1797 HUGE FOLIO Dryden Fables 1st ed Homer Chaucer Boccaccio Diana Beauclerc ART

John Dryden was a 17th-century English poet who was known as England's very first Poet Laureate and would lead England into a literary period that would become known as the Age of Dryden. He also established standard forms of English poetry though his satires, fables, epigrams, poems, and plays.

'Fables, Ancient and Modern' is Dryden's translations of some of the most famous and iconic works of ancient literature. Dryden includes selections from Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Chaucer's 'Canterbury Tales', Homer's 'Iliad', and even stories from Giovanni Boccaccio, all translated into English verse.

This particular 1797 edition is an enormous folio! And the size alone is not the only appeal – this edition contains engravings from the artwork of Diana Beauclerc. These 9 full-page illustrations are highly coveted works of art and make this folio one of the most desirable editions of Dryden's 'Fables'.

Description:
1888 Black Phalanx Negro Soldiers African American Military Civil War Abolition
Joseph T. Wilson was an African-American soldier who served in the 54th Massachusetts during the American Civil War. While his military career was not extensive, it did provide him with an understanding of the role that black men had during the 19th-century. He began writing poems and speeches, most of which were used to push an abolitionist-like agenda – black suffrage, full citizenship, and social reforms. His best book, and to this day most-known, was 'The Black Phalanx' which was the most comprehensive study of African-American military service in the 19th-century.

1731 King Mouley Ismael MOROCCO PIRATES Slaves & Slavery Janissaries Busnot RARE

Dominique Busnot was an 18th-century French historian who, after traveling to Morocco numerous times, wrote what became his most famous and important work – "History of Mouley Ismael, King of Morocco". Mouley Ismael served as king for nearly fifty years and is remembered for expanding Moroccan territory through military strength and diplomacy with European powers. Busnot describes Mouley's reign as bloodthirsty, having taken French Christians as prisoner by Moroccan pirates. Having spent many years in Morocco negotiating with Moroccan leaders for the release of these prisoners, Busnot wrote this work to convince readers to help financially with the efforts to free the Christian prisoners from Morocco.

This 1731 edition of Busnot's most famous work was published in Rouen by Pierre Machuse and includes Busnot position on the church's tradition of pardoning slaves.

1578 LIVY History of Rome Ab Urbe Condita Caesar Punic WARS Feyerabend Godelevaeus

"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."
― Livy, The History of Rome

Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita.' Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.

This extremely rare 16th-century printing of Livy was published in Frankfurt, Germany in 1578 and features the commentary of Wilhelm Godelevaeus and Sigmund Feyerabend.

1623 John Wemyss The Christian Synagogue JUDAISM in Scotland Hebrew Temple RARE

John Wemyss was an early 17th-century Scottish clergyman who was much better known for his studies in Hebrew exegesis. He is widely considered to be the pioneering Jewish scholar in Scotland, much in part to this advocating for Jewish culture in Scotland. In 1623, Wemyss, also spelled Weemes, published his first work of Judaica, 'The Christian Synagogue'. In this book, Weemes focuses on the customs of both the ancient Hebrews and modern Jews and the many Europeans that have converted to Judaism. There is a heavy emphasis on prayer and sacrifice throughout this book. According to Culotta, Weemes compares the use of prayer and sacrifice in both the Hebrew temple and the Hebrew synagogue.

This book also contains descriptions of the Old Testament Hebrew temple as well as the Temple of Jerusalem as it was during the time of Moses.

1644 Francis Bacon Sermones Fideles Essays Elzevir Economics Science Crime LAW

"Some books should be tasted, some devoured, but only a few should be chewed and digested thoroughly."
― Francis Bacon

Francis Bacon, one of the most famous English philosophers and scientists of the Renaissance. While most of his work deals with discovery, scientific method, and the scientific revolution, he did lean strongly toward Puritanism in his personal devotion.

An extremely rare Elzevier printing of Bacon's "Sermones fideles". "Sermones fideles" is the title of the work as a whole, but it contains four other works that come from 'The Essays'. Bacon discusses politics, economics, ethics, crime, law, and science all through the lens of philosophy. This work was translated from his 'Essays' which was printed earlier in English.
