1633ref. 60241Kiøbenhaffn, (Melchior Martzan og Salomon Sartor), (1632-) 1633. Folio (binding: 37 x 25 cm.). Bound in a spledid, contemporary full calf binding over wooden boards. Rich, elaborate gilding to both boards and spine. The gilding is vague, especially on the front board, but the tooling is very sharp, and the binding overall is magnificent. With four beautiful, ornamented brass edges to each board and two large ornamented brass clasps. All edges are gilt and beautifully blindtooled. Wear to capitals, where the cords are loosening a bit, and with a bit of loss of leather. A bit of wear to hinges, at the cords, which are showing. But overall the binding is in splendid condition. Also internally extremely well preserved. The title-page has a tiny restored hole to lower right corner, and the first four leaves might have been inserted. They are slightly smaller at the outer margin than the other leaves. But that might also be due to restoration, as the binding has not been tampered with at any point and is completely unrestored. The text is unusually nice, clean and fresh, by far the nicest copy we have ever come across. Pasted-down front end-paper with the ownership signature and lacquered coat-of-arms seal of Severin Svanenhielm (Severin Seehusen (1664-1726) ) as well as the ownership signatures of Søren Schiøtz (1796-1863) (with names of members of his family), C. Th. Zahle and Erik Zahle. With the book plate of William Davignon (d. 1924). The brass corners carry the initials HL and are depicted in Johannes Rudbeck's Svenska Bokband I (fig. 26, p.53). The binding there is dated 1622, whereas our binding is from 1633 or right after. The brass fittings were a commercial merchandise for sale in Germany and probably also in both Sweden and Denmark. Engraved title-page as well as the engraved portrait of Christian IV, all by the royal engraver Simon the Pas. Without the half-title, which merely contains the printed words ""BIBLIA / Paa Danske"", which is almost never present.

Dan.I9 - Thesaurus II 378. - Birkelund 41. - Darlow and Moule 3160. Provenance: Svanenhielm was a family of Danish and Norwegian nobility. Morten Hansen Seehuusen 1629-1694 was a merchant from Bredstedt in Schleswig-Holstein who re-located to Stavanger Norway. His son Severin Seehusen 1664-1726 was an official in Bergen as well as in Stavanger and Northern Norway. He owned among other properties Damsgård Manor outside Bergen Svanøy in Sunnfjord and Arnegård in Stavanger. In 1720 Severin Seehausen was ennobled under the name Svanenhielm. Søren Daniel Schiøtz 1796-1863 was a Norwegian bailiff and judge who was also very much engaged in religious matters and came to play an important role in the history of theology in Norway. He was one of the founders of the Norwegian Mission Society and the Norwegian Israeli Mission. He translated several important upbuilding pieces from German among them a comprehensive bible history. Carl Theodor Zahle 1866 – 1946 was a highly important Danish lawyer and politician. He was prime minister of Denmark from 1909 to 1910 and again from 1913 to 1920. In 1895 he was elected member of the lower chamber of the Danish parliament for the Liberal Party. A campaigner for peace in 1905 he co-founded the Social Liberal Party Det Radikale Venstre. He stayed on as a member of Parliament for Det Radikale Venstre until 1928 when he became a member of the upper chamber of Parliament Landstinget. In 1929 he became Minister of Justice a post which he held until 1935. Zahle was instrumental in starting negotiations for a new Danish–Icelandic Act of Union in 1917 which resulted in Iceland being recognized as a sovereign nation in a personal union with the king of Denmark the following year. Erik Zahle 1898-1969 was a famous Danish art historian author and museum director. hardcover

Late nineteenth century brown crushed morocco gilt by Frances Bedford marbled endpapers gilt edges. Provenance: William Title inscription dated 1856 on front free endpaper; C. S.

Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. The first of two Frankfurt printings by David Zöpfel that year using the same woodcuts. The text is descended from the Low German version Reynke de Vos first printed at Lübeck in 1498. Among the most widely adapted of the beast fables the tales of Reynard the Fox originated in the 12th and 13th centuries with early versions in French Dutch Latin and German being notable. One of the most important secular literary traditions of the Middle Ages Reynard the Fox is at its essence biting satire and parody. The character of Reynard an anthropomorphic fox and trickster has since become almost an archetype in the literatures of many languages. "The supreme 'anti-hero' of medieval fiction" Cambridge Guide to Children's Books in English. This copy from the renowned library of the eminent British architect and book collector Sir William Tite 1798-1873 whose sale at Sotheby's in May-June 1874 took sixteen days certainly one of the greatest collections of the time.

1860ref. 19066France: Unique ca1860. Original black full Russia leather with a fine pebble grain pattern; a.e.g. Near fine; binding bumped and a bit rubbed. Oblong 4to 33 unnumbered pages stiff glazed paper with 22 mounted star maps various sizes drawn on deep violet colored paper in black and gold ink. An accomplished manuscript beautifully rendered by an individual with advanced knowledge of interstellar space. It is also unusual in that the text initially emphasizes findings in the southern hemisphere. Discussion involves fixed stars double stars and variable stars and the seasonal variation as to what is observable. The color of stars distances culminate in the author's consideration of observable nebulae and reference to the then recent discoveries of Lord Rosse of new spiral galaxies beautifully illustrated in this text. Robert Grant History of Physical Astronomy pp. 568 - 577 London 1852 provides contemporary context for the speculations of the author and for Rosse's important discoveries - only possible with the use of the largest reflector constructed to date 1845. It is most unusual to find such a self-aware manuscript that is well in advance of any academic exercise. The author's avowed consideration - from the title - of the large structures of the observable universe segue to informed speculation about the processes that made possible these structures.

Some fine large woodcut initials. 8 p.l. 531 pp. Folio. Cologne: E. Cervicornus for G. Hittorp 1533. A most attractive sammelband of two well-illustrated books in an attractive contemporary blind-stamped binding probably made at the Stavelot monastery in Belgium. I. First collected and illustrated edition of the scientific writings of the Venerable Bede including De Natura Rerum dealing with cosmology and natural history and De Temporum Ratione a work on chronology that still exercises a considerable influence over our daily life today. This edition was edited and commented upon by Joannes Noviomagus i.e. Jan van Bronchorst of Nijmegen 1494-1570 philosopher and mathematician then a professor of philosophy at the Collegium Montanum in Cologne. It would appear that he used the manuscript at the Dombibliothek no. 103 of Cologne to prepare this edition. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably “this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not ‘in the 16th year of the reign of George V’ or ‘in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome’ or in the ‘2nd year of the 481st Olympiad’ we are indebted to the Venerable Bede.”â€“Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. “Bede’s greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions beginning the year calculation of Easter names of days and months calculations of eras and so forth in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined not changed by Gregorian reform.”â€“D.S.B. I p. 565. “The De Ratione Temporum first published in 1505 is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port i.e. the mean interval between the moon’s meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports.”â€“Sarton I p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede’s establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. Also contained here is the De Natura Rerum 1st printing: 1529 which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section — the “De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum” — which is “our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism.”â€“Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. The rest of the book contains further treatises by Bede on arithmetic astronomy and the calendar and chronology. II. Very rare.

