.(T: there is no plate T in this copy, but it is suggested that most copies don't have that plate at all).The present collection of plates includes also the following 14 large engraved and etched plates from part 2 (containing a total of 83 plates, divided in 2 sections: (1) plates I-XXVI and (2) 5 series of resp. 6, 6, 10, 6 and 29 plates).Here are present all the plates designed by Dutch architects ; they are engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus van Vianen):- from section 1 : all the 4 plates ( 3 plates ; plate XXIII: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser, transferred as plate 'O' to part 3 (see above)) of designs by Dutch architects and artists (the other 22 plates are by Italian architects): - plate XXIIII: a font or fountain signed 'M.M. Keyser inventor'. - plate XXIIIII (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen inven:'. - plate XXVI (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen delin: F.'. Plates XXIIIII-XXVI are etched by the famous silversmith Paulus van Vianen and are probably published here for the first time .- from section 2 : - the complete second series of 6 plates , numbered I-VI: six elevations of Dutch houses. Plates II-IV are signed as drawn by P. (Philips or Pieter) and Pieter Vingboons. Plates I and V may not be by Vingboons, and were not among the designs published in his Afbeelsels der voornaemste gebouwen , which included re-engraved versions of plates II-IV and VI. - plates II-VI of the 4th series, consisting of 5 plates : five elevations and plans for doorways and porticos. Plate II has the title: " Porta del inventione de Joan de Santen Archite (sic) Romano. Poort naer de inventie van Joan van Santen Architeckt tot Roomen" .So this additional collection of 14 beautiful large architectural plates are all the plates designed by Dutch architects and engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus van Vianen) from the second part of the 1642 edition of the famous Regola delli cinque ordini d'architectura by Vignola. Added are 2 smaller engraved plates of ornamented fire-places, numbered 18 and 21, from an unidentified edition. The plates are in fair condition all with a small blue stamp (with the monogram 'AA'?).- (Fronthinge weak; some staining and tears (repaired), some margins strengthened or repaired, 4 plates without margins mounted on fitting leaves). Ilja Veldman, Crispijn de Passe and his progeny (2001), p. 263, 337 and figs. 139 and 140; Hollstein XVI, 174; Jervis, Printed furniture designs (1974), p. 41 and figs. 291-308; BAL 3452 (s.v.

