195318800Boston 1953. Tempera on paper. Initialled "R.S.W." Mounted circular label lower right. Handsome 1950s sports car design.<br/> <br/>All of our present information about this drawing comes from a label on the back of the piece which indicates that it comes from the archives of the A.J. White Motor Vehicle Research Company - designers of exotic cars in the Boston MA area. We have not discovered any further information about the A. J. White Research Company thus far nor about the artist R.S.W. of this particular drawing. There does not appear to be any connection to the great White truck manufacturer. The drawing itself is especially nice its cool red sportscar positioned diagonally between two details in blue in a way that makes it appear anxious to move. unknown books

1495SAV133Venice: Lazarus de Suardis 1495. Paperback. Very Good . Venice: Lazarus de Suardis 21 March 1495. 8vo 173 x 116 mm. 284 leaves. Collation: 1-84 a-H in 34 gatherings of 4. Woodblock monogram printers device on colophon leaf. 48 lines double column Gothic type with printed guide letters. Stamp of the St. Charles Borromeo Seminary Library deaccessioned and two library shelfmarks pasted in Q83 and K30. Contemporary limp vellum; lightly soiled with some dampstains backstrip partly perished with partial ms. title and light edgewear; lower outer corner of l5 and D2 torn affecting a few words but in remarkable shape given its extensive use; cloth folding case. Title extensively inscribed in Latin with two columns of a subject index for sermons. The annotator was interested in indexing themes like heaven paradisus and hell infernus or Virgin Mary and Evangelists and easily being able to locate sermons for certain medieval virtues and vices or sins like luxury patience love anger and justice. Early biographical inscriptions on rear blank date to probably to the mid-sixteenth century and venetis gives this book a probable Venice home at one point. There are further scattered annotations notes and references to the index which reflect on sermons of interest. This book likely once belonged to preaching Franciscan monk from northern Italy. This monastic association is further evident with an ownership inscription in the lower margin of a1 Iste Liber est fratus dominici. Preaching was most closely associated with the Franciscans who also traveled extensively to reach audiences. The compact octavo format and lightweight wrappers of this volume would have made transportability much easier. Incunable edition of Johannes Gritschs register of medieval sermons called the Quadragesimale with an interesting period index of subjects probably added by a Franciscan scribe. Johannes Gritsch of Basel himself a Franciscan monk delivered his sermons in German and translated them in simple Latin ready for translation and adaptation to the vernacular. He used scriptural passages supporting texts from classics and fables and exemplary stories to prove moral grounds. Two main themes have been recognized to dominate the medieval sermon: the awareness of death and the need for contrition. Preachers would have relentlessly implored their audience to come to repentance. Brother Dominic the early modern friar who heavily used this book was no exception. He leaves evidence of his moral preaching interests throughout the book. The preliminary subject index is an invaluable glimpse into a composing preachers mindset at the dawn of the sixteenth century. This is the twenty-first edition of Gritschs Quadrigesimale which included fifty numbered sermons and additional sermons for specific church feasts; the first appeared in 1468 and a succession of printings appeared well into the sixteenth century. In fact a Lyons edition of the "Quadragesimale" was produced just one month later after this one in 1495 by Joannes Treschel. Printed sermon compilations were especially popular in monastic communities where volumes of model sermons would have enjoyed wide circulation.
