Die Platte der Radierung wurde nach Fertigstellung des Werks vernichtet. - Seltene Sammlung poetischer Aphorismen über die Rolle des Dichters in Faksimile-Handschrift. Der Titel "La Bibliothèque est en feu" ist René Chars Vergangenheit als Résistance-Kämpfer entlehnt. Es handelte sich nämlich um eine verschlüsselte Nachricht von Radio London, die Hauptmann Alexandre alias René Char einen Fallschirmabwurf von Containern ankündigte, die er in der Nähe von Céreste abholen sollte. Einer der Container fing tatsächlich Feuer und löste einen schrecklichen Brand aus. - Komplett mit dem lose beiliegendem Ankündigungsblatt des Verlegers. - Titel mit etwas Abklatsch der Radierung.

The title "La Bibliothèque est en feu" is borrowed from René Char's past as a Resistance fighter. It was in fact a coded message from Radio London announcing to Captain Alexandre, alias René Char, a parachute drop of containers he was to pick up near Céreste. One of the containers actually caught fire and started a terrible blaze. - Complete with the publisher's announcement sheet loosely enclosed.

Baumdiagrammen, Tabellen und Tuschezeichnungen. 1740-41. 166, 126, 173 S. Gr.-8°. Restaurierter Ldr. d. Zt. (etwas berieben). Das allegorische Frontispiz stellt den heiligen Benedikt dar, der vor der Heiligen Schrift kniet und von der Sphäre des Wissens erleuchtet wird. - Manuskript auf Papier für den Gebrauch in einer benediktinischen Institution, verfasst in Latein. Die zahlreichen Illustrationen sind im Text beschriftet und erläutert und die Akribie, mit der die Figuren gezeichnet und beschrieben wurden, legt die These eines für Publikationszwecke vorbereiteten Manuskripts nahe. - Dieses wichtige Werk besteht aus drei Teilen: Scholastik, Metaphysik, Physik. Der physikalische Teil ist mit wunderbaren Federzeichnungen illustriert, die wissenschaftliche Instrumente, verschiedene Experimente (Vakuum, Flüssigkeitsdynamik, etc.), Armillarsphären, Beschreibung meteorologischer Phänomene, Baumzucht und verschiedene kosmologische Systeme darstellen. Dieser Teil weist ein offensichtliches wissenschaftliches Interesse auf, wie die Tafel 7 auf Seite 92 zeigt, die den Fortschritt der Erkenntnisse über die physikalische Natur des Vakuums sowie die Experimente von Boyle, Toriccelli und Huyghens über die Schwerkraft der Luftmasse beschreibt. - Vereinzelte gelöste Blätter bzw. Montierungen. Stellenweise wurmgängig. Ein Blatt eingerissen. Am Ende etwas wasserrandig u. mit etwas sporfleckig.

Illustrated with numerous tree diagrams, tables, some of them folding, and pen-and-ink drawings, captioned and explained in the text. This important (professorial?) work consists of three parts: scholasticism, metaphysics, physics, the physical part being illustrated with interesting pen drawings representing scientific instruments, various experiments (vacuum, fluid dynamics, etc.), cosmological systems. The meticulousness with which the figures have been drawn and described suggests the possibility of a manuscript prepared for publishing purposes. The last part, physics, particularly illustrated (armillary spheres, various cosmological systems, scientific instruments, description of meteorological phenomena, arboriculture) offers an obvious scientific interest, witness plate 7 on page 92 describing the progress of knowledge concerning the physical nature of the vacuum as well as the experiments of Boyle, Toriccelli and Huyghens on the gravity of the mass of the air. - In a contemporary, restored binding in full basane. Isolated detached leaves or mounted pieces of paper. Some worming in places. One leaf with tear. At the end somewhat waterstained and with some mould stains. Some marginal tears. - Extraordinary document of the scientific and philosophical education in the 18th century.

Also included are a plan with the "Verfahren für den continuierlichen Tunnelbau" and a plan with drawings of mechanical details. The scale of each is 1:10,000. - The Berlin subway was opened in 1902 as an elevated and subway line for passenger traffic. Initially still mostly constructed above ground, only the Potsdamer Platz station with a short tunnel section in front of it and the line on Charlottenburg territory with its stations Wittenbergplatz and Zoologischer Garten were constructed underground. - Somewhat creased, the maps partly with small tears in the fold, overall well-preserved and interesting collection of documents.

