1657ref. 66919London: Printed by J.G. for R. Royston 1657. The first example of French prose as we know it today"-PMM PASCAL Blaise. Les Provinciales: Or The Mysterie of Jesuitisme. Discover'd in certain Letters Written upon occasion of the present differences of Sorbonne between the Jansenists and the Molinists from January 1656 to March 1657. S.N. Displaying the corrupt Maximes and Politicks of that Society. Faithfully rendred into English. London: Printed by J.G. for R. Royston 1657. First edition in English first printed in French at Cologne in 1656-7. Twelvemo. 24 409 1 blank 6 pp. With preliminary blank a post-script leaf referring to the seventeenth letter and two final leaves of errata and advertisements. Added engraved title-page by Robert Vaughan. Eighteenth-century paneled calf neatly rebacked retaining old morocco lettering label. Spine lettered in gilt with decorative gilt board-edges. Eighteenth-century armorial bookplate of John Hustler of Acklam mounted on verso of engraved title-page. Early ink notations at bottom of engraved title-page. Leaves Q thru Q12 have been affected by printer's ink mostly just a little smudging; verso of Q10 is the only page where two lines of text have been affected. Apart from the few flaws this is a fine copy of a famous work. This work is a series of eighteen letters in which "Pascal defended Arnauld and satirized his Jesuit opponents and their theological and moral views. The work was published under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte and were probably the cooperative work of Pascal Arnauld and Pierre Nicole though they were principally Pascal" Edwards P. The Encyclopedia of Philosophy p. 52. Les Provinciales is considered one of the great French literary masterpieces and the first example of French prose. No translator's name ever appeared in any of the English editions and to this day the translator remains unknown. There is however a strong possibility that the work might have been translated by Evelyn. In 1664 a third volume on Jesuitisme appeared and the translation was fully acknowledged by Evelyn. In his diaries he writes: "This day was publish'd by me that part of the Mysterie of Jesuitism translated and collected by me tho' without my name containing the Imaginarie Heresy with 4 letters and other pieces.Evelyn included the book in the list of his works sent to Dr. Plot and though he did not refer to it again in his Diary his interest in the subject remained very active" Keynes John Evelyn pp. 124-126.

1880ref. J3HGA8OYHYKWEgypt and elsewhere 1880. With 9 carte de visite albumen prints ca. 8.5 x 5.5 cm by Hammerschmidt and Van Lint two albumen prints 9.5 x 12.5 cm by Sébah mounted on paper one silver gelatin print 8.5 x 11.5 cm by Lehnert & Landrock and one silver gelatin print 27 x 21 cm by Schroeder & Cie in a passepartout. Collection of early photographs of North-Africa and the Middle East by several photographers who had worked in the region. The main part of this collection consists of carte de visite portraits by Wilhelm Hammerschmidt ca. 1830-1869 from the 1860s. Most of them show Egyptians including a porter carrying a large chest on his back and a blind man. Three outdoor photographs show a group of men one holding a pipe almost as long as himself a camel rider and two camels in profile. Two larger photographs by the firm of Pascal Sébah from Istanbul date from the 1870s or 1880s and show a caravan halting in the desert. Of later date is the single image by the photographic duo Lehnert & Landrock who worked in Tunis in 1904-1914. Their picture which was popularly used in picture postcards shows a small group overlooking an oasis near Tripoli. The largest and most artistic photograph is by the Swiss firm Schroeder & Cie and dates from the 1880s. This striking image shows the Mosque of Muhammad Ali in Cairo with the crumbling remains of a rock and wall acting as repoussoir and a figure at the front watching from the shade. A strange stowaway in this collection is a single carte de visite by the Italian photographer Enrico Van Lint 1829-1882 of "Galileo's Lamp" the bronze lamp which Vincenzo Possenti created after a drawing by Leon-Battista Alberti in 1587 for the Pisa Cathedral.With 4 of the cartes de visite labelled on the back and one stamped with a name; the paper of the Sebáh photograph with an inscription in English and the Schroeder with an inscription on the back. Some of the sheets or cards on which the photographs are mounted are somewhat tattered at the edges and the cartes de visite have probably been trimmed. Photograph by Lehnert & Landrock with a diagonal fold. All photographs are otherwise in very good condition. unknown

Les provinciales ou les lettres escrites par Louis de Montalte a un provincial des ses amis & aux RR. PP. Jesuites: Sur le sujet de la morale et de la politique de ces peres.

