TYPED LETTER SIGNED in MAGHREBI SCRIPT by PRINCE ABDULLAH BEN MOHAMMAD of MOROCCO.

197197383Rabat Morocco August 16 1971. 1971. - Over 140 words typed in French on the Prince's 8-1/4 inch high by 6-1/8 inch wide royal stationery with a crown above Maghrebi script printed in indigo at top right. In his letter addressed to Vice President Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer Prince Moulay Abdallah of Morocco requests that Art Sohmer convey his warm regards and thanks to the Vice President for sending him a physical therapist "Je vous prie de transmettre a Monsieur le Vice-President S. AGNEW mes chaleureux remerciements pour la delicate attention qu'il a eue a mon egard en depechant aupres de moi un reeducateur". Vice President Agnew visited King Hassan II of Morocco on July 25th 1971 only a couple weeks after the attempted coup during which Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco was wounded. The prince goes on to praise the skills and personality of the therapist which the Vice President had sent him and apologizes for not having been able to attend the dinner which the American Ambassador had hosted in the Vice President's honor. He further expresses his thanks to Art Sohmer for the latter's own personal contribution and gesture of friendship: "Je tiens a vous remercier pour votre contribution personnelle a ce geste si amical qui m'a particulierement touche". Signed by Prince Moulay Abdullah in Maghrebi script. The letter is creased at the corners and stapled to the original mailing envelope with the oval red ink seal of the prince's "Secretariat Particulier" with the prince's name above the image of the Prince's crown. The envelope also bear's the Office of the Vice President's blue stamp. The Department of State's stamp together with the October 14th date is stamped in blue on the verso of the letter. Penciled at the top left of the letter is a request for a translation likely written by Art Sohmer: "State: Translation & suggested reply if appropriate".Accompanying Prince Moulay Abdullah's letter which was written in French is an official "Office of the Vice President / Referral" form addressed to Mr. James L. Carson director of the State Department's Secretarial Staff. This form dated October 12 1971 and signed by Major P.D. Slack the Marine Corps Aide to the Vice President requests that the letter be translated for Art Sohmer and the Vice President's benefit. The translation typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Department of State Division of Language Services" letterhead accompanies the letter. A referral number is stamped at the top of the Prince's letter as well as at the top of the referral form and the translation references this number. The brother of King Hassan II of Morocco Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco 1935-1983 was married to Lamia Solh the daughter of Lebanon's first Prime Minister. On July 10 1971 General Mohamed Medbouh who was disillusioned by King Hassan's light treatment of staff members who were shown to have been shaking down foreign companies and convinced that the King may himself be involved led a coup attempt. Conspiring with other military officers Medbouh enlisted a force of 1200 cadets to storm the palace during the King's birthday reception where according to different sources between 400 to 800 guests were present. 92 people were killed in the attempted coup and many more injured including Prince Moulay Abdullah Ben Mohammad. Royalist troops overcame the rebels killing more than a hundred cadets and capturing another 900 and their officers. Two weeks later on July 25 1971 Vice President Agnew visited Morocco. In his book "Hunting the President: Threats Plots and Assassination Attempts." Mel Ayton quotes Chuck Vance who served on President Ford's protective detail and who described the risks of foreign visits by U.S. Presidents & Vice Presidents: "There's going to be some razzle dazzle so people aren't quite clear who to attack. They'll have military personnel everywhere: frogmen ships and aircraft. I called in a whole naval fleet one time in a Moroccan visit for Vice President Agnew because of political uncertainties" no doubt referring to this visit. It was during this visit that Agnew referred or sent the physical therapist to the Prince. Prince Moulay Abdullah who was a favorite of his father passed away from cancer in 1983 at the age of 48. Stade Moulay Abdullah stadium was named after him.Spiro T. Agnew 1918-1996 was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon.

