[Salt production].
Riße und Beschreibung der Saltz-Cothen. Probably Halle/Saale, ca. 1720.
Folio (ca. 375 x 250 mm). (13) ff., 1 blank leaf. German manuscript on paper. With 10 pen-and-ink drawings in original hand colour. Contemporary boards with manuscript title label to cover. Fine German manuscript on how to increase the efficiency of German salt production. In German cities such as Halle, a major centre of the salt industry, the production of cooking salt was based essentially on the use of wells that provided a high concentration solution of brine. Extracted from the wells, the brine was boiled and refined to salt, a process carried out by specialized personnel - the "salters", who worked in small huts or cots ("Kothen" in German) located in close proximity to the wells. - Presumalby prepared by an experienced salter, the present manuscript gives detailed instructions on the efficient construction and heating of hearths and the sustainment of the required heat, as well as the correct handling of boiling pans. The text concludes with a recommendation of the highly profitable pratice of concentrating the brine using sea salt, as was common in Dutch salt production. - The charming illustrations show the interior of the cots with their various boiling and concentration pans, including diagrammatic depictions of masonry and the arrangement of pans, grids and hearths, as well as a scene of everyday life in the cot. - Engraved bookplate of the artillery school and stamp of ownership of the Hanover military library to front pastedown, the latter also to the first page. Later bookplate of the historian Hanns Freydank (1892-1971) to pastedown. Freydank is the author of numerous publications on salt production with a focus on his native Halle. - Spine and corners somewhat rubbed. Block damaged; paper slightly browned, occasional spots. A rare survival.

[Salzburg - Bergwesen].
Des hochlöblichen Erzstift Salzpurg Perckhwerchs Ordnung sampt dem Register und Vorred. Getrucht in der erzbischöflichen statt Salzburg durch Hansen Pauman von Rotenburg auf der Thauber anno 1551. [Salzburg, vor 1550 bzw. nach 1551].
Deutsche Handschrift auf Papier. (6), 63, (16) Bll., zwischen Titelblatt und Register durchschossen. Grün gefärbter Pergamentband der Zeit. Kl.-Folio (200 x 305 mm). Zeitgenössisches Manuskript der wichtigen Bergwerksordnung des Fürsterzbischofs Matthäus Lang von Wellenburg von 1532, die 1551 als eines der ersten gedruckten Bücher von Salzburg bei Hans Baumann erschien. Die neue Bergwerksordnung löste die älteren, teils mehrdeutigen und unverständlichen Regelwerke ab; sie bestand mit mehreren Novellierungen auch nach dem Ende des Erzstiftes weiter und wurde erst 1854 durch das Allgemeine Berggesetz für die Österreichische Monarchie abgelöst. - Die Ordnung regelte die Rechte und Pflichten der landesfürstlichen Beamten, der Gewerken und Hutleute, die Abgaben der Bergleute, die Versorgung der Bergwerke mit Holz und Lebensmitteln sowie die Arbeits- und Ruhezeiten, wobei der übermäßig lange Aufenthalt im Wirtshaus nach Feierabend unter Strafe gestellt wurde: "Wir wollen auch das unnsere Perckhrichter zu fürderung gemeines nutz und der perckhwerch [...] allenthalben darob seyen, Das die Huetleut, Lehenhewer, Gedingheuer und annder Arbaiter, all zu rechter zeit, und wie obgemelt ist, zue und von der Arbait geen, und sich nit in den Wirtshewsern, Tafernen oder anndern ennden uber die gewönndliche zeit versitzen oder verhalten, bey peen aines Reinischen guldens [...]" (fol. 35). - Der erste Teil der vorliegenden Handschrift stammt noch aus der ersten Hälfte des 16. Jhs., bricht jedoch bei Artikel 34 (fol. 63v) ab und wurde nach dem erwähnten Baumann-Druck wohl im dritten Viertel des 16. Jhs. ergänzt. Das im Zuge dieser Komplettierung entstandene Titelblatt entspricht jenem der gedruckten Ausgabe. - Einband fleckig, Rücken lädiert, Schließbänder fehlen. Papier durchgehend leicht fleckig; einzelne Seiten mit kleinen Randläsuren, teils alt mit Papierstreifen hinterlegt.

[Schubarth, Ernst Ludwig].
Physik nach Schubart. Berlin, 1839.
