Leyde, Jean et Theodore Maire, 1636. 2 ouvrages en 1 vol. in-4°, maroquin rouge, dos a nerfs orne de caissons dores, triple filet dore d'encadrement sur les plats avec fleuron dans les angles et grande arabesque centrale doree aux petits fers, roulette doree sur les coupes, roulette interieure, tranches dorees. Reliure de l'epoque. (4) ff., 19 pp., 86 pp. pour le 1er ouvrage ; (6) ff., 244 pp., 4 planches h.-t. (2 gravees sur cuivre et 2 sur bois), 7 medaillons graves sur bois dans le texte. Tres bel exemplaire de la reunion de deux ouvrages importants. Le premier est en fait un savant traite de numismatique de l'historien et archeologue Alexandre Sardi, assez precieux pour avoir ete reimprime dans le Tresor des Antiquites grecques et romaines de Graevius. Cette edition de la Bibliotheca nummariae, veritable bibliographie internationale, est imprimee sous le nom de Selden qui la dedie a l'antiquaire anversois Abraham Gorlaeus. Elle s'etend jusqu'a 1663. Le second est une tres rare edition continentale in-4° du Mare Clausum, texte aussi important pour l'etude des rapports politiques entre la Grande-Bretagne et ses voisins du continent a propos de la souverainete des mers, que pour l'etude geographique proprement dite des mers. Cet ouvrage d'une grande erudition contient en effet des donnees du plus grand interet sur les distances entre les ports, les navigations etc. Pour justifier la souverainete de la Grande-Bretagne sur les mers d'Ecosse et d'Irlande, il cite des extraits de textes juridiques des differents pays, imprimes dans leurs propres langues (gothique, anglo-saxonne, danoise, etc.) mais aussi des sources anciennes avec des extraits en hebreu, en arabe etc. On y trouve meme une ordonnance en francais concernant le port de Londres ! L'auteur a illustre son propos de 4 planches, dont 2 belles cartes gravees en taille-douce, des iles anglaises et des cartes de l'Europe de l'Espagne a la Norvege pour la premiere, des villes cotieres de l'Angleterre pour la seconde. Cette œuvre temoigne de l'erudition extraordinaire de Selden, homme d'Etat et jurisconsulte anglais a la vie politique tumultueuse, que Grotius surnomma « la gloire de l'Angleterre », et qui laissa autant d'ecrits scientifiques que politiques et dont le Mare clausum est le principal.2 Michaud donne une tres copieuse notice sur Selden et etudie longuement la genese et la posterite du Mare Clausum qui, ne vers 1618 pour refuter l'ouvrage de Grotius, fut publie en 1636 (Michaud) et sera considere durant tout le XVIIe siecle et le XVIIIe siecle comme le fondement de la politique maritime anglaise jusqu'a la refutation de 1811 par le diplomate francais Gerard de Rayneval. Cette impression rare de Jean Maire, qui precede d'un an celle du Discours de la Methode, manquait a la collection Rahir, Les Elzeviers et divers typographes hollandais du XVIIe siecle. PRECIEUX EXEMPLAIRE DE LA COLLECTION C.W.H. SOTHEBY, avec son grand ex-libris heraldique et sa devise « ou bien ou rien » grave au contreplat. Michaud XXXIX, 1-5 ; Brunet V, 267.

|
[Nicolaes van Ravesteyn] [ca 1636], [Amsterdam] - Contemporary vellum over boards (some soiling; minor cracking to front hinge but very sound) 4to . FIRST DUTCH EDITION of "Von dem dreifachen Leben des Menschen" dealing with the will and soul which is considered one of Jakob Bhme's major works (cf. New Schaff-Herzog, II, p. 210). The German edition first appeared in 1620. An important and rare edition of this work by the famous German mystic, Jakob Bhme (1575-1624), who lived as a master shoemaker while writing about his visions and spiritual revelations. Later in life he published a series of mystical works which had a great influence on later writers on free will, the human soul and division of mind and body. His influece on later English visionary writers is especially noteworthy. The present work, whose uniform Dutch title is "Hooge ende diepe Gronden van't drievoudigh leven des Menschen", was published without an imprint but Buddecke suggests that the work was printed in 1636 at Amsterdam by Nicolaes Ravesteyn. The OCLC locates only a copy at Yale and the present copy (Crozier-Colgate Library) in the United States and four additional copies in the Netherlands [8], 424 pp. With engraved title-page by S. Savery after P.v. Bon. Full-page woodcut diagram in text. Book plate of Crozer Theological Seminary (at Colgate: deaccessioned). Several gift inscriptions from the Wetherill family on front paste-down. Some light dampstains, minor handsoiling and foxing. Buddecke 2, 17. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

