An elegant edition with beautiful typography and ornamentation. Thomas Corneille 1625-1709: playwright poet. To distinguish himself from his brother Pierre Corneille Thomas was known as â€œMonsieur Corneille.â€ He was one of the leading authors who began to produce plays during the Fronde and brought out even more plays than his brother Pierre: thirty-eight plays composed alone or in collaboration. His first tragedy Timocrate 1656 helped to restore the genre to popularity after the troubles of the Fronde. Although he was more attractive in manner and in conversation than Pierre he lacked Pierre's genius. Still "with Quinault he filled the interval in the history of the French drama between the zenith of Pierre Corneille and the advent of Racine" Harvey and Haseltine. Although not as important a playwright as his brother Thomas wrote with great facility. He is credited with perfecting the French language as can be evidenced by this translation of Ovid begun shortly after he left school his notes to Claude Favre Vaugelas Remarques su la langue Francais 1647 his compilation of a dictionary of arts and sciences for the Academie Francaise 1694 and his editorship of Mercure galant with Donneau de Vise. The artist of the two engravings fronting the books is the son of Hermann Weyen or Weyher Laurent Weyen 1643-1672 a Flemish engraver who died in Paris. Laurent also engraved illustrations for the works of Moliere. Provenance: Goodspeed's Bookshop/Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow. Claude Barin hardcover books

LITERAE P. JO. CHRYSOSTOMI GALL OLYSSIPONAE DATAE. And EXEMPLUM LITERARUM R.P. TERENTII AS R. PATREM JACOBUM KOLLERUM Contemporary Transcripts of two Letters of Two Jesuit Missions in China India and Japan.

162134518Lisbon and Hangzhou China: Manuscripts ca.1623 and 1621. Very Rare A Similar Manuscript Exists in Brussels. We know of no others. The Latin text of both letters is written in a neat uniform cursive hand in brown. Folio leaves 33 x 20.5 cm The transcripts bound in 18th Century stiff blue wrappers the blank paste-downs and endpapers are late 18th century most likely the third quarter between 1745/1753 and 1776 since they contain a clear "lion/vryheit/pro patria" watermark with a crowned GR countermark which resembles Heawood 3148 3149 and 3154. The paper used for the manuscript contains a faint double-headed eagle watermark and it has been reinforced in the gutters. A very pleasing survival very well preserved edges slightly mellowed the wrappers show some signs of wear. VERY RARE MANUSCRIPT TRANSCRIPTS. Chrysostomus Johann Gall 1586-1643 was a German Jesuit and scholar. He left Ingolstadt Germany to teach astronomy mathematics and navigation in Lisbon fro 1620to 1627 before leaving to work in the Jesuit missions in India. The Colégio de Santo Antŕo benefitted from the arrival of many foreign mathematicians and other scholars as Lisbon serves as a gateway for all missionaries departing for Asia. The original letter by Gall was written in Lisbon September 1623 and concerns a newspaper style description of various events including details of the perseution of Christians in Japan particularly the execution of large numbers of the Christian community in Nagasaki in 1622. The second letter in the present work is especially interesting as the original was written by Johannes Terentius also known as Johannes Schreck an Deng Yuhan Hanpo 1576-1630. Terentius was a prominent Jesuit scholar specialized in natural science and mathematics. Before joining the Jesuits as a novice1611 he already enjoyed a grea reputation in Germany as a scholar. In 1621 Terentius left for China to join the Jesuit mission. The original letter by Terentius was written in Hangzhou China on 30 August 1621 to the rector of teh Jesuit College in Munich Jakob Keller 1568-1631. He discusses his journey to China which he started in 1618 his intentions to participate in the planned calendar reform in China and his impressions of the city of Hangzhou which he reached in 1621 Terentius wrote several works on european medicine mathematics and technology in Chinese and together with Johann Adam Schall von Bell and G. Roho introduced European tigonometry and European astronomical instruments to China. In 1629 he began to reform the calendar which J.A. Schall von Bell ocmpleted after Terentius' early death a year later. Backer & Sommervogel VII col. 1929-F Manuscripts unknown

James I King of England and Ireland aka James VI of Scotland or James Charles Stuart. Signed by Anne of Denmark aka Queen ConsABAA

Manuscript conveyance of the Manor of Corrodownan in Ulster Northern Ireland and all the lands and tenements lying or existing thereon with the stipulation amongst others that none of the lands be granted to any Irishmen.