TETIUS, HIERONYMUS.
Aedes Barberinae ad Quirinalem.
|
Romae, Excudebat Mascardus, 1642. Folio. Beautiful red full morocco w. richly gilt back. Boards w. gilt ornamental borders, inside which another square gilt border w. a large diamond-shaped border inside, gilt corner-ornamentations. Triple blind-stamped line-borders following the gilt ones (gift-binding). On both boards a centre-ornamentation (weapon?) has been removed (to hide provenance?), revealing beautiful, cont. but vague drawings of angels on both boards, inside the gilt border, surrounding the missing centrepiece. All edges gilt, capitals, hinges and corners professionally restored. Lacking ties. Inside of boards and endpapers w. insect-bites. A cont. owner's name has been removed from top of frontispiece (same provenance as that of the removed weapons?). Some brownspotting and overall wear. Some leaves w. small holes to margins, none affecting illustrations or text. A few of the folded plates w. tears and a few w. repairs. Engr. frontispiece/ t-p., numerous large engr. head- and tail-pieces and initials, engr. text-illustrations, 18 full-page engr. plates and 11 folded engr. plates. (6), 221, (1), (30) pp. Very scarce first edition, only printed in very few copies, which were probably all given as gift-copies to the Barberini-family and friends, with "Donum auctoris" printed at bottom of title-page. A second enlarged edition appeared in 1647 after the death of Tetius and Pope Urban the VIII, it was printed in much larger numbers and is more common than the first, though still a rarity. "Il a étè réimpr. en 1647, sur plus grand papier; mais on préfère la première édition." (Brunet V: 765-66). This richly illustrated work is renowned for its beauty. It contains the beautiful and famous engravings of the treasures and interior of the Barberini Palace in Rome. It was printed to celebrate the building of Pope Urban VIII (Maffeo Barberini) and his nephew Cardinal Francesco Barberini's then new palace on the Quirinal at Rome. Many of the folded plates depict the famous fresco-ceiling by Pietro da Cortona in the Palazzo Barberini Salone. The illustrations are so excellent that Tetius himself described the work as a second palace serving as a stand-in for the real one and being equivalent to a visit to it. The plate with the portrait of Pope Urban VIII is drawn by Andreas Camass and executed by Jo. Frederic Greuter, other plates are by Cungius, Petrus Berettius da Cortona & Cornelius Bloemaert, and Camillus C.The book seems to be complete, as it collates as thus: Engr. frontispiece (or t-p.), t-p. w. large engr. vignette, one unnumbered leaf w. 2 engr. vignettes (probably misbound and should have been pp. 5-6 (A3) ), p.1 (A1) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p. 3 (A2) w. engr. vignette (no A3, as this is probably the leaf bound in as the 3rd unnumbered leaf), p.7 (A4) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p. 9 (B1) w. engr. vignette, p. 10 (verso of B1) w. large vignette/ illustr., full-page engr. portrait of Pope Urban VIII, p. 11 (B2) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p. 41 (F1) w. engr. end-vignette, p. 42 (verso of F1) w. engr. vignette/ illustr., full-page engr. plate of the Barberini Palace with garden, p. 43 (F2) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p 46 (verso of F3) w. engr. end-vignette, 4 large folded engr. plates of the fresco-ceiling, p. 48 (verso of F4) w. engr. end-vignette, 1 large folded engr. plate (fresco-ceiling), p. 54 (verso of G3) w. engr. end-vignette, 1 large folded engr. plate (fresco-ceiling), p. 58 (verso of H1) w. large engr. illustr., p. 59 (H2) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p. 67 (I2) w. engr. portrait inside Barberini-border, p. 71 (I3) w. engr. portrait inside Barberini-border, p. 73 (I4) w. engr. portrait inside Barberini-border, p. 75 (K2) w. engr. portrait inside Barberini-border, p. 82 (verso of K4) w. engr. illustr. and engr. vignette, p. 83 (L2) w. engr. vignette and engr. initial, p. 96 (verso of L4) w. engr. end-vignette/ -illustration, p. 97 (N1) w. engr. vignette and engr

Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642. - Large folio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.). 17 (out of 19 or 20) large engraved plates of the second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139).

They also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs and an engraved title in an ornamental surround which is very similar to Crispijn's (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the 1642 edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing. A third edition appeared in 1651:A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).A [bis] - B: measured elevations and details of the five orders.C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.E-M: further furniture designs, often half-symmetry.