4to (273 x 90 mm). (810) pp. Manuscript in black ink, in a neat and legible Kurrent hand. With 178 precisely executed pencil and ink diagrams and sketches in the margins, together with one full-page and two tipped-in folding drawings. Contemporary drab blue linen with gilt red cloth spine label. All edges red. A meticulously maintained record of one of Schubarth's lecture series, kept by a student, "W. Mück," and a fascinating look at 19th century physics. Unpublished. - Schubarth (1797-1868) was a medical doctor, surgeon, and technological chemist. He gave lectures on chemistry and physics at the Königliches Gewerbeinstitut in Berlin from 1821 to 1848 and at the Bauakademie Berlin from 1831 to 1862. Both universities merged in 1879 and thus were forerunners of Berlin's highly regarded Technische Universität. Schubarth wrote numerous books, including "Tabellen für den Unterricht in der Physik" (1831), "Elemente der technischen Chemie" (1833), and "Lehrbuch der theoretischen Chemie" (1822). He was one of only four academics who lectured at the Gewerbeinstitut during the inaugural year of 1821. It is not known whether these lectures were given at the Gewerbeinstitut or at the Bauakademie. They have never been published. - Schubarth was known to Alexander von Humboldt, who recommended him to Michael Faraday in a letter of 9 August 1846, describing him as "a savant whose work has been most useful for the progress of the industry of this country" (Faraday, p. 537) His image can be seen on the statue of the Prussian statesman Peter Beuth, the prime mover in 19th century Prussia's industrial renewal, where Schubarth is shown addressing a group of fellow scientists. - In his book "Aesthetics, Industry and Science: Hermann von Helmholtz and the Berlin Physical Society", M. Norton Wise notes: "From the perspective of technological modernism at the Bauschule, it is noteworthy that students learned their chemistry and physics entirely from a practical and industrial perspective. Ernst Ludwig Schubarth taught the basic courses, although he had no student laboratory and surely taught experimentation by demonstration alone. After habilitating at the Medical Faculty in Berlin, Schubarth became associate professor for materia medica and chemistry at the University and one of Beuth's most stalwart contributors at the Gewerbeinstitut and Gewerbeverein, serving for years as editor of its journal" (pp. 53f.). - Binding rather rubbed, front joint cracked but sound, back hinge cracking, spine cocked. Text somewhat toned, with some light soiling, but generally in very good condition. Cf. The Correspondence of Michael Faraday, Vol. 3 (2013). M. N. Wise, Aesthetics, Industry and Science: Hermann von Helmholtz and the Berlin Physical Society (University of Chicago Press, 2018).

[Schuselka, Franz, Publizist und Politiker (1811-1886)].
Der moderne Hagestolz. Lustspiel in 4 Aufzügen. [Wohl Wien], 1839.
Eigenh. Manuskript, 3 von 4 Faszikeln. Zusammen 63 SS. auf 34 Bll. Fadengeheftet. Folio. Bis auf den letzten Akt vollständiges Komödienmanuskript: ein Jugendwerk, das zwar nicht zur Aufführung gelangte, jedoch vom Verfasser zur Erzählung "Der Flatterling" umgearbeitet wurde, die 1841 fortsetzungsweise in Gottlieb Haases Unterhaltungsblatt "Bohemia" erschien (Nrn. 144-150). Wie jeweils auf Bl. 1 verso angeführt, sind die Personen des "in einer großen Residenz" spielenden Lustpiels: "Mildner - ein reicher Privatmann / Theresia - seine Gemahlin / Karl - sein Sohn / Holm - ein pensionirter Offizier / Lorchen - dessen Tochter / Dem. Florette - eine Schauspielerin / von Hahn, Chevalier Larmin [und] Marotti - Karls Freunde / Johann - Karls Jo[c]key / Marie - Florettens Kammermädchen / ein Diener Mildners”. Im linken Rand von 18. Jänner bis 11. Februar fortlaufend datiert, weist das Manuskript zahlreiche Streichungen, Korrekturen und teils mit Rotstift ausgeführte Ergänzungen auf. - Der Jurist Schuselka war einer der bekanntesten österreichischen Persönlichkeiten der Märzrevolution 1848. Ab 1839 hatte er, "der schon seit seiner Studentenzeit journalistisch tätig war, die Laufbahn eines freien Schriftstellers [ergriffen], vorerst v. a. als Mitarbeiter bei Zeitungen. Zu Beginn der 40er Jahre wandte er sich ganz der politischen Publizistik zu [...] Schuselka zählte im Vormärz wegen der polemischen Schärfe seiner gegen die Politik Metternichs und gegen die nichtddeutschen Nationalitäten des Habsburgerreiches gerichteten Schriften zu den bekanntesten liberalen Schriftstellern" (ÖBL XI, 380). Als Vertreter der großdeutschen Linken spielte er seine bedeutendste Rolle im Wiener Oktoberaufstand von 1848, wo er an der Spitze des Sicherheitsausschusses stand. Nach der Übergabe Wiens ging er nach Kremsier, wo er im Reichstag der Führer der Opposition wurde. 1850 wurde er nach seiner Rückkehr aus Wien ausgewiesen. Seiner Liebe zum Theater blieb er treu: 1849 heiratete er die Schauspielerin Ida Wohlbrück (1817-1903). - Äußerlich angestaubt; unbeschnitten.

