‎Der Verfasser Conrad Grütsch wurde vor 1409 in Basel geboren und stirbt vor 1475. Er nahm am Basler Konzil teil. Seit 1437 war er Lektor in Wien, Zürich, Mülhausen/Elsass, Bern und Freiburg/Schweiz. Die Predigersammlung wurde um 1440 in Basel verfasst und erfreute sich großer Beliebtheit. Conrad Grütsch war wahrscheinlich der Bruder des in den gedruckten Ausgaben des Quadragesimale als Verfasser genannten Johannes Gritsch. Johann Zainer war der Erstdrucker in Ulm! Johann Zainer, ein Bruder des Augsburger Druckers Günther Zainer, stammte wie dieser aus Reutlingen. Auch er ist vor seiner Druckertätigkeit in Straßburg gewesen und hat dort seine Frau gefunden. Seine Druckerwerkstätte bekundet diese Verwandtschaft. Seine älteste Textschrift ist eine ziemlich getreue Nachbildung von Günther Zainers Type 1 - natürlich nicht ohne einige kleine Eigenheiten (h).

Unfortunately this handsome large paper copy has suffered from water damage sometime in the past, additional photographs are available upon request. This set with the additional set of etchings on india paper by George Lewis, of a classic work of the utmost importance for its wealth of eye-witness information and anecdotes about printed books, manuscripts, buildings, other artefacts and people, both from past centuries and from the author's own day, for the extraordinary collection of illustrations, mostly drawn during the tour itself, and finally as a sumptuous piece of book production. As soon as the book appeared, leading scholars derided Dibdin for his lack of scholarship, especially concerning early manuscripts and printed books. But one must distinguish between the extensive and extremely useful information about things and people Dibdin saw during his 1818 tour, and his own interpretations and conclusions, which now serve only as a window to the attitudes of the time. Dibdin's enthusiasm, readable style and entertaining anecdotes, moreover, caught the mood of his age, making the book extremely popular and influential. Lewis' A Series of Groups... was intended to accompany Dibdin's Tour but was rejected by Dibdin as unworthy of his book. Lewis, most perturbed, issued them at his own expense and presented his case in the eight-page Advertisement which was separately printed. Jackson 48; 56; 56n: Windle & Pippin A38a; A44; D13.‎

‎[OTTOMAN MAP of EAST ANATOLIA in ENVERÎ SCRIPT - HURÛF-I MUNFASILA] Bayazid, Bargiri, Nahcivan, Karakilise.‎

‎Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original color map of Eastern Anatolia, Dogu Beyazit, Bayazid, Bargiri, Nakhchevan, Karakilise, Van, etc. 50x60 cm. In Ottoman script (Enverî). 1 p. Scale: 1:200.000. Slightly toned, several small holes on paper. Otherwise a very good copy. Enverî script is the war minister Enver Pasha's alphabet and writing amendment, which he tried to implement within the Ministry of War between 12 March 1914 and 10 August 1914. Starting from the Tanzimat (Westernization) period in the Ottoman Empire, the discussions on simplification in language, writing, alphabet and reading-writing had increased and at the end of the 19th century, military necessities also became one of the concerns. The problems such as the low rate of literacy among the recruited soldiers, the need to teach the soldiers how to read and write in a short time, and their misconceptions about the spelling of proper nouns led Enver Pasha to add the writing problem to his reform agenda, once he took office. Enver Pasha's reform is based on the principle of writing the Ottoman letters, which take different forms in the beginning, in the middle and at the end according to their unification with the other letters, separately in their original state without merging them. While this new alphabet was being created, the existing 32 letters in the Ottoman were preserved. The 8 vowels in the Turkish language, which could not be written with the old letters, was shown by placing small marks on the existing vowels and by doing so a new alphabet consisting of a total of 40 letters was created. With this alphabet, officially called 'Ordu Elifbasi', rules were adopted such as writing of the letters without merging them, writing the words as they are pronounced. At first glance, Enver Pasha's writing reform, which appeared as a definite solution to the theory of the solution of the ongoing debates on the alphabet and the spelling, formed a wide experiment field in the military. It was not possible to use Ordu Elifbasi, which essentially is a transliteration alphabet that allows transferring the sounds of these three different languages (Turkish, Arabic, Persian) to a single alphabet, in the daily life. Thanks to this new alphabet and spelling, learning to read and write were accelerated to some extent. However, it was seen that the literacy rate of the well-educated, literate people fell to the spelling and did not even progress. This alphabet and spelling reform, which Enver Pasha thought of spreading to the whole country, caused much more problems as it was experienced in the army. Although it was postponed until the end of the mobilization period following the declaration of the mobilization, Ordu Elifbasi, which remained in force for 152 days, eventually failed to be realized. (Source: Karakus: Enver Pasha's Alphabet And Spelling Attempt: Ordu Elifbasi (Army Alphabet)).In this extremely rare document, there are some articles and thoughts on a case. This is one the serie of the Bonn projection maps which are the first map series in modern techniques in Turkey and the Ottoman Empire. In order to produce these maps covering Turkish territory, Reconnaissance Branch was incorporated into The Mapping Commission. The maps were produced in the datum based on the latitude and longitude of Ayasofya Mosque in equal area Bonn Projection. The field works for the 123 sheets covering the country were conducted by 76 staff. The production was completed in 18 years starting from east west. Field works continued without stopping except in years 1914 and 1920. This map series called also reconnaissance maps contributed a lot to producing 1:25.000 scale maps. Extremely rare.

