The terms ”Second War” and ”Arrow War” are both used in litera-ture. ”Second Opium War” refers to one of the British strategic ob-jectives: legalizing the opium trade, expanding coolie trade, opening all of China to British merchants, and exempting foreign imports from internal transit duties.

Löwendahl: China illustrata nova. Supplement, 1554. GW 8428.

Originally published in 1477, this is the third Latin edition of the Greek author’s description of the known world, probably written about A.D. 120, chiefly after Eratosthenes (c. 275-194 B.C.), taking little account of subsequent discoveries. The list of ”Insulae Asiae seu provinciae” on h2 verso and h3 recto includes ”Serica” and ”Sine”.

The work, first published in 1520, is a compilation from classical, medieval, and 15th century authors, of mostly ethnological material of diverse peoples of the world.

For the Mongols and Cathayans Boemus relied on the description of Giovanni da Piano Carpini. It is found on pp. 101-115.

All editions pre 1558 contain only three parts: Africa, Asia, and Euro-pe. In 1558 a fourth part devoted to America was added.

Löwendahl: China illustrata nova. Supplement, 1552; PMM, 5 (ed. I, 1469); HC 13090.; GW M34308.

Lacking first blank and last 40 leaves, including last blank.

This fourth edition was edited by Niccolò Perotti, Archbishop of Siponto. The printer’s, Sweynheym and Pannartz, also printed the second edition of 1470, which was edited by Joannes Andreae de Buxiis (Bussi) and Theodorus Gaza.

The editio princeps was printed in Rome 1469 by Joannes de Spira. Sweynheym and Pannartz may have learned the art of printing in Gutenberg’s shop in Mainz. They became the first to establish a press in Italy, at the Abbey of Subiaco 1464, moving to Rome in 1467. The present Plinius edition was the last book from their press.

There are several passages mentioning the Chinese and Chinese com-moditise in this edition, i.e. Lib. VI, cap. XVII; Lib. VI, cap. XXII; Lib VII, cap. III; Lib. XII, cap. VIIII, Lib. XII, cap. XXII.

The first comprehensive examination of the natural sciences and the arts. Subjects include the fine arts and literature, cosmology, geograp-hy, medicine, zoology, botany, mineralogy, anthropology and many others. Pliny’s description of sculpture and painting, and techniques such as chasing in silver, also make this an important source for the history of ancient art.

Very rare. Before 2013, there was no record of any sale at JAP, ABPC or Rare Book Hub.

Some dampstaining in upper margin in beginning and at end. Signature of Joel Eriksson in upper margin of title. Very rare. Löwendahl: China illustrata nova. Supplement, 1755.

The printing of the OldTestament in Mongolian, translated by Ed-ward Stallybrass, William Swan and Robert Yuille, started at Selen-ginsk in 1834, where apparently only printing of the first edition of Genesis was finished. In April 1835 the printing press was moved to Khodon. The Old Testament was issued in separate parts. A few co-pies of the complete Old Testament were apparently sent to London and bound there. In 1840 the mission was suppressed by an Imperial Ukase. When Stallybrass and Swan left Siberia in early 1841, they left behind not only the press and all its equipment, but most, if not all, of the remaining copies of the printed Old Testament.

Joel Eriksson (born 1890), of the Swedish Mongol Mission, with his assistant Daste Tjub, commissioned by the British and Foreign Bible Society at a missionary conference in Kalgan 1935 to undertake a thorough revision of the New Testament and, in cases considered justified, an entirely new translation of the four Gospels.

At the end of vol.

There are three pages about the mythology of the Chinese.

Usong is one of Haller’s three philosophical romances, the other two being ”Alfred, König der Angelsachsen” (1773) and ”Fabius und Cato” (1774), in which his views as to the respective merits of despo-tism, of limited monarchy and of aristocratic republican governement are fully set forth.

In ”Usong” Haller demonstrates his profound admiration for Eastern political systems. Though set in a fictional Per-sia, the political arrangements of the ideal state are drawn from Chinese Confucian philosophy. +

In the realm of Chinese studies, this little-known novel belongs to the category of ”chinoiserie” and in its time was a part of the French literay and philosophical ”mirage” of China.

The work has additional importance as a reply to Voltaire’s Candide.

The tale is set in China and the East Indies.

Voltaire’s ”Essai sur l’histoire générale...” was originally published in 1756. Then, in 1765, a work entitled ”La philosophie de l’histoire, par feu l’abbé Bazin” appeared. Voltaire was its author, writing under a psudonym. Four years later, in 1769, this work was placed as the introduction (”Discours preliminaire”, pp. 1-164 with ”De la Chine” on pp. 55-60) into the ”Essai”; and the whole was published under the more succinct title ”Essai sur les moeurs et l’esprit des nations”. Voltaire devoted the first two chapters (pp. 172-189) of his ”Essai” to China.

