Metelli ... epistola ad Ant. Augustinum. Only German-printed edition. - Fundamental source for the history of the reign of King Manuel I, "the Fortunate", under whom Portugal discovered the sea route to India and built a colonial empire in the Indian Ocean. Bishop Jerónimo Osório (1506-80), the "Portuguese Cicero", first published his work (based on the chronicle by Damio de Goes) in 1571. It includes an account of the voyages of Vasco da Gama as well as sections on "Arabicae expeditiones fructus", the Arabs' navigational skill, the various sieges of Aden, etc. Also recounts how Mochrin, son-in-law to the prince of Mecca, wrested the island Bahrain ("large, adorned with many magnificent buildings, and very populous, as great numbers of merchants resorted there in matters of business") from the Kingdom of Hormuz, the dominant regional power of the time, and the Portuguese under Sequeire were persuaded to win the island back for the latter. - Title page dust-soiled and relaid; some underscoring in text. Cancelled library bookplate of University College, Oxford, as well as that of Edward John Payne, MA. Ms. ownership (1819) at end of text (William Walsh, "I bought this book at Bath"). Overall a very good tight copy of this book on Portuguese exploration in the Middle East. Main Heritage Shelves General DP604 .O86 1576 Book Item-ID: i16875333 BIB-ID: 1510952 Show less

Extremely rare, complete copy with the engraved title page, the errata leaf, and all nine plates. Abu Musa Jabir ibn Hayyan (known as "Geber" in the Latin tradition) is the name of an author whose historical existence is under debate, but who, according to Arabic culture, is said to have lived in the second half of the eight century, been the head of a hermetic school, and left an extensive body of works on natural philosophy and alchemy. The rediscovery of Geber for the history of chemistry and alchemy, was introduced by Hermann Kopp in the 19th century. The first German edition, published in Vienna in 1751, was entitled "Geberi des Königes der Araber [...] vollständige Chymische Schriften, worinnen in den vier Büchern das Quecksilber, Schwefel, Arsen inn Gold, Silber, Bley, Zinn, Kupfer, Eisen & Oefen [..], Destillationen [...], Essenzen, Salze, Alaune [...], Cinnober, Glaß, Boras, Essig &c. abgehandelt werden; wie auch das Testament, Güldene Buch der dreyen Wörter Kallid Rachaidibi, und andere Chymische Tractätgen, Summa, die ganze Kunst die unvollkommenen Metalle [...] in Vollkommene, als Silber und Gold zu verwandeln; das ist: wie man Silber und Gold machen soll, enthalten [...]". - Publisher's printed dedication to Caspar Richter ("Polonixe Secretario"). Binding somewhat rubbed and stained; very slight trimming to top edge of engraved t. p. Title stamped and with contemp. ms. ownership. Very occasional comtemp. underlinings and marginalia.
