Newgrange
Cork University Press Ireland 2008. Softcover. Very Good. Softcover. 122 pages. PUBLISHING DETAILS: Cork University Press Ireland 2008. CONDITION: This book is in very good condition. More specifically: Covers have no creasing. Corners of covers are lightly bumped. Spine is uncreased. . Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Small tear and crease to title page. SYNOPSIS: Newgrange is simply the best example of a passage tomb in Western Europe and its solstice phenomenon in particular has made it famous throughout the world. It is also conveniently located only an hour from Dublin. While it is the best-known ancient site in Ireland many aspects of Newgrange are not clearly understood other aspects are just taken for granted. As two archaeologists with a lifetime of experience in the Boyne Valley we shared with most visitors the same uncertainties about the tomb; why is there a three metre high quartz wall around its entrance how does the roof box work what was the inspiration for its art and architecture We chose to write this book in order to present our own personal interpretation of an intricate and often hotly debated story.The book is arranged in such a way as to replicate a visit to the site. It pauses over points of art and construction that the visitor will not have had time to examine in detail on a conventional guided tour. "Newgrange" is the synthesis of years of excavation and research at home and abroad; from the detailed reports stemming from the excavations of M. J. O'Kelly to current international debate about its construction and reconstruction. This is the first book on Newgrange to draw on O'Kelly's private papers and to incorporate the results of more recent and as yet unpublished excavations. This book will clarify many complex issues that have been addressed in widely scatted fora using original illustrations to assist the reader. It places the monument in its broader cultural context. Our search for the origins of Newgrange took us to Brittany Iberia Spain and Portugal Malta the Orkney Islands and Wales and has enriched our understanding of its place in European prehistory Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; ISBN/EAN: 9781859184318. Inventory No: 21050082. 9781859184318 Cork University Press paperback

Gericke, Johann Friedrich Carl.
Eerste gronden der Javaansche taal, benevens Javaansch leer- en leesboek met eene woordenlijst ten gebruike bij hetzelve. Jakarta, Landsdrukkerij, 1831.
4to (263 x 213 mm). 3 parts in one volume. (2), IX, (1), 69, (1), 111, (1), 84 pp. With a general title-page and 3 part-titles, with an occasional decorated rule or cast fleuron. Set in roman and Javanese type with incidental italic and Arabic. Contemporary shell-marbled boards, sewn on 2 cords. Rebacked in later red cloth. Since the endpapers (including the pastedowns) come from the same stock as many of the printed leaves, the book was probably bound in Jakarta. First and only edition, printed in Batavia in the Dutch East Indies (now Jakarta, Indonesia): one of the earliest, best and most extensive introductions to the Javanese language, written and compiled by Johann Friedrich Carl Gericke (1798-1857) for Dutch speakers who wished to learn Javanese. Part 1 ("Eerste gronden der Javaansche taal", 69 pp.) gives a general introduction to the language and writing system, discussing the origin of the language, its scripts, the various parts of speech and the numbers. Part 2 ("Javaansch leer- en leesboek", 111 pp.) gives sample texts: conversations, letters, stories, legal documents (including ones on adultery and on abducting women for marriage), the "Dhoso-nomo" (a moral or religious text) and the "Papali" (a 16th century poem). The sample texts appear in the Javanese script on the rectos with a phonetic transcription in roman type on the facing versos. Part 3 ("Woordenlijst, ...", 84 pp.) is a Javanese-Dutch lexicon, also giving Arabic equivalents for some words. - Gericke, born in Brandenburg, Prussia, was director of the Javaansch Instituut at Surakarta and worked more than 30 years for the Nederlandsche Bibelsgenootschap, making the Javanese language his principal field of study. - As early as in 1820 the governor-general of the Dutch East Indies had given P. van Vlissingen at