27103Norimbergae (Nürnberg), apud Petrum Conradum Monathus, 1716. Title printed in red and black, engraved vignette, with engraved frontispiece, engraved title, 6 engraved folding maps and plates, including the large engraved map of the Holy Land, 8 engraved plates, and illustrations in the text. Three volumes in one, continuously paginated: [14], 788, [82] pp. 4to. Contemporary vellum. Brunet iv, 1203-4: "Ouvrage très estimé"; Graesse, Trésor de Livres Rares & Précieux, vi, 75; Blackmer 1406; Chadenat 4935: Hage Chahine 3950; Tobler, p. 213. Second and revised edition, first published in 1714. A Dutch translation appeared in 1719. Reland, the celebrated Dutch orientalist, was professor of oriental languages and ecclesiastical antiquities at the University of Utrecht. His description of Palestine is a remarkable work for its time, a significant, long-lasting contribution to research into the history and geography of early Palestine. Reland was eminently qualified to conduct this exhaustive survey: he was a geographer, cartographer and polylinguist possessing, in addition to the European languages, full command of Hebrew, Arabic and classical Greek. The work enumerates and describes 2500 sites mentioned in the Bible, Mishna and Talmud and is probably the most important work published by Reland. - Ancient annotations on front paste-down and recto first fly leaf, small stamp in blank portion of the title-page, a bit age-toned but a good copy. The illustrations in good impressions and showing, besides the Holy Land, among others a folding genealogical table of the Herods and a folding table comparing ancient measurements of distances.

50665Istanbul: Yeni Kitapçi 1935. Octavo. Original pictorial wrappers by Ali Suavi; 62 2 pp. Very good; only very faint wear and discoloration to wrappers. First edition of this volume of poems by Hikmet with a restrained but clearly avant-garde-influenced wrapper sign by Ali Suavi. In this cycle of poems Hikmet portrayed individual persons from the public as well as his private life. Ali Suavi 1910 or 1913-1994 designed most of the covers of Hikmet's books. Little is known about Suavi who was a famous designer of books and later became known as a photographer. Nazim Hikmet 1902-1963 is considered the founder of modern Turkish poetry who transcended Ottoman versification and absorbed the influence of Russian futurist writers such as Sergei Esenin but above all Vladimir Mayakovsky. Aside from the "step-ladder" form of verse he shared with Mayakovsky his sociopolitical engagement as well as Esenin's love for the simple folk and his origins. Impressed by the 1917 October Revolution in Russia he resisted the occupying powers in Constantinple and fled to the countryside where he sought to connect with various socialist and libertarian organizations. In 1920s he traveled to Russia twice for extended periods of time where he studied in Moscow and was in close contact with Soviet Futurist poets. Upon his return in 1928 he was subject to imprisonment and harsh repressions including a ban on publishing but nevertheless garnered success with readers and created a prolific output while in prison. In 1938 he was sentenced to nearly three decades of jail but was released in 1950 and fled to Moscow exile in 1951 where he was a leading public intellectual and died in 1963. He was not published in Turkey until 1965 and remained nearly unknown in the West for much longer.

1586250702001Mantoua Italy: Francesco Osano 1586. Soft cover Ars Rustica. Very Good. Two works published separately in 1586 bound together: <br /> 1. La Bucolica et la Georgica di Vergilio<br /> <br /> The Bucolics and the Georgics of Virgil translated into blank verse. One by M. Andrea Lori: the other by M. Bernardino Danielli with the arguments. Newly corrected and reprinted. <br /> <br /> 2. L'Eneide di Virgilio del Commendatore Annibal Caro Virgil's Aeneid translated by and with commentary from Annibal Caro.<br /> <br /> A 435-year-old edition of Virgil's complete works in 17th to 18th century carta rustica thick paper binding. Collated and complete including most of the original blank flyleaves. Italian text. In VERY GOOD 16th century antiquarian condition. <br /> <br /> PROVENANCE <br /> <br /> From the Virgil Collection of Craig Kallendorf 1954 - 2023 who owned the largest private collection of antiquarian Virgil works 1150 editions not including Incunable books in the world. Only a handful of prominent institutions like the British Library had larger collections. Eighth-nine of the books in his collection were the only known surviving copies 71 only had one other known copy. He worked closely with Princeton University in helping to assemble supplement and catalog its Junius Spencer Morgan Virgil collection. Craig Kallendorf was Professor of English and Classics at Texas A&M University. He was the author or editor of 27 books and more than 170 articles book chapters and reference work entries. Among Kallendorf's groundbreaking monographs on the Virgilian tradition special note might be made of his Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in the Italian Renaissance Oxford: Clarendon Press 1999 which shows how the wide reading of the Aeneid accessed in both Latin and Italian editions contributed to Venetian ideology and the so-called "myth of Venice." With its publication according to reviewer Diana Robin Renaissance Quarterly 55.4 2002 p. 1394 Kallendorf is to be recognized as "the leading authority on the Virgilian tradition in early modern print culture in Italy." <br /> <br /> ABOUT THE BOOK <br /> <br /> Published in 1586 by Francesco Osana in Mantua modern Italy. Italian text. Rebound in 17th to 18th century carta rustica with its characteristic thick paper binding exposed cords on the joints and antiquarian spine writing. Wide-margined untrimmed paper.

Woodcut printer's device on both Book 1 and Book 2 title page. Decorated woodcut initials. <br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT: VERY GOOD <br /> <br /> Endpapers refreshed and without front blank flyleaf for Book 1. Both works are textually collated and complete. The Aeneid retains all of its original blank flyleaves scarce during a rebind. Exterior and binding - rubbed and soiled carta rustica thick antiquarian paper binding. Spine sun-darkened with the remnants of small round sticker adhered to it and what appears to be a tape stain. Rear board with some antiquarian ink writing. Bumped corners. Toned edges. Uncut/irregularly cut pages. Binding strained in a few areas with exposed cords in gutters and the text block pulling away from spine. Overall in remarkably good condition for a thick paper binding hundreds of years old. I<br /> <br /> Interior is VERY GOOD for a 435-year-old binding. Most of the text block is clean and bright white with mostly light foxing to margins. About 20% of text block shows a bit heavier foxing and/or is darkened. Pages are untrimmed and inconsistently cut with rough edges. Raggedy edges and a few leaves with tears or loss of margin corners not affecting text. A few old paper restoration repairs. Minimal worming mostly a few small holes to margins of first and last few leaves and pastedowns. Fore-edge margins browned in multiple places. A bit grubby and soiled endpapers. Former owner ink writing on title page for the Bucolic and Georgics and Kallendorf's ex libris sticker on FFEP. Francesco Osano unknown

While he made no significant discoveries in the field of mathematics Reyneau had a talent for explicating new discoveries in mathematics. His most important work the Analyse demontree was a popular textbook in the early 18th century and was the book used by Jean le Rond d'Alembert to learn the fundamentals of the subject. In it Reyneau describes explains and demonstrates the main theories found in the works of Leibniz Newton Descartes Bernoulli and other pioneering mathematicians of the day. </em><em>Source: Jeff Weber Rare Books</em> Jacque Quillau hardcover
