Description
Brussels, 1617. Hardcover. Very Good. French manuscript written in brown ink in a French cursive hand, pages ruled in red, 21 lines per page. 15.3 cm x 9.5 cm, (58) pp. Bound in contemporary limp vellum with remains of green silk ties. A presentation copy with the dedicatee's name left blank. Clean and fresh, an excellent copy. Very rare manuscript user's manual for the famous terrestrial and celestial globes by the van Langren cartographic dynasty, notable as the first to employ the highly accurate star observations of the "tresfameux" Tycho Brahe - whose contribution is duly acknowledged (fol. 9v). Well into the age of print, these manuals were handwritten rather than printed because the globes which they accompanied were luxury articles and relatively few were produced, notwithstanding their importance. The celestial globes of Van Langren (1594), and later Blaeu, soon rendered Mercator's great globes obsolete. As early as 1590, the young Arnold van Langren was sent to Hven to take advantage of what was at the time the most advanced celestial observatory in Europe. "When Arnold came to Uraniborg, Tycho's plan to publish his stellar positions was already formulated, but the observations and calculations that resulted in the catalogue of 777 stars had not been completed. While Tycho could have provided Arnold van Langren with the newly calculated positions of some stars, perhaps even interim locations for most of them, it seems quite likely that he would have advised the Dutchman to await the completion of this work before beginning a globus Tychonicus. He may even have withheld his consent at this stage." (Adam Mosley, Bearing the Heavens, p. 240). Tycho's own Progymnasmata also makes reference to the visit: "Jacob Floris, citizen of Amsterdam, a great expert in the making of celestial and terrestrial Globes, having sent here his son, skilled in the construction of the same, decided to prepare a certain celestial globe following this rectification of ours of the places of the Fixed Sars, which in its certainty and skillful elaboration is about to greatly surpass those hitherto employed." The present guide directs the user in the workings of both Langren's celestial and terrestrial globes, giving both a general introduction and practical working examples in solving geodetic and astronomical problems. According to van der Krogt, the van Langren manuals are based in part on Robert Hues' Tractaet ofte Handlinge van het gebruijck der Hemelscher ende Aertscher globe (1st ed Amsterdam, 1597), and are in part original. "Among other things, van Langren makes use of a separate 'gnomon sphareicon' (sphaerical angle bar), a small instrument which makes it possible to place a perpendicular line easily on the spherical globe". On f4r Langren discusses the astronomical implcations of the recent calendar reform under Gregory XIII, while on 11r he mentions the influential mentor of Tycho, Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel's method of observing stars by their almucantar and azimuth - a procedure which would later become adopted as the standard method for determining stellar positions. Langren also here explains his decision to include the 32 winds by which modern navigators divide up the sky, which are apparently noted on the globe in Flemish. Despite other similar references to the recent advances of Pedro Nunes (23v), and Tycho Brahe, the present manuscript is above all a practical rather than theoretical guide to the use of the globes in understanding celestial and terrestrial mechanics. Imperative instructions - "tournez vostre Globe ainsi." "Cherchez sur le Globe le degre du Soleil." - evidently enabled the user to manipulate his globes with or without an instructor present. ......

Rimini: Albertiniana, 1774. Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Large 4to. [28.5 x 20.5], xvii pp., (1) f., 25 pp., (1) f., 4 numbered engraved plates, including large engraving of a lynx on title, bound with later wrappers. Light waterstaining in lower corner of title page and some leaves, light toning in title-page upper corner. Generally good, with clear impressions of the plates.Scarce first edition of this work describing various species of marine life found in the Adriatic, illustrated with four plates of unusually high quality coming from a regional press, of interest for the continuing life of the Kircherian tradition in the study of Natural History in opposition to the taxonomic innovations of Linnaeus, with which the author was well-acquainted. Battarra is mainly interested in close description of anatomical features, and takes a reactionary Kircherian view about the wonders of nature rather than following Linnaean taxonomy-Linnaeus himself had treated some of the species described. Battarra had edited the previous year a revision of Bonanni's Museum Kircherianum, in which the principle of "Wonders" rules. Battara was professor of philosophy at Rimini from 1741-89, producing a number of studies of regional biology, most successfully in mycology. His work Fungorum agri Ariminensis historia (1755), which argued against the theory that fungi were spontaneously generated and classified approximately three hundred types of fungus according to their outward appearance, was well known--the later botanist Christian Hendrik Persoon (1761-1836) even named a genus of fungus, Battarea, after him. Note: OCLC records are misleading as to the number of plates; some records indicate five, whereas there are clearly four-the fifth counted could only be the title-page illustration of the lynx flanked by an owl and various fungi. The text clearly indicates the presence of only four accompanying plates, and Harvard's copy, digitized by Google, confirms this.* Stearn, 1992, p. 35; Pritzel 491.

