First edition of "an important milestone in the early literature of gas analysis.Magellan 1722-90 was an Augustinian prior who emigrated to England and Protestantism in 1764. Elected F.R.S. 1774 he published this account of his researches on gases addressed to Joseph Priestley. The glass apparatus for impregnating water with fixed air carbon dioxide is described in detail. Newly improved by 'Mr. Parker' the apparatus was superior to that used by Priestley and described by him in 1772. Carbon dioxide was prepared by dissolving marble calcium carbonate in dilute sulphuric acid. Magellan also describes three new types of eudiometer he had designed; these and the apparatus for making carbonated waters are illustrated in the frontispiece."-Neville II p. 125.

LISORARTUT caption title of ORIGINAL LITHOGRAPH OF A GREENLANDIC FAMILY SLEDDING AND SKIING

1905WRCAM32109Godthaab Greenland 1905. Lithograph 10 1/2 x 16 1/4 inches. Worn along left edge small closed tears along top and bottom edges of center fold. Two old soft secondary fold lines. Very good. An attractive image showing a family of Greenlanders sledding and skiing down a hill likely produced by Lars MÃƒÂ¸ller Greenland's premier printer or by MÃƒÂ¸ller's youngest son Steffen. The illustration shows a family of seven Greenland natives sledding down a hill while two other youngsters ski alongside with one of the skiers in the process of falling. Other winter sports enthusiasts cavort in the distance and the stark Greenland landscape is ably depicted. Lars MÃƒÂ¸ller an accomplished printer and illustrator was the dominant figure in Greenlandic printing in the last quarter of the 19th century producing much of the printed output in the country. His son Steffen succeeded his father and produced impressive works in his own right including a native language speller from which this illustration may be an example.

Opusculum Raymundinum de Auditu Kabbalistico sive ad Omnes Scientias Introductorium

03734Paris: Aegidius Gorbinus 1578. A Remarkable Survival of Three Books by RamÃ³n Lull - 'Doctor Illuminatus' One of Athanasius Kircher's Greatest Influences LULL RamÃ³n. Opusculum Raymundinum de auditu Kabbalistico sive ad omnes Scientias introductorium. Incipit libellus de Kabbalistico auditu in via Raymundi Lullii. Paris: Apud Aegidium Gorbinum. 1578. Twelvemo 4 3/8 x 3 1/8 inches; 111 x 80 mm. 82 i.e. 80 leaves A8-K8. Woodcut printer's device on title Renouard no. 376. Folding table and two woodcuts in the text and five plates with woodcut diagrams including one with a volvelle with two moving parts. Title-page with the German Jesuit library stamps of "Domus Bonnensis" and "Bibl.script". A fine copy of a rare and important work which includes among its five plates a volvelle mounted with its two movable parts still present. Third Edition the previous two appeared in 1518 and 1538 in Venice all of which are very rare. "How successful was the thesis of 'De auditu kabbalistico' in the 16th and 17th centuries could be shown by the impressive reception of this treatise which ranges from about Giordano Bruno Claude Duret Johann Heinrich Alsted and Athanasius Kircher up to Leibniz" G. Kurz ed Meditation und Erinnerung in der FrÃ¼hen Neuzeit p 115; trans. This text has found an important place in the body of Kabbalistic texts with its attribution to RamÃ³n Lull 1232-1316. However there is evidence that this is the work of a Renaissance physician and Kabbalist scholar when one goes back to the original 1518 edition. Pietro Mainardi born about 1456 obtained his doctorate at the University of Ferrara in 1490 and went on to teach medicine there until 1527. He was definitely a great scholar of Lull and while composing this work he drew heavily from Lull's Ars Brevis and inserted kabbalistic references and added very effectively some of his own. However he did not sign the work. He apparently wished to remain anonymous as the author so his name appears only in the colophon of the 1518 edition as the editor and publisher. Thus in later editions with different publishers and colophons the work became Opusculum Raymundinum. The work definitely has very scholarly content and a form so similar as to be considered a work of Lull and would from then on be ascribed to him. Its great success is attested by several documents and printed texts in which quotations from the present work De auditu would mingle with the Kabbalistic text collections of Lull. In addition this is the first book that deepens and broadens the ars combinatorial method invented by Lull through which by using diagrams figures or words you can connect in a sort of mechanical logic information in each field to get closer to universal knowledge as well as to be able to memorize it. Many later scientists and philosophers Bruno Agrippa Kircher Alsted Leibniz and his followers or writers Roussel Raymond Queneau Perec Calvino Eco were interested in the theories expressed here.

