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.

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.

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.

169617550Amsterdam c1696. 550 by 635mm. 21.75 by 25 inches. Maps""Indiae Orientalis One of only three examples known Engraved map with contemporary hand-colour in full. Rare printing by Jacob de la Feuille 1668-1719 son of Daniel de la Feuille of Nicolas Visscher's 1670 map of Southeast Asia. The map extends to include India Ceylon the Maldives part of China the East Indies the Philippines southern Persia and the northern coast of Australia depicted as """"Hollandia Nova"""". Jacob de Feuille acquired a number of engraved cartographical plates through his marriage in 1696 to Maria de Ram the widow of Johannes de Ram 1648-93 and this map is clearly printed from the same plate as de Ram's map of the same title c1683 with Feuille's name substituted for de Ram's. It is also almost identical to De Wit's 1688 map of the same title. In his imprint de Wit describes the map as """"Editia"""" edited by him whereas both de Ram and Feuille in their imprints attest that the map is """"Auctore"""" authored by them implying that the de Ram / Feuille map precedes de Wit's. De Wit's 'Tabula Indiae Orientalis emendata' of the same area was published in 1662. However Jacob de la Feuille's honour cannot be depended upon. The year following his marriage """"he was already in trouble for he was brought to court accused of having raped his housemaid.