6164 MAP OF SOUTHEAST ASIA. BERLINGHIERI, FRANCESCO DI NICCOLÒ - PTOLEMY. Tabula un decima de Asia. Florcence (Nicolo Tedescho) before Sept. 1482.

Engraved map from Francesco di Niccolò Berlinghieri’s Geographia, with original handcolouring, c. 385 x 390 mm (including text). One vertical fold, loss and splitting along fold, lower sheet edge trimmed to, or just within the lower border scale, dampstaining in upper plate area, a few small areas of loss at sheet edges, several wormholes. Framed.Löwendahl: China illustrata nova. Supplement, E1.

The map, modelled on the map of Southeast Asia and China in Pto-lemy’s Cosmographia, originally published with maps in 1477, shows a peninsula in the eastern Indian Ocean which is a rudimentary approximation of Malaya and Indochina. China is placed in eastern-most Asia, ”terminated on the north by the accessible parts of Sercia” (Suarez [1999], pp. 82 and 86). The Chinese coast curves away to east and south so as to meet Terra Australis.

One of the most conspicuous errors in the Ptolemaic maps was the invention of a Terra Australis connecting China with the east coast of Africa and converting the Indian Ocean into a huge lake.

”Perhaps the most extra ordinary part of the story of Ptolemy (Clau-dius Ptolemaeus (fl. A.D. 127-48) is that his writings effectively lay dormant for over a thousand years, and then galloped into European consciousness as fresh and revolutionary in the fifteenth century as they had been in the second century A.D. In truth, although Ptolemy was unknown in Western Europe for the first one and a half millen-nia of Christendom, the Geographia was reviewed by Byzantine acade-

The illustrations were copied by Heckel from woodcut illustrations by Jiao Bingzhen in ”Yuzhi Gengzhi tu”, originally published in 1696. Apparently they are copies of the 23 illustrations i vol. I (the se-cond being on sericulture) of the later Qianlong edition, believed to have been produced in the 1740s. The illustrations show rice growing in its various stages from the initial soaking of the seeds through to the harvesting and treshing.

Ripa, an Italian who arrived in Beijing in 1711 and who became the first non-Jesuit missionary to serve at the Chinese court, transfer-red the 36 woodcuts by Zhu Gui and Mei Yufung after Shen Yu illustrating the two parallel editions in Chinese and Manchu of the Kangxi emperor’s poems on his favourite 36 scenes in his garden of Rehe (Chengde = Jehol) ”Yuzhi Bishu shanzhuang shitu” and ”Han-i araha alin-i tokso de halton de jailaha gi bithe” to copperplate prints in 1713 and 1714, with some alterations.

6241 MANUSCRIPT COPY. BAYER, THEOPHILUS (GOTTLIEB) SIEGFRIED. 18th-century manuscript of Bayer’s ”Museum Sinicum, in quo Sinicae Linguae et Litteratura ratio explicator...”, published in St. Petersburg 1730.

Manuscript, 2 volumes in one, folio (380x270 mm.). Titles, half-title, text in Latin, written in black, brown and red ink in a neat italic hand on thick paper watermarked ”Honig/Zoonen”, ruled in pencil, some phrases or words in Greek, Chinese and Arabic, with 51 FULL-PAGE PLATES OF CHINESE CALLIGRAPHY, one with cal-ligraphic drawing of a bird, index (occasional light surface soiling). Pagination as follows: 12 + 74 + 2 + 84 + 2 + 135 pp. (included one unpaginated page and four blank pages) + 103 pp. (incl. 51 pages with Chinese calligraphy, and seven blank pages) + 104 pp. (last 3 blank). Contemporary Russian red morocco, a little rubbed and scuffed, modern unattractive title-label added. In a mo-dern cloth box.


Apparently the only known manuscript copy of Bayer’s ”Museum Sinicum”. Bayer’s history of sinology and lexicon was published in 1730 in 8:o. The text of the manuscript - a large folio - differs only slightly from the printed text (for example in word order, in the addi-tion of phonetic versions of characters given in western script; words which were to appear in italics in print are here underlined). The final section, not present in the printed book, is an alphabetical index in Latin. Chinese characters are referred to by page number and the number of each character on the page.

The quality of the Chinese characters, executed with both thin and thick brush-strokes, is superior to those reproduced in the published version, which points to that the non-Chinese scribe was well versed in Chinese calligraphy.

