1619161520Aden: 1916-19. The First World War in south Arabia A fine personal album of unique images of the AFF in the field taken and compiled by Captain A. G. Dyce 1886-1959 deputy assistant director Supply and Transport Corps. It includes photographs of infantry cavalry and artillery units the use of balloons and the signal contribution of ship-launched aircraft under the command of Charles Rumney Samson. On the outbreak of war Ottoman forces advanced into the Western Aden Protectorate from Yemen forcing the British to withdraw from Lahej and part of the Aden settlement. While Turkish encouragement of jihad fell on deaf ears in central Arabia "it found resonance in Yemen. Ali Said Pasha the skilful Turkish commander was so successful in radicalising the tribes for the Ottoman cause that he was able to push British forces into the enclave of Aden. The tactic that defeated Ali Said Pasha was the use of Imam Yahya who argued that Yemen was not for the British or Ottomans but the Arabs. Arab nationalism eroded Said Pasha's influence and saw England supporting a treaty with Imam Yahya as monarch of Yemen which concluded in 1920" Infantry p. 43. Born in India and educated at Wellington College Alan George Dyce 1886-1959 son of Brigadier-General G.H.C. Dyce Indian Staff Corps joined the Indian Army in 1906 serving initially with 22nd Sam Browne's Cavalry. He was a keen photographer appearing in an issue of Amateur Photographer for 1917 and mountaineer being on the committee of the Himalayan Club. Despite being taken in the field while on active service Dyce exhibits a good eye and composes his pictures with care. There are many shots of the combined arms operating with the AFF: No. 13 Kite Balloon Section of the Royal Navy Air Service five images the Mountain Battery of the Malay States Guides lancers of what are presumed to be the 26th King George's Own Light Cavalry and medical facilities including a cavalry field ambulance at Sheikh Othman an advance dressing station a camel ambulance tonga a two-wheel vehicle common in India and camels with cacolets cradle-like structures mounted either side of the camel's hump. One image signed by Dyce in pencil on the verso is captioned: "The GOC Aden F.F. leaving the dais with the Sultan after the installation ceremony" and shows 'Abd al-Karim II ibn al-Fadl al-'Abdali Sultan of Lahej reigned 1915-1947 being handed down from the dais by Brigadier-General William Crawford Walton. There is a sequence of six images covering the "Fight at Jabir" 7 December 1916 described in General Sir Charles Monro's despatch as having had "a demoralising effect on the Turkish Arab auxiliaries and to have produced the intended result viz. preventing the withdrawal towards the Yemen of Turkish troops from Lahej". One panoramic shot shows British officers observing the shelling of Turkish positions and three others the sighting positioning and firing of what appears to be a six-inch naval gun. Three wide-angle shots show the mountain battery and its camel team hauling 15-pounder mountain guns. A trio of crisp sepia-toned prints depict Indian Army troops of the "water column" perhaps the 66th Punjabis who are named elsewhere: "filling water carts with condensed water sent from Aden" "filling canvas tanks" and "water column moving out". Commander Samson 1883-1931 features in one image "Seaplane: Cmdr. Sampson sic" which shows a huddle of figures around the cockpit of what appears to be a Short 184 its wings detached and apparently undergoing repairs. This accompanies "Signalling to plane with lamp and canvas strips" another excellent wide-angle shot taken from a high position that encompasses a rail track steamroller and men laying out a triangular canvas-strip indicator. Most intriguing is a small snapshot of a manned seaplane suspended from a derrick over the side of a ship probably HMS Ben-my-Chree. The pilot may be Samson and the plane a Short 184 that he modified by adjustments to the wings and tail fin and christened the "Short Cut". Captured Turkish prisoners feature in eight images including their commander Said Pasha; two are captioned "Turks marching in to surrender" and "Turks going in by train" while a series of five is titled "Turkish prisoners and guns" including a touching image of two Turkish soldiers under escort their eyes bandaged one holding the other's coat tails.

Contemporary manuscript docketing on p.16 and contemporary ink underscoring on p.7.

