A rare Meissen turquoise-ground barrel on a figural stand, circa 1735-40The barrel reserved with moulded, gilt-edged staves, the ground colour reserved with gilt-edged quatrelobe cartouches painted in polychrome enamels, and puce and iron-red camaieu with Kauffahrtei scenes of merchants and their wares by a quayside around the square aperture at the top, each end painted with a large circular polychrome scene within a band of gilt scrollwork, the front with a small aperture mounted with a gilt-metal tap with dolphin spout and finial, the rims edged in gilding and green, respectively, the tripod stand modelled by J.J. Kaendler of three gilt-edged scroll feet, each applied with a classical figure, the front moulded with a gilt-edged cartouche painted with a chinoiserie scene, the sides with larger chinoiserie vignettes, 30.2cm high overall, crossed swords marks in underglaze-blue (some damage and old restoration to figures on stand) (3)Footnotes:Provenance:Private collection, ItalyThe stand is mentioned in Kaendler's work notes (Arbeitsberichte) of August 1735: 'starkck verzierten Unterlage zum Coffe Fäßgen ... Selbige ruhe auf 3 Sauber gearbeiteten Schnirckeln, da auf jeder eine Fügur sitzet als Weibes und ein Manns Bild auf der Vorder Seite ist ein zierliches Schild befindl' [elaborately decorated stand for the coffee barrel ... it rests on three cleanly finished scrolls, on each of which sits a figure of a woman and one man on the front side there is a delicate shield] (quoted in U.

A Spanish Hispano-Moresque Albarello, circa 1435-50The cylindrical body with a tall neck and slanting shoulder standing on a short footrim, decorated with eight horizontal bands of stylised ivy leaf pattern in blue and copper-lustre, 28cm high, collectors' marks 1242/12 in black to the baseFootnotes:Provenance: Property of The Mary Duke Biddle Trent Semans FoundationComparable examples of this type of albarello are found in the British Museum 1968,0204.1 and in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Cloisters Collection, 1956 (56.171.95). The ivy-leaf pattern is one of the most recognisable patterns in maiolica production in Manises at this time. It was used on a multitude of vessels, including armorial pieces. Much like the Briony motif, this style was particularly popular in Italy. More unusual examples are the drug-jars with this pattern and the arms of Zeeland, almost certainly to be regarded as Valenschenweck imported into Flanders free of duty. As Anthony Ray (2000) describes it, these wares are amongst the masterpieces in ceramic art. Their technical perfection and virtuoso designs must have seemed almost miraculous to contemporaries living in the countries where pottery was still in its infancy. It became a very profitable industry and a vital one for the local economy. Thanks to the dominance of the Kingdom of Aragón the export thrived. The prestige of Valencian lusterwares was such that in 1441 Philip the Good of Burgundy declared that Valenschenweck could be imported into Bruges free of duty. A similar exemption was made in Venice in 1455 for laura da maiorca e da Valenca. Vessels with ivy-leaf decoration appear in paintings, the best known being the drug jar in the Annunciation (or Portinari Altarpiece) by Hugo van der Goes, now in the Uffizi, painted in 1482, and the drug-jar and flower vase in Ghirlandaio's Birth of St John the Baptist (1486-90) in Santa Maria Novella, Florence.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: ** VAT on imported items at a preferential rate of 5% on Hammer Price and the prevailing rate on Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

A Meissen group of 'The Ardent Lover', circa 1745, later decoratedModelled by J.J. Kaendler, with a young man dressed in blue jacket and black breeches, his empty pocket showing, kneeling before his lover, she dressed in a yellow cape with oriental flowers, turning away her head, a putto on his shoulder and harlequin behind them both laughing at the man, the cupid pulling the man's hair and raising his bow, the porcelain circa 1745, the decoration later 19cm high, (cracked through the base, losses to extremities, her right hand and right foot missing)Footnotes:Provenance: European Private Collection This group is recorded in Känder's Taxa: '1 dergl. (Groupgen) aus 4 Figuren bestehend, da eine Schäfferin auf Rasen sitz, zu der sich ein sauber angekleideter Jüngling findet, der sie lieben will, die sich aber weigert, auf dem Jüngling is Cupido, der ihn bey den Harren hält und ihn seinem Bogen auf den Kopff prügelt, dabey ein Arelquin stehet, und den Jüngling auslacht [1 similar (group) made up of 4 figures, a shepherdess seated on the grass, next to her a well-dressed young man courting her, she refusing him, on the shoulder of the young man Cupid pulling his hair and hitting his head with his bow, harlequin standing next to the young man laughing at him]' Meredith Chilton, Harlequin Unmasked (2001), p. 306, illustrates two versions of the group and suggests a modelling date of 1743. Other versions of the group exist with the addition of either a dog or a sheep on the base, and with the absence of both Cupid and Harlequin.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

