JANSSON, Jan (1588-1664)
[Japan] Nova et Accurata Iaponiæ, Terræ Esonis ac Insularum adjacentium
|
[Amsterdam]: Jansson, [n.d. but circa 1659]. Hand-coloured copper engraved map in excellent condition. 19 3/4 x 23 1/2 inches. A handsome early Dutch map of Japan This map of Japan was Jansson's second. It represents a considerable improvement on the first, (1646), which was a re-issue of Luis Teixeira's 1595 map. Jansson's 1659 map adds to Teixeira's knowledge the discoveries of Martin Vries, a Dutch explorer, who set out in 1643, and revelations found in Father Martino Martini's map of 1649, who seems to have had access to Chinese maps that depicted China, Korea and Japan. Thus, the islands of Japan including Hokkaido (then called Eso) began to come into focus and their true form. Much remained to be learned. The Japanese themselves were only dimly aware of Hokkaido, and its insularity and shape were only discovered much later. The great landmass to the east, "Compagniesland", which seems to be an early representation of Alaska, was an island east of Hokkaido, named and noted by Vries, who himself promoted the hypothesis that Compagniesland was North America. The map is in flawless condition with original outline colour. There is a handsome cartouche with five well drawn Japanese gentlemen.

Henrdick Doncker

|
Rare first edition of Doncker's chart the English Channel and the contigous coastlines of southern England and the coast of Bretagne and Normandie. One of the earliest commercial sea charts to cover the region. Includes 2 coats of arms and a decorative cartouche. Hendrik Doncker was a famous bookseller in Amsterdam, who started with the age of 22 years and ran his shop successfully for fifty years. He published his first sea atlas around 1659.

Recent half speckled calf, old style; marbled paper sides; round spines, raised bands, gilt center devices in spine compartments, bands accented with gilt beading. Binding signed by Starr Bookworks. Occasional early marginalia. Occasional foxing. Very old waterstaining in vol. VI, with cockling of paper; minor worming in upper margins of same volume (not anywhere close to text).

VIII: Frontis., title-leaf, [4] ff., pp. 1–76, 101–252, 401–786,. Rushworth (1612?–90), a partisan of Cromwell and Parliament, compiled one of the most famous and still sought-after assemblages of documents on the history of England during the early Stuart period and the Civil War era. Biased though it be, the work is a major source for historians, both amateur and professional, and for students of English law. For the latter, in addition to the obvious parliamentary proceedings, there is the noteworthy inclusion at the end of vol. III of the "Star Chamber Reports" that compose the appendix, and the devotion of all of vol. VIII to the trial of Thomas, Earl of Stratford. As our caption notes, this vast repository purports to have been made as "a bare narrative" of its "fact[s]"; but it now resonates with a richness far beyond mere chronicle. => It repays both extended and "dip-in" reading for pleasure.

Pliny (C. Plinii Caecilii)
Secundi Epistolae et Panegyricus
|
Elzeviriana (Elsevier), Amsterdam 1659 - "Editio Nova" (New Edition), annotated/edited by Marcus Zuerius van Boxhorn (Latinized to Boxhornius on the title page), who had died 6 years earlier. Boxhorn was an important linguist before it was a separate science; he was the first to propose the existence of Proto-Indoeuropean, which he called Scythian. This is a 16mo volume with rather small type, bound in full vellum with a leather title piece. Good plus; the vellum is warped so that the front cover has begun to separate, and the front pastedown is torn. Has all-edge gilt but the top is quite dull. 404 pp. + index. Owner's names on the obverse of ffep and facing page; one of these has left a note, "collates perfect". (I didn't check.) The text is free of any writing or foxing. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

