A very good copy with some minor repairs lightly washed. With a fine woodcut headpiece and Jesuit emblem on the title page and numerous decorative head- and tailpieces and initials including one of a dragon throughout.</p><p>This collection contains the following letters from the Jesuit missions in Japan and Goa: Francesco Carreón writing from Kuchinotsu 1 Dec. 1579; Gregorio de Céspedes 1579; Lorenço Mexia at Bungo 20 Oct. 1580; three letters by LuÃs Fróis Miyako 14 April 1581; 19 May 1581; and 29 May 1581; Francesco Cabral 15 Sept. 1581; and Alessandro Valignano Goa 28 Dec. 1583.<br /><br />The Salsette Martyrs:<br /><br />This collection concludes with Valignano's important letter from Goa –one of only five Jesuit letters from India published between 1570 and 1585- detailing the deaths of the Jesuit Martyrs of Cuncolim who were killed on Monday 25 July 1583 in the village of Cuncolim in the district of Salsette territory of Goa India. The "martyrs" were the Italian Rudolph Acquaviva the Spaniard Alphonso Pacheco the Swiss Peter Berno the Portuguese Anthony Francis and Brother Francis Aranha also a Portuguese. In addition the Portuguese layman Gonçalo Rodrigues and some Indian youths Dominic Alphonso Francis Rodrigues Paul da Costa and ten others were also killed.<br /><br />While prosecuting their mission of Conversion in Cuncolim the Jesuits and their companions desecrated a Hindu temple by urinating in it a relatively mild if repugnant form of desecration; on an earlier excursion Father Berno had set fire to another temple and destroyed a sacred anthill. In addition they killed a cow that was also an object of worship and hurled its entrails into a sacred well thereby defiling it. The understandably outraged citizenry set upon the Jesuits and their companions killing them with scimitars lances and arrows. They then threw their bodies into a well. The five Jesuits quickly achieved great fame as martyrs and at last in the 19th century were elevated to sainthood while the lay Indians who were slaughtered with them were ignored. <br /><br />It should be remembered that three of the five Jesuit martyrs were in Cuncolim as chaplains to a force of Portuguese soldiers sent to exact harsh reprisals for indigenous resistance to Portuguese rule and the Jesuit campaign of forced conversion. In this context the killing of the Jesuits is remembered by the people of modern day Cuncolim as one of the first acts of revolutionary resistance to European rule in India.<br /><br />Of course the letter written in December of 1583 by the Jesuit Provincial of India Alessandro Valignano glorifies the "martyrs" and in true martyrological style vividly describes the deaths of Acquaviva and his companions.<br /><br />"The Pagans then fell upon them; Father Rudolph received five cuts from a scimitar and a spear and died praying God to forgive them and pronouncing the Holy Name. Father Berno was next horribly mutilated and Father Pacheco wounded with a spear fell on his knees extending his<br />arms in the form of a cross and praying God to forgive his murderers and send other missionaries to them.</p><p>Streit Bibliotheca Missionum IV. 1639; Sommervogel II col 492; Cordier Sinica 75; Laures 170</p> Appreso I Gioliti, books

The front cover of the album with a horizontal crack about 3 inches from the bottom and extending across most of the cover doing little to detract from the lovely decorative scene. Overall a beautiful example uncommon in such nice condition. Oblong Folio 14" x 10-1/2" with a black morocco leather spine with gilt designs and exquisite black enamel painted and onlaid covers. Containing 50 hand-colored 10-1/4" x 7-3/4" albumen photographs laid down onto heavy cardboard pages titled in the negative in English and with small color drawings of figures in the margins of each page. Images include cityscapes landmarks and scenes of daily life and rituals in mid-to-late Meiji period Japan. Places shown include Tokyo Kyoto Yokohama Nagoya Enoshima the shrines of Nikko and two views of Mt. Fuji. Occupational scenes include women spinning cotton men striking wheat a rice plantation men transporting rice bales on horseback a samurai a Shinto priest Shinto pilgrims a "blind shampooer" a pottery shop a shoe shop a grocery a cloth store "reading at home" "gathering the cocoons" "playing at ball" and more. Albums such as this were sold to overseas visitors to Japan ca 1880s- early 1900s who would choose their favorite scenes from the photography studio's stock and whether to pay extra for hand-coloring fine binding and artistic covers. We have offered a handful of examples over the years and this is easily the finest in content with more occupational and daily life scenes as opposed to the standard landmarks as well as special touches such as the small hand-painted characters in the margins of each page and also in the finest condition.

