Bosse a mathematician and geometrician was extremely interested in the work of Girard Desargues and published several works on perspective. The present work was published in 1665. He wanted it to be the definite text on the subject that he taught but he was expelled from the Academy for lack of flexibility before its publication. Most of the 47 pages of the introduction deal with the principal errors that painters can make if they are not aware of the rules of perspective. The 67 plates and their explications deal with the necessary knowledge to apply perspective correctly. And these echo the lessons Bosse gave to his students at the Academy. He also deals with perspective in architecture.</p> chez l'auteur

Silvester Caesius of Aquitaine Son of the Supreme Pontiff; by Abraham Bzowski a Pole Master of Sacred Theology of the Order of Preachers. Appended is the Life of Saint Adalbert the Martyr Published by the Same Silvester Defended by the Same Abraham Bzovius on Behalf of Its Author and Illustrated with Notes. Rome Printed at the Vatican Press 1629. --- together with --- The Life and Passion of Saint Adalbert Count Ursinus of Rosenberg Bishop of Prague Archbishop of Gniezno and Martyr; Apostle of the Bohemians Hungarians Poles and Prussians. Written by His Contemporary and Close Companion Pope Silvester II. Now for the First Time Vindicated on Behalf of Its Author by Abraham Bzowski a Pole Master of Sacred Theology of the Order of Preachers Divided into Chapters and Illustrated with Clearer Notes. Rome From the Press of the Apostolic Chamber 1629. The first and principal work in this volume is an exceedingly rare early modern biography of Pope Sylvester II Gerbert of Aurillac renowned as a mathematician philosopher and the first French pope. Writing in defence of Sylvester's legacy Bzowski refutes longstanding legends of sorcery and presents the pontiff as a model of intellectual virtue and ecclesiastical reform. The work exemplifies Dominican historical scholarship and forms part of Bzowski larger project to continue and expand Cesare Baronio's Annales Ecclesiastici. This book also contains his important Latin biography and scholarly vindication of Saint Adalbert also known as Wojciech a Bohemian nobleman from the Ursini-Rosenberg family bishop of Prague and missionary archbishop of Gniezno. He is one of the earliest and most important Christian evangelists in Central and Eastern Europe revered as the "Apostle of the Bohemians Hungarians Poles and Prussians." The book is an important celebration of Polish history as well as that of Eastern Europe more broadly. Born in Proszowice in 1567 Abraham Bzowski was a precocious scholar mastering Latin and music by the age of ten and studying under French humanists in Secemin. He joined the Dominican Order in Krakow later teaching philosophy and theology in Ferrara and Milan. After serving as prior in Krakow and Wroclaw he was summoned to Rome in 1610 by Pope Paul V and commissioned to continue Cesare Baronio's monumental Annales Ecclesiastici. Bzowski authored nine folio volumes covering 1198-1571 noted for their fidelity to Dominican perspectives though not without criticism. Among his other works are the Quadraginta Sermones super Canticum Salve Regina 1598 the Sacrum Pancarpium 1611 and updated papal biographies including those of Paul V and Gregory XV. His Silvester II Caesius 1629 offered here reflects both his historical scholarship and his interest in Polish and papal history. Bzowski died in Rome on 31 January 1637 having spent his final years in monastic seclusion after a personal tragedy. Size: 191 x 268 mm approx.

1656151129Paris: Chez Augustin Courbe 1656. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 45 522 12 p. 39 cm folio. Engraved frontispiece title page vignette decorations on dedication page and preface. Each chapter has full-page engraving and page top decoration making 12 of each as well as decorated first letters. Illustrations are by painter Claude Vignon engraved by Abraham Bosse. Two called-for portraits by Robert de Nanteuil are not present. Rebound in burgundy leather with 6 raised bands gilt impressing on spine. New endpapers. Title has chipped top corner. Faint dampstain on text block edge. Some small stains and darkened pages. French text. <br/><br/>Note the dedication to the Duke of Longueville. Chapelain received a pension from this nobleman allowing him to write this heroic epic about Joan of Arc. The poem's subject also allowed him to celebrate Jean de Dunois a medieval ancestor of the house of Longueville who was one of the great military leaders of the Hundred Years War. Apparently Chapelain let thirty years go by before he published the first half of this masterpiece leading some to argue that Chapelain wished to spin out his pension as long as he could. <br /> <br />This is one of the first French books engraved by a painter. Claude Vignon 1593 1670 was a French painter printmaker and illustrator who worked in a wide range of genres. Abraham Bosse ca. 1604 1676 was another French artist mainly as a printmaker and etcher. Most of his output was illustrations for books but many were also sold separately. Chez Augustin Courbe hardcover

