François Robichon de la Guérinière (1688-1751), recognized as the founder of the French riding school, began his activity as a squire to the Count d'Armagnac who, in 1715, commissioned him to found an equestrian academy in Paris. From 1730 until his death, with his brother Pierre as a partner, he directed the Académie des Tuilleries, having as patron Prince Charles de Lorraine, chief-squire of King Louis XV. The edition is illustrated with an engraved title, representing the education of Achilles (with the bust of Louis XV in a medallion) and 24 intaglio engravings, three of which are double, 12 full-page (separately) and eight in the text (full page, with text on verso). It also includes three large allusive vignettes (140x235 mm), one at the beginning of each of the three parts of the work, opened in copper plate by the best engravers of the time (Cars, Aveline, Cocart, Audran, Lebas, Beauvais et Desplaces), according to originals by Charles Parrocel and Antoine Coquart. Copy slightly handled, with some imperfections, namely: lower outer corner of the first four leaves with signs of handling and fungus; first double engraving with slight (tidal) stains; occasional smaller stains.

Barbosa Machado considers it “the first sum of Moral that came out in vulgar language in this Kingdom”. The “Compendio”, originally published as “Manual de confessors” in 1549, would have at least six more editions during the 16th century. The present edition includes the guidelines of D.

Por Manuel de Faria y Sousa.- Lisboa Occidental: En la Officina Herreriana, 1731.- [18], 252 p.; 29 cm.

Contiene una relacion de su vida, un catalogo de sus escritos, y un sumario de sus elogios, recogidos de varios autores.- Aora nuevamente acrescentado con un juisio historico que compuzo el Excellentissimo Senhor Don Francisco Xavier de Meneses, Conde de Erizeira.- Lisboa Occidental: en la Officina Ferreiriana, 1733.- [16], 102, [1] p.; 29 cm.- E., Second Portuguese edition, published by Miguel Lopes Ferreira. Father Semedo (1585/86-1658), Jesuit and scientist, spent more than 20 years in China carrying out an in-depth study of local history and ethnography. He has always shown the greatest admiration for Chinese institutions and gives us a clear and concise account of the Chinese religious system. The work was written in Portuguese, but first published in Castilian by Manuel de Faria e Sousa (Madrid, 1642). It consists of three parts: a description of the kingdom, an explanation of its language and letters, and a set of ethnological and evangelical news. At the end, the second edition of the biography of Faria e Sousa, previously published in Madrid, in 1650, is bound. A slightly cropped copy, but very clean, lined in full sheepskin contemporary binding, slightly worn. Palau, 307304. Inocencio, I, p. 50 (with extensive description). Samodães, 1165. Palha, 4195.

Fernão Mendes left for India in 1537, having remained in the East for about 21 years. The “Pilgrimage”, a fantastic account of his troubled adventures, was originally published on the initiative of Friar Belchior Faria, 31 years after his death (1614), from the original manuscript bequeathed by the author to Casa Pia dos Penitentes. Illustrated edition with an allegorical frontispiece (integrated in the first booklet) and 11 copperplate engravings, printed separately, correctly placed, according to the respective pagination. Of these, seven were imported from the Dutch edition of 1652 and four were expressly engraved for the present edition. The 1652 edition also does not include the chapters referring to Saint Francis Xavier, which were not well accepted in the Netherlands, at the time predominantly Calvinist. Paging error from p. 73 (wrongly 75) to the end. Minor marginal restorations on the first six leaves and on leaves Z2, Aa2 and Zz1. Otherwise a slightly cropped but very clean copy.

Miguel Torga (1902-1995) published his first four books under his real name: Ansiedade; (1928), Rampa; (1930), Pão ázimo; (1931) and Abismo; (1931). From his fifth book, O outro livro de Job (1936), he began to sign his works with the pseudonym that made him famous. Very clean copy, retaining both brochure covers with the original narrow flaps (with slight imperfections on the periphery).

SOUTHEY, Robert.- History of the Peninsular War.- London: John Murray, 1823-1832.- 3 vols.; 28 cm.- E., First edition of one of the most important documents for the history of political-military events of the time. Southey (1774-1843), English historian and poet, born in Bristol, visited Portugal twice and owned a valuable library of 14,000 volumes, specializing in works on the Iberian Peninsula and South America. The collation of each of the volumes is as follows: I - XIX, [1 br.], 806 p.; II - XVI, 807 p.; III - XV, [1], 936 p. Very clean copy, slightly cropped with marbled edges. Armorial ex-libris by Charles Herbert (unidentified coat of arms wrapped in legend: Tenax et Fidus), in the first volume only.

