't Afgerukt Mom-aansight Der Tooverye: Daar in Het bedrogh der gewaande Toverye naakt ontdekt en met gezonde Redenen en exempelen dezer Eeuwe aangewezen wort.

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.

Seder Hagadah shel Pesah ke-Minhag Ashkenaz u-Sefarad FIRST EDITION OF THE AMSTERDAM HAGGADAH

169555736Amsterdam: Be-veit ha-meshutafim Asher Anshil ben Eliezer ve-Yisakhar Ber ben Avraham Eliezer/ Moses Wiesel 1695. First edition. Hardcover. g to near fine. Small folio 30 by 18.8 cm. Collation: aleph-vav4 zayin2 = 26 numbered leaves. Full period brown paper boards re-backed with a brown leather spine with raised bands. Letterpress title-page with ornate floral woodcut device; additional engraved title-page mounted depicting Moses and Aaron along with six small biblical scenes within round borders all against an architectural background. Engraved folding map at rear mounted; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text. This gorgeously illustrated work is the first edition of the famous and highly influential Passover Haggadah printed in Amsterdam in 1695. Simply known as the Amsterdam Haggadah this edition stands as among the most imitated and copied haggadahs in history and was the first to be illustrated with copperplate engravings. Previous illustrated haggadahs had used woodcuts. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge numbers of reprint editions over the centuries. There are 14 finely printed large in-text engravings plus the full page engraved title page showing Moses Aaron and Adam in the Garden of Eden. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder and/or the exodus story while some are other biblical stories less directly related. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Holy Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned underneath with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist MatthÃ¤us Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30. In addition to the in text engravings there is famously a phenomenal fold-out engraved biblical map of the holy land. Measuring a total of 19.5x11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Sinai desert and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the desert and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. The map is decorated with additional illustrations near the bottom and includes a key. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin. Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle of Haggadah which references the both Ashkenazi and Sephardic traditions. This copy with binding in beautiful condition with being professionally restored includining spine re-backed to style. Book block tight. Interior with some staining to pages throughout from use. Binding in very good to near fine inteiror in good condition overall.

BLOEMAERT Abraham; BloemaertABAA

Oorspronkelyken Vermaard Konstryk.

16791669291679. BLOEMAERT Abraham and Frederik. Artis Apellae Liber Tekenboek van Abraham Bloemaart / The Drawing Book of Abraham Bloemaert. Complete set of 160 engravings in eight parts including the chiaroscuro woodcut title-page. Folio 326 x 238 mm bound in contemporary Dutch brown calf blind-tooled spine. Amsterdam: Nicholaes Visscher 1679-1702. First Edition of Abraham Bloemaert's Drawing Book Tekenboek illustrated with engravings by Frederik Bloemaert ca. 1610-1669 after his father's designs. Abraham Bloemaert's original life drawings which were executed mainly between 1625-1635 and 1645-1650 include multiple studies of hands feet arms legs male and female profiles nudes putti and costumed figures seen in various poses from varied angles and under various lighting conditions plus a number of domestic animals. Abraham Bloemaert intended his drawings later converted by his son into engravings to serve as a teaching collection of visual models for practicing artists. The publishing history is as follows: a variant edition containing between 100 and 120 engraved plates was issued by Bloemaert's son Frederik between 1650 and 1656 under the title: Artis Apellae Liber. The 1650-56 edition is so rare it is unobtainable today. It is recorded in only three copies: British Museum 120 plates Bibliothèque Nationale de France 100 plates and Los Angeles County Museum of Art 120 plates. The extreme rarity of all early editions of Bloemaert's Tekenboek reflects the fact that a very limited number were originally printed and that the early printings did not survive the heavy use received by artists and the assistants in the artist's studio. The present copy belongs to the true First Edition Roethlisberger 1a 393 Visscher edition complete with 160 engraved plates plus the chiaroscuro woodcut title all in very good impressions. It is significant that Roethlisberger in his massive catalogue raisonné of the work of Abraham Bloemaert and His Sons Doornspijk 1993 reproduces the entire set of engravings from the 1740 edition. Abraham Bloemaert 1564-1651 was successful as a teacher not only of his four sons but also of the leading Dutch Caravaggisti e.g. Terbrugghen and Honthorst and virtually every Utrecht master painter/artist. Besides Hendrik Goltzius Abraham Bloemaert and his son Frederik were among the earliest to combine the chiaroscuro woodblock technique with the engraved and etched line Hind. Unlike most drawing books "Bloemaert's drawing examples are not derived from other authors" Bolten. Very occasional browning or spotting overall a fine clean copy.

169640906Leiden and Utrecht: Pieter vander Aa and François Halma 1696. Two volumes folio. 15 5/16 x 10 1/4 inches. Half title title printed in red and black with engraved vignette. Engraved additional title and 243 engraved plates. Contemporary Dutch blindstamped vellum with arabesque design. Provenance: Karl Magnussun bookplate – John David Drummond 8th Earl of Perth Viscount Strathallan First expanded edition of one of the most attractive Dutch florilegia of the seventeenth century. Munting was professor of botany at the University of Groningen and took over and enlarged the botanic garden founded by his father Henricus. The present work depicts some of the exotic and remarkable plants growing in the garden. It is one of the earliest and most important documents concerning Japanese flora and its importation into the West predating Thunbergs works by almost one hundred years. "Munting wrote a number of works on medical-botanical topics but his posthumously published opus magnum the Naauwkeurige enjoyed particular success at least in part due to the novelty of the plates which in a radical departure from the iconography of the traditional florilegium presented its plant species against a charming series of landscape backgrounds . The illustrations are remarkable for their elegance and originality" Oak Spring Flora. The initial botanical line drawings are now known to have been by about ten different but unidentified artists. Some time after Munting's death and in preparation for their publication these line drawings had tone and the pictorial back- and fore-grounds added by Jan Goeree 1670-1731 under the supervision of the publishers. The engraving and etching was then carried out by Jacob Gole and Joseph Mulder engraver of many of plates in Maria Sibylla Merians work on the insects of Surinam.

""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.
