The Most Excellent Hugo Grotius: His Three Books Treating of the Rights of War & Peace. In the First is Handled Whether any War be Just. In the Second is Shewed The Causes of War both Just and Unjust. In the Third is declared What in War is Lawful that is Unpunishable.

1682138282London: Printed by M.W. for Thomas Basset at the George in Fleetstreet and Ralph Smith at the Bible under the Piazza of the Royal Exchange in Cornhill 1682. Third edition in English of Higo Grotius' foundational work on international law. Folio bound in full contemporary paneled calf with a burgundy morooco spine label lettered in gilt title page printed in red and black added engraved title by T. Cross Senior bound opposite the printed title page. Translated into English by William Evats. In good condition. Armorial bookplate and period ownership signature. A pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine Hugo Grotius was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. In this momentous work Grotius describes situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines principles for the use of force. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advances the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he points to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. Barksdale's translation the first in English includes an original biographical sketch of Grotius. This edition "is perceived to be part of a larger movement in England aimed partly at setting out an ideological alternative to reformation proposals under discussion and to clarifying the relations between civil and ecclesiastical authority in England" Butler xii. Printed by M.W. for Thomas Basset at the George in Fleetstreet, and Ralph Smith at the Bible under the Piazza of the Royal Excha unknown

Nine sammelband pamphlets bound in blind stamped decorative calf overlay recased with brown cloth boards; apparent shelf wear and toning to leaves each pamphlet constitutes approximately 16 pp. 8 vo. Scarce copies of all in disbound condition so this bound aggregate is a rare and singular entity. A collection of poetry tracts in the 18th century assembled and bound as a set showcasing typical and popular poetry writing and style in England. This was a common practice to gather political satire and literary tracts and bind them together generally at the discretion of the owner or in some cases the printer and/or bookseller. The majority of these works are poetry written as political satire towards the Tory government. This method of binding separate works 'sammelband' also speaks to contemporary collecting and publishing practices. The bound volume lists separate works as follows: attrib. Ward Edward.

STC 11448; ESTC S112728. ◆Vellum somewhat soiled small chip to head of rear cover a little soiling to title page isolated faint foxing or small rust spots but an unusually clean and fresh copy internally in a serviceable binding with antique appeal. This is an infrequently seen polemical treatise from the English Reformation addressing theological arguments over Purgatory and transubstantiation one of 21 such works Fulke 1528-89 produced to refute Roman Catholic attacks on the doctrines of the Church of England. According to DNB "Fulke conceived the project of answering all works of controversy written in English by papists since 1558 and of doing so by the technique of exhaustive rebuttal answering every point large and small made in the writings of his opponents. . . . Fulke was well equipped for this role by his vast erudition especially in patristic literature and his command of biblical and classical languages as well as his painstaking concern for accurate detail and the rules of logical argument." During the last decade of Fulke's life "no year passed without the appearance of one or more books by him in defence of Protestantism and in confutation of the church of Rome. His language was unmeasured and even in that age he was conspicuous for the virulence of his invective against his opponents. His learning was however extensive and sound and he was an able master of controversy." Our copy resided in the Grosvenor family library at Eaton Hall for more than 200 years and later passed into the Fox Pointe Collection of Howard Knohl who in the 1980s began collecting English language first editions from before 1700 amassing a library of more than 4000 titles one of the largest privately owned collections in this subject area. This is a rare book: ABPC and RBH find no other copies at auction since 1975; ESTC and OCLC locate just two copies in North American libraries. Printed by H. Middleton for George Bishop unknown

Subtly titled in blind across one of the onlays at the spine. Paper doublures with dyed calf hinges. Botehlo writes of this book being "filled with etchings of heavy lined and voluptuous shapes with textures and shade all done in black. The poetry evoked for me the verdancy of rogue plants that spring up between the cracks of concrete. It spoke of the appeal of being a snake allusions to original sin. I wanted the green onlays that have been dyed and embossed to be pillowed the stone inviting touch. I intended to create something that invites a sensory exploration." And here she has succeeded with astonishing grace creating a design that draws and keeps the attention. Wonderfully conceived and executed with exceptional skill. Botelho is among a select group of extraordinary design binders who are graduates from the American Academy of Bookbinding Fine Binding program. Editions Wequetequock Cove unknown