CAMÕES, Luís de.- RIMAS | DE LVIS DE | CAMÕES. | ACRESCENTADAS NESTA | Terceyra impressão. | Dirigidas a Inclyta Vniuersidade | de Coimbra. | [gravura xilográfica com a esfera armilar] | Impressas com licença da Sancta Inquisição.- Em Lisboa: Por Pedro Crasbeeck. A custa de Domingos Fernandez mercador de libros. Com Priuilegio. Anno 1607.- [8], 102 [aliás 202], [5] f.; 18 cm.- E., One of the three known variants of the third edition of the Rimes and, probably, the first to come off the press by Pedro Craesbeeck. The present one, with an armillary sphere in the engraving of the title page, corresponds approximately to the description of the copy by José do Canto (Camoneana, 14), but presents the typographical error SENETO I. on page 1 (f. A1), still to be corrected. On the other hand, the numbering of the last leaf (202) was corrected, since there are copies with errors in the foliation (102 by 202). The other two variants feature the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Portugal in the title page engraving. In fact, the three variants also show significant compositional differences that are not constant from specimen to specimen. Therefore, serious bibliographic problems arise, as can be seen from the detailed descriptions of Tito de Noronha (Anuário da Sociedade Nacional Camoneana), José do Canto (14) and Brito Aranha (Inocêncio, 11) which also do not coincide. Copy slightly cropped and with slight browning, preserving the rare last blank sheet (c8) that completes the section c. Remote provenance: Ex-libris Marchionis Salsiae (Francesco Maria Berio 1765-1820, Marchese di Salza); a second ex-libris, on the back cover, with the motto: Comme Je Fus (William Ward, viscount Dudley, 1750-1823). The copy also has a small handwritten note in pencil by London bookseller Bernard Quarith, with the indication Perfect. A good contemporary binding, fully made of rigid parchment, with the original endpapers on plain paper. Inocêncio, XIV, p. 40/43. Palha, 1619. Arouca, C 66 (describes only the second variant).

L'ÉVEQUE, Henri.- Costume of Portugal.- [London: Colnaghi and Edmund Lloyd, 1812-1814].- [1, 52] f.: [50] gravuras color.; 35 cm.- E., Henri l’Éveque (1769-1832), Swiss traveller, painter, watercolourist and engraver, born in Geneva, was in Portugal several times, having graphically recorded, among other subjects, numerous episodes of the French Invasions. His "Costume of Portugal" is considered the most beautiful book of Portuguese usages published during the 19th century and an important source for the iconography of Portuguese costume of his time. Without the title page, which was never printed, the edition consists of a page with the title, followed by another with the dedication printed to the councilor, minister and secretary of state António de Araújo de Azevedo, first Count of Barca (1754-1817) and a third sheet with the index of the engravings in Portuguese. Next, 50 numbered aquatints, coloured by hand, interspersed with 52 sheets of bilingual texts, in English and French, describing the respective images. Copy with stain on the edge, progressively affecting the outer margins of the last 11 engravings and respective text sheets (maximum 140x60 mm). The copy has a crowned oval stamp (on the first page) and a circular book stamp, also crowned, gold engraved, at the foot of the spine, ownership marks that, in the pencil inscription on the free endpaper, are attributed to Augustus Frederick (1773-1843), Duke of Sussex, sixth male child (ninth son) of King George III of the United Kingdom (attribution that could not be confirmed). The remaining plates are very clean and well preserved. Full brown morocco binding, with peripheral ornamental borders with three simple fillets and florets in the corners of the covers, closed panels on the smooth spine and rolls on the squares (protective case). Duarte de Sousa, 422.

