COLLECTIF. MANUSCRIT - EXTRAITS HISTORIQUES ET SCIENTIFIQUESLivre Rare Book

Manuscrit. Extraits historiques. [et scientifiques].

1775AMO-4003s.l.n.d. (vers 1775) 1 volume in-folio (37,5 x 25 cm) de 378 et 170 pages. L'intégralité du volume a été rempli (4 feuillets blancs intercalaire entre les deux parties. Reliure de l'époque plein parchemin tacheté, lacets de soie verte, étiquette de titre manuscrite au dos (petits manques). Reliure très fraîche, décorative et très solide (un coin endommagé). Intérieur parfait, calligraphié d'une très belle et très lisible écriture cursive avec quelques éléments décoratifs à l'encre au pochoir (culs-de-lampe). Collationné complet. D'une même écriture soignée d'un bout à l'autre du volume. Compilation didactique anonyme ayant probablement servi à l'étude personnelle de quelque Grand de la fin du siècle des lumières. On y trouve une compilation d'extraits historiques pour la première partie (depuis le règne de Philippe II surnommé Auguste (1181) jusqu'à la mort de François Ier (1547), tirés de différents historiens. La seconde partie contient des extraits scientifiques tirés de plusieurs sources (Dictionnaire encyclopédique, L'Histoire du commerce dans les deux Indes par Raynal). Les citations d'articles entiers tirés de Raynal laissent supposer une recueil compilé vers 1770 ou 1775. Dans les extraits historiques on s'arrêtera particulièrement sur le récit complet de l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc et de son procès. Dans les extraits scientifiques on s'arrêtera sur des articles consacrés au tonnerre, les volcans, la lave, le Vésuve, l'éclair, les tremblements de terre, le diamant, la taille du diamant, le marbre, le stuc ou marbre factice, puis le sucre, la canne à sucre, la culture des cannes à sucre, cases à bagasses, la purification du sucre, travail et raffinage du suce dans les îles, etc. Un ensemble parfaitement conservé et très intéressant. Nous n'avons aucune idée de l'auteur de cette compilation qui nous semble faite pour la culture générale et personnelle d'une personne de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe siècle en mal d'érudition. Aucune marque de provenance. Bel exemplaire. Unique et imposant manuscrit.

HUXLEY, Henry MinorMareMagnum

Five Manuscript Letters from the American Archaeological Expedition To Middle East in which he discusses Stone Inscription Discovery which were subsequently Concealed

Beirut, Damascus, Hama, Bhamdoun: 28 February 1900 - June 1901. Lot of 5 manuscript letters written and signed by Harvard anthropologist Henry Minor Huxley, concerning anthropological work performed for the Howard Crosby Butler Archaeological Expedition to the Middle East, as well as a noteworthy archaeological discovery of an ancient and curious stone inscription, its location guarded with secrecy by the few expedition members having this knowledge. 8vo. double-leafs varying in size. 24 pages combined, each letter signed in the original. Two letters are on hotel stationery. Occasional light creasing, otherwise in very good condition, clean and bright, a fascinating and candid primary source account. Writing to a trusted source, his mother, Huxley's reveals the discovery of an ancient inscription carved into an overturned stone, in a language possibly not yet identified, stating that he took the first photograph of it, and that only a select few expedition members are privy to knowing its location. His commentary on experiences with the local civilians and officials are straightforward and occasionally blunt. Henry Minor Huxley, A.M. accepted the offer to join the American Archaeological Expedition led by American archaeologist Howard Crosby Butler. The first part of the archaeological work took place from mid-October to mid-December 1899, and a second trip was made for continued work from March to June, 1900. In the summer of 1900, he was devoted to acquiring a working knowledge of the vernacular Arabic. Huxley's work, however, involved a broader scope. During this second trip, he was also tasked with the study of physical anthropology, as is apparent in the present correspondence. This work proved so valuable that Huxley, owing to the patronage of New York businessman and archeological enthusiast B.T. Babbitt Hyde, remained for another year to further these anthropological observations, independently. What does not appear to be officially documented in publications, but is highly fascinating, is what Huxley writes in his last letter of the present lot. That is, in June 1901, just prior to returning to America, he alone returned to the site of a stone inscription discovered during the earlier part of the expedition (presumably in 1899), to copy it, photograph it, and turn it back face down so that no others would see it. This would increase the likelihood that he and one other would have a better chance of being the first to decipher it.

Flora: Overo Cultura Di Fiori

1638018234Roma: Pier Ant Facciotti 1638. Small thick quarto pp 12 520 26 illustrated with an engraved title page an engraved frontispiece though here bound in after the preliminary pages and 45 plates of 46 - lacking the plate which occupied pages 55/56 some age-toning and slight foxing throughout the plates a bit more browned but without the intense browning often found in this book overall quite tight internally one preliminary page and pages 395-398 protruding slightly and a little chipped and frayed at the margins full vellum binding probably original rather used and marked but quite sound and firm the upper and lower cover a bit warped and bowed the front hinge cracked but firm and showing traces of old glue. The first Italian edition. Ferrari 1584 - 1655 was an Italian Jesuit and professor in Rome and a botanist. He devoted himself till 1632 to the study and cultivation of ornamental plants and published De Florum Cultura which was illustrated with copperplates by amongst others Anna Maria Vaiani possibly the first female copper-engraver. The first book deals with the design and maintenance of the garden and garden equipment. The second book provides descriptions of the different flowers while the third book deals with the culture of these flowers. The fourth book continues with a treatise on the use and beauty of the flower species including their different varieties and mutations. The plants featured in Ferrari's research came from Cardinal Francesco Barberini's private botanical garden the Horti Barberini a garden which was under the care of Ferrari. Several Cape bulbs are illustrated for the first time - most notably Haemanthus coccinea but also Amaryllis bella-donna Brunsvigia orientalis and Ferraria crispa. Hunt Library Catalogue rather downbeat in its comment - "The fame rests more on the quality of the engraved plates than on their contribution to botanical knowledge". Perhaps so but horticulturally I feel this is a fundamental work for its period. Nissen BBI 620; Pritzel 2877. Vellum. Good. Pier Ant Facciotti Hardcover
