Il Mercurio Postiglione, di questo, e l'Altro Mondo
|
In Villa - Franca Appresso Claudio del Monte (Warnaer) 1667 - In 24° (cm 7,5 x 13,2), legatura in piena pelle coeva, con segni d'uso, aspotaz. alla cuffia inf., titoli e fregi in oro al dorso, pp 120, fregio inciso al frontespizio, esemplare in buone condizioni, lievi bruniture uniformi, alla sguardia antica annotazione incollata su foglietto in francese con appunti sull'opera: ". reliure de l'époque, aux lys de France." "Può esser meretrice una figliuola d'un re?". Delizioso, graffiante pamphlet attribuito a Gregorio Leti (cfr. Librinlinea, Biblioteche Piemontesi On Line), nonchè anche al terribile Ferrante Pallavicino (1615-1644). Invece, per Brunet: "Imprimé en [Amsterdam?] Hollande, est attribué à un comte Rossi, natif de Parme."; "Dictionnaire des ouvrages anonymes", col. 172. In realtà pubblicato ad Amsterdam da P. Warnaer (cfr. Rahir, "Catalogue de livres imprimés par les Elzevier", p. 261, n. 2319), opera ancora all'Indice nel 1948: dialogo tra Mercurio e Momo, la follia presente anche nell'"Encomium Moriae" erasmiano, intercalato da parodistiche epistole di personaggi celebri del tempo: Gustavo di Svezia alla figlia, la "meretrice" Cristina; Fouquet, il "Surintendant" vittima del "Re Sole"; Madama Reale Cristina di Francia, Reggente degli Stati Sabaudi, con riferimenti alla Venaria e ad una fortezza "al di qua da' monti" ceduta a Luigi; la "lettera" immaginaria comanda di imporre nuovi dazi e gabelle, piccoli e grandi; rivendica a se sola il diritto di decidere in materia di civile e criminale giustizia. Curiosi i maneggi del duca "tenuto nell'infantia" da una madre che vuol giocare eternamente il ruolo augusto che non le spetta, di "Genitore". Per ingannare i mariti delle dame che seduce: li invita 'in un villaggio alquanto da Turino lontano", li inebria, e va a cavallo raggiungere la moglie di costoro, indisturbato.Un curioso marchingegno si trova a palazzo: la dama esce dalla presenza di Cristina, si infila prestamente in un camino che contiene una sedia, il suo peso quando vi è installata fa agire uncontrappeso che la solleva fino a un ammezzato ove trovasi il duca in attesa. Cristina è al corrente, e incoraggia il figlio in queste "frivole dolcezze. acciocchè non pensi al gusto di comandar nei suoi stati". C'è anche una figura di "eunuco castrato', che il duca ama e che spesso è suo rivale nelle erotiche frequenti vicissitudini di questi. Cristina è paragonata a Agrippina nella smania di potere, per conservare il quale non esita ad impiegare esilio, confino, ostracismo, e financo il "perpetuo sonno". Sei esemplari censiti in SBN. Willems, Les Elzevier, p. 479, n. 1774; 596. Murray, Catalogue, 1452.

E[VELYN], J[OHN]
PUBLICK EMPLOYMENT AND AN ACTIVE LIFE PREFER'D TO SOLITUDE, AND ALL ITS APPANAGES, SUCH AS FAME, COMMAND, RICHES, CONVERSATION, &C
|
London: Printed by J.M. for H. Herringman, 1667. FIRST EDITION, First Issue (without the errata slip found below the imprimatur in the second issue).. Thin diagonal crack across spine in one place, lower joint with one-inch crack at bottom, corners rather worn and paper covers rather chafed, as expected, but the fragile binding still solid and really quite appealing as a remarkable survival. Final leaf a trifle foxed in upper margin, but AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY INTERNALLY, unusually fresh, clean, and bright, and with deep impressions of the type.. London: Printed by J.M. for H. Herringman, 1667. 154 x 95 mm. (6 x 3 3/4"). Front pastedown with with small embossed armorial stamp of the Macclesfield Library and front pastedown with matching armorial Macclesfield bookplate. Front flyleaf with three-line annotation in an early hand. Keynes 85; Wing E-3510. Best known as a diarist and as founder of the Royal Society, Evelyn (1620-1706) published a number of important books (either original works or translations from the French) on architecture, arboriculture, gardening, and navigation. The present work is a cordial attack, made without passion, on George Mackenzie's A Moral Essay Preferring Solitude to Publick Employment, published in 1665. As Keynes indicates, Evelyn and Mackenzie were congenial adversaries in the debate over the best way to lead one's life, partly because Evelyn was of two minds about the matter. Keynes says, Evelyn's advocacy of an active life might seem at variance with his known delight in country solitude and pursuits, and in truth his attack upon Mackenzie is but a half-hearted affair. In any case, the book is worth reading, if only for the amusing caricatures of country pleasures and types. Surprisingly, ABPC lists just two copies of this work other than ours at auction during the past 20 years. The internal condition here is remarkably fine, as is typical of many books from the library of the Earl of Macclesfield. Early (probably 18th century) inexpensive (perhaps even temporary) vellum-backed marbled paper boards, small paper label at bottom of spine.

