1582 1ed Wecker Occult SECRETS Alchemy MAGIC Exorcism Necromancy Witchcraft

Johannes Jacob Wecker was a famous Swiss physician and philosopher known for his book of secrets on medicine, sorcery, and logic. 'Secrets', as it is simply called, is a fascinating, eclectic work of science, mathematics and spirituality written as a deviation from the 'norm' of accepted books on secrets. Wecker ranked these secrets on a descending scale of importance – covering a myriad of secrets across a wide range of subjects. Some of the material covered included are God, Satan, angels and demons, theology, various forms of magic, alchemy, chemistry, astronomy and astrology, mechanical engineering, games and pastimes, arts and sciences, recipes for love charms, equestrianism, medical remedies, poisons, botanical and gardening tips.

The 15th book in this work, 'Des Secrets des Sciences' is particularly fascinating and covers topics such as:

· The reconciliation of 'good' angels

· How evil spirits bind

· General magic, natural magic, mathematical magic

· Sorcery

· Necromancy

· The Cabal

· Enchantments

· How to locate the devil

· Curing demoniacs (exorcising demons)

Note on this edition: While no publisher's name is listed, the printer's device on the title page is that of Peter Perna (USTC confirms). Per the USTC, there are also no other issues published prior to this edition – assumed first edition of Wecker's famed 'Secrets'!

Description:
1545 Saint Venerable BEDE Bible & Commentary English Monk Church Cosmology

Saint Venerable Bede was an English monk during the 7th- and 8th-centuries. He is most remembered for his ecclesiastical work on the history of English people, in which he discusses the establishment and growth of the church throughout the known world. He also wrote important commentaries on the books of the Bible. This work explains relevant Biblical passages, as well as describes the allegorical notes of Church Fathers. However, he did not write exclusively of church theology. He also wrote on the development of time and ideas of cosmology.
This 16th-century Latin edition was published in Paris by Roigny. An impressive, three-volume folio set!

1856 1ed Narrative of Expedition American Squadron Perry Hawkes JAPAN China MAPS

First and only complete edition of Commodore Perry's Japan Expedition!

Matthew Perry was one of the most important American Naval officers during the 19th-century. While he was notable for his involvement in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War, his most famous accomplishment came as the leader of a voyage to Japan beginning in 1852 aboard the East India Squadron. This series of short visits sought to pursue Japanese trade treaties, but Perry and his crew discovered much more – Japanese and Chinese cultures, politics, coal mining and agriculture, as well as attempts at occupation of Formosa. While many events came from this expedition, according to Hill,
"the most important result was that the visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the modernization of Japan"

The events of this expedition were recorded by Perry and Francis Hawks in the 1856 account "Narrative of the Expedition of an… Read More

Petrarch was a 14th-century Italian humanist known for his discovery of the letters of Cicero and establishment of the study of humanism. He wrote sonnets and poems, many of which were the model of poetry during the Dark Ages. This exceedingly rare 1547 edition of the works of Petrarch includes his 'Triumphs' with commentary and notes by Alessandro Vellutello, a 16th-century Venetian author who was perhaps best-known for his commentary on Petrarch which first appeared in 1525.
