Many errors of pagination. - Much later late 19th century half-clioth with marble-paper covered hard boards; quite worn. - Rare abbreviated printing of Schonberg's 1693 "magnum opus" which is of the size of 8 240 38 134 2 pages. -- For the present copy no publisher's name publication place or year given. Though the font is identical to that of the well described edition this is not a direct reprint - the present copy has a somewhat different spatial arrangement and contains many misprints for instance on the title-page "Vatterland" for "Vaterland" etc. not in the original. WorldCat describes it as : "Vermutlich in Leipzig bei David Fleischer gedruckt"; and the date is likely to be 1693 or close to it. -- Schonberg gives a comprehensive description of mining and of all kind of related practices such as prospecting underground surveying tunnel construction machinery flood control in mines washing of ore assaying smelting et. even administration and industrial relation. - The second part "Redens-arten" gives the terminology af mining in dictionary form. - Much rarer than the original: WorldCat gives only three locations: two in Denmark and one in Germany. <br/> <br/> David Fleischer (?) hardcover

1689LTH1-E-10Cologne: Pierre Marteau 1689. Leather. Good Only. 9.5" by 7.5". None. A scarce and early collection of works discussing political issues surrounding restoration France and King Louis XIV. Written in French Written while the author was imprisoned the collection contains both parts one and two of L'Ambassadeur et ses Fonctions Reflaxions sur Les Memoires Pour Les Ambassadeurs et Rosponse Au Ministre Prisonnier and Discours Historique de L'election de L'Empereur et des Electeurs de L'Empire. Featuring illuminated capitals. Wicqufort was an intelligencer gazetteer and a diplomat of the second order who is remembered more for what he wrote than for his other accomplishments. Born in Holland Wicquefort nevertheless spent most of his diplomatic career in Paris. Here he served as resident of the Elector of Brandenburg-Prussia from 1626 until 1658 when having fallen foul of Mazarin he was first briefly imprisoned in the Bastille and then expelled. Invited to The Hague by John de Witt the Grand Pensionary of Holland Wicquefort was employed as a translator for the States General but chiefly as the Grand Pensionary's special secretary for French correspondence. In 1675 Wicquefort who had in the previous year also secured the appointment of resident in Holland of the Duke of Brunswick-Luneburg-Celle was accused by his enemies of selling state secrets. He was tried by the Court of Holland and despite his plea of diplomatic immunity imprisoned for life on the grounds that he remained a Dutch national in the paid service of its government to which he had taken an oath of secrecy. Sent like Grotius before him to the prison of Loevestein though he escaped to Celle in 1679 he devoted his time to furious writing. First published in the year before he died and subsequently reissued many times this became the most highly regarded manual of diplomacy of the eighteenth century. Disbound although with original rear board and backstrip. Generally firmly bound to the text block edge although with title page absent and the last few leaves detached yet present. Generally bright and clean although with the first page slightly age toned and with the odd spot throughout. Good Only Pierre Marteau hardcover
16248030Antwerp: Plantin-Moretus 1624. Copper engraving 37.5 x 49.5 cms modern hand colour small burn hole in table of peoples and places Latin text on verso. Our example was published by Balthasar Moretus at the Plantin Press in the final edition of the Parergon. Ortelius's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum is generally considered the first modern atlas of the world originally published in 1570. Ortelius gathered and selected the best available cartographic knowledge and presented it in a single volume duly credited and finely engraved in a consistent style with explanatory text. The Theatrum was very decorative and hugely popular amongst the wealthy and educated running into over forty editions in Latin and the major European languages. For Ortelius himself however his accompanying atlas of ancient geography the Parergon was a "personal work" Koeman. He seems to have regarded himself first and foremost as an antiquary and rather than copying other people's maps he drew the originals himself; they were subsequently engraved for him by the master engraver Jan Wierix. The results have to be evaluated as the most outstanding engravings depicting the wide-spread interest in classical geography in the 16th century Koeman.
