Boeclerus.
      VELLEIUS PATERCULUS, C. || BOECLERUS, Johann Heinrich (utg.) C. Velleii Paterculi hist. rom. ad M. Vinicius Cos. libri duo. Cum annotatis Johannis Henrici Bcleri. Strassburg, Joan. Philippi Mülbii, 1642. 8:o. (16),+ (223),+ (blank),+ 144, 195-366,+ (177) s. Titel tryckt i rött och svart. S. 199 med reva. Ställvis fläckig och med fuktränder, f.f.a. I-arket. Förordet något hårt beskuret i yttermarginal. Sammanbunden med: BOECLERUS, Johann Heinrich. Characteres politici Velleiani. Strassburg, Joan. Philippi Mülbii, 1642. 8:o. (144) s. Titel tryckt i rött och svart. Något nött hfrbd från mitten av 1700-talet, med sparsamt guldornerad rygg, upphöjda bind och beige titeletikett. Liten skada på övre kapitäl. Nils Sandbergs exlibris. Schweiger s. 1127 och 1133. Båda verken i första upplagan. Första arbetet innehåller även "Thrasybulos Pacificator, sive De amnestia", liksom Boeclerus långa kommentar. Det senare, Boeclerus politiska arbete om Velleius, utkom i nya upplagor 1662 och 1672. Johann Heinrich Boeclerus (1611-72) var tysk historiker och från år 1637 professor i vältalighet i Strassburg. Som sådan introducerade han den unge Schefferus i studiet av klassikerna. Han kallades av drottning Kristina till den skytteanska professuren i Uppsala 1647 men avböjde, och rekommenderade istället Schefferus. 1649 kom han ändå till Sverige och Uppsala som professor i vältalighet och 1651 utnämndes han till rikshistoriograf. Samma år återvände han dock till Strassburg och till professorsstolen i historia. Historikerna Tacitus och Velleius Paterculus ägnade han speciellt intresse. I denna utgåva följer han Voss' text från 1639, men hans kommentarer är mer politiskt-moraliska än filologiska.

BLAEU, Guillaume [Willem Jansz.].
Institution astronomique de l'usage des globes et spheres célestes et terrestres, comprise en deux parties, L'une, suivant l'hypoth'ese de Ptolémée, qui veut que la terre soit immobile; L'autre, selon l'intention de N. Copernicus, qui tient que la terre est mobile.
      Jean & Corneille Blaeu, Amsterdam 1642 - 4to (20.5 x 16.4 cm), title with woodcut device, [16], 277 pp. with woodcut head and tail pieces and numerous woodcut diagrams in text; light marginal waterstains at beginning. Contemporary dark speckled calf, spine with raised bands gilt in compartments, direct lettering to one compartment, edges sprinkled red; anciently rebacked preserving spine, lettering possibly later, slightly rubbed at extremities. Provenance: Pondeville? (early French owner's name deleted in ink on title); de la Place (signature on title); Faure 1795 (inscription on title); Frank Streeter (booklabel to upper pastedown). Fine copy of this celebrated treatise on the use of navigational instruments, especially globes, by "the greatest globe manufacturer in the world" (Globi Neerl. 176). Published during the golden age of globe production in the Low Countries, Blaeu's treatise concluded a series of manuals previously printed: "There were no other competing editions after this. Blaeu's manual also formed the basis for Moxon's 'A Tutor to Astronomy and Geography' in 1654" (Globi Neerl. 221). First published in Latin and Dutch in 1634, it became rapidly popular and was the first such treatise to be published in French outside Paris. Its content is inspired by other manuals with very similar titles, including A. Mertius' 'Institutiones' published by Blaeu himself some 20 years earlier. However Willem Jansz. introduces here a division in two sections, distinguishing the traditional Ptolomaic theory from the modern Copernican planetary system - for which he produced specific new globes. Doing this, he was making the manual irrelevant for mariners and hence emphasised in a new way the astronomical importance of globes. Houzeau & Lancaster 9714; Globi Neerlandici pp. 218-228, 628.

