— Messes des Dimanches et des Saints de l'anneé, selon l'usage de l'ordre des FF. Prescheurs. 1710 . A l'usage de Soeur M. Aldegonde de S. Joseph ditte Errembault. S.l. (Southern Belgium, Northern France), 1710, manuscript on paper, (2)(title in red and black) + 360 pp + (11)nn pp + 17 pp (index) + (1)(additions to index) + (6)(blank), bound in contemporary black leather with brass clasps (one clasp missing), pages 10-13 a bit dustsoiled and frayed, but a nicely preserved manuscript. The manuscript contains the music for the Roman Catholic Sunday masses during the year, and also for the Saints. As indicated in the title the book was for the use of a sister of the Dominican order. This is further corroborated by the large title on pp 268 for the feast of Saint Dominique. The manuscript contains 9 staves to the page and is entirely written in black and red. Only p 268 contains a few blue letters and 1 gilt one. The text has been added to the staves in a very careful handwriting. Titles and initials are in red. At the end (unnumbered pages) is added a ''Missa Antverpiensis'' clearly in a later less careful handwriting. This hand made also some additions to the index. We have not been able to identify the original owner of the manuscript. Her name does not figure in the Monasticon Belge. In 1710 there were ca. 30 convents for female Dominicans on the actual Belgian territory. The Errembault family most probably originates from the Hainaut region. price: €1650.00 |

The fact Dutch is used for this scientific study is remarkable, and terms like Blad-wyzer for index and Samenstel for system show the author to be language-conscious. Rare, we could not trace the author, neither in Pritzel nor in Johnston (Cleveland collection), nor in the catalogue ''Hortus Belgicus'' where a chapter is devoted to 18th botany in Flanders. price: €800.00 |

He made his religious profession at the Abbey of St. Peter, Salzburg, in 1706, and was ordained to the priesthood in 1713. Having been made a Doctor of Canon and Civil Law (1715), in 1721 he succeeded Benedict Schmier, as professor of canon law at the Benedictine University of Salzburg, where he remained for a period of twenty years. In 1729 he was appointed vice-chancellor of the university. The "Commentarius in Jus Canonicum universum" which Bocken published at Salzburg (1735-39), is his most important work. He had previously (1722-28) issued a number of treatises on the five books of the Decretals, these, now thoroughly revised and supplemented, were incorporated in his larger work, to the third volume of which, in an appendix, he also added a lengthy disquisition "De praescriptionibus". A reprint of the "Commentarius" appeared at Paris in 1776. Bocken's work, like that of the Salzburg canonists generally, is one of definite value. (Catholic Encyclopedia). price: €475.00 |

A rare complete set of a late 18th century liturgical edition by the Antwerp Plantin Press, illustrated with full page copperengravings, printed throughout in red and black, with vignettes and tailends printed either in red or black from woodengravings. The breviary was one of the most important liturgical books in the Roman catholic church. These in-4° editions served for the daily readings by the religious communities. Because of this daily manipulating and the rather regularly changings of the texts, which led to the discarting of outdated versions; complete and good copies of pre-1800 breviaries are very rare,even more so in a luxury binding. price: €1850.00 |

Contemporary full vellum, contemporary name made illegible on title leaf, but a fine copy. First edition of Pieter de la Court's treatise on gardening, hothouses, and pineapple and citrus fruit cultivation. Pieter de la Court van der Voort, a cloth merchant at Leiden, discusses in this book theoretical aspects of garden design. He published the book in 1737 based on 50 years of experience. He practised his ideas at his estate "Allemansgeest" (today's "Berbice") at Voorschoten near Leiden... Besides a theoretical treatise de la Court also gives much practical information on gardening. He discusses amply the cultivation of the pineapple, one of his favourite subjects. He grew these plants in quantities and kept them during the winter in a heated glasshouse and in summer in the "tan frame". He is considered to have been the first to successfully cultivate the pineapple on a large scale in northern Europe. Nine plates illustrate citrus fruit, pineapples, and a tuberose. Five of these are by Jan Wandelaar. The other four are by J.C. Philips. The remaining six plates comprise one plan and five designs of glasshouses, by J. van der Spyk and F. van Bleyswyck.

Therefore he published the fourth part which deals almost exclusively with descriptive geometry and projection. In this field of mathematics great progress was made in France at that time with e.g. Amédée-François Frézier and later Gaspard Monge. price: €4800.00 |

