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.

1672ABC_50310Amsterdam 1672. 8vo. Jacobus Wagenaar 18th-century sprinkled paper over contemporary gold-tooled calf with a brown paper label lettered "Hobbes" on the foot of the spine mottled edges. With an engraved frontispiece a woodcut vignette on the title page an engraved portrait of Thomas Hobbes and a folding table on the classification of sciences. 16 744 64 pp. First Dutch edition of the seminal work by Thomas Hobbes 1588-1679 one of the most original political philosophers of his era. Written during his exile in Paris amidst the English Civil War 1642-1651 Leviathan presents the state as a vast artificial monster composed of individual men whose authority is necessary to protect citizens from the natural state of war. Hobbes argued that survival property and power drive human behaviour making submission to a strong sovereign preferable to the chaos of anarchy. The present Dutch translation was made by Abraham van Berkel 1630-1688 who was closely associated with the Dutch freethinking circles around Spinoza. For this translation van Berkel wrote an important preface explicitly stating the political aims of publishing his Dutch Leviathan at that particular moment in Dutch history. A close reading of the Dutch text reveals several telling deviations from the English original one of which may represent a deliberate reinterpretation of Hobbes meaning presumably intended to adapt Hobbesian ideas more effectively to a Dutch context.With 2 stamps of the Breslau library on the verso of the title page and a later pencil annotation on p. 722. The boards are rubbed the spine is worn with a tear and loss of material at the head. The leaves are somewhat browned and foxed.l Graesse III 311 u; Knuttel Verboden Boeken 185; STCN 095379150 4 copies; USTC 1808932 5 copies; cf. PMM 138 English ed. hardcover

Engraved additional title and 243 engraved plates. Contemporary Dutch blindstamped vellum with arabesque design.<br/> <br/> Provenance: Karl Magnussun bookplate – John David Drummond 8th Earl of Perth Viscount Strathallan<br/> <br/> First expanded edition of one of the most attractive Dutch florilegia of the seventeenth century.<br/> <br/> 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.<br/> <br/> Hunt 396; Nissen BBI 1428; Tomasi Oak Spring Flora 45 latin edition; Pritzel 6556; Brunet 1947.