ERASMUS.
Lof der Sotheyd, eertijds in 't latijn geschreven, ende nu in nederduytsche rijmen naegevolgt door Jacob Westerbaen, Heer van Brandwijck &c.
|
Anthony, Johannes, ende Pieter Tongerloo,, 'sGraven-Hage, 1659 - Sm. 8vo. Contemp. vellum. With small ornamental woodcut vignette on title. (16), 160 pp. Rare first edition of the translation in verse by Jacob Westerbaen of "Moriae Encomium" (Praise of Folly) by the famous Dutch humanist, Erasmus (1469-1536). Jacob Westerbaen (1600-1670), first studied theology, but as a member of the Remonstrant faction he was obliged to switch his studies to medicine. When practicing as a physician at the Hague, he married the rich widow of Reinier van Oldebarneveldt who had been convicted and beheaded as a Remonstrant. Westerbaen became "Heer van Brandwijck", and built himself a fine country house, called "Ockenburg", near Loosduinen. Here, during the long winter nights, Westerbaen worked at his Erasmus translation, from the Latin into Dutch Alexandrines. In the preface he discusses the difficulties he encountered because of the rhyme. Still, he is confident about the results. The Dutch translation of the letter by Erasmus to Thomas More to whom the work was dedicated, is here erroneously dated 1508. Good copy of a rare translation.- (Binding sl. rubbed; traces of another work having at some time been bound in). Bibl. Belg. E 956 Vander Haeghen p. 124; Erasmus Coll.

A Near Fine hardback in full modern vellum binding with red leather gilt lettered spine label, patterned endpapers, silk ribbon bookmark. Edges tinted blue. Complete with two folding plates and extra engraved title page. Minimal scattered foxing. 24mo. 552 pp. + Index. Glisson's second work, the "Anatomia hepatis" (1654), rested largely on observations made in 1640, when he had lectured on the fine structure of the liver. The work begins with "Prolegomena quaedam ad rem anatomicam universe spectantia" ("Some Prolegomena Referring to Anatomy Generally"), where he tries to reconcile the Aristotelian doctrine of the elements with that of the chemists. In this work he advocated very advanced anatomical methods such as use of the microscope and injection of colored liquids. In the "Anatomia hepatis" proper, a section of the book of the same title Glisson denies the continuity of the branches of the portal vein into those of the hepatic veins. He contencs that the branches cross, and that the blood carried in the portal vein is separated in the liver. Its bilous fraction is sucked up by the biliary vessels, because of an attraction which Glisson variously calls similar, magnetic, or natural, and which does not differ essentially from Galen's "attractive faculty." The remaining blood is attracted by the hepatic veins. The ramifications of the portal vein, together with the bile ducts, are encased in fibrous tissue, which Glisson calls capsula communis, now known as "Glisson's capsule." The book ends with a chapter on the lymphatics. (DSB Vol. 5, p. 426). Heirs Hippocrates 472; Norman 911; Garrison-Morton 972 (All citing the 1654 edition). [Publisher: Sumptibus Joannis Ravesteinii]

He delineated the passage of blood from the portal vein to the vena cava and also showed that lymph does not flow to the liver but rather away from it, passing to the recently discovered capsula communis. This fibrous capsule, which Glisson was the first to correctly describe, is now referred to as "Glisson's capsule." Glisson was Regius Professor of Physic at Cambridge for over forty years, one of the founders of the Royal Society, and also president of the Royal College of Physicians for two years.

[1658 Chart of the Antilles] (Puerto Rico to Trinidad and Venezuelan Coastline)
|
Highly decorative sea chart of the Antilles or Windward Islands, from Puerto Rico to Trinidad and the Venezuelan Coastline The chart is oriented with west at the top and shows the Caribbean Islands from 'Isla de Margarita' across Barbados, Antigua, St. Christopherus towards Porto Rico (I. de San Iuan de Puerto Rico). This is one of the earliest charts to depict this configuration and was followed by Goos, Van Loon and others. Hendrik Doncker was a famous bookseller in Amsterdam, who started with the age of 22 years and ran his shop successfully for fifty years. He published his first sea atlas around 1659. Due to the fact, that Hendrik Doncker corrected and improved his charts more frequent then other well known map makers, as van Loon, Goos or Theunis, his business was quite successful and there was a high demand for his works and this reflected also the various improved and corrected editions of sea atlases he published. This map was published in a composit sea atlas by Pieter Goos, who was 'one of the best known maritime booksellers of Amsterdam' (Koeman), he published a number of different sea-atlases or pilot books, his work was very much derivative. With his 'Zee-Atlas' he relied heavily on Hendrick Doncker's 'Zee-Atlas' of 1659. The present example is printed on excellent thick double paper, it stands out through the highly decorative hand colors and the partially heightening of gold in title cartouches, mileage scales, compass roses or other places.

