Aeloude en hedendaegsche scheeps-bouw en bestier: Waer in wijtloopigh wert verhandelt, de wijze van Scheeps-timmeren, by Grieken en Romeynen, Scheeps-oeffeningen, Strijden, Tucht, Straffe, Wetten en gewoonten. Beneffens evenmatige grootheden van schepen onzes tijts, ontleet in alle hare deelen (...). (With) Appendix. Amst., C. Cunradus, 1671. 2 parts in 1 vol. (14), 516; 40, (4) pp. W. engr. front. by R. de Hooghe & 112 - for the greater part full-p. (1 fold.) - engr. plates after N. Witsen. Fol. Cont. blind tooled vellum, spine raised in compartments. (Spine skillfully rep., new leather ties, upper fly leaf lacks, small hole in blank margin front., sl. browned/foxed in a few places). NOTE: Extremely rare real first edition of this work, with title-page printed in black with the address of the printer (Chr. Cunradus). It is illustrated with precise and detailed plates which were executed after drawings by Witsen himself. The plates are unnumbered in this edition! Only 1 other 'proof' copy with this imprint is found in NCC (University Library of Amsterdam). The number of plates of this work differ (Landwehr also has 112 plates). This work on ship building quickly became the standard work on the subject. It made Nicolaes Witsen (1641-1717), who was mayor of Amsterdam thirteen times and administrator of the VOC, come in to contact with Czar Peter the Great on modernising the Imperial Russian Navy, then backward by Western European standards. His contact with the Czar led to an order for warships from Amsterdam shipyards. In 1697 Witsen organised a four-month training period for the Czar at the Dutch East India Company shipyards. - Cf.

Vigerius joined the Franciscan order while his great uncle, the future Pope Sixtus IV, was general of the order, and it was to Sixtus IV that he owed his advancement, being made bishop of Senigallia in 1476, governor of Castel Sant'Angelo, and a cardinal in 1505. Vigerius returned to his studies in 1506, producing the Decachordum, which he dedicated to his cousin Pope Julius II. - Adams V-746; EDIT 16 CNCE 32811.
