(224) SS. Deutsche Handschrift auf Papier. Folio (ca. 228:338 mm). Orginaler Leinenband der Zeit mit Rückenschildchen. Sitzungsberichte des österreichischen Alpinvereins "D'Ödsteiner", verfasst von den Schriftführern Josef Bauernfeind, Peter Gepp und Lambert Spetla. Mit Berichten über Vereinsaktivitäten wie Kränzchen, Tombolas, Diavorträgen und Silvesterfeiern sowie gemeinsamen Bergtouren, zu deren Teilnahme immer wieder aufgerufen wird: "Koll. Kozmut berichtet [...] die Partien seien flau besucht und er richtet an die Mitglieder die Mahnung sich für dieselben mehr zu interessieren" (1. X. 1921). Außerdem Angaben zu Einnahmen und Ausgaben der Gesellschaft, zu Mitgliederstand und Jahresbeitrag sowie zum Verleih alpiner Ausrüstungsgegenstände wie Steigeisen und Ski, die nicht immer reibungslos funktionierte: "Koll. Panzhof frägt an was der Ausschuß im Falle Sky Verleihung an Koll. Swoboda zu tun und ist entschieden dafür, die Leihgebühr und einen Riemen energisch einzutreiben" (28. VI. 1924). Wohl aus änlichem Anlass wurde bereits in der Sitzung vom 11. XII. 1920 eine Skiordnung mit 5 Punkten erarbeitet, die eine Entlehngebühr von 5 Kronen pro Woche festlegte. - Weitere debattierte Themen waren der Bau von Schutzhütten, die Markierung der Wanderwege, die Anschaffung neuer Wanderkarten und der Bezug eines neuen Vereinslokals: "Koll. Wisinger richtet an den Ausschuß die Anfrage was er in Punkto Vereinslokal zu tun gedenkt da der derzeitige Zustand auf die Dauer nicht haltbar sei [...] Die Koll. Hadinetz, Spetla und Mandler werden diesbezüglich beauftragt noch in der laufenden Woche die Lokalfrage zu erledigen" (2. VIII. 1924). Recht erstaunlich ist eine in den 1920er Jahren angestrebte Unterbindung des Alkoholkonsums auf Schutzhütten ("Das Alkoholverbot auf den Schutzhütten wird so gut als möglich durchgeführt", 20. I. 1924). - Einige Protokolle mit Gegenzeichnung und Stempel eines Mitglieds des Kontrollgremiums. Einband leicht berieben und etwas fleckig; Kapitale bestoßen. Papier etwas braunfleckig.

Sans nom ni lieu, 1876. Entièrement manuscrit et peint à la main à la manière des enluminures, un cahier In-4 relié demi chagrin rouge, dos à nerfs soulignés de filets dorés, plats de percaline rouge titrant "souvenir de 1876", toutes tranches dorées. Chaque jour de l'année occupe une page, avec le nom du saint ou de la sainte du jour enluminé à la main et en couleurs, chaque mois débute par une grande enluminure naïve, suit une page pour la liste des saints jours aprés jour, des annotations dans une colonne spéciale "lunaisons et temps présumable, pour chaque quartier de lune", ensuite une page par jour et à la fin de chaque mois une page de récapitulation et notes diverses. Plusieurs pages présentent des dessins de fleurs en guirlandes tous différents. En frontispice une grande réflexion manuscrite dans un encadrement floral : "avis salutaires. On ne doit point rechercher, ce serait un malheur de savoir, quelle fin les Dieux nous réservent : n'interrogeons pas non plus les nombres magiques, il sera mieux quoiqu'il arrive de nous soumettre, soit que Jupiter nous accorde encore plusieurs printemps, soit que celui qui va venir soit le dernier. Soyons sages et retranchons les longs espoirs du court espace de la vie. Tandis que nous parlons, l'heure envieuse s'enfuit. Profitons du jour présente et fions nous le moins possible au lendemain ". L'ensemble est naïf, de la main d'un artiste amateur et... patient.

