Provenance: Horace de Landau 1824-1904 bookplate shelfmark no 47854; Vicomte de Cossette armorial bookplate. A rococo binding on a luxuriously printed and illustrated Office of the Virgin from the Salvioni press official printers to the Vatican. The Salvioni press used several workshops sometimes collectively mislabeled as the "Vatican" or "Salvioni" bindery. Those bound for the papal library were finely executed and different binderies can be identified by their tools color of leather and stylistic details. The present pretty but crowded binding decor with its in places overlapping tooling does not seem to belong to the corpus of binderies represented in for example the Vatican Library's 1977 exhibit catalogue of papal bindings. Stylistically it uses types of tools and decoration - the wide "Louis XV" style border and the basketweave cornerpieces - in vogue during the reigns of Clement XIV 1769-1774 and Pius VI 1775-1799. Its decoration is similar for example to binding no. 262 in Legature papali but it is of inferior workmanship and does not use the same tools. It was probably produced in a Roman shop executing many commissions and forced to work quickly although it could even be a provincial binding. Cf.

Although often referred to as the “Salvioni bindery†this appellation is circumstantial: â€the Salvioni firm was responsible for promoting the bindings but it is not known which workshop produced them†British Library Database of Bookbindings. Some of these “Vatican†bindings incorporated variously colored or mottled leather. This example with its basketweave cartouches relies purely on tooling for its effect. An example evidently from the same workshop on a book printed at Rome in 1791 by Salomini using analogous cartouches as corner-pieces as well as a similar “spiraling†border design and some of the same leafy spray and star tools is reproduced in Legature papali no. 264.<br /> <br /> “Whereas the . more flamboyant bindings produced by the Salvioni Bindery rely frequently on polychrome enamel heightening these Vatican bindings strike a somewhat more sober note with their very fine dark-red morocco and rich gold-tooling of high quality†Martin Breslauer Catalogue 107/428.<br /> <br /> Gumuchian Catalogue de Reliures du XVe au XIXe siecle no. 225 plate 68.

Manuscripts of the Real Academia de la Historia de Mardrid y del Archivo de Indias en Sevilla. Year 1580-1582. First Edition.<br /><br />Modern scholarship continues to be deeply indebted to the labors of Francisco del Paso y Troncoso less for any extended completed studies or synthesis than for a lifetime of collecting historical materials of the greatest importance to continuing investigation. His activities in Europe during the 23 years he spent searching out copying and preparing for publication a vast store of prime documentary materials for the pre-Conquest and colonial history of Mexico have been abundantly documented. Paso y Troncoso saw his prime mission as twofold. First he proposed to gather and publish as complete a corpus of Sahagun documents as possible. His interest in the great Franciscan had stemmed from the days when Paso y Troncoso as a young man had helped Joaquin Garcia Icazbalceta prepare the latter's Bibliografia mexicana del siglo XVI. Second he expected to copy documentary source materials related to colonial Mexico an elaborate group of varied papers which he generically called "Papeles de Nueva Espana." In a letter from Madrid Paso y Troncoso outlined to the Secretary of Public Instruction his views and plans for the "Papeles de Nueva Espana". He mentioned that for various reasons the material had he had compiled for publication under that general title should be divided into series each according to the class of data it contained. Each series would begin with a volume 1 and subsequent volumes would include similar documents rather than being only a single series with diverse materials. Various circumstances frustrated Paso y Troncoso's dream of putting numerous volumes of several series each of the PNE into print. He published four relatively complete volumes and two partial volumes of Series 2. "Geography and Statistics." Complete were volumes 1 4 5 6 and partially complete were volumes 3 and 7. At Paso y Troncoso's death various works were in the printing houses of Spain. Most of these volumes seem to have been lost or dispersed.

2007008606Five Continents Editions 2007. Hardcover. Good/Good. Text in English. DJ has creasing to edges with one small tear/bump on one corner mild scuffing overall. Book has a 5 CM tear in exterior gutter of front board at tail of spine not affecting solid binding and fine interior. The first to be published in over thirty years this long-awaited catalogue raisonné covers the work of Frans Post Haarlem 1612-Haarlem 1680 the first artist from the Old World to paint the landscape of the Americas on the basis of first-hand experience. Engaged by Prince Johan Maurits van Nassau as part of the Dutch West India Company's colonizing efforts in the Northeast of Brazil the young artist remained in the province of Pernambuco from 1637 to 1644. He arrived here at the age of 24 and painted the seven canvases of extraordinary quality that were the subject of a recent exhibition at the Musée du Louvre in Paris 2005. These detailed and accurate records of what the young artist saw are the first landscapes of the New World painted in situ by a trained European artist as well as outstandingly original landscape paintings. After his return to Holland Post chose the Brazilian landscape as the exclusive theme of his work for more than 30 years and over the past decades the other 148 known paintings that survive from his Dutch production have also been receiving the growing attention of collectors scholars and museums worldwide. This book presents all of the 155 autograph paintings confirmed to date along with 57 drawings and 35 prints. To complete their task the authors were joined by four renowned international experts to establish the corpus of authentic works and their chronology. The portrait of Frans Post on the back cover is by his contemporary Frans Hals. <br/> <br/> Five Continents Editions hardcover
