Querard IV 614 - Playfair n° 220 - Chadenat n° 896 later edition first published in English in 1725.<br /><br />This work is an influential description of Algeria first published in 1725 in French and expanded here with a detailed list of 73 Dutch ships captured by Algerian pirates. Algeria was at this time nominally ruled by the Ottoman Empire but retained a great deal of independence in practice. The work begins with a description of the various inhabitants including separate chapters on the Arabic and Turkish populations followed by chapters on its architecture military navy politics slavery trade etc. It was written by the Jacques Philippe Laugier de Tassy a former diplomat in Algeria and at this date commissioner of the French navy and consul in the Netherlands. It was translated into English as A complete history of the piratical states of Barratry a title that emphasized the notorious Algerian pirates. "Barbary" was not always a unified political entity. From the 16th century on wards it was divided into the political entities of the Regency of Algiers Tunis and Tripolitania Tripoli. Major rulers during the times of the Barbary states' plundering parties included the Pasha or Dey of Algiers the Bey of Tunis and the Bey of Tripoli. Before then the territory was usually divided between Ifriqiya Morocco and a west-central Algerian state centered on Tlemcen or Tiaret. Powerful Berber dynasties such as the Almohads 12th century and briefly thereafter the Hafsids occasionally unified it for short periods. From a European perspective its "capital" or chief city was often considered to be Tripoli in modern-day Libya although Marrakesh in Morocco was the largest and most important Berber city at the time. In addition Algiers in Algeria and Tangiers in Morocco were also sometimes seen as the "capital".<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />folding plate with neat repairs contemporary calf gilt upper joint repaired but splitting again lower joint tender spine a little rubbed with slight loss to extremities else about a very nice copy.

FIRST GERMAN EDITION of this important work on anatomy partnered with the work of Philippi Verheyen Anmerckungen In Die Anatomiam Blancardi. Brieff An den weitberühmten Hrn. Friedrich Ruyschium.<br> 'Verheyen was a prolific writer including several books and manuscripts. His main work published originally in Latin the “Corporis Humani Anatomiae†was translated into multiple languages as here. This book became one of the most used anatomy books of the time.<br> The following excerpt of his book "Corporis Humani Anatomiae Liber Primus" reads : " . QuintusAuricularis quia cum minimum sit auribus expurgandis est aptissimus" translates as".the fifth finger called Auricularis because how small it is is most suitable to clean the ears". Incredibly anatomists at that time called the fifth digit "digitus auricularis".<br> Verheyen is credited with the creation of the eponym the “Achilles tendon†which denominates the common tendon for the gastrocnemius and soleus muscle although at the time he called it the “Chorda Achillisâ€. He also described the kidneys in detail especially the arterial “stars†found on the surface of the kidney which are today known as the “Stars of Verheyen†'. E. A. Miranda 2014 M.T.D.

178951612Paris: chez Dezauche 1789. Updating the work of "one of the key figures in the development of French cartography" First edition thus and uncommon with just four listings on WorldCat three of these for the BnF and no complete copy at auction for 30 years; an excellent complete and inclusive French atlas of the 18th century. Jean-Claude Dezauche 1745-1824 was one of the geographer-publishers most influential in the establishment of the French theoretical approach to cartography. This movement which downplayed the decorative elements valued by the Dutch school in favour of scientific rigour and accuracy can be traced back to the work of Guillaume Delisle - "one of the key figures in the development of French cartography" Tooley - who had studied under Jean-Dominique Cassini director of the Paris observatory. Delisle's business was inherited by his son-in-law Philippe Buache who had studied with him and who entered the Depôt des Cartes et Plans de Marine in 1721 in 1729 being appointed "premier géographe du roi" a position previously held by his father-in-law. On Buache's death his widow sold his work to Jean Nicholas Buache de la Neuville Philippe's nephew and in 1780 Dezauche bought it from him together with work by Delisle Jaillot and others. He in turn made his own alterations and improvements to the maps and then re-issued them in a revised form. For example the twin- and four-hemispheric world maps in volume I the former dated 1792 have been revised to include the latest discoveries from Cook's voyages. 2 vols folio 453 x 375 mm. Engraved allegorical title page and contents leaves to each and 151 double-page or folding maps all coloured in outline. Contemporary calf rebacked red morocco labels. Somewhat rubbed and with some restoration at the corners light dampstain in the lower margin of vol. I slightly heavier at the title page which has been reinforced with archival tissue map of Paris shaved to the ruled border at the upper margin a few minor splits and chips in the margins but overall very good. unknown
