1694ABC_50174Amsterdam 1694. 8vo 14.4 x 9.1 cm. Jan ten Hoorn Contemporary blind-tooled vellum sewn on 3 supports laced through the joints with the title in brown ink on the head of the spine and sprinkled edges. Ad 1 with an engraved title page erroneously mentioning the year 1693 a small fleur-de-lis woodcut vignette on the title page a woodcut decorated initial and a woodcut tail-piece. Ad 2 with a large woodcut vignette on the title page and three woodcut decorated initials. 2 works in 1 volume. 8 304 7 1 blank 96 pp. Very rare work on medicine in the East and West Indies compiled for the use of naval and tropical surgeons including ships doctors on VOC and WIC ships. Dutch physicians Jacobus Bontius or Jacob de Bondt 1592-1631 and Willem Piso or Gulielmus Piso 1611-1678 are both considered to be the founders of the field of tropical medicine. Bontius worked in the East Indies. His chapters contain the first modern descriptions of cholera beriberi tropical dysentery and yaws. Piso worked in Brazil during the Dutch period 1630-1654. He is known for his research on local medicinal plants including the jaborandi and discovered that Brazilian lemons were particularly effective for treating scurvy. The work is very rare. According to WorldCat it is only present in a few libraries worldwide. We have also not been able to trace any other copies in sales records of the past 100 years.The present work is a Dutch translation of De medica Indorum 1642 by Bontius the first Dutch work on tropical medicine and Historia naturalis Brasiliae 1648 by Piso and Georg Markgraf also known as Georg Marcgrave or Marggraf 1610-1644 which is also considered to be a pioneering work in the field. As the present work was meant as a practical guide for surgeons only the most relevant chapters of the Latin editions have been included.This is the first Dutch edition of Piso's work but the second of Bontius'. Although most reference works do not mention this the Dutch translation of Bontius' work had already been published in 1673 as Oost-Indische warande. As a result the present work is the second edition but it is the first to combine these two pioneering works.The last work in this binding written by VOC physician Johannes Verbrugge 17th century is a catalogue of drugs that physicians should carry on their travels to the East and West Indies and includes a list of diseases that are common on those voyages and their cures. It is a logical addition to the other two works and is rarely found separately.With an ownership inscription on the first flyleaf 4 d Verwilghen Van den bussche and another on the second flyleaf Ch. Verwilghen 1829 probably referring to the Verwilghen family a notable and noble Belgian family originating from the Waasland region. Further with a small wormhole in the upper margin not affecting the text very slight browning and foxing throughout and the upper support is slightly loosened for the quires in the second half of the work.

Negotiating Conflict and Controversy in the Early Modern Book World Brill pp. 163–177. <br> Johann Jacob served in the army of Maurice Price of Orange and fought in the Eighty Years' War in the Netherlands. He later served as an offer in Danzig and in Hungary and Russia. In 1616 he was appointed by Count John VII of Nassau-Siegen to head up the newly established Kriegsschule the first military academy in the world. The outbreak of the 30 Years War in Germany prematurely caused the school to close. Jacob was one of the most important German military writers before the 30 years war.

16525476Antwerp 1652. 4to 18 x 14.5 cm. Jan Huyssens Later 17th-century mottled calf sewn on 4 double cords gold-tooled spine and board edges. With a double-page letterpress title-page with a frame built up from typographic ornaments and 39 unnumbered double-page engraved maps of the northern and southern Low Countries by Jacob Aertsz. Colom each map coloured in outline. Interleaved with 38 blank leaves and with a manuscript table of contents 3 3 blank pp. at the end. Double-page title-page and 39 double-page maps. Second known copy of a pocket-atlas published at Antwerp but containing a selection of the maps of the Low Countries originally published by Jacob Aertsz. Colom at Amsterdam in 1635 with the title De Vyerighe Colom the title Colom had first used for his famous pilot guide in 1632 and the name he had given to his Amsterdam printing office where he worked from 1622 to his death in 1673 as a bookseller printer and mapmaker. The only other copy known is at the Royal Library in Brussels. The Vyerighe Colom with 47 maps and 3 plates and with extensive text in Dutch and French went through several editions in the 17th century but it was once thought that all editions before his death in 1673 had been published at Amsterdam by Colom himself. The Royal Library copy like the present one contains 39 maps but each contains one map not in the other so there are forty in total: the present copy includes Drentiae not in the Royal Library copy which includes Le terres entre la Meuse Vahal et Rhin not present here. The maps are also bound in a different order.The present edition is of great interest and gives cause to review Colom's activities. It is printed from Coloms plates so Colom may have licenced the Antwerp publisher to produce a variant edition of his Vyerighe Colom to broaden his market possibly reacting to the signing of the Peace of Münster in 1648 which finally ended the Eighty Years War and opened trade and communication between the northern and southern Low Countries. Jan Huyssens made an entirely new and practical atlas out of Colom's Vyerighe Colom. He omitted all text and the three plates that do not show maps and selected only maps of general interest leaving out the map of the ancient Low Countries and such typical Dutch maps as the separate maps of the polders De Zype Beemster Wormer Purmer Byllemermeer and Waterland also - at least in the present copy - completely rearranging the maps more in order of their geographical sequence. The title suggests that Huyssens originally planned to include a text so the present extremely rare edition may be the only surviving result of an abandoned project.l Koeman & Van der Krogt 365.23 IIIB pp. 644-645 2 copies: the present & Royal Library Brussels; UniCat 99095764 Royal Library Brussels only; cf.

