- Used

- Hardcover
- first
Very good copy of the increasingly hard-to-find monograph on the extinct dodo, Raphus cucullatus, and Rodrigues solitaire, Pezophaps solitaria.
First edition of this finely illustrated classic
Complete in two parts: Part I. History and External Characters of the Dodo, Solitaire and other Extinct Brevipennate Birds by H. E. Strickland, and Part II: Osteology of the Dodo and Solitaire by A.G. Melville.
With two hand-coloured lithographs after the famous 17th-century paintings of the dodo by Roelandt Savery
Altogether 18 lithographic illustrations (Numbered I-XV with three bis plates III*, IV*, and IX*) of dodo and solitaire specimens, landscapes, bones, skulls and reconstructions drawn and lithographed by Joseph Dinkel, Tuffen West and Werner, as well as nine woodcuts in the text. With errata slip and 12-page catalogue of new books in rear.
Hugh Edwin Strickland (1811-1853) was an English geologist, ornithologist, naturalist and systematist. His works include Outline of the Geology of the Neighbourhood of Cheltenham 1844, Bibliographia zoologiae et geologiae 1848, The Dodo and its Kindred 1848, Ornithological Synonyms 1855, etc. He was killed by a train on the track near Retford where he was examining geological strata in a railway cutting.
Original publisher's light blue cloth binding with gilt stamp of a dodo on the front cover and a solitaire on the rear, spine neatly re-backed with original gilt title replaced, spine and covers blind-stamped, slight staining and darkening to boards, t.e.g., front inner gutter strengthened with archival tape over remains of a sellotape repair. Interior very good with fine impressions of the lithographic plates, two with delicate hand colour, one tinted fold-out. A few scattered spots and faint finger smudges but generally very good.
"Very scarce. In original cloth. Handcoloured and other plates" written in pencil on front endpaper. Ticket of bookbinders "Westleys and Clark, London" at rear endpaper.
The list of 124 subscribers includes Prince Albert, zoologist Sir William Jardine and his engraver William Home Lizars, ornithologists John Gould, F.O. Morris and William Yarrell, natural history artist Prideaux John Selby, along with libraries, zoological societies and aristocratic amateurs.

1589 ENORMOUS LAW Corpus Juris Civilis Justinian Codex Digest Godefroy 6v SET"Freedom is the natural ability of everyone to do what he likes, unless it is prohibited by law or by force."
― Justinian I
Justinian's 'Corpus Juris Civilis' is unquestionably the fundamental work on law and jurisprudence! Parts of this work were originally intended to be used by law students, but they were not solely used as a textbook – they carried legal weight …as law! It includes four distinct parts – Codex, Digest, Institutes, and Novellae – each written with a different purpose.
'Digest' or 'Pandectae' is a collection of juristic treatises taken from various legal writings of Ulpian and Paulus. 'Codex'
was the Justinian's attempt at organizing the laws in a systematic manner – each of these works is included in this enormous 16th-century six-volume edition.
The Godefroy editions of this iconic work were influential in the law field well into the 20th-century. While Godefroy was known as a jurist, his… Read More

Description:
1585 DUTCH History Chronicle Divisiekroniek Netherlands Holland Zealand Woodcuts"The keystone [work] of Middle Dutch historiography!"
The "Divisiekroniek" was the first and most important 16th-century Dutch national chronicle. It was notable for containing some of the most famous descriptions of Dutch history, providing insight into the Renaissance in Northern Netherlands – Holland, Zealand, and Friesland – first printed in 1517. According to Blok, the 'Divisiekroniek'
"was the usual reading-book in the 16th- and 17th-centuries for the ancient history of the countship of Holland, and may be reckoned as the keystone of Middle Dutch historiography."
While the contents of this work are indisputably important, the in-text woodcuts of kings and Dutch royals with their coats-of-arms are highly desirable and make this already famous work highly coveted.