Later, he was named censor to the Inquisition and confessor of de Olivares, the favorite of Philip IV, whom he followed when he was exiled from Madrid." Ripalda is described by Southwell as "religious, ... subtle in argument, sound in opinion, clear & focused in expression, and well-versed in St. Augustine & St. Thomas. According to Drews, no Jesuit ever occupied this chair at the University of Salamanca with more honor."#11;#11;Notably, Hurter considers Ripalda, along with Lugo, "first among the contemporary theologians of Spain, and perhaps of all Europe."

PALISSY, Bernard
Le Moyen de devenir Riche, et la Maniere Veritable, par laquelle tous les hommes de la France pourront apprendre a multiplier & augmenter leurs thresors & possessions
|
8 p.l., 255 pp.; 8 p.l., 526 pp. Thickish 8vo, 19th cent. calf-backed marbled boards. Paris: R. Fouet, 1636. First collected edition of Palissy's two major books: the La Recepte Veritable (1st ed.: 1563) and Discours Admirables (1st ed.: 1580); the first editions are very rare and our 1636 edition is extremely uncommon. This is a book full of interest. In Recepte Veritable, "Palissy discussed a wide variety of topics, including agriculture (for which he proposed better methods for farming and for the use of fertilizers), geology (in which he touched upon the origin of salts, springs, precious stones, and rock formations), mines, and forestry. He also suggested plans for an ideal garden, to be decorated with his earthenware and with biblical quotations... "The second book, Discours admirables, probably incorporates Palissy's Paris lectures. It, like the earlier work, deals with an impressive array of subjects: agriculture, alchemy, botany, ceramics, embalming, engineering, geology, hydrology, medicine, metallurgy, meteorology, mineralogy, paleontology, philosophy, physics, toxicology, and zoology. The book is divided into several chapters, the first and longest of which is concerned with water. The others take up metals and their nature and generation; drugs; ice; different types of salts and their nature, effects, and methods of generation; characteristics of common and precious stones; clay and marl; and the potter's art... "Palissy's views on hydrology and paleontology, as expressed in the Discours, are of particular interest. He was one of the few men of his century to have a correct notion of the origins of rivers and streams, and he stated it forcefully, denying categorically that rivers can have any source other than rainfall... "Palissy discussed fossils extensively...Palissy was probably one of the first men in France to teach natural sciences from facts, specimens and demonstrations rather than hypotheses."-D.S.B., X, pp. 280-81. Fine copy. Adams, The Birth and Development of the Geological Sciences, pp. 90, 261, & 446-48. Duveen, p. 446-"A book of great importance in the history of chemistry and science generally"-(referring to the 1st ed. of the Discours). Geikie, The Founders of Geology, pp. 104 & 118.

MACHIAVELLI, Niccol.
Machiavels Discourses upon the first decade of T. Livius, translated out of the Italian. To which is added his Prince: with some marginal animadversions noting and taxing his errors. By E[dward]. D[acres]. The second edition much corrected & amended.
|
Dacress translation of the Discourses was first published in 1636, of the Prince in 1640. Among the political writings concernerning Machiavel these are both considered by far the most important translations into English at this time (Raab, English face of Machiavelli p. 96). In this combined edition the Prince follows the Discourses, beginning on p. [509] with its own title-page, Nicholas Machiavels Prince, London, Charles Harper & John Amery, 1673. Rightly or wrongly, both books have been read as articulating a doctrine of reason of state, and for that reason are considered classics of political realism (Brown, International relations in political thought p. 257).On a host of contested issues, [Machiavellis] works have invited diverse interpretations. At one extreme, Machiavelli is a teacher of evil, the originator of Machiavellism, an ethic of unscrupulous egoism in individual conduct. At the other, he is a moralist who satirizes this ethic from an essentially Christian standpoint. Between these extremes we find readings of Machiavelli as a theorist of the principles of practical wisdom required to establish, maintain, and strengthen a state. It is this last Machiavelli whose writings inspired both the tradition of reason of state connected with the rise of absolutism in Italy, France, and Germany and the anti-absolutist civic republican tradition in England and America. It is also this Machiavelli who, along with Hobbes, helped to generate the tradition of political realism in foreign policy. According to the realists, because each state must defend its own interests, there can be no moral limits on the competition of states for power. Reason of state, here, means that international relations is a realm in which the rules of civil society do not apply: rules guiding personal conduct or domestic politics are irrelevant to foreign policy (Brown p. 245).Bertelli & Innocenti XVII/68; Wing M135A. There is a more common variant with the names of the booksellers Thomas Burrell and William Hensman included in the imprint. London, Charles Harper & John Amery, 1674.

