76902The charter rules of Barbaric Creed a Harley Davidson motorcycle club which likely was formed in Southern California in the 1970s. The four-page document is housed in a commercial blue cardstock folder with no date or location. There are no mentions of Barbaric Creed in newspaper reports or in references on 20th century motorcycle clubs. The date and location offered are presumed because of unrelated materials acquired along with this folder.<br /> <br /> The first page of the document is a preamble which is followed by three pages of rules concerning membership recruitment and conduct. In addition to being Harley Davidson riders only members are required to attend 2/3 of meetings and be "responsible for their prospects and their ol' ladies actions."<br /> <br /> Given the menacing name and some of the language in the rules it appears the club was in the "outlaw" camp. Members could not join other clubs or belong to law enforcement anyone who left the group was required to forfeit their colors and any "beefs" would be settled internally. The rules conclude: "This club does not condone the use or possession of drugs alcohol or any controlled substances This is just a disclaimer of responsibility. If any member or members engage in illegal activity that's your business. Don't involve the club. Don't even think about rippin off a brother - it will be your ass if you do."<br /> <br /> A unique and compelling internal document from the underground world of postwar American motorcycle clubs and gangs. unknown

As issued in stiff printed wrappers; partially unopened copy. Only light toning and rubbing to the wrappers else quite clean and bright. <br /> <br /> This keepsake reprints the 1854 pamphlet title: "Description of the Great Tree Recently Felled upon the Sierra Nevada California Now Place for Public Exhibition in the Spacious Racket Court of the Union Club No. 596 Broadway Adjoining the Metropolitan Hotel New-York." A wonderful if horrifying in its gratuitous felling illustration has exhibition information and prices touting the description of the 3000 year-old tree with a 90' circumference. Some have cited this gratuitous destruction as among of the catalysts of the early environmental movement. Printed by Lawton Kennedy for Francis P. Farquhar unknown
Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Greek (Modern). 79 p. Not in OCLC. The Metropolis of Chalcedon is an ecclesiastical territory (diocese) of the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople. Christianity spread in Chalcedon during the 2nd century AD. The city was initially the see of a bishopric before being promoted to a metropolis at 451 AD, at the time of the Fourth Ecumenical Council. It is one of the four remaining active Greek Orthodox Church metropolises of the Ecumenical Patriarchate in Turkey today and the only one surviving in Asia Minor (Anatolia). During the 14th century, the metropolitan see remained vacant, due to the Ottoman conquest of the region. However, it was reorganized in the 15th century, possibly after the Fall of Constantinople and the subsequent incorporation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate into the millet system of the Ottoman society. The first recorded metropolitan of that time was Joseph, in 1477. In the following years, the jurisdiction of the metropolis was extended to the east. During the late 17th century the see of the diocese was transferred to Kuzguncuk (Ermoulianai, Chrysokeramos), where it remained until 1855. At that period a number of monasteries were established, like the one of Saint Panteleimon, which was declared Stauropegic. The metropolitan of Chalcedon was one of the five Elder metropolitans from the wider region of Constantinople, the other being those of nearby Herakleia, Cyzicus, Nicaea, and Nicomedia. Following an Ottoman decree of 1757, they had to be always present in the Holy Synod of the Ecumenical Patriarchate and had direct access to the Ottoman Sultan, to whom they announced the election of the new Ecumenical Patriarch. From the mid-19th century, the local metropolis prospered thanks to the significant population increase and economic development of the local Orthodox population. In 1855 the see of the metropolitan returned to Chalcedon during the primateship of Metropolitan Gerasimos. Moreover, the newly erected church of Saint Euphemia became the new cathedral. The metropolitan mansion was built near the cathedral in 1902. This is the first and only known printed regulation book of the Greek Community in Chalcedonia (Kadiköy). Extremely rare.
1940158584New York: The Hickory House 1940. Vintage three-color dinner menu from the renowned 52nd Street jazz club circa 1940s with a "Chef's Special" card stapled to the top outer corner of the second leaf.<br /> <br /> One of the longest running and premiere jazz clubs of "Swing Street" as 52nd Street between Fifth and Seventh Avenues was known in the 1930s through the 1950s Hickory House was opened shortly after the repeal of Prohibition in 1933 by impresario John Popkin. Featuring a huge oval music bar depicted on the cover of the menu on offer here Hickory House was both a swing venue and the spot to grab dinner and cocktails before a show. A musician's club Hickory House presented and served jazz luminaries for three decades. Among those known to perform or frequent the venue included Duke Ellington Louis Armstrong Benny Goodman Artie Shaw and Thelonious Monk among countless others many of whom were known to be found sitting in with the house band The Hickory House Trio Marian McPartland Bill Crow and Joe Morello on Sunday afternoons in the 1950s. In 1956 jazz pianist and composer Jutta Hipp released two acclaimed Blue Note albums recorded at the club "At the Hickory House Volume 1" and "At the Hickory House Volume 2." By the mid 1960s the venue was one of the last of the jazz clubs left on 52nd street and by the end of the decade closed. As noted on the back of the menu "Life! Life! From ten thirty until scrambled eggs there is always a popular swingy rhythm band to beat out tuneful and catchy syncopations in their own inimitable style."<br /> <br /> <br /> 10.75 x 14.25 inches bi-fold. Very Good plus with light soiling rubbing and edgewear overall and a faint horizontal crease. The Hickory House unknown

Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Original wrappers. Large 8vo. (21 x 16 cm). In Greek (Modern). 21 p. First and only edition of this exceedingly rare and one of the earliest church regulations of the Greek Orthodox community of Attalia [Antalya]. Attalia was not a large urban center or major trading hub, but neither was the Greek Community marginal, and it was well integrated into the regional economy. It was different from other areas in Asia Minor due to a combination of factors ranging between demography, geography, local Orthodox leadership, and the city's social milieu. In contrast to the West-coast cities and many villages in Asia Minor with Orthodox majorities, Attalia's population was only about one-third Orthodox. The main area of difference in Antalya was the Community leadership, which was key to the maintenance of cordial relationships between Christians and Muslims, and the secular and ecclesiastical elements of Orthodox leadership in Antalya tended to cooperate for collective benefit. Throughout this period, a local elite managed to control education and other Community institutions, perpetuating an identity that was compatible with the local Ottoman context. In this last period, the Greek Community printed several books and tractates including a brief history of Antalya and this "regulation book" in the Meli Printing House, which was the only printing house of the Greek Community in Antalya. Only one institutional copy is located in OCLC 1030075331 (Suna Kiraç Library of the Koç University).
