1936 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT HOMAGE TO GERMAN PATRIOTISM HEROIC SONGS AND BATTLES LONG FORGOTTEN BY A BELIEVED BELGIAN SERVING IN THE GERMAN ARMY TITLED 'FAHRT: LIEDER UND BILDER'

19360001914EUSKIRCHEN GERMANY. Good. 1936. On offer is a superb 1936 manuscript relic titled 'Fahrt: Lieder und Bilder' being one German soldier's patriotic paean to forgotten German wars and heroic songs. Handwritten by Jacob Winkel in Euskirchen Germany the soldier presents a very historical German perception of war and the songs of conquerors. This soldier had a passion for the very historical Lion of Brabant which has a history dating back to the 11th century. This may also be a clue to his background as in WWII the Brabant Lion was associated moreso with the Flemish Lion which is understandable as many Belgium produced many troops and even SS soldiers for Germany. They were incredibly anti-communist so most went to serve at the Russian Front. There are more contemporary and lost songs all in the context of the upcoming World War II. The notebook has 26 well filled pages and is illustrated by hand with historical notes which include the drawing of the sword and the harp with the words Platoff refers to Count Platoff general in chief; Hetman of the Don Cossacks refers to Matvei Platov who was the leader of the Don Cossacks and a feared commander of cavalry. Platov's tactics became famous in the 1812 French invasion of Russia when his men lived off the land and constantly harried the much stronger French forces. Using the harsh Russian winter to its best advantage Platov continually punished the beleaguered French infantry on its retreat from Moscow. There is a real photo postcard tucked in the notebook which we can assume was the author himself. A note on the back which we cannot translate may confirm. Overall the 7½ x 5 inch book is G.; Manuscript; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF JACOB WINKEL EUSKIRCHEN GERMAN GERMANY GERMANIC PATRIOTIC SONGS HEROIC SONGS BRABANT LION PRE WORLD WAR II WWII WW1 FAHRT: LIEDER UND BILDER HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento manuscrito Papel . unknown

Genf 1731. 2.686 Seiten auf 29 Mikrofiches. "Il compilait compilait compilait!" "Unter diesen fiktiven aber durchaus treffenden Leitsatz stellte ein Kritiker des 19. Jahrhunderts rückblickend das Lebenswerk des Genfer Arztes Jean-Jacques Manget. Tatsächlich eröffnen die "Bibliothecae" Mangets bereits von ihrem Umfang her eine ganz neue Dimension in der Geschichte der medizinischen Lexikographie. In 18 großformatigen und teilweise mehr als tausend Seiten umfassenden Bänden wurde hier dem Leser ein umfassender Überblick über das medizinische Wissen der Zeit vermittelt unter Einschluß der "Hilfswissenschaften" Anatomie Al- Chemie Pharmazie und medizinische Bücherkunde. Neu und auch für die Geschichte der medizinischen Lexikographie in der Folgezeit einzigartig ist zugleich die kompilatorische Anlage des Werks. Manget bemühte sich nicht wie dies später bei Enzyklopädien dieses Umfangs üblich und notwendig war um die Mitarbeit von Kollegen sondern bezeichnete seine "Bibliothecae" stolz als sein eigenes Werk; lediglich für die "Bibliotheca anatomica" von 1685 firmiert Daniel Le Clerc als Mitverfasser. Um sein umfangreiches lexikographisches Unternehmen bewältigen zu können entschloß sich Manget zu einem anderen Verfahren: seine Mitautoren waren fast alle bereits tot und die Beiträge die er in seine "Bibliothecae" aufnahm waren weitestgehend für andere Zwecke verfaßt worden selbst wenn sie von lebenden Zeitgenossen stammten die diese bloß zum Abdruck zur Verfügung stellten. Nur sehr begrenzt gelangte auch bisher unveröffentlichtes Material zum Abdruck vereinzelt Manuskripte von Kollegen und aus der Feder Mangets einleitende oder Textauszüge überbrückende Passagen sowie Beiträge die er selbst zu manchen Gegenständen verfaßte. Die große Masse des Textes aber bilden oft recht ausgedehnte Ausschnitte und zuweilen sogar vollständige Abhandlungen anderer insbesondere früherer