17003136<p>A very scarce early work on the metamorphosis of insects. Goedart trained as an artist set up observed and documented a series of 'experiments' which demonstrated that insects radically change their appearance as they develop. So the egg caterpillar and butterfly can be the same animal rather than 3 different ones. This was ground-breaking. He originally wrote in Dutch with the first part of his work appearing in 1662. Two more volumes followed in 1667 and 1669. Vols I and III were translated into Latin by Joannis de Mey with the translation for Vol II completed by Paul Veezaerdt. A French translation was published in 1700 in Amsterdam and Middleburgh. This set is the Latin translation reissued in 3 volumes in 1700 which has acquired the decorative title of the Middleburgh French translation in Vol I at some point. It is particularly scarce because the plates and decorative titles are hand coloured. The set is bound in 2 volumes Vol I and Vols 2/3 bound together in recent 1972 full calf with raised bands and title labels to spines. Endpapers are marbled. Vol I: 3 new initial blanks; hand coloured engraved title in French laid down with damage and repair; Latin title in red and black inks with red scorpion design; preface 15pp; Commentary by Johannis de Mey dated 1700 11pp; half title; hand coloured portrait of Goedart; text pp 1-191; appendices pp 193-236 with 1 black and white plate; Finis; 63 colour plate pages some pages have more than one numbered plate - final plate is coloured version of the black and white plate in the appendix; one original and 3 new blanks. Vol II/III: hand coloured decorative title in Latin with paper repair to side edge; title with scorpion design - title change from 'Metamorphosis' to 'Metamorphoseos'; epistola by Veezaerdt 25pp; preface with poem 5pp; text pp 1-210; Finis; translation notes 211-259; Finis; 42 colour plate pages; hand coloured decorative title 3rd part; title with scorpion design; dedication 8pp; preface 5pp; index 1p; text 1-45; appendix 47-159; Finis; 18 colour plate pages - 17 and 18 folding - with the fold on 18 taped; 3 new final blanks. The bindings are clean and sound with little wear. The contents are generally clean with occasional light marking. The paper both text and plate varies in thickness and degree of toning with some sections very browned. The images on the plates tend to show through to the other side of the paper. The second plate in Vol I has some damage to the bottom edge not affecting the image. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.</p> Jacobum Fierensium hardcover
1663195824London: Thomas Roycroft 1663. First folio edition of Ogilby's translation of Virgil's works. Fine Binding. First Folio Edition of Ogilby's translation of Virgil's works magnificently illustrated with frontispiece portrait of Ogilby double-page map of Greece and Italy and 100 splendid full-page copper-engraved plates. With a frontispiece portrait of Virgil by Cleyn after Lombart engraved portrait of Ogilby by Faithorne after Lilly folding map opp. P. 117 and 101 full-page engravings by W. Hollar W. Faithorne and P. Lombart after designs by F. Cleyn. Folio 392 x 257 mm bound in near-contemporary French brown morocco spine gilt à la groteque marbled edges a. E. G. London: Roycroft 1663. One of the very few notable English illustrated books of the Restoration period "a great folio with plates dedicated to noble patrons by Pierre Lombart" Pollard Great Books p. 289. This elaborate English production was much admired by the French: "Belle édition exécutée en gros caractères. Elle est recommandable par le grand nombre et la qualité des gravures dont elle a été ornée. Ces gravures on été faites par le plus habiles artistes de ce tems Hollar et autres au depens de différens Seigneurs d'Angleterre." De Bure no. 2686. Thiscopy was no doubt bound in France at an early date possibly for "Claude Le Muet Lemuet Tresorier de Legle d'Auxerre" whose name is inscribed on p. 95 it was erased from the title-page. Ogilby's Latin edition of Virgil was first published in 1658; the illustrations first appeared in his second English translation of Virgil in 1654. The above work which is described by Brueggemann as a "Splendidum opus forma augusta contains the Bucolics Georgics and Aeneid. As Lowndes has shown copies of Ogilby's Latinedition of Virgil were prized by such noteworthy collectors as Towneley the Marquis of Townshend La Valliere Count MacCarthy Reagh Hibbert and the Duke of Roxburghe. The engravings were executed by Wenceslaus Hollar William Faithorne and Pierre Lombart after designs by Franz Cleyn. Cleyn 1590 Rostock- 1658 London was for some time in the employment of Christian IV King of Denmark. He worked as an artist in Rome for four years after which time he embarked to London where he served as an artist in the court of James I and until the Civil War Charles I. This is a choice copy all the more remarkable owing to the fact that seventeenth-century English books almost never survive in tolerable condition. Furthermore very few English books of the period were so grandly illustrated as here. Frontispiece mounted; inscription on lower blank portion of final leaf excised. An extremely attractive copy from the Ambrose Firmin Didot collection with leather book-label.; Folio - over 12" - 15" ta. Thomas Roycroft unknown
