The Battle of Manassas for the Piano by Blind Tom

188461664Cleveland OH: S. Brainard's Sons 1884. Second edition. 4to. 11 pp. Long introduction on the verso of the title page the music with printed notes indicating stages of the battle. Thomas "Blind Tom" Wiggins Bethune 1849-1908 an African-American autistic savant and musical prodigy was born a slave on a plantation in Harris County Georgia near Columbus and began his musical career at an early age on his master's piano. At eight Tom was hired out to a promoter who toured him extensively in the United States earning prodigious sums of money; his former master took him to Europe in 1866 for a successful tour there. A series of custodial battles and other problems essentially ended Blind Tom's career in the mid-1890s. "In the wave of euphoria after Manassas Tom turned his hypersensitive ear into the music of the big-mouthed guns. He then framed these sounds with the South's triumphant version of events before composing what many believed was his masterpiece . Tom's impressionistic musical description of the battle pits the harmony of the right hand against the discord of the left. An insistent bass conjures the trudge of marching columns tonal clusters evoke the roar of cannon and musketry. A brooding soundscape then ducks weaves and punches its way into a medley of popular and patriotic songs . discord tugging at the heels of melody until it finally explodes into the chaos of a harem-scarem finale" from Deidre O'Connell's "The Ballad of Blind Tom Slave Pianist America's Lost Genius". The first edition of "The Battle of Manassas" was published in 1866 by Root & Cady in Chicago; this second edition including a catalogue of other war related pieces of sheet music available from the publisher was issued by Brainard's in 1884. Both editions are uncommon in institutional holdings and in trade. Not in Dichter & Shapiro Levy or Wolf.

Mother Goose in Gridiron Rhyme. December 1911

1911004030Washington DC: The Gridiron Press December 9 1911. First edition. Wraps. Very Good. Inscribed by C.K. Berryman the cartoonist to H.W. Berryman. The inscription states "This book is inscribed by the illustrator C.K. Berryman". 8vo. 20 by 16.5 cm. 74 1 pp. Cartoons are of the political luminaries of the day including many names still recognizable such as Elihu Root William Borah Taft TR Robert LaFolette Gifford Pinchot Henry Stimson Woodrow Wilson and on and on. Clever rhymes for the ABC and then clever variants of well-known nursery rhymes. The drawings capture the persons depicted with great fidelity yet impressive economy. Berryman began his career as an artist for the patent office before joining the staff of "The Washington Post" in 1891 as an understudy for its chief cartoonist then becoming its official cartoonist in 1896. In 1907 he left the Post for "The Washington Star" where he drew cartoons until his death. He is probably best known for inspiring the Teddy Bear. The Gridiron Club was founded in 1885 and remains one of the most prestigious press clubs in the nation. The Gridiron Dinner is an annual rite in Washington often attended by the sitting President. This book is uncommon in the original printing. The Gridiron Press paperback books

De Natura Rerum et Temporum Ratione. Libri Duo. Nunc recens inventi & in lucem editi

675816 p.l. 74 leaves. Folio later vellum-backed boards foot of spine defective occasional light soiling & dampstaining. Basel: H. Petri 1529. First edition of the two texts together. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably "this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not 'in the 16th year of the reign of George V' or 'in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome' or in the '2nd year of the 481st Olympiad' we are indebted to the Venerable Bede."-Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. "Bede's greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions beginning the year calculation of Easter names of days and months calculations of eras and so forth in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined not changed by Gregorian reform."-D.S.B. I p. 565. "The De Ratione Temporum first published in 1505 is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port i.e. the mean interval between the moon's meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports."-Sarton I p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede's establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. This is the first printing of De Natura Rerum which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section - the "De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum" - which is "our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism."-Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. This work was edited by Johannes Sichardt 1499-1552 professor of law who during the years 1526-30 lived in Basel and while teaching also edited and prepared for printing Latin manuscripts he had found in libraries in monasteries. He also served as adviser to the Basel printers Cratander Bebel and Henricus Petri. Good copy preserved in a box. Early signature of "Mallarii" on title with motto in Greek. Armorial bookplate dated 1915 of Bishop's College Cheshunt an Anglican theological college that closed in 1968. ❧ Sichardt: Bietenholz ed. Contemporaries of Erasmus Vol. III p. 247. hardcover books

A most attractive sammelband of two well-illustrated books in an attractive contemporary blind-stamped binding probably made at the Stavelot monastery in Belgium. I. First collected and illustrated edition of the scientific writings of the Venerable Bede including De Natura Rerum dealing with cosmology and natural history and De Temporum Ratione a work on chronology that still exercises a considerable influence over our daily life today. This edition was edited and commented upon by Joannes Noviomagus i.e. Jan van Bronchorst of Nijmegen 1494-1570 philosopher and mathematician then a professor of philosophy at the Collegium Montanum in Cologne. It would appear that he used the manuscript at the Dombibliothek no. 103 of Cologne to prepare this edition. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably "this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not 'in the 16th year of the reign of George V' or 'in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome' or in the '2nd year of the 481st Olympiad' we are indebted to the Venerable Bede."-Printing & the Mind of Man 16n.

Pierre Duhem described Bede's establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. Also contained here is the De Natura Rerum 1st printing: 1529 which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section - the "De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum" - which is "our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism."-Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. The rest of the book contains further treatises by Bede on arithmetic astronomy and the calendar and chronology. II. Very rare.

A contemporary annotator has supplemented it with prices buyers' names and commentary on the artworks almost all dismissive in the margins. Van Slingelandt 1701-82 a great patron of the arts who lived in Dordrecht amassed one of the most notable Dutch painting collections of the 18th century. This heavily annotated volume is the first and most important part of the sale describing 701! paintings along with eight drawings. The second part of drawings and sculptures followed shortly thereafter. Van Slingelandt's collection consisted of Old Masters and contemporary Dutch artists some of whom the collector himself patronized. The present catalogue details the works of Asselijn Bakhuizen Berghem J. Brueghel père et fils Cuyp 38 lots Dou van Dyck Jordaens Metsu Netscher Adrian and Isaac van Ostade Potter Rembrandt Rubens Ruysdael Steen Teniers ter Borch Wouwerman etc. etc. All lots are priced with buyers' names. It is clear the annotator viewed and attended the sale. For almost every item he has provided the name of the buyer. The annotator likely a connoisseur has written generally disparaging comments on the works for sale deriding them as copies or incorrectly attributed: "mauvais" "bizarre" "lourd" "médiocre" "not by Rembrandt." There are additional remarks on condition and provenance which are very interesting. The rare positive observation praises the work of a young artist or salutes a master's finest painting. This sale presided over by Pierre Yver 1712-87 and Abraham Delfos 1731-1820 the preeminent Dutch art dealers of the period was attended by many of their competitors including Pierre Fouquet who frequently purchased on behalf of the famous French expert Jean Baptiste Pierre Lebrun 1748-1813 as corroborated by several annotations in this copy. Lebrun solidified his position as the leading dealer in Netherlandish pictures by purchasing directly from the source and was buying heavily at sales such as these. Other notes indicate there were dealers from Brussels Lyon Antwerp Amsterdam Germany the Hague and Rotterdam. An extremely interesting annotated copy. A few of the annotations are cropped. ❧ Lugt 3936. Oxford Art online Delfos & Yver. hardcover books
