185911196London: Gray's Inn. London Gray's Inn 1859-1860. Manuscript. Hardback. A fantastic manuscript comprising 17 original unpublished short stories and poems with elements of fantasy and the supernatural. Appears to be the sole surviving artefact of the Gurgoyle Club a group of Victorian barristers meeting at chambers in the Inns of Court. All seventeen contributions twelve stories three poems and two songs apparently unpublished. All but a couple of the contributors were distinguished men four feature in the Oxford DNB with the Cambridge friends Ralston and Munby in particular noted for their literary achievements. The ten contributors are: Richard Butt; Victor Chevalley de Rivaz 1833-1895 writer of cookery books two stories; Charles Wycliffe Goodwin 1817-1878 Egyptologist; William Henfrey two stories; Sir James Charles Mathew 1830-1908 judge; Arthur Joseph Munby 1828-1910 civil servant poet and diarist poem and song; Charles Spencer Perceval 1829-1889 F.S.A. Secretary to the Commissioners of Lunacy; William Ralston 1829-1889 writer and translator reported to have become insane 'from too close a study of the mysterious Whitechapel murders' story poem and song; John Lewis Roget 1828-1908 son of the compiler of the 'Thesaurus' two stories; Charles Mahon Tyndall d.1881 barrister two stories. Most of the contributors were born in the late 1820s or early 1830s and several were educated at Cambridge. The collection is entertaining and flashes of humour abound but horror and fantasy predominate. For example the poem 'Ye Pot of Porter' Ralston finds himself standing beside "the grave of one I loved: .The coffin bursts & from its reeking dark Rolls out a hideous mass of writhing flesh - She haunts me with her eyes: their glaring orbs Flash in the cornice dance around the walls And mock me through the trellice of the grate."And in Goodwin's 'Chalybaeus' the narrator writes of a baby: "The poor thing screamed & struggled as I took it up but I only hugged it the tighter and when I placed it in the arms of its mother it had ceased to scream; to my horror I found that it was a mere charred and roasted mass. In the heat of the moment I had not perceived that my arms had become redhot & the child had perished in my too ardent embrace." And in 'The Devil' Mathews writes: ".the demon sprang towards me & burst into a roar of fiendish laughter. He stood before me for an instant with his knees slightly bent & a hand resting on each: while his eyes transfixed me. An awful change rapidly came over him; his garments shrunk off him like burned skin off an eel; a hideous green cuticle covered with scales glistened upon him; a lurid flame burst out of a saucepan on his head; wings grew from his arms down his sides and to my unspeakable anguish he commenced tumbling in all directions round me. I lost all consciousness. Presently a horrible noise filled the chamber; I heard a voice like thunder consigning me to damnation. I felt that if I did not make a final effort & call the police I should be lost." 4to volume leaf dimensions 25 x 19.5 cm: 338 unnumbered pages.

The work is illustrated with a portrait of the author and 128 engravings of which 17 plates engraved by Nicolò Nelli et Gaspare Oselli in addition to a double page engraving by Domenico Zenoi, representing the battle of Mühlberg. Each of the three parts contents an engraved title page representing a sophisticated structure, the first bearing the coat of arms of Philip II of Spain. Later binding in full parchment, gilt title in a triple gilt frame, a little label from the library pasted on the top left-hand side of the first board, sprinkled edges. The leaf HH2 was mistakenly numbered HH3. Scattered foxing. The book is a foundation in the research of heraldry, Le Imprese Illustri represents an exceptional encounter between an uncommon field of study impresa (heraldic badge) and the amour, lifted by a boom of printing techniques, of illustrated books. Divided in several books, the work opens with a theoretical approach for the study of impresa with the aim of demarcating this form of heraldry, very close to emblem, which is characterized by the combination of figure (the body) and motto (the soul). Ruscelli here refines his work in Le Discours, which he had written in 1556, upon the new edition of the first work which traits exclusively the impresa, la Ragionamento di Mons. Paolo Giovio sopra I motti e I disegni d'arme e amore che comunemente chiamiamo Impresse Guide by the intrinsic visual dimension of the subject of study, the author nevertheless distinguishes himself from his predecessor by an abundance of illustrations, notably of plates engravings. They are exceptional for their quality, which support the analytic approach of his study. The central double page, featuring the battle of Mühlberg, is a work by Domenico Zenoni, then one of the most active engravers in Venice, who was particularly known for his representation of contemporary events. Through the impresa of the princes, of whom a majority were still alive at the time of the composition of the work, Ruscelli's book, draws up a real political map of Europe in the middle of 16th