Description:
[131], [1 blank] ll.Rare first and only edition (apparently one of two copies known to include the final quire R, with the Imperial privilege noted on the title-page) of the Dutch translation of devotional tracts and sermons by Johannes Chrysostomus (ca. 347-407), Archbischop of Constantinople and an important Greek Church Father and preacher, sometimes known in English as Saint John Chrysostom. After the title-page, table of contents and translators prologue follow the main work noted in the title and three additional works: Van die weder rechtinghe eens menschen, die ghevallen was; Hoe dat niement ghequetst en wort, dan van hem selven and Van vyantschap, toornicheyt, ende van niet te sweren. Although some of Chysostomuss works were published in the original Greek beginning in 1526, they spread earlier and more widely in Latin translation. The printer-publisher Syon Cock appears to have been the first to publish any of Chrysostomuss work in Dutch/Flemish and Anthonis van der Haeghen published a…

Description:
106, [6 blank] pp.First edition of the so-called Oracles of Leo the Wise, with a bilingual (Latin an Italian) text and 16 lovely and rather surreal engravings: an emblematic book of prophecies traditionally attributed to Leo VI (866-911/12), Emperor of Byzantium from 866 to his death and at least here also to Antonius Severus (188-217), sole Emperor of Rome from his murder of his brother in December 211 to his death (the book does not indicate which Severus is intended, but the preface notes that he reigned from 212). The Latin text was circulated, already attributed to Leo the Wise, in the 12th century, but Christians revived it in the 16th century and interpreted it as a prophecy that the Ottoman Empire would fall in 1622. These oracles remained popular in the 17th century, when they were presented as having predicted the setbacks that the Ottomans suffered in Europe in that period.Owner's inscriptions on the title-page, further with a bookplate.

Description:
XV, [1], 526 pp. (omitting the blank leaf, pp. 447-448).One of the most important French works on hunting, richly illustrated with woodcuts and also containing a complete quire of hunting tones, written by the French hunting specialist Jean-Baptiste-Jacques Le Verrier de la Conterie (1718-1783). In this classic on hunting, Le Verrier describes hunting hares, deers, wild boars, wolves, foxes and otters by using hunting dogs. He also discusses canine health, shows studies of hooves and footprints and provides the reader a dictionary of hunting terms at the end of the work. In addition, the work includes a completely engraved quire with hunting tones, including explanations under which circumstances the different hunting tones should be used.Venerie normande was first published in 1763 under the title Lécole de la chasse.

Description:
[8], 522, [14] pp.First edition of a very popular book on smallpox by Steven Blanckaart (1650-1704), son of a leading Dutch physician and professor, who trained as a pharmacologist, studied medicine at Franeker and promoted recent ideas in medicine. He was the first to introduce Cartesianism into medical science. All of the plates, excellent and interesting work by the artist-engraver Jacob Harrewijn, illustrate Blanckaarts own work, but following it he added three other treatises on smallpox, by Franciscus de le Boë Sylvius, Johannes Wier and Blankaarts contemporary, the English physician Thomas Sydenham, this last written in the form of a letter to his London colleague Henri Paman. Blankaarts book, still accompanied by the contributions by others, went through several editions in the original Dutch and in English and German translations.With the Jugenstil book plate of Dr. Ad.

This important and very informative political manual was first published in Latin in 1649 (6th Latin edition 1668). The first Dutch edition was published in 1650 (4th in 1652, 5th in 1660). The other two issues of the 6th edition were published by its printer, Willem van der Hoeve in Gouda, and by Johannes Tongerloo in The Hague. All three include the Militair repartitie-boeckjen and Artikel-brief (scans of the Tongerloo issue at the Royal Library in The Hague omit the Artikel-brief, though the STCN implies that copy contains all three). Although the publisher of the present issue is unknown, all three issues are the same printing and the three parts are sufficiently uniform typographically that Van den Hoeve seems likely to have printed them all.Addressing the main…

Description:
[2], 93, [1] pp.Rare first and only edition of a report on the investigation of tea cultivation and production in Assam (India) and Ceylon. The Dutch cultural association Cultuur Maatschappij in Palakan-Salak asked H.J.Th. Netscher and Alexander Albert Holle to investigate the Assam and Ceylon tea cultivation and production with regard to the economic position of Java tea in the world market. Netscher and Holle had their investigations on tea cultivation and culture in British India and Ceylon printed but never put them on the market, merely giving some copies to parties concerned with the tea industry. They gave the present copy to Norbert Pieter van den Berg, head agent of the Dutch East Indian commercial bank at Batavia and president of the Javanese bank. The report discusses various aspects of tea and its cultivation, including the geographic dissemination, different kinds of tea seeds, the conservation of tea seeds, the process of drying tea leaves and the arrangement of tea factories.

Description:
[8], 53, [1], [2 blank]; 32 pp.Two important works on fortification, together forming the complete works of the army captain and from 1651 city military engineer of Amsterdam, Henrick Ruse (1624-1679), the first to attempt to reform and update the tradition of Dutch fortification established during the Eighty Years' War, paving the way for the greatest exponent of the new Dutch fortification, Menno van Coehoorn.
