14886123Hardcover. Fine. Tractatus de meditatione cordis Johannis Gerson. Illustrated with 4 xylographic foliated initials the first colored. 8vo. Bound in 19th century vellum. Impressum Venetijs arte et impensis Bernardini de benalijs 1488. Early Edition. Hain 9095; Goff I-17; Bodleian Lib. 15th cent. T-105; BM 15th cent. V p. 372 IA.22318. The Imitatio Christi or Imitation of Christ is often considered the greatest of all Christian manuals of devotion. In the late 15th century there was some dispute as to the authorship of this work. The present edition mistakenly ascribes it to Johannis Gerson a French scholar educator reformer poet and chancellor of the University of Paris. It has however been proven that this work really was written by the German monk Thomas à Kempis. Attributed variously but now definitely ascribed to Thomas à Kempis. Goff. The first edition of Kempis work published in 1473 did not include the Imitatio Christi as it was believed then that Kempis was not the author. The Imitation of Christ also had an important influence on Protestantism as it was one of John Wesley's favorite books. Wesley the founder of the Methodist Church also brought his teachings to Georgia in the early part of the 18th century; so Kempis work has important ramifications for the development of American Protestantism. A sound copy with good margins. The contents collate complete. There is a very tiny hole in the upper right corner of the title page that has been expertly repaired. A few marginal notations in a miniscule early hand. Collectors small bookplate on the verso of the front endpaper. A very nice and attractive copy. hardcover

Very Good in Dustjacket. 9780271081182. 21 b&w illustrations. 2 maps. 6 x 9. 296 pages. hardcover. keywords: Latin America History. DESCRIPTION - This book makes a strong contribution to transgender studies historical scholarship and it supplies the best case study of the complexities of colonial gender in the Americas since the fabled tale of the Lieutenant Nun Antonio n�e Catalina de Erauso. �Susan Stryker author of Transgender History. In 1803 in the colonial South American city of La Plata Do�a Martina Vilvado y Balverde presented herself to church and crown officials to denounce her husband of more than four years Don Antonio Yta as a woman in disguise Forced to submit to a medical inspection that revealed a woman�s body Don Antonio confessed to having been Mar�a Yta while continuing to assert his maleness and to having a functional member that he claimed appeared when necessary. Passing to Am�rica is at once a historical biography and an in-depth examination of the sex/gender complex in an era before gender had been divorced from sex . The book presents readers with the original court docket including Don Antonio�s extended confession in which he tells his life story and the equally extraordinary biographical sketch offered by Felipa Yba�ez of her son Mar�a both in English translation and the original Spanish. Thomas A Abercrombie�s analysis not only grapples with how to understand the sex/gender system within the Spanish Atlantic empire at the turn of the nineteenth century but also explores what Antonio/Maria and contemporaries can teach us about the complexities of the relationship between sex and gender today. Passing to Am�rica brings to light a previously obscure case of gender transgression and puts Don Antonio�s life into its social and historical context in order to explore the meaning of trans identity in Spain and its American colonies. This accessible and intriguing study provides new insight into historical and contemporary gender construction that will interest students and scholars of gender studies and colonial Spanish literature and history. inventory #48070 hardcover
