5859. One of the most beautiful works of 18th century Illustrated Italian History – Bartoli, Pietro Santi / Giacomo de Rossi / [Trajan – Caesar Nerva Trajanus].

Colonna Traiana [The rare 18th-century Folio-Edition on Trajan’s Column, in which, atypically, all Oblong-Folio-Planches have a centerfold and which includes the often missing, large 1,1 meter – foldout-plan of Trajan’s Column] – Colonna Traiana Eretta Dal Senato, E Popolo Romano All’Imperatore Traiano Augusto Nel Suo Foro In Roma. Scolpita Con L’Historie Della Guerra Dacica La Prima E La Seconda Espeditione, E Vittoria Contro Il Re Decebalo. Nuovamente Disegnata, Et Intagliata Da Pietro Santi Bartoli. Con L’Espositione Latina D’Alfonso Ciaccone, Compendiata Nella Vulgare Lingua Sotto Ciascuna Immagine, Accresciuta Di Medaglie, Inscrittioni, E Trofei, Da Gio. Pietro Bellori. Con diligente cura, e spesa ridotta à perfettione, e data in luce da Gio. Giacomo de Rossi dalle sue stampe, in Roma, alla Pace con Privilegio del S. Pontefice.

Roma, [Giacomo de Rossi] alla Pace con Privilegio del S. Pontefice, [1751]. Folio: (26.5 cm wide x 37 cm high). All planches usually in Oblong-Folio are center-folded in this version, allowing it to be bound in Folio. Pagination: 9 unnumbered plates, [including titlepage, engraved dedication to Louis XIV, and also the large Trajan-Foldout, measuring 110 cm x 36 cm)], followed by 119 plates folded into 238 plates, [while our copy is lacking the 14 pages with Alphonso Ciacono’s “Historia Utriusque Belli Dacici A Trajano Cæsare” and Index and Colophon at the end of the Volume, this flaw is rather unimportant because this Volume is all about the masterful art of over 125 engravings and the powerful Homage by Pietro Santi Bartoli to Trajan, Rome’s “Optimus Princeps”]. Fully restored Folio in dark green Morocco, bound to 18th century – style by an english master-bindery. Unusually excellent condition with the tiniest of wormhole-damage to the Dedication pages. The plates all in exceptional condition. The large Column-Plate spellbinding.

5873. [Optician / Optiker / Optische Instrumente] – Tauber, Gottfried.

Small Collection of very rare original materials from the library german Mathematician and Inventor of Optical, Medical & Scientific Instruments, Dr. Gottfried Tauber. The collection includes: 1. A stunning, allegorical Painting of Gottfried Tauber by Daniel Caffe (pinxit 1808) which is beautifully framed, with a significant but repairable tear 2. Gottfried Tauber’s personal Manuscript-Notebook [which he obviously kept during his early studies at “Schola Altenburgensis”], titled: “Physic a Tauber – Penticoste’s Tempore – 1784” with Drawings and detailed scientific experiments, 3. An important, printed publication from Tauber’s Institute, titled: “Anweisung Anweisung für auswärtige Personen, wie dieselben aus dem Optisch-Oculistischen Institute zu Leipzig… mit Zuverlässigkeit solche Augengläser bekommen können”. The publication explains not only in detail Tauber’s ability to select the right eye glasses for different stages of loss of sight. The publication, printed in 1851, also advertises the optical and medical inventions of Tauber (Microscopes, Tattoo-Presses, Needles for Inoculation, Camera Lucida, Camera Obscura, Thermomoeters, Meteorological Instruments etc. etc.). Gottfried Tauber was the founder of the Optical – Oculistic Institute in Leipzig / Germany and became famous for the invention of Glasses and several scientific instruments in the fields of Optic and medicinal as well as meteorological instruments . The Manuscript Notebook in the collection includes Gottfried Tauber’s personal elaborations on significant scientific experiments, even mentioning Benjamin Franklin’s Kite-Experiment from 1752 (″Doct. Fränklin in Amerika gab 1752 die erste Nachricht im Dienst von Ableitern…”). Tauber’s many talents led to him being installed as teacher of mathematics already six years after starting his manuscript notebook in 1784. Many of the experiments Tauber noted down in his manuscript and embellished with drawings, would later lead to his own inventions of tools and instruments useful for medicince and science in the ever experimental 19th century.

Altenburg / Leipzig, Gottfried Tauber, 1784 – 1851. Octavo / Quarto. Pagination: Manuscript – 146 pages with numerous drawings (some in ink and some in watercolour) / Pagination: Pamphlet: Portrait: The Portrait is framed, a tear in the portrait is visible / Manuscript: Both Hardcover boards of the manuscript are cleanly detached and rubbed with some minor damages. Drawings and interior manuscript notations very good. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear.