See Peter Thorold "The British in France: Visitors and Residents since the Revolution" p. 64. A very small ink spot just intruding on very bottom edge of a handful of leaves a few vague spots of foxing to map isolated faint offsetting from illustrations but A VERY FINE COPY in all other ways--the text clean fresh and bright the plates immaculate the margins spacious the binding lustrous and sparkling. This is a lovely copy of a work with plates Prideaux considers "among the most beautiful to be found in aquatint engraving" and it comes in a handsome binding commissioned by Mildred Benson Davey and later owned by Paul Chevalier. Issued by a publisher known for his lavishly illustrated travelogues the volume takes us on a journey through the scenic French Pyrenees escorted by Englishman Joseph Hardy who adds his insights on the local population and government gives recommendations on the best mineral baths and describes in word and image the breathtaking scenery. The views are small measuring approximately 90 x 70 mm. but as Abbey notes "part of their charm is certainly in their small size." Sarah Prideaux praised their composition: "The ground is exceedingly fine and there is no line whatever. The colouring is most delicate and all the twenty-four illustrations are exquisite." We can only be impressed by the achievement of the colorist; the detail is cleanly executed the colors are luminescent and the images do not disappoint even under magnification. Thorold notes that this work was "a great success" and was later translated into French. Our copy was bound in a bold modern design at the Chicago workshop founded by in 1926 by John Cuneo 1884-1977. Cuneo hired fine British craftsmen like the Englishman Leonard Mounteney to create bibliophile-quality bindings for American collectors. After apprenticing at the bindery of G. & J. Abbott in Nottingham and studying ornamental design at the Battersea Polytechnic Mounteney worked as an exhibition finisher for Riviere before emigrating to Chicago where he initially worked with Alfred de Sauty at the R. R. Donnelley bindery before joining Cuneo's hand bindery. The present binding was a commission for Mildred Benson Davey 1890-1953 daughter of the founder of Benson & Rixon men’s clothiers. Cuneo also bound books for Chicago retail magnate Marshall Fields. Later our binding was appreciated by distinguished connoisseur Paul Chevalier whose library of beautiful volumes was uniformly characterized by outstanding workmanship and superb condition. The sale of his books in 1990 represented one of the best collections of 20th century bindings brought to auction in the past half century. Laid in is Christie's slip from Chevalier's 9 November sale where this appeared as lot 23 selling for $935. R. Ackermann unknown

[THE NIEDERMAYER-HENTIG EXPEDITION / BRITISH INDIA] Hindistan'dan Iran ve Rusya arazisine seyahat edeceklere mahsûs kilavuz notlardir. Pasaportlara ait malûmat-i umûmiye-i ihtiva eder. [i.e. A guide to travelers from India through Iranian and Russian territories, containing detailed information about passports].

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Contemporary quarter brown morocco. Red boards. Staining on the red cloth. Roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 64 p. Extremely rare first and only edition of this Turkish guide to the Turkish delegation of intelligence officers formed within the Niedermayer-Hentig Expedition, also known as the Kabul Mission to carry out counter-activities in the region against the British and Russian alliance, to return from India, through Russia, Afghanistan, and Iran, published after the expedition failed in 1916. This work both in very rare institutional holdings and market rarity is probably printed in no more than 100 copies. It was expected from the Turkish delegation, organized by Ömer Fevzi Bey, who was in charge of the Eastern Branch of the Turkish Intelligence (Teskilât-i Mahsûsa), by reaching Afghanistan through Iran and bringing "Jihad-i Akbar" to this country, to provide an important ally on the Indian border and to support the pro-independence Indian committees and an uprising against the British rule in India and the region. This book was prepared by the Ottoman Army Headquarters-General Intelligence Branch in 1916, during the First World War. In its introduction, the commission described their purpose of publishing this book, which is providing secret information to officers and other staff of the Ottoman army who will travel to Iran, Afghanistan, and Russia, telling them which roads to use, how to use their passports, where and how much food they need to take with them, etc., otherwise being a very comprehensive and detailed guide to the officers. The first chapter includes Iran and its environment, and the second chapter includes Russia and its environment. The first addendum contains detailed passport information, and the second part consists of the routes and towns requiring passports. According to the introduction, references of this book are some early British sources and reports by "Kralliik siyasi ve sehbenderhane zâbitâni, sabik müsahid atasemiliteri" H. Smith, "Harbiye Nezâreti Erkân-i Harbiye-i Ummiyesinden" A. D. Geddesi and "Istihbarat Subesinden" Captain S. M. Gibbon. Additionally, they are Foreign Ministry's 'tahrirât' documents, Intelligence Branch's 'kuyudâti', and a Russian railways guide printed in 1909. The Niedermayer-Hentig Expedition was a diplomatic mission to Afghanistan sent by the Central Powers in 1915-1916. The purpose was to encourage Afghanistan to declare full independence from the British Empire, enter World War I on the side of the Central Powers, and attack British India. The expedition was part of the Hindu-German Conspiracy, a series of Indo-German efforts to provoke a nationalist revolution in India. Nominally headed by the exiled Indian prince Raja Mahendra Pratap, the expedition was a joint operation of Germany and Turkey and was led by the German Army officers Oskar Niedermayer and Werner Otto von Hentig. Other participants included members of an Indian nationalist organization called the Berlin Committee, including Maulavi Barkatullah and Chempakaraman Pillai, while the Turks were represented by Kazim Bey, a close confidante of Enver Pasha. The mission failed in its main task of rallying Afghanistan, under Emir Habibullah Khan, to the German and Turkish war effort, but it influenced other major events. In Afghanistan, the expedition triggered reforms and drove political turmoil that culminated in the assassination of the Emir in 1919, which in turn precipitated the Third Anglo-Afghan War. It influenced the Kalmyk Project of nascent Bolshevik Russia to propagate socialist revolution in Asia, with one goal being the overthrow of the British Raj. Other consequences included the formation of the Rowlatt Committee to investigate sedition in India TBTK 13568.; Not in OCLC.

