EA der «Gallia Comata» des «topografisch aufgebauten Teils» von Ae. Tschudis Schweizerchronik «zum Zeitabschnitt vor 1000» HLS. Auf Titelblatt mit handschriftlichem Namen von Sigmund Wyttenbach Wittenbach in Tinte wohl Apotheker und Burger zu Bern sowie kleinem Wappenstempel «Bern: von Diesbach». – «Aegidius Tschudi geb. 1505 in Glarus gest. 1572 auf seiner Burg Gräpplang bei Flums war der erste schweizerische Historiker und zugleich auch Politiker.Nach erstem Unterricht in der Lateinschule Huldrych Zwinglis damals Pfarrer von Glarus hielt sich Tschudi 1516–1517 in der Burse Internat von Glarean in Basel auf mit dem er zeitlebens in Briefkontakt stand. Kriegsdienste 1523 in Oberitalien und 1536 als Hauptmann in Südfrankreich blieben Episoden. Seine politische Laufbahn begann Tschudi 1530–1532 als Landvogt von Sargans es folgten 1532–1533 das Amt des fürstäbtischen-sankt-gallischen Obervogts von Rorschach und 1533–1535 sowie 1549–1551 jenes des Landvogts der Grafschaft Baden wo Tschudi in Vindonissa Windisch erstmals mit römischen Altertümern in Berührung kam. Ab 1533 Ratsherr spielte Tschudi auch in der Glarner Politik eine zunehmend wichtige Rolle und amtierte 1554–1558 als Landesstatthalter und 1558–1560 als Landammann wobei er auch als Bauherr tätig war Rathaus und Spital in Glarus. Er vertrat das Land Glarus regelmässig auf eidgenössichen Tagsatzungen daneben wurde er häufig zu Schiedsgerichten oder anderweitig als juristischer Berater und Vermittler beigezogen. 1549 war Tachudi Glarner Gesandter zur Bündnisbeschwörung mit König Heinrich II. von Frankreich 1559 eidgenössicher Gesandter zu Kaiser Ferdinand I. an den Reichstag von Augsburg. Im Glarnerhandel auch Tschudikrieg genannt exponierte sich Tschudi 1559–1560 als führender Vertreter der Altgläubigen mit der Forderung nach militärischer Intervention und Rekatholisierung durch die Innerschweizer Orte. Mit dem Scheitern seiner Pläne zog er sich aus der Tagespolitik zurück und lebte 1562–1565 im Exil in Rapperswil SG. Von dort aus wirkte er während des Konzils von Trient als Berater von Abt Joachim Eichhorn von Einsiedeln und verfasste als Laientheologe Schriften über die Heiligenverehrung und das Fegefeuer. Als Gelehrter ohne Universitätsstudium blieb Tschudi zeitlebens Autodidakt. So unternahm er 1524 eine ausgedehnte Alpenwanderung und 1538 eine Romreise baute sich ab 1527 eine Privatbibliothek auf und begab sich unterstützt von seinem Mitarbeiter Franciscus Cervinus wiederholt auf Archiv- und Bibliotheksreisen durch die Eidgenossenschaft zuletzt 1569 nochmals in die Innerschweiz. Auch seine Amtstätigkeiten nutzte er für die systematische Suche nach historischem Quellenmaterial Urkunden Chroniken Nekrologe Urbare Inschriften Münzen. Den wissenschaftlichen Austausch im Briefverkehr pflegte Tschudi nur phasenweise so mit Niklaus Briefer und Beatus Rhenanus am Oberrhein später mit Zacharias Bletz in Luzern und Johannes Stumpf Heinrich Bullinger und Josias Simmler in Zürich. Dabei blendete er den konfessionellen Gegensatz ausdrücklich aus» HLS Christian Sieber. 010 Druck: Konstanz, Johann Conrad Waibel, 1758 unknown

Uncommon in commerce and with WorldCat locating only a small number of copies primarily in German institutions. Zallinger 'was a prolific author' whose 'writings combined elements of philosophy natural science and canon law. His most significant work is his philosophy according to Newton's method the Interpretatio Naturae' in which he defends the Copernican account of the solar system and also the empiricism of Newton against the scholastic method of deductive reasoning' The Bloomsbury Dictionary of 18th Century Philosophers. The Catholic Church had stopped adding heliocentric books to the Index Librorum Prohibitorum in 1758 just a few years before this work was published but Copernicus and Galileo would not be officially rehabilitated until 1820.