Burnham Market [in the district of King's Lynn, Norfolk], 1589. Manuscript indenture on vellum, outlining a conveyance of land in the environs of Burnham Market, from Edward Clarke of Stanhoe to John Barrett of Barwick, with a monogram magenta red wax seal. Text is in Latin. Document measures approximately 47 x 9 cm, with wax seal affixed to vellum pendant. Some age-toning, otherwise in very good condition. Latin indenture made in the thirty-first year of the reign of Queen Elizabeth I [1589] concerning land in the area of Burnham Market, very near to Stanhoe, with which John Barrett of Barwicke acquires land from Edward Clarke of Stanhowe. A William Baxter is also mentioned in this document. The wax seal features imagery of a sword or staff within monogram letters, suggesting a notable status of service to the king. This is an exceptionally scarce and consequently significant concerning property rights in the sixteenth century feudal era of England, dated only thirty years from the earliest parish record held in Norfolk registry archives, and featuring a most interesting wax seal. Stanhoe is a village and civil parish in the district of King's Lynn and West Norfolk, only 19 miles from the seaside village of King's Lynn which would later be the birthplace of Captain George Vancouver the great navigator of Pacific Northwest America fame.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original manuscript (handwritten) letter (ALS) signed as a Turkish / Ottoman minister in Washington addressed 'Cher Monsiuer', evidently taking in hand the arrangements for his correspondent's visit to Constantinople. 18x11 cm. In French. 3 p. Washington, 25 January 1878. Folds, lightly toned, some mnor blemmishes. Embossed crest with Greek inscription 'Epeude Vradeus'. Gregory "Ligor" Aristarchis also known as Aristarchi Bey, was an Ottoman diplomat of Phanariote Greek ethnicity, compiler of a corpus of Ottoman legislation. Originally a provincial jurist, he became the director of foreign correspondence of Crete beginning in 1861, and then from 1867 the Smyrna (Izmir) directeur politique ("political director") and vice-governor. He served as Ottoman Minister in Washington from 1873 to 1883 with Alexandros Mavrogenis. The Ottoman government dismissed him from his post. Sinan Kuneralp, the author of "Ottoman Diplomatic and Consular Personnel in the United States of America, 1867-1917," argued that his relationship with Midhat Pasha was the "more likely" reason why he was fired, while the official accusation was that Aristarchis misused money from a weapons deal. After 1883 he lived in Paris where he worked as an advisor to Alfred Nobel. After the fall of Abdul Hamid II, he served as an Ottoman envoy to the Netherlands, where he died. He composed one of the first collections of the Ottoman law in 7 volumes in the French language: "egislation ottomane, ou Recueil des lois, reglements, ordonnances, traités, capitulations et autres documents officiels de l'Émpire Ottoman", Constantinople: Imprimerie, Frères Nicolaides.
[England], September 1848. Manuscript notes on the treatment of cholera by R. Baikie, former surgeon in the Madras Medical Service, made during the second cholera pandemic, and transcribed by an unknown nineteenth century hand. 8vo. Double leaf measuring 11 x 18 cm, watermarked with the year 1848. Very good condition. Written during the second cholera pandemic,which erupted in 1839 and persisted until 1856, and at the onset of the outbreak in London, British physician Dr. Baikie's notes examine early hydrotherapy treatments by Vincenz Priessnitz and Heinrich Friedrich Francke, leaders in the study and cure of the disease in the mid-1800s. Most interestingly, the cures prescribed here are partly accurate and partly opposite to what science have since discovered to be effective. For example,while continued eating aids in the speed of recovery of normal intestinal function, herein the experts suggest eating as little as possible. However, continuous hydration with fluid intake was also prescribed, and remains a paramount part of treatment today. [Robert Baikie, MD, was a military surgeon with the Thirty-sixth Native Infantry in Madras, retiring from service in 1844.] Indeed, as Baikie predicts, in 1849, a second major outbreak spread across Europe. In London, it was the worst outbreak in the city's history, claiming 14,137 lives, over twice as many as the 1832 outbreak, and also claiming 5,308 lives in the major port city of Liverpool. Excerpts from the letter: "It will doubtless at this time, when cholera appears to be rapidly approaching, be both interesting & useful to know how the disease was treated by the celebrated Priessnitz of Graefenberg, during the last epidemic of 1832-33, when, as stated from good authority he had from 30-40 cases brought to him , & did not lose one. The subjoined was taken down from his own lips by a German friend who communicated it to me..." "[from Priessnitz]... In light cases it was found sufficient to use sitting baths at 59 degrees continued in some cases so long as two hours, with uninterrupted friction of the abdomen & extremities, plentiful drinking of cold water, & thereafter 1 or 2 clysters... In several cases where cramps... paralysis had already come on, the patient was put into a half bath... rubbed while every part of the body attained natural warmth... several hours... then packed in a wet