1792 Buffon Natural History Illustrated BIRDS Zoology Ornithology SNAKES Monkeys

"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"

― Ernst Mayer

The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, it focuses only minerals, birds, and quadrupeds. He was one of the first writers to give explanations to give scientific explanations to Animalia rather than use the biblical explanations of creation. The DSB mentions that

"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."

This beautiful two-volume edition includes over 100 engravings of birds, monkeys, fish and wales, snakes, and large land animals!

Description:
1858 Traditions of Dee-Coo-Dah Native American Indian Mounds Illustrated Pidgeon
"Traditions of Dee-Coo-Dah" is general history of the lost Native American Indian tribes of Northern Mississippi and the ruins they left. He claimed to have discovered a network of symbols used by an ancient race of Native Americans called the 'Dee-Coo-Dah.'
Even though the events described in 'Traditions' are disputed, the content is highly desirable and helps develop the legends of 19th-century North American Indian tribes. According to Sabin, this book is
"A record of personal examination of a great number of ancient mounds and fortifications, and of the traditions regarding them, obtained from an aged Sioux chief…The numerous plates afford very clear illustrations of many remains of Indian structures."

Description:
1709 Saint Francis Assisi Monastic Rule of Penance Lives of SAINTS + Piety RARE

"The deeds you do may be the only sermon some persons will hear today."
― Francis of Assisi

In the 13th-century, devout followers of Saint Francis of Assisi formed the Third Order of Saint Francis. This order closely followed the preachings and examples set by Saint Francis who corresponded with these groups through letter. These letters ultimately developed into what would become the rules for penance in the Third Order.

This early 18th-century account of Third Order of Penance was collected and translated into French by Claude Frassen who included biographical sketches of the lives of saints of the Order along with prayers and liturgical texts. It also contains a printing of "Exercises of Piety" from 1703.

Description:
1689 English Reformation Burnet Henry VIII Elizabeth I Portraits RARE Latin ed

As a response to Nicolas Sanders attack on the English Reformation, Gilbert Burnet published a rebuttal that covered the reign of Henry VIII, the second volume covers the reign of Elizabeth I. The work saw such success and popularity that his reputation was enhanced, and the English Parliament gave thanks to Burnet after the completion of Burnet.

Burnet gives evidences of the difficulties and challenges that the Church of England faced against Catholics and the government. Burnet defended his doctrines in this work and "confirmed them in another sermon, in which he also made some reflections on Bishops" that were impactful in English reforms. (Burnet, HRCE, Book III, 307).

This Latin edition was published in 1689 and is considerably rarer than the earlier English printings. It also features 16 impressive copper engraved portraits.
