1659Best.-Nr. 29260Lyons: Antoine Cellier 1659. First Description of Aortic Stenosis RIVIERE Lazare 1589-1655. Observationum medicarum & curationum insignium centurae tres. . . . Edited by Simeon Jacoz. 4to. 8 311 9pp. Lyons: Antoine Cellier 1659. 225 x 167 mm. Speckled sheep c. 1659 rubbed small wormhole in front cover. Some foxing browning & dampstaining old repair to one leaf. Very good copy. Old signature and notes on endpapers. First Edition. Riviere was the first to describe stenosis of the aortic valve from a case that he treated in 1646. GM 2727 cites Riviere's description of this condition in his Opera medica universa 1674 of which the present work is the first edition; the description appears here on p. 177 and is entitled "Cordis palpitatio & pulsus inaequalitas." Riviere also brought Paracelsian iatrochemistry into the curriculum of the University of Montpellier and it was under his auspices that Alexander Fraser introduced the Harviean theory of the circulation into the University's curriculum in 1636. An edition of the present work was published in The Hague in the same year as this Lyons edition. As Riviere was French it is reasonable to presume that the Lyons edition was first. Hirsch.

With a woodcut printer's device on the title-page. 52 3 1 blank pp. Second instalment of the first children's books series ever printed.

The present work is the second title in the three-part series. It discusses ancient Roman vessels containers dishes vases and receptacles complete with an index in alphabetical order at the end. De Baïf's work was edited and abridged by Charles Estienne 1505-1564 scholar physician and younger brother of printer Robert Estienne 1503-1559. His work met great success and many editions of the different parts of the series were printed in the 1530s and 40s.De Baïf was a humanist poet and wealthy diplomat. He was the French ambassador in Venice and Germany. He hired Charles Estienne as a Latin tutor for his son Jean-Antoine de Baïf 1532-1589 who later became a poet. Estienne initially abridged De Baïf's works to provide simplified Latin readings for his student but soon published it for the enjoyment of other children as well. He was an elegant writer of Latin verse and is commended by poet Joachim du Bellay as having introduced a few valuable words into the French language.With a small water-stain in the outer corner of the leaves throughout not affecting the text.

1669Best.-Nr. 92303Lyon: Nicolas CAILLE 1669. Fine. ""Ex-libris Kabbalisticis"" of famed occultist Stanislas de Guaïta Nicolas CAILLE Lyon 1669 7.3 x 14 cm Relié First edition. Rare copy of this esoteric work by Lazare Meyssonnier physician and ""professor of the science of spirit"" on demonology and diabolic possession the theology of the names of God and Hebrew Kabbalah the various types of magic operative alchemy anatomy angelology. Full calf spine with five raised bands decorated with gilt fillets and fleurons faded gilt-lettered title new endpapers added speckled edges. Joints split a few scuffs to the leather gilt partly faded first three leaves browned a few tears dampstaining to a majority of the leaves and wormholes without loss to the text. Plates lacking but retains its in-text plate depicting the various states of mercury p. 543. The work formed part of the celebrated occult library of Stanislas de Guaïta with his well known ownership inscription as well as his autograph annotations regarding its quality and provenance. Stanislas de Guaïta underscores the importance of the present copy ""Peculiar and very rare book"" and further adds another annotation: ""In this copy the engravings are wanting"". Although lacking its illustrations the work attracted the bibliophile's attention as it is in any case so rare that surviving copies have often suffered the ravages of time: even the BnF's copy is missing several leaves. Guaïta's collection of books and manuscripts on alchemy witchcraft magic astrology magnetism spiritism and other esoteric fields is regarded as one of the most complete and scholarly of its kind. Comprising 2227 volumes both early and contemporary some of them of extreme rarity his library remains a reference for the study of esotericism. Guaïta proved to be a passionate bibliomaniac as well as a genuine specialist in the occult sciences: he also made practical use of his library which he used in the writing his Essai des sciences maudites. Guaïta further notes that the copy came from the sale of the libraries of the celebrated spiritists Baroness Güldenstubbe and the Comte d'Ourches Librairie Adolphe Geering Basel 1890 sales at which he made several acquisitions of major importance. This copy appears under no. 1618 of Guaïta's own posthumous sale. Its catalogue published in 1898 and 1899 by the Librairie Dorbon remains a staple of esoteric bibliography. The copy also bears the engraved ex-libris of the leading authority on Stanislas de Guaïta Guy Bechtel author of Notules sur l'art de distinguer les ouvrages provenant des bibliothèques de Monsieur Stanislas de Guaita 1861-1897 avec plusieurs exemples et les reproductions nécessaires à une juste appréciation 1998.

