Jabir ibn Hayyan. Kitab al-Safi min al-khamsumi'ah [and:] Jannat al-khuld, Near East, circa 1800, Arabic manuscript in black ink on laid paper, 26 leaves + 1 flyleaf, containing 2 texts transcribed by the same copyist and extracted from a larger volume, Kitab al-Safi occupying folio 1a line 22 to folio 22b line 14, Jannat al-khuld folio 22b line 15 to folio 26b line 6, naskh script, 23-4 lines to the page (except for folio 26: completed in a later nasta'liq hand and containing the beginning of a new text, Kitab al-Tadbir al-gharib, which continues onto folio 27), bound with [?Izniqi, 'Ali Shalabi al-], Kashf al-asrar fi-hatk al-astar, probably Ottoman territories, 18/19th century, a fragment, containing the conclusion of section (qism) 2, all of sections 3-4, and most of section 5, Arabic manuscript, black ink on laid paper, 37 leaves, nasta'liq script, 17 lines to the page, rubricated headings and underlining throughout the volume, profuse contemporary and later marginalia, stitching split in places, most openings sometime reinforced in gutter, Jabir's texts browned and with water-staining in upper outer corners obscuring a few headings, the Kashf al-asrar with closed tears to last few leaves (some repaired), staining, 19th-century red sheep backing cloth-covered pasteboards, worn, 8vo (20.5 x 14.5 cm) Provenance: Private Collection, England. Manuscript sammelband containing two alchemical texts attributed to Jabir ibn Hayyan (c. 721-815 CE) and a lengthy fragment from a 16th-century Ottoman astrological and alchemical treatise. The Kitab al-Safi ... ('The Pure Book among the Five Hundred') contains four chapters on the preparation of alchemical compounds. The Jannat al-khuld ('The Everlasting Garden') appears to describe the philosopher's stone ('al-hajr alladhi imtala'at minu hadhihi'l-dunya': 'the stone by which this world is sated'). The present sections of the Kashf al-asrar ... ('The Unveiling of Secrets and the Tearing of Veils') discuss elixirs and planetary conjunctions. National Library of Medicine MS A 70 contains a copy of Jannat al-khuld (item 2; 2 leaves); see Iskandar, A Descriptive List of Arabic Manuscripts on Medicine and Science at the University of California, Los Angeles, pages 23-7 for the contents, authorship and other manuscript copies of the Kashf al-asrar.

*Henry VIII (1491-1547, King of England). A near-contemporary copy of 'The last wyll and testament of Kynge Harry the eyghte 30 December 1546', undated, circa 1570, written in brown ink in a neat secretary hand, large decorative initial, small grotesque to inner margin of top line of folio 4r, laid paper with watermark of 'PM' within a crowned shield, small heraldic sketch of a unicorn's head to final blank with colour markings, plus three more sketchy horses or dog heads, some spotting and dust-soiling, final blank verso more heavily soiled and damp-stained and with small tear, minor fraying to edges close to but not affecting text, disbound without covers, evidence of leather remains to spine, 8 leaves including final blank, slim folio (300 x 205mm) The will was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury in April 1547. A comparison of this text with the registered copy (TNA PROB 11/31/247) shows many differences, omissions and incorrect transcriptions of words and the use of dialect forms (such as sarve for serve). This copy of the will is said to have formed part of Phillipps MS 13761 which notes that the volume included, inter alia, 'Testaments of H. 8 & H. 6' part of a collection of papers from the archive of Sir Henry St George (1581-1644), who served as Garter King of Arms in the last year of his life. Although such a provenance is borne out by the heraldic endorsements, and by the fact that hundreds of St George manuscripts were on the market in the 1730s and in 1846 (ODNB), the hand of this manuscript makes it hard to attribute its authorship to Sir Henry, and the same objection stands against his father Sir Richard St George (1554-1635), whose association with the College of Arms dates only from 1602 (ODNB). An old bookseller's typed description accompanying the lot states that the volume of manuscripts was acquired by Thomas Phillipps in 1852 from the manuscripts of Sir Henry St George, and listed among the St George manuscripts in 1697 in Bernard's Catalogi Lib. MSS. Angl. pars altera, no. 4217. The paper is watermarked PM within a crowned shield, several versions of which are included in C.M. Briquet, Les filigranes (Amsterdam, 1968) as 9637-9644, datable between 1545 and 1601. The closest match is 9641, datable 1567-1570, a period consistent with the hand. Such a date is supported by the presence of the grotesque beside the name of Princess Mary on the first line of folio 4, an adornment unlikely to have been made before November 1558. In a lengthy and pious introduction, the king accepts that 'every creature, the more high he is in estate, honour and authority in this world, the more he is bound to love, serve God and thank God and the more diligently to endeavour to [do] good and charitable works'.'Repenting also our old and detestable life', he invokes God and the Virgin Mary to 'pray for us and with us while we live here in this world and in time of passing out of it'. He desires burial 'in the choir of our college of Windsor, midway between the [stalls - blank in MS] and the high altar' in a tomb which is 'well one ward [recte toward] and almost made in which we will allow [recte will also] that the bones and body of our true [and] loving wife Queen Jane be put also'. 