The second essay is an English translation of Gerard Meerman's Origines Typographicase in which the Dutch collector argues that the first printing was done by Laurentius in Harleim improved upon by Gutenberg and then Schoeffer in Mainz. Both essays are accompanied by intelligent commentary by the printers in addition to appendices on early Greek Hebrew and polyglot books. Bigmore and Wyman state "The book although it has been robbed of its authority by modern researchers at the time of its publication brought in great praise to its compilers the 'learned printers' of the age" p. 75. An important book delving into the history of printing in Europe that was reprinted several times in the 18th century. This copy of the first edition is from the library of American collector Albert A. Howard with his small monograph plate on the rear pastedown.

200785999Leiden The Netherlands: Brill 2007. Presumed First Edition First printing. Hardcover. Very good. xii. 2 526 pages. Illustrations. Plates. Carian Glossary. Appendices. Abbreviations and Bibliography. Carian Alphabet. Carian signs in coin legends. Index. This is Volume 86 of the Handbook of Oriental Studies Section One The Near and Middle East. This handbook presents a complete and updated view of our current knowledge about Carian one of the Indo-European languages spoken in ancient Anatolia. This handbook provides a complete and updated view of our current knowledge about Carian one of the Indo-European languages spoken in ancient Anatolia. The decipherment of the Carian alphabet has only recently made it possible to analyze Carian inscriptions and to classify the Carian language linguistically. The book covers all major topics of research on Carian: the direct and indirect sources with an edition of the Carian inscriptions following a new classification system the history of the decipherment the Carian alphabet and the phonological morphological lexical and syntactic features of the language. It includes an annotated Carian glossary.<br /> The volume concludes with a special appendix on Carian coins and legends by Koray Konuk that will be of particular interest to specialists in ancient numismatics. The field of Anatolian languages is one of the liveliest branches of Comparative Indo-European Linguistics and needless to say one of the most important. Nowadays it is fairly rare to discover a new Indo-European language but this is exactly what happened in the eighties and early nineties when after some hundred years of vain research since the pioneering paper of Archibald Henry Sayce. Three scholars John D. Ray Diether Schürr and Ignacio J. Adiego managed to decipher the Carian script and to recognize Carian language as an Anatolian Indo-European language. Though our knowledge about Carian has remained and still remains very limited - on the one hand because of brevity of most of the inscriptions and on the other hand because of the impenetrable texts of the longer ones - the results of the last one and a half decade have reached the point when Carian research grew out of its infancy. Thus it seemed appropriate to summarize our knowledge of this language in a handbook available for a wider audience and for the purposes of scientific education too. This volume written by I. J. Adiego one of the decipherers who publishes extensively on Carian intends to fill this purpose. Brill hardcover

1907134985Letchworth Herts: Garden City Press 1907. First edition of Constance Smedley's rare feminist tract published under the pseudonym X and with an appendix by Ethel Snowden. Octavo original cloth morocco spine label lettered in gilt patterned endpapers. Appendix by Ethel Snowden. In good condition. Stamps throughout including to the front and rear panels and top edge. Bookplates to the pastedown. The mid-19th century women’s suffrage movement was broad made up of women and men with a wide range of views. In terms of diversity the greatest achievement of the twentieth-century woman suffrage movement was its extremely broad class base. One major division especially in Britain was between suffragists who sought to create change constitutionally and suffragettes led by English political activist Emmeline Pankhurst who in 1903 formed the more militant Women's Social and Political Union. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott were the first two women in America to organize the women's rights convention in July 1848. Susan B. Anthony later joined the movement and helped form the National Woman's Suffrage Association NWSA in May of 1869. Their goal was to change the 15th Amendment because it did not mention nor include women which is why the NWSA protested against it. Most major Western powers extended voting rights to women in the interwar period including Canada 1917 Britain and Germany 1918 Austria the Netherlands 1919 and the United States 1920. Author illustrator and campaigner for women's rights Constance Smedley published this feminist tract Woman: A Few Shrieks under the pseudonym ‘X’ in 1907 with an appendix by radical English suffragette Ethel Snowden.
