The Paradisus Animae which has gone through many editions in the original Latin since this 1644 first edition was long a favorite prayer book among Catholics. Several English translations appeared one as early as 1670 as 'Paradise of the Christian Soul.' It was translated into French by Nicolaus Fontane under the title 'Heures Chretiennes Tirnes de l'Ecriture et des Saints Peres.' In addition Horstius authored 'Septem Tubae Orbis Christiani' a compilation from the writings of the fathers intended for young Roman Catholic priests. He also edited a commentary of Estius on the Pauline Letters; the works of St. Bernard in two volumes and the works of Thomas a Kempis with Horstius' commentary. Sumpt.

1602177786The Hague: ex officina Bucoldi Cornelii Nieulandii 1602. A portrait gallery of the Reformation First edition a compendium of 50 attractively engraved portraits of famous Protestant theologians each paired with a detailed biography and a list of their works. The illustrator was Henrick Hondius I 1573-1650 one of the most prominent engravers and cartographers in The Hague. This work is uncommon complete with all 50 portraits copies in commerce often lacking gathering "" comprising 2 leaves with the portrait of Berengarius. Hondius's portrait series sometimes referred to in English as "Celebrated Reformers and Men of the Religion" was first published without text in 1599. The artist then collaborated with Verheiden and the printer Nieulandt to include the portraits in this book. The series features all the major Protestant reformers such as Erasmus Luther Melanchthon Zwingli Calvin Theodore Beza John Knox Peter Martyr and Geronimo Savonarola. "The stylistic variation among the portraits may be due to the range of pictorial sources that Hondius seems to have relied upon for depicting each reformer. The portrait of Melanchton for example derives from the well-known portrait engraving by Durer of 1526. thus the entire series seems to have been engraved by Hondius himself during a period in which his style was in the process of transformation" Orenstein p. 64. Other sources of inspiration were the painter Hans Hasper and the engraver Jacques the Gheyn II. Provenance: Henry Yelverton Viscount of Longueville 1664-1704 with his monogram on the covers. Yelverton matriculated at Christ Church Oxford in 1680 but did not graduate and later supported William of Orange during his invasion in 1688. "Yelverton amassed a substantial library whose extent is not known but many volumes are traceable today in libraries around the world in English Latin Italian and Spanish with imprints from the early 16th century to the late 17th. Yelverton's stamp was often applied to books irrespective of their binding when acquired" Book Owners online. A manuscript index of contents was compiled on the final blank leaf of this copy by a late 17th-century hand perhaps by the viscount himself.

Collation: aleph-vav4 zayin2 = 26 numbered leaves. Full period brown paper boards re-backed with a brown leather spine with raised bands.<br /> <br /> Letterpress title-page with ornate floral woodcut device; additional engraved title-page mounted depicting Moses and Aaron along with six small biblical scenes within round borders all against an architectural background. Engraved folding map at rear mounted; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text.<br /> <br /> This gorgeously illustrated work is the first edition of the famous and highly influential Passover Haggadah printed in Amsterdam in 1695. Simply known as the Amsterdam Haggadah this edition stands as among the most imitated and copied haggadahs in history and was the first to be illustrated with copperplate engravings. Previous illustrated haggadahs had used woodcuts. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge numbers of reprint editions over the centuries. There are 14 finely printed large in-text engravings plus the full page engraved title page showing Moses Aaron and Adam in the Garden of Eden. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder and/or the exodus story while some are other biblical stories less directly related. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Holy Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned underneath with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist Matthäus Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30.<br /> <br /> In addition to the in text engravings there is famously a phenomenal fold-out engraved biblical map of the holy land. Measuring a total of 19.5x11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Sinai desert and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the desert and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. The map is decorated with additional illustrations near the bottom and includes a key. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin.<br /> <br /> Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle of Haggadah which references the both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions.<br /> <br /> This copy with binding in beautiful condition with being professionally restored includining spine re-backed to style.

"This attractive account of a Dutch cabinet of the late seventeenth century is as much a eulogy of Maria de Wilde's gifts as an engraver as of her father's museum" Grinke. The 60 plates by Maria de Wilde 1682-1729 show the ancient Egyptian Greek and Roman statues in the museum including Egyptian figures of Isis Horus etc. some of which are now believed to be Renaissance copies of antique originals. The 6 text leaves include a brief introduction and several laudatory poems directed at Maria de Wilde and her engravings. The collection drew some important visitors including the Russian tsar Peter the Great in 1697. His visit is illustrated on the engraved folding plate where he can be identified by the double-headed eagle at his feet an element of the Russian coat of arms sitting in the museum at a table accompanied by Jacob. After De Wilde's death the collection probably dispersed. The tsar acquired part of it for his "Kunstkamera" the first museum in Russia which was completed in 1727. A catalogue of the gems and coins of the museum was published in 1703 entitled Gemmae selectae antiquae e museo Jacobi de Wilde.<br />From the library of the Dutch professor of civil and notarial law Adriaan Pitlo 1901-1987 and from the collection of Dutch book historian and professor of Dutch literature linguistics and book history Piet J. Buijnsters 1933-2022 and his wife the art historian Leontine M.A. Buijnsters-Smets 1937-2021. A beautiful copy of an art historical work showing a late 17th-century Dutch cabinet with a notable provenance. c.f.