Japan: n.d.<br /> During the Edo period there were 12 Korean delegations to Japan whose purposes were mostly to congratulate a new Tokugawa shogun. The missions which normally included 300-500 Koreans accompanied by roughly 1500 Japanese escorts symbolized the amicable relationship between the two nations and in the early years served to legitimize the Tokugawa shogunate.<br /> These delegations which usually took nine or ten months round-trip were enormously expensive undertakings for both countries. The Koreans brought many luxurious presents both public and private gifts and the Japanese in turn furnished equally lavish gifts including large quantities of silver. Also the receiving Japanese were obligated to fund a number of elaborate and costly banquets during the delegation's travels on the mainland and in the capital city as well as provide accommodations throughout.<br /> Our manuscript is concerned with one of the three final missions which took place in 1748 1764 and 1811 this last mission was held on the island of Tsushima located roughly halfway between Kyushu and the Korean mainland. All three of these missions experienced considerable cost-cutting. We suspect our manuscript is a record of the banquets for the final 1811 mission as there is a reference to a Russian translator at this time there was considerable tension between Japan and Russia because of the Russian desire to open trade with the island nation.<br /> Our manuscript describes a series of banquets served during one of these three final missions. In spite of the newly instituted austerity it is clear that the participants ate very well. For each of the 13 banquets we are given the number of guests and their official positions the number of dishes per tray what foods were served etc. Some of the banquets were limited to just a dozen or so guests and others included more than 300 people. <br /> The cuisine is very much in the tradition of the ritualistic preparation and serving of the food on a series of trays known as honzen ryori "main tray cuisine" which was the dominant banqueting style for the elite from the Muromachi period through the Edo period. Various seafoods including luxury items like lobster smoked fish roe octopus and preserved fish are listed along with preparations of chickens eggs many kinds of vegetables burdock daikon radish ginger eggplant wild wasabi and many vegetables that are today quite obscure cooked in various ways pickles mushrooms fruits persimmons pears yuzu nuts rice and other grains and elaborate confections including sweets of Portuguese origin like pound cake or kasutera.<br /> Fine copy preserved in a chitsu. unknown books

Debry Printed His Voyage To Virginia In 1590 As Part I Of His Works But Burden Mapping Of North America Provides No Record That A 1592 Printing Exists. This Map Has No Center Fold But Contemporary Engravings Exist Of The Offices Of The Great 17Th Century Cartographic Publishers With Row Upon Row Of Flat Drawers For Storage Of Single Maps; It Would Be Unreasonable To Believe That None Of These Unbound Maps Survived. This Appears To Be One Of Them Although The Consensus Of Modern Dealers Is That No Unfolded Large Map First Published In A Book Can Exist. Although We Have Been Unable To Locate A 1592 German Edition Of Debry We Believe This Is A Map As Issued In The 1592 German Edition Of De Bry Which Was First Published In 1591 And Subsequently Reprinted In 1592 And 1594 And In The Seventeenth Century. Small Cartouche At Lower Left Monogram With Text "Caesavece Matis. Privilegio Mdxcii" In The Plate Added After Original 1591 Printing.

Poème perpétuel. L'or et l'eau froide. Trois poèmes inachevés. Les vainqueurs d'hier périront". Tirage : 5 Japon nacré et 15 vergé d'Arches numérotés et signés + les exemplaires non numérotés sur vélin du Marais (tirage probable à 500 ex.). Le notre, sur vélin du Marais est accompagné DES 4 SUPERBES LITHOGRAPHIES ORIGINALES DE MAX ERNST TIRÉES EN NOIR À PLEINE PAGE SUR VERGÉ DE HOLLANDE (seuls les 20 premiers exemplaires en grand papier contiennent ces lithographies). - Note bibliographique et historique : Max Ernst avait prévu une série de douze lithographies, mais seules quatre d’entre elles furent publiées dans l’édition de luxe à petit nombre. Un an plus tôt, en 1938, désapprouvant ses positions trotskystes, Éluard avait rompu avec Breton : À sa suite Max Ernst quitte le groupe surréaliste outré d’avoir à subir l’exigence de « saboter la poésie de Paul Éluard par tous les moyens » (in Centre Georges Pompidou, Paul Éluard et ses amis peintres, 1982, p.109).
