Preface par M. le Cte de MoüyFirst edition.<br /><br />Mémoires: L'Intervention Française au Mexique by Charles Blanchot. This very rare memoir by Charles Blanchot was aide-de-camp to General Bazaine Supreme Commander of French Forces in Mexico during Mexico's Second Empire. There is so much in here that has never seen light in either Spanish or English for instance: the powerful if behind-the-scenes role of Doña Juliana de Gómez Pedraza widow of Manuel Gómez Pedraza and the vicious if as Blanchot suggests unfounded rumors circulating in Mexico City about Bazaine in 1866-7. Blanchot who married an American of French origin in Mexico City also offers a detailed and lively portrait of Mexico City society at the time.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />First signature of volume one detached with some edge wear along the fore-edges title to volume two detached binding edges and hinges rubbed spines darkened.

18016703Breé 1801. Octavo 16.5 x 10 cm. 1-159 170 contiguous-175 176-205 pages. The title page has a neat decorative border in pen and ink and the hand is neat and quite legible throughout. ~ Evidently two recipe collection recorded in Latin in one volume. Combined the work contains approximately nine hundred fifty recipes for various botanical and medico-pharmaceutical remedies and medicines including preparations against rheumatism arthritis itching birth pains etc. The first part - which appears to be unpublished - occupies the initial 158 pages of the work and contains approximately five hundred fifty recipes in a rough alphabetical order. About the compiler of this first part Henri-Hubert Van der AA we have located little. The second part of the text 159 ff. is labeled "C.F. Reuss Dispens. universale" and appears to be a fair copy drawn from the Dispensatorium Universale seu lexicon chemico-pharmaceuticum ad tempora nostra accommodatum of Dr. Christian Frederick Reuss first published Argentorati Strasbourg in 1786 and then again in 1791. The formulae - approximately four hundred recipes - in the Dispensatorium Universale offered in alphabetical order are more detailed than the first part as they give both recipe and the circumstances in which the remedy can be used. Reuss was a Danish-born German botanist and professor of medicine at the University of Tübingen 1745-1813 and author of a number of important botanical and medico-pharmaceutical works. Subjects include Forumla Emitica Linctus Expectorantes F. Tonica Digestivae F. Absinth F. Antihysterica Ad Scabiem Contra Herpetem F. Anti-rheumatica F. Anti-arthriticae Ad Icterum Ad morbos Ad epilepsium Aqua Opthalmica Bacilli Ceratum Saturni Decoctum Lusitanicum Elixir Proprietat. Paracelsi Confectio Japonica Balsamodendron of Lucatelli Oleum Absinthii and many others. Some of the recipes have attributions and names include Matthews Hoffmann Sydenham Richard Millar Rosenstein Plencki Klein and Brickmann. ~ Contemporary paste paper over half sheepskin on raised bands; boards and edges rubbed corners rounded.

ST12778-0082South Germany or more probably Austria second half of the 12th century. 429 x 304 mm. 16 7/8 x 12". Double column 36 lines of text in a fine proto-gothic hand. <br/> ◆Text a bit faded on one side an upper corner slightly defective minor soiling and with the grain of the vellum apparent on verso but with the beautiful text entirely legible and the leaf as a whole quite pleasing.<br/> <br/> The hand here is memorable featuring wide upright letters that could not be more regular. Elected pope in 590 Gregory ca. 540-604 was one of the most influential pontiffs in the history of the Church. In addition to revising liturgical worship he wrote extensively on theology offering homespun wisdom rather than esoteric debates. He was declared a saint immediately upon his death. unknown

DEPICTING SAINTS. Headlines written in French in a later 18th century calligraphic hand. ◆Light soiling otherwise excellent specimens generally clean and smooth with ample margins and attractive decoration.<br/> <br/> From a charmingly decorated 15th century prayer book these lovely leaves offer the opportunity to acquire a miniature andconsiderable gold ornamentation at an attainable price. One leaf depicts Sts. Peter and Paul in a single frame and the other shows St. Vedast or Waast--a saint that was particularly venerated in France especially in the Arras region whence we be believe these leaves originated.
