3 • ANDRADE DE FIGUEREDO, MANOEL DE.

Nova escola para aprender a ler, escrever & contar... Primeyra parte (all published) Lisboa Occidental, na Officina de Bernardo da Costa de Carvalho, (n.d. but 1722). (12ff ), 156 pp. With engraved portrait of the author and 45 engraved plates (1 unnumbered, signed Andrade and 44 numbered plates). Original half calf, marbled boards. Some old handwriting on several pages, some plates cut a bit short and some soiling and old repairs to the paper. Without the engravedplate showing Lisbon and the royal coat-of arms that is lacking in many copies. Still a good copy of a rare work. 3.500 € * The first Portuguese calligraphy manual. Its fame rests on the style of writing invented by Andrade de Figueiredo, which was based on that of the Spanish master Morante and became widely taught in Portuguese schools during the reign of D. José

I. Andrade de Figueiredo’s work follows the style of the great Italian masters in its use of clubbed ascenders and descenders, and of Diaz Morante, the famous Spanish writing master, in its very elaborate show of command of hand. By his contemporaries he was know as the ‘Morante portugues’ (Ekström). At least three issues of this influential manual were published by the same publisher, all without a date and distinguishable by a typographic details and vignette decoration of the titlepage. [c.f. Bonacini 66; Jammes 49; Ekström p. 32f; Borba de Moraes I.311].

4 • ANDROUET DU CERCEAU.

Livre d’architecture... contenant les plans et dessaigns de cinquante bastiments tous différens: pour instruire ceux qui desirent bastir, soyent de petit, moyen, ou grand estat. Avec declaration des membres & commoditez, & nombres des toisses, qui contient chacun bastiment, dont l’elevation des faces est figuree sur chacun plan. Paris, Jean Berjon, 1611. Folio. (16 ff.), 69 plates. A washed copy, uncut, mounted on stubs, in a modern halfvellum binding. A good copy. 5.800 € * Third French edition of this important work. The first edition was published in 1559. Jacques Androuet du Cerceau (1510 ? - 1584) was the founder and best known of a family of French architects, engravers, and decorators who worked in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. He is believed to have traveled to Italy during 1530 to 1533, where he studied both the ancient and modern architecture of Rome. In addition, it is certain that he made one or two trips to Italy in the entourage of Cardinal Georges d’Armagnac between 1539 and 1544, when he would

have become familiar with the work on Vitruvius being done by Guillaume Philander at the Accademia delle Virtù. The present work is the most theoretical of all of Androuet du Cerceau’s publications, and the first produced in connection with the royal family. He supplies models and instruction for the designs of fifty town houses on estates of varying sizes, depending on economic and social scale. Both a Latin (De architectura) and a French version were published. This must be seen as the first wholly French publication of French architecture in the new classical style, and the first attempt to systematize French building practice. Androuet du Cerceau’s intention, stated in the dedication to Henry II, was “to serve princes, aristocracy, people of middle and small estate in France, each according to his capacity and faculty” as well as “to enrich and embellish the Kingdom so that subjects will have no occasion to travel in foreign lands to see others better composed”. The work was meant to be a practical reference book. It includes a description of the parts and functions of each of the fifty models, and the areas and elevations for each building. Androuet du Cerceau also includes separate estimates of the amount of masonry used and of the expenses for carpentry, roofing, glazing, tile work, and interior finishes. For his last two models he produces several fanciful elabrorations on symmetrical compositions. His only commentary about the plates is found in the brief notes that precede them, and relates only to measurement. This pragmatic information was for the benefit of the mason and for the owner to use in figuring the cost of the home. Many of the plans are practical and were probably copied and widely used in Paris during the second half of the sixteenth century. Some of the grander plans, however, show Du Cerceau’s creative fantasy at work; these include homes designed around geometrical forms (circle, triangle, pentagon). [c.f. Millard, French # 5 for the Latin and # 6 for the French edition; Fowler p. 17 for the Latin edition]

He also was a Correspondent of the Imperial Academy of Science in St. Petersburg. The plates are dated from 1783 to 1790. The majority were engraved by José Lúcio da Costa; four were engraved by Manuel da Silva Godinho. Xavier Costa, Bibliografia Artistica Portuguesa, 124 says: “The 25 prints that it carries represent several specimens of calligraphy and ornamentation cleverly designed. Rare.” [c.f. Bonacini 93; Becer: Hofer Collection 146; Marzoli 72; Jammes 81; Hutton 5; Costa 124]

Don Alejandro María Aguado y Ramírez de Estenoz, 1st Marquis de Las Marismas del Guadalquivir (Seville, June 29, 1784 – Gijon, April 14, 1842), Spanish banker, was born of Old Christian parentage, originally from La Rioja, at Seville. He began life as a soldier, fighting with distinction in the Spanish War of Independence first against French, then on the side of Joseph Bonaparte. After the Battle of Baylen (1808) he entered the French army, in which he rose to be colonel and aide-de-camp to Marshal Soult. He was exiled in 1815, and immediately started business as a commission-agent in Paris, where, chiefly through his family connections in Havana and Mexico, he acquired in a few years enough wealth to enable him to undertake banking. The Spanish government gave him full powers to negotiate the loans of 1823, 1828, 1830 and 1831; and Ferdinand VII. rewarded him with the title of marquis, the decorations of several orders

and valuable mining concessions in Spain. Aguado also negotiated the Greek loan of 1834. In 1828, having become possessed of large estates in France, including the Château Margaux, famous for its wine, he was naturalized as a French citizen. He died at in Spain on April 14, 1842, leaving a fortune ‘computed at 60,000,000 francs, and a splendid collection of pictures which at his death was sold by auction.

14 • BERTRAND-QUINQUET (LOUIS-JACQUES FRANÇOIS DE PAULE).

Traité De L’Imprimerie. A Paris, chez Bertrand-Quinquet, Imprimeur, rue Germain-L’Auxerrois, no. 53, An VII (= 1798). Halftitle, title, Dedication à Pierre Didot, 2pp avertissement (= 8pp), 288pp + 10 plates (bound in from 10 to 1). Later 3/4 blue morocco, marbled boards. Restoration on title and page 237 old tear restored. A (light) waterstain in the lower part of plates 3-1 and pages 282 - 287 more or less soiled. An uncut copy with nice wide margins. 1.800 € * Bigmore & Wyman say about this work: “Twenty pages are devoted to the history of printing, the remainder of the book beigin of a practical nature. Bertrand, who died in 1808, is only remembered by this work, which is a very ingenious and well-written treatise on the origin, progress and mechanism of printing.” And Barbier in his French Letterpress printing says:

“A competent manual covering composition, presswork, organization of the shop, and inkmaking... The work was dedicated to ‘Pierre Didot, fils ainé, citoyen français, Premier imprimeur de l’Europe’, a phrase which was apparently resented by Bodoni. The Traité was also issued, the same year, as a belated part 20 of the Neuchâtel edition of the ‘Description des arts et métiers’ (1771-83) under the title of ‘L’art d’imprimer’.

