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.

1713E0012Paris: Chez les T'Serstevens 1713 2 volumes: i-x44816 pages with illustrations 2 folding maps and index; iv28516 pages with illustrations folding map and index. Duodecimo 6 1/2" x 4 1/4" bound early calf with labeled spines. From the Society of Writers to the Signet. European Americana 713/77 this edition not in Sabin Early French edition. Rare French edition of one of the most famous books of the period Exquemelin's account of the adventures life morals and customs of the pirates roaming the seas together with a full description of the Caribbean where they mainly operated. The French edition was just like the Dutch edition directly based on the original manuscript and was adapted by Thomas de Frontigniers. Alexandre Olivier Exquemelin called Oexmelin by the French was a chemist of French Protestant origin who spent several years with the pirates as a ship's surgeon. He took part in their daring exploits like the expeditions of the notorious English buccaneer Henry Morgan called John in the book including his raid on Maracaibo in 1669 or a year later his attack on Panama. The first edition of Exquemelin's eye witness account was published in Dutch in Amsterdam by Jan ten Hoorn in 1678 an edition so rare that it long escaped bibliographers. Exquemelin who once before in 1672 had shortly been in Amsterdam returned there in 1677 to take the 'chirurgijn' exams he sorely needed to exercise this profession at Jamaica where he had settled and in 1679 he made his last 'proof'. Meanwhile he also offered his manuscript to the publisher's Ten Hoorn who printed it in 1678. The book became immediately so polular that editions were published everywhere. The Spanish edition of 1681 probably also published in Amsterdam was long taken for the first. The first French edition was published two years before the present but both editions are equally extremely rare. In 1684 Exquemelin had sailed for France and the captain of the ship impressed with his stories saw to it that Exquemelin's manuscript was made ready for publication. The French edition altough seemingly much the same as the first Dutch edition from which most translations were made proves by closer comparison to be considerably enlarged. Several extra chapters are added mostly treating the natural history of the Spanish Americas and the romantic figure of Monbars is found here for the first time. For both the Dutch and French editions Exquemelin's manuscript had been adapted but according to De la Fontaine Verwey has kept the French edition the closest to the original. The illustrations for the French edition were newly made as well and where the Dutch edition mainly shows the portraits and atrocious acts of the pirates the plates of the French edition pay more attention to the geographical and natural historical aspects including for the fist time the plate with a buccaneer in hunting costume. Another plate shows the catching of turtles at night and the illustration in the text shows a sea-cow of which Exquemelin made a special study. The maps were also newly designed with the help of AbbBaudrand who wanted to remain anonymous; they include a map of the Isthmus of Panama drawn by Exquemelin himself. The book therefore is an important 'Americanum' as well. Of special interest are the two "Appendices" with an account of the possessions revenues and offices of the Spaniards in America including a complete list of all ecclesiastical functionaries in Spanish America together with their salaries. No book in any language was ever the parent of so many imitations and the source of so many legends and it still is popular today. The Society of Writers to Her Majestys Signet is the oldest legal society in the world. It is a private society of Scottish solicitors. The Society dates back to 1594 and is part of the College of Justice. Writers to the Signet originally had special privileges in relation to the drawing up of documents which required to be signeted but these have disappeared and the Society is now an independent non-regulatory association of solicitors most of whom are based in Edinburgh. Members of the Society.

PAULINUS OF ST BARTHOLOMEW [also called Johann Philipp Wesdin or Werdin]Biblio.com

India Orientalis Christiana continens fundationes ecclesiarum seriem episcoporum missiones schismata persecutiones reges viros illustres and two other works

