( LORIOT, Antoine Joseph )
Memoria utilissima Sopra una nuova scoperta nell'arte di fabbricare la quale consiste nella composizione di un cemento o smalto adattato ad un'infinità di opere in tal genere, e di una solidità e durata non inferiore a quello dei romani, ritrovata dal sig. Loriot meccanico del Re di Francia e di suo ordine pubblicata a Parigi. Ed ora per la terza volta tradotta nell'Idioma Toscano.
In -8°, 17 x 23 cm., pp. 23, 3 ccb.; mezza pergamena. Antoine-Joseph Loriot (Pontarlier, 1716-1782) pubblicò a Parigi nel 1774 il procedimento da lui messo a punto per produrre questo particolare tipo di cemento. Si contano diverse edizioni italiane del testo, ma nelle biblioteche italiane risultano presenti solo la prima (1775) e la quarta (1800). Raro.

Afhandling om Strömsholms Canal och Slusswärk. Uppsala, Johan Fredrik Edman, 1797.
4to. (6), 36, (4) pp. With a folding table and a folding engraved map in hand colour, 147 cms in length. Modern marbled boards. First monograph about the just-completed Strömsholm Canal connecting Grangärde (in Dalarna, middle Sweden) with Strömsholm on Lake Mälaren, from where ships have easy access to Stockholm. Work on the 62-mile canal, intended to facilitate transport for the numerous steel works along the waterway, had begun in 1772: based on plans by Johan Ullström, a series of lakes were connected by short canals and a total of 25 locks. The fine map, nearly one and a half metres long, shows the entire stretch of the structure. Earlier the same year, the author Magnus Schenström (1775-1848) had published an eight-page Latin dissertation "De canalibus et catarractis in Svecia generatim, speciatim vero Strömsholmensibus", which he subsequently expanded into the present account of the canal. - Some slight marginal waterstaining, but a good, wide-margined copy. Rare; only four copies listed in OCLC (Baker Library-Harvard Business School; National Library of Sweden; Danish National Library; Staatsbib. Berlin). OCLC 186273921.

Maunsell & Partners Melbourne. G. Maunsell & Partners London cover title
Melbourne: Maunsell & Partners 1967. First Edition. Paperback. Melbourne Maunsell & Partners circa.1967. Small oblong quarto 200 � 250 mm 34 pages plus 21 original full-page photographs of the firm's architectural achievements each with a descriptive caption printed on a leaf cut to one-third full size. Plastic-comb-bound flush-cut plain card covers loosely inserted in endpockets in a dark blue thick plastic cover; photographic prints a little curled towards the leading edge; in excellent condition. Primarily a self-promotional record of 'principal projects either in hand' or recently completed by G. Maunsell & Partners and its allied Australian firm Maunsell & Partners established in 1965 from a branch office set up in Melbourne in 1957. 'Throughout the 1970s 80s and 90s the practice established a worldwide reputation especially through its network of offices in Australia Hong Kong and the UK. By the late 1990s it was the third largest civil engineering consultancy for transportation in the world. In May 2000 the company became part of the AECOM organisation' Engineering Timelines online. They were pioneers of the use of prestressed concrete in major bridges and this 'brag book' captures the companies in a purple patch. In Australia alone there were some 19 bridges and four docks all completed within a decade of the company establishing itself in the country. More than half the photographs relate to Australian projects: the Narrows Bridge Perth; the King's Avenue Bridge Canberra two plates; the Gladesville Bridge Sydney two plates; the Tasman Bridge Hobart two plates; the 'Empress of Australia' Terminal Sydney; and the standardisation of gauge project for the Western Australian Railways three plates.