15 • (BOOK PROSPECTUSES).

A collection of 75 Italian book prospectuses, from the late the eighteenth century and early nineteenth century. Various sizes, publishers and dates, but between 1753 and 1844 announcing books on all subjects. Among the books announced are books on architecture, travel, arts, Bodoni, theatre etc. etc. Some prospectuses disbound, but all in a good condition. Full description upon request. All of these scarce. 7.500 € * The prospectus (literally ‘preview’) is among the oldest devices used by publishers in the marketing of books. In announces publication before the work is printed, extolling its virtue and inviting pre-publication orders. Signing up customers in advance gave both publisher and author a measure of confidence in the venture.

16 • (BOOKBINDING) GRYPHE, SÉBASTIEN.

Bookbinding with the printer’s mark of Sébasitien Gryphe. (Lyon, n.d.). 16mo. Brown calf binding, front- and backcover with blinstamped double border, stamps (gold) on the corners of the inner border and in the center the printer’s mark (gold) of Sébastien Gryphe. Spine goldtooled. The binding has been restored by Léon Gruel and placed over blank paper with gilt edges. 5.000 € * Extremely rare example of a sixteenth century binding from the atelier of Sébastien Gryphe (1492 - 1556), who worked as a printer-bookseller in Lyon from 1524 to 1556. From the collection of Léon Gruel with his exlibris on the inside cover and with a note in his hand pasted on the second leaf. Gruel cites and illustrates the stamp on page 89 of the second part of his “Manuel Historique et Bibliographique de l’Amateur de Reliures” Georges Colin in “Bookbindings and other bibliophily” (pp77 - 115) discusses bindings with printers’ marks and for Gryphe he found only four bindings with three different marks (including the two in Gruel’s Manuel). The last one he discusses (page 98) is our copy.

17 • BOSBOOM, SIMON.

Cort onderwijs vande Vyf Colomen door Symon Bosboom, Stadts Steen-houwer tot Amsterdam. Uit den scherpsinnigen Vinsent Schamozzy getrocken en in Minuten gestelt seer gemacklick voor de jonge Leerlingen en dienstich voor alle Ionge Liefhebbers der Bouw-Const. Nieulycks vermeerdert en verbetert met Privilegio. Amsterdam, Joannes Loots, n.d. (between 1696 and 1726?). Folio. Limp vellum. Handwritten exlibris of the Arnhem (?) sculptor Johannes Daniels. Engraved titlepage, 58 ff with text and 47 full-page copper-engravings (one folding and 3 signed S. Bosboom inventor) and 6 copper-engravings in the text, marked A-F. 4.500 € * Simon Bosboom (1614 - 1662) was a Dutch architect and stone mason. ‘Cort Onderwys...’ is an influential and simple and practical manual on the five orders of columns, written for the use of craftsmen. It is based on Scamozzi’s Idea della architettura - most plates derive from Scamozzi’s book VI. Bosboom’s work became a popular handbook for architects that was reprinted several times and served to spread the ideas of Scamozzi throughout the Netherlands.

He discusses and illustrates the Tuscan, Doric, Ionic, Composite (here called Roman) and Corinthian orders of column, along with doorways, arches, facades, etc., using them. Other illustrations show fireplaces, a church interior and exterior, geometrical diagrams, ornaments, etc. Bosboom was active as an architect in England and Germany, before working on an almshouse for the city council of Nijmegen in 1640 and moved to Amsterdam when he was hired as a master mason to assist Jacob van Campen for his work as city architect of Amsterdam. He helped him with the City Hall of Amsterdam, his largest city project. In 1653 he was promoted to city mason after the dismissal of Willem de Keyser, and in 1657, the year of Van Campen’s death, Bosboom was promoted to city architect. Cornelis de Bie’s Gulden Cabinet (Antwerp 1661) calls Bosboom the actual designer of the plastic details of the Amsterdam city hall. Plates 54 and 55 depict interiors of Santa Maria Maggiore, Rome. Plates 52 and 53 depict a church designed by Bosboom.

20 • BOSSE, ABRAHAM.

Tratado da gravura a agua forte, e a buril, e em maneira negra com o modo de construir las prensas modernas, e de imprimir en talho doce ... Lisboa, na tipografia do Arco do Cego, 1801. 5 unnumbered leaves, x, 190pp. With engraved frontispice and 21 engraved plates. Entirely in sheets as published including the 22 engraved plates. It is extremely rare to find unbound copies the way they came from the printer in a good condition and with the plates. The beautiful allegorical frontispiece is by Antonio José Quinto, who is described by Soares (II, 506) as one of the best artists who worked at the Arco do Cego and the Impressão Regia. The plates illustrate tools and techniques of engraving, and the results that can be achieved with various methods. About half these plates are signed “O P. Silva” or “O Pe Silva”; this artist has not been identified by Soares (see his comment on II, 567). Three other plates are signed “Jorge fes,” another artist whom Soares was unable to identify. The remaining plates are unsigned. 4.000 € * First, and only Portuguese edition. Translation of the fourth and most complete French edition that was published in 1758. The first edition had appeared in 1645 and two others followed, one with some additions by Sebastien Leclerc, in 1701 and the other in 1745, with substantial additions by Cochin. The fourth of 1758 was issued with the addition of two new plates by Louis-Marin Bonnet, the inventor of the crayon manner of colour printing. The original text had also been translated into English, German and Dutch. The translator of the present edition was the Brazilian engraver José Joaquim Vega de Menezes (1778-1841), who was studying theology in Portugal. He later founded the first printing press in the state of Minais Gerais in Brasil. This is one of the few books issued by the

short-lived printing office of the Arco do Cego that was established in 1799 under the direction of the botanist José Mariano de Conceicão Veloso, in order to spread information about new techniques in the arts, industry and agriculture in Portugal and Brazil, by making the best recent works on those subjects available in Portuguese. Borba calls this work “one of the finest productions of the Arco do Cego.” The Arco do Cego was well equipped, with its own foundry for making type, its own presses and its own designers and engravers, two of whom - Romão Eloy and Ferreira Souto - later introduced the art of engraving to Brazil. The appointment of Veloso to the position of director of the Royal printing office meant the end of the Arco do Cego venture in December 1801.

21 • BOURLÈS, AUGUSTE. Traité pratique de l’imposition ou moyen mécanique d’imposer en imprimerie. Sisteron, imprimerie d’Auguste Bourlès, 1864. xii,380 pp. 4to. Half calf, marbled boards.