17943703905Rome: Typis Salomonianis 1794. Three works bound together quarto the first main work with folding map 2 plates and an engraved portrait vignette with two shorter pamphlets 24 & 26 pp.; an attractive copy in contemporary patterned vellum boards spine banded red morocco spine label faded. Three works by Paulinus including his important India Orientalis Christiana a study of and introduction to the Carmelite missions in India in the late eighteenth century in a particularly attractive contemporary binding. The work is illustrated with two plates and a fine map of India as well as a smaller vignette portrait of Paulinus himself. Paulinus of St Bartholomew 1748-1806 also known as Johann Philipp Werdin or Wesdin was a missionary and orientalist. A member of the Carmelite Order in 1774 he was sent to India Malabar where he was appointed vicar general of his order. In 1789 he was recalled to Rome in order to report on the mission and given the task of preparing books for the use of missionaries. One of the first Orientalists to note and work on the close relationship between Indian and European languages Paulinus was the author of many learned studies on the east and is best known for having published the first Sanskrit grammar. As an antiquarian who worked from original sources he was fortunate to have the patronage of Cardinal Stefano Borgia 1731-1804; a good Borgia whom he served as private secretary and who financed many of his publications. Both men served long periods on the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide a body preoccupied with exotic languages insofar as they impacted on spreading the christian gospels but also in understanding exotic theologies. In this context the Propaganda Fide was a central recipient of missionary collecting in the field which gave Paulinus exceptional advantages which enabled him to undertake extensive linguistic studies. After Borgia's death his remarkable library and museum were gradually distributed with the important biblical manuscripts mostly being added to the Vatican libraries after the secular materials had chiefly made their way to the national library of Naples. The two rare pamphlets bound in here are both concerned with Borgia's museum: Scitismo Sviluppato. del Museo Borgiano Rome c. 1793 and Lettera. del Museo Borgiano Rome same period both written in Italian not Latin and both discussing the Museo Borgiano. Borgia was particularly expert on Coptic relics but here Paulinus discusses early Brahmanic and other Indian manuscripts in his collection. All of these works are rare although as often the pamphlets are the scarcer. Worldcat lists some 10 copies of the India Orientalis Christiana 2 copies of the Scitismo and only 1 of the Lettera. . Typis Salomonianis unknown

1706B6518Paris / probably Amsterdam: Gedrukt tot Parys inde Koninglyke druckery van den klyne Louis Carel Allard. Imprime a l'Imprimerie Royal du petit Louisâ€. Circa 1706. Very rare and desirable overall plates are crisp and clean; corner of title and edges of some plates slightly darkened; corner torn off at plate 13. . Notes: An important work on the War of the Spanish Succession with a collection of prints by Carel Allard or â€œPetit Louisâ€ ridiculing the â€œSun Kingâ€ or Monarch Louis xiv in eclipse. Many of Allardâ€™s prints initially separately were published in sets of varying combinations â€“ including the present â€˜Almanachâ€™. For instance the Rijksmuseum owns a copy of a later 1713 publication entitled 't Lust-Hof van Momus Beplant met de voornaamste Gewassen van Mars in Europa Een opgepronkt met Staat-kundige Zinnebeelden Des Tegenwoordigen Oorlogsâ€™ by Abraham Allard in which most of the prints of the present work are incorportated. Carel Allard known for depicting royalty inspired other later publications such as satirical engravings in the â€˜South Sea Bubbleâ€™ published approximately a decade later. Muller comments on the rarity of the prints and the present series; only few known copies exist mainly owned by institutions; Muller states: "Their value as expressions of the spirit and life of the common people is inestimable: indeed there is almost no period in our history for which we possess such a rich treasure of prints." While the title states that the publication was printed in Paris researchers claim the place of editing and printing to be Amsterdam that not the royal imprimerie of â€˜Petit Louisâ€™ was used but the printing house of Carol Allard in Amsterdam.

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. 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.".

