1963372454Harlem New York 1963. 14pp. duplicated typescript. 8vo. Stapled at gutter margin. 14pp. duplicated typescript. 8vo. Unrecorded printing of MLK's Letter from Birmingham Jail distributed by indefatigable community organizer and advocate Alice Wragg Kornegay 1932-1996 founder of the East Harlem Triangle Community Association. Kornegay produced this mimeographed version in preparation for an Association meeting to discuss the Letter three weeks before the March on Washington in August 1963. In her printed note on the first page she wrote "We send you this letter because we feel that it is so important that every citizen should have a chance to read it. After reading it come to the meeting and give up your thoughts. The Triangle plans to take action in this moment of opportunity. We want to hear from everyone. This is our opportunity to plan for the future let no one say that we passed it by."<br /> <br /> King's non-violent Birmingham campaign protesting racism and racial segregation in Birmingham began on April 3 1963. Arrested and jailed on Good Friday April 12 for violating an Alabama injunction against demonstrating that same day a group of white clergyman published a letter in a Birmingham newspaper denouncing King's campaign. King details the writing of his famous Letter from Birmingham Jail in his Why We Can't Wait: "Begun on the margins of the newspaper in which the statement by the white clergyman appeared while I was in jail the letter was continued on scraps of writing paper supplied by a friendly black trusty and concluded on a pad my attorneys were eventually permitted to leave me."<br /> <br /> "Without notes or research materials King drafted an impassioned defense of his use of nonviolent but direct actions. Over the course of the letter's 7000 words he turned the criticism back upon both the nation's religious leaders and more moderate-minded white Americans castigating them for sitting passively on the sidelines while King and others risked everything agitating for change. King drew inspiration for his words from a long line of religious and political philosophers quoting everyone from St. Augustine and Socrates to Thomas Jefferson and then-Chief Justice of the United States Earl Warren who had overseen the Supreme Court's landmark civil rights ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. For those including the Birmingham religious leaders who urged caution and remained convinced that time would solve the country's racial issues King reminded them of Warren's own words on the need for desegregation 'justice too long delayed is justice denied.' And for those who thought the Atlanta-based King had no right to interfere with issues in Alabama King argued in one of his most famous phrases that he could not sit 'idly by in Atlanta' because 'injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere'" Barbara Maranzani "Behind Martin Luther King's Searing 'Letter from Birmingham Jail'" https://www.history.com/news/kings-letter-from-birmingham-jail-50-years-later.<br /> <br /> In early May mimeographed drafts of the letter were circulated to King's close associates and important community leaders and clergy extant in at least . After the New York Times chose not to publish the letter extensive excerpts were published from one of the mimeographed drafts without King's consent on May 19 1963 in the New York Post Sunday Magazine; other newspaper and magazine printings followed in June. Within days of the New York Post printing however the American Friends Service Committee received King's permission to publish 50000 copies in pamphlet form with an iconic wrapper title with jail bars in the background - the first separate printing of the Letter.<br /> <br /> A critical text of the Civil Rights movement in an unrecorded printing which speaks its immediate impact and use as a rally cry ahead of the March on Washington.

Title page lower margin cut. Else good. <br /> German religious reformer and founder of the Lutheranism movement Martin Luther grew increasingly hostile towards the Jews following their refusal to accept his religious reformations. <br /><br /> In the present work the most virulent of Luther's anti-Semitic attacks he subjects the Jews to a torrent of vile abuse. His practical suggestions range from forced labor to outright banishment: "First their synagogues should be set on fire and what ever does not burn up should be covered over with dirt so that no one may ever be ale to see a cinder or stone of it. Secondly their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed.And this ought be done for the honour of God and of Christianity in order that God may see that we are Christians and that we have not wittingly tolerated or approved of such public lying cursing and blaspheming."<br /><br /> Due to Luther's vituperative anti-Jewish polemics the Lutheran church retained all the superstitious abhorrence of the Jews inherited from the medieval Catholic church.On Luther's conception of the Jews in this work see J. Trachtenberg The Devil and the Jews- The Medieval Conception of the Jew and its Relation to Modern Anti-Semitism 1983 p.183 et<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