And bound at the beginning of the book an autograph letter dated 1866 and signed by Bourlès to Henri Maréchal 2.900 € * Bigmore and Wyman do not mention Bourles’ book but they do cite the one by Henri Maréchal to whom this copy is dedicated “Comptes faits pour la confection des garnitures” (published Paris 1862) a book that shows in figures the different widths of the furniture wanted for the different sizes of paper (see B&W II p. 23). [both Bourlès and Maréchal are cited by Barber in French letterpress printing 1567 - 1900 but

without any comment]

Bégné” 2pp of contemporary manuscript notes bound-in; after the titlepage; 2 other, smaller pages bound-in between pp. 342/3 & a loosely inserted leaf of the same size inserted at the same place. 900 € * Auction catalogue of a sale that never took place. The de Boze library, rich in incunables - including the 1462 Bible and both 1457 and 1459 Psalters - and block books, and an almost complete series of Greek and Latin editiones principes, 3 Groliers, etc., was purchased after the appearance of this catalogue by two collectors, Boutin and Cotte, who kept a selection of the books and consigned the residue to Gabriel Martin for auction in 1754. According to Archer Taylor this was Martin’s best effort. [Taylor, p.233; Grolier Club #104]

Lot number 13 is a Gutenberg Bible. [Grolier Club # 112].

24 • (CALLEBAUT, CH.). Industrie des machines à coudre système américan perfectionées et construites par Ch. Callebaut. Paris & London, Mai 1862. 8vo. (18,2 x 12,0 cm). 31 pp. Illustrated with woodcuts (including 2 full-page). 230 € * Published for the London World Fair 1862 with map of the exibition halls on the inside front cover. The “Expositions Universelles” or World Fairs were intended to show the latest innovations and inventions. The earliest of these fairs were held in France but were national. The first one of 1798 was the start of eleven national fairs. Sewing machines were invented during the first Industrial Revolution to decrease the amount of manual sewing work performed in clothing companies. Callebaut shows different models and explains the technqiue of them. Both full page illustrations of the factory show us what factories looked like at the time. At the 1862 exhibition about 50 types of sewing machine were on show on over 20 stands. M. Callebaut from Paris showed ‘several modifications of shuttle sewing machines of the

Singer type.’ Callebaut was the Singer licencee in France (the only occasion on which the Singer Co granted a licence rather than manufacturing itself ). Callebaut patented these modifications in France and Britain in his own name. Most of them apply to the Singer No. 2 machine and enabled it to have a reversible wheel feed for finishing seams, and to produce a ‘herring-bone stitch’ (zigzag) by moving the top feed presser foot from side to side. Another machine had twin needles on the same needle bar for making two lines of stitches on the top side and a zigzag on the underneath with a single shuttle thread. Not content with all these variants, M Callebaut exhibited some glove making machines of fearsome complexity using detached lengths of thread!

16.750 € * Very rare work on drawing and painting by the architect and priest Gasparo Colombina (died 1651), containing 4 theoretical discourses dealing with the practice of drawing, painting, colouring and the expression of emotion through the study of the expressions of the body. The 25 plates by Esigrenio illustrate the various attitudes and expressions of parts of the body and the face, representing eyes, ears, hands etc., and the faces of children, women and man. The last 3 plates with horses, birds and lions. There exist several copies with a different number of plates; one has only 17 plates, ours 25. Schlosser attributed the whole work to Esegrenio, but the text part is definitely written by Gasparo Colombina.Filippo Esegrenio was a painter, engraver, antiquarian and goldsmith active in Venice during the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century.

28 • DU BELLAY, JOACHIM. Epithalame sur le mariage de tresillustre prince Philibert Emanuel, duc de Savoye, et de tresillustre princesse Marguerite de France, soeur unique du Roy, et duchesse de Berry. Paris, Fédéric Morel, 1559. 8vo. (14 ff ). Recased in an old vellum binding. First edition. 3.800 € * An ephithalamium was originally among the Greeks a song in praise of bride and bridegroom, sung by a number of boys and girls at the door of the nuptial chamber. In the hands of the poets the epithalamium was developed into a special literary form, and received considerable cultivation. At the Renaissance, poets revived the form and many created memorable epithalamia. Marguerite de France, sister to Henri II was a patron of Du Bellay. She was born in 1523 and died in 1574. She assumed the title Duchesse de Berry in 1549. Ten years after assuming this first title, Marguerite married Emmanuel Philibert, Duke of Savoy, in 1559 and became Duchesse de Savoie. The

present poem was to be performed at Marguerite’s wedding feast in July. The feast was cancelled due to Henri II’s fatal injury in the preceding tournament, but the poem and the inscriptions both were published later in 1559. The poem celebrates Marguerite and her marriage in the social context of her connections to the court and the wider politics of Europe. The “Epithalame” was written to be sung by four of Jean de Morel’s children and the son of one of Morel’s friends. Morel was one of Du Bellay’s closest friends and the humanist was also a member of Marguerite’s household. She is likely to have known his children, and having them perform at her wedding dinner is both a sign of intimacy and an endorsement of the learning and values embodied by the Morel family. [c.f.

A good copy of this important auction catalogue. 1.880 € * One of the most important French eighteenth century auction catalogues, compiled by Gabriel Martin and considered the best of the many catalogues he compiled. It consists of 4414 lots, and includes manuscripts, maps, fine bindings and has significant holdings in history. According to Bléchet the principal buyers were Louis-Alexandre de Bourbon, comte de Toulouse, and Karl Heinrich, comte d’Hoym; unsold lots were retained by Du Fay’s

son. Charles-Jérome de Cisternay du Fay (1662-1723) was a Captain of the “Gardes Françaises” who devoted himself to collecting books after suffering severe wounds in the bombardment of Brussels in 1695 that made it impossible for him to continue his function, in fact he lost a leg. He bought from all the leading booksellers in Europe and formed a magnificent collection that was one of the richest of his times. It was often consulted by scholars who needed a particular and rare work. Copy with the portrait that is often lacking. [c.f.

A very good and lovely copy. 14.500 € * Catalogue of the stock of Daniel Elzevier’s bookselling establishment in Amsterdam, listing about 20,000 titles. It is divided into seven parts: theology (176pp), law (86pp), medicine (60pp), books on ‘miscelllaneous’ subjets (200pp), books in French (120pp), books in Italian, Spanish and English (24pp) and books in German (103pp). No prices were given but these were presumably

quoted on request. Included are, of course, the books published by the Elzeviers still in print, and a vast number of other books printed in Holland, and the catalogue is therefore still of bibliographical value. It also served contemporary scholars as a work of reference and may be considered a select universal bibliography [Breslauer & Folter # 68]. Willems says: “En parcourante les vingt mille articles dont se compose cet inventaire, on peut se faire une idée de l’importance de la librairie elzevirienne d’Amsterdam et de l’étendue de ses relations. Mais là ce ne borne pas l’intérêt de ce document. Ce qui lui donne une valeur exceptionelle, non tant pour la bibliographie elzevirienne, puisqu’il comprend surtout des livres d’assortiment, que pour la bibliographie néerlandaise en générale, c’est que le rédacteur a pris la peine d’indiquer l’adresse véritable de la plupart des ouvrages parus sans nom de ville ou avec un nom supposé” [cf.

