1664ABC_49305Amsterdam: Jacobus van der Fuyck 1664. Disbound loosely inserted in 20th-century plain brown paper wrappers. 4to. With a woodcut vignette on the title page and 2 decorated woodcut initials. Rare second edition under a different title of an eyewitness report of the dramatic shipwreck of the Arnhem a Dutch East Indiaman built in 1654 for the VOC. The report was written by Simon van den Kerkhoven a religious comforter to the sick Siecken-trooster on board and one of the shipwreck's survivors. The "ziekentrooster" was a religious office within the Dutch Protestant church in the 16th- to 20th centuries. Generally the person fulfilling its duty was not an official member of the clergy but when in service of the major trading companies VOC and WIC they received a special status which permitted them to perform clerical duties like administering the sacraments.The account of the shipwreck of the Arnhem was first published in Middelburg by Jacques Fierens in 1663 under the title: Historisch verhael der wonderlike ende seer zeldsame voor-vallen den gene bejegent die met het retour-schip Aernhem van Batavia na het vaderland verreist zyn den 23 decem. 1661. The present second edition claims on the title page that the name of the author is Johannes van Kerckhoven this appears to be a mistake as both the first edition the present preface and the signature at the end of the account in the present pamphlet mention Simon van den Kerkhoven. Another difference between the two editions can be found in the preliminaries: the dedication to the directors of the Zeeland chamber of the VOC is replaced by a rhymed preface in Dutch titled and signed Aen den leser door Simon van den Kerckhoven van Middelburgh; secken-trooster.On 23 December 1661 the Dutch East Indiaman Arnhem left Batavia in the Dutch East Indies now Jakarta Indonesia and set sail for the Low Countries together with 6 other ships under the command of the Dutch Admiral Arnold de Vlamingh van Oudtshoorn 1618-1662. In February 1662 on their way to Cape of Good Hope the fleet was caught in a storm and was scattered. Three ships disappeared without a trace while the Arnhem ran aground on the Cargados Carajos shoals in the Indian Ocean. Most of the crew managed to leave the ship in a small boat carrying 12 and a larger vessel carrying about 100 both headed for Mauritius many died on that journey and once back ashore the group further diminished and scattered in their attempt to survive. The surviving crew were able to leave Mauritius in small groups by boarding ships calling at the victualing station on the island. Curiously the surviving crew members of the Arnhem are now presumed to have been the last people to have seen live dodos.One of the survivors Dutch sailor Andries Stokram published the first report of this shipwreck in May 1663 in which the officers were blamed for the ship's sinking. They were also held responsible for putting men overboard from the lifeboat. Another survivor the Dutch bookkeeper Johan van Hal refuted these accusations in his report which was also published in 1663. In this same year Van den Kerkhovens report appeared in which he supported the charges of Stokram and held the officers responsible.The paper wrapper is damaged along the fold of the spine internally occasionally slightly browned. Otherwise in good condition.l Cat.

Full calf banded title on red morocco label old signature on t.p. Minor wear to edges of spine and rubbing at corners. Lacks license leaf text complete. Degge Sir Simon 1612Ã1703 judge. Degge resumed his legal studies and was called to the bar on 24 November 1653. He practiced as a civilian lawyer in Doctors' Commons. In 1660 he became puisne judge of Carmarthen circuit and two years later a justice of the Welsh marches. Both places he retained until 1674. In 1661 he became recorder of Derby and in 1662 steward of the court of the manor of Peverel. He was elected a bencher of the Inner Temple on 7 November 1668 but he was ÔdisbenchedÕ in 1674 for refusing to read at the next Lent vacation. He was knighted on 2 March 1670. Degge served as high sheriff of Derbyshire in 1674Ã5 and the following year published The Parson's Counsellor with Law of Tithes or Tithing a leading textbook on the subject for many years. Degge was a committed tory and during the reign of James II freely consented to the Ôthree questionsÕ posed by the king's agents. This led to some royal support for a parliamentary candidature in 1688 but it did not lead to Degge having any truck with dissenters as he refused to let Derby's dissenters meet despite the declaration of indulgence.

He had also written a study on the Eastern Churches which was translated into English and published under the title "The Critical History of the Religious and Customs of the Eastern Nations" in London in 1685. In this book Simon devoted Chapters V and VI to "the Belief and Customs of the Georgians or Iberians and of those of Colchis of Mangrelia" Note that 'Eastern Religions' in this context referrs to ther Eastern Christian churches of Southeastern Europe and the Middle East.

Rare in the trade. Richard Simon 1638–1712 was a French Oratorian priest biblical scholar and pioneer of modern critical study of Scripture. His landmark work Histoire critique du Vieux Testament 1678 applied historical and philological analysis to the Bible arguing that it reflected multiple sources and editorial traditions. Condemned by church authorities and briefly suppressed the book nonetheless influenced Enlightenment thinkers and later biblical criticism; and he also in this work examined the rites and beliefs of Jews Muslims and Asian peoples to illuminate parallels and contrasts with Christian practices. His goal was to show that religious ceremonies everywhere arose from common human needs and historical conditions rather than divine revelation alone. This comparative approach placed Simon among the early founders of the study of comparative religion and anthropology in early modern Europe. J. Heptinstall hardcover

1618L4OBDGT3RAY7Amsterdam: Claes Jansz. Visscher 1618. Large 1mo broadsheet 66.5 x 46.5 cm with engraved illustration 53 x 45.5 cm at the head with Visscher's name in the plate at lower right and a letterpress verse text below. Impressive large allegorical print of the defeat of the Arminians at the Synod of Dort in 1618 here in the rare first Visscher state. The publisher and engraver Claes Jansz. Visscher heavily reworked the plate of an earlier print by Simon Frisius commemorating the Dutch-Spanish truce of 1609 entitled: Pyramis pacifica. He revised the image so extensively that his revision is often treated as a separate work making the present version its first state. It is the most spectacular print to come out of the Arminian controversy. A more common much smaller and less impressive engraving was also published.A heated theological and political conflict had raged in the Low Countries between the Arminians from 1610 also called Remonstrants and Gomarists for more than a decade when it came to a head with the Synod of Dort 1618/19 which decided in favour of the Gomarists. The Synod led to the 1619 execution of the Republics greatest statesman Johan van Oldenbarnevelt who had supported the Arminian cause. In revenge his sons Reinier and Willem conspired to assassinate the Gomarist Dutch stadholder Maurits of Nassau Prince of Orange. Other prominent members of Dutch society who had political religious or personal grudges against the Prince lent their support. The plot was betrayed in February 1623 and the conspirators arrested and executed from March to May.A corner at the foot torn off and replaced with blank paper with the loss of most of the imprint and the ends of the last 8 lines of verse. Further with a few spots and tiny holes and small restored tears but generally in good condition and still attractive.l Atlas van Stolk 1347; Hollstein XXXVIII p. 21 no. 29 state III 4 copies; Muller Historieplaten 1329a zeldzaam.
