BAUDOIN (J.);
Les Saintes Metamorphoses, ou les Changemens miraculeux de quelques grands Saints. Tirez de leurs Vies, par J. Baudoin.
|
En l'Imprimerie des nouveaux Caracthères de P. Moreau, A Paris 1644 - In-4 d'1 titre frontispice (16)-432 pp. (mal chiffrées 424, erreur de pagination au cahier Ggg) 12 planches hors-texte, veau brun, dos orné à nerfs, double filet doré sur les plats (reliure de l'époque). Menues retaurations anciennes. Ex-libris manuscrit sur le contreplat supérieur : ce present livre appartient mademoiselle foucault elle prie ceux ou celle qui le trouveront de luy rendre elle leur payera leur paine a la Ferte Gervais le 2 averil 1730. Impression exécutée avec les célèbres caractères imitant l'écriture de Pierre Moreau. Moreau, maître-écrivain et ancien clerc aux Finances, avait fait graver le premier caractère d'écriture. Il obtint un brevet d'Imprimeur ordinaire du Roi, mais il semble qu'il eut à subir des persécutions de la Communauté des libraires et imprimeurs, et un arrêt de 1648 lui fit défense d'exercer. Stanley Morison ne cite que 11 volumes sortis de ses presses entre 1643 et 1648, dont celui-ci. Ce volume contient probablement tous les corps de ces caractères. 12 portraits de saints attribués à l'auteur ou à Abraham Bosse, et un curieux frontispice daté 1643.

Mit Textholzschnittillustrationen. Sehr seltene Ausgabe der beiden Schreibbüchern, die das Ergebnis jahrzehntelanger Arbeit des Lübecker Schreibmeisters und Rechenmeisters sind. Die Schwierigkeiten bei der Herstellung und dem Vertrieb haben wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass der Verfasser an seinem Lebensende noch in Not geriet. Arnold Möller (1581-1655) möchte mit Vorlagen für einfache Schreibübungen den Anfängern im Schönschreiben und weit Fortgeschrittenen gleichermaßen zu Diensten sein. Er stellt verschiedene Schriften in "elferley" Sprachen vor. Die Texte der einzelnen Blätter sind einmal als Musterbriefe gedacht, zum anderen bestanden sie aus Weisheitsprüchen und Lebensregeln bedeutender Philosophen.

THE EIGHTEEN LOHAN RUBBINGS OF CHINESE BUDDHIST TEMPLES.
SUITE OF EIGHTEEN RUBBINGS OF CHINESE BUDDHIST LOHANS.
|
STUNNING RUBBINS OF THE FAMOUS BUDDHIST LOHANS China n.d. Green brocade silk cloth, accordion folded, tall tall format, 22 x 38.5 cm., illustrating in b.w. the eighte- en Lohan on 6 double-page plates, no text, a pristine, clean & bright copy, mounted Chinese style on hand-made paper.RARE A very lovely album, consisting of superb and very pristine rubbings of Lohans or Buddhist arhats. These saints have been around since the T'ang dynasty [618-905 A.D.]. These stone carvings were likely done in the late Ming period [1368-1644], of stone carvings. The work depicts each of the Eighteen Lohans ["pindola"] or "The old man [men] of the Mountain."], he is attended by an acolyte and a mountain demon. Pindola was also one of the four "Great Disciples" of the Buddha, left on earth to propagate Buddhism after the Buddha's death. All four were to remainin existance to spre- ad the Budhist gospel, and not to experience Nirvana, until Buddha returned to earth in the form of Maitreya. The second rubbing shows two monks seated together, and is of the 17th Louhan ["Pu Tai"] upper right, and the 18th Louhan ["Upasaka Dharmatala"] seated below and to the left. The concept of Louhans came originally to China via Tibet, and earlier dep- ictions include only 16. The 17th & 18th Louhans illustrated in this series of rubbings are later Chinese creations. This is probably a complete set of the Louhans at the time of the stone carving. The first 12 by name are: Ka-no-ka-Fa-tso; Pin-tu-lo-Po-lo-to-she; Su-p'in-t'e; Ka-no-ka-Po-li-tou-she; Po-t'e-lo; No-ku-lo; Fa-she-lo-fuh-to-lo; Ka-li-ka; Pan-t'o- kan; Shu-po-ka; Na-ka-si-na. Lo-hu-lo; Fa-na-p'o-ssu; Yin- kie;t'e; Chu-ch'a [t'a]-Pan-t'o-ka; & A-shih-to. Each sheet has been nicely mounted with ca. 4.5 cm. top and bottom margins, and ca. 5 cm. on the sides. The actual rubbing is 32.5 x 29 cm and is with usual black background with white characters and images, and is center-folded. The last page is blank. No colophon, not text whatsoever. A lovely work, full of charm and innocence. The art work is superbly carved in stone, then a rubbing was made using wet black Sumi-type ink which was then painted on the stone, while the paper was adheared to the wet sone. Then rubs on the back side with dry grass or other soft object. Not an easy task even under the best circumstances, but done with great skill, perfectly copying the stone tablets. By now, its easy to assume that these tablets have already perished or otherwise been disfi- gured or removed from its original site.

