Anatomy.- Falloppio (Gabrielle) Observationes anatomicae, first edition, second issue, Cologne, Arnold Birkmann, 1562; Vasse (Loys) In anatomen corporis humani tabulae quatuor, Venice, 1549, together 2 works in 1, printer's device to titles, bookplates to pastedown, neat contemporary ownership name to title, some water-staining, contemporary vellum, yapp edges, manuscript lettering to spine, covers lightly marked, spine darkened, else a very clean copy, [Norman 757; Lilly, Notable Medical Books 39; Heirs of Hippocrates 331; Garrison-Morton 378.2 (all the 1561 edition); Wellcome 2148], 8vo (160 x 99mm).⁂ One of the great anatomical works of the 16th century. Rather than a complete study of the whole anatomy, Falloppio (1523-1562), pupil of Vesalius, designed this work as a critical commentary of his teacher's De humani corporis fabrica, correcting some of its errors and adding details. In the work he first describes many new anatomical parts, including the structure and course of the cerebral vessels, and enumerated all the nerves of the eye, though he is perhaps best known for his account of the tubes in the female reproductive system which are named after him.
Animal physiology.- Fabrici (Girolamo Ab Aquapendente) De respirationes & eius Instrumentis, Padua, Antonio Meglietti, 1615; De motu locali animalium secundum totum, [& De alarum actione], Padua, Giambattista de Martinis, 1618; De gula, ventriculo, intestinis tractatus, Padua, Lorenzo Pasquiati, 1618; and De musculi artificio, et ossium de articulationibus, lacking 4 preliminary leaves, Vicenza, Pietro Bertellio, 1614; together 4 works in 1, first editions, woodcut initials, head- and tail-pieces, contemporary ink marking to front free endpaper, margins toned, contemporary blind-ruled calf, morocco gilt spine label, rather rubbed with portions of loss to spine tail, joints cracked though holding strong, 4to. ⁂ Rare first editions of four works on animal motion and physiology by the remarkable anatomist and founder of embryology. Each were issued separately from 1614 to 1618 before being reissued together by Meglietti with a general title dated 1625. The present lot is a sammelband of the separately issued works. Fabrici (1533-1619) studied at Padua with Gabriele Falloppop, whom he succeeded as teacher of anatomy upon the latter's death in 1562.
Architectural geometry.- Pomodoro (Giovanni) Geometria prattica tratta dagl'Elementi d'Euclide, first edition, first issue, engraved title in scrollwork boarder with coat of arms, historiated initials, engraved full-page illustrations after Pomodoro and Scala, some light even browning to title and throughout, damp-staining to first 2 signatures, small paper repair to tail of M⁴, contemporary vellum, light marking to upper cover, heavier staining to lower cover, [EDIT 16 CNCE 28377; Harvard Italian 394; Riccardi I (2), 300], folio, Rome, Stefano Paolini, 1599.⁂ Rare finely illustrated manual of Euclidean geometry and its practical applications for surveyors and architects. The illustrations show geometrical constructions and surveying and measuring instruments and issues, including architectural plans and elevations of buildings and streets. The coat of arms on the title is of the dedicatee, Cardinal Pietro Aldobrandini.
Astrology & Astronomy.- Astrologer to Catherine de' Medici.- Gauricus (Lucas) Ephemerides recognitae et ad ungem Castigatae ... Eiusdem schemata & praedictiones ad Annum usque virginei partus 1552. Eiusdem Isagogicus in totam ferme Astrologiam Libellus. Quo pacto aeris q[ua]litas diiudicet ex Theophilo. Ventorum nomina, ordo..., first edition, woodcut illustrations, colophon with woodcut Junta device, near-contemporary annotations to endpapers and text, occasional very light spotting or staining, letter in early hand loosely inserted, contemporary limp vellum, manuscript lettering to spine, bound with remains of a medieval manuscript, rubbed with some loss to spine and extremities, [Adams E202; Gardner 488; Houzeau & Lancaster 14657; Honeyman 1448; EDIT 16 CNCE 20516], 4to (218 x 160mm), Venice, for Lucantonio Giunta, 1533.⁂ First edition of these very rare ephemerides by the astronomer, astrological data collector, and mathematician Luca Gaurico (1474-1558), containing tables and astrological prognostications for the years 1534 through 1551. Gaurico's contemporary reputation stemmed from his astrological prognostications, and was appointed 'astrological consultant' to Catherine de' Medici after correctly predicting at age fourteen the ascension to the papacy of Catherine's great-uncle Giovanni de Medici. He became famous throughout Europe after twice predicting in 1529 and 1532 the ascension of Alessandro Farnese who, as Paul III, rewarded him by making him bishop of Giffoni in 1539, transferring him in 1545 to the see of Civitate nella Capitanata. As a mathematician Gaurico is best known for the first published Latin translations of Archimedes' works De Mensura Circuli and De Quadratura Parabolae (1503). He went on to publish an edition of Pecham's Perspectiva Communis in 1504.