'The tombs and altars of king Harry the 6 and also of king Edward the fourth our great uncle and grandfather be made more princely'. Re-establishment of the Poor Knights of Windsor each to wear 'a long gown of white cloth with a garter upon the breast embroidered with a shield and a cross of St George with the garter and a mantle of red cloth'. Daughters 'shall not marry nor take any person to her husband without the assent and consent of the privy councillors and others appointed by us to our dearest son Prince Edward'.'seeing the fatherly love which we bear to our son Prince Edward and to this our realm we declare his [recte him] according to justice and equity and conscience to be our lawful heir and do and bequest unto him the succession of our realm of England and Ireland with our title of France and all other dominions both on this side [the seas] and beyond, charging him and commanding him on pain of our curse, seeing he hath so loving a father of us and that all our chief labour and study in this world [is] to establish him in the imperial crown of this realm after our days, in such sort as may be pleasing to God and to the wealth of this realm, and to his honour and quiet, that he be ordered and ruled, both in his marriage and also in ordering of the affairs of the realm, as well outward as inward, and also all his own privy affairs and in giving offices of charge by the advice and counsel of our right and entirely beloved counsellors'. 'Item we bequest to our daughter Mary and Elizabeth marriage[s], they being married to potentate by the advice of our foresaid counsellors, if we bestow not them in our own life time, ten thousand pounds in money, plate, jewels and household stuff for each of them or a larger sum at the discretions of our said executors'. This is the discussion of the will from the entry in Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (OUP, 2004) by Eric Ives: 'It was in the context of this final factional battle that Henry revised his last will and testament on 30 December 1546. It was authenticated by the dry stamp, a form of signature by proxy which Henry had introduced in 1545 to save himself trouble. This system was in theory open to abuse, but the will is undoubtedly genuine. Arguments that it was stamped only after the king became incapacitated, or even after he was dead, do not stand up to analysis. The king confirmed Edward as heir and after Edward, Mary and Elizabeth, though the girls were to lose their places in the succession if they married without the written permission of a majority of privy councillors. Next in line he put the Grey and Clifford families, descendants of Mary, his younger sister. The granddaughter of Henry's elder sister, Margaret-Mary, queen of Scots-was not mentioned, though presumably she qualified in the final remainder to the next rightful heirs. To govern the country during his son's minority, Henry nominated sixteen executors who were to function as Edward's privy council, and since sixteen might be too few for day-to-day business, he named a further twelve to be counsellors to the sixteen as and when required. Henry's will provoked discussion in the reigns of Mary and Elizabeth and also in modern times. Some historians have argued that because traditionalist and anti-traditionalist councillors were roughly equal in numbers, Henry's intention was to rule from the grave and preserve his individual religious policy.'

Demetre H. Chiparus (1886-1947) 'Antinea'. Impressive cold-painted and patinated bronze and ivory figure, circa 1928 on marble and onyx base, base marked Etling Paris 26½ in. (67.4 cm.) high. Queen Antinea was the grand-daughter of Neptune and Clito, the last Kings of Atlantis, and through Cleopatra Selene, also a descendent of the Ptolemies of Egypt. Antinea keeps an underground mausoleum of red marble with 120 alcoves where she keeps the numbered and labeled bodies of her former lovers, lost soldiers and explorers. The bodies have been preserved forever by being dipped into a metallic bath of sulphate of orichalcum, the famous, legendary metal of the Atlanteans. At the center of the room is an orichalcum throne where Antinea will eventually sit and rest for eternity once all the alcoves have been filled.Listed in art Deco Sculpture by Victor ArwasProvenance: Private local collection, by descent and in the same family for over 40 yearsPLEASE NOTE: THIS ITEM CONTAINS OR IS MADE OF IVORY.
