Dun was admitted a fellow of All Souls, Oxford, in 1567 and became principal of New Inn Hall in 1580. He rose rapidly through the ecclesiastical courts and from 1598 began also to receive instruction to 'inquire into delicate and complicated maritime matters' (ODNB), travelling to Bremen in 1602 to treat with Danish sailors on the Muscovy trade and other matters. He was later a justice of assize in north Wales. 'Historians habitually assess the importance of members of learned professions by what they wrote ... A moment's reflection, however, shows how inadequate a test of a lawyer's importance it is. Most lawyers do not write treatises: they act ... Dun never published a treatise, yet he was responsible for real accomplishments at a critical moment in the history of ecclesiastical law in England. He rose to high office, and he influenced the course of affairs in Church and state' (Helmholz, 'Sir Daniel Dun ( c 1545-1617)', Ecclesiastical Law Journal (2014), 16(2), p. 205). For another example of Dun's signature see Lambeth Palace Library MS 1748 ('Statutes of the Court of the Arches'), folio i recto. Beale T323; ESTC S122159; PMM 89; STC 3475; Sweet & Maxwell I p. 51.6. The foundational work of English common law and 'the most ambitious English legal work of the middle ages, apparently conceived on a grand scale as an overall survey and discussion of the whole of the common law as it was being applied in the king's courts in England, with supporting citations of actual decided cases, and the reproduction of writ and enrolment formulas currently in use' (ODNB).

Zachary Clifton returned with his family to England in 1651 during the Commonwealth era, and died in 1671. According to information received from Sue Allan, historian at Scrooby Manor, Richard Clifton's books may have found their way to Warwickshire, and into the ownership of his clergyman brother Zachary Clifton Jr. (born Amsterdam 1633, died Wasperton 1715). STC 5450; ESTC online (British Library, Cambridge University Trinity College, Lambeth Palace, Bodleian; Yale, Harvard, Union Theological Seminary New York, American Baptist Samuel Colgate Historical New York). Puritan radical Richard Clifton (circa 1553-1616) was the guiding light of the separatist church established at Scrooby Manor House in Nottinghamshire, now recognised as the congregation from which emerged the first Pilgrim Fathers. In 1586, Clifton became rector of All Saints Church, Badsworth, and continued in this role until 1605, during which time he provided spiritual guidance to William Brewster and William Bradford, both passengers on board The Mayflower in 1620, as well as John Robinson. Following an edict by King James I, in 1605, Clifton was declared non-conformist and expelled from the parsonage at Badsworth, and given refuge at William Brewster's home, the Manor House at Scrooby in Yorkshire. When the Authorities caught up with him, Clifton was ex-communicated, and he escaped persecution by emigrating, along with many of his followers, to Amsterdam in August 1608. Rare: no copy traced at auction. This copy particularly significant given the Clifton family provenance.

An extraordinary and newly discovered association copy throwing light on the career of one the principal actors in the scientific revolution of the 16th century. Rheticus was the sole pupil of Nicolaus Copernicus, and the meeting between the two at Frombork in 1539 is considered without question to mark 'the beginning of modern astronomy' (DSB XI p. 359). He is perhaps remembered chiefly for encouraging Copernicus finally to consent to the publication of De Revolutionibus (1543), and for seeing the work through the press at Nuremberg while Copernicus lay dying; but it was in fact Rheticus's own account of his teacher's system, the Narratio prima (1540), which was the first published exposition of Copernican heliocentrism. Basel printers Heinrich Petri (1508-1579) and son Sebastian (1546-1626) were distant relatives of Johann Petreius, printer of the first edition of De Revolutionibus . In 1566, five years after their printing of the present compilation, they issued the second edition of De Revolutionibus , which was the first also to contain the Narratio Prima . Rheticus was a prolific correspondent at the centre of European intellectual life in the mid-16th century, and a handful of books with his inscription are known to exist in libraries or are attested in surviving letters and other sources. The National Library of Sweden holds a copy of Sacrobosco's Sphera mundi and other texts (Venice: Giunta, 1518) which contains the similar inscription 'Ioachimo Rhaetico', also in Rheticus's hand (shelfmark Stockholm K. Bibl., 106A, Fol, RAR; see further Goddu, 'Copernicus's Annotations: Revisions of Czartoryski's "Copernicana"', Scriptorium , 58 (2), 2004. p. 207). The only other example of a book inscribed by Rheticus we trace in commercial records is the legendary Horblit-O'More-Beltrame copy of De Revolutionibus , presented to Andreas Aurifarber, which achieved a record price for a printed book relating to the history of science when it realised $473,000 at auction in 1989 (see Gingerich, An Annotated Census of Copernicus' De revolutionibus , I.117). Adams P2134 (under Proclus); Houzeau & Lancaster 767; Sabin 65940; Shirley, World 108 & British Isles 69; VD16 P 4970. First edition of this compendium of cosmographical treatises to include Johannes Honter's De Cosmographiae rudimentis , which here contains Honter's double-page cordiform world map and maps of Malta, Mallorca, Cyprus, southern Africa, Madeira, Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula (as well as the Persian Gulf), India, Java, Sri Lanka ('Taprobana') and elsewhere; the first edition of Honter's work, printed at Krakow in 1530, is exceptionally rare and was printed with a double-page world map only. Heinrich Petri had previously issued a compendium containing Proclus's work together with those of Cleomedes and Aratus in 1547; the present iteration, containing Honter's text, was reprinted in 1585.AMENDMENT 9/12/2019:One party has noted that the inscription can also be read as ‘To Joachim Rhaeticus’, in the dative case, and that the inscription is not necessarily in Rheticus’s autograph.Additional information including images of other known inscriptions which in our opinion supports our attribution can be provided to bidders on request.
