[Freud, Sigmund].MareMagnum

A collection of 82 works from the library of Sigmund Freud. Various places, 1908-1937.

76 volumes, mostly offprints or articles removed from journals, bound in private wrappers or in the original printed wrappers. Mostly 8vo but including a few specimens in small folio. An ensemble of 82 works from the library of Sigmund Freud, comprising roughly half of the known corpus now in private hands. In his census, the medical historian Gerhard Fichtner established the number of works from Freud's former library now in private ownership at only 166 works, or some 4 percent of his former collection of 3725 titles, the vast majority of which (more than 3,400 books) are today preserved by the Freud Museum in London and the Health Sciences Library in New York. Regarding the privately owned works, "it is noteworthy that Freud (during both the Viennese and London time) bestowed upon Eva Rosenfeld, a friend of Anna Freud, 25 important early items from his library. Amongst the privately owned volumes are also some that surfaced in recent years in the second-hand market. They are predominantly offprints, whose dedications show they once belonged to Freud's library and, as a rule, carry the partially erased stamp of the Psychoanalytic Ambulatorium Vienna. They must have arrived long before Freud's emigration in this library, which was seized and destroyed by the Nazis. Did the erasure of the stamp help to save these items, or did it disguise unauthorized possession? They come from the estate of a German analyst" (Davies/Fichtner, pp. 17f.). Indeed, the nature of some of these erasures - rather constituting overpastings with near-contemporary typed transcriptions of those parts of the text obscured by the stamp (as in David Baumgart's article on Spinoza's image in German and Jewish thought) - would strongly suggest the former reason: such an overpasting would arguably have sufficed to conceal the items' provenance from a cursory examination in 1938, but would not at all be helpful to a collector wishing to obscure a third party's title. - The present ensemble includes articles by 40 different authors from a range of disciplines, including Hugo Bergmann, Eugen Bleuler, Carl Clemen, Josef Friedjung, Heinrich Gomperz, Gustav Hans Graber, Jakob Kläsi, Otto Pötzl, and Isidor Sadger. Two specimens preserve the author's inscription to Freud (by Pötzl); others contain autograph corrections by the author (Sadger). Eighteen items show traces of a removed stamp or inscription. Paper often brittle; some wrappers a little rubbed or chipped, but on the whole very well preserved. Acquired from a Belgian private collection. Detailed list available on request. Cf. Davies/Fichtner (eds.), Freud's Library. A Comprehensive Catalogue (Tübingen/London, 2006).

[Mars].MareMagnum

A collection of views from the spacecrafts Mariner 6, 7, and 9. Washington, DC, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, 1969-1972.

33 original black-and-white NASA photographs (gelatin silver prints), ca. 255 x 203 mm each, with extensive official captions and NASA logo printed on the back in purple ink. Stored within black cardboard binder, photographs in individual transparent sleeves. A collection of original gelatin silver prints showing the surface of the planet Mars, taken by the American robotic space probes Mariner 6, 7, and 9: five photographs taken by Mariner 6 and seven taken by Mariner 7 (1969); the remaining 21 taken by Mariner 9 in 1971-72. All are extensively annotated on the reverse with NASA's printed official photo captions. - Mariner 6 and 7 flew over Mars' equator and south polar regions, analysing the atmosphere and the surface with remote sensors and relaying to Earth hundreds of grayscale pictures. The mission goals were to study the surface and atmosphere of Mars in close flybys, so as to establish the basis for future investigations and to demonstrate and develop technologies required for future Mars missions. Two years later, NASA launched Mariner 8 and 9 - the former crashing into the Atlantic immediately, leaving the single surviving orbiter to perform a mission designed for two. Upon its arrival, NASA scientists were further dismayed to find the planet obscured by thick dust storms. Nevertheless, the mission turned out a complete success: after the dust had settled, the probe managed to send back excellent pictures of the surface. After 349 days in orbit, Mariner 9 had transmitted no fewer than 7329 images, covering 85% of Mars' surface. The images revealed river beds, craters, massive extinct volcanoes (such as Olympus Mons, the largest known volcano in the Solar System), canyons, evidence of wind and water erosion and deposition, weather fronts, and fogs. Mars' moons, Phobos and Deimos, were also photographed. The findings from the mission underpinned the later Viking program. - The exploration of Mars continues: the summer 2020 launch window saw the United Arab Emirates send an orbiter on the Al Amal (Hope) Mars Mission. It arrived in February 2021 to study the Martian atmosphere and weather.

Pomet, Pierre.MareMagnum

A compleat history of druggs. To which is added, what is further observable on the same subject, from Mess. Lemery and Tournefort, divided into three classes, vegetable, animal and mineral; with their use in Physics, Chymistry, Pharmacy, and several other Arts. London, [William Bowyer] for R. and J. Bonwicke, and R. Wilkin [et al.], 1725.

4to. Two vols. in one. (24), 419, (9) pp. Title page printed in black and red. Text in double columns. With 86 numbered engr. plates (often with multiple images per plate). Old panelled calf, neatly rebacked to style with original gilt label laid down, leading edges gilt. Second edition in English, the first having appeared in two volumes in 1712. William Bowyer printed both this second edition (500 copies) and the 1737 third edition. The original French edition was published in 1694, and drew upon Pomet's own travels, as well as his expertise and business as a practicing pharmacist. Contains many notices of oriental medicinal plants and herbs, including the famous "Balsam of Mecca": "The Turks, who go a pilgrimage every year to Mecha, bring from thence a certain dry white balsam, in figure resembling white copperas calcin'd, especially when it is stale. The person who made me a present of about half an ounce, assur'd me, that he brought the same from Mecha liquid, and that the smell is the same as observ'd before. The same person likewise did testify to me that it was as good as Balm of Gilead" (p. 205). - Pomet (1658-99) was appointed druggist to Louis XIV, and in the introductory notes to the online exhibition at the University of Wales, "The Weird World of Pierre Pomet," the curator observes: "Parisian Pierre Pomet's pharmacopoeia [...] was intended not only as a handbook for the medical trade but also as a rough guide to the exotic for armchair travellers. Much of its appeal, then as now, comes from the illustrations which pepper the book: pictures of weird animals and weird people doing weird things in weird countries." - Early bookplate ("IKJ") and ownership signature ("H. Jones"), occasional dusting or minor offsetting. A very good, crisp copy. ESTC T111989. Wellcome IV,142. Garrison-Morton 1827.1 (French ed.). Hunt II, 428 (1712 ed.).
