Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Paris, Christophle Lambin, 1669 (in colophon: 1768). Second enlarged edition. 4to (210 x 152 mm). [VIII], 152 p. Brown sheep, gold tooled. On the covers a borer of a decorative roll. In the centre a lozenge shaped ornament composed of many curly tools. Spine with 5 raised bands. Allcompartments with a central fleuron and curly corner tools. Paste downs with comb marbled paper. End bands of blue and white silk. Edges sprinkled red. 6.500 Second enlarged edition, more interesting than the first because of the survey of prices of pearls and diamonds in chapters XVII and XVIII (p. 130- 138), and the "Suite du chapitre de la perle" (p. 74-90) dealing with South America. Moreover there's a chapter "Contre les chercheurs de la pierre philosophale et souffleurs d'Arquemie". The first chapter attempts to reconcile differing views of various writers, as cited by Berquen, on the origin of gemstones and precious metals, with following chapters taking up the principal gemstones, and some minor ones, as diamond, sapphire, topaz, ruby, spinel, emerald. The chapter on pearl is augmented with an appendix which recounts the history of Spanish conquest in the New World and additionally gives remarks on pearl fisheries, natural history, and production. The chapter on gold and other metals, is also enlarged (p. 111-120) by remarks on the merits of gold and other metals, and by the comments of the celebrated alchemist Nicolas Flamel (d. 1418) on the philosopher's stone and alchemical attempts to transmute metals, but the book is a very sound and sober attack on the believers in transmutation. -Provenance: Name in pen on title page: "De Centrigtizen"?

Expertly bound to style in 18th-century French calf, spine with raised bands, gilt tooled, red morocco lettering piece and 18th century marble endpapers Rare first edition of this rare work on precious stones and pearls found in the East and West Indies, including a section on pearl fishing in the Persian Gulf, complete with the portrait often lacking. "The first chapter attempts to reconcile differing views of various writers, as cited by Berquen, on the origin of gemstones and precious metals, with following chapters taking up the principal gemstones, and some minor stones such as diamond, sapphire, topaz, ruby, spinel, emerald, amethyst, aquamarine, hyacinth, opal, chrysolite, iris, vermeille, garnets, carnelian, turquoise, quartz varieties, pearl, coral and amber are discussed, and lastly, a chapter on gold and silver" (Sinkankas, p. 97f). Dedicated to "La Grande Mademoiselle" Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier and niece of Louis XIII, with her finely engraved portrait by L. Boissevin, This early treatise on the subject includes a chapter dedicated exclusively to pearls: "on pesche les perles en divers endroits du monde. Dans le Golfe Persique, principalement aux environs de l'Isle d'Ormus & Bassora: aupres de Baroyn [i.e., Bahrain], Catiffa, Iuffa, Camaron, & autres lieux de ce Golfe" (p. 74).

Sabin, 4957; Palau, 28.340; Penney, p.59; Goldsmith, 1921; Duveen, 71. One of the most interesting works about precious stones and jewelry. This second edition is more interesting than the first of 1661 because, it is enlarged with a "current price" for diamonds and pearls and with the chapter "contre la fausse Pierre Philosophale et souffleurs d Alquemie" and a "Suite du chapitre de la perle" which relates to South America (Palau II, 194). Robert de Berquen was a goldsmith merchant based in Paris. "In terms of substance, this edition is considerably superior to the first; both are rare" (Sinkankas). Beautiful edition dedicated to the Grande Mademoiselle, Duchess of Montpensier, "sole daughter of Gaston d'Orléans and Marie de Bourbon", born in 1627. It is illustrated with her portrait drawn by Larmessin in 1664 enhanced with her pearls necklace. The unusual presence of a morocco binding on this book, the even rarest one of the fleurs de lys decorating the spine of the volume, the heart pierced with an arrow in the center of the covers responding to the dedication where the author begs Mademoiselle to consider the rarity of things contained in this book and "le c?ur de celuy qui la luy présente"?, the autograph signature of the Police Lieutenant of Louis XIV, Nicolas Gabriel de La Reynie, allow us to consider this copy as a Present of the author to the Grande Mademoiselle. Provenances: La Grande Mademoiselle, Duchess of Montpensier, born in 1627; Gabriel de La Reynie, first General Lieutenant of Police of Paris (1625-1709) and Madam the Duchess of Vendome.

