1692D4272Amsterdam: n.p. Chez Pierre Brunel 1692. First Edition in French. Hardcover. Very Good. 4 232 pp. Title in red and black with etched royal cypher. 120 copper engraved commemorative medals by Adriaen Schoonebeeck. Added engraved title page signed by Romeyn de Hooghe dated 1691. 12 full-page etchings signed by de Hooghe that depict festival constructions for Williams entry into The Hague in 1691 and also portraits of William and Mary among other emblems. Engraved headpiece and initial decoration on dedication leaf signed by Schoonebeck followed by full-page engraved leaf honoring Chevalier with depictions of Atlas Aristotle and other muses. Full contemporary vellum blind-stamped with central lozenge design; very slight foxing or staining engravings fresh; covers slightly bowed. Initialled bookplate P.M.G to front pastedown. First Edition in French of this biography of William III of England extensively illustrated to show important events in the monarchs life. This work was privately printed for Nicolas Chevalier who was a hobbyist and coin collector. A large proportion of Dutch print-making at the end of the 17th century focused on William III. An almost categorical personality cult surrounded the stadtholder-king. Among the print-makers Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an important and prolific late Dutch Baroque engraver and caricaturist. He is best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic prints supporting William of Orange. De Hooghes 12 etchings of triumphal arches for this work are adaptations of plates in the works by Bidloo and Tronchin de Breuil published in 1691 and 1692. Adriaen Schoonebeek c. 1657- 1705 is often mentioned because of his appearance as witness for the prosecution in a court case against de Hooghe that formed the climax of a slanderous exchange of pamphets between Orangists and members of the Amsterdam faction in 1690. These animosities did not prevent re- employment of both engravers in executing plates for this Nicolas Chevaliers 1692 illustrated volume on numismatics and the life of King William. Rare.

Wonders No Miracles; Or, Mr. Valentine Greatrates (sic!) Gift of Healing Examindet, Upon occasion of a Sad Effect of his Stroaking, (etc.) - London, Printed for Sam. (Samuel Speed) 1666. Titelbl., 46 S. Lederband d. Zeit, Einbandrücken restauriert, Reste des früheren Rückenbezugs mit (abgeriebener) Goldprägung und des von alter Hand beschriebenen Rückenschildchens aufgeklebt, Einbanddeckel mit Zierrahmen in Goldprägung, mit dreiseitiger, grossteils abgeriebener Stehkantenverzierung, Buchschnitt rotgefärbt, Vorsatz erneuert. Wenig gebräunt, nur schwach stockfleckig.

NUC 216,238. 574,340 u. 336,191 - Sammelband mit drei selbständig erschienenen Schriften in Erstausgaben (bzw. im Jahr der Erstausgabe erschienen) von bzw. über den zu seiner Zeit berühmten und umstrittenen - auch noch später immer wieder in Publikationen erwähnten - Wunderheiler - Valentine Greatrakes (1628-1682). Der aus Irland stammende 'Geistheiler', wirkte in Irland und England und hatte neben Erfolgen auch Misserfolge zu verzeichnen. Der Sammelband enthält eine Schrift des Naturwissenschaftlers und anerkannten Altphilologen H. Stubbe (auch Stubbes; 1632-1676), die Greatrakes Heilungen durch Handauflegen ins Bereich des Wunderbaren und Mysteriösen verweisen, sowie eine Schrift, die heute dem Biographen David Lloyd (1635-1692) - nicht David Bryce, wie auf dem Titelblatt vermerkt - zugeschrieben wird, in welcher er gegen Greatrakes Stellung nimmt. Als Reaktion darauf verfasste Greatrakes den vorliegenden 'Brief Account' in Form eines Briefes an den bekannten Naturforscher Robert Boyle. Der aus Irland stammende Boyle (1627-1692) gilt als Mitbegründer der modernen Naturwissenschaften. Diese drei zeitgenössischen, noch zu Greatrakes Lebzeiten erschienenen, Schriften sind überaus selten. - Das fehlende Frontispiz liegt in Kopie bei. - Differenzbesteuert
