167512522Nuremburg: J. von Sandart 1675. Copper engraving with early colour. Printed on laid paper. Title in manuscript ink on verso of sheet. Cleveland Historical Society collection stamp on verso of sheet. Numerous tears and creases in outside margins which have been expertly repaired. Center fold has been strengthened. An early map of Africa by the great mapmaker Jacob von Sandrart engraved by Homann.<br/> <br/>Sandrart's stunning map of Africa is a close copy of Fredrik de Wit's map 'Nova Africa Descriptio' published in 1660. With the prime meridian running through Ferro Island the map is typical of late seventeenth century maps of Africa. Like other maps of the period Sandrart has included a highly decorative and informative cartouche in the lower left corner of the sheet. Homann's continental cartouches aspired to convey the natural history as well as the costume and manner of life of the human inhabitants. Here while a woman peacefully nurses her baby in a hammock a native chief stares out at the viewer from under the shade of a large umbrella. On the right side of the vignette two riders on horseback one with a cutlass and one with a decaptitated head ride by a river where one man is attacking another with his sword. Among the humans are a lion a snake a reptile of some sort and another fox-like animal. Although the map repeats De Wit's decorations it relies on Ptolemy for its description of the Nile basin. It is to some degree remarkable that seventeenth century maps of the interior of Africa were filled with geographical features and named locations since there had been very little European exploration of the interior at this date. European trade took place at specific locations along the coast and almost nothing was known about the interior of the dark continent except through rumor. This is a fascinating map by Sandrart and one of only two maps engraved by Homann before 1690. Born at Frankfurt-on-Main Jacob von Sandrart was one of the most esteemed mapmakers in Nuremberg at the close of the seventeenth century. He learned his trade from his uncle Joachim von Sandrart and from Cornelius Danckerts. As with this impressive map all of Sandrart's charts are filled with a wealth of decorative details and highly ornate cartouches. J. von Sandart unknown books

About the author: "David Paul Drach aka Paul-Louis-Bernard Drach after his conversion 1791-1865 was a Catholic convert from Judaism and librarian of the College of Propaganda in Rome. Drach received his early education from his father who was a rabbi. After spending some time in various Talmudic schools he became a teacher at Rappoltsweiler though only sixteen years of age. The love of the secular sciences brought him to Paris where he was welcomed by his coreligionists and became tutor in a wealthy Jewish family. His reputation as a teacher brought him Christian pupils; and this may have had some influence on his subsequent conversion; in fact he had always manifested some leaning toward Christianity. Drach had already begun the study of Greek and Latin so as to become acquainted with the Christian doctrines in their original sources. Struck by the accusation of some of the Fathers that the Jews had corrupted the Hebrew text he began a comparative study of the Hebrew and the Septuagint which study he continued in spite of the remonstrances of the president of the Central Consistory. Drach was received into the Catholic faith in 1823 together with his two daughters and his son Paul who afterward became a priest and a distinguished Biblical scholar. In 1827 Drach accepted the position of librarian of the Propaganda in Rome which position he held until the year of his death." From the Jewish Encyclopedia. Fortunato Stella e Figli hardcover

Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon.

3476Signed `J Van Huysum' lower right. Pencil and watercolour crowned shield with fleur-de-lys watermark. A fine image of two stems the longer topped by a mass of small white flowers the second much shorter showing the black berries.<br/> <br/> Jacob van Huysum was born in Amsterdam in about 1687 a member of a renowned family of professional flower painters who enjoyed considerable success in Holland. His father was Justus van Huysum 1659-1716 and his brother Jan van Huysum 1682-1749. Jacob painted in much the same manner as his brother and as with his brother's work many of his drawings betray the temperament of an artist rather than that of a botanical illustrator. His 'work especially in England has often been mistaken for his brother's. Van Huysum came to England about 1721 in which year he was living in the house of a patron Mr. Lockyear of the South Sea House. Subsequently he was patronised by Sir Robert Walpole who received him as an intimate of his house at Chelsea and employed him to paint flowerpieces. for the decoration of the great house at Houghton in Norfolk' DNB . He also provided the majority of the drawings for the 50 illustrations to John Martyn's Historia Plantarum Rariorum London: 1728-38 as well all the drawings to another work Catalogus Plantarum. A catalogue of trees shrubs plants and flowers London: 1730. The present drawing shows the painterly approach where the artist whilst not sacrificing botanical accuracy tries to capture the essence of his subject. His work offers a contrast to the more strictly scientific approach of Georg Dionysius Ehret his younger contemporary and sometime colleague.<br/> <br/> Cf. Henrey II p.213. unknown

60783Trompe l'oeil of a wall on which a print and some paper are hanging.The print is a portrait of Gerardus Kulenkamp 1700-1789 born in Bremen preacher in Nieuw-Loosdrecht Delft and Amsterdam.The painter copied with some modification a portrait drawn by Jan Maurits Quinkhard 1688-1772 and engraved by Jacob Houbraken 1698-1780. In fact the original portrait shows the preacher in half-length with both arms visible whereas in the drawing Kulenkamp is portrayed in an oval frame. An inscriptions runs on the top half of this very frame: 'GERARDUS KULENKAMP Bremensi Aetat XXXIX. V.D.M. Amstelodamensis'. The print is attached to the wooden board with two sealing waxes. The painted print shows some damage along the margins and in order to enhance the live effect Hoffham has marked in light grey also the plate mark especially on the left margin.The portrait is signed on the bottom right: 'H: Hoffham Junior. Fecit 1750.'. Hoffham as already mentioned was inspired by the print by Houbraken. From the same print comes in fact the text reported on the piece of paper on the right only partially visible. The text was composed by Cornelius de Cuyper 1707-1786 as reported on the bottom line. Not known is the source of the text on the left for the most part concealed by the piece of paper in the middle. On this one reads: 'OP DE AFBEELDINGE / Van den Eerwaarde en Geleerde Heer / GERARDUS KULENKAMP. / getrouw en veel geacht Predikant tot Amst: / De groote KULENKAMP dat Licht die wakk're Held! / Die Flonker Ster der Kerk in de YStadt; die Zich steld / Met onverschrokten Moed het dwaal Rot te bestryden; / Die den Amechteling aan Christus toe gaat wyden / Staat kunstig hier verbeeld door HOFFHAMS Phenix Pen / Wie is't die KULENKAMP niet voor een Wonder ken.s / Comp.