Gerard, John
The Herball or General Historie of Plantes

Adam Islip, Joyce Norton and Richard Whitakers, London:: Adam Islip, Joyce Norton and Richard Whitakers,, 1636.. Handsome modern antique-style paneled calf, title on red morocco label; opening (!2-8) and final signatures (6y1-7b5), & 4L 3 &4 from another, slightly smaller copy; t.p. laid-down corner repair to last leaf with some text loss, occ. light dampstains, a few inner margins restored, lacks initial and final blanks (as usual).. Folio.. Engraved t.p. by John Payne (d.1647?), c2766 woodcuts in text, most HAND-COLORED. Third Edition (first: 1597), in effect a reissue or reprint of the preferred second edition of 1633, edited by London apothecary and botanist, Thomas Johnson.#11; "Gerard is perhaps the best remembered of all the English herbalists." (Garrison & Morton). A barber surgeon, he supervised the gardens of Lord Burleigh and Theobolds and kept his own famous garden in Holborn for twenty years, for which he issued a list of plants cultivated, the first complete catalogue ever published of the contents of a single garden. According to Arber and the Osler catalogue, Gerard used as the basis of his herbal a translation of Dodoens begun by Robert Priest, but without any acknowledgment, while according to William T.Stearn (DSB), "to what extent Gerard was indebted to Priest's work is quite uncertain..the Herball as published..was on the whole so massive a task that it seems charitable to credit [Gerard] with the whole. It remains a valuable source of information about the plants available in western European gardens at the end of the sixteenth century and about the Latin and vernacular names then applied to them." The 1597 edition was illustrated mainly with woodblocks obtained by the publisher Norton from Nikolaus Bass!e of Frankfurt, who had used them in the German herbal of Tabernaemontanus (Theodorus of Bergzabern), 1588-91. Several other cuts were added by Gerard, notably one which is considered to be the earliest depiction of the potato, which Gerard believed was native to Virginia. In his revised edition, Johnson enlarged the text to include a total of 2850 plants, added a comprehensive historical introduction, "corrected many of Gerard's more gullible errors, and improved the accuracy of the illustrations by using Plantin's woodcuts." (Hunt). Gerard's herbal is listed in European Americana because it includes numerous descriptions and illustrations of American plants, including the previously mentioned potato. #11; STC 11752.

Magnifica prova, ricca di toni, impressa su carta vergata coeva priva di filigrana, rifilata all'interno del rame ma completa della parte incisa, restauri nella parte bianca superiore, per il resto in buono stato di conservazione. Eseguito l'anno successivo alla morte del Callot, questo ritratto post-mortem fu probabilmente commissionato al Bosse dall'editore Israel Henriet. Il volto del Callot deriva dal ritratto di Michel Lasne, del 1629. Opera molto rara. Bibliografia: Abraham Bosse savant graveur, p. 172, 142. Dimensioni 134x245" Etching and engraving, 1636. signed and dated on lower part. Magnificent work, rich in shades, printed on contemporary laid paper without watermark, trimmed inside the platemark but with the entire engraved part, minor repairs on the upper part, otherwise in good condition. This plate has been realized one year after the death of Callot; the post-mortem portrait has been very likely commissioned by Israel Henriet, the publisher. The face of Callot recalls the portrait of Michel Lasne, realized in 1629. A very rare work. Abraham Bosse savant graveur, p. 172, 142. Dimensioni 134x245.

