Washington DC: War Department 1864 June 15. 12mo. Handbill. Near fine. Lightly soiled and a tad edgeworn with two file holes at left not affecting text. Townsend announces a "Public Resolution -- No. 34" being "A Resolution tendering the thanks of Congress to Lieutenant Joseph Bailey of the 4th Regiment of Wisconsin Volunteers. for distinguished services in the recent campaign on the Red river by which the gunboat flotilla under Rear Admiral David D. Porter was rescued from imminent peril." Bailey 1825-67 was one of only 15 men voted the "Thanks of Congress" -- and the only one who wasn't a corps or division commander. General Nathaniel Banks' Red River Campaign was saved from a disastrous loss of life by this Wisconsin engineer who devised a plan to raise the level of a river at Alexandria by constructing a winged dam. For ten days about 10000 soldiers slaved away to build it. The river did indeed raise and Admiral Porter's stranded fleet of ten gunboats floated safely past. Remnants of "Bailey's Dam" can still be seen today. An intriguing relic of this famed event. unknown

GENNADIUS MASSILIENSIS.
Gennadii Massiliensis Presbyteri Liber de Ecclesiasticis dogmatibus. Veteris cuiusdam theologi Homilia Sacra. Marcialis Episcopi Lemovicensis Epistolae. Geverhartus Elmenhorstius ex MS. provulgavit & notas addidit.
Hamburg Hamburgi anno Messiae Regis Aeterni 1614. Colophon at p. 207: 'Explicitum XIV Kalend. Decembris anno Messiae Regis Aeterni 1613' 4to. IV2501 errata1 blank p. Old contemporary boards. 19 cm Ref: VD17 23:274421U; Bardenhewer 'Geschichte der altkirchlichen Literatur' Freiburg i.Br. 1924 volume 4595/597: 'Die wichtigste der �lteren Ausgaben'; Graesse 349; Ebert 8313 Details: Title in red & black. Some woodcut initials Condition: Cover very scuffed and worn and chafed at the extremities. Pencil notes on the inside of the frontcover. Last 2 leaves waterstained. Upper margins of last but one leaf repaired. Paper browning. Occasional pencil stripes in the beginning. Old ownership inscription written on the title Note: The first half of this book contains a work of Gennadius Massiliensis and the second half two letters of Marcialis or Martialis Lemovicensis. � Of the works of Gennadius of Marseille who lived during the pontificate of Pope Gelasius 492-496 A.D. only a few survive. From his best known work 'De viris illustribus' a collection of biographic sketches of 90 important 5th century Christians we know that he knew Greek well and that he translated Greek theological works into Latin. His principal aim in life seems to have been to fight and suppress heresies. 'Scripsi' he says somewhere 'adversum omnes haereses libros octo et adversum Nestorium libros quinque et adversus Eutychen libros decem et adversus Pelagium libros tres'. Quoted after Bardenhewer IV596. All these works are lost except the end of the 'Adversum omnes haereses libri octo' which survived under the title: 'Liber de ecclesiasticis dogmatibus'. This work which summarizes the catholic creed went also under the name of Augustine and Isidor of Sevilla; Bardenhewer however follows the editor of this 1614 edition Elmenhorst in attributing it to Gennadius. This 1614 edition is still of importance. Bardenhewer calls it 'die wichtigste unter den �lteren Ausgaben'. It was reprinted by Migne in PL 58 979-1054. Elmenhorst proved that this treatise of Gennadius showed signs of interpolation and distortion. In the chapters 21 till 52 for instance passages from a letter of Pope Caelestinus I or the Acta of the Synode of 416 at Milevum also Mileum or even the Synode of 529 at Orange pop up. 