8vo., First Edition, with tinted frontispiece, wood-engraved title-vignette, 20 plates printed in blue, numerous wood-engraved illustrations in the text and 6 large folding maps (one printed in colours), endpapers very faintly spotted; sand cloth, a a very good, bright, clean copy. In one of the earliest personal memoirs of naval service in WWII, Seligman gives a thinly veiled account of his experiences in the Aegean in 1941 when he helped to smuggle five Russian merchantmen through the Axis blockade. He returned on the MV OLINDA and that journey also is described in full. Although there is no connection whatever, this little-known story is reminiscent in sheer daring and blatant skulduggery of Maclean's fictitious The Guns of Navarone. This is an extraordinary book in other ways. Produced by a major publisher not often given to war memoirs, it is unusually well-produced with lavish illustration and large and detailed maps. The print run must have been small for it is very scarce, especially in this condition. Enser, p.63; Law, 0360.

This book generally describes the types of "Ilm-i nücum", using the letter symbolism of worshiping the stars, making sense of the positions and movements of the stars, and looking at fortune-telling with the zodiac. In addition, the book, which uses the mawâlid (prophecy by looking at the position of the star in the zodiacal zone during human birth) and ihtiyârât (deciding by choosing the times that are considered auspicious and ominous), mentions a system based on seven planets, twelve lunar months and twelve signs. For those who want to learn about the future from the stars, the book tells that each of the seven days of the week is under the influence of a star according to classical teaching and counts these stars: Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

In -folio, pp. (28), 511 (ma 482, mancano le ppp. 429-458, in questa copia sostituite con fogli bianchi), 2 tavole doppie, bella marca editoriale al colophon. Legatura in mezza pelle. Prima edizione molto rara dell’opera completa di Tolomeo tradotta in latino, a cura di Gemuseo (Hieronymus Gemusaeus) e Giorgio di Trebisonda (Trapezuntius): al frontespizio sono elencate le opere con i rispettivi traduttori. La copia è arricchita da due rare tavole doppie, qui perfettamente conservate, incise a legno da Johannes Honter (1498-1549), e che rappresentano le volte celesti figurate, quella Boreale e quella Australe: si tratta di due mappe rarissime, che per la prima volta accompagnano l’opera di Tolomeo, incise dall’umanista ungherese e ispirate a quelle del Dürer, che e presentano due novità assolute: sono le prime mappe a rappresentare le costellazioni in modo geocentrico (cioè viste dalla Terra: quelle di Dürer mostrano una visione dall’esterno), ed è anche il primo caso noto in cui le figure indossano vestiti contemporanei: “These two woodcut maps are noteworthy for both their geocentrism and their novel constellation style. Whereas Dürer’s maps, the first important printed single-sheet maps, showed the stellar universe as from the outside, Honter’s were the first important printed […] showing the stars as seen from earth. Other cartographers who quickly adopted Honter’s point of view were Piccolomini and Postel […] Honter dressed five of the male figures - Auriga, Bootes, Erichtoni, Perseus and Orion - in contemporary fashions, with belted tunics and flamboyant hats” (D. Warner, “The Sky Explored, Celestial Geography, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, 1979, pp. 123-26). Quest’esemplare è purtroppo scompleto, nel testo, delle pagine da 429 a 458. A first rare edition of the complete works of Ptolomaeus traslated into latin. This copy is enriched by the two woodcut plates by Johannes Honter: very rare, it’s the first time these plans accompany a printed text: “These two woodcut maps are noteworthy for both their geocentrism and their novel constellation style. Whereas Dürer’s maps, the first important printed single-sheet maps, showed the stellar universe as from the outside, Honter’s were the first important printed […] showing the stars as seen from earth. Other cartographers who quickly adopted Honter’s point of view were Piccolomini and Postel […] Honter dressed five of the male figures - Auriga, Bootes, Erichtoni, Perseus and Orion - in contemporary fashions, with belted tunics and flamboyant hats” (D. Warner, “The Sky Explored, Celestial Geography, Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, 1979, pp. 123-26). This copy is unfortunately uncomplete in the text part, missing pp. 429-58.
