Edmond Hoyle (1672 – 29 August 1769)[1] was an English writer best known for his works on the rules and play of card games.

Provenance: Library book of J W Rimington-Wilson inscribed on pastedown – Sold London 1929, on behalf of his son R.H Rimington-Wilson by Bernard Quaritch Ltd 11 Grafton Street, New Bond Street, W.1, lot number 386. The basic manual of the game of chess, until the advent of Ruy Lopez. Born in Portugal to a family of Jewish origin, Pedro Damiano was a pharmacist by profession. Following the decree of expulsion of the Jews from his country issued in December 1496 by the sovereign Manuel I, he fled to Italy and here changed his name to the Italian version with which he is known throughout the world. In Italy Damiano wrote his famous manual Book to learn play a scachi et de li partyiti, which was published in Rome, in Italian, in 1512. The text went through eight editions in the sixteenth century. He dedicated the book to a gentleman expert in military art, the most excellent Signor Giovanni Giorgio Cesarino Romano. Damiano describes the rules of the game, already similar at the time, but not identical to the current ones (for example castling and taking en passant were missing), it offers advice on strategy, presents a selection of chess problems (the "parties" mentioned in the title) still very famous (see diagrams) and analyzes some openings. His theory of openings will later serve as the basis for subsequent reworkings, notably those made by the other great Iberian theorist of the sixteenth century, Monsignor Ruy López de Segura.
