Later ink inscription on verso reading "from Holland / 1809." Minor wear and soiling. Very good. A very early engraved portrait of Sir Francis Drake.<br/> <br/> A clean impression of the second state of this famous portrait of Sir Francis Drake at age forty-three shortly after he returned from circumnavigating the globe the basis for most of the later images of him. The image is taken from a portrait purportedly painted from life by Jean Rabel the Elder and is said to be a credible likeness of the famed navigator. The legend beneath the portrait indicates the dates of Drake's circumnavigation listing Rabel as the painter and Thomas de Leu as the engraver. Thomas de Leu 1560-1612 a pupil of Rabel's moved to Paris around 1576 and became one of the most noted portrait engravers of his time. This engraving of Drake was the basis for many later images of him including the well-known engravings by Jodocus Hondius and Crispin van de Passe. The earliest graphic image of one of the greatest figures in maritime history.<br/> <br/> Marianne Grivel "Au Sieur Rabel Parangon du la 'pourtraicture'." in H. Zerner and M.

The succession of translations of Pliny's Historia Naturale from the earliest printed incunables to Cinquecento Italian editions is a complex study of the collaborative process among humanist intellectual peers. Renaissance translators of early Greek thought worked with previously published translations offering emendations and alterations to improve or correct an earlier text. Antonio Brucioli edited Cristoforo Landino's well-received translation in 1543 which he then sought to improve upon with his own edition in 1548 making corrections to the table of contents offering an extended preface and including a “Life of Pliny.†Ultimately Landino's translation was the preferred text supplanting this Brucioli edition making it the only edition of this version of Pliny's Historia Naturale.

It remains a standard work for the Roman period and the advances in technology and understanding of natural phenomena at the time.

Trykt på svært papir. <br/><br/><em>Extremely rare first printing of what is arguably the world's first facsimile namely Mads Vingaard's 1576 reproduction of the first printing of the Law of Sealand originally printed by Ghemen in 1505 and here re-issued in exact reproduction. This wonderful print is not merely a "line to line word to word"-reproduction but a facsimile making use of the same types and exact reproductions of the woodcuts. It is generally believed that "the first facsimile in the history of the book was a manuscript of Austrian provenance - the Goldene Bulle - reproduced in 1697 by the Frankfurt law historian Heinrich Günther Thülemeyer and Johann Friedrich Fleischer" from "Imagination Almanach" 1986-1993 Sammelheft. 1993; 2006. The present reproduction predates that work otherwise hailed as the first "facsimile" in the history of the book by more than a century!Some credit Plantin in the 17th century with being the first to produce a facsimile. This is also about a century after Mats Vingaard's facsimile of the Law of Sealand. Like the laws of Sealand and The Law of Scania The Law of Jutland" constitutes a law book "Rechtsbuch" in German in the sense of a private collection of those common laws pertaining to inheritance ownership marriage measurement of land murder theft vandalism etc. that were commonly applicable in the region.The medieval Danish regional laws possess an immense importance both linguistically and legally and the influence is evident even today both in the development of our legal system and of our written language. At the time of their foundation the Danish kingdom was divided into jurisdictional areas lands that in turn were divided into townships. Each land had a county council which also served as a judicial court. It quite quickly became standard for the township court to be able to refer verdicts and rulings to the county/land council. In the 13th century there were three main lands namely Jutland Sealand and Skåne. With time these three lands came to rule over all townships and thus we find three ruling legal books from the 13th century namely the three earliest Danish law books - Jyske Lov the Sealandic Laws and Skånske Lov. They were all printed for the first time in 1505 and 1505 respectively. It is not until 1683 with "Danske Lov" that Denmark gets a law that covers the entire kingdom. The 1576 facsimile is scarce and Thesaurus estimates that only ab. 10 copies still exist on private hands. </em> unknown