II deals at length with the Persian Gulf, India, and the entry into Chinese waters in July 1842, arriving at Macao in November of that year, and canton in January 1843, before returning home via the Dutch East Indies and Goa.

His meticulous log book reflects much more than his ability as a naval commander; it displays a keen and intelligent curiosity about the manners and customs of the various ports of call, with particular reference to their history and political institutions, past and present. Among the ephemeral documents and scraps of paper relating to the voyage, tipped in to the present manuscript, is a letter from Admiral Deperre, Ministère de la Marine et des Colonies, dated Paris 27 July 1842, 2 1/2 pages in 4:o, sent to Captain Page, who was in Manila at the time, congratulating him on his very interesting report on the persi-an Gulf.

Guy-Victor Duperré (1775-1846) was a French admiral, Admiral of France (1830), Peer of France and thrice Naval Minister.

6244 SALA, ILLARIONE. ”Relazione delle cose succedute in Cina 2 Aprile 1705 che giunse Monsig. Patriarcha di Tournon visita-dore ap[ostoli]co a Macao sino alli 12 di nGennaro 1708”. Manuscript in folio (about 273x198 mm), 280 leaves (560 pp., final leaf blank), in four different hands, about 1710.Contemporary full vellum, somewhat soiled and worn, faded spine manuscript title.


The papal legation of Carlo Tommaso Maillard de Tournon to the Sino-Manchu empire (1705-1710) marks one of the crucial turning points in the modern history of the Chinese Church.

Best known and most used of the unedited manuscript records of the legation is the present ”Relazione”, of which Salo’s autograph original, a rough scrawl with many corrections, is in Archivo storico de Propaganda Fide, Rome, SRC 10, ff. 352-451.

In addition to the present manuscript, copies are found in the same archive APF, Informationi 167, ff. 192-432, and in other archival deposits, i. a. Biblioteca Casanatense, Rome, 2678, ff. 237-516, and Biblioteca Corsini. There is also a copy in the Ricci Institute for Chinese-Western Cultural History, San Francisco.

The first printed version of Sala’s narrative appeared in ”Memorie Storiche”, 8, pp. 3-312, Venezia 1762, edited by Domenico Passionei.

Sala’s ”Relazione” is often considered, in fact, as something of an ”official history”, despite its patently unilateral inspiration and its lack of documents (intentionally omitted). Sala was never in Peking. Entering China only two years before Tournon (1703), he did mis-sionary work in Chekiang (Zhejiang) Province until joining up with the patriarch when this latter came to Nanking (17 December 1706) on his way down from the capital. With the storm then brewing, Sala elected to make for Canton (Guangzhou) in a hurry before things got worse and from there followed the exiled Patriarch to Macao. Six months later he took boat for Europe (18 January 1708). On reaching Rome (28 March 1710), he set about writing an account of the papal mission covering the events up to his departure from Macao and founded, he assures us, on the facts as obtained from the Legate himself during the months they lived together.

Manuscript, c. 340x230 mm, 117 numbered pages, written in a neat (?) secreterial hand, stitched in original plain paper wrappers, inscribed in ink on upper wrapper as title in a calligraphic hand, written on board the frigate La Favorite, April 1844.


According to a scrap of paper loosely inserted in this volume, the present manuscript ”Pourrait aller aux archives de la Marine”, sug-gesting perhaps this report, devoted to the Chinese section of Page’s voyage, did not reach Admiral Deperre, unlike Page’s report on the Persian Gulf, which Deperre had received and greatly valued.

(See item xxxx). Captain Page’s detailed report, based on his first-hand experience of the Chinese empire, concentrates on the history, present state and fu-ture development and potential of China, with numerous references to British and Dutch colonial ambitions in the region.

Autograph manuscript log book, 2 volumes, each 340x230 mm, about 160 unnumbered pages (81 leaves), several blanks at end of volume I, densly written in a neat hand, becoming increasingly small towards the end of the second volume, interspersed with nautical observations, financial accounts, meteorological readings and nume-rous pencil and ink sketches of coastal profiles, scenery, architecture and artifacts, stitched in original plain paper wrappers, inscribed in ink on upper covers. Written on board La Favorite, 9 June 1841 to 5 January 1844.Wrappers worn and spotted. Including some inserted loose papers. 2 volumes.


Page departed from the port of Brest in command of the frigate ”La Favorite”, charged with a scientific exploration on behalf of the French governement in the Persian Gulf, Indian Ocean, and the South China Sea.

