1972120967Beverly Hills CA: United Artists 1972. Complete set of 8 lobby cards for the 1972 crime film "Across 110th Street." Because it is set in Harlem this very underrated crime drama is often lumped with "blaxploitation" pictures of the same era. In truth it belongs to the great pantheon of gritty violent police procedurals of the early 1970s-something of a New York City companion to Don Siegel's "Dirty Harry" released the year before. A few faint scratches to a couple of the cards and a faint dampstain to the bottom edge of a few others; a bright clean set overall. <br/><br/>Parish and Hill 3. United Artists unknown books

A-L8 with blank L8 Bound in contemporary alum-tawed pigskin over wooden boards one clasp defective binding soiled and mildly worn and with small defects. The boards are ruled and tooled in blind signed and dated “IPN 1556â€. The contents are in excellent crisp condition one leaf working loose marginal tear in margin of leaf E5 no loss. With a historiated woodcut title border to the “Apologiaâ€. Woodcut coat-of-arms to verso of final leaf of the “Confessio†and fine woodcut initials in the Saxon Confession. Text of second work in Latin and German. With 16th c. notes on the f.f.e.p. This is the authorized text of the Augsburg Confession 1st ed. 1531 approved by Luther edited by and with the "Apologia" of Philip Melanchthon. It was printed by Georg Rhau who also printed the first editions both in Latin and German of the “Confessio†and “Apologiaâ€. The “Apologia†of this 1556 edition is dated 1542 see VD 16 ZV 31340. This edition was printed in the wake of the agreement reached in 1555 between the Lutheran princes and Charles V known as the Peace of Augsburg which granted Lutheranism legal status within the Holy Roman Empire. Bound into this copy is the 1553 Leipzig edition of the Saxon Confession which was drawn up by Melanchthon and intended for presentation at the Council of Trent; it presented the doctrinal status of the Lutheran Church of Germany as of 1552 and was the basis for the signing of the Peace of Augsburg. The Augsburg Confession: "On January 21 1530 the Emperor Charles V issued letters from Bologna inviting the German diet to meet in Augsburg on April 8 for the purpose of discussing and deciding various important questions. The far-seeing Landgrave of Hesse hesitated to attend the diet but the Elector John of Saxony who received the writ March 11 directed Luther Jonas Bugenhagen and Melanchthon to meet in Torgau and present a summary of the Protestant faith to be laid before the Emperor at the diet. This summary has received the name of the "Torgau articles". On April 3 the Elector and the reformers started from Torgau and reached Coburg on April 23. There Luther was left behind. The rest reached Augsburg May 2. On the journey Melanchthon worked on an "Apology" using the Torgau articles and sent his draft to Luther at Coburg who approved it. "The Emperor had ordered the confession to be presented to him on June 24. The evangelical princes however declared that they would not part with the confession until its reading should be allowed. The 25th was then fixed for the day of its presentation. In order to exclude the people the little chapel of the Episcopal palace was appointed in place of the spacious city hall. The two Saxon chancellors Bruck and Beyer the one with the Latin copy the other with the German stepped into the middle of the assembly and against the wish of the Emperor the German text was read. "Although the emperor prohibited the printing of the evangelical confession without his special permission during the diet six German editions and one in Latin were published. Their inaccuracy and incorrectness induced Melanchthon to prepare an edition to which he added the Apology. Thus originated the so-called 'editio princeps' of the Augustana and the Apology which was published in the spring of 1531." Schaff-Herzog "Melanchthon drafted the ‘Confession’ in both German and Latin using the Torgau Schwabach and Marburg Articles. The intention of the German Protestants was to present a single creed. Since they could not all agree on one several versions were presented to the Diet meeting at Augsburg. Of these it is the ‘Augsburg Confession’ that is remembered today; the others have long been forgotten. The presentation of the ‘Augsburg Confession’ was probably Melanchthon’s finest hour as a theologian. He had written a theological document that presented a reasonable compromise in the ongoing religious disputes in Germany. Luther himself said that he could never have ‘trod so lightly’ in treating such matters. The ‘Confession’ has come to be the standard Lutheran statement of faith and was included in the ‘Book of Concord’ of 1580."Kessler I. VD 16 ZV 31340; II. VD 16 C 4807 Georg Rhau, 1542, unknown books

