Lucanus, Marcus Annaeus (Lucani, M. Annaei) Lucan
Pharsalia, Sive De Bello Civili Caesaris et Pompeii
      Joannem Blaeuw, Amsterodami (Amsterdam) 1643 - [10], 11-330, [6], full-vellum, title, author and date in manuscript to spine. Lettering to spine faded, vellum a little grubby, damage to vellum at foot of front board, tape repairs to vellum on the inside of the front cover. Text is slightly browned throughout, but generally fairly clean. Engraved title page, with notes by Grotius and Thomas Farnaby. "Farnaby, Thomas (1574/5-1647), schoolteacher and grammarian . According to J. T. Cliffe, he was ‘[p]erhaps the most celebrated private schoolmaster in England’ . The success of his establishment allowed Farnaby to devote himself to a long-held obsession: the systemization of the grammatical principles of classical Latin and Greek in print. Commencing with the satires of Juvenal and Persius (1612), he annotated many of the classical authors Seneca, Martial, Lucan, Ovid, Virgil, and Terence in a manner intended to render their works intelligible to schoolboys. From 1625, with the publication of his Index rhetoricus (incorporating the rules of his Figuræ, tropi et schemata of 1616), he established a European reputation in the rhetorical tradition, and numerous foreign editions appeared" (Oxford DNB) [Attributes: Hard Cover]

      Bologna, Haeredis Victorij Benatij, 1643.. 4to. Contemporary vellum.

(16), 72 pp. and (4), 44, (4) lvs. of tables.. First edition of one of the celebrated mathematical text books of Bonaventura Cavaliero (1598-1647), a pupil of Galileo and professor in mathematics at Bologna. He discovered the method of indivisibles, the first step in infinitesimal analysing, which revolutionized science after Newton and Leibnitz almost simultaneously discovered infinitesimal calculus. Cavalieri was also the first to introduce logarithms in Italy, and noteworthy developments in trigonometry and astronomy as well. The present work teaches trigonometry, and includes excellent logarithmic-trigonometric tables, which according to Riccardi greatly assisted the work of the famous astronomer Domenico Cassini. Of interest also is the frontispiece with a beautiful allegory on the great importance of mathematical science. Good copy of a rare work.- (Worm-holes in inside of binding). Riccardi I, 328; Honeyman 646, with reproduction of the frontispiece.

Manzini
Il Dragone di Macdeonia
      Manzini, Luigi. Il Dragone di Macdeonia. Estinto sotto il Gouerno di Assuero Araserse, il Grande, Rè de' Persi, e di'Medi. Istoria E Osservazioni di Lvigi Manzini. Al Serenissimo Ferdinando II Gran Dvca di Toscana. In Bologna: Gio. Battista Ferroni, 1643. Quarto. xii, 214 p. Engraved titlepage. (14) 214, (2). Contemporary stiff boards (rubbed). Dampstains to the gutter margin of the prelims, including the engraved titlepage (not very noticeable except on the half-title). Luigi Manzini (1604-1657, Bologna) was the younger brother of the better-known writer Giovanni Battista Manzini, (1599-1664.) Luigi left the priesthood before the age of 40 and devoted himself to writing of religious biographies, as well as literature, including verse for a festival book Applavsi festivi fatti in Roma per l'elezzione di Ferdinando III (1637) and a play Gli Amici eroi (1628). Manzini was particularly interested in the history of the Queen Ester legend and wrote Le tvrbolenze d'Israele, 1633, and this romance Il Dragone di Macdeonia, "un tema pij spostato nell'area classical." According to Ezio Raimondi, Il Dragone di Macdeonia, an example of baroque literature from the Bologna area, based on French as well as classical models, has passages of color and power, especially in the personality of Ester. The splendid frontispiece is by Giovanni Battista Coriolano, an Italian engraver (1590 – 1649). It pictures a slain dragon at an altar with the Medici arms. It refers to the historical defeat of the Persians by the Greeks, under Xerxes, at the naval Battle of Salamis, in 480 B.C, and at the Battle of Platea in 479. References: Raimondi, Ezio.

