Hardback. Condition: New. This book provides an edited text, introduction, and the first English translation of a central document in the history of religious coercion in late antiquity: Severus of Minorca's Letter on the Conversion of the Jews. The Letter describes the forced conversion of the Jews of Minorca to Christianity in AD 418, allegedly under the influence of St Stephen's relics. Although ostensibly a hagiographical work, the Letter is fundamentally an anti-Jewish document, and therein lies its interest for historians. It offers a fascinating perspective on Jewish-Christian relations in a Mediterranean town, and on the motives for religious intolerance in the unsettled ages of the Germanic invasions. In addition, its wealth of information about a diaspora Jewish community in the western empire makes it unique among the surviving sources.

0. Prachtvolles, großformatiges Blatt. - Am Rand etwas fleckig. Sprache: Deutschu.

Very good. Light, even toning. Marginal mend well away from printed image. Else excellent with original outline color. Size 15.25 x 20 Inches. This is Hendrick Doncker's rare c. 1669 chart of the Balearic Islands, portraying the islands of Majorca, Minorca, and Ibiza (Ibiça). The chart includes part of the Mediterranean coast of Spain, from C. St. Martin on the coast of Valencia to the Cap de Creus on the coast of Catalonia. A Closer Look The chart is oriented to the northwest. (An apparent aesthetic choice, allowing the presentation of the coastline and primary islands more or less in line horizontally.) Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are presented in outline, as are the smaller islands of Cabrera, Dragonera, and Monte Colibre - the Columbretes Islands. The coast of Valencia and Catalonia dominates the top part of the chart. All coastlines are delineated in pictorial coastal profiles; the sea is presented in the manner of a chart, with an attractive compass rose and rhumb lines. The chart includes depth soundings and anchorages on several points of each of the islands, and along the Spanish coast. At the upper right, the Gulf of Roses appears, with depth soundings and an anchorage. The State of the Art The Balearic Island maps of Blaeu and Jansson, and the Sanson of the middle part of the 17th century, had all derived largely from the 1612 mapping of Hessel Gerrritsz; the present chart represents a fascinating departure from that model, not less because the source of the new navigational information appearing here is not clear. The presence of the depth soundings and anchorages strongly suggests a firsthand source providing data to the Amsterdam chartmaker. Publication History and Census This chart was engraved by Hendrick Doncker; the few cataloged examples have been variously dated, the earliest (unsupported) date being 1659. We do not see any examples included in his Zee-Atlas ofte Water-Werelt prior to 1669. We see only two auction records for the chart over the past 40 years, and there are no examples cataloged in OCLC. References: Not in OCLC.

Very good. Faint offsetting and toning, few spots, else a lovely example. Size 15 x 19.5 Inches. This is a beautiful example of Willem Blaeu's 1634 map of Majorca, Minorca, and Ibiza (Ibiça). It is the first folio atlas map dedicated to the Balearic Islands, and the standard for the mapping of the islands in the Dutch Golden Age. A Closer Look Majorca, Minorca, Ibiza, and Formentera are presented in detail, with, to a lesser extent, the smaller islands of Cabrera, Dragonera, and Monte Colibre. The coast of Valencia and Catalonia dominates the west part of the map and the sea is presented in the manner of a chart, with two compass roses and rhumb lines. The topography of the islands and the mainland is depicted pictorially, with mountains and forests in profile. Coastal towns are marked, but the interiors are not detailed. The sea is patrolled by two galleys and a sailing ship and two sea monsters prowl the waters north of Ibiza. Other decorations include an elegant title banner, an attractively engraved scale cartouche, and two coats of arms: the arms of Philip II at the upper left, and those of the Kingdom of Majorca at the upper right. The Source While this is the first map specifically to focus on all three of the main Balearides, it is not the first to show this topography and these placenames. Blaeu's geographical information here is drawn either from Hessel Gerritsz' 1612 four-sheet map of Spain (engraved in 1615 by Pieter van der Keere) or from a manuscript sourced from Gerritsz himself through their mutual connections in the Dutch West India Company. This map served as the standard mapping of the Balearides until the 1683 maps of Mallorcan soldier/scholar Vicente Mut i Armengol (1614 - 1687). Publication History and Census This map was engraved for inclusion in Willem Blaeu's Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, Sive Atlas Novus , appearing first in the 1634 German edition of that work. It remained in Blaeu atlases until the burning of the firm's offices in 1672. The present example conforms typographically with the 1640 Latin edition of the atlas. The map is well represented in institutional collections in its various editions and appears on the market. References: OCLC 551937965. Rumsey 10017.589 (1665). Van der Krogt, P. C.
