Palau y Dulcet IV 107; RSIM B VI 429; MGG VI 1403 f.; Gregory-Bartlett I 129. Three minute dents to front board a hint of wear to bands and corners isolated faint foxing blank recto of frontispiece leaf and blank verso of final leaf with faint blue shadown from endpapers but all of these quite trivial and otherwise A BEAUTIFUL COPY--fresh clean and bright internally with very wide margins and strong impressions of the plates and in a lustrous binding showing with few signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is surely one of the handsomest poetical treatises on music ever produced and it is offered here in a binding done by one of the finest craftsmen working in Europe during the period of the book's publication. The work is written in the "silva" form of poetry used by persons of high rank illustrated with fine engravings and put into elegant morocco by the finest hands among the large Derome family of binders. According to Palau our first edition is "beautiful and printed on fine paper." He says further that although the strongly expressed opinions of the youthful author on contemporary composers caused the work to be "unfairly attacked" it was "appreciated by professors of music and collectors of literature in that genre" especially in Italy and America. A child of the Enlightenment Iriate 1750-91 gained entry to intellectual and artistic circles in Madrid through his uncle who was librarian to the king of Spain. He translated works by Horace and Virgil into Spanish by royal request and wrote criticism poetry and dramas. He is best known for his satirical fables on the contemporary literary scene "Fábulas literarias." There were no fewer than 18 members of the Derome family who made their livings as binders in Paris from the middle of the 17th century until the first quarter of the 19th but by far the most distinguished family member was Nicolas-Denis called "le jeune" 1731-88. Known for the gracefulness of his bindings and for being capable of "amazing delicacy" in Hobson's words Derome le jeune was simply the leading binder of the day and his work was much in demand. Because he refused to turn away customers Derome was forced to hire a number of assistants whose work he could not always supervise closely. However Thoinan says that the binder's best work is indicated by the presence of his ticket as here. The volume's provenance adds to its luster: it was in the distinguished library of American bibliophile Mortimer Schiff 1877-1931. In Dickinson's words Schiff a financier and philanthropist Schiff "brought together an unrivaled collection of decorative bindings." His library included works by great printers important illustrated books and works printed on vellum but chiefly fine and historic bindings. The "Reliures" database of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France commends Schiff for assembling "one of the most important inter-war libraries" noting that his collection was "renowned for its collection of French bindings.".

17161469Haarlem: Weduwe van Hermanus van Hulkenroy 1716. Early 19th-century marbled boards with a paper title label on the spine. 4to. With an etched frontispiece an etching of a mermaid on the title 2 folding etchings 2 full-page etchings and 21 etchings in the text all after Adriaen van Ostade. Further with musical annotation to all songs. First edition of a rare Dutch songbook with songs for farmer's festivals all with musical annotation. The work has been beautifully illustrated with etchings after the famous Dutch painter of country life Adriaen van Ostade 1610-1685. The fine etchings newly made and in reverse present an exemplary survey of Van Ostade's work showing busts of peasants women on their way to the market carrying baskets farmers smoking merry parties dancing in front of the farm a knife-grinder a schoolmaster etc. Together they give a lively impression of country life.The work was published anonymously but has been attributed to either Jan van Gijsen 1668-1722 or Aäron van Hulkenroy 1687-1733. Van Gijsen was a popular author who wrote a large number of occasional poems. His collected works were published at Amsterdam in three volumes in 1707-1711 but the present selection was probably published only once partly with the address of the Widow of Van Hulkenroy and partly with the address of J. van Egmont who had also published the collected works. Aäron van Hulkenroy was the son of publisher Hermanus van Hulkenroy and took over the publishing company after both his parents had passed. He was also a poet who wrote various poetry collections which were always published by his mother or later himself. The present work has been attributed to him because the very first poem on the verso of the half title is signed with his initials.The boards and spine are rubbed with some loss of material at the lower outer corner of the front board. The leaves and plates are somewhat foxed a small tear in the margin of first folding plate has been repaired on the back. Otherwise in good condition.l Goovaerts 1011; Cat. Muziekhist.
