Central worm-track to final seven mentioned works with loss of text and sense in places.

Two of the pamphlets are of particular note; firstly Artiickelen van het bestant ghesloten ende gheconcludeert voor XII a record of the proclamation of the Treaty of Antwerp issued in 1609 which initiated the Twelve Years' Peace an armistice between the Netherlands and Spain in the midst of the Eighty Years' War.; and secondly Articulen Ende Conditien vanden Tractate an official text of the condition of the 1585 surrender of Antwerp to Spanish condottiero Aleesandro Farnese following a lengthy siege. .

I and a couple of gathering from vol. II with waterstain tide mark (not unsightly), recent red half morocco, marbled boards, contrasting green morocco title label to spine, five raised bands, tooled in gilt. Robert Dossie (1717-1777) was a rigourous advocate for the advantages of improved public knowledge. With the publication of this work he provided information and instruction to the reader in a multitude of trades, many never before disclosed outside there trades. As a resource, it was well regarded by eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century artisans and became the standard work for practical techniques of that era.

1800ref. 1744c.1800. Eight decorative writing sheets of laid paper with elaborate engraved decorative borders with hand-colouring each contemporaneously mounted to card with pink and blue coloured paper edges and a blank sheet of laid paper affixed to the rear. The group including five different designs. Each measuring between 36.5 x 26cm and 33 x 24cm. Three apparently unused the other five with contemporary cut blank paper sections affixed to the central panels presumably to cover previous manuscript text/signs of use. There is rubbing to the coloured paper edging and some occasional light finger marking and dust soiling otherwise condition is very good indeed. A visually striking collection of writing sheets dating to the close of the eighteenth century most likely French decorated with vibrantly hand-coloured engraved Rococo borders incorporating fairies cherubs and sphinxes. Their particular use in this instance is somewhat unclear although being mounted to stiff card and with some having replaced sections to the blank panel it possible that they were being utilised as menu cards. unknown

8vo. 31, (1) pp. Later blue wrappers. A compact Latin treatise on the ancient medical art of cupping, recorded already in the works of classical medical writers Galen and Celsus. This pocket-size booklet contained everything a doctor needed to know to make use of the technique in mid-sixteenth century Europe. - As typical of humanist medical studies, the anonymous work begins with a brief reflection on the Greek origins of cupping. It then describes the uses of the technique for the extraction of blood and the manipulation of the humours. Already on page 4 the relative safety of the non-invasive procedure is emphasised: "Idque auxilium ut minus vehemens, ita magis tutum". The author then goes on to discuss the various materials used for making the cups or "cucurbitulae" (literally, "little pumpkins" or "gourds"), how to use them, for how long, where in the various areas of the body, and against which ailments they can be employed. Modern readers interested in the history of the use of cupping to reduce pain and inflammation in the lower back will be pleased to see mention of the technique to this end on pp. 27-28. - The book has moderate to severe browning to the edges of the pages thoughout, more pronounced on pp. 11-14 but not affecting the text. On the first and final pages, the cover has formerly become adhesed to the paper, the later removal of which has left marks. The paper cover shows some black staining to the spine; numerous tears in the wrapper reveal frequent use. Rare. BM-STC French 126. Adams D 169. Wellcome I, 1690. OCLC 17534872. Not in Durling.

From the collection of Franke Parker, Rector of Luffincott, Devon, and bequeathed by him to the Bishopric of Cornwall (cf. the bookplate on front pastedown): thus, in 1883 the volume was acquired by Henry Phillpotts, the Bishop of Exeter (then administrating Cornwall); his library was dispersed in 2006.

(last blank), 24 ff., 1226, (2) pp. (6), (11) ff., 1 blank f., 870, (2) pp. (4), 18 ff., 986, (2) pp. (6), 15 ff., 1 blank f., 927, (1) pp. (2), 14 ff., 791, (1) pp. Title-page printed in red and black throughout.

LThK). - All volumes but the first bear a ms. dedication on the front flyleaf: "Dises Buech ist dem Herrn Spitelmaister unnd seinem Convent zu Memmingen von Herr Jacob Fugger dem Eltern verehrt worden Imm December Ao. 1588"; all volumes are marked on their spines as "Donum generosi dni. Baronus Jacobi Fuggeri" (the original flyleaf of vol. 1 is probably lost). Jacob Fugger (1542-98; after 1560: Herr von Babenhausen, Wellenburg und Boos) was the son of the banker Anton Fugger (nephew and successor of Jacob Fugger "the Wealthy"). He was known as "the Elder" to distinguish him from his like-named nephew (1567-1626) who in 1588 was still a student in Rome and later became Bishop of Constance. - Slight worming throughout, more pronounced in vol. 2 (especially near beginning and end; some loss to text). The splendid, exceptionally well-preserved pigskin bindings (slightly rubbed, back cover of vol. 2 showing minute chafing, otherwise perfect) are probably the work of the Augsburg master Jakob Bitmer (cf. Haebler). Adams C 2773. Edit 16, CNCE 13060. LThK VI, 185. OCLC 6967756. Not in BM-STC Italian. Binding's plate stamps: Haebler I, 55f.: I.B. VI, plates I & II.
