1787ref. 016686Poultry & Lombard Street London: Charles Dilly & James Phillips 1787. Octavo pp xx 51 a little age-toning and discolouration the title page more marked and with a small old paper repair to the upper corner a near contemporary signature - "R. Prime" - to the title page otherwise very sound internally. in a later twentieth century simple quarter calf binding a little marked and faded the boards slightly bowed. Of great interest is the seedsman's advertisement bound in at the front - Observations on the Culture of the Mangel Wurzel by Jenkins and Gwyther Nursery and Seedsmen New Road and in the Regent's Park. Ths extends to two and a half small sides folded and marked with the remains of an address and a postmark on the final side. Lettsom's work is rare anyway and I can find no trace of another copy of the Jenkins and Gwyther advertisement. Abbe de Commerell had a great interest in husbandry and made a special study of vegetable and fodder crops. Seed of the mangel wurzel fell in to Lettsom's hands and after sowing it at his botanic garden at Grove Hill he found that it produced an excellent crop for both humans and cattle. He immediately commissioned a translation which went in to three editions within a month. His efforts fell on stony ground and he was somewhat derided for his enthusiasm. Shortly in to the next century however it was greatly taken up by farmers. It was at this time that Jenkins and Gwyther issued their little pamphlet. Their nursery at Regent's Park subsequently became the gardens of the Royal Botanic Society. The owner of this copy was Richard Prime of Walberton House near Arundel. Prime a strong Tory was M.P. for the western division of Sussex 1847-54 and the dominant figure in Walberton in his day. Blanche Henrey 556. Second edition. Quarter leather. Good.

Dimensions 274 x 175 mm. 70 folios written in a Gothic bâtarde bookhand 18 large initials parti-colored in red and/or blue inserted leaf in first quire with FULL-PAGE HERALDIC COMPOSITION IN GOLD SILVER RED BLUE AND BLACK. BINDING: Bound in modern nineteenth-century blue velvet over wooden boards pink paper pastedowns and endleaves edges gilt. TEXT: Manuscript contains two works that reflect the spirituality of fifteenth-century Carthusians and their quest for the contemplative life. The first text Sept fruits de la tribulation is known in only five extant manuscript and is still unedited. A free French version probably dating from the fifteenth century of either the longer Latin Tractatus de tribulacione or an abridged adaptation of the French Livre de tribulacion. The second text Miroir d'or de l'ame pecheresse is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery sin especially lechery penance rejection of the world the vanity of human wishes death and hell and heaven. There is neither a modern critical edition of the second text nor a complete census of the existing manuscripts; the copy here was apparently made from an incunable edition of c. 1490. This manuscript begins with a remarkable added full-page illuminated frontispiece with the coat of arms and motto of Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century the abbot of Bonnevaux and Saint-Pierre de Vienne. PROVENANCE: Copied in France perhaps northeastern based on script and linguistic characteristics as well as internal evidence. It belonged to Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century. It then belonged Charles Chardin bibliophile. It was later a part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps 1792-1872 who has been described as the greatest private manuscript collector of all time. CONDITION: Gold slightly rubbed some off-setting from heraldic painted composition to opening text page slight staining in upper margin and into three lines of text ff. 68-69. Overall good condition.
