Sei omelie di nostro Signore papa Clemente Undecimo Esposte in versi da Alessandro Guidi

17124343Rome: Francesco Gonzaga 1712. Extremely rare first edition of this luxuriously illustrated anthology of extracts from papal sermons delivered between 1703-09 in Latin prose and facing Italian verse: an unusual example of Baroque ecclesiastical culture from the pontificate of Clement XI. On the basis of extreme rarity and contents the volume numbers among those commemorative and honorific volumes which were never sold in the trade but offered as a ceremonial gift to cardinals ambassadors and other important personagescorroborated by the ownership inscription in the present volume by a monsignor during Clements papacy. The volume is singular in our experience for its contents. Latin extracts of Clements sermons generally rather brief are printed on the left side of the page then freely and somewhat copiously versified in Italian by the poet Guidi. The sparsity of the elegantly printed text leaves positively wasteful margins! Each sermon is preceded by a full-page engraving on the subject of the sermon the Holy Family adoring the Christ Child for Christmas the Resurrection for Easter etc. designed by Pietro Leone Ghezzi one of the principal artists in Clements retinue and engraved by Roman engravers generally also associated with Clementine projects Frey van Westerhout etc. The designs were made expressly for the present volume and are echoed as it were in a series of initials and vignettes devoted to the same theme; as such they must have been engraved for the present volume and not simply taken from the printers stock. If somewhat overshadowed by Maratti in his lifetime and by his epoch-making role as the first professional caricaturist Ghezzi 1674-1755 was nonetheless an important painter of religious subjects who worked on Albanis most prestigious public projects. The surfaces of Ghezzis paintings were considerably less finished than those of Maratti and he seems more receptive to Venetian color and unfinishednessthus showing a different aspect of Albani taste. Ghezzi was commissioned in 1712 the year this book was published to paint The Election of St. Fabian for the Albani Chapel in S. Sebastiano fuori le Mura. Within the next decade he helped paint the frescos the ancient basilica of S. Clemente and the nave decoration of St. John Lateran. His portraits including one of Clement XI are unusually informal and realistic possibly due to Ghezzis experience at caricature. Alessandro Guidi 1650-1712 who translated the sermons was a prolific Arcadian poet. OCLC records a single copy Berkeley and we locate no additional American copies.

HAID Johann Jacob 1704 1767 after C. N. EBERLEINABAA

Albertus Haller

173016449Augsburg: Published by Johann Jakob Haid 1730. Mezzotint. Printed on laid paper. In good condition with the exception of some foxing across the margins. Small paper loss in upper left corner of sheet. Image size: 12 1/2 x 7 5/8 inches. A striking scientific portrait of Albrecht von Haller from Johann Jakob Haid's celebrated series of mezzotint portraits. Johan Jakob Haid came from a German family of artists and printmakers. Haid worked initially with the animal painter Johann Elias Ridinger but he soon went on to found a well-known publishing house in Augsburg. He became known primarily for his celebrated series of large mezzotint portraits of illustrious individuals. This attractive portrait of Albertus Haller is a wonderful example of Haid's noted series. As in this fine image all of Haid's portraits are highly decorative; the sitter is always surrounded by a decorative frame and the image rests on an ornate descriptive plaque. This is a lovely impression and a fine example of Haid's accomplished series. As in many scientific portraits Haller is shown holding a book symbolizing his important work as a writer. Albrecht von Haller 1708-1777 was a celebrated Swiss anatomist and physiologist. After pursuing an education in medicine and mathematics Haller devoted himself to the study of botany. He began a collection of plants which formed the basis of his great work on the flora of Switzerland. In 1729 he returned to Bern and began to practice as a physician and was soon appointed the chair of medicine at the University of Gottingen. Commonly called "the Great" Haller was an illustrious scholar and prolific writer. His academic interests included poetry botany biography and medicine and he produced a huge quantity of texts devoted to these diverse subjects. He is best remembered for his twenty volumes of biographies on anatomy botany surgery and medicine and for his revolutionary contributions to the field of physiology. He proved the concept of tissue "irritability" and distinguished between nerve impulse and muscular contraction. Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs.