Half-vellum flat spine brown morocco lettering piece. <em>20th century binding</em>.</p><p>191 x 151 mm.</p><p>Rare first edition of the "Articles of Smalkalde" written by Luther in 1536 and which offer a synthesis of his doctrine.</p><p>Graesse <em>Trésor de livres rares</em> 306.</p><p>Luther's attacks on the papacy were repeated and virulent. In 1535 Pope Paul III wearily proposed convening a council. The Protestants of the Smalkalde League meeting in assembly nevertheless made demands to take part. The council was convened in Mantua for May 1537. Immediately Luther compounded what would later be known as the Smalkalde articles in which he exhibited the essential points of his doctrine. The Council was postponed and did not take place until 1545 in the city of Trent.</p><p>" In 1534 Alessandro Farnese was elected as Pope Paul III with a clear message of internal church reform. To further this mission and to respond to the rise of Protestantism he called for an ecumenical church council to meet at the Italian city of Mantua in 1537. Given the importance of this council for Christian unity and the future of reformed forms of worship the elector of Saxony asked Luther to prepare an official statement of doctrine that would both represent his views and indicate where negociation might be possible. Luther agreed and with some imput from his Wittenberg colleagues carefully laid out what he saw as the central pillars of Christian teaching. Yet these doctrinal statements or articles were never presented at the council which was delayed a number of times finally meeting in Trent beginning in 1545. Instead they were discussed at a general meeting of the Protestant Schmalkaldic League although even here the collected princes and theologians declined to affirm them due mostly to concerns that they were too exclusionary and divisive especially the statements on the Eucharist and papacy. Luther then published the articles in 1538 adding a preface but leaving their structure and content otherwise intact. As these articles offered a clear and comprehensive summary of Luther's doctrine they would be extremely important as a Lutheran confession of faith and in 1580 would be incorporated into the authoritative collection of fundamental Lutheran documents known as the 'Book of Concord'" The Essential Luther 23.</p><p><strong>"Schmalkaldic Articles</strong> are one of the confessions of faith of Lutheranism written by Martin Luther in 1536. The articles were prepared as the result of a bull issued by Pope Paul III calling for a general council of the Roman Catholic Church to deal with the Reformation movement. The council was actually postponed several times until it met in Trent in 1545. John Frederick I Lutheran elector of Saxony wished to determine what issues could be negotiated with the Roman Catholics and what could not be compromised. He asked Luther to review earlier statements of faith by the reformers to determine what was absolutely essential to the faith. After Luther prepared the articles he invited several reformers to Wittenberg to discuss them and after some minor changes eight theologians signed them. They were then sent to the elector in January 1537.</p><p>In February 1537 the Protestant secular heads of state who were members of the Schmalkaldic League met with several theologians at Schmalkalden to decide how to deal with a council of the Roman Catholic Church. Luther became ill and could not attend but John Frederick I presented Luther's articles to the gathering. Because of Luther's somewhat controversial doctrine of the Lord's Supper Philipp Melanchthon urged that the Augsburg Confession and its Apology previously presented to Emperor Charles V adequately presented the reformer's faith and that additional statements should not be added. This decision was adopted and the Schmalkaldic Articles were not officially accepted. They were however circulated and read and 44 theologians signed them as an expression of their personal faith. Subsequently they were included in the <em>Book of Concord</em> 1580.</p><p>The Schmalkaldic Articles are divided into three sections. The first discusses the unity of God the Trinity the Incarnation and Christ and on these subjects Luther believed there was no real controversy between Roman Catholics and Protestants. The second section dealt with Christ and justification by faith. According to Luther "<em>On this article rests all that we teach and practice against the pope the devil and the world.</em>" This section also discusses the mass monastic orders and the papacy. The third section discusses 15 articles that could be considered by Roman Catholics and Protestants. It includes such subjects as sin the Law repentance the sacraments confession the ministry and a definition of the church".</p><p>FRANCAIS</p><p><strong>Les articles de Smalkalde rédigés par Luther en 1536 en vue du concile de Mantoue.</strong></p><p>In-4 de 32 ff.

