Bohme a German philosophical mystic who had a profound influence on such later intellectual movements as idealism and Romanticism. Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon. We find no copies currently offered via the major on-line databases OCLC records but 4 institional cc and the work has only appeared at auction 3 times in the last 25 years the last in 1989.

Voyage d’Italie de Dalmatie de Grece et du Levant

1678T5108Very rare first edition of 'one of the most important accounts of travels in the Levant and the first description of Athens which was systematic detailed and trustworthy' Blackmer. 'Spon and Wheler met in Italy in 1675; they travelled together with Francis Vernon to Zakynthos where the two groups separated. Spon and Wheler continued by sea to Constantinople and Vernon travelled overland. The great merit of Spon's work is due to its combination of a careful and knowledgeable interest in classical antiquity with an accurate observation of men manners and topography in modern Greece. The whole of vol. II is devoted to Greece and includes a glossary of Modern Greek words and phrases with instruction on pronunciation. Spon's interest in Greece was longstanding. He had already published Babin's description of Athens which had been communicated to him by the Abbé Pecoil of Lyon with his own notes and preface' ibid..From Venice Spon and Wheler's itinerary took them along the Dalmatian coast and the Ionian islands. They set anchor at Zakynthos and later Cythera visited Delos and eventually reached Istanbul where they visited the French ambassador Charles-François Olier Marquis de Nointel who had already visited Athens and was able to give them valuable information about the city. They also visited Bursa and Thyateira in Asia Minor and stayed in Izmir for some time. On their return journey they crossed over to Patras from Zakynthos visited Delphi travelled to Athens and toured the region of Attica.Jacob Spon 1647–1685 physician archaeologist and collector was the archetypal French 'curieux' like his father before him. He collected medals manuscripts and inscriptions with immense enthusiasm acquiring an entire coin hoard of seven hundred pieces found at Lyons. George Wheler 1652–1724 who published his own account of their travels in 1682 'was a man of many interests and practical skills. As a boy he had amused himself with woodwork constructing a birdcage and a small harpsichord and had taken an interest in plants; the latter he maintained in Oxford by frequent visits to the physic garden … On his travels he displayed keen curiosity and took the opportunity to collect plant specimens … He gave to his Oxford college more than thirty Greek manuscripts acquired mainly in Athens and Constantinople; they included a priceless illuminated typicon the foundation charter of a convent established in Constantinople about 1300. His plant specimens were given to the Oxford Physic Garden. Wheler occupies a significant position in the history of botany since he introduced to Britain some plants hitherto unknown including St John's wort' ODNB.Provenance: John Hay second Marquess of Tweeddale 1645–1713 MP and Lord Chancellor of Scotland in 1704-5 with his bookplates Franks 14192/566.