The catalogue was compiled by Jean Capperonnier, and edited by Jacques-Marie Barrois. Falconet bequeated to the Bibliothèque du Roi all those books not already in that collection, and stipulated that the rest were to be sold; the items in the catalogue (11,000) destined for the Bibliothèque du Roi are set off within square brackets (very unusual in a catalogue). The sale (6 March 1763) fetched a total of 39,062 livres. 19,798 lots (containing over 60,000 books) are listed including manuscripts, maps and prints and with very significant holdings in medicine and natural

This important work is the first French printing manual and the only one until the Revolution. It is clear, methodical & elementary. The four parts cover type and composition; imposition and press correction; accentuated letters and punctuation; press work. We do not know very much about Martin Dominque Fertel (1648-1752) except that he had a shop in St. Omer from 1713 until his death in 1752 and that, after becoming a printer in 1704 he traveled for about 10 years through France, Italy and Flanders. During his travels he did not find a printing manual anywhere so he decided to print his own. And according to Updike I,260: It is admirably done and should be consulted by any one wishing to reconstitute French typography of the early eighteenth-century. Fournier rated Fertel’s work very high. Bigmore & Wyman call this a very curious and esteemed work.

Important collection of 35 Arrêts du Conseil d’Etat du Roi (1771 - 1789). 35 parliamentary papers regulating the printing- and booktrade in France, all published between 1771 and 1789. Mostly 4to and 4 pages although some have 2 or 8 pages. Mostly published in Paris but some from Lille. Detailed description upon request. All of these scarce. 5.250 € * From the sixteenth century until the Revolution, censorship of speech and writing was official policy in France. There was no freedom of the Press under the Old Regime, because from the earliest days of its power the Crown established surveillance of printers and booksellers and a mechanism for controlling the dissemination of ideas. The existence of two parallel mechanisms - one of preventive censorship, the other to prohibit forbidden and clandestine transactions in printed matter or infractions of the rules governing booksellers - clearly indicates the keen awareness of the absolutist state and its rulers of the importance of the printed word. Subjects of the papers in the present collection are import taxes, interdictions for printers to work for various reasons, privileges, rules for becoming and hiring and firing printers and booksellers, pirate editions, censorship of various publications etc. etc. [see R. Darnton, Revolution in Print].

One hundred copies only, bound by Karli Frigge, with parchment strips on a leather spine, according to the old Dutch book. Held in slipcase. 2.500 € * Karli Frigge’s marbled papers combine technical virtuosity with great artistic value. Some types of marbles, like the tiger-eyelets are very old and are to be found on papers from the 19th century, others are new. Of all the marbles the recipes are given. Half the experiments have been done in black paint: a prerequisite to do the work. Moreover this shows the shapes and structures to their best advantage. It is not until the last chapter that colours are shown in surprising gradations. The present copy is a unique copy with five added marbled paper samples added + two samples of marbling on linen added + loosely inserted a whole sheet of marbled paper. All the extra samples have been made by Karli Frigge herself between circa 1986 and 1996. Also loosely inserted a booklet with the Dutch translation of the text that is bound in marbled wrappers.

Frontispiece, (14), 133, (3 blank) pages. 19th century marbled paper wrappers. 1.050 € * Rare first edition of this important treatise and primary course on painting by Willem Goeree (1635-1711). Goeree, the son of a physician and born in Middelburg, was unable to go to University because of his father’s early death. He then chose to become a printer and bookseller, first in Middelburg from 1666 to 1677 and then in Amsterdam but he also wrote books on antiquities and art like the present work. This work, published during the Golden Age of Dutch painting was one of the most popular manuals on painting and remained so into the eighteenth century. It also gives valuable insight into this golden age of Dutch painting. It is probable that many famous Dutch artists of the time have read the work. After two introductory chapters on the origins and use of painting, Goeree goes on to discuss sources for images in nature and in books, the study of antiquities and of the human and animal anatomy, perspective, architecture, history, the making of clay models, learning by copying older paintings, apprenticeship and establishing one’s name. The booklet is nicely printed with helpful marginal notes indicating the principal topics.

(II),240 ; (II),200 ; (II), 288 pp. (somewhat browned). Contemporary calf binding, spine richly gilt with raised bands and gilt-lettered red label. 2.100 € * Taylor says: “Although this library of 6787 printed books and 252 manuscripts does not rank with the largest collections of the eighteenth century, the choice of books and the organization of the catalogue make it important. Baron de Hohendorf, adjutant-general of Prince Eugene of Savoy, owned many Latin works, a generous selection of French books, and some Italian books. Among the last were some fifty or sixty plays… Although there is neither a table of contents nor an index of authors, the catalogue is easy to use because its maker adheres with more than the usual care to the categories that he has set up… The first separate listing of octavo Aldines… the folios and quartos are not separately listed – and of the duodecimo Elzevirs… suggests that collectors were already searching for them in 1720… the absence, although not complete, of theology

and the classics, make it pleasant reading for most students of modern literature. The Royal Library at Vienna bought the entire collection. As to the Aldine editions: 24 4to editions and 99 8vo editions are presented and among the 8vo editions we find no less than 8 that were bound for Grolier of which one on vellum plus another one on vellum and one printed on blue paper. For further comment see Peignot, p. 103; Brunet Dictionnaire, col. 632; Widmann, Bibliotheken, p. 664 n. 1.” [c.f. Folter 366; Taylor Book Catalogues p. 246]