Thomas Matthias Götzens, Franckfurt 1667 - Modern full morocco gilt in an antique style of the period 8vo . FIRST EDITION of this very rare collection of three alchemical texts. "Contains some very curious pictorial symbols" (Duveen). The Opera Vegetabilia (pp. 161-316) and the tract by Sendivogius' servant (pp. 319-381) have separate title-pages. "The 'Philosophical Hand,' engraving and name, was adopted by a certain Justus Simplicius Hortulanus for a tract on the philosopher's stone, which see [verso of title-page]. The difference is that while Hollandus uses certain pictorial symbols of his own in the engraving, he gives the ordinary chemical symbols for the salts intended in the text, and it is these which are used by Hortulanus" (Ferguson). The second work is attributed to Michal Sedziwój (ca. 1556-ca. 1646.) and has its own title: Ein überauss Kostlicher Philosoph. Tractat which deals with various alchemical processes including transmutation. The preface to the Opus vegetabile purports to be from a manuscript written by Hollandus himself (p. 170). It is believed that the works attributed to Holland actually belong to two people; a father and son named Johann Isaac and Isaac. Ferguson in his Bibliotheca Chemica was uncertain as to the period and authorship of the Hollandus literature, however, more recent historians of early chemistry have ascertained that the works attributed to the supposed father and son are post-Paracelsan (see Stillman's History of Alchemy and Partington for a detail discussion). The Hollandus works were highly praised by Boyle, Glauber, Kunckel, and Boerhaave. He was said to have been skillful in enameling and in imitating precious stones with Antonio Neri, in his treatise on glassmaking of 1612, referring to "this method of imitating gems which I received (or obtained) from Isaac Hollandus when I was in Flanders." Ben Johnson, in the Alchemist (London; 1610), states: "The spirit of dead Holland, living Isaac you'ld swear were in him." This suggests that Johann Isaac was still living in 1610. The OCLC locates only two copies (one is the Duveen-Neu copy = University of Wisconsin). Beautifully illustrated with text engravings of alchemical instruments (full-page illustration on verso of title) and symbols as well as some woodcuts 384 (i.e. 382) pp. With 16 text woodcuts and 12 engravings (2 full-page) of alchemical equipment and symbols. § VD17 39:116939A; Ferguson I, 413; Duveen 301; Bolton I, 993-94; Gmelin I, 129; Neu 2075; Partington II, pp. 203-208; Stillman pp. 368 ff.; not in Neville Collection.

MERRETT, Christopher
Pinax rerum naturalium britannicarum, continens vegetabilia, animalia, et fossilia in hac insula reperta inchoatus.
|
typis T. Roycroft,, London 1667 - Modern calf in an antique style 8vo . Second edition, first issue (& first available) of "The earliest attempt at a classification of the animals, plants, and minerals of Great Britain. Merrett (1614-1695), physician, writer, and original member of the Royal Society, was the first curator of the museum and library given by William Harvey to the Royal College of Physicians. He contributed to some of Robert Boyle's works and in 1662 translated into English Neri's great book of 1612 on the manufacture of glass. The Pinax, Merrett's main work, was written because William How's Phytologia Britannica (London, 1650) was out of print. The botanical section (165 pp.) lists over 1,400 species arranged alphabetically, with synonyms from Gerard, Parkinson, Turner, et al. The section on birds (pp. 170-184) is the first detailed list of British birds ever published. The 'Pinax will always rank as one of the most important milestones . of the natural history of this country as if was the first attempt to provide a catalogue of the native species' (Lisney, Bibliop. British Lepidoptera, 43). In the Epistola Merrett discusses chemical principles and condemns alchemy. Almost all copies of the first edition (printed Aug. 1666) were destroyed in the Great Fire of London (2-6 September 1666). The author corrected the first edition and had it reprinted (as here) with the date in Roman numerals. Some copies were reissued later in 1667 with a cancel title, dated in Arabic numerals, and 'Editio secunda' added" (Neville Collection II, 165-6). [32], 223, [1] pp. Tiny repair to blank margin of title-page. 2 woodcut folding plates. § DSB, IX, 313; Ferchl, 353-4; Henrey 98-100; Keynes, 3233; Krivatsey, 7831; Partington II, 368; Thorndike, VIII, 69; Wing M1840.

(Leti, Gregorio)
Conclavi de' Pontefici romani Quali si sono potuti trovare sin à questo giorno
|
s.l., s. e., MDCLXVIIIIn 24° (cm 7 x 13), legatura piena pelle coeva, pp (8), 880, esemplare in buone condizioni malgrado mancanze alle cuffie, difetti alle cerniere e minuscoli forellini di tarlo: 3 fino a pagina 61, poi 2 fino a pagina 109, poi uno fino a pagina 791, talvolta con perdita di una o mezza lettera. Antiporta incisa in rame raffigurante le guardie pontificie davanti alle porte serrate con chiavistello, del palazzo ove si svolge il conclave. Seconda edizione (la prima, sempre anonima, s. l. e s. e., 1667) pubblicata ad Amsterdam, probabilmente da Daniele Elzevier, comprendente i Conclavi dei Pontefici da Clemente V (eletto nel 1305) a Alessandro VII (1655), ad opera del Leti (1630-1701), A. di un gran numero di scritti anticattolici, di denuncia di abusi, intrighi e dissolutezza della corte papale, convertito al calvinismo ma processato anche dai protestanti per le sue idee sovversive, bandito da Italia e Inghilterra, la cui "Opera omnia" fu messa all'Index nel 1709. Di questo testo documentatissimo benchè ideologicamente di parte, si sono serviti gli storici moderni, (Piantanida cita il Gregorovius). La prosa è avvincente, unendo a un circostanziato resoconto di fatti anche minuti, corredati di data e ora, continui attacchi, velati e scoperti, irridenti e sprezzanti verso ogni membro del Sacro Collegio di ogni epoca. Due esemplari censiti in SBN. Melzi, Vol. I, p. 238; NUC vol. 118, p. 434; Bruni-Evans, Italian 17th Century Books in Cambridge Libraries, p. 185, n. 2935.