Formerly in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America early clippings of poetical quotations c.1910 found in hinge of first quire. <br/><br/>Endters Kurfürstenbibel of 1748 an influential Luther Bible with exceptional engravings produced by the Gotha court. First published in 1641 under the authorization of Duke Kurfürst Ernst I of Saxe-Gotha. This is the so-called Kurfürstenbibel or Elector Bible because some of the engravings show various Dukes from the 16th and 17th centuries. At the realization of this major project prominent Lutheran theologians such as Johann Gerhard Solomon Glassius and Johann Michael Dilherr among others contributed to the work. This Bible was published with a glossary and added in-text explanations of Luthers original translation for the enlightenment of ordinary people. For nearly two centuries from 1613 to 1792 the successful family of Endter of Nuremberg printed the text of Luthers Bible. Specifically the Kurfürstenbibel was produced from 1641 to 1758 in fourteen editions. Today the large-format folio expenditures are amongst the most commonly encountered family Bibles from the 17th but especially the 18th century. The Gotha courts significant pool of sources as well as favor of the market place in Nuremberg gave rise to such an important project. Large-format and heavyweight in every sense of the word it remains a visually stunning work with its numerous portraits of princes in woodcuts and engravings this Elector Bible treated both theological aspects as well as those of the courtly self-understanding.

The colonial powers had granted monopolies for Bible printing to "home" publishers and their products were priced sufficiently low to discourage illegal printing by colonial printers which left it to German-Americans a people here as independent settlers not "colonists" to first print a Bible of their own. Christopher Saur or Sower as he Englished it was something of a renaissance man university educated and a physician and he used his connections in Germany to obtain the gift of the fraktur type used in this Bible. It was printed in an edition of 1200 copies and cost 18 shillings. Another complete American Bible did not follow until Saur's son also Christopher published a further edition in 1763.<br>Â Â Â Â Arndt lists three states for this edition of which this appears to be C based on the absence of a two-leaf addendum giving a short history of Bible translation that a buyer could choose to have bound in or not. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Evans 512728; Sabin 5191; Arndt The First Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America 47C; Hildeburn 804; Rumball-Petre Rare Bibles 159; Darlow & Moule 4240; O'Callaghan 22; Wright Early Bibles of America 2444.

17102802Nürnberg: In Verlegung der Johann Andrea Endters Seel Sohn & Erben 1710. Folio 39 cm 15.38". Frontis. 32 ff. 1181 1 pp. 11 -1 ff.; 1 plt. illus. <br><br>Aside from its importance in the religious tradition Luther's translation of the Bible is probably the most important single text for the formation of Modern German. Like other Luther Bibles this one contains his prefaces to the books of the Bible including his theologically significant Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. It is also supplemented by the Augsburg Confession of which sadly the last leaf is absent here.<br>Â Â Â Â In this printing a fine engraved title-page shows an angel delivering Luther's translation of the Old Testament to a Church still in bondage to the requirements of the old Law. A similar sectional title-page depicting God the Father Jesus Christ and allegorical figures of the sacraments of Baptism and Communion comes before the New Testament. Six special pairs of leaves bound in at various places each offer a first page containing an engraving of biblical figures and three following pages containing their biographies. A woodcut vignette of the unusual triple arms of the city of Nürnberg appears on the title-page; a number of chapters are adorned at head with one-third page woodcut illustrations set in neat borders; and the books typically open with typographically appealing two-column "headers." The text is in a handsome and relatively legible fraktur.<br>Â Â Â Â The size decoration and overall composition of the volume along with its faults especially the manner in which which pages are worn suggest a history as a lectern Bible in a Lutheran Church.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: This copy is bound in ornately blind-tooled and -stamped alum-tawed pigskin over wooden boards the front cover with three of its original etched corner bosses and with its two etched clasp-catches. Bosses of back cover no longer present remnants of clasps. A martial portrait is centered on each cover; unfortunately these are now so worn that they are no longer identifiable. Perhaps they belong to the electors of Saxony who safeguarded the Lutheran faith in its infancy.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Ownerhship signature of Ludwig Buehl Philadelphia 1852. Binding as above. Covers abraded and worn some scraping to back upper board leather peeling back from fore-edge of front cover and opening at ends of joints most notably at bottom of front one.