August 1566 datiert ist. Enthält eine kurze Ansprache an den Leser von Ioannes Sturm. Die Bücher 1 und 5 wurden von Christianus Herlinus herausgegeben; nach seinem Tod wurden 2, 3, 4 und 6 von Contadus Dasypodius vervollständigt. Die euklidischen Definitionen und Erklärungen sind in griechischer Sprache gehalten und verwenden wahrscheinlich den Text aus Dasypodius' Straßburg 1564b/Straßburg 1564/Straßburg 1564a. Die Blöcke für die Diagramme aus dieser Reihe von Ausgaben werden wiederverwendet (für Band 1 wurden sie erstmals in Straßburg 1538 verwendet und in Straßburg 1559 wiederverwendet). Die lateinische Übersetzung dieser Materie und der Beweise basiert auf derjenigen der Ausgaben von 1564 für die Bücher 1 und 2, aber die Beweise sind in der Länge gekürzt und durch Beweise in Syllogismen ergänzt worden, die offensichtlich neu sind. Der Band enthält auch Register und einen abschließenden Kommentar. - Durchgehend etwas gebräunt, stellenweise etwas fleckig oder stockfleckig, einige alte Notizen, Marginalien und feine Unterstreichungen von alter Hand in Tinte, erster Titel mit Besitzvermerken von Justus Jungmann und Heinrich Jungmann sowie Schenkungsvermerk von Christian Distelmeier an Rudolph Goclenius, Innengelenke mit kl. Wurmspuren, Innenfalz am Titel verstärkt, sonst ingesamt gut erhalten. First edition of Platon in Greek by Heinrich Petri in Basle, edited by Marcus Hopper and based on the edition of Grynaeus of 1534. - With woodcut printer's mark and woodcut initials. Contemp. half pigskin with spine label, boards covered with manuscript on vellum (rubbed, bumped, soiled, some wormholes, small defects to covering, vellum heavily browned). - Bound with: Euclid. As listed above. With woodcut printer's mark, head- and tailpieces and woodcut diagrams within text. - Rare edition of Euclid by Conradus Dasypodius and Christianus Herlinus addressed in print to the senate of Schaffhausen and dated 10 August 1566. Contains a brief address to the reader by Ioannes Sturm. Books 1 and 5 were edited by Christianus Herlinus, after his death 2, 3, 4 and 6 were completed by Contadus Dasypodius. The Euclidean definitions and enunciations are given in Greek and probably use the text from Dasypodius' Strasbourg 1564b/Strasbourg 1564/Strasbourg 1564a. The blocks for the diagrams from that set of editions are re-used (for volume 1 these were first used in Strasbourg 1538 and re-used in Strasbourg 1559). The Latin translation of this matter, and of the proofs, is based on that of the 1564 editions for books 1 and 2, but the proofs are reduced in length and supplemented by proofs in syllogisms, which are apparently new. The volume also contains indexes and a concluding commentary. - Some browning throughout, some spotting or foxing in places, a few old notes, marginalia and fine underlining by old hand in ink, first title with ownership notes by Justus Jungmann and Heinrich Jungmann as well as donation note by Christian Distelmeier to Rudolph Goclenius, inner joints with small worm traces, inside fold reinforced at title, otherwise overall good condition.

TRÉPIED RITUEL EN FER DAMASQUINÉ ARGENT ET ORTIBET ORIENTAL, DERGÉ, XVE/XVIE SIÈCLE Himalayan Art Resources item no. 205044 98 cm (38 5/8 in.) highFootnotes:A SILVER AND GOLD DAMASCENED IRON RITUAL TRIPOD STAND EASTERN TIBET, DERGE, 15TH/16TH CENTURY 藏東 更慶鎮 十五/十六世紀 鐵鋄金銀三足供架 Tripod stands such as these had a multitude of purposes, as the illustrations in the Gold Manuscript from the Fournier Collection in The Secret Visions of the Great Fifth Dalai Lama reveal. The images depict tripods of this kind holding torma offerings, bumpas, kapalas, and in some cases show implements balanced on top of one another. Clearly used for tantric rituals and empowerment ceremonies, this tripod stand favors a style closely associated to the Ming court. Like other iron implements included in this sale in the damascened style of Eastern Tibet, the entire surface of the legs are covered in gold and silver inlays of scrolling foliate designs. The upper rim which would have held the offerings in place is trimmed in a geometric motif, while churning waves define the ends of the three cabriole legs. Wrathful faces are inlaid along the edges of the legs with the tops surmounted by three silver skull-heads, all of which indicate a conflated Tibeto-Chinese style. Tripod stands of this kind are known as early as the 9th/10th centuries as indicated from a painting from Dunhuang. Their use in ritual offerings is documented in paintings, as seen in a 14th-century painting of Amitabha which shows in the lower right corner the eight auspicious symbols atop tripods with a kneeling donor figure to the side (HAR 60680). Another iron and damascened tripod is illustrated in Thurman & Weldon, Sacred Symbols: The Ritual Art of Tibet, New York, 1999, fig. 66.Published:Natalie Bazin, Rituels tibétains: Visions secrètes du Vème Dalaï Lama, Paris, 2002, p. 167, no. 141.Exhibited:Rituels tibétains: Visions secrètes du Vème Dalaï Lama, Musée Guimet, Paris, 6 November 2002 - 24 February 2003.Provenance:Christie's, New York, 17 October 2001, lot 131.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