4to. (8), 152 pp. With engraved portrait frontispiece of Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans and numerous pretty woodcut initials and tailpieces. Contemporary richly gilt calf, gilt dentelle central cover decoration showing the Sacred Heart of Jesus, gilt spine on five raised bands (upper spine-end and corners repaired). Marbled pastedowns. Second, enlarged edition of this rare work on precious stones and pearls found in the East and West Indies, written by a Parisian "marchand orphèvre" in Paris and first published in 1661. Both editions are dedicated to "La Grande Mademoiselle" Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier and niece of Louis XIII, with her finely engraved portrait, which is here more delicately executed (by Nicolas de Larmessin, in 1664). The large chapter devoted to pearls and pearl fishing cites the Gulf and several specific places there as among the main locations of pearl fishing: "on pesche les perles en divers endroits du monde. Dans le Golfe Persique, principalement aux environs de l'Isle d'Ormus & Bassora: aupres de Baroyn [i.e., Bahrain], Catiffa, Iuffa, Camaron, & autres lieux de ce Golfe [.]" (p. 68). This chapter is here "augmented with an appendix which recounts the history of the Spanish conquest in the New World and additionally gives remarks on pearl fisheries, natural history, and production [.] New chapters comprise Ch. 17, on the pricing of diamonds according to size and quality, and Ch. 18 on pricing of pearls. In tems of substance, this edition [the second one, here offered] is considerably superior to the first; both are rare" (Sinkankas p. 97f.). It is these new, additional chapters in particular for which this second edition is sought after: "Du prix des Diamans" and "Du prix des Perles", as well as one entitled "Raisons contre les chercheurs de la Pierre Philosophale & souffleurs d'Alquemie. Et ne sera pas mal à propos de parler de Nicolas Flamel sur ce sujet". - Lower spine-end and corners somewhat bumped, otherwise fine. A good copy in an appealingly decorated contemporary French binding. - Sinkankas 593. Duveen 71. Sabin 4957. Brunet VI, 4780. Graesse I, 348.