”In January 1805, [Nikolai Rumiantsev] advised Alexander I to broaden the scope of an expedition to Peking... The embassy would seek China’s agreement to open up both Canton and Nanking to Russian trade, to allow that trade not only on the tiny Bukhtarma but also along the entire Irtysh Line, and to let Russian caravans cross Chinese Turkestan on their way to India through the Karakoram Pass. The choice of an ambassador fell on Count Iurii Golovkin... His instructions incorporated several of Rumiantsev’s proposals. They also called for the opening of trade at Ili and Tarbagatai, the opening of the Amus to Russian shipping and the appointment of a consul at the river’s mouth, the establishment of diplomatic relations with Peking with an ambassador in the Chinese capital, and the sending of ’supervisors’ with Kalmyk pilgrims going to Lhasa in Tibet” (LeDon-ne, p. 174).

However, Golovkin’s mission was, in fact, an absolute failure. The Chinese kept the ambassador waiting at the border, parleying over the size of the party (more than 200 men), for some weeks. Then, after the embassy had finally proceeded to Urga, problems of protocol arose which were so complex that the entire Russian party turned around and returned to Siberia.

But scientific research was made during the expedition by some participating scholars and scientists, and it gave an impetus to further important research afterwards, and therefore, the expedition was not without importence from a scientific point of view. The most no-teworthy are the German scholar Heinrich Julius Klaproth, who ac-companied the embassy as interpreter, Nikita Yakovlevich Bichurin, whos is generally regarded as the founder of Russian Sinology, Joseph Rehmann, and the botanist Ivan Ivanovich Redovski.

James and Philip), with their classmark ”CCLXXVI Cartusie Ast[..]” in bas-de-page of first leaf in apparently fifteenth-century hand, and ex libris: ”Cartusia Astensis” at head of same in late sixteenth-century hand. The house was founded in the eleventh or first half of the twelfth century as a Vallombrosan monastery, but was handed over to the Carthusian Order in the late fourteenth century as part of a papal suppression of the decadent Vallombrosan house. Vatican Library, Cod. Vat. lat. 11276, contains the only known catalogue of the library, numbering 354 codices. The community was suppressed in 1801 and its property confiscated by the Napoleonic government. A small number of the books of the community were permitted to leave with individual inmates (presumably including the present volume), and the remainder were confiscated and put

6246 MINIATURE PRAYERBOOK, in Latin prose and verse, manuscript on parchment [Low Countries, thirteenth century (after c. 1230)]

161 leaves (plus 2 original parchment endleaves and one modern paper at front, and 3 original parchment and 3 modern paper at back), 80 x 55mm., perhaps wanting a Calendar from front, but that here textually complete, collation: i-xi8, xii6 (last 4 leaves originally blank, prayers added in fourteenth century), xiii-xix8, xx4 (wanting ii and iv, but text continuous), xxi7 (wanting last, these lea-ves originally blank and with prayers then added in four-teenth century), single column of 14 lines in a number of good and angular early gothic bookhands, ascenders and descenders in uppermost and lowermost lines reaching far into margins and touched in red, capitals touched in red, some red paragraph marks, red rubrics (some scuffed and faded), simple red initials, occasional corrections or reference words added in margin, a few important ope-nings with three-quarter borders of a blue frame with red and blue half-fleur-de-lys shapes, fol. 45v with drawings of instruments of Passion in black and red ink (Cross, three nails, Crown of Thorns, flagellants’ whip and spearhead), sixth and seventh gatherings loose, thongs at base split af-ter eighth gathering, spots, stains and slight water damage throughout (the latter causing some erosion to gutters of upper parts of some leaves at back), first leaf with small hole, marks on edges of last leaves from a single metal clasp mounted on earlier binding, but overall good and presentable condition; worn seventeenth-century binding with gilt-tooled spine, cracks and small holes in spine.

Provenance: 1. Despite the eighteenth-century inscription in French on one of the front endleaves: ”Petit Livre d’Heures 1402”, there is little here of the fifteenth century. The volume was written in the thirteenth century for the use of a patron from the Low Countries (with SS. Lambert bishop of Maastricht-Liège, Ludger missionary to Frisia and Saxony, Cunibert bishop of Cologne, Willibrord the Northumbrian missionary to the Frisians, Lebuinus the Anglo-Saxon missionary to Frisia and patron of Deventer, and Odulf the canon of Utrecht in the Litany). Further prayers were added, apparently in the fourteenth century to blank leaves in the volume.

