Rare almanac, printed in Amsterdam with 12 folding coloured woodcut illustrations for each month (Sinterklaas in December) and 4 folding coloured woodcut illustrations for each season (text in German under the seasons). With calendar printed in red and black ink, Verduisteringen en hemelverschynselen voor den jare 1811, Reys-Wyzer wanneer de veerschepen en trekschuiten moet afvaren gedrukt voor de reizende, Aantekeningen van don Antonio Magino, Korte Kronyk beginnende van den jare 1805, 8 blank leaves, white note pages (prepared to write and delete writings or drawings) and 10 laid blank leaves for notes. Both blank note pages and the laid paper leaves are of a later date than the almanac.<\/p>\n
The illustration for December is a very nice illustration of the Dutch feast Sinterklaas with people with a rod of Sinterklaas. The only known copy of this 1811 almanac features added colored illustrations for each month and season. The illustrations are trimmed slightly shorter than the original almanac. Likely bound at a later date. On the first page of the thickened, specially prepared pages, the following is written in pencil: \u201cStamped, not perforated.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jacob de Gelder (1765\u20131848) was an influential mathematician and educational reformer who played a key role in reforming mathematics education in the Netherlands. One of his well-known mathematics books is *Eerste gronden der meetkunst*. In 1815, he became a professor of mathematics at the newly founded Military Academy in Delft, but conflicts over his theoretical approach led to his suspension in 1819. He subsequently became a professor at Leiden University until his retirement in 1840.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
