1917rif. 279176New York: The Cortes Society 1917. Hardcover. First issue of this translation a handsome small hardbound buff boards bearing two-color title-label under brown buckram backstrip also has a spine-title label. Find a small but very bad impact dent to tail of rear cover causing a deep fissure in the buckram'd cover and severe wrinkles in the latter half of all text-leaf margins. Corner-tips are also damaged. Item looks good in a general way physically tight and square but within has another sort of damage: textblock was left untrimmed and signatures unopened and there are long stretches "opened" by someone confidently ignorant of the how-to-to-its of opening connected leaves use the flat of a table knife close the book upon it and pray to Caxton. Finally both labels are dim and the spine label also scuffed. Presentable but a fair to good copy only. Documents and Narratives concerning the discovery and conquest of Latin America.

Undated No. 428. Nice Firm Clean copy ! Moderate general wear. Spine bottom missing 1 inch on Vol. 2. Size: 8vo 7.75 - 9.75'' tall. This book for the first time fully translated from the Latin by J. Priel with erotic illustrations by A. Puyplat. The Epistolæ Obscurorum Virorum English: Letters of Obscure Men was a celebrated collection of satirical Latin letters which appeared 1515-1519 in Hagenau Germany. They support the German Humanist scholar Johann Reuchlin and they mock the doctrines and modes of living of the scholastics and monks mainly by pretending to be letters from fanatic Christian theologians discussing whether all Jewish books should be burned as un-Christian or not. The work was based upon the real-life public dispute between German humanist Johann Reuchlin and certain Dominican monks especially the formerly Jewish convert Johannes Pfefferkorn who had obtained Imperial authority from Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I to burn all known copies of the Talmud in 1509. The title is a reference to Reuchlin's 1514 book Epistolae clarorum virorum English: Letters of famous/bright men which provided a collection of letters to Reuchlin on scholarly and intellectual matters from eminent German humanists. The Latin adjective obscurus 'obscure' is the opposite of clarus 'bright' used in the title of Reuchlin's book. The letters are addressed to Hardwin von Grätz in Deventer and contain mock accusations against him such as allegation that he had been intimate with Johannes Pfefferkorn's wife Letter XII and that Gratius had defecated his pants in public letter XL. The letters profess to be written by certain ecclesiastics and professors in Germany. The authorship has been a fertile subject of controversy but the main portion of the letters are attributed to the humanists Crotus Rubeanus a.k.a. Johannes Jäger who is said to have originated the idea and the title; Ulrich von Hutten who contributed mainly to the second volume; Erasmus; and Reuchlin. The work is credited with hastening the Protestant Reformation. Pope Leo X excommunicated the authors readers and disseminators of the Epistolæ Obscurorum Virorum in 1517 by citing the fact that the discussed matter of burning all Jewish books especially the Talmud had never been held as a majority view among Christian scholars.
