166920514Paris: Chez N. Pepingve Avec Privilege du Roi 1669. Full leather. The 1669 1st French edition --and 1st published edition-- of Gioachino Greco's seminal "Le Jeu des Eschets". Greco c. 1600 - c. 1634 was the strongest player in Europe in the early 17th century and among the first to record entire games not just particular openings or combinations. His vast influence as cited by H.J.R. Murray among other historians of the game is keenly felt to this day. This copy is likely in its original full-leather binding certainly in a contemporary-to-the-period binding. Solid and VG with minor forgivable wear along the edges and the preliminaries. The interior though is very clean the pages surprisingly crisp and clean. Originally recorded by hand in Greco's native Italian here translated --and issued in book form-- for the first time. Chez N. Pepingve (Avec Privilege du Roi) unknown

Description: "Over the past fifteen years Beijing has experienced unprecedented changea change more dramatic and profound than ever before. Contemporary skyscrapers and architectural forms are gradually enclosing the historic city centre. Steel and glass structures constructions reminiscent of distant metropolises highways viaducts and sports facilities have given Beijing a new face. Speed combined with ever-changing rules and regulations are the main characteristics of contemporary Beijings transformation. Understanding this process means arranging intermediate and transitional phases into a logical sequence in a historical and urban context of reference. The speed at which the city is changing means that the work site phase and the actual moment of transformation have become an integral part of project elaboration thereby influencing and modifying its development. This state of sudden and seemingly chaotic evolution is nonetheless supported by an urban structure dating back thousands of years and by a well-defined past. It is essential to understand this in order to identify the continuity in the midst of change which in itself seems to be the real essence of the citys evolution. " -- with a bonus offer-- .
