A substantial seventeenth-century antiquarian survey: medals bas-reliefs statues mosaics inscriptions and other remains of the ancient world treated in a long sequence of learned dissertations and enriched throughout with engraved material. One of the more attractive productions of early French antiquarian scholarship poised between cabinet culture and the beginnings of archaeology. By Monsieur Spon Jacob Spon Author Bio: Jacob Spon 16471685 was the Lyonnais physician scholar traveller and antiquary whose publications helped shape the early modern study of classical remains. Best known today for his travels in Italy Greece and the Levant Spon brought together the habits of the collector philologist and observer of monuments producing works that stand close to the emergence of archaeology as a more systematic discipline. His antiquarian books were widely consulted by later scholars especially for inscriptions medals and the interpretation of ancient objects preserved in cabinets and collections. Synopsis: This is the first edition of Spons important illustrated antiquarian work a wide-ranging gathering of dissertations on ancient material culture. The book moves across medals sculpture mosaic pavements inscriptions funerary monuments architectural ornaments ritual objects and related survivals of classical antiquity combining close visual attention with learned comparison from texts and collections. As with the best seventeenth-century antiquarian books it is both a record of objects and a demonstration of method: a cabinet of evidence arranged for the curious and the learned reader alike. The engraved title separate plate and typographic presentation give the volume considerable presence while the original binding preserves much of its early character.

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.

167712861Amsterdam: Printed by Jacob and Casparus Loots-man Bookseller upon the Water in the Loots-man 1677. Folio 440 by 280mm engraved title 20 engraved charts numerous woodcut charts and coastal profiles within text seventeenth century speckled calf to style spine in seven compartments separated by raised bands gilt. The Lootsman family a surname adopted by the founder of the firm Anthonie or Theunis Jacobsz are one of the less well-known firms of chart makers and publishers working in Amsterdam specialising in pilot books of European coastal waters but who also published a sea atlas of the world. Their output of charts and chart-books deserves to be better known as much of their work was original rather than the slavish copies some of their better-known rivals produced. Dutch chart publishers dominated the European market and by preparing editions in vernacular languages they were able to achieve wide distribution of their output. Most of the Dutch publishers produced English editions of their atlases and pilots and such was the dominance achieved that the Dutch were effectively able to stifle English competitors such as Joseph Moxon and John Seller. But it was the Lootsmans' misfortune to be overshadowed by the larger established firms or newcomers such as van Keulen and their productions often achieved only limited distribution. For example almost all the English editions published by the Lootsmans are located by Koeman in but a single example. It is interesting to compare Seller's early output with this volume and others like it to see the problems that early English publishers faced breaking the Dutch monopoly. This rare work is the first edition preceding the editions cited by Koeman with the title bearing the joint imprint of the brothers Jacob and Caspar Lootsman; whereas Koeman's earliest edition from 1678 bears the sole imprint of Caspar Lootsman. c.f.

Bookplate on front pastedown. Light soiling and repairs to titlepages; minor soiling otherwise. Very good. Three highly important Dutch voyages all in their second French editions and bound together as issued in 1610. These three voyages represent the initial Dutch exploration and expansion to the East Indies a significant element in a global commercial enterprise which was to develop throughout the 17th century. The foundational accounts in the present volume originally issued together by Amsterdam printer Cornille Nicolas include: <br> <br> 1 Lodewijcksz Willem: PREMIER LIVRE DE L'HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION AUX INDES ORIENTALES PAR LES HOLLANDOIS. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. 53 leaves. Titlepage with engraved map forty-five in-text engravings including three maps seventeen in-text woodcut illustrations and one plate on separate leaf following printed text. Moderate soiling on titlepage slight edge wear to first few leaves. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1598. Lodewijcksz gives an account of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies under Cornelis Houtman from 1595 to 1597. The information collected by Houtman on the spice trade convinced the Dutch they could compete with Portugal's monopoly in the East Indies and his narrative served to initiate the explosion of Dutch trading at the turn of the century. <br> <br> "Like the English Houtman's men suffered so severely from scurvy that they had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope and at Antongil Bay in Madagascar to recuperate. But they then sailed straight across the Indian Ocean to the Straits of Sunda and dropped anchor at Bantam in Java without the loss of a ship. At this port the center of the Javanese pepper trade a long time was spent. Both natives and Portuguese showed considerable hostility and Houtman and some of his men were imprisoned. However the Dutch succeeded in making a commercial treaty and departed with a good cargo. They proceeded eastward to Bali and then returned along the south coast of Java thereby acquiring a more correct impression of the width of the island than had prevailed and laid the ghost of Java's being the northern part of the Southern Continent.the Dutch skipper had enough to show for his venture to inspire the merchants of Amsterdam with a determination to exploit the trade" - Penrose. <br> <br> 2 Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van: LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 224 leaves. Titlepages with engraved illustrations twenty-two in-text engravings including one map two in-text woodcuts. Leaves D2 and D3 lacking provided in facsimile. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601. Van Neck who represented the Verre Company commanded three ships which were part of the first successful Dutch trading voyage to the region. The other two ships were commanded by Wybrand Van Warwijck and Jacob Van Heemskerk. Van Neck's vessel became separated from the other two after rounding the Cape of Good Hope and the three did not reunite again until his arrival in Java in late December 1598. Unlike his Dutch predecessor Cornelis Houtman who three years earlier had seized the port of Bantam Van Neck dealt diplomatically with the natives. "Rather than rejecting the inflated prices asked by the local ruler he offered to pay over the odds in order to cement a lasting relationship.Van Neck's was the most profitable of the pre-VOC Dutch East India Company voyages. Despite the apparently high price paid for spices he netted a profit of 300 per cent on his overall costs. In 1601 fourteen fleets comprising sixty-five ships sailed for the East Indies but by that time competition between rival Dutch operators as well as with the Portuguese had inflated prices and none were as successful as Van Neck's first enterprise" - Howgego. While focused on activity in the East Indies EUROPEAN AMERICANA notes the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay includes word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilité. 3 Noort Olivier van: DESCRIPTION DU PENIBLE VOYAGE FAIT ENTOUR DE L'UNIVERS OV GLOBE TERRESTRE.

Twenty-five in-text engravings including three maps. <br> <br> Second French edition following the first French printing of 1602. Van Noort a former innkeeper in Rotterdam sponsored by a group of Dutch merchants accomplished the fourth circumnavigation of the globe after Magellan Drake and Cavendish. He was the first Dutch explorer to do so making the trip from 1598 to 1601. The voyage was particularly arduous. Half the crew mutinied his ships were constantly harassed and most of those that didn't mutiny perished from disease. He returned to Holland "with only one battered ship and eight crew left although some accounts suggest that forty-five crew survived. His voyage contributed little to the geographical knowledge of the time but had some effect in opening the way to the establishment of the Dutch in the East Indies.Van Noort's achievement however captured the imagination of his countrymen and the published accounts sold well the first appearing only eighteen days after his return. A more complete edition appeared later that year followed by two amended editions in 1602" Howgego. <br> <br> Three of the most important pioneering French voyages to the Far East bound together as issued.
