KING OF SWORDS

When Detective Max Mingus and his partner Joe are called to the scene of a death at Miami's Primate Park it looks like another routine - if slightly bizarre - investigation.

An increasingly bloody trail leads Max and Joe first to a sinister fortune-teller and her scheming pimp son then to the infamous Solomon Boukman. Few have ever met the most feared criminal in Miami but rumours abound of a forked tongue voodoo ceremonies and friends in very high places. 560 pages. First Edition. Hard Cover. As New/As New. Book.

Institutional label mounted on upper front fixed endpaper vintage antique store address stamp on lower front flyleaf otherwise essentially as issued. A masterful analysis of the symbolism techniques history and lore of folk art among the Pennsylvania Germans. The son of the Rev. John Baer Stoudt born near Maxatawny Berks Co. later spent most of his career in the pulpit in Northampton and traveling throughout Berks Lehigh and Northampton Co. John Joseph Stoudt taught at Millersville and Kutztown Universities and actively published on PA German history for a number of decades. This volume began life in his graduate education and was originally published as "Consider the Lilies How They Grow" Vol. 2 of the publications of the PA German Folklore Society in 1937. It was considerably revised and expanded for republication in 1948 by Schlechter's under the present title out of series from the other PGFS publications. Finally in 1966 it was again published and again with substantial revisions as the final PGFS annual prior to that organization's demise and incorporation into the reorganized PA German Society PGS. Publishing history aside Stoudt tackles the whole of PA German arts ranging especially from fraktur fractur and other forms of illuminated manuscripts as Henry C. Mercer preferred to call them to printed Taufscheine & broadsides to painted furniture toleware redware pottery tall case clocks homespun samplers cookie cutters and any other material culture or domestic artifact that could augment his arguments.

Mercer during the early years of the Mercer Museum in Bucks County about PA German stoveplate legends and inscriptions among other things; many of his letters to Mercer are in the files of the Spruance Library of the Bucks County Historical Society. Thus it comes as no surprise that son John Joseph should have taken so active an interest in the local scene; what is more difficult to account for are his prodigious scholarship his complete immersion in world mythological and folkloric traditions and his rendering of so graceful a fabric as he has here produced as valuable for its graceful style as for its conclusions. Reading like Jung or Joseph Campbell in places and quite like Irwin Panofsky's work on Medieval iconography in others Stoudt's work has never been equaled in terms of its scope its erudition or its finesse.
