Offentliche Bekentnis der reinen Lehre des Evangelii, und Confutatio der itzigen Schwermer. ... Item ein Register Illyrici, etlicher bittern unwarheiten Menii und anderer.Jena, Thomas Rewart, 1558. Small 4to (18.5 x 14.5 cm). With two woodcut initials. Modern half cloth.

[28] ll.First issue of the first and only edition of a pamphlet on the "true Evangelical doctrine", by the German Lutheran theologian and reformer Nicolaus von Amsdorf (1483-1565). The pamphlet was published after Johann Pfeffinger held two disputations on the nature of free will. This pamphlet "... reproduced Pfeffinger's teaching in distorted form, maintaining that Pfeffinger and his colleagues had taught that human beings can prepare themselves for grace by their own free will and situate themselves so that God can give them grace..." (Kolb). The text is followed by a section against the "bitter falsehoods" as believed by Justus Menius (1499-1558) and others. Included at the end is a brief and sharp reply by Pfeffinger.A few marginal water stains, otherwise in very good condition.l Kolb, Lutheran ecclesiastical culture: 1550-1675, pp. 47-48; VD16, A2381 (A2382, the second issue).

[AMSTERDAM]. [RADEMAKER, Abraham?].

't Huis Kostverlooren.[Netherlands, ca. 1700]. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper (16.5 x 21.5 cm), with a manuscript caption at the head. Mounted in passepartout.

Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River, just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire, but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt, Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker (1676/77-1735), one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademaker’s drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene, from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed, but otherwise in good condition.l Cf. Blokland & Dumas, de kasteeltekeningen van Abraham Rademaker C58.

Pharmacopoea Amstelredamensis, in qua medicamenta, quae Amstelodami in usu sunt, artificiose praeparantur ut et eorum vires et doses.Leiden, Cornelis Boutesteyn, 1701. 12mo. With engraved frontispiece (repeated on the verso). Contemporary calf, ribbed, each board with a frame of gold double fillets, brown morocco spine label, red sprinkled edges.

[8], 189, [19] pp.Rare ninth(?) edition in the original Latin of the Amsterdam pharmacopoeia, the official pharmacological recipe book issued by the Collegium Medicum of Amsterdam. Daems & Vandewiele notes only one copy, privately owned by D.A. Wittop Koning, and we have located only 3 copies beside the present one. Blaeu, who published the first edition in 1636, published what he called the fifth (1650) and sixth (1660), but in fact Janssonius copied Blaeu’s 1650 edition in 1651. The later Latin editions are unnumbered. Daems & Vandewiele tentatively date a Hendrik Wetstein edition between 1693 and 1701, but its frontispiece, by Coenraed Decker (1650-1685), a pupil of Romeyn de Hooghe, appears to have been engraved for that edition, suggesting a date between 1676 (Wetstein’s earliest imprints) and ca. 1685. The present frontispiece, by Hendrik Elandt (who died in 1705) is clearly based on Decker’s. Continuing Blaeu’s numbering, the present edition would therefore be the eighth, but in fact it is at least the ninth.The Pharmacopoea Amstelredamensis first appeared in 1636 on the initiative of the well-known professor Nicolas Tulp (the subject of Rembrandt’s famous painting “The anatomy lesson by Dr. Nicolas Tulp”): Daems & Vandewiele, pp. 38-39.

During his rule, Portuguese possessions were extended in Asia, and in the New World through the Portuguese colonization of Brazil. The majority of the 419 chapters deal with Portugal's overseas possessions and trading posts in India (Diu, Goa, Chaul, Calicut), China, Ceylon, the Moluccas, the Middle East (Ormuz, Suez), Africa (Zanzibar, Ethiopia, Mozambique), Brazil, etc. The chapters discuss newly acquired lands, the governors of the regions, voyages and travels, wars and sieges, and trade, Portugal being one of the first countries with trading posts in China and Japan. Though João III's reign was marked by the introduction of the inquisition in Portugal from 1536 onwards, the present publication only briefly deals with the subject.
