Description:
1797 RARE & Important Judaica Livorno Italy Jewish Sefer Mikdash Hebrew PrayerA rare, 18th-century Jewish prayer book entitled 'Sefer Avodat Mikdash'. This book, published in Livorno, Italy in 1797, was a study into the behaviors expected in a Jewish synagogue and temple – or simply a Jewish guide to sanctuary. Notably, Livorno became a hub for Jewish immigrants in the 17th-century and their presence only grew throughout the Medici rulership. Curiously though, it wasn't until 1780, when Livorno government reorganized, that Jews were declared eligible for various positions in the general court. Because of this rise in status, Jewish books became more prominent – including this 1797 published work.Item number: #10774Price: $750Traditional Mikdashספר עבודת מקדש - קול תפלה קול תחנה… [Sefer Avodat Mikdash][Livorno, Italy: 5557 (or 1797)].Details: • Collation: Complete• Language: Hebrew• Binding: Leather; secure• Size: ~6in X 4in (16cm x 10cm)• Very rareOur…

Description:
1747 1ed English Condamine Science Voyage Equador South America Amazon GeographyCharles Marie de La Condamine was an 18th-century French explorer who studied the geography. A French-Spanish expedition was sent to South America and the Arctic region in 1735, to determine the size and shape of the earth. The two expeditions proved that the earth is flattened at the Poles. La Condamine, a scientist on the expedition, returned home by crossing Brazil via the Amazon making it
'the first scientific exploration of the Amazon… The greatest geographical event of the eighteenth century as regards South America" (Hill).
"A very useful abridgment of this indispensable work, entirely satisfactory for nearly all purposes" (Goodman).
This first English edition of Condamine's 'Journal,' was officially published as a complete account in 1751 with a supplement in 1752, but the initial French printings of this abridgement were published in 1745 and 1746 with translations soon following.

1730 1ed Slavery Voyages of Marchais AFRICA Whydah Maps Labat Sea Monsters 2vJean-Baptiste Labat was a 17th-century Frenchman known for his eclectic interests including exploration. His most famous works concern voyages in America, the West Indies, and the Caribbean. In 1730, Labat published an account of the voyages of Reynaud Desmarchais, a captain of slave ship that sailed exclusively between the African Gold Coast and the West Indies.
'Voyage du Chevalier des Marchais en Guinée' describes many of the procedures and regulations that were involved in slave trade as well as the economic and commercial influence of slavery. In addition to discussions on slaves, Labat includes information on fish, animals, geography, and …sea monsters! (i.e. sharks).
These volumes from the 1730 first edition include 27 exquisite illustrations including a view of the coronation procession of the King of Whydah.
