One open tear just touching printed marginal notation small hole affecting two words light and very sparse foxing a touch heavier on a few signatures and some negligible spotting here and there otherwise A VERY CLEAN AND ATTRACTIVE COPY with only the most trivial wear.<br/> <br/> From a distinguished collection in pleasing condition and in a contemporaneous binding this volume contains the works of Abraham Cowley one of the most precocious poets in the annals of English literature. Cowley 1616-67 was producing poetic works of inexplicable sophistication before he had settled into puberty; he published his first volume of verse at 15; and he went on to become one of the most popular poets of his day. Cowley was a staunch royalist who served in the exiled court of Charles I's queen Henrietta Maria where he helped to encode and decipher messages sent between the monarchy's supporters including the royal couple themselves. Despite having been arrested and imprisoned as a royalist agent at one point Cowley escaped the Cromwell years largely unscathed and retired to the countryside in 1663. Upon his death Cowley was not only given the extraordinary honor of burial in Westminster Abbey noted by the DNB as "the most lavish funeral which had ever been given to a mere man of letters in England" but was also afforded a privileged spot next to the graves of Spenser and Chaucer. Cowley's influence on contemporary poetry was demonstrably deep; his funerary monument refers to him as "the English Virgil" and Perkin asserts that his "fame as a poet exceeded even that of Milton" during the waning years of the Restoration. The first part here contains the poet's best-known mature works while the second is composed of his early efforts and the third his writings on plants. Our volume is from the collection of Robert S. Pirie 1934-2015 an extremely successful lawyer and investment banker who amassed the finest library of 16th and 17th century English literature in private hands during his lifetime. In 1984 he was elected one of the 40 members of the Roxburghe Club the world's oldest society of bibliophiles. Our volume has a thrice-distinguished provenance. The first recorded owner is Archibald Philip Primrose 5th Earl of Rosebery 1847-1929 Prime Minister of the United Kingdom during 1894-95. Earlier he had been Foreign Secretary twice as well as Leader of the Opposition. As stated in the British Armorial Bindings database Rosebery was an "ardent and discriminating book collector." Afterwards the present volume became the property of Bombay-born and Cambridge-educated Lawrence Strangman 1907-80 son of Sir Thomas Strangman Q.C. and Lady Winifred Strangman. Much of his celebrated collection went to his alma mater Trinity Hall in the University of Cambridge where it is maintained as the Strangman Collection in Jerwood Library while other portions were handled by Sotheby’s. A captain in WWII Strangman served as a distinguished Intelligence Officer. Our third recorded owner is Robert S. Pirie 1934-2015 an extremely successful lawyer and investment banker who amassed the finest library of 16th and 17th century English literature in private hands during his lifetime.

Abraham Cowley 1618-1667 English poet and royalist agent. Achieving remarkable poetic success in his youth Cowley's life was somewhat interrupted by the tumultuous 1640s. An avowed royalist after his eviction from Trinity College Cambridge he pinned his fortunes to the King's cause. Following the court to Paris after defeat at Marston Moor Cowley served as a secretary and agent to Queen Henrietta Maria's court-in-exile from 1644-54 a position terminated only by his arrest during a mission to England. The first collected edition of Cowley's poetry arranged following his release from Cromwell's custody appeared in 1656 and contained his Mistress Pindarique Odes and epic life of King David Davideis in addition to an extensive selection of miscellaneous early verse. Subsequent printings as here appearing after the Restoration would include his 'A Discourse by way of Vision Concerning the Government of Oliver Cromwell' a meditation spurred by the death of the reviled Protector.

162421830Antwerp: Balthasar Moretus 1624. Other. A very good example in excellent condition. 360 by 480mm 14 by 19 inches. Original copper engraving published 1624 in the famous historical Atlas Parergon Latin text-edition by Abraham Ortelius. Finely hand colored in wash and outline. Fine and early historical map on Thracia. The area on this map covers mainly Thracia in Northern Greece and parts of Romania. The map is ornated with three cartouches in the upper left corner the title cartouche on the lower and upper right side we find text cartouches. 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.

16247932Antwerp: Plantin-Moretus 1624. Copper engraving 36 x 48 cms modern hand colour Latin text on verso. Ancient Thrace extending from Macedonia to Byzantium following the cartography of Gastaldi supplemented by information from classical sources including Herodotus Strabo and Pliny. 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.

A fine and original hand-colored example of Ortelius's celebrated cartographic work documenting this region of Germany with the precision and decorative artistry characteristic of the 16000s. Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 was a Flemish cartographer and geographer from Antwerp widely regarded as the creator of the first modern atlas. His landmark publication Theatrum Orbis Terrarum 1570 set the standard for atlas-making for the next century presenting uniform copper-engraved maps with scholarly commentary. By Ortelius's death the Theatrum had appeared in 25 editions in seven languages. In 1575 King Philip II of Spain appointed him Royal Geographer. His maps engraved with extraordinary precision are among the most sought-after in antique cartography held in collections including the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp the Library of Congress and the British Library.This original copperplate engraving with original hand coloring depicts the region of Thüringen published in Antwerpen 1603. The map features a decorative Baroque cartouche containing the title inscription. A distance scale is incorporated within the cartouche or alongside it. The map records the political and geographic boundaries of the region as understood in 1603 offering a fascinating window into the history of German territorial organization.

Bosse a mathematician and geometrician was extremely interested in the work of Girard Desargues and published several works on perspective. The present work was published in 1665. He wanted it to be the definite text on the subject that he taught but he was expelled from the Academy for lack of flexibility before its publication. Most of the 47 pages of the introduction deal with the principal errors that painters can make if they are not aware of the rules of perspective. The 67 plates and their explications deal with the necessary knowledge to apply perspective correctly. And these echo the lessons Bosse gave to his students at the Academy. He also deals with perspective in architecture.</p> chez l'auteur