STEINER RUDOLF: (1861-1925) Austrian Philosopher & Social Reformer. A rare A.Q.S., Rudolf Steiner, on a small 8vo page removed from an autograph album, Goetheanum, Dornach, 7th December 1919, in German. Steiner has penned a proverb comprising thirteen lines, in full, 'In Urzeit Tagen / Trat zum Geist des Himmels / Der Geist des Erdenseins / Bittend sprach er: / Ich weiss zu reden / Mit dem Menschengeist; / Doch um jene Sprache auch / Flehe ich, / Durch die zu reden weiss / Das Weltenherz zum Menschenherzen. / Da schenkte der güt'ge Himmelsgeist / Dem bittenden Erdengeist: / DieKunst'. Signed by Steiner to the right edge of the page. A few slight tape stains to the right edge, close to, but not affecting the signature and just touching part of the place. G Steiner's proverb, signed at the world centre for the anthroposophical movement in Switzerland, a building which he designed and named after Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, is loosely translated as follows - 'In prehistoric days / came to the spirit of heaven / the spirit of being on earth / he asked pleadingly: / I know how to speak / with the human spirit; / But around that language too / I implore / Through whom knows how to speak / The world heart to the human heart. / Then the benevolent heavenly spirit gave / The earthly spirit asking: / Art'.

An edition of the greatest rarity, and a monumental achievement of geographical knowledge and a cornerstone of the European tradition. The Latin Ptolemy of 1475 was issued from the printing house established in Vicenza by the German printer Hermann Liechtenstein, also known by his surname 'Leuilapis'. A native of Cologne, he began his career as a printer in Vicenza, publishing the undated Historiae by Orosius in 1475, as well as the first edition of Ptolemy, completed on 13 September. Ptolemy's Geographia is one of the first books ever printed in Vicenza, where printing was first introduced in the spring of 1474 by Leonardus Achates de Basilea. The present work, divided into eight books, was produced by Ptolemy in the second century AD and describes the known inhabited world (or oikoumene), divided into three continents: Europe, Libye (or Africa), and Asia. Book i provides details for drawing a world map with two different projections (one with linear and the other with curved meridians), while Books ii-vii list the longitude and latitude of some 8,000 locations, Book vii concludes with instructions for a perspectival representation of a globe. In Book viii Ptolemy breaks down the world map into twenty-six smaller areas and provides useful descriptions for cartographers. The work was brought to Italy from Constantinople around 1400, and its translation into Latin was made by Jacopo Angeli (or Angelo da Scarperia) in Florence between 1406 and 1409. He was a pupil of Manuel Chrysoloras (ca. 1350-1415), the exiled Byzanthine scholar who had possibly begun the translation himself, on the basis of a hitherto unidentified Greek manuscript. Angelo's translation is mainly based on a composite text deriving from two different manuscripts. This volume was edited by Angelus Vadius and Barnabas Picardus and contains only the text of Ptolemy's Geographia. No maps were issued in this first edition of 1475, which were probably not present in the manuscript which served as copy-text, and the only illustrations included are the three diagrams in chapter xxiv of Book i (fols. bb5v, bb6v, and bb7v), showing the 'modus designandi in tabula plana', and that on fol. F3, depicting the Polus antarcticus. The first illustrated edition of Ptolemy appeared in Bologna in 1477, under the title of Cosmographia and supplemented with copperplates drawn and engraved by the famous illuminator Taddeo Crivelli. The Latin edition of this landmark geographical text enjoyed wide and enduring popularity. The editio princeps in Greek appeared in Basel only in 1533, and the circulation of the Latin text throughout Europe in the fifteenth century greatly influenced (both directly and indirectly) the shaping of the modern world. As Angeli writes at the end of his dedication: "Now, I repeat now, let us listen to Ptolemy himself speaking in Latin".

