Corps universel diplomatique du droit des gens; contenant un recueil des traitez d'alliance, de paix, de treve, de neutralité, de commerce, d'échange (…) depuis Charlemagne jusques à présent. (&) Supplement. Amst./The Hague, P. Brunel, P. Husson (etc.), 1726-39. Tog. 13 (8 vols. & 5 suppl.) in 16 vols. W. 2 engr. fronts. (vol. 1 & vol. 1 suppl.) & 1 engr. plate. Lge-fol. Fine cont. full blind tooled vellum w. raised bands.

NOTE:Important and extensive work on the diplomatic corps of human rights by Jean Dumont Baron de Carlscroon (1667-1727), a French publicist. It was continued in 1739 by Rousset de Missy and Barbeyrac. It contains treaties from 315 A.D. to 1730. The treaties are all in their original language. The first volume of the supplement by Jean Barbeyrac contains treaties from antiquity: "Histoire des anciens traitez, ou Recueil historique et chronologique des traitez répandus dans les auteurs grecs et latins et autres monumens de l'antiquité." Rather rare, especially in this condition.

NOTE:Raymond Lull, famous alchemist and mystic, was born at Palma, on Majorca in Spain, in 1235, and martyred at Bongie in Africa in 1315. On one hand his work influenced Gottfried Leibniz and Giordano Bruno (a.o.), on the other they were a great influence on the debate between Christians and Jews in Spain and on the attempts at conversion of Muslims in Spain. This first collected edition contains a substantial number of treatises in these fields, as well as his more philosophical works, partly bordering on the occult. - Adams L-1694; VD16 R155.

Lot 893

LEIDEN -- 'BODEBOEKJE'. Notebook for the first 26 weeks of 18?? containing i.a. names, addresses and registration numbers of Leiden citizens, probably to administrate premiums for a health insurance fund. Manuscript in pencil and ink on paper. 97 lvs., r° and v°. In cont. sm-8° vellum bind. (Traces of use, but in good, legible condition). NOTE:A health insurance was mainly aimed at the poor and the premium therefore consisted of a few cents a week. The 'health insurance carrier' collected the premium money weekly from the insured and then paid the doctors and pharmacists. In the 19th century, the popularity of health insurance funds grew rapidly. Commercial funds, mutual workers' funds and funds set up by doctors and pharmacists arose.

(Mémoires d'Histoire et de Géographie Orientales N° 1). NOTE:Second (much enlarged!) edition (first published in 1862). French text with Arabic passages in the appendix. An important and rare work on the Qarmatins of Bahrain. The Qarmartins were a revolutionary Shi'a Ismaili sect, which took control of Bahrain in 899 AD and instigated a break from orthodox Islam that extended to the sack of Mecca in 930 AD. They were the dominant force in the Persian Gulf and Middle East for much of the 10th century, until a number of destabilising factors led to their defeat by the Abbasids (in 976) and subsequent diminishment.

NOTE:Rare first part of the first volume of this monthly magazine, published by the 'Permanente Commissie van de Maatschappij van Weldadigheid', mainly by the founder (Johannes van den Bosch) and the secretary (Willem Anthonie Ockerse), to inform the donors what the 'Maatschappij' spend their money on. At the beginning of the 19th century, a large-scale social experiment took place in the United Netherlands, with as purpose: to end poverty. Since 1818, the 'Maatschappij van Weldadigheid' buys up large, uncultivated tracts of land. Seven Colonies of 'Weldadigheid' were established there in seven years. The publication of the magazine ends in 1826 after the death of Ockerse. In 2007 'De Star' is revived by the former director Jan Mensink a.o.

NOTE:Philip Cluver (Cluwer or Cluvier) (1580-1623), German geographer and historian, was given a special appointment at Leiden as geographer and put in charge of the university's library. His life's project was a general study of the geography of Antiquity, based not only on classical literary sources, but - and this was his contribution - supplemented by wide travels and local inspections. He became virtually the founder of historical geography. The first edition of this work appeared in 1624 (without maps) and many editions followed. Another edition with only 38 maps (in duodecimo) was also published in 1661 (Amst., Elzevier). - Sabin 13805; Shirley 426.