Autoren die Manget in geeigneter Weise zusammenstellte. Entscheidende logistische Grundlage für diese Kompilationen war die recht ausgedehnte Sammlung medizinischer Werke an deren Aufbau sich Manget als erfolgreicher und entsprechend wohlhabender praktischer Arzt in Genf recht intensiv bemühte; allein der "Bibliotheca anatomica" lagen rund 80 verschiedene anatomische Traktate zu Grunde. In der heutigen Situation müßte Mangets Vorgehen selbstverständlich als ziemlich absurd erscheinen und Ähnliches hätte schon für das ausgehende 18. Jahrhundert gegolten: angesichts des immer stärker beschleunigten Zuwachses an medizinischen Erkenntnissen und Erfahrungen wäre eine derart verfaßte medizinische Enzyklopädie bereits bei ihrem Erscheinen hoffnungslos veraltet und unbrauchbar. In der Zeit um 1700 aber hatte ein solches Werk durchaus auch seine wissenschaftliche Berechtigung. Medizinisches Wissen war damals noch weit überwiegend Buchwissen und stützte sich auf das Gewicht einer jahrhundertealten Tradition. Wenn auch allmählich an einzelnen Orten eine praktische klinische Ausbildung das Medizinstudium zu ergänzen begann so gründete ärztliches Handeln und der wissenschaftliche Anspruch der Medizin doch weiterhin vor allem in der eingehenden Kenntnis der medizinischen Literatur - daher auch die Bedeutung der medizinischen Bücherkunde. Mangets eigener Lebensweg veranschaulicht dies sogar in besonders plastischer Weise hatte er doch zunächst auf Wunsch seiner Eltern Theologie studiert sich anschließend sein medizinisches Wissen ausschließlich im Selbststudium aus Büchern erworben und ohne ordentliches Studium auf der Grundlage dieses Selbststudiums 1678 in Valence die medizinische Doktorwürde erlangt. Lediglich Anatomie und Physiologie bildeten in Hinsicht auf diese geringe Innovationsgeschwindigkeit eine gewisse Ausnahme denn hier hatte gerade das 17. Jahrhundert zahlreiche neue Entdeckungen gebracht. Folgerichtig führt Mangets und Le Clercs "Bibliotheca anatomica" hier fast aus- schließlich Werke der jüngeren und jüngsten Zeit an. Auf die anerkannte Brauchbarkeit und Nützlichkeit von Mangets "Bibliothecae" für den gelehrten Arzt des ausgehenden 17. und frühen 18. Jahrhunderts verweist im übrigen nicht zuletzt der offenbar beachtliche Verkaufserfolg den die einzelnen Teile des Werkes trotz des großen Umfangs und des damit zwangsläufig einhergehenden hohen Preises erzielten. Die "Bibliotheca anatomica" die "Bibliotheca medico-practica" und die "Bibliotheca pharmaceutico-medica" erschienen jeweils in zwei Auflagen oder Ausgaben. Von der "Bibliotheca anatomica" ist zudem eine englischsprachige gekürzte Fassung in drei Bänden aus dem Jahr 1711 überliefert und von der "Bibliotheca chemica curiosa" ein deutschsprachiger Auszug von C. Horlacher aus dem Jahr 1707. Nur bei den beiden letzten Werken der "Bibliotheca chirurgica" und der "Bibliotheca scriptorum medicorum" blieb es also bei einer einzigen Auflage. Inwieweit Manget von vornherein plante die gesamte Medizin im Rahmen einer - wie er später wörtlich formulierte - "Encyclopaedia medica integra" zu behandeln ist rückblickend nicht mehr mit Sicherheit zu klären. Es fällt auf daß die "Bibliotheca anatomica" von 1685 noch nicht der lexikatypischen alphabetischen Anordnung folgt sondern vielmehr eher im Sinne eines anatomischen Lehrbuchs nach dem Vorbild der älteren anatomischen Literatur den menschlichen Körper von Kopf bis Fuß behandelt; und auch die "Bibliotheca chemica curiosa" von 1702 verzichtet auf eine Angleichung an die in den anderen Werken benutzte "forma Dictionarium" wofür allerdings ein alphabetischer Index entschädigt. Beide Werke bilden also insofern einen gewissen Fremdkörper im Gesamtkonzept dieses Archivs wurden aber aus Gründen der Vollständigkeit und weil auch Manget sie als Teil seiner Gesamtenzyklopädie begriff und auf sie zurückverwies mitreproduziert. Für den historisch interessierten heutigen Leser und Benutzer erweisen sich Mangets Bibliothecae in mehrerlei Hinsicht als nützliches Hilfsmittel. Obschon viele Schriften die hier von Manget