Tomash & Williams A56; Riccardi I 15. Marbled paper a little chafed title washed first and last leaf a bit soiled and with repairs at inner and outer margins but no text affected half a dozen other leaves with minor repairs or mounted isolated small smudges or corner creases but still an acceptable copy of a book expected to be found in poor shape--the text clean the impression of the engravings crisp and the binding solid. This is a pleasing copy of a rather scarce collection of mathematical puzzles magic tricks and illusions abounding with illustrations and diagrams. Our author Bolognese architect and engineer Giuseppe Antonio Alberti 1712-68 had a varied career which is reflected in his literary output: his publications discuss civil engineering pyrotechnics mathematics and factories among other topics. Described by Tomash and Williams as "the type of book that mischievous uncles like to own" the present work begins with a study of amusing and unusual arithmetic equations and puzzles before discussing magic tricks and illusions including card tricks dice games and even complex stage illusions involving specialized equipment. These are illustrated with a series of delightful copper engravings with labelled mechanisms sometimes operated by lively little figures or disembodied hands with ruffled sleeves. "Giuochi" was first published in Bologna in 1747 and remained in print for a further 20 years after the present edition. Because this is the kind of book that would have been subjected to uncareful use early editions are difficult to find in the attractive condition seen here. Giuseppe Orlandelli unknown

1854No Date [1854] 1st edition. Original Green Cloth with embossed gilt illustrated front board & spine Small 8vo, [i]-x, [11]-282 pages; with 6 pages of undated ads. Includes 2 dramatic frontispieces separated by a tissue guard, one shows casting out the evil spirits, the other shows table tipping (reproduced in gilt on the front cover), both with attractive young women at the center. Published just 6 years after the founding of the Spritualist movement in America. Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation .many early participants in Spiritualism were radical Quakers and others involved in the mid-nineteenth-century reforming movement. These reformers were uncomfortable with more prominent churches because those churches did little to fight slavery and even less to advance the cause of women's rights. Such links with reform movements, often radically socialist, had already been prepared in the 1840s, as the example of Andrew Jackson Davis shows. After 1848, many socialists became ardent spiritualists or occultists. Socialist ideas, especially in the Fourierist vein, exerted a decisive influence on Kardec and other Spiritists (Wikipedia). Only one copy has appeared at a major auction house in the last 100 years. OCLC: 504493987. OCLC lists only 1 copy worldwide (British Library). Rear board also attractively embossed. Spine sunned, occasional light foxing. Very Good Condition. An excellent attractive copy of this exceedingly rare book. (AC-22-20)
1665in-4°; pp. (8), 212, e 90 tavole a piena pagina fuori testo che riproducono oltre mille e duecento figure di mani con le linee evidenziate, Edizione originale. Quest’opera è uno dei migliori e più completi trattati di chiromanzia del XVII secolo, notevole anche per l’enorme quantità di casi di mani; in quesro apparato iconografico praticamente si comprendono tutte le possibilità di cvarianti che si esprimono nell’interpretazione chiromanztica. Inoltre a ogni figura corrisponde la descrizione nel testo. In una ristampa l’opera è attribuita a Jean Taisnier; proprio le sucessive ristampe denotano l’importanza che veniva attribuita all’opera.. Marginali fori di tarlo. Al frontespizio leggero timbro non sul testo. Sabattini 589 “edizione orig. rara”; Cicognara 2467; Caillet 10053; Ainè Biblioteca esoterica 4478 cita solo la II ed.. Legatura in piena pelle con fregi e titolo in oro al dorso.
In Fiorenza, nella Stamperia di Zanobi Pignoni, 1643, volume unico, in-4, legatura settecentesca che riutilizza due pergamene più antiche (probabilmente smontate da rilegature di libri di formato inferiore), con dorso rinforzato in carta decorata antica e titolo calligrafato su tassello in carta, pp. 610, [2]. Frontespizio stampato in rosso e nero con stemma mediceo, 23 incisioni xilografiche nel testo (fra cui forme geometriche, la pianta di un passaggio segreto, mobili a doppio fondo, teschi e ossa umane) e una tavola allegorica in rame fuori testo (che quasi mai si trova) raffigurante un liuto senza una corda su cui si poggia una cicala e con motto latino "Ut suppleat" - simbologie per la stonatura delle perversioni del genere umano, sostenuta però dall'intelletto personificato dall'apollinea cicala -. Rara opera seicentesca sul diritto criminale scritta da Antonio Maria Cospi, giudice in varie sedi dello Stato toscano fra la fine del Cinquecento e l'inizio del Seicento, ed edita postuma dal nipote Ottaviano. Si tratta di un testo di pratica giudiziaria che tenta di organizzare i ricordi e le conoscenze professionali dell'autore. Si spazia infatti dalla trattazione scientifica alla spicciola quotidianità del criminalista, passando per la superstizione e l'aneddotica. Il Cospi si sofferma nella prima parte sulla deontologia del giudice, indicando la lussuria e quindi - in una visione fortemente antifemminile - la donna come "ianua diabuli". Nella seconda parte tratta gli ambiti della criminalità, soprattutto quelli fra reato e peccato, quali la magia, la divinazione, l'eresia, la stregoneria. Nella terza, oltre che su negromanzia, avvelenamenti, stupri, aborti, ladri, zingari e bari (alle carte o ai dadi), si sofferma a lungo sull'importanza della ricognizione del cadavere e del luogo del suo ritrovamento. Ci troviamo di fronte a un quasi manuale per "la scena del crimine", con tanto di descrizioni dettagliate e illustrazioni. L'autore sostiene proprio che il giudice necessiti di conoscenze scientifiche, anatomiche, chimiche e di disegno, oltre a quelle prettamente giuridiche e morali, per poter analizzare al meglio e mettere a verbale ogni caso in modo critico. Altro concetto innovativo e fondamentale è quello della testimonianza, intesa come interrogatorio al fine di trarre indizi dall'esame del reo e vista come unica via laddove la scienza non può arrivare. Dalle bibliografie a nostra disposizione (Piantanida/Diotallevi/Livraghi 1948, Michel 1970 e la rivista "Le Carte e la Storia" edita da Il Mulino 2002) questa del 1643 risulterebbe come prima edizione, anche se, probabilmente in tempi successivi, ne sarebbe stato censito un unico esemplare, alla Biblioteca Nazionale di Firenze, datato invece 1638. Più probabilmente però, secondo la nostra interpretazione, si tratterebbe di un errore tipografico sulla data di quest'ultimo esemplare: MDCXXXVIII (1638) invece di MDCXXXXIII (1643). La carta Oo presenta uno strappo con perdita di qualche carattere; minuto camminamento di tarlo alle 6 carte da Vv3 a Xx4, solamente marginale; alcuni fascicoli leggermente bruniti per la fattura della carta. Comunque un bell'esemplare.

