KIRCHER (Athanasius): Athanasii Kircheri fuldensis Buchonii E soc. Iesu Prodromus coptus sive ægyptiacus. Rome, Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith, 1636. One volume. 16 by 24 cm. 340 pages. Contemporary full vellum with the arms of Cardinal Lorenzo Magalotti (Fasced Or and Sable on a chief Gules charged with the motto "LIBERTAS" in letters Or.), with double framing and spandrels, ornate spine. Small nibble at bottom of upper board (minor defect), missing laces. Two small traces of light marginal dampening. Very rare foxing. Several leaves browned. Otherwise a very fine copy, in a well-preserved quality binding. First edition of this work on the Coptic language by the German Jesuit Athanasius KIRCHER (1602-1680), with a vignette on the title page bearing the coat of arms of Cardinal Barberini (Bishop of Ferrara), to whom the book is dedicated. KIRCHER was a physicist, mathematician, orientalist, cabalist and philologist. The book is the first published grammar of the Coptic language. It is to Kircher, Champollion would say, that "learned Europe owes in some way the knowledge of the Coptic language." The volume includes numerous passages printed in Coptic, Hebrew, Syriac and Chinese characters. It is illustrated with woodcut figures in the text. Cardinal Lorenzo Magalotti, whose coat of arms adorns the binding, was related to Pope Urban VIII, maffeo Barberini, as his brother Carlo Barberini had married Lorenzo's very devout sister, Costanza. Magalotti was therefore a member of the Barberini family, to whom the book is dedicated. The word LIBERTAS on the chief is very rare in ecclesiastical heraldry, as mottoes are usually placed lower down, on a scroll and below the coat of arms. This exception stems from the Magalotti family's participation in Florence's resistance against Pope Gregory XI, in 1535-1536. As a result of this involvement, the Magalotti coat of arms was enriched with the motto LIBERTAS, which this glorious past later protected, despite what it says about their opposition to the papacy. The blazon on the binding is thus linked to KIRCHER's patron family, the Barberini... Thanks to scholar P. S. for his help with this heraldic research.