The Historie of Scotlande, conteyning the beginning, increase, proceedings, continuance, Actes and Gouernemente of the Scottish nation, from the originall therof unto the yeare 1571. Gathered and written in the English tongue by R.H. At London, Imprinted for Lucas Harrison, 1577. Small folio. (viii), 22, 1 blank, 518, (26) pp. (Lacking errata leaf ). Bound in a late nineteenth century blindstamped binding, restored & rebacked, new endpapers. Illustrated with numerous woodcuts. Scottish part only. A full page woodcut map of Edinburgh is present in some complete sets but is not present in this copy. 5.250 € * A good copy of the Scottish part of the first

edition of Holinshed’s Chronicles, published in 1577 and illustrated with hundreds of woodcuts. A second edition was published in 1587 but that was not illustrated. This first edition was commonly known as the “Shakespeare edition” until W.G. Boswell-Stone and H.R.D. Anders established that it was, in fact, the second edition which Shakespeare employed as the source for ten of his plays. The Chronicles for each of the countries are divided into two sections: “Description” and “History.” The work originated with Reginald Wolfe who devoted 25 years to the compilation of the English, Scottish and Irish portions, leaving it unfinished at his death in 1573. Holinshed, who had assisted Wolfe for a number of years, then took over the project. He narrowed his scope to the British Isles and abandoned the plan to publish maps, by then rendered unnecessary by the preparation of Saxton’s atlas. Although the Chronicles bear the name of Raphael Holinshed, they were in fact a corporate achievement, produced by men of varying origins and upbringings. Eight men were principally involved in the huge enterprise of writing them, in collaboration with a number of printers and publishers. Holinshed himself wrote the “Historie of England.” The “Description of England” is by William Harrison, rector of Radwinter and canon of Windsor. “The History and Description of Scotlande” and the “History of Irelande” are by Richard Staynehurst and Edward Campion. According to Luborksy and Ingram, “the Histories, where all the woodcuts appear, represent (together with the herbals and emblem books) the most copiously illustrated secular texts of the Tudor era ... both the narrative and descriptive cuts are printed to relate to the pertinent texts; the images of the rulers function as initials do, to signal a new topic and also, for those of the Tudor rulers in volume Two, as portraits.” While some of the cuts are reuses, “most of the narrative and descriptive cuts are new and many artisans were engaged in their making.” Henry Bynneman, Reginald Wolfe’s apprentice and successor, printed the work. Copies bear various imprints with the names of Hunne, John Harrison, Lucas Harrison or George Bishop, who were enlisted “to defray the charges for the impression.” [c.f.

Our copy is the second edition from 1647. Hondius was an engraver, publisher and expert on fortifications. “The book provides a series of neatly conceived demonstrations on perspective in its abstract and applied forms and gives an original if brief analysis of the upwards convergence of tall verticals to a ‘contre-poinct’ when viewed with a plane tilted slightly towards the spectator” (Kemp, p. 112).

The collection belonged to the celebrated book collector Count Karl Heinrich Hoym (1794-1738) who was the former Polish ambassador in France. He committed suicide in

1738; the present catalogue was edited by Gabriel Martin, (1679-1761), the famous French bookseller and bibliographer. It was he who introduced a new system of classification for (auction) catalogues, no longer by size but by themes. He has edited no less than 150 catalogues and the Hoym collection was one of the most elaborate ones. Martin knew Hoym and had played a role in forming the collection. He for instance bought several important books for Hoym at the du Fay sale in 1725. The Hoym collection contained no less than five Grolier bindings. A very good copy of this important auction catalogue. [cf Pollard & Ehrmann 276, Taylor p. 246; Grolier Club # 46, Bléchet p. 97, Blogie II 3.

The library was sold at auction at the Hotel de Longueville in 1738 when many volumes went to Horace Walpole.

Juvenal, whose full name was Decimus Junius Juvenalis, was a satirical poet active in Imperial Rome in the 2nd and 3rd decades of the 2nd century. Juvenal, today, is most well-known for his 16 Satires (which were, already in ancient times, arranged into five books). These satires (Saturae) are sharp attacks on the vices and misdeeds of Roman society. [Baudrier Vol. II, p. 68]

47 • LE PAUTRE, J.

Veuës de jardins en perspectives. Inventés et gravés par J. le Pautre et se vend à Paris chez Est Gantrel rue St. Iacque a limage St. Maur. Avec Privilege du Roy. (Paris, n.d. but c. 1680). Small oblong folio. Engraved title plus 9 engraved plates. In modern (decorated) paper wrappers. Two series of plates by Le Pautre. The first one, Jardins et perspectives (6 plates incl. title) by Gantrel and a second series of 4 plates ‘le Potre fecit - P. Mariette avec privilege’. 1.250 € * Jean le Pautre (1618-1682), elder brother of the architect Antoine, began his career as an apprentice to the ‘menusier’ Adam Philippon, for whom he produced ornamental designs. His first plates illustrate the baptism of Louis XIV on 21 April 1643. Le Pautre is considered to be one of the most inventive and prolific ornamental draftsmen of all time. He was capable of producing designs for any subject. His remarkable technical abilities enabled him later in his career to develop his designs directly as he engraved them. Le Pautre’s importance is vast. He established a character of grandeur and inimitable richness that transformed the heavy, soft forms of Flemish ornamentation, which represent the style Louis XIII, into the style Louis XIV. All Europe followed his influence until the end of the eighteenth century. Masters recommended the study of Le Pautre’s designs to their students, and his prints of architectural ornament would become standard models for all artists working in the style Louis XIV.

51 • (MARBLED PAPER) FRIGGE, KARLI.

Boards covered with an original marbled paper by van Frigge and the endpapers consist of two other different marbled papers by her. A unique copy bound especially to show the papers with in total 23 different samples. Assembled by a bookbinder and paper specialist. 2.650 € * The technique of marbling involves sprinkling or dribbling paints on a ‘marbling ground’ which consists of water with an additive to increase viscosity. Formerly natural ingredients were used like Irish moss, carrageen or tragacanth gum, but nowadays also synthetic ingredients are used. Spread agents are added to the paints to decrease the surface tension, so that the paint does not sink to the bottom of the tank, but spreads over the surface of the marbling ground. In the past ox gall, saponified methylated spirit and alcohol were used as spread agents, but nowadays synthetic products are also available for this purpose. The patterns arising from the sprinkling of paints on the marbling ground resemble the rock structures in nature, hence the overall name of marbles. It is also possible to work on the spontaneously formed pattern, by drawing a small stick or comb through it. Another possibility is adding other chemicals besides the spread agents to the paints, which create special effects when the paints react with the marbling ground. Finally the paint pattern on the marbling ground is transferred to paper by carefully putting a sheet of paper on the surface and allowing it to absorb the paint. The Dutch bookbinder Karli Frigge made marbled paper for her own use, for other bookbinders and for collectors of decorated paper. All her marbled paper is characterized by a sophisticated use of colours and colour combinations. They combine technical virtuosity with great artistic value.

Three works bound together in contemporary stillf vellum binding. Title on spine. All edges stained red. Bookplate of William Charles de Meuron, Earl Fitzwilliam (1872-1943) on the inside front cover. A lovely copy. 900 € * Three volumes of notes, commentaries and indexes on he famous epigrams by Marcus Valerius Martialis, a first century Roman author who takes apart the pretensions, addictions, and cruelties of its inhabitants with perfect comic timing and killer punchlines. Social climbers and sex-offenders, rogue traders and two-faced preachers - all are subject to his forensic annihilations and often foul-mouthed verses. Packed with incident and detail, Martial’s epigrams bring Rome vividly to life in all its variety; biting satire rubs alongside tender friendship, lust for life beside sorrow for loss. Gossipy, clever, and above all entertaining, they express amusement as much as indignation at the vices they expose. With the advent of printing Martial was one of the first Latin classics to come off the press. The scholarly attention Martial attracted was significant.

