CATS Jacob 1577 1660ABAA

's Werelts begin midden eynde beslooten in den trou-ring : met den proef-steen van den selven Touchstone of the Wedding Ring

1671D6213Amsterdam: Barent Otto Smient 1671. Hardcover. Very Good. 12mo 155 x 90mm. In two parts separately titled and paginated Lof-Sang op het geestelyk houwelyk van godes soone Laudatory Song on the Spiritual Marriage of the Son of God. 44 544pp. 120pp. 5. Added engraved title page Proef steen van den trou-ringh in addition to the letterpress title to the first work two engraved full-page portraits one of prolific artist and poet Anna Maria van Schurman and one of Jacob Cats and a full-page allegorical engraving Het Derde Deel facing p. 249 in addition to 51 half-page engravings in the text depicting scenes of domestic and married life. Engraved printers device depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. Near contemporary vellum ms. title to spine somewhat effaced; some slight thumbsoiling lightly toned with age; corners bumped. This 1671 edition based on the imprint of Trou-Ringh by Jacob Cats was first published in Dordrecht in 1637. Cats a Dutch Golden Age poet and politician wrote these rhymed dissertations on marriage and fidelity using very different marriage cases from literature in which conjugal ethics emerged. Cats method was to treat human behavior and society in all its aspects through the lens of marriage both human and spiritual ie. the marriage of Christ and His Church. He takes examples from the Bible Adam and Eve David and Abigail etc. and from classical and modern authors Cyrus and Aspasia Marc Anthony and Cleopatra etc. Cats tells of marriages to patriarchs ancient and modern; cases from Israel Persia Egypt from the life of Charles the Great and of the Great Mogul and Spanish gypsies. Also included are discussions of marriage after rape the breaking of marriage bonds adultery and the like. Because marriage dominated all periods and regions of the world all classes all ages with a variety of feelings and soul states this work resonated with the reader although Cats unusual storytelling intended moral and religious teachings. He propagated that marriage with its many possibilities and moral demands which it always must fulfill totally belong together: as do the ring and the stone. Cats was a distinguished Dutch writer but his Orangist and Calvinistic opinions set him apart from the liberal school of Amsterdam poets. Still for nearly two centuries he enjoyed enormous popularity. Wonderfully preserved important work on 17th century societal structures the many engravings are delightful and captivating.

SANDRART Jacob von 1630 1708 engraved by Johann Baptist HOMMAN 1663 1724ABAA

Africa Accuratissima Totius Africae Tabula in Lucem Producia Per Tacobum de Sandrart Norimbergae

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. 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

This edition of Herrera includes the first publication of Jacques Le Maire's journal of one of the greatest early Pacific voyages and circumnavigations that of Le Maire and Schouten in 1615 and 1616. Le Maire's journal which occupies pp. 107-174 of this book describes the voyage of trade and discovery launched by one of the most aggressive of Netherlands traders in this era of Dutch expansion. The expedition sailed around Cape Horn explored the Pacific coast of South America and pursued the search for Terra Australis. Inspired in part by Quiros and motivated by Dutch trading zeal this was the essential precursor to Tasman's voyage; indeed Tasman made great use of Le Maire's mapping of the ocean. The Le Maire voyage the last of the seventeenth century expeditions to search for the unknown continent from the east was responsible for extensive discoveries in the Pacific recorded in excellent detail on the numerous maps published here. These include maps of Le Maire's Pacific route and of New Guinea the latter definitely establishing it to be an island. There are also five engraved views showing the expedition in Patagonia a Polynesian sailing canoe the anchorage at Cocos Island natives at Cocos and the isle of Hoorn. The first section of this work is the first French and second edition overall of a portion of Antonio de Herrera's Historia General first published in Madrid in 1601. This is one of the classic descriptions of the Spanish conquests in the New World with important maps of the West Indies the Americas the coasts of Central and South America the interior of Mexico Terra Firme and the west coast of South America including some of the most important maps relating to the Pacific made to the time. The third section of this volume consists of brief accounts of other voyages into the Pacific and the account of Pedro de Cevallos of the Spanish possessions in the New World. Two issues of this French translation were printed in Amsterdam in 1622. This copy has the first imprint recorded by Wagner.

This edition of Boehm's writings in translation marks an important chapter in the English reception of Boehm's writings. A German mystic and self-taught theologian he believed that humanity had fallen from a state of divine grace to its present state of sin and suffering that the forces of evil included fallen angels who had rebelled against God. On these points he is consistent with Lutheran Theology. Boehme believed however that the fall from grace was a necessary stage in the evolution of the universe. It was necessary for humanity to depart from God in order initiate an evolution toward a new state of redeemed harmony that would be more perfect than the original state of innocence. God would thus achieve a new self-awareness by interacting with a creation that was both part of and distinct from Himself. English Short-Title Catalogue R21858. unknown books

LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE.

1609WRCAM38891Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves second part with its own titlepage. Folio. Modern three-quarter morocco and marbled boards spine gilt. A few leaves with worm tracks expertly repaired. Very good. Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601 of this important voyages narrative describing 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. 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 that the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies.

