With "H.F. Norman M.D." bookplate on front paste-down. A classical work on prognosis.

First edition as an independent work. This work on questions of heresy in civil and canon law appears to have drawn great interest since editions appeared the same year in Antwerp Frankfurt and Douai. It also helped as Schulte notes that the author's "reputation as a criminalist was enormous." Farinacci begins by defining the act of heresy. He then proceeds to examine where it can be found and how it should be investigated. As indicated by several examples of schismatics Farinacci was motivated in part by the Counter-Reformation. He also addresses heretical books pp. 81-99 practitioners of magic witches on those who invoke and consorting with demons pp. 99-155 and the apostasy of clerics. There is much on the power of the inquisition and the role the inquisitor in the investigation of charges of heresy the use of excommunication and methods for investigating guilt which has a detailed section on the use of torture pp. 287-297.

162050700Firenze Florence: Pietro Cecconcelli 1620. Second state. Very good. First edition of this landmark neoclassical tragedy - the first documented performance using moveable scenes - with exquisite double-page etchings of the stage by an influential innovator of the form. First performed in Florence in 1619 IL SOLIMANO was a turning point in modern European theater. Bonarelli not only rejected the chorus format of the long-established ancient Greek model but made use of extravagant set design to tell his political-historical drama. <br /> <br /> Bonarelli based the tragedy loosely on Suleiman the Magnificent the famed Turkish sultan of the 16th century under whose rule the Ottoman Empire experienced a Golden Age of the arts. The story of a tyrant who puts to death his eldest son IL SOLIMANO culminates in the awe-inspiring destruction of the city by fire. Otto Benesch calls the moveable scenes created for the performance "the first in the history of theatre" 17 and notes that despite the ostensibly Turkish setting these sets depict early modern Florence. A mixture of neoclassicism and orientalism IL SOLIMANO captured the imagination of Europe going through multiple editions over the century and inspiring further plays and operas. <br /> <br /> This first edition remains highly sought for its Callot plates that not only depict the innovative set but show many of the subtleties of style and technique that Callot pioneered under the patronage of the Medicis. His well-known mastery of stoppings out for example is evident in the final plate of the city in flames where tendrils of smoke and individual bursts of fire cross the scene in a variety of depth light and shade. <br /> <br /> An important work in both the history of theater and of the graphic arts. Quarto 8.75'' x 6.45''. Later half parchment with marbled boards gilt-ruled spine red goatskin spine label. Complete with six plates by Callot engraved title page and 5 double-page etchings. Engraved title with Callot's name in bottom left. 10 162 2 pages. Repairs in gutters of a number of leaves including reinforcements or new stubs to engraved spreads.

He was one of the most accomplished printmakers in the Western tradition and one of the major exponents of the Mannerist style in the early 17th century. His often fantastic compositions combine grotesque and elegant elements in a compelling and personal manner.†Grove Dictionary of Art.

1700ABC_47581Paris 1700. 8vo. Nicolas Pepié Contemporary vellum with the manuscript title on the spine blue sprinkled edges. With a small woodcut ornamental vignette on the title page and some head- and tail-pieces built up from typographical ornaments 2 318 10 pp. This particular account on Chinese cults known as the De cultu sinensis was authored in 1668 and published posthumously. It was written by Prosper Intorcetta 1625-1696 who embarked on a journey to China in 1656 alongside Father Martini and a group of fifteen other priests who were engaged in missionary work in the province of Jiangxi. Intorcetta who assumed the Chinese name of In-to-tsé and the nickname of Koi-ssé was imprisoned in Canton in 1664. After his initial release he managed to travel to Rome in 1671 to witness the fate of his fellow missionaries before being arrested again in 1690. Alongside his work on the translation and study of Confucius' classics for which he proposed a complete translation the present work played a crucial role in the establishment of the subject of sinology in Europe as it dates back to the early years of missionary presence in China. Furthermore it contributed to enhancing understanding of the Chinese language. The De cultu sinensis was a response to the concerns raised by Domenico Navarette a Spanish Dominican archbishop and missionary who served in Mexico the Philippines and later in China. Navarette strongly opposed certain Chinese rituals and Intorcetta's book addresses this contentious issue.With the large oval black owner's stamp of Cardinal Jean-Marie Gabriel on the title-page and page 5 a manuscript owner's inscription in brown ink "Bibliotheca J. Pudentiana" on the title page and with a small manuscript annotation "J. Pud." on the front board. With some offsetting from the manuscript owner's incription in the first free flyleaf and a small paper repair to the bottom margin of the title-page without affecting the text. Slightly browned throughout otherwise in very good condition.l Cordier Sinica 884; Sommervogel IV 642 no.6; WorldCat 18792180 12 copies. hardcover
