ANTUERPIAE: APUD IOANNEM BELLERUM SUB AQUILA AUREA. In 24. Dim. 13x8 cm. Pp. (36)+370+(24).Rarissima edizione senza data ma del 1580 della nota leggenda "Barlaam Iosaphat". Il racconto, attribuito a San Giovanni Damasceno (676-749) e popolarissimo in età medievale narra la conversione di Iosafat per merito del Santo eremita Barlaam. Sembra che la storia venne in realtà ricalcata sul modello della vicenda della conversione del Buddha. San Giovanni Damasceno venne dichiarato dottore della chiesa nel 1890. Opera redatta a cura di Georges Trapezuntius. Alla fine del volume la breve opera "De comparatione regis et monachi" di Giovanni Cristostomo a cura di Germain Brice.

Paternoster Row, London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown & Green , 1826. First edition. Illustrated with 60 hand-coloured plates (of which one is double-page), each with two pages of description, all edges gilt, octavo, in an unusual decorated calf binding, possibly late Victorian or early twentieth century, rather worn and marked but still very sound, later re-backed with a new morocco spine, the remains of the original spine laid down, endpapers retained but the free endpapers have been thickened and strengthened, new blank pages at front and rear. The plates are very fine, they are magnificently coloured and have great depth and luminosity, particularly in the foliage which is finely observed. Plate 1 is slightly age-toned, and eight others have the slightest of marks - these are really very very tiny. One of the most desirable of all nineteenth century colour plate books. RARE. [Little seems to be known of Richard Morris, who was a surveyor and landscape designer and flourished in the 1820's to 1830's. He was much influenced by Repton, and an early advocate of "The Flower Garden" and bedding out. He was a Fellow of the Linnean Society, and secretary of the Medico-Botanical Society. His notes on the plants illustrated in this work are quite detailed, and include details of where the actual specimen used was obained. William Clark flourished at the same period, and was a botanical artist to the Royal Horticultural Society. He contributed 52 plates to Stephenson and Churchill's 'Medical Botany', and other works such as Rebecca Hay's 'Moral of Flowers'. One of the finest botanical artists of the period.]. First Edition. Full Leather. Good. Illus. by William Clark.

MILANO: APPRESSO GIUSEPPE GALEAZZI REGIO STAMPATORE, 1776. Rarissimo e celebre opuscolo del 1776 sul modo di proteggere gli edifici dai fulmini. Di Autore anonimo ma attribuito dal Melzi (v. 2 p. 155) all'astronomo e meteorologo Giuseppe Toaldo (1719-1797). I dati tipografici presenti nell'ultima carta. Toaldo fu sostenitore delle teorie di Benjamin Franklin e fece installare dei parafulmini sulla cattedrale di san Marco a Venezia e sulle navi della marina veneziana. Da pag. 17 dell'opuscolo in poi l'autore descrive il primo parafulmine che venne impiantato a Milano sul Pubblico Ardivio. Questa novità fece molto parlare la Milano di allora e scrivere anche i poeti vernacoli del tempo: "Per via di certa macchena insci fada. Missa in guardia a l'archivi e ai so scricciur.

1661 OVID Metamorphoses Greek & Roman Mythology ART Illustrated Schrevel Latin"I grabbed a pile of dust, and holding it up, foolishly asked for as many birthdays as the grains of dust, I forgot to ask that they be years of youth."
― Ovid, Metamorphoses

This epic poem recounts the history of the world from creation to the death of Julius Caesar.
This rare volume is from the 1661 complete works of Ovid, published in 1661 Lyon by Petri Leffen, translated by Cornelius Schrevel. It should be noted that this work contains impressive, full-page illustrations.
