Jeffries, David.
A treatise on diamonds and pearls. In which their importance is considered: and plain rules are exhibited for ascertaining the value of both: and the true method of manufacturing diamonds. London, C. & J. Ackers, for the author, 1750.
8vo. (6), IV, (16), 69, (3) pp. With 30 engraved plates (some depicting cuts of diamonds) and tables. Contemporary mottled calf with gilt dentelle border and corner fleurons (rubbed); modern spine on 5 raised bands. Rare first edition of the "first book in English to describe how diamonds and pearls can be evaluated on the basis of the factors of size (or weight) and style of cut" (Sinkankas). The London jeweller Jeffries is also the first author to provide "a clear statement of the principle that the value of pearls should be calculated to the square of their weight [...] This principle is implicit in the valuation tables given by earlier authors, including Tavernier and others, but Jeffries is the first to state it explicitly. At the back of his book, he provides tables allowing the calculation of the value of individual and batches of pearls of different size or quality. This is effectively a 'chau' book, as used by merchants in the Gulf and India until the mid-20th century, and fulfils exactly the same function" (Carter). - "The text explains the [diamond] cutting procedure, how the evaluation rules were derived, the importance of imperfections and flaws as affecting price, notes on rough diamonds [...] and finally, a somewhat similar procedure for the valuation of pearls, with highest values accorded to pearls of closest approach to spherical perfection, luster, etc. The mathematical rule used for the pearl is known as the 'square of the weight' multiplied by a per-carat base price" (Sinkankas). - Includes a list of subscribers in the preliminaries. Occasional spotting, a few small stains. Small tape repair to title, plates 5 & 6 with short repaired tears (no loss). Professional repairs to corners; modern spine (repairs including the first inch of the covers); modern endpapers. Removed from the Library of the Birmingham Assay Office, one of the four assay offices in the United Kingdom, with their library stamp to the title-page. Sinkankas 3195. Carter, Sea of Pearls, p. 83, 125f., 251 (with illustrations). Goldsmiths' 8500. Hoover 453 (note). Cf. Roller/G. II, 10.

First edition in French of this early book describing "how diamonds and pearls can be evaluated on the basis of the factors of size (or weight) and style of cut" (Sinkankas).

It is dedicated by the translator (the Royal librarian Chappotin S. Laurent) to the sixteen-year-old Louis Joseph de Bourbon, prince de Condé, on the occasion of his marriage to Charlotte de Rohan. - Hinges weak, corners and spine-ends bumped and chipped.

Jode, Cornelis de.
Secundae Partis Asiae [...]. Antwerp, 1593.
20 x 13 inches. Hand-coloured. Fine example of De Jode's modern map of the Middle East, from his Speculum Orbis Terrae, published in Antwerp in 1578 and engraved by Joannes & Lucas van Deutecum. The complete title reads: "Secundae partis Asiae: typus qua oculis subijciuntur itinera nautarum qui Calecutium Indiae mercandorum aromatum caufa fre quentant, ac eorum quoqz qui terrestri itinere ade unt Suacham, Laccam, in domino Praeto Iani, nec non eorum qui Aden et ormum inuifunt, et Balsaram quoque castrum, supra Euphratem fluuium situm, omnia suis gradibus subiecta, cum longitudinis tum latitudinis / Iacobo Castaldo pedemontano authore; Gerhardus de Iode excudebat". As noted in the title, the map was prepared by Gerard De Jode's and is largely identical to Giacomo Gastaldi's highly influential map of 1559. De Jode's delineation of Arabia is vastly superior to the contemporary maps of Ortelius, showing far more accuracy and detail. Extending from the Nile to Afghanistan and centered on the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf, the map depicts what was then still among the most important trading centers of the commercial world. The present example is from the first edition of De Jode's work, which can be distinguished from the second edition by the pagination on the verso (VII for the 1578 edition; 9 for the 1593 edition). The map is drawn from the rare first edition of De Jode's Speculum Orbis Terrarum. At least one commentator has opined that as few as 11 known examples of the first edition are known to have survived, making separate maps from this first edition very rare on the market. - Giacomo Gastaldi (fl. 1542-1565) is widely considered to be the most important and influential of all of the Lafreri School mapmakers. Born in Piedmont, Gastaldi worked in Venice, where he become Cosmographer to the Venetian Republic. Karrow described him as "one of the most important cartographers of the sixteenth century. He was certainly the greatest Italian mapmaker of his age..." While his achievement is obvious, it is hard to quantify. A large number of maps were published throughout this period with the geography credited to Gastaldi, but it is often difficult to know what role Gastaldi played in their creation. As a practice, he did not sign himself as publisher, although his name may be found in the title, dedication, or text to the reader. Frequently where there is no imprint one may assume that Gastaldi was the publisher. A further clue may be that many of the maps attributable to Gastaldi as publisher seem to have been engraved by Fabius Licinius. In other cases, where publication is credited to another, it is not always certain whether Gastaldi was commissioned by the publisher to compile the map, whether another less-enterprising publisher merely copied his work and attribution, or simply added Gastaldi's name in the title to add authority to the delineation. His name clearly commanded the same sort of respect that the Sanson name had in the last years of the seventeenth century, and as Guillaume de L'Isle's had in the first half of the eighteenth century. Gastaldi's first published map was of Spain, engraved on four sheets, and issued in 1544. The following year he published a map of Sicily, among the most widely copied of all his maps. In the course of a prolific career, Gastaldi subsequently produced a number of maps of Italy, and individual parts of the peninsula, with his general map of Italy, and the map of Piedmont also being very influential. Among the most important of his maps, however, were of areas outside Italy. Principal among these was his map of the World, published in 1546, a four sheet map of the countries of south-eastern Europe, published in 1559, and his series of three maps of the Middle East, Southern Asia, and South-East Asia with the Far East, issued between 1559 and 1561.

