1704réf. (LCPCECO-0004)(Un précieux manuscrit calligraphié sur vélin, sans doute destiné à un membre très éminent de la Chancellerie Royale de Louis XIV) "TARIF DES DROITS DU SCEAU, TANT DE 1672, 1674, 1691, QUE DE L'AUGMENTATION DE 1704, QUE LE ROY DE L'ADVIS DE MONSIEUR LE CHANCELIER VEUT ESTRE LEVEZ A L'AVENIR SUR LES LETTRES ET EXPEDITIONS QUI SERONT SCELLEES EN LA GRANDE CHANCELLERIE...". s.d. (vers 1704) 4 parties en 1 volume in-12° (175x125 mm) (dimensions pages 169x114 mm) (7) ff. b. de papier, (1) f. b. de vélin, (48) ff. de vélin, (1) f. b. de vélin, (7) ff. b. de papier. Reliure de l'époque en maroquin noir. Encadrement de triple filet doré sur les plats avec fleurons dorés aux angles et fleurs de lys dorés en écoinçons. Dos à cinq nerfs avec compartiments décorés avec fleurs de lys et titre en lettres dorées. Roulette intérieure dorée. Tranches dorées. Précieux et rarissime manuscrit sur vélin, parfaitement calligraphié, dans sa reliure du temps en maroquin noir aux fleurs de lys, sans doute destiné à un des membres les plus éminents de la haute administration royale. A l'époque le Chancelier en charge (de 1699 à 1714) était le M.is Louis Phélypeaux, C.te de Maurepas et de Pontchartrain (1643-1727), qui "redonna à la chancellerie une importance et un éclat oubliés depuis la vieillesse de Pierre Séguier". Manques aux coiffes et partie inférieure du mors du premier plat fendu sur 3 cm, mais très bel exemplaire avec intérieur frais et magnifiquement conservé. Le texte est divisé en quatre parties. La première présente les tarifs par actes et par offices ; vient ensuite la liste des archevêchés et des évêchés ; suit un état de ce que doivent payer les chancelleries supérieures ; et, enfin, un "Tarif des droits de la Chancellerie de Paris et des chancelleries près de nos cours présidiaux...". Cette dernière partie semble ne pas être reprise dans l'édition de 1704. Ce rarissime manuscrit sur les droits de la Chancellerie royale et leur augmentation de 1704 est le précieux témoignage de la période fort troublée des dernières années du règne de Louis XIV. Nous sommes en pleine guerre pour la succession au trône d'Espagne, déclenchée en 1701 à la suite du décès de Charles II (le 1er novembre 1700), mort sans descendance. C'est le grand conflit qui oppose la France des Bourbons, qui soutient le Duc d'Anjou (futur Philippe V d'Espagne), deuxième fils du Grand Dauphin et petit-fils de Louis XIV, à l'Autriche des Habsbourg, qui soutient Charles, second fils de l'Empereur Léopold Ier. En 1702 l'Angleterre, le Saint-Empire romain germanique et les Provinces-Unies déclarent la guerre à la France, une guerre qui durera douze ans et qui épuisera toute l'Europe jusqu'à 1713 et aux signatures des Traités d'Utrech et de Rastatt (1714). Le coût des armées françaises est faramineux et l'augmentation des droits de chancellerie est un des premiers moyens employés pour remplir les caisses de l'Etat. Mais cela ne suffira pas. La France sera particulièrement frappée par la crise financière de 1709, étroitement liée à l'inflation causée par les colossales dépenses de guerre et aggravée par la plus terrible famine de son histoire, celle de l'hiver de la même année (avec 600.000 décès, le prix du blé multiplié de six à dix fois dans de nombreuses villes du royaume et le Roi obligé à mettre ses pierreries en gage de la monnaie royale). Les conséquences de cette crise enorme tourneront la France de la Régence (après la mort de Louis XIV en 1715), toujours en très grave déficit, au système de Law.

"In 1983, when Sally Ride became the first American woman to enter space, there was no question of whether she could handle the physical stress of the flight, because in 1961 a secret study found thirteen women were physically fit and properly motivated to become astronauts. Bernice Steadman was one of the twenty-five women invited, and one of the thirteen to pass that early strenuous physical. But then she was only allowed to watch, not to participate, as American men first flew into space." - from dust jacket. "A window into the life of a very remarkable lady.