With many plates and illustrations in black and white and colour throughout. At the end of each issue plates are being called for, some of these are present, others are not and again, others that are not called for are present. 3.500 € * The first six years of this magazine for professionals in the printing trade that continued until 1919. It was started in July 1834 so the first year only contains 6 issues, all the others contain 12 issues. The

magazine contains a wealth of information, just leafing through shows us a history and recipes for black printing ink, type specimens, illustrations of presses and related material, new techniques, examples of colour printing, general information about the printing trade of the day, advertising, notes on new literature and much, much more. The first four years give no indication of the number of copies issued (but there were 400) but from 1838 onwards it is mentioned: “Die Auflage des Journals besteht gegenwärtig in 760 Exemplaren, und werden Beilagen in dieser Anzahl mit demselben gratis verbreitet, vorausgesetzt, das sie frankiert einkaufen” which I read to mean that the number of copies is 760 and that supplements (plates etc.) are distributed for free but that postage has to be paid beforehand. Meaning that it is logical that not all plates are present. In 1839 the number of copies is 850. Johann Heinrich Meyer came from an old printing family. He was 22 years old when he started this magazine and remained its editor until 1863. Ulrich & Küp call this “A fine all-round journal on printing, old and new, with ‘turn-of-the-century’ typespecimens”. [c.f.

The Bibliothèque Mazarine became the first public library in France because of Naudé’s insistence and was open to the public as early as 1644. The present work is of the greatest importance in the history of book collecting and libraries and is still influential today. Naudé said it was necessary to gather all types of books in a

library, regardless of the author’s political or religious beliefs, and that the best critical editions and commentaries had to be bought. [c.f. Hobson, Great Libraries p 14;

63 • PERLING, AMBROSIUS.

Schat-Kamer van verscheyde geschriften ... Amsterdam, without date and printer (about 1740). 18 leaves (including title). Oblong 4to. Bound in marbled paper. Despite a clumsy attempt of calligraphy on the verso of the second leaf a fine copy. 1.850 € * Third issue of the third book of Ambrosius Perling. This master calligrapher was born in Utrecht in 1657 or

1658 and became a citizen of Amsterdam in 1683. He kept a boarding school where calligraphy was taught and died in 1718. The first issues of the books written by Perling were published at his own expenses, the later ones were published (as in this case) by members of the family De Broen, engravers and publishers in Amsterdam. Ambrosius Perling reached a high fame during his lifetime as the last writing master who could hold in honor the calligraphic tradition of the Dutch republic. De Broen advertised his scripts as produced by “the jewel of the writing masters” and in fact the fame of Perling as unsurpassed calligrapher lasted well into the XIX century, both in Holland and abroad. Especially in England the influence of Perling was great. S. Morison in his introduction to the book of Heal on the history of calligraphy in England stresses the important rôle played by Perling alongside the Frenchmen Barbedor and Matherot. “While XVIth and early XVIIth century Italian handwriting had still been formed in a rather compressed and angular manner, the Dutch masters developed a broader and more rounded variant which, so far as writing line is concerned, was written at a wider sloping angle. This hand, which could be written more quickly, was imitated and developed further by a number of English masters...” (Croiset van Uchelen). Specimens of Perling’s writing were reproduced by English masters as Snell, Champion and Bickham. Also in Spain Perling’s influence was felt, as demonstrated by the insertion of a letter by him in the manual of Servidori (1787). This suite corresponds to the issue IIIb of this book in the Perling bibliography attempted by Croiset van Uchelen. The names of the engravers are G. and J. De Broen and the plates are disposed mostly according to Croiset’s description, with two inversions. The first edition of the Schat-Kamer was published in 1685 and comprised only 17 leaves. [T. Croiset van Uchelen (The writing master Ambrosius Perling in: Quaerendo, 26(3)) pages 167-197; compare Bonacini 1401-1403, quoting respectively an edition without date which he did not personally see, the first edition and a later edition (dated by him as about 1724, but containing only 17 leaves) and Kat.

Title, (x), 224 pp, (1 pp), 11 engraved plates with explanations, (54 pp) for the “Explication des mots difficiles” and 1 page privilege and errata. Contemporary calf, spine goldtooled (corners sl. rubbed and top and bottom of spine sl. damaged). Edges sprinkled red. 1.200 € * Millard, French says on this: “This small, abridged version of Vitruvius’ De Architectura appeared the year following the publication of Claude Perrault’s folio translation and encyclopedic commentary on the entire Vitruvian treatise (Les dix livres d’architecture...). Although the text follows the original, Perrault, taking up a suggestion from Book 3 of Philibert de L’Orme’s architectural treatise, selected and rearranged Vitruvius’ text. Perrault has divided the material into a preface and two parts, followed by eleven plates reduced from illustrations in the larger Vitruvius. Part I contains an introduction to the topic of architecture, including material from Vitruvius’ Book I, and a rearrangement of Vitruvius’ original text under headings corresponding to the ancient author’s definition

of the three parts of architecture: solidity (firmitas), which includes comments on building materials, foundations, walls floors, and interior finishes; commodity and disposition (utilitas), interpreted by Perrault as including both the orientation of the building and the arrangement and proportions of interior spaces (commodity), and the designing of plans for specific building types (disposition); and beauty (venustas), where Perrault unfolds his theory of positive and arbitrary beauty as it is related to the orders. He also elaborates on Vitruvian typologies of proportion and ornament, including Vitruvius’ five styles of columnar arrangement. Part 2 is concerned with descriptions of building types... The eleven small engraved plates bound after the text are reduced by Sebastien Le Clerc from the engravings in Perrault’s folio translation and commentary on De architectura. The plates are further demonstrations of the establishing of typologies and norms... They include many types of wall construction, of temples, and of the orders, with two plates on details of Ionic and Corinthian capitals, one illustration of the Collisseum, and one of a war machine. A small glossary of difficult technical terms used in the text is appended.Despite its significance as a forerunner of future developments in architectural theory, as well as its position as another exemplar of Perrault’s position on architectural issues, this book is rarely

mentioned, and has not received the attention it deserves. It is clear that Perrault intended this work for the instruction of the amateur in architectural taste; the book is a precedent, even a unique one, for later eighteenth-century literature that instructs the general public in the appreciation of the “theory” of subjects of a professional nature. Despite the single, absolute system of architecture developed in this study of typologies and a theory of beauty tied to contemporary absolutist standards, this work is in the forefront of a trend that would do away with those concepts related to absolute monarchial standards and open the way to eighteenth-century development of individual choice and taste.” The plates in our edition have been engraved after those of Le Clerc but differ in small details.