They are numbered with contemporary ink, or near contemporary ink on the spines as volumes 1, 2, and 3. The bindings are uniform seventeenth century parchment, in very good condition. Willems notes that theses Cicero's were printed on two papers, one of which is superior, those copies measure between 132 and 138 millimeters in height, our copy is 134 mm. . This edition, which is dedicated by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier to the Dutch diplomat Guillaume Boreel, is very pretty and well researched. The editors have followed the text of J. Gruter (Hamburg, 1618, 2 vols., in folio), the best edition of the period." (Willems)

Denis S K Low.
Chinese Snuff Bottles from the Sanctum of Enlightened Respect III.
      Laurence King. 2659, London. - The art of the snuff bottle has its origins in the introduction of tobacco snuff to the Imperial Court of the Manchus (Qing Dynasty 1642-1911). Powdered snuff was regarded as having medicinal qualities and with Court patronage, rapidly grew in popularity. Ornate snuff bottles were created by Chinese craftsmen from a bewildering array of materials: porcelain, enamel, metal, wood, jadeite, ivory and glass, using techniques only known in China at the time. Snuff boxes are elaborately decorated, invariably miniature and admired for their tactile qualities. The surviving examples are highly prized by collectors and students of the history of arts and crafts in China. This new book showcases in depth the style, history and significance of rare bottles from the 17th Century until the end of Imperial China and beyond. The author provides fresh insights into the sumptuous world of a fascinating art form deservedly attracting increased interest worldwide. 416 pages. 735 colour illustrations. Hardback, dust jacket, slipcase. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Montagu, Richard
The acts and monuments of the church before Christ incarnate
      London: Miles Flesher & Robert Young, 1642. Contemporary mottled calf, shellacked, covers framed and panelled in blind double fillets with blind-tooled corner fleurons, simply rebacked (without labels) with complementary mottled calf; board edges with gilt roll. Original leather rubbed, shellac showing small cracks, edge gilt mostly lost; title-page with small early inked addition to author's name and with inked numeral in lower margin. One early inked marginal annotation, one early inked doodle in lower margin. First and last few leaves with margins browned; light age-toning throughout; occasional foxing and spots of staining. Pagination interrupted, but collation matches ESTC. . Folio (27.7 cm, 10.9"). [4], 307, [1 (blank)], 313-552 pp. . First edition: Doctrinal discussion by Richard Montagu (or Mountague), Bishop of Norwich. A controversial theologian, Montagu sought to moderate between the extremes of Catholicism and Calvinism, with his stated goal being to support the Anglican Church by standing "in the gapp against Puritanisme and Popery" (Correspondence of John Cosin, 1.21). Allibone, however, joins many of the bishop's contemporaries in feeling that "There is no doubt as to the place where Bishop Montagu desired to go and to carry with him the king and the Church of England, - to the bosom of the Church of Rome." #11; In the present work Montagu examines Jewish doctrine and practices before the birth of Jesus, and their implications for Christianity; in doing so he argues strongly against Casaubon, Scaliger, and other Protestant scholars, while defending the Catholic Baronius and his Annales Ecclesiastici. The dedication, written in Latin and Greek, is addressed to Jesus Christ.

In Hebrew. Binding in fair, inside in good condition. On the author (Source: Rabbi Shlomo Katz, quoted in Congregation Mogen David's website):#11;The Algazi family is one of the most distinguished families in the Sephardic Torah world. Rabbi Shlomo Algazi was born in Bursa, Turkey in approximately 1610. His first teachers were his father, Rabbi Avraham Algazi, and the poet and scholar, Rabbi Yosef Gansu. For many years, Rabbi Shlomo Algazi lived in Smyrna (Izmir), turkey, where he was the rabbi and headed a yeshiva. Many distinguished sages were among his students in Smyrna, including Rabbi Aharon Lapapa, Rabbi Chaim Algazi (later rabbi of Rhodes), and Rabbi David Conforte. When the false messiah Shabbtai Zvi, a native of Smyrna, began his ill-fated adventure in the spring of 1665, Rabbi Shlomo and his son-in-law were among the first to oppose him. However, the false messia's following was so strong in Smyrna that Rabbi Shlomo Algazi was forced to flee for his life. After Shabbtai Zvi converted to Islam a year-and-a-half later, the community called on Rabbi Shlomo to return, but he refused, leaving the rabbinate to his son-in-law. In about 1670, Rabbi Shlomo settled in Yerushalayim (Jerusalem). Rabbi Shlomo Algazi's many distinguished descendants included his grandson, Rabbi Shlomo Algazi, Chief Rabbi of Cairo for 45 years; Rabbi Yisrael Yaakov Algazi, rabbi in Jerusalem; and Rabbi Yom Tov Algazi, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem, whose work on Tractate Bechorot is printed in the standard Vilna edition of the Talmud.

