A large engraving of the Clypeus Votivus introduces the first dissertation devoted to an ancient silver votive shield then preserved in the Lyon cabinet of the collector Octavio Mey.Thereafter Spon ranges widely across the material culture of antiquity. His subjects include an ancient mosaic at Lyon; Syrian and Greco-Roman divinities; the Arval Brethren and Roman religious practice; Cupid and Psyche; Hermes and Harpocrates; ancient rings gems and ritual objects; sculpture and bas-reliefs; architectural remains; inscriptions; Egyptian antiquities; and a substantial body of ancient coins and medals.The illustrations are fundamental to the work rather than merely decorative. Numerous copper engravings reproduce the objects upon which Spons arguments depend allowing the reader to compare the surviving material evidence with his interpretations of ancient literary and historical sources. Several are associated with the Lyon engraver Mathieu Ogier.This approach places Spon amongst the important transitional figures between the Renaissance antiquary and the modern archaeologist. Rather than treating antiquities simply as curiosities or illustrations of classical literature he sought to classify and interrogate physical remains as independent witnesses to ancient religion history politics and everyday life.The volume concludes with Spons thirty-first dissertation and the numbered text at p. 538 followed by the extensive Table des principales matières.The pagination contains irregularities originating with the seventeenth-century printing including the well-documented jump in numbering after p. 40; these are as issued and do not represent missing text.PROVENANCEOmbersley Court Library Worcestershire the historic library of the Sandys family.

1826réf. 6455Nijmegen: the widow of J.C. Vieweg and son 1826. Modern quarter sheepskin with a morocco title and author label on the spine lettered in gold the year of publication lettered in gold below marbled paper sides blue sprinkled edges. 8vo. With 4 letterpress folding tables and numerous illustrations and figures on 16 folding plates lithographed by Guillaume Philidor van den Burggraaf Brussels. First edition of a rare Dutch technical handbook on clockmaking which was considered an important manual for the technical training of clockmakers at the time. It aimed to foster a more intuitive understanding of the concepts instead of explaining rules that students would learn at school. The work is divided into four parts: the first part treating basic mechanics the second the calculation and design of clockworks the third clock music and the fourth sundials. The whole is preceded by an introduction on the history of the profession. The work is illustrated with several technical plates and figures offering a visual explanation of the concepts described.Jacob Levi Smit ca. 1766-1826 was a master clock- and watchmaker from Groningen with more than forty years of experience. He was born in Friesland and likely learnt the profession in Leeuwarden where he worked for several years. A number of his clocks have survived. The present work is his only written publication and was intended for the students of the clockmakers school. The publishers preface tell us that Smit passed away on 1 November just as the main part of the text was being printed. A second edition appeared in 1836 and a third in 2011.With the owners stamp of M. Passenier Domburg on the half title. The spine is slightly rubbed. Several faint water stains in the margins of the plates occasional very minor foxing.