167599PCHI08WBVRMiddelburg 1675. Small folio 28.5 x 18.5 cm. Willem Goeree Early sheepskin parchment over paperboards. With both title-pages printed in red and black about 150 woodcut diagrams in the text including a wide variety of sundials a woodcut headpiece with the Zeeland coat of arms plus 2 repeats and woodcut decorated initials. 2 works in 1 volume. 1 1 blank 2 108 3 1 blank; 1 1 blank 54 2 pp. Re-issues by Willem Goeree in Middelburg of the first editions of Jacob Mogge's extensively illustrated general introduction to the making and use of sundials and of his extensively illustrated translation of Lansberge's further account of various sorts of sundials on flat surfaces. Mogge's own work was first published by Zacharias Roman in Middelburg as Inleydinge der Sonne-Wijsers in 1666. Roman had published the first edition of Lansberge's posthumous Latin work on planar sundials Horologiographia plana in 1663 and Mogge translated it into Dutch and expanded it for publication together with his own work in matching format and style in 1666. Roman apparently died in or soon after 1667 however and Goeree must have acquired the remaining stock of these two books having cancel title-pages printed to re-issue them in 1675. They therefore still include the colophons of the 1666 editions at the end. Mogge opens his work with a general introduction to geometry and astronomy followed by a description of sundials on a flat surfaces and on the surface of the earth. Jacob Mogge ca. 1613-1669 was a surveyor and map draughtsman active in Zeeland from ca. 1649 to ca. 1666 describing himself as surveyor to the water district Vrije van Sluis. Lansberge 1561-1632 worked as physician and pastor in Middelburg Zeeland but devoted his last years to writing and publishing several important works on astronomy.With a faded manuscript inscription on the title-page in blue pencil. The binding is soiled and shows clear signs of wear the bottom half of the spine has been restored. A previous owner's inscription has been torn from the head of the title-page which has been restored but slightly affecting the "M" in the title. The edges of the leaves are somewhat browned slight browning throughout with some occasional light water stains some occasional minor marginal tears.

1741WRCAM37910Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by Andrew Bradford 1741. 32pp. 12mo. Printed self-wrappers stitched. Contemporary ink inscription "Jacob Taylor" in upper margin of titlepage; contemporary ink correction on p.27. Cellophane tape joining signature at spine occasional minor foxing. Else bright clean and very good. In a half morocco and cloth box. An almanac by Jacob Taylor who published his important Pennsylvania almanac for the years 1700 to 1746. It is a distinct possibility that the present copy was owned and signed by Taylor as his inscribed name on the titlepage is accompanied later in the volume by a manuscript correction to a poem "manumated" becomes "manumitted". Taylor took the poetry in his almanacs seriously printing excerpts of PARADISE LOST in 1741 and composing well-received verse of his own. In addition to the calendar this 1746 almanac contains a substantial amount of poetry; lists of courts fairs and Quaker meetings; and a discussion of Hannibal's oath before the gods. This he concludes with a quote from the 1739 almanac of "R. Saunders" Benjamin Franklin's Poor Richard on the dangers of false wit and pride in the present age commenting favorably on Saunders "By wicked Wit the Truth is often drown'd; Here certain Truth adorn'd with Wit is found" p.23. <br> <br> Taylor's almanac was printed by different Philadelphia printers over time.