[Silk production in Granada - presentation manuscript]. Baños y Molina, Pedro Paschio de.
Manifiesto del origen, progreso, y estado de la real hacienda y renta de poblacion en la ciudad, y reyno de Granada, que ha estado enagenada de la corona desde primero de enero de 1726 hasta fin de agosto del de 760. [Granada?], 22 March 1762.
4to (the tables measuring ca. 515 x 740 mm). - (Bound with) II: Copia de la carta remitida a s.e. en 16 de septiembre de 760, que acompaño al manifiesto, plan y demas documentos sobre renta. - (Bound with) III: Manifiesto de la renta de seda del reyno de Granada, executado de orden del Exmo. Sr. Marques de Esquilace del Consejo de S.M. su secretario de el de Hacienda y Superintendente general de todas Rentas Reales. 17 ff., 11 ff., plus 2 large folding tables ("Estado de los morales y moredas existentes en la Ciudad de Granada, ciudades, villas y lugares de su thesoreria" and "Plan general de los valores que produce la Real Hacienda de población del reyno de Granada"). Stored loosely in a modern folder. Impressive calligraphic presentation manuscript with an account of the history and 18th century state of the renowned silk production in Granada. Having belonged to the Marqués de Esquilache, Minister of Charles III, and signed in Granada by Pedro Paschio de Baños y Molina (1762), this beautiful copy was executed by a skilled calligrapher for the personal collection of the Marqués, probably by a calligrapher in Granada, where resided a number of professional scribes who produced elaborately decorated Cartas Ejecutorias (patents of nobility) for the Cancilleria. - Granada was known for centuries throughout the Mediterranean and beyond for the high quality of its silk: according to the German traveller Hieronymus Münzer in 1492, theirs was the best in the world. Its fame lasted to the end of the 19th century, when the German Imperial family still bought Granada silk. The cultivation of silk in Granada had been the main source of revenue for the Muslim Nasrid Kingdom of Granada; after its fall to the Catholic kings in 1492, it filled the coffers of the Spanish crown. Until the expulsion of the Moriscos in 1609 the production of silk remained mainly in their hands. Historians have argued that the steep hike of silk taxes ordered by Philip II led to the Morisco rebellion of 1568-71. The silk was traded from three exchanges (alcacerías), the main one situated in Granada, where since the period of Nazari rule Genovese traders were active and exported the silk throughout the Mediterranean and even to America. - This document testifies to the great interest that the Spanish kings took in the promotion, cultivation, and trade of silk in the second part of the 18th century. It is a beautiful document remarkable for the wealth of information it contains. In the best spirit of the Enlightenment, it meticulously records the number of mulberry trees in all localities of Granada, from the smallest to the largest, the number of additional trees that could be planted, the yearly expenses for juros (loans that the King had vouched to pay to certain individuals and religious institutions), and other items. - The document is addressed to the Marqués de Esquilache, minister of King Charles III, by Pedro Paschaio de Baños y Molina, director of the King's revenue in Granada. Paschaio, a member of a family of accountants, became very wealthy at the service of the crown. In 1752 he owned nine houses in the Macarena in Granada, six taverns, and lands. Born in 1691, he bought the post of mayor of the city of Granada in 1724. From this position he initiated his social ascent by organizing the visit of King Philip V to the city in 1730. By 1760 he was director of finances of Granada, an office which undoubtedly augmented his wealth. He financed several important religious buildings in Granada in the late Baroque style. - Professionally restored tears, almost invisible, to large folding tables; some minor oxidation to ink as expected, but overall in excellent condition.

[Société archéologique de Béziers].
"Musée lapidaire. Aperçu général de l'histoire de Béziers." Manuscript for a general history of Béziers based on the objects of the Museum of the Archaeological Society. [Béziers], 1910-1911.
4to. French manuscript in blue and red ink on paper. 107 pp. With an index and 68 photographs mostly outside the text (37 numbered plates). Original half cloth notebook. Sewn. Beautiful, unpublished manuscript that must be attributed to a member of the Archaeological Society of Béziers. From 1866, the society’s "Musée lapidaire" was housed in the unfinished monastery attached to the Béziers Cathedral. Today, only a few of the more than 300 objects are still on display there, while most have been transferred to the Musée du Biterrois. The author traces the eventful history of Béziers based on objects of the collection and their inscriptions, dating from the Roman period to the 18th century. The objects from the Roman period offer the greatest variety; they include a head of Silenus, the statue of a Roman Emperor, locally known as Pépézut, funerary monuments and architectural ornaments. In the preface, the author thanks the former president of the Archaeological Society, Louis Noguier, and two other members who contributed to the establishment of the museum. In 1899, Noguier had published a book on the museum’s inscriptions from the Christian period. Based on a clipping from a local newspaper with an article on a congress of the Archaeological Society in January 1911, the manuscript can be tentatively ascribed to Joseph Dardé, secretary of the society and curator of the museum. - Several pages loose, as are the plates. Some browning. Occasional bent corners, margins, and minor tears.

