His knowledge and analysis of the language allowed him to establish that the Donation of Constantine was a forgery perhaps his most famous work.

1783réf. 7140Madrid: Miguel Escribano 1783. Hardcover Tapa dura. Madrid Miguel Escribano 1783. 3 volúmenes. En 4º. -I: 4 viii-474 pp. -II: 4 425 pp. -III: 4 400 pp. Texto a dos columnas. Encuadernación en pergamino original. Cuarta edición de este famoso Diccionario Geográfico publicado originalmente en inglés y cuya traducción al castellano tuvo mucho éxito en su época pues era el único existente en su tiempo para el público español; esta es la cuarta edición en nuestra lengua y la primera corregida por el erudito Antonio de Montpalau. Contiene la descripción "de las naciones imperios reynos repúblicas y otros estados provincias territorios ciudades villas y lugares memorables lagos rios desiertos montañas volcanes mares puertos golfos islas penínsulas istmos bancos cabos &c. que se encuentran en el globo terráqueo". La traducción castellana no está tomada directamente del inglés original sino de la traducción francesa de Mr. Wosgien publicada en 1756 y de nuevo en 1772 muy aumentada. Esta edición corregida por Montpalau es acaso la más importante: "se han añadido mas de cuatrocientos artículos nuevos; se han rehecho con mejores noticias y descripciones cerca de dos mil; ascendiendo el número de los artículos casi refundidos del todo á otros tantos. En una palabra se puede asegurar que este Diccionario tan plagado de defectos y equivocaciones que apenas había palabra que no fuese un yerro ó de imprenta ó de ortografía ó de ignorancia sale en esta nueva edición no solo enmendado sino en realidad renovado".

1773réf. C2470vii384 pages with numerous woodcuts and decorative initials throughout. Small quarto 8" x 5 3/4" bound in half leather over marbled boards. Bibliotheca van der Linde-Niemeijeriana: Not listed From the library of J W Rimington Wilson. Second edition. First edition published in 1769. Domenico Lorenzo Ponziani was an 18th-century Italian law professor priest chess player composer and theoretician. He is best known today for his chess writing. Ponziani was friend with fellow Modenese chess players and writers Ercole del Rio and Giambattista Lolli and collectively the trio is known as the Modenese Masters. In 1769 Ponziani published the first edition of Il giuoco incomparabile degli scacchi The Incomparable Game of Chess. As Ponziani did not include his name in this work Opera d'Autore Modenese it was identified to the Anonymous Modenese. The edition in 1782 was much improved and laid out the principles of the Italian school of chess as exemplified by 17th-century Italian masters such as Gioachino Greco. Although Ponziani identified himself in the second edition the 1820 translation by English naval officer J. B. Smith using the pen name J. S. Bingham The Incomparable Game of Chess attributed the work to del Rio. Ponziani's work is the best practical guide produced by the Modenese Masters. Like writings by del Rio and Lolli Ponziani deals only with the opening and endgame with no discussion of the middlegame. In the opening the primary objective is to obtain the maximum amount of mobility for the pieces aiming in particular for vulnerable points such as the f2 or f7 square. No importance is attached to formation or maintenance of a pawn center pawns are used to drive back enemy pieces. Ponziani 1782 also gave an example of an endgame blockade or fortress in which the inferior side is able to hold a draw despite having only two minor pieces for the queen by hemming in the opposing king. In the opening Ponziani is best known as the eponym of the Ponziani Opening 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 although he did not originate it as it was published by Lucena around 1497. His name is properly attached to the Ponziani Countergambit 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.c3 f5 in the Ponziani Opening as he published the first analysis in 1782. Wikipedia James Wilson Rimington-Wilson 1822-1877 was one of the great collectors of books about chess as well as books about other games and sports. He was a strong amateur chess player and records of some of his games survive including a victory over Wilhelm Steinitz the first official world champion of chess. Rimington-Wilson developed an extensive gaming library which was maintained and perhaps added to by his son Reginald Henry Rimington-Wilson 1852-1927. After the death of R. H. his son Captain H. E. Rimington-Wilson 1899-1971 ordered the sale of the library by auction at Sotheby's. It was the Quaritch firm that purchased the vast majority of the Rimington-Wilson lots at Sotheby's. They offered the books in two catalogues shortly after the sale. Condition: Provenance J W Rimington Wilson with his signature to front paste down.
