Includes 2 page map of the world by Ortelius 1587, showing Van Noort's route. [Excerpt from Foreword] Olivier Van Noort ranks among the founders of the Dutch East Indian Empire, and the letter he wrote in September 1601 is considered a cornerstone to the subsequent books, pamphlets, and manuscripts relating to the Dutch East Indies in the Bell Collection. In asking Professor Broek to bring the letter into the English language and to enlarge upon the events which prompted Van Noort to write it, we hope to call attention to a significant voyage at the beginning of an era of major importance in the history of East Indian commerce. Professor Broek has maintained the flavor of the early seventeenth-century Dutch language in his translation, and his commentary reveals much about the position of the United Netherlands at that time. In an attempt to permit the reader to see the geography of the world as Van Noort and his compatriots saw it, we include two maps in this publication. The covers are an adaptation of the map of southern South America found in Van Noort?s Description du penible voyage, Amsterdam, 1602, a recent acquisition to the Bell Collection. This map portrays the passage of Van Noort?s fleet through the Straits of Magellan. On pages 6 and 7 Van Noort?s route is traced upon a reproduction of Abraham Ortelius? Typus orbis terrarum. The original is in the Bell Collection copy of Theatrum orbis terrarum, London, 1606.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 2004 Brill hardcover edition. Light reading wear else very good condition. From the cover: This volume discusses the narrative of the creation of heaven, earth and light in the first chapter of Genesis and focuses extensively on its later interpretations in different cultural and religious contexts. After an introductory paper on the text of Genesis itself, the authors deal with receptions of this theme in the Prophet Jeremiah, Early Judaism, and the Dead Sea Scrolls. They comment on creation accounts in the Ancient Near East, Ancient Greece and ancient philosophy, reconstructing the earliest known receptions of Genesis 1 in ancient philosophers like Numenius and Galen. They trace its influence in the Johannine, Petrine and Pauline traditions of Early Christianity, and follow it right through the Middle Ages up till the present-day discussion of design in Nature.

Leiden, C. C. van der Hoek [1830-ca. 1844]. 4to (26.6 x 21.6 cm). [iv], 4, 80 pp.; 80 (of perhaps 85) fine lithographic plates, finely coloured by hand, and each with accompanying letterpress text leaves. Contemporary black polished half morocco over marbled boards, spine rich gilt. Marbled endpapers. = This is truly a mysterious book, much rarer and better illustrated than the well-known work of Knoop, and unrecorded by many bibliographies [e.g. Pritzel, Cat. BM(NH)]. The illustrations are more like original watercolours as only the outlines and shading of each fruit are - extremely lightly - printed, and the illustrations in different copies are similar, but nowhere near identical. The title translates as follows: "Dutch pomology or illustrations and descriptions of distinct species of apples and pears which are cultivated in the Dutch regions. All drawn in colour and described after nature". The foreword is signed by the author, Matthieu van Noort, and dated 22 December 1830. Van Noort (1768-1844), who studied law and was apparently a wealthy man, became known as a versatile and skilled artist, working as a painter, etcher, and sculptor. We could trace only two copies of his Pomologia on the market during the last 50 years, each varying in the number of plates. Landwehr calls for 84 plates. Our copy is without the last five plates mentioned by Landwehr but with an additional plate - "Dirkjes-Peer" - not mentioned by Landwehr. Nissen calls for 173 plates, but this must be an error. According to van der Aa, Van Noort worked on the Pomologia from 1830, when he was 62, until his death 14 years later. 21 instalments were completed. Assuming that each instalment consisted of four plates (backed up by the fact that the order in which each group of four plates are present is the same in our copy and the Landwehr collation, disregarding our plate 64 which is not in Landwehr, and because there are alternatingly four apples - four pears), the maximum number of published plates at the time of van Noort's death was probably 80 or 84. The last instalments were not completed due to lack of funds and consisted of an undisclosed number of plates. Their whereabouts are unknown. We have a single plate of one of those uncompleted instalments. According to van der Aa, several sets of the last instalments were given to B. Wttewaal, professor in rural economics in Leiden, and they may be in the collection of Leiden University or its botanical gardens. In any event, a copy with 80 plates is very rare indeed. The rarity of the work can be explained as follows: according to van der Aa, the plates were not for sale, but donated to friends and perhaps other people who showed interest. This is contrary to the 1830 title page, which states that the work was available at the Leiden book dealer C. C. Van Der Hoek. The foreword of this copy is signed in ink by van Noort. Provenance: the name Helena Leembruggen-Veenenburg handwritten in the top margin of the half-title. A few text leaves slightly age-toned, hinges a bit weak, otherwise a very fine, crisp copy.