A fine copy of a rare and important work with the plate with the volvelle mounted with its two movable parts still present. Rare compendium edition of the Ars Magna - and therefore defined Brevis - of the Catalan philosopher and theologian RamÃ³n Lull who lived in the thirteenth century and was the author of numerous works of scientific argument mystical-philosophical and even literary. The work of Lull ranks for many critics of the foundations of modern science and was studied and deepened by thinkers such as Nicola Cusano Giovanni Pico della Mirandola Giordano Bruno Kircher Cartesio Descartes and Leibniz. "This work written at Pisa in 1308 was the most widely read and widely distributed version of the Art. It corresponded to a desire peculiar to the second of the Art's phases to simplify the principles of the Art. The Ars Brevis starts by stating that it was written so as to facilitate access to the â€˜Great Art' specifically the Ars generalis ultima 1305-1308". "The Ars brevis operates in accordance with a remodelled version of logic that Llull dealt with in the Logica nova 1303: the â€˜compartments' containing two or three concepts correspond therefore to propositions and syllogisms. The Art shows one how to â€˜find' all possible propositions and syllogisms from the terms given in the Alphabet and how to verify their truth or falsity. The Tree of Science 1295-1296 on the other hand reveals how the structure of principles and relations in the Ars brevis is linked with the whole of the intelligible world. The Ars brevis contains thirteen highly dense parts. The first part presents the Alphabet; the second the Figures; the third the definitions of the Principles; the fourth the Rules; the fifth the Table; the sixth the Evacuation of the Third Figure; the seventh the Multiplication of the Fourth Figure; the eighth the â€˜mixing' â€˜mixtio' or combining of the Principles and the Rules; the ninth the nine Subjects; the tenth the application of the Art; the eleventh the questions; the twelfth familiarisation with the Art; the thirteenth â€˜the way to teach this Art'". See Anthony Bonner. Selected Works of RamÃ³n Llull volume 1 pp. 569-646. ".The next twist in the path came from perhaps the strangest character in the history of Lullism the German Jesuit Athanasius Kircher 1602-1680 scientist mathematician cryptographer and student of Egyptian hieroglyphics. With the idea of perfecting Llull's Art he published in Amsterdam in 1669 his vast Ars magna sciendi. This work begins in reforming the alphabet of the Art inventing little symbols a heart for Concordantia a donkey for Animalia etc and continues with what Martin Gardner calls a fascinating mixture of Science and nonsense."

It abounds with Lullian figures and circles bearing ingenious pictographic symbols" Gardner Martin. Logic Machines and Diagrams. RamÃ³n Lull Poet Philosopher Alchemist Catalan Mystic - also known as Doctor Illuminatus. "The definitive Ars Magna Lull's greatest contribution to science - his attempt to unify all knowledge into a single system. Lull invented an â€˜art of finding truth' which inspired Leibniz's dream of a universal algebra four centuries later. The most distinctive characteristic of his Art is clearly its combinatory nature which led to both the use of complex semimechanical techniques that sometimes required figures with separately revolving concentric wheels - â€˜volvelles' in bibliographical parlance - and to the symbolic notation of its alphabet. These features justify its classification among the forerunners of both modern symbolic logic and computer science with its systematically exhaustive consideration of all possible combinations of the material under examination reduced to a symbolic coding. The Art's function as a means of unifying all knowledge into a single system remained viable throughout the Renaissance and well into the seventeenth century" DSB.

Lucani M. Annaei Lucan or Lucanus ; commentary by Hugo Grotius and Thomas FarnabyABAA

Pharsalia. Sive De Bello Civili Casaris et Pompeii translated: On the Civil War Between Caesar and Pompey

1681001379Amsterdam: Apud Janssonio Waesbergios 1681. Full Calf. Very Good. 330 6 pp. 12mo with copper engraved title page by Giovanni Van Den Avele. Pharsalia is considered a masterpiece and possibly the masterpiece of the Silver Age of Ancient Roman poetry. The epic poem concerns the Roman Civil War at the time of Caesar and most particularly the extended struggle between Caesar and Pompey the Great. Lucanus writing a century later during the reign of Nero far from glamorizing the warfare took a jaundiced view of the fraticidal battle and his portrait of both Caesar and Pompey was far from flattering. His "epic poem" therefore is epic in terms of length scope and ambition not in its portrayal of the principals. Because of the subject matter the popularity of "Pharsalia" has crested at times when a society still steeped in the Classical canon of literature descended into civil strife when the themes and point-of-view of Lucanus really resonated. Never was this more the case than in the seventeenth century when this copy was printed. First there was the final emergence of the Netherlands from under the yoke of Habsburg rule and then there was the English Civil War just to mention two instances both highly germane to the edition at hand. Thus the notes by Grotius and Modern calf with a black spine label and marbled endpapers. The work is incomplete and breaks off during the tenth book which Lucanus was still working on when he was forced to commit suicide. The binding is tight. Some leaves with more toning than others but overall quite clean. There are leaves in which the margins are parlously tight or the header is even close to being partially cut-off -- this is the upshot of the compact size of the copy and was the way the copy was issued over three centuries ago. This particular edition is not mentioned in Brunet. Apud Janssonio Waesbergios unknown books

In 1828 he edited Les Contes du Gay-Sçavoir a witty collection of medieval ballads and fables. The text is printed in Gothic characters and illustrated to imitate the style of medieval manuscript illumination; it is followed by endnotes and a glossary printed in Roman type. The major illustrator of the work Richard Parkes Bonington was an English Romantic landscape painter who also worked in lithography. He was a close and admired friend of painters Eugene Delacroix and Antoine-Jean Gros. Gordon Ray speaking of Bonington says his importance in the development of lithography can hardly be overstated.His designs for Vues pittoresques de lEcosse and Contes des Gay-Sçavoir are by no means negligible. Boningtons career as a lithographer was short but splendid. - Art of the French illus. book pp. 173 & 176. Fine fresh and bright rare colored copy of this nostalgic work on the medieval period.

