Balthasar Venator (1594-1664) was a German late humanist, neo-Latin poet and satirist. Along with other poets such as Martin Opitz, who died early, he belongs to the circle of poets in Heidelberg and is considered one of the pioneers of the German language in poetry. His poem Donarium in nova Tigurinorum bibliotheca suspendendum was written in June 1643 after a visit to Zurich. In 33 distichs he praises the Zurich Citizens' Library (precursor to the Zurich City Library), founded in 1629.
A fascinating and rare early example of bibliothecography.
Minor age toning but overall very clean and unusually unfolded.

During 1847, the kingdom's constitutional problems were characterised by an ever increasing intensification of rivalries between the two major political parties, the Catholics and the Liberals, a factor which brought an end to the Unionism which had been established in 1828. In the midst of growing unrest, in 1847, a number of pacifists, humanitarians, socialist, and Christian democrats had founded the Association Démocratique and sought the solution to the country's problems in the democratization of society and all people. To Brussels, its new residents, Karl Marx...
