1850ref. 10086Florence: Not Published. ca 1850. Unique. Contemporary half leather. Very good. 8vo 256 pp. A set of what are apparently scribal notes to lectures with extensive additional hip notes throughout in the hand of a student who has signed the last leaf. There are two subjects. A brief 18 page section devoted to blood letting followed by a lengthy highly detailed exposition of the problems and cures for inflammation. The notes are identified by a spine label that reads : Buffalini / Salasso / E / Flogosi. M Buffalini was Italy's leading clinician in the period between 1830 and 1865. A lecturer of some renown he was also responsible for re-directing medical study in Italy on absolute scientific principles and clinical experience. Hirsch I 761-762. Not Published. hardcover books

ref. 22057Italy Sixteenth century. Good with some modest surface abrasion and minor loss to a part of the applied stitched strapwork decoration; some light fading of original color in the thread of the portrait. Embroidered panel measuring appx. 454 x 570 mm. Apparels such as this were produced throughout Italy. The work would have been undertaken by a number of people to do the background portrait and decorative elements. A variety of thread was used. The piece is quite heavy indicating the use of metallic wire wrapped around silk thread. The border frame outermost perimeter is entirely metal wire thread. Color dyed silk thread is used in the portrait in order to effect "depth" and realism and to accomplish the figure's modelling. It is assumed that the subject is St. Anthony of Egypt given the cross that accompanies the figure. The strapwork foliate ornamentation is first seen in Islamic manuscripts and artwork; taken up in Italy where it was used in an array of decorative arts eventually to spread throughout Europe. unknown books

Plymouth : G. P. Hearder 1843. Duodecimo modern marbled papered boards with gilt-lettered Morocco title-piece to upper board; pastedown with ex libris of G. & N. Ingleton; original printed blue wrappers bound in title with ownership inscription of noted Plymouth Dissenter Robert Govett 1813-1901 pp. 58 folding colour map; occasional light foxing a very good copy with a newspaper article on the Siege of Plymouth cut from the Western Daily Mercury 11 December 1874 mounted on 3 leaves at rear. A scarcely recorded account of the Siege of Plymouth by the Royalists in the Civil War locally published in the bicentennial year of the bloodiest episode in the city's history. Although the source documents on which the narrative is based are not explicitly stated it seems likely that the diary of John Syms Puritan naval chaplain and librarian was one of them. Having refused to surrender to the Royalists the citizenry of Plymouth signed a solemn covenant to fight to the last man; although poorly armed the defenders managed to overcome a formidable attacking force commanded by Sir Richard Grenville. The town held out for the next four years until the Parliamentary army finally prevailed over the Royalists. With the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 however retribution was exacted by King Charles II against the leaders of the Plymouth resistance many of whom were imprisoned.

The four regions alluded to in the title are Europe Asia Africa and America; however Oceania is represented in the section Amerique through the inclusion of a three-page description accompanied by a plate of the Friendly Isles Tonga. Among the other engraved plates are depictions of the indigenous inhabitants of Florida Tierra del Fuego China Ceylon Senegal Persia Turkey Russia and Spain. The geography is followed by short primers in French grammar arithmetic penmanship and drawing. No copy traced in Australian libraries. hardcover

Together they address three of the central controversies of the Reformation settlement: Protestant rejection of the authority and constitution of the Council of Trent proposals for the reform and proper ordering of the Church and Georg Cassanders conciliatory argument for restoring Communion to the laity under both bread and wine.The volume has particularly attractive bibliophile provenance. It bears the engraved maritime ex-libris and ownership stamp of the eighteenth-century collector Captain J.-G. Michiels followed by the manuscript ownership inscription J. F. Vandevelde identifiable with the theologian librarian and major Belgian bibliophile Jean-François / Jan Frans Van de Velde 17431823. Both collectors are independently recorded among earlier owners represented in the celebrated library of the Rev. Joseph Mendham whose collection was particularly rich in Reformation Roman Catholic and Council of Trent material and subsequently passed to the Law Society. The present volume bears the Law Society armorial bookplate; an origin in the Mendham Collection is therefore highly probable although its precise Mendham catalogue entry has not yet been identified.Bound in eighteenth-century calf with gilt border to the boards marbled endpapers and red edges. The binding is now defective with both boards detached and substantial loss of the spine leather but the text block remains sound and the three constituent works are internally notably well preserved.
