PIERRE MORTIER 1661-1711
VE DE SEBENICO/PLAN DE SEBENICO/PORT DE SEBENICO 1704 AMSTERDAM
|
Esemplare tratto dal primo volume del "Nouveau Theatre de l'Italie" pubblicato ad Amsterdam nel 1704/5 e nel 1724, quale integrazione al progetto di Johannes Baleu, iniziato nel 1663, del grande "libro delle citta", manchevole delle piante di gran parte della parte settentrionale della penisola. Il Blaeu, durante la sua lunga attivita' editoriale pubblica tre volumi sulle citta' italiane. Nel 1663 i primi tre, suddivisi in Stato della Chiesa, Roma e Regno di Napoli e Sicilia. Alla sua morte i suoi eredi danno alla luce altri due volumi datati 1682 incentrati sulle citta' del Piemonte e della Savoia, poi ristampati da altri editori nel 1693 e 1697. Il francese Pierre Mortier pubblica una ristampa nel 1704/5, intitolata Nouveau Theatre de l'Italie. L'opera e' in quattro volumi e comprende le lastre del Blaeu, ritoccate e modificate in piccola parte, integrate dall'aggiunta di numerose nuove mappe di proprio disegno, raffiguranti le citta' della parte settentrionale della penisola, racchiuse nel primo volume dell'opera. L'atlante del Mortier venne pubblicato con testo latino, francese ed olandese. La particolarita' che differenzia le due edizioni di Blaeu e Mortier e' rappresentata dal fatto che il testo non e' al verso della singola mappa (che quindi e' bianca nel retro), ma si trova all'inizio di ogni singolo volume. Il grande successo dell'opera diede origine ad un'ulteriore ristampa, praticamente identica, curata da R. Alberts ed edita nel 1724/5. Incisione in rame, in buono stato di conservazione.

SERRE (Jean-Adam):
Essais sur Les Principes, ou l'on traite De la Theorie de l'Harmonie en general, Des Droits respectifs de l'Harmonie & de la Melodie, De la Basse Fondamentale, Et de l'Origine du Mode Mineur.
|
A Paris, Chez Prault Fils..., 1753. First Edition FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [viii], 160, 2 engraved plates of music, all edges uncut, recent half calf, morocco label, marbled boards; repair to fore-margin of A5, second plate slightly water-stained, occasional browning of text. Although Serre (1704 - 1788) had skills in physics, chemistry, and painting, his theories of music probably represent his best abilities. He is interested in both the theoretical and practical aspects of harmony, and his ideas exerted a good deal of influence in the 18th century. He developed his ideas on harmony further in his Observations sur les Principes de l'Harmonie in 1763. Both works were reprinted in 1967.

[HUTTON, Charles.]
THE LADIES' DIARY: OR WOMAN'S ALMANACK, FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 1777 [-88]; ... containing many improvements in arts and sciences, and many entertaining particulars: designed for the use and diversion of the fair-sex. 12 volumes in 2.
|
[London:] Printed for the Company of Stationers, and sold by George Hawkins, ..., 1777-88. 8vo, (173x112mm), 48;48;48;48;48;48; 48;48;48;48;48;48p. printed in red and black with a woodcut on the titles and cuts and diagrams in the texts, tax stamp on the titles. The run preserved in two volumes in a contemporary binding of purple paper over limp boards with ms. back-labels. Typographic bookplate of Matthew Flinders, Donnington, Lincolnshire in each volume. A very good collection. The seventy-fourth to eighty-fifth annual appearances of this influential almanac founded in 1704 by John Tipper a Coventry schoolmaster. By this period it was edited by the mathematician Charles Hutton, Professor at Woolwich Academy and both Fellow and Secretary of the Royal Society. The Ladies' Diary was aimed primarily at the new market of educated, leisured, middle-class women and its most successful feature was an annual set of riddles or 'enigmas' in verse. Readers sent in their solutions, also in verse, and were doubtless gratified to see their names and addresses in print and to win one of the prizes as, equally doubtless, were those who are also named and who contributed worthy efforts. The Ladies' Diary was not, however, merely light entertainment and, as in these issues, also included mathematical problems described as another form of enigma. This remarkable assemblage in its contemporary binding is given an added attraction by the presence in each volume of the bookplate of Matthew Flinders, the father of one of the world's foremost navigators.