Eyb is the name of an old Franconian noble family which is named after Eyb in Ansbach. It is likely this volume was owned by a contemporary with familial ties to the author and stayed within the family until the early 20th century. Eighth Edition of this important work of German Humanism. Albrecht von Eyb one of the earliest German Humanists was born in 1420 near Ansbach. Eyb went to Italy and devoted himself to humanistic study at the Universities of Pavia and Bologna. He returned to Germany in 1451 having been appointed Canon at Eichst�tt and Bamberg. From 1452 to 1459 he was again a student at Bologna gaining the degree of doctor in 1459. That same year Eyb wrote Margarita poetica in honor of his mother Margarete von Wolmershausen. It was first published in Nuremberg by Johann Senschschmidt in 1472 and reprinted at least 13 times by 1503. It remained a popular manual of classical rhetoric by its three distinct focuses: letter-writing model orations and florilegia compilation of excerpts. The work is known for its vivid expression found within selected passages from classical and contemporary authors from Cicero to Petrarch. The Catholic Encyclopedia calls it �a textbook of humanistic rhetoric consisting of a collection of passages in prose and verse from Latin authors to which are added specimens of humanistic eloquence.� Of only about 40 in existence OCLC locates 13 copies of this edition in US collections.

‎NOEL (François Joseph Michel), né en 1756 dans un milieu très modeste (son père était fripier), décédé en 1841, a eu une destinée hors du commun. Enfant surdoué il est admis au collège Louis-Le-grand ou il est le condisciple de Robespierre. Ordonné prêtre il commence une carrière d’enseignant agrégé (1779-1782), puis il enseigne la grammaire au collège Louis-Le-Grand. Dans le même temps, il entreprend une carrière littéraire et publie « poésie et pièces d’éloquence ». Emporté par l’idéal révolutionnaire. Il renonce à son état ecclésiastique en 1791, démissionne de son poste et devient un fervent défenseur de la révolution dans le journal « La Chronique » (1792). Fin 1792 il entre au ministère des affaires étrangères à Londres. Puis à la Haye en tant que ministre plénipotentiaire. Il échappe à la guillotine suite à l’intervention de son ami Robespierre. Il traverse alors la révolution française, le consulat et l’empire en menant une fulgurante carrière. A la chute de l’empire il sera mis à l’écart ce qui ne l’empêchera pas de produire à rythme soutenu de nombreux ouvrages de philologie et littérature. L’œuvre de François NOEL est importante, il laisse plus de 80 titres s’adressant aussi bien à la littérature et l’enseignement, qu’aux langues étrangères. Ces manuscrits font parti d’découverte de ces manuscrits inédits révèle une facette inattendue de l’inspecteur général. Celui d’un amoureux de la langue et des mots, un esprit curieux et original, voir fantasque qui eut put trouver sa place plus d’un siècle plus tard auprès de Raymond Quenaud et Georges Perec au sein de l’Oulipo.‎

‎Blatt aus der Erstausgabe des Speculum humanae. Der Inkunabelkatalog (INKA) und der BVB geben an, dass das Werk im Kloster St. Ulrich und Afra gedruckt wurde. Der erste Holzschnitt zeigt den Weinschenk des Pharao im Blockpranger oder auch Schandblock genannt. Der Schandblock ist zwischen zwei starken Holzpfählen befestigt und weist Löcher für die Hände und Füße auf. Der Kopf wurde mit einer Kette an einem der Holzpfähle angeschlossen. Bei diesem Holzschnitt handelt es sich um eine sehr frühe Darstellung der Zurschaustellung eines Gefangenen. Der zweite Holzschnitt zeigt wie "Die Rütt Aaron grontte wider die natur durch götlich krafft" (außergewöhnliche Blüte des Aaron-Stabes durch Gottes Einwirkung).‎
