48. Britton [Wingate, Edmund]. Britton. The Second Edition. Faithfully Corrected according to Divers Ancient Manuscripts of the same Booke. By Edm. Wingate, Gent. London: Printed by the Assignes of John Moore Esquire, 1640. Octavo. [xxxii], 287 [i.e. 291], i, [xlii]pp. #8, *8, A8-X8, Aa8-Qq8, R8-S8. Leaves numbered irregularly. Woodcut device on title page. Second edition. Contemporary calf. Pollard & Redgrave 3804; Sweet & Maxwell I:52(11); HLC I:239. This work was written about 1290, but somewhat later than Fleta and is attributed to John Britton (or Breton). It is considered the oldest English Law book written in Law French. Like Fleta it is based chiefly on Bracton's De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae. Edmund Wingate superintended a second edition in 1640. He supplied numerous corrections from a better MS., than that used for the '1530' edition, but instead of incorporating them in the text, he reprinted the corrupt form of the earlier edition, except for "manifest false pointing and litterall errors," and added his amendments in an appendix. Notes in English, main text in Law-French. Along with Fleta, Britton is one of two significant law books produced during the reign of Edward I [1272-1307]. It was probably compiled by John le Breton around 1290. The oldest English book in Law-French, it was probably a response to Edward I’s desire to produce a digest of the English law in the spirit of Justinian’s Institutes.

The work is among the earliest printed books with text in Persian. The Historia Christi Persice ("The Life of the Messiah") had been composed in Portuguese and translated into Persian by Xavier, a missionary resident at the court of Akbar, the Mughal emperor of India. "Akbar was delighted with the treatise, and insisted on Aziz Koka reading it aloud to him. That nobleman, who must have hated the task, made the best of a bad business, and asked that a second copy might be prepared for his own use. The actual manuscript presented to Akbar in 1602 is said to be that now in the Bodlean Library" (Smith, V.A., Akbar, The Great Mogul, 1919, p. 291). Louis De Dieu made this translation into Latin and published it in parallel with the Persian text. Gospel paraphrase translated into Persian from

It was consulted as a historical source by Grimmelshausen. For some time the author's name "Gottfried" was thought to be one of the pseudonyms used by the historian Johann Philipp Abelin, the author of early volumes of the "Theatrum Europaeum." “That the 'Chronica' was compiled by J. L. Gottfried (c. 1584 Amberg-1633 Offenbach), the editor of various volumes of de Bry's travels, and not by Abelin, has been proven by F.

First published in 1656, Itinerarium exstaticum is one of Kircher’s most curious works. It is written in the form of a narrative, consisting of two dialogues, in which a certain Theodidactus is caught up in a dream journey and is guided through the heavens by a spirit named Cosmiel. In the first dialogue, Kircher recounts the journey to the moon, which he finds scarred with mountains and craters, contrary to the Aristotelian view. He flies on to Venus, which he discovers is made of the four elements, and so on to each of the other planets and through the region of the fixed stars. In the second dialogue, he deals with the creation of the earth, its position in the universe, its various characteristics and limitations, and finally, its eventual destruction. $3,300 135.

Francis Hall, whose criticisms provoked Boyle into formulating Boyle’s Law), made about 1632 and first published here. The ensuing controversy involved Mersenne, Cardinal Barberini, Rubens and Galileo; this last wrote to Nicolas de Peiresc (May 12, 1635) doubting whether it could really work as claimed.

Some foxing and waterstaining. "Porta's Magiae naturalis, his best known work, was first published in four books in 1558, and then in an expanded twenty-book version in 1589. The treatise epitomizes the combination of credulity and empiricism typical of the late Renaissance: uncritical reports of the marvelous and miraculous and holdovers from medieval books of secrets are mixed with attempts to define natural magic and to apply mathematical and experimental techniques to science. In this latter category fall Porta's investigations of the magnet, agriculture, animal breeding, and most especially his contributions to the study of optics. Although he did not, as he claimed, anticipate Galileo in the invention of the telescope, Porta was the first to add a concave lens to the aperture of the camera obscura, and his comparison of the camera lens to the pupil of the eye provided an easily understood demonstration that the source of visual images lay outside the eye, thus ending a centuries-old controversy." $8,900 190.

