‎Le Bourru Comedie. - [NO KNOWN COPIES IN THE TRADE]‎

‎A la Haye, Aux Depens de la Troupe des Comediens, 1706. 12mo. In floral coloured wrappers with leather back-strip. Wear to extremities, title-page with underlignings in red. Internally nice and clean. 60 pp.‎

‎ The exceedingly rare first edition of “Le Bourru”, a comedy in 24 acts, a fine example of early eighteenth-century comic theater drawing heavily on the tradition of Molière. We have not been able to trace a single copy in the trade, nor does OCLC list any copies. The authorship has puzzled readers and bibliographers since its publication: Immediately after its publication it was, questionably, attributed to playwright Jean Palaprat. The attribution seems to originate from a confusing bibliographic note by Beauchamps in 1706, which have been misread or misinterpreted over time. This early note ambiguously linked Le Bourru to Le Grondeur, a known play co-authored by Brueys and Palaprat which created a trend among bibliographers to assume Palaprat's authorship. Subsequent scholars and catalogers (De Mouhy, de la Vallière and Professor Koch) accepted this assumption with varying levels of caution, gradually turning it into a fact. Spire Pitou concluded (in “Jean Palaprat and Le Bourru (1706)”“Modern Language Notes”, Vol. 75, No. 4, 1960) that the Palaprat-attribution is a result of bibliographic tradition rather than actual evidence and that the author is anonymous. The paper also suggests that the play was probably written for a military audience in Holland as it was published in The Hague and set in Namur and contains no offensing political content. ‎

‎Cambridge Gloss on the Apocalypse. Cambridge University Library Dd.X.16‎

‎, Brepols, 2020 Paperback, 167 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:1 col., Language: English. ISBN 9782503582405.‎

‎Summary The Glossa in Apocalypsin (Cambridge Gloss on the Apocalypse) is a recently-discovered anonymous Hiberno-Latin (that is, authored by an Irish cleric writing in Latin) commentary on the Apocalypse of John found in a tenth-century manuscript at Cambridge University Library. This gloss is written in a similar style to other Irish-authored exegetical texts of the same period. That is, the author proceeds verse by verse through the entire Apocalypse, citing short phrases or even single words of the biblical text, followed by brief explanations that serve to clarify meaning and are often moral or allegorical in nature, as well as offering alternative interpretations of a given passage. The text has a marked dependence on the hermeneutical method of the fourth-century Donatist Tyconius as laid out in his Liber Regularum (Book of Rules), and applied in his Exposition on the Apocalypse. The Cambridge Gloss promotes an ecclesiological and spiritual interpretation of the Apocalypse, muting speculation about an imminent endtime scenario. The gloss contains numerous references to heretics, emphasises the hierarchy and the privileged role of teachers within the church, and likely dates from the eighth century, the 'Northumbrian Golden Age', exemplified by the works of Bede the Venerable and Alcuin of York. This English translation (accompanied by numerous notes) is intended to give readers an insight into understanding the viewpoint that medieval exegetes held in explaining the Apocalypse of John. The source text of this volume appeared in Corpus Christianorum, Series Latina as Glossa in Apocalypsin e codice Bibliothecae Vniuersitatis Cantabrigiensis Dd.X.16 (CC SL, 108G). References to the corresponding pages of the Corpus Christianorum edition are provided in the margins of this translation.‎

‎The state of the present rebellion, wherein the unreasonableness and injustice of it is demonstrated. - [DEFENSE OF THE THRONE FOLLOWING THE JACOBITE RISING OF 1715]‎

‎London, Printed for J. Baker and T. Warner, 1716. 8vo. In a contemporary Cambridge-style mirror binding with five raised bands. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. Light wear and miscolouring to extremities, corner bumped. A few corrections and cross-outs in text. Small worm-tract to lower outer corner of last 20 ff. (16), 206 pp. (Pp. 50-63 misnumbered).‎

