Agostino Tornielli 1543-1622 was a religious historian who eventually became master of the Society of Barnabites. His "Annales" first published 1609-10 were written as a prequel to Baroniuss massive 12 volume ecclesiastical history. Tornielli discusses historical events from the beginning of the world till the time of Jesus.

Front pastedowns with ex-libris of Daniel Berditchevsky. ◆Short crack to tail of a couple of joints boards with insignificant worming extremities a little rubbed but the bindings sound and not displeasing; excellent copies internally clean and fresh with only minor imperfections.<br/> <br/> Intended to promote piety in an increasingly secular world these works were written by a man deemed the "Enemy of the Philosophers" for his defense of traditional Christian spirituality against Enlightenment rationalism. Marquis Louis-Antoine Caraccioli 1719-1803 was born in Paris to a noble Neapolitan family and travelled the Continent trying a variety of careers from the church to the military before returning to the city of his birth to pursue a literary life. He wrote biographical and historical works as well as defenses of the pope but is best known for his excursions into conduct literature his experiments with printing text in color and his Christian apologia. Here he seeks to refute the deism of the great "philosophes" of the Enlightenment in "The Enigmatic Universe" and to reconcile science with Christianity; offers Christianity as the best path to a happy life in "The Religion of the Honest Man"; and counsels self-reflection and soul-searching in "Conversations with Myself." These copies come from the library of Belgian theological writer poet and collector Daniel Berditchevsky. Bassompierre unknown

18883032Guanabacoa 1888. About very good. Broadside approximately 12 x 17 inches. Previously folded. Contemporary manuscript rubric and small ink stamp. small patch of ink burn causing separation along rubric line. A few tiny wormholes slightly affecting text. Light tanning minor foxing. An otherwise unrecorded 19th-century Cuban broadside decree announcing the rules for celebrations in Guanabacoa during "las fiestas de su Patrona" taking place on August 14 & 15 1888. The patron saint of Guanabacoa then a small town just outside Havana and now an outlying district of the city is Our Lady of the Assumption and August 15 is the Feast of the Assumption. This broadside prints eight articles the first of which allow games and "diversiones públicas" but prohibit games of chance and gambling of any kind and authorize the erection of food and drink stalls in public places that do not impede public traffic. Permission must be obtained from the municipal magistrates for balls and parties in private houses; shooting guns rockets and fireworks is still strictly forbidden but the lighting of torches is allowed during the saint's procession. Other rules regulate vehicular traffic cafés and restaurants horse races ball games and theatrical performances. A very interesting document of municipal regulation for popular religious events in Cuba during the late-19th century. unknown

St. Peter Nolasco founded the Order of the Blessed Virgin Mary i.e. the Order of Mercy or Mercedarians in 1218. It was quickly successful in its goal of ransoming Christian prisoners from the Crusades and other religious conflicts and the order expanded to other charitable work. A third order of Mercedarians was founded for lay male and female supporters in 1260 and the first Mercedarian convent was established in Lima in 1535 the year of the Spanish founding of the city. This work gives the rules constitutions privileges and indulgences of the third order in Lima on the occasion of its re-establishment at the conventual church of St. Michael. A fine woodcut of the arms of the Mercedarian order surrounded by a typographic border graces the verso of the title page. This is the first edition; the work was reprinted in 1870. OCLC locates four copies at Yale Indiana the BNC and the BNE. unknown
1938List3696Chicago Illinois: Saint Germain Press 1938. Small folios wraps 5 6 pp. Musical scores. Light of My Heart inscribed as follows: “To Blessed Edith / These mean your / complete freedom and / victory in the light / Edna.â€. Fine condition. Two apparently unrecorded musical scores issued by Saint Germain Press at the height of the I AM Activity the metaphysical religious movement founded by Guy Ballard writing as “Godfre Ray King†and later led by his wife Edna Anne Wheeler Ballard. Music occupied a central role in I AM devotional practice where hymns and affirmational songs functioned as instruments of spiritual alignment intended to invoke divine “Light†and facilitate communion with Ascended Masters particularly the figure of Saint Germain. Blending Theosophy New Thought and American esoteric Christianity such compositions were likely performed in ceremonial services instructional classes and regional conclaves that combined ritual affirmation with musical participation. These sheets were part of the movement’s broader effort to disseminate spiritual teachings through accessible devotional media linking printed text spoken decree and musical performance within a unified metaphysical practice.<br /> <br /> The inscription by Edna Ballard adds notable historical significance. Following Guy Ballard’s death in 1939 Edna assumed leadership of the movement and became one of its principal public voices guiding the organization through both rapid expansion and intense federal scrutiny culminating in United States v. Ballard 1944 a landmark Supreme Court case addressing the limits of judicial inquiry into religious belief. Ephemeral musical publications from the I AM Activity are scarce particularly those bearing direct association with Edna Ballard or evidencing devotional use. No institutional holdings located in OCLC. Saint Germain Press unknown