zusammengestellt wurden zumindest schon etwas älteren Datums waren spiegeln sie doch in der Regel das autoritative medizinische Wissen um 1700 wenn auch mit gewissen Widersprüchen im Detail als Ausdruck eines wachsenden medizinischen Pluralismus. So bieten die Bände in ihrer Gesamtheit ein einmalig umfassendes und getreues Abbild der zeitgenössischen Medizin und zwar dank zahlreicher Fallgeschichten und konkreter Handlungsanweisungen durchaus auch in praktischer Hinsicht. Gleichzeitig findet der Leser in oft sehr ausführlichen Auszügen wenn nicht gar vollständig abgedruckt in einer verhältnismäßig handlichen Zusammenstellung und in klarer thematischer Anordnung zahlreiche Traktate der abendländischen medizinischen Literatur aus der Zeit vor 1700. Manche davon zählen heute wie W. Harveys "Exercitatio de motu sanguinis" zu den Klassikern der medizinischen Literatur und sind in diversen Ausgaben leicht erhältlich. Andere von Manget herangezogene Werke aber von bekannten und weniger bekannten Autoren verfaßt sind heute vielerorts wenn überhaupt nur unter großen Schwierigkeiten zugänglich. Gewiß wird zumindest der professionelle Historiker nach Möglichkeit stets das Original vorziehen oder Mangets Extrakte zumindest anhand des Originals kontrollieren wollen. Doch selbst ihm erleichtern Mangets Kompilationen auf jeden Fall den thematischen Zugriff auch auf seltenere Werke erlauben eine erste und durchaus ins Detail gehende Orientierung über deren Inhalte und werden im Falle vieler weniger verbreiteter Werke die Suche nach geeigneten Quellen erheblich erleichtern. Die vier Bände der "Bibliotheca seriptorum medicorum vetorum et recentiorum" schließlich erscheinen wenn auch damals durchaus als praktisches Hilfsmittel für den wissenschaftlich gebildeten tätigen Arzt konzipiert nach heutigem Verständnis ohnehin von vornherein als historiographisches Instrument. Mit gut 4.000 Einträgen handelt es sich um die erste umfassende Bio-Bibliographie der führenden insbesondere literarisch hervorgetretenen Ärzte der abendländischen Medizingeschichte. Auch zahlreiche heute kaum mehr vertraute Namen finden sich hier verzeichnet und das Werk kann heute noch als wichtiger Fundbehelf bei der Identifizierung unbekannter Autoren Werke und Auflagen dienen. Daß in diesem Pionierwerk wie spätere Kritiker wiederholt anmahnten so manche Eintragung noch lücken- oder fehlerhaft war muß dabei freilich - darauf sei hier noch warnend hingewiesen - in Kauf genommen werden."

HIROSHIMA - LIMITED EDITION SIGNED

6306New York: The Limited Editions Club 1983. Limited Edition. A masterful production by The Limited Editions Club of Hersey's 1946 book chronicling the stories of six survivors of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Hersey's work comprised the entirety of the August 31 1946 issue of The New Yorker and was subsequently published in book format a few months later by Alfred A. Knopf. In addition to a new afterword by the author and a poem by Robert Penn Warren "New Dawn: Hiroshima" this edition features eight full-page silkscreen prints by renown African American painter Jacob Lawrence. In his artist's note he mentioned going into mental retreat after reading the book. "Because this book is such a strong statement of man's inhumanity to man I found this work to be a most challenging book to illustrate. In my attempt to meet the challenge I read and reread Hiroshima several times and in doing so I began to see the great devastation in the twisted and mutilated bodies of humans birds fishes and all the other animals and living things that inherit our earth. The flora and the fauna and the land that were at one time alive were now seared mangled deformed and devoid of life. And I thought what have we accomplished over these many centuries We have produced great geniuses in music the sciences the arts dance literature architecture and oratory among many other disciplines. And we have in the meantime developed the means to destroy in a most horrible manner that life that is our God-given right." LEC Bibliography No.535.