Important Latin edition of an Arabic medical compendium first printed also in Latin in 1479 with additions by Gerard de Cremona. It provides a collection of opinions voiced by Greek and Arabic physicians on pathology and therapeutics. "No Arabic printed edition exists so far" Choulant. The ninth-century Christian physician perhaps in or near Damascus Yahya ibn Sarabiyun son of a Bagarma physician wrote his great medical work Al-Kunnas in Syriac but it was soon translated into Arabic by scholars such as Musa Ibrahim al-Haditi and ibn Bahlul. Manuscripts survive in twelve and in seven books. "The seven-book edition was frequently printed in Latin translations as 'Breviarium' and 'Practica therapeuticae methodus' or here Therapeutice methodi. Albanus Torinus the editor of the Basel 1543 edition called the author Janus Damascenus for which reason he has been confused with the well-known theologian of that name. He is also often mistaken for his younger namesake Serapio junior" GAL.

John's commentaries on Aristotle were influential on medieval and early modern thinkers in Europe such as Gianfrancesco Pico della Mirandola and Galileo. Philoponus has been seen as an important precursor to the establishment of empirical philosophy. <BR> In this book Philoponus comments on Aristotle's De Anima On the Soul and substantially modifies Aristotle's ideas. His commentary deals specifically with Aristotle's theory of light "Philoponus contends that Aristotle' view fails to account both for the laws of optics. Philoponus modifies the theory so as to save the phenomena he proceeds to re-interpret the term Energeia not as a state of actuality but rather as an 'incorporeal activity' which besides constituting the transparency of the medium is also capable of warming bodies.Due to this novel interpretation of Aristotle's terminology light is now understood not statically but as something dynamical." - Stanford Philosophical Encyclopedia. <BR>It should also be noted that since Michael Hayduck's edition Berlin 1897 it is generally assumed by scholars that the third book of the commentary that had been ascribed to John Philoponus wasoriginally written by Stephanus of Alexandria as is attested in the manuscript Parisinus gr. 1914 11th/12th cent.

An allegorical love poem that unfolds as a dream vision the "Romance of the Rose" is the work of two authors Guillaume de Lorris who composed the first 4000 or so lines around 1230 and Jean de Meun who contributed an additional 18000 lines 40 years later. Our version was edited by the poet Clément Marot 1496-1544 to make the language more accessible to 16th century French readers and his efforts contributed to a renewed popularity for the tale. Marot did four recensions of the text; this is the final one. After our printing no other edition appeared until 1735. According to Bourdillon the woodcuts here are copied from the "very pretty" series in the 1529 edition. The scenes are impressive in the level of detail especially considering their diminutive size. Pierre Marcellin Lortic 1822-92 was one of the great binders of 19th century Paris known for his superb interpretations of traditional styles as in the present binding. According to Flety "at once artisan and artiste intelligent and conscientious an expert and a lover of his metier he knew how to give his work the finish the brilliance that very few practitioners of his time could attain." Our copy comes from the library of French bibliophile Paul Grandsire of Nogenten-Bassigny Haute-Marne whose notable collection of French imprints from the 15th to the 18th centuries was sold in 1930. All early versions of the "Romance of the Rose" are sought after and this is especially true of well-preserved copies of those editions with charming illustrations and in fine bindings favored by discriminating bibliophiles.</p> Jehan Masse [Jean Macé]

The first printing of the Margarita Poetica was printed by Johannes Sensenschmidt in1472 between 1472 and 1503 there appeared at least a dozen editions In this edition the marginal index letters correspond to those of 1493 Venice edition. <br />¶ Eyb went to Italy and devoted himself to humanistic study at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna. He returned to Germany in 1451 having been appointed Canon at Eichstätt and Bamberg. From 1452 to 1459 he was again a student at Bologna gaining the degree of doctor in 1459. The Margarita is named after Eyb's mother and was written in 1459.<br /><br />Fabriccius observed the "Eyb stressed two things throughout the Margarita: to be able to write well and to be disposed to live properly."<br /><br />¶ In a contrast to "Ars Dictaminis" perhaps the Middle Ages version of TEXTING von Eyb uses this work to re-Introduce Cicero's Vetera Rhetorica.
