FIRST EDITION OF EACH VOLUME. Landmark works on the discovery and exploration of the Niger and its adjacent environs. Laing whose letters are provided in Vol. I is credited with making the first recorded discovery of Timbuktu by a European. Laing's purpose was to explore the Niger itself and he traveled the ancient route from Tripoll in the north to Timbuktu in the south before setting off on the Niger passage. Hornemann's route different than Laing's began in Cairo and ended somewhat east of Timbuktu and farther down river than where Laing began his river journey. The first part of Vol. I prints The Journal of Friedrich Hornemann's Travels from Cairo to Murzuk in the years 1797-98 the second part prints The Letters of Major Alexander Gordon Laing from 1824-1826. Vol. II - IV provide a long and useful introduction and print the Narative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa in the Years 1822 1823 and 1824 by Major Denham Captain Clapperton and the Late Doctor Oudney Extending Across the Great Desert tot the Tenth Degree of Northern Latitude and From Koouka in Bornou to Sackatoo the Capital of the Felatah Empire. Vol III being Major Denham's Narrative and Vol. IV the Journal of An Excursion from Kouka in Bornou Through Soudan to Soccatoo the Capital of Bello Sultan of the Felatahs. Denham and Clapperton in the company of Dr. Walter Oudney travelled from Benioleed near Tripoli almost due south to Lake Tchad with excursions into the mountains west of Mourzuk in Fezzan. Dixon attempted to traverse the circuit around Lake Tchad but was unsuccessful. In the meantime Clapperton and Oudney journeyed west from the lake toward the Niger but the doctor only made it about a third of the way and died in Murmur. Clapperton continued west but was prevented from passing beyond Sackatoo by the local Sultan. He and Denham subsequently returned to Tripoli and crossed back to England This narrative is compiled primarily from Denham's journal with a chapter by Dr. Oudney on the excursion to the mountains west of Mourzuk. A final section by Clapperton relates the westward journey from Lake Tchad to Sackatoo and includes an account of Oudney's death. Among the several appendices are translations from the Arabic of various letters and documents brought back by Denham and Clapperton including a document relating to the death of Mungo Park.

A letter written during Crowther's episcopate as Bishop of the Niger declining an invitation to preach at Red Lion Church on account of his impending departure: "no Sunday or week day available in June and in July I shall be on the voyage for Africa."

An attractive copy. A FOUNDATIONAL TEXT IN HUMANIST EDUCATION AND "ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND DISTINGUISHED GUIDES" TO LETTER WRITING WITH MODELS AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECRETARIES ON HOW NOT TO WRITE A LETTER. Burckhardt "Civilization of the Renaissance" emphasizes the importance of epistolography as an achievement of the true humanist: "To maintain a faultless style under all circumstances was a rule of good breeding and a result of habit." The present pamphlet reached Europe-wide fame and was published in 43 editions in the fifteenth century alone. Salloch describing the need of humanists for exacting manuals for letter-writing states: "One of the most popular and most distinguished of these guides was Franciscus Niger's published first in 1488 recte: 1487. He gives a review of the different kinds of letters from 'Epistola Commendaticia' to amatoria gratulatoria invectiva jocosa etc. furnishes examples of perfect letters from classical as well as contemporary sources and combines them with concise practical rules. Faultless Latin and a select use of the principles of rhetoric seem to be the characteristic features" Salloch Catalogue 234 no. 973. Venetian grammarian Francesco Negri 1452-1523 was a teacher at the Hungarian court of Hippolito d'Este who had attracted a number of distinguished scholars in his Italian retinue.

1517rif. 132° mm 270x194; cc. 18 211 recte: 210 14. Carattere romano con numerose citazioni in carattere greco. Legatura settecentesca in pergamena rigida; dorso a scomparti con titolo e autore in oro su etichetta in marocchino. Bellissimo esemplare dai margini pressoché intonsi Provenienza: Biblioteca Archinto ex-libris araldico. Editio princeps. In testa al volume si trovano legati con segnature indipendenti aa-bb8-cc4 due altri testi del medesimo Autore: la Consolatoria oratio ad Apollinium e il De Fraterna benevolentia opusculum verosimilmente estratti dall'edizione degli Opuscula di Plutarco pubblicati a Basilea nel 1530 'In Officina And. Cratandri'. Negri's work is introduced by a dedicatory epistle to Jean Grolier de Servières 1479-1565 General Treasurer of France and famous bibliophile on whose association cf. A. Hobson Renaissance book collecting: Jean Grolier and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Their books and bindings Cambridge 1999 pp. 28-30. The Dialogus printed after Philostratus's Heroica finds its philological fulcrum in a commentary on the Periegesis of Pausanias still essential today: "the extraordinary Latin paraphrase of the Periegesis in the form of a dialogue published by Stefano Negri in 1517 only a year after the publication of the editio princeps. In his introduction Negri extols the didactic value of the text: the literary journey upon which Pausanias takes the reader can in Negri's view go some way toward replicating the illumination from actual travel to antique lands an experience that was no longer available to the young Philhellenes of Renaissance Europe" W.E. Hutton. "Livre excellent et très rare qui conserve encore une haute reputation" Brunet III 519. Stefano Negri allievo di Demetrio Chalcondylas fu professore di Greco a Milano dapprima presso la scuola dell'Ospedale Maggiore fondata grazie al lascito di Costantino Lascaris in seguito al Collegio dei Giovani Greci che Giano Lascaris fece finanziare da Francesco I cfr.
