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.

91MGUB7YLZSDNetherlands 1740. Mounted in passepartout. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper 16.5 x 21.5 cm with a manuscript caption at the head. Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker 1676/77-1735 one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademakers drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed but otherwise in good condition.l Cf.