4to. (12), 112 pp. With engraved portrait frontispiece of Anne Marie Louise d'Orleans and numerous pretty woodcut initials and tailpieces. Contemporary richly gilt calf, leading edges and spine gilt (tiny defect to upper spine-end and hinge). Marbled pastedowns. First edition of this rare work on precious stones and pearls found in the East and West Indies, written by a Parisian "marchand orphèvre". Dedicated to "La Grande Mademoiselle" Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier and niece of Louis XIII, with her finely engraved portrait by L. Boissevin (which, according to Graesse, is frequently lacking). This "very early, and important treatise on gemstones, gold & silver" (Sinkankas) includes a chapter dedicated exclusively to pearls, a subject with which the author was especially familiar (cf. ibid.), and the Gulf is stated as one of the main locations of pearl fishing: "on pesche les perles en divers endroits du monde. Dans le Golfe Persique, principalement aux environs de l'Isle d'Ormus & Bassora: aupres de Baroyn [i.e., Bahrain], Catiffa, Iuffa, Camaron, & autres lieux de ce Golfe [.]" (p. 74). "The first chapter attempts to reconcile differing views of various writers, as cited by Berquen, on the origin of gemstones and precious metals, with following chapters taking up the principal gemstones, and some minor ones, as diamond, sapphire, topaz, ruby, spinel, emerald, amethyst, aquamarine, hyacinth, opal, chrysolite, iris, vermeille, garnets, carnelian, turquoise, quartz varieties, pearl, coral and amber, and lastly, a chapter on gold and silver [.] Both [the first and the second edition] are rare" (Sinkankas, p. 97f.). - Insignificant waterstain and occasional slight worming, mainly confined to upper margin.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Bon. [6]-152 pp. Paris, Imprimerie de Christophle Lambin, 1669, in-4, [6]-152 pp, bradel de vélin souple moderne, titre manuscrit en long, Rarissime seconde édition augmentée des chapitres sur le prix de l'or et des diamants ainsi que les Raisons contre les chercheurs de la Pierre Philosophale. Important traité sur les perles et les pierres précieuses, leur nature, leur dureté et leur couleur. Il est l'oeuvre de Robert de Berquen (ou Berken), marchand orfèvre à Paris et descendant du célèbre Louis de Berquen (ou Lodewyk van Berken) considéré comme l'inventeur de la taille et du polissage du diamant au moyen d'une meule et de poudre de diamant vers 1479 (ou 1475-1476 selon les sources). L'ouvrage débute sur une série de réflexions de l'auteur relative à l'origine des pierres précieuses, qu'elle soit divine, mythique, géographique ou alchimique. Il en fait de même au sujet des perles, du corail, de l'ambre puis de l'or et de l'argent. Homme pratique et commerçant, il donne plusieurs renseignements sur le prix des perles et pierres précieuses ainsi que les équivalences de mesure de l'or et de l'argent en France et en Europe. Enfin, homme de corporation, il clôt son ouvrage sur un "Advis aux apprentis orfèvres" dans lequel il insiste sur l'importance "à bien portraire", soit bien dessiner et ébaucher des modèles en cire ou terre avant de s'attaquer aux matériaux précieux. Le plus curieux des chapitres est sans doute celui relatif à Nicolas Flamel et l'alchimie. Dans celui-ci, il explique que l'homme était un homme de bonne réputation et qu'il faisait régulièrement les comptes des marchands juifs. Ceux-ci, sur le point d'être exilés hors de France suite à l'ordonnance de Charles VI, lui confièrent les richesses qu'ils ne purent emmener avec eux en attendant des jours meilleurs. Lorsqu'il fut clair que tout retour était impossible, il s'en accapara. Flamel s'enticha par la suite d'alchimie et de Pierre philosophale. Il s'en servit pour justifier sa richesse mal acquise en disant qu'il avait réussi à fabriquer de l'or. L'auteur se désole du ravage que causa cette lubie sur de nobles familles françaises et affirme que les métaux proviennent de la nature et non de l'homme. Il se permet une dernière fantaisie en insérant un sonnet de Ronsard puis un second de sa main intitulé "Sonnet à l'orphèvrerie" dans lequel il place cet art au-dessus des meilleures oeuvres de la peinture ou de la sculpture voire de la nature même. Cet exemplaire comporte d'intéressants commentaires manuscrits du XVIIe siècle. Provenance : Boucheron (mention manuscrite en queue du dos). Brunet, VI, 262; Graesse, I, 348; Sabin, Bibliotheca americana, II, 105; De Bure, La Vallière, I, p. 69. Taches d'encre, pâles mouillures et rousseurs, annotations, taches à la reliure, premier f. de l'épître dédicatoire et portrait de Mademoiselle (comme souvent) manquants.

First edition, first issue, of a rare work on precious stones and pearls found in what the title calls the East and West Indies (but including the Gulf region), written by a Paris "marchand orphevre". It is most important for the author's new information on diamonds, pearls and pearl fishing, this last with considerable detail on the various pearl fishing sites in the Gulf. The book is dedicated to Anne Marie Louise d'Orléans, Duchess of Montpensier and first cousin of Louis XIV. The extensive chapter devoted to pearls and pearl fishing notes the Persian Gulf as the most important source and names specific sites: "on pesche les perles en divers endroits du monde. Dans le Golfe Persique, principalement aux environs de l'Isle d'Ormus [= Hormuz] & Bassora [= Basra]: aupres de Baroyn [= Bahrain][,] Catiffa [= Qatif], Juffa [or Jafu?], Camaron [= Gamron/Bandar Abbas], & autres lieux de ce Golfe ." (p. 74). "Very early, and important treatise on gemstones, gold & silver, ." (Sinkankas).With marginal worm holes mostly at the head but slightly affecting the running head or first line of text in a few leaves, occasional marginal water stains, but otherwise in very good condition. Hinge slightly damaged, a few small worm holes and small tears in the spine and a few scrapes and scratches, but otherwise good. First edition of an important work on gems and pearls, especially interesting for pearl fishing in the Gulf, in an attractive French binding.l Alden & Landis 661/14 (7 copies, some possibly 2nd issue); GSabin 4957; Sinkankas 592 note.
