PARASACCHI, DOMENICORACCOLTA DELLE PRINCIPALI FONTANE DELL'INCLITTA CITTA DI ROMA Rome: G.B. de Rossi, 1647. (But not before 1651). 4to., engraved title page and 44 engraved plates, all mounted on strong laid paper and bound in a folio album of 19th century half blue calf, marbled boards, with the book plate and signature of P. Morey, architect, and the round library stamp of the Contessa Ana Laetitia Pecci-Blunt on the front pastedown, and the book plates of John and Michael Bury on the rear pastedownNote: Berlin Katalogue 3602. The original edition of Parasacchi's collection of engravings is here enlarged by 24 new plates engraved by Felice, except for one of the fountain of the Four Rivers in the Piazza Navona which is engraved by Pierre Miotte. As this latter fountain was not completed until 1651, this date provides a "terminus post quem" for the printing of this edition. The new plates by Felice are easily distinguished from Parasacchi's originals, as they are executed in a much more textured style and often include figures engaged in various games and pastimes. The Contessa Ana Laetitia Pecci-Blunt (1885-1971), collector, gallerist, philanthropist and patron of the arts, lived in Paris and Rome and numbered Salvador Dali, Cocteau, Paul Valéry, Francis Poulenc and Paul Claudel amongst her acquaintance. Her collection focused on prints, published works, drawings and paintings thematically focused upon the city of Rome. After her death in 1971, she donated her collection of drawings, watercolours, and paintings to the Museo di Roma, while her collection of prints and published works were sold and dispersed.

AMICO, BERNARDINOTRATTATO DELLE PIANTE & IMMAGINI DE SACRI EDIFIZI DI TERRA SANTA Florence: Pietro Cecconcelli, 1620. 2nd edition, folio, with an engraved title page within an architectural border, with 34 engraved plates with 46 (numbered 47) illustrations by Jacques Callot, inconsistent pagination, which sometimes includes the plates, large printer's device on verso of the last leaf, later vellum, over-lapping edges, neat repair to the lower outer corner of the title page, inner joints of a number of leaves strengthened, with the book plate of Jean Philibert Peysson de Bacot at the front, and those of John and Michael Bury on the rear pastedownNote: USTC 4004515. The drawings of the Franciscan Bernardino Amico of Gallipoli, Father Guardian of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, working with the rules of perspective introduced a new standard of naturalism and topographical veracity for the sites in the Holy Land. Many of the buildings now lost are described as they were still preserved at the turn of the sixteenth century. Rembrandt owned a copy of this edition and borrowed from it Amico's rendering of the Temple of Jerusalem as a domed octagonal building. The first edition was printed in Rome in 1609, but this is the first with the plates engraved by Jacques Callot. Jean Philibert Peysson de Bacot was an official in the Cour des Monnaies de Lyon in 1734 and Procureur in 175., He owned a library of some 1750 titled at the time of its sale in 1779.

Folio, with engraved and wood illustrations in the text, later half calf, marbled boards, bookshop label of Livraria Olisipo, Lisbon, and the book plates of John and Michael BuryNote: ESTC T97847. Skippon's work, with its own index, forms pp, 359-736 of volume 6, one of two new volumes to accompany a reissue of volumes 1 to 4 of A collection of voyages and travels compiled by Awnsham Churchill and John Churchill and originally issued in 1704. Skippon was the son of the Cromwellian major general, and a pupil of John Ray at Trinity College, Cambridge. He travelled with John Ray on the Continent from 1663 to 1666 and like Ray, published his memoirs of his journey. From August 1665 until February 1666, Ray and Skippon visited Montpellier where they met Martin Lister, as well as others of the expatriate group of virtuosi in Montpellier. Skippon's work gives great insights into the itinerary of Lister's return journey from Paris to Canterbury, Skippon was later responsible for helping Lister publish his first paper in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

(2)Note: Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548 -1616) was an Italian architect and a writer on architecture, active mainly in Vicenza and the Republic of Venice area in the second half of the 16th century. He was perhaps the most important figure there between Andrea Palladio, whose unfinished projects he inherited at Palladio's death in 1580, and Baldassarre Longhena, Scamozzi's only pupil. Scamozzi's influence spread far beyond his Italian commissions through his two-volume treatise, L'Idea dell'Architettura Universale, which is one of the last works of the Renaissance dealing with the theory of architecture.

Some of those books were later sent to Ben Damph ..

William King was a descendant of Peter King, 1st Baron King, (1669-1734), John Locke's cousin.When Locke died in 1704, at the age of 72, he left half his library of over 3,000 books and all his papers and letters, to his cousin, the Lord Chancellor, Peter King. In 1942 the then Earl of Lovelace deposited the manuscripts in the Bodleian Library Oxford, who purchased the collection in 1947. The present library catalogue of East Horsley Towers and the more rudimentary listing of books that appear to have been transferred to Ben Damph, an estate in Torridon, will be of interest to those researching the constituents of Locke's library.