sheet till gentle perspiration came on... frequent enemata of cold water, & sitting baths... according as severe pain in the belly or cramps in the bowels occurred... The after cure consisted of repeated wet packing, 2 long side baths daily, 2 enemata daily, & compress round the body. The patient to eat as little as possible... light white bread & cold water being the best diet." [end] "... The mode of treatment recommended by his celebrated scholar Francke (Rausse)... used the sitting baths & shallow baths at a temperature of 65 degrees to 68 degrees & not more than 20 minutes... Instead of the wet packing, he put the patient to bed, & covered him up warm... washed in a half bath, or if very weak, gently washed down in bed..." "The case above described, which occurred just after M. Franke's melancholy death, was treated on his principles by his pupil & assistant M. Halin." End Excerpts. Vincenz Priessnitz, also written Prießnitz (1799-1851) was a peasant farmer in Gräfenberg, Austrian Silesia, who is generally considered the founder of modern hydrotherapy, which is used in alternative and orthodox medicine. Priessnitz stressed remedies such as suitable food, air, exercise, rest and water, over conventional medicine. Priessnitz gave water treatments to patients of the Great Cholera Pandemic of 1832. Heinrich Friedrich Francke (1805-1848) (Pseudonym: J. H. Rausse) was an expert in hydrotherapy, and wrote several papers on the subject beginning in 1839. His enthusiasm for the treatment method came after a water cure with Priessnitz in Gräfenberg, 1838. Francke subsequently opened his own cold water treatment facilities. Manuscript
Spain, 1512. Manuscript will and testament, in Latin, of Anthonio Colonier from the Catalan village of Arenys de Munt, dated Calella, 8 May 1512. Folio, 27 x 34 cm, written in a neat scribal hand on vellum. Some age-toning, otherwise in very good condition, a rare manuscript document surviving over 500 years. Latin Manuscript Will and Testament of Catalan Farmer from Arenys de Munt, 1512. The will and testament of Anthonio Colonier, a farmer from the Catalan village of Arenys de Munt in the outskirts of Calella (where the will was signed) and north of Barcelona. In it, Colonier names his daughter, Eulalie, as his legitimate heir. Arenys de Munt is a municipality in the comarca of the Maresme in Catalonia, Spain. It is situated inland from the coast, in the el Corredor range. It retains a textile industry and is also known for the production of strawberries, cherries and liqueurs. (Arenys is Catalan for "sands (of a seasonal creek)" and de Munt for "up hill"). Manuscript
[Berlin], 22 February [1895]. Rudolf Diesel's retained copy of his own signed manuscript letter to Samuel Breslauer, following up on previous correspondence concerning the installation of his prototype diesel engine, during the design stage. Text is in German. 4to. Single leaf, 4 lines of text on onion skin paper measuring approximately 30 x 24 cm. Minor age-toning, otherwise in very good condition. Rudolf Christian Karl Diesel (1858-1913), needing no introduction, was a German inventor and mechanical engineer who is world-famous for having invented the Diesel engine. At the time of this letter, Diesel was diligently working on altering and perfecting his 1893 engine design. This design would later be known as the diesel engine. The first prototype Motor 150/400, had been completed 12 July 1893. Initial tests proved it to be a successful concept. By October 1895, after the first prototype had been converted into the second prototype Motor 220/400, it had become clear that, a completely new engine had to be designed from scratch. On 20 February 1896, Krupp, Maschinenfabrik Augsburg, and Diesel, decided to start the development of the new engine. The new engine was supposed to be a 250 mm bore engine with a 400 mm stroke. On 5 March 1896, Diesel filed a patent application for supercharging; on 26 March, it was decided to build the new engine with a supercharger. In order to improve the efficiency of the development process, a new design bureau was built directly into Diesel's Augsburg testing laboratory. Several young engineers worked there, including Imanuel Lauster. On 30 April 1896, after Lauster had completed the drawings, the workshop at Augsburg began making parts for the engine. The first successful Diesel engine Motor 250/400, designed by Rudolf Diesel, was officially tested in 1897 by German industrial engineer Moritz Schröter. Schröter concluded, "we are beholding a quite marketable machine that has been thoroughly designed with great attention to every single detail." At this time, several firms bought licences for building legal copies of the Motor 250/400. It is now on display at the German Technical Museum in Munich. The recipient of the correspondent is Samuel Breslauer (1870-1942), a lawyer, journalist and editor, who rose to be head of the Politics department for the Berlin newspaper "Berliner Lokal Anzeiger", a daily newspaper with one of the highest national circulations of its time. Breslauer is remembered as one of the numerous Jews who were captured and deported camp during the holocaust. Surely his public role would have made him an immediate target by the German extremist leader. In August 1942, Breslauer and his wife Bertha were taken to the Theresienstadt concentration camp where they both died, she within four days.