[ORDENAÇÕES MANUELINAS] O PRIMEIRO [ao quinto] LI | uro das ordenações.- Lisboa: por Manoel Joam, 1565.- 5 livros em 1 vol.; 28 cm.- E., An important 16th-century Portuguese bibliographic species still shrouded in some uncertainty regarding the different prints and variants, the printer and place or places of printing. In terms of content, the “Manoeline Ordinances”, which were first printed in Lisbon by Valentim Fernandes (1512-1513), replaced the so-called “Afonsine Ordinances”. Its second printing is also from Lisbon, by João Pedro Bonhomini, 1514. In 1521 a new compilation was carried out, which resulted in the printing of Juan Cromberger, a printer of German origin, settled in Seville, followed by several reprints (four?) individualized from each (or some?) of the five books, until 1539. Finally, in 1565, Manuel João's edition was published. The “Manoeline Ordinances” were only replaced in 1603 by the Philippine Ordinances, since before this date no code was enacted to revoke them. The collation of each of the books is as follows. Book one: [3], xcvj f.; Second book: [2], lxix, [1] f.; Third book: [3], xcvi; Fourth book: [3], LXVI f.; Fifth book: [4], xcviij f. Titled copies were only printed in the first and third books. At the end of the last book, the signature of the licensee Mateus Esteves, from Desembargo do Paço. Complete copy, but with some imperfections, namely: first book cover very cropped and with restoration in the lower outer corner; the first three pages of the first book may have been added from another copy; xcv sheet (m6) of the first book, shorter, from another copy; last two sheets with strong and extensive restorations (margins reconstructed) affecting the text on the last sheet; slight browning and occasional marginal stains; numerous marginal annotations of the time. Recent binding, full parchment, with handwritten title on the spine, in the old-fashioned way. National Library (16th century), 745. Library of King D. Manuel II of Portugal, 421.

D. xlj.- [Lisboa: Luís Rodrigues, 1541].- [8], CLXXI f.; 27 cm.- E., First Portuguese edition of a work based on the “Ecclesiastical History” by Eusebius of Caesarea (ca. 260/265- ca. 339/340) and his successors (especially Rufino and Cassiodoro), the translation being the responsibility of the Dominican Friar Juan de la Cruz. The author was Bishop of Caesarea and is considered the first historian of the Church, his writings being indispensable for the knowledge of the Early Church. The work, divided into nine books, was republished in Coimbra, by João Álvares, in 1554. On the verso of the last page, an ingenious colophon forming two triangles that ends “Acabose en la muy noble y leal ciudad de Lixboa. xv. from October. 1541”. Copy a little cropped with browning sometimes accentuated. Two small old inscriptions, one crossed out, on the title page; occasional minor restorations. Full leather binding, 20th century, with slight wear to the spine. Inocêncio III, p. 192 (extremely rare work). Samodães, 1553 (refers to only 8, 150 folios). Palau, 84777.

"Dissertatio Polemica De Prima Origine Augustissimae Domus Habspurgo-Austriacae : in qua viginti diversae opiniones authorum ventilantur, et vera origo a Carolo Magno Imperatore eiusque Maioribus Franco-Germanis Cum multiplici Praerogativa", Labaci (Ljubliana), second edition, beautiful leather binding blindstamped, interior fresh, complete 330 pp., 34x25cms, frontispice a bit loose, a very nice copy of this rare work on the history of Charlemagne. Charlemagne has been called the "Father of Europe" (Pater Europae),[6] as he united most of Western Europe for the first time since the classical era of the Roman Empire, as well as uniting parts of Europe that had never been under Frankish or Roman rule. His reign spurred the Carolingian Renaissance, a period of energetic cultural and intellectual activity within the Western Church. The Eastern Orthodox Church viewed Charlemagne less favourably, due to his support of the filioque and the Pope's preference of him as emperor over the Byzantine Empire's first female monarch, Irene of Athens. These and other disputes led to the eventual split of Rome and Constantinople in the Great Schism of 1054.

Glasgow Andrew Foulis, first edition, 40x25cm, green leather binding with gold striping in very good condition, interior solid and fresh, complete, a very good copy. James Thomson (11 September 1700 Ednam, Roxburghshire – 27 August 1748 Richmond upon Thames) was a Scottish poet, playwright and prose writer. Thomson is best known for his poetic work, especially his cycle of poems about the seasons, which would eventually be published in 1730 under the title The Seasons, and his long poem The Castle of Indolence. He also wrote the lyrics to the still popular patriotic song Rule, Britannia!, which was set to music in 1740 by Thomas Arne.

