1506W2491Basel Switzerland: Johann Petri & Johann Froben 1506. An original leaf from chapter 19 of the Book of Exodus with rubrication in red and blue. Folio 12 inches by 8 5/8 inches. Printed text in Latin. A leaf from a vulgate Bible with glosses commentary and other matter by the 13th century Catholic theologian Nicolaus de Lyra 1270-1349. De Lyra's insistence on a literal rather than allegorical interpretation of the Bible was a major source of influence on Martin Luther and provided theological impetus to the Reformation. This particular leaf includes passages from Exodus 19 as well as de Lyra's commentary on those passages. It is guaranteed to be more than 500 years old. The leaf is in near-fine condition: clean bright and supple with some minor browning limited to the top edge. Original. Single Sheet. Near Fine. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Manuscript.

1587033313<p>London : Holinshed Harrison Jooker et al 1587 A good copy of the Scottish part of Holinshed's Chronicles. First published in 1577 this work was revised and reissued after censorship in 1587. This is the 1587 reissue - said to have been used by Shakespeare in writing Macbeth. This copy is in a recent full calf binding with a panelled design to the boards with gilt titles and date. It has minimal wear. New endpapers and intial and final blanks have been added. Contains: decorative title page dated 1585 with some professioanl repair to the side edge; dedication pp 3-4; Contents list p5; authorship p6; The description of Scotland pp7-23 blank verso; title page - The Historie of Scotland dated 1585; dedication p 27-28; The Historie of Scotland pp 29-464; first table alphabeticall 12 pp; second table alphabeticall 15pp; finis. These two index sections do not cover Scotland - the third and fourth tables are missing together with the Colophon. There are 2 problems with the collation. The leaf with 325/6 is missing and has been replaced with a blank sheet. A fascimile of this leaf is loose in the book. There is considerable mispagination with pp 430-439 - part of the havoc created by censorship of the work at the time. The pagination is: 430-436 tie works 437-432 tie does not work - pp 438/431 should be after 437 and are missing but supplied loose in facsimile - 433-439 tie works. Overall the contents are in very good clean condition with the occasional small stain or mark ink drink at 98/9. However pp 419-424 are in much more fragile condition suggesting that they were added in from another volume. There is a large ink splatter affecting the gutter and some of the text in the lower part on pp 419-424 although all the text is readable. Side edges are browned and fragile in this section and there are some paper repairs on pp 421/2. There is a small burn hole in the text at pp 389/90 and tiny burn holes in the gutter of pp 401/2. Please enquire if you would like to see additional images.</p> Holinshed, Harrison, Jooker et al hardcover
1587033342<p>At London printed in Aldergate Street at the signe of the Starre: John Harrison George Bishop Rafe Newberie Henrie Denham and Thomas Woodcocke 1587 A good copy of the 2nd edition of Holinshed's Chronicles bound in 3 volumes. This edition is particularly known for its association with William Shakespeare who used it for historical background for example in Macbeth. It lacks the extensive woodcuts found in the 1st but has ornate initial capitals and head and tailpieces. This set was rebound in full morocco leather in the 1800's. The bindings have flat spines with gilt titles and volume numbers and gilt lining. The boards have gilt lining around the edges and gilt dentelles on the inner edges. Endpapers are marbled and all volumes have silk bookmarks. The leather is worn on the edges spine joints spine ends and corners but the bindings are currently sound. Vol I has a small closed tear at the top spine end. Vol II has a scuff across the front board. All page edges are gilted. The 2nd edition brings the history up to the date of publication and as such attracted the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth I who had clear views on how her reign and actions should be recorded. The Archbishop of Canterbury was required by the Privy Council in February 1587 to recall the work and reform it. The process of printing large works was very different to that of our digital world and the censorshjp and revision process must have caused chaos at the printers. Sections of the work on Scotland in Vol I and parts of the Chronicles of England are affected and all copies reflect the censorship mess to some extent with odd pagination cancels substitution and gaps in some copies. This set is largely complete lacks title to Chronicles of England and the colophon. Very different thicknesses and colour of the paper suggest where sections have been substituted and there are several instances of mispagination. Contents - Vol I: title and prelims viii; text 250 pp; Historie of England in 8 books; iv; 202 pp; title The Second Volume of Chronicles containing Ireland and Scotland viii; Ireland pp 9-61 blank verso; title Irish Historie xii; 183 pp with blank verso; title - Description of Scotland 2; text pp 3-23 blank verso; title Historie of Scotland blank verso; preface 2pp; text 29-404; Annals of Scotland pp 405-464 ; table alphabeticall First to Fourth 53 pp; Colophon January 1597 1p. Vol II: lacks title - text covers William I to Henry VII- vi; text 1-798. Vol III: text from Henry VIII pp 799 - 1267; Continuation - preface 1268-9 text 1270-1592; third table 58pp; lacks colophon. The contents generally bright clean and sound. There are some minor areas of staining or marking some paper repairs and some mispagination. Please enquire if you would like to see the details on each volume and/or further images.</p> John Harrison, George Bishop, Rafe Newberie, Henrie Denham and Thomas Woodcocke hardcover

1519180794Chicago.: Chicago Daily Tribune. January 151942. Printed colour map on a single newspaper leaf 53 x 40.7 cm; 59.8 x 45 cm sheet inset text box marginal browning and at the folds but remarkably bright in very good condition. WWII map of China showing most of China Indo-China Thailand and Korea with territory captured and controlled by Japan shaded in orange and red published by the Chicago Daily Tribune barely six weeks after the bombing of Pearl Harbour. The text on the map reads "Since 1937 China has been at war with Japan. Lacking many essentials of war the Chinese nevertheless have managed to maintain a front against the aggressors. China's principal life line is the Burma road shown on the map which starts at Lashio Burma and extends to Kunming Yunnan province where it links with connections to Chunking the present Chinese capital". <br> <br>Based on a Rand McNally map the Tribune briskly got to work issuing maps for readers showing the beginnings of the war with Japan. Later maps were also published for sale separately but remarkably few have survived. <br>"… the historic Chicago Tribune was an innovator in color inks and printing but also a pioneer in bringing colorful art in the form of illustrations photographs cartoons and advertisements to the average person in an everyday medium." see The Janet A.

1572170401大阪. Osaka.: 日本生命保険株式会社. Nihon Seimei Hoken Kabushiki Kaisha. 昭和8 1933. 5 colour manga postcards 9 x 15 cm in slightly foxed original envelope. Postcards are all in very good condition. This set of manga postcards were published in1933 by Nippon Life Insurance Company to promote the benefits of life insurance. <br> <br>Nippon Life Insurance Company was established in Osaka in 1889. <br> <br>Instead of presenting figures and tables each manga tries to illustrate the sense of reassurance people would experience when they buy this company's insurance. For example a manga by Okamoto Ippei a famous manga illustrator in the pre-war Japan depicts a "Family Boat" where young and old members each wear a lifebelt represent their insurance policy while sailing. Its caption says that a insurance policy is a rescue buoy for life which would make people feel peaceful even on the roughest of seas. Another card features a young attractive geisha sitting coquettishly at home is an advertisement for an old age insurance policy. The text assures the viewer that their policy will be paid back in full when the policy matures. The couple plan to use the money to fund the granddaughter's honeymoon trip and their own holiday anticipating that they would live long enough to receive the matured fund. . [日本生命保険株式会社].
