	[LABROSSE, JOSEPH]. ANGELO (ANGELUS) Ë S. JOSEPH: ... Gazophylacium linguae Persarum, triplici linguarum clavi italicae, latinae, gallicae, nec non specialibus praeceptis ejusdem linguae reseratum. Amsterdam, Ex Officina Janson-Waesberg, 1684. Folio. Pp. (xviii), 18, 473, (1), index (38). With engraved front or extra title, title printed in red and black. Som minor staining. Uncut copy in contemporary boards, red calf spine. Binding worn. Preserved in a nice modern blue cloth box with red title label. The first proper Persian dictionary to be published. Only preceded by Ravius' Specimen lexici arabico-persico-latini (Lugd. Bat. 1645) and the Persian section by Golius in Castell's Lexicon heptaglotton (London 1669). Includes an introduction mainly based on De Dieu. The dictionary entries are in Italian and followed by translations into Latin, French and Persian. Labrosse composed this work during a stay in the Levant 1664 to 1679. In 1680 he tried to have his work published in Paris without success. A few years later in Amsterdam he arranged with the printing himself. The small Arabic types used in this work Labrosse bought at the Elzevier sale in 1681. The large Arabic types found on the titlepage and eight times within the text were cut by Le Bé in 1599. These types were used only occasionally in Paris until the end of the 18th century and it seems that this is the only time they are used outside France. Schwab 672. Smitskamp PO 345.

	GAFFAREL, JACQUES: Curiositez inouyes, sur la sculpture talismanique des Persans. Horoscope des Patriarches, et lecture des estoilles. No place 1637. Small 8vo. Pp. (xvi), 315. With two folding plates with Hebrew characters (the first plate with tears and the second with tears repaired at the back with some loss). Contemporary limp vellum, stained. Internally with some insignificant stain. A scholarly treatise on ancient talismanic magic and Jewish mysticism (Kabbala). Gaffarel (1601-1681), theolog, was the librarian to Cardinal Richelieu. Around 1623 Gaffarel travelled to Italy where he acquired a.o. the Kabbala manuscripts of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola. This work comprises four parts; the first part defends "the Oriental men", part two treats the use of talismans or amulets in ancient times; the third part deals with the ancient Hebrew astrology and the last part is about reading messages in the stars. Gaffarel then describes the "celestial writing" or arrangement of stars into Hebrew characters. This is illustrated in the two plates. First published in 1629, reprinted many times and translated into English in 1650. This work was critized and condemned by the Theology Faculty in Paris but defended by Gassendi and studied by Descartes. Brunet ii, 1433. Caillet ii, 4293.

Uncut copy in contemporary boards, red calf spine. Binding worn. Preserved in a nice modern blue cloth box with red title label. The first proper Persian dictionary to be published. Only preceded by Ravius' Specimen lexici arabico-persico-latini (Lugd. Bat. 1645) and the Persian section by Golius in Castell's Lexicon heptaglotton (London 1669). Includes an introduction mainly based on De Dieu. The dictionary entries are in Italian and followed by translations into Latin, French and Persian. Labrosse composed this work during a stay in the Levant 1664 to 1679. In 1680 he tried to have his work published in Paris without success. A few years later in Amsterdam he arranged with the printing himself. The small Arabic types used in this work Labrosse bought at the Elzevier sale in 1681. The large Arabic types found on the titlepage and eight times within the text were cut by Le Bé in 1599. These types were used only occasionally in Paris until the end of the 18th century and it seems that this is the only time they are used outside France. Schwab 672. Smitskamp PO 345.