Judith Da Fano (Contemporary) "Tarn Howes", with inscription on a label verso, oil on board, 18 x 25cms, in frame.

A mid 19th century cornelian intaglio-mounted early 20th century gold Neoclassical pendant by Andre Bucher The unsigned intaglio probably by Luigi Pichler (1773-1854), c1805, depicting a standing and youthful Cupid [Eros], with a quiver of arrows by his feet, drinking wine from a bowl held by a reclining Bacchus [Dionysus] who lies on an animal skin-draped couch, holding an amphora and thyrsus, 3.5cm wide The gold Empire-style pendant with oval laurel frame, supported by two stylised ancient Babylonian griffins, their outstretched wings joined, with pierced foliate lower section over a rectangular laurel-chased base, laurel swags hanging from three grotesque masks with three citrine pendants, signed with maker's lozenge to reverse, a fleur-de-lys between initials AB, 7.4cm wide, later fitted case The subject of the intaglio is an allegory of the effect of wine on love. It is a faithful copy of one of four marble reliefs, with subjects taken from Greek mythology by the celebrated Danish sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (1770 - 1844). One marble of this subject is in the Thorvaldsen Museum, Copenhagen. A similar marble is also believed to have been in the collection of Lord Norton at Hams Hall, Warwickshire. It is described in the 1909 biography of Lord Norton as one of four commissioned works by Thorvaldsen, all of which have been lost to history. Luigi Pichler (1773-1854), was a descendent of the celebrated family of German-Italian gem engravers and studied under his elder half brother, the esteemed Giovanni Pichler (1734 - 1791). In the latter part of the 18th century Luigi travelled to Austria where he attracted wide foreign patronage and was presented to Emperor Francis I in Vienna in 1808. In 1818 he was appointed Professor of Gem Engraving at Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Vienna, a post he held until 1850 before retiring to Rome. He also copied various other subjects from the work of Bertel Thorvaldsen, of which plaster casts can be seen in the Harvard Art Museum collection. See object numbers 1910.12.1.27, 1910.12.1.71 and 1910.12.1.100. A plaster cast of a similar gem was taken by the Italian painter and engraver Pietro Paoletti. See 'Catalogo di num. 120 Impronte instucco... etc', ref no. 117 'amore disetato da Bacco' (Love quenched by Bacchus).

Four cuttings from the Choirbook of King Manuel I of Portugal, from the border of an illuminated manuscript on parchment[Portugal (probably Lisbon), c. 1520] Four rectangular cuttings from the border of a large manuscript leaf, three with panels of portly strawberries, realistic stylised periwinkles, cornflowers, iris and a daisy, and caterpillars, a wasp and a ladybird, on a dull gold ground and within brown frames heightened with liquid gold to look like realistic carved wooden frames, and the other cut from the centre of the bas-de-page and with the Portuguese royal arms (with eight gold castles) beneath a gold crown and on a green and bushy landscape, framed within a grey-blue wreath and gold acanthus leaf sprays, this supported by two putti and all on burgundy and blue grounds flecked with gold, reverse with remains of music, some small chips and scuffs, the cutting with the arms cut twice vertically and then repaired, overall good and presentable condition, 150 by 52mm., 258 by 39mm., 203 by 62mm. and 45 by 85mm. Provenance: 1. From a grand Hispanic choirbook illuminated for Manuel I, 'the Great' (1469-1521, king of Portugal 1495-1521), the patron of Vasco da Gama and other explorers: his arms in form found after the emergence of the Livro do Armeiro-Mor in 1509 (with eight castles). Most probably kept in the Portuguese royal chapel.2. These cuttings first emerging with another small cutting with a bird in Sotheby's, 22 June 1999, lot 48. Text:Manuel's opulent court was noted for the prominence of music within it, and was one of the first centres of polyphony in Iberia. Indeed, the only other choirbook known to have been owned by him, apart from the parent manuscript of the present fragments, is a polyphonic choirbook commissioned by Philip 'the Fair' as a gift to Manuel (now Vienna, ÖNB, MS. 1783).  Illumination: The style of illumination here is distinctively that of the southern Netherlands, and Manuel was the principal patron of the artist Antonio de Hollanda (1480-1557), appointing him heraldic officer to the crown in 1518. He worked with Simon Bening on British Library, Add. MS. 12,531 (T. Kren, Renaissance Painting in Manuscripts, 1983, no.9, pp.69-78) and he signed the genealogy of 1534 which was sold in Sotheby's, 5 December 1989, lot 103. "Hollanda illuminated breviaries, psalters, altar books and choirbooks ... He was alive in 1553, when his son Francisco wrote about him to Michelangelo" (Kren, p. 76, citing J. Segurado, Francisco d'Ollanda, 1970, pp. 142 and 504-06; see also S. Deswarte, Les Enluminures de la 'Leitura Nova', 1504-1552, Etude sur la culture artistique au Portugal au temps de l'humanisme, 1977). These cuttings may well be the work of that artist or his workshop. 