LA BIGNE, MARGUERIN
Maxima bibliotheca veterum patrum, et antiquorum scriptorum ecclesiasticorum. [28 volumes]
|
Anissonii - Folio. Newly rebound in black cloth with morocco labels on spines. Small library stamps on title-pages, a few spots of foxing, but overall in very good condition. A monumental work in patrology, La Bigne compiled the first extensive collection of ancient and early medieval ecclesiastical authors. Although Migne's early 19th century Patrologia Latina et Graeca was more vast, La Bigne's work is more carefully edited and more accurate. This edition of La Bigne's opus, the last printed, was completed under the Parisian doctor of theology, Philippe Despont, although a number of scholars since the time of La Bigne had contributed to it. This edition supercedes the two previous editions (1644 and 1654), which were entitled Magna Bibliotheca and which were comprised of only 17 volumes. This last edition includes more than 100 additional authors and numerous works not included in the two earlier editions. Complete in 27 volumes, plus the extensive index, volume 28, which was edited by the Augustinian scholar, Simeon a Sancta Cruce, and printed in 1707 in Genova by Antonius Scionicus.

Edition Originale très rare de cet ouvrage curieux qui consacre la première utilisation du mot 'anthologie' en français. L'auteur y examine diverses questions curieuses d'après les opinions des philosophes et littérateurs de l'Antiquité: "Des Mécènes", "Contre les astrologues judicielz", "Utilitez de la danse, et du mépris qu'en faisoient les Romains", "Comment le Diable cognoist le futur", "De l'?il et de la veuë", "De ceux qui jadis se tuoient eux mesmes", "Contre les gloutons, et du plaisir de la frugalité", "S'il faut philosopher à table, et que le vin est froid", "De l'impudicité, et passedroit des femmes d'Egypte", "Des ?ufs, et lesquels sont les meilleurs", "De l'utilité du sel", etc. L'auteur Pierre Breslay était originaire d'Angers et au début du volume se trouvent plusieurs pièces poétiques composées à sa louange par d'autres littérateurs. Au verso du titre figure par ailleurs un joli bois gravé représentant un "divin oyseau". "Ce recueil est curieux; il annonce un esprit nourri de la lecture des anciens" (Brunet). 2). Edition Originale très rare de ce recueil de discours composés par l'auteur pour trancher certains problèmes curieux ou difficiles à résoudre: "Quelle est la plus nécessaire à un Etat, et la plus noble, la Médecine ou la Jurisprudence", "De la Malice et Caprice des Femmes", "Quel est le plus noble de l'Homme ou de la Femme", "Sçavoir si les Français sont plus légers et inconstans que les autres nations", "Quel est le plus grand des vices", "Du vin, et s'il est nécessaire au Soldat", "Pourquoy l'homme "est plus encleins au vice qu'à la vertu", "Contre les Duels, et contre le poinct d'honneur", "De l'Astrologie judiciaire", "Sçavoir si le commerce ne déroge point à la Noblesse", "Du Tabac", etc. Ces courts textes où l'auteur avait cherché la "simplicité et pureté du langage", sont particulièrement savoureux et fourmillent de tournures et d'expressions d'origine populaire.

"Edition originale de la première version française complète d'après Ripa. En 1593, Cesare Ripa (1555-1622) fait paraître l'Iconologia, recueil - non illustré - d'allégories. Cette première édition italienne s'inscrivait dans la tradition des traités d'emblématique de la Renaissance (Alciat, Hieroglyphica d'Horapollo, Songe de Polihile, etc.). Mais l'ouvrage de Ripa se voulait aussi, au-delà de sa dette à l'égard de l'érudition philologique, un manuel pratique conçu à l'adresse des artistes et proposant le code d'un langage visuel allégorique fait d'attributs et de symboles exprimant vices, vertus, qualités, défauts, etc. Le succès fut immédiat : sept éditions du vivant de Ripa - la 3e étant la 1ère illustrée - et une large diffusion hors d'Italie. 613 figures gravées par Jacques de Bie. La version française est l'œuvre de Jean Baudoin (v. 1590-1650). Lecteur de la reine Marguerite de Navarre, un des premiers membres de l'Académie française, il joua un rôle important comme diffuseur de la culture humaniste à travers de nombreuses traductions. Son Iconologie ne constitue pas un simple démarquage du travail de Ripa, mais une véritable adaptation à laquelle il confère le parfum de sa propre sensibilité française. Certaines allégories élaborées par Ripa disparaissent ainsi et Baudoin en crée d'autres, son ouvrages comptant en tout 613 figures allégoriques, gravées sur cuivre par Jacques de Bie dans des médaillons. La première partie de l'Iconologie de Baudoin fut éditée chez Guillemot en 1636 et la seconde en 1643. Mais les deux volumes furent réunis et diffusés ensemble avec une nouvelle page de titre en 1644 ; les deux frontispices de cette édition portant la date de 1643. Rééditée sans interruption jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle, l'Iconologie fut une source essentielle pour les artistes des temps modernes ; son usage jugé abusif étant dénoncé par Roger de Piles, l'abbé Du Bos ou Diderot. ""L'intelligence de la peinture européenne des XVIIe et XVIIIe siècles est inséparable de ce livre"" (Chatelain). Bel exemplaire.