The architectural plates by Crispijn de Passe the Younger Amsterdam, Crispijn de Passe, 1642. Largefolio. Loose lvs. in half vellum cover, sides covered with marbled paper. The lvs. have been provisionally bound together: traces of binding in the left margins. Together 31 large engraved architectural plates of classical columns, wooden furniture, ornaments, fountains, doorways, designs of Dutch houses of ca. 300 x 200 mm. by Crispijn II de Passe and Paulus van Vianen; added are 2 smaller plates of ornamented fire-places (ca. 220 x 150 mm.). This work apparently was also sold as the third part of a larger work consisting of three parts, evidently printed at the same time (the parts could also be sold separately):- Part 1: Jacob Barozzio de Vignola, Regola de'cinque ordini d'architettura ... Con la nuova aggionta di Michel-Angelo Buonaroti (together with title in Dutch, French and German; Amsterdam, (Crispijn de Passe) for Jan Jansz. & Jan van Hilten, 1642). Here not present.- Part 2: La ii parte dell architettura dell Vignola e'altri famossi architetti ... (14 plates present, see below).- Part 3: our Oficina arcularia.From Part 3 which originally contains 19 (or 20) large engraved plates, we have here 17 plates of this second very enlarged edition of this series of architectonical plates by Crispijn II de Passe. The first edition of this series, consisting of only 14 plates (numbered A (title), and A-N) of expensive and fashionable pieces of furniture of French and Dutch design, was published by Crispijn I de Passe in Utrecht in 1621 (see reproduction of the title in Veldman, fig. 139). The title of this series Oficina arcularia (The cabinetmaker's shop ...), with the translation of the title in French, German and Dutch, shows that the publisher was aiming at an international market. The plates also demonstrate that Crispijn II not only had a thorough knowledge of the latest developments in furniture-making and styles of ornament, but also that he was well acquainted with the work of his predecessor Hans Vredeman de Vries's Differents pourtraicts de menuiserie which was published by Philips Galle in Antwerp around 1583, containing 16 plates with furniture designs which are very similar to Crispijn's plates (see Hollstein XLVIII, part 2, 491-507).In the present enlarged second 1642-edition there are 6 more plates, while one of the first edition is missing (A third edition appeared in 1651):- A: Title within an asymmetrical Corinthian frame (see Veldman, fig. 139).- A[bis] - B: 2 plates with measured elevations and details of the five orders.- C: decoration for furniture (mantelpieces?).- D: a half symmetry view of designs for an ornate bed.- E-I, L-M: 7 plates with further furniture designs, often half-symmetry. Plate G is called 'G2'. As the BAL copy has only plate 'G1', this is possibly an unrecorded variant (altered for the third edition of 1651?). Plate K is lacking.- N: six chairs and three tables.- O: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser. The 'O'-plate was probably added for the 1651 edition and was originally plate XXIII in section 1 of part 2 (see below). Plate P is lacking.- Q: three grotesque cartouches ('O' in the BAL copy!)- R: swags and grotesque masks.- S: six herms and other supporters.(T: there is no plate T in this copy, but it is suggested that most copies don't have that plate at all).The present collection of plates includes also the following 14 large engraved and etched plates from part 2 (containing a total of 83 plates, divided in 2 sections: (1) plates I-XXVI and (2) 5 series of resp. 6, 6, 10, 6 and 29 plates).Here are present all the plates designed by Dutch architects; they are engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus van Vianen):- from section 1: all the 4 plates (3 plates; plate XXIII: a half of a pulpit, attributed to Hendrick de Keyser, transferred as plate 'O' to part 3 (see above)) of designs by Dutch architects and artists (the other 22 plates are by Italian architects): - plate XXIIII: a font or fountain signed 'M.M. Keyser inventor'. - plate XXIIIII (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen inven:'. - plate XXVI (partly erased): a fountain signed 'Paulus van Vianen delin: F.'. Plates XXIIIII-XXVI are etched by the famous silversmith Paulus van Vianen and are probably published here for the first time.- from section 2: - the complete second series of 6 plates, numbered I-VI: six elevations of Dutch houses. Plates II-IV are signed as drawn by P. (Philips or Pieter) and Pieter Vingboons. Plates I and V may not be by Vingboons, and were not among the designs published in his Afbeelsels der voornaemste gebouwen, which included re-engraved versions of plates II-IV and VI. - plates II-VI of the 4th series, consisting of 5 plates: five elevations and plans for doorways and porticos. Plate II has the title: " Porta del inventione de Joan de Santen Archite (sic) Romano. Poort naer de inventie van Joan van Santen Architeckt tot Roomen" .So this additional collection of 14 beautiful large architectural plates are all the plates designed by Dutch architects and engraved by Crispijn II de Passe (and 2 by Paulus van Vianen) from the second part of the 1642 edition of the famous Regola delli cinque ordini d'architectura by Vignola. Added are 2 smaller engraved plates of ornamented fire-places, numbered 18 and 21, from an unidentified edition. The plates are in fair condition all with a small blue stamp (with the monogram 'AA'?).- (Fronthinge weak; some staining and tears (repaired), some margins strengthened or repaired, 4 plates without margins mounted on fitting leaves).

Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi, Arrivée de Ferdinand Roi D’Espagne à Anvers.

