1491 Hortus Sanitatus Incunable WOODCUTS Herbal Medicine Botany Garden of Health

A substantial fragment of 56 incredible leaves from an incunable printing of "Hortus Sanitatis". This work, also known as "The Garden of Health," is the very first encyclopedia on natural history ever printed. It was published by Jacob Meydenbach in Mainz, Germany in 1491. It included various sections on animals, plants and herbs, birds, fish, stones, and urine. This book was important, not just for its articles on known plants and animals, but also on mythical creatures like dragons, harpies, and hydras.

This impressive collection of leaves includes chapters from "De Herbis" and one leaf from "de Avibus" (plants, birds). Each leaf includes the original woodcut illustrations. A total of 48 woodcuts in this collection include shrubs, bulbs, leaves, roots, and flowers.

Description:
1804 1st print Thornhill Shooting Directory HUNTING Color Illustrated Sport Guns

Richard Thornhill's 'Shooting Directory' is one of, if not the best early 19th-century shooting and hunting manual. This incredible folio hunting guide is a collection of discussions on hunting dogs, firearms and gunpowder, shooting styles, and of course descriptions of game animals. While hunting books have always been popular amongst sportsmen, this particular book is known to have more draw than most because of its exquisite full-page, color engravings!

This incredibly rare and valuable true first printing includes pages 214-220 which were suppressed from later editions. These pages highly criticized the hunting ability and shooting techniques of King George III. It is certainly because of these claims that, following the publication of this book, Thornhill moved from England to live full-time in Paris.

1534 1ed Apian Instrumentum Astronomy Mathematics Alchemy Durer ART Trigonometry
Peter Apian was a 16th-century humanist who is remembered for his studies in astronomy and mathematics. One of his best known works was his 1534 mathematics treatise 'Instrumentum Primi Mobilis'. This book was Apian's studies in trigonometry, and, according to Tomash & Williams,
"Apian published a table of sines that, for the first time, was based on a circle with a radius of a power of ten, in this case one hundred thousand. The values of the functions were thus decimal and were easily adapted to any situation in which the defining circle was a decimal power."
This 1534 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It contains the expected sine charts as well as numerous woodcut illustrations depicting protractor and arc readings. Note that this incredible work includes the original title page, which features a woodcut after Albrecht Durer.

Exceptionally rare, the "Rules, Regulations, and Instructions, for the Naval Service of the United States" is a formal guidebook created under the authority of Benjamin Williams Crowninshield, the Secretary of the Navy (1815-1818), to streamline and standardize practices across the naval forces of the United States. First published by Edward De Krafft in Washington, 1818, the book was a response to an Act of Congress from February 7, 1815, during James Madison's presidency, which called for the establishment of the Board of Commissioners to oversee the Navy Department. This text served to guide the transition of the Navy into a peacetime force after the War of 1812, laying out detailed instructions for various ranks and positions, from yard personnel and warrant officers to high-ranking officials. It covers a wide array of topics including ship maintenance, naval ceremonies, discipline, and provisions, as well as specific… Read More

1529 GREEK Theophrastus BOTANY Philosophy Metaphysics Causes of PLANTS Botanical

"Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend."
― Theophrastus

Theophrastus was a 4th-century BC Greek philosopher known for his studies in metaphysics and logic of Aristotle and Plato. One of his remaining works was 'On the Causes of Plants', an extensive botanical treatise. In fact, this work is considered to be one of the most important works of botany from the middle ages. Theophrastus describes plant growth, instruction on planting and harvesting, soils and fertilizers, farming tools, and the medicinal properties of many plants.

This 1529 edition of Theophrastus' 'Plants' was published in Lutetia, or Paris, by Christian Wechel.

Pherotee La Croix's "Universal Relation of Africa" is a famous 17th-century history of Africa. La Croix was a professor of geography in Lyon whose work on Africa became a lasting authority of African geography and history. However, much of La Croix's "Afrique" was heavily inspired by Dutch author Olfert Dapper's "Description of Africa".
Even still, La Croix's work is notable for the exquisite full-page and folding engravings as well as descriptions of some of the greatest mysteries of Africa including a section on Egyptian pyramids, the Sphinx, and mummies! Other topics include voyages to the Barbary coast, Tunisia, Algiers, and Morocco.

