Volume 3 M2 has a marginal repair and boards are loose on Volume 1 and Volume 3 has upper joint split. Cloth Slip-case a little rubbed at the extremities but the binding is superb and certainly worthy of repair. Gold leaf edges with gold leaf filigree and wonderful Red Moroccan leather. Binder is unknown but certainly is of the quality of a Riviere binding placing the rebinding of the book in the 1800's. The bookplate is the initials 'D D' entwined with one another and the words. Quis Separatbit and the date 1783 making this owner a standing member of the Order of Saint Patrick founded by George III in 1783 specifically for the Irish aristocracy who in many cases supported the Catholic Irish rights some of course did not.

160323753Antwerpen: J.B. Vrients 1603. Other. In excellent condition. 363 by 504mm 14 by 19 inches. Original antique copper engraving published 1603 at J.B. Vrients in an edition of Abraham Ortelius Theatrum. Finely hand colored in wash and outline. This antique historical map was published from 1595 to 1624 onwards in various edition of the Theatrum and the Parergon by Ortelius. Verso Latin text last line of text endsputant and with signature ix. The map is ornated with three cartouches in the upper middle the title cartouche in the upper right corner we find a cartouche with the privilegium. On the lower right side cartouche with text. Villages and towns are shown as miniature views moreover the map is ornated with ships. Ortelius was born on 14 April 1527 in the city of Antwerp which was then in the Habsburg Netherlands modern-day Belgium. The Orthellius family were originally from Augsburg a Free imperial city of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1535 the family had fallen under suspicion of Protestantism. Following the death of Ortelius's father his uncle Jacobus van Meteren returned from religious exile in England to take care of Ortelius. Abraham remained close to his cousin Emanuel van Meteren who would later moved to London. In 1575 he was appointed geographer to the king of Spain Philip II on the recommendation of Arias Montanus who vouched for his orthodoxy. He travelled extensively in Europe and is specifically known to have traveled throughout the Seventeen Provinces; in southern western northern and eastern Germany e.g. 1560 15751576; France 15591560; England and Ireland 1576; and Italy 1578 and perhaps twice or thrice between 1550 and 1558. Beginning as a map-engraver in 1547 he entered the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke as an illuminator of maps. He supplemented his income trading in books prints and maps and his journeys included yearly visits to the Frankfurt book and print fair where he met Gerardus Mercator in 1554. In 1560 however when travelling with Mercator to Trier Lorraine and Poitiers he seems to have been attracted largely by Mercator's influence towards the career of a scientific geographer.

Cawston then announced his patron's death and proceeded to convince his family and various bankers of the truth of his story. "He referred to a palace that he had in Spain full of works of art and instructed his solicitor to look out for a large country house for him and to acquire for him a few parliamentary boroughs. The Empress of Russia he said paid interest of six thousand pounds a year on a loan from his benefactor and he claims too on the King of Spain. the hoax lasted only a few months. The acceptance of his story is incapable of explanation but the facts are not in dispute. He subsequently became a clergyman."-Oldham A History of Shrewsbury School pages 88-9.
