EA der «Gallia Comata» des «topografisch aufgebauten Teils» von Ae. Tschudis Schweizerchronik «zum Zeitabschnitt vor 1000» HLS. Auf Titelblatt mit handschriftlichem Namen von Sigmund Wyttenbach Wittenbach in Tinte wohl Apotheker und Burger zu Bern sowie kleinem Wappenstempel «Bern: von Diesbach». – «Aegidius Tschudi geb. 1505 in Glarus gest. 1572 auf seiner Burg Gräpplang bei Flums war der erste schweizerische Historiker und zugleich auch Politiker.Nach erstem Unterricht in der Lateinschule Huldrych Zwinglis damals Pfarrer von Glarus hielt sich Tschudi 1516–1517 in der Burse Internat von Glarean in Basel auf mit dem er zeitlebens in Briefkontakt stand. Kriegsdienste 1523 in Oberitalien und 1536 als Hauptmann in Südfrankreich blieben Episoden. Seine politische Laufbahn begann Tschudi 1530–1532 als Landvogt von Sargans es folgten 1532–1533 das Amt des fürstäbtischen-sankt-gallischen Obervogts von Rorschach und 1533–1535 sowie 1549–1551 jenes des Landvogts der Grafschaft Baden wo Tschudi in Vindonissa Windisch erstmals mit römischen Altertümern in Berührung kam. Ab 1533 Ratsherr spielte Tschudi auch in der Glarner Politik eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle und amtierte 1554–1558 als Landesstatthalter und 1558–1560 als Landammann wobei er auch als Bauherr tätig war Rathaus und Spital in Glarus. Er vertrat das Land Glarus regelmässig auf eidgenössichen Tagsatzungen daneben wurde er häufig zu Schiedsgerichten oder anderweitig als juristischer Berater und Vermittler beigezogen. 1549 war Tachudi Glarner Gesandter zur Bündnisbeschwörung mit König Heinrich II. von Frankreich 1559 eidgenössicher Gesandter zu Kaiser Ferdinand I. an den Reichstag von Augsburg. Im Glarnerhandel auch Tschudikrieg genannt exponierte sich Tschudi 1559–1560 als führender Vertreter der Altgläubigen mit der Forderung nach militärischer Intervention und Rekatholisierung durch die Innerschweizer Orte. Mit dem Scheitern seiner Pläne zog er sich aus der Tagespolitik zurück und lebte 1562–1565 im Exil in Rapperswil SG. Von dort aus wirkte er während des Konzils von Trient als Berater von Abt Joachim Eichhorn von Einsiedeln und verfasste als Laientheologe Schriften über die Heiligenverehrung und das Fegefeuer. Als Gelehrter ohne Universitätsstudium blieb Tschudi zeitlebens Autodidakt. So unternahm er 1524 eine ausgedehnte Alpenwanderung und 1538 eine Romreise baute sich ab 1527 eine Privatbibliothek auf und begab sich unterstützt von seinem Mitarbeiter Franciscus Cervinus wiederholt auf Archiv- und Bibliotheksreisen durch die Eidgenossenschaft zuletzt 1569 nochmals in die Innerschweiz. Auch seine Amtstätigkeiten nutzte er für die systematische Suche nach historischem Quellenmaterial Urkunden Chroniken Nekrologe Urbare Inschriften Münzen. Den wissenschaftlichen Austausch im Briefverkehr pflegte Tschudi nur phasenweise so mit Niklaus Briefer und Beatus Rhenanus am Oberrhein später mit Zacharias Bletz in Luzern und Johannes Stumpf Heinrich Bullinger und Josias Simmler in Zürich. Dabei blendete er den konfessionellen Gegensatz ausdrücklich aus» HLS Christian Sieber. 010 Druck: Konstanz, Johann Conrad Waibel, 1758 unknown

In "Notatiuncula Constructiones Lineae" Bernoulli proposed a solution to non linear equations which today is one of the most common used solutions of the general fluid. Bernoulli equations are significant because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. In the "Specimen dynamicum" Leibniz presents a conception of body and force which distinct between primitive and derivative forces and between active and passive forces. This article is regarded as being the clearest exposition of Leibniz' dynamics. DSB VII 151b."The first attempt at a detailed account of the dynamics was a long dialogue the "Phoranomus seu de potentia et legibus naturae" written in July 1689 while Leibniz was in Rome. This was quickly followed be the composition of the massive Dynamica de potential et legibus naturae corporeae 1689-90 .

