151948641Sentinel Butte: 1915-1916. 1915-1916. NORTH DAKOTA. Eighty-one black and white photographs most sized 4 1/2" x 2 3/4" and glued directly to pages of the album. Also includes one postcard also mounted directly to the page. It appears that several of the photographs have writing on the back. Also it does not seem that it would be too difficult to removed the photos to see exactly what is written. Gently lifting the edges of the first photograph in the album I can see "Cook for the G.H. Triangle outfit." Below the statement is a hand-drawing of the ranch's brand. Only a couple of the photos are labeled on the face of the photograph but the album for the most part involves the ranching life at the turn of the 19th century in North Dakota. The album was most likely compiled by an eastern gentleman by the name of Fred who traveled to Sentinel Butte in 1915. One of the photos states he arrived at the Sentinel Butte's train station on March 9 1915. Many of the photos are of cowboys wearing "woolies" leather cuffs carrying rifles shooting a cow saddles with lariats the ranch bugler a cowboy with a Navajo Indian blanket around him holding a rifle the train station at Sentinel Butte feeding a calf cowboys holding cattle on free range steam thresher being pulled by horses a large group of mounted cowboys watching some sort of competitions and several scenes of a quarry. Another photo shows a cowboy wearing wrist cuffs and caring a gun and holding coyote pelts while still another shows two cowboys unloading grain from a buckboard. There is a long range photo showing the ranch house the silo windmill and barns and another labeled "The First Harvest in Golden Valley N.D. - Sentinel Butte." The post card is labeled Dedication of St. Joseph's Hospital Dickenson N.D. March 31 1912 and then written over the card is "This is where Fred was when he had Typhoid Fever while out West in 1916." In a photo showing the main street of Sentinel Butte is the Blazed Trail Store with several cowboys on horses in front of it along with a lone gas pump. It is scarce to find North Dakota ranching albums featuring the actual day to day operations of a cattle ranch. Founded in 1902 along the transcontinental rail line of the Northern Pacific Railway the town in the 2010 census only had 56 residents. Its name comes from the prominent butte three miles to the south which had been named in honor of two Arikara sentinels killed nearby in 1864 by the Sioux. A rather remarkable cowboy photo album giving a sense of how desperate ranching was and still is in the western part of North Dakota. Most photos having very good contrast. 1915-1916. hardcover
151945859N.P.: 1915-1948. 1915-1948. 5 1/4" x 8 3/4" x 2" in limp faux black calf post-binder with title PHOTOGRAPHS stamped in gilt on front cover sewn at gutter margin with black silk braid. 100 pp on thick black paper. 178 silver gelatin and silver print photographs sized 1 1/2" x 2" up to 4 1/2" x 6 1/2" all with identifying text below in white ink. A well-documented photo album recording the automobile travels of a young German-American woman and her beaus through the West and Midwest from before World War I through the Roaring 20s the Great Depression and post-World War II. The album carefully documents the friends family and places visited as well as the vehicles. The earliest automobile trip involves a 1923 Ford Model T 2-door given to our chronicler by Mac McGuire who also generously presents a trotting racehorse with several photos showing the car scenes in and around Illinois Illinois horse tracks as well as Mac himself. The 1925 Buick 2-door coupe experiences a much wider group of excursions including stops and views through Telluride Colorado with views of the town street scenes the mines as well as the “Gang” at the Hotel Telluride including the Chinese-American Cook. The album also shows views of the Painted Desert the compiler in front of the plane in Rock Springs Wyoming where she takes her first plane ride as well as sitting in the car in front of the US Airmail Service Hangar. In addition there are views of the auto trek to Yellowstone the dams along the way feeding the bears and even the Buick driving through the heavy brush. She apparently owns a 1927 Auburn 8-95 Coupe afterwards and visits include Petaluma California Santa Barbara and Pocatello Idaho with a view of the car and a Native American. The compiler consistently refers to herself as me my and mine and makes references to visiting relatives in 1948 after the War in Germany as well as a Sonnichsen relative released from Russian POW camp in 1948 but no indication of her name. Minor rubbing and edgewear along with minor wear to some of the leaves. A very good exemplar with all the photos retaining bright strong contrast. [1915-1948]. unknown

Primera y única edición de gran rareza de este libro publicado anónimo que ataca la astrologÃa judiciaria aquella que con sus predicciones se pueden declarar los efectos en las personas según la posición de los astros. Al tiempo que defiende la <em>astrologÃa natural</em> aquella que predice los fenómenos naturales según los movimientos del sol la luna y las estrellas denuncia el uso de la <em>astrologÃa judiciaria</em> para elegir el momento de las acciones como totalmente falsa y rechaza que la acción humana esté sujeta a la determinación de las estrellas debido a la existencia de la libre voluntad. No puede sacarse por ninguna parte de la obra ni el nombre del autor italiano ni el del traductor castellano si bien está generalmente admitido que el autor es Girolamo Savonarola. Nicolás Antonio menciona una obra de Antonio de Beja titulada <em>Tratado de astrologÃa judiciaria</em>. Buen ejemplar de este atractivo gótico castellano en su estado original.

