Falling Upward Original poster from the 2001 Falcon Theatre production
Burbank CA: Pandemonium Theatre Company 2001. Original poster for the 2001 Falcon Theatre production of the Ray Bradbury play "Falling Upward!" The production ran from November 27 2001 to December 30 2001. <br/><br/>"Falling Upward!" was known to be one of Bradbury's favorite plays and he often encouraged its production especially as he advanced in age simply for the joy of being able to see it again. Set entirely in an Irish bar with an entirely male cast he had in previous incantations considered the addition of a lone female cast member before deciding that was historically inaccurate. The play coalesced out of his experiences in Ireland which he first wrote into a short story entitled "The Anthem Sprinters" and which then were later incorporated into "Falling Upward!"<br/><br/>Bradbury was an avid playwright and a familiar and enthusiastic presence in the Southern Californian theater circuit near his home. In 1963 he and director Charles Rome Smith founded Pandemonium Theatre Company.

ROME. MIRABILIA. Solinus Gaius Julius 3rd c.
Polyhistor sive De mirabilibus mundi sive Collectanea rerum memorabilium. Add: Mirabilia Romae
<p>Venice: Theodorus de Ragazonibus 23 August 1491</p><p>Quarto: 20.5 x 14.9 cm. 52 leaves. Collation: a-f8 g4<br /></p><p>SIXTH EDITION OF THE SOLINUS 1st ed. 1473. THIS IS THE FIRST AND ONLY EDITION WITH THE "MIRABILIA ROMAE".</p><p>Bound in early vellum with later endpapers. A fine fresh copy with nice margins printed on high-quality paper. First leaf slightly soiled and with mild wear to the edges a few trivial light stains verso of final leaf lightly soiled faded early inscription to title.</p><p>The "Mirabilia Romae" Marvels of Rome has achieved iconic status. It is the oldest extant guidebook to the city of Rome and the forerunner to all later guides to the Eternal City. Composed around 1143 possibly by a certain Benedict a canon of St. Peter's it serves as a guide to the ruins of the ancient city with explanations of the origins and functions of the buildings and places described see below for a discussion of the contents.</p><p>The book was a bestseller for over 300 years from the Middle Ages to the Roman Renaissance appearing in numerous cheaply-printed editions in the 15th and early 16th c. the majority of them small slim octavos of just a few leaves. As a result of heavy use by tourists and pilgrims copies of all editions are extremely rare. Of the 111! editions recorded in ISTC dating from ca. 1472 to ca. 1511 many survive in only single copies and almost all in fewer than five. The work is very rare in North America with the text represented in only twelve North American institutions see the references at the foot of this description.</p><p>The 1491 "Mirabilia" which appeared in a more substantial volume along with the ancient 3rd c. "Marvels of the World" by Solinus has fared better. In North America this 1491 edition is held by 9 institutions: Walters Art Museum Harvard LC BYU Huntington Smithsonian Newberry UT Austin and Yale.</p><p>The mix of lore and fact found in the "Mirabilia" made the text a natural companion to the "Mirabilia" Solinus who "routinely eschews the mundane in favor of the bizarre to use geography as a structure through which wonders might be revealed."</p><p>The text is divided into chapters that describe in this order: the walls of Rome the city gates the hills of Rome the bridges the "palaces" of the emperors-with mention of the columns of Trajan and Antoninus Pius and the apocryphal "Palace of Nero"; triumphal and memorial arches baths theatres the Vatican obeliskthought to house the ashes of Julius Caesar in its bronze finial cemeteries and catacombs both pagan and Christian the places where the saints suffered martyrdom the giant bronze pine cone the "pigna" temples the Capitol the "marble horses" the Quirinal Dioscuri the equestrian statue of "Constantine" i.e. Marcus Aurelius the Colosseum the Pantheon and the church of Santa Maria in Ara Coeli with an account of Octavian's vision of the Madonna and Child.</p><p>The often fantastic tales recounted in the Mirabilia were sure to inspire a sense of wonder in the pilgrims and tourists who came to marvel at the ruins which helps to explain why the guidebook remained so popular even after the 15th c. humanists and antiquarians had begun to tease out the reality of Rome's antiquities through a more scientific examination of ruins and texts.