Wichtig vor allem wegen der Beschreibung und Abbildung der 1625 gefundenen "Nestorianischen Tafel", die in chinesischer und syrischer ("chaldäischer") Schrift bezeugt, dass in China schon 781 das Christentum gepredigt wurde. Aber auch wegen der ersten Beschreibung des Sanskrit, die Heinrich Roth 1664 von Asien nach Europa brachte und Kircher für "China Illustrata" zur Verfügung stellte.

Kaum ein Werk des Barock berichtet derart dezidiert über die chinesischen Schriftzeichen und deren Unterschiede zu den ägyptischen "hieroglyphae", zum Syrischen, "Chaldäischen" oder Sanskrit, illustriert durch zahlreiche Schrifttafeln und in den Text eingedruckten Schriftzeichen. Daneben widmet sich Kircher den architektonischen, geographischen, religiösen und alltäglichen Bräuchen der Menschen, etwa der "Chinesischen Mauer", dem Wickeln der Füße bei den chinesischen Frauen, dem Brahmanismus und den Reisewegen von Europa nach Osten. Die Tafeln zeigen Schriftzeichen, Pflanzen, Tiere, Kostüme, Gottheiten, die Karte das gesamte Chinesische Reich. - Durchgehend etwas stock- und fingerfleckig, gelegentlich mit Randläsuren sowie kleinerern teils alt hinterlegten Einrissen. - Cordier 26; Brunet III, 666; Kircher-Katalog Wolfenbüttel 2002.

COMBES, Francisco
Historia de las Islas de Mindanao, Jolo, y sus Adyacentes.
|
Madrid, herederos de Pablo del Val, 1667. En folio. (12) h., 567 pp. [en realidad 569], (3) h. Encuadernación de mediados del siglo pasado en plena piel, rueda gofrada en los planos, lomera cuajada de adornos dorados. primera edición de gran rareza de la primera y más importante historia de Mindanao y de las islas del sur de filipinas, con la primera descripción etnográfica de sus habitantes, lenguas habladas por los indios y la historia natural de aquellas islas. Este libro "bien trabajado y clásico por excelencia" en palabras de Palau, sirvió por más de doscientos años como base indiscutible para el conocimiento de la región. Francisco Combes, profesor en la Universidad de Manila y procurador jesuita para las Filipinas desde 1638, visitó personalmente la mayoría de ciudades, pueblos y localidades que describe aquí, y son de particular importancia sus noticias sobre los Negritos, entonces comunes en Mindanao pero que hoy están completamente desaparecidos. Retana en su "Biblioteca Filipina" dice: "Con la rareza, que es mucha, de esta obra magistral, compite su importancia: es la más antigua y circunstanciada historia de las islas del sur. El libro primero, de los ocho de que consta, es curiosísimo para el etnógrafo". Vicente Barrabtes, "Guerras piráticas de Filipinas", Apéndice VI, p.366-8: "El padre Combes, buen escritor y de gran juicio, supo aprovechar los conocimientos de todos sus compañeros y reducirlos a un cuerpo de historia ordenado, castizo y en todas materias superior. En geografía y ciencias naturales no hay libro que le haga ventaja de cuantos en aquellas islas se ocupan ... no siendo posible dar idea ni aproximada de todas las curiosidades científicas y naturales de la Historia de Mindanao, demás de las relacionadas con su principal objeto". Portada restaurada al verso y en el margen exterior con algunas letras suplidas a mano, mínima restauración en la primera hoja, cuatro hojas con pequeña restauración en la esquina superior sin afectar, el papel ligeramente amarronado; aun estos pequeños defectos, debidos a la calidad del papel, se trata de un buen ejemplar de este libro rarísimo. Referencias: Palau 57910; Retana 15; Retana, Epítome, 49; Medina, Filipinas, 193; Robertson 120 EXTREMELY RARE FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANT BOOK ON THE SOUTHERN PHILIPPINE ISLANDS with the first ethnographic description of its people, languages and natural history by the Jesuit Procurator of the Philippines from 1638. This elegantly written work remained the authority on the region for two centuries; Combes personally visited most of the localities described here, and of particular importance are his notices of the Negritos, then common on Mindanao but who had almost entirely disappeared today. "Exceedingly rare first edition" (Maggs). Title page and first leaf restored, minimal restoration to four leaves at the upper corner no affecting, some browning.