'Quae sequuntur capita usque ad cap. LII in MS. non extant. Sunt autem desumpta ad verbum ex decretali epistola Coelestini PP . & ex Concil. Milevitano Africano & Arausicaono II'. Gennadius 1614 p. 136 A comfort for all of us is that Gennadius says that even sinners can perform miraculous works signa prophetic signs prodigia and good deeds sanitates in the name of the Lord chapter 34 p. 43. Nevertheless this title of 1614 once figured on the catholic Index of forbidden books. � Marcialis or Martialis Lemovicensis known in France as Saint Martial was the first bishop of Limoges in the 3rd century A.D. He was sent there by Pope Fabianus to preach the Gospel in the Limousin. His burial site later became the Benedictine Abbey of Saint-Martial which had a great library second only to the library at Cluny and scriptorium. This Abbey was one of the great pilgrimage sites of western Christianity during the Middle Ages. This part of the book contains 2 pastoral letter of Marcialis the first to the citizens of Bordeaux 'ad Burdigalenses' the second to the citizens of Toulouse 'ad Tolosanos'. � The anonymous 'Homilia Sacra' found in a manuscript of the end of the 9th century concerns the preparation for death from baptism till death. The work's main source is Caesarius of Arles 470-542 A.D and the 'Scarapsus' of Pirmin the first abbot of the convent of Reichenau who died ca. 753. � The commentary part on Gennadius and the 'Homilia Sacra' is the most extensive p. 97-189 & 189-201 on the letters of Marcialis the commentary is meagre p. 201-189. Gennadius the 'homilia sacra' and the letters of Marcialis of Limoges were edited and annotated by the German scholar Geverhart Elmenhorst 1580-1621 of Hamburg. He studied in Leiden under the genius J.J. Scaliger and published after his return to his native city works of some late Latin authors. His is known among classical scholars for his Apuleius edition of 1621. His best work is on late antique Christian writers such as Arnobius Hanau 1603 Minucius Felix Hamburg 1612 Gennadius Massiliensis Hamburg 1614 and Sidonius Apollinaris Hanau 1617. See on Elmenhorst ADB 659 The book seems to be rare for in KVK we found only a few copies in European libraries Provenance: written on the title: 'Sum M. Heinr. Meyeri Lips. A. 1645 prid. Kl. April'. In the early summer of June 1669 the relatives friends and colleagues of Heinrich Meyer received from the Rector of the University of Leipzig an invitation dated the 4th of June to attent the funeral service of 'Vir plurimum reverendus & clarissimus Dn. Heinricus Meyerus S.S. Theol. Baccalaureus dignitissimus & D. Nicolai h.l. Symmysta fellow preacher meritissimus'. Meyer was a pillar of the community and a real 'Architectus Spiritualis'. He was born the rector writes in Leipzig on the 5th of March 1619. His parents were there 'honoratissimi' citizens. Father Sebastianus Meyerus Sebastian Meyer was 'Senator Aedilis' of the city. The name of his mother was Sabina Rothaupt. The rector goes on to describe the educational career of Heinrich. He immatriculated in 1639 to study theology. But he was also interested in classical antiquity especially numismatics. This interest studio antiquitatis praesertim in re nummeraria incited him to build a coin collection of his own. In 1642 he published a Magister thesis 'de ritu coenandi veterum'. In 1647 he left for Strasbourg to gain more in-depth theological knowledge. After this he travelled through England The Netherlands and also visited places in Germany. During this trip in Holland he paid a call on Salmasius Heinsius Boxhornius and Gronovius with whom he also corresponded. In 1657 he was called to the diaconate of the 'Nikolaikirche' ad Diaconatum in aede S. Nicolai legitime vocatus. In this year this 'vir bonus et christianus' gains also the right to call himself 'Baccalaureatus in studio Theologico'. In November 1659 he married Elisabeth Heinz. They had 6 children of whom 4 survived. Two years before he died Heinrich suffered a stroke during a sermon cum suo pro rostis sacris fungere officio. Two other strokes undermined his health even more. He died at the age of 50. http://digital.slub-dresden.de/en/workview/dlf/73777/8/ On the internet we found in the library of Strasbourg 1 other book which was once the property of Meyer. There the provenance is 'Heinricus Meyer Dr. 1658' http://ccfr.bnf.fr/portailccfr/jsp/ccfr/sitemap/bmr_sitemap_view.jsprecord=bmr%3AUNIMARC%3A1033918 Collation: pi2 A-H4 2I2 leaf 2I2 verso blank Photographs on request hardcover