It contains his theory that the orbit of each of the five planets is determined by the circumference of the five platonic solids nested one inside the other (see the engraved plate). As well as Kepler's own introductory chapter expounding and defending the Copernican theory, the book contains a reprint of Rheticus' Naratio prima, the first announcement of the theory which was first published in 1540 and before De revolutionibus in 1543. This second edition includes Kepler's additional notes reflecting the development of his thinking in the intervening 25 years, and appended is the first edition of Kepler's response to attacks by Robert Fludd on his Harmonices mundi of 1619.
Calculating π.- Ceulen (Ludolph van) De Arithmetische en Geometrische fondamenten ... In veele verscheydene constighe question, soo geometrice door linien, als arithmetice door irrationale ghetallen, cock door den regel coss, ende de tafelen sinuum ghesolveert, first edition, head- & tail-pieces, illustrations, very occasional scattered spotting, contemporary vellum, manuscript lettering to spine, lightly browned, [Tomash & Williams C57], tall 8vo, Leiden, Joost van Colster and Jacob Marcus, 1615.⁂ First edition of this rare work, containing the best approximation to the value of π achieved at that time. Ceulen calculated the value of π to 33 decimal places, using the method of Archimedes' On the measurement of the circle, enclosing a circle between polygons with larger and larger numbers of sides.

Blasius describes the anatomy of fourteen types, including tortoise, duck, pigeon, ox, sheep, pig, dog, cat, civet-cat, fox, rat, hare and monkey, and others. The first 167 pages are devoted to human anatomy, followed by the description of the anatomy of various animals, and pp. 168-252 are devoted to the anatomy of a dog. This is the first comprehensive and original treatise on a vertebrate since the publication of Ruini's volume on the horse in 1598.

Harold Alfred Manhood (1904-91) was primarily known for his collections of short stories but he also wrote novels, most notably Gay Agony. Having settled in Sussex living in an old railway carriage, in 1953 he became disillusioned with editors and the paltry proceeds from his books so gave up writing and devoted his time to growing his own food and brewing cider. Frank Herrmann negotiated the sale of his extensive working papers to the British Library. It included manuscripts, notebooks of ideas, early drafts, reviews etc., and correspondence with editors and publishers as well as many of his literary contemporaries.

The result showed that the diameter of the Earth is greater at the equator than at the poles, confirming Newton's prediction based on his law of universal gravitation. Bound with this copy of La Condamine's account of the geodetic expedition is an extremely rare offprint of the memoir in which he proposed that the length of a pendulum with period one second at the equator should be used as a new standard measure of length.
Lavater (Johann Caspar) Essays in Physiognomy, first English edition, 3 vol. in 5, 173 engraved plates, engraved vignettes throughout, lacking half-titles to vol. 2 and 3 first parts, offsetting and foxing, bookplate to front pastedowns, handsomely bound in green morocco, gilt spines with brown labels, extremities rubbed, 4to, John Murray, 1789-98.

The work discusses the stereographic projection and the celestial south pole. Ptolemy used this for mapping points on the celestial sphere upon the plane of the equator, suggesting that all the circles of the sphere - apart from great circles passing through the poles - are projected upon circles. He did not prove this result, assuming that his readers would know how to derive it from Apollonius's work. By the 1550s, however, such an assumption was no longer reasonable, and Commandino provided a proof in his commentary. This addendum of the treatises on stereographic projection of Ptolemy and Jordanus also includes his own treatise on perspective which "the first example of an entirely geometrical and rigorous approach to perspective" (Anderson).

Pastellkreiden auf Papier. 285 x 147 cm.Unter Glas gerahmt..Signiert unten rechts: Henry de Groux.ProvenienzAus der Sammlung von SKH Prince Charles de Belgique.Ausstellungen2001 / 2002: Les passions de l´Ame, les symbolistes belges, Museum of Fine Arts Budapest (S. 52, Nr. 9). - 2005 / 2006: Le Symbolisme en Belgique, Bunkamura Museum Tokio. Onomichi Prefectural Museum of Art, Kagoshima City Museum, Fukui Fine Arts Museum (S. 125, Nr. 72). - 2019: Henry de Groux (1866 - 1930, maître de la démesure, Musée Felicien Rops, Namur (S. 6, Nr. 3).An opulent pastel, this "drawing" by Henry de Groux is an exemplary work of Belgian Symbolism, both in form and content. The artists of this epoch attached great importance to a refined, elaborate technique and a complex composition - perhaps even in deliberate contrast to the rapidly executed plain-air paintings of the Impressionists. At the same time, this work is an incunabulum of Symbolism in terms of its content and the message it conveys. Not only for de Groux, but especially for him, Richard Wagner's stage dramas and the pathos of his mystical figures with their dark dreams of death and redemption, were an important source of inspiration. This monumental and detailed drawing refers to Wagner's opera "The Flying Dutchman". The female figure in the painting is Senta, whose self-imposed destiny was to redeem the doomed Dutchman. He was only allowed a short stay on land every seven years. If he found a woman who would remain faithful to him, he and his crew would be released from this spell. After their first encounter, Senta dreams and feels she has to redeem the damned, but the story does not end well. The Dutchman doubts Senta's faith and climbs aboard his ship. Senta calls after him "Treu bis zum Tod (Faithful to the death)" and throws herself into the sea. Instantly, the Dutchman's ship sinks and is redeemed. In a later correction of the finale, the Dutchman and Senta are seen rising from the sea to heaven to the "Erlösungsmotiv“, or the "theme of redemption".
