KIRCHER, Athanasius
Iter Extaticum Coeleste...hac secundâ editione Praelusionibus & Scholiis illustratum...a P. Gaspare Schotto...Accessit...Iter Exstaticum Terrestre, & Synopsis Mundi Subterranei
|
Added engraved title, finely engraved arms on verso of printed title, & 12 engraved plates. 12 p.l. (incl. added title), 689, [18] pp. Thick 4to, cont. sheep-backed speckled boards (minor foxing), spine richly gilt. Wurzburg: Heirs of J.A. & W.J. Endter, 1660.pSecond 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.. First Edition. Hard cover.

[MUSÉE DU LOUVRE (PARIS). POUSSIN, NICOLAS (1595-1665), ...
[Suite of Four Engravings: Les Quatres Saisons].
|
[c1660's]. Four copper engravings from Tome I of the Cabinet du Roi (Tableaux). Sheet sizes approx 67.5 x 94 cm each. Contents: Le Printemps. Plate mark: 47.5 x 62.5 cm, 1st state (W. 174). L'Esté. 48 x 62 cm, 1st state (W. 175). L'Automne. 47.5 x 62 cm, 1st state (W. 176). L'Hiver. 48 x 62 cm, 1st state (W. 177). Inscription varies. Text in French and Latin. Small blind embossed stamps in lower margin. Pencilled numbers in margin; paper somewhat dusty; very light spotting in gutter of Le Printemps and on top edge and gutter of L'Esté; small ink blot outside print mark on one plate; but images clean and sharp. Wildenstein, Georges: "Les Graveurs de Poussin au XVIIe Siècle", Paris 1957, 174-177. The remarkable collection of engravings known as the Cabinet du Roi originated with Louis XIV's minister Jean-Baptiste Colbert (1619-1683), who commissioned engravers to create designs for the King's tapestries and furniture. Colbert set up a workshop and repository called the Chalcographie du Louvre to employ engravers and printers, and to conserve the copperplates produced for the engravings. As early as 1662, engravings were made to record special celebrations given by the King at Versailles. They were well-received, and by an order in council in 1667, an enormous artistic endeavour was undertaken to record the King's collections of paintings, sculpture, and coins, as well plans for gardens and buildings, and the interior decoration of the royal residences. Beginning in 1670, these engravings were published in volumes and presented as gifts to visiting dignitaries. To offset the cost of production, Colbert offered restrikes of them for sale, and in 1727, the first complete set of the Cabinet du Roi engravings was published in 23 volumes. Nicolas Poussin was born and educated in Normandy, and at the age of 18 left for the art studios of Paris. Inspired by the Italian masters, he eventually went to Rome, where patrons such as Cardinal Francesco Barberini encouraged him to produce a range of canvases with classical and biblical themes. He returned to Paris under Louis XIII and painted large tableaux for the royal homes, patterns for Gobelins tapestries and many works for the Louvre. The lion's share of engravings made for the Tableaux volume of the Cabinet du Roi series were from Poussin's paintings, reproduced by prominent engravers Audran, Baudet, Pesne, Rousselet and Claudine Stella, among others. This set, in the 1st state, according to Wildenstein, is scarce.

Enchuysen, Jacob Hendricksz., 1660.. Sm.8vo. With woodcut vignette on title, title within woodcut borders. 127, (1) pp.. Enkhuizen imprint of a very rare popular Dutch schoolbook, which although announced as a grammar is foremost an A B Book, and a reading- and spelling-exercise book, supported by explanations of Dutch grammar. The motto, a typical A B motto, on title reads: "Een Kind dat letters leert, verkeert, of dat versma'lijk, 'T wel-spellen over-slaat: leest all' sijn leven qualijk" (A child learning his letters wrongly or omitting the right spelling, will all his life have trouble with reading). The book is printed in Gothic as well as in Roman lettertypes. Dafforne who for some time resided in London, called himself a Dutch and English language teacher, and his present Dutch A B book was a.o. used for the English-Dutch grammars by Hexham and Beyer. Good copy of a very rare A B book.- (Frontwrapper missing; old ink stains on title; sl. dog-eared). Cat. Van Rijn 220 (first Amsterdam ed. of 1627); Carter-Vervliet 364 (idem); Loonen p. 328 (idem); cf. Bibelebontse Berg p. 115; not in NUC.

