"During the many epidemics in Paris between 1570 and 1579, Baillou developed the idea of the ephemerides, which influenced the work of Thomas Sydenham. He was thus the first Occidental epidemiologist since Hippocrates. He left excellent descriptions of the plague (and possibly of typhoid fever); of measles. . . and of diphtheria whose choking false membranes he identified. . . ." (DSB). Krivatsy 591.

Thrum. 1920 [1919 on cover]. $140

Pp. [i-vii] + 360-546. 32.2 x 24.2 cm. Wrappers.

389. Lever, Charles. Charles O’Malley, the Irish Dragoon. Edited by Charles Lever. Copyright Edition for Continental Circulation. In Three Volumes. Leipzig: Bernh. Tauchnitz Jun., 1848. $75

3 volumes. 15 x 10.7 cm. Contemporary half-calf and moire cloth, gilt-stamped spines, marbled edges; spines a bit sunned; a bit of extremity wear to volumes; light internal foxing. Vol. cxlii in the Tauchnitz series "Collection of British Authors." Irish novelist Charles Lever was known for his well-written portrayals of military and Irish life.

296a. Lorca, Federico Garcia. The Poet in New York and other poems of Federico Garcia Lorca. The Spanish text with an English translation by Rolfe Humphries. NY: Norton, ©1940. $2500

Orange cloth with dustjacket. 209 pp. 21.8 x 14.3 cm. First edition with $2.50 price on dustjacket flap. Some chipping at head of dustjacket backstrip and three tears at top edge; fold at front edge worn and tender with short, irregular split; some light surface soil; dustjacket backstrip darkened and with a few light stains. What looks like a faded strip nearly a half inch wide at the front edge of the dustjacket is actually unprinted paper; the pale printed background tone stops far short of the edge of the cover, and the texts on both flaps run to the folds, as if the designer had expected the book to be a quarter inch narrower. The orange cloth is relatively fresh. There are shallow dents on the top and front edges of the front cover. At the top of p. 11 there is a small brown smear from the pigment used to stain the top edge. Some leaves have light diagonal creases in the top quadrant near the gutter from the folding of the sheets during binding. Despite these small defects, an unusually good copy. [Added 12/30/2002.]

NO COMPLETE SETS LOCATED

Printed wrappers, soiling and wear to some, mostly light, several with dampstain; occasional light foxing, in general, internally very good to fine. Four last issues lacking printed wrappers, No. 38 disbound. Other publishers: Joseph Darke (No.4) , Folsom et Allen (Nos. 8-13), "Imprimé pour l’Éditeur" (Nos. 14-17). According to ULS, the complete run was of 38 issues, from October 8, 1825 to June 24, 1826. NUC gives substantial but incomplete holdings at New York Public Library and a few issues at 3 more libraries. Not located in ULS, RLIN or OCLC. The Catalogue collectif lists French holdings only at the Bibliothèque nationale (nos. 2-25). Edouard Louvet, from Calvados, published several poetical works in France in 1824 and edited Le Propagateur louisianoise, journal hebdomadaire du Cercle social . . . . (New Orleans) in 1827.

401. [Richter, Christoph Gottlieb (1716/17?-1774)]. Die redende Thiere über Menschliche Fehler und Laster (uber). [Parts 16-23]. Franckfurt / Leipzig: 1742 - 1744. $600

16.8 x 10 cm. 134; 102; 128, [24]; 104, [30]; 131, [1]; 108, [2]; 110, [2]; 116, [2] pages. 8 copper-engraved plates. Period full calf tooled in blind, joints cracked, edges lightly foxed; overall very good. Richter was a Bavarian lawyer, writer, critic and publisher, whose enormous literary output, mostly anonymous or pseudonymous, is largely unknown. Die redende Thiere (The Talking Animals) ran to 44 parts published serially 1741-1746. Despite a superficial resemblance to fable, the series was actually a vituperous commentary on events during the then-raging War of the Austrian Succession, sympathetic to Empress Maria Theresa and critical of Karl VII of Bavaria, whose armies had invaded Austria. One assumes the material was too inflamatory for publication within Bavaria itself, thus its anonymous publication in Hessia and Saxony. Only entry in OCLC is part 16, 1742, at Duke University.