| item 10314 | GENERALE KEIJSERLIJCKE INDISCHE COMPAGNIE - Jean De Pret - Pietro Proli - Marquis de Prié - (Antwerp 1723)
— Generaele Keijserlijcke Indische Compagnie. Original share certificate of the famous ''Compagnie d'Ostende''. Antwerpen, 27th August 1723, in-plano, 32 x 20 cm, copper engraved coat of arms, printed text with manuscript additions and signatures. Original sharecerticate of 1.000 Fl of the India trading company of the Southern Low Countries, then under Austrian Habsburg rule. The company was created by leading Antwerp businessmen on the instigation of emperor Charles VI of Vienna, who wanted to get his share of the very lucrative trade with the East and West Indies which had been until then in the hands of England and the Northern Low Countries. It became in fact so successful that the European competitors obtained its liquidation when the succession of the emperor had to be negotiated (Treaty of Vienna in 1731, which brought the empress Maria-Theresia on the throne). The share is autographed by the directors Jean de Pret, Pietro Proli, Louis-François de Cooninck, De Kimpe. As the shares had to be paid in four parts of 250 Fl each they also bear four times the receipt signature of the head-cashier of the company, Jean-Baptiste Cogels Le Jeune. Provenance: The share is issued to the Marquis de Prié (Piémont 1658 - Vienna 1726), who was at that time ''Ministre Plénipotentier". He opposed the creation of the company because he rather preferred to do this India trade business in his own secretive and fraudulent way. He nevertheless subscribed for 150 shares '' to give his subjects the impression that he favored the initiave''. When ''the vilain'', as his surname was, was finally deposed (December 23, 1724) he stayed in Brussels and had to sell his furniture and his shares in order to avoid bankrupcy. This shows in our document as the acknowledgement for the receipt of the last payment of 250 Fl bears the signature of the new owner Johan Baptiste de Foullon. See: Donnet, Histoire financière d'Anvers., and also B.N. XVIII pp 231-243. A truly remarkable document in a perfect state of preservation. (scripophily) price: €1200.00 |

Bound in half leather with marbled boards, red title label on spine (modern). First leaves with some thumbmarks, but a fine copy. Copy from the library of D. van Reysschoot - Gent, with his blindstamp in the upper right corner of the half title. He was a professor at the Academy of Music in Ghendt (Flanders) at the beginning of the 20th century. Inserted is a letter of the wellknown Berliner music antiquarian Leo Liepmannssohn offering 1800 Belgian francs for this book ( dated 29 januari 1930). Obviously this deal did not work out as we could purchase the book in Belgium. Parida ed Elena , in first edition here , is the socalled third and last program opera by Gluck (after ''Orfeo and Euridice'' and ''Alceste''). In the 4 pp introduction/dedication the composer states again some ideas which guided him by the composition of this opera. This text, in Italian, marks the beginning of a new artistic awareness in Western music. The complete score is entirely printed in woodcut by Johann Thomas von Trattner (1719 - 1798) one of the most important bookprinters of the 18th century in Austria, who became a wealthy society figure and was intimately befriended with Mozart. He lived in the Trattnerhof, where Mozart organized subscription concerts in 1784. His second wife Maria Theresia von Nagel was a pupil of Mozart's. price: €12000.00 |

Nice copy with only minimal wear at binding. See Goldsmiths'-Kress no. 09859A. Higgs , H. Bibl. of economics 2944, 2946. Joseph François Dupleix ( 1697 - 1763) was the French colonial administator who defied the British East India Company and who tried to acquire territorial and political control in India. He failed in this policy and upon his forced return to France he claimed 13 millions from the Compagnie des Indes, money which he had advanced from his own pocket to finance the French campaigns against the English in India. He died in 1763, the same year as this defence by the Compagnie des Indes was published. This defence is an answer by the company to a '' Memoire pour le Sieur Dupleix...'' Goldsmiths 9478A, published by Dupleix in 1759. In the second part of the memoire by the Company , called '' Pieces justificatives...''. pp. 71-161 are exclusively devoted to the accounts of the Company in India. The Company's defence seems to be much rarer than Dupleix memoire, possibly because his death in 1763 resolved the matter.

Il entra à l'Académie des sciences comme associé vétéran (1771). Sa passion pour le théâtre lui fit composer des tragédies, dont Clytemnestre (1764), dédiée à son ami Voltaire.

— Flammulae Amoris S.P. Augustini Veribus et Iconibus Exornatae. (Suite of 30 engravings on japan paper). Antverpiae, (Antwerpen) Apud Henricum & Cornel. Verdussen, 1708, suite of 30 engravings on japan paper (modern impressions). These emblematical illustrations were first issued in 1628 by H.Aertssens. In this first edition most of the plates were signed by G.Collaert (MPM A 3980). A second edition followed in 1639 (MPM A 4012). For this third edition obviously a new set of plates was made. They are all unsigned and have received a thin frameline. (MPM A 2802, B.C.N.I. n°16672,FUNCK pp. 338). Funck notes that ''l'édition de 1708 (a) de très mauvaises figures. Quelques figures n'avaient pas paru dans l'édition de 1629, mais sont mal gravées. After collation we can ascertain that the plates 4, 6, 14, 18, have indeed been added to the third edition, and that they appear in a slightly different style. Our overall judgment on the quality of the suite is however much less harsh than Funck. This is a nice set of emblematical engravings printed on thick japan paper. The set is kept in red cloth box. price: €325.00 |

(See Milliard 123, Berlin Catalogue 2599, Cohen/de Ricci 750-751). Jean François de Neufforge (Liège-Belgium 1714 - Paris 1791) conceived the plan for this vast undertaking in 1755. It was finished in 1780 and ruined the author. According some authors (e.g. Wend von Kalnein) this publication is the most important theoretical work of the period. Neufforge built little or nothing himself, his powers of invention being channelled into the creation of these 900 designs, allmost all engraved by himself. Published with the approval of the Paris Academy, they demonstrate the fusion of the French academic tradition with the growing interest in antiquity, and so became a major influence in the growth of neo-classicism.
