1926CNJL743Munich: Bremer Presse 1926-1928 1926. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Simons Anna. One of 365 copies folio size 5 volumes complete in German. An extraordinary publication by the Bremer Press of the "Martin Luther Bible". Translated by Luther directly from the Greek during his enforced sequestration in Wartburg Castle 1521-22 it was first published in 1545 and he continued to edit and refine his translation up to his death the following year. Translating directly from the Greek was a marked departure for the academics of the day who relied on the Latin Vulgate translation and used Latin for their studies with Greek seldom used or even taught. <br/><br/>Luther chose to translate from the Greek into the vernacular German language of the day making the scriptures accessible to everyday people and at the same time providing a vehicle for a more unified German language. The Bremer Press known for its interrelation of scholarship type design and book design has provided a version of the Luther Bible edited by Professor Carl von Kraus 1868-1952 Professor of German Philology at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. n. b. above info from Wiki and Ransom.<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Set of five volumes complete; Volume I: Die Bucher Mose; Volume II: Das Ander Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume III: Das Dritte Teil des Alten Testaments; Volume IV: Die Propheten; and Volume V: Das Neue Testament.

200126417Antwerp: Detlef BVBA 2001. Faint impression mark to the front cover and a hint of smudging to the printed white boards else fine. First Edition. Oblong quarto. 2001 Spring / Summer lookbook of arguably the most important men's collection of the 2000s. In a sparse and minimalist selection of twelve color images Simons anticipates by less than a year the post-9/11 era of anxiety and surveillance. Using stills captured from a video by frequent Simons collaborator and fellow Academy alumnus Willy Vanderperre; grainy uneasy images of young men on a concrete basketball court wearing balaclavas and hoods. Simons had long been fascinated by presenting his clothing via video; his first collection F/W 95 was a video recording of street models instead of live runway. The anxious threatening mood of this lookbook and artists' book is one of the final and best instances of pre-millennial anxiety in art and fashion. Antwerp: Detlef BVBA unknown books
183423028Charleston: Printed by A.E. Miller 1834. 30pp stitched untrimmed. Very Good. <br/><br/> This pamphlet explains the controversy between South Carolina's Medical Society and its Medical College. The Medical Society created the Medical College in the 1820s. Dickson a physician helped to found the College; Simons a leader of the Medical Society would exercise control over the College. But the College faculty including Dickson was unhappy with Society rule and resigned in 1832. The parting was unpleasant; competing pamphlets issued on the contentious issues this one accusing Dickson of "sarcastic taunts and angry vituperations." The departed faculty would open another medical school. <br/> Unable to compete the Medical Society would relinquish its control in 1839 and the two medical schools merged. <br/>II Turnbull 331.

Scarce Lancaster edition printed in German the text from the edition published in the Netherlands in 1575. Simons was an ordained Catholic priest from Friesland in the Low Countries who followed the progress of the Reformation and recognized the need for reform and adherence to the teachings of the Bible. Transubstantiation and infant baptism were two doctrinal issues that he particularly found wanting. Through his exhaustive study of scripture he came to understand that they were not in the Bible and therefore he could no longer perform the sacrament as prescribed by Catholic liturgy. Ein Fundament und Klare Anweisung is a record of his biblical studies which had a significant influence on Dutch reform movements and the growth of the Anabaptist sect. It became a standard work in Mennonite communities in America. American Imprints 32974. 536. Gedruckt bey Johann Bär unknown books
