Text in Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish. 5 19 ll.<br /> Scarce edition of Sephardic Haggadah printed in London with parallel text in Hebrew and Spanish.<br /><br />The illustrative plates in these Haggadot after the London Haggadah of 1806 were printed separately on unnumbered leaves and their number varies between different copies missing completely in some. Yudlov lists it with 7 illustrations and 5 maps while Yerushalmi lists it with 3 maps and 'various engravings on separate sheets'.<br /><br />'This the only Spanish translation of the Haggadah to be printed in London is also an example of the survival into the nineteenth century of the Spanish language among the Sephardic Jews of England.' Yerushalmi 85. Although based on the earlier London Haggadah of 1806 also printed by Levi Alexander this augmented edition included several innovations and a Haroset recipe on the last page.<br /><br />This Haggadah was dedicated to Don Aaron Cardozo 17621834 a Jewish merchant of Sephardic origin a British patriot and one of the foremost citizens of Gibraltar of his time. He was consul for the Beys of Tunis and Algiers and was one of the principal landowners of Gibraltar cf. Jewish Encyclopedia vol. 3 p. 575; Enc. Judaica vol. 5 col. 163. In 1798 Cardozo was instrumental in uncovering the conspiracy to betray the fortress to the French Cardozo was publicly thanked for his services before a parade of the garrison. During the Napoleonic Wars Cardozo supplied Gibraltar with water and provisions and before the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 he undertook a similar mission on behalf of Lord Nelson.<br /> Vinograd London 197; Yudlov 544; Yaari 381; Yerushalmi 85; Harvard 24:19.

169617550Amsterdam c1696. 550 by 635mm. 21.75 by 25 inches. Maps""Indiae Orientalis One of only three examples known Engraved map with contemporary hand-colour in full. Rare printing by Jacob de la Feuille 1668-1719 son of Daniel de la Feuille of Nicolas Visscher's 1670 map of Southeast Asia. The map extends to include India Ceylon the Maldives part of China the East Indies the Philippines southern Persia and the northern coast of Australia depicted as """"Hollandia Nova"""". Jacob de Feuille acquired a number of engraved cartographical plates through his marriage in 1696 to Maria de Ram the widow of Johannes de Ram 1648-93 and this map is clearly printed from the same plate as de Ram's map of the same title c1683 with Feuille's name substituted for de Ram's. It is also almost identical to De Wit's 1688 map of the same title. In his imprint de Wit describes the map as """"Editia"""" edited by him whereas both de Ram and Feuille in their imprints attest that the map is """"Auctore"""" authored by them implying that the de Ram / Feuille map precedes de Wit's. De Wit's 'Tabula Indiae Orientalis emendata' of the same area was published in 1662. However Jacob de la Feuille's honour cannot be depended upon. The year following his marriage """"he was already in trouble for he was brought to court accused of having raped his housemaid. A notary act of 1711 registers the complaint of his wife that he left her five years earlier in a poor state and that his present whereabouts were unknown"""" Burden 577.

1602177786The Hague: ex officina Bucoldi Cornelii Nieulandii 1602. A portrait gallery of the Reformation First edition a compendium of 50 attractively engraved portraits of famous Protestant theologians each paired with a detailed biography and a list of their works. The illustrator was Henrick Hondius I 1573-1650 one of the most prominent engravers and cartographers in The Hague. This work is uncommon complete with all 50 portraits copies in commerce often lacking gathering "" comprising 2 leaves with the portrait of Berengarius. Hondius's portrait series sometimes referred to in English as "Celebrated Reformers and Men of the Religion" was first published without text in 1599. The artist then collaborated with Verheiden and the printer Nieulandt to include the portraits in this book. The series features all the major Protestant reformers such as Erasmus Luther Melanchthon Zwingli Calvin Theodore Beza John Knox Peter Martyr and Geronimo Savonarola. "The stylistic variation among the portraits may be due to the range of pictorial sources that Hondius seems to have relied upon for depicting each reformer. The portrait of Melanchton for example derives from the well-known portrait engraving by Durer of 1526. thus the entire series seems to have been engraved by Hondius himself during a period in which his style was in the process of transformation" Orenstein p. 64. Other sources of inspiration were the painter Hans Hasper and the engraver Jacques the Gheyn II. Provenance: Henry Yelverton Viscount of Longueville 1664-1704 with his monogram on the covers. Yelverton matriculated at Christ Church Oxford in 1680 but did not graduate and later supported William of Orange during his invasion in 1688. "Yelverton amassed a substantial library whose extent is not known but many volumes are traceable today in libraries around the world in English Latin Italian and Spanish with imprints from the early 16th century to the late 17th. Yelverton's stamp was often applied to books irrespective of their binding when acquired" Book Owners online. A manuscript index of contents was compiled on the final blank leaf of this copy by a late 17th-century hand perhaps by the viscount himself.
