Description:

First Edition: for students studying at Munich's Royal Military Academy. These synchronistic tables provide a bird's-eye view of four and a half millennia - from 4000 B.C.E. to 476 C.E. They cover the history (two tables) and culture (also two) of the Hebrews, Babylonians, Assyrians, Persians, Phoenicians, Egyptians, Carthaginians, Greeks, Romans, and eventually, the Germans. One table treats their nation state's topography. The tables provide a snapshot of ancient governments, religions, customs, warcraft, arts, science, rivers, mountains, cities, flora and fauna. Gemünden taught grammar and history at the academy and dedicated this to Maximilian IV Joseph (1756-1825), then Prince-Elector of Bavaria, who was revitalizing his army. This copy almost certainly comes from his library - the light blue…

Description:
Paris: É. Prevosteau, 1596. Contemporary gilt-ruled vellum over soft paper boards, gilt oval medallion of the Crucifixion on the front panel and of the Annunciation on the rear, gilt-ruled flat spine with lilies and an early manuscript title (faded), all edges gilt; text ruled in red. First Edition and apparently the second printed book on New Year's Day gift-giving. Is it a pagan ritual condemned by the Church or an innocent Christian practice sanctioned by Scripture? I have found two copies in the U.S. In excellent condition (two blank corners slightly defective); from the libraries of the Jesuit Collège de Clermont at Paris (inscription), Hippolyte Destailleur (Catalogue (1891) 2002 "Very beautiful copy", tr.) and Francis Kettaneh (1897-1976), bookticket of CL. ¶Peignot, "Petite bibliothèque xéniographique" in Opuscules ed. Milsand 97-181, esp. 98,IV "sought after" (tr.).
