CAMPANI, Giuseppe.
Discorso di Giuseppe Campani, intorno a' suoi muti oriuoli, alle nuove sfere Archimedee & ad un' altra rarissima, & utilissima inventione de personaggio cospicuo.
|
Roma, Francesco Moneta, 1660. - In-12, [dimension: 108 x 78 mm] de (16), 111 pp., 1 f. bl. Vélin. (Reliure de l'époque.) Première édition de cet ouvrage "d'une rareté légendaire" selon Weil. Les frères Matteo et Giuseppe Campani, maîtres horlogers romains, ont inventé une horloge à balancier, au même moment qu'Huygens, dont ils ne connaissaient pas les travaux. Le pape Alexandre VII leur avait commandé une horloge "muette", qui n'émette pas le tic-tac ordinaire et dont l'heure soit lisible même de nuit. "This little book is of particular interest, not on the account of the silent clocks, but because it describes the accidental invention by the author of a pendulum as applied to a clock, and adduces some evidence on the question of Huygens' priority in the application of the pendulum. (.) In trying different arrangements of balance, Giuseppe lengthened the arms of the balance and attached by wax two leaden weights at their ends. While he was watching the action, the upper weight fell off, leaving only the lower weight and, to his astonishment, the clock continued to work, with the balance out of equilibrium; further he found the going extremely regular. He then showed the clock to his brother, who remarked that it was a great invention, discovered accidentally, applicable to all kinds of clocks, and that it was in fact the pendulum discovered by Galileo Galilei for measuring accurately the time in his celestial observations. (.) I feel not doubt that Giuseppe did discover the application of a pendulum to a clock, without knowledge of Huygens' recent work." (Baillie). La "sphère d'Archimède" présentée à la fin du volume est l'instrument à mouvement perpétuel de Cornelius Drebbel offert à James 1er. Le seul exemplaire à notre connaissance, mis en vente au XXe siècle est celui du Dr. Weill vers 1960, qui est décrit "Contemp. limp vellum" et qui est probablement cet exemplaire. Bel exemplaire. Riccardi 1, 218 (ne cite que l'exemplaire de la Marciana). Weil, Catalogue 29 n°23 : "of legendary rarity" (probably this copy). Baillie, Clocks and watches, An historical bibliography pp. 59-60.

SAINCTOT (Nicolas de);
Cérémonial de Mr de Sainctot, 1660-1684.
|
4088 - 5 tomes en 3 volumes in-folio manuscrits de (3)-242 ff. ; (1)-213-(2)-(2)-171 ff. ; (2)-183-(3)-140 ff., tables, veau brun, dos orné à nerfs, tranches jaspées (reliure de l'époque). Ex-libris héraldique ancien. Superbe manuscrit calligraphié du cérémonial de Nicolas de Sainctot couvrant la période 1660-1684 en cinq parties : 1660-1665, 1666-1671, 1672-1677, 1679-1681, 1682-1684. Nicolas Sainctot (vers 1632-1713) fut pourvu de la charge de maître des cérémonies le 18 janvier 1655 ; le 23 août 1691, il vendit sa charge à Desgranges et acheta une moitié de celle d'introducteur des ambassadeurs. Il se démit de cette dernière le 9 décembre 1709 au profit de son deuxième fils Nicolas-Sixte dit le chevalier de Sainctot. Description des cérémonies extraordinaires, relations de lits de justices, baptêmes, bénédictions, fiançailles, enterrements, pompes funèbres, Te Deum, élections des prévôts, audiences aux députés et ambassadeurs, prestation de serment des échevins - ce recueil s'inscrit dans le prolongement du Cérémonial françois de Godefroy, « dont il constitue en quelque sorte l'application pratique, adaptée au cadre versaillais et aux usages du règne de Louis XIV » (Alexandre Maral, La chapelle royale de Versailles sous Louis XIV: cérémonial, liturgie et musique). C'est durant ce règne que « le cérémonial passe au premier plan, et il exprime tout le système de conventions définissant l'autorité publique. Régler l'ordonnance des cérémonies royales devient l'affaire de professionnels, le grand maître des cérémonies, le maître et l'aide aux cérémonies. Les documents laissés par Nicolas Sainctot illustrent le formidable développement de cet office. Les maîtres de cérémonies reçoivent les ordres du roi pour le Lit de justice, distribuent les convocations, dressent des plans précis de la disposition des sièges, règlent le déroulement de l'assemblée, conservent un compte rendu des séances en un lieu nouvellement prévu à cet effet et soumettent au roi à sa demande des mémoires sur le protocole » (Sarah Hanley Madden, L'idéologie constitutionnelle en France : le lit de justice. 1982). Très beau document qui reprend une partie des quatre volumes du manuscrit original conservés à la B.N.F. sous les références Ms français 14117 à 14120. Catalogue général des manuscrits des bibliothèques publiques de France de Paris, Bibliothèque Victor Cousin, Paris. Bibliothèque (1918) p. 100 ; Saffroy, (I, 15114) indique 7 volumes de 1660 à 1691. Bel exemplaire.

