[Antiphonar].MareMagnum

Einzelblatt aus einem Antiphonar. [Wohl Spanien, 18. Jahrhundert].

[Arithmetic textbook.] Clauzel, Pierre.MareMagnum

Livre d'arithmetiq[ue]. Mirepoix, 1764.

8vo. French manuscript on paper. 412 (but: 406) numbered pp., with pp. 227-228 skipped, 145-146 and 387-388 missing. With two folding tables. Contemporary brown sheepskin with label to spine. Interesting handwritten textbook of arithmetics with elaborate calligraphy by an otherwise unknown merchant named Pierre Clauzel from Lavelanet. The manuscript was probably executed in two phases, as pages 1-121 are rife with calligraphed titles, ornaments, borders, and marks in coloured ink, whereas the rest of the manuscript displays a plainer style in the same hand. - Clauzel signed both inner covers: the date added to the front, 3 December 1765, probably indicates the completion of the entire manuscript, despite the calligraphed title bearing the year 1764. According to the title, the textbook was compiled "under the direction of the Brothers of the Christian Schools of the town of Mirepoix". It is an introduction to arithmetics that does not go beyond basic operations, instead focusing on usefulness for merchants. Thus, the manuscript includes a wide variety of arithmetic operations for accounting, trade, financial transactions, etc., all demonstrated by aid of concrete examples. These varied and realistic practical specimens turn the manuscript into a valuable document for a history from below. For the "testament rule" Clauzet uses the example of a "merchant from Toulouse" who was attacked and "dangerously wounded" on the way to the "fair of Beaucaire". He wants to bequeath a certain sum to his pregnant wife and unborn child, with different portions of the sum being allotted either to a son or a daughter. The hypothetical wife ultimately gives birth two daughters and a son. Clauzet proposes a division rule to solve this unexpected problem. Another rule is a distribution key for a prize obtained by more than one ship, based on the number of sailors and cannons on board each ship. The manuscript closes with several examples for bills of exchange and copies of seven requests for payment by Pierre Clauzel. The two folding plates compare various measures of weight and length from France and other parts of Europe. - The congregation of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, also known as De La Salle Brothers, had been established by Jean-Baptiste de la Salle in Paris in 1694 with the goal of providing education to poor children. The chapter and school in Mirepoix had only been recently established when the manuscript was written. - Binding chafed and bumped. Unprofessional restorations to lower spine and front cover. With occasional ink damage. Two leaves show several tears but no text loss. Folding tables have tears and creases.

[Arznei- und Kochbuch].MareMagnum

Heilmittel- und Kochrezeptsammlung. Wohl Tirol, zweite Hälfte des 18. Jhs.

4to. Zus. ca. 255 SS. auf 147 Bll. (2), 158, 163-231, (62) SS. (davon 1½ SS. mit Register, S. 148-158, 163-183 und die letzten 4 SS. weiß). Deutsche Handschrift auf Papier. Mit kalligraphierten Überschriften. Halbpergamenteinband der Zeit mit marmorierten Buchdeckeln, Lederbändern und dreiseitigem grün-rot gefärbten Schnitt. Umfangreiche Sammlung von Heilmittel- und Kochrezepten, wohl von der Mitte bis zum Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts von mehreren Händen zusammengetragen. - Unter dem Titel "Arzney Buech" finden sich im ersten Teil des Manuskriptes (SS. 1-148) etwa 120 Heilmittelrezepte für Salben, Pflaster, Pillen, Pulver und Balsam, meist nach der Art der Mittel geordnet. Das Spektrum reicht vom "Salbl zum Schlaff machen" mit Muskatöl über ein "Pulffer des Lebens", das auch einige der schon seit Hildegard von Bingen bewährten Kräuter wie Muskat, Zitwer, Allant, Süßwurzel, Ingwer, Galgant, Zimt und Tausendgüldenkraut würdigt, oder ein "Recept der Pest Pillen von Wienn" bis zu Edelsteinheilmittel (SS. 109-112). Gegen Ende dieses Teiles finden sich auch einige Spirituosen, vom Branntwein bis hin zu Likören wie "Marillen-Roßolly" oder "edlen Schokolati Rosoli". - Die ordentliche breite Kurrentschrift wird auf S. 141 durch eine etwas kleinere und engere Handschrift abgelöst. In diesem Teil findet sich nach dem Rezept für "ein bewehrtes Raicher vor üble und güfftige Kranckhoiten, und Pest" der Hinweis, dass das Mittel 1773 in Zeiten der Pest verwendet wurde. Damit ist zugleich ein Terminus post quem für die Entstehungszeit zumindest dieses Teils des Manuskriptes gegeben. Nach einigen weißen Blättern (SS. 148-183) folgen ca. 130 Koch- und Backrezepte für verschiedene Knödel, "Kräpffl", "Nudl", "Dorten", "Strauben", "Klezenzelten", "Pomeranzen Sulz" oder "Korn Bluemen Saafft" sowie im letzten Teil, von breiterer Hand, mehrere Fischrezepte, meist zu Karpfen und Hecht, sowie einige Teig- und Mehlspeiszubereitungen, ebenfalls in ordentlichen Kurrentschriften von zwei verschiedenen Händen aufgeschrieben. Die mundartlichen Eigenheiten verweisen auf eine Herkunft aus Tirol. - Der Einband etwas fleckig, angestaubt und beschabt. Am Ende und im unbeschriebenen Teil einige Bll. entfernt, daher fehlen die paginierten SS. 159-162, etwas fleckig. Mit Exlibris des Kufsteiner Volksschullehrers Carl Wagner.

