Collection of treatises on hunting in the Netherlands in the 19th century. A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst was forester in the Dutch province of South Holland, and is especially known for his Traité de Fauconnerie , for which he cooperated with the ornithologist H. Schlegel. In the present treatise, Verster van Wulverhorst gives a short survey of the history of hunting before dealing extensively with the hunting regulations in the Netherlands. The full-page engraved plate shows two bisons, the folding lithographed plates depict a hunting scene from the Bayeux tapestry and European and Arabian falcon hunters from the Middle Ages. Ludolf Sloet van de Beele (1806-1890) describes the history of hunting and discusses animals that live(d) in the Netherlands. He was later appointed to the post of Governor-General of Indonesia (NNBW V, cols 751-753). The volume continues with an article by the eminent ornithologist, Herman Schlegel (1804-1884; NNBW IV, cols. 1232-1233), who was Director of the Leiden Museum for Natural History. In "Over de Inlandsche Dag-Roofvogelen" Schlegel gives an accurate description of Dutch birds of prey that hunt by day. He distinguishes eight types, the falcon, hawk, harrier, seaeagle , fish-eagle, kite, buzzard and honey-buzzard, which he lists on the folding table together with their subtypes. The accompanying lithographed plate shows a selection of eight birds. The volume continues with an anonymous article, "De Valkenjacht," (falcon hunting) and a section from Mededeelingen uit het Gebied van Natuur, Wetenschap en Kunst (ed. A. Cohen) from 1844, on large animals that used to live in the Netherlands but have become extinct, and other notes on zoological matters. Minor tears in the folding plates to Schlegel's article, some loose leaves in the final section, hand-written ownership entry first endleaf.

Show moreThe first French work on ophthalmology, drawing on many Greek and Arab sources. First published, in French, in 1585 as Traité des maladies de lóeil. Considered by Garrison & Morton to be the best of Renaissance books on ophthalmology and an epitome of existing knowledge on the subject. This is the second Dutch edition but the first to have been augmented by the well-known Dutch surgeon and ophthalmologist J. Verbrugge, misspelled on the title-page as "Verbrigge". With an engraved frontispiece depicting an ophthalmologist at work. Also with numerous recipes for ophthalmologic problems and with an interesting treatise on dentistry, commonly attributed to Guillemeau although it has also been suggested that Verbrugge might be the author. Jacques Guillemeau (ca. 1520-1613) studied under his father in law, the renowned Ambroise Paré, and became surgeon to the king of France. He was the first to describe the repair of a congenital eyelid coloboma, a full-thickness defect of the eyelid, by freshening the edges and suturing their margins. - A good copy. A rare book by a famous ophthalmologist with an early tract on dentistry. Main Heritage Shelves General RE41 .G85 1678 Book Item-ID: i16828045 BIB-ID: 1508104 Show less

Rare folio edition of this Dutch translation of the journals of Henry Middleton (d. 1613) and Nicholas Downton (Dounton, 1561-1615). Downton was lieutenant under Sir Henry Middleton on the sixth voyage set forth by the English East India Company, in 1610-12. Their ships landed in Aden before continuing to Al-Mukha (Mocha) in Yemen, where Middleton's ship ran aground and had to be refloated. "After an initially friendly reception, the local ruler changed his tune and imprisoned Middleton and his crew on the pretext pf their breaking an embargo against Christian shipping. After spending three weeks as prisoners at Mocha, they were taken inland to Ta'iz and the San'a, where the Pasha explained that the arrival of English ships had been resented by the local Muslim traders. Released in February 1611, Middleton and his crew returned to Mocha and sailed on 9 Aug. 1611 for Surat in India" (Howgego I, 719; cf. also p. 320). - Slightly browned throughout; title page loosened. The engravings show an English ship exploding the the harbour, Middleton in chains in a Mocha jail, etc. Title vignette.