Bruges Joannem Baptistam Kerckhovium, in-4° 31x21cms, engraved half page map of Flanders, engraved 'succession tree' of Flemish Counts, engraved key to heraldry, and some 300 engravings of seals. Bound in contemporary vellum, title in ink on spine, ties intact. Very sharp and dark impression, minor handsoiling to covers, ex-libris on front cover, generally very good, an excellent copy. Rare first edition of Olivier de Vrée's (1596-1652) compendium of seals of the Counts of Flanders, a volume notable both for its antiquarian rigor - the work remains a standard reference on the subject - and for its some 300 copperplate engravings meticulously cataloguing the development of seals from the establishment of Flanders as a country in the ninth century (the 878 A.D. seal of Count Baldinus) to the time of the book's publication (the seals of Philip IV). Wax sigilla, impressed using a unique engraved metal matrix, were specific to individuals or institutions and used to certify official documents such as title deeds. Seals attracted the same sort of antiquarian study as coins - with which they were often collected and displayed - owing to their value as witnesses to ancient languages, history, art, and politics. Nor was the study of seals without real world importance during the seventeenth century, when reference to centuries-old documents could spark or halt the redrawing of European borders. The illustrations of the Sigilla Comitum Flandriae are profuse and of the highest technical quality. Executed by two father-son teams, Samuel & Adriaen Lommelin and François Schelhaver père et fils, the 300 engravings of seals are at once faithful to the wax artifacts they depict and even improve upon these models: Several specimens of exactly the same design but differing in size from each other by only a few millimeters are dutifully reproduced in separate engravings, while the fine detail of many engravings (especially the later examples) far surpasses that found in the seals themselves or even the engraved matricies with which they were impressed. The Sigilla Comitum Flandriae also contains a fine map of Flanders labeled with ancient toponyms, a depiction of the tomb slab of Gilles the Norman (d. 1227), a 'key' to help the reader identify coats of arms, and a tree of the succession of Flemish Counts, the latter with city views of Bruges and Ghent. Dutch and French editions of the Sigilla Comitum Flandriae followed in 1640 and 1641, but with engravings printed separately and not integrated into the textblock as in the present first edition. - Bruges Joannem Baptistam Kerckhovium, in-4° 31x21cms, carte demi-page gravée des Flandres, 'arbre de succession' gravé des comtes flamands, clé gravée de l'héraldique, et quelque 300 gravures de sceaux. Reliure en vélin de l'époque, titre à l'encre au dos, liens intacts. Epreuve très nette et sombre, légères salissures sur les couvertures, ex-libris au premier plat, très bon état général, excellent exemplaire. Rare édition originale du recueil des sceaux des comtes de Flandre d'Olivier de Vrée (1596-1652), volume remarquable tant par sa rigueur antiquaire - l'ouvrage reste une référence incontournable en la matière - que par ses quelque 300 gravures sur cuivre répertoriant minutieusement les développement des sceaux depuis l'établissement de la Flandre en tant que pays au IXe siècle (le sceau de 878 après JC du comte Baldinus) jusqu'au moment de la publication du livre (les sceaux de Philippe IV). Les sigilles de cire, imprimées à l'aide d'une matrice métallique gravée unique, étaient spécifiques aux particuliers ou aux institutions et servaient à certifier des documents officiels tels que des titres de propriété. Les sceaux ont attiré le même type d'étude antiquaire que les pièces de monnaie - avec lesquelles ils étaient souvent collectés et exposés - en raison de leur valeur en tant que témoins des langues, de l'histoire, de l'art et de la politique anciennes. L'étude des sceaux n'était pas non plus sans réelle importance mondiale au XVIIe siècle, lorsque la référence à des documents séculaires pouvait déclencher ou arrêter le redessin des frontières européennes. Les illustrations de la Sigilla Comitum Flandriae sont abondantes et de la plus haute qualité technique. Réalisées par deux équipes père-fils, Samuel & Adriaen Lommelin et François Schelhaver père et fils, les 300 gravures de sceaux sont à la fois fidèles aux artefacts en cire qu'elles représentent et améliorent même ces modèles : plusieurs exemplaires exactement du même dessin mais différents en taille les uns des autres de seulement quelques millimètres sont consciencieusement reproduits dans des gravures séparées, tandis que la finesse des détails de nombreuses gravures (en particulier les exemples les plus récents) dépasse de loin celle trouvée dans les sceaux eux-mêmes ou même les matrices gravées dont ils ont été impressionnés. Le Sigilla Comitum Flandriae contient également une belle carte de la Flandre étiquetée d'anciens toponymes, une représentation de la dalle funéraire de Gilles le Normand (mort en 1227), une "clé" pour aider le lecteur à identifier les armoiries, et un arbre des succession de comtes flamands, ces derniers avec des vues sur la ville de Bruges et de Gand. Les éditions néerlandaise et française du Sigilla Comitum Flandriae ont suivi en 1640 et 1641, mais avec des gravures imprimées séparément et non intégrées dans le bloc de texte comme dans la première édition actuelle.

