2 works published and bound as 1, the second in 3 parts. First issue of the third and best edition of two important works on Egyptian archaeology, the first edition with this title and form, originally published together, written by Lorenzo Pignorius. The first work, a famous study of the Egyptian artefact known as the "Mensa Isiaca" or "Bembine Tablet", devoted to the Egyptian goddess Isis, is the first notable work on Egyptology, first published at Venice in 1605, titled Vetustissimae tabulae Aeneae sacris Egyptiorum simulacris . The Mensa Isiaca was a bronze table top, discovered in the ruins of the temple of Isis in Rome at around 1525 and now believed to have been executed in Rome in the first century CE. Pignorius studied this very famous artefact when it was in the possession of Cardinal Bembo. Pignorius believed that it depicted the sacrificial ceremonies according to the Egyptian rites. The bronze is now in the collection of the Torino Museum.The text of the second work consists of two parts with two separate title pages (on O3r and e1r) plus a divisional title without imprint (i3r). The first part is an essay on the deity Great Mother of Gods by Pignorius (first published in 1623). The second part titled ''Manus Aenae cecropii votum referentis, dilucidatio'', by Jacobus Philippus Tomasinus, contains a description of a small votive statue of a hand. At the end (pp. 63-96) it includes a biography of Lorenzo Pignorius and a description of his museum and library and its contents (including ancient coins and portrait busts of classical figures) by Tomasini.The boards are somewhat scuffed and browned, remnants of ties, the gold-stamped centrepiece remains very clear. The sewing supports have broken and the pastedowns have separated from the inside of the boards, meaning that the bookblock is only connected to the binding through the headband at the top of the spine. Occasional minor browning, a (occasionally large) tear in the gutter margin of the folding plates, the edges of the folding plates are somewhat frayed, two folding plates are loose but still present. Leaf with pp. 7-8 in the second work with a large tear, slightly affecting the text.l Blackmer 1312; Gay 1567; Ibrahim-Hilmy II, 119; STCN 097598674 (9 copies); USTC 1806033 (same as STCN); cf.

(some worming in the gutter of the first part; frontispice slightly frayed; binding slightly soiled; a nice copy; the second folding plate of the Mensa Isciaca is MISSING. Contrary to enthusiasts like Athanasius Kircher in his Oedipus Aegytiacus and Thomas Browne, Pignorius (Lorenzo Pignoria) doubted the Egyptian origin of the Mensa Isiaca and the meaning of the images. According to Ebert (Ebert 16823) this third is the best edition of the Mensia Isiaca , because it is the first to has the folding plates of the bronze Tablet. The publisher Frisius dedicates the first work to Joan Blaeu, the cartographer and printer; the second part 'Magna deum .' he dedicates to the sons, Willem and Petrus Blaeu.
