Encuadernación de tapa dura. Zustand: Muy bueno. 21 cm. Dos volúmenes encuadernados en plena piel de época, con ruedas doradas en planos y otros hierros dorados en lomos. Cortes tintados. La primera edición del Tomo I de esta obra (destinada a combatir, con la sátira y el ridículo, la degeneración en que había caído la predicación) había sido secuestrada por la Inquisición. Nuestro ejemplar corresponde a una rarísima edición del mismo contenido, fecha y pie de imprenta que la primera, publicada, al parecer, con carácter extraoficial y que el estudioso de estas ediciones, José Jurado, califica como edición 1758(2). El Tomo Segundo no se publicó hasta 1768, también de modo clandestino y cuando el P. Isla residía en Italia, como jesuita expulso. Nuestro ejemplar corresponde a la considerada edición oficial, de 1770, y en cuyo pie figura como publicado en 'Campazas' (¿Bayona?), 'a costa de los Herederos de Fr. Gerundio'. Los dos volúmenes en excelente conservación, con encuadernación idéntica, de época, lo que indica que sus propietarios iniciales la consideraron como edición completa. 395 pp. 1 pp. s/n, 1 h. bl. / 313, 1 pp. 2 h. bl.

Zustand: Good. Due parti in un volume in 4to (mm. 310x240). Pp. XX, [4], 67, [1], 144 di testo in indostano impresso con caratteri arabi su due colonne. In apertura una tavola in litografia col facsimile del manoscritto originale. Brossura coeva in carta marmorizzata (dorso rinforzato). Bellissima copia a grandi margini intonsi. Ai frontespizi stemma della Imprimérie Royale.  Prima versione francese e prima edizione a stampa dei versi del celebre poeta islamico Shah Walilullah Muhaddith Dehlawi, che svolse un importante ruolo nell'India musulmana e in tutta l'Asia meridionale col suo insegnamento e con la sua guida spirituale, profondo conoscitore della lingua e della cultura persiana e arabica. Dopo il viaggio alla Mecca e a Medina (Hajj), rientrato a Delhi , col suo insegnamento volle rilanciare gli studi islamici ed il ruolo dei musulmani in India, dopo un lungo periodo di decadenza; compose moltissime opere in persiano e in arabico; tradusse in persiano anche il Corano. La presente edizione, curata da Garcin de Tassy, controllata su sette diversi manoscritti, e dedicata a Silvestre de Sacy, comprende un saggio introduttivo, la versione francese ricca di note erudite, e il testo originale impresso in caratteri arabi dotato anch'esso di un suo frontespizio. Iniziata nel 1834, l'edizione fu portata a termine solo nel 1836 (data che appare sul secondo frontespizio francese). OCLC, 997444570.…

2 parts in 1 volume; folio. (16 1/2 x 10 1/4 inches). Pt. 1: (8), 24 pp; Pt. 2: (2), 18 pp. With engraved folding map, and 100 engraved views and plans on 50 leaves. Bound to style in 18th-century calf and marble paper boards Descriptions and illustrations of 40 magnificent Dutch villas and gardens. The Kennemerlant pleasure houses, idyllic country retreats beloved by Amsterdam's affluent bourgeoisie, boast remarkable gardens influenced by the Dutch Régence style. With their emergence circa 1720, these gardens have gradually evolved, incorporating natural elements that surpass the rigid French-inspired layouts of earlier periods. In a captivating compilation of views and plans, this compendium showcases the splendor of approximately 40 estates nestled north of Haarlem. Marquette, Meerestein, Velzer-beek, Waterlant, Biezenvelt, Papenburg, Spyk, Duin-en-Berg, Velzerhooft, and Uit den Bosch, while an engraved map pinpoints their geographical locations. Dutch and French captions lend linguistic finesse to the visual opulence, while the main text succinctly recounts the historical narrative of each edifice and its ownership. Although the houses themselves exhibit an understated charm, it is their gardens that command attention. These meticulously designed landscapes display grass parterres, serene water basins, meandering pathways, and imposing hedges. Beyond the borders of these estates, the outer perimeters beckon with vignettes of village life, canals, pastoral scenes featuring grazing animals, and the remnants of long-forgotten grand mansions. Such juxtapositions of artistry and rustic allure imbue the surroundings with a beguiling harmony. Two estates, in particular, stand out for their groundbreaking innovation. Waterlant, constructed around 1720, heralds the advent of the picturesque garden, a concept lauded in the esteemed Oxford Companion to Gardens. Waterlant's audacious design takes the form of a labyrinth, where meandering allées reveal surprises at every turn. Among these delightful features are a camera obscura projecting moving images of boats serenely gliding on a nearby lake and a Turkish tent, evoking a sense of exoticism. Equally striking is the domain of Duin-en-Berg, dating back to approximately 1730. This estate's asymmetrical plan within a geometric framework defies convention, harmoniously embracing the natural landscape. By seamlessly incorporating the undulating North Sea sand dunes into its design, Duin-en-Berg celebrates the breathtaking beauty of its surroundings, creating a picturesque backdrop that accentuates its allure. This beautifully illustrated work invites admirers to immerse themselves in the refined elegance of the Kennemerlant pleasure houses. Its pages unfold a journey through time, where the intricate interplay of architecture, horticulture, and nature weaves a tapestry of beauty and sophistication.

