Romanus Adrianus (16 results)

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION, AND A VERY APPEALING COPY WITH THE WOODCUTS HERE FINELY COLOURED, OF THE FAMOUS FLEMISH PHYSICIAN AND MATHEMATICIAN S LATIN TOWN BOOK. Whilst the woodcuts are largely identical to Abraham Saur s German version, but with some omitted or added, this Parvum theatrum urbium is not a Latin edition of the German work published by the same printer in German language. The author of the small town book had died in 1593 and was not available for a Latin edition [and] so the publisher secured A. Romanus from Wurzburg as the author of a Latin text (translated from Fauser). Completely independent from Saur s, van Roomen s text is entirely new, displaying a very different and more succinct approach in his rendition of this geographical work, much reflecting his scientific education and orientation. The work includes 67 European woodcut city views and plans including cuts showing London, Lisbon, Louvain, Antwerp, Brussels, Rouen, Ghent, Lyon, Bordeaux, Paris, Frankfurt, Mainz, Aachen, Heidelberg, Hamburg, Bremen, Hannover, Fulda, Wittenberg, Magdeburg, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Tubingen, Dresden, Worms, Leipzig, Erfurt, Jena, Lubeck, Brunswick, Strasburg, Basel, Geneva, Riga, Rome, Venice, Genova, Prague, Vienna, and Riga, as well as Constantinople, Jerusalem and the tower of Babylon (the final illustration contained). All are in fine colouring, employing red, various shades of green, as well as yellow, purple, and brown, with some delicate and carefully applied heightening in gum Arabic. The work s unillustrated part provides notes on various parts and cities of Russia, Armenia, Assyria, Serbia, Georgia, Albania, Syria, Palestine, Arabia, Persia, Bactria, Afghanistan, Malabar, Ceylon, India, Siam, Cambodia, Korea, China, and Japan, as well as on Java, Sumatra, Borneo, the Moluccas, Japan, and Turkestan. The final pages contain brief descriptions of Florida, New-France, New-Spain, Nova Galicia, Yucatan, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, etc. (Sabin 73000). Adrian van Roomen studied mathematics and medicine in Germany and Italy (he met Christoph Clavius at Rome in 1585, and dedicated his Idea mathematica pars prima, Louvain, 1593, to him). While at Louvain he published the first part of a general work on mathematics and in this he gave the value of pi to seventeen decimal places, an unusual achievement at the time (Smith, History of Mathematics I p. 340). In the same year he obtained a professorship of medicine at Würzburg and subsequently was employed as mathematician of the chapter there. He then went to Prague, was honoured by the Emperor Rudolff II, and travelled to France, where he met Viète. Provenance: early Dutch inscription to title page ( Cornely Deyn (?) Aemstelredamensis ), and a later inscription to front free end-paper. VD 16 R 3024; Adams R 694; Fauser LXIV.

4to. (8), 365 [but: 371], (25) pp. Title page printed in red and black. With 67 half-page woodcuts in the text (mostly views of cities) and woodcut printer's device. Contemporary vellum with multiple gilt and blindstamped cover fillets, large gilt lozenge-shaped central compartment with heraldic supralibros bearing the legend "Nicolaus Haunolt Sac[rae] Caes[aris] M[ajesta]tis [.] Secretarius". Corner fleurons; spine sparsely gilt. First edition; reprinted without changes in 1608. "Contains descriptions of Florida, New-France, New-Spain, Nova Galicia, Yucatan, Cuba, Brazil, Peru, etc." (Sabin). Also with views of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Genoa, London, Rostock, Rome, Vienna, Prague, Riga, Zurich, Genf, Bremen, Dresden, Geneva, Lubeck, Cologne, Leipzig, Mainz, Marburg, Munich, Nuremberg, Strasbourg, Trier, Ulm, Venice, Wittenberg and many others. - From the library and with the bookplate of Nicolaus Haunolt, whose biography can be traced up to the year 1586 (cf. Yerasimos, Stephane. Les voyageurs dans l'Empire Ottoman (XIVe-XVIe siécles). Ankara 1991. In: Turkish Biographical Archive G 18, 68). However, other books from the Imperial secretary's library printed as late as 1597 could be established in public and private collections. - Slightly browned throughout; last f. has small section cut out (no loss to text). Title page with ms. ownership of the Piarists' school in Tata near Györ (dated 1767). Very pretty and well-preserved copy in a decorative contemporary binding with interesting provenance. - VD 16, R 3024. Adams R 694. Bachmann 14. Muller 1376. Sabin 73000. Alden 595.