Teologo gesuita (Anversa 1551 - Lovanio 1608), in quest'opera confuta la teoria per cui il Nuovo Testamento avrebbe messo fine all'arte magica, e cita le Sacre Scritture, i concilii, le pratiche degli esorcismi, l'esperienza personale, per sostenere che molti fatti, potendo sembrare frutto della credulità, pur tuttavia lasciano nell'imbarazzo sia chi ha fede sia chi non crede. Immensa e fondamentale opera sulla magia, cui l'A. deve la sua fama, suddivisa in 6 capitoli: 'de magia naturali, artificiali, et praestigiatrice; de magia daemoniaca; de malefico; de prophetia, divinatione et coniectatione; de iudicis officio; de officio confessarij.

Armorial bookplate of the Prince of Lichtenstein on the front pastedown. First and last blank endpapers intact. Some wear and soiling to vellum. Foxing. Overall Very good. Complete. 3rd edition of Summary of Crimes, or On Magic: In which open or hidden invocation of the demon intervenes, is a comprehensive legal guide on defining, identifying, and prosecuting acts of magic, witchcraft, and sorcery, heavily influenced by the Spanish Inquisition and demonological theory. The work categorizes different types of magic—distinguishing between "open" (explicit pacts) and "hidden" (implicit/superstitious) invocation of demons. It was a standard reference for canon law and criminal issues related to magic in the 17th century, including its use in Spanish and Portuguese colonial contexts. Book is devided into 4 parts + "Defensa". Pages 514-76 contain the author's "Defensa de los Libros Católicos de la Magia".

"The work is divided into four books devoted to divining magic, operative magic, and its punishment in the forum exterior and juridical, and in the interior tribunal of the soul and confessional. Magic is defined after Proclus and Psellus as an exacter knowledge of secret things in which, by observing the course and influence of the stars and the sympathies and antipathies of particular things, they are applied to one another at the proper time and place and in the proper manner, so that marvels are worked. Torreblanca turns to diabolical magic and the extent of the powers of the devil to make it possible. Torreblanca has jumbled together natural and diabolical magic almost inextricably, but his remaining chapters are on witchcraft, with the two last on natural and divine remedies against it."

1611réf. GEJ-12Napoli, appresso Giovanni Giacomo Carlino, 1611, pp. [8] 725 [1]. In-4. Book in Italian. Original full vellum, ink title on the spine. Title in black. Small restoration on the title page. Old but later endpapers. Clean with a little foxing. Overall Very good. Complete. This rare 1611 Italian 1st expanded twenty-book version of Giambattista della Porta’s magnum opus, Della magia naturale (Natural Magic). Originally published as a shorter four-book treatise in 1558, della Porta spent decades expanding his observations into this monumental encyclopedia of Renaissance science, secrets, and experimental philosophy. Della Porta’s work serves as a fascinating intellectual bridge between medieval alchemy and the Scientific Revolution. To the author, natural magic did not mean sorcery, but rather the understanding and manipulation of the hidden laws of nature through rigorous observation and experimentation. Across its twenty books, this comprehensive volume covers an astonishingly diverse range of subjects. It includes early descriptions of the camera obscura and foundational concepts in optics that later influenced the invention of the telescope. It also delves into metallurgy, cryptography, agriculture, and botany, alongside practical recipes for cosmetics, perfumes, pyrotechnics, and early chemical warfare. As the founder of the Academy of the Secrets of Nature, della Porta was one of Europe’s foremost polymaths, and his writings heavily influenced contemporary titans of science like Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Capturing the very peak of late-Renaissance intellectual curiosity, this 1611 edition stands as a highly desirable and significant artifact for any collector of early science, occult philosophy, and the history of ideas.

Very uncommon issue on the market. Rare in any edition. "Hammer of Heretics" is a Catholic counter-reformation text by Georg Eder, published in Ingolstadt, that defends Catholicism against Protestant doctrines, particularly Lutheranism and Anabaptism. It is distinct from the 1487 Malleus Maleficarum (witch-hunting manual), focusing instead on combating heresy through theological argumentation. Eder was a lawyer and Catholic theologian (1523 - 1587), Imperial Court Councillor and advisor to Emperors Ferdinand I, Maximilian II, and Rudolf II. Best known for his theological polemical writings. "His oratorical and literary talent, the decidedly Catholic orientation from his Bavarian homeland, which deepened in Cologne and, in Vienna, where he immediately sought contact with the Jesuits, manifested itself in tireless activity, making Eder a champion of Catholicism struggling for its existence in Austria" (NDB IV, 311 f.). "Eder's writings from this period all deal with the question of church confession with regard to the differing and opposing positions of the Protestants" (ADB V, 318).