Plazzoni, Francesco
De Partibus Generationi Inservientibus...
|
. 184pp. 12mo, cont. calf (rubbed). Leyden: David Lopes de Haro, 1644. BOUND WITH: NYMMAN, Gregory. Dissertatio de Vita Foetus in Utero. 87pp. Leyden: David Lopes de Haro, 1644. First combined edition of 3 rare works on generation. Plazzoni's work described the organs of human generation, and is notable for its early reference to perineal tears and rectovaginal fistulae, as well as its account of the vulvovaginal ducts, of which Bartholin was apparently unaware in his classic treatment of them. The Nymann work marks the transition from theological to scientific embryology in the 17th century, and is continuously paginated with Adrian Spigel's Epistola de Incerto Tempore Partus (pp. 63-87), which in this copy is slightly wormed in margins. Spigel is best known as the author of the text of the finest anatomical atlas of the century, and for his first extensive account of malaria.

[London], sold by Thomas Jenner, 1644. - Tall 8vo (220 x 85 mm), with an engraved title and six double-page folding engraved maps (hand-coloured in outline); contemporary calf, rebacked and resewn; metal clasps. Usually known as the Quartermaster’s Map, this map – pocket-sized when folded –was based on Christopher Saxton’s large wall map of 1583. Etched for the most part by Wenceslaus Hollar, it was first published in 1644, during the English Civil War, by Thomas Jenner, a printseller with strong puritan and parliamentarian sympathies: Jenner’s production, especially after 1640, ‘had a strong political bias; and his earliest cartographic works were plainly designed for the use of the armies. The need for maps in military operations doubtless accounts . . . for his commissioning of Hollar to etch a copy of Saxton’s wall-map of England and Wales, the so-called Quartermaster’s Map (1644)’ (Skelton, County atlases of the British Isles p. 235).The Quatermaster’s Map proved useful and popular for many years after its first appearance during the Civil War. ‘The wartime value of such a volume is clear, but the artist certainly had a wider purpose than military in reducing his maps to a size that would be "Portable for every man’s pocket". Despite its hazards, travel in these uneasy mid-decades of the seventeenth century was considerable, as volumes of memoirs and letters such as those of Lady Fanshawe, John Evelyn, and Dorothy Osborne Temple show. Maps of the usual size were consigned to a library, but these could accompany the traveler and would, in an age before specific guidebooks or well-marked roads, be especially welcome’ (Van Eerde p. 31). Pepys refers to the Quatermaster’s Map in his Diary for 9 June 1667: "My Lord Barkeley wanting some maps, and Sir W. Coventry recommending the six maps of England that are bound up for the pocket, I did offer to present my Lord with them, which he accepted’ (quoted by Penington, p. xliv). It was re-issued on several occasions (with various alterations, such as the addition of roads), including by Jenner in 1671, by John Garrett in 1688 and by John Rocque in 1752.BM Maps V 437; Pennington 652–657; Shirley, Early printed maps of the British Isles 537; Van Eerde, Wenceslaus Hollar pp. 30–1; Wing H2447. The compactness of the format meant that much of the sea-surface was omitted, including the Isle of Man, part of the Lincolnshire coast at Mablethorpe, and Land’s End. Extensions showing these features were printed and are occasionally found attached to the relevant sheet, as, for example, Land’s End in the present copy.

The illustrations of these plants have been largely overlooked in botanical history, because of their incidental presence in a work which might not be expected to contain anything of the sort.

"Edition originale de la premiere version francaise complete d'apres Ripa.En 1593, Cesare Ripa (1555-1622) fait paraitre l'Iconologia, recueil - non illustre - d'allegories. Cette premiere edition italienne s'inscrivait dans la tradition des traites d'emblematique de la Renaissance (Alciat, Hieroglyphica d'Horapollo, Songe de Polihile, etc.). Mais l'ouvrage de Ripa se voulait aussi, au-dela de sa dette a l'egard de l'erudition philologique, un manuel pratique concu a l'adresse des artistes et proposant le code d'un langage visuel allegorique fait d'attributs et de symboles exprimant vices, vertus, qualites, defauts, etc. Le succes fut immediat : sept editions du vivant de Ripa - la 3e etant la 1ere illustree - et une large diffusion hors d'Italie. 613 figures gravees par Jacques de Bie. La version francaise est l'iuvre de Jean Baudoin (v. 1590-1650). Lecteur de la reine Marguerite de Navarre, un des premiers membres de l'Academie francaise, il joua un role important comme diffuseur de la culture humaniste a travers de nombreuses traductions. Son Iconologie ne constitue pas un simple demarquage du travail de Ripa, mais une veritable adaptation a laquelle il confere le parfum de sa propre sensibilite francaise. Certaines allegories elaborees par Ripa disparaissent ainsi et Baudoin en cree d'autres, son ouvrages comptant en tout 613 figures allegoriques, gravees sur cuivre par Jacques de Bie dans des medaillons. La premiere partie de l'Iconologie de Baudoin fut editee chez Guillemot en 1636 et la seconde en 1643. Mais les deux volumes furent reunis et diffuses ensemble avec une nouvelle page de titre en 1644 ; les deux frontispices de cette edition portant la date de 1643.Reeditee sans interruption jusqu'au XVIIIe siecle, l'Iconologie fut une source essentielle pour les artistes des temps modernes ; son usage juge abusif etant denonce par Roger de Piles, l'abbe Du Bos ou Diderot.