Das von Erich Heckel gestaltete Plakat für die 2. Ausstellung im Kunstsalon von Emil Richter in der Prager Straße in Dresden bedeutet gegenüber der Gestaltung von Kirchner ein Jahr zuvor eine innovative Radikalisierung der bis dato überkommenen, flächigen Gestaltungsweise der Plakatkunst. Mit einem das Motiv füllenden, auf den rechten Arm sich stützenden Halbakt mit provokantem Blick zitiert Heckel den erreichten Stand der künstlerischen Aussage der 'Brücke'-Kunst. Mit dem lapidaren 'KG Brücke bei Emil Richter' unterstreicht der Künstler bereits die Errungenschaft einer geschäftlichen Verbindung der 'Brücke' zu Emil Richter; der Ort der Lokalität 'Pragerstraße' verschwindet nahezu im Kleingedruckten. Wieder ist es der Holzschnitt, den die 'Brücke'-Künstler als ihr Medium nunmehr auch für das großformatige Plakat (wieder)entdecken. Und dies nicht nur, weil der emotionale Prozess der Entstehung wie hier unmittelbar sichtbar wird. Heckel versteht den Einsatz von verschiedenen Messern, um die Gegensätze zwischen Zeichnung und Schrift zu zeigen und dabei den Charakter der Oberfläche mit den stehenbleibenden Graten als künstlerische Position herauszustellen und (extra) fein im Kleingedruckten den Hinweis auf den Drucker am unteren Bildrand rechts zu vermerken: 'Littmann Oldg'. Der für Holzschnitte sonst übliche Eigendruck scheint Heckel für eine große Auflage nicht mehr gegeben. Heckel, der sich im Sommer in Dangast bei Schmidt-Rottluff aufhält, lässt dieses Plakat mit einem satten Rot auf beigem Papier bei der seit 1863 bestehenden, alteingesessenen Druckerei Littmann in Oldenburg drucken.

In comparison with the design by Kirchner from a year earlier, Erich Heckel’s poster for the 2nd exhibition at art salon Emil Richter on Prager Straße in Dresden signifies an innovative radicalization of the hitherto outdated, two-dimensional design method of poster art. With a half-nude leaning on her right arm and a provocative look, Heckel underlines the artistic statement of 'Brücke' art. With the succinct 'KG Brücke bei Emil Richter' the artist emphasized the achievement of a business connection with Emil Richter; the location 'Pragerstraße' almost disappears in fine print. Again, it is the woodcut that the 'Brücke' artists (re)discovered as their medium now also for the large-format poster. And this not only because the process of creation becomes directly visible, as is the case here. Heckel understands the use of different knives to show the contrasts between drawing and writing, emphasizing the character of the surface with the ridges as an artistic position and mentions the printer in small print in bottom righ: 'Littmann Oldg'. Instead of printing the woodcut himself, as it usually was the case, it was not an option for such a large edition. Heckel, who was staying with Schmidt-Rottluff in Dangast during the summer, has this poster printed with a rich red on off-white paper at the established print-shop Littmann in Oldenburg, which was founded in 1863.

A LARGE PALE GREEN AND RUSSET JADE 'DOUBLE DRAGON' PENDANT, HUANG, EARLY WESTERN HAN 西漢早期大型青玉帶沁雙龍紋璜China, 2nd century BC. The elegantly curved huang with a stylized dragon head to either end. The mostly translucent stone of a sea-green tone with cloudy white and russet inclusions and shadings. Pierced for suspension.Provenance: The Collection of Irene and Wolfgang Zacke. The couple has been active in the art trade for well over half a century and were one of the first in Austria to offer Asian works of art for sale, starting in 1968. Since the late 1980s, they have been collecting ancient Chinese jades, building an extensive collection over the decades.Condition: Very good condition with old wear, signs of weathering, minuscule nibbling to edges, shallow surface scratches and other traces of use, minor erosion.Weight: 227.6 gDimensions: Length 33.5 cmThe surface is densely covered with small and slightly raised hexagons, a pattern called pu, or 'cat tail'. During the Han dynasty, this motif was mostly used to decorate large funerary discs with carved masks. The squarish indentations carved on the border at the extremities of the ornaments evoke the stylized features of two dragon heads in profile: the chin, mouth, snout, and horns.Literature comparison: Three related huang carved with patterns of small, raised curls and hexagons were excavated from the princely tombs at Shizishan (Xuzhou, Jiangsu) between 1994 and 1995.