</p><p>The "Mirabilia" describes the vanished Capitolium as a palace composed almost entirely of gold said to be worth "a third of the word's wealth". Within this temple were as many statues as there were provinces all facing a statue that represented Rome. They were adorned "by mathematical art" with bells around their necks as a sort of ancient early warning system. Whenever one of the provinces anywhere in the empire would start a revolt its corresponding statue would turn away from the statue of Rome and its bell would begin to ring. The Senate would then mobilize and send troops to crush the uprising.</p><p>In the description of the Colosseum the seed of historical truth the colossus of Nero depicted as the sun god Sol gives rise to a marvelous conception of the amphitheater as a temple of the Sun the great opening above once covered with a gilded bronze dome that mimicked the sky complete with thunder and lightning and rain that was pumped through lead "fistula". The artificial sky was adorned with golden images of the planets and Luna riding her four-horse chariot. A monumental statue of the Sun whose head reached to the sky stood within bearing an orb in his hand a symbol of the Earth. Pope Sylvester we are told destroyed the temple but the arm and head of the statue were still to be seen in the Lateran where the general public misidentified them as belonging to Sampson. The colossal arm and head -moved to the Capitoline in 1471- are now recognized as those of the emperor Constantine.</p><p>However the "Mirabilia" also contains much that is factual or nearly so and we can sense a desire to make accurate statements the heights of the columns of Antoninus Pius and Trajan for instance and to solve what were certainly difficult puzzles the workings of the ancient baths. The "Mirabilia" also preserves for us the names and details of monuments known to the author but later destroyed such as the elusive "Arcus Pietatis" near the Pantheon and the 4th century arch of Gratian Valentinian and Theodosius See Richardson New Topographical Dictionary pp. 26 28. But what is perhaps most valuable to us is the window that the "Mirabilia" provides into the medieval perception of Rome a city of pagan ruins and Christian monuments in which emperors saints prophetic youths and Virgil the Magician inhabit the same landscape.</p><p>Solinus:</p><p>"Gaius Julius Solinus who probably lived between the middle and the end of the third century was concerned with geography though not in the modern sense of the term. His work is entitled Collectanea Rerum Memorabilium but in the Middle Ages when it was widely read it was also known as Polyhistor to emphasize the great number of curiosities that were collected there. The work is a careful compilation from many literary sources chiefly Pliny the Elder but also Pomponius Mela and Suetonius along with various other geographical treatises that are no longer extant. Solinus noted down all the unusual things he came across when reading these works about peoples and their customs animals and plants…</p><p>"The work opens with a full treatment of Rome and Roman history from the kings to the principate of Augustus. The area examined is then extended to Italy and then to Greece and the Black Sea Germany Gaul Britain and Spain; this counterclockwise tour ends with Africa Arabia Asia Minor India and the kingdom of the Parthians in accordance with a systematic geographical plan that is one of the most characteristic features of the work. It enjoyed considerable success in the Middle Ages when it was also read and studied as a summary of the excessively vast Naturalis Historia of Pliny the Elder. It did not however altogether replace it with the result that it enjoyed so to speak a success parallel to that of its more illustrious predecessor."Conte</p><p>"Referring to the reading of Pliny and Solinus in the Middle Ages and Renaissance Anthony Grafton writes: 'Generations of readers thrilled like Desdemona listening to Othello at these tales of strange creatures foods and burial customs – and were no doubt stimulated by them to see the inhabitants of strange lands as literally outlandish less than civilized or even less than human.' Charles Raymond Beazley has made note of this remarkable appeal: 'The compilation of Solinus… became so fashionable in the Middle Ages and exercised so powerful an influence on the geographical imagination that it cannot be passed over. It is simply a collection of marvels chiefly of natural history brought together apparently on the principle 'Credo' or at least 'Lego quia impossibile.'