3 p.l. (lacking the first leaf, a blank; title a little soiled), 143, 152-66 pp. Small 4to, cont. English limp vellum. London: N. Okes for N. Bourne, 1623. First edition of one of the great early English accounts of the exploration of the interior of Africa and the first to be published separately (others appear in collections); it is a classic account of the search for gold. Ghana, the earliest known empire of the western Sudan, first entered the historical consciousness of North Africa near the end of the eighth century but probably originated long before. Famous to North Africans as the "Land of Gold," Ghana (which, apart from its name, has no historical connection with modern-day Ghana) was said to possess sophisticated methods of administration and taxation, large armies, and a monopoly over the notoriously well-concealed gold mines. Ghana was the main supplier of gold in the trans-Saharan trade, which linked the Mediterranean economies that demanded gold - and could supply salt - to the sub-Saharan economies, where gold was abundant. In 1620, "Jobson (fl. 1620-23), merchant and travel writer…was sent as one of the supercargoes on the third of a series of expeditions up the Gambia River undertaken by a group of London entrepreneurs who had in 1619 been granted a crown patent to trade in west Africa.

23/8/1623. Bella e rarissima lettera autografo di Guido Reni - Bologna 23/8/1623. In-8° (22,5 x 18,5 cm.) in 13 righe firmata e datata. 5 forellini ma ben conservata. Rèni, Guido. - Pittore (Bologna 1575 - ivi 1642). Tra i maggiori artisti del tempo, molto apprezzato dai contemporanei, operò a Roma, a Napoli ma soprattutto nella sua città natale. Vicino al classicismo carraccesco seppe darne un'interpretazione personale e controllata, che al di là dello studio dei classici lascia intravedere un reale apprezzamento della corposità barocca, all'interno di una struttra elegante e rigorosa e di un altissimo uso del colore.

In Fiorenza, appresso Pietro Cecconcelli alle Stelle Medicee, 1623, in-8 piccolo, cartonatura ottocentesca imitante una mezza pelle, pp. [16], 340, [ma: 372], [2].

Original Shakespeare leaf from FIRST FOLIO. Troylus and Cressida.This is an original leaf. It is NOT a reproduction, photocopy, poster or later impression. This leaf was salvaged from a woefully derelict copy of the First Folio, printed in London in 1623, and was part of a collection for leaves formed in England in the early 20th century.This leaf was compared to the same leaf in the Brandeis copy to verify accuracy of description. The Brandeis copy has "301" penciled in the lower outside corner of the recto. This leaf, numbered sequentially from the last leaf with a printed number, is leaf 91.All the text is complete. There is some folding as seen in the pictures but no loss of text. A bit of dampstaining appears in the margin. Edges are frayed with some edge-browning as seen in the illustrations. There is some mild soiling, mostly from ingrained dust. This leaf is entirely original as found in the collection and has not been restored or mucked with. The leaf measures about 8 x 12 1/2 inches and has the crown watermark.There are but 232 known copies of the First Folio remaining in the world from a printing of about 750-1000 copies. Many are incomplete. This leaf is therefore very rare and it is unlikely to appear elsewhere in any condition. I know of no other single First Folio leaves on the market (except those that were purchased from me). I have priced this leaf so that it represents a terrific opportunity to acquire an original leaf, at reasonable cost, from one of the most famous books in the English language.

267 leaves, including the Psalms, decorated head and tail pieces, initials etc translated by Fernando de Texeda at the instigation of John Williams, Bishop of Lincoln (1621-42) who paid for the printing. Texeda (aka T. Carrascon) was a Spanish protestant exile arriving in 1620 during the marriage negotiations of Charles I and Maria Anna of Spain. For his work translating the Anglican Book of Common Prayer Texeda was made a Prebendary of Nonnington in Hereford 1623-1631. bound in contemporary calf, worn, with gilt label, aeg,

Thy physician Claude Dariot (1533-94), immatriculated at Montpellier in 1553, was the municipal doctor of Beaune and flew to Geneva in 1572 as a Huguenot. He sought to reconcile the Galenic and Paracelsian school of medical thought: "Dariot obviously felt there was a great need for a simpler text on the Paracelsian remedies; this was his goal and the purpose of his book. And, writing of his preparation for this task, Dariot referred to his long work in the search of the secrets of Hermes, Arnald of Villanova, Geber, and Lullius, as well as those of Paracelsus and his followers" (Debus, The Chemical Philosophy, p. 157).

