ALEAUME, Jacques.
La Perspective speculative et pratique. Ou sont demonstrez les fondemens de cet Art, & de tout ce qui en a esté enseigné jusqu'à present. Ensemble la maniere universelle de la pratiquer … Mise au jour par Estienne Migon.
|
Paris, Melchior Tavernier, Francois Langlois, 1643. Large paper copy, 4to (262 x 195 mm), pp. vi, 155, [5] privilege; with 39 engraved illustratons, fine engraved headpiece showing artists at work and an engraved initital; paper fault to lower blank corner of E1 and marginal tear to F1 - no loss; contemporary full mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments, gilt-lettered spine label; expert repair to head and tail of spine and upper joint; small cipher L in ink to title page; a fine, crisp and very wide-margined copy, printed on heavy paper. First edition, large paper copy, of Aleaume's important treatise on perspective and projective geometry, of great importance for contemporary graphic artists and architects alike, as it provided them with a new way of constructing space and seeing objects through the picture plane. 'His treatise on perspective was his major contribution to the field of architectural theory, as a practical and theoretical presentation of the subject. Aleaume states in the introduction that he intends to cover both the theory and practice of the science of perspective, and he divides the contents accordingly, presenting eight 'propositions' for determining the perspective field, including the choice of horizon line, sight line, perspective points, and perspective surface. These are followed by nine 'problems' related to the construction of simple perspectives from plans… The Perspective is representative of the scientific, pragmatic spirit of inquiry that developed during the first half of the seventeenth century; the most prestigious example is Descartes' Discours de la methode, published in 1635, eight years after Aleaume's book was written. Aleaume's work is advanced enough to emphasize the role of perspective as a technical science associated with geometry rather than as a creative art, and to replace both the complex abstract sixteenth-century 'games' of German perspective authors and the complex anamorphic studies of Daniele Barbaro …' (Mark J. Millard Architectural Collection. French Books, p. 6). Aleaume's work was published posthumously to diffuse the French perspective war, which had started when Desargues accused Dubreuil of plagiarism after the latter had published his Perspective pratique in 1642. The publishers of Dubreuil responded that he had drawn his 'universal method' from a work by Vaulezard of 1631 and from the manuscript of Aleaume's book, written around 1627. To support this, Dubreuil's publishers, Tavernier and Langlois brought out Aleaume's book, edited by Estienne Migon, claiming that it had been in circulation in manuscript since 1628 when a privilege had been granted. Jacques Aleaume (1562 - 1627), a pupil of Viete, was a mathematician, instrument maker, and Ingenieur du Roi under Louis XIV. Cicognara 804; see Martin Kemp, The Science of Art, 1990, pp. 119 - 130.

Newman, Samuel
A Large and Complete Concordance to the Bible in English
|
Publisher: for Thomas Downes and James Young 1643 According to the last Translation. First collected by Clement Cotton, and now much enlarged and amended for the good both of Schollers and others: far exceeding the most perfect that ever was extant in our Language, both in ground-work and building, by Samuel Newman, a poor labourer in the Lords vineyard. Woodcut device on the title. With a leaf inserted before the title with an engraved floral border by N. de Mathonière and the title and ownership calligraphically inscribed by Richard Hoare. Folio. [359 x 240 x 83 mm]. [1376]pp. Bound c.1650 for John Evelyn in mottled calf, the covers tooled in gilt with a triple fillet border and a triple fillet panel with Evelyn's "IE" monogram within palm and laurel branches at the outer corners, and at the centre his large oval arms block with motto and enclosed by laurel and olive branches. The spine divided into seven panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second, the others with the "IE" monogram within palm and laurel branches and scroll corners, the edges of the boards tooled with a gilt roll, comb-marbled pastedowns, gilt edges. (Joints and headcaps skillfully repaired, rubbed or worn in patches, a few dark marks on the fore-edge). Wing N.929. Cotton's The Christian Concordance was first published in 1622 and was republished as A Concordance, A Complete Concordance and A Large Concordance. This is the first edition of Newman's version, being only the third Concordance to be published in English and greatly superior to its predecessors. Samuel Newman (1602-1663) was born at Banbury and graduated from Trintiy College, Oxford. He was prosecuted from non-conformity and emigrated to Massachusetts Bay Colony in c.1636. At the time of publication he was Pastor of the church at Weymouth, MA. There are a couple of small ink stains at the fore-edge and the binding has been neatly repaired. The volume was originally bound for John Evelyn (1620-1706), probably in Paris in about 1650. His book collecting was greatly influenced by Sir Richard Browne, who served as the representative at the Court of France for Charles I, and his exiled son, from 1641 until 1660. Evelyn married Browne's daughter, Mary, in 1647, and was in Paris from mid-summer 1649 until early 1652. The leaf before the title, with the engraved border by Mathonière, has a calligraphic inscription in the hand of Evelyn's amanuensis, Richard Hoare, which reads:"A Concordance of the Holy Bible. E Libris JEvelynis Emptus Lond. 1650 Meliora retinete". This indicates that the book was bought in London in 1650, and Hoare may then have arranged for it to be bound. The "IE" monogram tool and the large arms block were cut for Evelyn in 1640 by Thomas Simon, later chief engraver to both Cromwell and Charles II (see, Mirjam Foot, "John Evelyn's Bookbindings", in John Evelyn and his Milieu, pp.61-70). Evelyn himself added his pressmark "A18", changed to "A19", at the foot of the title and the ownership leaf. There is also a later Wotton House shelf-mark "K.7.16" on the front endleaf and the Evelyn family label. The volume was lot 418 in the first part of the Evelyn library sale, Christie's, 23/6/1977 (the ownership leaf was illustrated as plate 34). It made £450, the purchaser being named as "Kenwood", though he turns out to have been Major W.A. Spowers, the director of the book department at Christies. He took it into his own collection, from which it has just emerged.

