175 pp.Scarce first Latin edition in the same year as the first edition in the original Dutch of one of the bestsellers of illustrated 17th-century travel literature describing one of the most famous early voyages around the world by Joris van Spilbergen the veteran Dutch East Indies naval officer-turned-pirate undertaken from 1614 to 1618. A short survey of another of the most important early voyages around the world by Schouten and Le Maire in the years 1615 to 1617 is added at the end with drop-title "Navigationes Australes". It reports Le Maire's proof that Tierra del Fuego is an island and his discovery of what is still called the Strait of Le Maire an alternative route to the Pacific. In 1614 the VOC commissioned Spilbergen to sail to the Moluccas with nearly 700 men. Despite the commercial nature of his expedition Spilbergen's six vessels were heavily armed anticipating encounters with silver-laden Spanish vessels. Spilbergen spent two years calling at various Spanish and Portuguese ports along both coasts of South America failing to capture any great amounts of silver or silk from Manila but burning several settlements and emerging triumphant from a naval skirmish just south of Lima.By contrast Le Maire's less mercenary expedition resulted in important discoveries; his exploration of Tierra del Fuego and the Tuamotou Archipelago called into doubt the existence of a massive southern continent until its existance was proved in the 19th century providing a catalyst for Tasman's discovery of New Zealand and Australia. The two expeditions crossed paths in the Dutch East Indies in 1616.Spilbergen's book is also remarkable as an early document of Dutch voyages to the Brazilian coast especially valuable for its detailed account of the stay in the Ilha Grande from October 1614 to January 1615 and in São Vicente in 1615.

16 667 27 2 blank pp.17th-century edition of a so called "book of secrets" compiled by de Swiss physician Johannes Jacob Wecker 1528-1586. The book opens with a dedicatory letter followed by an extensive list of authors. The main work is as the title suggests divided into 17 "books" each devoted more or less to a different subject. Books of secrets were very popular among common people in the 16th and 17th century however this one by Wecker is said to have been owned by most of the professional physicians as well. The work is not simply a pharmacopoeia though it does include many medical recipes for specific ailments for example to cure tooth-ache coughing and bruises. It also includes more practical everyday "secrets" on how to prevent trees from breaking or how to get rid of aphids on the wall and cosmetic recipes. These recipes are complemented by more occult passages on how to light a candle underwater or how to change the white in children's eyes to black.l Krivatsy 12627; VD17 23:295006H; cf.

2 blank 1 1 blank 10 pp. 9 ll. plates.First and only edition of a memorial to the costume and stage designer François Joseph Pfeiffer Jr. 1778-1835 with a biographical sketch by Gerrit van Enst Koning 1794-1853 lithographic portrait lists of his work and coloured lithographs of his stage designs with a poem facing the portrait and each of the stage designs all written for the present book by the famous Dutch author and poet Jacob van Lennep 1802-1868.

Also included is a list of the most important decorations Pfeiffer made for various theatres.

Interesting collection of engraved prints centred around the Great Turkish War 1667-1683 a series of conflicts between the Ottoman Empire and Europe. The collection can be divided into 2 general parts: the first with engraved scenes of the siege of Vienna after Romeyn de Hooghe and the second with nearly a hundred views of the involved cities. This second part contains 5 separate series with views of Lower Hungary Crete and the Maltese Archipelago the Dardanelles and the Aegean archipelago the Strait of Gibraltar and North Africa and the Arabian Peninsula. The series of 14 views of Arabia includes Mecca Jerusalem 2 Bethlehem Kidron Valley Mount Sinai Antiochia the Valley of Terebinthu Hurcasdin near Aleppo the springs of Marah Ramma Valley a valley near Jerusalem with the Mar Elias Monastery and a view of Suez with the mountains of Arabia in the background.The collection was published by Jacob Peeters 1637-1695 and most of the engravings are made after drawings by his brother Johannes or Jan Peeters 1625-1677 best known for his drawings of city views engraved by Merian. Johannes Peeters was a pupil of their eldest brother Bonaventura Peeters a well-known painter and draughtsman and specialized in maritime scenes as well-shown in the present views often depicting harbours with several ships.The number of plates vary from copy to copy but the present collection seems to lack at least 1 plate: the first of the scenes of the siege of Vienna.

Very large engraved plan showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th-century. This engraved representation is all that is left of this cartographical work of art. Wear caused by people walking on the mosaic meant it had to be restored about a hundred years later. When in turn this restoration was damaged the two hemispheres were filled in with plain marble slabs without pictorial representation.The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Slightly wrinkled in the right margin one fold reinforced and a few tiny spots otherwise in very good condition.l Cf.
