18512011AG1851. London & New York J & F. Tallis 1851. Original steel engraving / Vintage map. Drawn and engraved by John Rapkin. Partly hand-coloured. Plate Size: 33 cm x 25 cm. Sheet Size: 37.6 cm x 27.3 cm. Vintage 19th century map in very good condition. John Tallis 7 November 1817 3 June 1876 was an English cartographic publisher. His company John Tallis and Company published views maps and atlases in London from roughly 1838 to 1851. Tallis set up as a publisher with Frederick Tallis in Cripplegate in 1842; the business moved to Smithfield in 1846 and was dissolved in 1849. From 1851 to 1854 Tallis operated as John Tallis and Company. He started The illustrated news of the world and national portrait gallery of eminent personages in 1858 selling it for £1370 in 1861; it folded in 1863. Wikipedia The most important project John Tallis undertook was the 'Illustrated Atlas' from 1851. The original map we offer here was part of this exceptional Atlas and all the maps it contained are still today considered as the last reminder of an era of lavish map production. Tallis worked the project together with John Rapkin 1815-1876 and it was Rapkin's style and talent that we have to thank for when we marvel at these maps today. What makes these maps so special is the detail of engraved vignettes that surround the map and often show indigenous scenes people in their environment and even more so historical buildings or historical views of towns and cities architecture and landscape. The project of 'The Illustrated Atlas' was designed to be finished just in time for the anxiously awaited "Great Exhibition of the Works of Industry of All Nations" or The Great Exhibition sometimes referred to as the Crystal Palace Exhibition in reference to the temporary structure in which it was held was an international exhibition that took place in Hyde Park London from 1 May to 11 October 1851. It was the first in a series of World's Fairs exhibitions of culture and industry that became popular in the 19th century and it was a much anticipated event. The Great Exhibition was organized by Henry Cole and Prince Albert husband of the reigning monarch Queen Victoria. It was attended by numerous notable figures of the time including Charles Darwin Samuel Colt members of the Orléanist Royal Family and the writers Charlotte Brontë Charles Dickens Lewis Carroll George Eliot and Alfred Tennyson. Music for the opening was under the direction of Sir George Thomas Smart and the continuous music from the exhibited organs for the Queen's procession was "under the superintendence of William Sterndale Bennett".

198759799New York: Curbstone Press 1987. First English Language Edition. First printing. Octavo. Tan cloth hardcover; dustjacket; xviii19-503pp. Inscribed on front flyleaf: "Para la camarada Kendra Alexander y adelante con la lucha solidaria con el pueblo Salvadoreño y Centroamerica" signed by Miguel Mármol dated 1988. Mild bumps to board corners a bit of rippling to cloth on spine still Near Fine a slightly faded but still Near Fine dustwrapper. <br /> <br /> A terrific association copy inscribed by Miguel Mármol to American communist and civil rights activist Kendra Alexander. Mármol 1905-1993 founding father of the Salvadoran Communist Party in 1930 and a leading figure of the Salvadoran worker-revolutionary movement for over five decades told his story over the course of several weeks in 1966 to the Salvadoran communist poet Roque Dalton. In his introduction Dalton who was assassinated in 1973 describes the experience as "one of the greatest satisfactions of my life" and the result was indeed one of the most popular and important works of Latin American revolutionary literature of the decade - Mármol's tumultuous life most of it spent in exile came both to exemplify and inspire the revolutionary movement in El Salvador and Central America.<br /> <br /> Though Miguel Mármol was first published in 1972 and went into numerous subsequent printings in Cuba and the Soviet Union there was no English-language translation until this 1987 edition from the small Latin-American publisher Curbstone. The cloth issue is hard to find and inscribed copies are rare; this a compelling association copy inscribed to the American civil rights leader and Communist Party leader Kendra Alexander 1945-1993 perhaps best-remembered as a close associate of Angela Davis whose Defense Committee she co-chaired during Davis's 1971 conspiracy trial. 59799.