[Suppression of the Society of Jesus].
"Per la soppressione della Società". Manuscript copy of ten anti-Jesuit poems. No place, late 18th century.
4to. Italian manuscript on paper. 7½ pp. on bifolia. The collection starts with a long poem comprising 37 verses of 3 lines each that calls for the suppression of the Jesuits, starting: "Giorno d'ira, e di furore / Di ruine apportatore / Spunta all'empio, e all'impostore". The unpublished poem is addressed to the Pope and repeats typical accusations brought against the Society of Jesus. - It is followed by three sonnets concerning the controversial and at the time unsuccessful canonization process for Juan de Palafox y Mendoza (1600-59), the former bishop of Puebla who had briefly served as Archbishop of Mexico (1640-42) and as Viceroy of New Spain (1642). Palafox y Mendoza is famous for his long conflict with the powerful Jesuits of New Spain over ecclesiastical jurisdiction. The Jesuits ultimately succeeded in having the bishop transferred from Puebla to a minor see in Old Castile in 1653, effectively ending his career. In the 18th century, Palafox y Mendoza's anti-Jesuit writings gained popularity and were an important factor in the banishment of the Jesuits from Spain in 1767. The introduction of the cause of beatification was approved by Pope Benedict XIII in 1726 but a positive decision by the responsible congregation in 1777 was suspended by Pope Pius VI through the intervention of the Jesuits. The poems must be seen in this context; the first stave of the third poem reads: "Oh Gesuiti! Della Terra f[a]ex, / Infine l'ha pur vinta Palafox, / E difesolo il forte Hispaniae Rex, / Che no teme da Voi la mala Nox". - The fourth sonnet in the collection is a caustic reinterpretation of the famous prophecy that Ignatius of Loyola had received in a vision of Christ near Rome in 1537, starting: "I shall be favourable to you in Rome". - Four sonnets are warnings and outright criticisms of Pope Clement XIII (1758-69), a former Jesuit. The first of the sonnets is a speech by the personification of the Adriatic Sea to the Pope, commanding him to safeguard the honour of St Peter and warning him of coming storms. This is followed by three variations of a sonnet that does not directly address Clement but openly criticizes Papal decisions and his opposition to the ruling Princes of Europe, comparing the Pope to the Kings of Egypt and Assyria in an allusion to the biblical stories of Moses and Judith. - The final sonnet in the collection with two additional staves of 3 lines in the end strikes a similar tone, now directly attacking the Jesuits. It underlines that Rome must obey the European potentates, directly mentioning the court in Vienna, in order to be saved and restore its glory by "extinguishing" the Jesuits: "Che sarai salva, e con gloria distinta / Quando la Società vedrassi estinta". - With very slight stains. Well preserved.

The poetic persona of this slanderous sonnet is the devil who informs the Jesuits of Clement's demise and incites them to use the opportunity for their malefactions, implying that they are responsible for papicides and regicides: "Mort'é Clemente (all'empia Società / Il Diavol' prese tosto a dir' così.) / Teneri Figli miei, vedete già, / Quanto per voi m'adopri e notte, e dì. / Or sappiate, che in man vi tornerá, / Tutto ciò, che il destin à voi rapí, / E che La Compagnia risorgerá, / Ad onta di Colui, che vi abboli, / Deh.' [Non] cari Figli, non temete più, / Seguite pur à uccider Papi, e Ré, / Ch'io sempre vi darró [!] forza, e virtú, / Ed al vostro valor ampia mercè, / Finchè verrete poi tutti quaggiù, / Eternamente ad abitar con me". - A slightly different version of this poem was published in the posthumous eighth volume of José Ortiz y Sanz's "Historia general de España" with the sardonic comment that the "devil apparently had some prognostic power" but that his words are unreliable, as is to be expected for a statement by the devil. - On 21 July 1773, Clement XIV issued the papal brief "Dominus ac Redemptor Noster" ordering the suppression of the Society of Jesus. This was probably the most controversial political decision of the 18th century, leading to a surge of propaganda for and against the Jesuits and the Pope that culminated after Clement's death on 22 September 1774. - Traces of folds. With a small burn hole and minor stains. J. Ortiz y Sanz, Historia general de España, Volume VIII (Madrid, 1846), p. 243.

[Suppression of the Society of Jesus].
Anonymous manuscript with 13 predominantly anti-Jesuit poems. No place, late 18th century.