Defaite de dixhuit Cornetes de Cavalerie Espagnole, Par le Prince Thomas (La). Avec la prise de tout leur bagage, Or & Argent, & cent prisonniers.
      Sur l'imprimé à Paris en l'Isle du Palais Et à Orléans chez René Fremont 1642 Brochure petit in-8 (155 x 105 cm) de 8 pp. Occasionnel relatant la bataille de la campagne d'Italie lors de la guerre franco-espagnole en 1642 : « Le Prince Thomas ayant esté averti que les Espagnols avoient encor 18 compagnies de cavalerie : ascavoir huit de chevaux légers, & dix d'arquebusiers a cheval comandez par le comte Bille Lieutenant general de la cavalerie de l'Estat de Mila : Ce Prince sur cet avis, bien informé de la possibilité qu'il y avait d'enlever ce quartier là aux ennemis, envoya le 8 de ce mois ses ordres au sieur Maurice de Savoye… » Thomas de Savoie (1595-1656), prince de Carignan, commanda en 1635 les Espagnols contre la France. A la mort de son frère aîné Victor-Amédée Ier, il revendiqua la régence du duché de Savoie contre la veuve Christine de France soutenue par la France qui la confirma comme régente. Réconciliée avec celle-ci, il se rapprocha de la France, qui lui confia une armée en Italie (1642). Il fut nommé généralissime des armées de France et de Savoie en Italie, fit la guerre avec succès, et reçut de Mazarin, en récompense, la charge de grand maître de France, après la disgrâce de Condé. Inconnu de Palau et Bourgeois André (V, 3696). Ne figure pas au catalogue de la BNF.

Hondius, Hendrick I, "Die Epileptiker nach links gehend"
Kupferstich nach einer Zeichnung von Pieter Breughel, 1642. 21, 5 x 16,5 cm.
      . . Berühmte Darstellung, ausführl. beschrieben und abgebildet bei Charcot/Richer, Die Besessenen in der Kunst, 52 ff.; danach geht Breughels Zeichnung auf die berühmt-berüchtigte Veitstanz-Epidemie zurück, die im 14. und 15. Jahrhundert die Rheinprovinzen heimsuchte und noch im 16. Jahrhundert in den sogenannten Tanzprozessionen nachzuweisen ist. "Der Zufall wollte es nun, daß gerade ein Meister des Pinsels wie des Zeichenstifts, der große Pieter Breughel, Zeuge einer jener seltsamen Pilgerfahrten werden sollte, welche jedes Jahr nach Sankt Willibrod in Echternach bei Luxemburg führen. Ein solches wirklich einzigartiges, turbulentes Schauspiel mußte natürlich den 'Bauernbreughel' beziehungsweise den 'komischen Breughel', wie man ihn auch nannte, herausfordern. Und natürlich ist für uns die Zeichnung eines so kunstfertigen, gewissenhaften Meisters ein echter Glücksfall. Tatsächlich läßt sich nun in unserem Falle - wie aber auch übrigens in den eigentlichen Epidemien - recht leicht der entscheidende Einfluß von Hysterie und Hystero-Epilepsie nachweisen" (Charcot/Richer). - Ausgezeichneter Druck mit winzigem Rändchen um die Einfassungslinie. Im unteren weißen Rand geringfügig beschnitten. Die linke obere Ecke sorgsam ergänzt, geringfügige Erhaltungsmängel. - The New Hollstein 32.

The pamphlet is in very good condition with just a few marginal to the title page which extends to the top edge of subsewquent leaves but which does not affect the text. Printed four months after the King had raised his standard at Nottingham on August 22nd, an action seen to mark the start of the 1st Civil War and just a few months after the war's first major battle at Edgehill this pamphlet is interesting because it clearly shows that the war was not seen as a war with the King so much as a war for the King. At this point those engaged on the Parliament's side were far from abandoning ideas of monarchy, rather they wished to bring the monarchy back within what they saw as the laws of England and to free it from, in the words of this document, "the malevolent counsell of an ill-affected party of Malignants and Cavaleirs".