1642 - 1 volume grand in folio, plein veau grenat de l’époque, dos muet, petites restaurations à la reliure, quelques rousseurs et mouillures éparses. Bien complet des 39 planches, d’après Rubens 1642. En 1634, Pierre Paul Rubens (1577-1640) est chargé par la ville d'Anvers de concevoir Une série d'arcs de triomphe, d'estrades et de décorations pour célébrer l'arrivée du nouveau gouverneur, le cardinal-infant Ferdinand, neveu de l'infante Isabelle. Victorieux sur les forces suédoises, pour le compte des Habsbourg, il était arrivé à Bruxelles en novembre 1634 et projetait son entrée à Anvers pour janvier 1635. Un triumvirat composé de Pierre Paul Rubens, Nicolaas Rockox et Jan Caspar Gewaerts prépara la version la plus baroque de toute l'histoire des cérémonies nationales : une série d'arcs de triomphe et de reconstitutions de scènes en plein air, édifiés tout au long de l'itinéraire du cortège à travers les rues de la ville. L'exécution de ces monuments provisoires, conçus dans une architecture composite associant bois, sculpture et peinture, demandait une armée d'artisans menuisiers, sculpteurs et peintres travaillant sous la direction de Rubens. Rubens écrira à son plus proche ami, Peiresc, savant prestigieux du 17ème siècle, avec qui il correspondra toute sa vie : "Je suis surchargé par la préparation de l'Entrée du cardinal-infant. Vous ne serez pas mécontent de l'invention et de la variété des sujets, de la nouveauté des dessins et de l'habileté de leur utilisation. Peut-être les verrez-vous un jour, publiés et ornés de belles inscriptions et vers de notre ami Gewaerts." Ni Peiresc, mort en 1637, ni Rubens, ne devaient vivre assez longtemps pour voir la splendide publication de "Pompa Introitus Ferdinandi" en 1642, qui rendit compte, pour la postérité, de l'entreprise la plus vaste mais aussi la plus éphémère de P.P. Rubens, sous la forme des magnifiques gravures qu'en fit Théodore Van Thulden.

Réunion très rare de 3 ouvrages importants pour l'histoire de la Catalogne, traduits en Français. Ils concernent le conflit connu sous le nom de "Guerra dels Segadors", qui opposa les Catalans au Roi d'Espagne entre 1640 et 1652, date à laquelle la capitulation de Barcelone après un long siège, mit fin au conflit. Ces traductions françaises, imprimées dans la ville normande de Rouen, sont très rares. Palau ne connaissait, des deux premiers textes, que les exemplaires de la Biblioteca de Catalunya. Ces ouvrages ont été publiés séparément mais ils se trouvent ici réunis par l'éditeur qui a fait imprimer le titre collectif suivant: "Histoire de tout ce qui s'est passé en la Catalogne depuis qu'elle a secoué le joug de l'Espagnol .". Palau ne connaissait pas ce tirage particulier. Quelques traces d'usure à la reliure, des rousseurs. Bon exemplaire.

1642 1642. Amstelodami. Apud Ioannem & Iodocum Ianssonios. 4to . 208 pp + errata leaf. Bound in comptemporary hard vellum in perfect condition. Interior in pristine condition. Title in red & black. Complete of the 2 plates of the kabbalistical tree. Parrallel text in hebrew & latin. Bound with : - Maimonides - Consitutiones de fundamentis legis - 1684 Franequerae - Leonardi Strick - 148 pp - Abravanel - Liber de capite fidei - 684 Franequerae - Leonardi Strick - 118 pp This is the extremely rare second edition of one of the most important text of the kabbalah. The Sefer Yetzirah is devoted to speculations concerning God's creation of the world. The ascription of its authorship to the biblical patriarch Abraham shows the high esteem which it enjoyed for centuries. It may even be said that this work had a greater influence on the development of the Jewish mind than almost any other book after the completion of the Talmud. The Sefer Yetzirah describes the universe as being created through Ten Numbers ('Sefirot,' the origin for the Sefirot of later Kabbalah), Three Mother Letters, Seven Double Letters and Twelve Elemental Letters and that God created the universe through these four structures. These structures correspond to the astrological symbols in the sky, the planets, human physical functions, the parts of the human body. According to modern historians, the origin of the text is unknown, and hotly debated. Some scholars emphasize its context among various Medieval kabbalistic texts arising after the 10th century CE, while other scholars emphasize the earlier traditions apparently referring to it and its earlier textual features. Some of the core ideas in the book seem to have a Babylonian origin. The idea of the creative power of the various sounds is possibly Egyptian. The division of the letters into the three classes of vowels, mutes, and sonants is Hellenic, although this classification necessarily underwent changes when applied to the Hebrew letters. The historical origin of the Sefer Yetzirah is accordingly placed by Reizenstein in the second century BCE. The Hebrew grammatical form places its origin closer to the period of the Mishna around the second century CE.

The beautiful large emblems, here in first impressions, by the sensitive artist Salomon Savry, or Saverij (Amsterdam 1594-1678), all have a two-lined motto in Dutch above and in French below. Emblem XIV is mounted in correction as it should be in the first edition. The present first edition is the only one with French text, and the only one in quarto. The book was republished till the middle of the 18th century, but all in octavo. Beautiful copy with a great provenance, in special binding of the famous library of the Earl of Spencer, and with the book-label of Althorp.- (Binding sl. rubbed at corners).