[Chiarugi, Vincenzo].
Regolamento dei Regi Spedali di Santa Maria Nuova e di Bonifazio. Florence, Gaetano Cambiagi, 1789.
4to. LXXVIII, (2), 416, (84) pp., including 27 letterpress tables. With engraved armorial title vignette and 9 (instead of 10) engraved folding plates. Contemporary half vellum over marbled boards with giltstamped calf spine label. First edition of the pioneering regulations for two Florence hospitals, marking "the first appearance in print of [Chiarugi's] landmark reforms in the humane treatment of the mentally ill" (Garrison/M.). - In 1774 Grand Duke Peter Leopold of Tuscany (later Emperor Leopold II) promulgated Europe's first law concerning the hospitalization of persons recognized as being insane, and several years later he undertook to build a new hospital for the mentally ill. In 1875 the young physician Vincenzo Chiarugi, who had studied at the University of Pisa and then at the hospital of Santa Maria Novella in Florence, was given responsibility to plan the new hospital of San Bonifacio, which opened in 1788. The following year the regulations of the hospital were published, together with the statutes of the hospital of Santa Maria Nuova. The regulations reflect Chiarugi's pioneering attitude towards the treatment of the insane: "A detailed history was required for each patient admitted to the hospital. The hospital was built to meet high hygienic standards, men were separated from women, and the rooms and furniture offered full protection to the patients [...] under no circumstances could force be used on patients, and the only methods of restriction allowed were strait jackets and strips of reinforced cotton, in order to prevent impairment in the patient's circulation" (Mora). - The fine plates, carried out by G. Cecchi, G. Salvetti and others, include plans of the premises of both hospitals, images of the kitchen and heating system, and views of the facade, as well as an organisational chart for both hospitals combined. - Lacks the engraved frontispiece. Extremities and spine-label slightly rubbed; small defect to vellum at lower spine. Front view of the Bonifazio hospital with a larger tear; several plates show small tears, occasionally affecting image. Occasional light foxing throughout. A good copy of this landmark work.

[DNA structure]. Crick, Francis; Watson, James Dewey; and others.
The milestone papers on the structure of DNA in "Nature", vols. 171 and 172. London, Macmillan, 1953.
4to (180 x 256 mm). 5 issues, 222 pp. altogether. Extracts bound together in a single volume without original wrappers. Modern red cloth with giltstamped cover title. All the five issues of "Nature" in which, between February and October 1953, the crucial papers were published that revealed to the world the double-helix structure of DNA. Some of the various authors were collaborators, others competitors, and while the credit for the discovery is today almost entirely attached to the names of Crick and Watson, their breakthrough depended on experimental work done by all the other scientists whose relevant papers were published in the same journal and are also here included. - The papers comprise, individually: - a) Pauling, L. and Corey, R. B. Structure of the Nucleic Acids (Nature 171, No. 4347, 21 Feb. 1953, p. 346). - b) Watson, J. D. and Crick, F. H. C. Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (No. 4356, 25 April 1953; p. 737f.). - c) Wilkins, M. H. F., Stokes, A. R. and Wilson, H. R. Molecular Structure of Deoxypentose Nucleic Acids (p. 738-740). - d) Franklin, R. E. and Gosling, R. E. Molecular Configuration in Sodium Thymonucleate (p. 740f.). - e) Watson, J. D. and Crick, F. H. C. Genetical Implications of the Structure of Deoxyribonucleic Acid (No. 4361, 30 May 1953, p. 964-967). - f) Franklin, R. E. and Gosling, R. G. Evidence for 2-Chain Helix in Crystalline Structure of Sodium Deoxyribonucleate (Vol. 172, No. 4369, 25 July 1953, p. 156f.). - g) Wilkins, M. H. F., Seeds, W. E., Stokes, A. R. and Wilson, H. R. Helical Structure of Crystalline Deoxypentose Nucleic Acid (No. 4382, 24 Oct. 1953, p. 759-762). - Together these papers provide the single most important advance in biology since Darwin's theory. The first, by America's leading chemist of his age, Linus Pauling, ultimately contributed least because Pauling's theory erroneously suggested a triple-helix structure. "Instead, victory fell to an unlikely quartet of scientists in England who didn't work as a team, often weren't on speaking terms, and were for the most part novices in the field" (Bryson, A Short History of Nearly Everything, p. 487f.). These were the American wunderkind James Watson and his older colleage Francis Crick at Cambridge; the brilliant but often overlooked Rosalind Franklin (with her student Raymond Gosling), working at King's College London; and the New Zealand-born Maurice Wilkins, also at King's but who communicated to the competition at Cambridge Franklin's key findings - particularly, an X-ray photograph showing the DNA molecule's basic shape and dimensions, which provided Watson and Crick with the crucial clue. It was by then known that "DNA had four chemical components - called adenine, guanine, cytosine and thiamine - and that these paired up in particular ways. By playing with pieces of cardboard cut into the shapes of molecules, Watson and Crick were able to work out how the pieces fit together. From this they made a Meccano-like model - perhaps the most famous in modern science - consisting of metal plates bolted together in a spiral, and invited Wilkins, Franklin and the rest of the world to have a look. Any informed person could see at once that they had solved the problem. It was without question a brilliant piece of detective work" (Bryson, p. 491f.). Less than two months later, their paper, "Molecular Structure of Nucleic Acids: A Structure for Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid", appeared in "Nature". Franklin's own paper, in the same issue, shows the now-famous X-ray diffraction image of DNA fiber and pointedly concedes that "our general ideas are not inconsistent with the model proposed by Watson and Crick in the preceding communication" (vol. 171, p. 741). - For the discovery of the DNA double helix, Crick, Watson, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in Physiology. Franklin had passed away four year earlier at the age of 37, a victim of the X-rays to which she had over-exposed herself in her work. - Tightly bound and in excellent condition throughout.

