Van Ostade, Ingrid Tieken-Boon
The Two Versions of Malory's Morte Darthur: Multiple Negation and the Editing of the Text
Cambridge: D. S. Brewer. As New in As New dust jacket. 1995. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. 0859914372 . "Malory's Morte Darthur survives in two versions: the Winchester manuscript which has been dated 1469-70 and the edition Caxton published in 1485. These versions were thought to be collaterally related through a common source to an original lost manuscript until in 1977 new evidence suggested a linear descent. Dr Tieken-Boon van Ostade's study supports this argument first through a detailed refutation of Vinaver's arguments for collateral descent then through an analysis of the incidence of multiple negation in both versions of the Morte Darthur and the conclusions to be drawn from it. A reconstruction of the events leading to Caxton's publication of the text at a politically hazardous time completes the volume.".

On several trips throughout Illinois he became the adopted son of Chief Waba of the Kickapoo and married Watseka niece of Chief Tamin of the Kankakee Potawatomi.

When a local Indian tribe questioned his ability to perform this feat he challenged their champion walker to a race. Hubbard's challenger lost by several miles and was unable to move the next day.

Publisher's full green cloth gilt lettering on spine gilt border and publisher's medallion gilt on cover t.e.g. fore-edge deckle. Illustrated with Tissue-Protected engraved frontispiece view of Fort Nez Perces. Alexander Ross 1783-1856 was a fur trader and author. In 1811 while working for John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company Ross took part in the founding of Fort Astoria a fur-trading post at the mouth of the Columbia River. During the same year he led a detachment up the Columbia River and founded Fort Okanogan where during the winter he was the sole PFC employee at the trading post. During his solitary posting Ross' hair greyed from the stress of being socially isolated among the welcoming Syilx people "savages who had never seen a white man before." In 1818 Ross acted as scribe for a trading party from the North West Company who traveled within sight of the Teton Range in modern Wyoming. He and trapper Daniel Potts apparently viewed some of the thermal features of what is today Yellowstone National Park. Each of them produced an account of these features with Ross reporting that ".boiling fountain having different degrees of temperature were very numerous; one or two were so very hot as to boil meat." Ross explored various territories of the Pacific Northwest. In 1824 while searching the mountain wilderness of what is present day Idaho known to them as Columbia District for beaver Ross came up the Wood River and discovered Galena Summit on September 18. Leading a large brigade of Hudson's Bay Company trappers he wondered if he could get through unknown mountains and rocky defiles that obstructed his passage back to his base of operations at present Challis. Unwilling to turn back he pressed on to explore Stanley Basin and the difficult canyon beyond. When he reached Challis on October 5 1824 he had traveled the route now followed by Idaho State Highway 75 from Bellevue to Salmon through mostly unexplored land. .

Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth of cream cloth boards orange gilt lettering on spine. Cornwell Body of Evidence ; All That Remains casts a wider surer narrative net in the latest case set for her increasingly complex heroine Kay Scarpetta Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia. As an FBI consultant Scarpetta investigates the North Carolina murder of 11-year-old Emily Steiner whose mutilation suggests the M.O. of an escaped killer met previously in Cruel and Unusual. Forensic clues from the body's second autopsy prompt Scarpetta to request that certain experiments be made at the University of Tennessee's Decay Research Facility known as the Body Farm. Meanwhile she Pete Marino of the Richmond Va. police and her new love interest FBI Unit Chief Benton Wesley investigate the apparent suicide from autoerotic asphyxiation of the local FBI agent in charge of the case. Then Scarpetta's computer-whiz niece Lucy working at FBI headquarters at Quantico is charged with violating security. During her travels between North Carolina and Virginia Scarpetta worries about both the less-than-forthcoming Lucy and Marino who becomes emotionally entangled with Emily's beautiful stricken mother. Results at the Body Farm lead her to a convincing if abrupt resolution. Deeper characterization and a more intricate plot mark this fifth in a consistently compelling series. .
