Giovanni Botero. Allgemeine Historische Weltbeschreibung ... in vier Bücher abgetheilt: Im ersten wirdt Europa, Asia, Affrica, vnd die Sitten ..., im andern wirdt die Macht..., im dritten wirdt gehandlet von dem Standt deß Glaubens ..., im vierten von den Aberglauben der Völcker der Newen Welt. 4 Teile in 1 Bd. Mit Titel in Rot und Schwarz und Holzschnittvignette sowie 5 doppelblattgroßen Kupferstichkarten. München, N. Henricus für A. Hierat, 1611. 10 Bll., 471 S. 4°. Flexibler Pgt. d. Zt. mit hs. RTitel u. fragmentarisch erhaltenem RSchild (berieben, bestoßen, etw. fleckig, die Schließbänder entfernt). Staatsbibliothek Berlin: Kriegsverlust. - VD 17 23:233078R. - Alden 611.6. - JCB II, S. 74. - Borba de Moraes (1983), S. 113. - Dünnhaupt 34.1. - Sabin 6808. - Erste vollständige deutsche Ausgabe mit Karten von Quad. Zuvor erschien 1596 eine Ausgabe in Köln, welche jedoch nur die Tle. I-II der 1591 erschienenen Originalausgabe enthält. - "Topographisch-historische Darstellung der gesamten damals bekannten Welt. Der schon 1507 von Martin Waldseemüller geprägte Name "America" hat bei Albertinus ein Jahrhundert später den Ausdruck "Newe Welt" offenbar noch immer nicht verdrängt" (Dünnhaupt). Teil I behandelt die Alte Welt, die Teile II u. III handeln von Herrschern und dem Christentum, der IV. Teil widmet sich dem Aberglauben, in welchem die Völcker der Newen Welt leben" sowie der Geschichte der christlichen Mission in Südamerika. Die detaillierten Karten von Johann Bussemacher (für Matthias Quad, erstmals 1596) zeigen die Welt (Shirley 197, 2. Zustand ab 1600), Europa, Asien, Afrika und Nordamerika (Novi orbis pars borealis, Burden 133 Anm.: "There is only one known state"). Bei der Karte von Nordamerika handelt es sich weitgehend um eine verkleinerte Version von AMERICAE PARS BOREALIS von Cornelius de Jode. De Jode war der erste, der die Ostküstenkartographie sowohl von John White als auch von Jacques le Moyne nutzte, wenngleich er sie ungenau platzierte. Quad setzt hier zudem den Fehler fort, die Nomenklatur von Virginia zu weit nördlich zu platzieren. Eine lange schmale Wasserstraße im Norden ermutigt den Glauben an eine Nordwestpassage ... Eine merkwürdige "zweite" Halbinsel wird westlich von Florida gezeigt, die eine frühe Darstellung des Mississippi-Deltas sein könnte ..." (Burden 82) - Botero war einer der größten Wirtschaftswissenschafter des 16. Jahrhunderts. Als er dieses Werk 1592 schrieb galt es über ein Jahrhundert als eine der besten geografischen Schriften mit Beschreibung Amerikas im IV. Teil. Es wurde in mehrere Sprachen übersetzt. - Wenige Bll. im Randbereich etw. stockfleckig, insgesamt wohlerhalten. 4 parts in 1 vol. With title in red and black and woodcut vignette as well as 5 double sheet copper engraved maps. Contemp. flexible vellum with handwritten spine title and fragmentary preserved spine label (rubbed, bumped, slightly stained, the closing bands removed). - First complete German edition with maps by Quad. Previously, an edition was published in Cologne in 1596, which only contains the parts I and II of the original edition published in 1591. - "Topographical-historical representation of the entire then known world. The name "America", already expressed by Martin Waldseemüller in 1507, has apparently not yet displaced the expression "Newe Welt" in Albertinus' work a century later" (Dünnhaupt). Part I deals with the "Old World", Parts II and III deal with emperors and Christianity, and Part IV is devoted to the "superstitions in which the peoples of the New World live" and the history of the Christian mission in South America. The detailed maps by Johann Bussemacher (for Matthias Quad, first 1596) show the world (Shirley 197, 2nd state from 1600), Europe, Asia, Africa and North America (Novi orbis pars borealis , Burden 133 note: "There is only one known state"). The map of North America is largely a reduced version of AMERICAE PARS BOREALIS by Cornelius de Jode. De Jode was the first to use the east coast cartography of both John White and Jacques le Moyne, although he placed them inaccurately. Quad also continues here the error of placing the nomenclature of Virginia too far north. A long narrow waterway to the north encourages belief in a Northwest Passage ... A curious "second" peninsula is shown west of Florida, which may be an early representation of the Mississippi Delta ..." (Burden 82) - Botero was one of the greatest economists of the 16th century. When he wrote this work in 1592, it was considered one of the best geographical writings describing America in Part IV for over a century. It was translated into several languages. - A few pages with some foxing in the margins, overall in good condition.