CARDANO, Girolamo.
De Propria Vita Liber Ex Bibliotheca Naudaei. Paris, Jacob.
|
Paris, Villery, 1643. 8vo, pp. [96], 374; title vignette and decorative initials; some signatures lightly browned and foxed, due to paper stock, insignificant damp-staining to fore-margin of last few signatures, not affecting any text; contemporary full vellum, spine lettered in manuscript. First edition of one of the most famous autobiographies of all time, Cardano's frank self-portrait. One of the most remarkable men of the Renaissance, Cardano was nt only a major scientist, outstanding mathematician and physicist, but also a great gambler and astologer. Condemned by the Inquisition to house arrest in his old age, Cardano wrote The Book of My Life, an unvarnished and often outrageous account of his character and conduct. Whether discussing his sex life or his diet, the plots of academic rivals or meetings with supernatural beings, or his deep sorrow when his beloved son was executed for murder, Cardano displays the same unbounded curiosity that made him a scientific pioneer. At once picaresque adventure and campus comedy, curriculum vitae, and last will, The Book of My Life is an extraordinary Renaissance self-portrait-a book to set beside Montaigne's Essays and Benvenuto Cellini's Autobiography. His autobiography, De Propria Vita, which Cardano wrote in Rome shortly before his death, is the book which keeps his name alive for us both as a writer and as a personality . . . Cardano wrote not just because he was a scientist who had to communicate the results of his research, or a polygraph bent on contributing to a universal encyclopaedia, or a compulsive scribbler obsessed with filling page after page, but also because he was a genuine writer, who tried to capture with words something that appeared to elude them. - Italo Calvino, Why Read the Classics? The book was published many years after Cardano's death by Gabriel Naudé who added an extensive introduction to it, including much bibliographical data.

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. With fine engraved frontispiece showing the allegorical figure of trigonometry opening the doors to all sort of trades and professions involving mathematics, and 28 geometrical figures on folding engraved plate. (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.

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.

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").

Coloniae Agrippinae [i.e. Cologne], 1643. Small 4to, pp. [28], 797, [39]; engraved title-p., 29 engraved plates, numerous interesting woodcut illustrations in the text; a number of leaves with early ink marginalia; contemporary, if not original drab paste-paper boards; worn and soiled, even uniform toning of the text, occasional mild dampstains; a good, sound copy. 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."

NEWMAN, Samuel
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). Wing N929. Armorial bookplate of Sir Charles Grave Hudson, High Sheriff of Leicestershire and director of the South Sea Company. Scattered light marginal dampstaining. A near-fine volume.

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

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?

Mexico & Tulancingo: 1643-1753. Folio. 75 ff.

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.

La prima parte era: "Informatione per modo di discorso di Ambrosio Oppizzone patricio pauese a Gio. Angelo Oppizzone suo figliuolo, in materia delle egualanze terrere, prouinciali, & generali, che delli alloggiamenti de soldati, & spese di essi si fanno nello stato di Milano". Lamenta i carichi fiscali: "se non usa il Magistrato la giustizia distributiva, i ricchi a poco numero ridotti alla fine ò porranno in servitù gli altri, ò questi disperati si solleveranno contro i ricchi". Importante per le notizie sui MILITARI (fanteria ital. tedesca, spagnola ecc., Cavalleria, Dragoni, ARTIGLIERIA e SCUOLA di ARTIGLIERIA, caserme, utensili.), fittavoli, massari, famigli, paghe, salari ecc.

Rarissimo e fondamentale per ; la prima parte, che non abbiamo, è censita da ICCU in 6 bibl.; questa 2ª parte (ma senza l'importante doppio foglio sciolto, delle "Regole", che noi invece abbiamo) solo alla Cameriniana di Piazzola sul Brenta.
