The work was compiled and published by the ambitious Amsterdam map- and globe maker printer and publisher Jacob Aertsz. Colom 1600-1673. Like Willem Jansz. Blaeu Colom began his career by publishing pilot guides and maritime atlases a field in which few dared to compete with Blaeu before branching out into terrestrial atlases. The maps and portraits in this second Dutch edition were printed from the plates of the first Dutch edition 1635 but the accompanying text has been revised and expanded.The descriptions were derived from the text written by Reinier Telle for Abraham Gooss Nieuw Nederlandtsch Caertboeck 1616 which itself was largely based on Lodovico Guicciardinis classic Beschryvinghe van alle de Nederlanden 1612. In addition to general maps of the Netherlands depicting both the Roman period and the 17th century and of the Seventeen Provinces the work contains numerous detailed maps of individual regions and cities together with their surrounding areas. These include among others the Meierij of s-Hertogenbosch Bergen op Zoom Breda Valkenburg and Dalhem Mechelen the diocese of Liège Namur the Veluwe Zutphen the island of Dordrecht Delfland six maps of newly reclaimed polders Bijlmermeer Purmer Wormer Heerhugowaard Diemermeer and Zijpe the three historic regions of Frisia Eastergoa Westergoa and Zevenwouden and Walcheren.The engraved portrait plates comprise two sheets containing respectively 40 and 38 portraits of the Dukes of Brabant and the Forestiers of Flanders and a third with 39 portraits of the Counts of Holland.With the library stamp of the Oudheidkamer Twente on the front flyleaf.

Roubo was born and died in Paris and was the son and grandson of master cabinetmakers. Roubo wrote several highly influential books on woodworking an achievement which was especially notable given his relatively poor background and self-taught methods.His career was at its zenith in 1774 when he published his masterwork treatise on woodworking titled L’Art du Menuisier. This lseminal work covered practically all methods and trades associated with woodworking. Another of Roubo’s legacies still used today is a design for a workbench which has proven to be popular amongst modern woodworkers….Provenance: bookplates of Robert Stanton FAIA – Architect.

1844réf. 186843London: James Nisbet and Co. 1844. The novelty of his teachings apparently attracted considerable interest First edition arguing that the main benefit of British military expansion in Asia lay in the new opportunities for religious conversion rather than increased freedom of trade. A member of the London Missionary Society Tomlin 1793-1880 accompanied the German Karl Gützlaff during most of his pioneering journey through Thailand in 1828 - the first visit to the country by Protestant missionaries. In Thailand Tomlin "distributed religious tracts and preached but was unable to build a church. In a period of religious freedom the novelty of his teachings apparently attracted considerable interest. After visiting Bali he returned to Bangkok although as little more than a visitor. By 1833 Tomlin was principal at the Anglo-Chinese College in Malacca when he abolished the stipend the mission paid to students. His relationship with the London Missionary Society came to an end in 1834 after which he ran his own school in Malacca" Howgego. Tomlin's prefatory remarks appeal for greater missionary work in China following the First Opium War.