Miscellany Poems: As Satyrs, epistles, Love-verses, songs, sonnets, &c.
|
By W. Wycherley, Esq; [sic] London: Printed for C. Brome, J. Taylor, and B. Tooke; at the Gun at the West-End of St. Paul's, the Ship in St. Paul's Church-Yard, and at the Middle-Temple Gate, Fleet- Street, 1704. F'cap folio, watermarked BS/L in a ruled circle; fine mezzotint portrait frontispiece of the author when aged 28, by I. Smith after P. Lely (subscribed `Quantum mutatus ab illo'!); nothing else called for before title-leaf; pp.[xlvi]+[2 (seventeen-entry Errata, verso blank)]+438; a - i, k - m2, A - I, K - U, X - Z, Aa - Ii, Kk - Uu, Xx - Zz, Aaa - Iii4; contemporary full sprinkled panelled calf, ruled and tooled blind on sides, gilt on edges, spine tooled gilt, black lettering-piece; sprinkled burnished edges. Indifferently, but strongly, re-backed with remains of original spine laid on, later lettering-piece and free end-papers, but most of the original paste-downs preserved; small hole in blank fore-margin of A4, small piece lacking from blank upper margin of G1, small hole to blank inner margin of Kk1, small defect to blank lower margin of Ggg3, all original paper flaws; small chip to blank lower margin of Dd2 due to a trimming fault; short tear to blank lower margin of Tt4, which possibly occured during printing; otherwise internally very fine and crisp. The first issue, without the correction slip reading `The End' pasted over the words `The End of the First Volume' on Iii4v (plans to publish a further volume having evidently been abandoned after a slow initial sale). Apparently a large paper copy, measuring 12 3/4" x 8" after trimming, and with considerable margins even to the portrait (described by Pforzheimer as "the most famous of literary mezzotints"), which, when found at all, is frequently cut into by the binder. Pforzheimer, 1101; Foxon, p.907; Wither to Prior, 1085; Hayward, 138; Lowndes, IV, 3005. All books listed by Robert Temple are of the first edition and the first printing unless otherwise described.

London:: C. Brome, J. Taylor and B. Tooke,, 1704.. First Edition, First Issue.. Early 20th-century gilt-panelled and -tooled two-toned speckled calf, spine gilt, all edges gilt , gilt dentelles by Riviere; some light rubbing at joints and extremities, some minor chipping at spine ends), marbled endpapers, slight marginal chipping to last leaves, minor occ. stains, else very clean with wide margins and good paper.#11;. Folio.320 x 210 mm. Mezzotint frontispiece of Wycherley after Lely. Wycherley, William (bap. 1641, d. 1716), playwright & poet. OWycherley still had a mass of unpublished literary manuscripts of poems, scraps of poems, and the like. In the late 1690s he tried to make some money by printing some of these poems, and the bookseller Samuel Briscoe issued proposals for a subscription volume in 1696. They ended up in a dispute over money, and Wycherley was again arrested for debt. It was not until 1704 that Wycherley's large folio of Miscellany Poems appeared. It was badly misjudged. Poems on a woman's OFair Back-SideO and on another's OFine BreastsO were entirely at odds with the new, chaster sensibility, and for its preface the work has a thirty-page torrent of abuse on those Owho were my Critics before they were my ReadersO...Wycherley's legacy was not only literary but also biographical. Posterity saw him as the type of the wicked, attractive, brilliant Restoration wit, rake, and gallant.O [Oxford DNB]#11;FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, with title dated 1704 before the remainder copies were issued with a new title dated 1706, and without the correction slip "The End" usually found pasted over "The End of the First Volume" at the foot of the last page.

this is the 1704 first edition; [4 leaves] (beginning with title), xiv, [2] (errata leaf), [331] (misnumbered as 131), [5] (contents) pp., 16 plates with two of them folding; contemporary paneled calf now rubbed and worn with joints partially split and front hinge cracked, armorial book plate of the Earl of Ilchester, worming in bottom margin or lower outside corner almost throughout but no severe and no letters or images touched, The Formosan Alphabet plate missing the bottom portion with loss of almost half the content, the funeral plate lacks one tip with no loss; the great Formosa fraud, successful largely because Europeans (with the exception of a few Jesuits) were totally ignorant of the subject and the author, whose real identity is still unknown, kept his description exotic but not implausible; see Adams (Travelers & Travel Liars) pp. 93-97 and many others

Leyden, Pieter vander Aa, 1704.4to. Modern marbled boards. With engraved frontispiece and 5 folding engraved plates. 86 (=89),(11) pp.*The first part is a translation of Girolamo Benzoni's (1518/19-1570) La Historia del mondo nuovo, Venice, 1565. Benzoni went in 1541 as a soldier in the Spanish army at an age of 22 from Milan to the New World. He spent the next 15 years stationed at various posts throughout America. 'It is valuable as an early record of the establishment of Europeans in America written from a non-Spanish standpoint. The woodcuts are of particular interest: engraved from the author's own drawings, they illustrate the daily life of the Indians and some of the natural resources of the country' (Howgego p.107). . He describes vividly the Spanish cruelties committed against the Indians. The second part contains the voyages of Amerigo Vespucci (1451-1512). The account of Hennepin called for on the title-page is not present, it was also issued separately. - ( Age-browned; upper outer corner occasionally waterstained).Tiele 88; Cat.
