‎CHARLES DICKENS - FIRST EDITION WITH UNIQUE EXTRA SPINE‎

‎Edwin Drood‎

‎Chapman & Hall London 1870 First edition of Dickens' final novel. Octavo contemporary quarter bound calf with hand marbled boards. Five raised bands gilt titles and tooling to the spine with a slight loss to the base. Interesting hinged extra calf flap to the top of the text block to allow the book to be shelved end on. This is titled in gilt too and the author's name mis-spelled 'DICKINS'. Spine title is correctly spelled! It is double gilt ruled raised gilt bands. Brilliant engraved frontispiece portrait of Dickens with tissue guard a superb clean first printing. 12 engraved plates by Luke Fildes also clean first prints. In collectable condition with light rubbing and some toning to the pages. Charles Dickens' novels regularly revolved around masks dual identities and other secrets. The Mystery of Edwin Drood however "enlarged and strengthened such matters in the pursuit of a larger vision a vision which depicts the 'lanes of light' between the dark pillars of a crypt and which reflects upon 'that mysterious fire which lurks in everything" Ackroyd 1056. Unfortunately at the time of his death on June 9 1870 Dickens had written only six parts of the book three of which had been published. The remaining three were published posthumously. Dickens had so closely guarded the plot's outlines even from his closest friends that to this day the identity of Drood's killer remains a topic for speculation discussion and debate. "There are few of Dickens' stories which are superior in the matter of composition. one of the best unfinished mystery stories in literature" - This is a fascinating copy with the hinged extra flap to the text block as a possibly unique detail. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Chapman & Hall London hardcover‎

‎CHYMIA MANUSCRIPTA :title on spine‎

‎Manuscript on paper written in German Latin and some Greek & Hebrew containing in a series of six texts many experiments preparations & procedures for both chemical & alchemical purposes‎

‎Written in three legible hands of the second half of the 17th cent. & the first quarter of the 18th. Paper: watermarks of a stag within a crown and "FV" apparently not found in the usual watermark reference books. Section I: 169 numbered pp. final two pp. blank 3 blank pp. 40 leaves; Section II: 100 numbered pp. lacking one leaf pp. 49-50 6 leaves final two blank; Section III: 16 leaves; Section IV: 12 leaves final leaf blank; Section V: 12 leaves; Section VI: 13 leaves. Small folio 325 x 204 mm. cont. vellum over boards spine lettered at head with title "Chymia Manuscripta" characteristic Chorinsky shelf mark "F.7." at foot. Germany: 1655-1725.<br /> An important Paracelsian chemical alchemical and pharmaceutical manuscript completely unstudied from the famous Chorinsky private library which was formed in the 18th century and remained intact until the 1930s. Our manuscript contains six different texts with a series of hundreds of alchemical chemical and pharmaceutical experiments and preparations as well as commentaries on published chemical and alchemical texts. It was compiled between 1655 and 1725. Clearly it is a "sister" manuscript to the one we offered in 2015 see below also from the Chorinsky library.<br /> Section I: The first text 126 leaves in total and written in a legible hand of the second half of the 17th century consists of comments on and summaries of many experiments of a chemical and alchemical nature. The beginning of the text is entitled "Notata.fein geschriben buch welches mir Hr baron Andrisch aus sonderbarer freundschafft communicirt hat" "Notata.nicely written book communicated to me in a gesture of special friendship by Baron Andrisch ". The text is rich in chemical and alchemical symbols for metals notably gold phosphorus and platinum other substances and processes especially distillation and sublimation. There are many references to Paracelsus Theophrastus and his various alchemical and chemical writings notably his Thesaurus Thesaurum Alchimi and Isaac Hollandus the mysterious early 17th-century writer on alchemy and chemistry see Ferguson. Also discussed are a "universal medicament" the macro- and microcosms mineral and vegetable substances a "panacea vegetabilis" chemical processes using feces a balsam of nature that can cure all terrible illnesses otherwise incurable in Galenic medicine niter the close relationship between the harmony of music and astronomy Hermetic philosophy etc. etc.<br /> It is signed on the final page by "Thomas Grünberger Med. Doctoris" dated 25 August 1655. We have been unable to learn anything about him.<br /> Section II: The text is written in the same hand and therefore presumably by Grünberger. Greek is often used. We find discussions of Paracelsus's concepts in alchemy and chemistry "metalla minora" putrefaction Rosicrucian ideas in alchemy fermentation Roger Bacon Arnald of Villanova the "saccharum saturni" mortification compounds including arsenic many pharmaceutical recipes etc. etc. Pages 49-50 have been removed at an early date.<br /> Section III: The third text perhaps also written by Grünberger is entitled "Notata.instructione.cujus opus est in . Theo. Paracelsus Chymiae Vol. VI p. 163." It is a discussion of Paracelsian theories and processes of alchemy and chemistry.<br /> Section IV: The fourth text dated 1721 and entitled "Arcana Specialia" is signed by Johann Gottman "Ord. Ros. Cruc." This is concerned with alchemical and chemical theories.<br /> Section V: This text written in an early 18th-century hand contains a series of "operations" or laboratory procedures to manufacture various oils used in the making of pharmaceutical products.<br /> Section VI: The sixth and final text is entitled "Descriptio de Lapide Philosophorum. Von 15 Martii 1725 von Monsr Nusdorff Communicirt.Dieser Kunst." The Wellcome Library also has two manuscripts with this text both dated 15 March 1722. This section of our manuscript is clearly written in the same - unidentified - handsome German baroque script as the first part of another alchemical manuscript from the Chorinsky library which we offered in our Cat. 213 item 66 in 2015.<br /> PROVENANCE: Our manuscript comes from the famous library of Ignatz Dominik Graf Chorinsky von Ledske 1729-92 with his armorial bookplate. The large Chorinsky library was sold at auction in 1930 by Antiquariat Hans Götz in Hamburg. Many of the books and manuscripts from the Bibliothek Chorinsky were identically bound in ivory vellum with the painted red compartment at the top of the spine and shelf mark written in red at the bottom. First leaf of text with the stamp of the antiquarian bookseller Rosicrucian and theosophist Heinrich Tränker 1880-1956.<br /> We have given only the merest suggestion of the contents of these texts and their research possibilities.<br /> In fine condition. A few ink splatterings and some ink show-through. hardcover books‎