4to. Italian manuscript on paper. 12 pp. on bifolia. The first poem in the manuscript is an anonymous sonnet entitled "In occasione della Vinciza fatta al Lotto di Napoli industriosamente dalli Romani" that compares Roman politics to the "damned game" of lottery, but also a "sorbet" that needs to be swallowed, and attacks several people, including the cardinals and Curia members Luigi Maria Torregiani and Simone Buonaccorsi, as "assassins" and "perfidious ministers" who give Romans the "title of thieves". - The second anonymous poem is an anti-Jesuit sonnet, presented as a kind of prophecy that was "recovered above" a Jesuit building in Rome "nell' Arco de' Greci", probably referring to the Collegium Graecorum. It compares the Jesuits to a "flock of birds" who built their nest from loot but are now "cast out", alluding to the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773. The final stave openly calls for violence, even threatening those who do not participate in the extirpation: "Per estirpar la maladetta Razza / Calpesteremo il Nido, i Padri, e l'ova | E proscritto sarà chi non c'ammazza". - This is followed by a copy of Carlo Innocenzo Frugoni's (1692-1768) sonnet "L'Angelo Sterminatore", here appropriated for anti-Jesuit purposes, calling for the "expulsion of the Society" from Parma. The sonnet has been published in the second volume of Frugoni's collected poetry (C. I. Frugone, Opere poetiche II [Parma, 1779], p. 373). - Another comparison of the Jesuits with birds, now ravens, is presented in an anonymous Latin distich: "Dar Lojoliticii [...] Opes, Gusmani Corpus Alumnis: / Num Carnes Corvus, devorat Ossa Canis." According to an added explanation, the poem was written to commemorate a Neapolitan woman who died because she compromised her devotion to St Dominic with her estimation for the Jesuits and followed "their advice" concerning her inheritance. - The fifth poem in the manuscript is another sonnet that is satirically attributed to Lorenzo Ricci, the General of the Society of Jesus at the time of their suppression. In lamenting the downfall of the Jesuits, the fictional Ricci corroborates calumnious accusations brought against them. The first stave reads: "Siam giunte al fine delle nostre imprese, / Speranza più non v'è di coglier frutti, / Il colpo già letal, onde palese / E la scentura, che sovrasta à tutti." This is followed by another sonnet that traces in a highly spiteful tone the "situation and conduct" of several important Jesuits following the suppression: "Situazione, e condotta del P. N., e di varii del Cordon Bleu dell'Ordine Lojolitico", starting with the General: "Ricci singhiozza smania, e si tapina". - Two further sonnets are actual works of the Jesuit poets Severio Bettinelli and Giulio Cesare Cordara, although the second sonnet is wrongly attributed to Bettinelli as well. Bettinelli's sonnet "Tuona, fulmina, e sbuffa Torregiani", apparently written after the expulsion of the Jesuits from Spain in 1767 in order to "slander diverse Cardinals" such as Luigi Maria Torregiani, is met with critical annotations, whereas Cordara's apologetical sonnet "Cadrà, se così in Ciel si trova scritto" is derided in two anti-Jesuit "responses" in the form of sonnets. These are immediately followed by a satirical sonnet that ridicules the expulsed Jesuits of Spain who "cannot find anybody who allows them to disembark", starting "Ah nave, ah nave che nel mezzo all'onde". Cordara's poem has been published in the Italian journal "La Voce della Ragione" in 1832, where it is dated to 1773. - Another sonnet is couched in the form of a dialogue between "Pasquino e Marforio" and is thus a classical Roman pasquinade. Pasquino asks Marforio whether it is true that a Dominican friar has been murdered in Martinique. Marforio confirms this, implicating a Jesuit named Scarponio who had brought the news to him through a disciple. - The final and longest poem of the collection (82 verses of 4 lines) is a "Canzonetta to the Genovese Signori who welcomed the Jesuits expulsed from Spain on Corsica". The poem is a furious denouncement of Genovese hospitality and closes with a plea for Justice, asking God to "release the brakes" and have the "evil Society completely suppressed and extinguished", followed by an "Amen". More than 2,600 Jesuits were forced to leave Spain in 1767 and take refuge in Corsica until 1768, when the island was taken over by France, which had already expelled the Jesuits from its territories in 1764. This development finally forced Pope Clement XIII grudgingly to allow the exiles to enter the Papal states. - Occasional stains and browning. Well preserved.

[Suppression of the Society of Jesus].
Anonymous manuscript with three anti-Jesuit texts. No place, ca. 1773.
