Hardcover. Condition: Fine. FIRST EDITION. Bound in 19th c. mottled parchment (minor wear to extremities and head and tail of spine) with gilt spine label. A fine copy, illustrated with 126 woodcuts, with some light intermittent spotting, and instances of foxing and light browning in nine gatherings. Complete with the double-page woodcut view of Imperato's private cabinet of curiosities in his apothecary shop, printed on heavier paper. FIRST EDITION of the first published catalogue of a wunderkammer, illustrated with 126 woodcuts of gems, plants, fossils, sea creatures, reptiles, and insects (Mortimer suggests Mario Cartaro as artist of these blocks) and a double-page woodcut of the museum's interior, the first such depiction in a printed book. The double-page view shows Imperato and his son Francesco guiding visitors through the collection housed in the apothecary, with cabinets of which are packed tight with specimens and books and are surmounted by stuffed birds. Suspended from the ceiling is a dazzling array of fish, crustacea, the blade of a sawfish, a walrus pup, a two-tailed lizard, and -dominating it all- an immense crocodile. The book was edited by Ferrante's son Francesco. In his letter to the reader, Francesco mentions the participation of Niccolò Antonio Stigliola (1546-1623), friend of Campanella and (thanks to the support of della Porta and Galileo) a member of the Accademia dei Lincei. Thorndike identifies Stigiola as the true author. Manzi (Stigliola, p. xiv, and n° 43) confirms the scientist's participation and attributes the illustrations to the prolific engraver, draftsman and print publisher Mario Cartaro (d. 1620), active in Rome before moving to Naples in 1586. The iconic double-page woodcut of the museum interior shows Ferrante and Francesco leading visitors through the museum. The cabinets (some with elaborate inlays) are packed with specimens and -presumably, given that Imperato was an apothecary- medicines. Imperato's collection of books is also on display, laid upon towering shelves. Above the cabinets, on the walls, and suspended from the ceiling is a dazzling array of shells, fish, crustacea, stuffed birds, a chameleon, the blade of a sawfish, a stuffed walrus pup, a two-tailed lizard, and -dominating it all- an immense crocodile. There are also two living creatures, a pair of small dogs, wagging their tails. "The catalogue is divided into 28 books with substantial sections on mining (5 books) and alchemy (9 books), the remainder being devoted to animal and vegetable specimens. Ferrante Imperato took a scientific interest in his collection and was one of the first people to recognize the mysterious 'bronteae' and 'ombriae' as meteoric stones and proved that 'Jew stones', a popular Wunderkammer specimen, were in fact petrified points of an echinus."(Grinke, From Wunderkammer to Museum) Relying on direct observation of natural phenomena, Ferrante Imperato was an early pioneer in the experimental method of science. Like his contemporary from Verona, Francesco Calzolari (whose collection was not published until 1622), Imperato's natural history collection and library "constituted a practical work of reference for physicians, pharmacists and botanists". Among his visitors and correspondents were some of the most important scientists of the day, including Peiresc, Clusius, Aldrovandi, and Bauhin. "In order to carry out his naturalistic studies, Imperato collected minerals, fossils, plants, and animals in a hall of this own house in Platea Sanctae Clarae; this collection can be considered one of the first true museums of natural history in Italy. Showing an innovative mentality, Imperato collected exclusively naturalia or semplici, that is to say, specimens of natural origin excluding artificialia, i.e. objects of human manufacture (with the exception of particularly interesting iconographic material.) The museum was also used as a laboratory and research center. "In order to enrich his collection, Imperato made exchanges with the other naturalists of his day; these exchanges often involved the exchange of live animals in special boxes which allowed them to breathe. The specimens came through purchase, donation, and through expeditions arranged and conducted by Imperato himself in the Phlegrean Fields, on Ischia and other islands in the Gulf of Naples, and the Partenio mount. In certain circumstances, Imperato used special envoys to collect samples from other parts of the Vice Realm of Naples and even as far as the Indies. By the end of his career, Imperato had collected more than 12,000 "semplici terrestri, maritime, and aerie", which were all housed in the museum, the Teatro di Natura."(Malo & Stendardo, Pioneering herpetological researches of Ferrante Imperato) "Imperato was convinced that fossils were the remains of sea animals buried in sediment, which were later turned to stone by 'lapidifying juices.' He described the action of the seas in the deposition of sedimentary rocks and was the first to mention the concept of a stratigraphic sequence." (Wilson).…

