Unveröffentlichtes Monument der sorbischen Sprache: 'Lebensbeschreibung 1818 als ich das erstemal das Tageslicht erblickte.' So eröffnet der 15 jährige die über 380 dicht beschriebenen Seiten im Dezember 1834. Es folgen zahlreiche Texte in deutscher italienischer und lateinischer Sprache. - Johann Peter Jordan 1818-1891 geboren in der sorbischen Ortschaft Zischkowitz besuchte seit seinem 13 Lebensjahr das Wendische Seminar in Prag. Hier begann er das Studium der Theologie wandte sich aber sehr bald der Journalistik und Slawistik zu. 1837 veröffentlichte er in der Prager Zeitschrift 'Ost und West' einen Aufsatz über die Sorben. In diesen Jahren sammelte er sorbische Volkslieder und bemühte sich um die Vereinheitlichung der sorbischen Orthographie. Weiters verfasste er eine Grammatik der wendisch-sorbischen Sprache in der Oberlausitz. Mit dieser Schrift wurde er 1843 in Leipzig promoviert. Auf Grund seiner Teilnahme am nationalpolitischen Leben in Prag musste er auf Druck der österreichischen Polizei die Stadt verlassen. Er bekam ein Lektorat für slawische Sprachen an der Universität Leipzig. Von 1842 bis in die späten 1860er Jahre gab er gemeinsam mit Arnost Smoler die 'Jahrbücher für slawische Literatur Kunst und Wissenschaft' heraus. Angesichts der nationalpolitischen Entwicklungen in Böhmen und Mähren verließ Jordan Leipzig in Richtung Prag wo er sich aktiv an der tschechischen Nationalbewegung beteiligte und 1848 den Slawenkongress mitorganisierte. 1848/49 wirkte er in Prag als der Herausgeber der 'Slavischen Centralblätter'. Seine dortige prorevolvolutionäre Tätigkeit kostete ihn jedoch sein Lektorat in Leipzig. Jordan wird heute gemeinsam mit Smoler als geistiger Wegbereiter der sorbischen nationalen Wiedergeburt angesehen. Aufgrund seiner publizistischen und politisch-kulturelllen Misserfolge in der Lausitz wandte er sich dem Wirtschaftsleben zu. 1859 war er Präsident der Prager Industrie- und Handelskammer und arbeitet auch mit dem Bankhaus Fugger zusammen. 1861 übersiedelte er nach Wien wo er in konservativ alttschechischen Kreisen verkehrte. - - In die Biographie eingeschaltet sind zahlreiche literarische Versuche Jordans darunter etwa auch Gedichte und Balladen in sorbischer "Ton ton te Dzeczo" in deutscher lateinischer und italinischer Sprache "Das Christgeschenk" "Elephante in India" "Turris Straßburgensis" folgt wiederum ein sorbisches Gedicht mit mehreren Hunderten von Verszeilen ferner "La Continuazione dell'Apparenza ingannar communicata.". Es folgen Notizen zum Opernlibretti "Nel 'Ratto d'Europa' di Sig.e Metastasio Venere dice a Europa:." dann wieder extrem lange Passagen in sorbischer Sprache teils nach Monaten geteilt etwa mit Titelei in roter Tinte wie "Maerz Marzio Mars Martius" Wohlerhalten kaum fleckig kaum Gebrauchsspuren meist sehr gut lesbar - geschrieben in einer sehr kleinen feinen altdeutschen Kurrentschrift mit Feder in Sepia-Schwarz. Beiliegt ein kleines Manuskript mit literarischen Versuchen: "Das Wirtshaus im Walde. Historische Erzählung" 28 S. auf 7 gefalteten Blättern beidseitig beschrieben sowie eine Liste der Libri lecti Jordans: "Folgende Bücher habe ich gelesen" 4 S. auf gefaltetem Doppelblatt.