THE LECTURESS: OR WOMAN'S SPHERE

1839ref. ST20899Boston: Whipple and Damrell 1839. FIRST EDITION. 155 x 95 mm. 6 x 3 3/4". 124 pp. 1 leaf ads. Original brown printed paper wrappers flat spine inside wrappers and back cover with ads discreet repairs to upper corners of front cover. Housed in a fine custom made green cloth drop-back box. Wright I 1081. For the author see: Oxford Companion to Women's Writing in the United States pp. 371-72; Feminist Companion to Literature in English pp. 474-75. See also: Ganter "The Unexceptional Eloquence of Sarah Josepha Hale's 'The Lecturess'" in "Journal of the American Antiquarian Society" 2004. Covers vaguely soiled front corners a little creased text with frequent foxing sometimes noticeable due to paper quality but still an extremely well-preserved copy of a fragile item with joints and hinges as good as new. In an excellent state of preservation in its original wrappers this is the first known American novel featuring a women's rights activist written by one of the 19th century's leading editors and tastemakers. The story follows Marian Gaylord an educated and outspoken young woman who earns a living by lecturing on the importance of female education. As the story progresses Marian's attempts to step into public life bring serious personal consequences affecting her reputation relationships and health. At the novel's end Marian on her deathbed repents her lifestyle to a close friend telling her that "approaching death has taught me how wrong were all my opinions. It taught me that true pride true independence in a woman is to fill the place which her God assigns her; to make her husband's happiness her own and to yield her will to his in all things." Despite the author's apparent belief that woman's natural place is in the home Sarah Josepha Hale 1788-1879 was herself a successful career woman and seems to have been as progressive as often as she was conservative on a number of issues related to women's rights. According to ANB "In an age when women were regarded as natural invalids confined to the home she urged the necessity for women doctors women nurses and women teachers and helped found schools for their training; she advocated physical exercise and fresh air for women sensible dress and an end to tight lacing. In addition she supported the use of any labor-saving devices that would make domestic work easier such as the sewing machine and the washing machine and in spite of religious opposition she fought for the use of anesthesia for surgery and in childbirth." Hale was not however a suffragist and the "Oxford Companion to Women's Writing in the United States" notes that "Debate continues about the nature of Hale's feminism. Some scholars criticize her as a proponent of 'women's sphere'; as a believer in women's moral superiority she expected women to provide spiritual leadership for western civilization and for the Christianization of the world. . . . But she disliked women public speakers abolitionists and women's rights proponents. Yet she advocated property rights for married women female doctors and in her later life support for working women." Despite displaying considerable ambivalence in the world of emerging feminism Hale is acknowledged by modern scholars as having an important role in literary history being "the most prominent American woman engaged in literary enterprise in the mid-nineteenth century" and "the first of the great 'lady editors." Oxford Companion Widowed at the age of 34 and with five children to support Hale turned to writing to provide a living for her family. Her first successful novel "Northwood" 1827 is considered to be "one of the first American novels to deal with the question of slavery." ANB She also wrote children's books and poetry including the popular nursery rhyme "Mary Had a Little Lamb." Her success led to editorial positions at "Ladies' Magazine" and "Godey's Lady's Book" where she remained for 40 years. There she made her most enduring marks on American culture publishing original work by American writers particularly women campaigning for causes such as the Bunker Hill Monument and a national Thanksgiving Day and promoting female education including the founding of Vassar College. "The Lecturess" is a very rare book in the marketplace: we could find just one rather dog-eared copy sold at auction fetching $6930 at Christie's in 2023. Whipple and Damrell unknown

