Quaresmio was a writer and Orientalist of the seventeenth century. His father was the noble Alberto Quaresmi and his mother Laura Papa. At an early age he was enrolled among the Franciscan Observantines at Mantua. For many years he held the chairs of philosophy theology and canon law and became successively guardian custos and minister of his province. His long apostolate in the East and the magnificent works he has left us have secured Quaresmius worldwide fame especially among earlier historians Biblical scholars and Orientalists. On 3 March 1616 he went to Jerusalem where he became Guardian and Vice-Commissary Apostolic of Aleppo in Syria 1616-8 and Superior and Commissary Apostolic of the East 1618-9. During this period he was twice imprisoned by the Turks. In 1620 he returned to Europe but in 1625 was back in Jerusalem whence the following year he addressed from the Holy Sepulchre an appeal to Philip IV of Spain inviting him to reconquer the Holy Land and at the same time dedicating to him his work "Hierosolymæ afflictæ". Between 1616 and 1626 he wrote his classical work "Elucidatio terræ Sanctæ" adjudged by the learned a monumental contribution to history geography archæology Biblical and moral science. During 1627-9 he was at Aleppo as papal commissary and as vicar-patriarch for the Chaldeans and Maronites of Syria and Mesopotamia. In 1629 he went to Italy to render an account to the Holy See of the state of the Eastern Churches; he then returned to the East but how long he remained is not known. Meanwhile he journeyed through Egypt and Sinai the Holy Land Syria Mesopotamia Cyprus Rodi Constantinople and a large part of Asia Minor; he also visited Germany France Belgium and Holland.

1680Incisione in rame (mm. 525x630), abilmente dipinta da mano coeva, verso velato da finissimo foglio di carta Giappone. Bella e rara carta nautica, tratta dal celebre atlante di De Witt ''Orbis Maritimus ofte Zee Atlas", raffigurante l'America meridionale, dal Rio della Plata (Paraguay) allo stretto di Magellano e all'Arcipelago della Terra del Fuoco. La mappa include sorprendenti dettagli decorativi. Il grande cartiglio rappresenta un incontro tra i popoli indigeni e gli europei. Nell'Atlantico meridionale c'è una nave solitaria e una battaglia mortale tra due flotte. Il grafico sottolinea i viaggi olandesi nella regione intorno alla fine del diciassettesimo secolo. Il primo di questi faceva parte del tentativo di commerciare con la Cina e le Isole delle Spezie e la creazione della Compagnia Olandese delle Indie Orientali (VOC). Delle quattordici flotte che partirono dai porti olandesi per le Indie Orientali tra il 1598 e il 1601, solo due lo fecero attraverso lo Stretto di Magellano. La carta è una delle carte nautiche più eleganti e dettagliate del Sud America pubblicate nel XVII secolo. L'abile rinforzo con carta Giappone evita il deperimento da acidità ai verdi e marroni; quindi l'esemplare si presenta in ottimo stato, anche grazie alla splendida coloritura del cartiglio. "Frederick de Wit deve essere considerato uno dei più importanti editori di mappe della seconda metà del XVII secolo. La maggior parte delle sue mappe sono di ottima qualità, sono caratterizzate da un'incisione chiara e bella, dall'attualità e ricchezza dell'immagine cartografica nonché dall'equilibrio delle decorazioni cartografiche".

Since the beginning of the 80's Miguel Trillo has depicted anonymous protagonists from what was know as the 'Movement' in Madrid and has documented the evolution of urban 'tribes' Mods Punks Goths Death-rockers Rappers Head Bangers. over the last three decades all over the world. His photographs depict adolescents and young adults trying to find their identities through the assumption of determined attire and or behaviour that also reflect the contradictions of a society that has experimented a profound transformation in a very short period of time. . 2009. 849654074X .

Very attractive 19th-century French red glazed boards red morocco spine lettered in gilt directly two insignificant worm-holes on lower hinge leading nowhere; trifle wear to binding extremities. Completely unsophisticated. First printing of "Telliamed" in every way a remarkable book. Disguised as an Oriental fantasy it contains perhaps the earliest appearance of one of the most important of all evolution speculations namely the so-called ultra-neptunian theory: that the entire Earth was and is a marine deposit and that all life on land originated from creatures of the sea. Maillet hypothesized that the earth was once entirely covered with water and that the water gradually evaporated into space causing land masses to appear. Maillet also created an ingenious methodology to calculate the age of the Earth: he concluded that the Earth is 2 billion years old evolutionists today consider this figure to be more like 4.5 billion. It is known that Buffon Lamark Cuvier and Darwin read this book and that they were very much influenced by Maillet's unorthodox "heretical" views. Well aware that such an immense figure would incur the wrath of the Church de Maillet presented his conclusions in the guise of a dialogue between a French missionary and an Eastern mystic named Telliamed an anagram for the author's last name i.e. de Maillet spelled backwards. The manuscript remained unpublished until a decade after Maillet's death. In order to present his radical conclusions in the guise of an Oriental tale Maillet interspersed monsters and mythological creatures into his text. Overtly anti-Christian "Telliamed" dismisses the Flood of the Old Testament as a fable because rainfall that lasted forty days would have been insignificant to submerge entire mountains. Maillet asserted that the Earth's history could not be read from the Bible but through the rocks themselves. ¶ With uncanny prescience Maillet describes how species have overlapping physical characteristics that suggested a common life origin namely the sea. Through a Oriental mystic we are told that: "The little Wings had under their Belly and which like their Fins helped them to walk in the Sea became Feet and served them to walk on Land." ¶ REFERENCES: Caillet No. 7009.
