KIRCHER Athanasius SJ. 1601 or 1602 1680 S. J.
Prodromus coptus sive aegyptiacus: . in quo cum linguae Coptae sive Aegyptiacae quondam Pharaonicae origo aetas vicissitudo inclinatio tum hieroglyphicae literaturae instauratio . exhibentur
Rome: Typis S. Cong de propag: Fide 1636. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 230 x 170mm. xxiv 338pp. ii. Illustrated throughout with woodcut tables and charts of Egyptian characters and hieroglyphs. Contemporary vellum; intermittently browned occasional spots. <br/><br/>Father Athanasius Kircher was a 17th-century German Jesuit scholar and polymath who published around 40 works most notably in the fields of oriental studies geology and medicine. He was heralded as possessing the secret of deciphering hieroglyphics and was widely regarded as the physical embodiment of all the learning of his age. He had over 760 correspondents including scientists Jesuit missionaries and world potentates and wrote about an enormous range of interests ranging from optics to music from Egyptology to magnetism. Perhaps best known of his correspondents is Jan Marek Marci of Kronland 1595-1667 for sending Kircher a mysterious illustrated manuscript written in an unknown script famously known today as the Voynich Manuscript. In 1635 Kircher began to write his book Prodromus Coptus Introduction to Coptic Language and in the autumn of 1636 the book was printed. Kircher saw the ancient languages as an essential foundation for any pious philosophy. Kircher envisioned Rome as a unique center within to unlock the mysteries of Hermetic knowledge inscribed on the obelisks. The project of restoring Egyptian wisdom entailed nothing less than an effort to renovate the lost arts of communication that linked divine and human languages. Unfortunately while in other disciplines he made valuable discoveries his explanation of hieroglyphs was absolutely incorrect. We can probably explain it by his passion that might have sometimes blinded his reasoning. Yet Kirchers Prodomus remains an important study from a most respected scholar.

Klondike Gold Rush
PAIR OF TYPED LETTERS FROM A MINER IN THE KLONDIKE GOLD RUSH AND ON HIS WAY BACK TO THE UNITED STATES TO PURCHASE GOODS FOR HIS MERCHANT BUSINESS
Circle City Alaska and on a steamer between Juneau and Seattle 1897. 12pp. typed on folio sheets of onion-skin paper plus three hand-drawn maps. A total of some 6750 words. Stapled at upper edge. Three horizontal folds. Near fine. A very interesting pair of typed letters from a young man in Alaska during the Klondike Gold Rush. The anonymous author wrote these two letters to his parents describing his journey overland and by water to the Birch Creek mining district his experiences mining for gold and his decision to go into business as a merchant. The letters are written in a detailed style that indicates an educated author. They include three manuscript sketches showing the routes traversed in Alaska and provide a great deal of information about the writer's experiences in the Klondike. These letters are typed but they were likely originally handwritten by the author who later typed them and included his manuscripts maps and sketch in order to send them to his family when he arrived in Seattle or San Francisco. <br> <br> The letter dated Nov. 10 begins with a description of the writer's boat journey from Juneau to Dyea which was a popular disembarkation point for the Chilkoot Trail to Dawson City a center of the gold rush. He arrived at Dyea on April 23 and notes that "dinner at the Dyea post was the last square meal I have had up to the present date November 10." After dinner he loaded his equipment on horses for the journey inland: <br> <br> "My outfit consisted of about 1000 lbs. of provisions guns amunition sic tools for boat building a whip-saw jack-plane cross- cut saw hand saw rip saw hatchet hammer draw knife brace and bits square etc. and clothing blankets tent sheet-iron stone and in fact I think I had about every thing that ever went down the Yukon. Altogether my outfit weighed about 1302 pounds which is much more than is usually taken into the interior." <br> <br> The author spent the next several days transporting his provisions between Dyea and Lake Linderman and he includes in his letter a sketch of the route from Dyea through the valley to the lake noting several camps along the way as well as a sketch of his sled. <br> <br> The second letter dated Feb. 17 1897 was written on board the steamer Al Ki between Juneau and Seattle. He continues the narrative of his trip inland explaining that he arrived at Lake Linderman on May 14. A month later on June 14 the author and a partner their canoe loaded with provisions departed for Circle City which they reached on June 29. There they stored most of their provisions and headed for the mines in the Birch Creek region. Mining was at its height in the middle of the summer but rather than seek out a claim on their own the author and his companion Jim Wishard decided to work for other miners earning some $10 a day. He describes working at mining from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m. the long days making the task of working at night possible. In August the author bought a claim in the Harrison Creek region but decided to forego mining in favor of establishing himself as a merchant: <br> <br> "From