1623 En quatre feuilles jointes de 673 x 840 mm. Très rare première carte imprimée du diocèse de Reims, 1623 Grande carte gravée figurant la région de Reims, avec parties de la Brie, du Tardenois, du Rethelois et de la Thiérache. Le nord est orienté à droite de la carte, les villes principales comme Reims, Rethel ou Châlons-en-Champagne sont figurées par de petites vues cavalières. La carte est dédiée à Gabriel de Sainte-Marie, archevêque de Reims de 1622 à 1629. Il s'agit de la première carte imprimée du diocèse de Reims, dressée en 1623 par Jean Jubrien, topographe natif de Châlons, et l'un des cartographes régionaux les plus importants de la première moitié du XVII° siècle. Cette première édition datée de 1623 fut publiée en 1632 par Melchior Tavernier dans le Théâtre géographique du royaume de France. Une seconde édition datée de 1654 fut publiée par Antoine de Fer. Considérée comme l'une des cartes les plus exactes de la région, la carte de Jubrien servit de modèle à de nombreux cartographes jusqu'au XVIII° siècle. Le papier est légèrement froissé le long de la pliure centrale. Bel exemplaire, replié. Pastoureau, TAVERNIER II A.

"Je n'ai point trouvé de remède plus aisé ni plus salutaire à l'ennui qui m'affligeait il y a quelque temps, que de m'amuser à décrire une histoire qui tînt davantage du folâtre que du sérieux, de manière qu'une mélancolique cause à produit un facétieux effet. Jamais je n'eusse fait voir cette pièce, sans le désir que j'ai de montrer aux hommes les vices auxquels ils se laissent insensiblement emporter. Néanmoins, j'ai peur que cela soit inutile ; car ils sont si stupides pour la plupart, qu'ils croiront que tout ceci est plutôt pour leur donner du passe-temps que pour corriger leurs mauvaises humeurs.

Londini: Typis & impensis Guilielmi Stanesbeij, ex officinis Richardi Meighen & Thomae Dew Folio (33 cm; 13"). [4 (including initial blank!)] ff., xvi, 218 pp., [1 (blank)] f.; illus.. 1623 Editio princeps of the monk Eadmer's early-12th-century chronicle covering the Norman period of English history beginning with King Edgar. John Selden edited the text from a manuscript in the fabled Cotton Collection and in doing so presented England with "one of the ablest and valuable writings" since Bede (Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th ed.). Eadmer was a Benedictine monk who was an intimate of St. Anselm, and his biographer. Eadmer died around 1124. The title-page is printed in black and red, the text is in roman and italic type with bits of black-letter, and the margins have side- and shouldernotes. Leaves T3.4 are a cancel bifolium, as is apparently so in all copies. => There is a large woodcut on p. 166 of the seal of William the Conqueror. Provenance: Early 18th-century signatures in upper margin of title-page of James Worsley (probably of Pylewell Park, Hants.) and Peter La Neve (the Norroy King at Arms); later 18th-century ownership of Henry Whetonhall of Pecham in same margin. Late 17th-century speckled calf, abraded with scrapes; rebacked with new red spine label, new marbled endpapers. A waterstained copy and priced accordingly, the waterstaining being throughout and well across most pages, but typically not darker than "moderate"; complete, and with an interesting provenance.

