1793réf. 6143Seggiano Italy 1793. Manuscript codex 32 x 22.5 cm. in several hands; various paginations in 24 gatherings of unequal lengths including additionally several miscellaneous receipts all indicating a retrospective assemblage headed by a summary report as reflected by the title on the first gathering; bound in vellum and tied with cords. ~ A reference account book for the crop year October 1793-September 1794 two instances of the date 1792 may be errors made for an agricultural estate in the Tuscan municipality Seggiano near Siena south of Florence. It was prepared in advance of a detailed examination or inspection presumably commissioned by the lord of the estate Fausto Ugurgeri originally Ugurgieri della Berardenga of a Siennese family well known in the area from the 9th to the 19th century. The compiler declares himself on the cover as Antonio Ciotti likely the agricultural manager of the estate though he may also have held some public administrative office. Italian fattore cognate with fattoria farmstead appears originally in medieval times to have embraced "accountant" among its meanings but here may approach "director" or "manager" thus encompassing accountant but broader. His title Magnifico does not necessarily indicate membership in the nobility but would seem to confer recognition of public administrative office of some sort. ~ The Ugurgeri/Ugurgieri family traced its lineage to the feudal lords Winigis who founded the first nunnery in the region Fontebona in 867 as well as other religious foundations near Siena thus installing themselves with some degree of permanence as worldly proprietors and heirs according to the traditions of the Italian city states. The name derives more specifically as a contraction of Ugo di Ruggieri a twelfth-century descendant and Sienese consul whose long line held political sway in the centuries thereafter. Their history entwined with that of another line descended from the Winigis the Berarda family who consolidated even greater regional power by the thirteenth century. Hence the formal name Ugurgieri della Berardenga by which Fausto's more immediate ancestors had been known it is not known when the form used here was first adopted. Today there is still a fortress complex called the Palazzo degli Ugurgieri in Siena as well as an entire comune or township - famous for its Chianti wines and vin santos - called Castelnuovo Berardenga. The estate holdings passed from the last of the Ugurgeri Isabella to one Giovanni Battista Vivarelli in the early nineteenth century and subsequently changed hands several times until it was purchased by the Piccolomini family of Siena after World War II. ~ Some sample headings for the accounts: First gathering 6 recto: Canto a Vacche Account for Cows; Cano a Pecore Account for Sheep; recto 9 not counting receipts in folder bound in: Residovi Restati in Mano di me Ant. Ciotti di Tenuta di Seggiano Spettante al Nobile Signore Ugurgieri di 30 Settembre 1794. Residuals Remaining to Hand with me Antonio Ciotti of the Seggiano Estate due the Noble Lord Ugurgeri on 30 September 1794. Second gathering headed: Giornale al Mese d'Ottobre 1793. Journal for the Month October 1793; heading on page 98 13th gathering: Note dell'Olive che si macinevanno dai Particolari all' Oliviera di Casa Pagando di Molenda Cinque Quartucci ogni Pilata a Peso e misure tenese di 356 il Boccale. Notes on Olives that have been Milled Specifically for the Home Oil at a Cost of Five Quartucci a liquid measure by weight and measured at 356 per tankard. A chief purpose of the accounts was to record payments for services in cash goods or land use; such payments were not only noted but also indexed as for example in the 23rd gathering where names that are written on the first recto in a neat scribal hand appear grouped according to place number in the subsequent leaves but recorded there as occasion arose and in some cases in evident haste one Domenico Ferri for instance in group 13 was given cash contanti and a garden plot una partita di suolo. ~ The accounts kept include those for maintenance of livestock pigs goats sheep for maintenance of seed crops per mantenimento di coltivazioni semente and for costs related to transport of animals and goods. Ciotti's personal summary of accounts payable and received - a sizeable business was conducted with both Siena and the village of Baccinello - supplies a good idea of the extent of the Estate's production enumerating quantities of wheat rye farina barley vegetables cheese olive oil walnuts wool and linen. It seems that Ciotti had authority to operate finances with some latitude as even alms for the poor and religious mendicants were noted per elemosina a più poveri e religiosi mendicanti when the local Capuchin Friars Minor came to call though the commitment appears to have been trivial by comparison to the generosity exhibited by Ugurgieri forbears of an earlier millennium. There are many details that await interpretation and analysis but for modern eyes an endearing attribute might be noted namely that in livestock lists the affectionate names of cows are recorded Damigella Little Lady Pastorella Shepherdess Bellarosa Lovely Rose Pomposella Little Miss Grand.

1519réf. 38015Paris: Vaenundatur a M. Nicolao De Barra 1519. 4to 19.7 cm 7.75". 30 pp. final blank lacking. Posthumous but still early edition of Andrelini's collection of epigrams addressing a variety of groups and topics including readers sleep and faith; here in => the first edition edited by Jean Vatel and with his commentary. Andrelini ca. 14621518 was an Italian humanist friend of Erasmus until a dramatic break in 1511 and poet royal to both Charles VIII and Queen Anne of Brittany. Vatel was a similarly intriguing Renaissance man the "data" page of the website of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France designates him "Clerc humaniste professeur de grec traducteur et commentateur éditeur dessinateur de caractères typographiques et imprimeur-libraire." Andrew Pettegree and Malcolm Walsby's bibliography of pre-1601 French books shows that Vatel was greatly interested in Andrelini and edited at least a dozen of his works; his commentary for this text was subsequently reprinted numerous times in the 16th and 17th centuries. The text is neatly printed in two different sizes of roman font with one decorative and one historiated initial a Virgin and Child; a sizable printer's device appears on the title-page. Searches of the NUC WorldCat and COPAC reveal only one U.S. institution Yale reporting owning this edition. Provenance: From the library of American collector Albert A.

Hardcover. no dust jacket moderate shelfwear some browning/spotting to page edges light bumps and slight fraying to cloth at bottom corners one-time owner's signature in pencil on ffep tiny tear at fore-edge of title page. Crime novel that segues to a Western setting about halfway through hence the Western-motif front-cover decoration of a man on horseback waving a large hat by this prolific pulp novelist one of eleven books he wrote under the Baxter pseudonym between 1923 and 1935. This tells the exploits of "Geraldi dashing knight errant who is a modern Robin Hood who preys only upon those who have preyed upon others." Originally serialized in Western Story Magazine in 1928; later published as by Max Brand as "Three on the Trail" and subsequently in paperback as "Gunman's Goal." The original serial title was probably "Tragedy Trail" although I've not verified this directly; another seller claims it was "Three on the Trail" but that title does not appear among the list of serials credited to Baxter during 1928. .

In relation to the original: "In some bibliographies and databases this work is attributed to Henry H. Porter who was publisher of the journals stated in the imprint. This attribution may be based on the absence of Faust's name on the title-page or the fact the Porter's Catechism is but loosely based on the original. Porter's Catechism was extensively edited and/or rewritten by the Philadelphia physician D. Francis Condie who was closely associated with Porter and John Bell in editing the Journal of health. Thomas Horrocks points out that Condie reoriented Faust's Catechism to a predominantly middle-class American readership: 'Defining middle class life as beneficial to one's health is just one example of how Condie refashioned Faust's message. to bring it more in line with the emerging health reform movement of the period.'. In keeping with the theme of personal responsibility inherent to the closely related evangelical and health reform movements Condie placed less emphasis on public health than Faust. Porter frequently reissued the Catechism in its two-year publishing history. In 1831 this first edition of the Catechism was published.