Thomas Matthias Götzens, Franckfurt 1667 - Modern full morocco gilt in an antique style of the period 8vo . FIRST EDITION of this very rare collection of three alchemical texts. "Contains some very curious pictorial symbols" (Duveen). The Opera Vegetabilia (pp. 161-316) and the tract by Sendivogius' servant (pp. 319-381) have separate title-pages. "The 'Philosophical Hand,' engraving and name, was adopted by a certain Justus Simplicius Hortulanus for a tract on the philosopher's stone, which see [verso of title-page]. The difference is that while Hollandus uses certain pictorial symbols of his own in the engraving, he gives the ordinary chemical symbols for the salts intended in the text, and it is these which are used by Hortulanus" (Ferguson). The second work is attributed to Michal Sedziwój (ca. 1556-ca. 1646.) and has its own title: Ein überauss Kostlicher Philosoph. Tractat which deals with various alchemical processes including transmutation. The preface to the Opus vegetabile purports to be from a manuscript written by Hollandus himself (p. 170). It is believed that the works attributed to Holland actually belong to two people; a father and son named Johann Isaac and Isaac. Ferguson in his Bibliotheca Chemica was uncertain as to the period and authorship of the Hollandus literature, however, more recent historians of early chemistry have ascertained that the works attributed to the supposed father and son are post-Paracelsan (see Stillman's History of Alchemy and Partington for a detail discussion). The Hollandus works were highly praised by Boyle, Glauber, Kunckel, and Boerhaave. He was said to have been skillful in enameling and in imitating precious stones with Antonio Neri, in his treatise on glassmaking of 1612, referring to "this method of imitating gems which I received (or obtained) from Isaac Hollandus when I was in Flanders." Ben Johnson, in the Alchemist (London; 1610), states: "The spirit of dead Holland, living Isaac you'ld swear were in him." This suggests that Johann Isaac was still living in 1610. The OCLC locates only two copies (one is the Duveen-Neu copy = University of Wisconsin). Beautifully illustrated with text engravings of alchemical instruments (full-page illustration on verso of title) and symbols as well as some woodcuts 384 (i.e. 382) pp. With 16 text woodcuts and 12 engravings (2 full-page) of alchemical equipment and symbols. § VD17 39:116939A; Ferguson I, 413; Duveen 301; Bolton I, 993-94; Gmelin I, 129; Neu 2075; Partington II, pp. 203-208; Stillman pp. 368 ff.; not in Neville Collection.

?ICT?E / BOILEAU, GILLES.
La Vie d'Epictete, et a Philosophie. Troisiéme Edition. Reveue & augmentée.
|
Paris, Guillaume de Luyne, Librairie Iuré, 1667. 12°. 297, 16 nn. pages. Reliure originale. Original leather. Some damages to upper and lower hinges - boards bumped. Binding firm and strong. Few markings in text. Épictète, en grec ancien Epíktêtos (Hiérapolis, Phrygie, 50 • Nicopolis, Épire 125 ou 130) était un philosophe de l’école stoïcienne. La philosophie d’Epictète se veut pratique, comme un ensemble de règles permettant de mettre en application de grandes valeurs morales. La droiture d’esprit qu’il préconise lui fait rejeter les effets de style des orateurs, les joutes pseudologiques des sophistes et la recherche effrénée des honneurs. (Wikipedia) Gilles Boileau, né à Paris le 22 octobre 1631 et mort le 10 mars 1669, est un avocat, poète et traducteur français, frère aîné du célèbre Nicolas. Il est avocat au parlement de Paris, puis payeur des rentes de l'Hôtel de ville. Ami de Furetière et de l'abbé Cotin, il est élu membre de l'Académie française en 1659. Quelques mois avant de mourir, à l'âge de seulement 38 ans, il est nommé contrôleur de l'argenterie du roi. C'est Gilles Boileau qui introduit son frère dans les milieux littéraires, où il se fait vite remarquer sous le nom de Despréaux. Gilles, que l'on dit jaloux du succès de son cadet, aura cependant avec lui des relations orageuses. Au plus fort de leur querelle, Nicolas ira jusqu'à traiter son frère de « rebut de notre âge », qualificatif qu'il regrettera par la suite et qu'il fera disparaître des Satires. L'abbé d'Olivet compare ainsi les talents des deux frères : « Les essais du cadet annoncèrent ce qu'on a vû de lui dans la suite, des chefs-d'œuvre de versification & de bon sens. Il n'y eut point en lui, si j'ose ainsi dire, d'enfance poëtique. L'âiné, au contraire, né avec beaucoup d'esprit, mais avec un jugment moins sain, ne se forma jamais l'idée du parfait. Il ne se défioit pas de sa trop grande facilité à écrire : facilité que M. Despréaux n'avoit point, & qui doit être toujours suspecte, quand ce n'est pas le fruit d'un long exercice. » La poésie de Gilles Boileau, en majeure partie satirique, dépasse en causticité celle de son frère. Connu pour « l'âcreté de sa bile[3] », il fait paraître en 1655 un Avis à M. Ménage qui déclenche une cruelle bataille d'épigrammes entre littérateurs. Lors d'un éclat qui ébranlera l'Académie, il va jusqu'à pourfendre l'épouse de Scarron : Vois sur quoi ton erreur se fonde, Scarron, de croire que le monde Te va voir pour ton entretien ; Quoi ! ne vois-tu pas, grosse bête, Si tu grattois un peu la tête, Que tu le devinerois bien ? Quant aux traductions de Gilles Boileau, dit l'abbé d'Olivet, « nous en avons deux considérables : celle d'Épictète, qui a été fort approuvée ; & celle de Diogène Laërce, qui est demeurée presque inconnue.[4] » Au sujet de la première, Pierre Bayle écrit : « Elle est bonne, et précédée d'une vie d'Épictète, la plus ample et la plus exacte que j'aie vue jusqu'ici. L'érudition et la critique y ont été répandues habilement.» (Wikipedia) Gilles Boileau (Paris, 22 October 1631 – 18 March 1669), the elder brother of the more famous Nicolas Boileau-Despréaux, was a French translator and member of the Académie française. He was well regarded as a classicist by his contemporaries and published a verse translation of the fourth book of the Aeneid and prose translations of writings of Diogenes Laertius and of Epictetus, whose life he wrote. He received a royal sinecure as contrôleur de l’argenterie du roi, and though his poetry is generally accounted mediocre, he was elected to the Académie française in January 1659, an event that gave rise to an incident that proved divisive in the French world of letters. The elder Boileau (who alone carried the name during his lifetime, the brother, with whom he was on ill terms in later years, being called "Despréaux") had attacked in print Mlle de Scudéry and the grammarian and lexicographer Gilles Ménage, two friends of Paul Pellisson, who mounted a campaign against the election of Gilles Boileau. In the affair Jean Chapelain, whose disastrous epic La Pucelle had been severely criticised by Pellisson, nevertheless came to defend him; doubtless, his own enmity for Boileau was affected by the satiric parody of Le Cid, Le Chapelain décoiffé (1665), jointly written by the brothers Boileau and occasioned by Chapelain's selection by Colbert to oversee the choices of authors to receive royal pensions. After the election of Gilles Boileau, pressed by Pierre Séguier, Pellisson avoided meetings of the Académie for a decade, until after Boileau's death. (Source of all articles: Wikipedia)

