SEX LIFE OF A SPY

1960rif. 48969n.p.: n.p. 1960. Near fine. Presumed first edition of this photo-illustrated erotic pulp thriller full of sex violence Cold War sleaze and poisoned brandy. Following the best practices of espionage tradecraft the publisher of this sub-Flemingian adventure eliminated from its pages all clues to its issue and origin save for the $3.25 printed cover price. The story itself can be approximately dated by the cameo appearance of "Miss Marlene Dietrich queen of the nightclubs slithering onto the stage" in a white diamonté sheath dress and fox fur; also by the use of a Ford Zephyr. Scarce. 7'' x 4''. Original pictorial wrappers. Illustrated with black and white photographs of nude women presumably spies. Unpaginated. Price sticker residue to front cover red remainder mark to lower edge of text block. Minor traces of soil and edgewear to wrappers. n.p. unknown books

Le jeu des Eschets

1713rif. 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.

Le Jeu des Eschets "The Game of Chess" -- The 1669 1st French Edition

1669rif. 20514Paris: Chez N. Pepingve Avec Privilege du Roi 1669. Full leather. The 1669 1st French edition --and 1st published edition-- of Gioachino Greco's seminal "Le Jeu des Eschets". Greco c. 1600 - c. 1634 was the strongest player in Europe in the early 17th century and among the first to record entire games not just particular openings or combinations. His vast influence as cited by H.J.R. Murray among other historians of the game is keenly felt to this day. This copy is likely in its original full-leather binding certainly in a contemporary-to-the-period binding. Solid and VG with minor forgivable wear along the edges and the preliminaries. The interior though is very clean the pages surprisingly crisp and clean. Originally recorded by hand in Greco's native Italian here translated --and issued in book form-- for the first time. Chez N. Pepingve (Avec Privilege du Roi) unknown books
