1991ST20505-14Los Angeles: Printed and bound by Pall Bohne for Dawson's Book Shop 1991. ONE OF 60 COPIES. 65 x 45 mm. 2 1/2 x 1 3/4". 20 pp. 1 leaf. <br/> Quarter red leather over patterned paper boards flat spine lettered in gilt Dutch gilt endpapers.<br /> With a leaf from the Kleine Print miniature bible containing an excellent engraving of Jezebel and Jehu from 2 Kings 9. DeHamel and Silver "Disbound and Dispersed" 196.5. See also: Welsh 938; Spielmann 280. The book in mint condition the inserted leaf just slightly browned at edges but fine and fresh.<br/> <br/> This charming little leaf book pays tribute to a very rare miniature Bible published around 1750 in The Hague. Composed entirely of engravings printed on one side only the work is a masterpiece of small-scale printing. In the words of the Spielmann Catalogue "Many of the scenes depicted in the original Bible are of astounding beauty considering the tiny scale upon which the artist had to work." The genesis of the present leaf book was the acquisition by the noted miniature book collector Ruth E. Adomeit 1910-96 of a fragment of 61 leaves from this Bible which she obtained during a European trip in 1953. Our copy contains an engraving showing the meeting between the military commander Jehu and the wicked Queen Jezabel which ends with Jezebel's being thrown from a window by her eunuchs. We see her mid-fall and upside down in the present image while Jehu watches triumphantly from his chariot. Not surprisingly given its small print run this item is not commonly seen for sale.

A very good copy.Inscribed by the author as no doubt all copies were. A very early prophecy of the coming to power of a worldwide matriarchy. From the anonymous introduction - Never before-as far as I know-has Woman's exalted place in God's creation so graphically and powerfully been portrayed; her potentialities for the re-generation of the race set forth. After showing the importance of woman's place in the processes of natural generation the writer proceeds with inexorable logic to demonstrate that man's re-generation is is in Woman's power that Re=Generated Woman is the manifestation of the Great-Ovum of the Virgin Mother and that Woman holds the Spiritual-unfoldment of the race in her hands.Or as Ruth Van Saun puts it: What a joy to dream of and a greater joy to be privileged to live in the coming Woman-Rule Age. The Wise Ones teach; We are now outgrowing the fifth-root race of the Patriarchate -Age which unmasked means the Man-Rule Age or "The Iron Age" - the age of the so-called Hierarchy the Savants the Lords and Rulers who have suppressed the mass-people and kept them in ignorance; the age that established a false standard of the inferiority of woman which has robbed woman of her God-given rights. We are now evolving into the sixth-root race or the Matriarchate-Age which unmasked means the Woman-Rule Age. or The Golden Age. Wise ones teach that the golden or woman-rule age will last for over 2000 years until the year $041. Privately Printed hardcover