Perspectiva. Eyn schön nützlich Büchlin und Underweisung der Kunst des Messens, mit dem Zirckel, Richtscheidt oder Linial. Franckfort, Cyriacus Jacob zum Bart, 1546. (6vo) A to G1-6; H1-3. (45 leaves). Contemporary vellum binding. Title page in red and black with a woodcut illustration. 34 woodcut illustrations (17 full-page, one with red printed rules), 26 woodcut diagrams (10 with red printed rules), a woodcut tailpiece at the end. “Hieronymi Rodler” as author in a contemporary hand in ink on top of the title-page. Faint notes in ink on the last (blank) page. Expertly restored. A beautiful Renaissance illustrated book. 21.000 € * Second edition, the text and the illustrations are (basically) identical to the 1531 edition, which was printed in Simmern at the private press of Johann II von Pfalz-Simmern. Marvelous woodcuts of medieval streets, complex floor and ceiling patterns, corridors with variously ornamented columns, interiors with elaborate landscapes in the background, a room with a student’s desk and a calculation sheet and counter, a festive gathering with a musician

singing and playing a viola da gamba, a spiral staircase in a villa, an artist at work in a room with a grid iron window to represent the landscape in perspective, etc. “This small volume appeared in 1531 with a preface by the printer Hieronymus Rodler, who stated that he found the perspective methods presented by Dürer [Unterweisung der Messung, 1525] too difficult for practitioners, for which reason he had decided to publish a book by an author who knew how to address this group. The identity of Rodler’s chosen author remained unknown for centuries, but in 1991 Werner Wunderlich solved the riddle by pointing to the palsgrave Johann II von Simmern (1492 -1557) as the author (Wunderlich 1991, pp. 25-27). Having observed that the initial letter of the first 54 paragraphs in the book form the following sentence: ‘Johans Pfaltzgraf bej Rejn Hertzog Jn Beyern Und Graf Zu Spanhejm’. Wunderlich took this to be a display of the author’s name. The letters could also have been hidden in the dedication, but Wunderlich found additional support for his hypothesis in Hans Lenckner’s ‘Persperctiva’ from 1571, in which Lencker stated that Count Johann had published a book on perspective.” (Andersen 2007, p. 214- 215). Four woodcuts are signed with HH, and Elsbeth Bonnemann suggests that it was possibly for Johann II. von Pfalz-Simmern who was then known as Duke Hans von Hunsbrück (Bonnemann,

1938, pp. 24-25). Rodler was one of the most celebrated publishers of illustrated books in Germany in the sixteenth century. He was the first to use the “Dürer” Fraktur as a text type. There are some slight differences in the 1546 edition compared to the first edition: the illustration of B4 verso has been printed upside-down, and on F6 verso and G6 verso the red lines leading to the vanishing points are missing on all images. This second editions appears to be rarer than the first and it is lacking from the Murray, Muther, Adams, German STC, Brunet bibliographies, which describe the 1531 edition. [c.f.

Each plate has a small blue circular stamp on the verso with the text ‘Seine Colportage’ that is found on prints from this period. Augustin de Saint-Aubin (1736 - 1807), belongs to an important dynasty

of French designers and engravers. In his lifetime, Augustin was considered the most successful of the siblings, but he is the one about whom least is now known. In 1776 he was appointed as the official engraver at the Bibliothèque Royale (Royal Library).

Tutti l’Opere d’Architettura et Prospetiva, di Sebastiano Serlio Bolognese, dove si mettono in disegno tutte le maniere di Edificij, e si trattano di quelle soce, che sonon più necessarie à sapere gli Architetti. In Venetia, Giacomo de’Franceschi, 1619. 4to. [24] ff; 219 ff; 27 ff, titlepage; 243 pp (with several errors in the pagination). Hundreds of woodcuts in the text. Contemporary blind stamped vellum binding. All edges stained red. A really nice and clean copy. 3.500 € * Third collected edition of Serlio’s seven books on architecture. The first edition was published in Venice in 1584. A reprint of the 1584 edition, with an additional `Discorso’ first added in 1600. Each book has a separate title-leaf, printed within a woodcut border; books 1, 2, 4, 6 and 7 have the imprint `In Vicenza ...’, with books 2 and 4 dated `1618’. This edition may originally have been issued in 1618. Leaves 17 (first sequence) and 24 (second sequence) are misnumbered `71’ and `42’, and pages 86 and 209 are misnumbered `85’ and `219’. Serlio (1475 - 1555) is renowned for the present work

which includes volumes on the classical orders, perspective, domestic buildings and churches. His architectural background in Rome, in the environment of Bramante, Raphael and his acknowledged teacher Peruzzi, was crucial to the formation of his ideas and he included drawings by all three masters in his volume devoted to antiquities. L’Architettura was the first modern treatise to include illustrations, it has a strongly practical basis and proved highly significant in disseminating knowledge of Italian High Renaissance architecture.

81 • SMITH, JOSEPH. Bibliotheca Smithiana, seu catalogus librorum D. Josephi Smithii Angli per cognomina authorum dispositus Venetiis, Typis Jo. Baptistae Pasquali, 1755. Halftitle, Title in red and black with vignette, (iii), xliii, cccxlviii, (iii), dxix pp. The recto and verso of page dxix each have a beautiful vignette. 4to. A nice uncut copy with large margins. 2.500 € * Joseph Smith (1682-1770), consul at Venice, collected incunabula and published catalogues of his first library in three editions (c. 1729; 1737 & 1755). The present edition is the first complete edition of the catalogue. By printing the preface to many incunabula in an appendix, he gave an additional value to his catalogue of 1755. Smith’s books were later acquired by George II, who bought them in 1765 for 10,000 pounds, and are now in the King’s Library in the British Museum (British Library). This copy contains the appendix which reprints in full some 200 prefaces, dedications, and epilogues contained in incunabula — a unique anthology. Smith’s library was rich in incunabula, early printed books, Italian literature, history, art, architecture, and antiquities. Horne says about this catalogue: “It is a thick vol. of nearly 900 pages, which is terminated by 279 pages of the

prefaces and epistles prefixed to the editions of the 15th century. This catalogue is rare and dear.” Third enlarged and best edition of the catalogue of one of the earliest specialized collections. [c.f. Taylor, Book Catalogues pp. 134 & 261-262; De Ricci pp. 54-55 & Horne p. 673]

prominent place. The elder Gillé, Joseph, was a distinguished Parisian type-founder... Joseph Gillé was succeeded about 1790 by Joseph Gaspard Gillé fils... He was one of the promoters of the newer styles of ornament, and offered typographic decoration to the printers of France - in a kind of stereotype - which he felt sure - or so he asserted - was in design and method of reproduction to overthrow the superannuated woodcuts of the ancien régime” (Fleuron 6, pp. 167 etc.; D.B. Updike, ‘A translation of the reports of Berlier & Sobry on Types of Gillé fils’). Gillé fils was influenced by Didot in the design of his lush vignettes, borders and rules. His house specialized in ornaments, fancy letters and script letters. In September 1827 it was bought by Honoré de Balzac.