HUDIBRAS. IN THREE PARTS. WRITTEN IN THE TIME OF THE LATE WARS. CORRECTED AND AMENDED: WITH ADDITIONS. TO WHICH ARE ADDED ANNOTATIONS WITH AN EXACT INDEX TO THE WHOLE. ADORN'D WITH A NEW SET OF CUTS DESIGN'D AND ENGRAV'D BY MR. HOGARTH

1732WRCAM55846London: Printed for D. Midwinter and A. Ward. 1732. 2214197-40016 of 24pp. plus seven plates including frontispiece. Lacks the final four leaves of the index. 12mo. Contemporary calf rebacked with original backstrip laid down. Light shelf wear corners worn. Contemporary bookplate and presentation inscriptions see below. One plate torn lacking the lower left quarter of the sheet repaired with blank paper. One page with early manuscript marginalia. Scattered light foxing. About very good. A remarkable association copy connecting two significant members of the Revolutionary generation who were also united by family intermarriage and whose friendship was riven by their divergent loyalties during the American Revolution. This copy bears the bookplate of Francis Hopkinson 1737-91 signer of the Declaration of Independence author and poet composer judge and Pennsylvania government official. The ANB calls him "arguably the most versatile American of the revolutionary generation." This book was given to Hopkinson by the noted minister Jacob DuchÃƒÂ© who would shortly thereafter marry Hopkinson's sister and who famously broke with the cause of liberty during the Revolution. A front fly leaf bears the presentation inscription "The Present of Mr. Jacob DuchÃƒÂ© Junr. to Francis Hopkinson December 1757." The same hand has signed the titlepage with the names of Jacob DuchÃƒÂ© and Francis Hopkinson and the date 1757. On that page DuchÃƒÂ©'s name has been crossed out indicating that the inscriptions are likely in the hand of DuchÃƒÂ© and that he crossed out his own name on the titlepage when he gave the book to Francis Hopkinson. Jacob DuchÃƒÂ© and Francis Hopkinson had a long and complicated friendship dating back at least to their college days at the College of Philadelphia later the University of Pennsylvania. In 1760 three years after giving him this book DuchÃƒÂ© married Hopkinson's sister Elizabeth. Francis Hopkinson was a prolific author and musician and published forty poems before the Revolution. A copy of HUDIBRAS Samuel Butler's famous satirical poem on English politics would have been a welcome and influential gift. "During the Revolution Hopkinson wrote a number of ballads and essays poking fun at the British cause and the Loyalists. 'The Birds the Beasts and the Bat' written in Hudibrastic verse served to ridicule those persons who tried to take both sides during the Revolution" - ANB. It is impossible not to believe that one of those targets of Hopkinson's ridicule was the gifter of the present edition of HUDIBRAS his brother-in-law Jacob DuchÃƒÂ©. DuchÃƒÂ© 1738- 98 born into a wealthy Philadelphia family was only twenty-two years old when he married Elizabeth Hopkinson. He would go on to become a prominent minister and religious leader in Philadelphia noted for his well- written sermons and essays. In 1774 he was asked to serve as the chaplain to the Continental Congress and he therefore gained political prominence as well displaying an apparent zeal for liberty. DuchÃƒÂ© resigned his official position with the Congress in October 1776 having concluded that the Declaration of Independence - signed just three months earlier by his friend and brother-in-law - would not serve as a tool for reconciliation with England. When the British captured Philadelphia DuchÃƒÂ© was imprisoned by General Howe and came to a permanent change of heart regarding the revolutionary cause. In 1777 he wrote a rash letter to George Washington urging that Washington undo the Declaration of Independence and negotiate a peace. The publication of the letter destroyed DuchÃƒÂ©'s career and "those whose hearts had thrilled to DuchÃƒÂ©'s eloquence now cursed him as a traitor and even Hopkinson wrote him a burning letter of protest" DAB. DuchÃƒÂ© and his family soon exiled themselves to London. The conclusion of the Revolutionary War did not provide DuchÃƒÂ© with an opportunity to return to the United States - anti-Loyalist sentiments were still too raw. It was not until 1792 having by then taken up the tenets of Swedenborgianism that DuchÃƒÂ© and his family finally returned to Philadelphia where he lived the rest of his life. Francis Hopkinson's bookplate was engraved by the noted artist and engraver Henry Dawkins one of the early engravers in the colonies. Dawkins was born in England but came to New York City in 1754. He found work engraving bookplates maps and music in New York and then in Philadelphia before returning again to New York in 1774. He was arrested there in 1776 and charged with counterfeiting paper money apparently not for the first time for which he was jailed. Later that year he petitioned the New York Provincial Congress for release but the record of Dawkins's life ends there and we do not know what became of him. This is a later edition of Samuel Butler's famous epic poem first published in three parts in London beginning in 1663. An edition containing all three parts together was first published in 1684. This edition contains seven engravings by William Hogarth. In the present edition parts two and three have separate titlepages and that of part three bears the imprint "printed for B. Motte. The text is continuous despite the pagination. A remarkable volume - a gift of youthful friendship inspirational to a signer of the Declaration of Independence whose long and close friendship with his brother-in-law would become a casualty of conflicting loyalties during the American Revolution.