. 22, 804 [=812], (14, 2 blank) pp. Nijhoff & V. Hattum 34 .First and only edition of the classic eighteenth-century history and description of Delft, adapting and updating Dirk Evertsz. van Bleyswijk's 1667 description and ca. 1680 supplement. Many of the beautiful plates, and the map engraved for Van Bleyswijk were used here again. The state of Holland had opened a new munitions magazine in 1692, so Boitet added a plate to show the new building in addition to the old. The frontispiece and dedication engraving, and apparently the two maps (showing Delft in 1560 and 1672) were also newly engraved for this edition. The present folio format served the engraved illustrations better than the quarto of 1667-ca. 1680, so that the splendid large panoramic view of Delft (44 x 124 cm) originally designed to appear above Van Bleyswijk's separately published map could be included, along with the large map of Delft in the year 1672 (41,5 x 53.5 cm). The architectural views taken from Van Bleyswijk (mostly etched by Coenraet Decker, also responsible for the panorama), are also better served. While much of the text inevitably followed Van Bleyswijk, the revisions and additions were made by several hands. The bookseller Reinier Boitet, who published the book, played a leading role, with contributions by Hugo van Heussen, Hendrik van Rijn and others.Good copy, text underlined in red & blue pencil on several pages, tear in the bottom of p. 281, few pencil notes in the margins.

TESAURO (Emanuele).
Patriarchae sive Christi Servatoris Genealogia, per Mundi Aetates traducta.
|
Rothomagi, apud Richard Lallemant, 1667.. in-12. 4ff. 175pp. 3ff. Plein veau mouchete, dos a nerfs orne (Reliure de l'epoque). Rare ouvrage du philosophe, litterateur et historien piemontais Emanuele Tesauro (1591-1675). Tesauro entra chez les jesuites a l'age de 20 ans mais quitta la Compagnie et se mit au service de la maison de Savoie. Il publia des livres d'histoire ainsi que des textes litteraires qui lui valurent une grande celebrite. Ses recherches sur le langage et l'expression des idees, exposes dans son "Cannochiale Aristotelico" (1654), font de lui, a cote de l'espagnol Baltasar Gracian, l'un des chefs de file du conceptisme, style litteraire caracteristique de la litterature baroque espagnole. Tesauro a ete l'objet de differentes etudes universitaires recentes. Le present ouvrage est un recueil de poemes sur les grands ancetres du peuple d'Israel avant le Christ, representant pour l'auteur le monde ancien. Tesauro divise ce monde en 6 "ages", inspires des phases de la vie humaine et representes, chacun, par un groupe de personnages de l'histoire d'Israel auxquels il attribue un role symbolique: Mundi Pueritia (pastores), Mundi Adolescentia (milites), Mundi Juventus (duces), Mundi Virilitas (reges), Mundi Senectus (solitarii). Le dernier "age" inaugure une ere nouvelle sous le nom de Nova Aetas et se termine par le Christ. Chacune des parties possede un titre particulier insere dans un bel encadrement historie grave sur bois, avec la devise de l'imprimeur Bidelli (un chat tenant une souris). Le volume est par ailleurs illustre de deux tres belles planches gravees a l'eau forte: le titre allegorique et une scene representant Adam et Eve. Ces planches sont signees Blancus a Milan. Il s'agit tres certainement d'un des membres de la famille de graveurs milanais Bianchi qui exercaient dans cette ville dans la premiere moitie du XVIIs.

[THE COMPANY OF THE ROYAL FISHING]
To the Kings most excellent Matie: The humble petition of the Governor & Company of the Royall ffisheing.
|
n.d. [ca.1667-8] Manuscript on paper, folio (305 x 195 mm) on two conjugate leaves with a total of 56 lines of text, blank[?] piece torn away from 2nd leaf but almost certainly not affecting text, unbound. A few very minor edge nicks but overall in good, legible, state of preservation. The petitioners prayed for a Royal grant to the Company of the 'sole power of coyneing & uttering of farthings' for such time as the King thinks fit. A proposal to the Company to this effect had been made by Sir Edward Ford (1605-1670), the royalist soldier and inventor. The farthings were 'not to be counterfeyted without present discovery to give satisfactory securety to prevent the exportacion of the silver and gould of the nation by the importation of counterfeits, and the People from having such [kept] putt uppon them to their preiudice By retakeing all farthings he utters at the same rate he vents them And all other farthings that doe imitate his at the same rate To give 21s. in farthings for 20s. in sterling silver And 5s. out of every 20s. to the Royall Fisheing'. The conjugate leaf sets out further supposed advantages which would accrue to the King himself, to the state, and to the Company. 'Lastly', the petitioners declare, 'the sum that the making of these tokens will (in all probabilety) produce for ye fisheing (is humbly conceived) will be suffycyent to lay a foundation to that great worke, (whereby in few yeares) Twenty times more bullion will really be brought, or kept yearly in this Kingdome for ever, than can be pretended to be expected by your Maiesties alloweing the proposed tokens'. Related papers occur in the State Papers under date 4 Jan. (1667?), commencing with an Order at a general meeting of the Company, approving the proposal of Sir Edward Forde and the petition founded on it. They appointed a Committee to present it to Charles II, prepare arguments in its favour, and attend the Council to speak in its defence. The other papers are a copy of the petition, and a statement of the inconveniencees and losses resulting from the issue of tradesmen's tokens (Calendar of State Papers Domestic, 1666-67, p.439). The subject reappears in the State Papers of 1668. The petition had been delayed by the Dutch war; the Commissioners for Fishing had agreed with Forde for 5s. in the pound for 80,000 to be made in one year, and he urged the completion of the proposal, as the only way to support the fishery. The King had declared himself against private individuals having liberty to coin - if any such were permitted, the great labours of the company would come to nought. (Calendar of State Papers Domestic, 1668-69, p.137). Nothing more has been found in the State Papers to 1670. Charles II was already interested in the national currency of farthings issued in 1672. Forde obtained a patent for coining farthings in Ireland, but died there before he could carry it into execution.

