L’opera affronta la annosa questione dei riti malabarici, cosiddetti dalla regione indiana di Malabar: i Gesuiti, missionari nelle Indie orientali, avevano autorizzato una pericolosa e non ortodossa commistione di cerimonie cristiane e riti pagani. Il cappuccino Norberto, (1697-1770), pseudonimo dell’abate Platel, offre una descrizione storica molto dettagliata e critica delle missioni gesuite in Malabar, arricchita da molte notizie circa la cultura e costumi degli indiani. Il legato pontificio de Tournon promulgò nel 1704 la prima condanna dei riti malabarici, e con Benedetto XIV si ebbe la normativa in 16 punti che definiva il comprtamento dei missionari cattolici. missioni mission viaggi India malabar riti rites customs indians jesuits gesuiti cappuccini

plein vélin ivoire d’époque à fermoirs, tit. manuscrit à l’encre sur dos lisse, p. de tit. rouge et noire, vignettes, lettrines, impression avec commentaire en marge, (fermoirs manquants, épidermures et taches sur la couv. avec qq. mq., trous de vers en début et fin d’ouvrage, qq. mouillures en marge, qq. p. avec papier acidifié, rares rousseurs et piqûres), int. frais malgré les défauts soulignés Par cette somme complète du droit français de la fin du XIVe siècle (la première édition est de 1387), B. fut un des premiers avec Beaumanoir à ouvrir la voie à l’unification du droit et à la réformation-rédaction des coutumes. L’édition ici présentée est la dernière qui ait été imprimée. Elle contient des importantes annotations de Charondas. Outre les passages fondamentaux sur les pouvoirs du Roi de France, les fondements du droit civil coutumier, il y a naturellement dans ce recueil une multitude de choses curieuses (spécialement en matière pénale) ; on ne peut s’empêcher d’en citer quelques unes - sur les personnes « refroidy de nature », les juges et avocats corrompus (p. 293) et pour terminer, (p. 1493) « destre sodomites item qui est prouvé sodomite doit perdre les coüilles pour la première fois & pour la seconde fois doit perdre le membre, & pour la tierce fois doit estre ars ». Il est à noter que Charondas, annotant cette partie de la somme rural souligne que pour lui il doit être puni de mort dès la première fois. Frappante manière de montrer le plus grand libéralisme des mœurs médiévales qu’à l’époque classique. Texte d’une grande rareté.

Occasionally foxing on some pages and tissue papers, some notes on the blank pages in pencil. Otherwise a very good copy. Exceedingly rare first Turkish edition of this eye-witness travel account of American explorer and diplomat Schuyler's two-volume "Notes of a Journey in Russian Turkistan, Khokand, Bukhara, and Kuldja", describing the fall of the Khiva Khanate, Muslim life in Central Asian cities, and detailed geographical survey Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan. Schuyler's account gives detailed information on the Russian steppe and the Volga River before proceeding to Central Asia proper, with chapters on the Syr Darya, daily life in Tashkent, bazaars and trade, Samarkand, the Zarafshan Valley, and Hodjent (present-day Khujand, Tajikistan) and Kurama (a mountain range in present-day Tajikistan and Uzbekistan); Khokand, Bukhara, Issyk Kul (in present-day Kyrgyzstan) and Semiretch (present-day Semirech'e, Kazakhstan), and Kuldja (in present-day China), and concludes with chapters on Russian administration, Russian foreign policy in Asia, and the Khivan Campaign of 1873, in which Russia conquered the Khivan Khanate. Eugene Schuyler was an American diplomat, explorer, author, and scholar who was one of the first foreigners invited by the Russian government to see Russia's newly conquered territories in Central Asia. In 1873, while serving as the secretary of the American legation in Saint Petersburg, Schuyler made an eight-month trip through lands then little known to outsiders. He gathered extensive geographical information and wrote an account of his travels for the National Geographic Society and a lengthy confidential report for the U.S. Department of State. He was critical of the Russian treatment of the Tartars but otherwise saw the Russian presence in Central Asia as benign. (Source: World Digital Library).