First and only edition. 4to (15 x 19cm) [8]pp., an excellent copy in modern full calf, sponge-patterned, with blind stamped decoration, spine titled in gilt, the Bradley Martin copy, with bookplate. A stinging biographical lampoon of Henry Walker (fl.1638-1660), the journalist and bookselling preacher, by John Taylor (1580-1653), the Water poet. Walker gained the epithet "ironmonger" from an early apprenticeship, however he was drawn into journalism and preaching and through both means he propagated his anti-episcopal message. He printed numerous "seditious and scandalous libells" and in 1644 became involved in the perodical press, being responsible for many short-lived but influential titles, including "Occurrences of Certain Speciall and Remarkable Passages" (1644) and subsequently "Perfect Occurrences". "During 1642 Walker engaged in a pamphlet exchange with John Taylor, who repeatedly stigmatized him as an ignoramus ironmonger and a scandalous preacher ... Walker's contemporary notoriety was chiefly as a newsbook editor, perhaps second only to Marchamont Nedham in prominence" (ODNB). In relation to the printing of seditious literature, Taylor accuses Walker of being the "chiefe or main stickler in this cause", and goes on to descibe the setting-up of Walker's bookshop, in which "hee not having any word of God in his said shop above the bulke or size of a horne-booke". Taylor estimates that Walker's output must have been "4. or 500000. of such pamphlets ... by which means or doings, some hundred of thread-bare scriblers fell to the trade of scandalous writing, and newes making ... these scandalous fooleries (or knaveries) were of such attractive force and power, that they drew at least 500. vagrants and vagabonds from all the shires round about London, and they were all suddainely metamorphis'd and transform'd into wandring booke sellers". Taylor discusses Walker's network of pamphlet distributors and goes on to relate various brushes with the law, including one incident where Walker, before a sojourn in Newgate prison, hides out in an upholsterers shop, escaping from the authorities on a boat down the Thames. A rare and significant pamphlet relating this important early newspaper baron. This, the Bradley Martin copy, is the only copy to have appeared on the market in the last 20 years. Wing T530.

GUADAGNOLI (Philippo)
Breves arabicae lingua institutiones. Rome, ex typographia Sac. Congregationis de Propaganda Fide, excudebat Ioseph David Luna, Maronita,
|
Woodcut device on title-page, Arabic letters. Folio. [6]ff. 349pp. (lacking final blank). Contemporary vellum over paste-board. 1642. Rare first edition. Guadagnoli (c. 1596-1656), who was instrumental in the printing of the Arabic Bible, was the first Italian nominated as professor of Arabic at the Collegium Sapientiae (afterwards the University of Rome), in 1642, his predecessors having all been Maronites. "In the preface the author explains how his grammar serves a special purpose. The Arabic Bible was at that time being printed in an unvocalised text in order to make it acceptable to the Arabic-speaking world, and with this in mind Guadagnoli has paid special attention to the ratio et usus scribendi, and to the essentials of metrics. In this grammar we find printed for the first time the famous metrical poem Carmen Chazregiacum (al-Qasida al-Hazragiya) and the Carmen de invocationibus (al-Qasida al-Minadat), printed according to Guadagnoli after a manuscript from the library of Della Valle. At the end Guadagnoli printed also a few lines of an Arabic poem by the well known Maronite theologian Gabriel ibn al-Qulai" (Smitskamp). The Arabic types, also used for the Arabic Bible, are those of the Maronite, Joseph David Luna, nephew of the Archbishop of Damascus, who styled himself in Arabic as "Joseph of Mount Lebanon, from the town of Baslukith". A few quires lightly browned, some spotting. Schurrer 72. Smitskamp Philologia Orientalis no. 220. OCLC/RLIN (Harvard & Princeton only in U.S.A.)

