Description:
1631 Principatibus Italiae Italian Politics Elzevier Italy Laet Segetho Galileo

'De Principatibus Italiae' is a rare, early 17th-century work featuring a collection of important essays and treatises by notable authors Joannes de Laet and Thomas Segetho. Published by the famed Elzevier, this book features two main works:
·
'Incerti Auctoris de Principibus Italiae Commentarius'
·
'Tractatus de Territoriis, Potentia, Familiis, Foederibus, Principum, Rerumpublicarum…'
Both of these works are studies and observations on the Italian government and politics. (Shahan). It should be noted, that while Segetho was not the most famous of English scholars, he was a skilled poet and pupil of Galileo. He is probably best remembered for comparing Christopher Columbus and Galileo saying how much greater Galileo was because he 'gave us new worlds without any damage to anybody!'.

1670 1ed Sheringham De Anglorum Britain Phoenicia Germanic England Origins

Robert Sheringham was a 17th-century English historian who is best remembered for his works on the history of Great Britain. He studied the origins of English linguistics and how they correlated to Greek and Welsh languages. In his work 'De Anglorum Gentis Origine Disceptiatio', Sheringham discusses the origins of British people groups focusing on Phoenicians and Germanic tribes.

According to Cox, Sheringham's 'De Anglorum'
"was highly praised in its day as a scholarly investigation of the origin of the races which peopled in the British Isles."

Other notable royals including Hugh Capet, Charles III, Clovis, and Pepin the Short.

Description:
1665 NAPLES Revolt of 1647 Spain Thirty Years War Raimond Mormoiron Napoli RARE
Esprit de Raimond de Mormoiron was a 17th-century French military writer known for his role in the Battle of La Marfee during the Thirty Years' War as well as the more famous Naples Revolt of 1647. In the summer of 1647, Spanish rule placed numerous excessive taxes on the locals of Naples which spurred a violent, months-long revolt. Mormoiron's first-hand account of the Naples Revolt has long-been one of the best accounts of the uprising and is an important source on the feudal and political climate of Spanish and Neapolitan nobility during the Thirty Years' War.

1869 1ed Saint Macaire Celebration in Ghent Belgium ENORMOUS Oblong Illustrated

In May of 1867, the city of Ghent, Belgium held an enormous celebration commemorating the eight-century anniversary of the life of its patron saint, Saint Macaire.

The event was highly successful, so much so, that clergy and laymen of Ghent were calling for a souvenir book. Publisher Schelden published this truly enormous oblong book commemorating the event – a book filled with 25 colored engravings depicting various portions of the parades and processions, notes on sermons, homages to Saint Macaire, and much more.

An absolutely huge double-folio oblong souvenir book!