15436296Lyon: per Gioanni Pullon da Trino" i.e. Jean Pullon dit de Trin 1543. First edition. Very Good/Exquisitely rare first printing of Ortensio Lando's most famous book his first in a modern language that in later editions and in translations became a 16th-century best seller. Lando's name does not appear on the title page or anywhere in the book except in code. His real name shows up on no edition published in the 16th century. A dedicatory leaf after the colophon attributes the text to "M.O.L.M" interpreted generally as "Messer Ortensio Landi Milanese." More cryptically there is a phrase printed after the telos "SVISNETROH TABEDVL" mirror writing for "ludebat Hortensius" Ortensio has played. It is serious play. The Paradossi undertakes in the key of popular "world upside down" folklore to prove black what is commonly accepted as white. For instance it is better to be poor than rich better ugly than handsome better drunk than sober and so on. Biographical sketches of Lando are remarkable for how little information about him is available. Peer of Aretino and Doni friend to Etienne Dolet later incinerated for heresy he was a non-believer who nevertheless took Augustinian orders and later deserted them. Member of a prestigious literary club L'accademia degli elevati he was above all an outsider. All of his books landed on the Index of Prohibited Books and "I paradossi" in particular was widely banned and copies of it were confiscated. Probably the first book printed by the obscure Italian printer working in Lyon Giovanni Pullone da Trino later called "Jean Pullon de Trin". Following Pullon's modest press run the text was quickly taken up and reprinted badly by Bindoni and others in Venice twice in 1544 1545 1563 1594 etc. and translated into Latin into French by Charles Estienne 1553 and into English 1596. If you Google "Jean Pullon" you will get dozens of pages advertising pull-on jeans. . Octavo 17cm; 112 leaves signed A-O8. Printer's device on title page Ferraris 1 showing a human-faced moon in the sky reflected on the surface of the land. Bound in later 18th-century or 19th-century dark green leather in neoclassical style with gilt central losenge within gilt borders on both boards; gilt-tooled spine with leather title label. Joints reinforced but tender; light marginal stain along bottom edge; O7 torn and repaired remains of tape. Early marginalia trimmed close. Later c19 notes in French on endleaves. Pages not bright. All in all a very good copy of a very rare book.

Lando or Landi Ortensio.ABAA

Quattro libri de dubbi:

15526331Venice: Gabriel GIolito de' Ferrari 1552. First edition. Very Good/The title promises four sets of "questions and their solutions" and indeed that was the plan. Lando wrote Q&A on four topics: medical questions including dietary and aging functions ethical questions questions about religion and questions about love and sex. It was the love and sex part that raised the eyebrows of the censors and neither Lando or his publisher Giolito could get permissions to print it as the book was going to press. As Giolito himself declares in a postscript to the reader: "I promised you four books of doubts but since I haven't yet been granted a license for the doubts about love I'm forced to give you only three. Be well and enjoy as much of the book as I could give you." The license came later and the text appeared in later editions. This unfinished text with its publisher's apology represents a fascinating birthmark on the 16th-century book trade. The Q&A ranges over hundreds of topics calling upon the author's medical training much involved with the humors and temperaments associated with various organs objects and creatures his classical erudition and his training in the Augustinian order. The three sections together provide comprehensive insight into 16th century medicine and popular religious and moral thought. The odd matter of two versions of the dedication page leaf A ii is not easily explained. We suspect with some justification that Lando sought patronage for the same work in different locations knowing that Protestant Germany rarely spoke with Catholic Italy and vice versa. He might have found different backers in different markets. We know that to be the case with at least one other book of Lando's the "Sermoni Funebri" 1549 where some copies are dedicated to Fugger and others to Niccolo degli Alberti. That case is known and recorded. We find no recorded instance of the alternate dedication of "Quattro libri dei dubbi" to Fugger and no record of the author being identified by signing the dedication letter in any other copy. The "Quattro libri de dubbi" was quickly translated into French Lyon 1558 and by William Painter into English entitled "Delectable demaundes and pleasaunt questions with their severall aunswers." 1566 and again 1640. . Octavo 16 cm; 318 2 pages. Woodcut device on title page and on last page. Woodcut initials. Bound in recent vellum in period style yapp edges titled in ink on spine. Early 20th-century bibliographical note bound in. Marginal annotations in contemporary hand. Leaf a ii the dedicatory letter present in two states the cancel addressed to Johann Jakob Fugger closing with Lando's name and the original leaf addressed to Christoph Mielich and not signed as usual. Small perforation in the cancel affecting a word. Occasional light stains darker on last leaf. References: Bongi I 368; Melzi II 391; BM Italian 377 1556 ed.; Fontanini II 117.