12mo (132 x 70 mm). [2], 376 pages (last 3 blank leaves removed). 2 parts, separately titled but continuously signed and paginated. Spanish text in roman types, French translation in italic. Pagination errors, signatures with crooked sorts on h4r and h6r. Woodcut printer?s device on general title, a metalcut headpiece, woodcut initials. Upper margins cut close, shaving a couple of headlines. 19th-century brown morocco, bound for William Stirling Maxwell, with two different blind-stamped monograms on covers, spine gilt lettered, gilt edges, red endpapers (discreet restoration to upper joint). Provenance: William Stirling Maxwell (1818-1878), supralibros, Keir House ?Proverbs? collection bookplate (rear pastedown), small armorial bookplate with his ?I am ready,? etc. mottos (front pastedown); with Quaritch, collation note 1958; with Maggs, 1993, catalogue 1160, no. 27; Kenneth Rapoport, bookplate.*** Only Lyonese edition of a popular collection of over 2000 Castilian proverbs with French translations, first published in 1605, by a lexicographer, royal interpreter, and the first translator of any part of Don Quixote into French (part 1, published the same year as this edition). For each proverb the Spanish and French texts are printed together in one paragraph, differentiated by their type fonts. Gratet-Duplessis praised Oudin?s proverb collection as the best French source for Spanish proverbs, noting the precision of the French translations, and the utility of Oudin?s short explanatory notes. Pierre Rigaud, the printer of this edition, did not do the text justice; frequent incorrect spellings and weird punctuation occasionally render either the translations or the originals nonsensical (e.g., ?La mujer que poco hila, sempre trae mala camisa? is translated as ?La femme qui peut filer [instead of peu file], toujours, porte meschante chemise? - p. 95). This edition follows the Brussels 1608 edition in adding a second part, containing a 16th-century epistolary jeu d?esprit by the inventor Blasco de Garay: a series of letters composed entirely of proverbs and aphorisms. It concludes with the Dialogo entre un viejo e amor, a dramatic poem first published in 1511, attributed to Rodrigo Cota de Maguaque, in which Love persuades an old man who had been resigned to his solitude to try again, and then proceeds to mock him cruelly. An appealing copy of a scarce edition. USTC, OCLC and NUC give 4 US locations (Hispanic Society, UC Berkeley, NYPL and U. Penn).

Half-Leather. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. 4to (7 1/4 x 5 12 in.; 19 x 15 cm.): [16], 244, [2] pages (pages [1]-[2], i.e. leaf [A]1, blank; pages 153-168, i.e. "M" signature, misbound between pages 148-149; [2] pages at end blank); wood-cut ornament on title, several wood-cut diagrams in the text; some headlines shaved. 20th century half blue morocco over blue cloth, top edge gilt, title in gilt on spine; extremities lightly sunned. (64V1D) PROVENANCE: From the library of the Barons Harlech and the Ormsby Gore family of Glyn Cywarch, Wales. "In 1946 I found in a tin box in the cellar [at Brogyntyn] two bundles of quartos [including this volume] tied up with tape, and a note in William Ormsby Gore's handwriting, dated 1815, describing them as 'Elizabeth and Jacobean tracts found at Porkington'" (William George Arthur Ormsby Gore, The National Library of Wales Journal, vol. 5, no. 3, 1948). FIRST EDITION OF THE FIRST ENGLISH SURVEYING BOOK OF THE 17TH CENTURY. John Norden (ca. 1547-1625), a native of Somerset and graduate of Oxford University (BA 1568, MA 1573), was a cartographer, surveyor, and author of twenty-four volumes of popular devotional writings in addition to his influential works on surveying and topography. According to Richeson, the Surveyor's Dialogue is remembered "because of Norden's clear account of the operation of the court of survey and because of his efforts to reconcile the differences between surveyor and tenant." Written as a series of dialogues between a farmer, a lord of the manor, and a surveyor, Norden's work was meant to educate the landowner and tenant in the usefulness and trustworthiness of his profession. Surveyors were often considered beholden to the interests of the landlords and accordingly distrusted by tenants. The Surveyor's Dialogue proved to be a popular work and was issued in three editions during Norden's lifetime.