Index Librorum Prohibitorum et Expurgantodum Novissimi, Hispanicus et Romanus. Ill. Ac. R. D. D. Antonii a Sotomaior.
|
Ex Typographaeo Didaci Diaz,, Madrid: 1667 - 3 hojas+XXXI+52 hojas+992 páginas. [Junto con:] Index librorum prohibitorum Alexandri VII. Roma: Typographia Rev. Cam. Apost, 1667. 304 páginas. Encuadernación del siglo XIX en media piel y puntas. Palau 118941 El Index Librorum Prohibitorum et Expurgatorum o "Índice de libros prohibidos", también llamado Index Expurgatorius es una lista de aquellas publicaciones que la Iglesia Católica catalogó como libros perniciosos para la fe; además establecía, en su primera parte, las normas de la iglesia con respecto a la censura de los libros. El propósito de esta lista era prevenir la lectura de libros o trabajos inmorales que contuvieran errores teológicos o morales y prevenir la corrupción de los fieles.Fue creada en el año 1559 por la Sagrada Congregación de la Inquisición de la Iglesia Católica Romana (posteriormente llamada la Congregación para la Doctrina de la Fe). El Index contenía nombres de autores cuyas obras estaban prohibidas en su totalidad, obras aisladas de otros autores o anónimas y también un detallado repertorio de los capítulos, páginas o líneas que debían ser cortados o tachados. Esta labor correspondía a los bibliotecarios, que debían ocuparse de ellas antes de dejar los libros en manos de los lectores. Por ejemplo, en la edición de 1632 (pág.63) se indica que en el Dioscórides de Andrés Laguna, un libro de Materia Medica, debe tacharse la frase "siembranse con maldiciones las Albahacas, y según Plinio, crecen muy viciosas con ellas (sic)" ("viciosas" alude aquí a vigorosas). En la misma página se explica que frases como la anterior deben borrarse por encontrarse en lengua vulgar, accesible pues al vulgo, pero que no lo necesitarían si estuvieran en latín o griego. Los autores contemporáneos a la decisión censora podían elegir omitir ellos mismos en sucesivas ediciones los párrafos censurados. Así Cervantes tuvo que suprimir del Quijote (2ª parte, capítulo 36) la frase " las obras de caridad que se hacen tibia y flojamente no tienen mérito ni valen nada." El Index fomentaba así la autocensura por los propios autores.Para el mantenimiento del Index después de la primera edición, de Pío V, se instituyó en 1571 la Sagrada Congregación del Índice. El Índice fue actualizado regularmente hasta su suspensión, en 1966, con materiales que se fueron agregando tanto por la Congregación como por el Papa. Otras congregaciones, como el Santo Oficio, pasaban a la anterior sus propias correcciones, para que las incorporara. Al final la lista debía ser aprobada por el Papa, que podía indultar a algún autor o añadir otro, como ocurrió en el caso de Lamennais.La lista incluyó a autores literarios como Rabelais (obra completa) o La Fontaine (Contes et nouvelles), pensadores como Descartes o Montesquieu y científicos o protocientíficos como Conrad Gessner o Copérnico. Este último entró en la lista como consecuencia del proceso de la Inquisición contra Galileo, por un decreto de la Congregación General del Índice de 5 de marzo de 1616, que obligaba expurgar ciertos pasajes, incompatibles con la fe, que mostraban como seguro que la Tierra se mueve en torno a un Sol inmóvil. Las enmiendas fueron publicadas en 1620, pero la obra de Copérnico (De revolutionibus orbis coelestium) no salió del Index hasta 1758. Johannes Kepler, que defendió en 1618 el heliocentrismo de Copérnico, fue a su vez incluido en el Índice.Esta edición del Indice reúne de hecho un índex español de 1640 y los romanos de Alejandro VII y el de Clemente VIII.