GOUVEIA, Francisco Velasco de.
Iusta acclamação do Serenissimo Rey de Portugal Dom João o IV. Tratado analytico dividido em tres partes
|
Lisbon, Na Officina de Lourenço de Anveres, A custa dos tres Estados do Reino, 1644. - Engraved allegorical frontisportrait. Title page in red and black. Woodcut initials, headpieces and tailpieces, some rather large and elegant. (12 ll.), 456 [i.e. 458; numbers 407–8 repeated on leaves Ll 6 and Mm1]. Pp. (pp. 391–[392, blank] bound before 389–390). The numbered pages in two columns. Folio, nineteenth–century speckled calf (very minor wear), spine gilt with raised bands in six compartments, black leather lettering piece, gilt letter, marbled endleaves, textblock edges rouged. Hole on 2N4 affecting several letters on each side. Three rectangular pieces (1 x 5.9 cm., 1.2 x 8 cm., and 1.3 x 5.4 cm.) cut from title page and repaired, apparently to remove old signatures; lower third of title page backed. Otherwise a very good to fine copy; overall a good copy. FIRST EDITION of this fundamental work on the restoration of Portuguese independence. The work was associated with the Jesuits, and was ordered suppressed by the Marques de Pombal after the expulsion of the Jesuit Order from Portugal. The engraving, signed by Cristiano Lobo, is of a Renaissance–style architectural frontispiece with broken pediment supported on each side by double Corinthian columns. In the center of the architecture is an oval cartouche with a three–quarter–length portrait of D. João IV (labeled within a frame "JOANNES IIII D.G. REX PORTVGALIÆ ET ALGARBIORVM ÆTATIS SVÆ XXXX 1644"). The ruler is shown standing in three–quarter view, wearing a suit of armor; his right hand rests on a table and clutches a baton; his helmet is placed on the same table. Directly below the portrait, in an imitation of bas–relief, is a scene of the Portuguese army facing that of Spain. Above the portrait, two putti recline on the broken pediment while holding the Portuguese royal arms topped by a royal crown and the Bragança dragon. At left and right of the portrait are the figures Mars and Minerva, who stand on pedestals bearing emblems: under Mars, one serpent bites the tail of another with the motto "Depositis novvs exvviis", while Minerva's pedestal depicts a chain with the motto "Arcerant vincula palmas". Velasco de Gouveia (d. 1659), a native of Lisbon and professor of canon law at Coimbra, was imprisoned by the Inquisition in 1636 on charges of judaizing, but was released after the auto-da-fé.

REINERUS NEUHUSIUS
POEMATA JUVENILIA LIBRI III AMSTERDAM IANSONIUM 1644
|
In 16 antico (14,2 x 8,5 x 2,5), tutta pergamena coeva calligrafata al dorso, nervetti, pag. (6) 22, 452 (6). Dedicatio all'"Illustribus ac Praepotentibus West-Frisiae, ordinibus nobilissimis ac Magnificis ALCMARIAE consulibusa". Prefatio liriche per i buoni auspici dell'opera dell'A. di B. Scotano, M. Z. Boxornio, C. Barlaeo, P. Winsemio, E. Bruno. Veramente ottima legatura, pochi inevitabili forellini da tarlo. Firma di un possessore ai fogli di guardia datata "Venetiis 1675". Frontespizio inciso. Testo della p. 123 sottolineato ma leggibile, uno strappetto alle pag. 295/296 con ridotta leggibilitO' relativa ad un solo verso. Testo interamente in lingua latina. Ottimo stato. Reinerus Neuhusius (Leeuwarden 13.5.1608 -Alkmaar begr. 28.12.1679), figlio maggiore del rettore Leeuwardese Edo Neuhusius, si iscrisse come studente nel 1626 a Franeker. Durante un viaggio di studio in Francia viene controvoglia spinto dal padre ad assumere il rettorato a Harlingen. Questo non gli impedirO' di coltivare importanti rapporti con l'ambiente culturale di Franeker. Ancora studente, inizia la sua attivitO' poetica e letteraria con il Libro I dei Poemata Juvenilia (1634). Nel 1638 parte per Alkmaar dove vi rimarrO' in qualitO' di rettore fino alla morte, nonostante analoghe offerte a Delft e Leeuwarden o per il professorato a Harderwijk e Franeker. Ammirazione, buoni contatti, molti studenti: condizioni che non lo allontaneranno pi da Alkmaar, pur coltivando importanti contatti culturali con umanisti frisi e olandesi (Barlaeus, Boxhorn, Cats, D.Heinsius). Dotata di fascino elegantemente demodU', l'opera di Neuhusius consiste principalmente di poesia e lavori filologici. Tecnica e talento retorico lo fecero apprezzare ai suoi contemporanei. I detrattori, invece, lo considerarono corruttore del buon gusto letterario per il suo latino impreziosito di grecismi e retorica biblica.

