1860ref. 3220383Chromolithograph panorama 8.8 x 296 cm on five conjoined strips; folding down into the original black cloth covers 9.1 x 11.2 cm. Rare and attractive if rather disconcerting tourist souvenir panorama of the Dance of Death. The panorama contains 43 separate scenes and is a reproduction of the 63 metre-long fresco painted on the inner wall of the cemetery of the Augustinan Convent Basel c.1440. that was possibly created under the influence of the plague epidemic of 1439. The sequence emphasises the vanity of social distinctions each character dancing with death. The wall and fresco were demolished in 1805 however a number of fragments survive in the Historisches Museum Basel. Identifications of the subjects is given in the bottom margin in French English and German. The English identifications read from left to right: Preacher Charnel House Pope Emperor Empress King Queen Cardinal Bishop Duke Duchess Earl Abbot Knight Lawyer Alderman Canon Doctor Nobleman Lady Merchant AbbessCripple Hermit Young Man Maiden Minstrel Herald Judge Headsman Jester Pedlar Blind Man Jew Pagan Paganess Cook Peasant Painter Painter's Wife Paradise and The Dance of Death. As a tailpiece a view of Todlenanz as it appeared in 1800. The panorama is derived from a watercolour copy by the still life painter Johann Rudolf Feyerabend 1779-1814 that was completed in 1806 and is also housed in the Historisches Museum Basel. [Basel?]

ref. 013769Honoré ou Honorat de Castellan, en réalité Duchastel dit Castellanus dit Castellan (1511-1569), docteur en médecine en 1544 à Montpellier, conseiller et médecin ordinaire des rois Henri II, François II et Charles IX (peut-être aussi premier médecin de ces trois rois), premier médecin de la reine Catherine de Médicis, oncle des médecins André et Richard du Laurens et beau-frère du médecin Louis Laurens (1511-1574) qui avait épousé sa soeur, mort de maladie au siège de Saint Jean d'Angély comme son ami Jean Chapelain. Il était natif de Barbentane (Bouches-du-Rhône). P.S., 15 janvier 1557, 1p in-8 oblong. Sur parchemin. Quittance pour le paiement de sa rente. Celle-ci fut payée par François de Vigny, receveur des finances de la ville de Paris, l'ancêtre d'Alfred de Vigny qui fut anobli. On trouve aussi sa trace comme premier médecin des trois rois, notamment dans l'Histoire administrative de Beaucaire publiée par Alexandre Eyssette. Il semble que ce soit l'origine de cette information sur laquelle nous avons quelque doute. [279-2]
ref. 013770Jean Chapelain ou Chapellain (ca.1515-1569), médecin ordinaire du roi François 1er puis du roi Henri II, premier médecin d'Henri II et de Charles IX, docteur régent de la faculté de Paris à partir de 1542, mort de maladie au siège de Saint Jean d'Angély comme son ami Honoré Castellan. P.S. « Chapellain », 4 avril 1567, in-4 oblong. Sur parchemin. Reçu pour le paiement de ses gages. Au dos, note probablement autographe : « pour servir de Reçu. » (5 lignes). Notons que Chapelain met ici 2 l à son nom quand le secrétaire a mis lui 2 p. Le docteur Le Paulmier, dans son Ambroise Paré (Paris, Perrin, 1887), le donne mort en 1543 par erreur puisqu'il le signale en même temps comme actif à la mort de François 1er en 1547. [279-2]

ref. 022253William Howe De Lancey (1778-1815), militaire britannique, quartier maître général, mort à Waterloo. L'un de ses faits d'armes est le siège de Ciudad Rodrigo en 1812. L.S., Gallegos de Argañán, 8 janvier 1812, 2p 1/2 in-4. Importante lettre à Alexander Dickson (1777-1840), autre officier important lors du siège de Ciudad Rodrigo, sur la préparation de ce siège, qui commence le 8 janvier et se finit le 19 janvier par la prise de la ville aux français par les troupes anglo-portugaises du duc de Wellington. Ce document détaille toutes les instructions pour l'organisation du siège. Citons quelques détails : les troupes doivent se relayer toutes 24 heures pour réduire l'exposition au froid et aux intempéries, il indique les trajets à emprunter, chaque soldat ne droit prendre que le nécessaire, des ouvriers viendront aider pour les positions d'artillerie, gestion des munitions, organisation des soins médicaux, etc. Lancey signe « Wm De Lancey DWMG » pour Deputy QuarterMaster General, i.e. quartier-maître général adjoint, son titre d'alors. Exceptionnel document sur cette bataille. [541]

1519Xilografia: incisione h mm 181, l mm 130; intera pagina h mm 260, l mm 182, margini ampi. Tratta dall'opera dall'opera "Sermones de Arbore Humana" di Johannes Grüninger, Straßburg,1519. L'incisione rafffigura la Morte che colpisce con le sue armi una intera famiglia, sotto gli occhi di un nobile rimasto illeso. In secondo piano una fiera è colpita anch'essa a morte. Al centro dell'incisione un albero di cedro, rappresentazione dei dodici frutti dello Spirito Santo, che servono per agevolare la pratica delle virtù sia teologali, sia morali. La diffusione del tema del memento mori (ricorda che devi morire) è utilizzato a partire dal cristianesimo con la grande peste del 1348, che infuriò in tutta Europa e che rese la morte un fenomeno familiare nei vari paesi europei. Iconograficamente soltanto i cadaveri, simboli del conturbante richiamo dell'aldilà, laicizzano l'ideale della morte stessa. Johannes Geiler. von Kaisersberg, così chiamato dal luogo di residenza del nonno, nacque il 16 marzo 1445 a Sciaffusa. Opera in buono stato di conservazione; in basso a destra segni di brunitura dovuti alla luce. Al verso dell'opera indice in latino da cui è tratta la tavola. . .