REYNOLDS, Edward & others]
A seasonable exhortation of sundry ministers in London to the people of their respective congregations.
|
London, printed by E.M. for Samuel Gellibrand a the golden Ball in Pauls Church-yard; and Robert Gibbs at the golden Ball in Chancery Lane. 1660 - 4to., title printed within a typographical border, (4) + 24pp., minor soiling a staining in several leaves, but a good copy preserved in modern wrappers with printed title label on upper cover. First edition. Wing R.1276. After the death of Oliver Cromwell (Sept. 1658), Reynolds was recognised as the leader of the moderate presbyterian divines or 'reconcilers'. He and other presbyterians sought an accommodation with Richard Cromwell, and in October 1658, on the behalf of himself and other London presbyterian ministers, delivered an oral address to the new Protector. He preached at the opening session of Parliament in 1659, and throughout 1659 and 1660 his sermons to Parliament and London notables became increasingly pointed about the need for peace, unity, and moderation, codes for the restoration of the monarchy and accommodation with episcopalians. He was the prime mover behind A seasonable exhortation in January 1660, which condemned sectaries and urged an understanding with Anglicans. Throughout the summer and autumn of 1660 Reynolds continued to push for a moderate episcopacy acceptable to presbyterians and Anglicans, and he helped to draft the King's Worcester House declaration that October. He was about then made Bishop of Norwich. [Ian Atherton in ODNB]. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

"A scruple as Taylor defined it is in psychiatric terminology today called an irrational fear or obsessional phobia. He recognized that the patient 'knows not what or why' he fears, in other words that his anxiety is unconsciously determined. He also made the valid observation that the mood of the obsessional is fundamentally sad even though he does not appear so, because an obsessive-compulsive neurosis is a means of warding off expected or dreaded evil or punishment. In the account of William Oseney [quoted later], the illness began with overscrupulosity in religious matters, sometimes an early symptom of impending mental breakdown with which priests are more familiar than psychiatrists.

Titel, Vorsatz mit Bibliotheksstempel. Insgesamt sauberes Exemplar mit nur wenigen winzigen Braunfleckchen. Brunet III, 1733. - Wohl erste in England gedruckte Ausgabe. Salmasius (Claude de Saumaise, 1588-1653), franz. Gelehrter u. vorzüglicher Kenner klass. u. orient. Sprachen, studierte in Paris u. Heidelberg. Als Univ.-Prof. in Leiden (seit 1632) entfaltete er eine ausgedehnte literarische Tätigkeit, bei der er wegen seiner Stellungnahmen zu theol. u. polit. Fragen in lebhafte Auseinanersetzugen mit andren Gelehrten geriet u. erhielt einen weitverzweigten Briefwechsel. Nach Ermordung Karls I. nahm er für das englische Königtum Stellung u. geriet dadurch in Schlagabtausch mit John Milton. In 1649 verfasste Salmasius auf Ansuchen d. exilierten Königs Karl II. von England zugunsten d. unter Cromwell hingerichteten Karl I. u. d. Monarchie die "Defensio Regia pro Carolo I". Dagegen rechtfertigte Milton in seiner Schrift "Pro populo Anglicano Defensio" die Revolution u. die Parlamentsrechte, worauf Salmasius mit "Responsio ad J. Miltonem" antwortete.

Reconnu comme le fondateur de la cartographie française, Nicolas Sanson quitta sa ville natale d'Abbeville pour Paris, où il rencontra Richelieu en 1627. Ce dernier, très impressionné par son oeuvre cartographique, le présenta au roi Louis XIII qui le nomma Géographe Ordinaire du Roi. Il fut le premier, en France, à concevoir un atlas mondial et publia près de trois cents cartes. Bon exemplaire.

English Science: Bacon to Newton
|
Cambridge University Press. Seventeenth-century England witnessed an unprecedented flourishing of natural philosophy, inspired by Francis Bacon's call for a new science based on observation and experiment, to be carried out in collective research projects, whose findings would be communicated in clear language. This anthology documents the effect of Bacon's ideas in the remarkably fruitful period following 1660. It includes his sketch of a scientific research institute in the New Atlantis (1627), which inspired the founding of the Royal Society in 1662, as acknowledged by Thomas Sprat in its History, excerpted here. Bacon's plea for an appropriate language for science also affected the Royal Society, as Sprat records, and gave birth to a number of schemes for man-made artificial languages, represented here by John Wilkins's Essay Towards a Real Character and a Philosophical Language (1668). This reader gives full coverage to the dramatic understanding of nature achieved through experiments using newly developed scientific instruments: Robert Boyle's investigation of air pressure; Hooke and Henry Power's mastery of the microscope; and Isaac Newton's use of the prism to show that light is not homogeneous but composed of many different colours. The selections are accompanied by a general introduction, extensive notes, contemporary illustrations, a glossary of obsolete and technical terms and an updated bibliography. ISBN10: 0521316839.
