In 12° (13,1×7,4 cm); tre tomi in un volume: (16), 114, (14) pp. e una c. di tav. più volte ripiegata (rilegato nella seconda parte), 40 pp., (16), 148, (2), 17, (9) pp. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena rigida con titolo manoscritto al dorso. Bellissima antiporta figurata alla prima opera. Testatine, finalini ed iniziali xilografiche. Prima edizione completa, un’edizione precedente dove era presente solo il primo volume, uscì nel 1647 e priva anche di parte delle illustrazioni. Bartholin Thomas e Ole Worm sono stati due dei medici e professori più famosi della Danimarca del seicento dando grandi contributi alla medicina mondiale. Bartholin in particolare portò avanti le ricerche di Harvey sulla circolazione sanguigna e diventando uno dei pionieri dell’analisi del sistema linfatico. Ma unire i due grandi studiosi era la passione per la storia e l’archeologia mettendo insieme due delle più ampie ed interessanti collezioni di reperti archeologici e curiosità d’Europa. L’opera qui presentata, completa di tutte le sue parti, è uno dei più importanti repertori sui braccialetti, gioielli, monili antichi pubblicati fino a quel momento. Ricchissimo di immagini, il volume descrive dettagliatamente diversi gioielli antichi nella loro forma, materiale, utilizzo e valore rituale. Per i numerosi riferimenti ai simboli segreti di alcuni gioielli l’opera è citata anche nella Biblioteca Esoterica n. 233 “est question dans cet ouvrage… non seulement de la licorne, mais aussi d’animaux cornus et de monstres humains, par exemple de François Trouillet qui vivait aux environs de 1599 et avait au milieu du front une véritable corne de bélier”. Infatti Worm fu uno dei principali sostenitori del fatto che i corni venduti come corni di Unicorno fossero in verità corni di Narvalo. Curioso però notare che Worm fece esperimenti per testare le qualità magiche curative dei corni arrivando a concludere che essi avevano la capacità di combattere gli avvelenamenti se ingeritisbriciolati. Esemplare i ottime condizioni di conservazione. A very goog copy. Rif. Bibl.: Bibl. Danica II:446 (third edition). – Inavribus…Bibl. Danica II:446 (second edition). – Antiquitatum…Bibl. Danica II:445 (third edition).

[SWEDISH GYMNASTICS AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION SYSTEM IN TURKEY / FINE OTTOMAN BINDING] Bize meçhûl hayatlar: Isveç'te gördüklerim. [i.e. What I saw in Sweden].

The reverse side of the first pages including the portrait of Gustav V has a letter by Selim Sirri Tarcan bilingual in Swedish and Ottoman Turkish sent to Gustaf V, The King of Sweden, written in Pangalti, Constantinople. The book has a brilliant travel account to Sweden from a Turkish perspective. Only three institutional copies in Turkey (2) and Netherlands (1, Leiden) libraries in OCLC: 949541692.; Özege 2474. First and Only Edition. Swedish gymnastics gained institutional structure by the courtesy of Ling in the early 19th century and forced the dominance areas of German, French, and British systems, which were used in school physical education in Europe from the middle of the century, due to their fully defined and justified pedagogical, psychological, military and medical functions, and increased its impact in a short time. Civil or military personnel sent by European governments received education in Stockholm's Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics, which provided Swedish gymnastics education from 1813, and proved to be the most important, leading, and exemplary institution of its genre. On their return to their homelands, they pioneered and tried to introduce Swedish gymnastics in/into their own countries. Military and political conditions in his country would turn a soldier-engineer into a physical educator and pave the way for Selim Sirri Tarcan's travel to Sweden in 1909. German Gymnastics (Turnen) based French Amoros Gymnastics is one of the physical education movements which Turkey met after political reforms of 1839 (Tanzimat) and it was incorporated into first military school then civil school curricula as from mid-19th century. Selim Sirri Tarcan encountered this apparatus gymnastics course at Mekteb-i Sultani (today Galatasaray High School), whose curriculum was created according to the French system and came to the forefront with his skills. After his graduation from Military Engineering School, he put effort into teaching and promotion via media of this gymnastics, rather than dealing with his military duties. However, the posture caused by his muscular body he developed by strength exercises and liked to show on every occasion, and his general health problems would make him question the gymnastics system he was governed by. The problem was also in Europe's agenda, and physical education entered the area of interest of public health policies, and the opinion that it is the most convenient and economical means to improve individual and public health became widespread, which popularized Swedish gymnastics appealing to this field. As of the late-19th century, Swedish-style gymnastics began to be promoted by medical-gymnastics institutes founded in the Ottoman capital as well as by published articles on this system by physicians and intellectuals knowledgeable on a sport-health relationship. Selim Sirri Bey, who was also attracted by Swedish gymnastics, turned his penalty of being sent abroad due to his active participation as a soldier in the constitutional movement of 1908 to opportunity and asked authorities to send him to Stockholm's Royal Central Institute of Gymnastics. During his higher education on gymnastics, he was also impressed by Sweden's healthy social structure into which physical education was integrated, heard of Zander, whose therapeutic gymnastics exercises were being applied in clinics opened on his behalf in European cities, and took medical gymnastics and massage classes at Zander's clinic in Stockholm. Selim Sirri Bey recognized pedagogical and scie

Breviarium Equestre, seu De Illustrissimo & Inclytissimo Equestri Ordine Elephantino

In -folio, pp. (6), 104, (1), XIV tavole a piena pagina, una ripiegata; illustrazioni nel testo. Cartonato posteriore, copia a pieni margini, qualche strappetto restaurato e lievi macchie di umidità. Ex libris manoscritto Biblioteca Pinelli, 1789, al margine superiore del frontespizio; altre note di possesso successive riportate sul foglio di guardia. Alcune delle tavole sono state rilegate in disordine ma il libro è completo anche del foglio di errata alla fine (in alcuni esemplari l’errata precede p. 3). L’ordine dell’Elefante è il più alto ordine cavalleresco danese, conferito per tradizione solo ai capi di stato, con rare eccezioni fra cui l’astronomo Tycho Brahe, lo scienziato Niels Bohr e il Generale Montgomery successivamente alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il libro è un trentennale lavoro di raccolta di materiali sulla storia dell’ordine e sulla sua iconografia, ricerca estesa all’iconografia dell’elefante in generale (si veda la tav. I che riproduce insegne, monete, sculture raffiguranti l’elefante o afferenti a esso - c’è anche la scultura sottostante al noto obelisco del Bernini), materia della quale questo libro costituisce un esempio a suo modo unico e irripetibile. Some of the plates have been misplaced in bound but the book is complete also of the errata leaf at the end. The Elephant one is the highest herald order in Denmark, given only to heads of State, with rare exceptions (as, for instance, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe). The book comes from a 30 years research and collection of stuff about the history of this order and its iconography. In a wider sense the book can be considered an original research on elephant iconography, a matter of which this book is a unique example.
