La Chambre, Marin Cureau De (1594-1669)
Art De Connoistre Les Hommes
|
1660. Acceptable Amsterdam: Chez Iacques le Jeune, 1660. 1st Edition. [8]+431+[7]pp. Engraved title-page. 12mo. Attractively rebound in later 20th century calf-backed marbled boards with morocco spine label and raised spine bands. Lacks the last leaf of the table-of-contents at the rear, else an attractive copy in a pleasant modern binding. Uncommon. Translated into English in 1665 as The Art How to Know Men. Wellcome II, p. 419; Caillet 2728. 10.0 ounces = 285 grams. 5.9 x 3.6 x 1.0 inches = 14.8 x 9 x 2.5cm. An important 17th century French work on character. Both this and La Chambre's Les caracteres des passions (Amsterdam: 1658-63) are significant period contributions to psychology. Writing in an age when science and pseudoscience still weren't separate, La Chambre wrote works on the passions, chiromancy, light and rainbows, and animal rationality. La Chambre was physician to Chancellor Seguier, as well as to Louis XIII & Louis XIV. He was one of the early members of the French Academy in 1635, and later in 1666 one of the first members of the Academy of Sciences. He had been a protoge of Cardinal Richelieu, who approved the fact that as early as 1634 he chose to publish in French rather than Latin.

Goethe, Johann Wolfgang:
Band 15/I und 15/II: Italienische Reise. Herausgegeben von Christoph Michel und Hans-Georg Dewitz. 2 Bände.
|
- Frankfurt am Main: Deutscher Klassiker Verlag, 1660 Seiten, Originalleinen mit Schutzumschlag. Kl. Einriß in einem Schutzumschlag, sonst sehr gut.Originalpreis 144 Euro. - Goethes Auseinandersetzung mit dem Lebensthema "Italien" kann in ihrer Vielgestaltigkeit und Produktivität nicht von dem scheinbar "homogenen" Kunstwerk Italienische Reise her eingesehen werden. Die vorliegende Ausgabe bietet daher -neben dem freilich an erster Stelle stehenden Hauptwerk - eine Vielzahl literarischer Formen: das Reisetagebuch für Frau von Stein, die "Merkur"-Aufsätze über Italien, die "Kollektaneen" zu einer kulturgeographischen und -historischen Landeskunde mit zivilisationskritischem Einschlag sowie Notizen, Entwürfe und Schemata zu einem "Corpus italicum" in Erstdrucken und Nachlaßtexten; diese werden nach den Handschriften gedruckt. Teil 1 der Edition enthält die vollständige Italienische Reise, einschließlich des Zweiten Römischen Aufenthalts, das Tagebuch der italienischen Reise für Frau von Stein sowie zahlreiche - teils farbige - Abbildungen. In Teil 2 sind die weiteren Texte Goethes zum Thema "Italien" versammelt, dazu der ausführliche Gesamtkommentar sowie Bibliographie und Register. ISBN 3618603509 [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Making arrangements for a visit to Boston, in an autograph letter, signed17 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)