Volumes 1-4 were edited by Jacques Sirmond, S.J., published in 1642, and contain the works of Theodoret; volume 5 was edited by Jean Garnier, S.J., published in 1684, and contains supplements to the first 4 volumes, a biography of Theodoret and a dissertation De libris Theodoreti (both by Garnier), additional dialogues of Theodoret, a collation by Fulvius Ursinus (1529-1600) of citations used by Theodoret, several dissertations by Garnier: De fide Theodoreti, Critica de V. Synodo Generali, De Theodoreti & orientalium causa; and Eutherii Tyanorum Episcopi Sermones, the sermons of Bishop Eutherius of Tyana, from the first complete edition of the works of Marius Mercator, edited by Garnier in 1673. These Sermons, says Garnier, had been falsely attributed to Theodoret by the Nestorians. Theodoret was an advocate of Nestorius, who was deposed and exiled at Ephesus in 431. He urged Nestorius not to reject the expression Theotokos and, to the end of his life, held that Nestorius never taught two persons in Christ. For this stance, Theodoret found much trouble with Cyril and the Alexandrines, though he appears to have been in good standing with Rome. At the Council of Chalcedon (451) he signed the anathema against Nestorius, though probably only in the sense of condemning the heresy imputed to him. Jacques Sirmond, S.J., (1559-1651) was one of the greatest scholars of the 17th century. He published several editions of Greek and Latin Christian writings. Jean Garnier, S.J., (1612-1681) was a noted patristic scholar and moral theologian. He is known particularly for his publication of the works of Marius Mercator, the 5th century ecclesiastical writer. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

TENGNAGEL, Mattheus Gansneb.
Tengnagel's most notorious work, with scatological dedication, Klucht van Frick in 't Veur-huys.
      no publisher, 'gedruckt naer de copye', 1642., No place, - 4to. 19th century blue paper wrappers. Woodcut illustration on title, woodcut initials. 28 pp. Rare, early edition of this very popular course satirical play, Tengnagel's most notorious work, published in three different editions in 1642 and republished in 1654, 1661, 1686 and 1731. According to NNBW the first edition was published in 1641, but of that edition there are no copies in STCN, listed by Oversteegen or elsewhere found recorded. Oversteegen lists 10 editions, with the one printed by Johannes Jacott in Amsterdam, 1642, as the first edition and our edition as the third.One verso of the title-page, the author has placed a nice 6-line verse:"Ai! oordeelt van mijn drollen niet/ voor dat het oog 'er rollen ziet;/ voor dat de wisse proef, met recht,/ den Kock mag schelden voor een knecht,/ en heeft hy dan te laf gebrout,/ zoo mengt het oordeel nog met zout."This is followed by two pages comprising a very nice scatological dedication to the unidentified 'A.H.' ("Kluchtige, ja dat ik dorst ik sey drollige Slut"). In this dedication, he explains that the words 'drolligh' and 'kluchtig' have the same meaning (humorous), but he follows by using the literal sense of the word drollen (turds): "Want je siet ick koom hier aentorssen met een heele turfmant opgestapelt vol van mijn drooge drollen, om deselve aen u, die inderdaet mee drollig zijt, en die mijn drollen buyten twijffel smaek zult vinden, met een goetgunstige genegentheyd toe te duwen. Haddenze nat geweest, ik zouze in een balie gebragt hebben, daer kunnenze niet licht deur druypen. (.)."The play itself (featuring 15 players) goes as follows. Frik's mother Dieuwertje visits Grietje van Buren's sewing-school with cloth that has to be sewn for Frik's marriage. This results in a slanging-match, because a few weeks before, Grietje gave birth to a child of which Frik is the father! The debauchee Frik is chased out of the house by his mother. The house is then besieged by three heavily armed women: Grietje, Saartje (whom Frik has also promised to marry) an a neighbour, causing a tumultuous scuffle in front of the house. Frik, taking pride in his noble conduct, is summoned before the "Comissarissen in d'ouwe Kerk" by the sexton.Little is known about the author Matheus Gansneb Tengnagel (1613-ca. 1652). As early as 1635 he was put under guardianship because of his flightyness. His writings are a reflection of his life: he uses course and vulgar language and is uncompromising and imodest towards other people. His works, sometimes deservingly following Constantijn Huygens, can be easily read and are of importance for the knowledge of Amsterdam citizens of the time. Good copy. Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel, I, p. 329; Oversteegen, Mattheus Gansneb Tengnagel. Alle werken (1969), A VI, 3; J.A. Worp, Geschiedenis van het drama en van het tooneel in Nederland, I, p. 445; NNBW II, p.1418f.

