Compiled by Isaac Commelin 1598-1676 a prominent Amsterdam bookbinder and scholar the collection is also celebrated for its extensive corpus of maps and plates carefully copied either from the original editions or the navigators own manuscript charts.The work was originally published by Johannes Janssonius in Amsterdam under the title Oorsprongh ende Voortgangh der Nederlantsche Oost-Indische Compagnie.

Title page shaved at foot without loss leaf A4 shaved at foot with loss of catchword scattered spotting. The sole edition of a detailed account of the 'gross abuses' meted out to Quakers in Newgate Gaol Bristol by Isaac Dennis his Wife and Servants and the Cruelty they acted toward these poor Men in the west-house'. Quaker persecution in Bristol as with elsewhere in England continued in the decades after the Restoration with legislation such as the Conventicle Act designed to supress nonconformist worship and reimpose Anglican uniformity. But the election of the high Tory John Knight d. 1718 as Sheriff in September 1681 led to a significant increase in the number of Quakers imprisoned there. The persecution that the Friends received in gaol which are fully evidenced and witnessed in this tract included denying visits the confiscation of worked goods brutal treatment and graphic threats of death and violence.

First Edition. <br /><br />An anonymous Dutch edition of Philosophia appeared in 1667 and new Latin editions in 1673 and 1674. Evidence for the staying power of the work and the controversies which surrounded it is found in <br /> the fact that it underwent a fourth edition long after Meyer's death in 1776. <br /><br />Rare Quarto edition which preceded the 12mo of the same year. <br /><br />La Peyrere is considered to be the father of Biblical criticism. He asserted in Praeadamitae that there were human beings before Adam. His approach to Biblical scholarship argued that the Bible was just the story of the Jewish people not all of humanity. His book and heretical views were quickly banned. La Peyrere was eventually arrested but offered a half-hearted renunciation of his views to escape punishment. La Peyrere went on to engage in polemics with Richard Simon famous defender of the Bible. A rare and important book in the Radical Enlightenment identified as one of the wicked books of the late 17th century. .the wicked sedition which commenced with La Peyreres Prae-Adamitae gained impetus with the utterly licentious dissipated dictionary of Koerbagh that shameless book the Philosophai S. Scripturae and Hobbes Leviathan and culminated in the Tractatus- Theologico-Politicus and Ethics of Spinoza Israel 367. <br /><br />CONDITION: Very Good in slightly soiled contemporary vellum over boards. Contemporary handwriting on titlepage. Dampstaining in corner of first pages causing ruff edges. Small repair in corner title. Some slight dampstaining in corner map. First edition.

169555736Amsterdam: Be-veit ha-meshutafim Asher Anshil ben Eliezer ve-Yisakhar Ber ben Avraham Eliezer/ Moses Wiesel 1695. First edition. Hardcover. g to near fine. Small folio 30 by 18.8 cm. Collation: aleph-vav4 zayin2 = 26 numbered leaves. Full period brown paper boards re-backed with a brown leather spine with raised bands.<br /> <br /> Letterpress title-page with ornate floral woodcut device; additional engraved title-page mounted depicting Moses and Aaron along with six small biblical scenes within round borders all against an architectural background. Engraved folding map at rear mounted; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text.<br /> <br /> This gorgeously illustrated work is the first edition of the famous and highly influential Passover Haggadah printed in Amsterdam in 1695. Simply known as the Amsterdam Haggadah this edition stands as among the most imitated and copied haggadahs in history and was the first to be illustrated with copperplate engravings. Previous illustrated haggadahs had used woodcuts. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge numbers of reprint editions over the centuries. There are 14 finely printed large in-text engravings plus the full page engraved title page showing Moses Aaron and Adam in the Garden of Eden. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder and/or the exodus story while some are other biblical stories less directly related. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Holy Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned underneath with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist Matthäus Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30.<br /> <br /> In addition to the in text engravings there is famously a phenomenal fold-out engraved biblical map of the holy land. Measuring a total of 19.5x11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Sinai desert and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the desert and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. The map is decorated with additional illustrations near the bottom and includes a key. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin.<br /> <br /> Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle of Haggadah which references the both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions.<br /> <br /> This copy with binding in beautiful condition with being professionally restored includining spine re-backed to style. Book block tight. Interior with some staining to pages throughout from use. Binding in very good to near fine inteiror in good condition overall.