15229527Rome: Marcello Silber. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1522. Leather. Very scarce post-incunable edition of the famous marvels of the City of Rome bound as is common with a work on the indulgences of the churches of Rome. With 8 full page woodcuts papal arms and large initial. In two parts: 55 of 56 8 ff. A8-g8 missing a1 plus the 8 unnumbered leaves of the Mirabilia without signatures or catch phrases. Printing information on the Indulgentiae on g8 lacks title with image of wolf feeding the twins. Leaves have old hand-inked page numbers continuous through both parts. Small marks and occasional light stainsfirst few leaves have damp mark at bottom edge first leaf has marginal losses at bottom and stronger marks old neat ink notation at top of leaf date of 1522 written in top of leaf has papal seal of Hadrian VI 1522-1523. The Mirabilia has no title colophon nor illustration it is 22/23 lines with the only woodcut being the small first initial. In renewed leather boards with a new handsome spine with 5 raised bands and gilt. Renewed endpapers. Handsomely printed in Gothic type with 8 magnificent full page woodcuts plus the insignia on a2. The lines on the legendary Pope Joan have been neatly crossed out. The Mirabilia Romae is a rare text one of the first printed guide books to the marvels of the Eternal City. The tradition of the Mirabilia started in the medieval period as a guide for the use of Pilgrims combining Christian beliefs and the mythology and history of Rome. "Unhampered by any very accurate knowledge of the historical continuity of the city the unknown author has described the monuments of Rome displaying a considerable amount of inventive faculty" according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. The printer of this work is Marcello Silber who ran the family establishment in Rome until 1527. His father Eucharius Silber had printed a number of earlier editions of the Mirabilia including a 1491 incunable edition. This work with its wonderful woodcut illustrations is scarce in any edition. The Indulgentie conforms to G-250 of Rossetti's Rome I with 24 lines. We have not been able to identify which Mirabilia Rome Urbis this is: although the printing looks like Silber the paper is not the same as the Indulgentiae and as far as we can tell it does not conform to any of the Mirabilia in OCLC Rossetti Sander nor USTC. A very attractive copy inside and out. Provenance: the Joseph Mendham collection. ; Woodcut; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 55 8 pages . Marcello Silber hardcover
15102973Venice 1510. 8vo. in fours. Collation: A-Q4 COMPLETE. 64 ff. some signatures written in contemporary MS several erroneously neat modern foliation in pencil. Paper size: 155 x 105. Watermarks: Northern Italy ca. 1480-1520 see below. Bound in late 18th century Italian sprinkled ochre boards upper cover with title in MS. Text in Italian and with the titles of several poems in Latin. Several types of Italian humanistic literae cursivae all apparently by the same person see images below numerous corrections throughout. Fascinating Unknown Venetian Manuscript of Unpublished Sonnets and Love Letters ca. 1510.<br/><br/>An important discovery. Unknown manuscripts of unpublished Italian poetry written in Venice during the age of Aldus Manutius are rare in private ownership. The present manuscript contains 100 poetical compositions sic and merits considerable scholarly inquiry: certain sonnets and poems were extensively revised showing authorial development; the handwriting is perfectly clear in some instances modeled after contemporary Italian writing masters; and finally the codex is preserved in remarkably fresh condition and is perfectly suitable for exhibition and intensive study. <br/><br/>The manuscript consists mainly of sonnets in the style of Petrarch several capitoli and strambotti and includes many revisions variants and even cancellations to which two intriguing love letters were added. The name of the author is unknown but his identity may yet be discovered as he left a number of intriguing clues in the text the most obvious one being the family name Colonna famous in Venice and Rome and the names of several of his muses. <br/><br/>Certain sonnets exhibit handwriting reminiscent of Giovanni Antonio Tagliente ca. 1460s - ca. 1528 who worked for the Venetian Chancery and whose "Lo presente libro" Venice 1524 continues to inspire modern-day calligraphers and typographers. We may also reference the work of writing master Ludovico Vicentino degli Arrighi 1475-1527 who seems to have started his career in Venice before becoming a Papal scribe and type designer. <br/><br/>That the MS was written over a long period in some