("Kluchtige, ja dat ik dorst ik sey drollige Slut"). In this dedication, he explains that the words 'drolligh' and 'kluchtig' have the same meaning (humorous), but he follows by using the literal sense of the word drollen (turds): "Want je siet ick koom hier aentorssen met een heele turfmant opgestapelt vol van mijn drooge drollen, om deselve aen u, die inderdaet mee drollig zijt, en die mijn drollen buyten twijffel smaek zult vinden, met een goetgunstige genegentheyd toe te duwen. Haddenze nat geweest, ik zouze in een balie gebragt hebben, daer kunnenze niet licht deur druypen. (...)."The play itself (featuring 15 players) goes as follows. Frik's mother Dieuwertje visits Grietje van Buren's sewing-school with cloth that has to be sewn for Frik's marriage. This results in a slanging-match, because a few weeks before, Grietje gave birth to a child of which Frik is the father! The debauchee Frik is chased out of the house by his mother. The house is then besieged by three heavily armed women: Grietje, Saartje (whom Frik has also promised to marry) an a neighbour, causing a tumultuous scuffle in front of the house. Frik, taking pride in his noble conduct, is summoned before the "Comissarissen in d'ouwe Kerk" by the sexton.Little is known about the author Matheus Gansneb Tengnagel (1613-ca. 1652). As early as 1635 he was put under guardianship because of his flightyness. His writings are a reflection of his life: he uses course and vulgar language and is uncompromising and imodest towards other people. His works, sometimes deservingly following Constantijn Huygens, can be easily read and are of importance for the knowledge of Amsterdam citizens of the time. Good copy. Van Aken, Cat. Ned. Toneel, I, p. 329; Oversteegen, Mattheus Gansneb Tengnagel. Alle werken (1969), A VI, 3; J.A. Worp, Geschiedenis van het drama en van het tooneel in Nederland, I, p. 445; NNBW II, p.1418f.

ALDROVANDI ULISSE.
Monstrorum historia cum paralipomenis historiae omnium animalium.
      Tebaldini, 1642., Bologna, - In folio (mm 350x240); pagg. (8), 748, (28); 159, (7). Bellissimo frontespizio figurato interamente inciso in rame. Centinaia di illustrazioni silografiche di grande formato. Piena pelle ottocentesca con cornice a filetti a secco ai piatti, dorso a sei nervi, con decorazioni a secco e tassello in marocchino rosso recante titolo e autore impresi in oro. Prima edizione postuma di quest'opera che, in seno a una tradizione letteraria che va dal medioevo al tardo Rinascimento, presenta fantasiose figure di mostri terrestri, marini, volatili e vegetali. Come nei libri di simile argomento di altri illustri studiosi più o meno contemporanei, quali Licostene, Gessner e Liceti, anche in questo trattato la ricerca scientifica di fenomeni reali si fonde con l'immaginario e la fantasia popolare, dando luogo a un volume di rari fascino e bellezza.Ulisse Aldrovandi (Bologna 1522-ivi 1605) fu un naturalista, botanico ed entomologo italiano. Realizzò uno dei primi musei di storia naturale e, per le sue vaste conoscenze naturalistiche, s'impose come una delle maggiori figure di scienziati dell'epoca. Bell'esemplare, con leggero e circoscritto alone di umidità all'angolo inferiore esterno che percorre tutto il libro. Minima mancanza al margine inferiore delle prime tre carte. Qualche rarissimo arrossamento della carta. Il fascicolo E, contenente le pp. 49-60, è rilegato dopo il fascicolo F. Piccolo strappo al margine inferiore delle carte Mm2 e Kkk5. Minimo forellino al margine inferiore della carta Nnn3. Qualche leggera spellatura alla legatura.Wellcome I, 172/XII; Nissen ZBI, 74.

