Important work (1
st
ed. : 1587) on the history of the war between the Turkish and Persians,
from 1578 to 1587. The war broke out in 1576 after the death of Shah Tahmasp (1514-
1576) when Sultan Murad III (1546-1595) took advantage of it and of the disorders arising
to invade Persia. The conflitct lasted for 12 years until Shah Abbas (1571-1629) established
himself on the throne of Persia in 1590 and made peace with Turkey. This 1594 edition is
based on the second enlarged edition of 1588 and is illustrated with a nice folding map and
contains two interesting indexes : one of the Turkish and Persian names with their Italian
translations and explanations and one of the names with their "modern" Italian appellations.
Ending on a letter to Mario Corrado on Tauris (i.e. Tabriz, capital city of Azerbaijan). Minadoi
(1545-1618) studied medicine at the Univerisity of Padua and he was for seven years at
the service of the Venetian Embassy in Constantinople and in Syria. During his stay he
collected, as an eye-witness, material for this account. At his return in Italy, he became
physician to the Duke of Mantua and was appointed professor of medicine at Padua. Neat
typography with printer's mark on title-page. Work often edited and translated.

The Nuremberg Polygot Bible edited by Elias Hutter (1553-1602 ?), Hebrew professor at
Leipzig who produced the Hebrew Old Testament published at Hamburg in 1587 as well
as polyglot editions of separate books of the Bible. The texts are arranged in 6 columns
across 2 pages : French, Hebrew, Chaldee, Greek, Latin and German. The title is printed
within a beautiful woodcut border depicting biblical figures and a coat of arms. Our copy
contains the Old Testament from Genesis to Deuteronomium. In the 16
th
century it's rather
exceptional that, as in this case, the signatures contain the letter "W".
