1838List601Most Latin America 1838. Mostly Latin America 1809 - 1838. Over 150 pieces comprising over 280 pages .5 linear feet. The Massachusetts merchant Captain Eliphalet Smith Jr. 1780-1838 was a merchant trading primarily in Latin America during the Revolutionary Period. Described by the Chilean historian Diego Barros Arana as "an unscrupulous adventurer who saw in the countries struggling for independence nothing more than a field for his speculations" Smith bore witness to many seminal events in the continent's political history. These letters offer first-hand accounts of such events as the Sieges of Cadiz and Montevideo Admiral William Brown's victories in the Argentinian Independence War the Peruvian silver trade Simon Bolivar's arrival in Guayaquil and the battles of Real Felipe Fortress. <br /> <br /> Smith's business correspondence from the period sheds light on the pro-Regency networks active in the Americas during the period as his loyalties - like most merchants - were based on the Spanish Armada's control of trade. The tensions between Smith and the nascent Chilean government came to a head when goods from Smith's ship the Brig Macedonian were seized by Lord Cochrane Vice Admiral of the Chilean Squadron in two separate incidents in 1818 and 1821. The ensuing legal disputes would cast a long shadow over relations between the United States and Chile until the cases were resolved by international tribunal. The collection includes several original documents relating to the episodes including Smith's recollections of the events and several letters to investors describing the confiscated goods. <br /> <br /> Smith's efforts and their tacit support by the U.S. government make him a key figure in early relations between the United States and the new Latin American regimes. In 1822 an agent of the United States State Department acknowledged that "the Brigs Canton and Macedonian were for more than three years constantly violating blockades neutral and belligerent rights and supplying the royalists and flew the Spanish flag." Likewise historian Patricia Marks writes that Smith had business connections with Spanish merchants in Peru and refers to a quote from Viceroy to Peru JoaquÃn de la Pezuela: "Smith and the Macedonian became anathemas to the patriots. San MartÃn is reputed to have said that he did more damage to the cause of liberty than any other man." Historian Joseph Byrne Lockey points out that Smith's actions had greater implications regarding the perception of the United States in revolutionary-era Latin America: "The conduct of Captain Smith supported in so far as it was legal by the government at Washington contributed together with other incidents of a similar sort not a little to the dimming of the earlier impression of the Patriots that the United States would be in the struggle their friend and ally." <br /> <br /> The collection here consists of 153 documents from Smith's estate including letters received by Smith mercantile inventories and holograph copies of letters sent by Smith during the period. Correspondents include Smith's contacts in Latin America and his creditors in the United States. As a collection the documents relay scarce firsthand accounts of several seminal political events and map an extensive network of mercantile contacts and inventories. They are worthy of further research by scholars of the political history of Latin America and Spain and of early United States / Latin American relations as well as scholars of trade between China and Latin America. <br /> <br /> Overall the collection presents an uncommon opportunity to acquire primary source material from Latin America's Revolutionary Period. We find records from the Macedonian and Smith in the Forbes family collection at Harvard as well as some later documents relating to Smith's claims at the University of Virginia Special Collections. We find no publicly held examples of Smith's personal correspondence or papers prior to 1820. A full write-up and inventory is available in our PDF catalog. unknown books

This compact glossed Bible densely and economically printed with no break between the Old and New Testaments is enlivened by hundreds of historiated woodcut initials from woodcut alphabets designed by Guillaume Leroy who also designed the six-part full-page woodcut of the Creation. Mareschal's useful "pocket" Bibles were bestsellers this being the fourth of six octavo editions from his press. They were among the first Bible editions to include a rhyming mnemonic Biblical summary by the minorite friar Franciscus Gothi in which each four-line verse summarizes a Biblical chapter. Occupying here the final two quires and called for in the colophon it is not recorded by Baudrier or Gültlingen. Possibly buyers had the choice of including it or not in their copies. Otherwise the text of Mareschal's octavo Bibles follows that of the Bible printed in Basel in 1509 by Johann Petri and Froben using the text edited by the Dominican Alberto Castellano and supplying for the first time marginal notes citing canon law. The apparatus includes four tables and a glossary of Hebrew names. As in the Petri editions a six-line commendatory poem by Matthias Sambucellus is printed on the title here with the first word of the last line incorrectly given as "Omne" instead of "Omine."The publisher Simon Vincent belonged to Lyon's powerful booksellers' guild the Compagnie des Libraires whose members helped Mareschal during his early years impressed by his skill conscientiousness and sobriety "a rare trait among printers of this period" notes Baudrier qualities which contrasted markedly with those of the printer Michel Topie whose press Mareschal had acquired in 1512 Baudrier 11:383.USTC 145003; Adams B-997; Pettegree & Walsby French Vernacular Books III: 57271.