402. Roccheggiani, Lorenzo. Invenzioni diverse di mobili ed utensili sacri e profani per use comuni della vita. raccolte ed incise in molte Tavole da Pietro Ruga coi disegni di Lorenzo Roccheggiani. Milano: Fratt. Vallardi, [ca. 1811?]. $450

Engraved title page & 100 engraved pls. Plain brown wrs. 22.5 x 32.5 cm (oversquare). A rich collection of furnishings and design elements, including frames, vases, and carriages. Egyptian influence appears several times. Plates 16, 59, and 85 have been pricked for tracing, with the 5 to 9 following plates affected. The wrs. are torn and shabby. The title page is very dusty and foxed; the first 20 and the last few plates have turned corners; moderate foxing throughout (heavier on plates 1, 39, and 100); inconspicuous library stamps on verso of title page (withdrawn); a few other minor faults. Despite these defects, this is a fascinating source of Empire-Period design. OCLC locates copies only at UCLA, Tulane, and V&A. Those measure 20 x 27 cm, so this apparently is a large-paper copy.

ONE HUNDRED HAND-COLORED PLATES
406. Scelta di Lettere Edificanti scritte dalle Missioni Straniere preceduta da Quadri Geografici Storici, Politici, Religiosi e Letterari dei Paesi di Missione accresciuta di un Ragguaglio Storico sulle Missioni Straniere di Nuove Lettere Edificanti ed altri scelti pezzi.

Nicely bound in modern half-cloth and boards, brown morocco labels; edges foxed and a little light intermittent foxing in some volumes; fine. These letters from Jesuit missionaries around the world first appeared in early 18th-century France. This Italian ed. is handsomely printed on wide-margined rag paper. Discusses China, India, Greece, Persia, Armenia, Syria, Egypt, Ethiopia, and Japan. Several vols. on the Americas describe Canada, California, Louisiana, Peru, Chile and Paraguay. The letter from California is an extract of the first widely circulated account of California, Father Picolo’s report to the Consejo Real de Guadalajara, 10 February 1702 (see Howes L414 for the appearance of this letter in the abridged British edition of the first 10 volumes of the French edition, Lettres Edifiantes, 1743; see also, p. 390 of Cowan for the French edition of 1705). Includes a plate depicting Native Californians, but not Father Kino's map. Louisiana covers about 90 pages, and 210 pages are devoted to Canada.

Engraved frontis. & 22 engraved folding plates of musical examples at end of book.

About 21.5 x 12.5 cm. The usual insults of age, with some foxing here and there, and the usual darkening; some turned corners and one leaf with the front edge badly creased. The rather crude vellum spine and corners have fared very well, but the boards are heavily worn and rubbed, especially on the edges; the rear leading edge is soft and probably will want some restoration. The plates, on the other hand, are in excellent condition, with no edges creased and no misfolds. In the US there has been no copy sold at auction since 1979, although there are some recent German records.

209 pp. + [3] pp. (incl. adv. listing other works by EWK). About 33 x 26 cm. Dec. bds. with backstrip missing; extremities worn; various marks on covers. Title page bears stamp: Thelma Steiner. Despite the apparent discrepancy on the date between this copy and two different listings in OCLC, this certainly appears to be the original edition. The next-to-last leaf describes the Vorzugsausgabe in 100 copies, signed, bound in half-vellum. No copies appear in American Book Prices Current since 1988.

425. Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus. La clemenza di Tito. Opera serial del Sign. W. A. Mozart, aggiustata per il piano-forte del Sign. A.E. Müller. Hamburgo: Presso Giovanni Augusto Böhme. N.d. $750

(1977), is the closest to this version, but the publisher has a different address, and the plate no. is 241. Therefore, this likely is a later edition. Not located in OCLC.
