18132548Lisbon: Royal Press 1813. Broadsheet 434 x 325 mm. Printed text in two columns fulfilled in manuscript; surmounted by a row of three woodcuts at bottom the seal of the Portuguese Commissary General of the Holy Land. Fine condition untrimmed minor creases at folds. An illustrated printed form granting induction into the Confraternity Irmandade of Jerusalem also called the Confraternity of the Holy Sepulcher of Jerusalem one of a number of lay confraternities sponsored by the Franciscans. The document was promulgated by Fr. Manoel do Espirito Santo Santo Minde in the Franciscan Convent in Madrid on 10 February 1774 as stated in the text. The latter's xylographically reproduced signature is printed at the foot of the text as is the woodcut block-stamped seal with the Jerusalem cross of the Portuguese General Commissary of the Terra Sancta. The name of the inductee Antonio Xavier Ribeiro and the date 17 September 1814 are supplied in manuscript in spaces left blank for that purpose. The woodcuts show the Madonna on the Crescent the arms of the Confraternity and St. Francis; archaic in style they all show signs of wear. Originally a pilgrimage society the Confraternity of Jerusalem became one of the most prominent lay confraternities for slaves and freed slaves in eighteenth-century Brazil cf. Higgins "Licentious Liberty" in a Brazilian Gold-mining Region 1999 p. 104. Princeton holds a different edition of a similar broadside without imprint and apparently unillustrated and with a different official's printed signature. Royal Press unknown books
192125752Boston: Roxburgh Publishing Company 1921. First Edition. Octavo. Blue cloth boards lettered in gilt on spine and front cover; 258pp. Slightly shaken; spine gilt dulled legible with difficulty; internally clean tight and unmarked. A solidly VG copy lacking the presumed dustwrapper. Extremely uncommon survey of vice and crime in the Windy City presented as an exercise in "psychopathology" but written in a flat hard-boiled style by the enigmatic "Prince Immanuel of Jerusalem" whose true identity is shrouded in mystery. This pseudonym turns up in a number of unexpected locations: as a steerage immigrant to California in 1909 where he is described as "the son of the Sultan of Turkey and an Arabian Jewess" and is apparently seeking to raise funds for the construction of a "Universal University" on the site of King Solomon's Temple see The Lompoc California Journal for Jan 3 1909; as the headmaster of an institution called the "University College of Africa" in Cairo Egypt ca. 1917 see Hill The Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Papers v.11 p.769n; and as the creator of an invented language "Universal" ca. 1914 see Okrent In the Land of Invented Languages p.296. In the first two sources he is identified as "I.E. Goldreich" and "Eleasar Isaac Goldreich" respectively and he appears to have been a one-time British citizen. He was responsible for at least two other published works: Postcards of Palestine Cairo ca 1912 and Chaos: Written for the Illiterati Columbia City IN: 1947. A scarce and somewhat mysterious Chicago item. Roxburgh Publishing Company unknown books
