Page including Our Little Polish Cousin and Our Little Austrian Cousin w/ her bookplate on verso of front wrapper. First edition of this scarce and important history of the Arab conquest of Spain whose author was an early proponent of the wide-ranging impact of Arab learning and inventions on Western Europe. He describes the development and adoption of paper by the Arabs as early as 706 A.D. long before widespread use in Western Europe; the appropriation of the compass by the Arabs from the Chinese which was not commonly used in Western Europe until the 13th century; as well as the tremendous impact of the introduction of gunpowder mentioning the possible early use by the Arabs in 690 during a siege of Mecca but was probably a result of the development of the use of gunpowder bomb catapults used against the the Arabs in the 13th century. The first time gunpowder was used in Western Europe the Moors used primitive guns against the Spaniards under King Alfonso X of Castile when he laid seige to the city of Niebla in 1262.

18081609070023Madrid: La Imprenta Real 1808-01-01. Hardcover. Good. 146 p. 68 plates. Original sheep red spine label royal seal on title page. Wear and rubbing to boards some worming later paper label to tail of spine. Hinges cracking slightly marginal dampstain affecting a few plates. <br> This book was issued by the Bourbon Royal Press. It depicts infantry practice and maneuvers of a Napoleonic era army. The Treaty of Fontainebleau 1807 between Charles IV of Spain and Napoleon I of France concerned the occupation of Portugal. Charles IV hoped it would lead to an alliance between the French Empire as in pre-revolutionary times. However six months later Napoleon turned on his new ally. The Spanish Army was ill-equipped and lacked tactical training and this book was a last-ditch effort to improve the state of the Spanish army's training. Overall it was not a success as Napoleon ridiculed the Spanish army as "the worst in Europe" and the British forces who had to work with it agreed. Madrid: La Imprenta Real hardcover

18505353Spain 1850. Very good. 45pp. Small quarto. Contemporary calf gilt. A few minor abrasions along spine edges and corners worn. Occasional minor dust-soiling or foxing to text. An intriguing handwritten manual on cockfighting describing different types of roosters and the rules for fighting them presumably produced in Spain in the first half of the 19th century. The subtitle of the work touts it as in English translation "a very useful work for cockfighting fans." The manuscript includes passages with headings such as "Nobleza antiguedad y utilidad del juego de Gallo" "Nobility antiquity and usefulness of the Rooster game" "De las peleas en general" "Of fights in general" "Condiciones para carear la guerra" "Conditions to face war" "Condiciones en las peleas de navaja" "Conditions in knife fights" "Observaciones acerca del acto de las peleas" "Observations about the act of fighting" "De las circumstancias del Gallero de las cosas anexas a su egercicio y de su gratificacion" "Of the circumstances of the Gallero of the things annexed to his exercise and gratification" "Sobre preparacion de los gallos para las peleas de pico" "On the preparation of roosters for beak fights" "Del modo de disponer los gallos para las peleas de navaja" "How to arrange the roosters for knife fights" as well as passages on the rules for fighting and comparing roosters by weight age and other means and more. A substantial portion of the latter part of the manual is devoted to describing about thirty different "Colores de los gallos" and color patterns which include various shades and patterns of "Indio" "Giro" "Canelo" "Blanco" "Prieto" "Pintojo" and "Tabao." The last section contains a "Regimen para curar las enformedades que mas generalmente padecen los gallos" "Regimen for curing diseases that roosters most generally suffer from".<br /> <br /> Though an undated manuscript the binding appears to emanate from the first half of the 19th century. The ownership inscription and stamp on the first flyleaf indicates the work was owned by Fermin Canella Secades of the University of Oviedo in Spain. Canella Secades lived from 1849 until 1924 so could have owned the work anywhere within those years but the manuscript was most assuredly produced earlier. Though he was a prolific author the handwriting of the ownership inscription presumably belonging to Canella Secades does not match the handwriting in the manuscript and the ownership inscription and stamp were most certainly added later. In any case the present manuscript is a fascinating collection of useful information regarding one of the more esoteric bloodsports in the world which is still legal in parts of Spain and Mexico as well as many other countries and still practiced in numerous places where it's clearly illegal. unknown

189074328Spain: Illegible ca. 1890. Sight size of 21 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches with the original frame measuring 24 3/8 x 20 1/2 inches. Framed and glazed. Very good.The Gate of Justice is the largest of the entrances into the castle of Alhambra. The Arabic name for the gate was long believed to refer to Islamic justice or law - charia. But in fact this was a misinterpretation for a similar-sounding word and it has been shown that the translation should be Gate of the Esplanade. Its multiple arches are decorated with the Hand of Fatima Mohammed's daughter and the key to the Islamic paradise as well as a Virgin and Child placed there by the Catholic Monarchs to consecrate the gate for Christianity.