IRELAND]
An ordinance and declaration of the Lords and Commons to make stay of all such supplies as they shall seize upon by sea or land, going to assist the rebels in Ireland.
      - London; I. Wright October 21 1642. FIRST EDITION, 4 unnumbered ll. A4. Roman letter, t-p within typographical border, a bit shaved at foot, ornamental headpiece and woodcut initial. Light age browning, a good copy in old marbled boards, modern calf, spine gilt. First edition of an important parliamentary ordinance encouraging, authorizing and rewarding privateers for raiding Irish shipping, towns and coasts. In 1641 the Irish Catholics had rebelled against the English crown and their new Protestant landlords, with considerable success. They had just failed to seize Dublin but were masters of nearly the whole of the rest of the country. Parliament, desperate to cut off their supplies of arms, munitions and all kinds of stores, enacted the present ordinance giving private venturers powers unprecedented in home waters to raid and seize or spoil all sort of goods, money, vessels etc which either might be intended for the Irish rebels or anyone who had ever aided them and to sack and pillage at will in their possessions, the reward being all or almost all of the goods seized. The ordinance is interesting not just in Irish history but as evidence of the workings of the 'privateer' system which the state successfully employed for nearly three centuries. ESTC R19001. Wing E 1765. Thomason E123. Not in Goldsmiths. L1012

CLII lectures upon Psalm LI. Preached at Ashby-Delazouch in Leicester-Shire.
      Pr. by J. Raworth for Edward Brewster, London 1642 - Extensive Puritan exegesis on the most famous of the seven Penitential Psalms. Originally published posthumously in 1635 and here in its second edition, the text is decorated with woodcut head- and tailpieces and decorated capitals.

An early owner practiced handwriting in this volume: Several pages bear sample letters, and the final (blank) page offers additional notations (largely, a list of Colling family names) and a doodle. Folio (28.3 cm, 11.25"). [36], 815, [1] pp. (pagination skips 176-77. ESTC R20661; Wing (rev. ed.) H1978 On Hildersam, see: Dictionary of National Biography, IX, 833-35.

An Impartial Collection of the Great Affairs of State, From the Beginning of the Scotch Rebellion in the Year 1639. To the Murther of King Charles I. Wherein The first Occasions, and the whole Series of the late Troubles in England, Scotland, & Ireland, are faithfully Represented. Vol. I (II)
      London : Printed for S. Mearne, T. Dring, B. Tooke, T. Sawbridge, and C. Mearne. 1682-83 Folio, 2 vols, v.1. engr. front., [8], lxxix, [1], 817, [17] pp : v.2. engr. front., [8], xii pp, engr. port., 920, [22] pp, early inscription "Jos. Greedy his Book" on first leaf, later bookplate of "Grant of Litchborough" on pastedown of v.1., cont. calf, lacking labels on spines, somewhat worn but joints sound. An extensive and important chronicle of the beginning of the Civil War, regretably never continued past the beginning of 1642. Nalson, a royalist, set out to produce an antidote to Rushworth's Collections which he saw as blackening the memory of Charles I. Consequently he acquired the patronage of Charles II and was allowed free access to the various repositories of state papers. He seems to have taken many of these documents away with him and after his death a very valuable collection of papers was disposed of by his family. Some portions are now in the Bodleian and the British Library.

Avec l’interpretation des langues dudit Guy; (c’est dire, L’explication de ses termes plus obscurs) . En cette derniere Edition, on a corrigé plusieurs fautes & manquements . Lyon, Simon Rigaud, 1642. (8)ff + 354pp + (7)ff. First title in red & black, printer’s devices on both titles with woodcut medallion portraits of Joubert on versos and at the end of the Annotations. With 59 woodcuts of surgical instruments on pp 310-355. Contemporary vellum; worn. Revised and corrected edition of the French text of Chauliac’s Chirurgia Magna with extensive commentaries by Laurent Joubert (1529-83), Chancellor of the Medical Faculty at Montpellier, then the most famous medical university worldwide. The French translation is by his son, Isaac Joubert. Guy de Chauliac (1298-1368) studied medicine at Montpellier, Toulouse, Paris, and Bologna. He is considered the first French surgeon and the founder of modern surgery. Chauliac was the first to distinguish between different types of hernias and to offer radical cures for them. His work, written about 1363, comprises his study of fractures, and an extensive section on maladies of the mouth and dental care, here found on pp458-465. The woodcut illustrations of surgical instruments used for this edition are mostly adapted from Paré’s work. Some light marginal waterstaining, but a sound copy with occasional traces of usage.