- Kl.-4to (215 x 165 mm). Titel innerhalb gestochener Schmuckbordüre. [40], 508 S. Pergamentband d. Z. Frankfurt am Main, (Egenolff Emmel für) Gottfried Tambach, 1623. Editio princeps von Der Sonnenstaat (La città del Sole), eine der einflussreichsten neolateinischen Utopien, von grosser Seltenheit. Mit selbständigem Titel 'Civitas solis' erschien der Text als Appendix zum dritten Teil des Kompendiums Realis philosophiae epilogisticae partes quatuor, worin Campanella die Physik sowie den aristotelischen Kanon der praktischen Philosophie (Ethik, Politik, Oekonomik) behandelt. Das Werk wurde in der Gefangenschaft auf Italienisch verfasst und im Gefolge mehrfach überarbeitet. Nach dem Scheitern der neapolitanischen Revolte (1602) gelangte eine vom Verasser ins gelehrtere Latein übersetzte Handschrift zwischen 1611 und 1613 durch Tobias Adami nach Deutschland, wo sie schliesslich 1623 in Frankfurt in Druck ging. Campanellas Sonnenstaat oder Idee einer philosophischen Republik ist in seiner politischen Ausrichtung weder republikanisch, monarchisch noch aristokratisch, da die weltliche und geistliche Macht des Staatsoberhaupts 'Sol' (des Princeps magnus), keiner Kontrolle unterworfen und nicht erblich, sondern 'nur' ein Wahlamt ist. Den irgendwo im fernen Indischen Ozean auf einer Insel angesiedelten Idealstaat kennzeichnen eine deistische Staatsreligion, eine theokratische Verfassung, Agrarkommunismus, Gleichheit der Bürger, Kollektivbesitz, Weiber- und Kindergemeinschaft, Er ähnelt damit "in mancher Hinsicht einem gewaltigen Kloster" (H.-G. Funke in Vosskamp). Das in der Tradit … [Click Below for Full Description]

1623. Carta geografica tratta dal rarissimo "Anfiteatro d'Europa" edito a Venezia nel 1623. Il libro, scritto con testo di Giovanni Doglioni, fu pubbicato dall'editore veneziano Giacomo Sarzina. Illustrato da una carta del mondo e 33 carte dell'Europa ne testo. Stranamente le mappe sono riprese da quelle che illustrano l'Epitome di Ortelius incise da Philip Galle e non da quelle dell'edizione piarat dlela stessa opera pubblictaa a Brescia da Pietro Marchetti. Si tratta pertanto di nuove lastre, che presentano picocle differenze rispetto a quelle del Marchetti, alle quali ad un primo esame assomigliano. L'opera non fu mai ristampata ed è pertanto rara. Incisione in rame, inserita nella pagina di testo descrittivo alla carta, fori di tarlo, per il ersto in buono stato di conservazione. Map from the very rare "Anfiteatro d'Europa" published in Venice in 1623. The book was written by Giovanni Doglioni and it was published by the Venetian Giacomo Sarzina. Together with the text there are one world map and 33 maps of Europe. Oddly enough, these maps were realized after those shown in Ortelius Epitome, engraved by Philip Galle, and not after the pirate edition published by Pietro Marchetti in Venice. These are therefore new plates, presenting minor differences with those of Marchetti. The work has never been reissued and is quite rare. Copper engraving, included in the text page which described the map, wormholes, otherwise in good condition. Venezia Venice G. L. King, Miniature Antique Maps, p. 106. 110 80

Speed’s account of Great Britain from the time of the ancient Britons to the reign of Queen Elizabeth was first published in 1612 with the accompanying atlas volume The Theatre of the Empire of Great Britaine. Though revered more for his cartography, this work has been cited by generations of later scholars, particularly useful for its numerous woodcuts of coins and seals, engravings of royal genealogies, as well as lists of the early heads of religious houses, colleges and hospitals.