THE EIGHTEEN LOHAN RUBBINGS OF CHINESE BUDDHIST TEMPLES.
SUITE OF EIGHTEEN RUBBINGS OF CHINESE BUDDHIST LOHANS.
|
STUNNING RUBBINS OF THE FAMOUS BUDDHIST LOHANS China n.d. Green brocade silk cloth, accordion folded, tall tall format, 22 x 38.5 cm., illustrating in b.w. the eighte- en Lohan on 6 double-page plates, no text, a pristine, clean & bright copy, mounted Chinese style on hand-made paper.RARE A very lovely album, consisting of superb and very pristine rubbings of Lohans or Buddhist arhats. These saints have been around since the T'ang dynasty [618-905 A.D.]. These stone carvings were likely done in the late Ming period [1368-1644], of stone carvings. The work depicts each of the Eighteen Lohans ["pindola"] or "The old man [men] of the Mountain."], he is attended by an acolyte and a mountain demon. Pindola was also one of the four "Great Disciples" of the Buddha, left on earth to propagate Buddhism after the Buddha's death. All four were to remainin existance to spre- ad the Budhist gospel, and not to experience Nirvana, until Buddha returned to earth in the form of Maitreya. The second rubbing shows two monks seated together, and is of the 17th Louhan ["Pu Tai"] upper right, and the 18th Louhan ["Upasaka Dharmatala"] seated below and to the left. The concept of Louhans came originally to China via Tibet, and earlier dep- ictions include only 16. The 17th & 18th Louhans illustrated in this series of rubbings are later Chinese creations. This is probably a complete set of the Louhans at the time of the stone carving. The first 12 by name are: Ka-no-ka-Fa-tso; Pin-tu-lo-Po-lo-to-she; Su-p'in-t'e; Ka-no-ka-Po-li-tou-she; Po-t'e-lo; No-ku-lo; Fa-she-lo-fuh-to-lo; Ka-li-ka; Pan-t'o- kan; Shu-po-ka; Na-ka-si-na. Lo-hu-lo; Fa-na-p'o-ssu; Yin- kie;t'e; Chu-ch'a [t'a]-Pan-t'o-ka; & A-shih-to. Each sheet has been nicely mounted with ca. 4.5 cm. top and bottom margins, and ca. 5 cm. on the sides. The actual rubbing is 32.5 x 29 cm and is with usual black background with white characters and images, and is center-folded. The last page is blank. No colophon, not text whatsoever. A lovely work, full of charm and innocence. The art work is superbly carved in stone, then a rubbing was made using wet black Sumi-type ink which was then painted on the stone, while the paper was adheared to the wet sone. Then rubs on the back side with dry grass or other soft object. Not an easy task even under the best circumstances, but done with great skill, perfectly copying the stone tablets. By now, its easy to assume that these tablets have already perished or otherwise been disfi- gured or removed from its original site. Useful and excel- lent references exist on these eighteen Lohan: T. Watters: THE EIGHTEEN LOHAN OF CHINESE BUDDHIST TEMPLES. W. Fong: THE LOHANS AND A BRIDGE TO HEAVEN.

EDITION ORIGINALE et PREMIER TIRAGE des eaux-fortes ; en 1630, l'auteur avait fait paraitre un ouvrage au titre fort proche mais completement different de celui-ci, il s'agissait d'autres personnalites et d'autres graveurs ; celui-ci est nettement plus rare que l'ouvrage de 1630. L'auteur, ecrivain et prelat, est ne a Padoue (1597-1654) ; il fut nomme eveque de Citta-Naova en Istrie ; il fut un specialiste de Petrarque et ses voyages attestent de son bon gout, de son amour des Lettres et de sa vaste erudition ; les biographies qu'il dresse dans cet ouvrage sont d'une rare qualite et d'une grande precision. Parmi les personnages dont il atteste la celebrite, il consacre un joli portrait et une longue notice a Claude Expilly, celebre magistrat, President de la Cour de Dauphine ; les autres portraits et notices concernent Jean-Georges Trissino, dit Le Tressin en francais, poete francais ne a Vicence ; Luis Ricchieri, plus connu sous le nom de Coelius Rhodigionas, philologue ne a Rovigo, nomme par Francois Ier Professeur de litterature grecque et latine a Milan ; l'illustre Theophile Folengo, plus connu sous son pseudonyme de Merlin Coccaie et createur de la poesie macaronique qui a inspire Rabelais ; Prosper Alpinus, celebre botaniste qui voyagea en Egypte et fut le premier a decrire le cafeier ; Jean Barclay de Pont a Mousson, auteur du celebre Argenius, satire contre les vices des Cours ; puis Jean Prevost, medecin ; Felix Orio de Milan, litterateur ; Louis Bocca-di-Ferno, medecin de Bologne et philosophe ; Isota Nogarola, nee a Verone, celebre jeune femme du XVe siecle, par son esprit et son savoir ; etc. Quelques cahiers tres legerement deboites, petit trou au dos, sans gravite, petit travail de ver en fond de gorge de quelques feuillets de l'Index, sinon bon exemplaire dans l'ensemble, avec un beau tirage des portraits qui sont remarquables.

The second of two books in which the author, defends the freedom of the Venetian republic.

With the present volume Graswinckel defends the historical rights of the Republic against the claims of the duke of Savoy. It is directed against a work written by order of the duke by the Italian Jesuit Petrus Menodus, who asserted that the duke of Savoy had the right to the title of king. It is dedicated to the Venetian ambassador at the peace talks in Munster Alvise Contarini, who procured Graswinckel's elevation to the rank of Knight of San Marco. Rare. *Willems 573. Dekkers p.66,4.

Finely engraved title-page (a trifle shaved at outer edge) & 675 woodcuts in the text. 10 p.l. (incl. engr. title), 1187 (i.e. 1185), [87] pp. Folio, cont. Dutch vellum over boards (head of spine somewhat worn, foot of spine with a tear repaired), panelled in blind, central arabesque in blind to each cover, remains of green silk ties. Amsterdam: H. Laurentius, 1644. First edition to be edited by Joannes Bodaeus à Stapel; it “is one of the best and most thoughtfully prepared of all the editions of Theophrastos.”–Hunt 240. H.H. Bartlett wrote in his Fifty-five Rare Books (Ann Arbor: 1949) of this edition: “It is interesting not only because of the brilliance of the editing, but, curiously enough, to the American botanist as well, for involving in the discussion certain species from Virginia, other parts of the New World, and Asia. The illustrations of these plants have been largely overlooked in botanical history, because of their incidental presence in a work which might not be expected to contain anything of the sort. Some were merely borrowed from l’Escluse or de Lobel, but others seem to be original in this work.” A fine and crisp copy. ❧ D.S.B., XIII, pp. 328-334. See Garrison-Morton 1783.