century. Moreover, the representations of the two most powerful royal families of the time, the Habsburg and the Valois, the remarkable presence of the impresa of the ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, reflects the influence of the princes and the capacity of the impresa to overcome borders. The first author to highlight this connection, Ruscelli gives an important place to feminine imprese, revealing the influence women leaders acquired in the second half of the 16th century like Catherine de' Medici. An art situated between literature and pictorial work, l'impresa is, according to Ruscelli, a know how in which women excel, shown by their status and their engagement in the literary activities of the period "si vede che tuttavia le Donne vengono facendo cosi gloriasa concorrenza a gli uomini che per quasi commune consentimento di loro stessi, esse se ne trovino di gran lunga superiori." Each impresa being the mirror of its prince, they become the demonstration of the inseparable link between the social rank and the intellectual culture during the Renaissance. They highlight the qualities and the noble values which the prince wishes to show to the world, the present becoming the future. In the same way, Ruscelli places his volume in posterity, with dedicated epistle, so that he lives "eternally in the eyes, the ears, on the lips, in the soul and the memoirs of all the men and women of high spirit and true nobles, whether they be wise or ignorant, but above all the prince

- Ex officina Hieronymi Verdussen, Antverpiae (Anvers) 1607, in-4 (18x23cm), 213pp. (1), relié. - Q. Horati Flacci Emblemata. Imaginibus in aes incisis, notisque illustrata Ex officina Hieronymi Verdussen, Antverpiae (Antwerp) 1607, in-4 (18 x 23 cm), 213 pp. (1), contemporary vellum The sought-after first edition, the only edition entirely in Latin - unlike the later editions - and illustrated with 103 full-page emblems copper engraved by C. Boël and Gisbert van Veen. Portrait of Horace in a medallion to title. Leaf 48 mis-numbered 84. Several ex-dono to half-title and title. A few images of nudity have been discretely erased. Contemporary vellum, ink title erased on spine, a small blue spot to upper cover. A little cockled. Several faint dampstains. Discreet marginal repairs to pages 107, 179 and 183. Otto van Veen's (1550-1629) first published work. Van Veen was a Mannerist painter, Flemish art theorist and Rubens' teacher. The work is made up of two series of plates intended to elucidate the moral meaning of theatrical symbols. Each plate has a maxim in capital letters, followed by a short poetical extract as well as an explanation in the guise of an extract from Horace or other Roman writers. An important work, in which images for the first time take precedence over the text, this emblem book shows Venius' talent for bringing together the Flemish pictorial tradition with Italian Mannerism. "Is it not he, among the unfairly forgotten masters of this age, who manages best to marry the individual note of Flemish realism with the ideal flower of Italian grace?" (Charles Blanc, Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles: Ecole ombryenne-romaine, Volume 13, 1864). In an equally innovative move, the painter preferred worldly subjects to the detriment of traditional religious images. A rare edition of one of the most famous emblem books of the 17th century. [FRENCH VERSION FOLLOWS] Édition originale recherchée, la seule entièrement en latin - contrairement aux éditions suivantes -, illustrée de 103 emblèmes à pleine page gravés sur cuivre par C. Boël et Gisbert van Veen. Portrait d'Horace en médaillon sur la page de titre. Le feuillet 48 est mal chiffré 84. Plusieurs ex-dono sur les pages de faux-titres et de titre. Quelques nudités ont été très discrètement biffées. Reliure de l'époque en plein parchemin, titre à la plume effacé sur le dos, une petite perle bleue sur le premier plat. Plusieurs pâles mouillures. Première publication d'Otto van Veen (1550-1629) - peintre maniériste, théoricien d'art flamand et maître du célèbre Rubens - l'ouvrage se compose d'une série de tableaux ayant pour vocation d'élucider la signification morale des emblèmes mis en scène. En regard de chaque planche se trouve une maxime en majuscules suivie d'un court extrait poétique ainsi qu'une explication sous la forme d'une citation extraite d'Horace ou d'autres auteurs latins. Important ouvrage dans lequel l'image prime pour la toute première fois sur le texte, ce livre d'emblèmes révèle le talent de Venius qui allie à la tradition picturale flamande le maniérisme italien : « N'est-il point, parmi les maîtres trop oubliés de cette époque, celui qui parvint le mieux à associer à l'accent individuel de la vérité flamande la fleur idéale de la grâce italienne?? » (Charles Blanc, Histoire des peintres de toutes les écoles : Ecole ombryenne-romaine, Volume 13, 1864). Dans cette même démarche toute novatrice, le peintre choisit en outre de présenter des sujets profanes au détriment des représentations religieuses traditionnelles. Rare édition de l'un des livres d'emblèmes les plus célèbres du XVIIème siècle.
