1677 1ed TURKISH Vocabulary & Grammar Dictionary Arabic Ottoman Italian Mascis

An incredibly rare and unique 17th-century Turkish lexical book!

Written by Antonio Mascis, 'Vocabolario Toscano' is a Turkish and Tuscan dictionary published in 1677 Florence. This book, which resembles Giovanni Molino's 1641 Turkish dictionary, is a lexicon of phonetics and grammar of the Turkish language. Mascis draws from Persian, Arabic, Tartar, and Greek words to help clarify many of the rudiments of the Turkish language.

Published only one time, this book is notoriously rare – in fact, only one auction record was found from the last 20 years!

1672 Court Songs & Poems 1ed Poetaster Robert Veel English Charles VIII France

Robert Veel was a 17th-century English poet, who, according to most poet scholars, was a poetaster or…inferior poet. While living a rather less-than upright lifestyle, Veel was eager to fund his habits and life of folly, Veel wrote poetic verses in hopes to amuse others. He died at only 28 years old, but before he passed, Veel published, in 1672, a collection of long songs, poetic verses, and drinking shanties called "New Court Songs and Poems". One is particularly curious – a love song from Charles VIII of France!

1724 Famed BLACK BOOK 1ed Arms Order of the Garter ENGLAND Heraldry Illustrated
John Anstis was a 17th-century English heraldry historian who served as the King of Arms for the Order of the Garter. The Order of the Garter, established in the 14th-century, was one of the most prestigious chivalric orders in all of England. Because of his involvement in the order, Anstis began collection heraldic arms of noble officers and members and published them in an impressive work that was infamously called 'The Black Book'! More commonly called 'The Register of the order of the Garter', this two-volume work features huge, full-page displays of heraldic arms with detailed memoirs of each member.
According to Wagner in "Heralds of England".
"Glover, Camden and Dugdale are formidable names, yet it may be questioned whether Anstis did not in strictly heraldic learning surpass them all. In perusing his manuscript remains one is constantly astonished at the breadth and depth of his scholarship and his mastery of a… Read More
