Quaresmio was a writer and Orientalist of the seventeenth century. His father was the noble Alberto Quaresmi and his mother Laura Papa. At an early age he was enrolled among the Franciscan Observantines at Mantua. For many years he held the chairs of philosophy theology and canon law and became successively guardian custos and minister of his province. His long apostolate in the East and the magnificent works he has left us have secured Quaresmius worldwide fame especially among earlier historians Biblical scholars and Orientalists. On 3 March 1616 he went to Jerusalem where he became Guardian and Vice-Commissary Apostolic of Aleppo in Syria 1616-8 and Superior and Commissary Apostolic of the East 1618-9. During this period he was twice imprisoned by the Turks. In 1620 he returned to Europe but in 1625 was back in Jerusalem whence the following year he addressed from the Holy Sepulchre an appeal to Philip IV of Spain inviting him to reconquer the Holy Land and at the same time dedicating to him his work "Hierosolymæ afflictæ". Between 1616 and 1626 he wrote his classical work "Elucidatio terræ Sanctæ" adjudged by the learned a monumental contribution to history geography archæology Biblical and moral science. During 1627-9 he was at Aleppo as papal commissary and as vicar-patriarch for the Chaldeans and Maronites of Syria and Mesopotamia. In 1629 he went to Italy to render an account to the Holy See of the state of the Eastern Churches; he then returned to the East but how long he remained is not known. Meanwhile he journeyed through Egypt and Sinai the Holy Land Syria Mesopotamia Cyprus Rodi Constantinople and a large part of Asia Minor; he also visited Germany France Belgium and Holland. In 1637 he was a guardian of S. Angelo Milan wherein 1643 he completed his other great work on the Passion of Christ. Original 1/3 black leather bdg. Six raised bands to spine. Marbled endpapers.

Simeon Ackroyd Shaw 1785 - 1859 was a 19th-century English scientific writer industrial historian and teacher. He spent his working life in the Staffordshire Potteries now the city of Stoke-on-Trent England.

After some 20 years of newspaper and printing work living in Wolstanton he then went into teaching. He ran several teaching academies in the district. His first book was this 6-volume work which was based on his obviously very comprehensive series of popular short lectures on everything from natural species to meteorites. First Edition. Boards.

Sabin 22917. The author of this work James Pollard Espy nicknamed "The Storm King" for his classic book The Philosophy of Storms was the first Meteorologist of the US Government pioneering in the use of the telegraph to assemble weather observation data. Espy designed the first American weather map for a private scientific institute in 1838 before he moved to Washington. His first official meteorological report was published in 1843 but apparently included no maps. So the 100 "Charts" in this second report represent the first weather maps published by the US Government. . Government Printing Office hardcover

Janssen discovered helium in the sun when he observed a total eclipse in India by studying the spectra of the suns chromosphere and Lockyer also by spectroscopy found that the new line in the spectrum did not belong to any element then known and he named it Helium for the sun.In the same volume as Ramsays paper there are 5 papers by NORMAN LOCKYER dealing with the discovery of Helium on the earth examining Ramsay's and Cleve's findings.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1895. </em> hardcover