WEBB, M.
THE MALIGNANTS CONVENTICLE: or, a learned speech spoken by M. VVeb, a citizen to the rest of his Society, which did consist of Citizen[s], Malignants, Papists, Priests, Apprentices, Wenches. At their common tavern meeting-house in Lincolnes Inne-fields. In which there are many things very necessary to be observed, and of so great concernment, that if you will not believe, then taken what followes: for now all is out.
      London, printed for Anti-Dam-mee, in Tell-troth Lane, at the signe of the Holly-wand. 1643. Large 4to (219 x 156mm), pp. [ii], 6; with a large woodcut on the title page; tear or possibly a worm-track at foot of each leaf very slightly affecting the text (repaired long since), else a fine copy in 19th century limp vellum by Riviere. A finely-illustrated satire against popish cavaliers, with a splendid woodcut on the title page which looks as though it was designed for a book about a century earlier. The text supposes that the speaker Mr Webb is one of a secret group plotting insurrection the city of London: ‘You know the first designe was to frame a cunning Petition in pretence of peace, to gaine an opportunity of mutiny in the City, and this was carried very discreetly, we got many thousand of hands to it in a short time’. It is then supposed that the plotters ‘drew up a most damnable abusive Booke amongst our selves, to scandalize the Parliament, I know you have all seen it, it is called the Cities Complaint to the House of Commons, &c.’ - this is presumably A Complaint to the House of Commons (Wing C5620), issued from Oxford in early 1643 and reprinted in London, as a surreptitious publication, and in York. The references to the Complaint are apparently meant to imply someone who was familiar with the printing trade: ‘This Booke we got a foolish Printer that did not know what he did, to print, for it was such a most wicked, invective Pamphlet, that ... if he knew what it was, he would not have meddled with it’ (p. 3). It is not clear whether Mr Web or Webb is intended to be a real person, or just an amalgam of hateful gossip and rumour, but if he is supposed to represent a genuine figure, then it is quite possible that the intended victim is William Webb, an Oxford stationer and binder who printed many political pamphlets in the 1640s and seems to have died in 1652. Less likely, but still conceivable, he could be the architect John Webb (1611-72), pupil and heir of Inigo Jones, who was a notorious royalist. Provenance: Britwell Court, with initials ‘S C-M’ (Samuel Christie-Miller) and date of purchase 2 May 1876, as well as the characteristic Britwell shelfmark 41.C.24 on the endpaper; later with Pickering & Chatto, from whom bought in April 1951 by W.A. Potter. Wing W1204.

Burroughes, Jeremiah
An Exposition of the Prophesie of Hosea. Begun in Divers Lectures Vpon the First Three Chapters, at Michaels Cornhill, London
      R. Dawlman, 1643. Very Good First printing, 1643. Large octavo, original full calf, pp. (4), 750. Very good, possibly lacking a frontispiece portrait (a portrait plate is mentioned in the OCLC listing of this title). Some wear and rubbing to binding, joints still tight, 2.5 inch vertical split to center of spine leather, can easily be mended; spine darkened, some wear to endpapers, rear flyleaf missing; early ownership signatures, including: "Edm. Jones...1651" and "Thomas Francis his book 1764" Text clean and unmarked, albeit a little tanned and with minor occasional spottiness. Only a handful of copies in libraries worldwide. This is the first of four volumes on Hosea that was Burroughes' most ambitious work. Burroughes (1599-1646), wikipedia entry: Burroughs studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and was graduated M.A. in 1624, [1] but left the university because of non-conformity. He was assistant to Edmund Calamy at Bury St. Edmunds, and in 1631 became rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk. He was suspended for non-conformity in 1636 and soon afterward deprived, he went to Rotterdam (1637) and became "teacher" of the English church there. He returned to England in 1641 and served as preacher at Stepney and Cripplegate, London. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly and one of the few who opposed the Presbyterian majority. While one of the most distinguished of the English Independents, he was one of the most moderate, acting consistently in accordance with the motto on his study door (in Latin and Greek): "Opinionum varietas et opinantium unitas non sunt as? stata" ("Difference of belief and unity of believers are not inconsistent").

Merrill 4, citing the first edition of 1641: "Kircher's Magnes is filled with curiosities, both profound and frivolous. The work does not deal solely with what modern physicists call magnetism. Kircher discusses, for example, the magnetism of the earth and heavenly bodies; the tides; the attraction and repulsion in animals and plants; and the magnetic attraction of music and love. He also explains the practical application of magnetism in medicine, hydraulics, and even in the construction of scientific instruments and toys! The book contains the first use of the word! 'electro-magnetism' p. 640). Kircher's Magnes contains all that was known in his day on electricity and magnetism, forces that even today baffle scientists."

