Hardcover. Condition: Fine. An uncommonly fine, complete copy of one of the most popular and extensive encyclopedias of the wonders of nature and science, from angels, demons, and apparitions to human monsters. With excellent provenance bearing the manuscript ownership marks and stamps of the 17th century Museum Faesch in Basel. Two separate quarto volumes. 203 x 163 mm. Volume 1:[28] l., 770 pages signatures: [a]-g4 A-5D4 5E1; Volume 2: [1] l.,pages. 771 - 1583 (index), signatures: E52-4, 5F-5Z4, 6A-6Z4, 7A-7Z4, 8A-8Z4, 9A-9R4. All 57 plates present, 3 double page. Complete with all half-titles, preliminary leaves, errata, and index. Contemporary parchment binding with yapped edges with ms titles to spine in brown ink, with evidence of old ties, slightly scuffed and stained and toned, with all edges stained red; interior nearly flawless with only evidence of old water stain on edge of upper text block mostly to volume 2, but without affecting text, or barely touching it on a few leaves, and slightly visible in only a handful of plates to volume 2; a handful of other early ink smudges or unobtrusive stains to a few leaves, but free of the foxing and oxidization present in virtually all other copies; pages crisp and unwashed. A truly extraordinary copy of a very great book. The Physica Curiosa is the great Baroque encyclopedia of curiosities. Schott was a Jesuit and Athanasius Kircher's assistant in Rome. While he published several works relating to science and natural philosophy, he is perhaps most remembered for publishing the first account of Otto von Guericke's air-pump experiments in 1657. But here he gathers information on angels, demons, apparitions, monstrous births and prodigies of nature into twelve books (below). His plates draw on illustrations and earlier depictions by other notable artists and authors, including Gesner, Rondelet, Paré, Liceti and Aldrovandi. The work became a lasting visual source for later literature on monsters and the marvelous. I. The Wonders of Angels and Demons. II. The Wonders of Spectres. III. The Wonders of Men. IV. The Wonders of Energumens (the Possessed). V. The Wonders of Monsters. VI. The Wonders of Prodigies (or Portents). VII. The Wonders of Animals in General. VIII. The Wonders of Land Animals. IX. The Wonders of Flying Animals. X. The Wonders of Aquatic Animals. XI. The Wonders of Meteors (and celestial phenomena). XII. Miscellaneous Wonders. Museum Faesch provenance Both volumes bear manuscript ownership marks and stamps of the 17th century cabinet of curiosities of Remigius Faesch (1595-1667) in Basel, later known as the Museum Faesch. The contents of the collection, including all the books, passed to the University of Basel in 1823, and duplicates of the books were later sold (library sale stamps present in both volumes here). Faesch was alive when the book was published, so he could have acquired it himself. However, the museum also kept adding to the collection under his heirs, so it's possible it was acquired slightly later. More recently in the library of a prominent Swiss publisher.

Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Jenae [Jena] & Arnstadii [Arnstadt], Leipzig: Litteris Caspari Freyschmidii [Caspar Freyschmidt] for Johannis Bartholom. Oehleri, Bipl., 1661. Quarto (20.5cm); contemporary parchment; [x],1-190,215-1010,10011-10026 [i.e. 1011-1026],301-340,[14],14,[48]pp. (collated, erratically paginated but complete); engraved title page by Paravincius, one foldout of "De notis in manu" ("the notes of the hand"); woodcut palmistry and metoposcopy figures throughout. Manuscript title fading at head of spine with some label residue beneath; chipping with exposure along fore-edge of front board; brief split to vellum at front joint between third and fourth threads; general smudging to surface. Board visible through top corner of front pastedown from likely bookplate removal. Pages toned with mild to moderate foxing and offsetting; a few brief marginal chips not touching text; manuscript pen notes in Latin on rear flyleaf verso. A sweeping compendium of works on chiromancy (palmistry) and metoposcopy (forehead-wrinklery), Ludicrum chiromanticum (The Palmistry Entertainment) collects Praetorius' own scholarship on the subject with other major works by Robert Fludd, Balthasar Summer and Samuel Kelner, Caspar Schott, and Nicolaus Pompeius, complete with numerous diagrams and a fantastic engraved title page by Johann-Baptist Paravicini. Praetorius - Hans Shultze to his friends - was an occasional lecturer and full-time scholar, known as a great compiler of folklore, legend, and superstition. The Brothers Grimm praised his "perspicacious erudition" and called him their "most significant written source," and his Blockes-Berges Verrichtung (1668) on the witches' sabbath at Mount Brocken informed the Walpurgisnacht scenes in Goethe's Faust. Praetorius died during a plague outbreak in Leipzig in 1680. Thirty-ish copies found in OCLC but only a hand's-worth in North America.

10 Bl., 433 S., 7 Bl. Ganzpergamentband der Zeit mit dreiseitigem Blauschnitt. Werk des Würzbueger Jesuiten, Physikers und Mathematikers Caspar Schott (1608 - 1666) über die Physik und Hydrostatik von Quellen und Flüssen. Enthalten sind eine gestochene Titelblattillustration, 12 Kupfertafeln und eine gestochene ausfaltbare Karte. Schott beschreibt darin die Fließeigenschaften von Wasser und untersucht die physikalischen Faktoren, die die Bewegung und Form von Flüssen bestimmen. Darüber hinaus beschreibt der Autor Experimente, die hydrostatische Gesetze aufzeigen und das Verhalten von Wasser in Quellen und Flüssen erklären. Schott wurde 1631 von Würzburg aus, das von heranrückenden schwedischen Truppen bedroht wurde, von seinem Orden nach Palermo geschickt, wo er als Lehrer für Mathematik, Philosophie, Moraltheologie an der dortigen Jesuitenschule tätig wurde.1652 entsandte ihn der Orden nach Rom, wo er die Forschungen des Universalgelehrten Athanasius Kircher (1602 - 1680) unterstützte; der vielseitig gebildete Kirchner beschäftigte sich unter anderem mit Fragen der Ägyptologie, Medizin, Mathematik und Musiktheorie. 1655 kehrte Schott als Professor für Mathematik und Physik in seine Würzburger Heimat zurück. Seine Forschungen zur Mechanik, Pneumatik und Hydrostatik können als als innovativ und bahnbrechen für das mittlere 17. Jahrhundert gelten. Der saubere Ganzpergamentband mit einigen kleinen Kratzern am hinterdeckel; die letzten Blatt am oberen Rand minimal wurmspurig. Sonst sehr gutes, frisches, augenscheinlich ungelesenbes Exemplar. Weitere Fotos auf der Homepage des Antiquariats (bitte Art.-Nr. auf der Angebotsseite in das Suchfeld eingeben). The clean full parchment volumehas a few small scratches on the back cover; the last few pages have minimal worm marks on the upper edge. Otherwise a very good, fresh, apparently unread copy. Very good copy. More photos on the homepage of the Antiquarian (please include item number on the supply side in the search box).…
