‎Boston and London: International School of Peace Ginn and Company Atheneum Press 1910. First Edition . Hardcover. Very Good . Frontispiece. 448 443. Very Dark Green Cloth Paper Spine Labels As Issued. First Printing. A Bright Clean Copy Pages Partially Uncut Crisp. Bookplate Of Julia M. Fairbanks On Front Pastedowns; Her Very Small Blindstamp On Front Free Endpapers Otherwise Clean And Unmarked. Per Wikipedia Baroness Bertha Sophie Felicitas Von Suttner 1843 - 1914 Was A Bohemian Noblewoman Pacifist And Novelist. In 1905 She Became The Second Female Nobel Laureate After Marie Curie In 19032 The First Woman To Be Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize And The First Austrian And Czech Laureate. Her Parents Were The Austrian Lieutenant General German: Feldmarschall-Leutnant Franz Michael De Paula Josef Graf Kinsky Von Wchinitz Und Tettau 1769-1843 Who Died At The Age Of 75 Before Bertha Was Born. Soon After Bertha's Birth Her Mother Moved To Live In Brno Near Bertha's Guardian Landgrave Friedrich Michael Zu Fürstenberg-Taikowitz 1793-1866. In 1876 With The Encouragement Of Her Employers She Answered A Newspaper Advertisement Which Led To Her Briefly Becoming Secretary And Housekeeper To Alfred Nobel In Paris.20 In The Few Weeks Of Her Employment She And Nobel Developed A Friendship And Nobel May Have Made Romantic Overtures. However She Returned Shortly To Vienna To Marry Arthur Von Suttner In Secretly. As A Consequence Arthur Von Suttner Was Desinherited By His Family And Lost The Title Of Freiherr. In 1889 Suttner Became A Leading Figure In The Peace Movement With The Publication Of Her Pacifist Novel Die Waffen Nieder! Lay Down Your Arms! Which Made Her One Of The Leading Figures Of The Austrian Peace Movement. She Became Known Internationally As The Editor Of The International Pacifist Journal Die Waffen Nieder! Named After Her Book From 1892 To 1899. In 1897 She Presented Emperor Franz Joseph I Of Austria With A List Of Signatures Urging The Establishment Of An International Court Of Justice And Took Part In The First Hague Convention In 1899 With The Help Of Theodor Herzl Who Paid For Her Trip As A Correspondent Of The Zionist Newspaper Die Welt.Upon Her Husband's Death In 1902 Suttner Had To Sell Harmannsdorf Castle And Moved Back To Vienna. In 1904 She Addressed The International Congress Of Women In Berlin And For Seven Months Travelled Around The United States Attending A Universal Peace Congress In Boston And Meeting President Theodore Roosevelt. Though Her Personal Contact With Alfred Nobel Had Been Brief She Corresponded With Him Until His Death In 1896 And It Is Believed That Von Suttner Was A Major Influence On His Decision To Include A Peace Prize Among Those Prizes Provided In His Will.33 Bertha Von Suttner Was Awarded The Nobel Peace Prize On 10 December 1905. In 1907 Von Suttner Was The Only Woman To Attend The Second Hague Peace Conference Which Mainly Pertained To The Law Of War. Von Suttner Was Actually Highly Critical Of The 1907 Conference And Warned Of A War To Come. When She Accepted Her Nobel Peace Prize A Year Earlier She Had Said: ". Whether Our Europe Will Become A Showpiece Of Ruins And Failure Or Whether We Can Avoid This Danger And So Enter Sooner The Coming Era Of Secure Peace And Law In Which A Civilisation Of Unimagined Glory Will Develop. The Many Aspects Of This Question Are What The Second Hague Conference Should Be Discussing Rather Than The Proposed Topics Concerning The Laws And Practices Of War At Sea The Bombardment Of Ports Towns And Villages The Laying Of Mines And So On. The Contents Of This Agenda Demonstrate That Although The Supporters Of The Existing Structure Of Society Which Accepts War Come To A Peace Conference Prepared To Modify The Nature Of War They Are Basically Trying To Keep The Present System Intact". In The Run-Up To World War I Suttner Continued To Campaign Against International Armament. In 1911 She Became A Member Of The Advisory Council Of The Carnegie Peace Foundation. <br/> <br/> International School of Peace (Ginn and Company, Atheneum Press) hardcover‎

‎1840s ORIGINAL MASSIVE MAGNIFICENT RESEARCH EFFORT TO CATALOGUE ALMOST 40 CENTURIES OF THE WORLD'S CONFLICTS AND THE RANKING COMBATANTS FROM 1980 BC TO 1847 AD‎