Emilano già vescovo di Trevi Città antichissma dell’Umbria, hoggi Terra nobilissima, illustrata con il pretioso Sangue di così inuitto Eroe, e suoi Compagni; Tradotta di lingua latina in volgare da Tolomeo Petrelli Lucarini, uno dell’ouile di sì degno Pastore; Assieme con la vita del B. Ventura Eremita di detta Terra; Cauata dal Compendio del Sig. D. Muzio Petroni Dottore di detta Terra. Dato in luce per consolazione de diuoti di detti gloriosi Serui di Dio. In Fuligno, per Antonio Mariotti, 1694.
|
- In 4, [mm. 211 x 140], pp. VIII – 27 – (1) con grande incisione in xilografia raffigurante S. Emiliano ed altra, sempre piena pagina raffigurante il Beato Ventura da Trevi. Il verso di p. 19 è bianco, segue poi la xilografia del Beato Ventura, anch’essa con il verso bianco, quindi la vita che inizia con una pagina malnumerata ancora con il 19. Al frontespizio stemma del Vescovo di Spoleto Marcello Durazzo, Legato di Bologna, cui è dedicata l’opera. Capilettera floreali e finali xilografati. In fine grande stemma araldico tripartito sormontato da un elmo probabilmente dell’autore. Legatura in mezza pergamena moderna con carta marmorizzata. Angoli in pergamena. Esemplare perfetto su carta pesante con correzioni di alcune lettere ad inchiostro. L’autore spiega di aver deciso di riscriverne la vita perché se ne era quasi perso il ricordo così come ormai in pochi possedevano la vita del Beato Ventura scritta in latino da Muzio Petroni e quindi di averne curato un compendio tradotto. La vita di S. Emiliano deriva dunque dai martirologi più antichi: nato in Armenia giunse in Italia, a Spoleto nel 296 d.C. e venne nominato vescovo di Trevi dal papa Marcellino I nel 298. L’imperatore Massimiano lo sfidò a risanare un paralitico pregando il suo Dio mentre i suoi sacerdoti avrebbero pregato gli dei pagani. Questi ultimi che non erano riusciti a risanare il malato mentre Emiliano invece lo risollevò, convinsero l’imperatore a sottoporlo al martirio. Prima fra i carboni ardenti, poi cercò di farlo mangiare da leoni e leopardi che invece presero a leccarlo come cagnolini - così è raffigurato nella grande xilografia iniziale, dove ha il pastorale con due leoni ai piedi - infine quando, dopo averlo legato ad un giovane olivo cercarono di tagliargli la testa, la prima spada si piegò poi quando finalmente riuscirono a nell’intento, il suo corpo divenne candido e non sgorgò sangue, ma latte. L’ulivo si riempì invece di frutti: a quei prodigi i carnefici si chinarono a baciare il corpo chiedendo perdono. Era il 28 gennaio del 302 d.C. ed il martirio avvenne nel luogo detto, un terzo di miglio dal fiume Clitunno. Al martirologio segue una pagina di fonti utilizzate per scriverne la vita e quindi la descrizione del ritrovamento delle reliquie che erano state portate d Santa Abondantia, vedova spoletina, nella chiesa cattedrale di S. Maria a Spoleto per meglio proteggerle dai barbari. Il 22 aprile del 1660, vennero fortuitamente rinvenute mentre si gettavano le fondamenta di un pilastro, furno subito nascoste in attesa dell’arrivo a Spoleto del vescovo Cardinale Facchinetti che donò ai trevani una mascella del santo che venne portato con gran pompa a Trevi il 17 gennaio 1661 e chiusa in una cassa di cui avevano le chiavi il Capitolo della Chiesa, il Magistrato e Giacomo Valenti. Nello stesso anno venne donata alla città anche la pietra che conteneva le reliquie e gli strumenti del martirio e portata nella stessa chiesa di S. Emiliano dove tuttora è visibile. La vita del Beato Ventura, nato a Pissignano, venne ritrovata nel convento di S. Francesco e, a dire del Petroni era antichissima. Il beato, raffigurato nella xilografia con abito da monaco, un rosario in mano, sullo sfondo di una chiesetta trascorse la vita eremitica in una grotta, in mortificazioni corporali e penitenze dando l’esempio di una vita di santità ai popoli della valle spoletina. Nel 1310 i Trevani portarono il suo corpo nella chiesa di San Francesco, e lo deposero dietro l’altare dedicato a Maria. Il tipografo Antonio Mariotti iniziò la sua attività nel 1677 usando i materiali dell’Alterij e continuò a stampare fino al 1708. Stampò anche a Bevagna ed aprì un’altra officina a Spello, gestita dal figlio Ubaldo, ma operò anche ad Assisi, Nocera e Fabriano, producendo opere di non grande mole e popolari: come il primo foglio di avvisi intitolato "Fuligno" del 1680, il primo ad essere stampato in Umbria e uno dei più antichi d’Italia, o diversi lunari.

