Orbeli (Joseph & Trever, Kamilla). Muse?e de l'Ermitage. Orfe?vrerie sasanide, objets en or, argent et bronze, 1st edition, Moscow & Leningrad: Academia, 1935, 85 collotype plates, table of plates in French and Russian, endpapers renewed, original cloth, rebacked preserving original spine, evidence of label removal at foot of spine, some discolouration to covers, folioQty: (1)Footnote: Sassanian silver objects are regarded as some of the masterpieces of metalwork of the ancient world. The Hermitage has the most important collection of Sassanian silver objects in the world. Details regarding the majority of the contents of the collection were first published by Iakov Ivanovich Smirnov (1869-1916) in 1909 in his “Vostochnoe Serebro: Atlas Drevnei Serebrianoi i Zolotoi Posudy Vostochnago Proiskhozhdeniia, Naidennoi Preimmushchestvenno v Predielakh Rossiiskoi Imperii” (Catalogue of ancient eastern objects in silver and gold, found mainly in Russia, published in St. Petersburg by the Imperial Archaeological Commission), when knowledge about the field was still rudimentary. The work of Orbeli and Trever was the first time the complete collection was published and with correct attributions and analysis. It was published in conjunction with the 3rd International Conference in Iranian Art and Archaeology held in St. Petersburg in 1935. Iosef Abaraovitch Orbeli (1887-1961) was a Russian orientalist and academician who specialized in Iranian studies, Armenian and Kurdish philology, and archaeology. In 1920, he joined the Oriental Department of the State Hermitage Museum in Leningrad as a curator, and in 1926 he became the head of this department. He played an invaluable role in the development of this department, which is still one of the richest departments of the State Hermitage Museum. In 1931, he participated in the second International Congress on Iranian Art and Archaeology in London and organized a rich exhibition of art pieces from the State Hermitage and other Soviet museums. The great impression that this exhibition produced influenced the decision to organize the Third International Congress on Iranian Art and Archaeology in the USSR. In the same year, a permanent exhibition of the Oriental Department was opened in the Hermitage Museum as a result of his extensive scholarly work. In 1934, he was appointed the director of the State Hermitage Museum. He also took an active part in organizing the Third International Congress in Moscow and Leningrad in 1935. The art of Sasanian Iran, which had inspired craftsmen and artists of the Caucasus and Central Asia for many centuries, even after the fall of the Sasanian dynasty, was one of the major subjects of Orbeli’s research work. He continued the scholarly traditions established by J. I. Smirnov. The latter published his album Oriental Silver in 1909, which reproduced most of the pieces of Sasanian metalwork known by that time. Smirnov, however, failed to publish his comments to the album, which still remain in manuscript form. The results of his investigations were most probably well known to Orbeli, who was interested, not just in the different aspects of Sasanian art, but mainly in its influence on the art and culture of neighbouring peoples. In his introduction to “Orfevrerie Sasanide” (published in 1935), he surveys the finds of Sasanian metal in Russia and suggests the possible ways they reached there. Many of his suggestions on the trade routes that functioned in antiquity were confirmed by later investigations. Ethnographic parallels allowed Orbeli to identify the function of some of the popular forms of vessels, such as “lobed bowls,” which were used for fruits and sweets. Orbeli did not write much about the technical aspects of Sasanian metal, since he was interested more in iconography and its development within the context of changing Iranian society. In 1955, Orbeli took the position of the head of the Oriental Faculty at Leningrad State University, and the following year he was appointed the head of the Leningrad branch of the Institute for Oriental Studies, the USSR Academy of Sciences. Under him, the Institute quickly grew into the largest centre of Oriental studies in the USSR. Kamilla Vasilevna Trever (1892-1974), was a Russian historian, numismatist and orientalist, specialized in the history and culture of Transcaucasia, Central Asia and Iran. Her major scientific contributions began after she was elected as a research fellow at the Imperial Archaeological Commission in 1918, and began her work at the State Hermitage Museum. Her work at the Hermitage began in the Greek-Scythian department and brought her into the orbit of Orbeli, with whom she would have a lifelong collaboration, working on Sasanian toreutics and numismatics, and pre-Islamic Iranian material culture and history more broadly. She was the force behind the 3rd International Conference in Iranian Art and Archaeology in 1935, which is remembered as a watershed moment for Soviet studies on Iran and the Near East.