A MANNERIST TRIUMPH OF EARLY POLITICAL PROPAGANDA

1604ref. 009462 10 1 leaves Bound suite of prints 204 x 165 mm ---- First and only edition of this Mannerist triumph of early European political propaganda a suite of engravings glorifying the House of Habsburg that storied dynasty that so long ruled much of Europe including three centuries of the Holy Roman Empire. The engravings here depict ten Habsburg rulers from Rudolphus I ca. 1282-1307 through Rudolf II 1552-1612 Holy Roman Emperor at time of publication. An allegorical engraving on death and fame precedes the gallery of Habsburg rulers as does the fully engraved title on its own a beautiful display of Mannerist figures with delicately elongated bodies. The suite finishes with the arms of Rudolf II as Holy Roman Emperor featuring four of the most jacked putti we've ever seen for a complete set of thirteen engravings altogether. A quatrain of engraved text by Gaspar Ens heaps praise on each ruler. ¶ If not best known for his Hortus Floridus "one of the most important early examples of botanical illustration" Gerard then Crispijn might be best known for fathering four children who themselves went on to work as engravers—including his daughter Magdalena van De Passe who taught engraving to Anna Maria van Schurman. He was the patriarch of a prodigious print dynasty which produced all told some 14000 prints and worked as far afield as Paris and London. While De Passe has signed these plates excudit typically denoting a publisher's role curators Julie Aronson and Marjorie E. Wieseman remarked that he "was an accomplished draftsman who made most of his prints after his own designs" with a focus on portraits especially after 1618. Ilja Veldman who ranks De Passe "among the foremost portraitists of his age" suggests these were done after Cologne artist Augustin Braun though only the Matthias portrait a later addition is so signed. Veldman too remarks that De Passe designed most of his prints himself. Whatever the case the suite is a De Passe publication and "all the prints that De Passe published were engraved by him or his studio" Veldman. ¶ The present work combines two of De Passe's specialties: portraits of eminent Europeans and the publication of books of prints. It's a masterful example of the classicized portrait deployed as contemporary political propaganda—among the family's "classicizing apotheoses" according to art historian Milan Pelc. "It seems as if de Passe wanted to combine in these portraits the mounted knights of the late gothic Nine Worthies series with the impressively animated portraits of the Roman emperors by Titian which Aegidius Sadeler reproduced as prints. For the recipients who at that time could find similar portrait series of Roman emperors on horseback or in triumphal chariots.the symbolic and propagandistic allusions of such Habsburg portraits were probably immediately understandable." ¶ Like so many things during the Renaissance the taste among the elite for producing their own likenesses was heavily influenced by the discoveries of ancient Roman models. The portrait however got off to a relatively slow start in print. Paintings were certainly a popular medium for portraiture and original drawings circulated among Europe's courts to help satisfy the demand. And in the 16th century no portrait medium held quite as much sway as the medal the "currency of fame" as Lisa Jardine put it. "In an era where portraits were still rare and the image had yet to lose any of tis magic the power of such likenesses is hard to overstate" Konraad Jonckheere remarks. "The portrait has plainly lost none of its potency even today" he continues "with visual culture such as television film and social media continuing to promote a form of idolatry." ¶ By the early 1600s the portrait print had become a potent medium second only to religious subjects in the pantheon of printed imagery in France at least. "To a certain extent this can be explained by the development of book illustration and its increased use of engraving instead of woodcut since some of these portraits were used as book frontispieces. But the real impetus must have come from the urgency of current events the consequent propagandistic use of images and the curiosity of the urban middle-class about the protagonists of public life" Zerner. ¶ These are hardly the first Habsburg portrait prints—Rudolf II had commissioned others and he was among Europe's most voracious collectors and patrons of art. Even still these engravings stand out for the sense of power they convey not least for their imperial pedigree. Pelc suggested De Passe might have blended Titian's portraits with the Nine Worthies on horseback but we'd be shocked if these prints rather weren't influenced by the series of Roman emperors designed by Jan van der Straet or Antonio Tempesta. To be sure De Passe himself produced a series of Roman emperors based on Van der Straet's designs. De Passe's portrait of Frederick III for example was almost certainly based on either van der Straet's Otho or Tempesta's Julius Caesar. Those two artists together exerted a profound influence on the 17th-century equestrian portrait in Europe—influence that is here on full display. De Passe has even added background battle scenes reminiscent of the backgrounds in Van der Straet and Tempesta's work. ¶ Rare. We find no copies at auction since 1923. ---- CONDITION: Bound ca. 1900 in half burgundy goatskin and marbled boards the spine tooled in gold; marbled endpapers and gilt edges. Each engraving—surely trimmed but all plate marks preserved—is tipped to a separate leaf. ¶ Hollstein omits the final plate arms of Rudolf II but adds an unnumbered portrait of Matthias who succeeded Rudolf II as Holy Roman Emperor in 1612. Hollstein's copy must have been updated sometime after Matthias's accession and Veldman suggests the Matthias plate may have become a standard addition. ¶ The occasional spot of light soiling or small stain from the adhesive used to tip them but really a nice set. Binding extremities gently rubbed. ---- REFERENCES: Hollstein Dutch and Flemish Etchings Engravings and Woodcuts v. 15 p. 217-218 #655-665 ¶ On De Passe: Milan Pelc Illustrium Imagines: Das Porträtbuch der Renaissance 2021 p. 105 cited above; Robert A.
