Volumes 2 and 3 (part 2) of the first Latin edition of du Jarric's "Histoire des choses plus mémorables advenues tant és Indes Orientales qu'autres païs de la descouverte des Portugais" (first printed in 1608-14). The present set comprises the highly desirable volumes about Brazil, Hormuz in the Arabian Gulf, the Turkish Wars of the Portuguese and their settlements in India; also about Ethiopia, Congo, Angola, etc. "Contains a full account of the Jesuit mission to Brazil, St. Thomas, etc., with chronographical and historical descriptions of those countries" (Sabin). Du Jarric (1566-1617) vainly wished to join the missionaries of his order. Instead, he dedicated himself to writing on their behalf. His work gives a comprehensive picture of the missionary enterprises of the Jesuits up to 1612, chiefly within the sphere of Portuguese interests. It contains much valuable data on colonial history, geography, and ethnography. - Bond at the end of Vol. 2 are two rare controversial works by the Brabant Jesuit Martin Becanus (Verbeeck or Van der Beeck, c. 1561-1624), confessor to Emperor Ferdinand II. "He was one of the most fanatical champions of the return to Roman Catholicism" (Faber du Faur 944). - Some browning; index of vol. 3 misbound, otherwise very well preserved.

Serapion the elder was a Christian physician who flourished in Damascus in the second half of the ninth century. He wrote, in Syriac, two medical compilations, one in 12, the other (as here) in 7 books. The latter was several times translated into Arabic, and thence into Latin by Gerard of Cremona.

Show moreper Philippum Iollaimun Blereium, cum scholijs eiusdem. Early work on astrological meteorology by the French astrologer Firmin de Belleval from the first half of the 14th century. Here in the first edition edited by Philip Jollain of Blery after the very rare "editio princeps" printed in 1485 by Erhard Ratdolt in Venice, originally published anonymously, but generally attributed to Firmin. Although the author is indebted to the writings of Ptolemy, Pliny, Johannes Hispalensis, Albertus Magnus and many Arabic authors such as Al-Kindi, Abu Ma'shar, Ali ibn Ridwan, Abraham ben Ezra, he drew also largely on contemporary popular knowledge and oral traditions. - The prognostication is the only of Firmin's treatises that was ever printed. In essence it is a treatise on astrological meteorology and it is one of the first meteorological works ever published. Divided into 7 chapters, the book deals respectively with the nature of different parts of the sky, the stars, seasons and climates; global climate changes due to great conjunctions, eclipses and movements of the sun; similar changes due to the respective movements of the sun and the moon; particular judgments arising from the same sets of causes; and predictions concerning rain and weather forecasting in general. - A few minor spots, otherwise a very good copy with ample margins. First published anonymously in 1485 with title "Opusculü repertorii pronosticon in mutationes aeris." Main Heritage Shelves General QB23 .F57 1539 Book Item-ID: i1681745x BIB-ID: 1507125 Show less
