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.

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.

Show moreFirst Latin edition of Pietro Bizzarri's "Historia della guerra fatta in Ungheria dall' intuitissimo imperatore dei Christiani contro quello deui Turchi" (Lyons, Roville, 1568/69). Contains interesting accounts of the Turkish wars in Hungary during 1564-68, of the siege of Malta, and about the French conquests in Florida and Canada. Also contains passages on Transylvania: "Caeterum paucae urbes, oppida vero complura, non obscuri nominis, in quibus Cibinium, Brassovia, Colosium, Bistricia, & plura alia a Germanis, quos nos Saxones appellamus, condita, & habita, nec rara passim, aedificia cernuntur. Eius solum variis in locis auriferos surculos, & glebulas aureas passim gignit [...] Hanc duae cingunt Walachiae, Transalpina, & Moldavia, illa Danubio, haec mari Euxino admota" (p. 8). "Other passages show that Bizzarri also considered the problem of the meaning of history [...] The second part is a checkered conglomerate of various notes, not without historical value. Bizzarri was especially interested in more or less credible reports of celestial phenomena" (cf. Göllner). - The Italian historian Pietro Bizzarri (1530-83) from Sassoferrato lived in France and England for a time, served the Elector August of Saxony for ten years, and spent most of his life in Antwerp (cf. Jöcher). - Occasional brownstaining (especially to title). Modern binding using old stamp material (fleuronnée stamps forming a border and a central ornament).

Title on half t.p.: Historia Tamerlanis Arabice. First Arabic edition of this important eyewitness account of the life of Tamerlane (Timur Lenk), the successful and barbaric Turkish conqueror in the 14th century, printed entirely in Arabic. "An interesting feature of the book is the use of blue ink for the printing of the word 'Tamerlanis' (between two red lines) on the half-title, as well as for one typographical ornament on leaf 3 recto" (Smitskamp). Based on the original Arabic manuscript completed in 1437-38 by the Syrian author Ahmad lbn 'Arabshah who was secretary to Sultan Ahmad of Baghdad. In the 16th century Timur was made famous in Europe through Christopher Marlowe's play "Tamburlaine" (publ. 1590). - The present work was edited by Jacob Golius and includes a preface by him. The Arabic manuscript used by him is still preserved at Leiden University library and contains many notes in his hand. A French translation by Pierre Vattier appeared in 1658. - II: First edition of the first Persian grammar ever to be printed (Willems notes that Raimondi, in 1614, produced a grammar in Rome for the use of missionaries which remained virtually unknown in the West, but this existed only in manuscript [cf. Smitskamp 310]). "De Dieu's most striking performance" (Smitskamp). The grammars of Ignazio di Gesù (Rome 1661) and of Labrosse (Amsterdam 1684) were largely based on his work. "The two chapters from Genesis are taken from a complete transcription in Arabic characters after the Hebrew-printed Persian text was published by Soncino in Istanbul in 1546" (Smitskamp). - Several contemporary marginal notes in the text; old table of Persian alphabet on endpapers, as well as an old ms. note reproducing Pietro Della Valle's remarks on the Persian language. A very clean, attractive copy. The Life of Tamerlane, especially, is extremely rare: the last copy on the market was the Burrell copy in 1999 (sold at Sotheby's for £8400).

Folio, title within five-piece woodcut border, woodcut initials in both parts, eight full-page woodcuts (one folded, having larger margins left by the binder), and numerous woodcuts in the text of Abulcasis (see below); small library stamp on verso of title, four marginal tears repaired, some worming towards the end; a pleasant copy, with striking endpapers, bound in eighteenth century German mottled sheep, large gilt arms of the Munich Court Library on covers, spine gilt in compartments. A very handsome edition of Abulcasis surgical text, “the first rational, complete and illustrated treatise on surgerY and surgical instruments” (Garrison-Morton). Many of the operative procedures and instruments described by Abulcasis do not appear in extant classical writings and may therefore be regarded as his own, or at least as being part of distinctly Arab practice. The work deals extensively with cauterization, a procedure recommended by the Prophet, and contains several chapters on dentistry and operations of the eve. gvnaecologv and the treatment of wounds and fractures. Some woodcuts illustrate many and various surgical and dental instruments and there are fullpage depictions of cauterization, amputation, the treannent of wounds from projectiles and trepanation. Illustrations to the chapter on dentistry are on pages 173177, including a woodcut of teeth strengthened with silver threads. The printer has also re-used the woodcut blocks by Johann Wechtlin for Gersdorfs Feidhuch dci Wundarizney, 1517. See Guerini, A History of Dentistry, i oq, pp. 125 et seq. fbi an extended discussion of Abulcasis dentistry and instruments. “The chief influence of Albucasis on the medical system of Europe was that his lucidity and method of presentation awakened a prepossession in favour of Arabic liter attire among the scholars of the West: the methods of Alburasis eclipsed those of Galen and maintained a dominant position in medical Europe for live hundred years Albucasis descriptions of operations are clear and particularly valuable because they portray the figures of surgical instruments used in the Middle Ages ... most of the figures of mediaeval times derived from those of Albucasis and incidentally show no knowledge of perspective” (Campbell, p. 88). First edition of Priscianus Euporzston (a go edition, printed by Froben in Basle in the same year was probably published later). Priscianus was a physician who flourished in the 4th century A.D. The first book deals with external ailments, including chapters on the ear, the nose and teeth; the second is on internal medicine and the third book, the Gynaecia, is one of the earliest monographs on obstetrics and gynaecology (see Ricci, The Genealogy of Gynaecology pp. 148149).

First edition of the first great bibliography of surgery, arranged historically, the first volume with texts from the Greek and Arabic classics to 1710 and the second from 1710 to the time of publication. Von Haller (1708-1777), a Swiss physician and anatomist, was a child prodigy who delved into classical languages, mathematics, botany and many other subjects. He studied at Tübingen and Leiden and became professor of medicine, botany and anatomy at Göttingen. His present bibliography of surgery is valuable not only for its record of about 10.000 publications on the subject, but also for his introductory texts to the various sections and his comments on individual publications and authors. It was the last of his 4 great bibliographical works to be completed during his life, following the Bibliotheca botanica and Bibliotheca anatomica, and followed by the posthumous Bibliotheca medicinae practicae. The books in his own library are indicated by an asterisk. - Somewhat foxed, primarily in the first few and last few leaves of each volume, but otherwise in very good condition. Binding good.