PALISSY, Bernard
Le Moyen de devenir Riche, et la Maniere Veritable, par laquelle tous les hommes de la France pourront apprendre a multiplier & augmenter leurs thresors & possessions
|
8 p.l., 255 pp.; 8 p.l., 526 pp. Thickish 8vo, 19th cent. calf-backed marbled boards. Paris: R. Fouet, 1636.pFirst collected edition of Palissy's two major books: the La Recepte Veritable (1st ed.: 1563) and Discours Admirables (1st ed.: 1580); the first editions are very rare and our 1636 edition is extremely uncommon. This is a book full of interest. In Recepte Veritable, "Palissy discussed a wide variety of topics, including agriculture (for which he proposed better methods for farming and for the use of fertilizers), geology (in which he touched upon the origin of salts, springs, precious stones, and rock formations), mines, and forestry. He also suggested plans for an ideal garden, to be decorated with his earthenware and with biblical quotations... "The second book, Discours admirables, probably incorporates Palissy's Paris lectures. It, like the earlier work, deals with an impressive array of subjects: agriculture, alchemy, botany, ceramics, embalming, engineering, geology, hydrology, medicine, metallurgy, meteorology, mineralogy, paleontology, philosophy, physics, toxicology, and zoology. The book is divided into several chapters, the first and longest of which is concerned with water. The others take up metals and their nature and generation; drugs; ice; different types of salts and their nature, effects, and methods of generation; characteristics of common and precious stones; clay and marl; and the potter's art... "Palissy's views on hydrology and paleontology, as expressed in the Discours, are of particular interest. He was one of the few men of his century to have a correct notion of the origins of rivers and streams, and he stated it forcefully, denying categorically that rivers can have any source other than rainfall... "Palissy discussed fossils extensively...Palissy was probably one of the first men in France to teach natural sciences from facts, specimens and demonstrations rather than hypotheses."-D.S.B., X, pp. 280-81.

Jodocus Hondius, 1636. Very good Map. Uncolored engraving. Image measures 14" x 15.75". Map of the Danish island of Fyn, as well as Langeland and r. English text on back describes the area. From the "Gerardi Mercatoris Atlas sive Cosmographicae" (Mercator-Hondius Atlas). Plate was originally made by Mercator and later added to by Hondius. Some aging around margins and minor chipping to left edge and corners. Mercator (1512-1594) was an accomplished mathematician, cartographer, globe maker and engraver but is best known for the Mercator Projection. Incorporating the newly accepted fact that the world is round, Mercator was able to render longitude lines consistently straight on a chart. Although this requires some distortion, it was of great use for navigators, and is historically important, as it is still the most commonly used projection today.

All'Ill. Sig. Francesco Maria Zambeccari Come a Suo Singolar. Mo Padrone Agostino Mitelli D.D.D.
|
Bologna (Ag. o Parisini For, 1636. 24 unnumbered etched plates, loose as issued, printed on buff-colored paper (watermarked with a paschal lamb in a circle surmounted by the initial A). 250 x 170 mm. (ca. 9 7/8 x 6 5/8 inches). Sm. 4to. Portfolio (modern gilt boards, 1/4 red morocco). This untitled suite of exuberant, often fantastical, decorative cartouches and other ornaments is one of four sets of prints by Agostino Mitelli (1606-1660), the renowned Bolognese quadratura painter, father of Giuseppe Maria Mitelli. Dated 1636, dedicated to Count Zambeccari, and printed and/or published by Agostino Parisini, it is known in several editions or issues. In one, the title-page was reworked with the ?inscription Rousel exc. ?; in another, with the name of Giovan Batista Paganelli, D.D. and a new dedication to Francesco Bandini. In the present copy, as in the set in the Victoria and Albert, one plate was reworked as a title-page in honor of the marriage of the Duke Paolo Spinola to the Princes Anna Colonna, and bears the date Perugia 1653; the arms of the two families are engraved on the tilted cartouches at top. The title-page also carries the credit, in the architrave below the dedication, ?Gio. Jacomo Rossi formis Romae alla Pace, all insegna di Parigi. ? The watermark is not in Briquet. Intermittent foxing and occasional light soiling; one plate with a clean tear at one corner, with old mend; a few light touches in pencil; nice impressions.
