1756in-8°. pp 138. Legatura originale in cartone alla rustica. Prima edizione di questa commedia rusticale, che deve la sua importanza sia al fatto che fu scritta in dialetto senese sia perché venne spesso paragonata alla Tancia del Buonarroti il Giovane. Opera a cura di Giovanni Conti e da lui dedicata al “Signore di Morgan, capitano d"Infanteria…al servzio di S.M. Cristianissima”. In fine correda l’opera un dizionario di spiegazione di “molte parole oscure, disusate o corrotte che sono nell’assetta”, con traduzioni di termini gergali e modi di dire popolari, e un repertorio bibliografico complemento alla Drammaturgia dell’Allacci del 1755.

1924Publishers cloth. 8vo. 288; 286; 286; 288; 318; 285 pages. 21 cm. First edition. In Yiddish. Yonah Rozenfelds Collected Writings in six volumes: 1. Tsvishen tog un nakht 2. In shotens fun toyt. - 3. Froyen - 4. Nohente un vayte - 5. Ikh 6. Oyf di grenetsen. Yona Rozenfeld (18801944) , Yiddish prose writer. Born in Tshartorisk (mod. Staryi Chartoriisk) , Ukraine, Yona Rozenfeld received a traditional Jewish education that was interrupted when his parents both died of cholera in 1893. Shortly thereafter, under arrangements made by his older brother, 13-year-old Yona began an apprenticeship with a turner in Odessaan experience vividly depicted in his autobiographical novel Eyner aleyn (All Alone; 1940) . Rozenfeld showed his early writings to Y. L. Peretz when the latter visited Odessa in 1902. As a result, Rozenfelds first (autobiographical) story, Dos lernyingl (The Apprentice) , was published in Der fraynd in 1904. At the age of 23, Rozenfeld left his job as a turner and devoted himself to writing. He published his first collection of stories, the two-volume Shriftn (Writings; 19091912) , which included his most famous story, Konkurentn (Competitors) . He immigrated to New York in 1921, and began writing plays. His six-volume Gezamlte shriftn (Collected Writings; 1924) was published in New York and Geklibene verk (Selected Works; 1929) in Vilna. In the mid-1930s, he had a major conflict with Abraham Cahan, editor in chief of Der forverts, after which the newspaper ceased publishing Rozenfelds work. Rozenfeld began writing his autobiographical novel Eyner aleyn in 1937. Upon publication, it received excellent reviews in the Yiddish press. His longest earlier works were fictive and autobiographical diaries. In Fun mayn togbukh (From My Diary; 1924) , Rozenfeld depicted his return to Kovel from Kiev in 1919 during the Russian civil war. He regarded this text and Er un zey, a togbukh fun a gevezenem shrayber (He and They, a Diary of a Former Writer; 1927) as his best works. Together with the autobiographical texts entitled Ikh (I [the first-person pronoun]) in the fifth volume of Rozenfelds Gezamlte shriftn, these pieces indicate the importance of autobiographical writings in the authors work. During a conversation with Yohanan Twersky in 1937, Rozenfeld formulated his literary credo: Without having a big selection of types, I must be content with the situations in which I place my characters. And as a result, each type ceases to be a type. For in reality, the typical kind does not exist! Rozenfelds autobiographical method seeks to explore the potential for deviant behaviour when individuals are removed from their normal social environments and placed in extreme situations. Rozenfeld saw himself as a Yiddish Gorky whose short stories and autobiographical fiction chronicled Jewish working-class life in Odessa and the Lower East Side tenements. Except for a few translations of his short stories, most of his work remains a hidden treasure of modern Yiddish literature. Nevertheless, Rozenfeld belongs among the most original Yiddish prose writers of his generation. (YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe; Rozenfeld, Yona) Subjects: Yiddish fiction. Autobiography. Light wear to cloth, endpapers lightly aged, otherwise, fresh and clean. Very good condition. (YID-16-9)

17184to., on laid paper, some mild age- and damp-marking to several leaves; strongly bound in twentieth century boards, paper label, a bright, crisp copy. Although attributed here to Beaumont and Fletcher, later scholarship increasingly favours authorship by Fletcher and Massinger. The play, one of the finest Restoration comedies, was first performed in 1622 with the first licensed edition following in 1647. We have not been able to trace another eighteenth century edition of this work on its own. Tannenbaum, 501; see CBEL I, 635.
1692Sm. 4to., First Edition, some mild age-staining and spotting throughout; modern grey boards, paper label lettered in black on upper board, one or two upper margins closely shaved else a crisp, firm copy. Dryden's second-to-last play, and according to MacDonald partially completed by Southerne. Its first performance should have been early in April 1692, but on the 9th it was prohibited; it was acted out on or before 16 April at the Theatre Royal. In his Dedication Dryden attributes the lifting of the ban to Rochester (the dedicatee), who had represented the drama to the Queen as 'wholly innocent of those Crimes which were laid unjustly to its Charge'. The Life of Cleomenes is supplied by Creech (from Plutarch; see MacDonald 131). In this copy, as often, the Prologue and Epilogue appear before the 'Life'. CBEL II, p.267; MacDonald, 92.
