1729ST16379-042Venezia Venice: Appresso Carlo Buonarrigo 1729. FIRST EDITION. 155 x 105 mm. 6 1/8 x 4 1/8. 1 p.l. extra engraved title 122 pp. <br/> Original cream-colored wrapper of heavy paper silk ribbon stitching remnants of old shelf label at foot of spine. Extra engraved title page depicting the Bucinotoro in all its glory surmounted by the Lion of St. Mark emblem of Venice. Front pastedown with bookplate of the duke of Arenberg Castle Nordkirchen. Cicognara 4369. Binding lightly soiled front pastedown lifting occasional faint yellowing to margins other trivial imperfections but still A VERY FINE COPY--clean bright and especially fresh in its remarkably well-preserved fragile binding.<br/> <br/> This is a detailed account of the magnificent Bucintoro—a ceremonial ship used in the annual ritual in which the Doge of Venice was symbolically wedded to the sea— unveiled in 1729. The city known as La Serenissima had long been a major port for trade between Europe and points East and the people honored the role played by the Mediterranean Sea in the Republic's prosperity. Beginning in 1311 the head of state sailed forth each year on Ascension Day to be "married" to the sea aboard a boat called the Bucintoro. The wooden ship was restored or rebuilt from time to time through the centuries and in 1719 the Venetian Senate commissioned a brand new vessel to be richly ornamented and even bedecked with gold. <br /> <br /> Our volume describes the process by which the finest artists and artisans of the day--from shipbuilders to sculptors and painters--created the largest and most lavish Bucintoro in history. The engraved title page shows the stately craft in full rig banners flying as Doge Alvise Mocenigo is rowed out to meet his marine bride. Cicognara notes the volume's value in preserving for posteriority these memories of Italian greatness--and that greatness lasted only a relatively short time because after the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797 Napoleon had the Bucintoro stripped of its finery. The denuded and humiliated ship was then used by the Austrian navy until 1824 sailing under the name "Hydra."<br /> <br /> The presence of a binding identical to ours on several copies in sales records suggests that these may have been the publisher's original wrappers which have weathered the years surprisingly well. The text here is deeply impressed on thick paper upholding the fine tradition of Venetian printing. Appresso Carlo Buonarrigo unknown

The Venice Aquarium was opened in January 1909 on Kinney’s Pier and featured some of the finest marine specimens of any private or public Aquarium on the West Coast. A fish hatchery and sea lions were located in the rear of the aquarium. The aquarium later became the official marine biological station for the University of Southern California. Unfortunately in 1920 a month after the death of Kinney the entire pier was destroyed in a fire including the popular aquarium.

149325186Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Screyer and Sebastian Kammermeister 1493. First Edition with the Latin text the bifolium with fine hand-colouring to the Venice view. This is one of the large double-page city-view woodcuts from the workshop of Mighael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff beneith 24 lines of text. The view of Venice was adapted from the 1486 woodcut by Erhard Reuwich in the Sanctae Perigrinationes. It is handsomely and finely handcoloured in blues greens yellows reds grays etc. Double-page folio ca. 540 x 364 mm handsomely mounted framed and glazed. Leaves XLIII and XLIIII. In fine condition and very well preserved and presented. FROM THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE ARGUABLY THE GREATEST ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE 15TH CENTURY. The artists Michael Wolgemut the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff have been praised and admired for over five-hundred years for their contributions to one of the monuments of early printing. David Bland calls it "a marvelous book and a landmark in the history of illustration" and through the ages it has more than fulfilled Koberger's prophecy that it would be "the delight of the men of learning and of everyone who had any education at all."<br> HIGHLY IMPORTANT INCUNABLE the “Nuremberg Chronicle†is the most extensively illustrated book of the fifteenth century and after the Gutenberg Bible the most celebrated book printed in the fifteenth century. Its 1809 woodcut illustrations 1164 excluding repeats depict popes saints and other religious figures kings and emperors historical and biblical genealogies mythological and fanciful creatures natural phenomena and views of all the major cities of the known world as well as a brilliant creation sequence. In addition to the full-sheet maps of the world and of Europe twenty-nine city views such as this one span two pages and eight other cuts excluding the xylographic title page are full-page. The colophon explicitly acknowledges the contributions of the artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Albrecht Dürer was at that time a pupil in Wolgemut's workshop and there is good evidence that he did many of the preliminary drawings for woodcuts and may even have cut some of them see Adrian Wilson THE MAKING OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE.

Marginal flaws to frontispiece illumination just touching border in places a few small wormholes elsewhere minor handsoiling.<br /></p><p>Finely illuminated early 18th-century Venetian manuscript issued by the city's Magistrato alla Sanità Health Department as a license to certify the physician Antonio Damugliano d. 1747 to practice medicine in the Venetian Republic using his propriety formula for topical salves <i>balsami</i> to treat "wounds and ulcers" f. 3v-3r. The manuscript ornately written out and decorated in gold and colored ink opens with a full-page image of the winged Lion of San Marco in the Venetian landscape which serves as an official seal of the document's authenticity and is inscribed by five <i>Provveditori</i> of the Magistrato and one notary who witnessed the certification.</p><p>This pharmaceutical license represents a rare material survival of how Venice's Magistrato alla Sanità regulated the practice of medicine in its territories even down to the level of controlling how individual practitioners could work with specific drugs. Damugliano presumably was required to keep the document on his person while plying his trade and to present it to the relevant authorities or even to his patients should his practice be called into question. The text of the document is written out twice – first in Italian and then in Latin – to suit the linguistic preferences of both the common Venetian citizen and the professional medical class.</p><p>Damugliano also known as Antimo Damulianos is noted in the document dated April 1717 as being a native of the Ionian island of Zante or Zakynthos at the time a Venetian colony and having recently returned from Moscow "where with good success and for a long time he practiced medicine with full official permission of many noteworthy people" f. 2v. Damugliano is said to have studied medicine in Europe likely in Italy specializing in contagious diseases and eventually practicing in Asia Minor Persia India China Egypt Constantinople and Trieste and to have been ordered by Emperor Charles VI 1685-1740 to treat the sick of a plague outbreak in Corinth see L. Zoes passim. Damugliano's name is also associated with a 1725 treatise entitled 'Medicina' which circulated in manuscript form in Venice and dealt with the use of salves pills and stones to treat hydrophobia see L. Zoes; we have been unable to locate a copy of this treatise. Damugliano is also recorded as having worked in Vienna where an April 1746 news magazine comments that the "very famous" Damugliano having traveled through numerous kingdoms has arrived to demonstrate the curative powers of "the wondrous Chinese stone called Bezoar" which is effective against fevers snake bites fatigue colic etc. <i>Nachtrag</i> p. 64. The bezoar stone an indigestible mass formed in the digestive tract of ruminants was lauded from the middle ages as a universal antidote to poison.</p><p> R.

He was the author of a popular guide book "A Week in Venice: A Complete Guide-book to the City and Its Environs 1869. "Paved with water .the Grand Canal is the finest street in Venice and one of the finest in the world." Of the Piazza San Marco he says "one of the finest squares in the world; not the largest – for Trafalgar Square is larger – or the most regular – for it is crooked compared with the Place de la Concorde – but it defies London and Paris to produce its equal."