John Barrett ca. 1674-ca. 1745 was an English composer and organist pupil of John Blow. "Like many of his contemporaries such as Jeremiah Clarke John Eccles and Daniel Purcell Barrett composed mainly for the theatre and his many songs mostly of the double-barrelled art song variety are both tuneful and attractive." Christopher Powell revised by H. Diack Johnstone in Grove Music Online John Blow 1649-1708 was an English composer organist and teacher. "By his mid-20s he had become the foremost musician in England and in later years he was the elder statesman of the Restoration school whose chief luminary was Henry Purcell." Bruce Wood in Grove Music Online John Eccles ca. 1668-1735 was an English composer. "Eccles's greatest talent is revealed in his many songs. Remarkable for their beautifully contoured melodies and impeccable prosody they quickly capture the mood and subtleties of the poetry and are eminently singable. His large works are notable for their dramatic pacing and their carefully planned tonal architecture. In the latter respect he surpassed even Purcell and was far in advance of his day. Eccles brought the Restoration tradition to its close. After Purcell's death in 1695 he was undoubtedly the greatest of the Restoration theatre composers." Stoddard Lincoln in Grove Music Online John Ernest Galliard ca. 1687-1749 German composer and oboist "certainly played a significant role in London's musical life in the first half of the 18th century." Roger Fiske revised by Richard G. King in Grove Music Online George Frideric Handel 1685-1759 English composer of German birth was "one of the greatest composers of his age." Anthony Hicks in Grove Music Online Richard Leveridge 1670-1758 English bass and composer was "a leading singer on the London stage and a popular composer of songs." Olive Baldwin revised by Thelma Wilson in Grove Music Online. Giuseppe Maria Orlandini 1676-1760 was an Italian composer. "The large number and wide spread of performances of his operas confirm the opinions of Burney La Borde Martini and Quadrio that Orlandini was highly celebrated as a composer of dramatic music. He was best known for his comic intermezzos in which genre his importance almost certainly outweighs that of Pergolesi. Indeed Orlandini's Bacocco e Serpilla under various titles and with added music by various composers appears to have been the most frequently performed piece of musical drama in the entire 18th century." John Walter Hill and Francesco Giuntini in Grove Music Online Johann Christoph Pepusch 1667-1752 a German-born composer and theorist active in England is best known for his arrangement of music for The Beggar's Opera to John Gay's libretto; he composed works in all genres including vocal music. Daniel Purcell ca. 1664-1717 brother or cousin of Henry Purcell was an English composer and organist. "Although he was a victim of invidious comparison with Henry Daniel was a talented composer whose style while perhaps too ornate is never dull or incompetent." Mark Humphreys revised by Robert Thompson in Grove Music Online Henry Purcell 1659-1695 composer and organist "was one of the most important 17th century composers and one of the greatest of all English composers." Peter Holman and Robert Thompson in Grove Music Online John Weldon 1676-1736 an English organist and composer "of considerable talent" was a pupil of Henry Purcell. Margaret Laurie revised by Stephen Bullamore in Grove Music Online. unknown

Bibliotheca Heberiana. Catalogue of the Library of the Late Richard Heber, Esq... Removed from his House in York-Street, Westminster, Which Will be Sold by Auction, by Messrs. Sotheby and Son [Evans; Wheatley]...