‎The rare first edition of this anonymously published political and religious treatise that addresses the dangers posed by the ongoing rebellion against the British monarchy during a period of political and religious turmoil following the Jacobite rising of 1715. “The following Discourse was occafion'd by a Sermon preach'd Nov. 15. 1715. It was some time before I refolved upon the Publication of it, and then thought fit to add in proper Places, the Substance of several other Sermons which related to the same Subject which with other Thoughts occurring, swell'd the Book to a much larger Bulk than I at first intended. The main Design is, partly to demonstrate the Unreasonableness, Impiety, and Wickedness of those who rife up in Rebellion against our only Rightful Sovereign King George, endeavour to dethrone him, and set up a Popish Pretender to his Crown” (From the preface to the present work). The Jacobite rising of 1715 was the attempt by James Edward Stuart (or the Old Pretender) to regain the thrones of England, Ireland and Scotland for the exiled Stuarts. The English Jacobites allied with Scottish Jacobites under the command of William Gordon they marched into England, where they encountered Government forces at the Battle of Preston on November 12–14. Initially, the Jacobites gained the upper hand, however, the arrival of Government reinforcements the following day turned the luck which lead to the eventual surrender of the Jacobite forces.This main sermon/discourse of this present work was written on November 15th, that is immediately after the fall of the Jacobites. Probably due to the instability and relatively insecure future the author has wished to remain anonymous. The document is structured to provide an analysis of the causes and consequences of the rebellion, underlining the author's position that the monarchy and the Church of England must be upheld to maintain social order and stability. The book criticizes the growing influence of dissenting religious groups particularly those associated with Calvinistic beliefs, arguing that their rebellion against the established order was both treasonous and destabilizing.

‎Uber die gegenwartige Verfassung des turkischen Staates. - [ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE OTTOMAN EMPIRE]‎

‎Hermannstadt, Hochmeister, 1790. 8vo. In contemporary (original?) blue paper covered boards with gilt lettering to spine. Corners bumped and boards with scratches. Internally fine and clean. 276, (10) pp.‎

‎Exceedingly rare work on the state of the Turkish/Ottoman empire. The author is anonymous but with a focus on state income, state administration, juristically aspects and visits by foreign ministers and embassies, the author was most likely a diplomat in the Ottoman Empire. The late 18th century was a dire period for the Ottoman Empire which was facing several challenges and undergoing significant changes. Here are some key aspects of its state during that time. It was in a state of decline and facing numerous challenges, both internally and externally. While efforts were made to reform and modernize certain aspects of the empire, they were often met with resistance and were insufficient to reverse the overall decline.‎

‎n.d. (ca. late 18th century) Anonymous Manuscript. Decorated title-page, 399 p., 4to, black half cloth from around 1900 with marbled boards (wear on extremities). Well written in a regular hand. Lower right corner (blank) of first few pages with some water-damp damage (not affecting the text)Seems to be a translation [complement?] into French from a part of Rösel van Rosenhof’s famous work ‘’Der monatlich-herausgegebenen Insecten-Belustigungen’’. This work was published in German, and Dutch. Although the physician J.F. Isenflamm (1726- is said to has published a translation (without plates?) in 1779, it seems very rare and I could not find a physical trace of that book.Manuscrit anonyme, page de titre décorée, 399 p., 4to, demi-toile noire postérieure (vers 1900) à coins. Belle écriture régulière à la plume sur papier réglé, Très bon état général, quelques traces d'humidité en marge des premiers feuillets (avec un peu de manque de papier au coin inferieur) et sur une page. Semble constituer un complément d'informations à [ou une traduction d’une partie de] l'ouvrage de Roesel von Rosenhof "Der monatlich-herausgegebenen Insecten-Belustigungen", sur les premiers états de papillons nocturnes et diurnes. Ce livre était publié en Allemand et Hollandais. Bien que le Docteur J.F. Isemflamm apparement a publié une traduction en 1779, aucune trace physique de ce livre a était trouvé par moi.‎
