16795420Burgos 1679. No Binding. Very Good. Folio 28.5 x 19 cm. 1 f. title page 14 ff. with engraving on title page. Disbound. Very minor handsoiling a few leaves trimmed close at upper margin resulting in partial loss of printed folio numbers manuscript foliation contemporary annotations to final page. Generally very good. Very rare Spanish legal document concerning tithes certified between the Archbishop of Granada Alonso Bernardo de los Rios y Guzman served 1677-92 and the Prior of the Carthusian monastery of Granada. While the text offers a fascinating and surprisingly detailed account of this ecclesiastical suit and is especially rich in prosopographical material the work is primarily of importance for its early copperplate engraving of the Virgin of Atocha depicted as the miraculous patroness of Madrid. The revered statue a wooden carving now thought to date from the thirteenth century is here depicted clothed in its golden baroque regalia and crowned with radiating halos for centuries the Virgin accrued the rich votive offerings of royal visitors. Housed in the Basilica de Neustra Señora de Atocha in Madrid the Virgin was long especially favored by the kings and queens of Spain and her presence on the title of this legal document functions as a manner of royal certification the text ends with the printed approval of Carlos II here simply "YO EL REY".

1690739Paris: Paris Chez Antoine Dezallier 1690 1690. First Edition. 12mo. First edition. xxv26151pp.Bound in contemporary calf. 405J <br /> <br /> <br /> Baillet was from 1680 to his death librarian to M. de Lamoignon advocat-general to the parlement of Paris of whose library he produced a manuscript catalogue raisonné in 35 folio volumes. It seems ironic that one should need to cosult Barbier to discover the author of this pioneering work but the effort is rewarding for here we read that - Cet ouvrage était le premier publié en France sur ce genre de recherches bibliographiques. The subject is approached from various angles the psychology of pseudonymity the various types of cognomes etc. This was a preliminary treatise which should have been followed by a Recueil des Auteurs Déguisés but unfortunately the author died in 1706 leaving his work unfinished and it was not for another 100 years with the publication of Barbier's Dictionnaire des Ouvrages Anonymes in 1806 that the project was finally completed. In his preface Barbier pays eloquent tribute to the erudition of his predecessor. "In 1690 Adrien Baillet 1649 - 1706 published his Auteurs deguisez. A list of nearly 1700 identifications of pseudonyms accompanied this extensive and very interesting discussion. Unconsciously Baillet adopted in this list a new procedure that has had many imitators. Aprosio's Visiera alzata and Baillet's Auteurs deguisez are the first great contributions to the study of cryptonyms by librarians." Taylor & Mosher The Bibliographical History of Anonyma and Pseudonyma pp. 115-116. Baillet was librarian to M. de Lamoignon avocat général of the Parlement de Paris. Baillet's bibliographical activities left him no time to change his clothes or to eat more than one meal a day. "Des auteurs déguisés" 1690; "Des enfants célèbres" 1688. With the exception of the last which still attracts by its curiousness these books are now almost forgotten both because they are incomplete and because they have been more than replaced by the works of such writers as Brunet Querard Barbier etc. Baillet's criticisms were not accepted by all.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> CG VI 562; Barbier.

1650V75854London: Henry Seile 1650. Hardcover. Fair. Octavo 142x87mm leather rebacked/worn to edges/scuffed. Titlepage framed with printer's ornaments verso with errata within printer's ornaments 4p= Preface 2p= Contents 205pp. With a few ornamental headers and decorative initial capitals.

The author wrote this in response to the perceived slander of Anthony Weldon's "The Court and Character of King James" as Weldon fell out with the King. In contrast to the Weldon work this espouses the cause of the King. Sanderson was a historical writer and thus starts with Queen Elizabeth of which he writes "Some say she had many favorites but in truth she had none". Before moving onto her courtiers from the Cecils to the Earl of Essex recounting the laters execution in 1601. Sanderson moved on to to King James and Sir Walter Raleigh and his expeditions to Irelandhis travels to Guiana and the New World but finally his downfall and execution. Later characters assesed include the Archbishop George Abbot and the Duke of Buckingham. Sanderson beings his work by bemoning those who would "delight in sinne" and "take great pains to slander the dead" refering to Weldon. An amusing if digressive history of the times like Seldon he devotes significant time to court intrigue during the reign of James rebuking Weldon`s assertion that James "hated" Robert Cecil he also claims the Duke of Overbury was poisoned whilst imprisoned in the tower of London in 1613. He finishes the book with a defence of the character of James who he says "his best peace was his inside which wise men admired" he credits James`s Rex Pacificus policy and writes "what did he not do without the pike if not with his pen". Sanderson concludes that a pahmlet is far to "petit" to convey the great character of this monarch. Sanderson does not engage Weldon in his assaults on the Stuart house as a whole but rather offers retorts to Weldon`s assaults on James`s reign specifically. Sanderson was a Cavalier and following the restoration was made a member of the Privy Chamber by Charles II. He died in 1676 and is buried in Westminster Abbey. Henry Seile hardcover