1850réf. #4258vo. 215 x 160 mm. 8 ½ x 6 ¼ inches. 306 leaves chapters separated by blanks. 19th century leather backed marbled paper boards; inner hinge cracked edges bumped some abrasion to the head of the spine; sound. Beautifully written manuscript volume containing an extensive discussion of library management and practices written by an anonymous Spanish author in the middle of the 19th century. This dissertation organized in 70 chapters begins with a discussion of the library profession and its importance to civil society. His first chapters describe the "Archive" with reference to Spanish monastic governmental and diplomatic collections that have been preserved. He focuses his attention on Aragon Mallorca Navarra and Santiago. He turns to France to furnish some interested information on the archives in Paris before getting into the chapters on classification of materials and the creation of inventories. After nearly 200 leaves of text on the subject of archives the authors turns his attention to libraries. From the beginning he takes a historical approach focusing his attention on both books and manuscripts mentioning the collections at Cambridge University. Paleography is a subject he spends some time describing and then he moves into the history of printing typography Gutenberg and the spread of printing to Spain. The final dozen chapters are devoted to the rules for managing a library lessons in classification and inventory control. He quotes from both DeBure and Brunet in his lessons on cataloguing. A rather remarkable piece of work thought to be unpublished. An examination of both United States and Spanish national collections turned up no reference to this anonymous piece of library scholarship.

The name of the city “Villa de Grana dilla” added in manuscript with closure lines in ink after each paragraph. Unbound as issued. 4 last blank p. Unrecorded 1613 circular from Salamanca enforcing the Armada-era servicio de millones Spain’s foundational fiscal levy. This printed circular addressed to the municipal authorities of the Villa de Granadilla district of Salamanca and dated 14 February 1613 was issued by the royal commission for the servicio de millones. It instructs the council to review the first two years of collection deposit surpluses and use them to cover future shortfalls thereby avoiding new sisas consumption levies. From 1 April 1613 only the necessary taxes were to remain with any excess applied to public benefit. The order mandates detailed accounting before a scrivener and imposes fines for neglect. Signed by royal and municipal officers including Bernardino de Zúñiga and Francisco de Medina y Paz. The servicio de millones was an indirect tax introduced by Felipe II approved by the Cortes de Castilla on 4 April 1590 originally conceived to raise eight million ducados over six years to finance the royal expenditure associated with the Armada Invasion of England and other military commitments. Rather than remaining temporary it evolved into a regular levy on six staple items—wine oil vinegar meat soap and tallow candles—becoming embedded in Castilian fiscal practice. Over time the burden of collection shifted to local authorities and consumption-based levies sisas increased exacerbating pressure on towns and rural communities. The document therefore captures a moment when the Habsburg fiscal state under Felipe III was consolidating central control over municipal finances demanding proper accounting and deposit of surpluses and trying to prevent over-taxation—reflecting broader patterns of state building fiscal strain and local reticence in early-seventeenth-century Spain.

Front board almost detached. A well used field copy. The Crimean War prayer book of John Matthews of the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers with extensive manuscript inscriptions locating him at the British camp before Sebastopol and at Scutari. Matthews records himself on an endleaf as "John Matthews No. 4 Company/21st R.N.B. Fusiliers/Camp before Sebastopol/4th Division." Elsewhere he signs the volume variously as "Private 21st Regt" and Corpl. J. Matthews 21st Fusiliers." A particulary evocative ownership verso reads in part "John Matthews is my name and England is my nation/Crimea is my dwelling place and Christ is my salvation" followed by the traditional lines asking that the little book remember him after his death. Additional manuscript entries include "Scutari Bk. Hosp./Near Constantinople" apparently referring to the Barrack Hosiptal at Scutari together with a list of Crimean locations and actions: "Alma" "Inkerman" "Balaclava"and "Sebastopol." The 21st Royal North British Fusiliers served with the 4th Division in the Crimea and participated in the principal operations of the campaign.