Collation: aleph-vav4 zayin2 = 26 numbered leaves. Additional engraved title page engraved folding map at rear; main title with woodcut vignette; 14 half-page engraved illustrations in the text. Contemporary quarter calf over dark brown pastepaper boards skilfully rebacked. Images of Moses and Aaron at engraved title excised the seven small engraved vignettes along with letterpress text of engraved title and imprint mounted on old paper. Old marginal repairs at main title resulting in slight loss of initial letters along right margin and several leaves; slight strictly marginal worming and occasional tears. Stained throughout sometimes heavily though not impairing legibility. Map mounted to reinforce tears with virtually no loss of text or engraved imagery apart from printed border at right side. A fair copy at best; despite all defects the half-page engraved illustrations have survived intact with minimal staining. Housed in new maroon buckram slipcase. First edition of this gorgeously illustrated work now referred to simply as the Amsterdam Haggadah. The first such work to be illustrated with copperplate engravings it ranks among the most imitated of the Jewish manuals for the Passover seder. The popularity of these illustrations can be attested by the huge number of reprint editions over the centuries. Fourteen finely printed half-page engravings appear throughout the text. Some of these images illustrate the traditional content of the Passover seder or the Exodus story while others reference other biblical tales. Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Jewish Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist Matthäus Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30. In addition to the in text engravings there is famously fold-out engraved biblical map of the Holy Land in a notable format. Measuring a total of 19.5 by 11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Wilderness of Sinai and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the Sinai and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. Additional illustrations appear near the bottom along with a legend. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin. Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle which references both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi traditions. Provenance and annotations: Full page of text appx. 1500 words in neat Hebrew cursive at front endleaf which discusses aspects of the Haggadah text; inscription in German at front endleaf by Isidor Adler who mentions his friend Hermann Mechlenburg dated March 1906; old annotations throughout in at least two hands. In one notable instance the Hebrew phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah be-hamburg next year in Hamburg! has been added in fine block characters above the traditional phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah bi-yerushalayim next year in Jerusalem.

Images include: the Rabbis of Bene Brak discussing the Passover story the four sons Abraham smashing the idols of his father Abraham welcoming the three angels Moses slaying the Egyptian overseer the rescuing Moses from the river Moses and Aaron coming to Pharaoh w/ staves turning to snakes the ten plagues the Egyptian army drowning in the Red Sea the Exodus the receiving of the Ten Commandments at Mt. Sinai the eating of the Pascal Lamb King David composing his psalms and finally an exterior view of the Jewish Temple with the cityscape of Jerusalem in the background. All images are captioned with relevant passages in Hebrew. The engravings were all created by Abraham ben Jacob a German convert to Judaism who had moved to Amsterdam although some sources over the years misattributed them to financier Moses Wiesel 6 of which were adaptations and/or modifications of previous images by Swiss artist Matthäus Merian 1593-1650 from his original work "Icones Biblicae" 1625-30. In addition to the in text engravings there is famously fold-out engraved biblical map of the Holy Land in a notable format. Measuring a total of 19.5 by 11.5" the map shows the land of Israel the Wilderness of Sinai and Egypt in landscape orientation looking eastward towards the top of the map. It traces the journey of the Israelites starting with the Exodus from Egypt through the Sinai and into the Land of Israel. The map is detailed showing the areas of the twelve tribes important locations and cities as well as geographic features including the Red Sea Mount Sinai the Dead Sea the Sea of Galilee and many others. Additional illustrations appear near the bottom along with a legend. This beautiful work also by Abraham ben Jacob is considered among the earliest if not the first map of its kind to be printed within a Hebrew publication. It is now known to have been heavily based on the previously printed 1620 map in Hebrew by Jacob ben Abraham Zaddiq and Abraham Goos 1590 - ca. 1643 which itself was based on the map of 1590 by Christian Kruik van Adrichom Adrichem printed in Latin. Text throughout is printed in Hebrew with smaller text in Rashi script underneath containing famous commentary on the Passover Haggadah by acclaimed Portuguese Rabbi and scholar Isaac ben Judah Abarbanel 1437-1508. The verso of the title page contains the order of the Passover seder with brief instructions in both Ladino Judeo-Spanish and Yiddish Judeo-German a nod to the subtitle which references both the Ashkenazi and Sephardi traditions. Provenance and annotations: Full page of text appx. 1500 words in neat Hebrew cursive at front endleaf which discusses aspects of the Haggadah text; inscription in German at front endleaf by Isidor Adler who mentions his friend Hermann Mechlenburg dated March 1906; old annotations throughout in at least two hands. In one notable instance the Hebrew phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah be-hamburg next year in Hamburg! has been added in fine block characters above the traditional phrase l'shana ha-ba'ah bi-yerushalayim next year in Jerusalem.

