[Letter-writing manual - Gellert, Christian Fürchtegott].
Briefe, und Abhandlung vom guten Geschmacke in Briefen. Probably Germany, ca. 1810.
8vo (125 x 187 mm). German manuscript in brown ink on paper. (1 blank leaf), title-leaf (lower two-thirds repaired), 210 (but: 208) numbered pp. (omitting pp. 124-125), 3 final blank pp. Very attractive contemporary half calf with red and green spine label. Coloured paper pastedowns. Silk ribbon. Very pretty and meticulously penned, privately compiled guide to the art of letter writing, partly based on C. F. Gellert's classic "Briefe, nebst einer praktischen Abhandlung von dem guten Geschmacke in Briefen" (first published in 1751), excerpted and paraphrased by the scribe and supplied with his extensive additional examples and discussions. - The manuscript begins with a restatement of Gellert's famous definition of a letter: "The first thing we think of regarding a letter is this, that it takes the place of a conversation. Yet it is not a conversation proper". The text tends to follow the printed book, paraphrasing, abridging, expanding, or quoting verbatim; but on p. 86 begins a chapter "On the external arrangement of letters" not found in Gellert, treating the formal constitution of a letter: the various types of paper, the positioning of salutation and closing on the page, improper salutations, use of envelopes, seals and sealing wax, etc. The examples provided here are not found in Gellert, either, and would appear to be the compiler's own invention: "To a Lady Friend" (signed "Forget-Me-Not"), "A Son's Letter to his Father", "A Brother's Answer to his Sister who has Written that They Have Won the Lottery Together" ("Me and you, winners in the lottery? And ten ducats at that? Well shiver my timbers! What lovely medicine for a foot-sore student"), "A Lady's Congratulations on the Birth of a Child", "Letter of Rejection" ("I still love freedom too dearly, am yet too young"), "To the priest L. (from Carlsbad)": "I have enjoyed the honour of speaking with our German Voltaire, the privy counsellor Goethe. He much favours the French nation, and especially Napoleon. How else could it be, as Napoleon himself invited him to sup with him in Weimar [...] To my pleasure, a travelling musician played several songs by Schiller on his guitar" (p. 136f.), "Thanks for Kind Sentiments", "Thanks for the Offer of Friendship", "To a Noble Friend for his Confidence", "A Young Lady Thanking her Aunt for a Gift", etc. - Later, the writer again draws from Gellert's printed work, inserting the final letter from the book: "To Baron Gr., From the Country", before adding a letter of congratulation, an account of travel adventures, a reminder "To a Late Payer", a letter demanding reimbursement for a loan to a nobleman, as well as an "Appendix" discussing the importance of legible handwriting and providing recipes for "good and well-flowing ink", how to cut quills, and how to make a leather writing case. - Prettily bound, with insignificant staining to covers. The green spine label bears the initials "A.B.", possibly denoting the unidentified compiler. Later autograph ownership of the Czech painter Josef Ferdinand Hettes (1864-1927) to flyleaf. Lower two-thirds of the title-page removed and rebacked, otherwise a clean, well-preserved and often amusing document of German epistolary culture in the late 18th and early 19th century.

[Liturgy - Divine Offices].
Ordine da osservarsi nell'oratorio di Santa Maria di Passione, circa gli Essercicii Spirituali delle feste cavato dalla Regola maggiore. [Compagnia di Santa Maria della Passione, Milan, 18th century].