The first, still from the 16th century (along with the pamphlet “Geografia antiga de Lvsytania”) and the last, which Inocêncio considers the most difficult to find, are particularly rare. The project for the work was conceived by Friar Bernardo de Brito (in the century, Baltasar Brito de Andrade) as a grandiose history of Portugal, but the chronicler, born in Almeida (1568-1617) only completed the first two volumes. Frei António Brandão (Marcos Brandão), born in Alcobaça (1584-1637) was the author of the second and third parts, which many consider more reliable. Frei Francisco Brandão was also a native of Alcobaça (1601-1680) and was responsible for the fifth and sixth parts. The last two parts were respectively written by Frei Rafael de Jesus (Guimarães, 1614-1693) and Frei Manuel dos Santos (Cantanhede, 1672-1740). The specimen has some imperfections, which we now describe. First volume with restored first two folios and mirrored title page; restoration in the margin of folio 75, with loss of some text (glosas). Geography only preserves the first and last folios (with serious restoration, but preserving the entire text); all remaining six folios have been replaced with quality photocopies on laid paper. Second volume with folio 338 and 343 manuscripts in humanist handwriting from the 17th century, with restorations on the outer margin (and lower margin on the second). Fourth volume with title page restorations, where the ink of an owner's signature has corroded the paper. Sixth volume with wormholes restored on the outer margin (sometimes reaching the text), from p. 489/490. The seventh volume does not present the rare allegorical half-title, which, incidentally, is not mentioned by most bibliographers. Eighth volume with rough restorations in two sections (P and Q, ie 12 folios). Copy with stamps from Quinta das Lágrimas in all volumes and occasional minor stains. Full sheepskin bindings, recovered, with new endpapers. Inocêncio, I, p. 373 and 98; VII, p. 49; VI, p. 102. Samodans, 2115. Ameal, 1549.

MANUSCRITO.- CARLOS II, Rei de Espanha.- Carta executória de fidalguia- Século XVII (1676).- 75 f; 32 cm.- E., Manuscript on parchment. Execution of nobility charter (or letter of coat of arms) granted in the name of the Council of His Excellency El-Rei Don Carlos II, of Spain (1661-1700), to Don Garcia de Medrano y Varrio (or Barrio), neighbour of the village of Almagro, Granada jurisdiction, by H.M.'s fiscal attorney, Don Juan de Muriel. At the end: Dada en Granada a beynteiocho dias del mes de mayo de mil y seisc[ent]os y setenta y seis años. Executory letters of nobility were introduced during the reign of Fernando and Isabel, the Catholic Monarchs, and continued to be produced until the 19th century. They witnessed the blood cleansing of the applicants and their ancestors, as well as their faith, free from any heresy. At the same time, they defined their coat of arms and established the right to use them. The document is developed on 75 sheets of parchment (2 white), carefully ruled and calligraphed in Gothic characters, the last being occupied by an extensive visa. In the first two folios we find three large full-page (31x22 cm) illuminations, with the following representations: on the verso of the first folio the Virgin Mary; in front of the second folio, a genealogical scheme with 13 blue circles inscribed in gold (oxidized); on the verso of the same sheet, the applicant's coat of arms held by an angel or archangel with a sword (St. Michael?). In front of the next page, with two lateral vegetal stripes, the beginning of the text, with the first three lines (plus lines 21 and 22) illuminated in blue, red and gold. The text also includes three dozen illuminated initials, with one or two lines, two large letters and seven lines totally or partially painted. Document well preserved, fully legible, with only some oxidation in the gold decoration. Full crimson velvet binding, not contemporary, with two silver clasps. Protective case in burgundy canvas.