LOUIS-SEBASTIEN LE TILLEMONT
Vie de Saint Louis Roi de France. Publià e pour la Premià re Fois d'Apràs le Manuscrit de la Bibliothà que Royale et Accompagnà e de Notes et d'Éclaircissements Par J. De Gaulle [6 volumes]
|
Jules Renouard - Tillemont was a French historian and priest. He received his education at Port Royal in the Petites Écoles and then at Beauvais in the seminary. Later, in 1667, he again resided at Port Royal and, though a member of the Jansenist community, he avoided the controversies associated with it. During these times, he collaborated with others on several historical projects, including an edition of patristic texts. He eventually relocated to Tillemont when the Port Royal community was dispersed in 1679, spending his time there in pious practices and in the study of history. Thus he spent two years putting together notes on Saint Louis for Lemaistre de Lacy, who, however, did not live long enough to use them. It was only later, in 1847, that these notes were published under the auspices of the Socià tà de l'histoire de France and the editorship of J. De Gaulle (though a pirated edition was made in 1688 by Filleau de la Chaise). Tillemont is generally regarded as a most thorough and accurate historian. 8vo (15.5cm x 23.5cm). Bound in full red morocco, gilt-stamped emblem to both boards with blind decorative fillet and inside dentelles. 5 compartments to spine, gilt title and volume numbers. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Bookplate of Joseph M. Gleason on front paste-down endpapers. Library numbers in black on spines. Light foxing throughout. A beautifully bound set in very good condition.

Londini Quod Reliquum or Londons Remains : In Latin and English
|
London Sa. Gellibrand 1667. A scarce work of poetry lamenting the losses in the Great Fire, in a splendidly pompous and overblown style. If William McGonagall had been around in the 1660s and read rather more classical authors this would surely have been the result. Take his verse on St. Paul's Cathedral (the old one) for example 'This was said some, Pauls reverend edifice / The World did not its like comprise / A Carved roof its marble pillars crown'd / And these to that, vast Arches bound / It's monstrous length to that unlearned sight / The Floor and Cieling did unite'. Add to that the fact that the whole thing is also printed in Latin, and you have a marvellous, sprawling would-be epic, top-heavy with classical allusions and purple prose. Bound in modern orange paper wraps. The title page and final leaf a little dustsoiled. Minor slight loss to corners of first couple of leaves not affecting text. Latin and English on opposite pages in duplicate. Followed by 'Actio in Londini Incendiarios'. (3), 16 (actually 32), (1) ; 16 pages. Collated complete. Repaired closed tear to D3.

An interesting work on the physiology of speech and the instruction of deaf-mutes by Belgian alchemist Franciscus Mercurius Van Helmont. Helmont maintained that Hebrew was the simplest and most natural language and the easiest for a deaf person to learn, the Hebrew characters for letters representing exactly the motions and configurations of the tongue and mouth which were required to produce the sounds of the letters. Letters and configurations are shown on the thirty-six engraved plates. Using these images Helmont claimed to have successfully taught deaf-mutes to articulate the alphabet on first sight. "An extraordinary book.you will praise the man who first shewed how the human mouth and its organs are adjusted in the pronunciation of each letter, and who also (though not the first) taught the deaf to speak."

|
Franckfurt: Thomas Matthias Götzens. 1667. Modern full morocco gilt in an antique style of the period 8vo . FIRST EDITION of this very rare collection of three alchemical texts. "Contains some very curious pictorial symbols" (Duveen). The Opera Vegetabilia (pp. 161-316) and the tract by Sendivogius' servant (pp. 319-381) have separate title-pages. "The 'Philosophical Hand,' engraving and name, was adopted by a certain Justus Simplicius Hortulanus for a tract on the philosopher's stone, which see [verso of title-page]. The difference is that while Hollandus uses certain pictorial symbols of his own in the engraving, he gives the ordinary chemical symbols for the salts intended in the text, and it is these which are used by Hortulanus" (Ferguson). The second work is attributed to Michal Sedziwój (ca. 1556-ca. 1646.) and has its own title: Ein überauss Kostlicher Philosoph. Tractat which deals with various alchemical processes including transmutation. The preface to the Opus vegetabile purports to be from a manuscript written by Hollandus himself (p. 170). It is believed that the works attributed to Holland actually belong to two people; a father and son named Johann Isaac and Isaac. Ferguson in his Bibliotheca Chemica was uncertain as to the period and authorship of the Hollandus literature, however, more recent historians of early chemistry have ascertained that the works attributed to the supposed father and son are post-Paracelsan (see Stillman's History of Alchemy and Partington for a detail discussion). The Hollandus works were highly praised by Boyle, Glauber, Kunckel, and Boerhaave. He was said to have been skillful in enameling and in imitating precious stones with Antonio Neri, in his treatise on glassmaking of 1612, referring to "this method of imitating gems which I received (or obtained) from Isaac Hollandus when I was in Flanders." Ben Johnson, in the Alchemist (London; 1610), states: "The spirit of dead Holland, living Isaac you'ld swear were in him." This suggests that Johann Isaac was still living in 1610. The OCLC locates only two copies (one is the Duveen-Neu copy = University of Wisconsin). Beautifully illustrated with text engravings of alchemical instruments (full-page illustration on verso of title) and symbols as well as some woodcuts 384 (i.e. 382) pp. With 16 text woodcuts and 12 engravings (2 full-page) of alchemical equipment and symbols. § VD17 39:116939A; Ferguson I, 413; Duveen 301; Bolton I, 993-94; Gmelin I, 129; Neu 2075; Partington II, pp. 203-208; Stillman pp. 368 ff.; not in Neville Collection

The political events in England in the latter part of the first half of the century provided a fitting prelude to the publication of Leviathan. Charles I was executed in 1649 and, until 1653, when Cromwell was made Protector, there was constant discussion and experimentation to find an appropriate form of government. Leviathan, published in 1651, was therefore very topical. It came out strongly in favor of absolute and undivided sovereignty, without the usual arguments from divine right. Indeed, Hobbes conceded popular representation but, by an ingenious twisting of the social contract theory, showed that it logically implied the acceptance of undivided sovereignty. 'Thomas Hobbes of Malmesbury is a unique figure in the history of English political thought. His defense of absolutism, unpopular from the day it was published to the present, is based on expediency. The individual (except to save his life) should always submit to the State, because any gouvernment is better than the anarchy of the natural state. Though his ideas have never appealed to proponents of the individual rights of man or to the modern totalitarians with their mystical vision of Volk, the fundamental nature of Hobbes's speculation has stimulated philosophers from Spinoza to John Stuart Mill' (PMM exhibition catalogue, 272). The book was forbidden in the Netherlands and condamned on 19 July 1674. The translation of the most horrible book of those days in the Netherlands is most likely due to Lambert van Velthuysen. - Binding slightly loosening, leaf Z2 with a small hole causing loss of a few letters.