Folio (27,5 x 18,5 cm). (1 blank), (1), 66 pp. With 5 full-page and 2 half-page hand-painted religious illustrations and 9 hand-painted initials on a blue background, heightened with gold and silver. 18th c. gold- and blind-tooled vellum, each board with a blind ornamental centrepiece in a blind-tooled frame, within a larger frame of gold fillets, with a gilt floral design in each of the 6 spine compartments. A manuscript service book for the divine offices of the confraternity of Santa Maria di Passione (Santa Maria della Passione), remarkably illustrated and penned on vellum in a very fine and legible hand, largely imitating roman printing types. It contains seven illustrations, the five full-page examples showing the Virgin Mary: the Pietà, the Annunciation, Mary as the Woman of the Apocalypse, a Madonna and child, and the Assumption of Mary. The two approximately half-page tailpieces serve a more decorative function, representing of six putti on a garland with grape vines and a tree or shrub (laurel?) growing out of a gold vase (the fragments of red and black text on the vase are in mirror image and must have stuck to the paint). All illustrations are hand-painted with gouaches in striking colours. - A divine office, or liturgy of the hours, contains the official set of prayers for the eight canonical hours of the day: matins, lauds, prime, terce, sext, nones, vespers and compline. The day began with the matins at approximately 2 a.m. and ended at 7 p.m. with compline. Each of the offices in this manuscript begins with a hand-painted initial in gold on blue ground with silver foliage; the text of the matins contains an extra initial, bringing the total to nine. Apart from a detailed description and instruction for the offices, the manuscript also contains other instructions and rules to be observed by members of the confraternity, such as the rites for welcoming novices and pilgrims. - The first known mention of the confraternity of Santa Maria di Passione was in 1455; a set of rules ("Ordini riformati della compagniadi santa maria della passione al campanile dei reverendi canonici") has survived from 1565. The confraternity was located in Milan, in a building right next to - or even attached to - the basilica of Sant'Ambrogio called the Oratorio di Santa Maria di Passione. The basilica was built by St Ambrose in the 4th century, and during its long history it has hosted multiple religious communities, some simultaneously. Even after the damage done during the bombing of Milan by Allied forces in 1943, the building still shows this history in the many different chapels and the existence of two towers, one built for the canons located on the north side and one built for the monks on the south side of the basilica. The confraternity was disbanded near the end of the 18th century and the oratory, until then an autonomous building, was bought by the management of the basilica. The oratory was decorated with several frescos, which were auctioned off at the end of the 19th century, including three bought by the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum) in London. - Binding slightly soiled. With an owner's label "Sub tutela matris" (under protection of the [holy] mother) and an inscription in Dutch on the front pastedown: "Handschrift met geschilderde prenten. Italiaansch werk op perkament" ("manuscript with painted illustrations. Italian work on vellum"). The vellum leaves vary in colour from white to slightly toned. Illustrations, initials and text leaves generally in good condition except for the initials on pp. 7 and 31; illustration on p. 33 shows some minor soiling. A tear in p. 9 repaired with tape (but text remains legible), lower corners of the leaves show minor signs of wear, otherwise in good condition. Illustrated manuscript written in a very fine, legible hand. An attractive Italian manuscript that provides an insight into the day-to-day religious life of the members of the confraternity of Santa Maria di Passione in Milan and is supplemented with eye-catching, hand-painted illustrations and initials. Cf. A. Rovetta, "Oratorio di Santa Maria della Passione - Cenni storici", in: Oratorio della Passione in Sant'Ambrogio a Milano: Risanamento degli intonaci e restauro degli affreschi (Milan, 2004), pp. 10-17.

[MANUSCRIPTS - MATHEMATICS] ARTHEMOND [DE] REGNY].
