Breman, Paul BOOKS ON MILITARY ARCHITECTURE PRINTED IN VENICE. AN ANNOTATED CATALOGUE.
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2002 thick 8vo. cloth 418 pages.
In the great days of Italian fortification literature - the century from Valles first Venetian edition in 1524 to the appearance of Tensini in 1624 - Venice accounted for roughly as many titles as the rest of Europe together. Books on fortification were a natural for the enterprising printer-publishers of this city-state, free from the constraints of small-minded princes and their paranoid insistence on state secrets. This annotated catalogue describes 350 books, published until the time when Venice ceased to be an independent state. It provides massive documentation taking into account the many ghosts created by misprints or over-zealous bibliographers and gives full collations, extensive annotations and locations of copies of all entries. An index of printers and a bibliographie raisonnée of the sources used, appear at the end. The thirty-five illustrations are chosen for their relevance to the subject and range from early bastion traces to emblematic portraits.

Breugelmans, R. FAC ET SPERA. JOANNES MAIRE, PUBLISHER, PRINTER AND BOOKSELLER IN LEIDEN, 1603-1657. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIS PUBLICATIONS.
One volume with a CD-rom containing the images of the title-pages `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2003 6.5 x 9.5 inches cloth 792 pages
During the seventeenth century, Holland`s Golden Age, printing and publishing became a flourishing industry. In Leiden, where the presence of a university contributed to that success, Joannes Maire built up, in the course of more than fifty years, a list of at least 527 titles, especially in the fields of medicine, theology and classical philology. Although he is nowadays chiefly remembered as the original publisher of René Descartes's Discours de la methode (1637), his contemporaries knew him better from his numerous editions of works of Desiderius Erasmus. Maire's cooperation in his earlier years as a publisher with the Raphelengii and Thomas Erpenius, professor of Oriental languages in Leiden, and the availability of his books at the fairs of Frankfurt and Leipzig spread his name rapidly in academic circles. Dr Breugelmans's book has several interesting elements. It is the first one to pay attention to a single Leiden printer/publisher on such a large scale. Extensive bibliographical descriptions of Maire's books form the greater part of this publication and the inclusion of their title-pages on a CD-rom is a novelty too. An introduction, giving substantial information on Maire and his authors and on other aspects of his list, such as the phenomenon of 'parallel editions,' supplies valuable further information on the working methods of a printer of that period. The inventory of Maire's estate proved to be an important source for his contacts with his colleagues, among them the Officina Plantiniana in Antwerp. Illustrated.

Derksen, John D. FROM RADICALS TO SURVIVORS. STRASBOURG'S RELIGIOUS NONCONFORMISTS OVER TWO GENERATIONS, 1525-1570.
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2002 16 x 9.75 inches cloth 295 pages.
This is the first extensive study of Strasbourg's diverse religious nonconformists beyond 1543, and the first to explore their continuities and discontinuities over two generations. Based on vast archival records in Strasbourg and secondary sources, it moves beyond the political and theological emphases of earlier works to include social history, portraits of village life, and the second generation to 1570. Derksen finds that second generation nonconformists were substantially different from the first. Their social profile changed; from an urban mix of leaders, intellectuals and artisans, they became largely rural folk composed of lower class artisans. Further, in outlook their view narrowed from "radicals" who sought to change church and society at its root to dissenters concerned mainly to survive. At the same time there were continuities. When the revolts of the 1525 Peasants' War were crushed, dissident ideals found new expression in spiritualist, sectarian, and apocalyptic streams. In these streams, into the 1560s and beyond, nonconformists continued their call for social and economic justice and meaningful participation in religion. The book will be of interest to historians of the Early Modern period, the Reformation`s radicals, popular religion, sixteenth-century society and Strasbourg, and to those interested in the free church tradition. "... Strasbourg's relative toleration for religious unorthodoxy was notable. John Derksen `rom Radicals to Survivors' takes an in-depth look at who these radicals were, their beliefs and their connection to the wider world... Derksen traces each known or suspected nonconformist to show the community's depth, diversity and interconnectedness. His book, although heavy in detail and lighter on overall analysis, should be a gold mine of material for anyone interested in this subject" (Amy E. Leonard, in: The Mennonite Quarterly Review, 2004). (Bibliotheca Humanistica & Reformatorica, Vol. LXI)