Brunet V, 666; Graesse VII, 33; Ebert IV, 1827. Questa edizione parigina del 1644 è adorna, di per sé, soltanto del frontespizio, delle testate, dei capilettera e dei finali; si trovano però alcuni rari esemplari, come il nostro, che sono arricchiti delle incisioni "grandi" del Tempesta (da non confondersi con le piccole, già apparse in precedenti edizioni tassiane) che compaiono in questa occasione per la prima volta e non, come sovente si dice sulla affermazione del Guidi (38), nell'edizione di Urbino del 1735. Inoltre, a differenza di quanto si riscontra in quella, tutte le tavole che adornano la presente edizione sono senza il testo al verso ed in ottima morsura. Guidi, 25, dà invece notizia di alcuni esemplari accompagnati dalle incisioni del Castello: "La bellezza di questa edizione ha indotto diversi curiosi a sacrificare degli esemplari dell'edizione di Genova del 1590, levando da questa le figure per unirle all'edizione parigina...". Racc. Tass. A. Mai, 215: "Questa senza dubbio è la più bella e la più nobile edizione che si abbia di questo celebratissimo poema". Brunet V, 666. Choix, 18730. $14,000

TWO MORE WORKS ILLUSTRATED BY TEMPESTA 232A. Tasso, Torquato. Gierusaleme Liberata. n.p.: n.p., 1600(?) [1617 - 1625]. Oblong quarto. With an etched dedication leaf to Prince Barberini, and 20 etched plates, all by Antonio Tempesta. The Illustrated Bartsch, vol. 37, pp. 91-111, Nos. 1208-1227(177). BM's dedication leaf measures 142 X 182, the other plates measure 128 X 182. Upper and lower margins measure 14mm. Tempesta created three different series of prints to illustrate Tasso's Gerusalemme liberata (ca. 1620-1627). This set of twenty is one of them. By the seventeenth century, the iconographic possibilities for Tasso had become pretty well settled. Apparently numbers 1228-1247 in the list of his works in Nagler's Ku nstler-Lexicon.

David Bush, burgess, died 24 April 1609, St. Mary-le-Port Parish, Bristol, Gloucester; married 19 October 1567, Westbury-on-Trym, Gloucester, to Joan Lathbury (died 23 February 1611, St. Mary-le-Port Parish, Bristol. One of their children was George Bush, christened 15 July 1580; his wife's name is unknown. They had one child: Alice Bush, christened 22 January 1611. 4.Alice Bush, born say 1588, married Peter Muggleworth Sr. on 1 May 1608. He died in 1656 in Bristol. Bristol Staple Court records indicate that Peter Muggleworth was a butcher. His name also appears as the St. Mary-le-Port churchwarden as of 1649. In 1651 Peter Muggleworth was among nearly 400 freemen of Bristol who protested Ralph Farmer and John Knight's attempts to consolidate and assess the city's parishes on behalf of the Presbyterian clergy - a pound rate on all houses and premises. One of their children was Peter Muggleworth Jr., christened 3 July 1611. He married Grace Barwick on 4 February 1638. On 22 August 1656 he was granted administration of the estate of his father, Peter Muggleworth Sr. One of his children was Peter Muggleworth III, whose christening was outside of St. Mary-le-Port Parish. He was almost certainly the son of Peter and Grace, as he was referred to as Peter Muggleworth Jr. He married Hannah Gibbes in Bristol on 21 February 1671. She was a daughter of Henry Gibbes, Sheriff of Bristol, and Jane Meredith. Peter, a soap maker, made his last will and testament in Bristol on 12 June 1702, leaving bequests to his wife (not named), sons Henry and Peter, sister Alice Hind, and his wife's relatives. He lived in the same parish (Christ Church) as his Pyland relatives, but his will requested burial beside his father in the St. Mary-le-Port churchyard. One of the last two Peter Mugleworths is the likely owner of this manuscript, which puts the origin of this document in or near Bristol (taken from on-line entry - From FreeReg.org: a John Weekes, from Thornbury, Gloucestershire, married an Eleanor Thurston on 4 July 1681.