1968Best.-Nr. 145489Cuba: OSPAAAL 1968. Striking original poster by Cuban designer Lazaro Abreu appropriated from an image by Emory Douglas the Black Panther Minister of Culture and the party's in-house artist demonstrating the solidarity between the Black Panthers and the Fidel Castro-founded Organisation in Solidarity with the People of Africa Asia and Latin America OSPAAAL the aim of which was to combat US imperialism and promote Pan-Africanism. OSPAAAL was born out of the Tricontinental Conference hosted in Havana in 1966. Formed with the intention of facilitating the union of liberation movements across the three continents OSPAAAL's primary work was accomplished through its publishing arm. Although multiple Tricontinental conferences were planned they were never realised and the quarterly Tricontinental magazine that was born of the 1966 conference became an important method for those involved to maintain contact and share information. Vivid posters now considered examples of the "golden age" of Cuban poster design were often included in issues of the magazine with messages printed in English French Spanish and Arabic: "The posters were designed to galvanise and unite liberation struggles around the world - from civil rights and anti-apartheid movements to protests against the Vietnam war and Portuguese rule in Angola." FT. OSPAAAL's strong affinity with the Black Panther Party in the US led to several unofficial collaborations. Stokely Carmichael described Tricontinental magazine as "a bible in revolutionary circles" FT. In this particular poster Cuban designer Abreu demonstrates visual solidarity with the Black Panthers by appropriating one of Emory Douglas's images. When discussing his influences in a 2015 interview Emory Douglas explained the circle of inspiration solidarity and informal collaboration between himself and OSPAAAL: "I was influenced more not by artists but more by revolutionary art of that time like the political art that came out of Vietnam and Cuba amazing political posters by - Tri-Continental posters OSPAAAL posters out of Cuba". In reference to his own artistic involvement with OSPAAAL Douglas went on to explain ". what happened is they used to remix them with the images that I did and send them back out into the world in solidarity with the people's struggle around the world. So in that context we were linked together by our solidarity in relationship to fighting against the oppression that was going on around the world in our very different ways. So that was the connection not that of one directly working with them in any way that what would be considered a formal way but in a more like indirect informal way where they would see art that I'd done in the The Black Panther paper and they would remix them into posters and redesign them and send them out to the world. We used to get them in the mail and stuff like that so it was a good thing then; it wasn't like plagiarising because it was solidarity in the context of the struggle and highlighting the contradictions in the struggle and sharing those kinds of images. So in that connection the artwork was linked and there was that connection." This poster appears in a number of exhibitions and catalogues including 'Black Panther: The Revolutionary Art of Emory Douglas' NY: Rizzoli 2014 and 'You Say You Want a Revolution Records and Rebels 1966-1970' London: V&A 2016.

1936Best.-Nr. 39319London: NP 1936. Manuscript. Hardcover. g to vg. Rare collection of two Minute-Books from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 and the Council of the British Section of the World Jewish Congress 1936-37: - Minute-Book from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 SIGNED. Quarto. Unpaginated. 68 leaves. Original half decorative cloth over moire covered boards. This minute-book contains the manuscript notes pertaining to the meetings 34 held by the North London Zionist Society between January 7 1917 and December 31 1918. The notes are written on the first 39 leaves. Affiliated to the English Zionist Federation EZF the North London Zionist Society supported the reestablishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire. This minute-book is particularly interesting in the sense that it was written at a turning point in the history of Zionism. World War I was in its fourth year and the conflict raised hopes among Zionists that the crumbling Ottoman Empire will eventually break up. They hoped to attain support from one of the Great Powers for increased Jewish immigration and eventual sovereignty in Palestine and they eventually succeeded thanks to their chief spokesman Chaim Weizmann a bright statesman and a scientist highly respected in Great Britain and well versed in European diplomacy. In support of the Zionist cause his skillful negotiations with the Foreign Office were climaxed on November 2 1917 by the letter from the foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild which became known as the Balfour Declaration. This document declared the British government's "sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations" viewed with favor "the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish People" and announced an intent to facilitate the achievement of this objective. The Balfour Declaration radically changed the status of the Zionist movement. It promised support from a major world power and gave the Zionists international recognition. That day Zionism was transformed by the British pledge from an utopy into a legitimate and achievable undertaking. The minutes of the 34 meetings featured in this manuscript indicate this event see the entry for November 25 1917 and discuss the following projects and resolutions: decision to reorganize the Society and place Zionist propaganda in the North of London on a firmer basis 1/7/1917; the announcement that Mr. Nahum Sokolow Zionist leader author translator and a pioneer of Hebrew journalism has agreed to address the first public meeting of the Society 1/31/1917; the announcement that Dr. Weizmann has agreed to address the next public meeting of the Society 3/28/17. followed by a protest made at the London Council in connection with the non-appearance of Dr. Weizmann 4/25/1917; Proposal to obtain Mr. Israel Zangwill's services as lecturer at a public meeting 4/11/1917; the question of Jewish military action in Palestine 6/13/1917 and the question of raising a Jewish Legion 12/23/1917; the appointment of Nathan Lazarus and Maurice L. Perlzweig as delegates to the special conference of the EZF 10/1918 etc. Each entry is dated and hand-signed by Chairman Nathan Lazarus. By order of appearance the following members' names are mentioned in the minute-book: Nathan Lazarus Chairman; Maurice L. Perlzweig; Miss Cohen; Mr. B. Grad; Mr. Morgenstern; Mr. Kersch; Mr. Scher; Miss P. Slowe; Mr. Ginsburg; Mr. Benson; Mr. L. Wainstein; Mr. Traub; Mr. A. Levine warden of the New Synagogue Stamford Hill; and Mr. Charles Kauffman. Some rubbing and abrasion to moire. Sporadic smudges to endpapers. Minor age-toning throughout. Binding in overall fair to good- interior in very good condition. Notes: After almost two millennia of existence of the Jewish diaspora without a national state the Zionist movement was founded in the late 19th century by secular Jews largely as a response by Ashkenazi Jews to rising antisemitism in Europe exemplified by the Dreyfus affair in France and the anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. The political movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in 1897 following the publication of his book "Der Judenstaat." At that time the movement sought to encourage Jewish migration to the Ottoman Palestine. Rabbi Maurice Perlzweig 1895-1985 was a founder of the World Jewish Congress and served as the first chairman of the British Section. He was born in Poland and was educated in England where he received acclaim for his oratorical skills and his athletic abilities as a world-class runner at Cambridge.