Notes: Publius Ovidius Naso or Ovid 43 BC â€“ AD 17/18 was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. A contemporary of Virgil and Horace he is often ranked one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature and enjoyed enormous popularity. Augustus sent him into exile where he died. Today he is best known for his Metamorphoses a 15-book continuous mythological narrative written in the meter of epic and for works in elegiac couplets such as Ars Amatoria "The Art of Love" and Fasti. His poetry was much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages and greatly influenced Western art and literature. The Metamorphoses remains one of the most important sources of classical mythology. The Metamorphoses Ovid's most ambitious work was written in dactylic hexameter about transformations in Greek and Roman mythology set within a loose mytho-historical framework. The characters in this work undergo many different transformations. Within an extent of nearly 12000 verses almost 250 different myths are mentioned; each myth is set outdoors where the mortals are often vulnerable to external influences. The first book describes the formation of the world the ages of man the flood the story of Daphne's rape by Apollo and Io's by Jupiter; the second Phaethon and the love of Jupiter with Callisto and Europa; the third focuses on the mythology of Thebes with the stories of Cadmus Actaeon and Pentheus; the fourth on three pairs of lovers: Pyramus and Thisbe Salmacis and Hermaphroditus and Perseus and Andromeda; the fifth on the song of the Muses which describes the rape of Proserpina; the sixth on the rivalry between gods and mortals beginning with Arachne and ending with Philomela; the seventh on Medea as well as Cephalus and Procris; the eighth on Daedalus' flight the Calydonian boar hunt and the contrast between pious Baucis and Philemon and the wicked Erysichthon; the ninth on Heracles and the incestuous Byblis; the tenth on stories of doomed love such as Orpheus who sings about Hyacinthus as well as Pygmalion Myrrha and Adonis; the eleventh on marriages of Peleus and Thetis and the love of Ceyx and Alcyone; the twelfth moves from myth to history describing the exploits of Achilles the battle of the centaurs and Iphigeneia; the thirteenth discusses the contest over Achilles' arms and Polyphemus; the fourteenth moves to Italy describing the journey of Aeneas Pomona and Vertumnus and Romulus and the final or fifteenth opens with a philosophical lecture by Pythagoras and the deification of Caesar. The end of the poem praises Augustus and expresses Ovid's belief that his poem has earned him immortality. In analyzing the Metamorphoses scholars have focused on Ovid's organization of his vast body of material. Ovid engages creatively with his predecessors alluding creatively to the full spectrum of classical poetry.

Restif or "Retif" de la Bretonne Nicolas Edme 1734 1806.ABAA

Les gynographes ou Idées de deux honnêtes-femmes sur un projet de reglement proposé à toute l'Europe

17776329The Hague but Paris: Gosse et Pinet; Humblot 1777. First edition. Fine/The collected works of Restif de la Bretonne would probably fill an entire wall case. He wrote tirelessly producing some 250 books--a considerable physical task if not the intellectual achievement of some of his contemporaries in the French siècle des Lumières. Restif was a libertine and he wrote quite a lot about sex. He also bravely ignored standard literary forms forging his own way into autobiography polemic essay pornography and fiction leaving trails that are yet to be explored. The volumes offered here in their completely original unsophisticated state form a part of an ambitious series of books that appeared over two decades under the umbrella title "Idées singulières" Modest Proposals an extensive compendium of rules and regulations for the creation of a utopia. Each title in the series proposes a reform project for a particular aspect of society. In the case of Les gynographes that aspect is the status of women in society. While not entirely a 21st-century feminist disappointingly he is unable to exceed received patriarchal attitudes Restif makes some presciently modern arguments including that gender inequality is a social construct and is not biologically determined and that education is the key to gender equality. Indeed the text betrays a disconcerting mix of statements that can be interpreted as misogynistic alongside truly revolutionary ideas about the condition of women in society. Even the 19th-century bibliographer P.L. Jacob notes that "some very singular and very original ideas" occur juxtaposed against "severe and unjust comments" about women. . 2 volumes octavo 22; viii 238; 239- 567 1 pages. Unbound untrimmed unmarked and completely unsophisticated copy in original publisher's marbled paper wraps. Pages not bright. Some dampstains and occasional spots. References: Courbin "Rétif et son oeuvre" #14595; Rives Childs XVI p. 245; Jacob XVII p. 143. Gosse et Pinet; Humblot paperback books