On a reproché à Quinte Curce ses erreurs en géographie, son ignorance de la tactique, son dédain pour la chronologie, son goût pour le merveilleux, ses déclamations de rhéteur et son peu de discernement dans le choix des faits. Néanmoins l'élégance du style, la richesse des peintures, le pathétique et l'énergie de plusieurs des harangues, le charme et l'intérêt de la narration ont rendu cet ouvrage classique. Parmi les nombreux suppléments qui ont été composés pour en combler les lacunes, ceux de Freinsheim sont les plus estimés. La traduction par Vaugelas reste une des meilleures. Très bel exemplaire en maroquin d'époque et à grandes marges. Brunet II.

MONTANUS, A.
Korte Catechisatie, Over de Gemeine Plaetsen der H. Schriftuur: Tot Onderwijsing van de Christelijke Jeugd, ende alle die haer ten H. Avondmael begeven willen.

Marcus Willemsz. Doornik,, Amst., 1659 - Den tweeden druk, seer vermeerdert en verbetert. 2 works in 1 vol. 12mo. Contemp. vellum. With woodcut vignette on 2 titles. (6), 338, (16); (2), 55, (3) pp. IDEM. Korte Catechizatie, over den Heidelbergsche Catechismus: Tot Onderwijsing der Christelijke Jeugd, en alle die haer ten H. Avondmael begeven willen. Two Dutch catechisms in one volume, the first very elaborate with questions and answers on all important texts of the Scriptures, the second with short questions and answers on the Heidelberg catechism, respectively meant to be learned by heart by the more advanced and the younger children, as well as by respectively the more educated and more simple people. Arnoldus Montanus (ca. 1625-1683), minister and rector of the Latin School at Schoonhoven, published a considerable number of learned works, next to religious books also historical works, several on the Dutch Stadtholders, on Dutch sea-captains, etc., as well as some famous travel books. Montanus' Gedenkwaardige Gezantschappen der Oost-Indische Compagnie aan den keizer van Japan, published in 1669, still is considered one of the most important early Dutch books on Japan. It is further of interest to note that the Jesuit Cornelius Hazart published several works to counteract the religious power of Montanus' publications.

- Four folding printed tables & numerous woodcut diagrams in the text. 6 p.l. (two of these preliminary leaves are mis-bound at end), 188 pp., 4 leaves of errata at end. Small 4to, attractive antique calf, panelled in gilt, gilt fleurons in each corner, spine gilt. Zurich: J.J. Bodmer, 1659. First edition and an absolutely complete copy of this rare and noteworthy mathematical book; our copy has all four folding printed tables (most copies described in OCLC seem to have only three) and an extra leaf of errata not present in the Macclesfield copy (sale, Sotheby’s London, 25 Oct. 2005, lot 1705, £12,000 including premium). In this book on page 73, Rahn first introduced the symbol "÷" in print "as a sign of division; (2) the Archimedean spiral for involution; (3) the double epsilon for evolution; (4) the use of capital letters B, D, E, for given numbers, and small letters a, b, for unknown numbers; (5) the * for multiplication; (6) the first use of ? for ‘therefore’; (7) the three-column arrangement of which the left column contains the directions, the middle the numbers of the lines, the right the results of the operations."–Cajori, A History of Mathematical Notations, I, pp. 211-12 & see illus. on p. 213 (& see sections 205, 208, 232, 237, 266, 304, 307, 328, 333, 341, 385, & 386 for Rahn’s other contributions, all of which appear in the present book). We know that Leibniz looked upon Rahn’s book favorably, describing it as "an elegant algebra." While Rahn’s use of the modern division sign was not immediately adopted in Europe, in England it met a very favorable reception, with John Wallis and other English writers employing it. Rahn (1622-76), came from a prominent Zurich family and had a major role in the administration of his native city. About 1654, Rahn came to know John Pell (1611-85), then a representative of the Commonwealth at Zurich, and engaged the English mathematician as a tutor in 1657, meeting every Friday night. While some of the advances in notation in this book might have derived from Pell, "without further evidence, it is best to assume that there was joint responsibility for these innovations and that Pell’s contemporary reputation as a mathematician, and particularly as an algebraist, was not unearned."–D.S.B., X, p. 495. Fine crisp copy. Old library stamp on title. ❧ Cajori, A History of Mathematics, p. 140. Smith, History of Mathematics, I, p. 412 & II, pp. 406, 411-12, 431n, & 474.