TWO SIGNIFICANT DUTCH VOYAGES TO THE FAR EAST IN EARLY FRENCH TRANSLATIONS BOUND TOGETHER AS ISSUED

1609WRCAM46859Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two volumes bound in one. Described in greater detail below. Folio. Contemporary boards rebacked in calf spine gilt leather label. Very good. From the Library of the Earls of Macclesfield with engraved 1860 bookplate on front pastedown and blind pressure stamp on first two printed leaves of first title. Two highly important Dutch voyages both in their second French editions and bound together as issued in 1609. These two voyages represent 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. The two foundation accounts in the present volume originally issued together by Amsterdam printer Cornille Nicolas include: 1 Lodewijcksz Willem: PREMIER LIVRE DE L'HISTOIRE DE LA NAVIGATION AUX INDES ORIENTALES PAR LES HOLLANDOIS. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. 53 leaves. Titlepage with engraved map forty-five in-text engravings including three maps seventeen in-text woodcut illustrations and one plate on separate leaf following printed text. Moderate soiling on titlepage slight edge wear to first few leaves. Second French edition following the first French edition of 1598. Lodewijcksz gives an account of the first Dutch expedition to the East Indies under Cornelis Houtman from 1595 to 1597. The information collected by Houtman on the spice trade convinced the Dutch they could compete with Portugal's monopoly in the East Indies and his narrative served to initiate the explosion of Dutch trading at the turn of the century. "Like the English Houtman's men suffered so severely from scurvy that they had to put in at the Cape of Good Hope and at Antongil Bay in Madagascar to recuperate. But they then sailed straight across the Indian Ocean to the Straits of Sunda and dropped anchor at Bantam in Java without the loss of a ship. At this port the center of the Javanese pepper trade a long time was spent. Both natives and Portuguese showed considerable hostility and Houtman and some of his men were imprisoned. However the Dutch succeeded in making a commercial treaty and departed with a good cargo. They proceeded eastward to Bali and then returned along the south coast of Java thereby acquiring a more correct impression of the width of the island than had prevailed and laid the ghost of Java's being the northern part of the Southern Continent.the Dutch skipper had enough to show for his venture to inspire the merchants of Amsterdam with a determination to exploit the trade" - Penrose. 2 Neck Jacob Cornelissoon van: LE SECOND LIVRE IOURNAL OU COMPTOIR CONTENANT LE VRAY DISCOURS ET NARRATION HISTORIQUE. Amsterdam: Cornille Nicolas 1609. Two parts. 228 leaves. Titlepages with engraved illustrations twenty-two in-text engravings including one map two in-text woodcuts. Second French edition following the first French edition of 1601. 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 the text includes references to Brazil and tobacco from the West Indies. The second part of this 1609 French edition an eight-page appendix of words spoken in Java and Malay includes word lists in French printed in roman type Malay in italic type and Javanese in civilitÃƒÂ©. Two of the most important of the pioneering French voyages to the Far East bound together as probably issued in this edition. Lodewijcksz: EUROPEAN AMERICANA 609/71. TIELE-MULLER 115. JCB 3II:63.

Provenance: Samuel Ashton Thompson Yates 1842-1903 bookplate dated 1894.Â Â First Edition of Cats' retelling of the Biblical tale of Queen Vasthi the wife of Ahasuerus who refused her husband's summons to appear before his guests wearing the royal crown and presumably nothing else and who was duly punished. The first part of Cats' word-playing verse adaptation whose title may be translated as The Theater of Manly Respectability is a long speech in the Queen's defense and in defense of all women followed by a speech against her and in favor of "Manly Respectability." The work concludes with the Judgment which is that Vasthi should obey her husband because women's subservience to men is a law of nature. A final poem titled "Aller Princessen Spiegel aller Vrovwen Spoor" is illustrated with an engraving showing the humbled queen wearing a yoke around her neck. The parallels and differences between the Biblical Ahasuerus and Herodotus' tale of King Candaules supplied in Latin and Dutch translations in an appendix whose wife's rebellion was more successful are fully exploited by Cats and by the illustrator Cats' usual partner the painter and engraver Adriaen van de Venne whose brother Jan published the edition.Van de Venne's engravings notably the scene of Candaules' naked wife being surprised by Gyges served as models for a number of Dutch painters. The Van de Venne brothers played a central role in the dissemination of Cats' poetry and it is their joint production that makes the works come alive: "The complete works of Cats together with Van de Venne's illustrations formed a sort of housebook of the Dutch people which remained popular for two centuries."

Van Noort a former innkeeper in Rotterdam sponsored by a group of Dutch merchants accomplished the fourth circumnavigation of the globe after Magellan Drake and Cavendish.

Half the crew mutinied his ships were constantly harassed and most of those that didn't mutiny perished from disease. He returned to Holland "with only one battered ship and eight crew left although some accounts suggest that forty-five crew survived. His voyage contributed little to the geographical knowledge of the time but had some effect in opening the way to the establishment of the Dutch in the East Indies.Van Noort's achievement however captured the imagination of his countrymen and the published accounts sold well the first appearing only eighteen days after his return.