[Farsi spiritual tales].
Persian illuminated manuscript. [North-Western India?, ca. 1860s].
4to (167 x 215 mm). Persian illuminated manuscript on paper. 31 ff., written on both sides, 11 lines per extensum. Black ink with rubricated titles, written in a thin and very cursive Indian nastaliq style tending already to perform the "shorthand" writing infractions of the shekasteh ("broken") variety. With a coloured headpiece and 10 full-page coloured illustrations. Blindstamped red leather with reinforced spine. A prose work of anecdotal moral tales, most likely from North-Western India (now Pakistan) from the mid or third quarter of the 19th century. Untitled and without a colophon or marginalia, beginning abruptly, it appears to be incomplete, despite the conventional presence of an - apparently overpainted - headpiece of the sarlawh type. - Unlike similar Persian allegorical prose works, whose tales revolve mostly around allegorical animal characters, this narrative, oriented towards moral and spiritual instruction, appears to be inspired on the one hand by Saadi’s gently ironic works such as "Gulestan". Divided into several chapters, or "abvab", it focuses on the moral analysis of human deeds and intentions, informed by Indian Sufi spiritual tradition. - The scene is set in an exquisitely Indian historical context: the text mentions a "raj" (Hindu king), and the Mughal Empire also make an appearance with the protagonist of the final tale, Alamgir Padshah (the "World-Seizing Emperor", likely the Mughal ruler Awrangzeb, who reigned 1658-1707), encountering a certain Mard-i murtaz (a spiritually well-versed man). The manuscript is embellished by full-page miniatures, one depicting a hunting scene, another illustrating a valiant horseman slaying a dragon-like monster. The illustrations are colourful and lively, if conventional in their disposition of the human figures and landscape before a background without depth.

[Freud, Sigmund].
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).

Theoretische Medicin [...] IV. V. Theil, enthaltend Diätetik, Materia medica u. Receptirkunst. Innsbruck, 1834.
Deutsche Handschrift auf Papier. (1) S., 3 w. SS., 294, (18), 311 SS., eine w. Seite, (4) SS., 2 w. Bll. Ungebundene Bögen. 4to (190 x 230 mm). Saubere Vorlesungsmitschrift der einführenden medizinischen Lehrveranstaltung an der Universität Innsbruck, gehalten von Franz Karl Karpe, der von 1818 bis zu seinem Tod Professor für Theoretische Medizin bzw. 1823/24 und 1833 Rektor der Medizinischen Universität Innsbruck war. Im Vorlesungsverzeichnis für das Jahr 1834 scheint die Lehrveranstaltung auf unter dem Titel "Ueber Encyclopädie und Methodologie, als eine Einleitung in das medicinisch-chirurgische Studium, ferner über theoretische Medicin, nämlich: Physiologie, allgemeine Pathologie und allgemeine Therapie; dann über Diätetik, medicinische und chirurgische Arzneimittel-Lehre und Receptirkunst, nach Nushard". Grundlage für die Vorlesung war das zweibändige Lehrbuch "Theoretische Medicin für Wundärzte" (Prag, 1824-26) des Mediziners Franz Willibald Nusshard (1785-1847), der während der Choleraepidemie von 1831/32 gemeinsam mit Julius Vincenz von Krombholz die Lazarette in Prag leitete und 1843 zum Direktor aller dortigen Krankenhäuser und Versorgungsinstitutionen ernannt wurde. - Die Mitschrift zur Physiologie, Pathologie und Therapie (311 SS.) ohne separates Titelblatt. Mit 18 SS. über Heilquellen in Tirol und Vorarlberg, eine Aufzählung, die sich in der Dissertation des Mediziners Johann Georg Gmeiner (Wien 1838) wiederfindet. - Papierbedingt etwas gebräunt; vereinzelte Randläsuren; wenige Seiten mit leichem Wurmfraß nahe der rechten oberen Ecke. Mit auffallend wenigen Korrekturen. - Eine frühere Mitschrift zu Karpes Vorlesung aus dem Jahr 1827 befindet sich in der Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Tirol (Cod. 1193).
