Combined the work contains approximately nine hundred fifty recipes for various botanical and medico-pharmaceutical remedies and medicines including preparations against rheumatism arthritis itching birth pains etc. The first part - which appears to be unpublished - occupies the initial 158 pages of the work and contains approximately five hundred fifty recipes in a rough alphabetical order. About the compiler of this first part Henri-Hubert Van der AA we have located little. The second part of the text 159 ff. is labeled "C.F.

The formulae - approximately four hundred recipes - in the Dispensatorium Universale offered in alphabetical order are more detailed than the first part as they give both recipe and the circumstances in which the remedy can be used. Reuss was a Danish-born German botanist and professor of medicine at the University of Tübingen 1745-1813 and author of a number of important botanical and medico-pharmaceutical works.

1779983821Lucian cianucian Greek Lucianos Latin Lucianus born AD 120 Samosata Commagene Syria now Samsat Tur.—died after 180 Athens Greece<br /><br />Danza Dialogo di Luiano con Annotazioni con annotazioni. <br /><br />In Firenze : nella stamperia di Gaspero Pecchioni 1779. Original edition. 8vo. Old wrappers iv 44 p. Some stains to titlepage. Very good copy. In this dialogue the Cynic Crato who has no in pantomimic dancing or those who go to see it is converted to its appreciation by his friend Lycinus.<br />This is a translation into Italian with notes of Lucian's famous dialogue on pantomime or "tragic dancing" in ancient Greece. In "tragic" dancing a dramatic plot is enacted by a masked and costumed dancer supported by an actor. The dancer's lines are spoken for him by someone else. There is also a chorus and for accompaniment the flute and the syrinx with various instruments of percussion. The work is dedicated to Antonio Muzarelli who was ballet master at the Burgtheater in Vienna at a time when ballet was detested by Emperor Joseph II although the art form was gaining some popularity due to the reforms of Jean-Georges Noverre 29 April 1727 – 19 October 1810 the a French dancer and balletmaster generally considered the creator of ballet d'action. The dialogue was probably written in Antioch in 162–165 a.d. when the Emperor Verus was there in compliment to him because of his interest in pantomime at a time when visual art was held inferior to literary art. This work underscores the legitimacy of dance because Lucian recognizes the intellectual character of dance. He emphasizes that a dancer must be able to express his or her ideas and sentiments through the intelligibility of movement and posture. Lucian's dialogue on dancing remains popular today due to its clever dialogue and clarity of argument. Rare: two OCLC locations one in North America: NYP Pecchioni books

1611WRCAM40080Spain 1611. 12pp. leaves numbered 1-6. In Spanish. Folio. Dbd. Early folds mild foxing. Very good. An early and evidently unrecorded 17th- century Spanish petition to the King on behalf of mendicant and monastic communities in the Spanish Americas. The authors argue that the churches attempting to tax their incomes and force them to pay tithes are hurting religious efforts in the Americas and infringing upon the historical independence of the religious orders from the churches. The document is signed in print by eleven monks each representing a different order: the Benedictines Hieronymites Franciscans Cistercians Mercedarians Dominicans Augustinians Trinitarians Jesuits Premonstratensians and Carmelites. The Jesuit signer is Pedro de Caruajal presumably Pedro de Carbajal former magistrate and judge of the Vilcas Huamán province of Peru and author of DESCRIPCION FECHA DE LA PROVINCIA DE VILCAS GUAMAN.EN EL AÑO 1586. unknown books

1838List601Most Latin America 1838. Mostly Latin America 1809 - 1838. Over 150 pieces comprising over 280 pages .5 linear feet. The Massachusetts merchant Captain Eliphalet Smith Jr. 1780-1838 was a merchant trading primarily in Latin America during the Revolutionary Period. Described by the Chilean historian Diego Barros Arana as "an unscrupulous adventurer who saw in the countries struggling for independence nothing more than a field for his speculations" Smith bore witness to many seminal events in the continent's political history. These letters offer first-hand accounts of such events as the Sieges of Cadiz and Montevideo Admiral William Brown's victories in the Argentinian Independence War the Peruvian silver trade Simon Bolivar's arrival in Guayaquil and the battles of Real Felipe Fortress. <br /> <br /> Smith's business correspondence from the period sheds light on the pro-Regency networks active in the Americas during the period as his loyalties - like most merchants - were based on the Spanish Armada's control of trade. The tensions between Smith and the nascent Chilean government came to a head when goods from Smith's ship the Brig Macedonian were seized by Lord Cochrane Vice Admiral of the Chilean Squadron in two separate incidents in 1818 and 1821. The ensuing legal disputes would cast a long shadow over relations between the United States and Chile until the cases were resolved by international tribunal. The collection includes several original documents relating to the episodes including Smith's recollections of the events and several letters to investors describing the confiscated goods. <br /> <br /> Smith's efforts and their tacit support by the U.S. government make him a key figure in early relations between the United States and the new Latin American regimes. In 1822 an agent of the United States State Department acknowledged that "the Brigs Canton and Macedonian were for more than three years constantly violating blockades neutral and belligerent rights and supplying the royalists and flew the Spanish flag." Likewise historian Patricia Marks writes that Smith had business connections with Spanish merchants in Peru and refers to a quote from Viceroy to Peru JoaquÃn de la Pezuela: "Smith and the Macedonian became anathemas to the patriots. San MartÃn is reputed to have said that he did more damage to the cause of liberty than any other man." Historian Joseph Byrne Lockey points out that Smith's actions had greater implications regarding the perception of the United States in revolutionary-era Latin America: "The conduct of Captain Smith supported in so far as it was legal by the government at Washington contributed together with other incidents of a similar sort not a little to the dimming of the earlier impression of the Patriots that the United States would be in the struggle their friend and ally." <br /> <br /> The collection here consists of 153 documents from Smith's estate including letters received by Smith mercantile inventories and holograph copies of letters sent by Smith during the period. Correspondents include Smith's contacts in Latin America and his creditors in the United States. As a collection the documents relay scarce firsthand accounts of several seminal political events and map an extensive network of mercantile contacts and inventories. They are worthy of further research by scholars of the political history of Latin America and Spain and of early United States / Latin American relations as well as scholars of trade between China and Latin America. <br /> <br /> Overall the collection presents an uncommon opportunity to acquire primary source material from Latin America's Revolutionary Period. We find records from the Macedonian and Smith in the Forbes family collection at Harvard as well as some later documents relating to Smith's claims at the University of Virginia Special Collections. We find no publicly held examples of Smith's personal correspondence or papers prior to 1820. A full write-up and inventory is available in our PDF catalog. unknown books
