In -folio, due voll. legati assieme; pp. (68), 504, (4); (40), 334, (2). Legatura in piena pelle alle armi di Felipe Ramirez Nuñez de Guzmán de Medina, nervi e titolo al dorso. Questa di Basilea del ’32 è considerata l’ultima e migliore edizione nel Cinquecento in latino delle Genealogie [...] che si deve all’umanista strasburghese Jakob Moltzer. Notevoli le illustrazioni genealogiche a piena pagina in quest’opera che, in vita, diede fama a Boccaccio, i cui lavori in volgare erano considerati una produzione minore. Rilegato con i Saturnalia e il commentario al Somnium Scipionis, le due maggiori opere di Macrobio nell’edizione di Camerario. Numerose illustrazioni nel testo fra cui l’incisione del planisfero macrobiano, diviso in zone climatiche, che costituì per circa un millennio il modello geografico terrestre: nella prima riproduzione a stampa di questa mappa, del 1483, le linee climatiche erano dritte, qui per la prima volta sono curve e rimandano a un modello di terra sferica e non piatta. This Basilea 1532’s edition is considered the last and the best latin edition in XVI century of “Genealogie”: it’s due to austrian scholar Jakob Moltzer. The full page genealogic illustrations are remarkable; this work gave a reputation to Boccaccio while he was still alive, and whose works in volgare were then considered a less important production. Bound with the “Saturnalia” and commentary to “Somnium Scipionis”, the most important Macrobio’s works in Camerario edition. Many illustrations in text: between them the macrobian world map, divided in climatical areas, that was for about 1000 years the geografic Earth pattern: in the first printed reproduction of this map, from 1483, the climatical lines were straight, while here they are bent and they suggest a spheric Earth model.

1st Edition. 10 X 13 inch Copper Etching with Colored Outline. In French. Title translates into English as, Map of the Holy Land of the Twelve Tribes Of Israel. Rigobert Bonne (17271794) was one of the most important cartographers of the late 18th century In 1773 Bonne succeeded Jacques Nicolas Bellin as Royal Cartographer to France in the office of the Hydrographer at the Depôt de la Marine. Working in his official capacity, Bonne compiled some of the most detailed and accurate maps of the period. Bonnes work represents an important step in the evolution of the cartographic ideology away from the decorative work of the 17th and early 18th century towards a more detail oriented and practical aesthetic. With regard to the rendering of terrain Bonne maps bear many stylistic similarities to those of his predecessor, Bellin. However, Bonne maps generally abandon such common 18th century decorative features such as hand coloring, elaborate decorative cartouches, and compass roses While mostly focusing on coastal regions, the work of Bonne is highly regarded for its detail, historical importance, and overall aesthetic appeal. (Wikipedia, 2017) This map depicts the important settlements, as well as the regions of the twelve tribes. The Mediterranean coast reaches from Gaza in the south to Sidon in the north.

For that reason, and because so much government documentary material has remained inaccessible, it has been badly neglected by professional historians... Provides a wealth of completely new material... The obscure beginnings of the intervention, November 1917 to August 1918, are thoroughly explained, and the role of Japan and Czechoslovakia Corps in the military strategy of the Allies is examined." - from dust jacket.

Rarissima pianta prospettica della città dal Gianicolo, incisa da Ambrogio Brambilla per il tipografo Girolamo Franzini. Si tratta di una piccola pianta, dipendente da quella che il Brambilla stesso incise per Claudio Duchetti nel 1582, aggiornata in parte alla riforma urbanistica di Sisto V. Sono raffigurati gli obelischi di S. Pietro, S. Giovanni e S. M. Maggiore e la via Nova. L’opera è di grandissima rarità; Hülsen (1915) descrive due esemplari nei cataloghi di inizio secolo delle librerie antiquarie romane Rappaport e Lang. Marigliani (2007) riproduce l’esemplare di una collezione privata romana, con una legenda è molto nutrita, addirittura stampata su una lastra separata; è composta da 136 rimandi, dei quali i primi 114 derivano dalla pianta del 1582.In alto, nel riquadro di sinistra, troviamo il titolo e le indicazioni editoriali: NOVA URBIS ROMAE DESCRIPTIO ANNI 1587. Per Ambrosiu s brambilla spictore[m] delineatu s et incisa m. Nel riquadro di destra si legge: Roma fu edifficata gl’anni del mondo 5550 e da poi la destruttione de Troia anni 753 da Romolo, e Remo, fratelli nati da Silvia figliola de Numitore Re de Albano: fu anticame[n]te il suo circuito de le mura miglia 32.Orientazione nei quattro lati al centro con il nome dei punti cardinali: SEPTENTRIO, MERIDIES, OCCIDENS, ORIENS, il nord è a sinistra.

A very rare map of the city from the Janiculum Hill, engraved by Ambrogio Brambilla for the publisher Girolamo Franzini. It is a small map, based on the one that Brambilla himself engraved for Claudio Duchetti in 1582, partly updated to the urban reform of Sixtus V. The obelisks of S. Pietro, S. Giovanni and S. M. Maggiore and the via Nova are represented. The work is of great rarity; Hülsen (1915) describes two examples in the catalogs of the beginning of the century of the Roman antique bookshops Rappaport and Lang. Marigliani (2007) reproduces the exemple of a private Roman collection, with a very large legend, even printed on a separate plate; it is composed of 136 references, of which the first 114 derive from the map of 1582.Above, in the left box, we find the title and the printing details: NOVA URBIS ROMAE DESCRIPTIO ANNI 1587. For Ambrosiu s brambilla spictore[m] delineatu s et incisa m. Orientation in the four sides with the name of the cardinal points: SEPTENTRIO, MERIDIES, OCCIDENS, ORIENS, the north is on the left.
