In this reasoning I had the will to satisfy not only the curiosity of some amateur of the grateful and generous Wines of Cyprus giving the rules to list them but also to be able to improve the Cultivation the Manufacture and the Conservation of our Tuscan Wines and particularly to improve the quality of the wines produced there using the support from the genius of our Farmers"</p><p>More in details he starts addressing the issue of the poor resistance of Tuscan wines to navigation deepening the observations already published in the first volume of his "Travels in Cyprus".

17500001563Good. 1750. On offer is an absolutely sensational ancient original 1750s manuscript sailor's vade mecum or reference manual handwritten by and or for a mariner over 260 years ago. The name William Wine appears on the rear inside cover dated March 4th 1788. The handwriting is similar throughout to the signature but it is inconclusive if Mr. Wine is the author original owner or a later owner. The first page detached but present is dated November 1750. There are many many tables of information illustrations charts drawings etc. that are indexed and with over 420 pages written in a small meticulous hand there are within these pages everything that a mid-18th Century senior officer or mate would require being filled with geographical mathematical financial navigational and geometric information and there are also sections detailing carpenter's work joiners painters glaziers lavers masons plus foreign exchange and monetary info and conversions in foreign countries. There are sections for algebra calculus trigonometry all manners of measurement whether liquid or dry and even how to calculate the contents of a globe with many of the mathematical sections deal with measuring heights and distance from afar measuring and surveying dealing with casks all information that a Lieutenant 1st mate or Ship's Master or even a Captain would need. We conclude that the information and the quality of the manuscript book vellum which double folds and creates an envelope that would protect the pages from the elements plus a metal clasp broken give further credence that this book was owned by a senior officer and most certainly of English origin as evidenced by the section regarding Oxford and Cambridge terms plus a chart that helps one establish the dates of the Easter season leap years tides . The volume begins with a few pages of indices and in the first section one finds pages of geographical place names and distances from one to another: "the coast of Carolina Virginia etc. to Newfoundland" and the "Bohema Islands" and another "The Coast of y.e main Continent in y.e West Indies" and the degrees of longitude and latitude are listed alongside each listed place. The standard depth and sheer volume of information also leads us to conclude that the seaman was likely an officer of a merchantman as opposed to a casual traveler. This is an absolutely unique manuscript relic of ancient seafaring and the age of sail. The 7 x 4.5 x 1.5 inch book is generally soiled on the covers but the interiors are good save for the loose page and the odd stains to the inner pages. The cover is stiff somewhat fragile and has some cracks/tears but overall the book is G. ; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GREAT BRITAIN ENGLAND BRITANNIA RULES THE WAVES NELSON HORNBLOWER AUBREY RAMAGE REFERENCE MANUAL HANDBOOK NAVIGATION MARINE NAUTICAL NAVAL TIDES VADE MECUM SAILOR SAILING AGE OF SAIL SEVEN YEARS WAR TRAVEL ASEA SURVEYING LONGITUDE LATITUDE MATHEMATICS GEOMETRY GEOGRAPHY PORT OF CALL HARBORS SEAFARING SEAFARERS HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORYantiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito papel. . hardcover
179265431792. 59 leaves enumerating the names of grapes cereal crops and oils and their prices for nearly two centuries. Small folio 273 x 178 mm. 18th-cent. vellum over boards tail of spine defective two of four ties lacking. Burgundy: 1622-1792.<br/> <br/> A fascinating and rare survival which details the precipitous rise in the prices of Burgundian wine and the emergence of a hierarchy among regions and vintages over a 170-year period. This document consisting of three gatherings 28; 28; 3 leaves bound together and written in several legible hands provides a wealth of information on grain harvests in the region which varied greatly from year to year and indicates years with disastrous harvests. The present manuscript constitutes a unique history of agriculture in Burgundy especially pertaining to the evolving market for Côte de Nuits wine.<br/> <br/> “Burgundy had no experience like the boomtime of 18th-century Bordeaux. No new wines were invented no new districts planted. The Bordeaux picture is all expansion and creation; the Burgundy one of evolving tastes and techniques of new market forces and overall of slowly progressing definition: a more precise notion of the character style and value of the wine from each corner of the Côte…In the Côte de Nuits the notion of the ‘cru’ was further advanced…The vineyards were generally less overcrowded and by now planted with cuttings rather than layers; hence more deep-rooting. Increasingly in the 18th century owners of the most prestigious crus selected their best grapes to make separate cuvées the best vat being called the ‘tête de cuvée’.â€â€“Hugh Johnson Vintage 1989 pp. 267 & 272.<br/> <br/> The motivation for compiling this record-book may have come from the introduction of a law in 1622 that outlawed the sale of Lyonnais and Beaujolais wines as Burgundian. The records of the first three decades consist mostly of grains and oil from the region but in the early 1670s wines begin to predominate and the lists for each year become increasingly long. It is very likely that at this point landowners would have shifted to using any arable land for vastly more lucrative grapes. By the 1690s dozens of grape varietals are noted from communes such as Auvilliers Les Cailles Chambolle Chorey Comblanchien Corgoloin Côte de Beaune Gilly Magny Saint Georges Saint Julien Les Cailles Vaucrains Pouilly Prissey etc. Prices for wine rose enormously from the 1690s and experienced peaks in 1701 1733 and 1770. Wines are increasingly categorized by the mid-18th century according to vineyard and in some cases cru.<br/> <br/> The name “de Bays†appears several times in the manuscript and the signature of “de Bays†is found at the end of the year 1771.<br/> <br/> Very few comparable documents survive and the present manuscript provides a vast amount of data on the prices for wine grapes and grains in the 17th and 18th centuries.
