2004132996Los Angeles: Pandemonium Theatre Company 2004. An archive of 10 original posters for productions staged by Ray Bradbury's Pandemonium Theatre Company from 1988 to 2004. The plays were performed in Southern California predominantly at The Court Theatre Falcon Theatre Theatre West The Raven Playhouse and Melrose Theatre. <br/><br/>The archive includes posters from 10 productions including "Fahrenheit 451" "The October Country" "Past Present & Future" "The Time of Going Away" and "Drunk and In Charge of a Bicycle." and his Irish play "Falling Upward!" "Falling Upward!" was one of Bradbury's favorite plays and especially as he advanced in age he was know to encourage its frequent production simply for the joy of being able to see it again. <br/><br/>Bradbury was an avid playwright and a familiar and enthusiastic presence in the Southern California theatre circuit near his home. In 1963 he and director Charles Rome Smith founded Pandemonium Theatre Company. The two friends would go on to work with the company together for the next four decades until Rome's death in 2004. This archive is a solid representation of the company's latter half before Smith's passing and Bradbury's hearing loss which would necessitate that he stop attending performances. <br/><br/>Posters approximately 11 x 17 inches.

Contemporary half calf and marbled boards spines in six compartments with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt with armorial crests in two compartments red edges.<br/> <br/>First and only edition of this comprehensive catalog of the Parisian curiosity collection of Pedro Dávila.<br/> <br/>Pedro Franco Dávila was born in Guayaquil in present-day Peru and studied natural sciences in Lima before moving to Paris in 1740. He took an interest in collecting around that time and over the course of 20 years he amassed the largest collection of natural history specimens in all of Paris. He sought to preserve it by establishing an institution in Spain but after King Carlos III rejected his request Dávila was forced to put the collection up for auction to settle the debts he incurred in building it. The Dávila catalogue as it became known was prepared as a sale catalogue when he sold the collection off in Paris prior to returning to his native Peru. Considering the size of the collection the sale became one of the major auction events of that time period and the catalogue was distributed widely in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basel. The catalogue describes 8096 mineral specimens from a broad range of places including Canada Mexico and Paraguay. It further describes over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps plus various scientific instruments and precious stones. It also lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. "Dávila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young Romé de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. Romé de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by Romé de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. "The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. Romé de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc." The Mineralogical Record. Dávila was able to make more than enough to pay off his creditors and subsequently began to amass a second collection. Within three years in October 1771 King Carlos III agreed to accept this second collection and Dávila became the founder and first director of the Royal Cabinet of Natural History of Madrid now known as the National Museum of Natural Sciences where his specimens are still located today.<br/> <br/>Nissen ZBI 1050; Wilson 209; Conlon 67:1238; Sinkankas 1594.

Internally all three volumes are in excellent condition. All 30 plates are crisp and in fine impressions. First and sole edition of this comprehensive catalogue of the collection of Pedro Francisco Dávila. The Dávila catalog as it has become known describes 8096 mineral specimens that encompass a large range of localities including a suite of specimens from Potosà in Spanish America as well as many items from Canada Mexico and Paraguay. In addition the catalog lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. Over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps as well as various scientific instruments and precious stones are also described. "Pedro Francisco Dávila possessor of the largest collection of natural history specimens in Paris and wishing to establish an institution in Spain to preserve it approached King Carlos III of Spain. But political difficulties and an approaching war with England distracted the king who declined the purchase. Because of debts incurred building the collection creditors forced Dávila to put the accumulation up for auction in Paris. For this purpose a detailed collection catalog was required. Dávila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young Romé de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. "Romé de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by Romé de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. Romé de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc. Dávila had been a collector for over 20 years when his accumulation was auctioned. In that time he or his agents had acquired specimens at other auctions including those that liquidated the collections of Albertus Seba in 1752 the Abbé Joly de Fleury in 1755 Claude Geoffroy in 1753 and others. Dávila's catalog received wide distribution in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basle. This helped push the total realized by Dávila to over 800000 Spanish reales more than enough to pay of his creditors and to finance a second collection which he immediately began to build. Within two or three years he had again amassed a sizable collection specializing in minerals and selected with more knowledge and experience than his first collection had been. Once again he dreamed of establishing the cabinet in Madrid. In October 1771 this became reality when King Carlos III agreed to take over his collections with Dávila serving as director for life. This enormous collection eventually passed into the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid where Dávila's specimens are still preserved today."The Mineralogical Record Conlon 67:1238; Nissen ZBI 1050; Sinkankas 1594; Wilson History of Mineral Collecting 1994: 136-40 166 & 209 provides a detailed history of the collections M.

The assembled prelates met in the Lateran Basilica to review and revise the rules and laws regulating the clergy in and of the province producing revisions that were numerous and important. These were promulgated promptly and published in several editions in 1725. This is one of three editions we have identified as being printed in that year all from the press of the same printer. No priority has yet been established for their order of appearance. Contemporary vellum over light pasteboards with slightly raised bands; the vellum used here was recovered from earlier use in a binding or some document.