Tales and Jests of Hugh Peters
|
J. Sabin and Sons, New York, London - 63 p. Includes: illustrations, index. Published originally in 1660, "Tales and Jest of Hugh Peters" was published by Peter's enemies after his imprisonment in the Tower of London and subsequent execution. The point of this little volume was to sabotage Peters' reputation. Peters was a Puritan preacher associated with Oliver Cromwell who got caught up in the English Civil War and paid the ultimate price. This volume does not have a date on it, but an ad mentions the Buckingham Street office of Sabin and Sons, which was established in 1870. The best guess is that this was published about 1875. Spine and and corners are covered in blue leather with colorful boards and end pages. [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Lactantius, Lucius Caecilius Firmianus (Lactantii, Lucii Coelii Firmiani)
Opera Quae Extant
|
Lugduni Batavorum (Leiden): Franciscum Hackium and Petrum Leffen, 1660 [32], 938pp, [80], full contemporary vellum, title and author in manuscript to head of spine. Vellum grubby, especially spine, internally some minor browning, but generally fairly clean. Engraved title. "A Christian apologist of the fourth century ... Lactantius was born a pagan and in his early life taught rhetoric in his native place ... He well merits the designation of the "Christian Cicero" bestowed on him by the humanists, for he exhibits many of the shortcomings as well as the graces of his master" (Catholic Encyclopaedia). The authorship of the poem De Phoenice (p. 904-923) formerly much disputed, is now generally ascribed to Lactantius;a the poem De Pascha (p. 924-934) is by Venantius Fortunatus; the Carmen de Passione Domini (p. 935-938) has been wrongly ascribed to Lactantius (Notes from the Open Library). Reprint. Full Vellum. Good. 8vo.

Andreas Cellarius
Situs Terrae Circulis Coelestibus Circundatae . . .
|
Striking old color celestial chart, showing a Ptolemaic model of the Universe, with the earth in its relation to the plane of the ecliptic, from Cellarius' Harmonia Macrocosmica seu Atlas Universalis et Novus. The map is centered on Australia and the Pacific, and extends to the Indian Ocean in the West and California as an Island in the East. The map also shows the zodiac band and horizon lines. Andreas Cellarius Harmonia Macrocosmica (first published in 1660) is generally regarded as one of the most spectacular cosmographical atlases that was published in the second half of the seventeenth century. The atlas was published in 1660 and 1661 by the Amsterdam publisher Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664), as a cosmographical supplement to his Atlas Novus. Andreas Cellarius had already started working on this atlas before 1647 and intended it to be a historical introduction for a two-volume treatise on cosmography but the second part was never published. The plates of his Harmonia Macrocosmica were reprinted (without the Latin commentary) in 1708 by the Amsterdam publishers Gerard Valk (1651-1726) and Peter Schenk (1660-1711).