1936Best.-Nr. 39319London: NP 1936. Manuscript. Hardcover. g to vg. Rare collection of two Minute-Books from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 and the Council of the British Section of the World Jewish Congress 1936-37: - Minute-Book from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 SIGNED. Quarto. Unpaginated. 68 leaves. Original half decorative cloth over moire covered boards. This minute-book contains the manuscript notes pertaining to the meetings 34 held by the North London Zionist Society between January 7 1917 and December 31 1918. The notes are written on the first 39 leaves. Affiliated to the English Zionist Federation EZF the North London Zionist Society supported the reestablishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire. This minute-book is particularly interesting in the sense that it was written at a turning point in the history of Zionism. World War I was in its fourth year and the conflict raised hopes among Zionists that the crumbling Ottoman Empire will eventually break up. They hoped to attain support from one of the Great Powers for increased Jewish immigration and eventual sovereignty in Palestine and they eventually succeeded thanks to their chief spokesman Chaim Weizmann a bright statesman and a scientist highly respected in Great Britain and well versed in European diplomacy. In support of the Zionist cause his skillful negotiations with the Foreign Office were climaxed on November 2 1917 by the letter from the foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild which became known as the Balfour Declaration. This document declared the British government's "sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations" viewed with favor "the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish People" and announced an intent to facilitate the achievement of this objective. The Balfour Declaration radically changed the status of the Zionist movement. It promised support from a major world power and gave the Zionists international recognition. That day Zionism was transformed by the British pledge from an utopy into a legitimate and achievable undertaking. The minutes of the 34 meetings featured in this manuscript indicate this event see the entry for November 25 1917 and discuss the following projects and resolutions: decision to reorganize the Society and place Zionist propaganda in the North of London on a firmer basis 1/7/1917; the announcement that Mr. Nahum Sokolow Zionist leader author translator and a pioneer of Hebrew journalism has agreed to address the first public meeting of the Society 1/31/1917; the announcement that Dr. Weizmann has agreed to address the next public meeting of the Society 3/28/17. followed by a protest made at the London Council in connection with the non-appearance of Dr. Weizmann 4/25/1917; Proposal to obtain Mr. Israel Zangwill's services as lecturer at a public meeting 4/11/1917; the question of Jewish military action in Palestine 6/13/1917 and the question of raising a Jewish Legion 12/23/1917; the appointment of Nathan Lazarus and Maurice L.

Notes: After almost two millennia of existence of the Jewish diaspora without a national state the Zionist movement was founded in the late 19th century by secular Jews largely as a response by Ashkenazi Jews to rising antisemitism in Europe exemplified by the Dreyfus affair in France and the anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. The political movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in 1897 following the publication of his book "Der Judenstaat." At that time the movement sought to encourage Jewish migration to the Ottoman Palestine. Rabbi Maurice Perlzweig 1895-1985 was a founder of the World Jewish Congress and served as the first chairman of the British Section. He was born in Poland and was educated in England where he received acclaim for his oratorical skills and his athletic abilities as a world-class runner at Cambridge. He was founder and chairman of the University Labor Federation of Great Britain and president of the World Union of Jewish Students. After receiving his ordination he officiated at the Liberal Synagogue in London.