Large and Complete Concordance
      1643 1643 - NEWMAN, Samuel. A Large and Complete Concordance to the Bible in English . London: Printed for Thomas Downes and James Young, 1643. Folio (9 by 14 inches), modern full brown calf with contemporary brown calf laid down to front board. $2500. First edition of Newman's first concordance to the English Bible. "Owing to his persistent nonconformity," Oxfordshire cleric Samuel Newman "was subjected to prosecutions, to avoid which he removed from place to place. After his seventh removal he resolved on emigration to New England. He settled as minister at Dorchester, Massachusetts about the end of 1636; removed to Weymouth, Massachusetts in 1638; and in 1644 became the first minister of Rehoboth, Massachusetts," where he died in 1663 (DNB). In his famous Diary (entry dated January 20, 1668), Samuel Pepys relates the tradition that Newman foretold his death and preached his own funeral sermon, "and did at last bid the Angells do their office, and died." Newman also wrote a work "often called the 'Cambridge Concordance' [that] has been erroneously described as the first concordance to the English Bible; the first (1550) was by John Marbeck [and] Cotton's (1631) was the first concordance to the Authorized Version" (DNB).

LUCAN (Marcus Ann!us Lucanus)
PHARSALIA SIVE DE BELLO CIVILI C!SARIS ET POMPEII LIB. X
      Amsterdam J. Blaeu, 1643. Sm. 8vo. (5 1/16 x 3 1/8 inches), contemporary tan calf, double blind fillets with blind blocked corner fleurons; spine with four raised bands and a manuscript paper label; all edges stained red. On the front free endleaf is a woodcut ownership stamp of a ram in profile standing on a platform above the name Sheppard, encircled by a wreath of laurel leaves. Below this mark is the large woodcut number 23. The Thornton Hall Library, Buckinghamshire, belonging to the family of Sheppard (later Sheppard-Cotton, baronets) had a distinctive library mark. We note their copy of Lord Bacon's The Twoo Bookes...of the Proficience and Advancement of Learning [1605] sold at the Garden sale (lot 83) in which the mark appears above the number 20. It also appears in a copy of Erasmus!s Adagiorum [1666] above the number 21 (the latter copy is in our possession; alas, the Bacon is not).#11;#11;The engraved title credits the commentary of Hugo Grotius (1583-1645) and Thomas Farnaby. Lucan's Pharsalia, an epic about the civil war between C!sar and Pompey in 10 books, is the author's only surviving work; he was only 25 when he took his own life. Lucan was, like Brutus and Cassius before him, an aristocrat and a rebel; like them, he regretted the lost republic and hated the regime of the C!sars. He joined Piso's conspiracy against Nero and was denounced and, like Seneca, was ordered to commit suicide. Lucan was very popular during the Middle Ages, but his work has fallen to criticism owing to what has been called his exaggerated treatment of the war between C!sar and Pompey.#11;#11;A very nice copy of a somewhat scarce book; OCLC First Search lists seven copies.#11;#11; WITH A HANDSOME INK OWNERSHIP DEVICE

Andre, Valre.
Bibliotheca Belgica: De Belgis vita scriptisq. claris. Praemissa topographica Belgii totius sev Germaniae inferioris descriptione. Lovanii, typis I.
      - Zegers, 1643. Thick small 4to, [16], 110, [22], 900 pp. Old mottled calf rebacked, retaining original backstrip. Three old ownership inscriptions, title printed in red and black, some browning and soiling. Revised and enlarged edition of the earliest bio-bibliography of Flemish authors. Sometimes catalogued under 'Foppens', this exhaustive work was revised continually by Andre - at his death he left 2 folio volumes of additions and corrections (per Brunet). The text includes much on Erasmus. Unusually scarce; copy located in ABPC from 1975 to 2003 and no copy (of any edition) in the Hill, Kraus, or Tumarkin bibliography catalogues. Breslauer and Folter (44, 46, and 52) mention this edition (which was in the exhibition but not included in the catalogue) with the interesting note that page 593 records the first bibliography of bibliographies of which no copy is known to exist - thus perhaps being a ghost?

San Nicolas el Chico, Hacienda de.
Manuscript: "Titulos pertenecientes a la Hacienda de San Nicolas el Chico de la propriedad del Señor Gorgonio de la Concha. In Spanish, on paper.
      Mexico & Tulancingo: 1643-1753. Folio. 75 ff. The origins of the Hacienda de San Nicolas el Chico in the vicinity of Tulancingo, Mexico, date from the 1590s when the crown reclaimed land and grants of Indian labor and tribute that had fallen into disuse, unclaimed, or into dispute. In 1643 the crown offered for sale two caballerías of land and the rights to two accesses to water for that land - and Pedro del Castillo of Tulancingo successfully acquired the land and water rights for 200 pesos. The documents here are mostly originals with a few notarial certified copies of earlier writings, and they document the ownership and growth of a small-size hacienda over the period of approximately a hundred years. Written in a variety of hands. All documents in good to very good condition. With an early 20th century calligraphic "title-page," this with a tear and some tatters.