"Like most writers, Taylor never achieved the recognition he thought his due. Having successfully constructed a comic persona as the rhyming waterman, it was an impossible challenge to be accepted as a serious poet. His achievement was none the less impressive. As a literary entrepreneur and showman he was far more prosperous in his heyday than most writers; few watermen or struggling poets were also subsidy men or had to pay ship money. Taylor pursued a successful literary career for over fifty years, demonstrating a remarkable range, facility, and inventiveness. He played a pioneering role in the development of nonsense verse, popular political journalism, and travel writing" (ODNB).This volume includes the following works:1.

A Paris Chez Jean Daumalle 1623 1A Paris, Chez Jean Daumalle, 1623. Petit in-4 de (16)-176-(19) pp., maroquin vert, dos orné à nerfs, triple filet doré sur les plats, tranches dorées (reliure du XVIIIe siècle). Edition à l'adresse de Paris donnant le nom de l'auteur. 2 planches dont 1 double dite du « tombeau et (de) l'urne » : armoiries de Roger de Bellegarde gravées à pleine page par Fr. Guenebauld, fils de l'auteur et une planche double (tombeau et urne) gravée par Nicolas Spirinx et quelques figures sur bois dans le texte. Médecin et antiquaire à Dijon, Jean Guénebaud découvrit vers 1600, dans une de ses vignes, un tombeau de pierre de forme ronde, haut de 30 centimètres et renfermant une urne en verre, qui excita vivement l'attention de Saumaise, Casaubon et de Thou. D'après une inscription grecque grossièrement sculptée, ce tombeau était celui d'un grand prêtre nommé Chindonax. Ce monument fut donné par son fils au cardinal de Richelieu, et servit par la suite d'abreuvoir dans la basse-cour d'un curé de village. Bel exemplaire dans une reliure de qualité. Des rousseurs. Brunet, IV, 1257 : « Cet ouvrage est assez curieux, mais on ne recherche que les exemplaires où se trouve la planche qui représente le tombeau et l'urne » ; Caillet, II, 4819 ; Dorbon, 5940.

Rous war eigentlich Anhänger der Presbyter, sofern sie wahrhaftig und friedlich waren, aber der Autoritarismus der Schottischen Kirche widerlief seinem Toleranzgedanken. Dies brachte ihn zu den Independents und er unterstützte Cromwelll und Lord des Parlaments von 1657. Obwohl Laie, war Rous einer d. gelesenen Theologen, er vertrat moderaterweise seine Ideen, Demut und Toleranz waren ihm wichtig. Die mystische Konzeption der Bibel stellte er in anonyme römisch-katholische Schrift (Catholicke Charity). Rom wirft er vor, nicht barmherzig zu sein gegen die Protesta … [Click Below for Full Description]

Amsterdam: Jodocus Hondius, 1623. unbound. Map. Engraving. Image measures 14.5" x 15.5". This fine antique map is the first printed map dedicated to the Arctic Circle and the North Polar regions. Derived from an inset of the Arctic regions in Mercator's great 1569 world map, where he first introduced his revolutionary projection, here the scope is extended to the latitude of 60 degrees to enable the depictions of the Frobisher and Davis' attempts to search for the North West and North East Passages.<br><br>California curiously appears north of the Strait of Anian and is labeled as Spanish Territory. Across from Anian on the Asian coast, Mercator labels the land of Gog. This most likely references the regions of Gog and Magog appearing in the Hebrew Bible or to the legend of horse-riding barbarians from near the Don River and the Sea of Azov, locked up by Alexander the Great behind gates surrounded by the 'Caspian' or the Caucasus Mountains.<br><br>Perhaps the most intriguing feature here is the mapping of the North Pole. Since no explorers at this time had made it anywhere near the North Pole, Mercator based his depiction on the legend that a large rock (the Rupes Nigra) stood at the pole in the center of a whirlpool known as Polynya, or Open Polar Sea. Mercator is believed to be referencing the Inventio Fortunata, the lost book dating from the 14th century which describes the North Pole as a magnetic island surrounded by a giant whirlpool and four continents. The continents are separated by rivers through which warm water from the surrounding oceans flowed. Although Mercat … [Click Below for Full Description]
