Crasset Jean 1618 1692ABAA

Histoire de l'Ã‰glise du Japon

1717E05562 volumes. 2865911 pages with 4 plates and index; 106786 pages with 4 plates one folding and index. Quarto 10" x 8" bound in half leather with raised spine bands in gilt lettering to spine over marbled boards. Streit-Dindinger VI 1418. Second edition of a 1689 history of missions to Japan prefaced with a general account of the country. Jean Crasset was an ascetical writer born at Dieppe France 3 January 1618 and died at Paris 4 January 1692. He entered the Society of Jesus in 1638 became professor of humanities and philosophy was director for twenty-three years of a famous sodality of men connected with the professed house of the Jesuits in Paris and was also a successful preacher. Crasset is the author of many ascetical works among which are:Methode d'oraison; ConsidÃ©rationes chrÃ©tiennes pour tous les jours de l'annÃ©e; La chrÃ©tienne in soli tude; Dissertation sur les oracles des Sibylles which was vigorously attacked; Entretiens pour la jeunesse. He also published in 1689 a Historie de l'Ã©glise du japon which has been translated into several languages but which is considered inferior to that of Charlevoix. Crasset's history was scarcely original for it was drawn in great part from the work which Father Solier had issued in 1627; he merely retouched the style and continued the narrative from 1624 to 1658. The objection is made that the work lacks precision is heavy and is crowded with details. The author attributed the origin of the persecution of 1597 to the imprudence of the friars in making their religious ceremonies public. There is a posthumous work of his entitled La foy victorieuse de l'infidÃ©lite et du libertinage. On 9 September 1656 the Bishop of OrlÃ©ans issued an interdict against him for having in one of his sermons charged several ecclesiastics with sustaining the propositions condemned by the Bull of Innocent X Cum occasione 31 May 1653. The interdict was removed in the following February. Condition: Nicely rebound in half leather. Contents toned and damp-stained St. Charles Borromeo Seminary stamp on titles else a very good set.

Japan 19th Century Guide BookABAA

Illlustrated Guide Book for Travellers Around Japan. By B. Wyeda and T. Aoki

188926938Osaka Japan: Aoki Szandow 1889. C. 120 pages; most of which have an illustration and sometimes two. Text in Japanese; titles given in English. Colin Franklin in 'Exploring Japanese Books and Scrolls' calls these publications an "appealing series of guides As travel within Japan had been restricted for three centuries and travel abroad forbidden these represented the new freedom. They combine charm with taste and a fine vagueness about that obsession of modern publishers "the market." As book-production they jump into more popular format with color-printed pictures over boards to bind themwith English captions erratic and fearless the many hundred illustrations which adorn the Japanese text.were they for the tour-guide to show his visitor - or in the world for Japanese travelers to show their guides Neither of these perhaps just a venture over the border into Western habit. They are excellent little books to leaf throughTechnically too they joined West with East. A new method was used for illustration: relief metal-cut like white-line wood engraving - Bewick's technique - difficult and delicate to manage practical in Japan for just a few years in the last quarter of the century. Paper suitable for such fine-line reproduction smooth machine-made was folded at the fore-edges in the traditional Japanese way. End-leaves and all edges were marbled an innovation for which as has been mentioned these books are now admired by collectors in JapanThey providetempting glimpses of all manner of scene and aspect of life on the eve of change" This is one volume of the 7-volume series. Approx. 4" x 6" size; bound in illustrated paper covered boards; cloth spine marbled endpapers all edges marbled. Some edge tips wear to the binding; contents in very good condition. . First Edition. Hard Cover. Very Good. Aoki Szandow hardcover books
