‎Cuba. Literary Manuscripts‎

‎Flores Historicas. Extracto de la Obra Francesa de P. Larousse. Traduccion de A. Almeida. Copia de J.F. Pellon manuscript title‎

‎Habana 1884. Good plus. 2496 i.e. 498pp. Quarto. Contemporary calf gilt a.e.g.; rebacked with original spine laid down. Corners repaired with later black buckram; boards scuffed spine chipped. Hinges cracked repaired with later cloth and renewed endpapers. Minor scattered foxing and toning to text. Accomplished in a neat highly legible hand. A very attractive manuscript translation into Spanish of Pierre Larousse's well-known work on eminent and historical personages Fleurs Historiques des Dames et des Gens du Monde in a contemporary Cuban gilt goatskin binding. The manuscript connects three figures in the upper social echelons of Cuban society. José Fernandez Pellon the scribe of this volume is recorded as the Grand Master of Cuba's freemasons lodge the Gran Logia Unida de Colón y la Isla de Cuba. The translator Aurelio Almeida helped to found the organization in 1875 and at this time served as the Lodge Secretary. The initials E.D. gilt at the foot of the spine and the dedicatory inscription "A Eugenia Desvernine" refer to Eugenia Desvernine y Galdós b. 1865 daughter of the famous Cuban pianist Pablo Desvernine and Carolina Galdós y Echániz. She was also the niece of Benito Pérez Galdós the Spanish realist novelist who some authorities consider only second in stature to Cervantes. A contemporary social register remarks that Eugenia was one of the most beautiful women in Cuba perhaps an inspiration for the painstaking production of this manuscript. The original work by Larousse was a loose collection of religious parables classical myths biographies of ancient and modern historical figures. The title of the manuscript advises that is an extract and in the brief introduction Almeida explains his selection process writing that "He suprimido algunos artículos sobre cosas muy sabidas de la historia sagrada; y otros sobre la de Francia que mencionan frases ó personas casi ninca citadas ó citades solamente por las escritores francesas." He also notes several alterations and additions more relevant to Spanish history saying "En Cambio he agregado algunos artículos sobre historia de España que no están en el original y he tomado unos pocos de otra obra del mismo Mr. Larousse y de libros diversos." The result is an original amalgam of biographies historical episodes and religious parables. Interestingly we find no recorded printed editions of Larousse's work in Spanish so that the present manuscript is also an entirely original work of translation. A fascinating product of the cultural interests and mores of Cuban high society near the end of the Spanish colonial period. unknown books‎

‎Cuba. Medical Periodicals‎

‎La Emulacion. Periodico Mensual de Farmacia Quimica e Historia Natural Medicas y Toxicologia‎

‎Havana: Viuda de Barcina y Comp 1864. Good. Twenty-three issues each approximately 32pp. No. 11 with folding chart lacks pp.25-32. No. 13 lacking last few leaves. With title page and half title at start of each volume. Original quarter calf and boards spine gilt. Spine ends chipped and worn some crude glue residue; hinges solid. Boards heavily worn. Light toning and wear to text light scattered worming throughout. A rare run of the first two years of the first Cuban pharmacological magazine and one of the island's earliest medical periodicals. La Emulacion was published from 1863 through 1867 with the present sammelband containing all issues published in 1863 and 1864 a total of twenty-three issues. Their mission statement that heads the first issue here reads in part: "Animados del deseo de ser útiles al pais -- en cuanto nuestras fuerzas lo permitan-- hemos resuelto dar à luz en esta ciudad un periódico que ocupándose preferentemente de todo lo relativo à la Farmacia no descuide por eso la química é historia natural médicas y la toxicología ciencias de que no pueden prescindir ni los Médicos ni los Farmacéuticos y cuya importancia en el dia pocos podrán desconocer. Procurarémos pues que en nuestro periódico hallen cabida las producciones originales de los que en Cuba cultivan la Farmacia la química é historia natural médicas y la toxicología; mas no olvidarémos por eso que léjos de nuestro suelo existen los mas célebres y laboriosos de los cultivadores de esas ciencias y que La Emulacion no llenaría la mision que nos proponemos si no hiciéramos figurar en ella lo que se dé à luz en Europa y merezca la sancion de las personas ilustradas." The resulting publication contains numerous original articles by Cuban pharmacists doctors and scientists as well as important work published outside of Cuba. Additionally the issues include biographies of significant figures in the field accounts of local scientific societies including the Real Academica de Ciencias de la Habana and publication of new pharmacological formulas discovered in Cuba or "adapted for the needs of the country." As a result the periodical forms an important record of medical and pharmacological developments and thought on the island in the mid-19th century. We locate only one run of this pioneering periodical at the National Library of Cuba with only the present set of issues appearing in auction records. Bound between Volumes I and II is a pamphlet by Fernando Paez "Manual de farmacia practica" Havana 1864 possibly incomplete at 8 pages; no examples of this pamphlet appear in OCLC.
