Zurich, Orell, Gessner & Compagnie, 1765-68. With woodcut illustrations, head- and tail-pieces, and initials. 8vo. Contemp. half calf with titles on spines (worn). Zurich, Orell, Gessner & Compagnie, 1765-68. First edition. With the idea of producing a more accurate work than Anton Büsching's "Neue Erdbeschreibung" (1760), Orell commissioned Johann Conrad Fäsi (1727-1790) to write a complete and exact statistical work about Switzerland. In only four years, he rose to the task and his work must be considered a splendid achievement, dealing with geography, history, politics, and economics. Fäsi was a pupil of Johann Jacob Bodmer and like his teacher, he pursued a pragmatic historiography, omitting all fabulous accounts so often integrated in earlier historical works. Starting out with an overview, he then proceeds to describe each of the thirteen cantons and all the bailiwicks. - Somewhat browned or foxed, traces of wear, but still a fair copy of this rare edition.… Read More

Cracow, (Jan Haller), 1507. With 3 large zodiacal and 11 schematic diagrams in woodcut in the text, large woodcut with coat of arms of Poland, Lithuania, and Cracow on title-page. (32) pp. 4to. Modern calf in old style (215 x 150 mm). Cracow, (Jan Haller), 1507. First edition. Michael Falkener (c. 1460-1534), born in Silesia was professor of mathematics, physics, logic and Aristotle's philosophy at Cracow. It is worth mentioning that his students included the founder of modern astronomy Nicolaus Copernicus (1473-1543), who entered the University of Cracow in 1491. Especially interesting is that at the same time two more important teachers of astronomy (Albertus de Brudzewo, Johann von Glogau also known as Jan Glogowczyk) together with Falkener (also known as Michael von Breslau or Vratislavia), who was in fact at this times a great light at Cracow, hold controversy and basic lectures at the university about the world system.
