1916rif. BOOKS0059952 volumes. 867 pages; 826 pages. Octavo 8 3/4" x 6 1/2" bound in quarter blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Edited by Jeranimo Becker. Second edition. Pedro de Aguado was a Spanish Franciscan friar who spent around 15 years in the New Kingdom of Granada preaching to the Indians. During this time he collected source material for a history of the region and began a manuscript Recopilacion historial which he completed in Spain between 1576 and 1583 but was unable to publish. The manuscript was used by other historians but was not published until the twentieth century. De Aguado's date of birth is uncertain. He is believed by Juan Friede to have been baptized in Valdemoro on 26 January 1513 whilst Guillermo Morón argues for 16 February 1538. Arriving in the New World in 1560 or 1561 in Cartagena his movements are uncertain until his arrival in Bogota in 1571 although it is likely he soon left Cartagena to minister to the Muisca people. By around 1564 he was a pastor to the Muisca at Cogua and he was able to build two churches there. Cogua was considered the first Indian town in New Granada where all the Indians were converted to Christianity an achievement of Aguado's recognized by King Philip II. In 1571 de Aguado moved to Bogota and became a "minister provincial" of the local Franciscan Province. In 1575 de Aguado was sent by the Province on a mission to Spain to answer charges that the local monks were greedy and abusive. He was not able to leave Spain to return to Bogota¡ until 1583. During this time he developed a manuscript on the history of the region Recopilacion historial begun during his "idle hours" in Bogota¡ It is likely that Part I on Santa Marta and the New Kingdom of Granada was written in Bogota and Part II on Venezuela and Cartagena in Spain. De Aguado tried unsuccessfully to secure publication over a number of years. A series of bureaucratic hurdles around censorship were complicated by a change in the rules invalidating the royal license to print which de Aguado obtained in 1581 while a second license in 1582 was complicated by a new requirement to have the printed copy checked against the original manuscript signed off by the king's secretary. Financial difficulties also played a role but a definitive reason for publication failing to materialize is not known. A planned Part III appears to have been abandoned possibly in frustration at the difficulties with publication with the witness statements that would have been the source material left in Spain on his return to Bogota in 1583. Dates for de Aguado's death are even less certain than those for his birth; dates vary from 1589 1595 to 1608. After his death his work was used directly and indirectly by other authors notably by Fray Pedro de Simon who appears to have had access to a copy of Part II of the manuscript which de Aguado took with him on his return to Bogota The manuscript de Aguado left in Spain was obtained in the late eighteenth century by the historian Juan Bautista Munoz; his collection became part of the University of Valencia on his death and was transferred to the Real Academia de la Historia after the university was partly destroyed in 1812 during a French siege of Valencia. There the manuscript was discovered in 1845 by Joaquin Acosta and it was consulted by some historians in the latter part of the nineteenth century. However it was not published until 1906 Part I Historia de Santa Marta y Nuevo Reino de Granada and 1913 Part II Historia de Venezuela.

Front pastedown has the bookplate of the Middle East scholar R.M.Burrell. His important library of books on the Middle East was sold by Sotheby's in 1999 this was lot 319. On 17th October 1630 Edward Pococke 1604-1691 arrived in Aleppo as Chaplain of the Levant Company. While there he deepened his study of the languages and culture of the region and began to collect Arabic manuscripts. In 1636 Pococke returned to England at the request of Archbishop Laud who had recently established a Chair of Arabic at Oxford and wanted Pococke to be the first holder of it. One of the manuscripts brought back by Pococke was the al-Mukhtasar fî'l-Duwal 'History of the Dynasties' of Abu'l-Faraj Bar Hebraeus 1226-1286. The lack of material in England on Islamic history and geography meant that Pococke felt unable to prepare his edition and translation and so he secured a sabbatical from Oxford and sailed for Constantinople where he spent the next three years collecting manuscripts. He returned to England shortly before the outbreak of the Civil War and it was only in 1650 that he published extracts from the "History" in his Specimen historiae Arabum which included other material culled from his now extensive collection of manuscripts. Pococke was a Royalist and the years of the Protectorate were hard: he almost lost his professorship and his priestly living. At the Restoration he returned to Oxford and began work on the complete Historia Compendiosa Dynastiarum. Finally in 1663 almost thirty years after Pococke had returned from Aleppo with the manuscript of al-Mukhtasar fî'l-Duwal his far-reaching Historia which opened up Arab history to Western was published and "remained the standard edition until the twentieth century" ODNB.