1587ABC_48453Antwerp: Christoffel Plantin 1587. Contemporary elaborately blind-tooled pigskin over bevelled wooden boards sewn on 4 double supports with the corresponding raised bands on the spine the manuscript title in the first compartment and the original manuscript shelf mark label "H.36" of the Monastery of Buxheim in the fifth compartment both boards with an ornamental roll and a roll with the portraits of Salvater sic! Maria S. Bruno and S. Johannes in a panel design two original brass clasps and catches ornamented with a small star leather tabs and six original bookmarkers plaited into a big knot. 8vo. With a woodcut vignette with Peter and Paul by Peeter van der Borcht on the title page 6 full-page woodcuts ca. 112 x 75 mm by Antoon van Leest after Peeter van der Borcht 6 half-page square woodcuts 55 x 55 mm in border one signed by Antoon van Leest one woodcut 90 x 76 mm by Antoon van Leest after Peeter van der Borcht and 2 smaller oval woodcuts. The work is printed in red and black. Plantin edition of the revised Roman Missal following the directives of the Council of Trent first published in Rome in 1570 by order of pope Pius V 1504-1572 and later approved by Clemens VIII 1536-1605 and Urbanus VIII 1568-1644. The work was quite popular as Plantin published a new missal nearly every year from 1571 onwards. All editions were printed in different sizes and in two issues one with woodcut illustrations and one with engravings. The present copy is the octavo edition with woodcut illustrations and comes from the library of the famous Carthusian monastery of Buxheim Maria Saal near Memmingen Bavaria.The monstery of Buxheim was founded in 1402 and dissolved after the secularisation in 1803. The rich library was auctioned in 1883 by Förster and in 1884 by Ludwig Rosenthal in Munich. The Museum of the Charterhouse Buxheim today is actively studying the history of the library and the present location of its books and manuscripts. The present copy is bound in contemporary pigskin which was likely bound for the monastery itself as the rolls depict Saint Bruno who was the founder of the Carthusian order. The Missal is therefore probably bound in a South-German bindery in the surroundings of the monastery.With an ownership annotation on the title page "Cartusiae Buxheim". The binding is somewhat rubbed and soiled. The leaves are lightly browned some of the leaves are slightly stained especially around the leather tabs. Otherwise in good condition.l Belg.

1987H0200245 pages. Thick octavo 9" x 6 3/4" bound in publisher's original wrappers. Colleccion "Estudios Michoacanos" number VIII. First published in 1870. Bishop Clemente de Jesús Munguía 1810-1868 one of the most influential yet least-known ecclesiastical intellectuals of the period. A lawyer by profession Clemente Munguía was first professor and then rector of the Morelia diocesan seminary where he undertook a major reform of the school's curriculum and also composed several textbooks on a variety of subjects including grammar literature rhetoric philosophy theology and law. Appointed Bishop of Michoacán in October 1850 Munguía distinguished himself for his staunch opposition to the state's encroachment on the Church as well as for his insistence on the need for religious intolerance in what he imagined as an "exclusively Catholic" nation. His protests against the 1857 Constitution and the liberal legislation enacted by President Ignacio Comonfort were a key factor in the outbreak of the Civil War of the Reform 1858-1860 and the subsequent French intervention 1862-1867 which resulted in the separation of Church and state and the collapse of Mexican conservatism. Far from the stereotype of a backward and parochial intellectual Munguía was a sophisticated scholar who sought to reconcile Catholicism with the larger currents of thought of the Atlantic Republic of letters. Indeed he believed that the liberal revolution should be countered "with its own weapons" a conviction which first led him to frame the defense of ecclesiastical prerogatives in the language of modern natural law and then to claim for the Church the very power of constitutional interpretation. Although Munguía's ideal of a "Catholic republic" became unfeasible after the liberals' final victory in 1867 his efforts at consolidating ecclesiastical independence paved the way for both the Romanization and the social activism that characterized the Mexican Church during the latter half of the nineteenth century.

TM 796<p>MEDIEVAL ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT IN ITALIAN ON PAPER Northeastern Italy Veneto Venice c. 1474. Dimensions 328-332 x 230 mm. 188 folios missing at least three leaves written in brown ink in an Italian cursiva libraria script EIGHT ILLUMINATED INITIALS of seven lines one-line paraphs in red or blue<i> </i>simple two- to four-line in red or blue initials. BINDING: re-cased using original binding materials of brown half leather over bevelled wooden boards with three double bands remains of four straps present. TEXT: Italian translation of Gregory the Great's <i>Moralia in Job</i> one of the most important and widely copied texts of the Middle Ages. Though forty copies of this translation survive this volume is unusual in its incorporation of Venetian dialectal forms. All other copies are in European institutions and have not been on the market for the last century. PROVENANCE: scribal colophon on f. 190v provides a date for this manuscript's completion and helps localize its production within Italy: "Scripto per mi zuane de zane zoielier condam per simon et chi li lezeranno priegi dio per lo scriptore. MCCCCLXXIIII" Written by me Zuane de Zane jeweler once for Simon and may whoever will read it pray to God for the writer. 1474. There is no Zuane de Zane on record elsewhere as a scribe; the name itself is Venetian and evidence of the manuscript's watermark and decoration also suggest an origin in the region of Veneto and possibly Venice specifically. The manuscript was later acquired by a private European collection. CONDITION: slight tears in the lower margin of f. 25 and upper margin of ff. 37 and 160 from f. 161 to the end there is a slight loss to the upper outer corner<i> </i>slight water staining visible parchment reinforcement present prickings visible.
