Early ownership signature on front pastedown. Early 18th-century lengthy manuscript commentary referencing passages on Brahmins from a work by Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo 1616-1644. Contemporary vellum<br/> <br/> First German Edition of one of the earliest European accounts of Hinduism in Southern India by a missionary who worked in Palicatta Coromandel for ten years from 1630 enlarged by supplementary accounts of Asian African and American religions not included in the Dutch and French editions.<br/> <br/> Abraham Roger was a Dutch missionary and linguist who spent a significant portion of his career working in India under the Dutch East India Company VOC. He was stationed in Pulicat a trading hub on the Coromandel Coast of South India where he worked among the Tamil speaking population. His experiences as a missionary coupled with his interest in local culture prompted him to document Hindu religious practices and beliefs culminating in this notable work. First published in Dutch in 1651 and translated into German in 1663 it is one of the earliest and most significant works by a European exploring Hinduism in South India. Roger's approach was distinct in its attempt to understand and accurately portray Hinduism a religion he sought to comprehend despite his missionary objectives. His work stands out for its translations of Hindu hymns and descriptions of temple rituals and he drew much of his knowledge from his close collaboration with local Brahmins reflecting a relatively objective tone compared to other European writings of the period. Despite his Eurocentric and missionary perspective Roger was unique in that he did not entirely dismiss Hinduism but rather engaged with it to create one of the earliest detailed European accounts of the religion.<br/> <br/> Sabin 72603; JCB III p. 92; Ackermann V 1273; Landwehr VOC 65.

1663I1TG729PBDLDAntwerp: Marcelis Parijs 1663. Later boards covered with decorated paper. 8vo. Third edition of a handbook on the plague by Eduardus Putman enlarged and improved by Abraham Lenertsz Vrolingh. The first edition was published in 1603 in Amsterdam a second in 1646 in Zaandam. The present edition was most likely designed so that it could also be bound with Der matroosen ghesontheyd an account of scurvy by Vrolingh. In the preface Vrolingh states that by joining the two works both sailor and soldier would benefit from the knowledge.Putmans manuael seeks the cause of the plague in astrology holding Mercury responsible for the illness in the whole body and other planets for specific regions of the body such as behind the ears Saturn and the moon in the armpits Mars and the sun and in the groins Venus and Jupiter. It also discusses the influence of the four elements: water fire earth and air. Other subjects covered are the plague in pregnant women and a description of various symptoms such as headache heart palpitations thirst fever and diarrhoea followed by suggested treatments selected from experience. Most of the medicines pills and powders are made from plants and herbs such as nettle rhubarb rosemary and camomile. With the bookplate of Van der Hoeven.

From the collection of Charles Philippe Robin 1821-1885 French doctor anatomist and politician bibliographical note at foot of title. Other early inscriptions to title referring to the engraver M. LeClerc and on rear pastedown to the state of the engravings. <br/><br/>First Edition and second publication dealing with the comparative anatomy of the animals the chameleon the beaver the camel the bear and the gazelle. Perrault scientist and naturalist was the leader of a team of comparative anatomists called the Parisians that included Guichard-Joseph Duverney Jean Pecquet Moyse Charas and Philippe de la Hire. Their investigations began in June 1667 with a thresher shark and lion from the royal academy and went on to encompass forty-nine vertebrate species. The detailed reports and exact descriptions on these dissections were the first of a long series of anatomical descriptions which ultimately included those of twenty-five species of mammals seventeen birds five reptiles one amphibian and one fish. Perrault and the team of Parisians prided themselves on several discoveries and in the process debunked many popular myths attached to certain species such as the legend that salamanders live in fire or that chameleons subsist on air. The scientists also recorded how they obtained their results providing a glimpse of how such anatomical research was conducted in the seventeenth century. The work is illustrated beautifully with five large folding plates by the expert painter engraver and writer Sebastian Leclerc 1637-1714 four of which were engraved by Leclerc and one by the watercolor painter writer and printmaker Abraham Bosse c. 1604-1676. Very fine work; the large folding plates remain fresh and intact. No such detailed and exact descriptions and illustrations had been published before. It is hard to measure another such important addition to the anatomical study of animals. Frederic Leonard hardcover books
1659ABC_47611Amsterdam: J. Rieuwertz 1659. Contemporary overlapping vellum. Small 8vo. With a woodcut title-vignette showing a witch on a broomstick leaving a house through the chimney 4.3 x 5.2 cm 13 etched full-page illustrations on 8 plates by Salomon Savry. An exceptionally rare first edition of a book focusing on the subjects of witchcraft sorcery demonology and black magic. The author passionately expresses his dissatisfaction with the brutalities inflicted upon individuals accused of being witches using vivid and disturbing illustrations as evidence. Notably the book features a captivating woodcut title vignette depicting a witch's daring escape through a chimney. In the image her legs hang from the opening inside the house while she simultaneously rises on her broom outside the chimney creating a striking visual effect. Abraham Palingh is a somewhat elusive figure in Early Modern Dutch literature and his book provides a fascinating insight into the attitudes of an educated man toward witchcraft. He claims that his 't Afgerukt Mom-aansight Der Tooverye is based on firsthand accounts. Information regarding the occurrence of harmful sorcery and attitudes towards sorcery in Amsterdam and Haarlem has been documented from the initial witchcraft trials to the point where such crimes were no longer a concern for the judiciary. Between 1542 and 1566 trials for harmful sorcery took place in Amsterdam while Haarlem witnessed similar trials in 1549. Historical accounts of both cities as well as Jacobus Scheltema's History of Witch Trials published in Haarlem in 1828 make mention of sorcery trials in Amsterdam. However these references often provide only superficial details despite the potential for valuable insights found in the actual procedural documents. Conversely little information about witchcraft in Haarlem can be gleaned from existing literature. Abraham Palingh author of 't Afrukt Mom-aansight der Tooverye published in Haarlem in 1659 briefly mentions a few cases of sorcery accusations that he claims to have personally known yet his accounts remain vague.The fine and copperplate illustrations were made by Salomon Savry 1594-1683. He was a recognised engraver of his time highly involved with the Amsterdam book industry of the seventeenth century. Some wear to binding. Ex libris from the library of Leontine Buijnsters-Smets.

""The unique place occupied by Ortelius' Theatrum in the history of cartography is mainly due to its status as the world's first regularly produced atlas . Its form and content set the standards for subsequent atlases"" Koeman 1969 III 29. Ortelius' atlas was revolutionary because it was the first attempt to present the geography of the world in a uniformly produced collection of maps of all known parts of the world. Ortelius designed the maps himself basing his designs on the cartographic sources that he had at hand and equally revolutionary also mentioning his sources on the maps and once finished had them engraved by Frans Hogenberg and Ambrosius and Ferdinand Aertsen. Finally Gielis Coppens van Diest printed the maps after which they could be coloured also in a uniform style and bound in a logical order in one volume. These atlases were a new phenomenon and proved to be very popular in Europe. Soon editions were published in various languages of Europe in print runs of a few hundred copies each. A perfectly complete copy of the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum the Parergon and the Nomenclator Ptolemaicus in its original colours.