8vo. 19 pages, plus introduction, penned on 6 string-tied double leafs bearing the watermark 'Cansell 1834.' Item measures approximately 10,5 x 17,5 cm. Slight age-toning, otherwise in very good condition. Unrecorded English manuscript translation of Ahmet Resmî Efendi's lesser known narrative "Viyana Sefaretnamesi" in which he described his diplomatic embassy to Vienna during the Seven Years' War. This is an abridged work, providing a summary of the journey from Istanbul to Vienna in 1757, and most importantly, his official meeting with Francis I, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Germany. The English writer includes footnotes on some Ottoman custom and terminology, drawing these from the work of Austrian diplomat and orientalist Joseph von Hammer-Purgstall (1774-1856) who, at around this same time, had translated the earlier Sefâretnâme of Evliya Efendi ito English. Ahmet Resmî Efendi's report "Viyana Sefaretnamesi" was written immediately upon his return to Istanbul from Vienna in 1758. Manuscript
8vo, 154 pages, 80 pages of ads, bound in original publisher's cloth, heavily annotated and inscribed by author on title page, a rare Presentation Copy in very good condition. A linguistic and and folkloric study, issued in the publisher's Oriental Series. Scarce in the first edition. Tsuni-Goam is a figure in the Khoikhoi mythology. He is sometimes called a trickster figure, similar to Cagn of the related Bushmen people. In other contexts, he appears as a patron of hunters and in some stories he even had a part in creating the world. The multiple roles of have been called a reflection of the fluidity of the Khoisan's religious resources and rituals, which are usually ambiguous and lack in standardization. He was also a life-death-rebirth figure, dying and resurrecting himself on numerous occasions. Resulting from this, his funeral cairns can be found in many locations in southern Africa, and it is customary to throw a stone onto them for good luck Manuscript
Manuscript signed letter by Scottish art collector James Dennistoun to Lady Ann Cullum, while both are in Rome, concerning her acquisition of paintings by Crivelli, and making recommendation for a skilled local Italian restorer. 8vo. 3 pages in manuscript, double leaf measuring approximately 12,5 x 19 cm, with seashell watermark, integral address being simply 28 Corso, remnants of a green wax seal. Undated, but similar correspondence in the Cullum archives help to date this letter to the period before 1842. A small segment of mounting paper adhered to verso, loss to one corner at margin, text unobstructed, otherwise in very good condition. The paintings discussed in this correspondence are indeed treasures of antiquity, made by Carlo Crivelli (Venice c. 1430 - Ascoli Piceno 1495), Italian Renaissance painter of conservative Late Gothic decorative sensibility, who spent his early years in the Veneto, where he absorbed influences from the Vivarini, Squarcione and Mantegna. Crivelli's works are exceedingly scarce. Only two can be found today in Venice, both in the church of San Sebastiano. It is interesting to note that the present letter refers to more than one Crivelli painting, "the Crivellis... they" etc. Without seeing these specific art works, but holding the ancient artist in due high regard, Dennistoun states that they would surely equal Crivelli's other well-known and venerated pieces. He also estimates a value of 3,000 piastres [modest indeed for such an invaluable prize]. Manuscript
