rif. 13977129Paris: Maisonneuve et Larose, 1997 fort vol. in-8, 730 pages, illustrations. Bibliographie. Broché, bon état.En 1952, à Kéto, aujourd'hui Bénin, Pierre Verger fut initié au culte des vodouns et fait babalawo, recevant le nom de Fatumbi (celui qui renaît par la grâce d'Ifa). Il se trouve alors dans l'obligation de prendre connaissance des secrets de la médecine yoruba qui lui seront transmis oralement par ses maîtres babalawo. Tout au long des années suivantes, il recueillit des milliers de formules et prit inlassablement des notes sur l'usage des plantes en pays yoruba et sur les incantations accompagnant ces "recettes" médicinales ou magiques, incantations aussi importantes que les ingrédients utilisés. Ce livre présente 447 de ces formules sur les milliers recensées par Pierre Verger. Elles sont classées en : oogun, formules à usage médicinal; ibimo, formules concernant la grossesse et la naissance; orisa, "travaux" concernant les divinités; awure, "travaux" à finalité bénéfiques; abuilu, travaux à finalité maléfique; idaabobo, "travaux" de protection contre les maléfices. L'auteur propose également d'autre informations extrêmement précieuses qui constituent un immense champ pour de futures recherches. Pour les botanistes, il a établi un lexique des plantes en yoruba et selon leur classification scientifique. Pour les linguistes, il commente la variation des noms donnés aux plantes en yoruba en fonctions de l'action qui en est attendue dans les diverses formules, développant une réflexion sur le "verbe agissant", système à caractère poétique créé pour facilité la transmission orale de connaissances qui, de générations, ont transité à travers les siècles.Avec Ewé, Pierre Fatumbi Verger, éclaire d'un jour nouveau une culture et une langue foncièrement différentes de celles transmises par l'écriture.

1860rif. 003712Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. LUBBOCK Sir John William; DAYMAN Rev. Charles Orchard. The Stars in Six Maps on the Gnomonic Projection. Designed and constructed by Sir John William Lubbock Bart. and published under the superintendence of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge. New Edition revised by the Rev. W. R. Dawes F.R.A.S. containing all the objects in Admiral Smyth's Cycle of Celestial Objects. London: Edward Stanford 6 & 7 Charing Cross c.1860. Large folio approx. 470 × 380 mm. Complete with printed front wrapper title page explanatory letterpress six large engraved celestial maps on the gnomonic projection each hand-coloured in outline and printed rear wrapper. Original blue printed wrappers now worn with edge tears losses creasing and general fragility; the leaves all loose as issued. The title and explanation leaves browned with small edge tears and creases; paper brittle but text complete. The six maps in good to very good condition: clean impressions attractive hand-colouring as issued occasional marginal splits or creases but no major loss to the engraved image areas. Overall a complete survival in original issue state with all components present. The gnomonic projection in which all great circles appear as straight lines was adopted by Lubbock to allow the relative positions of stars and constellations to be visualised in a geometrically rigorous manner particularly useful for understanding celestial navigation and the apparent paths of bodies across the sphere. First issued in 1844 under the auspices of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge these maps were revised for this "New Edition" incorporating corrections and additions from the Astronomical Society's catalogues and from Admiral William Henry Smyth's Cycle of Celestial Objects one of the most important mid-nineteenth-century observational surveys. Complete sets in original wrappers retaining both the explanatory text and all six hand-coloured charts are distinctly uncommon. . Good. Soft cover. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 1860.