The series was published the following year as I Tokyo 2008.<br /><br />Jacob Aue Sobol was born in Copenhagen Denmark in 1976. His photographs focus on the universality of human emotion and the search for love within often harsh surroundings. He joined Magnum Photos as an associate in 2007 and became a full member in 2012.<br /><br />Besides his native Denmark Aue Sobol has settled for long periods in Canada Greenland Guatemala Japan Thailand and Russia. In 2006 he moved to Tokyo and spent eighteen months making photographs that explore his loneliness and need for connections in the confined reality of the Japanese capital.<br /><br />'Initially I felt invisible. Each day I would walk the streets without anyone making eye-contact with me. Everyone seemed to be heading somewhere it was as if they had no need of communication. Most mornings I would take the Chuo-line from Nakano to Shinjuku and even though the train would be packed with salary-men and school girls in uniform I rarely heard a word being spoken.<br /><br />And so I began taking my pocket camera out with me on the streets and in the parks. Rather than focusing on the impressively tall buildings and the eternal swarm of people I began searching for the narrow paths and the individual human presence in a city that felt both attractive and repulsive at the same time.'<br /> [Tokyo], [self-published], 2007. unknown

1719ABC_48483Amsterdam: David Mortier 1719. Contemporary quarter brown sheepskin sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the title lettered in gold on the spine sprinkled paper sides red sprinkled edges. Royal folio. With a title-page in red and black with an engraved device a portrait of Erasmus in an elaborate cartouche with allegorical figures and 124 engraved architectural and sculptural illustrations on 109 numbered plates 6 double-page 103 full-page. First French edition of Van Campen's famous description of the Amsterdam City Hall the present day Royal Palace with more than a hundred plates of the architectural features and sculptures of the building including ground plans elevations and sections of the interior and exterior. Particularly impressive are the giant plates of the tympana which are more than 160 cm wide when fully unfolded. The work also includes the famous plate of the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal which shows the zodiac signs that were originally painted on the celestial map in the middle but are now no longer visible on the floor itself due to fading.The City Hall is the most famous and last major work by Jacob van Campen 1595-1657 the greatest Dutch architect of the 17th century. He began work on the design in 1640 and though the building opened in 1655 it was not actually completed until 1665. It was called "the eighth wonder of the world" at the time and is still considered the most important Dutch monument from the 17th century. It was designed to show off Amsterdam's wealth and magnificence. This is especially visible in the Burgerzaal the heart of the building which depicts Amsterdam as the centre of the world. The impressive mosaic floor with a celestial map in the centre and the two maps of both hemispheres of the world on either side symbolises that the world was at Amsterdam's feet. These maps are the largest ever made. They show Abel Tasman's then recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century.The present work is the French edition of Van Campen's Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam 1664. The plates were drawn by Hubert Quiellinus 1619-1687 and Danckert Danckertsz. 1634-1666 and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool 17th century and were first published in Quiellinus' Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool 1661. As such most of the present engravings were published before the building was completed and may therefore reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed the spine has been rubbed with loss material old restoration at the head and foot of the spine. The text leaves are lightly browned the plates are very clean.l BAL 132; Berlin Kat. 2235; STCN 182312917 5 copies of which 1 incomplete; cf.

179513033N.p. likely Maryland: January 20 1795. 2pp. with integral leaf addressed and docketed. Old mailing folds minor unobtrusive chipping to edges some old tape repairs some toning. Margins of address leaf reinforced with later sheet. Overall good condition. A document of almost pure irony in which a Maryland militia member who served for the government during the Whiskey Rebellion petitions the governor of Maryland for relief from a fine of 600 pounds of tobacco levied on him and his wife for.selling whiskey without a license. Apparently during the time in which Cable "was drafted to go against the insurgents and during his absence" Cable's wife "sold liquor for the support of her family to wit 3 small children." Upon his return from service and during the January 1795 term of the Baltimore County court Cable "was presented for selling liquors without license and was fined 600 lbs of Toba for said offence." Here Cable asks Governor Stone and the "Home Council" for forgiveness of the fine. <br /> <br /> It worked. According to a note on the verso signed by three "Justices of Baltimore County Court" they found "compassion" for Cable "in remitting the fine imposed as stated in the within Petition." Though the central issue of the Whiskey Rebellion was the 1791 excise tax on whiskey which angered farmers in western Pennsylvania enough to violently resist it it is some level of irony that Cable asks for mercy from the court for selling liquor without a license incurred while he was fighting the farmers resisting the whiskey tax.

One of the best as well as one of the last great color-illustrated ornithologies. Later editions especially the 1903 edition have noticeably inferior quality plates. <br/><br/> Jacob H.
