1713ref. C0588343 pages. Duodecimo 5 ½" x 3 ¼". Bound in vellum with black lettering to spine. Originally written in 1619 in Italian. Biblioteca van Der Niemeijeriana: 402 Gioachino Greco also known as Il Calabrese was born around 1600 in Celico which near Cosenza in Calabria. Calabria had already produced such players as Leonardo di Bono and Michele di Mauro. From his writing it's apparent the he wasn't educated and likely came from a lower class family. Already in 1619 Greco started keeping a notebook of tactics and particularly clever games and he took up the custom of giving copies of his manuscripts to his wealthy patrons. In Rome Monsignor Corsino della casa Minutoli Tegrini Cardinal Savelli and Monsignor Francisco Buoncompagni all received copies of which there are extant copies dated 1620 in the Corsiniana library in Rome under the title Trattato del nobilissimo gioco de scacchi. Despite his popularity in Rome in 1621 Greco took off to test himself against the rest of Europe leaving this paper trail as he went. In 1621 he left a fine copy of his manuscripts with Duke Enrico of Lorraine in Nancy. He traveled to Paris where he played Arnauld Isaac de Corbeville Enrico di Savoia the Marquis of St. Sorlin and the Duke of Nemours and Geneva and others. He had apparently been quite successful because in traveling from Paris to England he was waylaid by robbers who divested him of 5000 scudi a princely sum. Finally making it to London he beat all the best players. Sir Francis Godolphin and Nicholas Mountstephen were given copies of his manuscripts. While in London Greco developed an idea to record entire games rather than positions for study and inclusion in his manuscripts. He returned to Paris in 1624 where he rewrote his manuscript collection to reflect his new ideas. He then went to Spain and played at the court of Philip IV. There he beat his mentor and the strongest player of the time other than himself don Mariano Morano. He finally returned to Italy where he was enticed to traveling to the New Indies the Americas by a Spanish nobleman. He seemingly contracted some disease there and died around 1630 possibly 1634 at the young age of 30 34. He generously left all the money he earned at chess to the Jesuits. Gioachino Greco stood head and shoulders above his contemporaries a feat seldom duplicated. David Hooper in The Oxford Companion to Chess states that Greco probably made up the games in his manuscripts. The question of whether he actually played the games or invented them is rather moot since if he invented them he was perfectly capable of playing them. Condition: Old owner's inscription laid in to both front and back paste downs some slight foxing still has the original ribbon book mark. Other wise a good copy. Chezz Jacques Le Febvre hardcover
1741ref. 227448Liege Belgium: Chez J. F. Bassompierre 1741. New Edition. Contemporary vellum top edge stain black. Internally very clean and crisp without any traces of foxing insecting or toning. Vellum spine-toned with some rubbing hinges and joints remain very tight. Overall a near fine copy. 18 1-343. 5.5" x 3.5" Considered by many to be the first professional chess player Gioachino Greco had already conquered the ranks of the chess elite in Rome London Paris and Madrid by his early 30s. As one of the first players and chess writers to record entire matches Greco revolutionized the way chess was understood and played. His systematic tactical and aggressive gameplay laid the groundwork for modern opening theory. His records were originally handwritten in Italian in the early 17th century and were first published in 1669 in French as Le Jeu des Echecs. They are some of the earliest known play-by-play records of matches and many of Greco's lines of play in these matches especially his traps and attacking techniques became the foundation for later opening strategies such as the "Greco Gambit" in the "King's Gambit Accepted". This wonderful 1741 edition of Greco's classic truly feels like a treasure lost and now found. Within the humble 18th century binding are the notes of a mastermind waiting to be applied in new and creative ways. Chez J. F. Bassompierre unknown

The icon painters in the workshops on Crete in the 15th and 16th centuries - the setting in which El Greco was trained - were renowned for their skill in painting impeccable panels not only in the traditional Byzantine manner but also in a style inspired by Western models.

Description: "Over the past fifteen years Beijing has experienced unprecedented change–a change more dramatic and profound than ever before. Contemporary skyscrapers and architectural forms are gradually enclosing the historic city centre. Steel and glass structures constructions reminiscent of distant metropolises highways viaducts and sports facilities have given Beijing a new face. Speed combined with ever-changing rules and regulations are the main characteristics of contemporary Beijing’s transformation. Understanding this process means arranging intermediate and transitional phases into a logical sequence in a historical and urban context of reference. The speed at which the city is changing means that the work site phase and the actual moment of transformation have become an integral part of project elaboration thereby influencing and modifying its development. This state of sudden and seemingly chaotic evolution is nonetheless supported by an urban structure dating back thousands of years and by a well-defined past. It is essential to understand this in order to identify the continuity in the midst of change which in itself seems to be the real essence of the city’s evolution.
