196724015New York: Carp & Whitefish 1967. First edition. Loose Sheets. Very Good. Loose cards in envelope. The scarce second "book" by Marshall. Published by Irving Rosenthal at his Carp & Whitefish press. Each card 14 has illustrations by William Heine on one side and text by Marshall on the verso. One of the cards is folded to form a small booklet. The cards reside in a decorated envelope with a cloth string hanging from it. The cards measure 3 3/8" wide x 6 1/4" tall. Cards are in near fine condition. The envelope is a bit soiled and worn. PLEASE NOTE: This copy contains two copies of "A Snort or Rain Broom and lacks the card entitled "The Fool". Sold in as -in condition. Marshall circulated among many different poet groups of the 60's from the Beats to the Black Mountain crew and beyond and never quite settled in any one group. He was anthologized in Don Allen's New American Poetry and later appeared in many small press journals such as Measure Yugen and the Black Mountain Review. No indication of a print run but it is safe to say that not many saw the light of day. Eleven copies held in institutional hands but the book seldom comes to light in the secondary market.

19231344Heine Heinrich. 1799-1856. <b>Der Rabbi von Bacherach</b> mit Originallithographien von Max Liebermann. Berlin: Im Prophlaen Verlag 1923. #279 of 400 with signed frontispiece and limitation page by Liebermann and 17 full or partial page lithographs in black. The first 100 were printed on Japan Vellum. <br /><br />Folio. Publisher's half-morocco with title in gold with yellow board sides bearing a lithograph on the upper cover. Printed on laid paper. Original open slipcase with paper label joints split. 58p. Fine copy with a touch of wear to spine ends. <b>The Rabbi of Bacharach</b> set in the middle ages is Heine's unfinished novel that describes the ordeal of Rabbi Abraham and his wife in the small town of Bacharach Germany . <br /><br />Gentiles come to the Passover Seder in order to secretly plant a body of a Christian child. They will accuse the Rabbi of ritual murder. Then when he is taken away they will rob his home. The rabbi and his "schönne" beautiful Sarah manage to leave their home during an interval in the seder and run to the river docks. They are then transported for a fee down the Mainz to Frankfurt where they enter into the Jewish quarter without incident. In that quarter life is fully described with all its variety and color. <br /><br /> This unfinished story remains popular because it pictures life in the medieval Jewish community with detailed description of worship customs and pecking orders as well as dress manners and a variety of activities within the Jewish quarter. Liebermann's realistic sketchbook style depicts scenes with a charcoal drawing like simplicity. The stark flat depiction creates an atmosphere of dark foreboding. <br /><br />The 19th century poet Emma Lazarus wrote a biographical sketch of Heine that includes commentary on The Rabbi of Bacharach: "During the period of his earnest labors for Judaism Heine had buried himself with fervid zeal in the lore of his race and had conceived the idea of a prose-legend the Rabbi of Bacharach illustrating the persecutions of his people during the middle ages. Heine one of the most subjective of poets treats this theme in a purely objective manner. He does not allow himself a word of comment much less of condemnation concerning the outrages he depicts. He paints the scene as an artist not as the passionate fellow-sufferer and avenger that he is. But what subtle eloquence lurks in that restrained cry of horror and indignation which never breaks forth and yet which we feel through every line gathering itself up like thunder on the horizon for a terrific outbreak at the end!" <br /><br />Refer: Lazarus Emma 1849-1887 From the Biographical Sketch of the life of Heinrich Heine reprinted in The Rabbi of Bacharach by Heinrich Heine.
