1634 Walter Raleigh History of the World Rome Egypt Trojan Punic War MAPS

"The designs and style of Raleigh's 'History of the World' places the book among the noblest of literary enterprises" – DNB

Sir Walter Raleigh, a 16th-century English explorer and writer, is most known for his South American voyage in hopes of discovering the 'City of Gold'. While imprisoned for treason, he composed his famous book 'History of the World' – a historical view of the world with a heavy emphasis on geography. Even though the work was written as a history book, Raleigh intended to provide advice to King James I of England on how to handle his reign and his feelings toward princes.

This work covers five distinct sections, each of which is charmingly illustrated with city views, maps, and plans.

· Creation of the world through life of Abraham

· Abraham through the destruction of Solomon's Temple

· Fall of Jerusalem to Philip of Macedonia

· Reign of Philip to rise of Antigonus

· Rule of Alexander the Great through Roman conquests

This 1634 edition includes an undated title page with Raleigh's portrait along with impressive double-page maps and genealogical tables.

Description:
1672 Court Songs & Poems 1ed Poetaster Robert Veel English Charles VIII France

Robert Veel was a 17th-century English poet, who, according to most poet scholars, was a poetaster or…inferior poet. While living a rather less-than upright lifestyle, Veel was eager to fund his habits and life of folly, Veel wrote poetic verses in hopes to amuse others. He died at only 28 years old, but before he passed, Veel published, in 1672, a collection of long songs, poetic verses, and drinking shanties called "New Court Songs and Poems". One is particularly curious – a love song from Charles VIII of France!

1689 NOSTRADAMUS Prophecies Astrology Astronomy Occult Visions Prophecy RARE

"From the enslaved populace, songs,
Chants and demands
While princes and lords are held captive in prisons.
These will in the future by headless idiots
Be received as divine prayers."
– Nostradamus, prediction of the French Revolution

Nostradamus, considered, perhaps, the most famous prophetical seer, has been credited with prophesying important and impactful world events such as the French Revolution, Great London Fire, and reigns of Napoleon and Hitler. Nostradamus claimed that the basis for his "Prophecies" was founded in his judgment of astrology. He was heavily criticized by astrologers for being 'incompetent,' as no one could truly predict the future.
This rare 1689 Bordeaux edition features a fine, woodcut engraving on the title page and includes over 300 Nostradamus prophecies and visions.

A rare, 19th-century printing of Joseph-François Michaud's "History of the Crusades". Michaud's principal work discusses the beginning of the crusades through the Council of Clermont. It covers the departure of crusaders after the Council of Nicee, the Siege of Antioch, Election of Godefroy, Battle of Ascalon, reign of Baudouin II, conquests of Saladin, and the events designed to protect Jerusalem from a fall.

This very rare 1880 first English printing of Michaud's masterpiece is noticeably more desirable that other editions. Not only does this work feature the artwork of Gustave Doré, it is also an impressive set of two enormous tomes!

1723 History of Netherlands 1ed Holland Voyages MAP Dutch MEDALS COINS Utrecht
Jean Le Clerc's "History of the Netherlands" is considered one of the best 18th-century sources on the political and militaristic history of the numerous states of Holland. Le Clerc describes a year-by-year chronology of major events in the Netherlands, complete with impressive folding maps and engravings. Much to be desired, Clerc utilizes a world map that depicts California as a large island off the west coast of the North America.
This set also features a first edition printing of Le Clerc's 'Historical Explanation of the Medals of the Netherlands'. First published in 1723, this work is a detailed account of the origins of the Dutch republic with descriptions of major events and figures from throughout the 16th-century until the Treaty of Utrecht and the end of the Spanish Succession...

"The truth can be perceived only through thinking"
― Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

Thomas Aquinas was a 13th-century Dominican monk known as one of the most important and influential church fathers and Catholic philosophers. He is remembered for his best-known works such as 'Summa Theologica' as well as his Bible commentaries on Old Testament prophets and the Epistles of Paul. Throughout his commentaries, Aquinas supports with his principle that everything Jesus did on earth was to teach us and leave an example.

This extremely rare volume from the 1520 printing of 'Catena Aurea', or Aquinas's commentary on the four Gospels. This particular volume features his commentary on the Books of Matthew and Mark.
