1686réf. 28626Padoua: Cadorino 1686. Quarto. 32 298 10 Indexpp. including a portrait of the author. Half title. Contemporary vellum manuscript spine title First issue of Terra Rossa's famous account detailing discoveries in the New World as denoted by the 1686 date and the privilege below the imprint reading "Et Privilegio del Serenissimo Principe." Includes much information on Venetian explorers going so far as to credit Marco Polo with discovering Australia and attempts to rename Terra Australis as Terra Australe Magallanica to honor Magellan. In this work Terra Rossa "attempted to prove that Venetians had discovered all lands unknown to the ancients including America and Terra Australis." Hiatt p. 261. He also defends the claims of the Zeno brothers to have made a northern discovery of America prior to Columbus. A rare and surprisingly little-known work focused on early exploration of the Southern Hemisphere. Sabin 94858; European Americana 686/157. Cadorino unknown books
1849réf. 42915New York: John James Audubon 1849. First edition hand-colored lithograph by John T. Bowen of Philadelphia after John James Audubon. An iconic image of Western Americana from the folio first edition of Audubon's "Quadrupeds of North America" the greatest work of natural history illustration produced in America during the nineteenth century: "As long as our civilization lasts America will be in debt to this genius." Peterson This fine plate is from the folio edition of Audubon's The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America which was produced entirely in the United States. The work was Audubon's last and by 1846 he had to hand over the drawing of the final fifty plates to his sons John Woodhouse and Victor Audubon. The production of the Quadrupeds was begun by Audubon and his sons at about the same time as the commercially-successful octavo edition of The Birds of America. Unlike the double-elephant folio the Quadrupeds was produced entirely in the United States. Reese notes that "By 1843 the Audubon family business was a well-oiled machine involving John James his two sons and various in-laws and friends. The octavo Birds was still in production when Bowen began to produce the plates for the folio edition of the Quadrupeds the largest successful color-plate book project of 19th-century America. It took the family five years to publish 150 plates in thirty parts. The massive project was a commercial success thanks to the close management of Victor. There were about three hundred subscribers." Reese Like Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds was intended to be a comprehensive visual catalog of North America animalia with Audubon's focus here shifting from birds to four-legged land mammals. Accompanying each image was correlating didactic text written primarily by Bachman that informed the reader of the animal's habits diet habitat and gestational period. Totaling 150 prints the project was rushed to completion as Audubon's health declined. Emerging in the shadow of its acclaimed predecessor Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds has not received the adequate attention nor recognition it so richly deserves. This image is of a family of American buffalo the most iconic animal indigenous to North America whose presence was integral for Native American life and whose near-extinction spurred on the conservation movement in the US. The buffalo is today the state animal of Kansas Oklahoma and Wyoming. Bennett p.5. Peterson Birds of America passim. Reese Stamped with a National Character 36. Sabin 2367. Wood p.209.

1770réf. 0012203England: 18th Century Religious Sermons Early Typography Manuscript Christian. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1770. Hardcover. On offer is a beautiful hard-bound collection of sermons written by many prominent religious scholars of the time dating from late 18th century England and curated by the Reverend Dr. John Trusler 1735-1820. The book is a collection of sermons and homilies. They include homilies with such titles as On domestic Happiness The notice of the World a motive to virtue The Advantage of Public or Private Calamities On partaking of other men's Sins and more. The collection belonged to William Armstrong whose name appears on the front flyleaf. However our informal research has not found any additional information about him. From some notes made in the book this volume was used in 1770-1771. Curated by Rev John Trusler the sermons are printed with beautiful early typography intended to mimic manuscript font. This was a part of Truslers lucrative scheme in which he proposed printing sermons in script type to imitate handwriting and then sell them to clergymen who did not want to write their own sermons. Each sermon is credited to their original author at the end. Included sermons are credited to Baptist minister James Foster 1697-1753 British Unitarian minister William Enfield 1741-1797 Anglican clergyman Laurence Sterne Archbisop of Canterbury William Wake 1657-1737 and Bishop of Chichester Thomas Manningham 1651 -1722. A few sermons are listed as compiled and some are not credited but include additional notes and annotations from the collections curator Rev John Trusler. Trusler has signed his name in ink at the end of many of the sermons. This book is an example of Dr. Truslers early attempts at establishing a printing and bookselling business. In 1769 Trusler sent circulars to every parish in England and Ireland proposing to print in script type in imitation of handwriting about a hundred and fifty sermons at the price of one shilling each to save the clergy both study and the trouble of transcribing Wikipedia. This collection of sermons therefore seems to be an example of Truslers sermon curation peppered with his own additions and notes some in the form of small attached pages others in the form of full pages of manuscript notes. Before becoming a printer and bookseller Trusler took his holy orders and became a priest in 1759 rising through the ranks of British clergy work. He also worked as a lecturer eventually establishing an academic academy only to give it up when it was not lucrative and move on to medical school at Leyden University. While his name does not appear in their catalogue of graduates he did assume the title of doctor. In the end his most lucrative undertaking was his sermon sales and publishing business in which he published many books including his own memoir. This absolutely remarkable unique relic of 18th century British Christian history and early typography would be a sensational asset to any library and the sermons contained within provide an excellent window into the religious/moral thinking of the day as preached in Christian congregations in England Interesting to note one single annotated page of a sermon contained in this book in the same typescript sold for 1500 British pounds through Forum Auctions in September of 2021. The volume measures approximately 8.5 inches by 5.5 inches and contains 100 pages. The hard covers although stained are in good condition. The pages are all in excellent condition save for one page with some rips and tears. Both the typography and handwriting is not only clear but beautifully done. The title Sermons M.

His contemporaries "ridiculed this decidedly sexual view Shchutskii described it as the product of "pseudoscientific delirium" but recent work by other scholars suggests its essential validity.
