1694ABC_50174Amsterdam 1694. 8vo 14.4 x 9.1 cm. Jan ten Hoorn Contemporary blind-tooled vellum sewn on 3 supports laced through the joints with the title in brown ink on the head of the spine and sprinkled edges. Ad 1 with an engraved title page erroneously mentioning the year 1693 a small fleur-de-lis woodcut vignette on the title page a woodcut decorated initial and a woodcut tail-piece. Ad 2 with a large woodcut vignette on the title page and three woodcut decorated initials. 2 works in 1 volume. 8 304 7 1 blank 96 pp. Very rare work on medicine in the East and West Indies compiled for the use of naval and tropical surgeons including ships doctors on VOC and WIC ships. Dutch physicians Jacobus Bontius or Jacob de Bondt 1592-1631 and Willem Piso or Gulielmus Piso 1611-1678 are both considered to be the founders of the field of tropical medicine. Bontius worked in the East Indies. His chapters contain the first modern descriptions of cholera beriberi tropical dysentery and yaws. Piso worked in Brazil during the Dutch period 1630-1654. He is known for his research on local medicinal plants including the jaborandi and discovered that Brazilian lemons were particularly effective for treating scurvy. The work is very rare. According to WorldCat it is only present in a few libraries worldwide. We have also not been able to trace any other copies in sales records of the past 100 years.The present work is a Dutch translation of De medica Indorum 1642 by Bontius the first Dutch work on tropical medicine and Historia naturalis Brasiliae 1648 by Piso and Georg Markgraf also known as Georg Marcgrave or Marggraf 1610-1644 which is also considered to be a pioneering work in the field. As the present work was meant as a practical guide for surgeons only the most relevant chapters of the Latin editions have been included.This is the first Dutch edition of Piso's work but the second of Bontius'. Although most reference works do not mention this the Dutch translation of Bontius' work had already been published in 1673 as Oost-Indische warande. As a result the present work is the second edition but it is the first to combine these two pioneering works.The last work in this binding written by VOC physician Johannes Verbrugge 17th century is a catalogue of drugs that physicians should carry on their travels to the East and West Indies and includes a list of diseases that are common on those voyages and their cures. It is a logical addition to the other two works and is rarely found separately.With an ownership inscription on the first flyleaf 4 d Verwilghen Van den bussche and another on the second flyleaf Ch. Verwilghen 1829 probably referring to the Verwilghen family a notable and noble Belgian family originating from the Waasland region. Further with a small wormhole in the upper margin not affecting the text very slight browning and foxing throughout and the upper support is slightly loosened for the quires in the second half of the work.

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 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.