The Theatrum Staticum Universalis is the 6th volume of the 10-volume magnum opus of Jacob Leupold 1674 - 1727. It is extensively illustrated with copper plate engravings that fold out so that they can be viewed while consulting the text. What is particularly striking is the strong systematization that is lacking in most works of this period. The technical devices are always described in such a way that the isolated basic elements are first explained and then placed in their functional context. The illustrations show among other things draw wells water wheels pumping stations excavators pumps valves and fountains. Leupold was a German physicist mathematician instrument maker engineer and was director of mines to the Elector of Saxony. His seminal work Theatrum Machinarum Generale "The General Theory of Machines" was published in Leipzig between 1724 and 1739 with the last volumes issued after his death. The Theatrum was the first systematic analysis of mechanical engineering the most complete and the most extensively illustrated work on mechanical engineering hitherto published. It included ahead of its time a design for a high-pressure non-condensing steam engine the likes of which were not built until the early 19th century. Christoph Zunkel unknown

1959réf. 150141Paris: Masson et Cie Libraires de l'Académie de Médecine 1959. The meeting of two Nobel laureates prior to their discovery of mRNA First edition first printing presentation copy humorously inscribed by Wollman on the first blank "To Sydney Brenner to disgust him / a good of bacterial sex Élie" likely missing the word "dose" after "good". Wollman's co-author François Jacob has signed beneath. Brenner's signature is on the front cover in pencil. After receiving his doctorate from Oxford in 1954 Brenner 1927-2019 joined Francis Crick's laboratory focusing his research on how DNA is decoded by cells. He met Élie Léo Wollman 1917-2008 and François Jacob 1920-2013 both well-established bacteriologists at the Institut Pasteur at a symposium on microbial genetics in Copenhagen in 1959. An uncommon monograph on bacterial genetics this work was possibly presented to Brenner on this occasion or shortly thereafter. Though nothing concrete came of the Copenhagen conference Jacob met with Brenner Crick and other biochemists at Cambridge the following spring. As Jacob recalled when he pointed out recent experimental results suggesting that the DNA messenger molecule was unstable "Francis and Sydney leaped to their feet. Began to gesticulate. To argue at top speed in great agitation. A red-faced Francis. A Sydney with bristling eyebrows. The two talked at once all but shouting. Each trying to anticipate the other. To explain to the other what had suddenly come to mind" Jacob p. 312. Brenner and Jacob used their overlapping time as visiting scholars at Caltech to prove that the intermediary in the DNA decoding process was the newly discovered unstable RNA. They partnered with the American molecular biologist Matthew Meselson who had just developed a method for marking bacterial macromolecules with heavy isotopes. During the summer of 1960 the trio finally proved that short-lived RNA molecules - which they called messenger RNA mRNA - carry the genetic instructions from DNA to ribosomes. This feat is considered one of the most elegant experiments in the history of biochemistry. Jacob shared the Nobel Prize in Medicine with Jacques Monod and André Lwoff in 1965; Brenner received the Nobel Prize in 2002. Octavo. With 3 double-sided photographic plates. Original buff wrappers printed in black. Extremities rubbed and a little creased a few small spots and marks faint marginal crease in first half of contents: a very good copy.

