Vintage Champion Bronco Buster California Brass Belt Buckle by Tiffany Studios, New York, stamped Tiffany & Co. Well, apparently, Tiffany and Co. never made Belt buckles. These imposter pieces were created in the 1960s or so, made to look like they from the mid-19th Century, and were sold as authentic. What is surprising, is that even after their cover was blown, collectors still wanted them. There were even reproductions, meaning there were fake, fake belt buckles. Well, if my research is correct, the markings on the back, the Tiffany & Co stamp, marks this as an authentic fake, if that makes sense. Tiffany Studios New York is also marked near the loop. Whatever the case, it is a cool belt buckle, depicting a Bronco riding Champion in the midst of completion. Measuring approx. 3 15/16 by 2 3/8, this buckle is in very good condition, showing only very minor wear from age and possible use. Overall, a good looking Belt Buckle, with an interesting story and history. Perfect for collectors of unique belt buckles. Would certainly make for a good conversation piece. Good condition.

NO RESERVE Doni Anton Francesco. L'Academia peregrina e i Mondi sopra le medaglie del Doni... (Al colophon:) In Vinegia: Per Francesco Marcolini, 1552. [INSIEME CON:] Inferni... Libro secondo dei Mondi. In Vinegia: Per Francesco Marcolini, 1553.In-4° (mm 190x140). Carte 120, [4]. Con 54 illustrazioni xilografiche nel testo, molte a piena pagina, e una vignetta xilografica ad ognuno dei quattro frontespizi presenti nell'opera. Lievi arrossature, qualche traccia di sporco e brunitura. Legatura settecentesca in mezza pelle, piatti rivestiti in carta marmorizzata. Dorso staccato alla cerniera anteriore. SI AGGIUNGE: Id. Inferni... Libro secondo dei Mondi. In Vinegia: Per Francesco Marcolini, 1553. In-4° (mm 200x155). Pagine 224, [8]. Marche xilografiche ai quattro frontespizi e numerose illustrazioni xilografiche nel testo. Tracce di sporco al frontespizio, gora al margine inferiore dei primi fascicoli e qualche arrossatura. Esemplare senza legatura. Timbri a secco e in inchiostro al frontespizio e al verso dello stesso della Harvard University Library, con timbro di deaccessione.Prima edizione di entrambi i volumi che formano le due parti di cui si compongono i Mondi del Doni. L'opera, considerata una delle prime utopie rinascimentali italiane è sicuramente debitrice dell'Utopia di Thomas More, che proprio il Doni aveva pubblicato nella traduzione di Ortensio nel 1548. Nel dialogo tra Savio e Pazzo l'autore "costruisce un'utopia senza illusioni per un mondo 'mescolato', in cui 'tutte le partite si fanno equali', in assenza di un'intelligenza regolatrice e di un'utilizzazione razionale e naturale dei beni prodotti dal lavoro dell'uomo. La società disegnata dal D. si colloca in un'immagine urbanistica radiale che è essa stessa un'utopia, esemplata sullo stile delle città ideali, delle fortezze, degli apparati delle feste e del teatro del tempo" (DBI, s.v.). La maggior parte delle incisioni del primo libro sono le stesse del capolavoro Le Sorti del Marcolini, stampato nel 1540 mentre al recto di carta S3 è stampata la xilografia di Tiziano raffigurante l'Aretino e la Sirena preparata per le Stanze del 1537. Al verso di carta A4 (e ripetuta altre tre volte) è stampato il celeberrimo legno raffigurante Dante, Petrarca e Boccaccio tratto dalle Prose antiche di Dante, Petrarcha et Boccaccio, compilato ed edito dallo stesso Doni a Firenze nel 1547. Per gli Inferni sono riutilizzate invece molte delle xilografie preparate per la splendida edizione del Marcolini della Comedia del 1544. Adams D-825; Mortimer Italian, 166.4° (190x140 mm). [4], 120 leaves. With 54 woodcut illustrations in the text, some full-page, and one woodcut vignette on each title pages of the work. Light foxing, soiled and browning. Eighteenth-century half-leather, marbled paper on the covers. Detached spine on the upper hing. ADDING: Id. Inferni... Libro secondo dei Mondi. In Vinegia: Per Francesco Marcolini, 1553. 4° (200x155 mm). 224, [8] pages. Woodcut printer's device on title pages and numerous woodcut illustrations in the text. Soiled the title page, waterstain on the lower margin of the first quires and some foxing. Without binding. Blind-tooled and ink stamps on title page and on the verso of the title page Harvard University Library stamp. First edition of both volumes componing the two parts by which are composed the Mondi del Doni. The work, considered one of the first italian renaissance utopias is certainly debtor of the Utopia by Thomaso More, which Doni himself published in the Ortensio translation of 1548.

Minor spots and stains to covers and spine. Ownership stamp to the verso of the rear flyleaf 'Prof. Giuseppe Franchini'. Famous counterfeit, appeared only few months after the original first edition of 1651, of Harvey's most important work on conception, embryology, and birth, the text of the chapter De partu being the first original English work on obstetrics. "After the publication of De motu cordis, Harvey turned his attention to the study of generation. Even if Harvey had not discovered the circulation of the blood, his remarkable work on embryology would have placed him in the front ranks of biological scientists. Without benefit of the compound microscope, his work was necessarily limited; nevertheless, nothing comparable had been done since Aristotle. He disbelieved the previously held doctrine of 'preformation' of the fetus, maintaining instead that it proceeds from the ovum by gradual building up of its parts" (Heirs of Hippocrates, 271). Garrison-Morton, 6146: "The chapter on labour ("De partu") in this book represents the first original work on obstetrics to be published by an English author."
