Manuscript leaf introducing an early work of translation by a Franciscan Friar of the Third Order, hand painted in full colour and featuring fascinating symbolism. Text is in Latin. Leaf measures approximately 34 x 49 cm. One soft fold, minor age-toning, otherwise in very good condition, a beautifully preserved hand painted document made at the turn of the 18th century. The present document suggests that as membership of the Franciscan Third Order grew rapidly, and no formal papal education was being received by those preaching in the streets, there was a need for some form of instruction or guidance. As such, some of the key and simple canonical documents began being written for the laymen/women to understand the principles. The symbolism features intimation of anti-slavery. Purposed with works of teaching the gospel, providing charity, and social well-being for the public, early members of the Franciscan Third Order were a community focused on truth and humility, striving to emulate Christ and model a pure life. The symbolism in the manuscript illustration of the present document is fascinating and enlightening, in particular the focal image top and center. This is an armorial motif depicting slavery, rather the Catholic church's purported desire to slavery. Unlike the standard Moor's head seen in the papal coat of arms seen since early days, the imagery here features an African tribal warrior chief, all seen but his legs, with a confident stance and holding a spear up high in declaration; this is drawn inside of a gold shield topped with the pope's mitre simplex headdress. As a whole, this could be interpreted as the Franciscan Third Order's support to abolish slavery. Some of the more common instances of symbolism are the red ribbons to signify the Blood which Christ, and the laurel leafs in a circular placement as in the ancient Greek custom of symbolising victory, honor, and peace, in this case being victory over sin, honor to the Holy one, and peace on earth. There are also two large gilt fleur-de-lis, which is often said to from 1244 in the arms of the Kings of France, although clearly used earlier as this document precedes the latter event by 40 years. In early Catholic-based examples such as the present leaf, the fleur-de-lis is believed to represent either the Trinity, or the lancehead of a spear such as which would have pierced the side of Jesus on the Cross.

8vo, 124 pages plus 15 page index, bound in contemporary Continental paper boards, a very good example of this rare book. In this work, Schütze deals with human sacrifices of the Germanic and Nordic races, a long forgotten practice of the people in the Arctic Circle trying to appease the gods in order to bring about favorable results in war and harvest. This seems to be the first work on this subject and was quoted as the authorative book of the 18th century. Rare in a First Edition.
..... Reise auf den Jungfrau-Gletscher und Ersteigung seines Gipfels, durch die Herrn Rudolf Meyer und Hieron. [Travel to Jungfrau Glacier and Climbing its Summit, by Mr. Rudolf Meyer and Hieron.] Weitere Nachricht über die Reise der Gebrüder Meyer auf den Jungfrau-Gletscher. [More News about the Journey of the Meyer Brothers to the Jungfrau Glacier.] Three seperate reports in 37 pages. Text is in German. A scarce primary source account of the first ascent of the Jungfrau Glacier. This is a complete monthly issue, containing 383 pages, from which 37 pages are related to the above mentioned account. Attractively bound in period style brown cloth over blue marbled boards, titled in gilt to spine. This issue contains three separate contemporary reports on the first successful ascent of Jungfrau, a well-known Swiss mountain dominating the Lauterbrunnen valley, by two Swiss brothers, Rudolf and Hieronymus Meyer, who were accompanied by two chamois hunters from the Valais. The summit was first reached on the eastern or Valais side, on August 3, 1811, almost 100 years prior to the construction of the remarkable Jungfraujoch railway in 1912. They first had to reach the Aletschfirn, or the west branch of the Aletsch Glacier, and established a base camp north of the Aletschhorn. After 3 days climbing they successfully reached the summit. Their ascent was disputed, motivating them to repeat it the following September. Used the same route to demonstrate their inital and continued success, this time they carried a flag with them. These are the original pages printed in 1811, and NOT a reprint. This narrative is from a rare multi-volume geographical and scientific journal titled "Allgemeine Geographische Ephemeriden", which issued fifty volumes from 1798-1816 and which encompassed critical contemporary topics of geography and astronomy. Adam Christian Gaspari and Franz Xaver von Zach were editors of this important scientific journal.