… no one ever influenced Christian geography more profoundly or mischievously."</p><p>"References to and borrowings from Solinus can be found in a wide variety of medieval texts stretching though the whole of the medieval period. Readers of Solinus ranged from Augustine to Bede to Dante and Solinus' influence can be seen in examples as varied as the Hereford Mappa mundi ca. 1300 and Fazio degli Uberti's verse epic 'Dittamondo' 14th c. in which Solinus in the place of Dante's Virgil guides a pilgrim on a tour of the known world. The interest in Solinus had not waned by the fifteenth century… While geography was not a primary area of interest for the humanists Solinus Pliny and authors like them were widely read and commented upon by Renaissance scholars… The strong interest in antiquity that characterized the Renaissance continued the medieval curiosity for the Roman compilers who seemed to have succeeded in encapsulating the entire world and all the knowledge in it."Dover and McDonough</p><p>Hain-Copinger 14880; BMC V 478; Schudt le guide di Roma 565; Goff S 620; GW M42830.

DAVILA Pedro Franco 1713 1785; and JBL. de Rome de L'Isle 1736 1790 J. B.
Catalogue Systematique et Raisonne des curiosites . de M. Dávila
Paris: Briasson 1767. 8vo 3 vols. 7 11/16 x 4 5/8 inches. 36 571; 6 656; 6 290 286 1 pp. 30 engraved plates some folding. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards spines in six compartments with raised bands ruled and lettered in gilt with armorial crests in two compartments red edges.<br/> <br/>First and only edition of this comprehensive catalog of the Parisian curiosity collection of Pedro Dávila.<br/> <br/>Pedro Franco Dávila was born in Guayaquil in present-day Peru and studied natural sciences in Lima before moving to Paris in 1740. He took an interest in collecting around that time and over the course of 20 years he amassed the largest collection of natural history specimens in all of Paris. He sought to preserve it by establishing an institution in Spain but after King Carlos III rejected his request Dávila was forced to put the collection up for auction to settle the debts he incurred in building it. The Dávila catalogue as it became known was prepared as a sale catalogue when he sold the collection off in Paris prior to returning to his native Peru. Considering the size of the collection the sale became one of the major auction events of that time period and the catalogue was distributed widely in Paris London Amsterdam Rotterdam and Basel. The catalogue describes 8096 mineral specimens from a broad range of places including Canada Mexico and Paraguay. It further describes over 12000 prints and engravings 1741 original artworks 441 maps plus various scientific instruments and precious stones. It also lists 5253 shells 600 preserved animals 101 plants 3915 fossils 154 bezoars and calculi and 402 books. "Dávila had already written many descriptions but it was his introduction through Balthasar Sage to the young Romé de l'Isle that created this remarkable record of the collection. Romé de l'Isle took the existing material added considerably to the mineralogical descriptions and put the catalog into publishable form. In this task he was assisted by Abbé Duguat who helped with the mineralogical descriptions and Abbé Gua de Malves 1712-1786 who described the shells. Through their efforts two volumes describing natural history specimens were produced one of which was entirely devoted to minerals. In addition a third volume written by Romé de l'Isle probably with assistance from Pierre Remy describes the fossils artwork and books. "The published catalog provides a detailed insight into his collection his special tastes and preferences. The major value of the collection lay in its superb mineral specimens many of which were finely crystallized examples. Romé de l'Isle fully described the many fine mineralogical specimens which included examples of native silver from Norway cassiterite from the Dutch East Indies crocoite from Siberia pyrite from Columbia and calcite from Saxony etc." The Mineralogical Record. Dávila was able to make more than enough to pay off his creditors and subsequently began to amass a second collection. Within three years in October 1771 King Carlos III agreed to accept this second collection and Dávila became the founder and first director of the Royal Cabinet of Natural History of Madrid now known as the National Museum of Natural Sciences where his specimens are still located today.<br/> <br/>Nissen ZBI 1050; Wilson 209; Conlon 67:1238; Sinkankas 1594.