18072114<p><b>Rage against missions: a landmark anti-colonialist treatise</b></p><p>Haarlem Joh. Enschedé en Zoonen & J. van Walré 1807.<br /></p><p>4°. 4 X 2 27 1 blank 296 pp. With two engraved medallions on the first title-page.</p><p>First edition of a landmark Dutch anti-colonialist and anti-missionary treatise. This controversial and heavily criticized work marks a shift in thinking about the Western influence around the world. It is a rare work and here in excellent. Only a few copies are recorded in libraries outside The Netherlands.At the end of November 1803 the Teyler's Religious Society in Haarlem organized a competition. A treatise was to be prepared on the question "What service have missionaries done to the propagation of true Christianity in the past two centuries and what fruit is there been to expected from the present active missionary societies in this regard". On November 30 1804 Haafner's manuscript of 195 pages arrived. This turned out to be the only entry making it inevitable to crown him the prize winner.He was born in Halle in Germany in 1754 came to Amsterdam with his parents in 1765 and left with his father in 1766 for the East Indies. Shortly before arriving in Cape Town Haafner's father died and the twelve-year-old boy was left alone. He was taken into foster care. In 1770 he returned to Amsterdam but the following year he left for Batavia. Via Dutch India he ended up in the British Indies. He spent years on the Coromandel Coast in eastern India traveled in India and Sri Lanka and returned to the Netherlands in 1787. He made bad investments and lost all his money which is why he tried to earn some money as a translator later also as a publicist. His first travelogue appeared in 1806 the present award-winning treatise on missions in 1807 and he died in 1809. After his death his son published many of his father's works with success.Haafner had seen missionaries at work with his own eyes in the Cape Colony in Indonesia and in India. His judgment on missions is damning. He recognized that mission implies cultural destruction and is an illicit interference with other religious beliefs. In his treatise Haafner treats various population groups per chapter. In the first chapter of his essay he deals with missions among the Hottentots. During his years in the Cape Colony he'd gotten to know these people and even had a relationship with a Hottentot girl. He qualified the mission to the Hottentots as a hopeless task. But Haafner not only scathingly judged what he saw with his own eyes of missionary zeal and missionary crime. In his second chapter he writes about the black slaves in the Americas. He vigorously rages against slavery against the capture of slaves in Africa and against the transfer of them to the Americas. In the third chapter Haafner deals with the mission to the Indians in North America and the fourth chapter on the mission among the Hindus in India.His style and eloquence make him the best Dutch writer on this subject before Multatuli and as a polemicist in many ways ahead of him that. This treatise is still a pleasure to read and relevant today. Later editions appeared in 1823 same publisher and 1993 edited by Jaap de Moor and Paul Van de Velde. Haafner's creed is as follows:"I see all people of whatever colour nation and religion as my fellow humans and brothers; whomever thinks the same will not be offended but indeed be pleased that I defend and intercede the innocent and oppressed Indians and seek to load their tyrants with shame".</p><p>Condition: repair in blank page very minor spotting on a couple pages otherwise an excellent wholly untrimmed copy.</p><p>Reference: P. van de Velde Wie onder palmen leeft.

8039Leidae & Gottingae =Leiden and Gottingen: Eliam Luzac 1755. First edition. A touch of light foxing to the title page and to the margins of a few other pages; a bright and clean copy in near fine condition in a very attractive binding. Pp. i-iv 1-72; 2 monochrome foldout copper-plate engravings by Jan Wandelaar unsigned. One-half red morocco leather over marbled boards sm 4to 20 cm width x 26.7 cm height bound by Fritz and Trudi of Philadelphia in 1976. This is Klein's best-known work to herpetologists because in it he was the first to use the word for their discipline herpetology specifically Herpeta in the nominative case on page 1 and herpetologiae in the objective case on page 1 and the title page. However his taxonomic reference to this word was far different than the use of the word today. For instance the animals making up the Herpeta included are legless animals such as earthworms tapeworms and leeches in addition to snakes. Left out are the four-legged frogs toads lizards. There is only one reptile illustrated in this book on plate 1. However it is not a snake but instead a two-legged lizard-like animal possessing large hind limbs. Klein had not seen this specimen and simply cited the authority of Hiob Ludolf 1624-1704 a German orientalist. Starting in 1999 this image was incorporated into the official logo of the International Society for the History and Bibliography of Herpetology. The author's preface was dated February 5 1752 so there likely a delay in printing the book. As an addendum pages 67-72 Klein included an essay on tapeworms by Johann August Unzer a German physician who trained in Halle and practiced medicine in Hamburg modified after notes by Kraig Adler. This addition fits the theme of Klein's concept of the Herpeta. See also Agassiz 1853 3: 366 9; BMNH 2: 992; Engelmann 1846: 428; Nissen ZBI: 227 2210 and Zool. Soc. London 1902: 336. This volume is very scarce; it seldom comes up for sale. Old small oval stamp with the following initials "T. L. B.M.P." on the title page.