4to. 1¾ pp. on bifolium. The first text is a Life of the controversial Jesuit Gabriel Malagrida (1689-1761) with its satirized counterpart, written in opposing columns. Italian introductions were added in order to lend the Latin "original texts" a note of authenticity: "Short chronicle printed underneath the image of Father Malagrida, found in the case of a Jesuit father who had been robbed in Belforte. The figure is conical and Father Malagrida is represented in the habit of a Jesuit missionary with a walking stick in hand [...]". The satirized version of the introduction identifies the Jesuits as thieves and describes Malagrida in "the habit of an assassin with a deadly knife in hand". Both "vitas" follow an established formula for short biographies of deceased Jesuits. The satirical version is fiercely vitriolic, repeating common accusations against the Jesuits such as disloyalty, idolatry, and regicide. The description of the image probably refers to an actual engraved "portrait" of Malagrida. This anonymous engraving, clearly libellous, would not have been carried by a Jesuit and circulated in various copies with anti-Jesuit captions. - Gabriel Malagrida was an Italian Jesuit who worked as a missionary in Brazil for 28 years. When he returned to Portugal in 1750, Malagrida was highly respected at court. His fervour in explaining the 1755 earthquake of Lisbon as a divine punishment gave his biggest enemy at the court, prime minister Sebastião José de Carvalho, the leverage to procure Malagrida's banishment from the capital. In 1758 he was falsely accused of having been part of the conspiracy behind an attempt on the life of King José I and found guilty of high treason. This so-called Távora affair served as a pretext for the banishment of the Jesuits from Portugal in 1759. As the Inquisition found no proof of his guilt, Malagrida could not be executed for treason, and Carvalho moved on to accuse him of heresy based on falsely attributed texts. In a blatant miscarriage of justice, Gabriel Malagrida was strangled and burned in Lisbon on 21 September 1761. - The first of two sonnets completing the collection is presented as if it had been recited by a brother of King George III during the solemn unveiling of a statue of Pope Clement XIV in the house of a Catholic English Lord. Pope Clement XIV was surprisingly popular in Britain, as he did not recognize the Catholic Jacobites as pretenders to the British throne, and for his anti-Jesuit stance. A bust of the Pope by Christopher Hewetson was copied several times for members of the British nobility. - The second anonymous sonnet "against the Jesuit fathers" was supposedly "sent to Rome printed in golden characters to the ambassador of Spain and presented to the Pope by him". The sonnet describes the purported reaction of Lorenzo Ricci, the Superior General of the Jesuits, to the suppression of the Society by Pope Clement XIV. The first stave reads: "Ricci crollando l'orgogliosa testa / Chiamo fremente i suoi Compagni, e disse / Reco novella, o Figli miei funesta, / Il rio Clemente il gran decreto scrisse". - Lorenzo Ricci was arrested soon after the suppression of the Jesuits on 21 July 1773. He was indefinitely imprisoned without trial at the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome and died there in 1775. - Some browning, creases, and minor tears. Minimal damage due to ink corrosion.

[Suppression of the Society of Jesus].
Manuscript copy of six anti-Jesuit poems. No place, late 18th century.
4to. Italian manuscript on paper. 4 pp. on bifolium. The first sonnet in this collection mocks the Jesuits expelled from Spain in 1767, who did not receive permission to land with their ships in the Papal States. The first stave reads: "E ancor sul crespo di Nettuno / Van del suo fato incerte galleggiando / Le navi ch'ebber dalla Spagna il bando, / Carche d'ira di Dio vestita a bruno!". - The second poem pretends to be a lamentation of the Jesuit Provincial of Aragon: "Il Provinciale de Gesuiti d'Aragona, non permettendosele lo sbarco nel Porto di Civita Vecchia, si querela con i seguenti Versi di Virgilio". The fictional Jesuit quotes the Aeneid (I, 539-544), wherein a lack of hospitality towards the Trojans is decried. - The two following sonnets scold the Jesuits, based on a quarrel with the Piarists. In a droll metaphor, the Piarists' mantillas are described as thermometers indicating the trouble resulting from the "affairs of the Jesuits" in terms of storms and tempests: "Ma nel torbigo tempo, ed infelice / Alzarsi ad occhio, e vaccorciar si vede: / Onde or tempesta, ed or seren predite." The second sonnet is a response to the "Piarists who jubilate over the Jesuit catastrophes". - The longest poem in the collection, consisting of 14 staves of four and three lines, accuses the Jesuits of not celebrating Mass on Christmas Eve, instead luring the naive believers to celebrate an idolatrous Mass on Good Friday: "Li PP. Gesuiti nella Notte del SS. Natale non celebrano le sacre Funzioni ordinate dalla S. Chiesa come tutti gli altri Ecclesiastici; ma tengono chiuse le Porte delle loro Chiese sin' all'Aurora: Il Venerdi Santo poi espongono il SS. Sacramento col solito Rito, e Ceremonie, e danno al Popolo la Benedizione." The Jesuits are thus likened to the Protestants through a breach of the Roman Rite that has no celebration of Mass between the Lord's Supper on Holy Thursday evening and Easter Vigil. Apart from idolatry, their true motive is presented to be hunger for power. The poem calls them "treacherous pirates who only lust for kingdoms and treasures" and celebrates their expulsion from France (1764) and Spain (1767). - A final sonnet in the collection predicts the fall of the "tall, terrible colossus" that is the Jesuit Order, repeating common accusations against the Society of Jesus that was suppressed by Pope Clement XIV in 1773. - With occasional brownstains and a minor tear to the fold.