2. Roman Kaczmar, acquired 1985: his MS. 10.85, and with his inkstamp.

This volume comprises a large collection of prayers on Christ and the Passion, the Holy Blood, the Stabat mater, the Virgin, the Ave florens rosa, a prayer to be said ”ante Missam” and at other parts of the Mass, including after the Mass of SS. Ambroise and Catherine the Virgin-martyr. The book ends with a Litany, followed by prayers and collects.

We would like to thank Dr. Timothy Bolton for the cataloguing of this lot.

with green burning through parchment in places, some leaves slightly scuffed (but with only occasional illegibi-lity), other leaves with bottom outer corners torn away, spots, stains, small holes and areas of discolouration, nu-merous original flaws in parchment, overall fair condition; faux-gothic binding with leather tooled with ornamental scrollwork arranged in repeating lines on each board, over pasteboards, boards splitting from spine (back board held in place by paper supports on pastedown) and scuffed and cracked at edges.

Provenance: 1. Written and illuminated in southern Germany in the mid-thirteenth century (with St. Michael illustrated within a histo-riated initial, a common southern German feature, which has been linked to the medieval development of the Psalter as a text for private devotion: see E. Klemm in The Illuminated Psalter, 2004, pp. 362-376).

2. From the library of Rockelstad Castle, Sörmland, Sweden: early twentieth-century printed armorial bookplate of Eric von Rosen (1879-1948) pasted to front pastedown. It has previously been thought that this family sold their manuscripts at Sotheby’s, 9 July 1969, as ”the property of a gentleman”, but this volume is not recor-ded there, and was perhaps sold privately in Sweden c. 1969.

The present codex was most probably written and illuminated in the house itself, and the artist of its single full-page miniature names himself in a banderole in the middle of its inner border, apparently as ‘Artiner’: ”A[nno] D[om]ni 1477 Artiner fec[it]”.

This was an important volume for the liturgical life of the Carthusian community at Valmanera, central to their daily worship, and as such may have been carried into exile by the last inmates of the house. Its liturgical readings may well be a unique record of the religious life there.

This impressive chronicle by Foresti (Bergomensis, 1431-1520), was first published in Venice 1483 and the first illustrated edition was published in 1486. It is maybe the first universal chronicle embody-ing the new classical learning of the Renaissance, and a model for Schedel’s ”Nuremberg Chronicle”printed 1493.

Under the year 1452 (fol 402 verso) we find a reference about the invention of printing, on fol. 440-441 on Columbus and the disco-very of America. The woodcuts contain i.a.4 full-page blocks of the Creation, Expulsion, Death of Abel, and Tower of Babel, a world map (a5r), and numerous smaller city views of varying sizes : Verona, Genoa, Rome, Milan, Venice, Liege, Damascus, Athens, Florence, &c.

Stockholm, delvis ciselerat helt guldsnitt (bandet något nött med några repor, liten spricka på främre pärm, rygg skadad i nedre kant, några minimala maskhål, ett spänne löst, lädret till spännena nötta och torra). Enligt Rud-beck är bandet utfört ”1703 å Henrik Keijsers arfvingars verkstad”. I slutet 5 sidor med handskrivna genealogiska- och dagboksanteckningar från 1800-1900-tal. Titelblad med några småfläckar, några sidor med diagonala lätta rostspår (troligen efter något slags bokmärke), text med enstaka små- och brunfläckar, några fuktränder i marginal, ensta-ka understrykningar med rödkrita, några smärre revor i marginalen.

Denna imponerande bibel gavs ut i 4.000 exemplar, varav 2.500 ex-emplar var reserverade för Sveriges kyrkor. Förordet skrevs av ärke-biskop Eric Benzelius. Titeln är graverad av J. van Aveelen, porträttet efter teckning av Axel Sparre, graverat av von Aveelen och planscher-na och kartorna föreställer bl.a. templet i Jerusalem, aposteln Paulus resor m.fl., bl.a. graverade av Truls Arfwedson, Anders Wijkman.

Gelbgjutaren Gottfrid Reman vinner burskap 1704 och kallas då för Reman.

Angående bokbindaren, jämför Rudbeck, Svenska Bokband, del I, s. 149, där det finns ett snarlikt band. Boktryckaren Keijser, som fick rätten att trycka Karl XII:s bibel, hade mot det vanliga ett bokbinde-ri. När han dog 1699 fortsatte änkan Catharina Höök verksamheten och tryckte bibeln och en del exemplar bands på hennes bokbinderi. I Sten G. Lindbergs Mästarband, s. 96-97, beskrivs ett enklare sådant. De små kronorna i hörnen verkar vara gjorda med samma stämplar som på ert och Rudbecks band. Bandet har troligen bundits 1703 eller strax efter, troligen på tryckeriets bokbinderi. Om inte har inbindningen skett i nära samarbete med Catharina Höök, eftersom stämplarna delvis är desamma, t. ex. hos Anders Höök. (Tack till Johan Mannerheim).