Burroughes, Jeremiah
An exposition of the prophesie of Hosea. Begun in divers lectures vpon the first three chapters, at Michaels Cornhill, London
      R. Dawlman, London 1643 - First printing, 1643. Large octavo, original full calf, pp. (4), 750. Very good, possibly lacking a frontispiece portrait (a portrait plate is mentioned in the OCLC listing of this title). Some wear and rubbing to binding, joints still tight, 2.5 inch vertical split to center of spine leather, can easily be mended; spine darkened, some wear to endpapers, rear flyleaf missing; early ownership signatures, including: "Edm. Jones.1651" and "Thomas Francis his book 1764" Text clean and unmarked, albeit a little tanned and with minor occasional spottiness. Only a handful of copies in libraries worldwide. This is the first of four volumes on Hosea that was Burroughes' most ambitious work. Burroughes (1599-1646), wikipedia entry: Burroughs studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge, and was graduated M.A. in 1624,[1] but left the university because of non-conformity. He was assistant to Edmund Calamy at Bury St. Edmunds, and in 1631 became rector of Tivetshall, Norfolk. He was suspended for non-conformity in 1636 and soon afterward deprived, he went to Rotterdam (1637) and became "teacher" of the English church there. He returned to England in 1641 and served as preacher at Stepney and Cripplegate, London. He was a member of the Westminster Assembly and one of the few who opposed the Presbyterian majority. While one of the most distinguished of the English Independents, he was one of the most moderate, acting consistently in accordance with the motto on his study door (in Latin and Greek): "Opinionum varietas et opinantium unitas non sunt as?stata" ("Difference of belief and unity of believers are not inconsistent").

WEBB, M.
THE MALIGNANTS CONVENTICLE: or, a learned speech spoken by M. VVeb, a citizen to the rest of his Society, which did consist of Citizen[s], Malignants, Papists, Priests, Apprentices, Wenches. At their common tavern meeting-house in Lincolnes Inne-fields. In which there are many things very necessary to be observed, and of so great concernment, that if you will not believe, then taken what followes: for now all is out.
      London, printed for Anti-Dam-mee, in Tell-troth Lane, at the signe of the Holly-wand. 1643 - Large 4to (219 x 156mm), pp. [ii], 6; with a large woodcut on the title page; tear or possibly a worm-track at foot of each leaf very slightly affecting the text (repaired long since), else a fine copy in 19th century limp vellum by Riviere. A finely-illustrated satire against popish cavaliers, with a splendid woodcut on the title page which looks as though it was designed for a book about a century earlier. The text supposes that the speaker Mr Webb is one of a secret group plotting insurrection the city of London: ?You know the first designe was to frame a cunning Petition in pretence of peace, to gaine an opportunity of mutiny in the City, and this was carried very discreetly, we got many thousand of hands to it in a short time?. It is then supposed that the plotters ?drew up a most damnable abusive Booke amongst our selves, to scandalize the Parliament, I know you have all seen it, it is called the Cities Complaint to the House of Commons, &c.? - this is presumably A Complaint to the House of Commons (Wing C5620), issued from Oxford in early 1643 and reprinted in London, as a surreptitious publication, and in York. The references to the Complaint are apparently meant to imply someone who was familiar with the printing trade: ?This Booke we got a foolish Printer that did not know what he did, to print, for it was such a most wicked, invective Pamphlet, that . if he knew what it was, he would not have meddled with it? (p. 3). It is not clear whether Mr Web or Webb is intended to be a real person, or just an amalgam of hateful gossip and rumour, but if he is supposed to represent a genuine figure, then it is quite possible that the intended victim is William Webb, an Oxford stationer and binder who printed many political pamphlets in the 1640s and seems to have died in 1652. Less likely, but still conceivable, he could be the architect John Webb (1611-72), pupil and heir of Inigo Jones, who was a notorious royalist. Provenance: Britwell Court, with initials ?S C-M? (Samuel Christie-Miller) and date of purchase 2 May 1876, as well as the characteristic Britwell shelfmark 41.C.24 on the endpaper; later with Pickering & Chatto, from whom bought in April 1951 by W.A. Potter. Wing W1204.
