1921BIBLIO-18797Trustees of the British Museum London first edition 1921. 4 vols cloth 41 x 32 cm. xliv 360 vii 402 ix 384 xl pp 125 plates. . A contemporary review by Reginald L. Poole praises: ".the four stately volumes in large quarto now before us. No catalogue of any great library has ever been attempted on such a scale and certainly none can rival it in the completeness of its scholarship or the perfection of its work in detail. .The technical finish of the book is incomparable and the printers have co-operated in making it a splendid production. It is printed with wonderful accuracy in a noble type; the paper is excellent and the volumes are uncommonly easy to use. The catalogue of the Royal manuscripts occupies the first two volumes. The third contains a description of the King's manuscripts ; this collection inconveniently named forms part of the fine library of George III which was presented to the nation by George IV. That library is famous for its printed books but the 446 manuscripts in it comprise few of remarkable interest. Most of the volume is taken up by two indexes which call for special admiration. The general index is drawn up with extraordinary completeness. .The second index is of initia or incipits in various languages. The compilers say that ' the Royal collection includes so much of the common stock of a medieval library that the Latin index will it is hoped be found useful by many who may wish to identify unnamed treatises'. This is too modest an aspiration : the index covers so much longer a range of centuries than those of Vattasso and Little that it must at once rank as an indispensable work of reference for students of manuscripts. The fourth volume consists of a series of 125 plates giving beautifully reproduced facsimiles from 144 manuscripts of which two-thirds were written or probably written in England.The volume is an important contribution to palaeography.". From the introduction to the work: "The volume of plates fortunately prepared before the war forms a special feature of the Catalogue which it is hoped will be welcome both to palaeographers and to students of art. The 125 plates include representations of 99 manuscripts written or probably written in England and since nearly 50 of these are illuminated they serve to give a good idea of English mediaeval art the great merits of which are often ignored. French art which alone can rival it is well though not fully represented by 26 plates of which 24 are illuminated : Flemish and Italian work are less adequately represented. Four plates are devoted to handwritings of the 16th and 17th centuries and two to examples of the autographs of well-known scholars. A chronological table enables the student to follow the course of palaeographical and artistic development. A set formerly owned by C H St John Hornby founder of the Ashendene Press and noted collector of manuscripts with his red and black bookplate on the front pastedown endpapers. Some pencil notes to margins. Some mild rubbing to the cloth and the plate volume is a little shaken offsetting to endpapers otherwise a Very Good set with an excellent provenance.

He worked in various capacities in the Middle East Including as a professor of Syriac studies at his seminary. Due to a theciogical quarrel Mingana left the priesthood and the area in 1910. He soon connected with Woodbrooke a Quaker study center in Birmingham. England. It was founded by George Cadbury in 1903 no husband of Elizabeth Cadbury who also appears in this list. There he taught Semitic languages. He had long had a passion for early Christian and Muslim manuscripts. Cadbury recognizing his linguistic skills and expertise with early manuscripts sent him on three buying trips to the Middle East. There Mingana collect thousands of important Middle Eastern manuscripts including one of the oldest fragments of the Quran ever discovered. He also worked on cataloging them and transiating the most important ones into English. They became the seven volumes offered here. His collection of manuscripts now called the Mingana Collection consists of over 3000 Middle Eastern manuscripis in over twenty languages including Arabic Syriac Ethiopic Georgian Hebrew Samaritan and Armenian It is currently housed at the University of Birmingham The manuscripts in the collection have proven to be a treasure trove for scholars of early Christianity.

Translated by Edward FitzGerald. With an introduction by A. C. Benson. <br/> Original vellum boards featuring a peacock within an elaborate gilt frame by Sangorski & Sutcliffe with "Rd. No. 562943" in small letters at foot indicating the firm's registered design smooth spine with gilt decoration and maroon morocco label top edge gilt others untrimmed. In a later woodgrain slipcase. Numerous decorative initials designed by Alberto Sangorski printed in gold and colors and 12 COLOR PLATES including a particularly elaborate title and first page with illustrations designed by E. Geddes. Printed in red and black. Potter 81; Paas 4120. ◆Binding with half a dozen small yellow stains spine lightly soiled label with a couple small scratches plates with light speckled gray strip at leaf edges from printing process otherwise quite pleasing--very fresh internally printed on high quality paper and in a solid scarcely worn binding without any of the usual splaying that vellum invites.<br/> <br/> This is limited edition facsimile of an original manuscript illuminated and written out by Alberto Sangorski and illustrated by Ewan Geddes based on FitzGerald's enduringly popular translation of Omar Khayyam. It is a very attractive and well-preserved facsimile of the fine work produced by Sangorski & Sutcliffe when the firm was at the top of their game. After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912. During that year the firm suffered three major blows: their famously splendid jewelled binding dubbed the "Great Omar" was lost on the Titanic; a few weeks after this accident Francis himself drowned; and Francis' brother Alberto who had been a central figure in producing the firm's vellum illuminated manuscripts went over to Riviere. Despite these losses the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. Though he was best known for his watercolor scenes of rural and winter landscapes Scottish artist Ewan Geddes 1866-1935 abandons his usual restrained palette in this collaboration with Sangorski & Sutcliffe employing instead a colorful array of paints that capture the warmth and sensuous lyricism of the text.