Hendrik van Rhyn,. Devices on t.p.s Petit-Didier (1659-1728) "After studying at the Jesuit college at Nancy he joined the Benedictine Congregation of St-Vannes, in 1675, at the monastery of St-Mihiel. In 1682 he was appointed professor of philosophy and theology. In 1699 he was canonically elected Abbot of Bouzonville, but could not take possession because the Duke of Lorraine had given the abbey in commendam to his own brother. He was elected Abbot of Senones in 1715, but got possession only after a lengthy dispute with another claimant. He became president of his congregation in 1723 and two years later Benedict XIII appointed him Bishop of Acra." This work is a response to Blaise Pascal's "Provinciales.' "Appearing under the pseudonym of Louis de Montalte, they were published at Cologne in 1657 as "Les Provinciales, ou Lettres Žcrites par Louis de Montalte ˆ un provincial de ses amis et au RR. PP. Jesuites sur le sujet de la morale et de la politique de ces pres". The first four treat the dogmatic question which forms the basis of Jansenism on the agreement between grace and human liberty. Pascal answers it by practically, if not theoretically, denying sufficient grace and liberty. The seventeenth and eighteenth letters take up the same questions, but with noteworthy qualifications. From the fourth to the sixteenth Pascal censures the Jesuit moral code, or rather the casuistry, first, by depicting a na”f Jesuit who, through silly vanity, reveals to him the pretended secrets of the Jesuit policy, and then by direct invective against the Jesuits themselves. The most famous are the fourth, on sins of ignorance, and the thirteenth, on homicide." [Catholc Ency.] Goldsmith BL 17th French, M 1315 & 1316. Colonia I, 81. Barbier I, 246. 265.Brunet, IV, 398.

The tract itself is a defence of the commonwealth and of parliamentary authority as the only alternative to tyranny and tyrants. The death of Oliver Cromwell in 1658 and the appointment of his 3rd son, Richard, as protector had destabilised the political situation in England. On the 13th Oct 1659 the army re-asserted control by closing Parliament and creating a Committee of Safety to govern the country. It is perhaps to this committe that the author of this tract was addressing himself.

Villa Franca [i.e. London]. , 1659 - FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, engraved allegorical frontispiece, woodcut initials, manuscript note with attribution on the front endpaper, pp. 58, 1-100, 129-324, 8vo., contemp. calf, rebacked, red morocco label with gilt lettering, the sides panelled in blind, good Pierre du Moulin, (1601–1684), Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist, was born in Paris on 24 April. His establishment in England was sealed by the incorporation of his DD at Cambridge in 1640, and in the following year he became rector of Wheldrake, Yorkshire. Early in 1640 Du Moulin entered the debate over episcopacy with ‘A Letter of a French Protestant to a Scotishman of the Covenant’, in which he both denied French Reformed support for Scottish presbyterian discipline and affirmed its acceptance of English bishops. In ‘The History of the English and Scotch Presbytery’, first published in 1659 and reissued in 1660, he returned to the themes of ‘A Letter of a French Protestant.’ He prefaced the work with Charles I’s declaration to Reformed Protestants of May 1644 denying an intention to introduce popery and affirming his attachment to an Anglican church they had accepted, and with a letter apparently of his own to the ministers of the Reformed church in Paris setting out to show ‘that it’s impossible to alter the foundation of Church and State, without pulling down the house, which is the work of the blind, as Sampson’: the covenanters had wronged their king, their countrymen, and the Reformed churches. The work was also attributed to Isaac Basire (Thomason), and John Bramhall, Bishop of Derry (Halkett & Laing), and the translation, from the original French, to Matthew Playford. The curious pagination matches other recorded copies. (Wing D2558A; ESTC R209669) [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

An attractively written elementary Hebrew grammar which offers the student the basics in six hours. Various short additamenta take him further with information on the alphabet, the Samaritan script, the Cabbala, Talmud, Masora, followed by reading exercises and a compendious lexicon which within each letter treats some five or six words in depth. A folding table details the subjects to be studied for each of the six hours. The second part offers instruction for five more hours on the intricacies of conjugation, followed by an appendicula de syntaxi and finally a dictionary of anomala with scriptural references. It contains also an exposition of the radix poem (II 185-191) with the text similar to PO 124b except for the last two lines which read: Tandem quicquid ab hoc exorbitat ordine; disces / usu: qui tibi in hac parte magister erit. The Atrium is the only Hebrew philological work of the prolific Nürnberg Professor of Theology Dilherr (1604-69), dedicated to the court physician and imperial historiographer J. W. Managetta.