New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1959. First Edition. Near Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Presentation copy signed by Sylvia Beach on the half title, inscribed to the husband of her childhood friend Carlotta Welles Briggs, "For my old friend (see illustration [effaced word "page"] no 10) Jimmy Briggs with much love from Sylvia October 4th 1959." 230 pp. Original tan cloth with blue and black stamping to spine. Near Fine with front board corner a little stained, very slight bowed as well, in a Near Fine unclipped dust jacket. Also laid in is a 46-line, 1pp. TLS from Sylvia on her stationary to Carlotta dated May 15th, 1962, folded in fours with creasing. Beach complains about her dentist, whom she calls her torturer, and says she would like to get away to see her friend "this next weekend but Miss Leet is having a party and the Ambassador wouldn't like it if he didn't see me at it. He is counting on my presence." She writes of subtle resentment from various unnamed parties in Dublin: "They asked me to open the ceremonies, but someone else is going to open the Dublin Whiskey bottles. I am invited to stay with good friends there before [...] But I haven't heard from them since that article appeared in the Guardian and maybe they didn't like my little jokes about Joyce." Amongst other things she mentions Italian and French translations of Shakespeare and Company being issued, as well as German: "The German is called 'Treffenpunkt' which alludes I suppose to its being a punk book." She reports being hesitant to being interviewed again by French TV as she is missing teeth. The letter is dedicated "With much love and I hope a bientot and love to Jim [the book's inscribee] from [signed] Sylvia." Laid in 2 pp. note from Jimmy Briggs' mother to him with a clipped newspaper article about Beach, plus a short typed obituary of Beach from later in 1962. A rare signed copy of the story of the famous bookshop on Paris' Left Bank that was a magnet for some of the best and the brightest literary minds of the early 20th century. Owner Sylvia Beach became the most famous bookseller of the 20th century, publishing Joyce's Ulysses and helping Ernest Hemingway to publish his first work.

Philadelphia: Haswell, Barrington, and Haswell, 1837. First English translation. LANDMARK DESCRIPTION OF RHEUMATIC ENDOCARDITIS. 14 x 23 cm hardcover, recent black cloth binding, bookplate of Robert L. Chevalier MD to front paste-down, new endpapers, i-iv, [10]-64 pp. Scattered light foxing, very good. GARRISON-MORTON No. 11556. "Nouvelles recherches sur le rhumatisme articulaire en général, et spécialement sur la loi de coincidence de la péricardite et de l'endocardite avec cette maladie, ainsi que sur l'efficacité de la formule des émissions sanguines coup sur coup dans son traitement. Paris: J.-B. Baillière, 1836." In this volume he [Bouillaud] irrevocably established the etiologic relationship between rheumatic fever and heart disease. Early reports on this relationship had been contributed by Pitcairn, Jenner, and Wells, but Bouillaud's exposition was more authoritative, comprehensive and accurate than theirs" (Willius & Dry, 125). The merit of Bouillaud's clinical observations was somewhat vitiated by his method of cure: repeated bloodletting at short intervals. Translated into English by James Kitchen as "New researches on acute articular rheumatism in general, 1837" (offered here). JEAN-BAPTISTE BOUILLAUD (1796 - 1881) spent his student time under the guidance of his uncle Jean Bouillaud - chirurgien-major in the army. Following the completion of his studies Bouillaud received his doctorate in Paris in 1823 and subsequently distinguished himself by publishing a treatise on diseases of the heart. In 1831 he was appointed to the chair of clinical medicine at the Charité through competition and soon enjoyed the reputation of an outstanding clinician. However, an enthusiastic follower of his mentor François Joseph Victor Broussais, his therapy of bloodletting was heavily criticized. Bouillaud's works concerned different fields of medicine. His main achievement, however, was in the field of rheumatism. Acute rheumatoid endocarditis is still commonly termed Bouillaud's disease in medical dictionaries in the French language. He recognized the cartilaginous and synovial lesions of this disease and was the first to describe them. By 1861, Bouillaud was Doyen of the Faculty, Membre de I'Institut, and head of La Charité, and in 1868 he became a member of the Académie des sciences. Bouillaud has 6 entries in Garrison-Morton.

2010. ISBN-13: 9781584778868; ISBN-10: 1584778865. Useful Introduction to Roman Law Bernard, Fernand. The First Year of Roman Law. Translated by Charles P. Sherman. Originally published: New York: Oxford University Press, 1906. xiii, 326 pp. Reprinted 2008, 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584778868; ISBN-10: 1584778865. Hardcover. New. $27.95 * This is a useful introduction to Roman law with a level of detail that falls midway between an outline and a textbook. Carefully organized, it is also an excellent reference guide. "To begin with, it is quite comprehensive, for there is not a single principle of Roman law, sufficiently important to be included in first-year study, which the author has omitted.... [L]egal principles and definitions are very concisely stated, and a lecturer on the subject will be glad to find an important rule given in such brief, almost epigrammatic form, that it can be readily committed to memory. (...) Another good feature is the practice of frequently citing the original Latin phrases and sentences.... Lastly, the translator has provided a good index, which is a valuable addition to the original work. We are sure that many teachers of Roman law will welcome this book as a manual to be placed in the hands of their students.": Columbia Law Review 7 (1907) 377-378.
