Johannes Sleidanus 1506-66 was born in Schleidan Luxembourg and studied ancient languages and literatures at Liège and Cologne and law and jurisprudence at Paris and Orléans. At Lièges he encountered humanist scholars and developed an interest in Protestant ideas. He went to work for Cardinal du Bellay and was employed in the futile negotiations of the French court to make an alliance with the German Protestants against the Emperor Charles V. In 1542 he settled in Strassbourg. He was in the habit of copying all papers that had any bearing on the Reformation to which he had access and Martin Bucer who had seen his papers suggested that Philip of Hesse appoint him historian of the Reformation giving him a salary and access to all necessary documents. Thus began his great work the first volume of which appeared in 1545. That same year he traveled to England in a French embassy to Henry VIII and there he collected further materials for his work. He later went to Marburg to view the archives of Philip of Hesse. In 1551 he attended the Council of Trent. He finished his history in 1554 despite financial problems. He died in poverty the following year. Printed by Edw. Jones, for Abel Swall...and Henry Bonwicke.. unknown

CONTRABAND CHRISTMAS

186434709Boston: E. P. Dutton and Company 1864. Very Scarce First Edition Worldcat lists only 22 copies of the first edition in institutional holdings and we are aware of no other copies currently on the market. With two engraved plates by Augustus Hoppin and with chapter headpieces and engraved initials Small 8vo in the publisher's original textured green cloth the upper cover framed in blind and lettered "A Christmas Story" in gilt with stylized decorative lettering the design repeated on the rear cover but in blind the spine blind lettered within a gilt decorative emblem yellow endpapers. 104 pp. A rare survival in original cloth and in unusually well preserved condition the text clean and with minimal mellowing the green cloth bright and unfaded the hinges firm and intact a little wear or rubbing to the corners and edges. This is one of the brightest and well preserved copies we have studied. RARE FIRST EDITION. A CIVIL WAR ERA RARITY. AN IMPORTANT WORK ABOUT FORMER SLAVES CELEBRATING THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS AFTER EMANCIPATION the story reflects Northern sentiments and pro-emancipation ideals and recounts the first Christmas in the North celebrated by fugitive slaves and those liberated by the Emancipation Proclamation. This scarce first edition is an important fugitive slave novel. The first edition was published toward the end of the Civil War then re-issued in 1865 at the war's conclusion. It is perhaps the first novel to discuss openly the "N" word and its possible derivation from the word "niger" and how the word was used to denigrate the individual and persist in pre-emancipation prejudice. CONTRABAND CHRISTMAS tells the story of formerly enslaved people â€œcontrabandsâ€ who have taken refuge with Union forces. As Christmas approaches they will be experiencing the holiday as free individuals for the first time. The story culminates in a Christmas gathering filled with hymns prayer and reflection. Themes include freedom slavery faith human dignity and the transformative impact of the Civil War. One point of note CONTRABAND CHRISTMAS contains one of the earliest explanations of the entirely derogatory character of the "N" word. Worldcat credits the author as being Taylor Root but it is sometimes attributed to William Henry Hurlbert. Artist Augustus Hoppin was well known at this time for his Civil War imagery found in Harper's Weekly. E. P. Dutton and Company hardcover

(ALCHEMY) LLULL, Ramon [also called Raymond Lully or Raymond Lull]Biblio.com

Ascens i Descens de l'Intellecte. Llibre de Illuminat Doctor Ramon Llull. Aguafortes by Ramon de Capmany.

195376489Barcelona: Edicions Hora 1953. First edition in Catalan Llull's native tongue and the first edition with Campany aquatints. One of XVI special copies. Text printed in Catalan Llull is known for being among the first authors to use his vernacular language Catalan to communicate his ideas. Folio . 175 1 pp. with 11 full page hand-colored etchings drawn engraved and colored by the artist and ten large chapter headings all signed in pencil by the artist. Loose as issued in vellum-backed chemise with gilt spine lettering. Housed in a custom acrylic slipcase. A wonderful copy.This is a Catalan translation of Llull's 1305 although first published in 1512 work entitled Liber de Ascensu et Descensu Intellectus The Book of the Ascent and Descent of the Intellect. Ramon Llull is often thought of as an alchemist of the first order but strictly speaking he was a philosopher/theologian. His magnum opus Ars Magna displays his chief theme; the understanding of eternal truths by way of the intellect. While not himself an alchemist the seekers of the philosopher's stone were very influenced by Llull's ideas. In this book Llull describes the movement of the intellect through the many levels of understanding which some Renaissance alchemists such as Heinrich Khunrath interpreted as analogous to the transmutation process in alchemy. This striking volume was issued in an edition of 165 copies. This copy is one of XVI #VII copies containing an original drawing of one of the plates or of 2 of the vignettes a complete set of the proofs a series of sanguine proofs of the plates and the vignettes and the final proof of all the plates. It is the most desired format. Ramon de Capmany y de Montaner 1899 - 1992 was a Catalan painter engraver and bibliophile. He trained as a painter at the Escuela de la Lonja where he studied under the supervision of Francesc Labarta. He was one of the members of the the Evolutionists and one of the regulars of the Sala Pares. The Evolutionists were an artistic group from Barcelona in the aesthetic sphere of Noucentisme and who rejected programmatic orthodoxy and influenced by Cezanne and the Fauvists developed a personal work constructed and of austere colors. Mainly a landscape painter he mostly painted the surroundings of the Montseny Massif and the old part of the city of Barcelonain a naturalistic style. He also illustrated bibliophile editions such as this one. He held the position of curator in the board of the Ateneo Barcelones during the presidency of Pedro Gual Villalbi between 1952 and 1962. Some of his works can be found in the National Art Museum of Catalonia.One of the proofs of the work apart from the one designated to be signed by the artist is dedicated by Capmany to a Mr. Riera with the following words: ‘Prueba dedicada al Sr. Riera por el artista. Ramon Campmany.’ An original steel etched plate one used in the making of this volume comes with the work. It’s an additional object and no other copies have such a plate. This plate was a gift from the artist to the same Mr. Riera. Edicions Hora hardcover

