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.

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

Faint dampstain on text block edge. Some small stains and darkened pages. French text. <br/><br/>Note the dedication to the Duke of Longueville. Chapelain received a pension from this nobleman allowing him to write this heroic epic about Joan of Arc. The poem's subject also allowed him to celebrate Jean de Dunois a medieval ancestor of the house of Longueville who was one of the great military leaders of the Hundred Years War. Apparently Chapelain let thirty years go by before he published the first half of this masterpiece leading some to argue that Chapelain wished to spin out his pension as long as he could. <br /> <br />This is one of the first French books engraved by a painter. Claude Vignon 1593 1670 was a French painter printmaker and illustrator who worked in a wide range of genres. Abraham Bosse ca. 1604 1676 was another French artist mainly as a printmaker and etcher. Most of his output was illustrations for books but many were also sold separately. Chez Augustin Courbe hardcover

Van den Broecke #209. <br> <br> Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a prominent Flemish cartographer geographer and cosmographer renowned for creating the first modern atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" which first appeared in 1570 and expanded over time to include 134 maps by 1592. Born in Antwerp he began his career as a map colorist and became a significant figure in cartography after being influenced by Gerard Mercator. His work was pivotal in the development of modern cartography integrating maps from various sources and reflecting his advanced geographical theories including early thoughts on continental drift. Appointed Royal Cartographer to King Philip II of Spain in 1575 Ortelius had access to extensive Spanish geographical knowledge. Despite the religious and political turmoil of his time he maintained a position of relative neutrality focusing on his scholarly and cartographic pursuits. His influential works also included "Synonymia Geographica" "Nomenclator Ptolemaicus" and "Parergon."<br/> <br/> Abraham Ortelius unknown
16247958Antwerp: Plantin-Moretus 1624. Copper engraving 32.5 x 48 cms modern hand colour Latin text on verso. Latium the hinterland of ancient Rome. Van den Broecke notes a minor change in nomenclature which was made for the 1624 edition 209.3 which is not present here although 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. Koeman Atlantes Neerlandici Ort 46.

Considered the world's first true atlas it established the modern format of uniform standardized maps bound together in a single volume.

Bound in at the end the last 20 pages are: 1 - A.

Paris A.

Paris A. Bosse 1667. 4pp. This scarce book is written in the form of a dialogue between Ariste an amateur who would like to build an architect a painter a "disciple" and the author himself. All the representatives of these different arts are asking for Bosse's advice. This allows Bosse to express once again his ideas regarding perspective in painting and architecture. Abraham Bosse who was born in Tours in 1602 is best known as an engraver but he was also the first professor of perspective at the newly founded Académie Royale from 1648 to 1661 when he was forced to leave due to disagreements with other Académicians. The two addresses that follow the book explain why in Bosse's own opinion he had been forced to leave his lob at the Académie and they also respond to comments made about Bosse by Félibien in the preface to the first part of the latter's Entretiens published a year earlier. c.f.