19153528Philadelphia 1915. Collection of a total of 285 manuscript and typescript pages of prose poetry and dramatic material written and edited by suffragist Sarah Dickson Lowrie 1870-1957. Lowrie a columnist and editor at the Philadelphia Public Ledger was also an activist. Founder of the Philadelphia Women's Committee later Chairperson of the Philadelphia League of Women Voters she used her public platform to promote equality for women and the working poor. An exceptional collection of material capturing the range of Lowrie's work as an author and editor including three genres across a period of at least 15 years. <br /> <br /> Included are:<br /> <br /> Autograph Manuscript including 5 published and unpublished works 202 pages dated 1900-1903<br /> Bound in half sheep over pebbled cloth measuring 7 x 8 inches and dated 1900-1903. The gift inscription in Lowrie's hand on the front endpaper "Mabel Norris Stewart April 1900" suggests that the notebook was a gift from her sister a major supporter of Sarah's career. Indeed the bulk of the manuscript documents Lowrie's composition and heavy revision of her story David the Hero from May 1900-August 1902 pages 1-35 59-175 with headings and notes for each section regarding dates of completion. The final entry states: "Finished these tales August 26 1902 - and dedicated them to Mary Mabel Norris Stewart with all my heart. Published Easter 1903." <br /> <br /> Interspersed within the notebook are other pieces of work by Lowrie. which appear to be unpublished. St. John of the Wilderness pages 35-56 is dated January-February 1901. The poem Away from You pages 57-58 is dated February 25 1901 and is accompanied by an original sketch. A story Peter the Fisherman pages 176-194 is dated August 25 1903. And the final piece dated November 25 1903 is on the death of her father pages 195-202 and appears to include a family history as well as a tribute to the man. Tucked loosely within the volume is a letter to Sarah from another female author identified only as J.S.C. regarding a short story. Also loosely inserted is a 1 page Autograph Poem unsigned in Lowrie's hand with content that ties together authorship and sex: ".Take my ovary Let me go Unapproached by further woe; But if you want What matters next Take o take my Appendix." Together the group shows her writing process and her ability to work on multiple projects during a highly creative period. Further research could link together the works based on religious themes Lowrie's work in activism and journalism and her own family's history.<br /> <br /> Autograph Playscript Signed for Me-Too 16 pages dated 1915<br /> Unbound but with a contemporary straight pin holding the upper left corner. Written fully in pencil with Lowrie's notation that the play was "written on July 19th & played on August 26 1915." What appears to largely be a fair copy of the two-act play the manuscript does contain checklists and notes on the first page regarding materials and equipment needed for staging. The final page is detached and incomplete but similarly contains scratch notes for the performance. <br /> <br /> Typed Manuscript Unsigned and hand annotated for The Idol 52 pages undated<br /> Unbound with loose pages measuring 8.5 x 11 inches. A short story -- possibly authored by Lowrie but definitely edited and annotated in her hand. Here the attention to detail and hands-on approach Lowrie takes are apparent. Meticulously corrected in type and in pencil with extensive portions excised or changed the typescript has also been cut apart and pasted back together throughout. The result is mispagination and the creation of a very new version of the original story.<br /> <br /> Autograph Poem Unsigned 4 pages undated<br /> Tied with blue string at the header. Pages measuring 6.75 x 10.25 inches and cut unevenly. A largely fair copy with one correction to the final line. Lowrie here tackles the themes of war violence and pacifism asserting women's place within them. "If I had been a pacifist 2000 years ago I grant you I'd have been unique and ready for a show. For in those old bloody days men really did in truth Demand an eye for a lost eye and for a tooth a tooth.One thousand years ago indeed the world had changed in part; Men's fights were then adjusted - sometimes - by words in court.Now I've been watching how things change And how the old's reversed; I always like to look ahead instead of last be first." References to war and technology including cars suggest that the present poem post-dates WWI.<br /> <br /> Typed Playscript Unsigned for The Flower Garden 8 pages undated<br /> Unbound but with two contemporary straightpins at the upper right corner. On legal paper measuring 8.5 x 12 inches. Annotated throughout in pencil with stage directions casting notes and revised lines. A play in one act it does appear that the play was performed and the present manuscript was used in its unfolding. The rear page is annotated heavily with the names of various players almost all women. Further research could definitely be conducted on those names and on the potential performance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Research opportunities abound for scholars including but not limited to American community theater performances the history of publication in women's magazines the connection between literature and women's activism themes in a pacifist suffragist's writing methods of composition and annotation and the work of Sarah Lowrie herself. unknown