13 Volumes bound in five, large 8vo printed on good wove paper, [iv], 388; xii, 363, [1]; [iv], 295, [1]; vii, [iii], 355, [1]; [iv], 257; [iv], 314; [iv], 306; [iv], 170; [iv], 195, [1]; [iv], 117, [1]; [iv], 189, [1]; [iv], 83, [1]; [iv], 82, [2]pp., parts 1-3 in orig. boards, spines chipped, covers loose, orig. printed label on upper covers, uncut, parts 4-7 cont. half calf, rubbed, spine stained and spotted, parts-8-13 cont. quarter morocco, rubbed, foot of spine torn, faint stamp of 'Mercantile Library, Philada.', front hinge shaken, title page to part 8 loose, prices and buyers' names supplied in a cont. hand, a made-up set of the complete English sale catalogues of the library of Richard Heber (the 13th volume is notoriously rare). Heber was a book collector on a monumental scale, De Ricci estimated his library between two and three hundred thousand volumes. The sales took place at a time when the market was absolutely glutted and there were practically no buyers. The total realised was ?65,774, for books which had cost their late owner a good deal over ?100,000. "The Dibdinian age may be aptly said to terminate with the dispersal of the gigantic library accumulated by Richard Heber, a bibliomaniac if there ever was one... From 1800 to 1830, he purchased at every London sale... He thought nothing of securing whole libraries... When he died, his books filled two houses in London, one at Hodnet, one at Oxford, one at Ghent and one at Paris, not to speak of smaller stores at... other Continental cities. The total number of volumes in his library must have been between two and three hundred thousand, and it is doubtful whether any private individual has ever owned so large a library... The London sales produced ?56,744, for books which had cost their late owner over ?100,000. The market was absolutely glutted and there were practically no new buyers... The Heber catalogues, although... arranged in the most inconvenient manner, are daily consulted by every bibliographer... His series of Continental books, early Italian and Spanish works, later Latin poetry, humanistic treatises... were unrivalled... The real strength... was, however, in the field of early English literature... For thirty years he... purchased nearly every item which came on the market".?De Ricci, p.102. Organised according to the residences where Heber kept his libraries, the present catalogues number 1 - 13 and were held in 1834, 1835, 1836 & 1837. Sotheby's managed the sale for parts 1- 3 and 9 - 10; R. H. Evans, for parts 4 and 6 - 8 and 11; B. Wheatley, parts 5 and 12-13.

1933ST15997Montgomeryshire Wales: Gregynog Press 1933. No. 37 OF 250 COPIES one of 110 in this binding accompanied by three additional plates on Japon EACH ONE OF 12 SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. 390 x 255 mm. 15 1/4 x 10". 15 leaves. Fine original dark slate blue Oasis morocco device in blind on front cover blind titling on front cover and spine. In the original paper slipcase somewhat worn and browned but sound. Wood engraved title with device and 21 wood engravings in the text five of them full-page chapter openings by Blair Hughes-Stanton and WITH THREE ORIGINAL SIGNED WOOD ENGRAVINGS ON JAPANESE VELLUM--"The Man Mourns I" 5/12 "The Man Mourns II" 4/12 and "Destruction" 5/12--attractively matted. Printed in blue and black on Japanese vellum; with an additional half-page engraving from chapter I laid in. Harrop 29; De Zilverdistel Cat. II 29; Hughes-Stanton 21. ◆A breath of fading to the spine negligible signs of wear to the binding but a fine copy with only trivial condition issues and the additional engravings pristine. This is in Harrop's words "one of the most spectacular books to come from this or any other press" our copy with the bonus of three limited edition wood engravings from the work signed by the artist. "Lamentations" was designed and illustrated by Blair Hughes-Stanton 1902-81 who studied at the school of Leon Underwood at Hammersmith and had a long and productive career producing sophisticated woodcuts as an avant-garde artist. Although he was encouraged to make his expressive sometimes even savage images look more like those of Eric Gill he resisted and successfully established his unique personal style as an illustrator. The three extra engravings here are excellent examples of his dramatic emotional technique; "The Man Mourns I and II" effectively convey overwhelming grief while "Destruction" inspires a feeling of impending doom. From 1930 through 1933 Hughes-Stanton worked for the Gregynog Press in Wales helping to design text layout providing woodcut illustrations and designing bindings. The press was founded in 1922 by two spinster sisters Gwendoline 1882-1951 and Margaret 1884-1963 Davies using a substantial inheritance from their industrialist grandfather; it produced 42 works between 1923 and 1942 eight of them in Welsh. Cave says that the books printed by the Gregynog Press "more than bear comparison with the work of any other private press" and "in the design and execution of bindings the Gregynog Press was far superior to any the Doves Press included.".

