Sehr gutes Exemplar. - Die Werke des Regularkanonikers Arno von Reichersberg (gest. 1175) wurden in der bisherigen Forschung zur Kanonikerreform meist nur am Rand behandelt. Dabei trägt sein Hauptwerk, der „Schild der Kanoniker" (Scutum canonicorum), in entscheidender Weise Anteil am Institutionalisierungsprozess regularkanonikalen Lebens im Salzburger Reformraum. Die Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts entstandene, defensive Streitschrift verfolgt eine zweifache Funktion: Der erste Teil stellt in Form von Consuetudines konkrete Richtlinien für die Umsetzung der vita canonica im Reichersberger Reformstift auf. Im zweiten Teil diskutiert Arno Fragen zum Stellenwert der Regularkanoniker in der mittelalterlichen Gesellschaft und verteidigt diese neue Form der vita apostolica gegenüber konkurrierenden Lebensweisen. Das Scutum canonicorum vermittelt nicht nur einen Eindruck von den lebendigen Reformdiskursen in der Salzburger Erzdiözese, sondern stößt auch einen wichtigen Prozess zur Definition der vita canonica an. Die vorliegende Neuedition bietet nun erstmals eine moderne und kommentierte Aufbereitung mit deutscher Übersetzung.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color manuscript calendar prepared on a fine special paper with 'ahar'. 36x22,5 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 2 p. Several ink stains on paper, chipped on extremities. A very good manuscript. It shows astronomic situations, locations of planets and stars, and climates in 1324 [AD 1908]. It starts with high praise to Sultan Abdülhamid II with an old style of color moon & crescent icon. Sealed by Mehmed Pasazâde A. Ihsan. On the verso of paper, can be seen detailed calendar and details of 'ruzname'. Written on 'printed' down of the paper, probably it's prepared for the printing, therefore it's understood that Ihsan and Refet were thinking to print this 'taqwim'. Prepared in the year of the Second Constitutional Regime (II. Mesrutiyet) which was Abdul Hamid II's fall came as a result of the 1908 Young Turk Revolution, and the Young Turks put the 1876 Constitution back into effect. It seems, it's prepared before fall of the Sultan, and for the present to the Sultan. The Second Constitutional Period spanned from 1908 until after World War I when the Ottoman Empire was dissolved. "The starting year of the Hijrî calendar (al-taqwim al-hijri), the fundamental Islamic lunar calendar still in use among Muslims until today, is 622 CE. Its beginning corresponds to the Hijra or emigration of Prophet Muhammed and his followers from Mecca to Medina. It is based on the revolution of the moon around the Earth and consists of twelve months of 29 or 30 days: Muharram (30), Safar (29), Rabî' al-awwal (30), Rabi' al-thani (29), Jumâda al-awwal (30), Jumâda al-thani (29), Rajab (30), Sha'ban (29), Ramadhan (30), Shawwal (29), Dhul-'l-qi'da (30) and Dhul-hijja (29 or 30). The lunar year consists of 354 days, which is 11 days less than the solar year, and every 33 years it falls one year behind the Gregorian calendar. The discrepancy with the solar year, which follows the seasons, meant that Muslim countries also used the solar calendar, and some calendars drawn up by astronomers include the dates according to the European Gregorian calendar named after Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. Ottoman Turkey used both the Islamic lunar calendar and a solar calendar known as the Rumî or Roman calendar, which was based on the Julian calendar introduced since the times of Julius Caesar in 46 BC. The Roman calendar was inherited from the Byzantines and was used by the Ottomans for the taxation of agricultural revenues. The year according to the Rumî or Julian calendar began on 1 March, and the Ottomans took the starting year to be that of the Hijra. To make up for the gain of 11 days made by the solar Rumî calendar over the Islamic calendar, a leap year was deducted from the Rumî calendar every 33 years. A rûzname is a set of tables giving the first days of the months in both the Islamic and Rumî calendars, the date on which the sun enters each sign of the zodiac, and eclipses of the sun and moon. Also known as takvîm-i dâimî (perpetual calendar) or takvîm-i devr-i dâim (calendar of perpetual motion), the ruzname were permanently valid whatever the year. There is no evidence that such calendars were produced in pre-Ottoman times, and they may, therefore, be regarded as a type unique to Ottoman Turkey.".

Petit in-8, plein cartonnage vélin à la Bradel, titre doré en long, daté en pied (reliure moderne signée Goy), 126 p., (1) f. blanc [sign. a-h8]. Troisième édition dédiée à Henri II (la première date de 1547) de cet ouvrage controversé, analyse critique de "l'Orateur" de Cicéron considéré comme le chef-d'oeuvre et le modèle indépassable des traités de rhétorique. Dans cette critique paradoxale, Pierre de La Ramée qui était pourtant l'un des plus fervents admirateurs de Cicéron, réclame pour la rhétorique comme pour les autres arts une forme plus humaine et plus méthodique. L'ouvrage suscita une tempête et réveilla la haine tenace et durable des ennemis de Ramus: Jacques Charpentier en particulier, peut-être l'un des responsables de son assassinat lors de la Saint-Barthélemy. Caractères italiques, lettrines et belle marque de l'imprimeur gravée au titre. (W. J. Ong, 'Ramus and Talon Inventory', n° 57). Mouillure claire en coin. Très bon exemplaire, frais, grand de marges, bien relié.

Membre du Conseil des Anciens en 1799, puis du Corps législatif en 1802, Rabaut le jeune joua un rôle décisif dans les négociations avec Portalis sur la nouvelle constitution des églises protestantes. Secrétaire du Consistoire, il milita pour une réunion de l'ensemble des églises chrétiennes. Devenu gênant, il fut écarté par sa hiérarchie de son poste et nommé à Montpellier.