Artist and the Book, 138. First edition . The woodcuts printed by F. Bruckmann in Munich.

Kandinsky began work on the woodcuts for Klänge as early as 1907 and several studies for the prints are in the Gabriele Mün-ter Stiftung Munich. Kandinsky had long associated music and writing, and in a letter to Gabriele Munter from 1904 he wrote that a work of art must ”klingen” (sound/resonate). In the brochure published for Klänge published 1913 Kandinsky wrote: ”Ich wollte nichts als Klänge bilden, Sie bilden sich aber von selbst. Das ist die Bezeichnung des Inhaltes, des Inneren. Es ist der Grund, der Boden, auf welchem allerhand, teils von Selbst, teils dank der Hand der berechnenden Gärtners wuchs” (cf. R. Jentsch, p. 60).

”The range of Kandinsky’s work is seen here, from cuts in his early style reminiscent of folk art and Jugendstil to his nonobjective designs, which have been so important in 20th century art. Arp has pointed out that the sonorous quality of Kandinsky’s poetry in Klänge was likewise influential in modern literature and was recited by the Dadaists in the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich” (Artist and the Book 138.)

Perhaps because of the seriousness of the penalty, various rules and procedures were observed at Treason trials (detailed in this work) that were not observed on other charges. These mainly benefited the accused.

Flavius Magnus Aurelius Cassiodorus Senator (c. 485 - c. 585), com-monly known as Cassiodorus, was a Roman statesman and writer, serving in the administration of Theoderic the Great, king of the Ostrogoths. Senator was part of his surname, not his rank.

Cassiodorus spent his career trying to bridge the 6th century cultural divides: between East and West, Greek culture and Latin, Roman and Goth, and between a Christian people and their Arian ruler. He speaks fondly in his Institutiones of Dionysius Exiguus, the calcula-tor of the Anno Domini era. (Wikipedia).

Nils Otto Nordenskjöld (1869-1928), Swedish geographer and polar explorer and nephew of Adolf Fredrik Nordenskiöld, founder of the Northeast Passage. On October 16, 1901, he sailed aboard the Antarctic from Gothenburg and the following February established an Antarctic station on Snow Hill Island off Graham Coast, where he wintered with five companions. Their ship, which had wintered at the island of South Georgia, 54° S and due east of Tierra del Fuego, was crushed in the pack ice when it returned to relieve them in February 1903. Nordenskjöld’s party was again forced to winter in the Antarctic until rescued by the Argentine vessel Uruguay in November 1903.

Nordenskjöld published his extensive findings in Wissenschaft-liche Ergebnisse der schwedischen Südpolar-expedition 1901–1903 (1905–20; ”Scientific Results of the Swedish South Polar Expedition 1901–1903”). He subsequently became professor of geography (1905) and first rector of advanced commercial studies (1923) at the Univer-sity of Gothenburg. (Encyclopaedia Britannica).

One of the most important topographical and architectural works on Sweden by the architect and military engineer Erik Dahlberg. This magnificient work is illustrated with amongs others 3 titles, portraits of kings Charles XI and XII, author’s portrait by S. Blesen-dorff, maps (i.a. ”Veteris orbis arctoi typus” and ”Nova et accurata orbis arctoi tabula geographica”), coat-of-arms of Sweden, views of monuments, settlements, manors, fortifications, cities (Stockholm, Uppsala), castles, gardens, ancient relics, etc.

During his military service and studies in Germany, Erik Dahlberg (1625 1703) became acquainted with Matthaeus Merian the younger, the publisher of ”Theatrum Europaeum” and the ”Topographies”. On his return to Sweden in 1661, Dahlberg obtained a privilege from the Government to make drawings for a similar publication. The en-gravings for this work were executed from these drawings by a total of 18 artists except for a few, which were based on drawings by David Klöcker Ehrenstrahl and Elias Brenner.

The project began in 1667 and the plates were engraved by many contemporary well-known European artists, Jean Marot, A. Perelle, Joh. Jacob von Sandrart, Lepautre, Dionysius Padtbrugge, E. Reitz, W. Swidde, J. van Aveelen, etc.