AN ENGLISH VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF, IN LATIN, FROM PETRUS RIGA'S "AURORABiblio.com

TEXT FROM COMMENTARY ON I KINGS LINES 185-248

ST18542England ca. 1375. 287 x 198 mm. 11 1/4 x 7 3/4. Single column 32 lines in a small rounded English gothic hand with rubrics in the margins. Rubrics in red running title in red paragraph marks in red or blue two initials measuring two lines in height and colored blue with red penwork. See: P. E. Beichner "Aurora Petri Rigae Biblia Versificata A Verse Commentary on the Bible." ◆Remnants of mounting tape in top margin of recto but a really excellent specimen the hand very clear the ink especially rich and the vellum extremely clean and quite bright. Written in a gothic hand heavily influenced by the English secretarial style this leaf comes from a copy of the "Aurora" a commentary on the Bible in verse form written in the late 12th century by French poet Petrus Riga 1140-1209 a canon of Rheims cathedral. Although little is known about the author's life Riga's text became immensely popular throughout Europe and was routinely studied in Medieval universities. According to Beichner "for those who could read Latin it supplied Scriptural lore in a popular form and it also served as a book of popular theology devotional reading moral instruction and entertainment. Its influence was propagated by teachers preachers and lexicographers by poets and other writers. It was studied imitated translated and quoted. Not only was it widely read in monasteries and convents but it was also recommended reading for the sons of nobles." It is interesting to note that although Riga's work was copied numerous times in the 13th century copies from the later Medieval period such as the present work are uncommonly rare. The parent manuscript containing our leaf was previously in the possession of the Dukes of Westminster and was sold at Sotheby's on 11 July 1966 lot 229 when it was advertised as having 267 leaves missing the first gathering plus 13 other leaves. Bookseller Francis Edwards acquired the manuscript at that sale removed three damaged leaves and sold the remainder. It was thereafter broken up and dispersed. Several sister leaves are now in the collections of Marquette University Lawrence University and the University of South Carolina. unknown

CANTICUM CANTICORUM. THE SONG OF SONGS

1962ST15876Frankfurt am Main: Ars Libri Verlag Gotthard de Beauclair 1962. No. 93 of 250 COPIES IN ENGLISH SIGNED by the illustrator and designer. 494 x 320 mm. 19 3/8 x 12 5/8". 40 pp. 2 leaves.Designed by Gotthard de Beauclair. FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO BY ROLAND MEUTER signed "R. Meuter Ascona" on rear turn-in upper cover with gilt lettering underlined with four gilt rules smooth spine with gilt titling leather hinges. In the original linen clamshell box backed with matching morocco. With 30 lithographs in the text by Gerhart Kraaz and one additional lithograph in a portfolio. ◆Slight discoloration from a bookmark in the lower gutter of colophon opening otherwise in perfect condition. Handsomely bound and beautifully designed and printed this very large folio first publication from the Ars Libri Press later called Ars Librorum exemplifies the kind of high quality work for which leading German publisher and book designer Gotthard de Beauclair was known. Beauclair 1907-92 began his career at Insel Verlag where he rose to art director and according to the Oxford Companion to the Book "turned inexpensive Insel books into collectors' items with excellent typography." He also founded three different publishing houses where he produced special limited editions that made full use of his excellent design and typographical skills. The present item is one such work recognized by the Association of German Book Artists as one of the most beautiful books of 1962. Gerhart Kraaz 1909-71 studied painting and worked as a graphic designer before becoming a serious book illustrator. The present title is considered his first major work in the realm of bibliophilic editions. His illustrations in charcoal are sensuous and shadowy capturing the romance and allure of the most beguiling Old Testament book. This edition in English appeared the same year as the German language edition but is much rarer--apparently the publisher cancelled a number of copies and very few ever made it to market. The binding characterized by an elegant simplicity is appropriate for the subject matter and for the stately large-format volume. Our binder Roland Meuter maintains an atelier in Ascona Switzerland where he continues to produce imaginatively designed bindings that attract considerable attention.