First published at Rotterdam by Jan van Waesberghe in 1608 the present work is the earliest reaction in print to the presence of Jews and their religion in the Dutch Republic van Rooden. Citing M. Bodian’s Hebrews of the Portuguese Nation R. Po-Chia Hsia describes the cultural context: “Coming initially in the 1590s as Portuguese merchants and Christian converts the so-called ‘New Christians’ Sephardic Jews in fact were welcomed by the Regents of Holland but were strongly opposed by the Reformed clergy. When the conversos reverted to the open practice of Judaism reaction from the Reformed Church was fierce. The predikant Abraham Coster 1575-1620 attacked the Sephardim as an ‘unclean people’ who sought to build a public synagogue ‘in which they can perform their evil and foolish ceremonies and spew forth their gross blasphemies against Christ and his holy gospels as well as their curses against the Christians and Christian authorities’â€. The present edition was later re-issued the following year with identical collation and pagination but designated as “Den 2den druck van nieuws oversienâ€. References: R.

Frontispiece engraving of Cowley's tomb. Front pastedown with the bookplate of Robert S. Pirie. Wing C-6665; ESTC R21164. ◆Spine and head of rear board sunned a bit of wear to joints and extremities boards tending to splay slightly faint scattered dark flecks to leather text with isolated spots and browning but an excellent copy the binding solid and only minimally worn and internally very fresh and clean.<br/> <br/> From a distinguished collection in extremely attractive condition and in a fine contemporaneous binding this is the first appearance of the botanical writings of one of the most precocious poets in the annals of English literature. Cowley 1616-67 was producing poetic works of inexplicable sophistication before he had settled into puberty; he published his first volume of verse at 15 and went on to become one of the most popular poets of his day. A staunch royalist who served in the exiled court of Charles I's queen Henrietta Maria he helped encode and decipher messages sent between the monarchy's supporters including the royal couple themselves. Despite having been arrested and imprisoned as a royalist agent at one point Cowley escaped the Cromwell years largely unscathed and retired to the countryside in 1663. Upon his death Cowley was not only given the extraordinary honor of burial in Westminster Abbey noted by the DNB as "the most lavish funeral which had ever been given to a mere man of letters in England" but was also afforded a privileged spot next to the graves of Spenser and Chaucer. Cowley's influence on contemporary poetry was demonstrably deep; his funerary monument pictured in our frontispiece refers to him as "the English Virgil" and Perkin asserts that his "fame as a poet exceeded even that of Milton" during the waning years of the Restoration. The present copy comes from the collection of Robert S. Pirie 1934-2015 an extremely successful lawyer and investment banker who amassed the finest library of 16th and 17th century English literature in private hands during his lifetime. In 1984 he was elected one of the 40 members of the Roxburghe Club the world's oldest society of bibliophiles. Printed for Charles Harper unknown

Achieving remarkable poetic success in his youth Cowley's life was somewhat interrupted by the tumultuous 1640s. An avowed royalist after his eviction from Trinity College Cambridge he pinned his fortunes to the King's cause. Following the court to Paris after defeat at Marston Moor Cowley served as a secretary and agent to Queen Henrietta Maria's court-in-exile from 1644-54 a position terminated only by his arrest during a mission to England. The first collected edition of Cowley's poetry arranged following his release from Cromwell's custody appeared in 1656 and contained his Mistress Pindarique Odes and epic life of King David Davideis in addition to an extensive selection of miscellaneous early verse. Subsequent printings as here appearing after the Restoration would include his 'A Discourse by way of Vision Concerning the Government of Oliver Cromwell' a meditation spurred by the death of the reviled Protector. .