The first Protestant Bible in Latin edited by Johan Rüdel Rudelius printed in Cologne by Peter Quentel or Quentell and notable for the wood engraved illustrations by Anton Woensam Anton von Worms particularly those at the head of each of the four gospels. Matthew faces an angle who is touching his stylus; a lion is seated beside Mark; a bull with Luke; and an eagle stands beside John.<br/><br/>Quentel was the printer of Tyndale's quarto Cologne English New Testament known from a single surviving fragment in the Grenville Collection where this same illustration to Matthew appears. It is a reasonable inference that each of the four gospels would have carried an illustration. The project which had "'got as far as the letter K' the signature that would have taken the work well into Mark" ODNB was unfinished at the time of Tyndale's flight from Cologne in 1525. Quentel's print shop was raided but sheets of the first gospel translated from the original Greek and printed in English soon began to circulate in England. Tyndale settled in Worms where Schöffer completed an octavo printing of the first complete English New Testament in 1526 a facsimile of the Grenville fragment and its illustration were published in 1871.<br/><br/>The blocks for the illustrations evidently survived the raid on the Quentel's shop and are used here at the head of each of the four gospels.<br/><br/>A notable edition in the history of the printing of the Bible.

It was directed to prepare a map of the Republic with all the scientific accuracy desirable. The region around the town of Puebla southwest of Mexico City was the first effort of the Commission. The surveying was done by astronomical determinations and triangulation. Between 1879 and 1882 the planned nine sheets lithographed in Mexico City were issued at a scale of 1:20000. Elevations are shown by contour lines. For this atlas the sheets were issued as photographs the maps reduced in scale to 1:50000. A photographic edition at the scale of 1:100000 was also issued. Other areas of the country were mapped. The ultimate goal was to produce a map of the country at a scale of 1:100000 in 1100 sheets. At the time the Commission closed shop in 1914 a little over 200 sheets had been completed. This mode of production suggests that a small number of these atlases were produced."

Publicaciones del Archivo General de la Nacion volume XVII XVIII and XIX.<br /><br />There are only meager biographical data about Pablo de la PurÃsima Concepción Beaumont whose work is a major source on Michoacán. Despite its title "Chronicle of the Holy Apostles St Peter and St Paul of Michoacán" Beaumont's work in fact spans a much greater area including much of western Mexico northward to New Mexico and tending toward a general history. It provides details to 1565. Beaumont divided his total work into tow major parts the firs or Aparato intended to be introductory to the second or the Crónica proper. the first seems complete but the second was never finished. The Aparato takes up fully a third of the extant Beaumont work although nominally introductory. It deals with the discovery of America and the conquest of Mexico to the year 1521. It was twice published before appearance of the total work. Far more valuable is the Crónica. It consists of two books and one chapter of book 3. Beaumont drew on a wide variety of sources. He tell us us that he gathered a large quantity of manuscripts from various Franciscan archives as well as listing 30 standard writers in printed sources. He gives full copies of some of his documents of which several have since disappeared. He speaks of obtaining a native painting possibly from which his illustrations came. These paintings show incidents of the first visits of Spaniards to Michoacán there reception by Tarascans labors of the Franciscans coats of arms of principal cities of Michoacán. It is usually through that Beaumont composed his work around 1777. That is the last date in the later copies of the original manuscript. Unfortunately his original manuscript is lost. It was copied in Mexico City around 1792 to for volumes 7-11 of a 32 volume Collection of Memories on New Spain ordered by Viceroy Conde de Revilla Gigedo and compiled by Manuel de la Vega. Three partially complete sets of these Vega Memorias are known; from one or another of them come other recopied manuscript copies as well as the printed versions. Editions of the work have a somewhat unfortunate publishing history. In 1826 Bustamante published an incomplete and useless edition of the Aparato attributing it to Vega who had owned the manuscript Bustamante used. In 1873-74 a five volume edition of both Aparato and Crónica appeared in Mexico; it lacks the Indian drawings and was based on a secondary manuscript copy made b y J F Ramirez that then belonged to Alfredo Chavero. A three volume version was published by the National Archives of Mexico in 1932 based on their copy of the 1792 collection of Memorias; it contains the Indian drawings and an introduction by Rafael Lopez. The text seems slightly corrupt but it may be near the original as Beaumont said his Spanish was defective owing to his Parisian rearing.<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.

1779983821Lucian cianucian Greek Lucianos Latin Lucianus born AD 120 Samosata Commagene Syria now Samsat Tur.—died after 180 Athens Greece<br /><br />Danza Dialogo di Luiano con Annotazioni con annotazioni. <br /><br />In Firenze : nella stamperia di Gaspero Pecchioni 1779. Original edition. 8vo. Old wrappers iv 44 p. Some stains to titlepage. Very good copy. In this dialogue the Cynic Crato who has no in pantomimic dancing or those who go to see it is converted to its appreciation by his friend Lycinus.<br />This is a translation into Italian with notes of Lucian's famous dialogue on pantomime or "tragic dancing" in ancient Greece. In "tragic" dancing a dramatic plot is enacted by a masked and costumed dancer supported by an actor. The dancer's lines are spoken for him by someone else. There is also a chorus and for accompaniment the flute and the syrinx with various instruments of percussion. The work is dedicated to Antonio Muzarelli who was ballet master at the Burgtheater in Vienna at a time when ballet was detested by Emperor Joseph II although the art form was gaining some popularity due to the reforms of Jean-Georges Noverre 29 April 1727 – 19 October 1810 the a French dancer and balletmaster generally considered the creator of ballet d'action. The dialogue was probably written in Antioch in 162–165 a.d. when the Emperor Verus was there in compliment to him because of his interest in pantomime at a time when visual art was held inferior to literary art. This work underscores the legitimacy of dance because Lucian recognizes the intellectual character of dance. He emphasizes that a dancer must be able to express his or her ideas and sentiments through the intelligibility of movement and posture.