1678réf. T5108Very rare first edition of 'one of the most important accounts of travels in the Levant and the first description of Athens which was systematic detailed and trustworthy' Blackmer. 'Spon and Wheler met in Italy in 1675; they travelled together with Francis Vernon to Zakynthos where the two groups separated. Spon and Wheler continued by sea to Constantinople and Vernon travelled overland. The great merit of Spon's work is due to its combination of a careful and knowledgeable interest in classical antiquity with an accurate observation of men manners and topography in modern Greece. The whole of vol. II is devoted to Greece and includes a glossary of Modern Greek words and phrases with instruction on pronunciation. Spon's interest in Greece was longstanding. He had already published Babin's description of Athens which had been communicated to him by the Abbé Pecoil of Lyon with his own notes and preface' ibid.. From Venice Spon and Wheler's itinerary took them along the Dalmatian coast and the Ionian islands. They set anchor at Zakynthos and later Cythera visited Delos and eventually reached Istanbul where they visited the French ambassador Charles-François Olier Marquis de Nointel who had already visited Athens and was able to give them valuable information about the city. They also visited Bursa and Thyateira in Asia Minor and stayed in Izmir for some time. On their return journey they crossed over to Patras from Zakynthos visited Delphi travelled to Athens and toured the region of Attica. Jacob Spon 1647–1685 physician archaeologist and collector was the archetypal French 'curieux' like his father before him. He collected medals manuscripts and inscriptions with immense enthusiasm acquiring an entire coin hoard of seven hundred pieces found at Lyons. George Wheler 1652–1724 who published his own account of their travels in 1682 'was a man of many interests and practical skills. As a boy he had amused himself with woodwork constructing a birdcage and a small harpsichord and had taken an interest in plants; the latter he maintained in Oxford by frequent visits to the physic garden … On his travels he displayed keen curiosity and took the opportunity to collect plant specimens … He gave to his Oxford college more than thirty Greek manuscripts acquired mainly in Athens and Constantinople; they included a priceless illuminated typicon the foundation charter of a convent established in Constantinople about 1300. His plant specimens were given to the Oxford Physic Garden. Wheler occupies a significant position in the history of botany since he introduced to Britain some plants hitherto unknown including St John's wort' ODNB.

The engraving was first published in 1661 and the map shows Tasman's recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania and depicts California as an island. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century. The drawing of the floor was made by Jacob Vennekool who worked closely with Van Campen and since his drawings were first published even before the building was completed they may reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. They also of course show it before the alterations made at various times in later years.Binding a little worn untrimmed otherwise in good condition.

With an engraved ornamental title-page with the title in an oval cartouche and 4 roundels in the corners with scenes from the four plays; 4 full-page engraved plates with similar scenes one in the preliminaries of each play. Each of the four parts starts with a letterpress title-page with the publisher's device of Van Waesberghe. Further with woodcut tailpieces woodcut decorated initials 3 series and headpieces built up from arabesque typographic ornaments. 4 parts in one volume. First and only edition of four morality plays or dialogues often wrongly attributed to the famous Antwerp rhetorician Jean Baptiste Houwaert 1533-1599. In fact they were written by Antwerp rhetoricians ca. 1550 when Houwaert was only about seventeen. It has mistakenly been described as a second edition of Houwaert's Den handel der amoureusheyt Brussels 1583 - see Bibl. Belg. III p. 538 H 189 bis but in fact it has nothing to do with that work: if Houwaert wrote anything for the present edition it would be the entr'actes of the third play.After four preliminary poems on 5 pages by a poet calling himself Niet Snel Al-be-recht four plays follow:1. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Aeneas ende Dido A1-F3; 43 ll. written by the rhetorician Jacob de Mol of the Chamber of rhetoric De Goudsblom in Antwerp performed for the first time in 1552 cf. Vinck-Van Caeckenberghe in her book on Cornelis van Ghistele 1996 who attributes this play to Van Ghistele.2. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Narcissus ende Echo &c. F4-P7; 76 ll.: three separate plays together 2193 verses by Colyn Keyart with entr'actes possibly by Johan Baptiste Houwaert.3. Verscheyden schoone spelen van zinnen van Mars ande Venus &c. Q1-Z1; 57 ll.: three separate plays together 1128 verses probably by Smeecken.4. Vier schoone spelen van zinnen van Leander ende Hero Z2-Gg2; 57 ll.: this play according to Knuttel also by Colyn Keyart is preserved only in this edition.The book is a very important source for the history of the rhetoricians in the Southern Netherlands.One plate shaved otherwise in good condition.l Bibl.
