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 Pindaric Ode is especially interesting in that Cowley attempted to reproduce Pindar's works but in doing so he misinterpreted the metrical patterns and in doing so did not accurately reflect Pindar's poetry.

""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.

161230987Antwerp: Balthasar Moretus 1612. Other. In excellent condition. 338 by 488mm 13 by 19 inches. Original copper engraving published 1612 in the famous historical Atlas Parergon Latin text-edition by Abraham Ortelius. Finely later hand-colored in wash and outline. Very decorative map of North Africa Libya and Tunisia with Malta and southern Sicily.This map is ornated with a decorative title cartouche in the upper right corner and an inset with text cartouches in the lower left corner. Villages and towns are shown as miniature views. 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.

1612219257Abraham Ortelius 1612. unbound. very good. Map. Engraving with hand coloring. Image measures 14" x 19.25".<br/><br/> This stunning 1612 map by Abraham Ortelius depicts the Western Hemisphere. At the time it was issued the coastal areas of the New World had been fairly well explored and Europeans were just beginning settlement and colonization. It is notable for depicting Spanish and Portuguese colonies in high detail for these powers were notoriously protective of their geographical surveys.<br><br>This is the first state of the third plate engraved for Ortelius's landmark map of the New World. It is distinguished from the first two plates by the lack of the bulge to the southwest coast of South America. Several other cartographic enhancements are apparent on closer inspections.<br><br>The Solomon Islands are depicted here for the first time since their discovery in 1568 by Alvaro de Mendana. The map identifies several places previously unpublished due to political reasons. These were provided to Ortelius by Haklyut on the basis of recent explorations. The nomenclature in California is also included.<br><br>Perhaps the most notable enhancements on the east coast is the Indian name Wingandkoa and an inlet just above possibly the first depiction of the Chesapeake Bay on a printed map reflecting early English efforts at Colonization in the Outer Banks of the Carolinas. <br><br> Based on Gerard Mercators 1569 World Map this map includes an abundance of cartographic speculation representing the knowledge of the region during the time. The kingdom of Quivira the supposed ancient city of gold in North America. Conquistador Francisco Vázquez de Coronado searched for Quivira for several years to finally find it was no more than American Indian settlement of farming people. Terro del Fueggo first reached by Magellan is here shown to be part of the large speculated continent of Terra Australis that extends westward with the annotation "The southern of Magellanican land as yet unknown".<br><br>Other interesting annotations throughout include "Somewhere here there are islands which according to some have gold" and Patagonia shows a notation that suggests its inhabitants were giants.<br><br>The waters are ornamented with illustrations of ships and a sea monster. In earlier plates the ships are different. A large title cartouche is included in the bottom left. Another scale cartouche appears in the top left. Published in the 1612 or 1608 edition the map is identical in both editions of Ortelius' famous "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which is historically considered the first modern atlas.
