Best.-Nr. D3808likely Paris early 19th century. 77pp. Manuscript on paper in French written in a uniform script in a significantly later hand c.1800 docketed copie dun ecrit de cet auteur the manuscript is a complete transcription of a fair copy of an astrological treatise which first appeared in 1555 written by prominent French astrologer and doctor Jacques de Viard; according to the dedication it was first transcribed in 1573 or 1574 when Viard would have been 56 years old. Containing three pen and ink diagrams depicting the twelve astrological houses with signs for the planetary rulership and planetary joys. Original 19th century wrappers; edges uniformly browned slightly brittle. The treatise is dedicated to Charles IX of France 1550-1574 who at the time of the original transcription c.1573 would have been suffering with tuberculosis and in his last year of life. The text was possibly revived at the request of the ailing king who like many of his peers relied on astrology to predict the future and distinguish the true from the false in their lives. This 19th century copy is an important record and is confirmation of the existence of this text. Jacques de Viard describes himself as Docteur en chacune faculté: Astrophil Medecin Conseiller et Phisiologue ordinaire du Roy et de la Royne and was an advisor who was intimately associated with the French court. Viard had also published the Fatal Diurnal 1567 a philosophical work which associated him with the prophetic Nostradamus. Nostradamus b.1503 a French physician and astrologer was the official court physician King Charles IX from 1564 until his death in 1566. It is possible Viard had become acting physician-in-ordinary or counselor to the King after Nostradamus death. Undeniably Viard was part of that circle in which prophecies horoscope and conspiracies dominated 16th century; astrology and sky observations played an important role in the courts of Europe at this time. This rare treatise is a fine example which confirms these popular notions. It is an exceptional survival of Viards collected studies on astrology. Viards treatise is dominated by the traditional division of astrology systems into twelve houses the horoscopes whose positions depend on time and location rather than on date. Furthermore the houses are also grouped together by Triplicity a theory which places one of the four elements fire earth air and water in the zodiac sign which it rules. It is possible Viard may have tried to give new elements or theories in his treatise for this branch of astrology in order to satisfy one of the Kings last requests. Rare transcription from a fair copy of an important 16th century astrological text by Jacques de Viard. Made for or associated with the royal court of King Charles IX of France. unknown books

"Stanislas de Guaita et sa bibliothèque occulte" 15 this copy; Caillet I 291; Graesse I 127; USTC 4022052. See also Thorndike VI pp. 202-04. A bit of rubbing at corners other light wear to the binding inconsequential foxing here and there isolated quires slightly darkened but an excellent copy--crisp and clean internally in a solid decorative binding still shining with gilt. In a lovely early binding this is a notorious 19th century occultist's copy of a scarce 17th century refutation of astrology. Our author Jesuit scholar Alessandro de Angelis 1559-1620 taught logic natural history metaphysics and theology at the Collegio Romano eventually serving as prefect of studies from 1611-17. De Angelis' only known publication the "Astologos" systematically picks apart common astrological beliefs on both metaphysical and theological grounds. First printed in Lyon the work appears here in a second edition issued the same year; both seem to be rare as we were able to trace only six copies at auction since 1966. Making our copy of an already absorbing book even more intriguing is its former owner the French poet and occultist Stanislas de Guaita 1861-97 whose short but colorful life was full of curious incident. He founded a chapter of the Rosicrucians published several works on magic and Kabbalah and had a defrocked priest declare a "magical war" against him which culminated in a decidedly unmagical though fortunately not fatal pistol duel. He is also responsible for the iconic symbol of a goat's head in an inverted pentagram now used to represent Satanism which he had originally used as an illustration for his 1897 work "La Clef de la Magie Noire" "The Key to Black Magic". In addition to these activities Guaita assembled an extensive library of books on various occult and related topics. His collection was sold by the Paris bookseller Dorbon whose 1899 catalog of the library includes 2227 volumes. Ours is #15 priced at the significant sum of 65 francs perhaps $1200 in today's buying power. Bartolomeo Zannetti unknown