Lot of seven monastic manuscripts, 1842-1844, hand coloured and illustrated by the writer, Otto Sandkamp, a German monk of the Catholic church, including a memorial to a notable Father Martin, verses to nature and specifically to the sun, and some hymns. 8vo. Seven manuscript documents on five leafs, two of which are signed by the author, four of which are dated. Text is in German. Leafs vary in size, the smallest measuring approximately 33 x 42 cm, and the largest measuring approximately 33 x 21 cm. Some age-toning and, otherwise in very good condition, beautifully preserved, clean and bright. One of the leafs is a eulogy-like dedication to Father Martin, possibly the respected Oblate who in 1838 was sent by the Bishop of Marseilles C.J. Eugene to Cotignac, in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France. Built in the 12th century, falling into disrepair, and being confiscated by the State during the French Revolution, the chapel was finally restored and put back into use in 1840 owing to a generous donation by a German family. Father Martin's "Mission of Cotignac" began in February 1842, only a few weeks after the present document of 18 January 1842, for his mission at the Chapelle Saint Martin. Some further examples of the headings include Süße, heilige natur. [Sweet, Holy Nature.], An die natur. [To nature.], and Ossian an die Sonne. [Ossian on the Sun.] Manuscript
Seven official decrees issued by the Royal Prussian Court, dealing solely with tobacco usage and trade. The earliest are printed by Christian Albrecht Gäbert, the others by Georg Jacob Decker. Folio. Double leafs, early handmade laid paper, untrimmed edges, several featuring woodcut engravings. Text is in German, ranging from 2-6pages of text, each document concluding with the woodcut initials 'LS' in cameo. Very good original condition, beautifully preserved. Seven separate edicts, from Berlin mid-1700s, are concerned primarily with despotism over manufacturing, selling, exporting, and even using tobacco at a personal level. Topics specifically address matters of potential fire induced by tobacco smoke, quality improvement, regulations and privileges for cigar makers, collection of duties on tobacco and transport, taxation of imported tobaccos, proper procedures for purchasing and selling which most often bereaves any small grower or entrpreneur from profit, and, finally, penalties for disobeying the laws. The collection includes the following: 22 June 1726. 3 pages, issued by the March (Margraviate) of Brandenburg, a major principality of the Holy Roman Empire, prohibits tobacco smoking in the any wooded terrain, forests, and the like. 20 October 1742. 2 pages with a cherub and crown woodcut engraving, prohibits civilians from smoking on hay wagons, and from bringing cigars into a barn. 8 July 1744. 6 pages on 2 double leafs, with a cherub and crown woodcut engraving, issued by the March (Margraviate) of Brandenburg,concerning careless and dangerous tobacco smoking practices. The substantial edict reinstates or re-proclaims an edict of 28 April 1723, appears to present consequences for contravening the law, and mentions in the first paragraph Valangin in Neufchatel-en-Bray, Haute-Normandie, France. Annotations from 1746 to front. 3 May 1745. 3 pages with a cherub and crown woodcut engraving, issued by the March (Margraviate) of Brandenburg, being a declaration of general privileges for the tobacco spinner, also known as a cigar maker, which regulates the market, specifically preventing the sale of any tobacco which does not bear the official "duties paid" sticker, and also preventing the purchase of tobacco from directly from farmers. 4 September 1766. 2 pages with a lovely regal woodcut engraving, a declaration of the 15th article, which controls the rights for trade, preventing civilians to sell tobacco to anyone other the Prussian state government. 20 February 1768. 3 pages, outlines eight separate points, this edict addresses foreign shipment and trade, specifically naming Chur, Prussia, Pomerania, Magdeburg, Halberstadt, and Silesia, stating that all shipments must be appropriately recorded and also reported to the authorities. 1 August 1770. 6 pages on 2 double leafs, with three woodcut engravings, comprises nineteen matters on the subject of tobacco contravention, outlining penalties for the illegal possession or transgressional usage of tobacco on which duties have not been paid.

17274204Stockholm Und Leipzig: Berlegis Johann Heinrich Russworm 1727. Hardcover. Good. Jesus Christ's Wholesome Reconciliation for Sinful Mankind. Sermons by a popular preacher at the time though I have found out very little about him. This is a remarkable and very rare book consisting of 3 large parts paginated separately; 660 535 416 pp. an index for all 3 parts which is 50 or more pp. long. All are bound together in a massive tome of unadorned vellum in good-only condition; the front board is warping beginning to split at the bottom near the spine; vellum soiled and the page edges have turned very dark. May have been rebound some time long ago; the endpapers are thicker than the text pages though they are laid paper; and the headbands are remarkably whole and unworn. The binding is quite tight. Front pastedown is marred with a few odd probably recent stains. Text pages are darkened to a deep cream but are free of foxing and quite legible if you can read the German Fraktur typeface. Has a frontispiece portrait probably of the author with a caption in Latin. Title page in red and black and has a complex woodcut vignette which I think is a publisher's device. <br/> <br/> Berlegis Johann Heinrich Russworm hardcover
