1573 ASTROLOGY 1ed Giuntini Astronomy Horoscope Ptolemy Arabic Cosmography RARE
Francesco Giuntini was a 16th-century Italian astrologer, often considered to be one of the best and most influential astrologers of the 16th-century. He wrote an important defense of astrology which focused heavily on Ptolemy's 'Tetrabiblos' and his own commentary on ancient Arabic cosmography and astrology. While other such astrology treatises exist, this work is of particular value because of the inclusion of numerous birth charts, zodiac, and horoscope readings.

First and only complete edition of Commodore Perry's Japan Expedition!
Matthew Perry was one of the most important American Naval officers during the 19th-century. While he was notable for his involvement in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War, his most famous accomplishment came as the leader of a voyage to Japan beginning in 1852 aboard the East India Squadron. This series of short visits sought to pursue Japanese trade treaties, but Perry and his crew discovered much more – Japanese and Chinese cultures, politics, coal mining and agriculture, as well as attempts at occupation of Formosa. While many events came from this expedition, according to Hill,
"the most important result was that the visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the modernization of Japan"
The events of this expedition were recorded by Perry and Francis Hawks in the 1856 account "Narrative of the Expedition of an… Read More

Baptista Mantuanus was a Carmelite poet whose 15th-century works were influential during the Protestant Reformation. Perhaps the most influential of his works was 'Parthenice Mariana' – a collection of hagiographic poems each of which honored the lives church fathers, Catholic saints and theologians, classical writers and philosophers, mythical heroes, and iconic biblical figures. Notable names include:
• the Virgin Mary
• Catherine of Alexandria
• Hippolytus of Rome
• Euripides
• Jesus Christ
• Hercules
• Hesiod
• Polybius
• And many more (see photos of the table for a complete list of contents)
These poems would become the basis for a new style of writing – the epic poem on religious subjects which heavily influenced Erasmus and John Milton.
This incredibly rare 1514, post-incunable printing of Mantuanus's "Parthenice" features two sets of commentary – one from Sebastian Murrho and the other… Read More

Following the premier in 1788, this book became immensely popular to readers in England, a book in which Keate described the local Pelew people as savages and drew in audiences with descriptions of unknown and unfamiliar lands.
Keate's 'Account' gives descriptions of coral Reefs, manners and customs of the natives, details of battles and local wars, weapons and military tactics, canoe making, and more.
This 1789 edition includes a section on the vocabulary of the Pelew language.

Through the mid-18th-century, large collections of knowledge were relegated to specific areas of study like law, medicine, or religion. However, Denis Diderot's 'Encyclopedie'
changed the public's knowledge base as well as setting a standard for future generations of acquiring knowledge on many different subjects. This was the first encyclopedia to include contributions from many different named writers. It also was the first encyclopedia to describe work-related topics like agriculture, engineering, cooking, and trade.
One of the aspects that made this work so desirable was the incredible, detailed full-page engravings. In fact, the illustrations themselves were so sought-after that they were of published on their own apart from the encyclopedia.
This volume of 'De Planches', or the plates from Diderot's encyclopedia include some of the following engravings:

Beginning in 1847, Brigham Young and the Church of Latter-Day Saints developed a curious, English-like phoneme language. It was originally intended to more accurately sound out the English language than the more traditional Latin letters with hopes of being able to teach immigrants to speak English. This language, which came to be known as Deseret, was never fully embraced by most of America and the books and newspapers printed in Deseret are now extremely rare. The 'Encyclopedia of Mormonism' states:
"Those already literate had little incentive to learn the Deseret Alphabet, while illiterates would have had very little to read. The death of President Young in 1877 marked the end of efforts on its behalf."
Only four books were published in the new Deseret alphabet: The First Deseret Alphabet Reader, The Second Deseret Alphabet Reader, The Book of Mormon, and a Book of Mormon excerpt. This 1868 printing of 'The Deseret… Read More

Antonio Guevara, a 15th-century man of letters, grew up in the court of Ferdinand and Isabella in Spain. His work, now, is considered of little more than historical interest, but his writing style and contents reflect the tastes of the court of Charles V, who he was writing for later in his life.
Two of his most famous works were 'Book of Marcus Aurelius' and 'Diall of Princes'. The latter is an instructional novel written to provide modern rulers with direction on their reign and power. It reverences historical works of Cicero and Plutarch along with commentary on the military and political decision making of Roman Caesars, Alexander the Great, Xerxes, and of course Marcus Aurelius.
'Libro di Marco Aurelio' features a lengthy biography of Marcus Aurelius and includes published letters and 'Meditations' of Emperor Aurelius. This treatise is work on Spanish morality through the lens of the life of the famed Roman Emperor.… Read More