Censorinus Grammaticus
De Die Natali
      Leiden:: Johann Maire,, 1642.. Contemp. limp vellum, old library stamps on t.p., bookplate of " Le Bibliophobe Bechtel. 8vo.. One folding diagram, 8 text cuts. Censorinus (3rd c. A.D.), Roman grammarian and author of this work on Natal days. "The first part deals with human life, particularly its origins, the second with time and its divisions." OCD.#11;"...De die natali, which is extant, is dedicated as a birhday present to a little-known patron, Quintus Caerellius; according to Censorinus' own statements,i it was written in 238. The content of this comprehensive work can be divided into three parts... The first part, which is based on the Roman savant Varro, deals chiefly with human procreation and pregnancy, with excursuses on the influence of the stars and on music. In the second part, which is based on a lost work by Varro, Censorinus treats the different divisions of time (age, year, month, day, etc.). As in the first part, he mentions the doctrines of Greek philosophers. Not all of the De die natali has survived; the manuscript of the conclusion has been lost, as are its author and title. This work, now entitled Fragmentum Censorini, is a more important for the history of science...It contains a series of short tractates from an encyclopedic work on astronomy, geometry, music, and metrics. The chapter on geometry, which deals with the definitions, postulates, and axioms of book I of Euclid's Elements, differs greatly from the other known translations of Euclid. The chapters on metrics are very detailed. This part contains the oldest known information on Roman metrics and may be based on a work by Varro. Thus De die natali and Fragmentum Censorini enrich our view of Greek and Roman science..." DNB STCN 164208. Caillet 2135. Gardiner, Astrologica, 734. Schweiger I,101. Houzeau-Lancaster I,1046.

      [London, 1642]. First edition, small 4to, pp. [8]; title-page woodcut; bound by Mackenzie in full olive morocco decorated in gilt, spine elaborately gilt, inner dentelles, marbled endpapers; joints rubbed, else very good. John Taylor, called "The Water Poet," was a waterman, collector of the wine fees for the Lieutenant of the Tower, and keeper of a public house at Oxford and Westminster. He wrote a vast number of pamphlets numbering some 138 on a variety of subjects which were first collected in 1630. Taylor was known for his eccentric exploits, one of which was sailing on the Thames in a boat made of brown paper. In this work the title-page contains an interesting woodcut which is from the block used for Taylor's "A Reply as true as Steele" (1641), reproduced in the catalogue of the Clawson Sale 1926. In this version the devil's horns were, however, removed from the block, so as to show him transformed into a Roundhead.

BROWNE, John
A worthie speech spoken in the Honourable House of Commons Ianuarie the XVII. MDCXLI. By Mr. John Browne Esquire and Knight of the shire for the county of Dorset. Wherein, he explains and layes open to the said House, the manifold eminent dangers which are like to fall upon the county, by reason of Digbies escape, and assistance which is to be feared will joyn with him in his intentions, by reason divers and the most part of Sherborn, Evill, Brunswick, and other towns of which he is Lord over, for the most part consists of Papists, Recusants and other of his confederates. With the relation ...
      London. Printed for H. Homer. 1642 4to., (7) + 1pp. (verso of last leaf blank), title-page a littledustmarked, a good wide-margined copy with the exception of the second leaf which is a little cropped at head with partial loss of a few letters on verso, preserved in later plain wrappers with printed label on upper cover. First edition: rare. Wing B.5120. Thomason E 200(a). ESTC & OCLC together locate copies at 6 libraries in Brit. Isles + 8 elsewhere (i.e. all in US). Although this purports to be a speech actually delivered in the Commons by the Dorset M.P. John Browne (1580-1659), an annotation in the Thomason copy suggests that it was 'not spoken in ye House'. It is, in any event, a strongly worded warning to Parliament, little more than eight months before the commencement of the Civil War and barely two weeks after the attempted arrest of the five Members, that Dorset and particularly those elements in the Digby camp, was a potential powder keg, fully armed and ready to blow. Browne gives a particularly gloomy picture. Dorset was 'never in so much danger as now, never so dejected, nor ever so oppressed as at this present time'. He refers to the 'treacherous confederacy betwixt the Lord Digby and Lunsford' and warns that Digby was particularly dangerous because of 'the greatnesse of his authoritie with us, his larg revenues and multiplicity of tenants, who are for the most part Recusants, and impetuous resisters of the Protestant religion: and not only so, but also by their multiplicity of armor, muskets, and other ammunition every particular man exceeding, having greater and larger store, than any neighboring Protestant thereunto adjoyning, their being within ten miles distance of the said Lord Digbies house, at Sherborn, Evill, Brunswicke, Bedminster, and other villages within the compendium of his Lordships demeans, above seventy housholds of Roman Catholicks, weil provided to make resistance against any that shall oppose them ......'. Browne later concludes by suggesting that Digby's Dorset set should be 'disarmed of their store of pernicious provision' and 'those which are suspicious persons may have their houses searched, for fear of conspiracie'.