1966223481966. Martin Luther King Jr. Chicago King Jr. Martin Luther. Western Union telegram sent May 19 1966 supporting the Independent Union of Public Aid Employees during the Chicago Freedom Movement. The message documents King's public alignment with labor activism and welfare reform campaigns during his Northern civil rights organizing in Chicago where he sought to address structural inequality in housing employment and public assistance systems.<br /> <br /> Original telegram from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to the Independent Union of Public Aid Employees. May 19 1966. Western Union telegram. Chicago Illinois. Measures 8" x 5.5" unframed 12.5" x 9.5" framed. An extraordinary piece of civil rights ephemera this original 1966 Western Union telegram was sent by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and "the staff" to the Independent Union of Public Aid Employees IUPAE during the height of the Chicago Freedom Movement. The telegram reflects King's growing commitment to labor justice economic equality and Northern civil rights struggles supporting public labor unions engaged in collective social welfare reform.<br /> <br /> The telegram reads as follows:<br /> <br /> "CD199.=PD CHICAGO ILL 29 154P CDT.<br /> =INDEPENDENT UNION OF PUBLIC AID EMPLOYEES.=<br /> ATTN ALLEN KAPLAN PRES 26 WEST HARRISON CHGO.=<br /> <br /> ALL OF US HAVE BEEN PAYING CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT .=OF THE STRUGGLE IN WHICH YOU ARE NOW ENGAGED.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING MORE .=CLOSELY WITH YOU IN THE COMING MONTHS--FAITHFULLY.=<br /> <br /> DR MARTIN LUTHER KING JR AND THE STAFF.=="<br /> <br /> Sent on May 19 1966 this message directly coincides with King's relocation to Chicago in early 1966 to launch the Chicago Freedom Movement his most ambitious campaign to confront systemic racism in the urban North. Co-led by the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC and the Coordinating Council of Community Organizations CCCO the campaign sought to challenge racial segregation in housing employment discrimination and inequities in municipal services. King recognized that structural injustice in Northern cities was just as debilitating as the overt segregation of the South. The IUPAE a union representing frontline welfare workers had staged actions demanding not only better workplace conditions but also systemic reforms to a punitive welfare system that disproportionately affected Black and poor communities. By expressing solidarity with public employees fighting for "collective bargaining rights and a more humane welfare system" King extended his vision of the "Beloved Community" beyond civil rights into economic justice and labor rights themes that would define his final years. That same year King endured resistance not only from segregationists but also from local city officials including Mayor Richard J. Daley and endured physical threats during open housing marches in white neighborhoods like Marquette Park. His support for labor organizations particularly in Chicago foreshadowed the Poor People's Campaign and his final act of solidarity-marching with striking sanitation workers in Memphis in 1968.<br /> <br /> Overall very good condition with light toning and minor creasing to telegram. Framed under glass in black wood frame. A rare and powerful primary document linking Dr. King's Northern campaign for racial and economic justice with the struggles of organized labor a direct and material expression of King's belief that "all labor has dignity."and his "VISION OF A SOCIETY IN WHICH ALL MEN .ARE TREATED WITH JUSTICE". An exceptionally historic piece. unknown
1963149593Glen Rock NJ: Paulist Press 1963. Original printed pamphlet of Pope John XXIII's 1963 Pacem in Terris. Boldly signed by Martin Luther King Jr. at the bottom of the title page. Martin Luther King Jr. was a Baptist minister and activist who became the most visible spokesperson and leader in the civil rights movement from 1954 through 1968. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using the tactics of nonviolence and civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs and inspired by the nonviolent activism of Mahatma Gandhi. King led the 1955 Montgomery bus boycott and in 1957 became the first president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference SCLC. With the SCLC he led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany Georgia. Pope John's Pacem in Terris was issued on April 11 1963. The day after on April 12 King would be arrested for his nonviolent protesting against racism and racial segregation in Birmingham Alabama writing his Letter from Birmingham Jail on the 16th. Matted and framed. In fine condition. The piece measures 11.25 inches by 9.25 inches. Rare and desirable. Pope John XXIII’s 1963 encyclical Pacem in Terris “Peace on Earth†stands as one of the most influential Catholic social teachings of the twentieth century articulating a global moral framework grounded in human dignity universal rights and the ethical responsibilities of both individuals and states. Issued amid Cold War tensions and only months before his death the document broke new ground by addressing itself not only to Catholics but to “all people of good will†reflecting John XXIII’s broader ecumenical and humanitarian vision.