Oblong quarto. Contemporary Dutch vellum. Old stains and soiling to boards manuscript "33" in ink on spine edges rubbed boards slightly bowed. Modern bookplate on front pastedown. Minor toning and foxing tiny reinforcement at mounting stub on verso of each large folding map some offsetting. Overall very good. In a blue cloth box gilt leather label. Scarce first Latin edition of one of the bestsellers of illustrated 17th-century travel literature which reports Le Maire's critical DISCOVERY OF TIERRA DEL FUEGO an alternate route to the Pacific and also recounts the Pacific pillaging of the veteran East Indies sailor-turned-pirate Joris van Spilbergen. In addition the work includes valuable early information on ports along the Pacific coast of the Americas and is also of interest for the 17th-century Dutch presence in Brazil. Rich in ethnographic detail the numerous illustrations in the SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. include images of oversized penguins llamas and an Andean condor with a nine-foot wing span. Naval battles beleaguered Spanish settlements and newly discovered islands are also depicted in detail making this a valuable compendium of adventure on the high seas during the Age of Discovery. In 1614 the VOC commissioned Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas with nearly 700 men. Despite the ostensible commercial nature of his expedition Spilbergen's six vessels were heavily armed anticipating encounters with silver-laden Spanish vessels. Spilbergen spent two years calling at various Spanish and Portuguese ports along both coasts of South America failing to capture any great amounts of silver or silk from Manila but burning several settlements and emerging triumphant from a naval skirmish just south of Lima. By contrast Le Maire's less mercenary expedition resulted in important discoveries; his exploration of Tierra del Fuego and the Tuamotou Archipelago called into doubt the existence of a massive southern continent providing a catalyst for Tasman's discovery of New Zealand and Australia. The two expeditions crossed paths in the Dutch East Indies in 1616. Spilbergen's fleet of six ships was fitted out and armed to combat the Spanish colonies attacking Spanish settlements and shipping along their route. They sailed to Brazil then through the Straits of Magellan and north along the coast of America as far as California. After sailing east to the Philippines they went on to Batavia in search of a Spanish fleet reportedly planning to attack Dutch settlements in the Moluccas but they never found a fleet. On his arrival at Batavia Spilbergen encountered Le Maire and Schouten whose voyage for the newly-formed Compagnie Australe had embarked in 1615 a year after Spilbergen's. Le Maire and Schouten traveled via the newly-discovered Le Maire Strait but on their arrival at Batavia they were arrested for breaching the monopoly granted to the Dutch East India Company of the Strait of Magellan. Spilbergen took Le Maire Schouten and their crews on board and escorted them back to the Netherlands virtually as prisoners. Le Maire grew ill and died en route. This work is remarkable as an early document on Dutch navigation to the Brazilian coasts. Its great value lies in Spilbergen's detailed account of their stay in the Ilha Grande from October 1614 to January 1615 and in SÃƒÂ£o Vicente in 1615. Plate 2 depicting the disordered landing of Dutch vessels in SÃƒÂ£o Vicente clearly documents the way of life of the indigenous peoples under Portuguese occupancy. Colonial religious structures appear alongside typical Native American hammocks and traditional Brazilian costumes and methods of animal husbandry are evident. This illustration with its explanatory text is particularly important as 17th-century ethnographic documents about the future SÃƒÂ£o Paulo are very rare. One of the large folding maps remains important for illustrating Le Maire and Schouten's route across the Pacific. Other maps show the Straits of Magellan and Manila the Moluccas and various ports on the Pacific coast of America. The SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. was originally published in Dutch the same year as this Latin edition with identical plates. Translations in other languages followed rapidly: German in 1620 Frankfurt and French in 1621 Amsterdam.

Later Arnheim edition of Jacobus Typotiuss influential collection of emblems detailing parts of sacred ritual in the Latin West church. Typotiuss Symbola Divina et Humana was first published in Prague in three volumes from 1601 to 1603. An extant manuscript of the Symbola Divina et Humana dates to about 1590 and it is known that several copies were made and circulated through the court of Prague. Typotius a Flemish humanist scholar was court historian to Emperor Rudolf II. While his name takes precedence on the title page Typotius was possibly just one of four men responsible for this work. The designs were compiled by Ottavio Strada antiquarian to Emperor Rudolf III and were reproduced by the engraver Aegidius Sadeler. Typotius wrote the Latin commentaries on the impresa except in the fourth book which was the work of Anselm Boethius de Boodt physician to the same emperor. The imprese in Typotiuss work covers a vast array of subjects including the Santa Eucharista Holy Eucharist the Santa Crucis Holy Cross popes kings emperors and rulers of various nations princes clergy and cardinals. Some notable figures represented in imprese include French kings Philip I and Louis VII Henry VIII of England and his queens Anne Boleyn and Anne of Cleves James VI of Scotland Philip II of Spain and unsurprisingly Rudolf II of Bohemia. The work was highly popular in its time and was frequently reprinted in both Germany and in the Netherlands. Praz p. 518; Landwehr 799; Cicognara 1964. Johann Fridericus Hagius hardcover books