VENNER, TOBIAS
VIA RECTA AD VITAM LONGAM. OR, A TREATISE WHERE IN THE RIGHT WAY AND BEST MANNER OF LIVING FOR ATTAINING TO A LONG AND HEALTHFULL LIFE, IS CLEARLY DEMONSTRATED AND PUNCTUALLY APPLIED TO EVERY AGE AND CONSTITUTION OF BODY. . . . LONDON: ABEL ROPER, 1660.
|
Later edition 4to. [vi], 404, [8] pp., including index and leaf of publisher's advertisements. With an engraved frontispiece portrait of Venner at age 85, lacking in many copies. Woodcut headpiece and inititals. Contemporary calf, rebacked; an excellent copy. The "fourth impression" according to the title page, "amplified with many profitable additions." However, it is a later edition, this work being extremely popular and reprinted many times after the first edition of 1620. One of the most popular books on diet and health of this period, Venner (1577-1660) did a great deal to create an understanding throughout the general population of the significance of healthy diet and habits. He speaks to everyday issues from how much meat should be consumed, and how it should be prepared, to the use of tobacco and alcohol and the effect on the body.

- Amsterdam, Apud Joannem Janssonium. 1660. Oblong-4to. Contemporary full calf, spine with traces of wear. (8), 62, (2) pp. With 31 fullpage engraved maps and 7 textual engravings. Title-page neatly restored and first 4 pages with repairs in lower right corner not affecting text. With the bookplate of H. Coyet-Torup in Sweden. Rare and charming atlas of Ancient Greece with maps by Lauremberg, edited by Pufendorf. Most expositions of Pufendorf overlook the fact that the famous Heidelberg-professor not only worked within the fields of law and history of law, but that he was also very much engaged in philology and classics. In fact, Pufendorf taught classes and gave lectures on philology at in Heidelberg, and he also been involved in publications in this field, namely as the editor of works by Lauremberg and Meursius. As such, Pufendorf came to be connected to an important and long philosophical tradition at the Heidelberg University. The present charming and well executed atlas thus stands at the centre of this subject field of Pufendorf.Johannes Laurenberg (1590-1658) was a mathematician born in Rostock in Germany. He was a professor of poetry in Rostock and after that professor of mathematics in Sorø, Denmark, where he worked till he died. In 1631 the Danish King Christian IV commissioned Laurenberg to do the mapping of Denmark. For the next 16 years he worked on this project and corresponded with the king. The work was never finished, though, and in 1645 the king lost his patience and fired Laurenberg. In 1647 Janssonius published his Atlas Novus, which contained two maps from Denmark in high quality. It is most likely that Laurenberg drew these maps. See Bramsen, pp. 68-72. Shirley II, p. 1557.

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 politische [Attributes: Hard Cover]

Second edition, enlarged and edited by the author's friend and disciple Gaspar Schott, of Kircher's only work devoted entirely to astronomy; the first edition was published in 1656 with the title Itinerarium exstaticum. "Itinerarium exstaticum is one of Kircher's most curious works. He wrote the treatise in the form of a narrative in which a certain Theodidactus -- Kircher himself -- is caught up in a dream-vision or an ecstatic journey and is guided through the heavens by a spirit named Cosmiel...In the first dialogue, Kircher recounts the journey to the moon, which he finds scarred with mountains and craters, contrary to the Aristotelian view. He flies on to Venus, which he discovers is made of the four elements, and so on to each of the other planets and through the region of the fixed stars. The sun itself has blemishes, Kircher proclaims. He himself had seen sunspots through a telescope several years earlier... "Kircher rejected the Aristotelian and Ptolemaic cosmologies in favor of that of Tycho Brahe (1546-1601), who argued that the sun orbits the earth and is in turn orbited by the planets and the fixed stars. The Tychonian system was adopted by most of Kircher's fellow Jesuits, since it allowed them to maintain geocentric orthodoxy while espousing, at least in part, the new, more scientific heliocentricity advocated by the Copernicans. Kircher broaches this subject more directly in the second dialogue, where he deals with the creations of the earth, its position in the universe, its various characteristics and limitations, and finally, its eventual destruction. To support his views Kircher cites scriptural and scientific authorities in his conclusion. Among the latter are the astronomer Johannes Hevelius, the influential astronomer and meteorologist Gottfried Wendelin, Galileo, and other less-orthodox scientists of his day. This scientific, religious, and semi-mystical work testifies to Kircher's dubious poise at the juncture of two ages."-Merrill, Athanasius Kircher, pp. 26-27. Fine copy. Engraved armorial stamp of "Bibliotheca Raschkiana" on title. Merrill, Athanasius Kircher, 12. .