FRENCH MATHEMATICAL MANUSCRIPTS: “Cours de Mathematiques”. THREE VOLUME SET
Paris ca 1795. Hardcover. Near Fine. An exceptional French Mathematics Manuscript in 3 volumes. Contemporary French mottled calf gilt floral panels separate black morocco labeling covers with border line tooling marbling on text block edging. Collation: Géometrie &2- 193 pp. 60 blank leaves; Algèbra & 2 -166 pp. 46 blank leaves; Planches & 2pp. 182 figures on 76 plates 48 blank leaves. All plates are on stiff blue laid paper. This course was taken by noted French economist Arthémond de Régny 1777-1841 probably during his university training in the latter part of the 18 century. Each volume has been prepared well with very legible and precise script and geometric figures. The organization of the Geometry volume starts with Euclid with numerical reference to geometric drawings in the Plate volume. A number of Problems Solutions and Corollaries are next. The remainder of this volume deals with 50 theorems for plane and sold geometry. Each theorem is stated first followed by demonstration then corollaries with further demonstration construction remark and ends with one or more problems along with solutions and reference where appropriate to figures in Plate volume. The volume on Algebra starts with basic addition subtraction multiplication and division. Next is a discussion of algebraic fractions their reduction with same denominator multiplication division and equations. Numerous examples of equations and computations occupy the remainder of the manuscript. Included are problems for solving equations with one two or three unknowns occasionally presenting a solution with a second method. The end of the manuscript has problems for 2 unknowns of znd degree division of irrationals and extracting the square root of a binomial. <br/><br/>Provenance: Arthémond de Régny bookplate on front pastedown of each volume. Régny was a noted French economist who was invited around 1830 by Greek leader Capodistrias to assist Greece with their economic problems. Although Capodistrias was assassinated before he arrived Régny stayed in Greece during the period of Regency 1833-1835. He went on to found and assist in organizing the State Audit Council according to French ideals and became its first chairman. He also assisted in the Foundation of the National Bank of Greece in 1841. Arthémond de Régny got married in 1798 to the Genoese woman Catherine Castellini who was the daughter of Balthasar and granddaughter of Domenico Castellini who conquered the Algerians in 1763. Balthasar Castellini was consul to Naples and subsequently in Cartagena Spain Marseille and Genoa. He was in charge of important missions by the royal court of Naples and also held an outstanding position in the trade. The family Régny was originally from the province of Dombes. At the beginning of the eighteenth century Francois Régny established his family in Genoa where he was in charge of the "Direction of the Diplomats for the King. hardcover

[Manuscript - Calligraphy - French].
[Illustrated French calligraphic manuscript]. [Probably France, ca. 1640-1645 / after 1643?].
Oblong 8vo (ca. 215 x 175 mm). (11), (8 blank) ff. Calligraphic exercises in French, written in a French civilité with some first lines in a French cursive or gothic hand. With 9 larger decorated initials, containing extensive ink-drawn illustrations in contemporary hand colour, showing an armoured knight on horseback, birds, dragons and other fabulous beasts, a pierced heart, etc. Some letters with extensive flourishes in the margins, many of them showing ink-drawn human faces. Contemporary limp vellum, loosely stored in a modern marbled paperboard folder within a matching marbled slipcase. French calligraphic manuscript, containing 11 unnumbered leaves of calligraphic exercises. Most of them are small verses (often six lines), but the collection also contains a letter to a friend and complete alphabets. The manuscript is visually very appealing, and calligraphic manuscripts with decoration like the present one are rare: it comprises vividly decorated initials and numerous flourishes in the margins, which also contain small drawings of faces. - The manuscript was very likely manufactured in the 1640s, a period in which France took over the lead from the Dutch in the publication of writing books. Calligraphy flourished in the 17th century, as it continued to evolve. Flourishing became more important, including calligraphic drawings of human and mythical figures, animals, birds, monsters etc. The present manuscript, with its elaborate decorative alphabets, embellishing and initials, is a beautiful example of this development in calligraphy. - Some dates appear in the manuscript, one on the first page reading "1634", another one "1636", while the letter itself is dated 5 June 1643. Therefore we can assume that the manuscript as a whole was made ca. 1640-1645, with at least the last leaves written after 1643. It is possible that the other leaves were also written after 1643, but it could also be around this year, as the ink and style of the hand appears to be slightly thinner there. - Altogether a beautiful example of a calligraphic exercise book, here in manuscript, which is not only visually appealing, but which also beautifully reflects the popularity of calligraphy manuals and copybooks in the 17th century and the strong focus on flourishing and decoration which were more frequently added to letters or words. - Slipcase only slightly worn around the edges, marbled paper on the spine of the folder cracked. Limp vellum detached from the leaves and worn, first three leaves and 11th leaf loose, paper edges frayed, some foxing throughout (especially to the blanks), a few stains barely affecting the text, first blank at the end almost gone and last blank half gone, but overall in fine condition.

[Manuscript prayerbook].
Form zu betten unser liebe[n] frawen mantel, Gebet. [Incipit:] Cegrüest seiestu o süesse aller heiligste junckfraw maria [...]. [Ravensburg?, ca. 1670].
