"Rond het midden van de achttiende eeuw doet een nieuw genre van kookboeken zijn intrede. Na de handboeken van de beroepskok verschijnt nu het aantekenboek van Mevrouw. Een overleden Mevrouw, gelieerd aan de hoogste kringen, laat haar collectie recepten na aan haar dienstmaagd; deze collectie, gecompleteerd met recepten van andere Mevrouwen en Juffrouwen van stand, worden volgens een bepaald systeem geordend en dan uitgegeven met de fraaie titel De Volmaakte Keuken-Meid. Die keukenmeid kan een Volmaakte Hollandsche, een Volmaakte Geldersche, een Schrandere Stichtse, een Welervarene Utrechtse of eenvoudig een Vriessche zijn. (...) De recepten kunnen overal vandaan komen; ze zijn vaak modern, maar soms ook eeuwenoud, van Franse zowel als Engelse komaf, origineel of gewoonweg uit een kookboek overgeschreven. De eerste in de rij is de Volmaakte Hollandsche keuken-meid. Het verscheen in Amsterdam in november 1745 bij Steven van Esveldt. (...).

= Tiele, Mémoire p.148-153; Tiele 716 "Herdruk der eerste uitgave [Amst., 1602], zonder het voorwerk, de woordenlijst en 't register. De platen komen hier in den tekst voor en zijn merendeels navolgingen, soms zeer verschillend, van de oorspronkelijke; alleen no. 15, 19 zijn latere afdrukken van dezelfde platen." First published in 1602, the work describes the voyage made by Pieter de Marees to Guinea in West Africa between 1600-1602 and was the first and most important Dutch description of the Gold Coast. The beautiful full-p. engravings as well as the interesting and accessible text of the work will certainly have given a strong impulse to the commercial interest in the area of the Dutch.

- A fine copy with the following minor defects: new endpapers w. bookplate and owner's entries in pen and ink; first half w. one tiny wormhole in middle of text; some slight smudging and staining in outer blank margins.
= The Poeticon Astronomicon is an extremely fascinating combination of a manual of astronomy and a book on Roman and Greek mythology. The first part describes the celestial spheres and its circles, the second tells the myths connected to 42 constellations, 5 planets and the Milky Way, the third presents the shapes of each constellation and the fourth is concerned with their position and connections to the Zodiac signs. Although astronomically inaccurate the woodcuts were hugely influential. Once these images appeared in print, they became the undisputed model upon which astronomical book illustration relied for the next forty years. With a contemp. grammatical correction in text above frontisp. (as in other copies traced; possibly made in the printer's workshop). IDL 2431; HC 9063; Goff H561; Houzeau-Lancaster 1029.

= Provenance: two early 17th cent. owner's entries in lower blank margin of woodcut title i.a. of Jacob Rossius (the other owner's entry is crossed out). The work by the sixth century historian Jordanis (Jornandes), here in the first printed edition by Conrad Peutinger, is an important and very early source on the history of the Goths. Jornandes based his work on the Gothic history by his friend Cassiodorus Senator (a work that has not survived). Enea Silvio Piccolomini rediscovered a manuscript of Jornandes' text in 1442 and Peutinger was the first to publish it. The second work on the history of the Longobards was first published at Paris in 1514, also from a newly discovered manuscript. The wonderful woodcut title of the first work shows Athanaric, King of Goths and Alboin, King of the Longobards, both in full armour and seated in a hall, engaged in (almost relaxed) conversation. Fairfax Murray (German) I, 229; Adams J320; BM STC German p.463; Hollstein (Burgmair) 305.