Johann Alois KALTNER:
Die erste Deutsche Pilgerfahrt nach Jerusalem und Palästina. Original-Mittheilunge von Johann Alois Kaltner, Mitglied der Karavane, Pfarrkurat des St. Johanns-Spitales zu Salzburg.
Erstausgabe dieses Reiseberichts des Geistlichen und Autors religiöser Schriften Johann Alois Kaltner, Pfarrer an der Salzburger Krankenhauskirche St. Johannes (heute LKH), der als Teil einer Gruppe von 18 namentlich erwähnten, aus unterschiedlichen Gegenden Deutschlands und Österreichs zusammengekommenen Männern und unter Vorsitz des Wiener Pfarrers Urban Loritz stehenden Pilgergruppe zwischen 26. Februar und 4. Juni 1855 eine Wallfahrt nach Jerusalem und Palästina unternahm. Gemeinsam u.a. mit anderen Geistlichen, Adeligen (u.a. Graf Hubert Harnoncour-Unverzagt), Handwerkern, einem Kunstmaler, einem Buchhändler und einem Fabriksbesitzer ging es zunächst mit Schiffen der Lloyd über Triest und Izmir nach Jaffa (Tel Aviv), danach auf dem Landweg nach Jerusalem, Nazareth und auf den Berg Karmel, und schließlich über Haifa und Alexandria und Triest wieder per Schiff zurück. Kaltner stellte den hier abgedruckten Bericht in Form von Briefen an seine Schwester zusammen, in denen er beschreibt, was ihm und seinen Mitreisenden „Freundliches und Unfreundliches begegnet ist, oder aber auch, was dieselben an den heiligen Orten gesehen, erlebt und empfunden haben.“ (Vorwort, S. VII). 1860 erschien eine 2., erweiterte und mit einem Stahlstich sowie 2 Karten versehene Auflage. - Buchblock etwas verzogen, Rücken am Vordergelenk etwas eingerissen, Umschlaghinterseite mit einigen kleinen Tintenflecken, einige Lagen lose, sonst sauberes, nicht stockfleckiges Exemplar dieses seltenen Wallfahrerberichts. Gemäß OCLC und KVK ist der Titel nur in 6 institutionellen Beständen weltweit nachweisbar (Diözesanbibliothek Salzburg, UB Salzburg (2x), Stiftsbibliothek Kremsmünster, ÖNB und Zentralbibliothek Zürich). - Hans-Jürgen und Jutta Kornrupf: Fremde im Osmanischen Reich 1826-1912/13, 2.
