1689ST20606Bordeaux: Pierre Abegou Jean Martel 1689. 156 x 89 mm. 6 1/8 x 3 1/2". 14 p.l. 95 1 80 pp. With a life of the author. <br/> APPROPRIATELY CELESTIAL CONTEMPORARY VELLUM SPRINKLED WITH GILT STARS on covers flat spine densely tooled with repeating Gascon-style fleurette. Two section titles with an excellent woodcut depicting Nostradamus surrounded by the instruments of his trade woodcut tailpieces of stars and moon. Front pastedown with pencilled name and annotations of Nostradamus scholar Daniel Ruzo de los Heros. USTC 6163254. Minor soiling and three small brown stains to covers first quire and last two quires a bit browned due to paper quality one leaf with horizontal crease partially obscuring a line of text though still legible other isolated imperfections but an excellent copy nevertheless the text clean and fresh and the curious binding shining with gilt and showing almost no wear.<br/> <br/> In a particularly charming star-studded binding this is an excellent copy of Nostradamus' famous prophecies which has been part of two major Nostradamus collections. The famous astrologer and physician Michel de Nostre-Dame known as Nostradamus 1503-66 caused a sensation with the publication of his "Centuries" in 1555 a collection of predictions written in nearly impenetrable quatrains that has enjoyed a certain measure of popularity ever since. Published in Bordeaux in 1698 our edition contains the 942 surviving predictions together with a brief biography of Nostradamus. Our copy is distinguished by a strikingly appropriate contemporary "reliure parlante"--a binding designed to mirror the contents of the book it covers; in this case the field of shimmering gilt stars perfectly suits the subject of reading the heavens and wonderfully complements the celestial woodcuts in the book. This copy has been part of two notable libraries of Nostradamus material. Former owner Daniel Ruzo de los Heros 1900-91 was a Peruvian scholar and eccentric whose wide-ranging career included serving as district mayor of Miraflores in Lima publishing numerous works on the possible man-made nature of the geologic formations in Marcahuasi and most relevant here collecting a wealth of Nostradamus material. His 1970 work "El Testamento Autentico de Nostradamus" includes his theories on Nostradamus' prophecies along with a bibliography of published editions of Nostradamus' works including many from his own library; the present copy is not included suggesting it was a later addition to Ruzo's collection. The extensive pencil notations on the front pastedown include Ruzo's cryptographical interpretations of Nostradamus' verses--including an anagram of "Nostradamus" as "Mandat Russo" roughly translated from the Spanish as a "command made by Russo" which Ruzo has further marked with his own name to ensure no one could miss the joke. The present copy subsequently passed into the library of Elmar R. Gruber b. 1955 psychologist researcher and noted collector of mediumistic art. His esoteric research led to an interest in Nostradamus and he built a significant collection of Nostradamus material culminating in his 2003 publication "Nostradamus: Sein Leben sein Werk und die wahre Bedeutung seiner Prophezeiungen.".

The seven beauties; containing the life and adventures of King Bahram Gur and the seven stories told him by his seven queens. The Book of Bahram Probsthain's Oriental Series Vol. XII. Translated by C. WE. Wilson B.A. "The fourth of Niami's treasures The Seven Beauties 1196 has its own special place in the poet's output due to itss unusual structure and its social and psychological approach.". Charles Edward Wilson 1858-1941 began the study of Persian in early youth. First assisted by Jules Mohl and afterwards by N. de KhanikofF S. Guyard and Professor Palmer. From natives of Persia acquired a thorough knowledge of the colloquial. The seven beauties also known as Bahramnameh The Book of Bahram referring to the Sasanian king Bahram Gur is a romantic epic by Persian poet Nizami Ganjavi written in 1197. This poem is a part of the Nizami's Khamsa. The original title in Persian Haft Peykar can be translated literally as "seven portraits" with the figurative meaning of "seven beauties". Both translations are meaningful and the poet doubtless exploited intentionally the ambiguity of the words. The poem was dedicated to the Ahmadili ruler of Maragha Ala-al-Din Korpe Arslan bin Aq-Sonqor. The poem is a masterpiece of erotic literature but it is also a profoundly moralistic work. <br/> <br/> Heydar Aliyev Foundation hardcover

Translated and edited by Dr. R. Gelpke. Previously published in 1976 London. Nizami the story of the seven princesses Bruno Cassirer. "The central narrative of the poem concerns seven beauties from different countries of the known world who come to take up residence at seven pleasure-palaces built by Shah Bahram.". The story of the seven princesses the most important part of the 'Haft Paykar' The seven beauties by the Azerbaijani poet Nizami 1141-1202 a precious jewel of oriental narrative art to be compared only with the most beautiful stories out of Thousand and one Nights. On the seven days of one week each tale being of the same magical beauty as the miniatures which illustrate the book. Each of the princesses comes from a different countries each has been born under a different star and lives in a different coloured pavilion of the Royal Palace. The symbolic meaning of their stars and of the colours of their pavilions is artfully interwoven with their stories which are meaningfully connected with each other. "The story of unfulfilled love" for instance which the Indian Princess tells to the King all dressed in black in the black pavilion of Saturnus is a tragic one revealing all happiness to be nothing but an illusion; while 'the story of the tribulation of the lovers' vividly told by the Friday-Princess in the white pavilion of Venus reminds ud of the gay sensuality of tales by Boccacio and Balzac. In spite of the world-wide fame of Nizami's epos so far no translation has been published which allows the English reader to enjoy and appreciate the poetic beauty of the incomparable work. <br/> <br/> Heydar Aliyev Foundation hardcover
