TM 767MEDIEVAL SERMON MANUSCRIPT IN A FIFTEENTH-CENTURY CHAINED BINDING CHAIN INTACT decorated manuscript on parchment in Latin Austria Vienna or Southern Germany c. 1275-1300. 182 x 127 mm. 190 folios complete written in a rapid Gothic hand with cursive influence in two columns of thirty-two to thirty-seven lines justification 141-143 x 96-100 mm. parchment ruled in brown ink quire signatures guide notes for rubrication red rubrics capitals and names of cited authorities stroked in red rhymed phrases underlined in red red paraphs two- to three-line plain red initials two-line red initial with pen flourishing in red f. 131v occasional scribal corrections and marginalia. BINDING: Fifteenth-century blind-tooled and -stamped red calf with eight engraved and bossed cornerpieces intact fore-edge clasp and chain hasp with intact chain with two manuscript fragments serving as front flyleaf and lower pastedown. Chained libraries were a late medieval solution to the problem of providing access to needed books in an institution while at the same time preventing theft and we can assume many late medieval volumes were once chained. Most however have been rebound or survive without the chain and other metalwork and intact chained bindings such as this one are uncommon. TEXT: This extensive collection includes more than one hundred sermons from the <i>Sermones de sanctis et de communi sanctorum</i> of the early Franciscan writer Conrad of Saxony d. 1279 together with his very popular text the <i>Speculum beatae Mariae virginis</i> all copied not long after their composition. This is however not simply a copy of Conrad's sermon cycle since some of his sermons are omitted and six sermons by contemporary Dominican authors Martinus Polonus Aldobrandinus de Calvacantibus and Antonius Azaro de Parma as well as eight sermons by unidentified authors were also included. It seems likely this is an example of a re-working of Conrad's texts for a Dominican audience who would have prized it as a preaching aid and for its pronounced Marian focus. Marginal annotations attest to the early use of these sermons most likely by preachers. PROVENANCE: Written in Southern Germany or Austria at the end of the thirteenth century as suggested by evidence of spelling script and decoration. Belonged to the Dominican house attached to the Church of St. Maria Rotunda in Vienna as indicated by two fifteenth-century inscriptions; here it was probably part of the house's chained library. Belonged to a Dominican convent at KosiÄe in present-day Slovakia as indicated by a sixteenth-century inscription. Belonged to Maurice Burrus 1882-1959 Alsatian philatelist; his ex libris on the front pastedown. CONDITION: Slight rust stains and corrosion in the outer margins of ff. 184-188 margins trimmed away overall in good condition. Full description and photographs available TM 767. books

187751868Oneida NY: Office of the American Socialist 1877. Second edition. Octavo 22cm. Printed pale green wrappers; 32pp. A fresh apparently uncirculated copy Near Fine. <br/><br/>A singular aspect of Noyes's Pefectionist philosophy as practiced by his followers at Oneida was the sanctification of the human sexual bond through the practice of "male continence" i.e. coitus reservatus or the withholding of the male orgasm during intercourse. The current pamphlet falls somewhat short of elucidating technique at least to the satisfaction of the uninitiated reader but does provide at some length Noyes's Biblical justifications and his defense of the practice. The first edition appeared in 1866 with the full title Male Continence: or Self-Control in Sexual Intercourse. That title having drawn the attention of Noyes's censors all of the sub-title was dropped from the Second Edition - save the semi-colon which remained a mysterious punctuational ghost or vain apostle; universal symbol of something more to come. <br/><br/>Full disclosure: we are in possession of a substantial remainder of the Second Edition.

Full contemporary olive green morocco raised bands compartments gilt with cross- hatching covers with rolled leaf and flower borders surrounding a central compass-like device of leaves stems and buds a.e.g. marbled endsheets.

One of two impressions of 1764 under Vaillant's imprint that ESTC suggests might have been printed in Amsterdam the other without Nourse's co-imprint. The first Vaillant edition cited by Griffiths is dated 1748 with editions dated 1776 1778 1780 and 1788 following. This copy has been extra- illustrated with the suite of appropriate engravings by G.L. Smith published in London in 1773 by William Dawson Pater-noster Row evidently just for this purpose the plate utilized here for the frontis bears a caption and Dawson's dated imprint.

The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787."
