The binding is very slightly shaken, but holding well. Fractional darkening only. A couple of tiny tears to the edges of the end papers, without loss. Overall a very nice copy. Brerewood, Edward (c.1565–1613), antiquary and mathematician. Brerewood was one of six graduates from Oxford and Cambridge who were recruited in 1596 as professors of the new Gresham College; his inaugural lecture as professor of astronomy was delivered at the end of 1597. Brerewood published nothing during his lifetime, bequeathing his large and valuable library and his manuscripts to his nephew Robert, who saw many of them into print. Xaupi, Joseph (1688-1778) from Peripignan. Was a French writer and Theologian. He was the Dean of the Theology department & Abbot of Jau. He wrote "Recherches historiques sur la noblesse des citoyens honors of de Perpignan et de Barcelone, connus sous le nom de citoyens nobles: pour servir de suite au Traité de la noblesse de La Roque" (Paris, 1763).

Publié à l'origine en anglais sous le titre « Enquêtes touchant la diversité des langues et des religions à travers les principales parties du monde ». en 1614, cet exemplaire est la première édition française. Le vélin est un peu noirci et marqué, mais sans éclats ni déchirures. L'étiquette du propriétaire est propre et lumineuse. La page de titre a été renforcée jusqu'au bord ouvert. La reliure est très légèrement secouée, mais tient bien. Assombrissement partiel seulement. Quelques infimes déchirures sur les bords des pages de garde, sans manque. Dans l'ensemble un très bel exemplaire. Brerewood, Edward (c.1565-1613), antiquaire et mathématicien. Brerewood était l'un des six diplômés d'Oxford et de Cambridge recrutés en 1596 comme professeurs du nouveau Gresham College ; sa leçon inaugurale en tant que professeur d'astronomie fut prononcée à la fin de 1597.