Closed tears in final leaf repaired with very early paper on verso. Light staining and foxing. Overall very good. The original Spanish translation of an important invective against Louis XIII during the first phase of France's involvement in the Thirty Years' War. At the time of this publication in 1626 France had actively begun to support the Protestant side in the conflict concerned with the political threat of the Hapsburg states that surrounded it on three sides in Spain and Spanish-controlled Flanders to the south and north and the Holy Roman Empire in Germany to the East. In 1624 Cardinal Richelieu was appointed to the Royal Council of Louis XIII and immediately began to institute a vigorous anti-Hapsburg policy. The following year France joined England in subsidizing the efforts of Christian IV of Denmark to defend Lower Saxony against the Holy Roman Empire beginning an involvement in the war that would eventually lead to its own military participation against its fellow Catholic powers. <br> <br> The present document is a long and detailed warning to Louis XIII against pursuing a course of actions that would pit France against the rest of the Catholic world. According to the document itself the text was first composed in French and subsequently translated into Latin and thence into Castilian Spanish. It immediately occasioned a number of responses and refutations and its anonymous authorship soon became the subject of a 200-year-long debate. In his exhaustive and authoritative bibliography on the Jesuits BIBLIOTHÈQUE DE LA COMPAGNIE DE JÉSUS Augustin de Backer seems to have put the question of authorship to rest attributing it to the German Jesuit Jacob Keller. Keller 1568-1631 was a German scholar and controversialist widely regarded as a genius and best known for a counter- Calvinist tract on Tyrannicide and a celebrated defense of the Papacy in a debate with Lutheran theologian Jacob Heilbrunner. Backer lists both the French and Latin versions of the EXHORTATION. and refers to a German translation but he omits any mention of the present Spanish version. He also describes the document as having been printed in Italy which may result from confusion regarding the city name of Augusta. While Augusta Syracuse was under anti- French Spanish control in 1626 and may thus be a candidate for the printing location all other signs and context point to Trier "Augusta Treverorum" in Latin including the publisher's imprint which calls Augusta an "imperial city" and declares permission for publication from the Holy Roman Emperor. <br> <br> An extremely interesting and rare document anticipating the violent wars between France and the rest of Catholic Europe of the following decade and offering a view of the French-Hapsburg rivalry from the Austro- German Hapsburg perspective and translated for the Spanish Hapsburg audience.

Bound in contemporary blind-stamped pigskin raised bands boards beveled somewhat scuffed clasps missing. Blue edges small hole repaired on half title and engraving ownership inscription of Andechs Abbey on title page minor browning in some quires. An excellent and unsophisticated copy. First edition of a rare volume of prose and verse glorifying the military exploits of the Prince-Elector Kurfürst of Bavaria Maximilian I 1572-1651 by members of the University of Ingolstadt as compiled by the Jesuit philosopher-theologian Georg Stengel 1584-1651. The Gloria Bellica is an important witness to the intertwining of princely power university politics and religious sectarianism at the onset of the Thirty Years War 1618-48. Published in the year of Maximilian's elevation to Prince-Elector 1623 the book seems to have been an attempt by faculty at Ingolstadt to secure his favor. The increasingly Jesuitical university would be frequently imperiled during the flux of the war and quickly identified Maximilian himself educated by Jesuits as an important military protector. Maximilian's central role in the German Catholic League had been essential in checking the power of the Protestant Union. The volume is especially notable for its full-page prefatory engraving executed by the Augsburg artist Daniel Manasser a highly detailed and elaborate allegory charting Maximilian's martial rise and the praise conferred on him from various secular and sacred sources. Merchants clerics Liberal Arts herself and a throng of lesser citizens crowd together to salute Maximilian as he rides upward on the back of Pegasus toward the Olympian gods reclining in the empyrean; the demigod Hercules mediates between heaven and earth while battling Nessus and the Lernaean Hydra. Flanking Maximilian's ascent are 8 groups from whom he receives "Gloria": his enemies his commanders and soldiers muses and scientists hometown Bavaria the Catholic League the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I the pope and church and indeed Mary Christ and the saints. The text of the Gloria Bellica is arranged as a fuller version of this scheme with 20 chapters each detailing a source Maximilian's glory.
