1609WRCAM33906The Hague: Hillebrant Iacobz 1609. 11pp. Large vignette on titlepage. Modern marbled boards. Very good. The original edition of the official Dutch text of the "Twelve Years' Truce" between the United Provinces and Spain. There are thirty- eight articles of which nine deal with foreign trade. The present issue undoubtedly the first contains a few errors which were corrected in later issues. By this treaty the Dutch agreed to stay out of Spanish controlled possessions in the New World. However it conceded the right of the Dutch to trade in the East Indies and on the basis of this and the breathing room the treaty gave them they were able to rout the Spanish in the 1620s. Savelle calls the Twelve Years' Truce "a great international triumph for all the challengers of the Hispano-Portuguese monopoly" on New World colonization since it marked the first explicit recognition of the right of any non- Iberian people to sail to the Americas. Spain tacitly recognized the right of the Dutch to own colonies in the New World a right which the Dutch French and British vigorously pursued in the ensuing decades.

1690AMO-4534Reliure plein vélin ivoire de l'époque à coutures apparentes (vélin hollandais). Reste de titre à l'encre au dos (presque effacé). Légers frottements. Exemplaire frais, non restauré. Papier de qualité plus ou moins médiocre selon les tomes, parfois uniformément teinté. Collationné complet. Ce recueil est extrêment rare selon les différentes sources consultées. Sa mise en oeuvre semble hératique (nom d'éditeurn, dates et mention d'édition assez fantaisistes). Il semble pourtant que ce soit tout ce qui a paru de cet ensemble composé de chansons bacchiques, lestes et gaillardes. On lit dans le catalogue de livres provenant de la bibliotheque de monsieur Leroux de Lincy, n°225 (vélin, même collation) : "Recueil extrêmement rare, dans lequel on trouve un certain nombre de chansons relatives au règne de Louis XIV (vendu 58 francs à la vente Silvestre en 1845, ex. relié vélin comme le nôtre). "Il s'y trouve un grand nombre de couplets hostiles à Louis XIV". On trouve un autre recueil quasi identique à la date de 1688, est-le même ? Et un autre en 12 parties datées de 1696, qui ne semble pas être le même que notre exemplaire. On lit par ailleurs dans le catalogue de la bibliothèque de monsieur Cigongne à propros d'un exemplaire identique au nôtre : "Tome I. 3è édition (6 parties intitulées t. I à VI, et 1ère partie d'un 2ème volume, datée de 1690). Sur l'imprimé à Paris (Hollande), 1691.

A handsome and rare copy of the first full English translation of Pliny's Naturalis Historia by Philemon Holland the greatest translator of the Elizabethan age.<br /> <br /> «The 'Natural History' of Pliny the Elder is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world. The famous story of Pliny's death while trying to observe the eruption of Vesuvius at closer quarters than was prudent is often and justly cited as an example of the devoted curiosity on which the furthering of knowledge depends and to the Romans his writing on the natural sciences was pioneer work held in small esteem as he modestly says by his countrymen. He was a compiler rather than an original thinker and the importance of this book depends more on his exhaustive reading he quotes over four hundred authorities Greek and Latin than on his original work. All the spare time allowed him by a busy administrative career was devoted to reading ; he began long before daybreak his nephew the younger Pliny recorded and grudged every minute not spent in study; no book was so bad he used to say as not to contain something of value. When he died the 'Natural History' the sole extant work out of one hundred and two volumes from his pen was still incomplete. It comprises thirty-seven books dealing with mathematics and physics geography and astronomy medicine and zoology anthropology and physiology philosophy and history agriculture and mineralogy arts and letters. He is scrupulous in his acknowledgement of his sources you must he wrote with honest humility declare those from whom you have profited and the whole of the first book is devoted to the tables of con tents and authorities which bear witness to his method. The Historia soon became a standard book of reference. One of the earliest books to be printed at Venice the centre from which so much of classical literature was first dispensed it was later translated into English by Philemon Holland in 1601 and twice reprinted a notable achievement for so vast a text.» Carter John.