Binding solid interior overall clean and bright.<br /> <br /> <p>A well-preserved copy of a treatise by one of the most famous men in history. In 1521 Henry VIII of England published an attack on Martin Luther and defense of the Catholic Church that earned him the title "Defender of the Faith" from Pope Leo X. Henry's Assertio Septem Sacramentorum was swiftly translated into German and sold well on the Continent. Luther perceived a threat and published this furious response the following year mocking Henry''s new title and his qualification for the role. Henry himself would soon defy the Catholic Church after his demand for the annulment of his first marriage was rejected but he and Luther continued their acrimonious correspondence and never reconciled.

They published books from 1911 to 1939 interrupted only by World War I.

The text was based on the editions published in 1545 and 1546. The Bible German: Lutherbibel was the first German language Bible translation from Latin sources. The New Testament was first published in September 1522 and the complete Bible containing the Old and New Testaments with Apocrypha in 1534. Luther continued to make improvements to the text until 1545. The five volumes are: Die Bucher Mose; Teil des Alten Testaments; Teil des Alten Testaments; Die Propheten; Das Neue Testament. Each volume has a different copy number. They are bound uniformly in blue paper boards with linen spines with the title written in calligraphy. The volumes are housed in gray paper board slipcases.

Luther proceeds line by line some times giving one line from Matthew five pages of commentary! Here is a shortened example: from the greek. And His commentary. Benzing Luther 3011;VD 16; L 4754; Pegg Swis; 2988;. Here is a shortened example: from the greek. And His commentary.<br /> <br /> V. 3. Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.<br /> <br /> This is a delightful sweet and genial beginning of his sermon. For he does not come like Moses or a teacher of law with alarming and threatening demands; but in the most friendly manner with enticements and allurements and pleasant promises. And indeed if it had not been thus recorded and if the first uttered precious words of the Lord Christ had not been given to us all an over-curious spirit would tempt and impel everybody to run after them even to Jerusalem yes to the end of the world if one might hear but a word of it all. Then there would be plenty of money forthcoming to build a good road and every one would boastingly glory how he had heard or read the very words that the Lord Christ had spoken. O what a wonderfully happy man would he be held to be who should succeed in this! That is just the way it surely would be if we had none of our Savior's words written although much might have been written by others; and every one would say: Yes I hear indeed what St. Paul and his other apostles have taught but I would much rather hear what he himself said and preached. But now that it is so common that every one has it written in a book and can read it daily nobody regards it as something special and precious. Yes we grow tired of them and neglect them just as if not the high Majesty of heaven but some cobbler had uttered them. Therefore we are duly punished for our ingratitude and contemptuous treatment of these words by getting little enough from them and never feeling or tasting what a treasure force and power there is in the words of Christ. But he who has grace only to recognize them as the words of God and not of man will surely regard them as higher and more precious and never grow tired or weary of them.<br /> <br /> Kindly and sweet as this sermon is for Christians who are our Lord's disciples just so vexatious and intolerable is it for the Jews and their great saints. For he hits them a hard blow in the very beginning with these words rejects and condemns their doctrine and preaches the direct contrary; yes he denounces woe against their way of living and teaching as is shown in the sixth chapter of Luke. For the substance of their teaching was this: If it goes well with a man here upon earth he is happy and well off; that was all they aimed at that God should give them enough upon earth if they were pious and served him; as David says of them in Psalm 144: "Our garners are full affording all manner of store; our sheep bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our streets; our oxen are strong to labor; there is no breaking in or going out; there is no complaining in our streets.".

Uncommon in its first printing. <p>After the Diet of Augsburg Charles V gave Protestants six months to renounce the Evangelical reforms and return to the Catholic church or else face armed persecution. During this period a confederation of Protestant states dubbed The Schmalkaldic League was formed with the intention of defending themselves from the Empire's repression. Luther joined Philip Melanchthon and several other theologians at Torgau in signing a declaration in defense of the creation of an armed Protestant league something he had adamantly refused to do on multiple prior occasions. The Warnunge An Seine lieben Deudschen was composed as a theopolitical justification of this new declaration of the right to armed resistance at Torgau. In it Luther walks a fine dialectical line with one of the clearest practical applications of his Two Kingdoms doctrine: as a minister of the Gospel he must counsel peace and could not press for war; but neither would he reprove those who took up arms to defend themselves against tyranny.