Surakarta the task of establishing Javanese printing, and Van Vlissingen found the young Cornets de Groot to advise him. No Javanese type had ever been produced before, so together they developed a system for rendering the complicated Javanese writing system into typographic form. Joh. Enschedé & Zonen in Haarlem took the order to produce the type in 1822, and their punchcutter Martinus Hübner finished cutting it in 1824. The first specimen appeared in 1825. The occasional Arabic is a rare example of a modern use of Nicolaes Briot's large Arabic typeface, cut for Willem Jansz. Blaeu shortly before Briot's death in 1626 and first extensively used in 1635. It was also cast by Enschedé. - Provenance: bookseller's ticket of Maisonneuve et Cie. of Paris, ca. 1840: Jean-Claude Maissonneuve set up in 1838 by acquiring the business of Théophile Barrois, and the ticket notes the succession. Also with a ca. 1890 (?) armorial bookplate of the "Bibliotheca Lindesiana" assembled by Alexander Lindsay (1812-80) and his son James Lindsay (1847-1913), 25th and 26th Earls of Crawford, near Manchester, England. "The Bibliotheca Lindesiana was a vision of the human intellect, an ideal too high for any man to achieve, but one to which two men, father and son, both of remarkable attainments, came closer than anyone else, before or since" (N. Barker, Bibliotheca Lindesiana [1977], p. xiii). The elder Lindsay took an interest in oriental languages already in 1837/38, when he visited the Middle East, so he may have bought the present book from Maisonneuve not long after that, and it was certainly in his son's library in 1910. Finally with the 20th century letterpress bookplate of John Lawson on the front pastedown. - In very good condition and with generous margins. Binding rebacked and nearly separated from the book block at the front hinge (with one sewing support broken); marbled sides rubbed and scuffed. One of the earliest, best and most extensive introductions to the Javanese language, printed in the East Indies. Brunet II, 1551f. Bibliotheca Lindesiana (1910) 3825 (this copy). J. A. van Chijs, Catalogus der Bibliotheek van het Bataviaasch Genootschap van Kunsten en Weteneschappen (Jakarta 1864) 150. E. M.

A Picturesque Tour along the Rhine, from Mentz to Cologne; With Illustrations of the Scenes of Remarkable events, and of Popular Traditions. Translated from the German by John BLACK.
London, Ackermann 1820. Fol., XOV, 178 S., mit 24 altkolor. Aquatintaradierungen nach Aquarellen von Christian Georg SCHÜTZ d. J., gestochen v. T. Sutherland u. D. Havell sowie zweifach gefalt., grenzkolor. Kupferstich-Karte, zeitgenöss. Lederbd. m. Rückenvergldg. u. Blindpräg., goldgepr. Bordüre sowie Kantenvergoldg., dreiseitig marmor. Schnitt, Ecken u. Kanten berieben, vord. Außengelenk eingerissen, der Buchblock vollkommen stabil, Papier wie stets leicht gebr., unser Expl. nur vereinzelt an den Rändern stockfleckig. Abbey, Travel 217; Graesse III, 59; Thieme/Becker 30/31. Erste englische Ausgabe, zugleich erste illustrierte Ausgabe des 1819 in Wiesbaden erschienenen Werkes. Die prachtvollen Aquatintas mit romantischen Rheinansichten für Reisende aus dem englischen Hochadel schmücken "das wohl berühmteste Prachtwerk der beginnenden Rheinromantik" (vgl. Schmitt, Die illustr. Rhein-Beschreibungen). Die Tafeln zeigen Mainz, Biberich, Johannesberg, Bingen, Boppard, Braubach, Fürstenberg, Bacharach, Oberwesel, Koblenz, Liebenstein, Hammerstein, Köln, u. a. - Christian Georg Schütz d. J. (1758-1823), Neffe des berühmten Malers Christian Georg Schütz d. Ä. Anfangs orientierte er sich nach dem Vorbild seines Onkels an der idealisierten Rheinlandschaft, entwickelte seinen Stil aber weiter zur Darstellung der romantischen Landschaft des 19. Jahrhunderts. Berühmt wurde er als Maler, Radierer und Zeichner von Landschaftsmotiven und Stadtansichten. Er hatte großen Einfluss auf die Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts stark anwachsende, englische illustrierte Reiseliteratur. Viele seiner Arbeiten wurden in illustrierten Reisebeschreibungen abgebildet. Er selbst bereiste den Rhein mehrmals, 1818-1819 enstanden im Auftrag des Diplomaten u. Verlegers Johann Isaak Frhr. v. Gerning (1767-1837) die 24 Aquarelle als Illustrationsvorlagen zu dessen Rheinwerk.