Small 16mo in 8s (85 x 100 mm; leaf size 75 x 90 mm). [423], [3 blank] pp. plus 3 endleaves at the front and 5 at the back. German manuscript in red and black ink on paper, written in an upright, semi-cursive gothic hand, with Lombardic initials in red (a few 2-line and hundreds of 1-line initials), rubricated throughout. 11 lines per page, written space 55 x 70 mm. Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over bevelled wooden (beechwood?) boards, sewn on 3 double supports, each board bearing a double rectangular border of multiple rules, inner frame with an oval centrepiece stamp (22 x 32 mm, the front with a female figure [the Virgin Mary or a saint?] within decorative borders; back divided by 2 diagonal double rules and 4 diagonal double arcs into 4 inner and 8 outer compartments, each filled with arabesque decoration; outer compartments coloured, inner compartments thus forming a lighter lozenge with concave sides). An arabesque stamp inside each corner of the inner border and a decorative border between the inner and outer frame composed of at least 2 straight branches with leaves and at least 4 rosettes (5, 6 and 7 petalled); spine and turn-ins rules. In total more than 100 impressions of about 9 stamps. Further with 2 strap fastenings with brass clasps (each with an owner’s [?] stamp: 1.5 mm Roman capital initials "LH" above a 3 mm head in profile, facing right), catchplates and anchor plates, plain headbands, blue edges. With 27 mm Roman capital initials "BR" in brown ink on the lower edge. A charming, pocket-sized Catholic manuscript prayerbook in German, written in red and black, bound in contemporary blind-tooled pigskin, both manuscript and binding probably the work of a monastery in Ravensburg or the surrounding region. - The manuscript begins with prayers to the Virgin Mary on 19 leaves (a1-c3) and continues with three series of rosary prayers on 47 leaves (c3-i1), further prayers to the Virgin Mary on 28 leaves (i1-m4), prayers for various days from Palm Sunday to Easter on 18 leaves (m4-o5), prayers for the 24 hours on 56 leaves (o5-x4), further rosary prayers in five parts on 21 leaves (x4-z8), the litany of all saints on 20 leaves (z8-2c3), and the litany of specific saints, including St Augustine, on 10 leaves (2c3-2d4). - The manuscript is very regular in its structure, only a few blank leaves have been removed: the final quire used for the prayerbook text itself ends with a blank leaf, followed by stubs of 3 leaves that have been torn out. The quires that contain the text of the prayerbook collate: [a]-[2c]8 [2d]8 (- 2d6, 7, 8) = [212], [1 blank] ff. The 17th century binder trimmed most of the quire signatures (quire a probably had none), but on the first leaf of a few quires one can see the top of the letter that was shaved (confirming the collation): i, k, r, s. The top of some letter or mark, also shaved, can be seen in the same position on c3, f2 and 2d1-4, but it is not clear what they are. The endpapers appear to have been a quire of four leaves at the front and a quire of six leaves at the back, probably each with its first leaf removed and the outermost remaining leaf pasted down. - The paper is almost certainly of foolscap size, nearly all watermarked with the Ravensburg coat of arms (a castle represented as a gate between two towers, standing upon a corbel). The gate in the present watermarks probably has a door under a peaked roof, rather than a portcullis, but this and the initial(s) or other sign in the corbel are difficult to make out because each watermark is divided between four leaves with the central parts lost in trimming. The crenellated battlement of each tower is rounded, has three merlons, and sits directly on a rounded slab, the battlement having no narrower neck leading to the slab. Each tower has one window, connected to the wall on the gate side by (in most cases) two diagonal wires that form a triangle with the wall as its base and the point touching the window. We have not found an example in the literature with this triangular link, but otherwise the present watermarks resemble many from the period 1655 to 1675 (Piccard III, group IX, 171-186 & 253-259, plus many scattered throughout group VIII). Those in quires a, f and probably b and g have two initials (probably "HL") flanking the corbel; the literature shows no initials in that position before 1666. This suggests that the manuscript was probably produced in the period ca. 1665 to ca. 1675. One Ravensburg castle mark in WZIS has