[TEPEDELENLIZÂDE] ISMAIL RAHMI PASHA, (Active as Turkish / Ottoman governor of Adrianople between 1848-1850).
Autograph letter signed [sealed] 'Vâlî-yi Edirne Es-Seyyid Ismail Rahmi' to famous Crimean origin Haci Giray family for condolences.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original autograph manuscript letter sent to Haci Giray family for condolences on Haci Giray's death. 38x21 cm. On a special paper with 'ahar'. Sealed. 1 p. Has six lines. With a legible script and fine calligraphic style. It starts with 'huve'. He was a Turkish statesman, governor and member of state council according to Sicill-i Osmânî by Süreya and Türkischer Biographischer Index. The House of Giray (Crimean Tatar: Geraylar, Turkish: Âl-i Cengiz), also Girays, were the Genghisid/Turkic dynasty that reigned in the Khanate of Crimea from its formation in 1427 until its downfall in 1783. The dynasty also supplied several khans of Kazan and Astrakhan between 1521 and 1550. Apart from the royal Girays, there was also a lateral branch, the Choban Girays (Çoban Geraylar). Before reaching the age of majority, young Girays were brought up in one of the Circassian tribes, where they were instructed in the arts of war. The Giray khans were elected by other Crimean Tatar dynasts, called myrzas (mirzalar). They also elected an heir apparent, called the qalgha sultan (qalga sultan). In later centuries, the Ottoman Sultan obtained the right of installing and deposing the khans at his will. Giray family settled in Adrianople (Edirne) city in 17th century.

[Tibet].
The Perfection of Wisdom in Eight Thousand Lines. Tibet, 13th century CE.
20 x 65 cm. 314 sheets of heavy, multi-layered paper stained in blue over the whole area, varnished on the writing space, surrounded by a frame, within which are written 8 lines of approximately 80 characters in Tibetan uchen (dbu-can) script using gold ink. Each leaf written on both sides. Upper cover from another manuscript, in black ink; beneath a flap are 2 lines of very large script with the words "in the language of India". The first leaves of the manuscript contain 4, 5, 6 and 7 lines of script. Text is complete. A canonical Buddhist sutra and the central text of the Mahayana Prajnaparamita school. The present text is a Tibetan translation from the original Sanskrit, of which there are also Chinese, Korean, and Japanese translations. The "Perfection of Wisdom" sutra exists in a range of shorter and longer recensions, of which that in 8,000 lines is regarded as having been the source, since according to Buddhist belief, its precursor, no longer extant, in Buddhist Prakrit, the vernacular language actually spoken by the Buddha, transmitted the actual spoken words of the Buddha. This Sanskrit text was then expanded into versions in 10,000, 18,000, 25,000, and 100,000 lines or verses, for the advanced adepts who could appreciate detailed commentary, and on the other hand abbreviated to versions in 2,500, 700, 500, 300, 150 and 25 lines for those of lesser understanding. Modern scholarship considers that the text was elaborated by a series of additions to a small original core, not identical to any of the later 'short' versions, over the period from 50 to 700 CE. - The first Tibetan translation was made in around 850 CE and the second in 1020 CE. By this time the text had achieved its canonical form. Further comparison with the Sanskrit original and with additional Sanskrit manuscripts led to revisions of the Tibetan translation in 1030, 1075 and 1500. The Tibetan translation achieves a high level of understanding and accuracy and has been useful to modern scholars occupied in establishing and analysing the Sanskrit text. The whole range of Tibetan versions of the sutra on the "Perfection of Wisdom" has been edited, translated and commented on by Edward Conze. - The sutra recounts a debate at Rajagriha, on the Vulture Peak, where 1,250 Buddhist monks gathered to hear the Buddha. The other main speakers are the Buddha's disciples Subhuti, who puts forward the Prajnaparamita principles, and Sariputra, who puts forward the conservative views of those monks who are unable to follow these new developments. - While there is no colophon, this manuscript was almost certainly donated or sponsored by a lay person who hoped to win merit by financing the copying of the text. This manuscript is a superb example of Tibetan uchen (dbu-can) calligraphy produced during the 13th and 14th centuries. The text shows a few archaistic orthographic characteristics, such as the presence of the da-drag (the letter 'da' as a secondary suffix for some syllables), which suggest an early date, probably 13th or 14th century. - Although the manuscript is not illustrated, it displays some of the best uchen calligraphy produced in Tibet. The gold letters are pleasingly spaced and very exactly executed on the lustrous blue ground, which represent "the clear empty space, the void from which all things arise". - Some damage to the outer corners of the upper and lower 10-20 leaves. With very early marginal patches over tears from frequent turning of the pages. - Provenance: McCarthy Collection, Hong Kong, 2010-18. Previously in a UK private collection, UK, acquired in 1999.

