8vo. Italian manuscript on paper. 1 p. Together with another contemporary copy of the sonnet (8vo, ½ p.). This unpublished sonnet was written in honour of the deceased Pope Clement XIV, who had died on 22 September 1774, and probably circulated in Rome at that time: "Chi giace in questa Tomba? Il Corpo giace / Del Gran Clemente. E l'Alma or è salita? / In grembo al suo Fattor pronto e spedita, / E di sua luce ivi trionfa e tace. / Chi piange? Il Mondo. E chi duol si sface? / Roma. Ed al duolo qual cagion l'invita? / Perchè sparendo Lui, seco è sparita / E Giustizia, e Bontà, Letizia, e Pace. / Chi fà al Sepolcro suo fregio, e corona? / Religion. Chi serba [!] la memoria? / Colui, che alla Virtude applausi dona. / Dunque in van Morte rea si vanta, e gloria, / Se in Cielo, e qui frà noi vive, e risuona, / E chiaro andrà nella futura Istoria". - The poem is a close adaptation of an elegiac sonnet in Giacomo Bratteolo's collection "Rime di diversi elevati ingegni della Citta di Udine" published in 1597. - The most consequential and controversial decision of Pope Clement XIV was the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773. This political act led to a surge in propaganda for and against the Jesuits and the Pope. The sonnet at hand must be seen in this context, although it does not refer to the disgraced Jesuits, choosing rather to elevate the deceased Pope as a beacon of virtue whose grave is rightfully crowned by Religion. - With minor fire damage.
Folio. Italian manuscript on paper. 1½ pp. In the guise of a supplication by the city of Rome to Spanish King Charles III (1716-88) following the death of Pope Clement XIV in 1774, this poem with 34 verses of 6 lines is a fiercely caustic enumeration of anti-Jesuit tropes and slanders. Among the common accusations levied against the Jesuits was the fabrication of a link between the Society and Robert-François Damiens, who had attempted to assassinate Louis XV in 1757: "Tu sai che nella Francia / Un caro a lor si cangia / In Sicario ed assase, / Perfido disleale, / Il Monarca al cospetto / Del Popol tutto per uprirgli il pecto." In one of the final verses the poem calls for Charles III, who "will extinguish the stains on the forks", to take up his sword "in every street" against those who have insulted "the majesty of the kings and of the church". - The most consequential and controversial decision of Pope Clement XIV was the suppression of the Society of Jesus in 1773. This political act led to a surge in propaganda for and against the Jesuits and the Pope. Spain had already expelled the Jesuits in 1767. - Traces of folds and insignificant brownstaining.
4to. Italian manuscript on paper. ½ p. The premise of this unpublished eulogy for Clement XIV (1769-1774) is a comparison between the Pope and the hero Rinaldo in the enchanted forest, the most famous episode of Torquato Tasso's "La Gerusalemme liberata" with the Jesuits serving as his foe. Clement is "greater than Rinaldo and strong and brave / Inspired by heaven, supreme sheperd" who "smashed the Ignatian branch to the soil". - On 21 July 1773, Clement XIV issued the papal brief "Dominus ac Redemptor Noster" ordering the suppression of the Society of Jesus. This was probably the most controversial political decision of the 18th century, leading to a surge of propaganda for and against the Jesuits and the Pope that culminated after Clement's death on 22 September 1774. - On the verso are two quotations from Virgil's Aeneid, cautioning against hubris and blasphemy: "Discite iustitiam moniti et non temnere divos!" (VI, 620) and "Flectere si nequeo superos, Acheronta movebo" (VII, 312).

