No. 3 of 25 copies for sale folio size 52 pp. The story begins: "I was present during the Great Plague of 1665 It took away my life" he said. Per the artist this work originally produced by her in 1967 is "about a man who is killed by the plague in London in 1665; I have brought him to life again so that he can tell his story." The story unfolds as a series of nine eerily wonderful etchings by Angela Lemaire which were inspired by the sufferings of the plague victims. Each enclosed in a separate leaf and introduced with a quotation from scripture also dealing with suffering with each plate numbered and signed by her. Ms. Lemaire's Afterword tells the story of her inspiration for the work and the essay by Anthony Dyson discusses the making and proofing of the plates which is a story worthy on its own merits. ___DESCRIPTION: Unbound folio sheets each with letterpress printing on the first and last pages inserted between the plates the images from zinc plates with each plate signed and numbered by the artist in pencil.

1584ref. 4759Venice: apud Franciscum Zilettum 1584. SOLE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in 18th c. quarter vellum and patterned paste-paper. A fine copy. Small stain to leaf H4 and margin of b3 very pale dampstain to two gatherings. Woodcut printer's devices on main and divisional title page. Rare. 5 copies traced in North America: Hagley Museum Michigan Newberry NLM Columbia. A very rare compilation of works by the Brescian physician and scientist Giovanni Planerio of Quinzano d'Oglio. Included are treatises on the medicinal benefits of milk including for the treatment of tuberculosis herbal remedies for constipation and urinary complaints a description of the plague outbreak that afflicted his home town in 1529 and a discussion of the adverse health effects purported to have been brought on by the appearance of the comet of 1577. Planerio regards milk as both nourishment and medicine. He compares the relative nutritional and medicinal properties of the milk of humans and various animals establishing the following ranking: human milk first ass's milk second and goat's milk third while rejecting cow's and sheep's milk as having little medicinal value. Human milk he notes is preferably taken directly from the breast. In his "Letters on Morals and Conduct" Planerio recommends a number of remedies for urinary complaints including preparations using sheep's milk asparagus fennel and parsley; and a popular drink made with honey. For constipation he recommends barley infusions and laxative pastes as well as daily exercise. Planerio next gives a thorough account of the plague outbreak in his hometown of Quinzano d'Oglio in 1529. "He described the wailing and moaning and finally how people became accustomed to ever-present death the absence of funerals as people were buried in mass graves that were covered by so little earth that the stench of the corpses seemed to be quite literally poisoning the air." Stolberg Learned Physicians and Everyday Medical Practice in the Renaissance p. 100 Pianeri also offers a detailed examination of the Great Comet of 1577 a significant astronomical event that captivated observers across Europe and beyond and considers its role as a portent of disruption. This comet was notable not only for its brightness but also for the role it played in challenging prevailing astronomical theories of the time. Planerio discusses the calamities believed to follow from such celestial configurations including war famine political upheaval mortality and disease. Among the specifically medical effects attributed to comets are acute fevers and bodily pains sometimes so severe as to lead to death. The Great Comet of 1577 appeared unexpectedly and was visible to the naked eye prompting widespread observation and documentation. Its sudden appearance and striking presence spurred debates among astronomers and philosophers regarding the nature and origin of comets. Prior to this event the Aristotelian view predominated positing that comets were atmospheric phenomena occurring within the Earth's atmosphere. The observations of the 1577 comet however provided evidence that challenged this perspective suggesting that comets were celestial bodies located beyond the Moon. The Great Comet of 1577 was first observed on November 1 1577 in Peru. In Europe sightings began around November 7 1577 with notable observations by Tycho Brahe starting on November 13 1577. The comet remained visible to the naked eye until March 1578. In his treatise Pianeri meticulously documents the comet's appearance trajectory and duration. Based on his own data and observations made by Tycho Brahe Michael Maestlin and Cornelius Gemma Pianeri assesses the comet to be a supralunary phenomenon occurring in the celestial rather than atmospheric realm. Pianeri records that he first observed the comet on November 10 1577 in the constellation of Sagittarius. His observations continued through early December. From its initial observed position in Sagittarius the comet moved through Capricorn and Aquarius approaching Pisces around December 1. He provides detailed observations of its brightness and the length of its tail. The comet was exceptionally bright comparable to Venus with a well-defined nucleus exhibiting a slightly reddish hue. The comet's tail extended up to 30 degrees across the sky on November 15 slightly curved with a pale yellowish color gradually decreasing to about 15 degrees by December 1. The comet remained visible from Pianeri's vantage until December 5 1577 with its brightness diminishing over time. The Arrival of Henry III at Venice Planerio gives a detailed account of Henry III's passage through Venice in July 1574 on his return from Poland to assume the French crown. He describes the elaborate Venetian reception including the king's ceremonial entry triumphal architecture processions in the Bucentaur religious observances banquets illuminations musical performances glassmaking demonstrations visits to the Arsenal and other civic institutions dances and public entertainments. The work is particularly rich in descriptions of Venetian pageantry architecture material display and civic ceremony culminating in Henry's departure from the city on 27 July. apud Franciscum Zilettum hardcover
1865ref. 373230Richard Keene Derby Undated c.1865. 6th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. Eyam is best known for its remarkable decision to isolate itself in order to stop the spread of the bubonic plague after it was detected in the village. This tragic chapter in Eyam's history started in 1665 when a bundle of cloth infested with fleas was delivered from London to Alexander Hadfield the village tailor. The plague lasted for a duration of 14 months during which one report indicates that it claimed the lives of at least 260 villagers leaving only 83 survivors from an original population of 350. However this number has been disputed with some sources suggesting that there were 430 survivors from a total population of approximately 800. Additionally the church in Eyam maintains a record of 273 individuals who fell victim to the plague. Bound in blue contemporary cloth gilt lettered spine and gilt lettered & decorated upper board. A little wear at head of spine and a tiny piece missing from near foot. Colour photograph of Eyam Hall & Village Stocks to the reverse of the frontis engraving.
