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. Thorndike VI pp. 215-216. unknown
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. Pfeiffer was best known for his Romantic stage designs for the Amsterdam Schouwburg city theatre. From 1820 to 1835 he created complete decors for many different plays but none has survived. The lithographs in the present book therefore form an essential primary source for the history of Dutch theatre. Also included is a list of the most important decorations Pfeiffer made for various theatres. A good copy with a few plates lightly browned the leaf on which the portrait is mounted foxed and a few occasional minor stains. Binding slightly faded. An important primary source for the history of Dutch stage design and a feast for the eye with its beautiful hand-coloured stage designs.l NCC 5 copies; Thieme & Becker XXVI p. 528; Waller p. 253. unknown

Although he published nothing until he was forty years old he was very prolific for the rest of his long life. He wrote for a broad public and many of his works were illustrated with emblematic copperplates by the greatest Dutch artists especially Adriaen van de Venne responsible for many plates in the present edition. The book includes Cats's Proteus of Sinne- en minnebeelden 1618 Houwelyck 1625 Spiegel 1631 and many more. Works like these delivered him the name "father Cats" due to the educational and pedagogical character of his texts.The binding can be ascribed to the so-called "star bindery". "The bindery was situated in The Hague and had a wide clientele within and far outside the town" Storm van Leeuwen and is known for its prize and presentation bindings including several presented to William V Prince of Orange or members of his family. With some tears in the outer margins not affecting the text or illustrations occasional spots and marginal thumbing lower margin of pages 123-130 of Buyten-leven op Sorghvliet damaged: otherwise good.

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.