[Cordier BS 580; Löwendahl 121; Lust 412; Morrison II p. 453] Written by a Jesuit who had spent some years in China and first published in 1658, this was 'the first serious attempt by a European to write Chinese history . . . . It contains a wealth of detail not only about the emperors and high officials, but also about Chinese religious and intellectual life, internal conflicts, and foreign relations. It provoked a rather heated controversy among European scholars, because according to Martini's calculations seven Chinese emperors had reigned before the generally accepted date of the biblical flood (2349 B.C.) in which all people on earth except Noah and his family were supposed to have drowned' (Lach & Van Kley I p. 527).

WHITE, THOMAS
THE MIDDLE STATE OF SOULS. FROM THE HOUR OF DEATH TO THE DAY OF JUDGMENT
|
1659. FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH.. Corners a bit worn, two small spots on covers, otherwise the original rustic binding solid and pleasing, with very little wear to the joints. Stab marks at inner margin from a previous binding, title page and a few other leaves a trifle soiled, insignificant tears and a little offsetting, but the text generally well preserved, especially for this kind of book, the leaves almost entirely fresh and clean.. [London], 1659. 149 x 84 mm. (5 7/8 x 3 1/4"). Ornamental headpieces and frames around initials. Front free endpaper with inscription of Tho. Bennion in an old hand, first two leaves with small embossed armorial stamp of the Macclesfield Library and front pastedown with matching armorial Macclesfield bookplate. Wing W-1836. First published in Latin in 1653 (and never reprinted after our edition of 1659), this controversial work offended both Catholics and Protestants by its opinions on the state of the soul between the time of death and the final day of judgment. The author asserts that the sins of repentant souls are purged, not by any monstrous demons or flames, but only by the inner torment resulting from the conflict between lingering base desires and a yearning to attain the beatific vision of God. This vision, White argues, can be obtained when the soul is thoroughly cleansed, without waiting for the end of time. These statements run counter to the opinions of vulgar modern divines, but our author marshals arguments and references from Church Fathers to bolster his position. Born into an English Catholic family, Thomas White (1593-1676), who also used the name Blacloe, was educated at Catholic universities on the continent. He became a priest and a teacher of classics, philosophy, and theology at the English Catholic University of Douay. In his latter years he settled in England and became a good friend of fellow independent thinker Thomas Hobbes. According to DNB, the opinions in the present book gave great scandal, and White's own University of Douay denounced the work. White also thought fit to deny the infallibility of the pope, but before his death, he submitted to church authority and was reconciled to the Catholic faith. Like so many of the early English books from the Macclesfield library, this volume is both very well preserved and extremely rare. NUC locates just three copies, ABPC lists no other copy at auction since at least 1975, and there seems to be no cmpeting copy currently available for sale. REALLY EXCELLENT CONTEMPORARY POLISHED CALF, raised bands, boards and spine compartments tooled in blind, two old, small paper labels on spine.

Relation Veritable de ce qui s'est Passe au Royaume de Sophie...
|
Charles de Sercy, Paris, 1659.. Duodecimo, slightly browned but a very good copy in contemporary speckled calf, spine gilt between raised bands.. Very scarce: first edition of this description and history of an imagined kingdom, an allegorical satire on French court and society. Sorel (1597-1674) novelist and historian, wrote a vast array of works, many issued anonymously or pseudonymously: he 'professa toute sa vie pour les lettres une ardeur indefatigable' (NBG). This tremendous output has made a complete bibliography of his works a difficult undertaking, but even a brief overview shows his astonishing diversity: satires, histories, fables, etc. The Relation Veritable is a satire on French mores, followed by Sorel's Discours sur la Nouvelle Allegorique, an approving comparison of Sorel's invented kingdom of Sophie and Antoine Furetiere's earlier Nouvelle Allegorique, ou Histoire des derniers troubles arrivez au royaume de l'eloquence.