Ɵ Giovanni da Capestrano, Collection of legal opinions in defence of the Franciscan Order Minor and the penitent sisters of the Third Order of St. Francis, in Latin, manuscript on paper[Italy (perhaps Milan), second half of the fifteenth century] 13 leaves, complete, collation impractical, but in 2 units of 10+3 leaves, single column of approximately 54 lines in a series of late gothic secretarial hands, description of contents in sixteenth-century Italian at head of first leaf, some marginalia and lining through, small spots and marks, splits to edges of a few leaves, else good condition, 290 by 220mm.; contemporary limp parchment binding with flap, small amount of rodent damage at foot, eighteenth-century inscription on front (ink of this mostly fallen away with impressions on surface only remaining)This small codex brings together the legal councils (consilia) of some important medieval notaries and lawyers, at the request of Giovanni da Capestrano (1386-1456), in defence of the Franciscan Order Minor and Third Order of Franciscan nuns. They include in the order copied here, the consilium of Catone Sacco (fols. 1r-3r), the consilium of Luchinus de Curte (fols. 3v-4r), the consilium of Bartholomeus de Baratheriis (fol. 4r), the consilium of Lucius de Vernatiis da Cremona (fols. 4v-5r), the consilium of Franciscus de Folengis (fol. 5r), the consilium of Augustinus de Martariis de Castro Novo (fols. 5rv), the consilium of Bertoldus Helmici di Colonia (fols. 6r-9v), and the names of four lawyers without legal comment (perhaps intended to be filled in later, but not completed). This is followed by a series of papal concessions to the orders, namely the Privilegium confirmationis et approbationis regule supradicte et occasione status fratrum de penitentia predictorum (fols. 11rv), the Privilegium pro prelatis et ecclesiasticis vel secularibus quorumcumque ordinis condictionis occasionis collectarum vel talliarum decime viciesime non solvende (fols. 11v-12v), the Privilegium status fratrum et sororum de penitentia (fols. 12v-13v), and the attestation of Giovanni di Tommaso of Riccardo d'Assisi for these privileges. The Franciscan Order was founded in 1209 as a monastic movement based on poverty and humility. Its founder, St. Francis of Assisi died in 1226, and the movement quickly descending into factional fighting over the strictness of their ideals of poverty and abstinence. In the second decade of the fourteenth century the Pope weighed in on their squabbles, with unyielding and ascetic members of the Order committed to the Inquisition and four of their number burnt for heresy. At the time the present documents were brought together, the Order was beginning to fracture into several sects, such as the Fraticelli, who drew the attention of the Pope and the anti-pope alike as heretics. This collection was doubtless put together to lobby for the protection of the traditional members of the Order in such confusing times. The division carried on throughout the fifteenth century and into the early sixteenth century, necessitating the present copy.