Amsterdam, J.J. Schipper, 1660.. 6 parts in 1 vol. Folio. Contemporary vellum with six raised bands and title and author's name in manuscript on spine. With 4 richly engraved titles, and 250 full-page fine engraved plates, showing all kinds of animals, birds, fishes, reptiles, etc., including legendary ones. (10), 194; (8), 179, (1), 56; 181, (3); (8), 152; 39, (1) pp.. First and only, very important Dutch edition of a curious and comprehensive zoological work by John Jonston (1603-1675), richly illustrated with excellent copper-engravings. The work is divided into 4 main parts. The first part is devoted to the mammals and illustrated with numerous beautifully designed animals on 80 plates, including a unicorn. The second part treats the fishes with numerous illustrations of all kinds of fishes on 48 plates, one more than in the first Latin edition, depicting the sea unicorn, with an extra leaf of explanatory text added as well. To this part a sub-part on other sea-animals, like shell-fishes, polyps, etc. is added, with 20 plates. The third part is devoted to the birds, beautifully illustrated on 62 plates. The fourth and last main part then treats insects, including butterflies, with numerous specimen depicted on 28 plates, and to this part again a sub-part is added on snakes and dragons, illustrated on 12 plates. The Dutch edition was presented to the Japanese ruler Shogun Yoshimune, and it became the only source of knowledge of western zoology in Japan, until in 1750 Jonston was succeeded by an extensive twelve volume compilation, made by the Japanese physicians from a variety of Dutch sources. Even that compilation, according to Boxer, still heavily leaned on Johnston's magnum opus. Good copy.- (Small tear in title page, tear restored plate 29).

Stampati in Cosmopoli [Leyde, Jean Elzevier], 1660 In-12 de 541 pp., 1 f. bl., 38 pp., veau havane,dos à nerfs, tranches mouchetées (reliure de l'époque). "Edition la plus belle et la plus recherchée dit Brunet (I, 412). C'est la première donnée par les Elzevier. Il existe une seconde édition, moins bien imprimée, qui se distingue notamment par la forme des ""z"" dans les notes marginales (voir la longue notice de Willems). Sous la forme d'un dialogue entre une femme d'expérience et une jeune fille, l'Arétin dresse un tableau cru, cynique, des escroqueries qui font de la prostitution un métier lucratif. Au final, le bilan est clair : seul l'amour vénal garantira un avenir à la jeune fille. ""Pierre l'Arétin"" disait Maupassant, ""fut tout simplement un journaliste, un journaliste italien du XVIe siècle, un grand homme, un admirable sceptique, un prodigieux contempteur de rois, le plus surprenant des aventuriers, qui sut jouer, en maître artiste, de toutes les faiblesses, de tous les vices, de tous les ridicules de l'humanité, un parvenu de génie doué de toutes les qualités natives qui permettent à un être de faire son chemin par tous les moyens, d'obtenir tous les succès, et d'être redouté, loué et respecté à l'égal d'un Dieu, malgré les audaces les plus éhontées. Ce compatriote de Machiavel et des Borgia semble être le type vivant de Panurge qui réunit en lui toutes les bassesses et toutes les ruses, mais qui possède à un tel point l'art d'utiliser ces défauts répugnants qu'il impose le respect et commande l'admiration."" Comme il se doit, l'exemplaire est bien complet de la Puttana errante, ici en seconde édition dont le style beaucoup plus cru que celui des Ragionamenti a fait beaucoup pour la réputation sulfureuse de l'un des premiers défricheurs modernes de la littérature érotique.

Early Emblems of Divine Love)
Amoris Divini Emblemata (Emblems of Divine Love).
|
- Antwerp: Christopher Plantin and Balthasar Moretus, based on the work of Otho van Veen (Vaenius, the Latinized version of the name), 1660. Second edition (first edition was 1615Ñthey sure waited a long time for the second edition; this 1660 edition is highly important and is found in institutions and major collections). 4to. All edges tinted red. Bound in full leather (relatively recentÑat least relative to 1660) with color leather paste label on spine with title and translation. 128 numbered pages plus added endpapers from the binding project. The pages are in clean, lovely condition (some faint marginal water staining on a few pages at the back) and the full page pictures are just stunning. There are sixty full-page engravings and an additional engraving on the title page. There is a long and rich history to emblem books that goes back mostly to the 16thÐ18th centuries and this is one of the best known examples of the genre. The text is in Latin, Dutch, French, and Spanish This particular set of emblems is organized around the relationship between the individual and their soul, both represented as children (hence the omnipresent cherubs throughout the images). We tend to think that we moderns have a unique perspective and wisdom about the big questions of the universe but in fact, that is hubris as many great thinkers and artists struggled with these same issues long ago. The engravings are beautiful with a delicate harmony reflective of van VeenÕs style which was certainly classically inspired. Otho van Veen (1556Ð1629) was the professor of P. P. Rubens and was highly regarded in his time, especially for works of an allegorical nature, and he had several highly prestigious appointments and positions during his lifetime. A striking book from another era that serves to underscore the continuity of lives and views of the universe. First Edition.

