165815329Haarlem 1658. Engraving. Printed on laid paper. Collector's mark on verso of sheet. In excellent condition. Image size: 15 3/4 x 11 1/2 inches. This striking engraving comes from a series of portraits executed by Cornelis de Visscher one of the greatest seventeenth century Dutch engravers.<br/> <br/> Visscher was born in Haarlem between 1628 and 1629 and remained in the city for his whole life. He studied the art of engraving from Pieter Soutman one of the most celebrated printmakers of the Dutch School. In 1653 he entered the Haarlem guild and earned a reputation as a talented and precise engraver. A prolific printmaker Visscher published maps and charts as well as decorative plates but it is for his lovingly etched portraits that he is best remembered. This handsome portrait is a superb example of his considerable skill. Ada's life as the Countess of Holland in the early 13th century exemplifies the challenges faced by women in positions of power throughout history. As the only surviving daughter of Count Dirk VII of Holland and Adelaide of Cleves Ada inherited her father's title. However her uncle William I quickly contested her right to rule setting the stage for a tumultuous period in Holland's history. To strengthen her position Ada married Count Louis II of Loon. This strategic union caused scandal particularly as it took place even before her father's burial. The tension between Ada and her uncle erupted into the Loon War which lasted from 1203 to 1206. Unfortunately Ada was captured by William's supporters and imprisoned in various locations including in England. However her resilience and determination allowed her to regain her freedom in 1206 and she and Louis returned to Loon. Their rule was brief as Emperor Otto IV declared that William had a stronger claim to the title of Count of Holland in 1208. The lines of Latin verse below the portrait is in the first person giving voice to Ada to tell her own story of following her father's footsteps fighting with leaders alongside her husband Louis and to emphasize her experience as a foemina or "woman." From the collection of Frederic R. Halsey a famous New York print collector who was active during the latter part of the 19th century.<br/> <br/> Benezit Dictionnaire des Peintres Sculpteurs Dessinateurs et Graveurs; Lugt Les Marques de Collections 1308. unknown

Dutch protestant Republic. Since it was impossible to establish a seminary in Holland at that time, Rovenius was convinced that publications such as his "Institutiones christianae pietatis" could contribute in great part to the 'devotional education' of (future) priests (and lay man).

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–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.

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.

An impressive book. “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… It comprises 37 books with mathematics and physics geography and astronomy medicine and zoology anthropology and physiology philosophy and history agriculture and mineralogy the arts and letters… The ‘Historia’ soon became a standard book of reference; abstracts and abridgements 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 Isidore's 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 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… Over and over again it will be found that the source of some ancient piece of knowledge is Pliny.†PMM 5 “Holland's first book the first complete rendering of Livy into English was published in 1600 when he was nearly fifty. It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the queen. … “The Livy was followed in the next year by an equally huge translation of the elder Pliny: The Historie of the World Commonly called the Naturall Historie. This encyclopaedia of ancient knowledge about the natural world had already had a great indirect influence in England as elsewhere in Europe but had not been translated into English before and would not be again for 250 years.â€ODNB Pforzheimer 496; STC 2nd ed. 20029 Impensis G.