4to (172 x 202 mm). German manuscript on paper by various hands. 298 written pp. on 180 ff. (including flyleaves). Contemporary half calf over marbled boards. An extensive German commonplace book, continuously expanded for nearly a century by a family of merchants, farmers, and mariners, one of whom sailed to Virginia on the HMS Lion to join the fleet of Admiral Cornwallis, probably in 1779 during the American Revolutionary War. - The first part (comprising some 40 ff.) offers an anthology of maxims, aphorisms, and anecdotes about the Vienna Court Theatre, about Garrick and Hogarth, King George III and Voltaire, etc., apparently mainly compiled in the 18th century, with a few later additions by other hands. The second part, begun by the same writer and considerably expanded by several later owners of the book, contains a vast miscellany of historical and historico-cultural themes. Items include a piece about verbal responses to sneezing, another about wigs and elaborate hairstyles throughout history, about the history of playing cards; and tables for housewives with which to calculate their annual expenses. Later entries focus more strongly on household remedies against illnesses (such as cholera and dropsy) and agricultural advice (how to get rid of weevils, how to increase the fertility of fruit trees). - Occasionally, the notes will provide a more immediate glimpse of the life of the writer: underneath a discussion of how to calculate the deadweight tonnage of a ship of 100 cannons with a crew of 1000 men, an early 19th century owner who signs his name "Bindseil" states that he himself "sailed on an English ship of the 2nd line, blue flag, of 64 cannons, named Lion, under Captain Fox, which was taking us to the English general Cornwallis in Virginia. On this ship were 1375 souls, 4 live oxen, 12 large pigs, the same number of rams, and 4 horses, which are not taken into account by the above calculation, as little as the minimum two anchors are, each of which weighs some 600 pounds and yet is quite indispensable [...]" (transl.). Not infrequently, an entry will cite the source from which it is drawn: newspapers and journals mentioned include the "Hamburgischer Correspondent", "Holzmindisches Wochenblatt", "Hannoverscher Anzeiger" and "Braunschweigische Zeitung", pointing to a Northern German origin. - Occasional light brownstaining; binding somewhat rubbed. A fine survival worthy of detailed study.
4to. French manuscript on paper. 68, 37 (but: 38) pp. Contemporary full cloth with blank spine-label. Extracts from the works of great philosophers, writers and historical personalities, jointly composed by several hands, probably bound together soon after completion. Includes passages from Seneca quoted by C. A. Demoustier in his "Cours de Morale" (1804), Esprit Flechier's "Oraison funèbre de Monsieur de Turenne" (1676), and Chateaubriand's "Martyrs" (1809), as well as an extract from the Gazette de France from 9 April 1808 about the writer Germaine de Stael (1766-1817). Other sources include Voltaire, Jean-Baptiste Massillon, Fréderic César de La Harpe, Marie Jeanne Riccoboni, Jacques Necker, François de Neufchâteau, Jean-François Marmontel, and the Marquis de Bonnay. With the transcript of a description of Prince Potemkin given by Catherine the Great in one of her letters edited by Madame de Stael, as well as a "Recette de faire une Tragédie moderne" by Monsieur Hayley. - Some corrections and deletions. Binding a little soiled. Paper occasionally browned and brownstained; a few marginal tears rebacked with paper. An uncommon survival reflecting the reading habits of what appears to have been a group of students.

Folio (220 x 355 mm). German manuscript on paper. A sheaf of court documents containing records and correspondence (some as drafts or copies). 30 pp., folio und 4to, thread-stitched in grey wrappers with handwritten cover title as quoted above. Uncommon example of early modern court records relating to a case of sexual assault in the principality of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt (now Thuringia). During the night of Sunday, 14 January 1821, the 19-year-old maidservant Johanna Christiane Pröschold from Piesau was brutally raped at Pfeiffer's inn in Ascherbach (now part of Lichte near Neuhaus am Rennweg) by Friedrich Scherf, Adolph Brödel, Markus Glaser, Christoph and Wilhelm Wächter, as well as Carl Kampf from Lichte. The documents include the records of the statements made by the maid as well as by the perpetrators, signed by the local sheriff Johann Christoph Horn; a certificate of good character for Pröschold's employer, the innkeeper, given by the priest Johann Jakob Korn; the copy of a letter to the Administrative Office in Schwarzburg; and the draft of a report to the general counsel, König, in which it is said that the maid "suffered through this most villainous, shameful behaviour the most horrible maltreatment, indeed insulting to humanity, which in fact endangers her very life". The culprits were sentenced to corporal punishments and prison terms of various severity, spent at the Schwarzburg gaol. - A few leaves loose; a few insignificant edge flaws, but on the whole in excellent state of preservation.