Deventer, Hendrik van MANUELE OPERATIEN, ZYNDE EEN NIEUW LIGT VOOR VROED-MEESTERS EN VROED-VROUWEN. FACSIMILE EN COMMENTAAR, ONDER REDACTIE VAN R.W. BAKKER, M.A.C. LUBSEN-BRANDSMA EN A.TH.M. VERHOEVEN.
2 volumes in luxury box `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2001 16.5x21.5 cm Imitation vellum boards 120 pages (introduction), 568 pages (facsimile)
Towards the end of the 17th century, Hendrik van Deventer was breaking new ground with his work for the obstetrician and the midwife. This became the first work on obstetrics to be written in the Dutch language and was to have a considerable influence on the practice of obstetrics in the 18th century. Van Deventer (1651-1724), a famous physician, had already published a scientific paper in which - thoroughly in the spirit of the Enlightenment He had firmly coupled the theoretical and the practical. His theories are based upon years of practical experience. Until recently, there has been no facsimile edition of his work. To mark the ten years since the inauguration of the Study Group for the History of the Netherlands Association of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, attention is once again focussed on Hendrik van Deventer and his Manuele Operatien, zynde een Nieuw Ligt. The facsimile is based upon the 1746 publication. Van Deventers work is at its most complete in this edition. Included are, additionally, what the author has left behind: Nader vertoog van de swaare baringen and his Nieuwe Aanmerkingen, and in translation from the French Aanmerkingen by Jacques Jean Bruier d'Ablaincourt.The facsimile is published together with a separate commentary, in Dutch, prefaced with three articles covering Van Deventers life and work. In the following eight pieces, the Topics of Manuele Operatien, zynde een Nieuw Ligt are reviewed under the periods in which they were set down and commentaries added. A glossary, together with an extended historical bibliography is included, thus ensuring this work as an essential source of the history of gynaecology and obstetrics in the Netherlands. With 40 plates and 30 illustrations.

`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2000 8vo cloth xxv, 291 pages.
The collection of English books printed before 1801 in the University Library of the Vrije Universiteit at Amsterdam is one of the largest collections of such books outside the English-speaking world, and by far the largest in the Netherlands. The collection numbers 5,600 titles and covers all subjects, but is especially concentrated on (reformed) Protestantism in Great Britain, the Netherlands and America, and the exchange of ideas between these countries. The collection of which the existence is practically unknown, contains many rare items from the 16th to the 18th century. It covers the periods of the well-known and widely used bibliographies of English printed books (STC, Wing, and ESTC); in a large number of cases the catalogue entries correct or supplement these bibliographies. The catalogue is aimed both at a general public of bibliographers, literary and book historians working with books from the STC, Wing and ESTC periods, and at researchers in the Netherlands, Great Britain and elsewhere specialized in church history and the manifold historical and cultural relations between the British Isles and the Low Countries.

15th ILAB Breslauer Prize for Bibliography Winner!

Hellinga, Lotte CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED IN THE XVTH CENTURY NOW IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY
BMC, Part XI England `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2007 11.25 x 15.25 inches hardcover 518 pages
Since the appearance in 1908 of the first volume of BMC, the work has been relied on as one of the main authorities on the earliest printing in Europe. Its coverage of early printing from the European countries in which the new technique was successively introduced provides not only extensive bibliographical descriptions, but introduces the material with an analysis of the development of printing in the relevant areas.

The eleventh volume to appear in the series covers England, where printing was not introduced until 1476, a good twenty years after the appearance of the earliest printed books in Mainz. The England volume of BMC responds to the special circumstances of early printing in England by giving particular attention to textual transmission, systematically following each text from source or copy to print whenever possible. Printing-house methods of book-production get full consideration. Notes on further dissemination are extended by an analysis of early ownership (and by implication of readership) taking account of material outside The British Library collection. This is followed by a history of the formation of the collection from 1753 in The British Museum, which began with the great collectors of the eighteenth century, and in which the antiquarian book-trade of this and later periods had an important role. In view of the new focal points of interest, the bibliographical descriptions are more elaborate than in the previous volumes, and include extensive notes on provenance and early readers which are the work of Margaret Nickson. A new forensic element is the systematic investigation of paper used by the printing houses until Caxton's death in 1492, when the nature of production changed. This was undertaken by Paul Needham, who contributes a separate introduction on the trade in paper and paper as evidence for dating and production processes. His investigation, together with the evidence of the use of printing types, underlies the new chronological arrangement which has to be the basis for any interpretation. The resulting chronological list of all printing in England before 1501 is presented in separate tables. The work includes descriptions of 323 copies of books, representing 221 editions of items printed in England, out of a total of 395 known to date, extensive introductions and 52 full-size plates accompanying the descriptions of printing types. With four full-color and numerous black-and-white illustrations of type and watermarks.

