He wrote several important historical works such as the history of Denmark of the Duchy of Gelre and of Amsterdam. His work on Amsterdam far exceeds the limits of the usual town descriptions elaborately incorporating the history of the voyages of exploration and commerce undertaken by the enterprising citizens of Amsterdam. Pontanus also describes in detail the activities on the Amsterdam stock and commodity markets which were among the earliest of the world and at the time the most important. The extent of the citys trading activities by this time is shown by illustrations of scenes from Indonesia and India to the Arctic.The binding is somewhat stained and soiled with a restoration at the foot of the spine and along the fore and foot edge of the back board. The work is lightly browned and foxed throughout a faint water stain in the margin of the last 11 leaves. Otherwise in good condition.l Alden & Landis II 611/91; V.

1700151722ca. 1700-1708. Autograph manuscript fragment on the Newton family lineage. England undated. A single leaf bearing autograph text in the hand of Sir Isaac Newton on both sides. 2.25 x 0.75 inches approx. 5.7 x 1.9 cm. Transcription recto: "Of the older family I am . whom I take to be my . of William Newton baptized 1541 whom ." Transcription verso: "for had by a . was next heir at law . infants and to that purpose . of her daughter with his ." A working genealogical note in Newton's hand evidently drawn from a longer document in which he traces a line of descent through one William Newton baptized 1541. The verso references questions of heirship and minor children suggesting the fragment formed part of Newton's private inquiry into the legal and lineal standing of the Newton family. Newton's documented genealogy situates him within the rural gentry of early modern England. He was born at Woolsthorpe Manor Lincolnshire to Isaac Newton a yeoman farmer who died before his son's birth and Hannah Ayscough daughter of a local clergyman. The paternal line can be traced to his grandfather Robert Newton also of Woolsthorpe indicating a family of modest landholding status. The maternal Ayscough line connected Newton to the educated clerical class a milieu that may have shaped his early intellectual formation. The present fragment though brief offers direct testimony of Newton's own engagement with the question of his ancestry and joins the small body of surviving manuscript material in which he records personal and familial concerns rather than scientific or theological matters. Condition: In good condition; minor wear consistent with age. The fragment has been archivally encapsulated by PSA/DNA together with a portrait of Newton and the corresponding authentication with the verso of the autograph remaining visible for examination. Authentication: PSA/DNA. Sir Isaac Newton 1642–1727 widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history established the foundational principles of classical mechanics in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica wherein he articulated the three laws of motion and formulated the law of universal gravitation including the inverse-square relationship governing gravitational force. In addition to these achievements Newton independently developed the mathematical framework of calculus providing essential tools for the advancement of physics and mathematics. His extensive investigations into light and optics grounded in original experimentation significantly advanced contemporary understanding of the nature of light and color. Rejecting the long-standing authority of Aristotelian philosophy Newton instead championed an empirical experiment-based approach to scientific inquiry thereby helping to define the methodological foundations of modern science. unknown

1698149618January 25 1698-1699. Rare vellum manuscript signed by Sir Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint in which he makes a case against his nemesis coin counterfeiter William Chaloner soon to be hanged for high treason. One page vellum manuscript document signed by Isaac Newton  “Is. Newton†January 25 1698-1699. Recognizance bond issued by Isaac Newton as Warden of the Royal Mint to ensure the future appearance of Nathaniel Peck as a witness against Newton’s nemesis the counterfeiter William Chaloner. The document reads in part "Nathanl Peck de Black Fryars London…Thos Worley de St Sepulchres London Glover…Symon Cross de east Aurifaber…Upon Condition the said Peck do personally appear at the next Genll Sessions of the peace …in St John str for the County aforesaid Then and there to answer…objected agt him touching his packing away Counterfeit money for advantage." Appointed as Warden of the Mint in 1696 upon the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer Isaac Newton ascended to the role of Master of the Mint the following year—a position he would retain for the remainder of his life. Prioritizing his duties at the Mint over his academic commitments he relinquished his responsibilities at Cambridge in 1701 to devote himself fully to the office. As Master Newton spearheaded significant currency reforms and pursued counterfeiters with unwavering diligence wielding the full force of the law as exemplified by the fate of William Chaloner. On the very day Newton signed this bond he received a formal statement from Nathaniel Peck who attested that seven years prior Chaloner had commissioned him to modify two iron pieces which were subsequently used to produce counterfeit French pistoles. Additionally Peck admitted to purchasing counterfeit pistoles from Chaloner at a rate of eight shillings per coin and reselling them for eleven shillings. Some months later Chaloner provided Peck with forged guineas which he likewise circulated before Chaloner turned to Thomas Holloway as his preferred distributor. By early 1699 Newton had compiled a formidable body of evidence against Chaloner consisting of 44 depositions. Chaloner had been apprehended in November 1698 on charges of forging lottery tickets though those specific allegations were ultimately dismissed. Nevertheless Newton proceeded to indict him on three separate counts securing a conviction for high treason on March 3 1699. Mere weeks later on March 22 Chaloner met his end at the gallows of Tyburn. In good condition fold at center scattered toning. Archivally mounted matted and framed with a portrait of Newton. The document measures 12.25 inches by 3 inches. The entire piece measures 23.5 inches by 23 inches. Signed documents by Newton are exceptionally rare. Isaac Newton 1643–1727 was an English mathematician physicist and astronomer widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists in history. His groundbreaking work Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica 1687 laid the foundation for classical mechanics introducing the laws of motion and universal gravitation. However beyond his scientific achievements Newton played a crucial role in England’s financial and legal system. In 1696 he was appointed Warden of the Royal Mint largely due to the recommendation of Charles Montagu Chancellor of the Exchequer. A few years later in 1699 he became Master of the Mint a position he held until his death. Newton took his role seriously overseeing the recoinage of England’s currency implementing measures to stabilize the economy and aggressively pursuing counterfeiters. His meticulous investigations led to the conviction of notorious forgers like William Chaloner demonstrating his unwavering commitment to upholding the integrity of England’s monetary system. hardcover

Cover in fair book in good condition. freely translated: Rabbi Moses Maimonides' volountary sacrifice: An approach to Abarbanel's introduction and commentary on Leviticus and Maimonides' Tractate on the consecrated calendar and the rational calendar change R. Moses Maimonides Rambam was a 12th century Jewish philosopher and halachic legal scholar. A highly controversial figure both during his lifetime and after his death but generally acknowledged as the preeminent Jewish thinker of the Middle Ages. He was born in Córdoba Spain but fled as a child from the Almohad persecution. He eventually settled in Egypt where he served as a rabbi physician and philosopher. His fourteen-volume Mishneh Torah his only work not in Arabic still carries canonical authority particularly within the Yemenite Jewish community as the codification of Talmudic law. His other work includes a commentary on the Mishnah entitled Kitab al-Siraj Kitab al-Fara'I a book on precepts and the philosophical work Dalalat al-Ha'irin known in Hebrew as the Moreh Nevukhim The Guide to the Perplexed. The major premise is an attempted philosophical/theological reconciliation of the Hebrew Bible and Greek knowledge. This work came to play a central role in all subsequent major controversies over philosophy within the Jewish community during the Middle Ages.
