Contemporary 19th-century modest half-grained cloth binding spine faded marbled paper boards with surface abrasions yellow endpapers and pastedowns marbled edges. Sole edition uncommon of this vindication by Jacob Spon 1647-1685 concerning his major travel account of the Levant Voyage d'Italie de Dalmatie de Grèce et du Levant fait aux années 1675 & 1676 published in 1678. Georges Guillet de Saint-Georges 1624 or 1625-1705 had a little earlier 1675 produced a description of the contemporary state of the city and monuments of Athens which Spon disputed in his own narrative even going so far as to question whether Guillet had ever travelled in Greece at all.

169555736Amsterdam: Be-veit ha-meshutafim Asher Anshil ben Eliezer ve-Yisakhar Ber ben Avraham Eliezer/ Moses Wiesel 1695. First edition. Hardcover. g to near fine. Small folio 30 by 18.8 cm. 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. Book block tight. Interior with some staining to pages throughout from use. Binding in very good to near fine inteiror in good condition overall.

The Dutch tax collector Jacob de Wilde 1645-1721 began the collection containing gems coins scientific instruments and statues. "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.

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

16875601Basel: Mechel 1687. First edition. First edition exceptionally rare of this dissertation which Bernoulli 1655-1705 submitted in order to secure the chair of mathematics at the University of Basel. This was the beginning of a remarkable career in mathematics in which he "greatly advanced algebra the infinitesimal calculus the calculus of variations mechanics the theory of series and the theory of probability and was one of the most significant promoters of the formal methods of higher analysis" DSB. EXCEPTIONALLY RARE DISSERTATION BY JACOB BERNOULLI. <p>First edition exceptionally rare of this dissertation which Bernoulli 1655-1705 submitted in order to secure the chair of mathematics at the University of Basel. This was the beginning of a remarkable career in mathematics in which he "greatly advanced algebra the infinitesimal calculus the calculus of variations mechanics the theory of series and the theory of probability and was one of the most significant promoters of the formal methods of higher analysis" DSB. The dissertation 'The solution of a triplet of problems arithmetical geometrical and astronomical together with corollaries from general mathematics' treats three elementary problems in number theory one arising from arithmetic one from geometry and one from astronomy/navigation. "Jacob Bernoulli's research on elementary mathematics taken as a whole constitutes a work of no mean importance very diverse in content lacking organic unity to be sure but also of exceptional historic interest. Indeed only from very few of the mathematicians who have left a lasting mark do we have the documentation which allows us to examine carefully the process of their scientific education . However in contrast from Jacob Bernoulli we actually possess some 'exercises' that he wrote beginning during the early years of his education. This is how we might characterize some of his Meditationes which he worked on with great diligence and singular ability. The interest of these exercises lies not only in their relationship to the general state of mathematics of the time but also and perhaps more in the way in which they represent an almost complete psychological picture of the formation of a great mathematician - which he certainly was - toward the end of the XVIIth century" Werke 2 p. 15. These Meditationes remained unpublished until the twentieth century except for the three published with much additional detail in the present pamphlet. On the last page of the dissertation is a list of 'Corollaries' one of which concerns the values of expectations in a lottery and is of particular interest in view of Bernoulli's posthumously-published Ars conjectandi 1713 the founding work of mathematical probability. "The academic dissertation Solutionem tergemini problematis arithmetici geometrici et astronomici which was presented at the University of Basel 4.2.1687 secured him the desired teaching post. Therefore this paper has particular biographical interest" ibid. p. 18.