His work attracted the admiration and patronage of the Archduke Albert, who succeeded the Prince of Parma in the government of the Low Countries.

Vellum grubby, especially spine, internally some minor browning, but generally fairly clean. Engraved title. "A Christian apologist of the fourth century . Lactantius was born a pagan and in his early life taught rhetoric in his native place . He well merits the designation of the "Christian Cicero" bestowed on him by the humanists, for he exhibits many of the shortcomings as well as the graces of his master" (Catholic Encyclopaedia). The authorship of the poem De Phoenice (p. 904-923) formerly much disputed, is now generally ascribed to Lactantius;a the poem De Pascha (p. 924-934) is by Venantius Fortunatus; the Carmen de Passione Domini (p. 935-938) has been wrongly ascribed to Lactantius (Notes from the Open Library) [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Grenoble, Philippe Charuys, 1660 ; in-4 ; plein vélin ivoire muet (reliure de l'époque) ; 166 pp., (1) f. blanc, portrait gravé à l'eau-forte en frontispice. EDITION ORIGINALE. Antoine Boniel de Catilhon était le neveu de Claude Expilly qui avait épousé Isabeau de Catilhon. Exemplaire de M. Perrin, avocat à Grenoble, à qui il a été offert par Gasparde Expilly, fille de Claude et veuve en secondes noces de Claude de Fassion, sieur de Brion qui succéda à Claude Expilly dans sa charge d'avocat-général puis de Président du Parlement, selon une note manuscrite signée de sa main et datée de juin 1661 ; puis de Monsieur Duclos du Vernay, Trésorier de France en sa généralité de Dauphiné, qui était le petit neveu de feu M. Perrin, dont il hérita (note de sa main datée de Miribel -dans l'Ain-, le 18 août 1734). Né à Voiron (1561-1636), magistrat et poète, il fit ses études au collège des Jésuites de Tournon puis à Paris, où il fit son droit ; après un long voyage en Italie où il fréquenta pas mal de savants, il reçut son bonnet de docteur des mains de Cujas, un des plus fameux juristes de son temps. Reçu avocat en Parlement de Grenoble en 1583, il fit de brillants débuts, se lia avec Lesdiguières dont il fut un fidèle compagnon et devint Procureur Général à la Chambre des Comptes en 1595, puis avocat général en Parlement de Dauphiné. À ces différents postes, il avait pu mettre en pratique son grand sens de la diplomatie et ses grandes connaissances du droit. En 1608, il fit paraitre son célèbre "Plaidoyez de M. Claude Expilly...". Il participa aux négociations pour fixer les limites précises de la Savoie et du Dauphiné puis du Comtat-Venaissin. Très bon exemplaire.

Mark S. Dawson
Gentility and the Comic Theatre of Late Stuart London
|
Cambridge University Press. 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. Where Adam delved and Eve span Who was then the gentleman? Mark Dawson's approach to this riddle is not to study the lives of those said to belong to early modern England's gentry. He suggests we remain skeptical of all answers to this question and consider what was at stake whenever it was posed. We should conceive of gentility as a mutable process of social delineation. Gentility was a matter of power and language; cultural definition and social domination. Neither consistently defined nor applied to particular social groups, gentility was about identifying society's elite. The book examines how gentility was portrayed through plays at London's theatres (1660? ? ? 1725). Employing a rich assembly of sources, comedies with their cits and fops, periodicals, correspondence of theatre patrons and polemic from its detractors, Dawson revises several of social history's conclusions about the gentry and offers new interpretations to students of late Stuart drama.