First and only edition. 4to (15 x 19cm) [8]pp., an excellent copy in modern full calf, sponge-patterned, with blind stamped decoration, spine titled in gilt, the Bradley Martin copy, with bookplate. A stinging biographical lampoon of Henry Walker (fl.1638-1660), the journalist and bookselling preacher, by John Taylor (1580-1653), the Water poet. Walker gained the epithet "ironmonger" from an early apprenticeship, however he was drawn into journalism and preaching and through both means he propagated his anti-episcopal message. He printed numerous "seditious and scandalous libells" and in 1644 became involved in the perodical press, being responsible for many short-lived but influential titles, including "Occurrences of Certain Speciall and Remarkable Passages" (1644) and subsequently "Perfect Occurrences". "During 1642 Walker engaged in a pamphlet exchange with John Taylor, who repeatedly stigmatized him as an ignoramus ironmonger and a scandalous preacher ... Walker's contemporary notoriety was chiefly as a newsbook editor, perhaps second only to Marchamont Nedham in prominence" (ODNB). In relation to the printing of seditious literature, Taylor accuses Walker of being the "chiefe or main stickler in this cause", and goes on to descibe the setting-up of Walker's bookshop, in which "hee not having any word of God in his said shop above the bulke or size of a horne-booke". Taylor estimates that Walker's output must have been "4. or 500000. of such pamphlets ... by which means or doings, some hundred of thread-bare scriblers fell to the trade of scandalous writing, and newes making ... these scandalous fooleries (or knaveries) were of such attractive force and power, that they drew at least 500. vagrants and vagabonds from all the shires round about London, and they were all suddainely metamorphis'd and transform'd into wandring booke sellers". Taylor discusses Walker's network of pamphlet distributors and goes on to relate various brushes with the law, including one incident where Walker, before a sojourn in Newgate prison, hides out in an upholsterers shop, escaping from the authorities on a boat down the Thames. A rare and significant pamphlet relating this important early newspaper baron. This, the Bradley Martin copy, is the only copy to have appeared on the market in the last 20 years. Wing T530.

Daventriae (=Deventer), N.Cost, 1642.. Two works in one volume. 8vo. Contemporary vellum; overlapping boards; goldstamped title lable on spine; traces of ms. title on spine. Woodcut printer's device on title; woodcut endpiece on last page. (8), 189 pp. HORNIUS, Georgius. De originibus Americanis. Libri quatuor. (No place), Adrianus Vlacq, 1652. Two works in 1 volume. 8vo. Title in black and red; woodcut printer's device on title; some woodcut headpieces. (9), (11), 282 pp.. Ad 1: Rare, first and one of the most famous works by Nicolaas Blesdijk (1520-?) son-in-law and dedicated follower of David Joris of Delft. Although this work was first published in 1642, parts of it had already been written in 1559 or 1560. This "Historia vitae" was part of a more extensive work about the history of the baptists. When the work was finally published almost a hundred years later, it served as an important source for the description of the life of David Joris and of his doctrine throughout the 17th and 19th century. Jacob Revius, the famous Dutch scholar and writer, found this manuscript and "just" edited it, without any adaptation of the text. By doing this he preserved an important document of being lost forever. Ad 2: First edition of work by Gregorius Horn (1627-1670), a very productive and well-known writer of the 17th century. Most of his works are of historical or geographical nature. Because of his extensive oeuvre he was often accused of writing without properly consulting other works about the same subjects. He was very famous and wanted for his knowledge and was asked for several chairs. By the and of his life he became more and more under the influence of supersticion and he was then an easy victim of proposters, who took all his money. Beautiful copy. Ad 1: Posthumus Meysjes, Jacobus Revius, zijn leven en werken. 1895, Lijst van de werken van J. Revius, XVIII and pp. 217-219; Zijlstra, Nicolaas Meyndertsz. van Blesdijk.

Il est le fils de Sémélé et de Jupiter, c'est donc un demi-dieu. Sémélé mourut avant la naissance de Bacchus; elle voulut voir Jupiter dans toute sa splendeur, mais incapable de supporter l'éclat divin, elle tomba foudroyée. Aussitôt, Jupiter s'empressa de coudre l'enfant dans sa cuisse jusqu'à sa naissance (d'où son nom grec de Dionysos: deux fois né). Au crayon, sur la garde : Ç catalogue Taylor, n 628 É.

