Anacreon; Sappho of Lesbos; Overbeck, Christian Adolf (1755-1821).
ANAKREON UND SAPPHO.
pp, 186 + Engraved title page. Damp stained. Original boards. Spine taped. "Platos praise of the poets Sappho and Anacreon (Phaedrus 235c) is a sincere tribute to their vivid presentations of the shock of love." Sappho's poetry centers on passion and love for various personages and genders. The word "lesbian" derives from the name of the island of her birth, Lesbos; her name is also the origin of its less common synonym sapphic. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love (sometimes requited, sometimes not) for various women, but descriptions of physical acts between women are few.

Strong, James.
SACRED IDYLS: A Metrical Version of Solomon's Song with Appropriate Explanations.
74 p. + Folding panorama of (modern) Jerusalem. The quoted text is printed in large script type. Well illustrated. Original full cloth binding, gold stamped and beveled edged. All edges gold. Slim quarto. James Strong was born in New York City in 1822. His father, Thomas, came from England in 1815. The son was left an orphan at an early age, and in 1839 began the study of medicine, but the failure of his health led to its abandonment. He was graduated at Wesleyan in 1844, taught two years in Poultney, Vermont, and then failing health again compelled his retirement to a farm in Newtown, Long Island. Eighteen months later he settled at Flushing, where he followed biblical studies. He held various local offices, took an active interest in town development, and projected and built the Flushing Railroad, of which he was President. He gave gratuitous private instruction to classes in Greek and Hebrew, which led to his first literary labor, the preparation of brief manuals of Greek, Hebrew, and Chaldee grammar (1856-1869). From 1858 till 1861 he was professor of Biblical Literature and acting president of Troy University. He then returned to Flushing to engage in public improvements. Starting in 1868 he was Professor of Exegetical Theology in Drew Theological Seminary, Madison, New Jersey. Dr. Strong traveled in Egypt and Palestine in 1874, and was a member of the American branch of the Palestine Exploration Committee. This important poetic and scholarly work seems to be left off of the inventories of his numerous publications. This is a very remarkable book in many ways. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W146.

Abelard, Peter (1079-1142).
LETTRES ET EPITRES AMOUREUSES D'HELOISE ET D'ABEILARD. Nouvelle Edition.
Two volumes. pp. 201; 240 + Engraved portrait plates. Small 12mo. Uncut. Contemporary French half leather bindings, spines worn. Printed bookplate of Jan Paulus Schumacher. Edited by A. E. Cailleau. Pierre du Pallet, called by the name of Abelard, was a successful educator in the Cathedral School of Notre Dame when (in 1115) he was appointed tutor to Heloise, the beautiful and talented 17 year old niece of cannon Fulbert, with whom he was lodging. They fell madly in love and were forced to flee together to Brittany. After Heloise gave birth to a son they were secretly married and returned to Paris. Relatives of Heloise would not be distracted from their revenge and one night they surprised Abelard in his bedroom and castrated him. In shame, Abelard joined the Abbey St. Denis as a monk, and Heloise became a nun. As they both rose to prominence (and Abelard in philosophical and religious controversy), they kept up a loving correspondence. In the end, their corpses were laid to rest together, and their tale became legend. Though Abelard exerted great influence on the minds of his contemporaries and the course of medieval thought, he would be little known to us today - but for his connection with Heloise. Their letters are the main source for details of Abelard's life and his love. "Then there is no more left but this, that in our doom the sorrow yet to come shall be no less than the love we two have already known" - Heloise speaking to Abelard as she agreed to their marriage. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

SPIRITUAL WIVES.
pp. vii, 476 + Publisher's advertisements + Portrait frontis from a photograph by Elliott & Fry, engraved by William Hall. Large 12 mo. 210 mm. First American Edition, with "J.B.L. & Co." at the base of the spine. Original full cloth binding; beveled boards. Some loss of cloth at extremities. Very good. William Hepworth Dixon (1821-1879) was an English historian, journalist, and traveller. "Spiritual Wives" grew out of his trip to the U.S., and much of its content is about Mormonism and polygamy; but he includes interesting first hand observations on Robert Owen's community, and other places in the U.S. where Free Love, Communalism, and Socialism are practiced. At the end of the book appears an essay in German on Pietism. Quite a remakable book. L19