Zustand: molto buono. Carta geografica incisa in rame (cm. 48,5x57,5 e margini) con bellissima colorazione coeva. Classica carta eseguita sul modello dei portalani. In De Wit si combinano magistralmente la precisione geografica e il dettaglio artistico. Gli Olandesi apprezzavano molto anche il fattore estetico e l'incantevole gusto decorativo di Wit fu un ulteriore elemento per il suo successo. Dopo la morte di De Wit e di suo figlio, le lastre vennero acquistate da Louis Renard, che le diede di nuovo alle stampe con un suo testo. Reiner e Josua Ottens ristamparono l'atlante di Renard nel 1739 con testo in francese e di nuovo nel 1745 con testo in olandese e i loro nomi incise sulle lastre per la prima volta.…

Hardcover. 1st Edition. 8vo., (9 x 7 ¼ inches). Hand-colored vignette title page printed in two colors, sectional title pages, hand-colored woodblock historiated initial letters, "Message to the Bookbinder" in Dutch and French at end (this copy without the double-page allegorical title page; upper half of pp. 1/2 of Bion cut away). 71 (of 74) double-page maps with hand color in full, heightened with liquid gold, 10 (of 15) plates, 8 of these folding (some pale stains). Contemporary mottled calf, the spine in six compartment separated by five raised bands, gilt lettered in one and decorated in the rest (hinges starting, gilt lettering faded, extremities worn). Provenance: Probably from the library of Andrew Dury (fl. mid-18th century), mapmaker and publisher, his widow's sale 1787. With extensive contemporary manuscript annotations throughout by Charles Skottowe, Hinsale, including the note "This book was bought at Mrs. Dury's Auction, for 101 by Chas. Skottowe Nov 8 1787" on verso of title page. With manuscript ownership inscription of "J. F. Mournan, 1st May 1887, Springmount Hallow" to sectional title page of Africa section. Freeman's, 1/21/2005, Lot 203. First edition. Pocket atlas published by François Halma, the maps reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas, with Luyt's Tables Geographiques & Bion's l'Usage des Globes, featuring striking folding plates diagramming the workings of the celestial systems. Without the world map, the map of southern Germany, and the map of Madagascar. Born in Abbeville, a town in the Picardy region of France, in 1600, Sanson was the most noted French cartographer in modern history. Mapmaker to Louis XIV, King of France, Sanson endowed his maps with the most recent geographical information as well as the finest and sharpest engraving of the period. His "Cartes Generales de Toutes les Parties du Monde" was the most important single product of French commercial cartography of the seventeenth century. Sanson sparked a renaissance in geographical endeavor in his native country, which had not been a major player on the international cartographic stage since the great Oronce Finé in the sixteenth century. With this atlas, Sanson laid the foundations of French domination in map production, initiating the so-called "French school of cartography," a school that was unprecedented in its attention to precision and scientific detail and discarded much of the decorative embellishments of previous maps as irrelevant. From Sanson's time in the second half of the seventeenth century until the latter part of the eighteenth century, French geographical conceptions were more influential than those put forward by any other nation. With this landmark atlas, Sanson all but single-handedly caused the center of cartographic innovation to shift from Holland to France. Although this atlas is always listed under Nicolas Sanson, it is essentially Francois Halma's plagiarized pocket version of the Sanson atlas, reduced from Sanson's 1658 folio atlas, with the map divided into Continent groups. "François Halma was an editor, printer and publisher of theological, historical and geographical works. His output was large. He first established his business in Utrecht in 1674, then moved to Amsterdam and finally settled in Leeuwarden where he died in 1722. Among his works was an edition of Mercator's Ptolemy (1695) and a reduced-size edition of Sanson's large atlas under the new title 'Description De Tout L'Univers' [as here]" (Shirley, Printed Maps of the British Isles 1650-1750, p. 66).

