After Lorenzo Fries, French, late 15th/early 16th century- "Tabula Terre Sanctae"; woodcut map with later hand colouring, this probably publ. 1535 by Melchoir and Gaspar Trechsel, with text to the reverse, 30x44cm Note: The 1522 edition of Fries work is very rare, suggesting that the work was not commercially successful. In 1525, an improved edition was issued, with a re-edit of the text by Wilibald Pirkheimer, from the notes of Johannes Regiomontanus. After Grüninger`s death in 1531, the business was continued by his son Christoph, who seems to have sold the materials for the Ptolemy to two Lyon publishers, the brothers Melchior and Gaspar Trechsel, who published a joint edition in 1535, before Gaspar Trechsel published an edition in his own right in 1541.

DU MAURIER DAPHNE: (1907-1989) British Author. T.L.S., Daphne, (a somewhat small, cramped signature), two pages, 8vo, Menabilly, Par, Cornwall, 30th December 1963, to 'My dear' (Foy Quiller-Couch). Du Maurier informs her correspondent that 'The last of the family has just driven off - Tessa and brood….and we are alone', further adding 'I am praying the Guardsman won't falter. He has been splendid right through Christmas, despite noises of football, television, thumps and bangs overhead all the time, and everyone was very cheerful' She continues 'The only thing is G'sman is treating his crime as if he were Profumo, and has resigned from every Club or Organisation he has ever joined; if it were 50 years ago we would be leaving for darkest Africa under an assumed name. I can't help feeling this is rather exaggerated, and makes the Clubs he resigns from feel more embarrassed than he does….I can forsee so many difficulties of getting to and fro that it would be almost simpler to end our days as Mr and Mrs Brown on the Continent. I turn to your Map-Magnifier in all hopes of finding some undistinguished spot on the Globe where we can hide our shame.' A letter of interesting content. VG In writing of 'G[uard]sman' Du Maurier refers to her husband, Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Browning (1896-1965) British Army Officer of World War II who played a significant role in Operation Market Garden. In 1963 he caused a scandal when, under the influence of prescription drugs and alcohol, he was involved in an automobile accident in which two people were injured. Du Maurier of course also refers to John Profumo (1915-2006), the British Politician who was famously involved in a scandal involving a prostitute, also in 1963, in what became known as the Profumo Affair. Du Maurier is right when she states that she feels her husband's misdemanour is 'rather exaggerated'; Browning was fined £50 and ordered to pay court and medical costs, Profumo's actions, however, helped to topple the Conservative Government of Prime Minister Harold Macmillan. Foy Quiller-Couch - daughter of British writer Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), and a life-long friend of Du Maurier. Indeed, Du Maurier was accompanied by Foy Quiller-Couch when she became inspired with the storyline for her novel Jamaica Inn. Some years previously the two ladies were staying at Jamaica Inn and went riding on Bodmin Moor. They became lost in bad weather conditions and apparently sheltered for some time in a derelict cottage on the moor but were eventually led back to Jamaica Inn by their horses.
