réf. 11374Amsterdam: 1640. No binding. Very Good. 390 x 535 mm. narrow side margin to right otherwise in very good condition. This sea chart by Jacob Aertsz. Colom 1600-73 reverts to the earlier chart by Waghenaer in placing the Cherbourg peninsula in the centre of the map rather than on either side. It extends from 'Treport' in Normandy to 'Benit' Binic in Brittany. The Channel Islands are highlighted and placed correctly with the contemporary issue of an oversized 'Ornay' Alderney. Portland Bill in Dorset is situated at the bottom of the chart. Colom was from Dordrecht and moved to Amsterdam in 1622. In 1632 he published the first edition of the folio pilot guide entitled 'De Vyerighe Colom'. It's title specifically highlighted the 'errors and miscalculations' of Blaeu's contemporary work the 'Zeespiegel'. It also didn't help that his shop was on the same street as Blaeu's house. So began a feud between them. Colom's work was highly regarded and published for many years. Koeman listed the first example of this chart in an edition of 1668 however he did state that due to the lack of surviving examples it may well have appeared earlier. Indeed Ashley Baynton-Williams courtesy of Jason Hubbard highlighted its presence in two earlier English editions of the 'The New Fierie Sea-Columne' dated 1640 in the Library of Congress Phillips 3332 and 1649 at the British Library Maps C.8.c.1.

Dual binding of Wecker's alchemical magio-medical formularies for general and special antidotes first published in 1561 and 1588 respectively. The texts include sections on medicines for different parts of the body as well as by the elements in addition to more complicated remedies and including instructions for the creation of pills oils unguents and elixirs.

In addition to its relatively explicit instructions for the creation of abortifacient medicines it also contains entries for the benefits to be derived from various baths as well as instructions for the use of stones and precious gems in medicine including their occult powers and use in amulets. In addition to an index and tables of contents the books also feature useful charts for navigating the text and identifying the proper remedy for specific ailments.

Couverture souple en papier marbré, pièce de titre jaune calligraphiée et collée sur le premier plat. Très bon état. Papier chandelle de médiocre qualité, bruni et cassant, mais très bien conservé. TIRAGE A 160 EXEMPLAIRES. EXEMPLAIRE OFFERT PAR L'AUTEUR à Monsieur Eugène Amédée Jacob (bibliophile). Compte tenu de la très médiocre qualité du papier utilisé. Document tapé à la machine à écrire (la première Remington a été introduite en France en 1891). Plaquette de peu de pages ... destinée à ne pas être pieusement conservée comme ici. Les exemplaires parvenus jusqu'à nous en bon état de ce document doivent se compter sur les doigts d'une seule main ! Violent pamphlet dirigé contre Octave Uzanne. On joint à ce rarissime exemplaire échappé aux affres du temps, un exemplaire de la réédition commentée donnée en 1997 par Fathi Glamallah (L'Octave, pamphlet bibliophilique dirigé contre Octave Uzanne, Alluyes, William Théry, 1997. Tirage 226 exemplaires). La Société des Bibliophiles Contemporains fondée par Octave Uzanne à la fin de l'année 1889 va mal en 1894. Le Président-Fondateur n'est plus en odeur de sainteté pour une partie non négligeable des membres de cette petite chapelle bibliophilique, aussi dénommée Académie des Beaux Livres. Certains accusent Octave Uzanne d'agir à sa guise, en despote, sans tenir compte de l'avis des membres. Octave Uzanne finira par jeter l'éponge et demandera la dissolution de cette assemblée cette même année. Plusieurs ouvrages de qualité auront néanmoins vu le jour pendant les quelques années d'activité de cette société de bibliophiles esthètes, sous la direction d'Octave Uzanne, principal animateur et promoteur de l'esprit qui l'a fait vivre. Provenance : de la bibliothèque de Eugène-Amédée Jacob, bibliophile, notaire à Angerville, membre des Bibliophiles Contemporains d'Octave Uzanne, comme il se doit pour recevoir ce pamphlet. C'est probablement Eugène-Amédée Jacob qui a personnalisé son exemplaire avec un titre calligraphié à l'encre noire et une étiquette sur le premier plat. Par ailleurs il a collé dans son exemplaire une étiquette de vente de ce pamphlet au prix de 65 francs, provenant d'un catalogue de libraire et encadrée d'un fragment de carte au monogramme d'Octave Uzanne (imprimée cuivre sur papier rouge), et contrecollée au contreplat. BEL EXEMPLAIRE, DE LA PLUS GRANDE RARETÉ.

Bauche, 1754, in-8, front, [4]-233-[2] pp, 28 pl, Basane marbrée de l'époque, dos à nerfs et fleuronné, pièce de titre grenat, tranches rouges, L'une des premières monographies sur les oursins. Édition bilingue, comprenant la première édition française, traduite par Aubert de la Chesnaye-Desbois, et le texte latin en regard. L'ouvrage, paru pour la première fois en 1734 (Naturalis dispositio echinodermatum. Gdansk, Schreiber) devint rapidement une référence sur le sujet. Il est illustré de planches, dessinées d'après celles de l'édition originale et gravées par Maisonneulve : les 22 premières figurent les oursins provenant de la collection Klein ; les 6 autres ceux du cabinet du physicien et naturaliste Réaumur. L'auteur, le naturaliste prussien Jacob Theodor Klein (1685-1759), présente ici la description et la classification des oursins, pour lesquels il a forgé le nom "échinoderme" (peau avec piquants) ; il les divise en trois classes, selon la position de la bouche : anocystes, catocysthes et pleurocysthes. Klein basait sa méthode taxonomique, qu'il appliquait à toutes ses monographies, sur des caractéristiques externes ; il s'opposait en effet vigoureusement à toute autre méthode, y compris le système linnéen, reposant sur des caractères non visibles extérieurement (DSB).

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.
