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.

Något nötta samtida enkla hkbd med guldornerade ryggar. Tre volymer. Med familjen Stiernstedts exlibris. Saknar frontespiser! Första upplagan av Crusenstolpes stora genombrottsverk Morianen romanen om familjen Holstein-Gottorp på Sveriges tron. Den utspelar sig i tiden från Adolf Fredriks trontillträde 1751 till Sofia Albertinas död 1829 och i dess centrum står morianen Badin ca. 1747-1822. Här introducerar Crustenstolpes sina ökända noter ”Historiskt” när någonting skall vara källbelagt vilka enligt Bo Hammarlund var förödande för Crusenstolpes rykte som trovärdig skribent. ”Historiskt sa Crustenstolpe!” blev ett bevingat uttryck när någonting snarast var historiskt tvivelaktigt. Kommersiellt var verket dock ett stor framgång och den senaste upplagan kom ut så sent som 1928. unknown