Thomas Matthias Götzens, Franckfurt 1667 - Modern full morocco gilt in an antique style of the period 8vo . FIRST EDITION of this very rare collection of three alchemical texts. "Contains some very curious pictorial symbols" (Duveen). The Opera Vegetabilia (pp. 161-316) and the tract by Sendivogius' servant (pp. 319-381) have separate title-pages. "The 'Philosophical Hand,' engraving and name, was adopted by a certain Justus Simplicius Hortulanus for a tract on the philosopher's stone, which see [verso of title-page]. The difference is that while Hollandus uses certain pictorial symbols of his own in the engraving, he gives the ordinary chemical symbols for the salts intended in the text, and it is these which are used by Hortulanus" (Ferguson). The second work is attributed to Michal Sedziwój (ca. 1556-ca. 1646.) and has its own title: Ein überauss Kostlicher Philosoph. Tractat which deals with various alchemical processes including transmutation. The preface to the Opus vegetabile purports to be from a manuscript written by Hollandus himself (p. 170). It is believed that the works attributed to Holland actually belong to two people; a father and son named Johann Isaac and Isaac. Ferguson in his Bibliotheca Chemica was uncertain as to the period and authorship of the Hollandus literature, however, more recent historians of early chemistry have ascertained that the works attributed to the supposed father and son are post-Paracelsan (see Stillman's History of Alchemy and Partington for a detail discussion). The Hollandus works were highly praised by Boyle, Glauber, Kunckel, and Boerhaave. He was said to have been skillful in enameling and in imitating precious stones with Antonio Neri, in his treatise on glassmaking of 1612, referring to "this method of imitating gems which I received (or obtained) from Isaac Hollandus when I was in Flanders." Ben Johnson, in the Alchemist (London; 1610), states: "The spirit of dead Holland, living Isaac you'ld swear were in him." This suggests that Johann Isaac was still living in 1610. The OCLC locates only two copies (one is the Duveen-Neu copy = University of Wisconsin). Beautifully illustrated with text engravings of alchemical instruments (full-page illustration on verso of title) and symbols as well as some woodcuts 384 (i.e. 382) pp. With 16 text woodcuts and 12 engravings (2 full-page) of alchemical equipment and symbols. § VD17 39:116939A; Ferguson I, 413; Duveen 301; Bolton I, 993-94; Gmelin I, 129; Neu 2075; Partington II, pp. 203-208; Stillman pp. 368 ff.; not in Neville Collection.

Blackwood, Edinburgh, 1830. 8vo., First Edition, with an engraved frontispiece, 4 engraved plates, 2 engraved plans and a lithographed plate, frontispiece, plates and a few leaves moderately spotted; contemporary half calf, marbled boards, back with five raised bands ruled in gilt, compartments ruled in blind, second compartment lettered in gilt, marbled edges, joints cracked (but binding entirely sound), a good, firm copy. Collects (i) An Account of His Majesty's Escape...dictated to Mr. Pepys [BM Add MS. 31955]; (ii) Boscobel Parts I and II by Blount; (iii) Claustrum Regale Reseratum by Wyndham (1667); (iv) MS account by Whitgreave, Charles's host at Moseley Hall; (v) Captain Ellesdon's Memoir; (vi) Letter from a Prisoner at Chester. A later, inferior, edition appeared in 1857. The lithograph shows the sovereign making his escape attended by the five 'Pendrels' [sic] and Yates. Drawn 'on stone' by Giles, it is printed by Hullmandel who had started to popularise the art in England around 1818. It is thus a relatively early example of this form of illustration. Scarce.

- 22, 804 [=812], (14, 2 blank) pp. Nijhoff & V. Hattum 34.First and only edition of the classic eighteenth-century history and description of Delft, adapting and updating Dirk Evertsz. van Bleyswijk's 1667 description and ca. 1680 supplement. Many of the beautiful plates, and the map engraved for Van Bleyswijk were used here again. The state of Holland had opened a new munitions magazine in 1692, so Boitet added a plate to show the new building in addition to the old. The frontispiece and dedication engraving, and apparently the two maps (showing Delft in 1560 and 1672) were also newly engraved for this edition. The present folio format served the engraved illustrations better than the quarto of 1667-ca. 1680, so that the splendid large panoramic view of Delft (44 x 124 cm) originally designed to appear above Van Bleyswijk's separately published map could be included, along with the large map of Delft in the year 1672 (41,5 x 53.5 cm). The architectural views taken from Van Bleyswijk (mostly etched by Coenraet Decker, also responsible for the panorama), are also better served. While much of the text inevitably followed Van Bleyswijk, the revisions and additions were made by several hands. The bookseller Reinier Boitet, who published the book, played a leading role, with contributions by Hugo van Heussen, Hendrik van Rijn and others.Good copy, text underlined in red & blue pencil on several pages, tear in the bottom of p. 281, few pencil notes in the margins. Front and back side rubbed.