(10), 194; (8), 179, (1), 56; 181, (3); (8), 152; 39, (1) pp. First and only, very important Dutch edition of a curious and comprehensive zoological work by John Jonston (1603-1675), richly illustrated with excellent copper-engravings. The work is divided into 4 main parts. The first part is devoted to the mammals and illustrated with numerous beautifully designed animals on 80 plates, including a unicorn. The second part treats the fishes with numerous illustrations of all kinds of fishes on 48 plates, one more than in the first Latin edition, depicting the sea unicorn, with an extra leaf of explanatory text added as well. To this part a sub-part on other sea-animals, like shell-fishes, polyps, etc. is added, with 20 plates. The third part is devoted to the birds, beautifully illustrated on 62 plates. The fourth and last main part then treats insects, including butterflies, with numerous specimen depicted on 28 plates, and to this part again a sub-part is added on snakes and dragons, illustrated on 12 plates. The Dutch edition was presented to the Japanese ruler Shogun Yoshimune, and it became the only source of knowledge of western zoology in Japan, until in 1750 Jonston was succeeded by an extensive twelve volume compilation, made by the Japanese physicians from a variety of Dutch sources. Even that compilation, according to Boxer, still heavily leaned on Johnston's magnum opus. Good copy.- (Small tear in title page, tear restored plate 29).

J.J. Schipper, 1660., Amsterdam, - 6 parts in 1 vol. Folio. Contemporary vellum with six raised bands and title and author's name in manuscript on spine. With 4 richly engraved titles, and 250 full-page fine engraved plates, showing all kinds of animals, birds, fishes, reptiles, etc., including legendary ones. (10), 194; (8), 179, (1), 56; 181, (3); (8), 152; 39, (1) pp. First and only, very important Dutch edition of a curious and comprehensive zoological work by John Jonston (1603-1675), richly illustrated with excellent copper-engravings. The work is divided into 4 main parts. The first part is devoted to the mammals and illustrated with numerous beautifully designed animals on 80 plates, including a unicorn. The second part treats the fishes with numerous illustrations of all kinds of fishes on 48 plates, one more than in the first Latin edition, depicting the sea unicorn, with an extra leaf of explanatory text added as well. To this part a sub-part on other sea-animals, like shell-fishes, polyps, etc. is added, with 20 plates. The third part is devoted to the birds, beautifully illustrated on 62 plates. The fourth and last main part then treats insects, including butterflies, with numerous specimen depicted on 28 plates, and to this part again a sub-part is added on snakes and dragons, illustrated on 12 plates. The Dutch edition was presented to the Japanese ruler Shogun Yoshimune, and it became the only source of knowledge of western zoology in Japan, until in 1750 Jonston was succeeded by an extensive twelve volume compilation, made by the Japanese physicians from a variety of Dutch sources. Even that compilation, according to Boxer, still heavily leaned on Johnston's magnum opus. Good copy.- (Small tear in title page, tear restored plate 29).

MAHAN, Alfred Thayer (1840-1914; American naval officer and historian)
Making arrangements for a visit to Boston, in an autograph letter, signed 17 January 1898, to "Mr. Ropes."
|
8vo. Two pages, approximately 100 words, in part: "Unless you have contemplated other arrangements, I should like to reserve my lunch hour for friends or other engagements in Boston as I cannot foresee just how my time may be occupied with them." Mahan saw duty in the Civil War as a young naval officer and continued that career for two decades before publishing his groundbreaking analysis The Influence of Sea Power upon History, 1660-1783 in 1890 (One Hundred Influential American Books 93: "The first philosophy of sea power"). His intentions were here imparted to John Codman Ropes (1836-1899), also a military historian, published the influential Campaign of Waterloo and a number of volumes on the American Civil War. Folded as for mailing. Very good. (1233)

