Ludwig Lavater thus worked within the circle of his father-in-law Heinrich Bullinger both based in Zurich. At that time German-speaking Switzerland was predominantly Lutheran and hostile to Geneva and Calvin undertook a major agreement to unify Swiss Protestantism resulting in the Consensus Tigurinus signed by Calvin and Bullinger on behalf of Zurich. The gathering of these three theological works symbolically represents the unity of Swiss Protestantism setting it apart from Lutheranism. The first commentary book to establish a chronicle of events and genealogies within the Paralipomena. The second work is Calvins commentary on the Book of Daniel while the third offers an exegesis of the Apocalypse according to the Revelation of Christ.

1929184433New York: Cosmopolitan Book Corporation 1929. Shepherding America through the Roaring Twenties Signed limited edition number 408 of 1000 copies signed by the 30th President together with a typed letter signed by Coolidge. Coolidge's memoirs chart his rise from a lawyer to Massachusetts governor vice-president and finally president. Coolidge's emphasis on low taxes and laissez-faire economics fuelled the Roaring Twenties. While some blame these policies as leading to the 1929 Crash he remains an icon for the American conservative movement; Ronald Reagan placed his portrait in the White House Cabinet Room. The letter dated 28 February 1927 reads: "My dear Miss Hill my attention has called to the splendid efforts you are making to raise sufficient funds for the Social Service Department of the New York Memorial Hospital. I have placed the matter before Congress and both Houses have unanimously passed a bill for an appropriation that will enable you to increase your Staff of nurses by ten new workers". Octavo.

159290388Geneva: Apud Iohannem le Preux 1592. Rare early printing of Calvin's seminal work on systematic theology and one of the most influential works of Protestant theology. Folio bound in full contemporary vellum with a burgundy spine label lettered in gilt elaborate woodcut printer's device to the title page woodcut headpiece and initial to the first page of text. In near fine condition with ownership inscriptions to the front free endpaper. An exceptional example. One of the most influential works of Protestant theology John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion was first published in Latin in 1536 at the same time as Henry VIII of England's Dissolution of the Monasteries and soon in his native French language in 1541 with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 Latin and in 1560 French. Calvin published the work with the intention of publishing an introductory textbook on the Protestant creed covering a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty. Throughout the work Calvin vigorously attacked the religious teachings he considered unorthodox particularly Roman Catholicism which he was previously strongly devoted to before his conversion into Protestantism. Institutes in its first form was not merely an exposition of Reformation doctrine; it proved the inspiration to a new form of Christian life for many. It is indebted to Martin Luther in the treatment of faith and sacraments to Martin Bucer in what is said of divine will and predestination and to the later scholastics for teaching involving unsuspected implications of freedom in the relation of church and state.

197116332JNew York: Viking Press 1971. First Edition First Printing with an original Gerald Murphy letter. The book is the story of Gerald and Sara Murphy the noted American expatriates. Review copy with the publisher’s dated notice information sheet and two photographs of Gerald and Sara Murphy. Ownership signature of Madge Clancy. Fine in a very good dust jacket with a couple of tears. Laid in is an excellent Autograph Letter Signed from Gerald Murphy on his printed Palisades New York stationery with matching printed envelope. Dated March 23 1953 Murphy writes to Madge Clancy discussing Gerard Manley Hopkins and Archibald MacLeish. “It is so gratifying to that you enjoyed the books on Gerard Manley Hopkins. Mine has been lonely enthusiasm as with one’s imagination is caught by him or not - and there is no interpreting him for another person. Moreover I dislike founding a cult on a poet. Certainly there is not all the nourishment one needs in his poetry - but I am so grateful for the test he puts our language to and the freshness he brings to words.†Murphy then goes on to discuss his long time friend poet Archibald MacLeish “.Mr. MacLeish read us his new poems last summer but I have not yet read them to myself. I shall be interested in doing so in light of what you say about two of them. In a way having lived through him: his persistence through the lean years that followed; his seductions into politics and now his enthusiasm for teaching the aspiring writer through his Boylston Professorship; I find it hard to judge his poetry as such. Sometimes I feel it isn’t poetry really except in flashes - but rather almost a synthetic intellectual equivalent.†Viking Press unknown

The cover design here is identical to that on a folio edition of the Psalms pictured in figure 67 of Jan Storm van Leeuwen's "Dutch Decorated Bookbinding in the Eighteenth Century." According to that work the Baroque Flower Bindery was active in The Hague between 1778 and 1783; the Dutch Royal Library Koninklijke Bibliotheek holds four bindings executed there. One is the folio Psalms mentioned above and the others are presentation bindings. The Baroque Flower Bindery used some tools that had been employed by an earlier Hague workshop known as the Flower Bindery fl. ca. 1751-80 and its tools including the flower basket used here later turned up on bindings by Cornelius A. Matthijs fl. ca. 1795-1801 indicating the way artisans and their tools migrated from one workshop to another. The text here is the second Dutch translation of the magnum opus of John Calvin 1509-64. First published in Latin in 1536 and in Dutch translated by Carolus Agricola in 1578 the present work sets forth the tenets of Calvin's theology. In the words of Britannica the "interpretation of Christianity advanced above all in his . . . 'Institutes of the Christian Religion' and the institutional and social patterns he worked out for Geneva deeply influenced Protestantism elsewhere in Europe and in North America. The Calvinist form of Protestantism is widely thought to have had a major impact on the formation of the modern world." The four parts of this work--covering Knowledge of God the Creator Knowledge of God the Redeemer Christ the Way to Obtain the Grace of Christ and the True Church and Articles of Faith--are supplemented in this edition by Calvin's "Supplication" calling for reform of the Catholic Church. Britannica notes that "the 'Institutes' also reflected the findings of Calvin's massive biblical commentaries" and that influence is epitomized in the fine portrait of the great Reformer in his library by Cornelis Visscher 1629-58. Calvin stands at his desk a copy of the "Institutio" open in his hands the Geneva Bible and his many commentaries on Scripture displayed on his desk and bookshelves. It is a scene that shows the gentler scholarly side of Calvin who is more often depicted as a stern ascetic zealot. RBH seems to list no other bindings by the Baroque Flower Bindery at auction.