IMPORTANT EARLY ISSUE OF THE GREAT TRANSLATION OF PLINY INTO ENGLISH BY PHILEMON HOLLAND. The second printing of the first full English translation of this important book. First published in Venice in 1469 “The ‘Natural History†of Pliny the Elder is more than a natural history: it is an encyclopaedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world. .He was a compiler rather than an original thinker and the importance of this book depends more on his exhaustive reading he quotes over four hundred authorities Greek and Latin than on his original work. All the spare time allowed him by a busy administrative career was devoted to reading; he began long before daybreak his nephew the younger Pliny recorded and grudged every minute not spent in study; no book was so bad he used to say as not to contain something of value. When he died the 'Natural History' the sole extant work out of one hundred and two volumes from his pen was still incomplete. It comprises thirty-seven books dealing with mathematics and physics geography and astronomy medicine and zoology anthropology and physiology philosophy and history agriculture and mineralogy the arts and letters. He is scrupulous in his acknowledgment of his sources you must he wrote with honest humility declare those from whom you have profited and the whole of the first book is devoted to the tables of contents and authorities which bear witness to his method.<br> The HISTORIE soon became a standard book of reference: abstracts and abridgments appeared by the third century. Bede owned a copy Alcuin sent the early books to Charlemagne and Dicuil the Irish geographer quotes him in the ninth century. It was the basis of Isidorets Etymologiae and such medieval encyclopedias as the Speculum Majus of Vincent of Beauvais and the Catholicon of Balbus. One of the earliest books to be printed at Venice the center from which so much of classical literature was first dispensed it was later translated into English by Philemon Holland in 1601 and twice reprinted a notable achievement for so vast a text. .<br> More recently scholars as various as Humboldt and Grimm have praised and acknowledged their debt to it. Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny. PMM<br> The standard of reference for scholars since the 15th century Holland’s translation made it available to the English speaking world for the first time. Although not strictly scientific itself mingling a good deal of the author's fancy with fact Pliny's NATURALL HISTORIE was important in stimulating scientific thought in succeeding generations. "It is an encyclopedia of all the knowledge of the ancient world set out in an orderly fashion. It was the source of much medieval knowldege--and legend--and the model for such works as the SPECULUM MAJUS of Vincent of Beauvais. The high regard in which it was held in the world of the Renaissance can be seen by its early appearance in print 1472" PMM.<br> The HISTORIE divided into 37 libri or "books" was completed except for finishing touches in 77 CE. In the preface dedicated to Titus who became emperor shortly before Pliny's death Pliny justified the title and explained his purpose on utilitarian grounds as the study of "the nature of things that is life" "Preface" 13. Heretofore he continued no one had attempted to bring together the older scattered material that belonged to "encyclic culture" <br>egkyklios paideia the origin of the word encyclopaedia. Disdaining high literary style and political mythology Pliny adopted a plain style--but one with an unusually rich vocabulary--as best suited to his purpose. A novel feature of the NATURALL HISTORIE is the care taken by Pliny in naming his sources more than 100 of which ae authors and sometimes the titles of the books many of which are now lost from which Pliny derived his material.<br> The HISTORIE properly begins with Book II which is devoted to cosmology and astronomy. Here as elsewhere Pliny demonstrated the extent of his reading especially of Greek texts.<br> Books VII through XI treat zoology beginning with humans VII then mammals and reptiles VIII fishes and other marine aninmals IX birds X and insects XI. In Books XII throuogh XIX on botany Pliny came closest to making great contributions to science. He drew heavily upon Theophrastus and still made important independent observations particularly those made during his travels in Germany. Pliny is one of the chief sources of modern lknowledge of Roman gardens early botanical writings and the introduction into Italy of new horticultural and agricultural discoveries.