1657ref. ABC_49981Cologne: Pierre de la Vallee = Amsterdam Lodewijk & Daniel Elzevier 1657. 19th-century blind-tooled black morocco with the title and author lettered in gold on the spine a double filet border on both boards blind-tooled board edges and turn-ins a red ribbon marker red sprinkled edges marbled endpapers. 12mo. With a woodcut vignette on the title page and several decorated woodcut initials in the text. 2 parts in 1 volume. First issue of the first definitive edition marking a pivotal moment in the works history: the first time the Pascal letters were gathered into a single volume with continuous pagination. Issued under the pseudonym Louis de Montalte and bearing the fictitious Cologne imprint of Pierre de la Vallée the work was in fact printed in Amsterdam by the Elzevier press. Although it is the second edition overall it offers for the first time a coherent and authorially revised text as Pascal himself oversaw revisions to the letters before publication refining their style and argument. It is consequently regarded as the authoritative edition. The 18th letter published after the printing had been completed was appended separately.Blaise Pascal 1623-1662 was a mathematician physicist and religious thinker. In the Provinciales he combines theological argument with a clear and carefully structured prose style. His treatment of complex doctrinal issues in an accessible and engaging manner contributed to the wide readership of the letters beyond strictly scholarly audiences. Few books capture the intellectual tension of 17th-century France as vividly as the Lettres provinciales. Conceived in the heat of the bitter dispute between Jansenists and Jesuits these 18 letters first appeared not as a book but as a series of anonymous pamphlets published between January 1656 and March 1657. At the time of the present works publication it was arguably the most widely read work in France and its blend of humour logic and rhetorical precision helped define what would become classical French style.The opening 398 pages contain the complete series of letters combining theological precision with devastating satire. Written in the guise of correspondence from Paris to a provincial friend they expose and ridicule the casuistical reasoning of Jesuit moral theology with a brilliance that ensured their immediate success. At once playful and incisive Pascals prose moves effortlessly between irony and indignation creating a new standard for French writing.The second part of the present work turns from satire to direct theological intervention. It contains the Avis de Messieurs les Curés de Paris attributed to Antoine Arnauld 1612-1694 a central figure of the Jansenist movement and a close ally of Pascal. This text anchors the work firmly within the doctrinal controversies of the time particularly the defence of Arnauld following his condemnation by the Sorbonne.With the later manuscript initials "C.E." on the title page. The boards and spine are somewhat rubbed. The work is slightly browned throughout with occasional mild foxing. Otherwise in good condition.l Berghman Stockholm 102; Brunet IV no. 890; PMM 140; STCN 853094535 9 copies; USTC 1841842 11 copies; VD17 23:329180S; Willems 1218.

Panorama de Constantinople Pris de la Tour de Calata sic Panorama of Constantinople Taken from the Galata Tower 10 ALBUMEN PHOTOGRAPHS

1890ref. 54541Constantinople: Sebah & Joaillier 1890. First edition. Hardcover. vg- to vg. Oblong small folio. 12 1/4 x 14 1/4". Red pebbled cloth boards with decorative gilt ruling tooling and lettering on the covers. Rebacked maroon leather spine. Gilt-stamped crescent moon and star motif the national emblem of Turkey on the back cover. Taken from the Galata Tower in what is now the Karaköy neighborhood of Istanbul this magnificent panorama displays the skyline and cityscape of Constantinople as it appeared sometime in the late 1880s or early 1890s. The panorama is comprised of 10 original albumen photographs mounted on heavy card stock and bound together in accordion style leporello measuring a total of more then 11 feet when completely unfolded. Shot in a southwardly direction the viewer can see Galata Karaköy in the foreground and from left to right across the Bosporus to the Uskudar district on the Asian side and then across the harbor at the mouth of the Golden Horn the Galata Bridge and across to the Pérama neighborhood and the Faith district where many famous landmarks of the city can be seen including the New Mosque Topkapi Palace Hagia Sophia and many others. Each panel measures about 13" wide and 12" tall. The photography is credited to "Sebah & Joaillier" one of the most prominent and prolific photography studios of Ottoman Empire during the second half of 19th century. Originally founded sometime around 1857 in Instanbul by Syrian-Armenian photographer Pascal Sebah 1823-1886 the studio was one of the earliest in the city and all of Ottoman Turkey. By the 1870s Sebah had become among the most prominent Ottoman photographers having also opened a branch of the studio in Cairo. Upon Sebah's death in 1888 the firm was taken over by his 16 year-old son Jean Pascal Sebah who then partnered with photographer Policarpe Joaillier 1848-1904. The firm was renamed "Sebah & Joaillier". Therefore although this panorama is undated it could not have been issued earlier than 1888; most likely sometime shortly thereafter circa 1890. Spine of of the portfolio has been professionally re-backed. Plates with minor to light foxing although the images are still quite clean and vibrant. Binding in very good images in very good- to very good condition overall. A slightly later version of the panorama from Sebah & Joaillier simply titled "Constantinople" is comprised of 12 slightly smaller panels instead of 10 and measures around the same size in total.