Dated in text December 20, 1659. Printed on one side only. 12 x 14 inches. Folded once in middle. Top half is explanatory text, lower half is list of the names of about 300 men who support the declaration. A one -inch wide strip along right side of the original is missing and has been very professionally repaired (repair appears to be at least 100 years old). The missing strip takes the final word from most but not all lines and second half of surnames in the final row on the lower half. Top margin slightly cropped so that the top of the A in title is missing top third. Otherwise broadside is good, no foxing and not much wear. Possibly removed from larger binding at some point in time. Text begins: Whereas by a wonderfull Revolution of the Divine Providence, those Members of the long Parliament which were stangely brought (May the 7, 1659) and as strangely outed by them (Octob. the 13, 1659), are now strangely returned to sit in the House as before, ....(etc) .

Nürnberg, haeredes Endterorum, 1659-60, Small 8vo, Contemp.vellum, a fine crisp copy, 219 p. including engraved frontispiece, (21) p., two engraved plates, folding letterpress table; 191, (8) p., 32 unnumbered lvs (last two blank). An attractively written elementary Hebrew grammar which offers the student the basics in six hours. Various short additamenta take him further with information on the alphabet, the Samaritan script, the Cabbala, Talmud, Masora, followed by reading exercises and a compendious lexicon which within each letter treats some five or six words in depth. A folding table details the subjects to be studied for each of the six hours. The second part offers instruction for five more hours on the intricacies of conjugation, followed by an appendicula de syntaxi and finally a dictionary of anomala with scriptural references. It contains also an exposition of the radix poem (II 185-191) with the text similar to PO 124b except for the last two lines which read: Tandem quicquid ab hoc exorbitat ordine; disces / usu: qui tibi in hac parte magister erit. The Atrium is the only Hebrew philological work of the prolific Nürnberg Professor of Theology Dilherr (1604-69), dedicated to the court physician and imperial historiographer J. W. Managetta. Both Fürst I 209 and Steinschneider BH 292-94 list three parts separately, but we actually only have one work in two parts (the second one with a drop title), the syllabus being the unpaginated appendix to part 2. The work is not listed in Paisey (BL). The plates illustrate the Samaritan alphabet, and Hebrew coins, not mentioned in Crown. Our copy has an intriguing ownership entry: Ferd. Alb. [Alberti?] Bremae in auctione 674 [1674].

Groningen, Frans Bronckhorst, 1659.. 8vo. Contemporary vellum, blue sprinkled edges. With woodcut printer's device on title. (16), 212 pp.. Rare original edition of this interesting, and early, scholarly research into the historicity of old stories, oral traditions and fables in general and the story of the well-known story of the Pied Piper of Hamelin (de rattenvanger van Hameln) and the subsequent exodus and disappearance of all the children from Hamelin, in Germany, which is alleged to have happened in the year 1282. The author also explains his views regarding the fable of the children's exodus, quoting numerous classical and modern historical sources. In part it is also an answer to the book by Samuel Erich, Exodus hamelensis: das ist, Der hämelischen kinder ausgang, which was published in 1655. A second edition of the Fabula appeared in Groningen in 1662.Martin Schoock (1614-1669), member of a patrician family from Utrecht, was sent to Franeker to study philosophy with Johannes Hachtingius and mathematics with Adrianus Metius, but soon he went to Leyden, where he continued to study philosophy with Burgersdijk and theology with Antonius Walaeus. He was a Gomarist and follower of Voetius and a fervent advocate of Aristotelian philosophy, even lending his name in 1643 to a strong attack on Descartes, of which Descartes at first thought that it was written by Voetius, and which then resulted in an official complaint addressed by Descartes to the Senate of the University of Groningen, where Schoock was professor of logic, ethics and physics from 1641 till 1666; at the end of his life he was appointed professor of history and historian to the Elector of Brandenburg at Frankfurt on the Oder. Schoockius wrote numerous books and papers on a wide variety of subjects, including a treatise on peat or pitch holding sods in 1658. His books, which often included fierce attacks on papacy, were forbidden by Rome in 1700. Fine copy, with old owner's ms. entry, O.J. Alberda, on first blank, dated 1728.