An intriguing album filled with 43 silver gelatin photographs documenting the construction and operation of the Murphy Murray Dredging Company erected in less than three months by â€œWicksâ€ and operated until March 1941.

193959792Gold Hill Jackson County OR: Murphy Murray Dredging Company ca. 1939-1941. Oblong 4to. 30 pp unpaginated. on thick black paper stock. With 43 silver gelatin photographs mounted w/ black corners sized from 2.75 x 3.75 in. up to 3.5 x 6 in. some date stamped on versos several w/ pencil annotations in cursive manuscript minor chipping to couple corners edgewear. Contemporary flexible ribbed black cloth post-binder nickel plated screwposts at gutter margins minor edgewear VG. This series of photographs captures the historic gold mining by the last gold dredge to operate on Foots Creek in Southern Oregon on the property of Edward Dole. Several dredges and placer mining operations mined Foots Creek from the 19th well into the 20th Century with one dredge owned by the Rogue River Gold Mining Co. known as the Ferry Dredge dredged both forks of Foots Creek until 1935 when it was moved to Graves Creek. Under the direction of â€œWicks the Bossâ€ this dredge was brought in unassembled by railroad in 1939 and â€œthis was his 35th dredge.â€ The photos show the steel hull mass boom erecting the steel framework framing the steel gantries for the dredge installing the winches as well as the massive 67 bucket line ladder built by New York Engineering Co. Yonkers NY. The newly constructed dredge shown here proceeded to work itâ€™s way up the creek digging 20 feet below the water line and moved 4000 yards daily through the screening and wash plant with conveyor belts stacking the tailings behind. In March 1941 just months before the attack on Pearl Harbor the dredge was dismantled and moved to another location by the Murray Dredging co. although mounds and walls of rock paralleling the creek still offer visible signs of its operation.

Candide en Dannemarc ou l'optimisme des honnêtes-gens. - CANDIDE IN DENMARK - WITH A SATIRE ON ROUSSEU

176745831Geneve 1767. Original blue cardboard binding with contemporary handwritten paper title-label to spine. Pencil-numbering to inside of boards. A very nice and clean copy. Woodcut vignette to title-page. With the ex-libris of the notes Danish book collector K.F. Plesner to inside of front board. Rare first edition of this interesting anonymously written continuation of Voltaire's Candide which wraps up the adventures of the hero. "Turning his back on both Voltarian satire and scepticism the novelist proposes a moralistic fable - the focal point of which is a rehabilitation of Leibniz's Theory of Optimism. The main body of the novel tells the story of Candide and his new wife the noble Zénoïde in their sumptuous Copenhagen townhouse. Before achieving this happy state however the couple endures various trials and tribulations reminiscent of the newly minted gothic genre. "Candide au Dannemarc" also features a satirical portrait of Jean-Jacques Rousseau." Éduard M. Langille from the introduction to the new edition of "Candide au Dannemarc" edited by him. Voltaire's "Candide" had inspired a sequel that appeared in 1760 which is attributed to Charles-Claude-Florent de Campigneulles but which might be by Henri-Joseph du Laurens. The present work is a direct continuation of that sequel although it ignores the happy ending of the previous work but evidently from the preface it is not written by the same author. It has still not been determined who the actual author is.The part on Rousseau pp. 148-167 in the present work has become quite famous portraying him satirically as trying to make a living in Copenhagen from copying music while plotting to escape to America. The novel ends with Candide leaving Denmark to be the Danish ambassador in Russia.A secoond edition appeared in 1769. paperback
