113795Continental Europe 13th-14th century. . Hebrew manuscript on vellum in old black ink; sheet size: 32 x 21.5 cm mount size: 45 x 35 cm; browning staining creases and marginal tears; mounted.<br /> Fragment from the Writings' Book of Psalms with Masorah containing Psalms 112 to 114. Psalm 113 also known in the Christian Latin liturgy as 'Laudate pueri Dominum' beginning in the King James' version: 'Praise ye the Lord O ye servants of the Lord'. In Judaism it is the first of the six Psalms comprising the Hallel prayer which is recited on 'Rosh Chodesh' the first day of the Hebrew month and on Jewish holidays. In Roman Catholicism it is one of the Psalms included in the Vespers service the evening prayer. It has been set to music often notably by Claudio Monteverdi in his 'Vespro della Beata Vergine' in 1610. In Hebrew the psalm has several famous melodies typical to each community's place of settlement which were passed trough generations in Sephardi Mizrachi and Ashkenazi communities and dating back to the middle ages and possibly prior.<br /><br />It seems that this leaf was used in what is known in Hebrew as 'Gnizat Krichot' the use of the leaves from old books' for binding newer books at a time when bookmaking materials were scarce. Many Jewish books that were confiscated by the Catholic Church during the Inquisition were also repurposed as binding material.<br /> [Continental Europe], [13th-14th century]. hardcover

3731940<p>Boston: Pinkham Press 1917–1918. 22 x 14 inches printed on cardstock. Illustrated. Lightly soiled; near fine.</p> <p>“Our Fathers are Fighting in France.†A rare and unrecorded first World War photo-illustrated broadside documenting a little-known display of Franco-American friendship. </p> <p>Across America various patriotic societies often organized by women raised funds and sent baby clothes and necessities to France. These funds went to help babies orphaned by the War or to help French mothers with children whose fathers were fighting with the American solders. As one American soldier described it: “We will say for instance that this is Baby No. 4000. She wears wooden-soled shoes and half-length woolen stockings and a blue calico dress and her mother does the washing for the Sammies who are billeted out in the barn with Toto….†“Right in Touch with the Babies†in Life Magazine 1918.</p> <p>Here at the French Baby Fund Festival Exhibition the Boston community lent a benevolent hand and declared “May Day†to be “Baby Day†as part of a three day festival at Liberty Cottage Boston Common. The raised funds were likely funneled to the Fraternité Franco-Américaine.</p> <p>The broadside is printed with the colors of France and all of its text is printed in a pale lavender.</p> unknown
18855333Edinburgh: N.P. 1885. First edition. A lovely album sized 28cm x 37cm. Most of the albumen photographs are sized 21cm x 27cm. Sadly the album has no ownership details but the first photograph is of a British ship This is HMS Malabar a Euphrates-class troopship which appears in several of the photographs so we assume that our traveller was aboard this vessel. Next is a fabulous photograph of what seems to be a theatre troupe perhaps for a fancy dress event on the cruiser as the outfits seem to bear little connection to each other. Sadly there is nothing to identify the participants. Then follows a large photograph of Aden in the Yemen and one of the Suez Canal from Suez itself. The following three photographs are of Port Said at the other end of the canal. Then follow Sixteen photographs of Cairo and district including the pyramids mosques and including several photographs by Félix Bonfils and H Arnoux. Two of the photographs have a small area of loss where the photos have stuck together in the album but with fairly minor loss. Included in these are a lovely photographs of date sellers and a praying man both studio photographs by Zangaki Brothers Janos and Adelphoi and a group of camels about to set off. We return to the Suez canal for the next photograph where the Malabar is photographed by the Zangaki brothers. This image was lately used in the Larousse dictionary with two more photgraphs of the Malabar on the canal. Photographed by the Zangaki brothers. These 26 photographs make up the "Middle Eastern" portion of the album. The