L!histoire du Cardinal Dvc de Richeliev par le Sievr Avbery advocat av parlement & aux conseils du Roy
|
Paris:: Antoine Bertier. 1660. hardcover. 2. Large 4to. [20], 628, [26] pp. Engraved frontis., red and black title-page with large printer!s device. Contemporary full brown mottled calf, raised bands, gilt-stamped spine panels and title; front hinge beginning to split, cords holding firm, extremities scratched, corners showing. Contemporary ink ownership marks on title-page. Very good. . FIRST EDITION. This history of Cardinal Richelieu is by the French historian Antoine Aubery. The son of a Parisian landlord, Aubery became a lawyer in the French Parliament. Very scholarly, he was one of the official writers and apologists to the Court of France in the 18th century. Aubery was the author of many historical works, including Histoire generale des cadinaux (1642) and Memoires pour servir a l!histoire du cardinal duc de Richelieu (1660). The fine, large (305 x 218 mm) engraved frontispiece of Richelieu was executed by Aegid [Giles] Rousselet (1610-1686). The Cardinal de Richelieu was often known by the title of the King!s !Chief Minister! or !First Minister!. As a result, he is sometimes considered to be the world!s first Prime Minister, in the modern sense of the term. He sought to consolidate royal power and crush domestic factions. By restraining the power of the nobility, he transformed France into a strong, centralized state. His chief foreign policy objective was to check the power of the Austro-Spanish Habsburg dynasty. Although he was a cardinal, he did not hesitate to make alliances with Protestant rulers in attempting to achieve this goal. His tenure was marked by the Thirty Years! War that engulfed Europe. Richelieu was also famous for his patronage of the arts; most notably, he founded the Academie Francaise, the learned society responsible for matters pertaining to the French language. Richelieu is also known by the sobriquet l!Eminence rouge (!the Red Eminence!), from the red shade of a cardinal!s vestments and the style !eminence! as a cardinal.

CAMPANI, Giuseppe.
Discorso di Giuseppe Campani, intorno a' suoi muti oriuoli, alle nuove sfere Archimedee & ad un' altra rarissima, & utilissima inventione de personaggio cospicuo.
|
Roma, Francesco Moneta, 1660. In-12, [dimension: 108 x 78 mm] de (16), 111 pp., 1 f. bl. Vélin. (Reliure de l'époque.) Première édition de cet ouvrage "d'une rareté légendaire" selon Weil. Les frères Matteo et Giuseppe Campani, maîtres horlogers romains, ont inventé une horloge à balancier, au même moment qu'Huygens, dont ils ne connaissaient pas les travaux. Le pape Alexandre VII leur avait commandé une horloge "muette", qui n'émette pas le tic-tac ordinaire et dont l'heure soit lisible même de nuit. "This little book is of particular interest, not on the account of the silent clocks, but because it describes the accidental invention by the author of a pendulum as applied to a clock, and adduces some evidence on the question of Huygens' priority in the application of the pendulum. (...) In trying different arrangements of balance, Giuseppe lenghtened the arms of the balance and attached by wax two leaden weignts at their ends. While he was watching the action, the upper weight fell off, leaving only the lower weight and, to his astonishment, the clock containued to work, with the balance out of equilibrium; further he found the going extremely regular. He then showed the clock to his brother, who remarked that it was a great invention, discovered accidentally, applicable to all kinds of clocks, and that it was in fact the pendulum discovered by Galileo Galilei for measuring accurately the time in his celestial observations. (...) I feel not doubt that Giuseppe did discover the application of a pendulum to a clock, without knowledge of Huygens' recent work." (Baillie). La "sphère d'Archimède" présentée à la fin du volume est l'instrument à mouvement perpétuel de Cornelius Drebbel offert à James 1er. Le seul exemplaire à notre connaissance, mis en vente au XXe siècle est celui du Dr. Weill vers 1960, qui est décrit "Contemp. limp vellum" et qui est probablement cet exemplaire. Bel exemplaire. Riccardi 1, 218 (ne cite que l'exemplaire de la Marciana). Weil, Catalogue 29 n°23 : "of legendary rarity" (probably this copy). Baillie, Clocks and watches, An historical bibliography pp. 59-60.

