The United States House of Representatives Select Committee on Assassination was created on September 15 1976 to investigate the assassinations of John F. Kennedy in 1963 and Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968. The public did not believe the findings of Johnson's Warren Commission following Kennedy's assassination especially after the first public airing of the Zapruder film on Good Night America in 1975. Conspiracy materials and theories rose and trust in the CIA and FBI fell. Subjects of the investigation in these reports include: ballistics photographs autopsies fingerprints and handwriting and audio recordings. The Committee concluded that King was killed by a single rifle shot from James Earl Ray that "there is a likelihood" that it was a result of conspiracy but not one that included a U.S. government agency.

1552SB-22329Magdeburg, Michael Lotther, 1552. Unpag, (100 S.). Neuerer Ganzlederband im Format 21 x 15 cm mit im Vorderdeckel eingelassener Prägeplakette (Schloßkirche zu Wittenberg, 1517) und ledernen Schließbänden. Theologische Programmschrift des Reformators und Luther-Mitstreiters Johann Timann (1499 - 1557). Der in Amsterdam geborene Timann mußte 1522 mit den holländischen Augustinern seine Heimat verlassen und gelangte nach Wittenberg, wo er Martin Luther und Philipp Melanchthon kennenlernte, mit denen er künftig eng zusammenwirken sollte. Timann wandte sich nach Bremen, wo er gemeinsam mit dem Augustinermönch Jacob Probst, der sich ebenfalls in Wittenberg aufgehalten hatte, an die Spitze der reformatorischen Bewegung trat. 1534 hatte er wesentlichen Anteil an der Ausarbeitung der Bremer Kirchenordnung, die von Luther und dessen Mitstreiter Johannes Bugenhagen abgesegnet wurde. Timann trat ferner in der Auseinandersetzung mit der radikalreformatorischen Täuferbewegung hervor. So vertrat er die Stadt Bremen auf dem Hamburger Konvent vom 15. April 1535, wo scharfe Maßnahmen gegen die Täufer beschlossen wurden. Ebenso nahm Timann als bremischer Abgeordneter 1537 gemeinsam mit Luther und Melanchthon am Fürstentag in Schmalkalden und an den Religionsgesprächen in Worms und Regensburg 1540 und 1541 teil, wodurch er seinen Ruf als Theologe über Bremen hinaus festigte. Timann, der in enger Verbindung mit Luther eine Reihe theologischer Schriften verfaßte, kann als einer der führenden reformierten Theologen der norddeutschen Region gelten.
In-8°; cc (24) incluse 2 ccbb.Al frontespizio un legno.La Vita di San Prosdocimo ha un proprio frontespizio. Alla prima carta bianca nota manoscritta. Legatura coeva in piena pergamena. una raccolta di capitoli in terzine, ciascuno con un proprio titolo, del rimatore petrarchista Antonio Boatto. “Il contrasto (schema antichissimo da Iacopone a Bonvesin) si sviluppa vivacemente in direzione teatrale, opponendo il materialismo dell’uomo esteriore all’ascesi platonica dell’altro; alla fine l’uomo esteriore si converte, in una notevole drammatizzazione dell’intervento della grazia di Dio, che salva l’uomo senza conculcare il libero arbitrio: tema da mettere senz’altro in rapporto con il capitolo contro Lutero. Quest’ultimo testo… è illuminante per capire quanto gli echi della rivoluzione teologica della Riforma fossero diffusi anche tra i semplici fedeli: Boatto descrive con estrema lucidità, nella sua invettiva, i punti salienti della predicazione di Lutero, dal libero esame delle Scritture, alla questione della grazia, del libero arbitrio, e quindi della validità del Purgatorio e dei sacramenti” (G. Da Pozzo, a cura di, Storia letteraria d’Italia, Il Cinquecento, 2, p. 953, 1066).

Minor yellow toning visible in portions of the background foliage; light press markings consistent with newsroom use; image remains sharp and clear. Overall very good condition.
