ISBN: 0195053613 "Eugenics is the branch of biology concerned with the improvement of hereditary qualities in humans. It draws scientists into direct contact with social and political policy makers. Yet eugenic movements which have been mainly implemented by politicians often differ significantly from the original aims of the scientists. The four contributors to this volume examine the eugenic movements in Germany France Brazil and the Soviet Union. The scientific components of those programmes are considered alongside the social religious and political forces which significantly altered the original scientific goals. The book opens up new and comparative perspectives on the history of eugenics and the social aspects of science in general." – Publisher.

Richard and Mary Rouse in their fundamental article 'The Verbal Concordance to the Scriptures' Archivum Fratrum Praedicatorum 44 1974 5-30 have shown that three attempts were then made to produce such a concordance all seemingly at St. Jacques. It was the third of these to which the name of Conrad of Halberstadt was later erroneously attached by Trithemius that won the day and obtained the largest diffusion. Over eighty manuscripts of this version survive the majority written in Paris between 1280 and 1330" Paul Meyvaert and Serge Lusignan review of Novae concordantiae Bibliorum Sacrorum iuxta vulgatam versionem by Bonifatius Fischer in: Speculum Vol. 56 No. 3 July 1981 pp. 611-613. <br/><br/>Johannes Mentelin had published the first printed Bible in German in 1466 and Nicolaus de Lyra's Postilla super totam Bibliam a commentary on the Bible in 1472. Of the approximately 40 works ascribed to his press the Concordantiae bibliorum is notable as "very peculiar in its method of signature and shows in an interesting manner the transitional period between the manuscript and printed methods of signing" William Blades "The Use & Development of Signatures in Books" in: Books in Chains and Other Bibliographical Papers 1892 pp. 110-112. The signatures mostly preserved in this copy are printed in the lower right corner. The text is divided in quarters and designated with stamped signatures "a" through "d". The copy in Leipzig UB has a rubricator's date of 1474 establishing the latest possible year of publication. <br/><br/>Scarce: Only two other copies have been offered at auction in the last 40 years: The Blades-St. Bride Foundation-Rattey copy sold Swann 15 April 2004 lot 45 now in the Scheide Library Princeton and the copy sold Christie's London 17 November 1976 lot 143.
