8º, perg. a la romana, firmada Arias. 8 hs. +
411 p. + 1 h.
Rare early edition of the prototype of
the picaresque novel, Guzman de
Alfarache.
The novel prepared the way for the
acceptance of Cervantes' Don Quixote
by the literary public of Europe; and,
like Don Quixote, it quickly inspired a
sequel. The original part I first
appeared in 1599; Lujan de Sayavedra's
fraudulent sequel in 1602; and Aleman's
own retaliatory sequel in 1604. Aleman
is said to have gone through adventures
similar to those described in his novel.
While in jail for embezzlement,
allegedly committed when an
accountant of the Royal treasury, he is
said to have met Cervantes who had
been imprisoned for debt.

Picart & Bernard’s Religious Ceremonies of the World
First English edition, 1733-37
The dedication of the Synagogue of the Portuguese (Sephardic) 6
PICART, Bernard
The ceremonies and religious customs of the various nations of the
known world.
London, William Jackson, 1733-1737. Folio. 7 in 6 vols. All title pages printed in
red and black. Numerous engravings head and tailpieces and initials, and 243
plates. Contemporary calf, spine elaborately gilt with double giltstamped red labels.
A perfectly preserved tall paper copy of this beautifully illustrated ethnographic
work on the world's religions.
Bindings a little rubbed, two vols, lighly restaurationin gilt, in otherwise an
excellent and unusually wide-margined complete copy in uniform bindings with
elaborately gilt spines.
Just as influential as the text, Picart’s engravings were small masterpieces, drawn
from life wherever possible and otherwise taken respectfully from the most
authentic sources. “He insisted on capturing every detail of dress and ceremonial
disposition. This level of accuracy was essential to the credibility of comparisons
between religious practices that were developed in the text” (Hunt p. 147). At the
same time, the engraver “constantly strove to make foreign deities, practices or
processions more palatable to European viewers while still remaining true to the
sources.
He achieved this effect in various ways: “by putting unfamiliar deities on classical pedestals, by excluding the scenes of
greatest violence depicted by his predecessors, by promoting a sense of identification with those depicted, and ultimately,
by setting up subtle comparisons between Western and non-Western, civilized and savage, or Christian and pagan
rituals” (Hunt p. 150).
Volumes three and four are dedicates to “ceremonies of the idolatraous nations” with a large section focusing on
NATIVE AMERICAN INDIANS:
Native peoples of Canada, Virginia, Florida, Hispaniola, Mexico, Venezuela, the Caribbean, etc.

“Important for containing the evidence, as embodied in the correspondence between Leibnitz and Jean
Bernoulli, on the questions of the rival claims to superiority in the invention of the calculus between Newton
and Leibnitz” states Babson. “It was the only serious claim published in Leibnitz’s favour and a tardy answer to
the Commercium Epistolicum, which gave the evidence in Newtons’s favour” Nevertheless, as Babson adds,
Leibnitz’s notation was undoubtedly superior to Newton’s fluxional one.

reputation of Acosta, as this was one
of the very first detailed and realistic descriptions of the New World. In a form more concise than that employed
by his predecessors, Francisco Lopez de Gómara and Oviedo, he treated the natural and philosophic history of
the New World from a broader point of view. In it, more than a century before other Europeans learned of the
Bering Strait, Acosta hypothesized that Latin America's indigenous peoples had migrated from Asia. He also
divided them into three barbarian categories. The Historia also described Inca and Aztec customs and
history, as well as other information such as winds and tides, lakes, rivers, plants, animals, and
mineral resources in the New World. 1,700$

