1987BIBLIO-58011Bibliothèque nationale Paris first edition 1987. Cloth large 8vo 31 cm. xvi 235 pp 16 colour plates and 256 black-and-white ills on 109 plates. 260 entries. A detailed catalogue of 260 manuscripts in the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale dating from the seventh century the Echtemach Gospels MS lat. 9389 onwards and either originating in the British Isles or illuminated by continental artisans clearly and strongly influenced by Insular forms. From a review by Robert G. Calkins in Speculum: "The entries are chronologically arranged insofar as possible and include all manuscripts containing any decoration beyond the slightest scribal embellishment without regard to aesthetic criteria. . Almost all manuscripts are illustrated with black-and-white photographs providing details of secondary as well as major decorations.The result is a thorough overview that presents a more balanced visual array of the total production than is usually found in catalogues of illuminated manuscripts. We can discover the range of decoration produced during a given period as well as follow the development of various decorative forms through the centuries the detailed description of manuscripts either previously unpublished or only cursorily mentioned in the literature provides a solid basis for further scholarship. Indeed this catalogue takes its place as an essential companion not only to the previous volumes presenting the collection of the Bibliothèque Nationale but also to the series edited by J. J. G. Alexander A Survey of Manuscripts Illuminated in the British Isles.". Very Good. Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, first edition, 1987 hardcover

194128255Croton-on-Hudson 1941. Brief 1-pp TLS on Eastman's personal Croton-On-Hudson letterhead addressed to a "Mr. Simon" dated November 14 1941. Single holograph correction in Eastman's hand. Mailing folds; slightly toned at margins; Very Good. Regarding the recipient's letter to the Reader's Digest of September 24 Eastman had been hired as an editor for the conservative publication earlier in the same year. The subject appears to be the institution of the death penalty in the Soviet Union: ".Nobody questions the fact that the death penalty was decreed for theft of 'socialist property' and the extension of all penalties to children twelve years old automatically extends that one. I am sorry to say I can not tell you offhand when the previous decree was issued but I think it was the Spring of 1934. unknown
194528254New York 1945. Brief TNS on Eastman's personal W. 13th St. letterhead addressed to "Josephine" dated November 25 1945. Old folds else Fine with bright clear autograph: "Dear Josephine: Thanks so much for the news -- sad as it all was -- in your letter. It was nice to hear from you. I hope the autobiography may live up to your expectations." The recipient is likely the American proletarian novelist and essayist Josephine Herbst 1892-1969; the "sad news" to which Eastman refers may well have been Herbst's ongoing battles with her former husband and fellow novelist John Herrmann. unknown
