1719rif. ABC_48483Amsterdam: David Mortier 1719. Contemporary quarter brown sheepskin sewn on 5 supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the title lettered in gold on the spine sprinkled paper sides red sprinkled edges. Royal folio. With a title-page in red and black with an engraved device a portrait of Erasmus in an elaborate cartouche with allegorical figures and 124 engraved architectural and sculptural illustrations on 109 numbered plates 6 double-page 103 full-page. First French edition of Van Campen's famous description of the Amsterdam City Hall the present day Royal Palace with more than a hundred plates of the architectural features and sculptures of the building including ground plans elevations and sections of the interior and exterior. Particularly impressive are the giant plates of the tympana which are more than 160 cm wide when fully unfolded. The work also includes the famous plate of the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal which shows the zodiac signs that were originally painted on the celestial map in the middle but are now no longer visible on the floor itself due to fading.The City Hall is the most famous and last major work by Jacob van Campen 1595-1657 the greatest Dutch architect of the 17th century. He began work on the design in 1640 and though the building opened in 1655 it was not actually completed until 1665. It was called "the eighth wonder of the world" at the time and is still considered the most important Dutch monument from the 17th century. It was designed to show off Amsterdam's wealth and magnificence. This is especially visible in the Burgerzaal the heart of the building which depicts Amsterdam as the centre of the world. The impressive mosaic floor with a celestial map in the centre and the two maps of both hemispheres of the world on either side symbolises that the world was at Amsterdam's feet. These maps are the largest ever made. They show Abel Tasman's then recent discoveries in Australia and Tasmania. Many discoveries from his second voyage remained otherwise unpublished until the end of the 17th century.The present work is the French edition of Van Campen's Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam 1664. The plates were drawn by Hubert Quiellinus 1619-1687 and Danckert Danckertsz. 1634-1666 and his father after drawings by Jacob Vennekool 17th century and were first published in Quiellinus' Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool 1661. As such most of the present engravings were published before the building was completed and may therefore reflect Van Campen's plan more closely than the finished building itself. The edges and corners of the boards are scuffed the spine has been rubbed with loss material old restoration at the head and foot of the spine. The text leaves are lightly browned the plates are very clean.l BAL 132; Berlin Kat. 2235; STCN 182312917 5 copies of which 1 incomplete; cf.

''This version has not been seen'' BAL. At least most of the plates were engraved for and first published in Jacob van Campen's masterpiece Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam Amsterdam Frederick de Wit 1664 Hubert Quiellinus's Prima et secunda pars praecipuarum . curiae Amstelrodamenis Amsterdam Frederick de Wit 1655-1663 and Afbeelding van 't stadt huys van Amsterdam in dartigh coopere plaaten . geteeckent door Jacob Vennekool Amsterdam Dancker Danckerts 1661.It includes the famous plate showing the extraordinary cartographic mosaic floor of the Burgerzaal of the Amsterdam City Hall designed by Jacob van Campen with a celestial map in the centre and the magnificent map of the world in 2 hemispheres on either side. 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.

The notorious David Berg 1919 - 1994 founded a Christian cult in 1968 originally known as "Teens for Christ" later "Children of God " and currently "The Family International." Finding adherents among counterculture youth in Southern California Berg promoted the concept of "Flirty Fishing" defined by the Urban Dictionary as "a form of religious prostitution practiced by the Children of God from 1974 until it was officially discontinued in 1987 due in part to the AIDS scare. Its etymology can be traced to Matthew 4:19 where Jesus says "Follow me and I will make you fishers of men." Children of God books

1692rif. 3306804Lyon: Vander Aa 1692. One part moderately water-stained another with slight marginal worming three of the folding plates repaired. Eleven volumes duodecimo the first with four engraved folding plates and all eleven volumes embellished with charming ornamental title-pages; a handsome set in mid eighteenth-century dark panelled calf with original labels. Attractively bound set of Cicero in eleven volumes noted as "respectable and correct" by Moss. The title-page boasts that the accuracy of the text arises from the editorial finesse of Dutch classical scholar Jacob Gronovius whose portrait appears as frontispiece to the first volume curiously the English literary lion Thomas Dibdin claimed the editorial attribution to Gronovius was spurious. Jacob was the father of botanist Jan Frederik Gronovius correspondent and patron of Carl Linnaeus and the author of a treatise on the native plants and herbs of Virginia. A charming set in an appealing early binding this is a considerable publication continuously paginated for a total of 3611 pages.