next photograph is of the harbour at Malta and there are a total of nine large photographs of Malta. As an interlude is a curious photograph of a cartoon / caricature of a boat being pulled and labelled "The Nile 1884-5." Next we find a lovely photograph of the Rock of Gibraltar from the Spanish coast and two further photographs of Gibraltar landmarks. The next stop on our journey is Norway where there are seven photographs of Christiania Oslo. There is a final Norwegian photograph which is a hand coloured photograph of young women in traditional Norwegian costume. Finally the traveller returns to the United Kingdom and arrives at the Forth Bridge and Edinburgh with two beautiful large sized photographs. Finally are seven smaller but still very respectable albumen photographs of Edinburgh landmarks. These each are 13cm x 21cm. So in total we offer an album of 50 pages containing a total of 56 albumen photographs 49 large format and seven slightly smaller. . Première édition. Un bel album au format 28 cm x 37 cm. La plupart des photographies sur papier albuminé mesurent 21 cm x 27 cm. Malheureusement l'album ne comporte aucune indication sur son propriétaire mais la première photographie représente un navire britannique le HMS Malabar un navire de transport de troupes de classe Euphrates qui apparaît sur plusieurs photos. Nous supposons donc que notre voyageur se trouvait à bord de ce navire. Vient ensuite une fabuleuse photographie de ce qui semble être une troupe de théâtre peut-être pour un bal costumé organisé sur le croiseur car les tenues semblent n'avoir que peu de rapport les unes avec les autres. Malheureusement rien ne permet d'identifier les participants. Suit ensuite une grande photographie d'Aden au Yémen puis une autre du canal de Suez prise depuis Suez même. Les trois photographies suivantes représentent Port-Saïd à l'autre extrémité du canal. Viennent ensuite seize photographies du Caire et de ses environs notamment les pyramides et les mosquées dont plusieurs prises par Félix Bonfils et H. Arnoux. Deux des photographies présentent une petite zone endommagée où les photos se sont collées dans l'album mais les dégâts sont relativement mineurs. Parmi celles-ci on trouve de jolies photos de vendeurs de dattes et d'un homme en prière toutes deux prises en studio par les frères Zangaki Janos et Adelphoi et d'un groupe de chameaux sur le point de partir. Nous retournons au canal de Suez pour la photo suivante où le Malabar est photographié par les frères Zangaki. Cette image a récemment été utilisée dans le dictionnaire Larousse avec deux autres photos du Malabar sur le canal. Photographié par les frères Zangaki. Ces 26 photographies constituent la partie "Moyen-Orient" de l'album. La photographie suivante représente le port de Malte et il y a au total neuf grandes photographies de Malte. En guise d'intermède on trouve une curieuse photographie d'un dessin animé / caricature d'un bateau tiré intitulée "Le Nil 1884-5". Nous trouvons ensuite une jolie photographie du rocher de Gibraltar depuis la côte espagnole et deux autres photographies de monuments de Gibraltar. La prochaine étape de notre voyage est la Norvège où se trouvent sept photographies de Christiania Oslo. La dernière photographie norvégienne est une photographie colorée à la main représentant des jeunes femmes en costume traditionnel norvégien. Enfin le voyageur revient au Royaume-Uni et arrive au pont du Forth et à Édimbourg avec deux magnifiques photographies grand format. Pour finir sept photographies albumines plus petites mais tout de même très respectables représentent des monuments d'Édimbourg. Elles mesurent chacune 13 cm x 21 cm. Au total nous proposons donc un album de 50 pages contenant 56 photographies albumines 49 grand format et sept légèrement plus petites. N.P. unknown

L'amour magot is a fable about the dangers of romantic love in an inexperienced young heroine. The 'lettres infernales' are written by inhabintants of hell. One letter is written from a bookseller addressed to his colleagues on earth in which he discusses hell's booktrade." OCLC locates in all about 18 copies but doubtless there are more. No one hazards a guess at the authorship. A pencil note in the book states: "Anon see Bulletin du bibliophile 16 série p. 372. Comte d'I.". unknown