165140032London: John Macock for Giles Calvert 1651. 4to. 7 1/8 x 5 3/8 inches. 8 224 pp. Bound to style in half calf marble paper boards spine with raised bands in six compartments with ruled lines and center tool red lettering piece in second compartment.<br/> <br/> Rare first English edition of Jacob Böhme's a groundbreaking work of Christian mysticism translated by J. Ellistone which reveals the hidden connections between the material and spiritual worlds through its exploration of the signatures imprinted on all of creation.<br/> <br/> At once leatherworker mystic and founder of modern theosophy Böhme published little in his lifetime and what was published brought him endless trouble with the Church. Despite this Böhme had a profound influence on later philosophical movements such as German Idealism and German Romanticism with Hegel describing him as "the first German philosopher". Böhme was born in Alt Seidenberg now in present-day Poland. Deemed too weak for husbandry Böhme was sent to Seidenberg as an apprentice to become a shoemaker. While he lived with a family who was not Christian Böhme regularly prayed and read the Bible and consumed the works of visionaries such as Paracelsus Weigel and Schwenckfeld. After leaving his apprenticeship Böhme travelled as far as Görlitz before returning as a master craftsman to set up his own workshop and started a family. Böhme later joined the "Conventicle of God's Real Servants" - a parochial study group organized by poet and mystic Martin Moller. Since his youth Böhme often had spiritual experiences including one that occurred while he was travelling for business where as he later recalled was "surrounded with a divine light and stood in the highest contemplation and kingdom of joys." This title The Signature of All Things written in High Dutch in 1622 following a series of Böhme's mystic experiences appears here in the first English edition. In it Böhme explains systematically the cosmology that lies at the heart of his whole mystical approach and experience revealing his mystical pantheism and his dialectical conception of God in which good and evil are rooted in one and the same being. The book is a highly symbolic work that deals with the nature of God creation and the relationship between the spiritual and physical worlds. In brief Böhme's thesis can be summarised thus: everything in the material world bears the imprint or "signature" of its spiritual counterpart and that by understanding these signatures one can gain insight into the divine. The present work is the title for which Böhme is most famous and it is invoked by James Joyce in the Proteus episode in Ulysses "Ineluctable modality of the visible." Bohme's ideas had a significant influence on later mystics philosophers and theologians including Goethe Nietzsche and Jung. Signatura Rerum remains a classic work of Christian mysticism and esoteric philosophy and is still studied and debated by scholars and practitioners today.<br/> <br/> Wing B3419; Bach "Jacob Boehme" in Protestants and Mysticism in Reformation Europe; Hartman The Life and the Doctrines of Jacob Boehme the God-Taught Philosopher.

1678733Ingolstodt: Joannis Philippi Zink 1678. Hardcover. Fair. Three poetical works of early 17th century Jesuit poets bound into one binding with beautiful silver decorations covering the front and rear board. About the Literary Works - Three works are bound within: 1. 1672 De Cultu B. V. Mariae Elegiarum in three books not ""book three"" as it is often catalogued; all three ""libri"" are found within the printing by Antoine Deslions. 2. No title page bound in starts at A1 page 1 - Epigrammatum Selectrorum by Bernard Bauhuis 3. 1672 Silvulae Hendecasyllarborum by Jacob Bidermann About the Binding - No maker's mark is readily visible. The book was published in Ingolstadt where the silversmith family of Kienlin see book bindings attributed to Johann Adam Kienlin plied their trade. It was common for bindings of this time to have a silver spine but I see no hinges which indicate one might have been removed and the leather of the spine was decorated. Still a silver spine may have been removed and the board edges cut of their hinges. but removing the hinges seems unlikely. This book was sold in the 1924 Sotheby Sale of the Library of Dr. E Marion Cox. Bibliographic Details - All three works are printed by Joannis Philippi Zinck in Ingelstadt. The first and third work have a printing date of 1672; presumptively the middle work would also have been printed in 1672 the title page is not bound-in but Worldcat doesn't have record of a 1672 edition. The Deslions work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 836616102 among others. The Bauhuis work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 1088278417 with a printing date of 1678. The Bidermann work is catalogued in Worldcat as OCLC 78071635 among others. Physical Attributes - Measures approx. 13 x 8 x 3 cm. Leather binding with blind tooling. Over the front and rear board silver covers have been added; these are likely repousse hammered from the back side and are decorated in the French rococo style each with a proud central medallion. The front medallion is a woman holding a goblet and books the rear medallion is a woman holding her baby and guiding her child. The covers have been turned-in just like a leather binding. The silver clasps work and one clasp depicts a putti holding a spade and the other a lute. The endpapers are dutch-gilt the front one is missing the flyleaf and the rear endpaper shows a wonderful depiction of a lute player in gilt. Three works bound into one binding. The second work is missing its title page and any prefatory printed material it begins at page 1 signed A1. Pages - vi 106 128 title page vi 128 The third work seems like it might not have had a leaf bound-in; the first gathering is fifteen leaves instead of 16 but the catchwords match and nothing seems missing so it was likely a blank the binder chose not to include. Condition - See pictures. Silver tarnished with some bumps around the edges. Leather binding under is dried out. The spine is crazed and chipped from the head and tail; there is evidence of glue repair along the front and rear leather joint. There is a little rubbing noticeable on the leather under the silver covering the boards. Front flyleaf missing. Blank bookbinder endpaper mounted instead; some numbers written on it and the remnants of an auction ticket presumably. Text block has some toning throughout with occasional fox spots page edge bumps etc. A few pages seem slightly proud. The index at the back of the Deslions work insn't included. Also the title page and any intros are not bound in for the Bauhuis it starts on page 1. I see a very occasional annotation. Blank endpaper at rear has notes on which poems apply to different life situations. Rear flyleaf has a white mark at bottom and the fore-edge is a little rough; also several small holes which may be from binding. Joannis Philippi Zink