1622ST20888Munich: N. Henricus 1622. First Edition in German. 160 x 100 mm. 6 1/4 x 4". 16 p.l. 699 3 pp. Translated from the Latin by Sebastian Äntzenhover. UNUSUAL AND QUITE BEAUTIFUL CONTEMPORARY GERMAN DARK RED MOROCCO GILT covers with gilt fillet border central panel with onlaid corner pieces and centerpiece of black morocco stamped in relief to an Ottoman-inspired design of flowering vines raised bands spine panels with gilt centerpiece two leather straps with silver clasps and catches all edges gilt. Title page with engraving of the Tower of Babel. Top half inch of title page cut away to remove owner inscription. VD17 12:103845E; USTC 2019170. A touch of bowing to boards spine a little crackled joints and extremities a bit rubbed occasional small round marginal marks apparently made with wax! and presumably meant to indicate textual importance other trivial imperfections but an excellent copy clean and fresh in an unrestored binding with lustrous boards glistening with gilt. This rare work on sinning through the use of wicked words is offered here in a lovely binding that is quite out of the ordinary for its time and place and that may well have a very noble provenance. "Spiritual Tongues: That is a Salutary Treatise Concerning the Poisonous Tongue of Man--How to Guard Against and Remedy It" is an examination of the sins committed through speaking written by Munich Jesuit Johannes Pelecyus 1545–1623 and first printed in Latin in 1620. Pelecyus addresses the evils of gossip slander indiscretion cursing mocking and other injurious speech. The first part of the work is a general overview of the topic from a theological standpoint while the second part is a more practical guide to types of harmful speech and specific remedies for avoiding and correcting these offenses. Pelecyus concludes with a poem "The Devil's Disease and its Remedy." The binding here is remarkable in terms of its material makeup and the conjectural origin of its design. In the first part of the 17th century morocco was not commonly used by German binders who preferred sturdier pigskin particularly for treatises like this which could be expected to see much use poisonous tongues have long been a fact of life and in need of being frequently read about. Morocco was generally reserved for presentation copies or ceremonial liturgical works. In addition to the material the decoration here is unusually lavish for a text of this sort with onlays gilt adornment and silver clasps that required time and skill from the artisan and considerable expense for the patron. Significantly the lovely relief centerpiece design on the boards here also appears on the covers of a Book of Hours originally created for Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I 1459-1519. That volume was later acquired by another similarly named owner Duke Maximilian I of Bavaria and is now to be found in the Bavarian State Library: shelfmark BSB 2 L.impr.membr. 64. It is certainly well within the realm of possibility that our later Maximilian 1573-1651 could have owned the present poisoned tongue volume and had it dressed in its elaborate morocco attire in imitation of the original binding design on the emperor’s prayer book. Whoever was responsible for the binding they surely did extremely fine work and no doubt for an elite clientele. One other curious feature of this volume is the series of round wax dollops made in the margins which an owner the fastidious second Maximilian has used to mark passages of interest in the text. While they don't materially affect the value of the volume they are intriguing in that they inevitably call up images for us of a careful early reader systematically marking with some kind of unknown implement the parts of the text that seemed important. "Spiritual Tongues" is a rare work: USTC and OCLC find just four copies outside Germany none of them in North America and we could trace just one copy sold at auction. N. Henricus unknown