‎WITTENBERG SAXONY-ANHALT GERMANY. Good. 1840. On offer is a superb original circa early 1800s through to 1847 manuscript and likely the lifetime research effort and written work on the history of wars throughout the world and what appears to be the ranking personnel. List upon list conflict after conflict from ancient times 1980 BC through to the 1840s and the Mexican Revolution was handwritten by a Von v.Loebell as inscribed on the fep in a later hand the German author and compiler of this remarkable significant historical 'database'. Research suggests the book was created in Wittenbergofficially Lutherstadt Wittenberg is a city in Saxony-Anhalt. The mind boggles with the enormity of the task and the resources Von v.Loebell needed to consult to accumulate this knowledge. We can only surmise that he was an academic or scholar who had access to a substantive library perhaps at the University of Wittenberg and while we were unable to find Von v.Loebell we believe local fluent researchers would be able to find the specific man. Starting with conflicts as early as Oxyartes and BactriaStabrobates and Indus Elam and Chedorlaomer Assyrians and Egyptians von v.Loebell has numbered the conflicts through the centuries 1 through 3035 wars wherein he has with meticulous detail provided the names of the combatant's leadership being the generals admirals and other top military and naval personnel. Very much a work in progress and updated with new data there are numerous cross outs there are also several sheets of paper with additional entries and notes tucked in. Tens of thousands of generals admirals officers and ranking staff names are listed by army navy divisions some with birth/death dates titles etc are meticulously recorded over the 420 hand numbered pages in the largish 10 x 8.5 x 2 inch book whose binding rubbed and cracked spine has a titled pasted down upside down! application with paper some minor staining but overall G.; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF VON v.LOEBELL WARFARE WAR GLOBAL CONFLICTS EGYPTIANS ASSYRIANS PHOENICIANS PERSIANS GREECE COMBAT COMBATANTS MILITARY MILITARIES ARMIES ARMAMENTS GENERALS ANCIENT ARMIES ELAM STABROBATES OXYARTES BACTRIA ANCIENT BATTLES WITTENBERG LUTHERSTADT WITTENBERG SAXONY-ANHALTGERMANICA GERMANIC HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT AUTOGRAPHED AUTHORS DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY ARCHIVE DIARY DIARIES JOURNAL LOG PRIMARY SOURCE FIRST HAND ACCOUNT SOCIAL HISTORY PERSONAL STORIES LIVING HISTORY ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPELBIOGRAPHY BIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL AUTOBIOGRAPHY PERSONAL NARRATIVES . unknown‎

Manuscript title on the back. Title in red and black Condition: Vellum soiled and spotted. Front flyleaf removed. Small name on the first title. Blank lower corner of the first title cut off. Paper browning as usual with German books of that period Note: The German philologist and theologian Johann Vorst or Johannes Vorstius 1623-1676 became after his studies master at several gymnasia Flensburg Berlin meanwhile increasing his fame by producing learned books and editions of various Latin authors. The Philologia Sacra being the center of his work he was also in his time one of the most distinguished experts on Hebrew. These works his classical work and his schoolbooks are now forgotten. He lives however on in the history of German linguistics through a small booklet: 'Observationum in linguam vernaculam specimen' Coloniae Brandenburg 1669. Vorstius was inspired by the Roman linguist Varro and as a sample of his intensive study of his mother tongue and its history he offers in 19 chapters as many etymological monographies. Not one of his etymological studies is completely wrong most of them actually are proofs of his admirable linguistic insight. Vorstius knew everything that was printed in Germany the Netherlands England and Scandinavia on the remains of older germanic languages. His arrangement of forms and meanings is chronologically generally correct and he refrained from the irrelevant etymological riddles that were so popular in his time. He didnot juggle with Hebrew and showed his knowledge of Latin and Greek only in instructive parallels and analogies. ADB 40308/09 Traces of his linguistic and etymological interest can be found in the second part of De latinitate merito and falso suspecta where Vorstius offers analogies between the Greek Latin and German languages. De latinitate merito and falso suspecta is a study in Latin style how to speak and write pure Latin. The correct use of Latin was in the 17th and 18th century still considered to be of importance. The use of exemplary Latin was for some scholars of that period the same as practising pure science. De latinitate merito and falso suspecta was first published in Berlin in 1669. Revised and augmented 2nd 3rd and 4th editions appeared in 1674 1669 1682 1698 1703 and 1722 Provenance: On the title in old ink 'C. Stemel' Collation: Ad 1: :8 A-R8 S4. Ad 2: 6 A-U8.