Riddarholmsbranden den 15 november 1802 startade tidigt på mor-gonen i Kammarrättens gamla hus (Cruuska palatset). Elden spred sig snabbt till södra sidan av huset och tände även taket på gamla Kungshuset (Wrangelska palatset). Vid branden förstördes bland annat det redan då närmare 300-åriga träsnittet Blodbadstavlan som förvarades i Kammararkivet i Wrangelska palatset. (Wikipedia).

Battle of Gangut- two small repairs to outer right margin and lower corner (Naval battle of Hangö).

Fine set of prints depicts decisive battles in the Great Northern War. At the Battle of Lesnaya the Russians defeated a Swedish force under General Lewenhaupt. The confidence of this victory contributed to the more significant victory in the Battle of Poltava, which effectively ended Sweden’s role as a great power in Europe. After the Battle of Poltava King Charles XII of Sweden fled to Turkey to convince the Sultan to declare war on Russia, leading to the Russo-Turkish wars. The Russians enjoyed their first great naval victory in the Battle at Hangö leading to Russian dominance of the Baltic sea. Larmessin was commissioned by Peter the Great to engrave the battle scenes painted by Martin le jeune. The first impressions of these plates have captions in French, and the second and third set have captions in Russian.

Early Swedish fantasy / utopian fiction. In Nyrén’s story, he travels to the Schlarraffenland with the new technology of that time (the Montgolfier Brothers made their first flights in 1783), the hot air balloon, in which he leaves Sweden from Södertörn, south of Stock-holm, travels across the Baltics, Russia, Central Asia and eventually reaches the Pacific, where he enters the parallel fantasy world.

This Swedish translation and updating is based on von Schnebelin’s famous work ”Schlarraffenland” (Nürnberg 1694). The map was made by Johann Laurentz Caton dated 1788, size 485x560 mm, based on maps by Schenk and Homann.

Compare Lundwall: Illustrerad bibliografi över science fiction & fan-tasy 1741-1973 (Stockholm 1974), sid 226-227; Göran Bäärnhielm, article in Biblis 42.

Provenance: Skottorp Castle (Skottorps slott), situated in the pro-vince of Halland, southern Sweden. In 1813 the castle was bought by Peter von Möller, who together with his son Adolf Peter Möller, were the founders of the library.

Hand-coloured (original colour) engraved allegorical map with large figurative cartouche in colours, c. 490x560 mm. Laid down on japan paper, some slight cracks, small repair in the middle, lower corners repaired, some soiling to margins.

Homann’s rare imaginary map of the ”Schlarraffenlandes”, a Ger-man Fool’s Paradise, and a country of idleness and luxury. It is based on the 16th century satire of Hans Sachs, where chickens, geese, and pigeons fly around already cooked and every house is surrounded by a hedge of sausage. Schlarraffenlandes is divided into 19 regions with such names as Prodigalia Regnum (Kingdom of Extravagance), Mag-ni Stomachi Imperium (Empire of Fat Stomachs), Pigritaria (Land of Indolence) and Lurconia (Land of Gluttony) all surrounding a central Venerea Meer (Sea of Lust). There are many amusing names for places, rivers and geographical features, for example the Loafing Department, Braggadocio Center, Fool’s Home, Blasphemy City, Tobacco Island, Sea of Trollops, and the Sea of Drunkenness.

The four kingdoms surrounding Utopia are Youth in the east and Old Age to the west. In the south is Tartari Regnu - the nether regions at the end of the earth or Hell where all inhabitants of Schlarraffenlandes are destined to go. In the north is the Terra Sancta Incognita (Unknown Land of Religion) where Jerusalem is shown shining from a mountaintop. The large title cartouche at bottom is surrounded by figures demonstrating all aspects of human debauche-ry and foolishness.

Jacob Böhme (1575-1624), tysk religionsfilosof och kristen mystiker. Hans skrifter skaffade honom fiender bland katoliker såväl som bland protestanter och han gick i landsflykt till Holland. Genom bland andra Johann Georg Gichtel (1638-1710) forstsatte Böhmes läror att spridas och kan sägas förebåda teosofien.

I Sverige rådde, all annan tryckfrihet till trots, en kyrklig censur, som gjorde det omöjligt att trycka översättningar. Snarare cirkulerade dessa som handskrifter, naturligtvis anonyma, inom slutna sällskap. Böhmes texter fann sina beundrare i sammanhang som Boksamling-en Kristen mystik, och senare, som Flodbergskretsen, liksom bland enskilda, exempelvis Hjalmar Ekström och Eric Hermelin, som jämställde dem med sufismen.

Den första tryckta svenska översättningen (av Carl Henrik Bergman), Sanningens väg framstäld... utkom 1875.