16113462Latin manuscript on vellum with large 6 in diameter suspended black wax seal of James I of England and autograph of Anne of Denmark dated July 23 1610 granting title to Corrodownan Manor in County Cavan Ulster to one John Browne Gent. of Gorgiemill near Edinburgh and his descendants during the Plantation i.e. colonization of Ulster under James I beginning in 1609. The colonists were settled on land confiscated from the Irish inhabitants following the conquest of Ulster 1594-1603 under James's predecessor Elizabeth I. The Plantation was intended to consolidate royal control of Ulster and repress rebellion by importing a substantial Protestant population. Like John Browne and indeed James himself many of the new colonists were Scottish. Some of these families went on to form the backbone of the Protestant Ascendancy in the province. John Browne and his heirs however were not among them. Sir George Carew sent by the king in 1611 to report on the progress of the Plantation noted that "he Browne . sent an agent who took possession set the lands to the Irish returned to Scotland and . performed nothing." The land was sold in 1613 to another Scottish colonist Archibald Acheson. Acheson's descendants were raised to the peerage of Ireland in 1806 as Earls of Gosford and still owned the property in the late nineteenth century. The first nineteen lines of the document grant the Scottish Browne the rights and privileges of James's English and Irish citizens. Especially notable are the requirement that the grantee maintain an adequate supply of arms for defense against the king's enemies lines 77-80 the attempt to encourage the growth of towns 74-76 and the ban on sale of the property to "mere Irish" or to anyone who failed to acknowledge the sovereign as head of the church thus excluding all Catholics by swearing the Oath of Supremacy 114-121.

Ao. 1630

1630B6616Leiden/Leyden: bij de Elzeviers. Anno 1630. 1630. An important work in near fine condition; some maps watermarked. Brazil map with reinforcement; otherwise text and plates clean and crisp. Binding: Contemporary vellum; heavily tooled with a central medallion of a golden castle at the heart. Spine rebacked saving the original spine. Notes: Joannes or Johannes De Laet Latinized as Ioannes Latius 1581-1649 was a Dutch geographer and director of the Dutch West India Company in 1620 an office he retained for the rest of his life. The city of Leiden sent him as an elder-delegate to the great Synod of Dort 1618â€“1619. De Laet was the first to use expression derivatives developed later; i.e. â€˜Manhattesâ€™ â€˜Manhatansâ€™ and â€˜Nieuvv-Amsterdamâ€™ in-text; â€˜Manbat tesâ€™ and â€˜N. Amsterdamâ€™ on his NOVA ANGLIA map to describe the recently founded New York; and â€˜Noordt Rivierâ€™ and â€˜Zuydâ€™ â€˜Rivierâ€™ for the Hudson and Delaware rivers. The first edition published in Dutch in 1625 as â€œNieuwe Wereldt ofte Beschrijvinghe van West-Indien uit veelerhande Schriften ende Aen-teekeningen van verscheyden Natienâ€ was followed by the second the present work in 1630 which was greatly improved due to its four additional maps and illustrations depicting animals and plants indigenous to America. In terms of pagination and the maps in our work they are congruent with John Carter Brown Libraryâ€™s copy. Concerning this work and the following maps in particular Burden states: "Considerable effort went into the text and maps of this work which was the most accurate description of the Americas available at the time. It is arguably the finest published in the seventeenth century. The exhaustive research involved de Laet reading all of the published and manuscript material that he could find. For the cartographic work he had much to call on being a director of the recently formed Dutch West India Company in charge of all Dutch interests in America and Africa. He therefore had access to the latest geographic knowledge. He drew upon the fine talents of Hessel Gerritsz the official cartographer to the Company since 1617. Gerritsz attained this post before Willem Blaeu under whom he was apprenticed and who was his senior by ten years. "The maps were some of the first to depart from the heavier style of the Mercator and Ortelius period. This more open style of engraving was one that both Blaeu and Janssonius would use in their atlases. The first edition of the book contained ten maps which with the exception of this one the NOVA HISPANIA. // NOVA GALICIA. // GVATIMALA. - Leiden 1625 concentrated on South America. There were none of North America until the second edition in 1630. Although many maps had been produced of New Spain few extended north into the area of present-day Texas. The Rio Grande is here still named the R. Palmas. The B. del Spiritu Santo possibly represents the Mississippi River. Some authorities have questioned this usual assumption. On the west coast of Florida we find the landing place of Juan Ponce de Leon. The delineation of the coastlines particularly of the Gulf of Mexico and the north-west coast of Mexico as the most accurate to date. The map appeared in the subsequent editions in Dutch 1630 Latin 1633 and French 1640. In all these there is no text on the reverse." Burden: 215 p.267 Re: De Laet's AMERICAE// sive// INDIAE OCCIDENTALIS// Tabula Generalis: "The first of these maps was a general one of the continent. Its most interesting feature is that although we know de Laet had seen maps of California as an island he relies on the more trustworthy accounts such as Herrera in depicting a peninsular form. The map has the best west coast delineation to date. He also does not get drawn into the debate about the North West Passage preferring to cut his map short of these latitudes. It appeared in the subsequent editions in Latin 1633 and French 1640. In all these there is no text on the reverse." Burden: 229 p.284/5.

