(PHOTOGRAPHY: THE SAMI PEOPLE)
Three Original Albumen Photographs of the Sami i.e. Laplanders People and Their Dwellings.
Sapmi: N.p. ca. 1900. Three unattributed but very professional photographs of the Sami people and their dwellings. Likely they are from different groups as one family is seen living in an earthen hut and the other in tents. Each photograph measures 8 3/4 x 6 5/8 inches but for the one of the child with measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches it is also hand-colored. All on original plain mounts measuring 14 x 17 inches with simple manuscript captions in English. Some browning to mount edges but the images are bright crisp and fascinating.The Sami also spelled Sami or Saami are the traditionally Sami-speaking people inhabiting the region of Sapmi which today encompasses large northern parts of Norway Sweden Finland and of the Kola Peninsula in Russia. The region of Sapmi was formerly known as Lapland and the Sami have historically been known in English as Lapps or Laplanders as they are in these three photographs but these terms are regarded as offensive by the Sami who prefer the area's name in their own languages e.g. Northern Sami Sapmi. Their traditional languages are the Sami languages which are classified as a branch of the Uralic language family.Traditionally the Sami have pursued a variety of livelihoods including coastal fishing fur trapping and sheep herding. Their best-known means of livelihood is semi-nomadic reindeer herding. As of 2007 about 10% of the Sami were connected to reindeer herding which provides them with meat fur and transportation; around 2800 Sami people were actively involved in reindeer herding on a full-time basis in Norway. For traditional environmental cultural and political reasons reindeer herding is legally reserved for only Sami in some regions of the Nordic countries. Like many other native peoples they were persecuted and assimilation was forced upon them up until about 1940. Today they are recognized as a people of their own. Sweden recognized the existence of the "Sami nation" in 1989 but the ILO Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention C169 has not been adopted. The Sametingslag was established as the Swedish Sami Parliament on January 1st 1993. In 1998 Sweden formally apologized for the wrongs committed against the Sami.Sami is one of five national minority languages recognized by Swedish law. The Compulsory School Ordinance states that Sami pupils are entitled to be taught in their native language; however a municipality is only obliged to arrange mother-tongue teaching in Sami if a suitable teacher is available and the pupil has a basic knowledge of Sámi. One would imagine that to be a scarce commidity. In 2010 after 15 years of negotiation Laponiatjuottjudus an association with Sami majority control will govern the UNESCO World Heritage Site Laponia.

(Pliny the Elder) C Plinio Secondo
Historia Naturale
Venice: Alessandro Brucioli & i Frategli 1548. First Antonio Brucioli translation. Full vellum skiver leather title and date spine labels. Deaccession library stamps title page; marginalia p. 544; .5" chip lower corner p. 768 no loss; period ink mark affecting text p.980; pps. 950-1068 faint water stain lower corners & corners curled chipped frayed with some loss to margins and one part of marginal annotation. Octavo. xvi; 24; 1-1068 numbered in roman numerals. Gathering "O" misbound out of order but complete pp. 490-490 mispaginated as 494-495. The succession of translations of Pliny's Historia Naturale from the earliest printed incunables to Cinquecento Italian editions is a complex study of the collaborative process among humanist intellectual peers. Renaissance translators of early Greek thought worked with previously published translations offering emendations and alterations to improve or correct an earlier text. Antonio Brucioli edited Cristoforo Landino's well-received translation in 1543 which he then sought to improve upon with his own edition in 1548 making corrections to the table of contents offering an extended preface and including a “Life of Pliny.†Ultimately Landino's translation was the preferred text supplanting this Brucioli edition making it the only edition of this version of Pliny's Historia Naturale.

Frankfurt am Main: David Zöpfel 1562. Woodcut title vignette 43 woodcut illustrations some repeated. Title page in red and black. 8 300 leaves. Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. Late nineteenth century brown crushed morocco gilt by Frances Bedford marbled endpapers gilt edges. Provenance: William Title inscription dated 1856 on front free endpaper; C. S. Ascherson bookplate and inscription to; Edward Ascherson bookplate. Woodcut title vignette 43 woodcut illustrations some repeated. Title page in red and black. 8 300 leaves. Small 4to 7-3/4 x 5-7/8 inches. The first of two Frankfurt printings by David Zöpfel that year using the same woodcuts. The text is descended from the Low German version Reynke de Vos first printed at Lübeck in 1498. <br /> <br /> Among the most widely adapted of the beast fables the tales of Reynard the Fox originated in the 12th and 13th centuries with early versions in French Dutch Latin and German being notable. One of the most important secular literary traditions of the Middle Ages Reynard the Fox is at its essence biting satire and parody. The character of Reynard an anthropomorphic fox and trickster has since become almost an archetype in the literatures of many languages. "The supreme 'anti-hero' of medieval fiction" Cambridge Guide to Children's Books in English.<br /> <br /> This copy from the renowned library of the eminent British architect and book collector Sir William Tite 1798-1873 whose sale at Sotheby's in May-June 1874 took sixteen days certainly one of the greatest collections of the time.