Octavo. 80pp. map of Africa plates and illustrations. Yellow printed wrappers. Contemporary name on front wrap wrappers with light foxing and soiling very good or better. The scarce autobiography of Lewis Garnett Jordan 1853–1939 who describes his life o f enslavement before the Civil War and just after. Born in Lauderdale County Mississippi Jordan’s childhood was traumatizing. His father a Spaniard who passed for a White man was absent. His mother like Jordan was enslaved. As a boy unnamed and known only as “Nig†he was struck by the plantation owner’s wife for committing a small infraction:<br /> <br /> “Mother like an enraged lioness collared her mistress and nearly choked her to death. Of course she was severely flogged by the master for it but it took nearly the remaining afternoon to do so. From that time until freedom came the master never attempted to whip her without a gun near at hand and being sure that she was well tied. The sight of her bleeding back and her mournful cries for mercy and pity as the blows from a cowhide rained on her bare back will always remain in my memory.†<br /> <br /> During the Civil War Jordan worked in a Confederate camp with his enslaver who had been compelled to enlist. When victorious Union soldiers came to the plantation the enslaved men and women were “hidden so as not to fall into the hands of the Yankees who were pictured to us as dreadful ogres to be shunned at all hazards… .†When the soldiers came again Jordan hid in fear. His mother was dismayed. She had been prepared to escape with her son who she could not find and she knew that the soldiers could have taken them to freedom.<br /> <br /> “Most of the Union soldiers had been mustered out of service†when a second opportunity arose for the Jordans to escape enslavement. It was learned that some Union troops were still encamped in Meridian Mississippi. Jordan writes that his mother had never taken recompense for her years as a slave but on the night of their escape Jordan was instructed to steal a pair of shoes for her “to wear to freedom.†In the pouring rain wading in creeks and lagoons and evading bloodhounds the duo finally achieved their liberty. It was in this Union “contraband camp†where Jordan was finally able to leave slavery behind.<br /> <br /> Jordan was still without a name when a camp school teacher asked him for his. Unwilling to be identified as “Nig†Jordan spontaneously gave the first names of two soldiers “Lewis†and “Jordan†who had been kind to him thus giving himself a name and having a name for the first time in his life. Later in life Jordan added “Garnett†as his middle name after reading an account of the life of the Rev. Henry Highland Garnett in The Rising Sun by William Wells Brown.<br /> <br /> A year after the war’s end in 1866 Jordan’s aunt was kidnapped by a former slaveowner and never seen again. His sister was kidnapped and his mother was forcefully carried off to be a wet nurse by a White United States Colored Troops officer. Jordan was sent to live with another officer from the 52nd Colored Regiment. This man treated him cruelly and Jordan ran away.<br /> <br /> Jordan’s narrative continues apace. Eventually he was baptized on a plantation once owned by Jefferson Davis and reunited with his mother. Jordan was licensed to preach in 1873 and ordained in 1874. His first ministry was located in Yazoo City Mississippi. Subsequently he pastored churches in Texas and finally at Philadelphia’s Union Baptist Church.<br /> <br /> Other portions of Jordan’s text concern his missionary endeavors in Africa brief biographical sketches of important Baptists his education his religious beliefs and various other events and experiences. The book’s interesting Introduction was written by Adam Clayton Powell Sr. pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church New York’s oldest Black church.<br /> <br /> Not in Work.

19261276Berlin: Julius Springer 1926. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of the famous "three-man paper" the first complete self-consistent description of quantum mechanics. "In 1925 after an extended visit to Bohr's Institute of Theoretical Physics at the University of Copenhagen Heisenberg tackled the problem of spectrum intensities of the electron taken as an anharmonic oscillator a one-dimensional vibrating system. His position that the theory should be based only on observable quantities was central to his paper of July 1925 "Über quantentheoretische Umdeutung kinematischer und mechanischer Beziehungen" "Quantum-Theoretical Reinterpretation of Kinematic and Mechanical Relations". Heisenberg's formalism rested upon noncommutative multiplication; Born together with his new assistant Pascual Jordan realized that this could be expressed using matrix algebra which they used in a paper submitted for publication in September as "Zur Quantenmechanik" "On Quantum Mechanics". By November Born Heisenberg and Jordan had completed "Zur Quantenmechanik II" "On Quantum Mechanics II" colloquially known as the "three-man paper" which is regarded as the foundational document of a new quantum mechanics" Britannica's Guide to the Nobel Prizes.

19272348Berlin: Julius Springer 1927. First edition. Original wrappers. Fine. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS of Jordan and Klein's introduction of the "second quantization"; one of the founding papers of quantum field theory. FROM THE LIBRARY OF NIELS BOHR with his stamp on the front wrapper. In Jordan's "paper with Klein written while the two of them were in Copenhagen in the spring of 1927 a generalization of Dirac's treatment of bosons was given to allow for the interaction of the bosons with one another. Their point of departure was a Schrödinger equation for the field operator containing a nonlinear term to account for the interaction of the field itself. "The equivalence of this description with that using symmetric wave functions in configuration space was established. The 'particles' that emerged from the imposition of the quantum condition commutation rules on the field variables thus obeyed Bose statistics. Heisenberg found the results of Jordan and Klein very attractive. In his interview with Kuhn and Heilbron in 1963 he recalled: 'I liked it very much because now I could see "All right. There is an entirely different picture to start with the wave picture and if I quantize that picture--that is if I make this picture open to the same restriction as the particle picture--then the two pictures become equivalent." That is exactly what I wanted' Heisenberg 1963 session 8 p. 21. "Bohr at the Solvay meeting of 1927 saw Jordan and Klein's work as supporting his views of complementarity. Pauli at that same congress welcomed the formulation since it allowed to formulate the quantum theoretic description of an assembly of bosons entirely in 3-dimensional space. "In a letter to Kronig in November 1927 Pauli described the work of Jordan and Klein as 'wirklich schön' really beautiful. In fact the Jordan and Klein paper converted Pauli to the Jordan viewpoint about the quantization of matter fields. The article by Jordan and Klein made clear to both Heisenberg and Pauli who were then collaborating on a general theory of relativistic quantized fields how to proceed in describing the interaction between the electromagnetic field and charges. Pauli who up to that time had been reluctant to accept Jordan's views on quantization of matter fields embraced Jordan's viewpoint. After the publication of the Jordan-Klein article Pauli and Heisenberg agreed that the quantization of matter fields was the correct approach. In December 1927 Heisenberg could write Bohr that the important work of Jordan and Klein had been the stimulus of his thinking long and hard on the formulation of relativistic quantum mechanics and that he and Pauli were making good progress" Schweber QED and the Men Who Made It: Dyson Feynman Schwinger and Tomonaga pp.35-37.
