1834pp. 395, (1) [Errata]. Damp stained. Age stained. 12mo. 150 mm. Original full leather binding. Spine decorated in gold with original leather spine label. Front board fragile. Binding rubbed and worn. Johannes Herr (1781-1850), was the founder of the Reformed Mennonite Church. Around 1800 his father (Francis) was expelled from the Mennonite Church in West Lampeter Township, Lancaster County, PA. Francis began to conduct religious services in his home as a lay brother. He died in 1810, leaving a family of eight children, none of whom had been baptized as members in any church. Among those who associated with him in his lay services were Abraham Landis and David Buckwalter, both of whom had withdrawn from the Mennonite Church. After Francis Herr's death the meetings continued and his son John was asked to lead the services, although he was not yet baptized. In a meeting on 30 May 1812, at John Herr's home John was elected pastor and bishop, and Abraham Landis was elected to baptize him. Herr in turn baptized Landis and Abraham Groff, Groff being elected deacon. Soon thereafter Abraham Landis was chosen preacher, followed by John Groff as preacher. In 1812 the first meetinghouse was dedicated, called Longenecker's. John became a vigorous leader of the new group. He traveled widely, especially to Western New York and Ontario, where congregations of his group were established. Scarce First Edition. PA SHELF 011A

2009réf. 727Chestertown Md: Chester River Press 2009. First thus. Hardcover. New/New. Lawrence Avery. New still in publisher's shrink-wrap. This scarce two-volume set of "The Iliad" and "The Odyssey" a 2009 first edition/first printing is the very definition of a "fine edition" and it might be the very definition of "luxury item" as well. It was published by Chester River Press a firm that specializes in bespoke books that are designed in cooperation with the individual commissioning a publication. In this case that anonymous individual went all out with separate hardcover folio copies for each text with the original Homeric Greek edited by Barry B. Powell Professor of Classics Emeritus at the University of Wisconsin-Madison in parallel columns with the great Alexander Pope translation. Steven Shankman Professor Emeritus at the University of Oregon and UNESCO Chair in Transcultural Studies Interreligious Dialogue and Peace wrote a two-part introduction that tells the reader first about Homer then about Pope. It may be the illustrations that make these volumes especially distinguished however. Most of the approximately 55 original prints produced by Avery Lawrence are in the form of full-page recreations of red-and-black Greek pottery that illustrate the stories being told.if "recreations" is the right word for images that follow the exacting artistic forms but still spring from Lawrence's imagination. The facing captions provide the applicable quotes for the action being depicted but also the date and even the artist or collector of the vessel used as a prototype. The print is dignified and sized to be easy to read and the paper is sturdy without being overly thick in a cream color that is gentle on the eyes. They are bound in identical black Dutch cloth with differences in their decoration and obviously their lettering but following the same format. "The Iliad" has an ancient Greek plumed helmet in profile stamped in gold on its front cover. A smaller copy of that helmet is at the top of the spine with the publisher's name at the bottom. The title in large Greek letters is between. All are stamped in bright gold. "The Odyssey" is similar in appearance. Instead of a helmet its cover is decorated with an ancient Greek ship and the title is again in Greek lettering. Unlike many books that come in slipcases these volumes have dustjackets made of sturdy glossy black paper. The spines of the dustjackets match the spines of the binding of the volumes only with orange printing instead of gold but the covers are quite different from the covers of the volume bindings. Here the Greek titles are printed in large orange letters with the titles repeated in smaller orange letters beneath along with Homer's and Alexander Pope's names. Shankman's and Lawrence's names are beneath those even smaller again in orange. We have described the text block to some extent above but we did not mention that each volume has a bright gilt top edge and comes with double black and gold satin ribbon bookmarks. The two volumes share a single slipcase and in this case even that slipcase is extraordinary - black sturdy with an attached broad satin ribbon that is serves as a booklift to help take the volumes out without damage. There are also small blocks built into the bottom of the interior of the slipcase that serve as supports for the text blocks so they don't drag on the binding helpful as the volumes are substantive and large: 15"x13"x1.75" to 2". These books won't be easy to cuddle up with but they will be volumes to be treasured as exemplars of the book arts. That is likely why institutions as far afield as the National Library of New Zealand and as prestigious as the Wren Library at Trinity College Cambridge University have copies. Now you can possess one too. Ours are new and still in shrink wrap as delivered by the publisher. See attached photos. Happy to address any questions.