Text of the Peace Treaty signed between Spain and
France on the one part, and England on the other, in
Paris on 10th February, 1763. By this Treaty, France
ceded to Britain the whole of Canada, with Nova
Scotia, the island of Cape Breton, and all other islands
in the Gulf and River of St. Lawrence, “without
restriction, and precluding the possibility of any lawful
claim being made, on any pretext, against this cession
and guarantee; neither shall Great Britain be disturbed
in the above-mentioned possessions.” England also
agreed to grant religious freedom to the French
Catholics in Canada; certain rights to fishing in the
Gulf of St. Lawrence; and ceded to France the islands of
St. Pierre and Miquelon for the convenience of French
fishermen.
Moreover, the Mississippi was named as the boundary
line dividing English and French territory in America;
the line was to be drawn in the centre of the river, from
its source to the Iberville, and from there across the
lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain to the sea; “and to
this end, the Most Christian King [Louis XV] cedes to
His Britannic Majesty the River and Port of Mobile and
all that he possesses or should have possessed to the
left of the Mississippi, with the exception of the city
and island of New Orleans which shall remain French”;
the navigation on the Mississippi being equally open to
English and French subjects.
B y t h i s Tr e a t y, a l s o ,
Britain restored to Spain
all that had been
conquered on the Island
of Cuba, including the
Garrison at Havana.
The treaty set the stage
for the struggle between
Great Britain and Spain
over control of the Pacific
Northwest, which played
out dramatically some 25
years later in the Nootka
Incident. Sabin 96553.

Roberto Moreno states in his edition of José Ignacio
Bartolache. Mercurio volante (1772-1773) (México, Universidad

It is only known through a inexact reproduction done in 1831

José Ignacio Bartolache (1739-1789). Described by Osores as
“uno de los ingenios más laboriosos de los útimos tiempos” (see
Medina, Mexico 5286) was a Mexican mathematician and
doctor of wide literary and scientific interests who published a
scientific journal, Mercurio Volante. In 1769 , together with his
colleague Antonio Alzate he was asked by the Lord Mayor of
the city of Mexico to take measurements of the passage of
Venus over the city town hall. Their measurements were
published in the Royal Academy of Science of Paris. Also
present at the event was Antonio de León y Gama, the
celebrated scholar of Aztec astronomy. Very rare.

Ángel Laborde y Navarro (Cádiz, 2 de agosto de 1772 - La Habana, 4 de
abril de 1834) was a military and naval officer, jefe de escuadra of the Real Armada Española. Laborde was in command of the Spanish fleet
that was sent from Cuba to break the blockade of Puerto Cabello in
Venezuela but on the 24th July 1823 he was defeated in the Gulf de
Maracaibo by the navy of the insurgents. This defeat is regarded as having
accelerated the outcome of the war with the Spanish leaving Venezuela
for good just a few weeks later. The accompanying documents contain

railroad, post route and telegraph
lines, including those extending
into US, available at the end of
the 19th. Century.
Extremely rare Railroad, Post Route and Telegraph Map of Mexico, published by the Bureau of the American
Republics.
The map provides perhaps the single most
comprehensive treatment of Mexican Railroad, Post
and Telegraph lines (including those extending into the
US) available at the end of the 19th Century. The
Bulletin of the American Geographical Society, Volume
38 , 1906, notes as follows:
A general map of some interest is that entitled Carta
de Comunicaciones de los Estados Unidos Mexicanos,
on the scale of 1:1,000,000, or 15.8 m. = 1 in., compiled
by Colonel Bodo von Glumer and published in 1895-6
by the Secretaria de Estado. It corresponds to our U. S.
post-route maps, and shows mail routes and telegraph
and telephone lines.
In Volume 9 of the Monthly Bulletin of the Bureau of
the American Republics, July-December 1900, the
following description of a map being prepared by the
Bureau appears, which includes reference to our map .
The Bureau of the American Republics will shortly publish a map of the United Mexican States, compiled from
official and other sources, and giving information only found scattered about in a number of special maps not
accessible to the general public. The map, which is on a scale of 50 miles to the inch, besides the physical and
political geography of Mexico, indicates all the mining districts with the nature of the mines worked, the
roadways and railways, telegraph lines, principal areas of culture, and other data of general interest..
The map is very rare. 2,200$