Así lo atestigua Adolfo de Castro en Poetas líricos de los siglos XVI y XVII (Biblioteca de Autores españoles, tomo II, pág. LXIII. Madrid, 1857): "Polo de Medina [.] era un poeta de vivísimo ingenio, incansable y feliz sobremanera en apodos y calificaciones. Tuvo por modelo en los romances satíricos á Góngora; sus epigramas son tan buenos como los de Baltasar del Alcázar, distinguiéndose por mas picantes en la sátira. En el estilo festivo en prosa imitó primero á Cervántes y luego á Quevedo, en el grave á don Diego de Saavedra. Sus obras fueron muy estimadas en su siglo y aun despues, como se prueba de las muchas ediciones que de ellas se hicieron." Partícipe de la literatura satírica propia de Góngora y Quevedo, su obra tuvo una importante repercusión en el panorama literario español y, durante el siglo pasado, fue estudiada a fondo por autores y críticos de la talla de Octavio Paz o José Manuel Blecua, entre otros.

Letterpress title-page within an engraved elaborate allegorical border with contemporary hand-color. 41engraved double page or folding sea and coastal charts, THE TITLE-PAGE AND ALL CHARTS RICHLY COLORED BY A CONTEMPORARY HAND, the maps in outline, the cartouches fully, title cartouches and embellishments HEIGHTED WITH GOLD (some light browning). FINE CONTEMPORARY DUTCH VELLUM, covers elaborately decorated in two panels with broad fillets of foliated roll tools, elaborate inner corner pieces and large central floral medallion, the spine decorated in seven compartments with small rose and fleur-de-lis tools, each with a broad border of foliated roll tool, yapp edges, remains of two pairs of silk ties, all edges gilt (one or two small stains. Expertly and recently repaired by James & Stuart Brockmann LTD. A full report is available upon request); modern clamshell box. FIRST COMPLETE EDITION OF ONE OF THE MOST AESTHETICALLY PLEASING EARLY DUTCH SEA ATLASES, and a FINE TALL COPY. Based on Hendrick Doncker's "Zee-Atlas" of 1659, particularly for its charts, and reprinted several times without much revision: 20 editions of this work were published between 1666 and 1683, a testament to its enduring popularity. The atlas was available with either 40 or 41 charts, the extra chart being the most desirable: "Paskaerte van de Zuydt en Noordt Revier in Nieu Nederlandt", present here. This is the first printed Dutch sea-chart to focus on the Dutch possessions in New York, showing the Dutch colony of New Amsterdam with the settlements on Manhattan, Staten Island and Long Island, south to Delaware Bay, and including the lower course of the Delaware River. The atlas also includes the celebrated chart "Paskaert van Nova Grenada, en t'Eylandt California", which is one of the two earliest Dutch printed charts to focus on the "island" of California. The other maps related to America are: "Paskaert zynde de noordelijckfte zeekulften van America" (coast of French and British Canada), "Pafcaerte vande vlaemfche, soute en caribeche" (Caribbean, South America, New France and New Netherland), " pas caerte van nien nederlandt en de engelfche virginies" (coast of Virginia, New jersey, New York, and New England), "pas kaerte van de zuydt en noordt revier in New Nederland" (New Jersey, New York including Manhattan), "pascaerte van west indien" (Carribean, Mexico, Central America, Southern U.S., Northern coast of South America), "pascaerte vande Caribes Eylanden" (Carribean), "Paskaerte van Brasil", "Paskaaerte van Het Zuydelijkfie van America" (Southern tip of South America), "Pascaerte van Nova Hispania, Chilia, Peru en Guatimala", "Pascaerte vande zuyd-zee tusche California". Goos was an accomplished engraver, and his great achievement was to create an aesthetically striking atlas to be consulted in a library environment. Goos's prospective clients were "Heeren en Kooplieden" (gentleman and merchants) before "Schippers en Stuurlieden" (pilots and seamen).

Martini, Martino
Sinicae historiae decas prima.
|
Amsterdam 1659 - Small octavo, pp. 413, [15]; a few woodcuts in the text. Written by a Jesuit who had spent some years in China and first published in 1658, this was 'the first serious attempt by a European to write Chinese history It contains a wealth of detail not only about the emperors and high officials, but also about Chinese religious and intellectual life, internal conflicts, and foreign relations. It provoked a rather heated controversy among European scholars, because according to Martini's calculations seven Chinese emperors had reigned before the generally accepted date of the biblical flood (2349 B.C.) in which all people on earth except Noah and his family were supposed to have drowned' (Lach & Van Kley I p. 527). Cordier BS 580; Löwendahl 121; Lust 412; Morrison II p. 453 Eighteenth-century calf, covers with a coat of arms (Anglesey?) stamped in blind; joints a little rubbed.