Montagu, Richard
The acts and monuments of the church before Christ incarnate.
      Miles Flesher & Robert Young, London 1642 - First edition: Doctrinal discussion by Richard Montagu (or Mountague), Bishop of Norwich. A controversial theologian, Montagu sought to moderate between the extremes of Catholicism and Calvinism, with his stated goal being to support the Anglican Church by standing "in the gapp against Puritanisme and Popery" (Correspondence of John Cosin, 1.21). Allibone, however, joins many of the bishop's contemporaries in feeling that "There is no doubt as to the place where Bishop Montagu desired to go and to carry with him the king and the Church of England, - to the bosom of the Church of Rome." In the present work Montagu examines Jewish doctrine and practices before the birth of Jesus, and their implications for Christianity; in doing so he argues strongly against Casaubon, Scaliger, and other Protestant scholars, while defending the Catholic Baronius and his Annales Ecclesiastici. The dedication, written in Latin and Greek, is addressed to Jesus Christ. Folio (27.7 cm, 10.9"). [4], 307, [1 (blank)], 313-552 pp. Wing (rev. ed.) M2469; ESTC R3327; Allibone 1344.

The Declaration of the Knights, Gentry, and Trained Bands of the Couuty of Kent . Wherein they declare their Resolution to march against the Kings Army . and rescue his Majesty out of the Cavaleers hands. Likewise the answer of the House of Parliament
      For J. Barks December 22, 1642, [London] - Pamphlet measuring 18cm by 14cm, title page with woodcut border, verso of title page blank, the Declaration and Parliament's reply each have wood engraved headpiece and run to 3 pages each. The pamphlet is in very good condition with just a few marginal to the title page which extends to the top edge of subsewquent leaves but which does not affect the text. Printed four months after the King had raised his standard at Nottingham on August 22nd, an action seen to mark the start of the 1st Civil War and just a few months after the war's first major battle at Edgehill this pamphlet is interesting because it clearly shows that the war was not seen as a war with the King so much as a war for the King. At this point those engaged on the Parliament's side were far from abandoning ideas of monarchy, rather they wished to bring the monarchy back within what they saw as the laws of England and to free it from, in the words of this document, "the malevolent counsell of an ill-affected party of Malignants and Cavaleirs".

BEKA, J. de, W. HEDA,
De episcopis Ultraiectinis. Recogniti et notis historicis illustrati ab Arn. Buchelio. Accedunt Lamb. HORTENSII secessionum Ultraiectinarum libri, et Siffridi PETRI Appendix ad historiam Ultrajectinam). 3 in 1 Bd.

Pgtbd der Zeit (berieben, Rücken mit Einriss und kleiner Fehlstelle, etwas braunfleckig, Teil 1 ans Ende verbunden und ohne den gestochenen Haupttitel, Paginierung in Teil 1 springt nach S. 167). (IBF0052) Sammelausgabe der drei wichtigsten Schriften zur Geschichte des Bistums Utrecht. De Beka war der bedeutendste Geschichtsschreiber Utrechts im 14. Jahrh. Seine Darstellung reicht bis zum Jahr 1346, die Fortsetzung des Suffridus Petri bis 1393. Der 'Historia episcoporum Ultraiectensium' des Willem Hedas (gest. 1525) kommt heute Quellenwert zu durch die Anführung sehr alter Urkunden, die seither verloren gegangen sind (ADB 11, 219). Hortensius (gest. 1574) schildert die nachfolgenden Wirren, in deren Verlauf Utrecht zwar zum Erzbistum erhoben wurde, aber zugleich seinen Charakter als weltliche Herrschaft verlor.
