Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon. We find no copies currently offered via the major on-line databases OCLC records but 4 institional cc and the work has only appeared at auction 3 times in the last 25 years the last in 1989.

Issued same year as the American edition quite possibly preceding it. xx 217 pp. Original black cloth with green spine lettering. Very Good with slight perfume smell a little bowing to boards former owner's name on front free endpaper a few reading smudges. In Very Gooddust jacket with wear at head scuffing along fore edge. Uncommon. This book is the most thorough best-known account of the "Philip experiment"an attempt in 1972 by a number of Canadian intellectuals to conjure up a spirit entirely of their own design. The spirit's name Philip Aylesford and backstory suicide witchcraft and betrayal in early 17th-century England were fabricated by the participants together. They then had a seance to reach this fictional character. Their results were intriguing begging the question of co-creation of whether or not people are partially inventing or facilitating their own paranormal experiences.

19683280Orleans France 1968. Very good. 3 sheets 270 x 210 mm printed "roneotype" i.e. mimeographed on both sides to produce 6 pp. stapled as issued. Some insignificant toning a trifle soiled along folds. Suitable for exhibition and study. "Meta-Art" / Concrete Poetry in the service of revolution namely the May-June '68 student uprising that almost toppled the De Gaulle administration. <br/><br/>Here offered is the 6-page mimeograph Manifesto for the Occupation of the University of Orleans Library being an offprint from Moineua's own "Ne coupez-pas" journal no. 1 May 1968 et no. 2 November 1968 of which only 4 issues were published. "Ne coupez-pas" was devoted to political discussions visual poetry and typographical and design experiments we have been unable to locate a complete set. Whereas Moineau was a founding member of the "Meta-Art" avant-garde group and was active alongside concrete artists and activists such as Henri Chopin Moineau's graphic output was limited to only a few years late 60s. <br/><br/>The events of May 1968 have entered into social and cultural legend. While French students were leading the nation into a veritable revolution new waves of revolt spread across Europe in France and Italy particularly Mexico and Czechoslovakia culminating in the Prague Spring uprising. But the Student Revolt in France remains iconic: its proliferation outward to other sectors of French society culminated in a vast general strike that paralyzed the government. <br/><br/>The Mai '68 posters pamphlets and leaflets brought bold and exciting elements to typographic and graphic design as is attested by the present "lo-fi" mimeograph. In the words of the Parisian agit-prop Atelier Populaire these rude and hastily fabricated materials are described as "weapons in the service of the struggle and are an inseparable part of it. Their rightful place is in the centers of conflict that is to say in the streets and on the walls of the factories. To use them for decorative purposes to display them in bourgeois places of culture or to consider them as objects of aesthetic interest is to impair both their function and their effect. This is why the Atelier Populaire has always refused to put them on sale. Even to keep them as historical evidence of a certain stage in the struggle is a betrayal for the struggle itself is of such primary importance that the position of an 'outside' observer is a fiction which inevitably plays into the hands of the ruling class. That is why these works should not be taken as the final outcome of an experience but as an inducement for finding through contact with the masses new levels of action both on the cultural and the political plane." <br/><br/>Jean-Claude Moineau b. 1944 was a professor of mathematics Faculty of Science at the University of Orleans. Occasioned by the Mai '68 student revolts in Paris he organized the occupation of the University of Orleans Library. He soon formed the artistic revolutionary groupe GRRRR Groupe de Recherche et de Réalisation d'une Reflexion Révolutionnaire and the journal "Ne coupez-pas." Very few of his graphic works are known. unknown books
51153Two works of concrete poetry from the late 1960s by Jean-Claude Moineau comprising an undated 12-page unrecorded work of Concrete Poetry done in collaboration with Christiane Frougny "Textes à tester Texts to Test" and a 1968 work "Orléans mai-juin 1968 / La Bibliotheque Universitaire est occupee". Typed and mimeographed pages. 4to. Stapled self-wrpps some insignificant toning and minor creasing overall very good. N.p. Orléans 1968 and undated late 1960s. Jean-Claude Moineau was a professor of mathematics in the Faculty of Science at the University of Orléans. Following the May '68 revolts in Paris Moineau organized the occupation of the University of Orléans Library and soon after formed the revolutionary artistic group GRRRR Groupe de Recherche et de Réalisation d'une Reflexion Révolutionnaire and the journal "Ne coupez-pas". Moineau is also considered to be one of the founders of the "Meta-Art" avant-garde group of the early 1970s.<br/><br/>The first item in this grouping is an extraordinary and unrecorded work of Concrete Poetry in French and English produced as a collaboration between Moineau and Frougny. The texts attempt to engage the reader by inviting participation such as the direction on the first page which reads "Pointez le doigt au hasard sur cette page. Le résultat du test est indiqué au verso." Other instructions appear throughout the work asking the reader to perform other actions such as drawing a line to reveal a poem and leaving a mark. Page three reads "Vous etes.Le Poeme est. - You are. The Poem is." a bold statement on par with the views of concrete poets.The work was produced by a combination of mimeograph and manual typewriter. We could find no record of this work ever being reproduced.<br/><br/>The second item is a 6-page 3 sheets printed on both sides mimeographed Manifesto for the Occupation of the University of Orléans Library originally printed in Moineau's own journal "Ne coupez-pas" Nos. 1 May 1968 and 2 November 1968. This journal was devoted to politics visual poetry typography and design. This manifesto comes out of a legendary time of revolt in France and is an excellent example of the often hastifly produced typographic and graphic posters pamphlets and leaflets which proliferated during this series of events. In the words of the Parisian agit-prop Atelier Populaire these types of materials are "weapons in the service of the struggle and are an inseparble part of it. Their rightful place is in the centers of conflict.These works should not be taken as the final outcome of an experience but as an inducement for finding through contact with the masses new levels of action both on the cultural and the political plane."<br/><br/>Both incredibly scarce; as of December 2020 we do not know of any other copies of "Textes à tester" and OCLC does not list any separate holdings of the Manifesto outside of its publication in "Ne coupez-pas." Our thanks to Michael Laird for his assistance in cataloging these items. unknown books