an HL monogram in the corbel, but not the initials flanking it, and the style of the castle is completely different: it is not clear whether it dates from 1666 or between 1686 and 1700. Not surprisingly, Ravensburg castle watermarks appear most frequently in Ravensburg (in Upper Swabia, just north of Lake Constance), but also in the vicinity (Konstanz, Weingarten, Salem, Überlingen); they are rare elsewhere. - The endpapers were probably made from one of the paper stocks used for the manuscript itself (one leaf shows one side of the foot of the Ravensburg castle watermark, with no initials flanking the corbel), suggesting that the production of the manuscript and its binding were closely tied, perhaps at a monastery in the region. Three bifolia show parts of a different watermark: two bifolia in quire c show a crown, perhaps from a coat of arms or an Imperial double-headed eagle, while one in quire l shows what may be the foot of a coat of arms or possibly the tip of the tail of an eagle, with scroll decorations. - In a 16mo in 8s, one expects each quire to represent a half-sheet, and each sheet would provide one half sheet with a watermark and one without. Here, eight quires show parts of a watermark in four of the eight leaves, and six show no watermark. But even these quires were not consistently made from regularly folded half sheets: some were assembled from separate bifolia, so that some of the watermarks appear at the foot of the fore-edge rather than its head. Most of the quires a-l and a few others show parts of watermarks in 1, 2 or 3 leaves, demonstrating that they contain bifolia from different half-sheets. In quire e, three leaves show one of the two towers from a Ravensburg castle watermark, proving that they come from parts of two different sheets (c and l, which include parts of a different kind of watermark, also mix bifolia from different sheets). - One or more early owners of the present manuscript have written six pages of further prayers on the endpapers (2 at the front and 4 at the back), mostly in a single contemporary hand, including "ein gebeid der Reponsori deß H. Bonaventura"; "So du nun mirackel suchst der Godt"; "Wo man alle nacht mit Jesu schlaffe soll"; "Fünff vögelen singen, daß es in den Rainen" (five songs, numbered 1 to 5). There is also a two-line inscription on the back pastedown. Parts of the front pastedown, which probably contained an owner's inscription, have been removed or obliterated, but bits of an early inscription remain visible. - Some minor and mostly marginal foxing, a hole in l6 and 7, a small marginal tear in l8 and insignificant ones in a few other leaves, but still in good condition. The binding has a hole in the pigskin covering the spine, along one of the supports, is slightly soiled and most of the blue colouring of the edges of the leaves is lost. The centrepiece on the front board does not appear to be worn, but its image (probably the Virgin Mary or a female saint) is nevertheless difficult to make out: perhaps the binder did not impress it strongly. The binding also remains in good condition.

[Manuscrit - Afrique, Africana] Marius Perret (1851-1900),
En Colonne au Sénégal.
[Manuscrit - Afrique] Marius Perret (1851-1900), En Colonne au Sénégal. [ca.1891], in-8, 78-3p. Exceptionnel journal de Marius Perret lors de l'expédition du colonel Dodds (colonne du Fouta). Ce manuscrit semble entièrement inédit bien qu'il fût clairement destiné à être publié, probablement dans Le Tour du Monde, journal auquel il collaborait. Certaines parties ont été supprimées, notamment celle sur les espions. Peut-être y a-t-il eu un véto militaire ou politique à cette publication ? Il s'agit d'une version remise au propre puis corrigée à de nombreuses reprises (plusieurs encres différentes). On remarquera qu'il y a deux versions pour la fin du manuscrit - les 3 pages supplémentaires. La première version a été réécrite quelques mois après la première, probablement pour tenir compte de la mort d'Abdoul Boubakar, tué par des maures quelques mois après l'expédition. Cela permet de dater le manuscrit de 1891. Notons que Perret n'était pas militaire. Il est en fait le premier peintre français à aller au Sénégal et il suivit l'expédition comme médecin. En effet, le médecin militaire était indisposé et Perret l'a donc remplacé (il était médecin de formation). Reliure moderne, plein buffle noir, dos lisse, corps de l'ouvrage composé de pochettes en plastique de conservation dans lesquelles sont glissés les feuillets.