Premiere Edition publiee en France, de la Grande Chronique du moine benedictin Matthieu Paris (mort en 1259).

"One of the most important sources of knowledge of events in Europe between 1235 and 1259" (Encyclopaedia Britannica). "Les relations qu'il eut a la meme epoque avec un grand nombre de personnages savants et distingues qui avaient beaucoup voyage, notamment avec le medecin Rauulphe Besace, avec le juif Aron d'York, et avec le maitre de l'hopital de Jerusalem, Guillaume de C'hateauueuf, lui permirent de reunir des renseignements et des documents d'un grand interet. Poete, orateur, theologien, historien, Matthieu Paris avait eu outre des connaissances en peinture et en architecture et passait pour fort habile en mecanique" (Larousse). Beau portrait grave de l'auteur a pleine page. Tres bon exemplaire.

Rarissima prima edizione di uno dei testi di maggiore importanza della letteratura antica sui Valdesi. L'opera e' la seconda storia dei Valdesi in assoluto dopo quella del Perrin. "Le projet de cette nouvelle histoire des Vaudois fut concu immediatement apres l'apparition de l'ouvrage insuffisant de Perrin... L'histoire de Gilles fait source pour les evenements qui se sont passees de 1550 a' 1640... Gilles doit etre lu en regard de Rorengo, qui raconte, a' un autre point de vue, les memes faits que lui, et qui cherche souvent a' le refuter; mais sans succes" (Muston, p. 9). L'opera, notevole per esattezza, imparzialita' ed equilibrio di giudizio, e' improntata allo schema cronachistico tipico della storiografia del tempo.

Plusieurs arrets du conseil du roi reviennent meme sur les limitations de l'edit de Nantes instituees par des arrets anterieurs. La declaration royale de 1652, signee par Louis XIV lors de sa majorite, confirme solennellement l'edit de Nantes en louant les reformes 'Ede leur affection et fideliteEE pendant les troubles. L'assemblee du clerge reagit en 1655 avec un cahier de doleances demandant la revocation de la declaration de 1652 ainsi que la destruction de temples et la limitation de l'acces aux offices. Mazarin accepte, et la declaration royale de 1656 est plus restrictive que celle de 1652.

Massa e Landi, 1644., Firenze, - In 4°; 1 c., pagg. 243, 151 (mal num.), vignette schematiche incise in legno n.t. Pergamena settecentesca con tassello al dorso.Edizione originale dell'unica opera di Torricelli pubblicata durante la sua vita. L'opera è costituita di tre parti: De Sphaera et Solidis Sphaeralibus. De Motu Gravium naturaliter descendentium et Proiectorum. De Dimensione Parabolae, Solidique Hyperbolici Problemata duo. Nella seconda parte, dove tratta la scienza meccanica, troviamo varie proposizioni relative alla discesa dei gravi, inoltre è dimostrato il postulato di Galileo sulle uguali velocità dei gravi per piani inclinati di stessa altezza. Nel De Motu acquarum (Torricelli è considerato da Mach il fondatore dell'idrodinamica) viene enunciato il celebre teorema sulla velocità di efflusso dei liquidi. Bell'esemplare. Riccardi II, 543. PMM 145. D.S.B. XIII, pp. 434-37: "The work [.] had intrinsic value and [.] diffused the geometry of Cavalieri [.]. In De motu gravium he continued the study of the parabolic motion of projectiles, begun by Galileo [.]. As Torricelli acquired increasing familiarity with the method of indivisibles, he reached the point of surpassing the master - as Cavalieri himself said [.]. The treatise also refers to the movement of water in a paragraph so important that Ernst Mach proclaimed Torricelli the founder of hydrodynamics [.]. He deduced the theorem that bears his name". Riccardi II, 542-544. Cinti, Bibl. Galileiana, 114. Mieli, Gli Scienziati Italiani, Vol. I, parte II, pp. 301, 304. cum appendice de dimensione spatii cycloidalis, & cochleae.