88 • VIGNOLA, GIACOMO BAROZZI; VASCONI, FILIPPO.

L’ architettura del Vigniola con una nuova aggiunta delle migliori fabriche da esso fatte in Roma, delineate, & intagliate da Filippo Vasconi architetto, e cittadino romano Venice, Domenico lovisa, 1710. Contemporary full vellum binding. Some waterstaining. Frontispiece, title, (vi), 60 plates by Filippo Vasconi. The plates are bound out of order, but all all there (numbered 1 - 58 with an extra unnumbered plate bound in after plate 32 and ‘frontispiece’ A) SOLD * Even though the work of Vignola has been published in over 500 editions, the present one is uncommon. (I have only found three copies in OCLC, calling for 58 plates (?)). Our copy is especially interesting as it is completely annotated in a contemporary hand, in Italian, obviously by an unidentified architect or student of architecture, on the back of the plates but also next to the plates. On some plates of porches he states where they can be found (“Questo Tempietto è in Roma fora della porta del Roroso vicino alla vigna de Pasa Guilio è dedicato à Sant Andrea” on plate 39) He even

added an illustration with an explanatory text. Filippo Vasconi (1687? - 1730) was an Italian engraver and architect. [Not in Fowler; OCLC 3 copies only: BL, Bibl. Hertziana, CCA]

89 • VINGBOONS, PHILIPPUS.

De gronden afbeeldingen en beschryvingen der aldervoornaamste en aldernieuwste gebouwen uyt alle die door Philippus Vingboons, binnen Amsterdam in de nieuwe vergrooting en daar na aldaar en elders geordonneerd zyn. Leiden, Pieter vander Aa, 1715. Large folio. Title printed in red and black with allegorical engraved printer’s device of Van der Aa by J. Goeree with Minerva sitting before colums, the coat-of-arms of Leiden and the burg of Leiden in the background, 5 double -page engravings numbered A-E in the first part, engraved by Johannes Vingboons after drawings by Justus Vingboons, followed by 75 engraved plates (numbered 1-46, (46a), 47-74), of which 64 are double-page, the others full-page), engraved by Johannes Vingboons, Jan Mathys or B. Stopendal, after the designs of Philippus Vingboons, all with architectural plans, cross-sections and views. 4, 11 pp. Half calf. A good, complete, uncut copy with wide margins. 15.500 € * Second Dutch edition of the second volume of the collected architectural works by the famous

Dutch architect Philippus Vingboons (1607-1678), who is considered as one of the greatest exponents of Dutch Classicism as introduced by the school of Jacob van Campen. The collected architectural works of Philips Vingboons were published in two volumes, separately issued with a period of more than 25 years in between: the first volume in 1648 with the title Afbeelsels der voornaemste gebouwen uyt alle die Philips Vingboons geordineert heeft (Amsterdam in commission of Philip & Johannes Vingboons by Ioan Blaeu). This first vol. contained 61 engraved plates (second ed. by Clement de Jonge at Amsterdam in 1665 with the 61 (i.e. 62) plates now titled Gronden en afbeeldsels der voornaamste gebouwen, van alle die Philips Vingboons geordineert heeft; a third edition followed in 1688 and was published by Justus Dankerts at Amsterdam, also with 62 plates. Vingboons published the second volume of his collected works with his designs for the commissions he got after ca. 1650 for the first time in 1674 with a further 74 engraved plates, titled Tweede deel van de afbeeldsels der voornaemste gebouwen uyt alle die Philips Vingboons geordineert heeft, (Amsterdam, in commission of Philip & Johannes Vingboons by Ioan Blaeu). This edition included a preface, descriptions of the plates and a 15-years privilege. However, Vingboons died in 1678, long before the privilege expired. The plates came into the hands of Pieter vander Aa, together with 5 other plates showing the designs for the famous Trippenhuis at Amsterdam designed by architect Justus Vingboons (the younger brother of Philippus) in commission of the wealthy weapon merchants Louis and Hendrik Trip. These five double-page plates, present in our copy (as usual in the 1715 edition) were engraved by Johannes Vingboons and published separately in 1664. Van der Aa reprinted these two groups of plates in 1715 in two different issues: first an edition with a Dutch text (our copy), and in the same year an edition with a French text (Oeuvres d’architecture, contenant les desseins tant en plan qu’en elevations ...), also intended as an informal campanion to Van der Aa’s edition of the work of Pieter Post.After the printed title follow the preface by Philip Vingboons on its verso, the description of the plates A-E of the Trippenhuis (pp. 3-4), and the description of the 74 numbered plates (pp. 1-11). Then the plates as follows:- the 5 double-page plates of the Justus Vingboons’s Trippenhuis at Amsterdam (now the seat of the Dutch Royal Academy and once housing the Night-watch by Rembrandt), numbered A-E and showing three plans and two elevations. These plates are captioned in Dutch and French, and are signed ‘Justus Vingboons inventor’; plates D and E are also signed ‘Johannes Vingboons sculpsit’.- the 74 (75 including plate 46a) depict plans (including garden plans) and elevations of Philip Vingboons’s designs for town and country houses. Plate 46a is unnumbered but mentioned in the text - plates 46 to 50 are mentioned as six plates - it forms an extension of the plan shown in plate 46 and was originally intended to be pasted to this plate, although in the present edition (as also in this copy) it is bound separately at the end. All the numbered plates except for 2, 12, 13, 28, 39, 45, 49, 51, 52, 66, 67 are double-page. All the plates bear scale-bars and all, except (46a), 51, 52 and 60 are signed ‘P. Vingboons inventor’. Most are also signed by an engraver, generally Bastien Stopenda(e)l and some by Jan Mathys. These plates are reprinted from the coppers used for the first edition, which are all listed and reproduced by K. Ottenheym, if possible together with photographs of the buildings which are still standing:

These plates provide a magnificent picture of the building activities of the Dutch, in particular the Amsterdam elite in the second half of the 17th century, commissioning the building of their private houses on the newly established Amsterdam canals as well as their manor houses in the country to one of the most renowned architects of the Netherlands. The plans and elevations give an excellent opportunity to get a glance of the housing conditions of this elite during the Dutch Golden Age on the famous Amsterdam canals.
