1662ABC_49406Nuremberg: printed by Wolfgang Eberhard Felssecker and sold by Johann Tauber 1662. Contemporary vellum with the manuscript title and author on the spine modern mint green closing ties red sprinkled edges. Oblong 8vo. With an engraved title page of a ship engaged in a sea battle an engraved portrait of the author and 15 engraved plates. Further with woodcut tailpieces woodcut decorated initials 2 gothic and 1 roman series and headpieces built up from typographic ornaments. Set in fraktur type with incidental schwabacher roman and italic. First edition of Johann Saar's extensive account of his travels from 1644 to 1659 in the Dutch East Indies the Moluccas and Ceylon present-day Sri Lanka. This account with beautiful plates depicting various aspects of the East Indies Ceylon and their cultures including rare eye-witness depictions of native elephant hunting is a great source of information for the 17th-century exploration of the East Indies and especially Ceylon. The first edition is quite rare as we have only been able to trace two other copies in sales records of the past hundred years.Johann Jacob Saar 1625-1664 was a German seaman. After working in the service of the Dutch East Indian army in Bantam Batavia and the Moluccas Saar moved to Ceylon in 1647 which he describes most extensively though he also covers Java Batavia the Banda islands etc. He describes Ceylons trees and fruits wild animals including the hunting of crocodiles depicted in 1 plate. He also gives more cultural-anthropological and historical information such as how the natives treat their sick and dead people how the king of Ceylon wanted peace with the Dutch and he comprehensively describes the local practice of elephant hunting which is beautifully illustrated in three plates. These illustrations like the others underline the diversity of the narrative. He and his crew then sailed from Ceylon to the coast of Goa. He describes how the Portuguese tried to capture a silver-fleet from the Japanese but he also describes a sea battle off the coast of Goa between the Dutch and the Portuguese. On their way home Saar visited and described Cape Town too including Table Mountain depicted in one of the plates. The vellum is somewhat soiled with brown stains on the front and back the ties and flyleaves have recently been replaced. The work is somewhat foxed throughout with annotations in some of the margins. Otherwise in good condition.l Cat.

The book was first published in Dutch in 1665 by Johan's brother Hendrik and the Amsterdam based publisher and printer Jacob van Meurs. The publication was successful several edited editions followed geared towards commercial interests also translated into French German Latin and eventually into English. The English version was not published by Van Meurs but by John Ogilby instead. The book consists of the notes and illustrations that Nieuhof made in his position as a steward on Peter de Goyer and Jacob de Keizer's embassy to the emperor of China. The work itself is split into two parts. The first part contains the written account of the embassy led by Peter de Goyer and Jacob de Keizer to the emperor of China. It details the entire journey from "Guangzhou"Canton to Peking and back again. This part also contains descriptions and depictions of all that the embassy came to pass on its trip. The second part consists of an overview of China describing bridges mountains temples customs and costumes supported by illustrations. Prior to this period the image of the Chinese in Europe was dominated by fantasy illustrations. Many subsequent artists and architects based their work on Nieuhof's pictures. The present copy John Ogilby’s translation and the first Edition in English.

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.
