0724<p>This illuminated antiphonal leaf from 12th-century Italy likely Tuscany c. 1125–1150 preserves chants for the Feast of Saint Lucy Santa Lucia. Written in Latin in a rounded Carolingian hand the page features neumatic notation on a single red stave a transitional form of medieval musical notation. Rubrics in red uncials guide the singer while blind ruling for sixty lines ensures precise alignment of text and chant.</p><p>The centerpiece is a historiated initial "L" inhabited by a whimsical bird with red wings and yellow tail set against a red-and-blue paneled background. This inventive zoomorphic design is characteristic of Romanesque Italian illumination combining playfulness with liturgical solemnity.</p><p>The text and chant correspond to Lucia virgo quid a me petis a responsory sung at Matins for the Feast of Saint Lucy December 13th. The responsory set in Mode 7 reflects the veneration of Lucy across Italy especially in Tuscany where she was revered as a protector of sight and celebrated as one of the earliest Christian martyrs.</p><p>This fragment not only embodies the artistry of Romanesque illumination but also provides valuable evidence for the transmission of medieval chant and the devotional culture of 12th-century Italy. Its blend of bold script whimsical decoration and precise liturgical function make it a rare survival.</p><p>Provenance:<br />Italy likely Tuscany 12th century<br />Sotheby's London 25 April 1983 lot 11 two other leaves from this dispersed manuscript sold Sotheby's London 19 June 1979 lot 1<br />Private Collection USA</p><p>Literature:<br />Cantus: Database for Latin Ecclesiastical Chant cantusdatabase</p> Illuminated Antiphonal leaf on parchment

1862411009Rome: G. Gentili 1862. Second edition. Binding worn and soiled text a bit foxed and with occasional staining one page loose at end. These were books that clearly saw great use and condition defects are not unexpected. 8vo 7 x 5 inches. 262 pages. 6-page section of woodcut illustrations. Contemporary linen-backed marbled boards. The book contains some 30000 entries each corresponding to a single number attempting to provide methods for divining winning numbers for the Italian state lottery. The section of woodcuts at the center of the volume uses the smorfia system that is still used in Italy today for linking dreams/omens to lottery numbers. The iconography here does not conform exactly to the most broadly established Neapolitan system but is rather a regional variant for the Roman market. The preliminaries provide a history of the lottery in Italy an account of the regulation and reestablishment in Rome and an introduction to the alphabetical "dream book" list events objects characters etc. A reader could look up a word and the index would tell them what to play in the lottery.

1612ST13801London: printed by Thomas. Snodham. for Iohn Stepneth and are to be sold at his shop at the west-end of Paules Church 1612. FIRST EDITION. 205 x 155 mm. 8 x 6". 18 p.l. 611 1 pp. 601-08 misnumbered 561-68 8 leaves. <br/> New unlettered limp vellum by Courtland Benson in imitation of the original binding. STC 1896; ESTC S124314. ◆Half a dozen gatherings a little browned occasional mild foxing or small rust spots additional trivial imperfections otherwise an excellent copy clean and very fresh in a pleasing new binding.<br/> <br/> This conversation manual by an Italian teacher based in London offers an intriguing glimpse into the lives and concerns of the wealthier classes in 17th century Europe. An early effort to teach language through dialogue the book is part cultural history part guide to better health and it is clear evidence of the importance of the study of Italian in Elizabethan and Jacobean England. The seven dialogues cover subjects from health to travel to servants with Italian and English text on facing pages. Many of the dialogues begin with phrases that will be familiar to all beginning language students: greeting others selecting items of clothing asking prices or directions ordering food. As the conversations progress they explore various topics that one might expect to encounter in polite society. An early morning exchange between master and servant evolves into a discussion of the importance of sleep the optimal amount of sleep for good health and the significance of dreams. A dialogue that begins with ordering meals leads to an involved colloquy about the benefits and disadvantages of fasting and abstinence; the virtues and defects of bread butter meat dairy and eggs; diet recommendations for the healthy and the sick; the best diet for each season; and the importance of a walk after dinner. Other dialogues include advice for travellers observations on the political situation and life at court and finally a discussion of that most eternally fascinating topic: love. This work is of continuing interest and value to linguists as it documents the Benevento Italian dialect which is in need of preservation. It's an extraordinarily rare book probably because it was the sort of volume subjected to hard use: in addition to ours we could trace only two copies in ABPC and RBH since 1948. printed by T[homas].