what I could see the miners are poorly supplied with food by the two companies and there is always a great demand for luxuries; that is something out of the ordinary and even the necessaries of life. I made up my mind last summer that I could do as well bringing in some food - in other words being something of a merchant - as in any other way to start and having a good knowledge of the country and keeping my eyes open I would undoubtedly have many good chances for speculation. It is a conceded fact that one cannot lose money taking in such an outfit. Everything brings in an average profit of 400 per cent. over the original cost and whatever any one has to sell in the 'grub' line is in demand." <br> <br> The author then describes his construction of a small cabin in Circle City and his decision soon afterward to leave Alaska for the winter. He describes the trip to Dyea undertaken in January and the hardships of winter overland travel in Alaska. Included are some very practical tips: <br> <br> "In crossing water when it is thirty or forty degrees below zero one should dip his moccasins into the water very quickly taking them out before the moccasin is wet through. They will then freeze in a mass on your feet and will serve the same purpose as rubber boots. You can then walk right through water though I would not advise any one to tempt Providence too much." <br> <br> The letter concludes with a description of a recently discovered gold strike called "Bonanza" not far from the Forty Mile camp. The author describes the high hopes around the strike and includes a manuscript map of the region indicating the location of a claim in which he himself has invested. He hopes that his mine will bring him some wealth but reiterates his belief that the way to wealth in the Yukon Gold Rush is by supplying miners with goods and that he is on his way to Seattle and San Francisco to buy provisions to resell. hardcover books

KOIKAWA (or INSUITEI), Shozan, artist
From the block-printed labels on upper covers of Vols. I & II: Mitsu no nagame one possible reading of the kanji: The View of the Beautiful City; Vol. I sub-title label: first characters indecipherable but from another copy we know the word is Sumidagawa no yuki Snow at Sumida River; Vol. II sub-title label: Musashino no tsuki Moon of Musashino; title at beginning of text: Hanakatsura nagame no gin sekai Flowers on the Tree in the Wintery Silver World
Vol. I: Illustrated “title-page†one double-page woodcut with foldouts to form a four-panel diptych with the addition of a “trick super flap†depicting three female genitalia young woman mistress & wife six double-page woodcuts & two single-page woodcuts all color-printed; & three double-page black & white woodcuts. Vol. II: Illustrated “title-page†five double-page woodcuts & two single-page woodcuts all color-printed; & four double-page black & white woodcuts. Vol. III: Illustrated “title-page†four double-page woodcuts & two full-page woodcuts all color-printed; & three black & white double-page woodcuts. All leaves have color-printed borders. .5 1 folding leaf of preface color-printed 13 folding leaves; .5 13 folding leaves; .5 12 folding leaves. Three vols. 8vo orig. decorated semi-stiff patterned boards with color-printed symbols of the moon flowers & snowflakes orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers of Vols. I & II lacking on Vol. III but there is no evidence a label was ever there new stitching. Japan: Preface dated 1850.<br /> <BR> <BR> First edition and very rare; we can find no copy in WorldCat or NIJL. Almost all of the techniques that make Japanese illustrated books so remarkable are utilized here. Finely illustrated and richly colored this late shunga employs bokashi the delicate variation of shading of pigment within the image; blind-embossing; and the very ample use of metallic pigments. The depicted garments are a mixture of extremely complex textures colors and patterns all accentuated by blind-embossing and multiple woodblock impressions.<br /> <BR> <BR> In Vol. I the folding woodcuts — which reveal a man and woman engaging in sex — open to reveal a fine and complex four-panel scene in which we see three couples also having sex: a young couple a man with his mistress and the same man with his wife. On the third panel from the right a hidden “trick†flap is revealed depicting and comparing the genitalia of these three women. This “trick†panel has the title printed with seven kanji characters the first two are indecipherable: “…mitate setsugekka†“…Visual Puns of Snow Moon Flowerâ€.<br /> <BR> <BR> Each volume begins with a finely colored paste-down leaf artistically depicting the themes of snow moon and flower with poems. Facing each of these leaves is a portrait of a woman: mistress young and wife. All the black & white woodcuts also depict men and women engaging in sex and self-pleasuring.<br /> <BR> <BR> Koikawa 1821-1907 was a prolific artist. He illustrated as well as wrote numerous books under various pen names. At the end of the Preface in Vol. I we find “Insuitei†one of his pen names.<br /> <BR> <BR> Fine set with fresh coloring. The four-panel diptych has several small burn holes on the right-hand side. One black & white illustration has been “heightened†with red ink in a very minor way. Slight thumbing and a few minor stains. unknown
