LOS VIAJES DE GULLIVER
Los viajes de Gulliver (1726) aparecido como obra anónima siete años después del Robinson Crusoe de Defoe cuenta los fantásticos viajes del cirujano y capitán de barco Lemuel Gulliver tras su naufragio en una isla perdida. Pronto Gulliver descubrirá que la isla está habitada por una increíble sociedad de seres humanos de tan solo seis pulgadas de estatura los liliputienses engreidos y vanidosos ciudadanos de Liliput. En un segundo viaje Gulliver descubre Brodbingnag una tierra poblada por hombres gigantes de gran capacidad práctica pero incapaces de pensamientos abstractos. En su tercer viaje va a parar a la isla volante de Laputa cuyos habitantes son científicos e intelectuales ciertamente pedantes obsesionados con su particular campo de investigación pero totalmente ignorantes del resto de la realidad.

Jonsson, Runolfur (Runolphus Jonas).
Recentissima antiquissimae linguae septentrionalis incunabula. Id est grammaticae Islandicae rudimenta [...]. Copenhagen, Petrus Hakius, 1651.
4to (160 x 189 mm). (16), 168 pp. Title-page printed in red and black. With woodcut head- and tail-pieces and decorative initials. 18th or early 19th century full vellum with gilt spine, giltstamped green spine label, and handwritten place and date to spine. All edges sprinkled red. First edition, rare. - The first grammar of the Icelandic language, and indeed the first complete grammar of any Scandinavian language. Jonsson's seminal work promotes the wealth and elegance of his native tongue, utterly "insisting on the precedence of Icelandic over the other nordic languages" (Jauman). Composing what is essentially an invitation to study Icelandic, Jonsson systematically applied to his mother tongue the insights he had gained studying other languages including Hebrew, Greek, Latin, English, and German. - Title-page a little stained and spotted, lightly browned throughout. Large tears to a4 and b4 torn, repaired with loss to text. Larger traces of worming to most leaves to circa D1, thereafter diminishing to one or two small holes within text, disappearing entirely from O3 onwards. Still a good copy of a classic of 17th century linguistics. - Provenance: from the collection of Sir Walter Halsey (1868-1950) with his armorial "Gaddesden Library" bookplate to front flyleaf. BL-STC Scandinavian R 478. Bruun IV, 58. Fiske 306. 378. Jauman/Stiening, Neue Diskurse der Gelehrtenkultur in der Frühen Neuzeit. OCLC 792882312.

JORIS, Lieve
BACK TO THE CONGO
Bound, black cloth, illustrated black dustjacket, 135 x 220mm., 231pp. ISBN 0333543696. When she was a child, Joris's missionary uncle traveled to the Belgian Congo and returned bearing gifts and telling wonderful stories. As an adult, Joris traveled to contemporary Zaire in order to see what her uncle had seen. She found a persistent memory of colonization and of the "other," finally making the colonial past and its consequences the main motifs of her book. The boat to Zaire, the urban areas and Kinshasa, the "bush" and interior--all are described in a clear personal voice, with a journey on the Zaire river to the town of Kisangani the high point of her adventure. The people she met, rather than any view of nature, motivates her writing. Because this travel book has a particular vision--it is especially concerned with the Belgian version of Africa--it will appeal to a select audience. In good condition.