1559 1ed John Froissart Chronicles Medieval Hundred Years' War Chivalry Sauvage 4v

The 'Chronicles' of Jean Froissart have continually been perceived as an important work on medieval history for centuries since its inception in the 14th-century. While some of the subjects covered are repetitive and insignificant, many topics are of utmost importance including famous battles, deaths of monarchs, and the Catholic Church Great Schism. According to Adams in the "Manual of Historical Literature,"
"Froissart might be called the great interviewer of the Middle Ages. He lived from 1337 to about 1410, and wrote chiefly of contemporaneous events. The 'Chronicles' are universally considered as the most vivid and faithful picture we have of events in the fourteenth century. As a picture of the most favorable side of chivalry, the work has no equal"

This 1559 first edition was translated and edited with commentary by Denis Sauvage, printed in an impressive vellum-bound folio!

1519 Paolo Emili FRANCE De Rebus Gestis Badius FOLIO p Incunable Chronicle Kings

Paolo Emili was a 15th-century Veronese humanist known for his histories of France and the Gauls. First published in 1515 and appearing in multiple parts, "De Rebus Gestis Francorum" was written to chronicle the lives and reigns of the French kings from Pharamond through Charles VIII. However, Emili died in 1529 before he could complete the work and it was finished by numerous contributors into the early 17th-century.

This printing from Josse Badius was published around 1517-1519 as Badius did not publish any other editions of Emili after.

1602 HERBAL Castore Durante Herbario Nuovo Plants Medicine Illustrated Mattioli

Castore Durante was a 16th-century Italian scholar who is best-remembered for his major work "Hebrario Nuovo". This work, which was first published in 1585, is a collection of descriptions of plants and their medical uses and healing properties. The plants detailed in this work were from Europe and the East and West Indies with information on how to identify them in their indigenous environment. According to Hunt,
"This was a popular Italian herbal that was reprinted in Italian, and translated and published in several other languages, for a number of years. The plant descriptions are written in the form of poems which Arber describes as 'pleasingly unscientific"

This highly coveted and desirable 1602 second edition is extremely valuable much in part to the hundreds of in-text woodcuts in the style of Mattioli.

1785 James Cook Pacific Voyage Illustrated Eskimos Hawaii TAHITI Human Sacrifice
"Remember, the greater the opportunity, the fewer are those who see it."
– James Cook
James Cook was an 18th-century British explorer known for these three major world voyages. The third Pacific voyage, which began in 1776, took Cook and his crew around New Zealand and Hawaii. On this trip, Cook became well acquainted with the King of Hawaii, Kalani-opu'u. After spending time in the South Pacific, Cook also took his ship northward to the Aleutian Islands reaching to the Arctic Circle. Cook eventually died upon his return to Hawaii, after angering the King of Hawaii.
The events of this voyage became quite popular in the western world, much in part to the narrative that Cook himself wrote concerning the journey.
This 1785 edition of the third voyage was stunningly bound with all four volumes bound in two impressive tomes. In it, authors describe Cook's experiences in the Arctic Circle and the Pacific Ocean and his voyage… Read More

A Note From Fred Rogers: A child's first visit with a pediatrician usually comes soon after birth. It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties. And, of course, new body awareness and needs for privacy develop naturally in children's early years, so all these feelings can make it very hard for them to let doctors investigate the workings of… Read More

ISBN: 0820317713 "Ranging in subject from England's poor laws to the Human Genome Project, The Rhetoric of Eugenics in Anglo-American Thought is one of the first books to look at the history and development of the eugenics movement in Anglo-American culture. Unlike other works that focus on the movement's historical aberrancies or the claims of its hardline proponents, this study highlights the often unnoticed ways in which the language and ideas of eugenics have permeated democratic discourse. Marouf A. Hasian, Jr. not only examines the attempts of philosophers, scientists, and politicians to balance the rights of the individual against the duties of the state, but also shows how African Americans, Catholics, women, and other communities--dominant and marginalized--have appropriated or confronted the rhetoric of eugenics. / Hasian… Read More
