Accessit supplementum historiae orientalis ... nova editio. Parisiis, e typographia Regia. MDCLXXXV. Folio, [6 leaves], 264 pp.; Latin text; engraved arms of Louis XIV on title and ownership inscription of the Jesuit College at Reims, dated 1686; 4 engraved headpieces and clus-de-lamps; contemporary vellum with black leather labels and gilt lettering and decorations. Paris, 1685. The preferred second edition of the chronology by the 13th-century historian Butrus ibn al-Rahib, translated to Latin by the Maronite scholar Ibrahim al-Haqilani (Abraham Ecchellensis, 1605-1664). The chronology surveys the prophets and kings of the Old Testament, the Roman Emperors, the Omayyad, Abbasid, Fatemid, and Ayyubid Caliphs, and the Coptic Patriarchs of Alexandria. The second part of the book consists of Ecchelensis's own work on the Arabs entitled Supplementum Historiae Orientalis. In 22 chapters he ranges from the divisions of the Arab peoples, their origin and name, through pre-Islamic religion, philosophical and metaphysical concerns, the resurrection and prophethood, to dreams and ghosts. Four additional chapters treat of the kings of Arabia Felix, Hira, Ghassan, and the Hijaz. Ecchelensis is the only scholar to have attempted a Latin version of the chronology; it was reprinted in this century with the original Arabic text in the Corpus Scriptorum Christianorum Orientalium (1903). The present volume was originally published as part of the great Corpus of Byzantine History inaugurated at the Imprimerie Royale in 1645. Burnet, I, 1436; Le Livre et le Liban, 260.

Show moreThis volume collects several woks on medecine, being the first that of 'Abu Zakariyya' Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh, known as Mesue Yuhanna Ibn Masawayh (C.777-857), one of the great name of Islamic medicine. He was personal physician to the abbasid Caliphs al-Ma'mun, al-Mutasim, al-Wathiq and al-Mutawakkil, and spent most of his life in baghdad and Samarra. He contributed to the translating activities of the famous Bayt al-Hikma; and Hunayn ibn Ishaq, the most influential of the traslators of Greek scientific texts, was his pupil. Despite his distinction, much of Ibn Masawayh's writing has not reached us. Just a handful of his text are extant in Arabic. More has been preserved in Latin Translation, though the attribution of some text to an elder as opposed to a younger Mesue has given the false impression thar there was more than one Ibn Masawayh. It is followed by a well-known work by Francisco de Pedemontium and the Antidotarium of Nicolaus Salernitarum. The last work on medecine is from Abulkasim. Antidotarium Nicolai.

Show moreThis is a beautiful, original map of the African continent, from the 1575 edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Abraham Ortelius. This is the fifth state of the copperplate, still the date 1570 is present in the cartouche, which was removed between 1606 and 1612 (van den Broecke). At the time of its publication it was the most expensive book ever produced. Between 1570 and 1612, it was issued in 31 editions and 7 languages. This map of Africa is based upon Gastaldi's 8 sheet wall map and Mercator's world map of 1569. The map was the first widely disseminated modernized map of Africa in the latter part of the 16th Century and became the standard map of the continent until well into the 17th Century. Relief shown pictorially. Title in decorative strapwork cartouche flanked by two caryatids. Map of Africa including part of Asia. Three sea monsters appear in the ocean and three ships are engaged in battle in the Indian Ocean. Map is based on the Gastaldi 8-sheet wall map of 1564 and Mercator's wall map of 1569 with some modifications engraved by Frans Hogenberg. Scale derived from latitude lines. Coordinates converted to Greenwich meridian. Latin text on verso with title: "Africa." Last line of text: "Ximo, habes litteras Ioannis Baptistae Rhamusi, & Hieronymi Fracastorij" points to the map published in a 1592 Latin edition of Theatrum Orbis Terrarum--(Van den Boecke, Koemans 31:041) From: Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum. Main Heritage Compact General HC.MAP.00274 Print Map Item-ID: i11400687 BIB-ID: 1845455 Abraham Ortelius was born 1527 in Antwerp. He studied mathematics, Greek and Latin and travelled a lot across Europe. He established a business in dealing with books and drawing maps. His first remarkable map was a 8 sheet world map in the year 1564, but only three copies have survived. In 1570 he issued the "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum", the first modern "Atlas" with uniformly sized maps in a systematic collection. The term "Atlas" was not used until Mercator introduced it 20 years later. Most of the maps in Theatrum were engraved by Frans Hogenberg. Atlas Despite its expense, it was a big success and around 7000 copies were printed until 1612, in many editions and six different languages. Beside the Theatrum, Ortelius compiled a series of historical maps and published it in the "Parergon Theatri," which was bound with the Theatrum from 1579 onwards, or published separately. Show less