Cambridge, Printed by Roger Daniel .. 1642. 1642 Small 8vo., pp. [12], 54, [8], 109, [9], 45, [17]; some headlines and page numbers shaved, otherwise a fine, crisp copy in contemporary mottled calf, joints and ends of spine very slightly worn, later gilding (rubbed), old but not contemporary label; the Bradley Martin copy. First edition of an attractive volume of poetry by ‘one of the leading philosophers of his time’ and ‘the most prolific of the group of philosophical divines known now as the Cambridge Platonists’ (Oxford DNB). The four poems are about the life of the soul, the immortality of the soul, the wakefulness of the soul after death, and the plurality of souls. ‘Psychozoia’ in particular ‘has the first spontaneous glow of the satisfying revelation the author’s passionately hungry soul had sought and found’ (OHEL). The Spenserian stanza, long out of fashion by this date, while not perfectly handled throughout is peculiarly suited to the persistent trajectory of More’s thought from lucidity towards mysticism.Mindful of the obscurity of neo-Platonic vocabulary, More has seen fit to append an ‘interpretation of the more unusuall names or words that occurre in the foregoing Poems’, a glossary, in effect, of neo-Platonism. The expanded and revised text of 1647 brings with it an even greater supply of explanatory material, and the verses are smoother, but this first edition communicates an appealing freshness, and is much less common.

NEWTON, Isaac
Optice

NEWTON, Isaac (1642-1727) Optice: sive de reflexionibus, refractionibus, inflexionibus & coloribus lucis, libri tres. . . latine reddidit Samuel Clarke, S.T.P. Editio secunda, auctior. London: [colophon:] ex officina Gulielmi Bowyer typographi, kalend. Septemb. MDCCXVIII; [title:] impensis Gul. & Joh. Innys, 1719. Collation: 4to: (4 a4 B-3G4 ((1 bound after a4), 216 leaves, pp. [4] xi [1] 415 [1]. Prince of Wales feathers device on title, wood- or metal-cut initials and decorations in the text, woodcut diagrams on pp. 268 and 357. Plates: 19 engraved plates: numbered Lib. I Par. I Tab I-V, Lib. I. Par. I Tab. I-IV, Lib. II Tab. I-II, Lib. III Tab. I. (bound as throwouts on full aprons at the end). Condition: 218 x 168mm. Title a little dustsoiled, light dampstaining in blank outer margins of last 2 gatherings and into the engraved surface of the plates. Binding: Contemporary vellum boards, blue painted edges, plain endpapers, unlettered spine. A little worn and soiled, hinges strengthened, rear pastedown replaced. References: ESTC t93215; Wallis 181; Babson supplement p. 25. Second Latin edition, large paper issue translated by Abraham de Moivre (first edition 1704, translated into Latin with additions, 1706; this edition revised according to the second English edition, 1717). Bowyer printed 250 large paper copies in quarto and 750 copies in octavo (Babson supplement p. 25; both are signed as quartos and the setting seems to be unchanged). The second and definitive Latin edition, handsomely printed by William Bowyer (with colophon dated 1718), seen to good advantage in the now rare large paper copies. Following the second English edition (1717) the mathematical tracts are omitted and queries 25 to 31 are added, as explained in Newton's 'Monitio' dated 6 July 1717. The first edition contained sixteen queries, a further seven were added to the first Latin edition of 1706, and the final 8 to the second English edition of 1717. Though there were two further English editions in Newton's lifetime, with minor revisions but not significant editions, this was the last Latin edition on which the later continental editions were based. There are two advertisements, one in the prelims (?1) listing recent books published by William and John Innys, including the English edition of the Opticks, other works by Newton and the Philosophical transactions; the other, on the last leaf, works which they had for sale. This is particularly interesting as it shows that a number of now quite famous seventeenth-century books were still available new in 1719. These include Hooke's Posthumous works (1705), Wallis's Treatise of algebra (1685), and Horrocks Opera posthuma (1673, 1678). At the request of Newton, Dr. Samuel Clarke (Newton's disciple and Rector of St. James's, Westminster, whose alleged Arianism gave rise to so long a controversy) prepared a Latin edition of his Opticks, which appeared in 1706, and he was generously presented by Sir Isaac with £500. or £100 for each of his five children, as a token of the approbation and gratitude of the author. Demoivre is said to have secured and taken charge of this translation, and to have spared neither time nor trouble in the task. Newton met him every evening at a coffee-house, and when they had finished their work, he took Demoivre home with him to spend the evening in philosophical conversation. Both the English and the Latin editions have been frequently reprinted, both in England and on the Continent, and perhaps there never was a work of profound science more widely circulated.
