17444109Turin Italy: Stamperia Reale 1744. Very good. Huge letterpress broadside 1070 x 360 mm printed on 2 1/2 folio sheets edges untrimmed. A few sections underlined and annotated in a contemporary hand in the left blank margin worn; paper extensions mainly in the right margin; prominent horizontal central fold other folds reinforced on verso with occasional lost of one or two letters. A remarkable survival preserved in mylar L-sleeve backed with lig-free board. GIGANTIC APPARENTLY UNRECORDED BROADSIDE ISSUED BY THE STATE MAGISTRATE WARNING AGAINST THE 1744 "CATTLE PLAGUE" EPIDEMIC IN NORTHERN ITALY A FLIMSY ATTEMPT AT GOVERNMENTAL MANAGEMENT AND DISEASE CONTROL. <br /> <br /> The disease described herein was almost certainly RIDERPEST a highly contagious viral infection which can produce a 100% death rate among herds the colloquial term "cattle plague" is a misnomer because sheep and goats can also be afflicted by it. <br /> <br /> The 1744 outbreak had been observed in The Netherlands in the months before our broadside was printed but the Magistrate mentions only the reports from Franche Comté. While the devating consequences of cattle plague in The Netherlands are well researched its effects in Italy at this same time are not well-known probably due to the comparatively low survival rate of contemporary documentation. <br /> <br /> Indeed no other copy of our broadside can be found. Here the Magistrate of the Conservatory General of Health gives warning signs of the infection and preventative measures against its spread including mandatory "lazarettos" quarantine areas for livestock. The "nature and the signs" of the disease is addressed along with a dubious and ineffectual attempt at a remedy which involved cold water salt vinegar pepper and camphor; "Rimedi preservativi" prophylactic measures are recommended and steps for "fumigating" i.e. disinfecting livestock and their owners are given. <br /> <br /> The urgency of Magistrate's is justified: less than 30 years earlier through circuitous trade routes cattle plague had spread like wildfire even the most remote regions of Eastern and Western Europe and Britain. Such trade networks had become larger and more sophisticated in order to supply food to growing urban centers.<br /> <br /> Throughout history outbreaks of cattle plague led to severe economic crisis: the resulting famine inflation civil unrest and overall moral decay destabilized societies with crippling effect as had been seen in The Netherlands in the first outbreak of 1713-1720. Wherever and whenever cattle plague emerged religious figures government officials technocrats and the public wrested with the meaning and consequences of these disasters.<br /> <br /> Students and scholars of socio-economics in the Early Modern era would do well do incorporate primary sources of veterinary history in their research.<br /> <br /> NB: Interested parties are advised that this huge broadside will be shipped folded.

201212010Franz Steiner Verlag. 2012. Softcover. Near Fine. Very very light shelfwear else fine.; English summary: How did the Roman veterans make their lives after the end of the term of service and discharge from the army What positions did they take in the social and economic structures of their chosen residences There is scarcely other source material that offers more answers to these questions than that which remains in the surviving papyri from Egypt. Patrick Sanger uses the document collections of the veterans Aelius Sarapammon and Aelius Syrion to make possible a thorough analysis of the socio-economic position of the two protagonists who made their home in Ankyronpolis a village of mid-Egyptian region of Herakleopolis. The pertinent 19 archival texts P. Vet. Aelii span the time from the end of the 2nd to the middle of the 3rd century CR and are presented here some for the first time and some as a new edition. These documents which will not only garner interest by reason of their time period but also their contents serve as the point of departure for a presentation of the socio-economic situation of veterans in Egypt and other provinces of the Roman Empire as well as for the detailed study of the legal and administrative history. German description: Wie gestaltete sich das Leben romischer Veteranen nach der Beendigung der Dienstzeit und der Entlassung aus der Armee Welche Position nahmen sie im sozialen und okonomischen Gefuge des von ihnen gewahlten Wohnortes ein Kaum ein anderes Quellenmaterial als die in Agypten erhalten gebliebenen Papyri halt mehr Antworten auf diese Fragen bereit. Die von Patrick Sanger erschlossenen Dokumentensammlungen bzw. Archive der Veteranen Aelius Sarapammon und Aelius Syrion ermoglichen eine eingehende Analyse der sozio-okonomischen Verhaltnisse der beiden Protagonisten die in Ankyronon einem Dorf des mittelagyptischen Gaues Herakleopolites beheimatet waren. Die zugehorigen 19 Archivtexte P. Vet. Aelii erstrecken sich uber den Zeitraum vom Ende des 2. Bis zur Mitte des 3. Jahrhunderts n. Chr. Und werden teils in Erst- teils in Neuedition vorgelegt. Diese Dokumente die nicht nur aufgrund ihrer Zeitstellung sondern auch ihrer Herkunft besonderes Interesse beanspruchen dienen als Ausgangspunkt fur eine Darstellung der sozio-okonomischen Situation von Veteranen in Agypten und anderen Provinzen des Imperium Romanum sowie fur verwaltungs- und rechtshistorische Detailstudien; Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage Und Epigraphische Studien Band 48; 429 pages . 3515099042 .

197116792Roma: Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada 1971. First Edition. Lithographed poster offset in three colors; 100cm x 70cm ca 40" x 28"; on heavy paper. Minor toning; light creases at margins; Near Fine - Grade A/A-.<br /> <br /> A bit of a puzzle: the poster appears to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of the formation of the Associazione Bandiera Rossa an Italian Trotskyist group; but the poster bears the imprint of the PCI the main-line Marxist-Leninist party in Italy - an ideological implausibility even within the chaotic confines of Italian Marxism. Adding further to the confusion is a quotation from Antonio Gramsci founder of the PCI in upper right. In any case a terrific graphic attributed here to Luciano Prati whose name we encounter on a few late-70s Italian film posters but nowhere else. Duke University appears to be the only North American institution to hold a catalogued copy of this work. Partito Comunista Italiano / Editoriali Fratelli Spada unknown
