1976ref. 222781976. Sci-FiLiteratureFeminismLatino and Chicano Piercy Marge. Woman on the Edge of Time. New York: Alfred A. Knopf 1976. First edition. 369 pages. Original red and black cloth-backed boards with gilt spine lettering in the publisher's illustrated dust jacket. This feminist science fiction novel tells the story of Consuelo "Connie" Ramos a working-class Chicana woman in New York who is institutionalized after defending herself against an abusive relative. Piercy constructs a deeply layered narrative that shifts between the harsh institutional realities of 1970s New York and a utopian future society in the year 2137 one that has abolished gender binaries and capitalist exploitation. As Connie is mentally shuttled between her current confinement and the androgynous commune of Mattapoisett she becomes both a prophet and a battleground for competing visions of society. This novel is celebrated for its radical critique of systemic racism and gender oppression and for introducing Latina identity into speculative fiction through a protagonist who is a Chicana woman labeled "insane" by state institutions. It remains one of the most enduring examples of feminist utopian fiction and is frequently cited in academic discourses on feminist SF and critical race theory. Scholar Gerry Canavan notes that Piercy's work "offered the most fully realized feminist utopia yet imagined" Canavan Los Angeles Review of Books 2016. Faint scuffs and small 0.25" tear to top margin of dustjacket rear panel. Binding tight and internally clean. Near fine in very good dust jacket. A foundational work of feminist speculative fiction by American poet and novelist Marge Piercy and among the first science fiction novels to center a Latina protagonist. unknown books

Text entirely in Spanish. A collaborative book-length work combining poetry and conceptual imagery; published anonymously but compiled and edited primarily by Chilean avant-garde poet Godofredo Iommi. "Amereida" a composite neologism for "American Aeneid" is a conceptual chronicle of a literal cross-country trek from Tierra del Fuego to Southern Bolivia undertaken in 1965 by a group of like-minded poets architects designers philosophers and artists including Iommi 1925-2001 the architect Alberto Cruz 1917-2013 sculptor Claudio Girola 1923-1994 French philosopher François Fédier 1935-2021 and numerous others. Many of the participants in this first "Travesia Amereida" had originally coalesced around the surrealist group in post-war Paris and were later responsible for modernizing the faculty and curriculum of the College of Architecture at the Universidad Católico de Valparaíso. In 1971 the group founded an intentional community the "Ciudad Abierta" "Open City" in Ritoque Chile some kilometers southwest of Valparaíso; the community is still in existence and the tradition of the "Travesias" continues with annual journeys through the South American wilderness that become stages for performance poetry readings and art installations. La Ciudad Abierta quoting the editorial introduction to the poem in the Oxford Book of Latin American Poetry ".is probably the only site in the world where architecture is conceived as an outgrowth of poetry" OBLAP p.362ff.

Woodcut pictorial title page. 555 leaves 50-line text in two columns initials executed in red to roughly half of text. First leaf of signature a1 misbound at rear of signature. 8vo. This Bible was the first issued with a pictorial title page the third with a title page and the second Bible in octavo format. It also includes the first appearance of the alphabetical table of contents Tabula Alphabetica Historiarum Biblie prepared by the Franciscan Gabriele Bruno. The title page is a classic image of a standing St. Peter keys in hand and a nimbus around his head accompanied by the inscription Tu es Petrus "you are Peter" a reference to Matthew 16:13-19 KJB 16:18-19: "thou art Peter and upon this rock I will build my church.And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven." Its colophon is also notable. More than a basic production statement it includes an early form of a publisher's blurb. After it discusses the value of the Bible as a "Book of Life" it enumerates the features of this imprint: marginal concordances interpretations of Hebrew names Bruno's table and the editorial oversight by another Franciscan Petrus Angelus de Monte Ulmi. Another feature not mentioned is its lower cost which was made possible by its small format. Girolamo de' Paganini is known only through the three volumes he issued in Venice in the 1490s: the 1492 Latin Bible 1492 its reprint 1497 which does not have a pictorial title page and a quarto edition of Pope Gregory's Pastoral Rule 1492.

Small 4to some sections in folio. Based on the 1472 Bible printed by Peter Schoeffer in Mainz which was based on the original Gutenberg text this was one of the earliest Bibles printed in quarto format the second according to Goff. Priority may belong to the Bible issued by Octavianus Scotus dated 31 May 1480; the first was issued in Piacenza in 1475. Considerably less expensive than books produced in Folio format these early quarto Bibles were produced for the general marketplace. Less-expensive portable easy to store and better suited to study they found a ready audience among clergy students and laypeople.

In most respects this is a fine example of the less-expensive quarto Bibles issued by Venetian printers in the late 1400s for the general marketplace. This copy has an unusual feature. Instead of an iluminated or decorated initial at the beginning of the main text it has a repurposed section of a woodcut depicting the murder of a sainted bishop with mitre and halo by two men in an ecclesiastical setting. The victim is probably Thomas a Becket Archbishop of Canterbury who was assassinated in 1170 or Praetextatus Bishop of Rouen who was assassinated in 586. Both men were assassinated by order of their monarchs in their cathedrals and canonized afterwards which adds an intriguing element to our copy. Was it owned by someone who opposed royal infringement on Church authority The date of this imprint is somewhat vague. The colophon states "Anno dni. Mcccclxxxvij iij. Cal. Martij." The ISTC notes this has been interpreted as 27 February 1487/88 in the BMC and GW and by Sack as 28 February 1487/88 who probably assumed that February 1487 in the Venetian calendar included an extra day on account the leap year of 1488.

Red quarter morocco clamshell box. First edition of the Sixtine Vulgate Bible. Engraved illustrated title-page. Title in red and black text in double columns. 8 479 1; 5 482-899; 5 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr ac moderator Deus ." as often. Folio 13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches. The Sixtine Bible containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" Darlow & Moule who discuss the textual variations. The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard and lasting long thereafter is spurious. Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592 and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible which long remained the standard Vulgate text. As often e.g. the Brooker copy this copy without the preface the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.