[Tirol - Rattenberg].
Wareneingangsbuch einer Fernhandelsniederlassung. Rattenberg, 1788-1807 und 1810-1824.
Folio (ca. 265 x 350 mm). Deutsche Handschrift auf Papier. 1007, (25) SS., durchschossen. Blindgepr. Halblederband der Zeit über gemusterten Deckeln. Schließbänder. Eindrucksvolles Geschäftsbuch aus der Tiroler Gemeinde Rattenberg, einst zentraler Umschlagplatz für Waren der Innschifffahrt mit Beziehungen bis in den Mittleren Osten. Die jährlich dokumentierten Warenlieferungen, darunter vornehmlich Spezereien und textile Erzeugnisse sowie Branntwein, Kaffee, Tabak und Schokolade, zeugen von florierenden Handelsbeziehungen, vorrangig mit Städten in Deutschland, Österreich und Italien. Darüber hinaus scheinen auch Prag in Böhmen und sogar das Osmanische Reich auf: so importierte man in Rattenberg etwa Güter wie Rotgarn und Safran vom Händler Berusi in Konstantinopel (S. 262). - Unter den stark frequentierten europäischen Häusern sind die Tabakfabrik Maffei in München, das Handelshaus Lödel & Merkel in Nürnberg sowie die Firma Tabiseo & Pontini in Triest zu nennen. Ferner sind regelmäßige Einkäufe bei der Haller Frühlings- und Herbstmesse sowie bei der Bartholomäusmesse in Linz verzeichnet. - Von den Wirren der Napoleonischen Kriege berichtet ein Eintrag am Ende des Jahres 1796: "Dißes Jahr war der Krieg mit die Franzoßen am allerhöchsten. Sie drangen iber Brixen bis Mittewald vor und zogen durch Pusterthall bis Leoben in Steyer Mark [...]" (S. 274). - Ab 1817 mit der Angabe "in Rattenberg" in der Kopfzeile zusätzlich zu der Devise "Soli Deo Gloria" oder "Mit Gott". Einige leere Seiten herausgetrennt. Einband leicht berieben und etwas wurmstichtig, 2 Schließbänder nur fragmentarisch erhalten. Hinteres Innengelenk angebrochen; die erste Lage vom Block gelöst. Am Ende unten mit kleinem Wasserrand; vereinzelt etwas fleckig. - Überaus reichhaltige Quelle zum internationalen Warenverkehr dreier Jahrzehnte.

[Traumdeutung].
"Daß große und Neue Traum Buch oder daß wahre Mittel für Spiellustige aus der Lotterie zu gewinnen". O. O., 1791.
Deutsche Handschrift in brauner und rosa Tinte auf Papier. (211) SS. auf 116 Bll. Halblederband der Zeit. 8vo. Seltenes und schönes Zeugnis populärer Astrologie und Zahlenmagie im Zeitalter der Aufklärung. Auf einen kurzen "Vorbericht" zur Einführung in die Thematik und ein Anwendungsbeispiel ("Es träumt einem von Äpfeln, so wird in dem Alphabet unter Lit. A. gesucht [...]") folgt eine alphabetische Liste, die hunderten Begriffen von Aal bis Zwinger jeweils Lottozahlen von 1 bis 90 zuordnet. Eine anschließende Liste mit einem Auszug von 90 zuvor genannten Begriffen und der Wunsch "Viell-Glück" schließen diesen Teil des Werkes ab. - Es folgen kurze Abschnitte mit einem Planetenkalender, einer Erklärung der Tierkreiszeichen, einer "Regula Astrologa", einer Liste mit kabbalistischen Zahlen für die 12 Monate, sowie einer Anleitung für das "geheime Italiänische Würfelspiel" mit dazugehöriger Punktetabelle. Das Manuskript wird als Übersetzung des Werks eines Astrologen aus San Marino ausgewiesen: "Von einen wohl erfahrnen italiänischen Stern Deuter in St. Marino verfasset und aus dem Italiänischen in daß Deutsche übersetzet 1791". Tatsächlich steht das Manuskript in der Tradition des neapolitanischen Traumdeutungsbuchs "La Smorfia", abgeleitet von Morpheus, dem Gott der Träume und Interpretation, das bis heute von italienischen Lottospielern benutzt wird. Das Traumdeutungssystem zu den italienischen Lottozahlen 1-90 dürfte auf das frühe 18. Jahrhundert zurückgehen, die zugrundeliegende Zahlenmystik und Traumdivination sind freilich viel älter. In Österreich wurde die erste staatliche Lotterie 1751 unter dem Namen "Lotto di Genova" durch Maria Theresia eingeführt. - Als typische Gebrauchsliteratur sind erhaltene Exemplare von "La Smorfia" äußerst selten.
