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.

The letter dated 11 February 1685; pp. 2-22 is a plea for improvement of the deplorable financial state of the defense especially at the land side after the Rampjaar 1672 and the subsequent wars with France which ended in the Peace of Nijmegen in 1678-79.

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
