18994002642Moscow: Sinodalnaya Typografija 1899. Fine. Octavo iv 114 paginated in Old Slavonic; old quarter sheep with marbled boards. <p><p>Rare: evangelical text translated into the Aleut language and printed in Cyrillic prepared by Ivan Veniaminov-Popov 1797-1879 the great Orthodox missionary to the northern Pacific. Veniaminov was educated in Irkutsk and as a young man he was selected for the Orthodox mission to Unalaska arriving there in 1822 with his wife and children. While there had been some successful conversions already the Church feared that Christian and indigenous beliefs had become merged. The scope of the missionary project soon expanded to include the entire Alaskan peninsula and surrounding islands a vast and often inhospitable geographical area. For ten years Veniaminov was an intrepid traveller often using small craft and kayaks to visit coastal settlements and travelling on foot through rugged mountainous regions. In 1832 he was appointed to a relatively sedentary position at Sitka as minister to the Tlingit of the Northwest Coast.</p> <p>Veniaminov was a skilled linguist fluent in several dialects; he prepared this evangelical text in the Aleut language which was first published by the Moscow Synod in 1840 and later in 1899 the present edition. Both editions are rare. As a pioneer apostle to the frozen north Veniaminov was canonized Saint Innocent and holds a cherished place in the history of the Orthodox Church.</p> </p> .

CONTAINING TRANSLATIONS OF PAPERS 1 TO 75 AND NOTES TO PAPERS 1 TO 65 INCLUSIVE. Depsite the Volume 1 designation there were no further volumes published. Both volumes have the title in Chinese characters at the head of the title-page as well as a contemporary ink ownership of J. E. Woodruff. In worn and rubbed contemporary bindings with marbled sides. Both volumes are missing the original red leather backstrip. The spine of the first volume WEN-CHIEN TZU-ERH CHI has been neatly covered with brown cloth tape and its hinges strengthened with white cloth tape. Additionally Volume 1 shows internal and external evidence of worming. Internally the worm damage is confined to the margins without affecting the text and there are some pencil notes. Sir Thomas Francis Wade 1818-1895 a British soldier turned diplomat and Sinologist was the first professor of Chinese at Cambridge University. He developed a system of romanizing the Chinese language based on pronunciation conventions of the Beijing dialect. The system was later modified by Herbert Giles another diplomat and scholar who had succeeded him as professor of Chinese at Cambridge and became known as the Wade-Giles system. It was widely used throughout much of the twentieth century to represent the sounds of Mandarin in Western publications and is still used to represent some personal and place names. This work was prepared with the express purpose of preparing individuals destined to join Her Majesty's Consular Service in China with the written language of government as it appeared in books and in official correspondence.

18912686De Smet Id: De Smet Mission 1891. Very good plus. 210pp. Gathered signatures never bound into the original printed wrappers. Minor edge wear. Untrimmed. A rare prayerbook printed in the Siouan language of Crow with headings printed in Latin. The work was published by the missionaries of the Society of Jesus at their De Smet Mission Press in Idaho. The present copy begins with the title page which reads "Preces Lingua Absavuki seu Corvorum Indorum." This copy lacks wrappers most likely because according to Schoenberg "Though published separately this work often appears bound with other imprints from the same press particularly with Cataldo's Catechism and the Selecta ex Historia Sacra." As such this copy was very likely reserved by the missionaries in De Smet for inclusion in a sammelband and thus lacks the wrappers.<br /> <br /> "It is probable that the greatest portion of the work was done by Prando recognized by the Jesuits as their greatest authority on the Crow language" - Schoenberg.<br /> Schoenberg Jesuit Mission Presses 74.

1867220096Yokohama. 1867. Map 25 x 35.3cm some creasing where it was once folded a few old repairs to corners with s closed tear along the upper margin sheet browned with a little spotting now professionally backed onto washi. Text in English. Scarce map. This scarce historically significant map depicts Yokohama’s foreign settlement shortly before the devastating fire of 26 November 1866. Known contemporaneously as the Butaya 豚屋 “Pork Shop” Fire or the Kannai 関内 Fire the blaze began in a pork restaurant and rapidly engulfed the adjoining brothel quarter resulting in the deaths of more than 400 prostitutes. One third of the Japanese quarter and approximately one quarter of the foreign settlement were destroyed. <br> <br>The map offers a valuable record of the township as it appeared prior to the disaster. It clearly marks the English and French Consulates the English and French wharfs and the English Naval Yard. Also shown is the well-known brothel Gankirō 岩亀楼 situated in the upper central area which catered to Western clientele. <br> <br>Yokohama had opened as a treaty port in 1859 and Western residents quickly established themselves near the waterfront. <br> <br>Following the 1866 fire the foreign concession was rebuilt in Western architectural styles while the brothel district was relocated outside the concession boundary. . unknown

1892List3029Indian Territory: N.p. 1892. Folio of eleven unbound sheets forty-four pages measuring approximately 6 x 8 inches. Marginal damage and fading to text; excellent. Amory Nelson Chamberlin 1821–1894 was born on Brainerd Mission in what is now Chattanooga Tennessee the son and grandson of missionaries. Fluent in both English and Cherokee Chamberlin worked as an interpreter and served under General Stand Watie in the Confederate States Army.1 After the war Chamberlin established the Pheasant Hill Mission near Vinita Indian Territory with Reverend Hamilton Balentine preaching in Cherokee and English.2<br /> <br /> Offered here is a Cherokee-language version of the Shorter Catechism translated by Chamberlin. The Cherokee written language is a syllabary—a writing system in which symbols represent whole syllables—developed in the early 19th century by Sequoyah a Cherokee leader and inventor. It was one of the first writing systems for an Indigenous American language and significantly increased Cherokee literacy within a short time of its adoption in the 1820s.3<br /> <br /> We find fifteen copies of Chamberlin’s catechism in OCLC. Of interest to historians of the Cherokee nation its language and its Christian missionaries.<br /> <br /> 1 Lon H. Eakes “Rev.
