rif. AQ22439Florence: s.n. s.d. but C19th Manuscript on paper ff. 4 1 31 11 first 4 and last 11 blank. Manuscript on blue paper black-brown ink c.16 lines per full page only written on recto. Large hand-coloured coat of arms of D’Oria tipped-in as frontispiece. First leaf minimally soiled and foxed at margins. A very good copy in 19th-century half vellum over marbled boards spine gilt gilt-lettered morocco label lower edges slightly rubbed. Manuscript note signed F.C. Brooke on first blank his side annotations throughout. From the library of the major scholar F. C. Brooke 1810-1896 of Ufford Suffolk. His manuscript note on the first blank reads: ‘I copied this M.S. at Florence in the month of May 1844 from the original M.S. lent to me by the author Count Gräberg de Hemsö librarian of the Pitti Palace. F.C. Brooke.’ An important book collector Brooke lived in Florence and was part of an intellectual circle of British bibliophiles including Lord Vernon. The Swedish count Jacob Gråberg 1776-1847 was a scholar who after a career aboard mercantile ships and those of the British navy ended up as librarian at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. He was the author of works on philology mineralogy geography and statistics. The manuscript the text of which appears to be unpublished was written by Gråberg using archival documents he found in Genoa e.g. Caleagnino’s ‘Memorie di Casa D’Oria’ Adam de Montaldo unavailable elsewhere or printed sources e.g. Scoppius’s work on the origins of major European families. Prefaced by a beautifully drawn hand-coloured coat of arms it is a history of the D’Oria also Doria or De Auria a major Genoese family. It provides an ‘exact genealogy’ of the family so as to defy the widespread early modern fashion of devising mythological or pseudo-historical ancestors to ground a family’s origins in an immemorial and more prestigious past. The text entitled ‘Première Partie’ spans the years 941 and 1300 with mentions of other Genoese families and personalities like Orietta D’Oria. Other than the original which Brooke references we have not traced any other copies of this manuscript in institutional libraries. . 8vo. [s.n., s.d., but C19th] hardcover

rif. 106981London L. Alexander 1813. . Small 4to 24.5 x 19.8 cm; 4 illustration plates including frontispiece and one folding map with a tear professionally repaired without loss unnumbered some occasional staining contemporary morocco neatly rebacked gilt borders marbled endpapers corners rubbed; ownership dedication and signature in brown ink to front endpaper dated '20 Mars 1823'. Text in Hebrew and Judeo-Spanish. 5 19 ll. Scarce edition of Sephardic Haggadah printed in London with parallel text in Hebrew and Spanish. The illustrative plates in these Haggadot after the London Haggadah of 1806 were printed separately on unnumbered leaves and their number varies between different copies missing completely in some. Yudlov lists it with 7 illustrations and 5 maps while Yerushalmi lists it with 3 maps and 'various engravings on separate sheets'. 'This the only Spanish translation of the Haggadah to be printed in London is also an example of the survival into the nineteenth century of the Spanish language among the Sephardic Jews of England.' Yerushalmi 85. Although based on the earlier London Haggadah of 1806 also printed by Levi Alexander this augmented edition included several innovations and a Haroset recipe on the last page. This Haggadah was dedicated to Don Aaron Cardozo 17621834 a Jewish merchant of Sephardic origin a British patriot and one of the foremost citizens of Gibraltar of his time. He was consul for the Beys of Tunis and Algiers and was one of the principal landowners of Gibraltar cf. Jewish Encyclopedia vol. 3 p. 575; Enc. Judaica vol. 5 col. 163. In 1798 Cardozo was instrumental in uncovering the conspiracy to betray the fortress to the French Cardozo was publicly thanked for his services before a parade of the garrison. During the Napoleonic Wars Cardozo supplied Gibraltar with water and provisions and before the battle of Trafalgar in 1805 he undertook a similar mission on behalf of Lord Nelson.

1730rif. 5023Copperplate engraving 83.5 x 55.5 cm 1 folio. Fold marks minor edge wear otherwise a very good copy in very crisp dark impression. Rare large-format engraved print produced in 1730 as part of the celebrations of the 200th anniversary of the Augsburg Confession 1530 one of the foundational documents of Lutheranism. The subject of the print is the famous Tranquebar Mission in southern India which was established by King Frederick IV of Denmark 1671-1730 and led by the German missionaries Bartholomäus Ziegenbalg 1682-1719 and Heinrich Plütschau 1676-1752 who are noted for having translated the Bible into Tamil and arranged for its printing. The engraving executed by Johann Jacob Kleinschmidt after a design by Elias Riedinger is a splendid example of 18th-century Augsburg printmaking. It takes as its compositional conceit a church altar surmounted by a framed retable. The image above the altar depicts the German missionaries preaching to an audience of natives; in the background of this scene can be glimpsed a statue of 'Biruma oder Brama' Brahma. The elaborately carved frame of the retable is enlivened with vignettes illustrating the successes of the Lutheran mission e.g. an Indian smashing an idol a native being baptized a domesticated elephant symbolizing the people under God's yoke etc. Placed atop the altar are oval portraits of Ziegenbalg and Plütschau their names written in Tamil and the books they translated an Indian bible an Indian catechism and an Indian hymnal. A map of southern India hangs on the front face of the altar. Flanking the altar are two young natives: the boy on the left holds the Danish Royal arms and the boy on the right displays the architectural plan of the New Jerusalem Church in Tranquebar built by the Germans and dedicated in 1719. In front of the altar are fallen symbols of the old dispensation. At the foot of the sheet is a poem in Latin and German celebrating the expansion of the Lutheran faith to all corners of the world. The engraving is one of several quite ambitious broadside prints produced in Augsburg to commemorate the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession some of which apparently reproduced paintings executed for the occasion. These rather disparate graphic productions were collected by Johann Michael Roth in 1730/31 and released as a small-edition composite volume with an added engraved title page reading Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs. The contents of this rather odd production vary greatly from copy to copy. Kleinschmidt's Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirche engraving apparently was a commercial success because in 1736 citing demand he released a small-format version of the work its composition slightly altered. OCLC locates U.S. examples of the Augspurgisches Iubel-Gedächtnüs at Illinois Duke Getty Stanford Princeton Yale Harvard Emory Concordia Seminary and Cal. State Sutro. The Getty copy includes Kleinschmidt's Vorstellung der Evangelisch-Ost-Indischen Kirch but it is not clear which other examples include this engraving. Drugulin Historischer Bilderatlas 4112; S.