Antwerp, Balthasar Moretus, 1644 Folio (405 x 255 mm), pp [xxxvi] 1492 [60, index], with a beautifully handcoloured engraved title, 2 large handcoloured initials, title and initials illuminated in gold, and 1470 finely handcoloured woodcuts; a fine copy in contemporary richly gilt decorated calf binding by Albertus Magnus, upper and lower covers elaborately tooled, spine gilt in 8 compartments with red gilt morocco title-piece, monogram of Michiel van der Grijp on spine and covers, all edges gilt, a few minor repairs. £90,000 An extraordinary copy of the most important herbal in the Dutch language, bound by the most famous Dutch bookbinder of the seventeenth century for Michiel van der Grijp, a wealthy Amsterdam nobleman. Albertus Magnus (1642-1689) of Amsterdam is considered one of the finest bookbinders of the seventeenth century. The present copy was studied at great length by specialists of the Royal Library at The Hague. By comparing the tools used for this copy with other Albertus Magnus bindings it can be ascribed to Magnus with certainty. Albertus Magnus was one of the first binders to introduce and develop a Dutch variant of the French style ëà petits fersí. The present binding is very similar to the famous wedding bible Albertus Magnus gave to his wife in 1670 and now in the University Library of Amsterdam (see no 9 in Catalogue of an exhibition held in Amsterdam in 1997 for the International Association of Bibliophiles). Michiel van der Grijp was one of Albertus Magnusí best customers and a number of books with his monogram or coat of arms is known. A binding with both van der Grijpís coat of arms and his monogram is shown on page 78 of Roelof van Gelder and Jan van der Waals, Een wereldreiziger op papier. De atlas van Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), Royal Palace of Amsterdam exhibition, 1992. ëMichiel van der Grijp was baptised in Amsterdam in 1635. In 1660 he married Anna Haze, whose father was extremely wealthy. In June 1668 Kaiser Leopold I bestowed a noble rank on him as Michiel Ludovicus van Bergen, Lord Van der Grijp. Since Van der Grijp ordered sumptuous bindings from Magnus for both a printed edition and a sixteenth-century manuscript of the Amsterdam charters and statutes, we can conclude that he had his eyes on a career as an Amsterdam regent. In 1677 we find him in Hoorn where he remarried. Was that the end of his aspirations in Amsterdam? In 1679 he faced financial problems. A list of his creditors drawn up at that time included Albertus Magnus, whom he owed 425 guilders plus 10 guilders in surchargeí (exhibition catalogue 1997, p 32). The colouring of the Cruydt-Boeck is outstanding, using body and water colours and could be by Dirck Janz van Santen, ìthe most famous illuminator of his timeî (exhibition catalogue p 29), who illustrated several works bound by Magnus. As Van Santen did not sign his work this can only be a supposition. This is the last and most augmented edition of this monumental Dutch herbal, with additions by Joost van Ravelingen. Dodoens (1517-1585), Flemish physician and botanist, was one of the three great Flemish botanists in the second half of the sixteenth century, the others being lí…cluse and Lobel. The first edition of the present herbal was published in Antwerp by Jan van der Loe in 1554. Dodoens graduated from the University of Louvain in 1535. After working in Malines as a physician he moved to Vienna to assume the post of personal physician to Emperor Maximilian II, and later moved to Prague when Rudolf II succeeded Maximilian. In 1582 Dodoens was appointed professor of botany at the University of Leiden. The Cruydt-Boeck has been the most important and popular herbal in the Dutch language. This edition includes an appendix of New World plants.

Impresa tipografica al titolo. Testatine, finalini e capilettera istoriati od ornati incisi su legno. Sparsi aloni marginali e bruniture, lievi quanto usuali. Bell'esemplare. Rarissima prima edizione di uno dei testi di maggiore importanza della letteratura antica sui Valdesi. L'opera è la seconda storia dei Valdesi in assoluto dopo quella del Perrin. "Le projet de cette nouvelle histoire des Vaudois fut conçu immédiatement après l'apparition de l'ouvrage insuffisant de Perrin. L'histoire de Gilles fait source pour les événements qui se sont passées de 1550 à 1640. Gilles doit être lu en regard de Rorengo, qui raconte, à un autre point de vue, les mêmes faits que lui, et qui cherche souvent à le refuter; mais sans succès" (Muston, p. 9). L'opera, notevole per esattezza, imparzialità ed equilibrio di giudizio, è improntata allo schema cronachistico tipico della storiografia del tempo.

Dzengseo, Nicola Di Cosmo
The Diary of a Manchu Soldier in Seventeenth-Century China
|
Routledge/Curzon. Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. The Manchu conquest of China inaugurated one of the most successful and long-living dynasties in Chinese history: the Qing (1644-1911). The wars fought by the Manchus to invade China and consolidate the power of the Qing imperial house spanned over many decades through most of the seventeenth century. This book provides the first Western translation of the diary of Dzengseo, a young Manchu officer, and recounts the events of the War of the Three Feudatories (1673-1682), fought mostly in south-western China and widely regarded as the most serious military challenge faced by the Manchus before the Taiping rebellion (1851-1864). The author's participation in the campaign provides the close-up, emotional perspective on what it meant to be in combat, while also providing a rare window into the overall organization of the Qing army, and new data in key areas of military history such as combat, armament, logistics, rank relations and military culture. The diary represents a fine and rare example of Manchu personal writing, and shows how critical the development of Manchu studies can be for our knowledge of China's early modern history.