STC 7490. Edmondes ca. 1568-1622 was an English government official likely in the employ of the Earl of Oxford Edward de Vere often mentioned as a possible author of Shakespeare plays. In 1600 he published a commentary on the first five books of Caesar's Commentaries dedicated to Sir Francis Vere Born about 1560 Francis was the second son of Geoffrey Vere of Crepping Hall Essex a younger son of John de Vere 15th Earl of Oxford. In this 1604 edition Edmondes augmented the previous edition with commentaries on books VI and VII and a short dissertation on the modern art of war. There is a further slight familial connection with Shakespeare. John Bernard 1604-1674 married firstly Elizabeth daughter of Sir Clement Edmondes; they had four sons who all predeceased him and four daughters. His second wife Elizabeth was the granddaughter and only surviving descendant of William Shakespeare. It is unlikely however that Shakespeare consulted Edmondes regarding the play Julius Caesar; the play was first performed in 1599 a year before Edmondes' commentary appeared. Good.

First published in 1600 in London by Peter Short dwelling on Bredstreet hill at the signe of the Starre two new editions of the Observations upon Caesars Commentaries appeared in 1604 one issued for Mathew Lownes and one for William Ponsonby and again three more editions appeared in 1609 two are linked to the printers office of Mathew Lownes ESTC S121465 as here and ESTC S91812 and the third ESTC S121472 indicates no publisher. All of the 1609 issues have variations in the titles and imprints as common. Mathew Lownes was a prominent bookseller in London at the Bishops-head in Pauls Church-yard from at least 1595 to 1625; Lowness activity is associated with several important publications on Roman imperial history between 1604 and 1623 which likely put him into the milieu of the author Sir Clement Edmondes d. 1622 who was by 1600 also an influential government official in the House of Commons and City of London. Edmondes wrote his observations on Caesars Commentaries the Gallic and Civil Wars to propagate the ways he believed ancient Roman military tactics might aid contemporary warfare. ODNB and larger scholarship notes that Edmondes carefully molded his remarks and included additional subjective material which was later seen as an attempt to influence the readers experience. This is an important publication thus for exemplifying the intent of some Roman histories written in the early Stuart years. It was popularly received in his time and Edmondes believed his efforts to draw out the true heroism of an ancient republic would help among other ideas the question of how to deal with an invasion of England.

First edition of Vredeman's "Perspective" issued by Hondius and printed simultaneously also in French Dutch and German. Present here is the valuable Latin version "the classical language in which Vredeman's architecture is clad and thus becomes timeless in its character" Millard p. 20f. This is one of the most celebrated works on such a subject and was issued by the Flemish born Hendrik Hondius the Elder 1573-1650. The plates for the most part are engraved and a few signed by him after Hans Vredeman. Plate 14 in part 2 is after Paul Vredeman and 4 plates in this part are signed with the monogram DB probably Theodore de Bry or Bartholomaeus Dolendo. The painter and architect Hans or Jan Vredeman de Vries was born 1527 to a German soldier in Leeuwarden Netherlands and probably died in Antwerp 1604. "The King of Architects" Fowler together with Hans van Schille worked at the fortification of the city of Antwerp and also at the triumphal arches built for the entry of the future Philip II into Antwerp in 1549. As a consequence of the religious upheavals of the period Vredeman worked in Hamburg Danzig and Prague before returning to Holland. He wrote and illustrated the present guidebook on perspective for designers painters and architects. It became one of the major books on this subject and through Vredeman de Vries' various publications he is recognised as the "foremost among sixteenth century Netherlandish architectural authors" Millard p. 19. The two volumes illustrate stage perspective interiors furniture palace and garden architecture. Vredeman de Vries was capable of truly artistic landscaping in the Northern Renaissance and served as a model for some patrician gardens in Germany cf. E. Haupt Baukunst der Renaissance in Frankreich und Deutschland 1916. The book includes a number of scenes and projections employ one-and-multi-point perspective. These were essential demonstrations for artists of those days. This work on perspective summarizes Vredeman's knowledge of art science and geometry.

Lucani, M Annaei [Lucan or Lucanus] ; commentary by Hugo Grotius and Thomas FarnabyBiblio.com

Pharsalia. Sive De Bello Civili Casaris et Pompeii translated: On the Civil War Between Caesar and Pompey; Libri X Additae sunt in fine Hugonis Grotii Notae ex binis antehac editis junctae auctae correctae et Thomae Farnabii in margine etc.

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