Jacob was born in this city on December27th 1654 according to the old calendar in a protestant family of spice traders who had fled theSpanish low lands after the fall of the Duke of Alba. Complying with the wish of his father NicolasBernoulli a state adviser and magistrate Jacob studied philosophy and then theology until 1676. Aswas common at the time he chose a motto. His came from Phaeton who drew the solar carriageInvito patre sidera verso which may be translated by 'Despite my father I am among thestars'. Rather than exaggerated modesty this motto was a proud affirmation of superiority.</p> <br /> <p>"The young Jacob fully benefited from what Daniel Roche calls 'culture de la mobilité' promoted in the second half of the XVII century by new institutions which facilitated the movement of individuals and the spread of knowledge. Starting in August 1676 he traveled by horse to Geneva where he remained for twenty months preaching instructing a blind young girl Elisabeth von Waldkirch and serving as an opponent during the theological disputations. He relates his experience teaching mathematics to the blind in an article published in the Journal des Savants in 1685. This article is probably a reaction to an account by Spon published in the same journal in 1680 in which the author attributes to the father of the blind girl the writing system that was in fact developed by Jacob. It is here that Jacob meets Nicolas Fatio de Duillier a life long friend who recalled in a letter dating from July 22nd 1700 that he had seen Jacob play court tennis in Geneva a game on which Jacob later wrote a famous letter . </p> <br /> <p>"In June 1678 Jacob continues his extensive traveling in France residing in the Limousin in Nède with the marquis de Lostanges where he constructs two sundials in the castle courtyard then in Bordeaux and a few weeks in Paris. During this journey he begins in 1677 to write his mathematical journal Meditationes annotationes animadversiones theologicae et philosophicae which contains 236 articles . The journal is a precious testimony from this early phase of Jacob's scientific training which only really began when he encountered the Cartesian environment initially in France later mainly in the Netherlands Amsterdam and Leiden and in England during a second journey April 1681- October 1682. In August 1682 Jacob attended a meeting of the Royal Society in London. Jacob started out by acquainting himself with the Cartesian philosophy of nature after which he turned to geometry .</p> <br /> <p>"After his return to Basel in 1682 Jacob gave up the idea of a career in the clergy and decided to devote himself to mathematics. At the University of Basel he gave courses in experimental physics as can be gathered by a pamphlet printed in Basel in 1686. From 1682 on he also submitted short articles to the Journal des Savants - reactions to the works of others that he presented or criticized - initially in the area of natural philosophy machines for breathing under water to elevate water to weigh air oscillation center then from 1685 in mathematics .</p> <br /> <p>"Jacob slowly acquired a knowledge of mathematics at first through his readings of the second Latin edition of Descartes' Géométrie 1659-61 later that of Arnauld and his Logique Malebranche and Prestet . Jacob is confronted with precise problems often stemming from the area of applied mathematics. Solving these leads him to discover general methods. He begins by a thorough study of previous works which will serve him as a springboard to make further headway and produce new results. On several occasions Jacob voices the opinion that it is necessary to base one's own progress on the knowledge of what has been done in the past. Accordingly in the memoir entitled Solutionem tergemini problematis arithmetici geometrici et astronomici offered here presented on February 4th 1687 in order to obtain the mathematics chair in Basel he describes his own way of proceeding in the following way: 'In reality he who embraces a career as a mathematician is not the one who copies the inventions of others remembers them and recites them on occasion but the one who is truly innovative and is able to invent by using the divine algebra and thus to revolutionize what has been studied by others'" Peiffer.</p> <br /> <p>"Like other graduates of the University of Basel in the seventeenth century Bernoulli had a broad if not deep knowledge of all the disciplines of the liberal arts - an education he would draw on in writing Ars conjectandi 1713. The university at this time had a small faculty of philosophy including only nine chairs in logic rhetoric eloquence Greek mathematics physics history ethics and Hebrew. So although he had only an elementary education in mathematics as an undergraduate Bernoulli had a knowledge of Greek logic rhetoric and other subjects and was able to write polished Latin.</p> <br /> <p>"It was not uncommon at this time for a man to take a university post in a less desirable discipline if the chair he would have preferred was not available. He would then move if the opportunity arose to the preferred discipline without having to do everything required of a new applicant for a university position such as paying to print lists of theses to be defended in a disputation . The lists of theses that Jacob Bernoulli proposed to defend publicly in the years after his return to Basel in October 1682 reflect this list of open positions. Thus in January 1684 of the 100 theses that Bernoulli proposed to defend 34 were logical and 18 oratorical . Again in September 1685 and in February 1686 Bernoulli's theses were heavily logical. Finally after the death of the professor of mathematics in 1686 Bernoulli applied for disputed and won the chair" Sylla pp. 6-7.</p> <br /> <p>The first of the three problems treated by Bernoulli in his Solutionem tergemini problematis is: 'to find without the aid of algebra with the help of numerical arithmetic alone a number such that if we divide it into the numbers 12 and 36 and then add 8 to each of these numbers the resulting sums are in the ratio of 3 to 5.' The problem is generalized to arbitrary sets of given numbers.</p> <br /> <p>The second problem is more challenging. It "calls for the construction of a quadrilateral inscribed in a semi-circle with sides and diagonals of rational lengths in other words commensurable to the radius" Werke 2 p. 18.</p> <br /> <p>The third problem is one which could arise in navigation: 'It is observed somewhere at the sixth hour of the sun that it has an altitude of 12 degrees above the horizon and that one hour and 12 minutes after the moment of this observation the sun sets. The question is at what latitude and at what time of the year was the observation made'</p> <br /> <p>On the last page of text under 'Corollaria' Bernoulli lists some of his other Meditationes - problems dealing with logic physics meteorology geometry referring to Propositions 55-57 of Euclid Book X stereometry mechanics perpetual motion machines dioptrics perspective referring to Bosse and Desargues gnomonics referring to Münster and Sturm ballistics 'ars conjecturandi' probability and figurate numbers giving the very large example 1580972.</p> <br /> <p>The problem on probability "concerned the slowness with which the values of expectations in a lottery increase as more and more blank slips are drawn out of the urn. In an urn containing 16000 slips if it initially cost 7½ to participate 1000 blank slips in a row would have to be drawn out before the person could sell his expectation to someone else for 8" Sylla p. 27.</p> <br /> <p>Peiffer 'Jacob Bernoulli teacher and rival of his brother Johann' Electronic Journal for History of Probability and Statistics 2 2006.

In "Notatiuncula Constructiones Lineae" Bernoulli proposed a solution to non linear equations which today is one of the most common used solutions of the general fluid. Bernoulli equations are significant because they are nonlinear differential equations with known exact solutions. In the "Specimen dynamicum" Leibniz presents a conception of body and force which distinct between primitive and derivative forces and between active and passive forces. This article is regarded as being the clearest exposition of Leibniz' dynamics. DSB VII 151b."The first attempt at a detailed account of the dynamics was a long dialogue the "Phoranomus seu de potentia et legibus naturae" written in July 1689 while Leibniz was in Rome. This was quickly followed be the composition of the massive Dynamica de potential et legibus naturae corporeae 1689-90 .

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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> 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 São Vicente in 1615. Plate 2 depicting the disordered landing of Dutch vessels in São 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 São Paulo are very rare. <br> <br> 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. <br> <br> The SPECULUM ORIENTALIS. was originally published in Dutch the same year as this Latin edition with identical plates.
