1907CA0241A<p>509ix pages. Octavo 8 3/4" x 6 1/2" bound in quarter leather with raised spine bands over marbled boards gilt lettering to spine. Published under the direction of Bishop Plancarte y Navarrete with a brief bibliographical note by Nicolas Leon. From the library of George Foster. Second edition. <br /><br />Juan Gonzalez de la Puente born a Spaniard undertook to chronicle the Augustinians in Michoacan and to write the lives of nine "apostolic <em>varones</em>". Part 1 of his <em>Chronica</em> appeared not long after its composition about 1623. In 1630 the chapter meeting of his province in Tiripitio Michoacan authorized him to publish the second part but no trace of part 2 has to date been uncovered. In the extant manuscript he wrote the biographies of the nine friars scattered over three books. They are Juan Bautista de Moya Juan de Median Rincon Diego de Chaves Sebastian de Trasierra Francisco de Acosta Juan de Montalvo Francisco Lopez Pedro de Vera and Diego de Villarubia. As a matter of fact none of these belonged to the Michoacan province but were from Santisimo Nombre in Mexico City; but as they had been active in Michoacan before the latter was an officially established province Puente included them. Book 1 contains no lives of these men but instead is devoted to a wide range of topics. Among them is the discovery of the New World the conquest of Mexico and Augustinian activities in Mexico after arrival as well as in Persia and the Orient. Book 2 contains biographies of the first five missionaries and recounts in entire chapters Augustinian efforts among the Indians of Michoacan as well as to missions in China and Japan. The remaining four missionaries appear in book 3 which completes the account to his times of the Augustinian ministry to the Tarascans. At the edge of the text Puente indicates his main sources. His ideas are easy to follow but occasionally he lapses into a diffuse style especially when extolling the virtues of his brethren. He also has a predilection for the unusual and the extraordinary. His <em>Choronica</em>of Michoacan appeared in the same year 1624 as Grijalva's of Mexico although the latter province had been founded some 67 years earlier. A relative rare work the 1624 edition of which this was reissue.<br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview. The quantity quality and long-term value of his scholarly work led to his election to the National Academy of Sciences in 1976.

174849255Leiden: Jean Luzac 1748. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Quarto. 8 cviii 522 60 indices & corrigendapp. Text in two columns with Hebrew text and facing Latin translation interspersed with commentary. Title in red and black with engraved vignette; woodcut ornaments. Contemporary Dutch paneled vellum with blind-stamped vignettes and ruled borders; manuscript title at spine. Covers lightly soiled. Occasional touches of soiling and some leaves with mild embrowning. A very good copy generally crisp and clean.<br /> <br /> First edition of this comprehensive commentary to the biblical Book of Proverbs by the Dutch semitic language scholar Albert Schultens 1686-1750 who maintained "that the true nature of the Hebrew language and the meaning of many of its words and idioms are to be found chiefly in the Arabic" Orme. Forty-one pages of the indices constitute a brief lexicon and provide Latin as well as Arabic equivalents for more than 1000 Hebrew words. Schultens studied theology and eastern languages at Groningen where he received his degree in theology in 1709. After a brief career as a preacher in Wassenaar he was nominated professor of Hebrew and Jewish antiquities at Franeker in 1713. In 1729 he decamped for Leiden were he was first appointed reader in eastern languages and finally full professor in 1732.<br /> <br /> At this time a chief concern of Calvinist theologians was to liberate Old Testament exegesis from Jewish Rabbinic as well as Catholic traditions. Schultens' influential and controversial solution was revealed as early as 1706 in his first public thesis Disputatio theologico philologica de utilitate linguae Arabicae in interpretanda S. Scriptura A Theologico-Philosophical Dissertation on the Utility of the Arabic Language for the Interpretation of the Holy Scriptures "a forceful attack" Brugman & Schröder on the Protestant sola scriptura methodology of Biblical exegesis. "With the help of Jacobus Golius' Arabic dictionary he perused with zeal and fervour the Old Testament and wrote prolifically. The lexical superiority of Arabic had led him to a reconsideration of the position of Hebrew: at first he had called Arabic 'the most splendid daughter of mother Hebrew' but in his oration of 1729 he proclaimed Hebrew and Arabic cognate twin sisters. This shocked conservative theologians as an outright profanation of God's Word" Brugman & Schröder. <br /> <br /> Like his earlier commentary on the Biblical Book of Job one here finds that the "Hebrew text and the Latin translation are all but totally submerged by the extensive commentary in which Schultens draws abundantly on Arabic texts such as the Hamasa an anthology of early Arabic poetry by the ninth-century poet Abu Tammam" Vrolijk & van Leeuwen. Schultens was not without his critics and by 1824 William Orme notes a turning of the tide: "Different opinions are entertained of the correctness of his views and also of his success in applying them; but it is now generally admitted that he carries his notions of the advantage of Arabic learning to the interpretation of the Scriptures too far." <br /> <br /> Jean Luzac 1728-1777 was a member of a well-known Huguenot family of printers; he published many works for the University of Leiden including three Hebrew books of Albert Schultens. Isaac van der Mijn is noted as the printer at the colophon of the second volume.<br /> <br /> Provenance: bookplate of the Crozer Theological Seminary - Bucknell Library; bookseller's ticket of Librairie Ancienne et Moderne de Frederik Muller Amsterdam at the front paste-down.

Introduction by Francisco Gonzalez de Cossio. <b>From the library of George M Foster</b>. Second edition limited to 500 copies of which this is number 13.<br /><br />José Antonio Villaseñor y Sánchez was an 18th-century geographer historian and mathematician in New Spain. He was born in San Luis Potosí México and studied at San Ildefonso in Mexico City. He became an accountant and later official cosmographer geographer of New Spain. By order of Philip V the viceroy of New Spain Conde de Fuenclara was commanded in 1740 to have a report prepared on the true condition of the provinces of his jurisdiction. He commissioned José Antonio Villaseñor y Sánchez to prepare the report. Villaseñor occupied a number of important posts: official mayor of the Contaduria de Reales Tributos contador general de la azogues and cosmographer of New Spain. He wrote a number of works of mathematical and astronomical interest. The outcome of this commission by Fuenclara was the <i>Theatro Americano descripción general de los reinos y provincias de la Nueva España y sus jurisdicciones</i>. It appeared in two volumes in 1746 and 1748. The first volume contains introductory chapters on pre-Spanish and Spanish history of Mexico followed by a jurisdiction-by jurisdiction description of the archdiocese of Mexico and diocese of Puebla. The second volume continues the description for the diocese of Puebla. The second volume continues the description for the diocese of Michoacán Oaxaca Guadalajara and Durango. The work comprehends a great mass of data regarding the ethnology and population of the Mexican provinces in the mid-18th century. <i>Handbook of Middle American Indians</i>.<br /><br />George McClelland Foster Jr born in Sioux Falls South Dakota on October 9 1913 died on May 18 2006 at his home in the hills above the campus of the University of California Berkeley where he served as a professor from 1953 to his retirement in 1979 when he became professor emeritus. His contributions to anthropological theory and practice still challenge us; in more than 300 publications his writings encompass a wide diversity of topics including acculturation long-term fieldwork peasant economies pottery making public health social structure symbolic systems technological change theories of illness and wellness humoral medicine in Latin America and worldview.