"Theological and doctrinal disputes were to persist for the rest of Luther's career on issues such as the Eucharist or Lord's Supper: Heiliges Adendmahl and baptism both within the evangelical movement involving figures such as the sacramentarian Karlstadt and the Swiss reformers Ulrich Zwingli 1484-1531 and Johannes Oecolampadius 1482-1531 and outside it with the Anabaptists. On both issues Luther resisted the accounts of these sacraments as having a mere symbolic value often arguing that this viewpoint comes from an urge to put reason above the authority of scripture.

Martin Luther was a great admirer of Savonorola as a harbinger of the Protestant Reformation and was impressed by these pair of meditations the second of which was unfinished. The location of the publication-Wittenberg-is significant being associated with Martin Luther and considered the birthplace of the Protestant Reformation. Although "Meditopia" has no publisher listed a copy of the book is in the University of Warsaw with a contemporary hand-written publisher's name; Johann Rhau-Grunenberg 1508-1825 noted for publishing Martin Luther's earliest works including the Indulgences of 1517.

A good complete copy.<br /> <br /> Rare early nineteenth-century edition of the Bible in Luther's German translation published in Pennsylvania. Apart from the 1828 New Testament very few copies of any of the Luther Bible editions published by Johann Georg Ritter 1772-1840 at Philadelphia between 1826 and 1829 survive. In his 1893 pioneering work The First Century of German Printing in America Oswald Seidensticker locates no complete Luther Bibles and only two editions of the New Testament which were published by Ritter in 1826 304 pages and 1828 541 pages. These were of course often bound with the Old Testament along with their full title-page. The 1828 New Testament is the only portion of Ritter's biblical editions that is widely held in institutional libraries. Expanding upon the work of Seidensticker the editors of The first Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America 1989 assign only four Luther Bible editions Old and New Testaments bound together to Ritter one in 1827 and three in 1829. OCLC however locates Luther Bible editions published by Ritter in all four years between 1826 and 1829. A careful comparison of the paginations reveals that Ritter's Luther Bibles appeared in several variants. The 1827 edition was re-issued in 1829 as a "Zweyte Auflage" with 20 additional pages of preparatory material immediately preceding the Old Testament. Variants of the present edition also appeared in which the Apocrypha 160 pages was separately paginated. Some surviving copies lack the Apocrypha and only contain the 936 pages of the Old Testament. Our careful review of OCLC locates only sixteen surviving copies of Ritter's Luther Bibles containing both the Old and New Testaments published between 1826 and 1829. Twenty-four copies of the separately bound 1828 New Testament have survived as well. The only two copies of our 1827 edition have been located: the University of Waterloo and the Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek. The results of our census are appended below.<br /> <br /> Johann Georg Ritter appears to have begun his career in Reading Pennsylvania where he printed two German-language works for the firm of William M'Carty and Davis in Philadelphia: Geschichte des americanischen Kriegs von 1812 1817; Hoch-Deutsches reformirtes A B C-und Namen-Büchlein für Kinder welche anfangen zu lernen 1818. He later moved to Philadelphia and set up his own shop Der Deutsche-europäischen Buch- und Kunsthandlung. Sammlung religiöser deutscher Gesaenge which he edited along with J. G. Schmauk was published in 1824 and has been tentatively attributed to Ritter after his move to Philadelphia; Karl Rudolph Demme's Letzte ehre des Christlichen Predigers in einer Christlichen Gemeine Philadelphia 1825 is the earliest work to appear under his imprint. He catered chiefly to the German-speaking Reformed community with religious works sermons and elementary school texts. He briefly published in 1825 a periodical edited by Johann Carl Gossler Philadelphier Magazin für Freunde der deutschen Literatur in Amerika.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Stamp of Library of United Theological Seminary at title.
