The famous novel by D'Annunmzio illustrated with sensitive woodcuts by Sylvian Sauvage 1888-1948. - In a signed art deco-binding by Marot-Roode. - The story is set in the Abruzzo region the birthplace of the author. The noble aesthete Giorgio Aurispa besotted with his unhappily-married lover Ippolita leaves Rome after witnessing a suicide. After a brief interlude with Ippolita in Albano Giorgio receives a telegram from his mother who lives in the small mountain village of Guardiagrele. Giorgio arrives in the beautiful city of stone and is fascinated by the sculptures; however he is equally haunted by popular superstitions and the memories of the suicide of his uncle Demetrio whom he had loved as a father. Worse Giorgio discovers that his actual father has squandered the family fortune forcing his mother and siblings to live in poverty while he carries on with a prostitute. Giorgio curses his father abandoning his family and runs to the sea buying a house on a hill in San Vito Chietino. Ippolita joins him and the two pursue a summer of decadent languor marred only by Giorgio's developing paranoia towards her. Giorgio is additionally obsessed with death and matters only become worse after the pair undertake a pilgrimage to the shrine of Casalbordino where the multitude of desperate supplicants begging cures of the statue of the Madonna drives them away in horror. While Giorgio becomes more and more unmoored and desperate to leave both Abruzzo and what he perceives as Ippolita's unwholesome influence she remains amused and fascinated by their surroundings. Finally Giorgio decides that his only recourse is to carry her over a seaside cliff killing the both of them. unknown

1905réf. 9447Bullfrog Nye County Nevada 1905. Two broadsheet menus 26 x 13.5 cm. 1 page each. Illustrated. Two holiday menus for Thanksgiving and Christmas of 1905 from the height of the Nevada Gold Rush. The Christmas menu assembled by Robert Brogelman Chef included Blue Point Oysters Mock Turtle Soup Lobster Mayonaise Oyster Fritters English Plum Pudding Malaga Grapes Hennesy 3 Star Brandy and Josyni Key West Cigars. The Thanksgiving menu included Roast Young Turkey a la Malcolm MacDonald Pumpkin Pie and a Manhattan Cocktail. The Montgomery-Shoshone Mine was a Death Valley gold and silver site discovered in 1904 and in operation by 1905 the year of these Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations. In April of the same year the Salt Lake Mining Review declared "the story of . the Mine's company's property at Bullfrog Nevada is so incredible that the bare facts seem clear out of the range of possibilities" page 8. In June of the same year the LA Times reported there were 1300 head of horses and mules on the Bullfrog-Las Vegas hauling freight. These holiday dinners were offered by the founder of the mine the already ridiculously wealthy Mr. E.A. Montgomery and his major partner Malcolm L. MacDonald. A year later the mine was sold to Charles Schwab the steel magnate not the financier Bullfrog was the definition of a boom town. Within a year of the original discovery 10000 people sought gold and pleasure there. "The town citizens had an active social life including baseball games dances basket socials whist parties tennis a symphony Sunday school picnics basketball games Saturday night variety shows at the opera house and pool tournaments. In 1906 Countess Morajeski opened the Alaska Glacier Ice Cream Parlor to the delight of the local citizenry. That same year an enterprising miner Tom T. Kelly built a Bottle House out of 50000 beer and liquor bottles" nps.gov "Rhyolite Ghost Town". By 1908 mine productivity was dwindling and by March 1911 the mine was shut. The Thanksgiving menu has some small grease stains and tape repairs to the verso at two folds. The Christmas menu has one short tape repair to the edge. Still near very good and a rare survival from the apex moment of a town that lasted little more than six years. unknown

1693réf. 698811693. Leyden F. Haaring 1693 12° 8 172 alter Pergamenteinband. Rare - First and only edition of this work on the human digestion! Jacob Le Mort 1650-1718 after completing his studies he worked in Johann Rudolph Glauber's pharmacy in Amsterdam in 1667 and after Glauber's death in 1672 he set up a chemical laboratory in Leiden. Here he gave lectures on pharmacy and botany from 1675 and was admitted to the medical college in 1677. To this end he obtained his doctorate in medicine on 13 July 1678 with a thesis entitled 'De Medicamentis Galenicis' under Jacob Vallan at the University of Utrecht. In 1690 he became a lecturer in chemistry and head of the chemical laboratory in Leiden. After being granted a teaching licence at the medical faculty in 1692 he was appointed professor of chemistry and medicine on 6 May 1702 a position he took up with his inaugural lecture 'De concordantia operum naturae chymiae et medicinae'. With the appointment of this chair the chemical sciences were given a recognised place in Leiden's scientific world for the first time. As a member of the teaching staff he was also involved in the organisational tasks of the Leiden educational institution and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1706/07 a position he resigned with his speech 'De empirica doctrina medica'. After his death Herman Boerhaave took over his chair of chemistry. He was familiar with Boyle's writings imbued with the atomic theory and Descartes Followed in paying special attention to the shapes of the particles and opponent of the contemporary view of blood circulation which he defined as a 'Doctrina cadaverosa' without any real use. In his work as a chemist he investigated the fermentation theory of Franciscus Sylvius which he found unpersuasive. This work contains research of considerable interest primarily on the fermentation of organic substances and mixtures of food. A Dutch translation by Jacobus Romans appeared in 1696 as part of the edition of the Dutch translation of his Pharmacia .

1860réf. 3220383Chromolithograph panorama 8.8 x 296 cm on five conjoined strips; folding down into the original black cloth covers 9.1 x 11.2 cm. Rare and attractive if rather disconcerting tourist souvenir panorama of the Dance of Death. The panorama contains 43 separate scenes and is a reproduction of the 63 metre-long fresco painted on the inner wall of the cemetery of the Augustinan Convent Basel c.1440. that was possibly created under the influence of the plague epidemic of 1439. The sequence emphasises the vanity of social distinctions each character dancing with death. The wall and fresco were demolished in 1805 however a number of fragments survive in the Historisches Museum Basel. Identifications of the subjects is given in the bottom margin in French English and German. The English identifications read from left to right: Preacher Charnel House Pope Emperor Empress King Queen Cardinal Bishop Duke Duchess Earl Abbot Knight Lawyer Alderman Canon Doctor Nobleman Lady Merchant AbbessCripple Hermit Young Man Maiden Minstrel Herald Judge Headsman Jester Pedlar Blind Man Jew Pagan Paganess Cook Peasant Painter Painter's Wife Paradise and The Dance of Death. As a tailpiece a view of Todlenanz as it appeared in 1800. The panorama is derived from a watercolour copy by the still life painter Johann Rudolf Feyerabend 1779-1814 that was completed in 1806 and is also housed in the Historisches Museum Basel. [Basel?]