Handskrivna översättningar är kända i ett dussintal fall, varav de fles-ta ingår i Sigtunastiftelsens bibliotek Boksamlingen Kristen mystik.

6485 HANDSKRIFT - ÖVERSÄTTNING AV PASCAL CA 1810. PASCAL, BLAISE - BÉTHUNE, MAXIMILIEN DE (översättare). ”Pascal’s tankar öfver religionen och åtskilliga andra ämnen”. Utan ort, utan år (ca 1810-20).

Folio (308 x 198 mm.). Handskrift omfattande 150 blad skrivna med bläck.Samtida halvfranskt band, rikt guldornerad rygg med fem upphöjda bind och röda titeletiketter, marmorerade pärm-papper och röda stänksnitt (något nött, delvis skadade i övre och nedre kant). Anteckningar med blyerts på främre omslagets insida samt M. de Béthunes namnteckning med bläck på främre pärmens insida. Enstaka småfläckar.

Första svenska översättningen av Pascals ”Pensées sur la religion” (1669)? Den första tryckta översättningen är Modins, ”Tankar i reli-giösa frågor ”, 1890. De första decennierna av 1800-talet hade texten, med sin katolska prägel, knappast kunnat tryckas.

Maximilien de Béthune 1770(?)-1822, påstod sig ha flytt undan den franska revolutionen (antydande släktskap med någon av de adliga Béthune, som senare efterforskningar inte kunnat stödja) och sökt sig till Sverige efter en kortare vistelse i Oxford. Han kom till Stockholm något av de första åren efter 1800 och tycks ha varit verksam som lärare i franska där. 1810 blev han fransk språkmästare vid Uppsala universitet, en post han innehade till sin död 1822.

Redan 1808 publicerades ”Éloge de Gustave III...” till avtäckningen av Gustav III:s staty. 1810 utkom en fransk grammatik, ”Élémens de la grammaire francaise” och 1815 ett 2-sidigt ”Prospekt till fransk språklära för svenskar”. Dessa 3 synbarligen allt av B. som kommit av trycket. Som översättare är han känd i ett fall: På uppdrag av kronprins Karl Johan översatte han 1811 till franska Gustav IV Adolfs brev av den 23/5 1801 till kanslern rörande universitetets lönestat.

I de Béthunes kvarlåtenskap fanns en boksamling omfattande 377 nummer, förtecknade av J. H. Schröder. Detta manuskript var ej upp-taget. Detta gäller även de brev och dokument, som Schröder nämner i brev till Clas Fleming. Schröder menar sig däri ha sett bevis för B:s adliga härkomst, men dokumenten har sedermera inte setts till.

Karl Fredrik Theodor Piehl (1853-1904), svensk språkforskare och egyptolog, bedrev självstudier i ämnet innan han 1881 utsågs till docent i egyptiska språket i Uppsala. Hans i sina egna ögon vikti-gaste verk, ”Inscriptions hiéroglyphiques recueillies en Europe et en Egypte” utkom 1886-1903, alltså efter de föreläsningar Lindwall nedtecknat.

Anshelm Fredrik Wilhelm Lindwall (1859-1931) tycks inte ha gått vidare med de egyptologiska studierna. Hans huvudsakliga produk-tion är inom pedagogik, främst språk- och religionsundervisning.

”Redan år 1745 gavs privilegium att skapa ett Västindiskt kompani åt handelshuset Abr. och Jacob Arfwedson & C:o. men då det spanska sändebudet i Stockholm inlämnade en skarp protest mot företaget, avsade sig firman privilegiet. Sedan Sverige år 1784 erhållit den väs-tindiska ön S:t Barthélemy, framlade statssekreteraren Johan Liljen-crants (1730-1815) ett förslag i Kommerskollegium om inrättande av ett bolag baserat på aktier för att bedriva handel i Västindien. Den 31 oktober 1786 erhöll bolaget privilegier på 15 år att idka handel och sjöfart på den svenska ön S:t Barthélemy och på övriga öar i Västin-dien samt Nordamerika. Officiell räknas dock starten från den 1 ja-nuari 1787. Liljencrants samt Stockholmsgrosshandlarna Arfwedson, Schinkel och pauli skulle leda aktieteckningen. Kompaniets handel gick inte som manhoppats. Den första expeditionen ’gick förlorad’ som följd av kriget med Ryssland 1788. Längre fram förlamades affären genom utfärdade förbud mot införsel av vissa varor, särskilt kaffe. Även de höga kostnaderna pga fartygskapningar gjorde att det affärsmässiga resultatet blev dåligt och Kompaniet upplöstes 1805”.
