BRACHELIUS (BRAHEL), JOHANN ADOLPH. Historia universalis rerum notabilium, ubique pene terrarum gestarum. Accessed nunc denique, ad annum 1671 per Henricum Brewer descripta pars VII. Coloniae Joannis Antonii Kinchii, (Cologne, Kinckius), (1675?) -1676.
8vo (168x100 mm., binding). With 46 plates with 51 engraved portraits (1 plate with minor restoration of paper, some minor foxing).
Contemporary full vellum binding with paper-label on spine, red edges, the gilt coat-of-arms of Sigismud Casimir Graf zu Lynar on boards, binding partly soiled. Text with some foxing.

Warmholtz 4916 (another edition).
Brahel, German historian and vicar in Cologne. Died in 1652.
Provenance: Sven Borgström was born in Malmö in 1927 and worked as a chemist in Stockholm, Malmö and Lund. His fine library, which was built up over many years, consists mainly of older books dated from the 16th century to the late 18th century. His book-collecting began, as it perhaps should, with an incunabula. Borgström's interests included printers, book bindings, book illustrations, and he was interested in history, travel and maps. As a result of previous coin collecting, the subject of numismatics was also of interest in his library. Sven Borgström died 95 years old.Show more