Josef Köstlbauer: Quellenautopsie "Martin Meyer (1659)", in: Europabegriffe und Europavorstellungen im 17. Jahrhundert. Web-Projekt, Wolfgang Schmale (Dir.): "Das "Diarium Europaeum" erschien kontinuierlich 34 Jahre lang, von 1659 bis 1683, und umfasste zum Zeitpunkt seiner Einstellung 45 Bände. Dieses beinahe schon monumental zu nennende Werk lässt sich am besten mit den Worten seines ursprünglichen Autors Martin Meyer als "tägliche Geschichts=Erzählung" charakterisieren, in der sämtliche nennenswerte Ereignisse vom Jänner 1657 bis zum Dezember 1681 Tag für Tag, Woche für Woche, Monat für Monat aufgelistet und beschrieben werden. Im Vorwort zum ersten Band erklärt der Autor, sein Diarium richte sich an den "Geschicht=liebenden Leser", "zu Vermehrung der Geschichten Wissenschaft/ Belustigung des Gemühts/ und Verkürtzung der Zeit". Das Diarium vereint also in sich die Funktionen einer Chronik und eines Nachrichtenmagazins, da aktuelle oder rezente Ereignisse einerseits veröffentlicht und andererseits zwischen den Buchdeckeln für die Nachwelt archiviert werden. Dem Leser bietet sich eine Fülle an Inhalten: "Vornehme und wichtige Reichs=Sachen und Handlungen" werden ebenso beschrieben wie der Verlauf von Feldzügen, Schlachten und Scharmützeln, Belagerungen und Plünderungen von Städten, Schlössern und Festungen. Dabei werden vor allem Mannschaftsstärken und Verluste der beteiligten Parteien minutiös festgehalten. Aber auch Gesellschaftsmeldungen über Ernennungen, Gesandtschaftsantritte, Teilnehmer von Reichstagen, Heiraten und Mesalliancen, Todesfälle, Kleiderordnungen, Straftaten, Urteile und Exekutionen fehlen nicht. (...) Sowohl in die chronologische Berichterstattung eingestreut, als auch in umfangreichen Appendices am Ende der Bände zusammengefasst sind zahlreiche Texte aus allen Teilen Europas, die nahezu das gesamte Spektrum neuzeitlicher Schriftlichkeit umfassen: Verträge, Korrespondenzen, Berichte, Herrschergenealogien, Traktate und Diskurse, Sonette, Gebete, juristische Gutachten etc. (...) Ursprünglich in fremden Sprachen verfasste Schriften sind ausnahmslos übersetzt. Was das Diarium dabei zu einer besonders wertvollen Quelle erhebt ist der Umstand, dass sich die Verleger in vielen Fällen die Mühe machten, Originaltext und Übersetzung neben- oder nacheinander abzudrucken. Erstens weist dies ganz deutlich auf die Intention des Autors hin, einen Bildungsauftrag gegenüber seinem Publikum wahrzunehmen, indem auch einer weniger gelehrten Leserschaft Dokumente von Bedeutung zugänglich gemacht werden und zweitens drückt sich in der Gegenüberstellung von Original und Übersetzung eine Auffassung von (Geschichts-)Wissenschaft aus, die ihre Mission in der redlichen Wiedergabe sieht und sich mehr der Archivierung und Edition, als der Interpretation verpflichtet fühlt.(...) Trotz dem oft chaotisch erscheinenden Nebeneinander von Nachrichten und Texten verschiedenster Provenienz und Qualität ist das "Diarium Europaeum" in mehrfacher Hinsicht eine faszinierende historische Quelle. Einerseits ist hier eine Unzahl politischer und gesellschaftlicher Ereignisse und Aktivitäten im Detail festgehalten, andererseits wird das breite Spektrum der Wahrnehmungswelten in der zweiten Hälfte des 17. Jahrhunderts dokumentiert." Alle Rechte dieser Analyse und Darstellung beim Autor Josef Köstbauer, von uns auszugsweise zitiert nach o.a. Interneteintrag].

The first 28 pages (14 leaves) of the un-numbered preliminary section are damaged at the top edge with loss. About 15% of the title page is lacking, and the percentage reduces with each page; it appears to be some sort of gouging, or it could be old vermin damage. With the exception of one page with an illegible name written in the margin, the remainder of the text is quite clean and attractive.

LE MOYNE (Pierre)
Lettre héroïque à Monseigneur le Prince sur son retour.
|
Paris, François Muguet et Jean Guignard 1660 - in-4, 19 pp., en feuilles.Surcharges manuscrites anciennes en marge, extrêmement critiques. Les négociations de Philippe IV en sa faveur lors du Traité des Pyrénées avaient plus retardé que facilité le retour du Prince de Condé en France après sa longue période de révolte : réintégré dans ses biens en 1659, ce ne fut que le 27 janvier 1660 qu'il se présenta à Louis XIV en revenant de Bruxelles. Le pardon royal assuré ne signifia pas la fin de la méfiance, et le souverain commença par le limiter à des fonctions représentatives. Cette pièce du poète jésuite Le Moyne, si elle n'ajoute rien à la gloire du Prince, illustre et documente ce moment de réconciliation politique. Cioranescu, XVII, 42386.
