RSchild, Marmorpapierbezug und dreiseitig farbigem Schnitt (nur etw. berieben u. bestoßen). Erste Ausgabe. - Seltenes Werk des eigenen Angaben nach gläubig christlichen Autors. Seine Vision eines geozentrischen Universums schrieb D'Aguila zu Ehren des "Fondateur de cette sublime organisation", des Universums, weiter ist über den Autor bisher wenig bekannt. In seiner Darstellung hält er an Josua 10,12 fest. Er weist in einer Vielzahl von Tabellen und Ausführungen nach, dass die Sonne eine Umlaufbahn hat, sowie die Erde unabhängig von allen anderen Himmelskörpern einen eigenen Orbit, welcher zugleich das imaginäre Zentrum des Universums bildet. - Die Vorsätze erneuert, nur vereinzelt mit unscheinbar blassbraunen Fleckchen. Insgesamt äußerst wohlerhaltenes und sauberes Exemplar. Occult - With 8 folded engraved plates. Cont. cardboard binding with marbled boards, mounted label on spine and three-sided coloured edges (only slightly rubbed and bumped). - First edition. - Rare work by the author, who claims to be a devout Christian. D'Aguila wrote his vision of a geocentric universe in honor of the "Fondateur de cette sublime organisation", of the universe. In a large number of tables and explanations, he proves that the sun has an orbit and that the earth has its own orbit independently of all other celestial bodies, which at the same time forms the imaginary center of the universe. - The endpapers renewed, only a few pp. with inconspicuous pale brown spots. Altogether a very well-preserved and clean copy. Dieses Werk ist regelbesteuert.

Queen Elizabeth I Rare Triple-Signed Document (1562) Vellum manuscript DS, signed three times, “Elizabeth R,” one page, 27 x 22.5, August 24, 1562. An indenture detailing the exchange of lands between the crown and Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk, signed three times by Queen Elizabeth I, recording that the Duke will “sell geve and graunte unto our Soveraigne Ladie the Quene All those his Mannors & Lordshippes of Chesworth and Sedgewicke...in the County of Sussex...also all that mannor Lordshipp and Forest of St Leonard and all ground and Soyle of the same Forest And also all those his Parkes of Bewbushe and Shelley,” and related lands and rights, in exchange for lands in royal gift including the “Celle of Sainte Leonard in her county of Norfolk” and associated lands and buildings “neare unto the Citie of Norwich,” Norfolk lands formerly of Wymondham Abbey, lands in Essex (Wigborough, Saltcote, Tollesbury) that were formerly “assigned to the late Ladie Anne of Cleves” and also lands in “Pitchesey” (Pitsea) in the same county, the manor of Dowdike in Lincolnshire (previously of Crowland Abbey), and lands of Newenham Abbey in Devon. The indenture then lists the extensive debts of the Duke to the crown, further detailing that a portion of this debt is discharged by the value of the woodland hereby sold to the crown, and commands the exchequer to produce a new bond for the residue of the debt, being a mere £1823 15s. 5 3/4d. Signed by Queen Elizabeth I at the head of each vellum membrane, additionally signed at the foot by the Lord Treasurer William Paulet, Marquess of Winchester ("Winchester"), the under-treasurer Richard Sackville, and the Chancellor of the Exchequer Walter Mildmay. The document retains a substantial fragment of its Great Seal in white wax pendant on original vellum tag. Archivally mounted and framed to an overall size of 30 x 31; only two of Elizabeth’s signatures are visible within the display, the third on a piece of vellum in the rear. In very good to fine condition, with expected wrinkling and creasing. Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk (1538-1572), was the head of the powerful Howard family. He was a Privy Councillor, had commanded English forces in Scotland at the beginning of Elizabeth’s reign, and was one of the greatest land-owners in the land, with estates centered on Norfolk. The agreement with the crown that is formalized in this document saw enormous tracts of land near Horsham in Sussex—including the 12 square miles of St. Leonard’s Forest—conveyed to the crown. Norfolk gained considerable land in return, primarily former monastic land scattered across four counties, but—and this was probably of greater importance to him—he also saw his overall debt to the crown, which had been more that £6500, reduced by some £4680. The counterpart of this indenture remains in the Exchequer (The National Archives, E 211/39). Less than ten years after this agreement was made, Norfolk was executed for treason for conspiring with Mary, Queen of Scots. His son and heir, Philip, Earl of Arundel, was permitted to inherit most of his estates. One of the most legendary leaders in world history, Queen Elizabeth oversaw the transformation of England into a modern world power. Her autograph is among the most sought-after of all European royalty, and this is a magnificent document boasting three ideal exemplars of Elizabeth's famous, flourishing signature.