<br> Born at Como in 23 Pliny died while observing the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. His NATURALIS HISTORIA is a scientific encyclopedia often uncritical but very elaborate and of great value. Pliny attached to each book the list of his authorities 146 Roman and 327 Greek being quoted. He explained that people may be living at the antipodes and stated that the speed of light is greater than that of sound. His work includes the oldest account of ancient art. In addition it contains a remarkable amount of early information on Asia and Africa. Its influence throughout the Middle Ages was very great.<br> This is an especially nice copy of the second offering of the work in English. This issue corrected the many errors of the first English edition. As with the copy listed in the British Museum the first tome has a new title page dated 1635. Further this is a variant issue with “and are to be sold by John Grismond†after Adam Islip on the imprint. Dedicated to Sir Robert Cecil. Printed by Adam Islip and to be sold by John Grismond, in Ivy-lane and to be sold at the Signe of the Gun hardcover
16031168London: Printed by Arnold Hatfield 1603. First Edition. Very good. First complete edition in English containing everything you’d ever want to know of what Romans thought about private daily life. An essential balancing compendium for all the Roman history books the historiographer’s question is always what else was going on. It’s a spectacular read but you better wipe off your magnifying glasses because this book is 1400 pages of well-spaced but small type. Full mottled calf by Riviere & Son signed on the verso of the front free endpaper morocco labels marbled endpapers all edges gilt woodcut initials and headpieces rebacked a few faint scratches tiny chip paper flaw from the title page’s edge but fine and complete with the errata. The condition is exceptional for this book. Ugly copies abound but no copy like ours has sold at auction or in the trade since this one sold at Sotheby’s in 1989 for $4675 expensive then and expensive now but the finest of copies usually are. Ex–James Hale Bates 1845–1901 the American travel writer with his armorial bookplate upside down on the rear endpaper. Ex–The Garden Limited see below their bookplate also upside down next to Bates’ the error in placement certainly made by Bates The Garden owners intentionally followed suit. 4 p.l. 1363 1 pp. 32 leaves. Ref: STC 20063. ESTC S115981. Harris p. 116. Lowndes III 1891. The exalted Elizabethan translator Philemon Holland 1552–1637 was a physician and Latinist whose love of the classics prompted his devotion to rendering ancient authors into the language of Shakespeare and his output was prodigious. His first project was a translation of the Roman historian Livy published in 1600. The next year Holland tackled Pliny’s massive Natural History he also translated significant historical works of Suetonius 1606 and Ammianus Marcellinus 1609. The contents of the Morals are amazing. They confront a wild range of topics embracing fortune exile animal intelligence health advice for newlyweds the education of children benefitting from one’s enemies the value of having few or many friends how to recognize a flatterer and 10 times as many more. And though Catullus’ neoteric poems and some documents survive the primary only other source of the private details of Roman daily life beyond this book is just graffiti on the walls of Roman ruins like at Pompeii. Individual Plutarch treatises had been previously translated into English some more liberally than others but this is the first translation of the entire sequence of essays that make up the “Moralia.†Further the value of the collection is enhanced because Plutarch borrows from lost Greek works some of which would otherwise be unknown to us.<br /> <br /> The modern provenance here is at the zenith. It’s no hyperbole to say that the collection of The Garden Ltd. was the most outstanding American library of notable books put together in the second half of the 20th century. It was comprised of high spots from all periods breathtaking in their impeccable condition. It included the last 1st edition seen of Cervantes’ 1605 Don Quixote and a set of Shakespeare’s 4 folios bought by Dick Manney and then bought by us from Sotheby’s by private treaty in 1991. Does this collection have a backstory It does. Haven O’More was a genial narcissist with an autobiography fattened on bombastic exaggeration. His oft asked question was “Do you know who I am†It should have been “Do you know who I think I am†He found a rich investor Michael Davis and with Davis’ loot he built a staggering library in awe-inspiring condition that he planned to place at the center of his zanily conceived “new sacred city.†But O’More was holding aces and eights and after a public confrontation at Christies over a Gutenberg Bible Davis got bored with O’More’s antics and forced a 1989 sale at Sotheby’s titled The Garden Ltd.