Copper-engraved map, with original outline colour, in very good condition overall. A very fine map of Savoy & Piedmont by two great English cartographers Robert Morden (d. 1703) was one of a new group of mapmakers who established the art of map publication in London on a permanent basis. As demonstrated in this excellent map of Savoy and Piedmont, Morden conveys the artistic and graphic standards of the late 17th century Dutch masters to English idiom. This is particularly true of the very fine engraving, evident here, that would not be typical of 18th century maps in general. Morden's early 18th century map of Savoy and Piedmont includes important topographical illustrations of this very mountainous region, but also, innovatively, main roads. The coats of arms of the House of Savoy, Piedmont and Tyrol are displayed around the title cartouche.…

Copper-engraved map by John Harris, with original outline colour. A rare and important map of the American colonies, in the rare first state. This is in effect a propaganda map, compiled during the War of the League of Augsburg, or King William's War (1689-97). Morden shows the English American colonies thrusting westward, at the expense of the rival French claims. In addition to the Midwest, much of Canada is shown as English. The English colonies along the Atlantic Seaboard are carefully delineated according to English sources, but Canada, the Mississippi Valley, and the Great Lakes are based on French sources, including the maps of Dablon (1672) and Thevenot (1681). Morden still preserves Lederer's configuration (1672) in his depiction of the interior of the Southeast. At lower right is a large inset map of the North Atlantic, the vital life line between Britain and its American empire. Just above is the title piece crowned by the Royal Arms, and an inset map of Boston Harbor based on Thomas Pound's A New Mapp of New England from Cape Codd to Cape Sables (1691). The engraver, John Harris was one of the most accomplished members of his profession working in England. The insets are surrounded by decorative acanthus brackets and supports in the arabesque style, a signature motif of the artist. A second state was published in 1719 with the imprint of John Senex.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Copperplate map (Image: 15 1/2 x 21 1/2 in.; 39.4 x 54.6 cm), engraved by Jean Somer, partially handcolored in outline, decorative cartouche in lower right corner. BINDING/CONDITION: Matted and framed, not examined out of frame. A VERY BRIGHT AND CRISP IMPRESSION OF THE FIRST LARGE-SCALE MAP TO PRESENT ALL FIVE GREAT LAKES IN A COMPARATIVELY ACCURATE CORRELATION. "This delineation would considerably influence the cartography of the region for over 100 years; it was not to be superseded until Guillaume de L'Isle's Carte du Canada, in 1703" (Burden). Sanson's transformative map shows the entire Great Lakes region and the St. Lawrence River basin in detail. It names "L. Erie, ou du Chat" as a recognizable and distinct lake for the first time; the name derives from the native name "Derie" which referred to the "panther-like qualities of the feared local native Indians" (Burden). The northern waters remain the same with the exception of Hudson Bay, which is depicted in more detail. Sanson drew on source information from the Jesuit missionaries who ventured westward after Champlain's death and published annual accounts, or "Relations," of their findings between 1632 and 1673. This included Jean Nicollet's discovery of Lake Michigan, "Lac des Puans," in 1634 and Father Paul Ragueneau's "Relation" of 1648 which describes his visit to Niagara Falls, three decades before Father Louis Hennepin's formal description of the cataracts. Sanson also made several improvements in his east coast delineation: Long Island is introduced with New Amsterdam in its correct position. The Delaware River is more accurately shown, with "N[ouvelle] Suède (the former Swedish colony of Fort Christina) at its mouth, the site of present-day Willmington. The borders of Virginia are defined but none of the English settlements are given.
