THE LONDON SPY. For the Month of April 1700. Second Volume. Part VI. LONDON : 1700.

Euclid; Anonymous; [Mercator, Nicolaus, editor?];Biblio.com

Euclidis elementa geometrica novo ordine ac methodo fere demonstrata :

166612956London: Typis T.R. impensis Joh. Martyn. Good with no dust jacket. 1666. First Edition Thus. Leather. viii 136 pp. 12 folding plates. A-F12. A small 12mo measuring 3" x 5" entirely in old calf with new-ish spine. Frontis plate showing 3 ancient scholars along with a modern fellow demonstrating geometrical shapes. This is an odd and scarce little first edition a new method of demonstrating Euclid's elements with an anonymous editor some have identified as Nicolaus Mercator. OCLC 1050145768 identifies Mercator as the editor ESTC R23875 does not. Mercator the German mathematician c1620-1687 did indeed write an extensive introduction to publisher John Martyn's 1678 second edition of this work. According to Malet it is "a simplified reorganized presentation of most of his results the reorganization also involves the axioms and common notions mostly aimed at practically teaching how to solve problems." It covers Books 1-6 and 11-12. A pre-publication 1665 review of the book said "In this compendious and pretty Edition the Anonymous Author pretends to have rendred these Elements more expeditious; by bringing all together into one place what belongs to one and the same subject." English mathematician John Collins wrote ".I met with a Cambridge Scholar who suggested that the small anonymous Jesuit's Euclid printed by Mr. Martyn was now in good request among tutors and their scholars there that they wanted the like for arithmetic and algebra." Beeley BJHS 2019. We haven't been able to determine exactly why this work was known as the "Jesuit's Euclid" except that the Jesuits who taught Euclidean geometry as standard part of the curriculum may have appreciated this condensed no-nonsense version and adopted it for their classrooms. While it may have been popular in the mid-1600s it is now quite scarce with no copies currently for sale and no auction records for this first edition only 3 for the 1678 second edition and those over 50 years ago. ESTC records only 25 copies of the first edition in libraries 14 in the UK and 11 in the US. Condition is good. Original leather boards have some age but are clean and intact new spine done a while ago. Original endpapers appear to have been laid down older cloth strengthening at the gutters. The frontis has a small ink splotch on it's back the title has a ghost impression of the frontis along with at least 2 owner inscriptions one indicating that the book was in the possession of a Benedictin order at some point. The bottom of B12 has a short lack. The folding tables at the rear are out of order and table 1 is labeled table 2 but there are 12 different tables. #10 is separating at the fold. Some small normal toning throughout and signs of use but an intact copy in nice condition of this quite scarce little work. ; Engravings; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 136 pages . Typis T.R. impensis Joh.

Auteurs deguisez : Sous des noms etrangers ; empruntez supposez feints à plaisir chiffrez renversez retournez ou changez d'une langue en une autre

1690739Paris: Paris Chez Antoine Dezallier 1690 1690. First Edition. 12mo. First edition. xxv26151pp.Bound in contemporary calf. 405J 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.

AULICUS COQUINARIAE or a vindication in Answer to a pamphlet entituled sic The Court and Character of King James. Pretended to be penned by Sir A.W. and published since his death1650.

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. Pp117 slightly torn on bottom right but without significant loss of text otherwise all 205 pages present. 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

Diogenes searching for an honest man with a lamp.

16502105Dutch mid-17th century drawing possibly by Rembrandt pupil Willem Drost. Depicted is Diogenes in robes with his lantern in his left hand and a staff in his right and a group of four figures. Diogenes the Cynic 4th cent. BC renounced material possessions and lived in poverty. He would go out with a lighted lantern in broad daylight to look for an honest man instead he would only find that everyone around him was morally corrupted. He would scare passersby with his lantern causing them to lose their mask and reveal their true intentions.In the present drawing the group of four is clearly scared by the lantern of Diogenes who seems to be towering over them. In fact the artist has placed Diogenes on a higher plane than the passersby an invention that effectively enhances the morality of the scene. This is not found in other contemporary depictions of the same story by artists like Rubens Sandrart Castiglione and Jordaens.The artistdisplays a masterful understanding and application of chiaroscuro. Not only does he use it for the composition he also applies it to benefit the narrative. Light is literally and figuratively at the center of the scene. The artist from the "Rembrandt school" who made most use of stark chiaroscuro in his drawings was Willem Drost 1633-1659. He became a student of Rembrandt around 1650 which corresponds with the dating of the watermark. The style of drawing is also close to drawings attributed to Drost. The facial type of Diogenes in particular the pointy nose corresponds with that found in each of Drost's drawings in the Rijksmuseum. Also the hatchingsmatch those in other works by Drost who made much use of individual lines instead of a continuous zig-zagging stroke and penstrokes of varying thickness to create depth in his compositions Bonny van Sighem 2000.Condition: Number 3 in pencil at the bottom previous attribution to Ferdinand Bol written in pencil on the back. Several small brown spots and a couple minor defects including one on the face of the central figure in the group top edge slightly frayed and creaded. Old repair with tape on the back at the top.Literature: B. van Sighem 'attributed to Willem Drost David Prevents Abishai from Killing Saul Amsterdam c. 1650 - c. 1655' in J. Turner ed. Drawings by Rembrandt and his School in the Rijksmuseum online coll. cat. Amsterdam 2000 Bonny van Sighem 2000; for the watermark cf. Churchill fig. 305; Heawood 305 & 307.
