2pp. plus one leaf with contemporary inscription on recto. Folio. Dbd. Sign of the cross printed at head of title. Contemporary manuscript annotations in ink, later annotations in pencil. Accomplished in manuscript, with additional manuscript annotations. Manuscript inscription on blank leaf written on March 20, 1756 in Santiago de Chile. Extremely light dampstaining on top margin. Very good. A rare proclamation by Ferdinand VI, King of Spain, who declares that criminals tried for polygamy are to be prosecuted by both the Tribunal of the Inquisition and the Royal Magistrates. This particular decree refers to a case against one Alberto Maldonado, who was tried in the city of Santa Fé in New Granada for the crime of marrying a second time while his first wife was still alive. The King confirms that such a crime pertains to both religious and civil jurisdictions, and such acts are to be prevented by the laws of both realms. This proclamation was to be sent to the viceroys of Peru, New Spain, and New Granada, as well as governors in those domains. This copy, accomplished in manuscript in Buen Retiro, Spain on March 19, 1754, is signed by Joachim Joseph Vazquez y Morales as representative of the King of Spain with the inscription, "Yo El Rey," and the annotation, "Por mand[a]do del Rey." Five separate manuscript inscriptions on the recto and verso of the additional leaf, written in Santiago de Chile in June 1755, document the dissemination of the text to various local authorities. A rare proclamation concerning criminal proceedings against polygamy in the New World. Not in Medina BHA, nor on OCLC.

[44], 487, [7]; [6], 176 pp.Two interesting and complementary medical works, probably designed to match, bound together in contemporary vellum.Ad 1: First edition of a practical manual of surgery by Jan van Beverwijck, in Latin Beverovicus, (1594-1647). He and Andreas Vesalius were among the few physicians of the Low Countries to enjoy international fame. He had studied at Padova, then the most advanced university for medicine, and became town physician and Lector in Surgery at his native Dordrecht. Of interest in the present work is the discussion of and manner of preparation of a large number of healing plants and fruits, preceding the main work on practical surgery.Ad 2: Second edition of an interesting study of the muscular system by Fortunatus Plempius, or Plemp (1601-1671), a physician at Amsterdam and close friends with the famous professor Tulp. At the end is added: "Geschil of het hayr gezielt is, en waerachtelick gevoedt wort", a disputation about hair, debating whether it is alive and really fed. First published in 1630, the present second edition was probably printed to accompany the first edition of Van Beverwijck book.In good condition.l Ad 1: Krivatsy 1199; Bibl. Med. Neerl., p. 290; not in Norman Library; Waller; Wellcome; ad 2: Krivatsy 9103 (also bound with Van Beverwijck); cf. Bibl. Med. Neerl., p. 87 (1630 ed.).

504 pp.First and only edition of a highly interesting "History of Granada" from the Muslim conquest of the Iberian peninsula (ca. 725-770) to the Reconquista, and Granada s capitulation in 1492 to the forces of Ferdinand V and Isabella, King and Queen of Aragón and Castile, signalling the end of an independent Muslim power in Spain.The author is the Spanish novelist and poet Ginés Peréz de Hita (ca. 1544-1619) who attributes his novel to an imaginary Moor Abenhamin. This historical novel is perhaps the earliest example of its kind and certainly the first that attained popularity. It is followed here by a history of the invasion of Spain by the Moors, in Dutch rhetorical verse (pp. 449-504).Peréz de Hita himself probably took part in the campaigns against the Moors beginning in 1560 and his Las Guerras Civiles, or the Civil wars of Granada and the history of the factions of the Zegries and Abencerrages made him famous. It is a major historical novel, a remarkable work of fiction on the basis of history, interspersed with frontier and Moorish ballads, partly already circulating. The work combines historic realty with fictional episodes of romantic love inspired by some 40 ballads ("romances moriscos"), whose texts are included. This brilliant and enchanting tableau of courtly life in Granada with its many colorful festivals and tournaments inspired in its turn many writers, including Cervantes who was fascinated by the chivalrous aspects, and Washington Irving s Chronicle of the conquest of Granada (1829).The novel was translated into Dutch by Isaac Jansz. Bijl, a publicist and translator from Rotterdam, and published by Jan Cloppenburch in 1615.With an 18th century(?) bookplate of "Coker Court", a manor house, in South Somerset, constructed in the fifteenth century: a rooster with cross on its back. From the library of William Helyar, Member of Parliament for Somerset in 1715 who owned Coker Court. The Helyar family owned sugar plantations in Jamaica; with the initials "C.P." on the title-page.

[2], 50 pp.Extremely rare first (and only early) edition of a decree of 15 January 1792 by King Charles IV of Spain. It establishes a college in Granada for educating American and Philippine youth of noble birth. The decree specifies a broad curriculum of political, military, ecclesiastical and legal subjects, with the intent to educate the students for royal service. Besides these theoretical topics, the students would also learn equitation (horsemanship), dancing, fencing and other arts appropriate to their social status. The decree also describes admissions procedures, guidelines for the curriculum and administration, qualifications for the staff and rules of conduct extensively and precisely. Students, for example, are not allowed to use slaves or personal servants, and twenty scholarship students are to be exempted from all fees (one or two each from specified provinces in the Americas and the Philippines), while other students have to pay fees on a sliding scale. The decree gives a glimpse of the regimen and habits, but also the education, in a royal school for noble young boys. A facsimile was published in 1968.In very good condition.l Palau 250290; WorldCat (1 copy); not in JCB; Sabin.