TOFI Stefano (padre, di Bettona)
Trattato dell'indulgenza plenaria concessa dalla bocca di Giesù Christo alla cappella di Santa Maria degli Angeli d'Assisi a prieghi del p.s. Francesco e intercessione della Vergine ss., detta comunemente perdono d'agosto.
|
per Marc'Antonio Mazantini, In Urbino 1644 - Diviso in 2 parti. Nella prima si dimostra che Christo concesse un'indulgenza plenaria in perpetuo, contina per ciaschedun giorno dell'anno; nella seconda si tratta dell'istessa indulgenza solennizzata nel corso d'un giorno naturale e più. Distinto in 29 capitoli e 42 dubbij curiosissimi per dilucidar la sopraddetta materia. Opera utile per eccitare la devotione ne' fedeli, roborata con buonissime dottrine theologiche, autenticata da scrittori gravissi mi, da sommi pontefici, dalla consuetudine e da' miracoli. 8°, pp.(44) 191 (1) con Errata, numerosi capolett. e finalini xilogr., 3 xilogr. ai marg. bianchi di p.80 e p.84, con i sigilli di 3 notai che avevano preso testimonianze sull'indulgenza + 1 tav. in an-tip. inc.in rame con bella vignetta con s.Francesco sulla porta di una chiesa (S.Maria degli Angeli?), con la Madonna, Cristo e cherubini, di cui uno sorregge un nastro con il motto "Haec est porta vitae aeternae", e adagiato in terra, lo stemma Vitelli. P. perg. coeva, picc. mancanze al dorso. Lievi fio-riture. Antiche firme al marg. infer. banco dell'antip. e del front. Nelle cc. preliminari la dedicatoria dell'Aut. a mons.Francesco Vitelli, arciv.di Urbino; la nota dell'Aut.e alcuni versi in elogio dell'Aut. e sull'indulgenza della Porziuncola, di vari autt.: C.Tommasino, T.Donnola, G.B.Paleari, B.Mazzi-ci, G. de Bezzanti, S. Maioccini, A.Sinibaldi, Gironda Cerrini (in italiano: "Sopra le girate che si fanno per la cappella di S.Maria degli Angeli, canzone"), B. Bassi, C.Vuetti, F.M.Calidoni, F.M. Pelleraggi, G.Petriccioli, G.B.Rocchicciola, Onofrio degli Onofri; L. Onesti. Interessante op. sulla storia dell'indulgenza della Porziuncola e cioè come s. Francesco ebbe, direttamente da Cristo, la grazia della indulgenza plenaria per i peccatrori che visitavano la cappella della Porziuncola. Sul tema si creò una di-sputa, come mostrano i 44 "dubbi", esposti in questa op., intercalati alla narrazione, che si svolge in 34 capitoli, divisi in 2 parti (19 nella 1° e 15 nella 2°). Nella 1° parte si narra come s.Francesco fu "chiamato da un angelo accicchè andase nella s. cappella degli Angeli, che Christo e sua Madre l'aspettavano per parlagli"(p.1), come "Christo con voce sensibile concede l'Indulgenza plenaria nella s. Cappella ed è concessione assoluta, escludente qualsivoglia limitazione di tempo" (p.18) e come "Christo ordina al Santo che vada dal suo vicario a domandare l'istessa indulgenza ch'Egli aveva conce-duta" (p.28): alcune testimonianze confermavano che l'indulgenza, riconosciuta da papa Onofrio III, era stata concessa da Dio stesso. Nella 2° parte viene narrata l'apparizione di una schiera di angeli che invitò Fran-cesco nella Cappella, dove apparvero "quelle Maestà gloriose nell'istessa maniera della prima"(p.99) e "Chri-sto assegnò questo santo perdono nel giorno che s. Pie-tro fu sciolto dalle catene"(p.102). Gli ultimi capitoli contengono testimonianze in cui "si dimostra la verità dell'indulgenza d'agosto per mezzo di scrittori gravi che l'hanno scritta"(p.137-140), "viene stabilita e au-tenticata maggiormente da diversi s.pontefici la verità dell'indulgenza"(pp.141-44) e "si apportano alcuni miracoli per maggiormente dimostrare la verità della concessione di Christo"(pp.149-155). Interessanti i dubbi, tra cui: "Se Christo e la Madre apparissero gloriosi e con maestà sopra l'altare della cappella e se il Santo vidde quelle maestà con occhi corporali"(p.5); "Se il papa con quelle parole dette 3 volte, Placet mihi quod habeas, concesse l'indulgenza continua d'ogni giorno, perpetua e senza peso di opere pie"(p.41); "Perché il santo scrisse l'indulgenza del giorno naturale, mentre Christo l'avea conceduta per ogni giorno dell'anno" (p.134). Manca a Vinciana, Lozzi, Bocca, Platneriana. Numero di catalogo: 172- 179

C'est le premier recueil donne par Billaut, qui jusqu'alors n'avait laisse imprimer que des plaquettes de circonstance. Les 28 premieres pages sont une longue epitre en vers adressee au vicomte d'Arpajon. Les 100 pages qui suivent la preface de l'abbe de Marolles renferment 62 poesies francaises par 53 auteurs et 7 pieces grecques, latines, italiennes et espagnole a la louange de l'auteur.

(De Backer, 755 - Lachevre pp. 119 et 153). Adam Billaut voit le jour a Nevers en 1602. Sa jeunesse est mal connue. Il est menuisier et poete. Il est meme le premier d'une grande tradition de poetes ouvriers qui se developpera surtout au 19eme siecle. Il commence par des vers ""d'atelier"", une Muse des copeaux qui seduisit princesses et academiciens et deviendra la coqueluche des salons parisiens. Introduit par l'abbe Marolles dans la Boheme des Lettres ce ""Virgile au rabot"" fut surtout un poete courtisan. Il resista aux instances de ses amis qui voulaient l'attirer a Paris avec une piece fameuse : Au loin l'ambition et ses folles chimeres ! / Qu'un autre aille, orgueilleux, dans le palais des rois / Avec pompe etaler ses hautaines miseres / Moi, j'aime mieux Nevers et l'ombre de ses bois ! - Billaut meurt en 1662. - Superbe exemplaire.