Short table of content written in an old hand on the verso of the first flyleaf. Small wormhole almost invisible in the blank lower margin of first 100 leaves Note: Gerardus Joannes Vossius 1577-1649 was according to Sandys 'the greatest Polyhistor of his time'. In 1622 he was appointed professor of 'Eloquentiae' at Leiden University and in 1631 professor of History at Amsterdam. In this city he had the opportunity to apply himself to the study of the Bible and the history of the ancient Church. Vossius earned for himself with his theological works the title 'father of modern credal studies'. He applied in his theological studies a philological method 'to an area of scholarship which during his time had hardly been entered and which in that period of church conflict was generally regarded as very dangerous territory. Vossius had the courage to be the first to take a completely new path'. C.S. Rademaker Life and Work of Gerardus Joannes Vossius' Assen 1981 p. 322 Vossius' approach was purely philological. He subjected the relevant texts to a literary and historical criticism. Ad 1: In 1642 Vossius published a study on the creeds. Concerning the 'Symbolum Apostolicum' Apostles' Creed he comes to a for that time daring conclusion: 'The Apostles' Creed was not drawn up by the apostles themselves but came into existence in the congregation of Rome and was framed by the bishop and clergy of Rome as compendium of the doctrine of the apostles'. Idem p. 319 Concerning the 'Symbolum' attributed to the Church Father Athanasius he proves on philological grounds that the creed was not written by Athanasius but that it was only a patchwork of his formulations. Idem p. 320 Concerning the 'Symbolum Constantinopolitanum' he proves that this 'Symbolum' was not framed by the Council of Constantinople 381 but was in fact an elaboration on the Nicean Creed 325. Idem p. 320 Ad 2: The second work in this convolute treats the exegetical problems presented by the genealogies of Jesus Christ in the Gospels. Vossius 'discusses the many and complex problems connected to establish the year of Jesus' birth chronologically'. Idem p. 313 Ad 3: This work on chronology was published posthumeously by Vossius' son Isaac 1618-1689. In it Vossius examines the divisions in history made by Hesiodus gold silver bronze and iron age and the scheme of the four monarchies of the prophecy of Daniel. Vossius rejected a prophetic prediction of the end of the world in the year 2000 AD at the end of history. Idem p. 310/11 Ad 4: In 1659 the German historian Georg Horn latinized as Georgius Hornius published in Leiden where he occupied from 1653 the prestigious chair of History a chronological 'dissertatio de vera aetate mundi'. Horn had developped an interest in the history of religion and in secular history from a theological point of view. With his 'dissertatio de vera aetate mundi' started a long polemic with Isaac Vossius. The quarrel was about the date of creation. The dispute was whether the Hebrew or the Greek text of the Old Testament gave a more reliable chronology for the world was according to the Septuaginta a millennium or more older than the Hebrew Bible said. Hundreds of scholars in the 16th and 17th century made different calculations. Isaac Vossius e.g. dated the Deluge according to the Septuaginta numbering of years but Hornius was in favour of the Hebrew text. Vossius concluded that the Biblical text was unreliable. Hornius warned for the consequence of Vossius' theory that the Holy Scripture was not always true Provenance: On the verso of the front flyleaf: 'H.W.Snabelius'.