This book dummy is inscribed to a collector: 'First dummy of Tokyo / NY June 19th 2007 / signed Jacob Aue Sobol / 1/5'. The series was published the following year as I Tokyo 2008. Jacob Aue Sobol was born in Copenhagen Denmark in 1976. His photographs focus on the universality of human emotion and the search for love within often harsh surroundings. He joined Magnum Photos as an associate in 2007 and became a full member in 2012. Besides his native Denmark Aue Sobol has settled for long periods in Canada Greenland Guatemala Japan Thailand and Russia. In 2006 he moved to Tokyo and spent eighteen months making photographs that explore his loneliness and need for connections in the confined reality of the Japanese capital. 'Initially I felt invisible. Each day I would walk the streets without anyone making eye-contact with me. Everyone seemed to be heading somewhere it was as if they had no need of communication. Most mornings I would take the Chuo-line from Nakano to Shinjuku and even though the train would be packed with salary-men and school girls in uniform I rarely heard a word being spoken. And so I began taking my pocket camera out with me on the streets and in the parks. Rather than focusing on the impressively tall buildings and the eternal swarm of people I began searching for the narrow paths and the individual human presence in a city that felt both attractive and repulsive at the same time.'

Burgdorf 1723. Ad I: First edition of this interesting work of baroque literature. "In the year 1658 a script was published with the purported place of publication Lutetia Paris that caused a most disagreeable sensation: Heutelia Anagram for Helvetia . It contains the following fiction: A Palatine nobleman and a jurist from Wurttemberg both Protestants flee from the Thirty Years War to Switzerland and making ironical comments as they travel from place to place . The tone is unrestrained satirical and sometimes cynical especially when the status of women is concerned. A lot of brutianism is involved. Behind that facade however there is a scientific seriousness that gets to the bottom of things . The intention was always to uncover the oddities of Switzerland." transl. from Feller/Bonjour. Politically the travellers represent the aristocracy and take a firm stand against democracy. Zurich comes away relatively lightly whereas Bale does not. Of Bern however an unsparing social picture is outlined that led to a storm of protest and the "Gnadigen Herren" tried to surpress the book by all means. "Heutelia" was already identified in the 18th c. as a "liber satyricus rarissimus". Haller talks of a rare work and names as authors Jakob Graviseth or Gravisset Herr zu Liebenegg and Landvogt von Oron. More recent research especially by Walter Weigum declares the "Heutelia" to have been written by Hans Franz Veiras 1577-1672 the secretary of the Palatine Elector and Bohemian King Friedrich V who had fled to Zurich. Graviseth maybe translated and reworked the "Heutelia" from Latin giving it a Swissgerman interpretation. At the end the key to the names is found for example: Guretum=Zurich Sebilacopolis=Bale Rusinopolis=Bern Bonzus Corvinus=Jesuit Druida=Pastor Muftus=Messpriest etc. Ad II: First edition of the historic work by the Burgdorf councilman H.R. Grimm 1665-1749 who participated in the 2nd Villmerger War in 1712. Although this popular writing has many misrepresentations and mistakes it is characterized by its lively descriptions. The work also contains popular descriptions of the mountains rivers and natural wonders of Switzerland. Nice copy of two rare works. _ - Ad I: Paisey H 1019; VD17 23:299560W; Weller Druckorte I p. 30; Hayn/Gotendorf VII 257; Haller V 1195; Barth 2193; Faber du Faur 448; Jantz 2571; Kosch II 969; Feller/Bonjour 405f.; cf.

Ad I: First edition of a notable work of baroque literature Heutelia is one of the few literary products of Switzerland in this time and one of the wittiest.

Written by Veiras former advisor of the Winter King i.e. Frederick V Elector of the Palatine and King of Bohemia and by Gravisseth who was Bailiff of Oron it is a critical account on the social conditions in 17th century Switzerland. The title "Heutelia" is an anagram of "Helvetia" the Latin name of Switzerland. "Die Absicht war durchaus die Schäden und Verkehrtheiten der Schweiz aufzudecken" Feller/Bonjour.

Margins of address leaf reinforced with later sheet. Overall good condition. A document of almost pure irony in which a Maryland militia member who served for the government during the Whiskey Rebellion petitions the governor of Maryland for relief from a fine of 600 pounds of tobacco levied on him and his wife for.selling whiskey without a license. Apparently during the time in which Cable "was drafted to go against the insurgents and during his absence" Cable's wife "sold liquor for the support of her family to wit 3 small children." Upon his return from service and during the January 1795 term of the Baltimore County court Cable "was presented for selling liquors without license and was fined 600 lbs of Toba for said offence." Here Cable asks Governor Stone and the "Home Council" for forgiveness of the fine. It worked. According to a note on the verso signed by three "Justices of Baltimore County Court" they found "compassion" for Cable "in remitting the fine imposed as stated in the within Petition." Though the central issue of the Whiskey Rebellion was the 1791 excise tax on whiskey which angered farmers in western Pennsylvania enough to violently resist it it is some level of irony that Cable asks for mercy from the court for selling liquor without a license incurred while he was fighting the farmers resisting the whiskey tax.