Isabel Rivers
Reason, Grace, and Sentiment
|
Cambridge University Press. New Hardcover NEW The period 1660-1780 saw major changes in the relationship between religion and ethics in English thought. In this first part of an important two-volume study, Isabel Rivers examines the rise of Anglican moral religion and the reactions against it expressed in nonconformity, dissent and methodism. Her study investigates the writings that grew out of these movements, combining a history of the ideas of individual thinkers (including both prominent figures such as Bunyan and Wesley and a range of lesser writers) with analysis of their characteristic terminology, techniques of persuasion, literary forms and styles. The intellectual and social milieu of each movement is explored, together with the assumed audiences for whom the texts were written. The book provides an accessible, wide-ranging and authoritative new interpretation of a crucial period in the development of early modern religious and moral thought.

HOWELL, JAMES
Lexicon tetraglotton, an English-French-Italian-Spanish dictionary! With another volume of the choicest proverbs!
|
London, 1660-[59]. First edition, folio, engraved frontispiece after W. Faithorn, title printed in red and black, text primarily in triple column; entry words in English throughout; a pleasing copy in full contemporary calf, unrestored; gilt spine, red morocco label; with the half-title (also printed in red and black); some cracking of joints at the extremities, the whole a bit scuffed and rubbed, sections of the text significantly spotted, but generally a good, sound copy. In addition to the proverbs, the book contains prefatory poems on language, a 6-p. note "To the tru philologer," and many separate sections at the back giving terminology in a number of specific jargons: i.e. anatomy, horsemanship, hunting and venery, military, nautical, architecture and "household stuff", among others. Howell (?1594-1666) was an accomplished linguist and historiographer to Charles II (see DNB for a long description of his sometimes checkered career). Besides being one of the first Englishmen to earn a livelihood out of literature, he possessed a rare mastery of the modern languages, including his native Welsh. In addition to this polyglot, Howell issued a revised edition of Cotgrave's French-English Dictionary in 1650; A New English Grammar for Foreigners (1662); and a posthumously published French grammar (1673).

The Trading World of Asia and the English East India Company 1660-1760
|
Cambridge University Press. New Please note that deliveries to addresses in the UK and Europe will be in 4-14 business days. Other countries should refer to Alibris standard times. The main contribution of the work is to offer a comprehensive history of the English East India Company during the century 1660-1760. It also examines the commercial economy of the Asian countries in which the Company traded and its political relations with Asian princes. Finally, it is a study of business and economic decision-making under pre-modern conditions. The book is based on an extensive analysis of the quantitative and qualitative material available in the Company's archives. The data-processing of the quantitative evidence and its subsequent statistical analysis was carried out on a computer, and the book contains comprehensive tables on the volume and value of the Company's trade, prices of commercial goods, and on monetary and financial history. The extensive scope of the book and its consideration not only of the Company but of the economies in which it operated make it essential reading for all concerned with the economic history of the period, both of Europe and Asia. The techniques used in analysing the original data and their theoretical framework make it of methodological interest to economic historians. ISBN10: 0521031591.