[Astrology - Chiromancy].MareMagnum

Illustrated Russian manuscript. Probably Russian Empire, 18th century.

Small 8vo (105 x 159 mm). Illustrated astrological manuscript. Red and black ink in Cyrillic script on paper. 297 ff., written on rectos and versos, with 14 hand-cut and illustrated volvelles with between 1 and 4 moveable parts, 160 chiromantic diagrams, and numerous astrological charts. Engraved folding table of the Cyrillic alphabet inserted in front ("These are the print letters / These are the letters used in writting [sic]", taken from The Russian Catechism [London, Meadows, 1725]). Modern green morocco stamped in blind. Housed in custom green cloth chemise and slipcase. Edges sprinkled red. A fully handwritten 18th century prognostication manual containing astrological tables and zodiacal charts, Sator squares and other magical tables, as well as ample matter on palmistry. Throughout the volume there are 14 working handcut volvelles with as many as four moveable discs, some with carefully cut windows. An appendix at the end contains an extensive topical manuscript. - Popular divination remained a fixture of Russian folk beliefs long into the 19th century, and the Sator Square was commonly used by the schismatic Russian Orthodox Old Believer communities since the 17th century. From the late 18th century onwards, printed sources discuss the magical folk rituals of Old Russia: as early as 1782, the Russian civil servant Mikhail Dmitrievich Chulkov published his "Slovar' ruskikh sueverii" ("A Dictionary of Russian Superstitions"), which was reprinted four years later as "Abevega russkikh sueverii" ("The ABC of Russian Superstitions", Moscow, 1786) - undoubtedly drawing on some of the same principles that inform the present manual. Another four years later, Semen Komisarov published a fortune-telling compendium ("Drevnii i novyi vsegdashnii gadatel'nyi orakul", Moscow, 1800) containing sections on dream divination, magic tricks, palmistry and physiognomy. While widely known and practiced by simple country folk and gentry alike, such arcane practices (culturally associated not exclusively, but especially with women) were frowned upon by the philosophers and administrators of 18th century Enlightenment: indeed, "under Catherine the Great dream interpretation was made a criminal offence, together with various kinds of magical practices and witchcraft" (Ryan/Wigzell, p. 666). The survival of so copious and wide-ranging a manual clearly designed by and for a practitioner rather than a theorist is highly uncommon. - Some duststaining and fingerstaining from extensive use. Moveable volvelle discs appear to be lacking from two additional circular diagrams. Handsomely rebound in the 20th century. - Provenance: front matter has ink stamp (ca. 1800) by R. D. Combe, a Westminster gentleman whose library was dispersed in 1821 by Saunders of St James's Street. Latterly in the library of the noted Russian-American photographer and biologist Roman Vishniac (1897-1990). Cf. W. F. Ryan & Faith Wigzell, "Gullible Girls and Dreadful Dreams. Zhukovskii, Pushkin and Popular Divination", The Slavonic and East European Review 70 (1992), pp. 647-669.

[Austrian legal manuscript - Walther, Bernhard, jurist (1516-1584)].MareMagnum

Private-Law Treatises [and other works, including (incipit): Der Fünff N.O. Lannde und Fürstlichen Graffschafft Görz Vergleichung Anno 1542]. Probably Austria, later 17th century.

Folio (210 x 310 mm). German manuscript on paper. 698 written pages on 396 unnumbered ff. Contemporary calf; spine gilt. Collection of almost entirely German (Austrian) 16th century legal texts, but also comprising a few 15th century sources (and one in Latin), thus assembled in the late 17th century. The tax legislation for all five Lower Austrian countries and Gorizia from 1542 (copied from the printed book) is followed by the extensive Treatises of Bernhard Walther (the "father of Austrian law" who in the mid-16th century collected the Lower Austrian customary law). The present, very complete manuscript comprises 14 of the 15 treatises (all except that on bankruptcy), and it was used by Max Rintelen for his critical edition, published in 1937 (cf. reference below). The treatises are followed by decisions concerning the law of inheritance ("Von Erbschafften drey Fragen, dem Herrn Landtmarschalkh ... alhier anzuzaigen"; "Ob deß abgestorbnen Wittib, oder Glaubiger den Vorgang haben: Der Regierung Rathschlag" etc.), "Bericht wegen der Caution im Landtsrechten in Österreich Under der Enß", "General wegen der Verstorbenen Pfarrer in Steyer Verlassenschafft", "Tractatus de testibus, ex secundo tomo actionum forensium D. Joan. Oldendorffii"; "Königlicher Bevelch daß ain jede Sach vor dem ordentlichen Gericht erster Instanz clagt soll werden (4 March 1534); "Khay. May. Declaration und Spruch zwischen der Löblichen Universitet zu Wienn, und gemainer Statt daßelbst" (1571), "Gemaine Beschwerung der Erblande" (with detailed regulations on mining and minting, manslaughter, gypsies, Jews, etc.), confirmations of decrees issued by Frederick III in 1444, 1462 and 1470, etc. - Some waterstaining near end; occasional slight staining. Spine-ends professionally repaired. Provenance: Handwritten ownership of Baron Anton von Egger (d. 1727): "Ex lib. Ant. L. B. de Egker". Later in the collection of the Austrian legal historian and numismatist Arnold Luschin von Ebengreuth (1841-1932) with his etched bookplate to the front pastedown. After Luschin's death his heirs presented the volume to his student, the legal historian Max Rintelen (1880-1965); cf. his entry in blue ink: "Von Luschins Erben erhalten. Max Rintelen". M. Rintelen, Bernhard Walthers privatrechtliche Traktate (Leipzig 1937), Ms. LE (p. XVIII).
