Folio. With 32 (of 33) mostly numbered plates showing the metamorphosis of butterflies, moths and other flying insects. Mounted in passe partouts and kept in a half cloth clamshell box. 32 (of 33) plates depicting the metamorphosis of 67 (of 70) sorts of butterflies, moths and other flying insects in their natural surroundings, the specimens collected, drawn, and here in all but the first ten plates also etched and engraved, by Jacob l'Admiral (1700-70), first published in 1740 with only 25 plates and in 1774 with 33 plates. The first 10 plates in the present set are 18th-century copies that we have not found recorded in the literature. They were apparently copied from the first (1740) edition, for plate VII includes l'Admiral's name as in that edition, removed before the second (1774) edition. Most plates show the species as egg, larva, pupa and adult, both male and female, placed on the plants they frequent in their natural habitat. Scientifically they were a great advance over all that went before, including the pioneering work of Maria Sibylla Merian. L'Admiral began studying butterflies at the age of ten. He collected the specimens during 30 years of travel and intended the first edition with 25 plates to be one of 4 parts for a total of 100 plates. He finished only 8 additional plates before his death in 1770 and had not yet published them or his descriptions. After l'Admiral's death the bookseller Sluyter bought all the copperplates at auction and produced the second edition, including the 8 additional plates. Plate XII depicts a tulip. - Plate 30, though printed from the original copper plate, has one butterfly additional to those in the 1774 edition. Plate II is unnumbered. Although the first 10 plates are copies, all 32 may have been printed on the same mix of paper stocks. There are at least three different paper stocks, but in many cases the watermarks are mostly obscured by the image: Strasbourg arms above 4 & WR, Strasbourg arms with nothing below it, and Strasbourg bend, and countermarks "IV" and "I Villedary". At least some of the Strasbourg arms have a crown similar to Heawood 1819 and 1828, possibly the watermark of the 1774 edition (with countermark IV). Watermarks in all three general styles were already in use before 1740, so a close dating would require a detailed study. - An unscrupulous dealer changed the plate number XXXIII to XXVIII to suggest a complete set of 32 rather than a set of 33 with one plate lacking. The margins have been trimmed close to the plate edge and the paper stock with the "I Villedary" countermark is slightly browned, but the plates are still in good condition. Cf.

Fine Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. 4to. (28 x 20 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 727 p., richly illustrated. Lithography from the chapograph text. Rare complete translation of this early Turkish edition by French mathematician and rector of the University of Paris Paul Emile Appell. In mathematics, an Appell sequence (or equations, or polynomials), is named after him, as is rue Paul Appell in the 14th arrondissement of Paris and the minor planet 988 Appella. "In mechanics, he proposed an alternative formulation of analytical mechanics known as Appell's equation of motion. He discovered a physical interpretation of the imaginary period of the doubly periodic function whose restriction to real arguments describes the motion of an ideal pendulum" (Wikipedia). The translator Mustafa Salim (1873-?) gave lectures on differential and integral calculations, high algebra, technical mechanics, and mathematical mechanics at Hendese-i Mülkiye-i Sâhâne, Darülfünûn [i.e. House of Sciences] and Darüssafaka, which were outstanding schools of the time. (Kökcü). Özege 13550.; TBTK 749, 4573.; This edition is not located in OCLC.
Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original full dark brown leather bdg. Decorated borders on boards, five compartments on the spine, second lettered gilt in the title. Cr. 8vo. (19 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 294 p., 17 folded engraved plates, and richly engraved illustrations. Early edition of this extremely rare encyclopedic book of the first comprehensive Ottoman engineering including the firsts in Ottoman literature of science, especially on various subjects of modern physics and mechanics, cartography, map making, surveying, arrangement of army camps, construction of pulleys, cannon shooting, etc. This book was written by Hüseyin Rifki, who was the chief professor of the Mühendishâne [i.e. Ottoman Engineering School] and was assigned to Medina, Arabia in 1816 to repair the holy buildings in Medina, Arabia. Another important aspect of the book is that it contains the ratios between the measurements used in various European countries before the meter system and the Ottoman measurements, as well as French measures and scales. Early typographic imprint on European paper with a watermark. Hüseyin Rifki translated the ancient mathematician Euclid's book Elements, in which he laid the foundations of geometry, from the English original of the English mathematician John Bonnycastle (1760-1821) in 1789, into Turkish with the name of "Usul-i Hendese", together with Selim Efendi, a converted English engineer. He was appointed as "Engineering-i Berri-i Hümâyûn Serhocasi" [i.e. The Chief Professor of the Engineering School] after the Code of Engineers was put into effect in 1806. He served as the chief teacher between 1806 and 1816. He was sent to the Balkans in 1816 and then was assigned to repair the holy buildings in Medina, Arabia. He died in 1817, just after returning from Mecca to Medina. Özege 12620.; TBTK 14349.; This edition is not located in OCLC.