Zoologie - - Eberhard August Wilhelm Zimmermann. Geographische Geschichte des Menschen und der allgemein verbreiteten vierfüßigen Thiere, nebst einer hierher gehörigen zoologischen Weltcharte. Mit 2 gestoch. (ident.) TVignetten u. 1. gefalt., tls. handkol. gestoch. Karte. Leipzig, Weygand, 1778-1783. 8 Bl., 308 S., 1 Bl. (Anz.). 4 Bl., 432 S. 5 Bl., 278 S. 32 S. 8°. Pp. d. Zt. mit RSchild (berieben u. bestoßen). Stark erweiterte deutsche Ausgabe nach der lateinischen Erstausgabe von 1777 basierend auf zusätzlichen Quellen und einer aktualisierten, tiergeographischen "Tabula mundi geographico zoologica sistens quadrupedes hucusque notos sedibus suis adscirptos" bezeichneten Karte (ca. 47 x 66 cm). Diese im Anhang des letzten Teils von Band drei mit separatem Titelblatt: "Kurze Erklärung der zoologischen Weltcharte ...". Ursprünglich unter einem anderen Titel in Zimmermanns 'Specimen zoologiae geographicae, Quadrupedum domicilia et migrationes sistens' (Leiden, 1777) veröffentlicht, spiegelt diese Weltkarte von 360° einige aktualisierte geographische Daten wider, darunter James Cooks Entdeckung der Sandwich-Inseln (Hawaii). Es sind jedoch nur die grundlegendsten Ortsnamen angegeben. Es ist die Hinzufügung und geographische Platzierung der lateinischen Namen von Vierbeinern, die die Karte von allen zuvor veröffentlichten Karten unterscheidet. Castor (Biber) zum Beispiel taucht im gesamten nördlichen Nordamerika auf, Leo (Löwe) in Afrika und Kanguro (Känguru) im Nordosten Australiens, wo Cooks Männer es zum ersten Mal sahen. Obwohl die Karte in Stil und Genauigkeit sehr rudimentär ist, markiert sie einen vielversprechenden Moment in der Geschichte der thematischen Kartierung. - Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann (1743-1815) lehrte Mathematik und Naturgeschichte am Collegium Carolinum im ehemaligen Herzogtum Braunschweig in Mitteldeutschland. Einer seiner Schüler war Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777-1855), der zu einem der einflussreichsten Mathematiker der Geschichte wurde. Zimmermann reiste durch ganz Europa, um die wirtschaftlichen Bedingungen und natürlichen Ressourcen zu studieren. Heute gilt er als einer der Begründer der Tierzoogeographie. - 2 Titel verso mit rasiertem Stempel (davon 1 mit kl. Fehlstellen in der TVign.), papierbedingt gebräunt, tls. wenig fleckig, einige Anm. mit Bleistift im Rand. Zoology - With 2 engraved title vignettes and 1 folded, partly handcoloured engraved map. Contemp. cardboad with label to spine (rubbed and bumped). - Much enlarged German edition after the Latin first edition of 1777, which was based on additional sources and updated the map. Last part of volume three with separate title page: "Kurze Erklärung der zoologischen Weltcharte ..." and with the animal geographic map "Tabula mundi geographico zoologica sistens quadrupedes hucusque notos sedibus suis adscirptos" (47 x 66 cm). Originally published under a different title in Zimmermann's Specimen zoologiae geographicae, Quadrupedum domicilia et migrationes sistens (Leiden, 1777), this 360° world map reflects some updated geographical data, including James Cook's discovery of the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii). However, only the most basic place names are given. It is the addition and geographical placement of the Latin names of quadrupeds that distinguishes the map from all previously published maps. Castor (beaver), for example, appears throughout northern North America, Leo (lion) in Africa and Kanguro (kangaroo) in north-eastern Australia, where Cook's men first saw it. Although the map is very rudimentary in style and accuracy, it marks a promising moment in the history of thematic mapping. Eberhard August Wilhelm von Zimmermann (1743-1815) taught mathematics and natural history at the Collegium Carolinum in the former Duchy of Brunswick in central Germany. One of his students was Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777-1855), who became one of the most influential mathematicians in history. Zimmermann travelled throughout Europe to study economic conditions and natural resources. Today he is considered one of the founders of animal zoogeography. - 2 titles with shaved stamp on verso (1 of which with small missing part in title vignette), browned due to paper, partly somewhat stained, some annotations in pencil in margin.

Omega. A rare and desirable stainless steel manual wind chronograph bracelet watch made for the Italian marketModel: Speedmaster Apollo SoyuzReference: ST 145.022, Limited Edition No.159Date: Manufactured 3rd May 1976, Purchased 29th May 1980Movement: 17-jewel Cal.861 manual wind, No.39181308Dial: Black, Apollo Soyuz logo at 12, luminous baton hour markers, white outer 1/5th second divisions, subsidiary dials at 3, 6 and 9 for seconds, 30 minute and 12 hour recording, white pointed baton hands with luminous inserts, centre secondsCase: Brushed and polished tonneau form, screw down back engraved Gemini Apollo Союз, shouldered crown flanked by twin pushers, tachymetre to bezelStrap/Bracelet: Fitted brushed 1168 Omega linkBuckle/Clasp: Signed folding claspSigned: Case, dial & movement Size: 41mm Accompaniments: Receipt dated 29/5/80, Omega service case, Extract from the Archives, spare parts replaced during serviceFootnotes:On the 17th of July 1975, in the depths of the Cold War, space became the meeting point of two of the space faring nations, the United States of America and the Soviet Union. Every Astronaut and Cosmonaut were equipped with an Omega Speedmaster Professional and in the case of Alexey Loenov, two. To celebrate this, in 1976 the Jeweller De Marchi of Turin took delivery of a group of special celebratory Apollo Soyuz watches with the mission badge on the dial and a special embossed case back depicting the Saturn Rocket on a map of the world. The back was also lightly engraved with the limited edition number, an I for Italy and an Ω.The present watch was bought new in 1980 at a large discount when it is possible that the Italian market was a difficult place to sell this particular piece. It was soon inherited by the present owner who left it unused in a draw for many years and only sporadically wearing it. For this reason, the dial is in excellent condition with virtually no UV damage. Very few of these original pieces were created and they have been celebrated ever since with anniversary editions being produced at 20, 25 and 30 years.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
