Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Original wrappers. Large 8vo. (21 x 16 cm). In Greek (Modern). 21 p. First and only edition of this exceedingly rare and one of the earliest church regulations of the Greek Orthodox community of Attalia [Antalya]. Attalia was not a large urban center or major trading hub, but neither was the Greek Community marginal, and it was well integrated into the regional economy. It was different from other areas in Asia Minor due to a combination of factors ranging between demography, geography, local Orthodox leadership, and the city's social milieu. In contrast to the West-coast cities and many villages in Asia Minor with Orthodox majorities, Attalia's population was only about one-third Orthodox. The main area of difference in Antalya was the Community leadership, which was key to the maintenance of cordial relationships between Christians and Muslims, and the secular and ecclesiastical elements of Orthodox leadership in Antalya tended to cooperate for collective benefit. Throughout this period, a local elite managed to control education and other Community institutions, perpetuating an identity that was compatible with the local Ottoman context. In this last period, the Greek Community printed several books and tractates including a brief history of Antalya and this "regulation book" in the Meli Printing House, which was the only printing house of the Greek Community in Antalya. Only one institutional copy is located in OCLC 1030075331 (Suna Kiraç Library of the Koç University).
Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Greek (Modern). 79 p. Not in OCLC. The Metropolis of Chalcedon is an ecclesiastical territory (diocese) of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Christianity spread in Chalcedon during the 2nd century AD. The city was initially the see of a bishopric before being promoted to a metropolis at 451 AD, at the time of the Fourth Ecumenical Council. It is one of the four remaining active Greek Orthodox Church metropolises of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Turkey today and the only one surviving in Asia Minor (Anatolia). During the 14th century, the metropolitan see remained vacant, due to the Ottoman conquest of the region. However, it was reorganized in the 15th century, possibly after the Fall of Constantinople and the subsequent incorporation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate into the millet system of the Ottoman society. The first recorded metropolitan of that time was Joseph, in 1477. In the following years, the jurisdiction of the metropolis was extended to the east. During the late 17th century the see of the diocese was transferred to Kuzguncuk (Ermoulianai, Chrysokeramos), where it remained until 1855. At that period a number of monasteries were established, like the one of Saint Panteleimon, which was declared Stauropegic. The metropolitan of Chalcedon was one of the five Elder metropolitans from the wider region of Constantinople, the other being those of nearby Herakleia, Cyzicus, Nicaea, and Nicomedia. Following an Ottoman decree of 1757, they had to be always present in the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and had direct access to the Ottoman Sultan, to whom they announced the election of the new Ecumenical Patriarch. From the mid-19th century, the local metropolis prospered thanks to the significant population increase and economic development of the local Orthodox population. In 1855 the see of the metropolitan returned to Chalcedon during the primateship of Metropolitan Gerasimos. Moreover, the newly erected church of Saint Euphemia became the new cathedral. The metropolitan mansion was built near the cathedral in 1902. This is the first and only known printed regulation book of the Greek Community in Chalcedonia (Kadiköy). Extremely rare.
pp. (2). 304 (8) [Index]. 8vo. 210 mm. Nice modern faux leather binding. Hardcover. The printer apparently transposed the X & the L of the Roman numerals, changing the correct date for this edition of 1768 to 1748. Early ownership of John Evered. The right to receive tithes was granted to the English churches by King Ethelwulf in 855. The Saladin tithe was a royal tax, but assessed using ecclesiastical boundaries, in 1188. Tithes were given legal force by the Statute of Westminster of 1285. Adam Smith criticized the system in The Wealth of Nations (1776), arguing that a fixed rent would encourage peasants to farm more efficiently. The Dissolution of the Monasteries led to the transfer of many tithe rights from the Church to secular landowners, and then in the 1530s to the Crown. The system ended with the Tithe Commutation Act 1836, which replaced tithes with a rent charge decided by a Tithe Commission. The present work gives wonderful details on the tithe "value" of various monasteries, locales, and institutions. Very good. Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W153

In-4° grande; pp. (20), 503, (1), marca tipografica incisa su legno al frontespizio. Legatura in piena pergamena coeva con titolo manoscritto al dorso. Un libro di viaggio che ripercorre i luoghi di San Domenico. Il domenicano Giovanni Michele Pio compila in quest’opera una straordinaria storia dell’Ordine di San Domenico, letta sia attraverso le vite degli uomini che resero tanto illustre quell’ordine, sia attraverso i luoghi fisici, conventi e monasteri, che segnarono la diffusione dei domenicani in Italia e in Europa, ma anche, ciò che è specialmente interessante, in Asia e in America. Pio descrive infatti per i singoli conventi le architetture, le cose mirabili che vi sono conservate, gli eventi che vi hanno avuto luogo, e lo fa, come dichiara nella lettera al lettore, per aver viaggiato e visto lui stesso in tutta Italia, e affidandosi per l’estero a fonti scritte, come per le fondazioni in Spagna, Inghilterra, Francia, Germania, Fiandre, Polonia e Portogallo, e per le relative missioni nelle Indie Orientali e Occidentali. La testimonianza di un domenicano contemporaneo è di straordinaria importanza per ricostruire la rete dei movimenti attraverso cui viaggiavano non solo I missionari e l’evangelizzazione, ma anche la cultura e l’economia europea, principalmente spagnola e portoghese: Goa, Mozambico, Cochin, Messico, Perù, Cile, Cuba, Porto Rico, Acapulco, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Filippine ecc. Nelle pagine dell’opera si legge anche la storia dell’Inquisizione, di santi e miracoli. Molto ricche le tavole d’Indice con i conventi, i monasteri delle monache, santi, religiosi e religiose, pontefici, cardinali, arcivescovi, vescovi, scrittori, e la Tavola delle cose più notabili. (Fantuzzi, voll VII, p.42; manca a Sabin) In-4th large; pp. (20), 503, (1), woodcut printer’s mark on title page. Full vellum contemporary binding with handwritten title on the spine. A travel book that follows the places of San Domenico. The Dominican Giovanni Michele Pio compiles in this work an extraordinary history of the Order of St. Dominic, read both through the lives of the men who made that order so illustrious, and through the physical places, convents and monasteries, which marked the spread of Dominicans in Italy and Europe, but also, what is especially interesting, in Asia and America. In fact, Pio describes for the single convents the architectures, the admirable things that are preserved and the events that took place there, and he does so, as he declares in the letter to the reader, for having traveled and seen himself throughout Italy, and entrusting himself for abroad to written sources, as for the foundations in Spain, England, France, Germany, Flanders, Poland and Portugal, and for the related missions in the East and West Indies. The testimony of a contemporary Dominican is of extraordinary importance to reconstruct the network of movements through which not only missionaries and evangelization traveled, but also the European culture and economy, mainly Spanish and Portuguese: Goa, Mozambique, Cochin, Mexico , Peru, Chile, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Acapulco, Honduras, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Philippines etc. In the pages of the work one can also read the story of the Inquisition, of saints and miracles. The index tables with convents, monasteries of nuns, saints, men and women religious, pontiffs, cardinals, archbishops, bishops, writers, and the Table of the most notable things are very rich.
