- Title:
- Elementa grammaticae huronicae [manuscript].
- Subject:
- Wyandot language -- Grammar -- Early works to 1800.; Wyandot language -- Glossaries, vocabularies, etc.; Indians of North America -- Canada -- Languages -- Early works to 1800.; Canada -- Languages -- Early works to 1800.
- Description:
- Grammar of the Wyandot (Huron) language, in Latin, with many examples in Wyandot, and equivalent meanings usually given in French. The manuscript appears to be in the hand of Pierre-Philippe Potier. The last major section of the manuscript (p. 103-172) is headed Quadam substantiva (p. 103). The manuscript appears to come to an end at the bottom of p. 171 with the Latin: finis; the following page contains only one line: Quadam substantiva qua supra non reperiuntur (p. 172). However, the volume has a table of contents (Index rerum; p. i-ii) that details more contents than the manuscript actually contains; following the entry for Quadam substantiva is the heading Miscellanea, followed by many additional headings, associated with page numbers beyond the number of pages actually contained in the manuscript. Some of these additional headings refer in French to animals, plants, furniture, and clothing; the last headings are: Nomina huronum; Nationes barbarae et bene morata; Urbes et arces; Variorum nomina; and Revieres et pointes (p. ii). The last page number listed in the table of contents is 212. In comparison to another manuscript of Potier with the same title, held in the Jesuit Archives of Canada (published in facsimile in: Fifteenth report of the Bureau of Archives of the Province of Ontario,Toronto: Clarkson W. James, 1920, p. 1-158), the present manuscript contains grammatical material that seems, on the whole, to be similar but not identical, and/or is given in a different arrangement. The present manuscript consists solely of a grammar, with no additional types of materials. A note tipped in at the back of the manuscript (p. 174) highlights a comparison of this work with Pierre Chaumonot's Grammar of the Huron language, in Transactions of the Literary and Historical Society of Québec, v. 2, 1831. Leaves throughout the manuscript have water damage around the margins that generally does not affect the legibility of the text except in the table of contents (p. i). A letter in French from Philéas Gagnon to Daniel Garrison Brinton, dated Québec, 29 December 1887, which was originally tipped onto the inside back cover, alludes to Gagnon's sale of the manuscript to Brinton. Gagnon notes that although the manuscript does not contain the name of the author, he feels certain, based on the handwriting, that it is the work of Potier, whose handwriting he knew from having examined another manuscript by Potier. The letter has been removed and is stored in a separate folder shelved with the manuscript.

- Title:
- [Secrets of wisdom].
- Subject:
- Jews -- Netherlands -- History -- Sources; Alchemy -- Early works to 1800; Chemistry -- Early works to 1800; Medicine -- Formulae, receipts, prescriptions -- Early works to 1800
- Description:
- Multilingual miscellany of culinary, medical, and household chemistry recipes; esoteric and alchemical notes; trade information and accounts; and family records, compiled over more than a century, possibly by members of one Sefardic family based in or near Amsterdam or Naarden. The oldest material at the beginning of the volume (f. 1r-23v) includes a medical treatise on the doctrine of signatures and a small group of prescriptions, both in Portuguese, and a biographical introduction to the reader in Spanish signed J.C.A., which refers to the arrival of Jewish physician Benedicto de Castro in Amsterdam in 1671 (f. 12r). An excerpt from the Amsterdamsche Courant dated 1797 relatively early in the volume (f. 40r) suggests that most of the volume was written in the 19th century before 1835. Esoteric content includes astrological references (f. 7v-9v); alchemical symbols (f. 10v-11r, 62v, 140v); a spell in Hebrew for killing an enemy (f. 34r); possible incantations (f. 50r); a magic square (f. 53v); reference to the angel Uriel (f. 98r); and page citations to items of alchemical interest in the diary of the French diplomat and physicist Balthasar de Monconys, published after his death in 1665 (f. 137r-138r), Twenty printed leaves with the running title Calendrier intéressant are pasted to leaves, covering recipes and notes (some printed leaves now loose and two missing from the sequence, f. 79v-90r). These are sequential leaves (p. 3-46) from a copy of Calendrier intéressant pour l'année ..., ou Almanach physico-économique, published by the Société Typographique of Bouillon from 1770 into the early 1780s. The pages here include references to the Calendriers of 1771 and 1772, so were likely printed in the years immediately following, but the writing on the pages beneath them is from the early decades of the 19th century (for example, a note on the death of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1821, f. 80r). A small amount of shipping, currency, and price information is scattered on a few leaves (Paris, Bordeaux, and Marseilles, f. 60r; Castilian weights, Livorno, Curaçao, New York, 131v-135r; Paris, Bordeaux, Geneva, Venice, Charlestown, New York, 148v-152v). The family records at the end of the volume (f. 171r-174r) document births and deaths, many with the family name Henriquez (or Henriques), from 1759 to 1835, not recorded in chronological order.