XIII, [1], 15-242, [2] pp.The first (and only early) edition of this detailed study of Arabic inscriptions found in Granada, with the texts of the inscriptions set in naskh Arabic type and also translated into Spanish. It includes many poems, notably those of Ibn Zamrak (1333-93), as well as Lafuente s overview of the history and genealogy of the Moorish Nasrid dynasty (1230-1492) that ruled the Emirate of Granada, the last Islamic realm in Spain. Emilio Lafuente y Alcantara (1825-68), a disciple of Don Pascual de Gayangos and José Moreno Nieto, includes much information from documents he had newly discovered himself. He was "gifted with great erudition and love of scholarship" and condemned Mediaeval Christian intolerance of Islam, the destruction of Arabic manuscripts during the Inquisition and the damage done to the Alhambra by rebuilding under Charles V. In his present first major publication, Lafuente attempts to document surviving Arabic inscriptions in Spain before anyone could destroy or incompetently restore them. This quickly established him as one of the leading oriental scholars of the Iberian peninsula, but his work was cut short by his premature death nine years later.Near contemporary handwritten English annotations in ink and pencil to p. 169, correcting Lafuente s claim that a large vase had disappeared from the Alhambra and probably is to be found "ornamenting the cabinet of some Englishman, passionate for our things": "This is a mistake entirely. The great 2nd jar is in the Museum at Madrid .".

[52] ll. interleaved with tissue paper.In 711, a Muslim army led by Tariq ibn Ziyad conquered most of the Iberian Peninsula, which was then part of the Visigothic Kingdom. This region became known as Al-Andalus, with Cordoba serving as its capital. In 756, Abd ar-Rahman I established the Emirate of Cordoba as an independent state. The present photo album covers in many photographs the magnificent architecture and features of the Great Mosque of Cordoba, which is considered one of the most significant architectural monuments of the western Islamic world. Built in 785, the mosque's most notable feature was its enormous hypostyle hall, comprised of rows of columns connected by double tiers of arches. The lower tier included horseshoe arches and was constructed with alternating red brick and light-colored stone. Abd ar-Rahman II expanded the mosque's dimensions in 836 while preserving its original design. His successors Muhammad, Al-Mundhir, and Abdallah also added new features to the mosque. One of the mosque's western gates, Bab al-Wuzara' (now known as Puerta de San Esteban), is a famous prototype of later Moorish architectural forms and motifs, featuring horseshoe arches with alternating coloured and decorated voussoirs set within a decorative rectangular frame called an alfiz. At the centre of Garzón s photographic work on Córdoba was the Palace of the Lions, also known as the Court of the Lions (Patio de los Leones; ??? ??????). Situated in the center of the Alhambra with its ancient citadel consisting of a complex of forts, palaces, and gardens, this is one of the most buildings of the period of Muslim rule. The palace was commissioned by the Nasrid sultan Muhammed V of the Emirate of Granada during the second phase of his reign, between 1362 and 1391 AD. The general layout of the Palace of the Lions courtyard comprises an elongated rectangle with two halls facing each other at opposite ends, which is a common feature in numerous earlier palaces throughout Al-Andalus, including other Nasrid palaces located within the Alhambra (such as Comares Palace). Similar designs can even be traced back to the 10th century at Madinat al-Zahra, located near Cordoba. What sets the Palace of the Lions apart is the addition of two more halls, which face each other across the courtyard's shorter axis. This innovation is accompanied by an extension of the columned portico to encompass all four sides of the courtyard. The four converging water channels within the courtyard's floor are generally believed to be a symbolic representation of Paradise, which both Muslim and Christian traditions describe as having four rivers. This arrangement may have drawn inspiration from the Persian chahar bagh tradition, which involves a garden divided into four symmetrical parts along its central axis. The Palace of the Lions combines this with the classical peristyle tradition, which features a portico or arcade surrounding a courtyard. Other monuments in Al-Andalus and North Africa, where they are commonly referred to as a riad (or riyad), also feature gardens with a chahar bagh-type quadripartite division.Rafael Garzón (1863-1923) was born in Granada became known as one of Spain s foremost photographers of the early twentieth century. He owned studios situated inside the Alhambra of Granada, and in Seville. His photographic work mainly focused on capturing the landscapes and monuments of Andalucía, particularly his photographic portraits, which gained him recognition. His studio inside The Alhambra became particularly famous. Upon his arrival in Seville in 1901, he established a studio with an elaborate Arabic theme to enhance his photographs. He photographed the aristocrats of Seville, as well as the earliest tourists of the 19th century who visited Andalucía. The spread of his photographs contributed greatly to the rising touristic interest in Spain. Garzón's photography encompassed two distinct styles. His monumental photography of prominent Spanish structures such as the Alhambra, the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, and the Cathedral and Reales Alcázares of Seville. The other style was a popular type of photography, designed to cater to the preconceived notions of foreign visitors seeking classic gypsy portraits from Sacromonte or the Carmenes from Córdoba or Seville. His photographic work was both of high quality and commercially attractive, and Garzón distributed them in various formats, including postcards, collector's items, and travel books.The binding shows very slight signs of wear, mainly around the foot of the spine, the interleaved tissue paper is slightly browned, the upper-outer corner of the leaves is occasionally slightly dustsoiled.
