184928070New York: Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. 1849. first Edition. Very Good. first Edition. 90 x 63 cm. Engraved trade-card on white glossy coated stock. Surface wear to lettering. Penciled on rear is the following: "May it be preserved through life Presented as a token of remembrance to Josephine Tyler by her friend Aidolaid H. Thimble July 26th 1849 by me. J Tyler." Erasmus A. Kutz Sr. was a New York City instrument maker. Born in England in 1778 he came to America after 1812. He is first listed in the New York City directories in 1818-1820 as a rule maker at 343 Water St. In 1842-1850 he is listed as a nautical and mathematical instrument maker at 180 Water h Newark we think this is the same as Burling Slip & Water. By 1850 the New Jersey census notes the 72 year old Kutz Sr. with no occupation. His son Erasmus A. Kutz Jr. was first listed in the New York City directories from 1839-40 as a rule maker at 2 Stanton from 1850-51 as an instrument maker at 117 Madison and in 1856 as an instrument maker at 91 Monroe.<br/><br/>This trade card describes Erasmus A. Kutz as "Manufacturer & Importer of Mathematical Instruments Corner of Burling Slip & Water St New York." The card is printed on glossy stock with the note "Kelham Sc Fenchurch St. London" lower right indicating it was printed in London. While the trade card shows a multitude of instruments around the border instruments signed by either Kutz are rare - Webster notes one example Smart adds six additional items. The border shows not only mathematical instruments but nautical instruments charts & pilots sextants and octants confirming that this is Kutz Sr.<br/><br/>Trade cards by American scientific instrument manufacturers from this period are rare in our experience. We are aware of one other example of this trade card on blue paper sold with a letterhead dated 1846.<br/><br/>For more information see Charles E. Smart "The Makers of Surveying Instruments in America since 1700" Vol 1 pp 99-100 and the Webster Scientific Instrument Database Online. Nothing in OCLC by this maker/importer.

Illustrated with 12 engraved portraits. 8 373; 2 448 pp. 8vo. Later edition of this famous collection of humanist satirical letters illustrated with 12 full-page portraits of prominent humanists. A note in OCLC comments on the long running authorship debate: "Authorship of the Epistolae formerly attributed to Reuchlin Erasmus Hutten and others. More recent researches have made it almost certain that Crotus Rubeanus and Ulrich von Hutten were the main contributors. To Crotus are credited the first 41 letters: to Hutten the 7 letters added later to the original series and most of the 62 letters of the second series with the possible co-operation of a third person Hermann von dem Busche. The authorship of the rest remains doubtful J.A. Raspe unknown books

15213319Mainz:: Johann Schöffer 1521. ONE OF 9 PRINTINGS all in 1521. Place and printer from VD16. Quarto:. 18.5 x 14 cm. 8 pp. Collation: AA4 Bound in modern wrappers. . A good copy with a light dampstain to the upper corner. Occ. light soiling. With a fine woodcut title page border. A German translation of Erasmus’ annotation on Mathew 11:29 taken from his “In Novum Testamentum annotationes†in which Erasmus differentiates between the divine order and human positive law. He laments that people ignore the commands of God and follow human law instead: ‘Christ’s law is inviting and easy but it becomes onerous and difficult through the addition of human prescriptions and dogmas.’ The verses were often used in Protestant propaganda in the early years of the Reformation hence the need for a vernacular version of Erasmus’ text.