ROME. Sadeler Aegidius 1570 1629
Vestigi delle antichita di Roma Tivoli Pozzvolo et altri luochi. Con privilegio di sua Sac. Ces. Mae. Stampati in Praga da Aegidio Sadeler scultore di essa mae 1606.
<p>Prague: Aegidius Sadeler 1606. </p><p>Price: $25000.00 </p><p>Oblong folio: 34.7 x 203.5 cm. Engraved title page and 50 engraved plates.</p><p>FIRST EDITION.</p><p>A very fine broad-margined copy with very rich and clear impressions of the plates. Occ. marginal soiling a few pin-prick wormholes in the margins of a few leaves. Bound in contemporary morocco richly tooled in gold. With an engraved allegorical title with the main title incised within a wolf's hide hung on a monument; an engraved dedication to Matthaeus Wacker von Wackenfels numbered'1' with the text incised on a stone tablet between flanking obelisks and with two putti supporting the dedicatee's arms; and 49 full-paged engraved plates ca. 170 x 270 mm all numbered and signed 'Marco Sadeler excudit' with descriptive captions in Italian.</p><p>This is the first edition. Thirty-six of these images were copied by Aegidius Sadeler from Etienne Du Pérac's " Vestigi dell'Antichità di Roma" Rome 1575. For the other images Sadeler drew on drawings by Jan Breughel the elder and Pieter Stevens. Marco Sadeler whose name appears on the plates was an engraver and print seller in Prague in the early 1600's and probably the nephew of Aegidius. In the middle of the 17th century a copy of the 1606 edition found its way to Rome where it was copied for Giovanni Giacomo de' Rossi by Girolamo Ferri and published in 1660.<br /><br />In this series the artists have depicted the ancient monuments of Rome Tivoli and Pozzuoli as they appeared in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century: crowned with vegetation half-buried by the rising ground level and encroached upon by a host of post-Roman structures. The scenes are alive with Rome's inhabitants: herdsmen mule-drivers cattle sheep and every manner of citizen. The images in which the ruins are depicted in their un-restored state and within the context of their early modern environments serve as a record of the monuments as they appeared in this period and evoke the atmosphere of daily life in early modern Rome.<br /><br />Sadeler and The Bay of Naples: <br /><br />In addition to the views of Rome the Sadeler series also includes a number of plates of ruins and views of the Bay of Naples and its environs: the Gulf of Baiae Cuma Lago Averno the Campi Flegrei Capo Miseno and the Villa Agrippina at Oplontis and other places within the confines of Pozzuoli.</p><p>Cicognara 3871; Hollstein.

Concilium Romanum in sacrosancta Basilica Lateranensi celebratum anno universalis jubilaei MDCCXXV.
Romae: Typis Bernabò sumptibus Francisci Giannini bibliopolae 1725. 8vo 19 cm; 7.5". 18 ff. 464 pp. 12 last a blank ff. <br><br>During the first year of Benedict XIII's pontificate 1725 as the bishop of Rome he hosted a concilium for the province of Rome. The assembled prelates met in the Lateran Basilica to review and revise the rules and laws regulating the clergy in and of the province producing revisions that were numerous and important. These were promulgated promptly and published in several editions in 1725. This is one of three editions we have identified as being printed in that year all from the press of the same printer. No priority has yet been established for their order of appearance. Contemporary vellum over light pasteboards with slightly raised bands; the vellum used here was recovered from earlier use in a binding or some document. Some foxing and other staining/soiling in text; in all a solid good to good-plus copy. Typis Bernabò, sumptibus Francisci Giannini bibliopolae hardcover books
