14869BDEHOBV62VDWürzburg: Georg Reyser 1486. Later bound in two leaves from a 13th-century vellum theological manuscript rubricated and decorated with alternating red and blue initials with penwork. Folio. Printed in red and black in rotunda type 32 lines; printed area: 18 x 12 cm; type: 112a. With illustrations cut from 19th- or 20th-century reproductions of early woodcuts ca. 21 x 14 cm pasted on the front Annunciation and back pastedown Christophorus with the year "cccc xx tercio". Interesting example of the study of early printing in 19th-century England. The 12 leaves come from the library of the 19th-century collector Dr C. Inglis whose father boasted an impressive collection of early printed books. Inglis believed that the leaves came from an unknown work titled De vita et honestate clericorum ex consilio Moguntinum printed in 1453 by Gerhardus Episcopus. Tipped in is a letter to Inglis by the well-known bibliographer William Blades discussing this matter. Although the text opens with "De Vita et honestate clericorum ex consilio Maguntinensis Gerhardi Archiepiscipi" it was in fact part of Statuta synodalia herbipolensia printed at Würzburg by Georg Reyser in ca. 1486. The first 6 leaves are 2-d7 and the final 6 leaves are quire g.With owner's inscription of Sir Edward Coates bookplate with initials "CC" Clifford Coates the bookplate of Dr. C.

26503Without date or place. Three items all typed. In good condition lightly aged. ONE: Covering note probably by Peskett. 1p. 12mo. Headed 'Ribbentrop's Speech on the Occupation of Norway 1940'. Beneath the heading is an eight-line quotation from Low's 'Years of Wrath' followed by: 'The document herewith issued by the German Foreign Office is the Italian ambassador's copy of a number issued to those present on the occasion of Ribbentrop's speech to the Heads of Foreign Missions and members of the German and foreign press in Berlin in 1940. This is the full text of his speech in which he announced the evidence mentioned above of Britain's intention to invade Norway. In this Ribbentrop states that the Reich government can prove that Britain and France had long planned the occupation of Norway and that it was only by the last-minute intervention of Germany that the plan failed. He refers to the British attack on the ALTMARK in January 1940 and to British units engaged in the other operations notably the Sherwood Foresters. The document appears to have been put together in a hurry. It has been annotated here and there and underlined in places by the Italian ambassador in whose room at the Italian Embassy in Berlin it was found by W/Cdr S. John Peskett OBE in 1945. . A translation from the diplomatic French by W/Cdr Peskett is attached.' TWO: The text of Ribbentrop's speech in 'diplomatic French'. 29pp. 8vo. Stapled. With the annotations described above. Begins: 'Excellences! Messieurs des missions diplomatiques et messieurs de la presse etrangere et allemande Je vous ai invites a venir aujourd'hui pour vous communiquer directment une serie de documents politiques qui de l'avis du gouvernement du Reich sont de la plus grande importance pour l'opinion publique mondiale et notamment pour les gouvernement des pays neutres.' THREE: Peskett's translation of Item Two into English. 7pp. 8vo. At end: 'Translation by W/Cdr S. John Peskett OBE.' With emendations using correction fluid.

London 1742 the first collected two-volume edition appeared in 1743 printed by and for the editor Godfrey Smith. In his dedication to the fourth edition of The laboratory; or School of Arts 1755 Smith notes that he has suspended continuation of Acta Germanica for want of encouragement but hopes 'not only to finish the Second Volume but likewise to compleat my Design'. However no material appears to have been added after 1750 and the present work is a re-issue with cancel title page of the original sheets of Acta Germanica.

1810ABC_48289Amsterdam: E. Maaskamp 1810. Folded. An engraved map printed on linen ca. 33.5 x 43 cm. partly coloured by hand in red and blue ink. Extremely rare itinerary map of Northwestern Europe in the time of Napoleon printed on linen. It encompasses the north of the French empire including present day Netherlands Belgium Luxembourg and northern France down to Paris as well as the confederation of the Rhine present day Germany to Berlin in the east and Stuttgart in the south. The present edition of the map printed on linen is very rare as we have only been able to trace one other copy in sales records of the past 100 years and none in institutions.The map shows the routes between the major cities indicating post stations as well as the time of travel between each stop. These routes have here been coloured in red and the rivers canals and sea are coloured in blue.The present map is most likely the first edition but this is difficult to ascertain as it is not dated. Later editions followed as well as an English translation in 1815. On the separate map for the later editions also printed on linen the borders are adapted to the political situation of the time after 1815: the borders of the Kingdom of the Netherlands are indicated and "Royaume des Pays Bas" is added including "et Pays-Bas" at the end of the title. On our map the Netherlands are rendered as belonging to the French Empire after 1810 meaning it must have been printed before the other examples.The map is slightly frayed around the edges with some soiling/staining mostly on the right half. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Picarta 1 copy later ed.; WorldCat 71396772 2 copies later ed. E. Maaskamp, unknown

198532033AB1985. Reprint of the 1557 edition Basel. Essen Verlag Glueckauf 1985. Folio. 491 pages plus 8 pages of an explanatory text. Original Hardcover. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. From the library of the Viessmann - family in Hofeck with their beautiful library - stamp to the endpaper. Georgius Agricola born Georg Bauer; 24 March 1494 21 November 1555 was a German Humanist scholar mineralogist and metallurgist. Born in the small town of Glauchau in the Electorate of Saxony of the Holy Roman Empire he was broadly educated but took a particular interest in the mining and refining of metals. He was the first to drop the Arabic definite article al- exclusively writing chymia and chymista in describing activity that we today would characterize as chemical or alchemical giving chemistry its modern name. For his groundbreaking work De Natura Fossilium published in 1546 he is generally referred to as the father of mineralogy and the founder of geology as a scientific discipline. He is well known for his pioneering work De re metallica libri XII that was published in 1556 one year after his death. This 12-volume work is a comprehensive and systematic study classification and methodical guide on all available factual and practical aspects that are of concern for mining the mining sciences and metallurgy investigated and researched in its natural environment by means of direct observation. Unrivalled in its complexity and accuracy it served as the standard reference work for two centuries. Agricola stated in the preface that he will exclude "all those things which I have not myself seen or have not read or heard of". He continued "That which I have neither seen nor carefully considered after reading or hearing of I have not written about." As a scholar of the Renaissance he was committed to a universal approach towards learning and research. He published over 40 complete scholarly works during his professional life on a wide range of subjects and disciplines such as pedagogy medicine metrology mercantilism pharmacy philosophy geology history and many more. His innovative and comprehensive scholarly work based on new and precise methods of production and control has made his work a central part of scholarship and understanding of science during that period.