1772ST18628bBirminghamiae: Typis Joannis Baskerville 1772. First Baskerville Edition. 310 x 260 mm. 11 7/8 x 9 3/4". 1 p.l. 200 221-372 pp. but complete. SUPERB CONTEMPORARY RED MOROCCO LAVISHLY GILT IN THE STYLE OF DEROME covers with wide dentelle frame composed of botanical elements and many small tools raised bands spines gilt in compartments with central floral sprig surrounded by acorns flowers stars and dots volute cornerpieces green morocco labels gilt turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Front pastedowns with engraved bookplate of P. Dupont and with morocco heraldic book label. Gaskell 44. ◆A breath of rubbing to extremities title page a little browned final page a bit foxed other trivial imperfections but AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY internally clean smooth and bright and in a sparkling binding. This is the impressive quarto edition of a trio of great Roman love poets in a premier binding befitting the elegant printing. In a sheet dated 1760 which Baskerville issued appended to a specimen of his folio Bible the printer discusses his proposed "Baskerville Classics": "Many gentlemen" he says "have wished to see a sett of the Classicks . . . in the Manner Letter and Paper of the 'Virgil' already published" and he vows to print the same with the poetical classics first. The present items are from what turned out to be seven Baskerville quarto printings of the classics mostly done late in the printer's career but according to Reed bearing "the marks of unabated genius." These volumes says Reed would "suffice had Baskerville printed nothing else to distinguish him as the first typographer of his time." In the present works the stately typography the luxurious paper textured but feeling rather like vellum and the spacious design combine to give the reader a particularly gratifying feeling of strength and serenity. The extraordinarily smooth surface of our leaves provides a tactile experience not available from any other 18th century printer Bodoni included. The beautiful binding here is unsigned but is clearly the product of a first-rate workshop; while it is not uncommon to see a volume from the Baskerville quartos in a decorative contemporary binding the present one would have a place in the front row of any assemblage.

TITI LIVII PATAVINI HISTORIARUM AB URBE CONDITA LIBRI QUI SUPERSUNT XXXV

1775ST17825Paris: Joseph-Gérard Barbou rue Mathurins 1775. 163 x 96 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 3/4". Seven volumes. Edited by J. N. Lallemand; preface by Jean Baptiste Louis Crévier. EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY GREEN ARMORIAL MOROCCO perhaps by Derome covers with triple gilt rule border central gilt coat of arms of the Blanche family featuring a seated fox with one paw raised above it a row of three five-pointed stars smooth spine divided into compartments containing a gilt lyre surrounded by stars and dots floral sprigs at corners volume number within a laurel wreath gilt lettering marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With printer's two-swans device on title pages volume I with frontispiece portrait engraved by L. J. Cathelin after J. C. Philips. With pencilled note on front flyleaf attributing the binding to Derome. Brunet III 1108 "Edition estimée"; Dibdin II 171. For the binding: Olivier Pl. 2279. ◆Spines slightly and uniformly sunned very light shelf wear to bindings occasional faint foxing in volume IV but A SUPERB SET almost entirely absent of any signs of use. This is a fine-paper copy in a binding both charming and handsome of what Dibdin deems "a truly beautiful and accurate edition" of Livy's Roman history. Brunet called it an "esteemed edition" and notes that fine paper copies like the present set sold for twice what regular copies cost. First printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1469 the "Histories" of Titius Livius Patavani 59 B.C. - 17 A.D. follow the rise of Rome from the founding of the city through its triumphs in the Punic Wars and up through the reign of the author's contemporary emperor Augustus. His account is notable for its emphasis on the glorious triumphs and accounts of heroism of the Romans stemming in his eyes from their virtue; his history is intended not just to inform but also to elevate the reader. The present edition according to Dibdin builds on the fine editions edited by Crevier and Drakenborch incorporating their useful notes and additions. It was beautifully printed by Joseph-Gérard Barbou 1723-90 scion of a family that had begun printing in Lyon in 1529 moving to Paris in 1540. Joseph apparently specialized in Latin classics producing editions of Cicero Lucretius Pliny Caesar and Martial among others. The fine binding here does not have Derome's ticket but is well executed enough to make the attribution written in at front plausible. There were no fewer than 18 members of the Derome family not to mention workshop associates who made their livings as binders in Paris from the middle of the 17th century until the first quarter of the 19th. Our binding is tasteful--perfect for a scholarly edition of a classic--and conceivably the work of one of the Deromes or of an extremely competent associate. Olivier attributes our armorial stamp to the 18th century Blanche family of Burgundy and he finds it on a copy of Barbou's 1771 Sallust in the library of Madame la Comtesse de Cossé. The "country house" condition of the present set suggests an aristocratic owner more concerned with owning fine books than with reading them. [Joseph-Gérard] Barbou, rue Mathurins unknown