instances interpolated on formerly blank leaves is attested by the changes in handwriting and ink. To illustrate the development of the codex itself we propose an artificial division of four sections: <br/><br/>¶ Section A contains 42 sonnets written in the litera cursiva styles A and B. The neat humanistic handwriting is comparable with that used by contemporary Venetian scribes. If the text had been copied from previous drafts it is clear that the author remained unsatisfied as there are a number of substantive revisions in the text. In the upper margin of eleven sonnets were written the title of the poem - in Latin - at some point in the life of the MS. Two sonnets in this section were cancelled by the author. ¶ Section B contains 32 poems written in the litera cursiva styles C-G. These were presumably written in the same period except for some interpolated sonnets that were written slightly afterwards. ¶ Section C contains 16 poems one of which bears the date 27 Ianuarij 1510 fol. 46v. This section surely contains poems written in a different period including two sonnets fol. 49r-v that were written in the humanistic litera cursiva style A which begins the MS. ¶ Section D contains two Love Letters plus an Addenda of 10 "new" poems and capitoli hastily written. <br/><br/>That the author may have had thoughts on publishing his work is suggested by the "printer's signatures" that were written by him in ink in the lower margins of the first 16 leaves. If such a book was ever printed it has not been located; indeed not even a single poem has been traced see below for a complete Index Poematum. <br/><br/>The fact that the author never signed his work may be due to the private and very personal contents of this Canzoniere. The work was probably begun by the author as a young man and for years it served as a vehicle of consolation for unrequited love. <br/><br/>Faustina Helena Colonna Laura Arianna<br/><br/>In the first sonnet Stanch'ormai dal cacciar senza rispetto fol. 1r the author claims to have met "three beautiful nymphs" during a break from hunting. A possible connection to the Colonna family is first suggested in Sonnet II A una colonna d'alabastro fina 1v in which the poet declares his eternal lover for Faustina "ni altra Dea adorerò ch'a Faustina." The word colonna is found in other compositions throughout the Canzoniere suggesting that at least one of the author's muses was a member of the famous Colonna family. Sonnet XVIII Ardo piango sospiro et a tutt'hore 9v ends with the verse chiedendo sempre a un cor di marmo a una colonna viva "always begging a marble heart a living column" again suggesting by means of a well-crafted literary image the Colonna family. Most importantly the actual name "Helena Colonna" appears as the caption heading to Sonnet LXXXII Da una marmorina Alta colonna 48v. Lady Colonna may be referenced in the first Love Letter 53v in which the author describes her as alta colonna di mia vita "high column of my life". No longer is the Colonna surname obscured behind imagery. <br/><br/>The promise of endless love to Faustina was not kept unless the author cleverly utilized more than one name for the same woman a not-uncommon practice in this particular genre. Two other names appear herein namely Laura and Arianna. That the author may have had changes of heart might be due to the fact that he seems to have written the poems over an extended period of time see images of the handwriting development A-G and is therefore a record of failed love years in the making. The sonnets reflect perpetual desperate longing almost always to the point of death. How could it be otherwise<br/><br/>The Philosopher and His "Poetessa" Muse<br/><br/>In Sonnet LI I' solea ben la penna et l'intelletto 28v the author states quite clearly that the object of his desire was also a poet declaring that a mortal blow has pierced his side because he has lost the paper the ink and each amorous rhyme of his Lady's verse persi la carta l'inchiostro e ogni amoroso detto. The author claims that he is much better at writing about philosophy:<br/><br/>Smaritha quella strada. altro sentiero<br/>Hora mi è scorta mi governa et regge<br/>Qual va fina Avicenna e agli aphorismi<br/>Ove Signor si vostre rime egregge<br/>Non han da me risposta: a dirvi 'l vero<br/>Mi torna meglio scriver Syllogismi.<br/><br/>"The road is lost. A different path is now taking me to Avicenna the philosopher and to Aphorisms where Lady your excellent rhymes have no answer; to tell you the truth I'm better in writing Syllogisms." Thus the identity of the author a "reluctant poet" may be found among contemporary Venetian philosophers. <br/><br/>Index Poematum<br/><br/>Section A litera cursiva styles A and B:<br/><br/>I.