With:2 GLEN Jean Baptise de and Aleixo de MENEZES. La messe des anciens Chrestiens dicts de S. Thomas en l' évesché d' Angamal és Indes Orientales . Brussels Rutger Velpius 1609. Ad 1: First French edition of António de Gouvea's account Jornada do Arcebispo de Goa Dom Frey Aleixo de Menezes first published in Portuguese in Coimbra 1606. It details the Jesuit-Portuguese success in aligning the St. Thomas Christians of Malabar with the Latin Church which was related to the trade struggles in the 16th and early 17th century between the Portuguese and their European and Indian rivals. The original Portuguese text was translated into French by Jean Baptiste de Glen 1552-1613 an Augustinian theologian. There are two issues of this edition with two different imprints: one published by J. Verdussen in Antwerp and one our copy published in Brussels by R. Velpius. The text was also translated into Spanish by Francois Munoz but remained in manuscript. Ad 2: Published under a separate title these two texts do in fact belong together. The Historie orientale and the two texts in La messe des anciens Chrestiens form a single book. Following the dedication to Abbot Gilles de Sprimont is the Remonstrance Catholique by Jean Baptise Glen. He expands on the Histoire Orientale and presents the edifying lessons the inhabitants of the Southern Netherlands can draw from it including interesting remarks on the Christian Syro-Malabar ritual and liturgy purified from the influence of Nestorianism a Christian heresy that held Jesus to be two distinct persons.The subsequent part is by Aleixo de Menezes on the Mass of the first Christians La messe des anciens Chrestiens on pp. 77-123 in which he deals with the content of the Mass and in which he gives the full Latin text. These two parts together published as one book are considered as a major contribution to the history of Christianity in India in general and the St. Thomas Christians on the Malabar Coast in particular.With a contemporary manuscript inscription on the recto of the second free flyleaf and a contemporary manuscript inscription on the title-page of ad 1.

16881st edition thus [2nd edition, expanded from the first] Bound in 18th Century,full leather, retaining what appear to be the 17th Century spines.In custom clamshell box. 8vo, Volume 1:[4]+[19]+160 pages; Volume 2: pages 161-315 +12+[32] pages. Beautiful engraved Illustrations of coins and medals throughout, many foldout. In French. Title translates as Metalic History of the Republic of Holland. New Edition Augmented by 140 Medals. Graesse I, 433. Lipsius / LS 47. The Bourbon historian and scholar Pierre Bizot (1630-1696) was one of the first authors to take an interest in modern numismatics. The author also proposed to reconstruct the history of the Netherlands based on the production and description of the medals. Metal production in the Netherlands from 1566 to 1680 is described with a great luxury with both numismatic and historical information. The book of Bizot had been printed for the first time in Paris in 1687 in folio format. In this second edition in smaller format, the first two volumes reproduce the text of Bizot. However the editor there has inserted several additions and had many plates engraved again, that were engraved in reverse in the first edition issued a year earlier in 1687. Includes Remarques sur Ledition De Paris De la Republique de Hollande de Mr. Bizot at the end of the 2nd volume. A supplement was published over a decade later. Paper and internal binding excellent with only light toning, no tears, Very Good Condition. (AC-21-18)

He warred against the Turks successfully and when the shah turned victory to disaster by a conciliatory peace Nadir in 1732 deposed him. Tahmasp's infant son Abbas III was placed on the throne with Nadir as regent. In 1736 Nadir deposed Abbas and he himself became shah thus ending the rule of the Safavid dynasty.