Jones, Howard PRINTING THE CLASSICAL TEXT
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2004 6.25 x 9.75 inches hardcover 238 pages
Printing the Classical Text presents a comprehensive survey of the period in which the first Classical text was printed in 1465 through the end of 1500. The opening chapter of the book locates Classical printing within the wider context by reviewing some of the cultural, intellectual, and commercial factors which affected the printing industry as a whole during the first fifty years of its development. The two central chapters are devoted to the Latin and Greek editions.
Latin editions, representing more than ninety percent of the whole, include comprehensive chronological listings that detail the printing history of each of the more than seventy authors represented, a synoptic chart, and running commentary in which the author identifies observable patterns and highlights the text's most distinctive features. An account of the introduction of Greek studies into Italy, where all fifteenth-century editions of Greek authors were printed, and a review of the typographical challenges that the earliest printers of Greek texts faced is followed by an examination of each of the Greek editions in the context of its printer's instinctive publishing program. In the concluding chapter, the author examines what the process of editing involved and attempts to assign to the earliest printed Classical editions their appropriate place in the evolution of the authoritative text in light of both the claims which the earliest editors themselves made and the less enthusiastic judgment rendered by modern critics. Illustrated in black-and-white.
Howard Jones is Professor of Classics at McMaster University in Canada, and is the author of books on Cicero, Gassendi, and the Epicurean tradition.

Kleinschmidt, Harald RULING THE WAVES. EMPEROR MAXIMILIAN I, THE SEARCH FOR ISLANDS AND THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE EUROPEAN WOLRD PICTURE, C. 1500
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2008 6.25 x 9.5 inches cloth, full color dust jacket 480 pages.
In this work Kleinschmidt is tracing the political implications of the transformation of the European world picture in the age of Emperor Maximilian I (1459-1519). It is relevant for Renaissance political and cultural history. At closer inspection Maximilian turns out to have been a crucial though much underestimated figure in the context of the changes of the world picture during his time. Not only was he continuously and persistently involved in activities through which these changes were provoked. He also issued and authorized the most comprehensive sources relevant to the impact that the changes of the world picture had on politics and international relations. This work describes the exploration travels around the world, ordered by Maximilian, among which were the Portuguese expeditions to Ethiopia and India.
The study proceeds chronologically in three parts, describing first (A) in brief the aspects of the emerging structure of territorial rule, concepts of universalism attached to the Roman Empire and the world picture during the Middle Ages, followed by part B which examines the changes of the world picture and Maximilian`s role (the Portuguese and Spanish Expeditions) in it. The last section (C) surveys the emerging of the new world order, the transformation of the Roman Empire as an institution of universal rule and the consolidation of territorial politics during the first half of the sixteenth century. (Bibliotheca Humanistica & Reformatorica, Vol. LXIII). 29 black and white illustrations.

7 volumes `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 1996-2006 7.5 x 11 inches cloth approx 4159 pages
A complete descriptive and illustrated catalogue of one of the largest and finest atlases ever assembled. Now housed in the Ãsterreichische Nationalbibliothek in Vienna, the 46-volume atlas is an expanded version of Joan Blaeu's Atlas Maior or "Great Atlas", published in Amsterdam between 1660 and 1663. Though the core of the atlas consists of the several hundred maps issued by Blaeu, the original owner of the atlas, Laurens van der Hem (1621-1678), added other maps, views, and drawings of his own choice, including four volumes of manuscript maps of Africa and Asia made for the Dutch East India Company (VOC). The practice of augmenting atlases was common in the seventeenth century, but few of these personalized atlases have survived the centuries. The catalogue in 7 volumes will include all the sheets in the atlas reproduced in black-and-white, with cartographical historical and arthistorical descriptions by P. van der Krogt and E. de Groot. Each volume will contain approximately 16 full-colour illustrations.
Only orders for the complete series are accepted.

This latest part of the Koeman`s Atlantes Neerlandici series contains the description of one single "atlas": the Galérie agréable du monde, published by Pieter van der Aa in Leiden in 1728. The work, containing about 2600 illustrations, is described in the form of a catalogue with a small photo accompanying each description. Large-format digital photographs of all the sheets--both textual and graphic--have been placed on the accompanying DVD, so that this volume is in effect a digital faccsimile of the Galérie agréable.