Grenade Granada 1569 21.50 x 30.50 cm relié ILLUMINATED MANUSCRIPT ANONYMOUS Regla y Constitutiones de la Cofradia del Sanctissimo Sacramento de la Yglesia de San Christoval de Granada Autograph manuscript with three miniatures no publisher Granada 1569 folio 21.5 x 30.5 cm upper margin: 35 mm bottom margin: 50 mm interior margin: 30 mm exterior margin: 40 mm 31 ff. 16th-century full calf gilt Manuscript on vellum comprising 31 leaves: 50 pages of text ruled and lined and 3 full-page miniatures in colours heightened in gold. The four final leaves were numbered and partly ruled but left empty. Contemporary manuscript ex-libris on front endpaper. In Spanish throughout written in Caroline minuscule on 24 lines the text is very readable and very regular. The manuscript begins with a three-page summary covering the 24 chapters that comprise the Regla y constitutiones de la cofradia del Sanctissimo sacramento de la yglesia de San Christoval de Granada. One illuminated capital in red and blue indents and pagination in red small sketch in black ink to the inner margin. The verso of the final page of the summary has been ruled and lined in red but left blank. There follow the three full-page miniatures. The first shows a Communion scene on the recto of one leaf the second the Tree of Jesse verso of the same leaf and the third Saint Christopher bearing the baby Jesus recto of the following leaf. The verso of the miniature bears a short manuscript text explaining that these rules are those of the confraternity and brotherhood of the Holy Sacrament established in the Church of Saint Christopher of Granada on the 1st of May 1568. This is followed by the prohemio a prologue of two and a half pages in which the confraternity takes an oath; this starts with an imposing illuminated capital in red and blue. The chapters then follow on directly each with a tidy initial. The important terms are heightened in red allowing for quick navigation in the text. A long manuscript annotation to the outer margin of leaf 24. The aforementioned rules take up 23 ruled leaves ruled and lined in red. Leaf 27 bears two manuscript privileges. We have not been able to read the signature on the first dated May 1569 though quite elaborate. The second later one May 1596 is signed by Justino Antolinez de Burgos 1557-1637 at the time the Chaplain Royal charged with the inspection of ecclesiastical lodges. Long contemporary manuscript note to reverse of leaf 24. Contemporary light-brown calf spine in five compartments with gilt fillets and fleurons gilt fillet frame to boards small gilt fleurons to corner and a larger gilt fleuron to centre of covers. One clasp preserved. A few very skilful repairs and regilding practically invisible. This manuscript has three spectacular full-page miniatures in gouache heightened in gold. The first shows the Holy Communion with Christ himself establishing the Eucharist with the words This is my body this is my blood. The Apostles and Jesus with a halo blessing them are seated around a table set with bread and fish. This motif became a major theme of Christian art in the Renaissance as this miniature also shows. The second miniature shows the Tree of Jesse which symbolises the genealogy of Christ traced from Jesse Xese shown as an old man reclining. In keeping with the iconographic tradition a tree protrudes from his side the main branches of which bear some of Jesus's ancestors. Here they are: Zachary Jeremiah David an unidentified king and at the pinnacle Mary holding the Christ child within a mandorla. The third miniature presents a scene with Saint Christopher the patron of the Church in Granada to which the Confraternity of the Holy Sacrament was attached with a child on his shoulders as he was commonly represented. The iconography derives from a passage in the Golden Legend in which St Christopher helps a small b S. n. hardcover