A nice and clean copy with only minor very light soiling. Nice woodcut initials. 51 ff. <br/><br/><em>Very rare first edition of this work on the freedom and immortality of the soul by the father of the famous physicist and anatomist Jean Riolan the Younger. Jean Riolan the Elder 1539-1605 was also himself a noted French anatomist and a leading member of the medical faculty of Paris. He fought against the novelties that entered the faculty due to Paracelsus and authored a number of works attacking the most famous of the scientists who were in favour of chemical means. Works by him are of great scarcity.The work which is divided into three parts attacks the theories on the soul of Pomponazzi Portius Sepulveda and Cardano and as such it is an important document in the seminal controversy about the immortality odf the soul which dominated most philosohical thought of the Renaissance.We have been unable to find the work in any bibliographies. </em> hardcover

(ROMANCE OF THE ROSE). (BINDINGS - LORTIC)
LE ROMMANT DE LA ROSE NOUVELLEMENT REVEU ET CORRIGÉ OULTRE sic LES PRÉCÉDENTES IMPRESSIONS
<p>Paris: Jehan Masse Jean Macé 1538. Fourth Edition. 182 x 91 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 3/4". 8 p.l. ccciii 1 blank leaves.Edited by Clément Marot. <br />ELEGANT SCARLET MOROCCO BY LORTIC stamp-signed on front turn-in covers tooled in gilt and blind in a Grolieresque strapwork design raised bands spine compartments with central gilt rose surrounded by blind tooling gilt titling turn-ins richly gilt marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With title page vignette and 49 impressions of 26 CHARMING WOODCUTS in the text. Front pastedown with engraved bookplate of P. Grandsire. Brunet III 1175; Bourdillon "Early Editions of the Roman de la Rose" the "S" version pp. 62-63. ◆Leaves lightly washed and pressed following the bibliophilic fashion at the time of binding occasional mild browning or small marginal stains but still A LOVELY COPY clean and still crisp IN A SPARKLING BINDING.<br /><br />Beautifully bound this is a most attractive copy of the last early edition of this classic of courtly love perhaps the most influential work in Medieval French literature. An allegorical love poem that unfolds as a dream vision the "Romance of the Rose" is the work of two authors Guillaume de Lorris who composed the first 4000 or so lines around 1230 and Jean de Meun who contributed an additional 18000 lines 40 years later. Our version was edited by the poet Clément Marot 1496-1544 to make the language more accessible to 16th century French readers and his efforts contributed to a renewed popularity for the tale. Marot did four recensions of the text; this is the final one. After our printing no other edition appeared until 1735. According to Bourdillon the woodcuts here are copied from the "very pretty" series in the 1529 edition. The scenes are impressive in the level of detail especially considering their diminutive size. Pierre Marcellin Lortic 1822-92 was one of the great binders of 19th century Paris known for his superb interpretations of traditional styles as in the present binding. According to Flety "at once artisan and artiste intelligent and conscientious an expert and a lover of his metier he knew how to give his work the finish the brilliance that very few practitioners of his time could attain." Our copy comes from the library of French bibliophile Paul Grandsire of Nogenten-Bassigny Haute-Marne whose notable collection of French imprints from the 15th to the 18th centuries was sold in 1930. All early versions of the "Romance of the Rose" are sought after and this is especially true of well-preserved copies of those editions with charming illustrations and in fine bindings favored by discriminating bibliophiles.</p> Jehan Masse [Jean Macé]

Autographed Letter Signed
New York 1912. Very good. Roosevelt Theodore in the person of Frank Harper. Autographed Letter Signed. The Outlook New York March 19 1912. Two pages on Outlook stationery to a Mrs. James Edward Leach of Andover Mass. Harper relates that TR will not give his permission for an unnamed project that the Patent Office says needs TR’s release. One can only speculate on what this person had dreamt up that no doubt used the former President’s name or effigy. Still it is signed by Harper TR’s British born secretary that served him from approx. 1910 through 1914. unknown
