PMM 140. First Elzevir edition, and the second overall, of 'the first example of French prose as we know it today ...

The eighteen letters were originally printed in Paris between 1656 and 1657, with the same fictive imprint as seen here. For textual reasons Willems prefers the second Elzevir edition, which has the same date, but concedes that 'bibliophiles attach a much higher price to the first, which indeed is better executed' ('les bibliophiles attachent beaucoup plus de prix à la première, qui en effet est mieux exéctutée').

* Crinito (Pietro, 1475-1507). Autograph manuscript, probably written in Florence, circa 1478, in Latin with contractions, written in a clear humanist hand on laid paper, a total of 19 lines (approximately 200 words), a few autograph corrections, the passage beginning (in translation), 'It is indeed true and I cannot deny it, that it is worse, according to the teaching of philosophy and of Socratic theory, to cause suffering than to endure it. And so Sallust fell about the renowned lenity of Caesar in sparing criminals and the severity of Cato in punishing defendants: he was wise to write that other authorities...', a little light browning and several letters lost due to ink oxidation but little loss in legibility and generally in very good condition, one page, 8vo (220 x 145mm) (Qty: 1)NOTESProvenance: The leaf was taken by the well-known scholar-printer Wilfrid Merton from Crinito's copy of the Jenson Plutarch, 1478, which contained his signature and many notes, and a fly-leaf from the book accompanies this manuscript. The Bournemouth bookdealer Horace G. Commin offered it for sale in List 41 (item 145), circa 1958, when it was purchased by Professor Cecil H. Clough (1930-2017), sometime Reader in Medieval History, University of Liverpool, for £25. A copy of the catalogue and a few leaves of rough research notes, transcription and partial translation are included. P. O. Kristeller, Iter Italicum, vol. IV, p. 34. An exceedingly rare Renaissance autograph, no other material in the autograph of Crinito has been located. Pietro Crinito, known as Crinitus, or Pietro Del Riccio Baldi, was a Florentine humanist scholar and poet who was a disciple of Poliziano. He is best known for his 1504 commonplace book, De honesta disciplina , taken to be a source for the work of Nostradamus. The manuscript is either a personal letter to a fellow humanist or an intended prefatory epistle to a published work. It does not appear in either of Crinito's published works, the De poetis Latinis or the De honesta disciplina , but this professor of belles lettres at Florence, who was for a time tutor to the younger Medici, must have written a great deal more than these fairly slight works.

Thomas Bruce, the seventh Earl of Elgin, became British Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire in Constantinople in 1799, from where he obtained accurate drawings and casts of the best monuments of Grecian art. In 1801 he negotiated with the Turks, who then controlled Athens, to remove statues from the Parthenon and transport them back to England. Despite three years' imprisonment in France on the orders of Napoleon (who also attempted to acquire the collection from him), Lord Elgin eventually returned to England, where the collection was purchased by Parliament in 1815 and displayed in the British Museum.

R. Griggs], photo-chromolithographic colour printed copy of the known world on two conjoined sheets, some light staining, 580 x 1390 mm, framed and glazed (Qty: 1)NOTESA scarce later copy of the Propaganda or Second Borgian map, now in the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana, Vatican City. Diego Ribero was regarded as the finest cartographer of his day and this magnificent map was produced for the kings of Spain and Portugal. The translation of some of the notes on the map reveal its imperial and economic nature. For example on the coast of Greenland is a note stating 'The English discovered this country. It produces nothing of any value. It was discovered by the English from the city of Bristol.' - a nod to the voyage of John Cabot - and on Newfoundland it states 'The land of cod fish discovered by the Corte Reals and where they were lost. Up to this time nothing of value has been found there, except the fishing of codfish, and these do not amount to much'. These comments and the sometimes spurious accreditation of discoveries to Spanish and Portuguese explorers gave rise to the map being referred to as 'The Propaganda Map'.
