1813réf. 18016Somerset PA: Friedrich Goeb 1813. First Edition. Original blind ruled calf over oak boards. Good; joints & hinges cracked; front oak board has a vertical split; front cover nearly loose; some peripheral marginal water stains; straps missing. Large 4to 4 527 66 2 169 3 pp. Accompanied by three 18th century printed hymns and a large inserted color Fraktur bookplate signed by the scribe. A unique copy of this bible from the Yaukey Yocky family.The Goeb printing of Luther's bible in Somerset is historic in itself; especially so given the generous format Goeb chose for his work. What makes this copy unique is the laid-in copies of three printed hymns; two from "Sisters" of the Ephrata Cloister but all originating at Snow Hill. Catherine Redelsberger and Barbara Schneeberger for whose family farm the Snow Hill sanctuary was named were among the earliest American women converts to Beissel's Seventh-Day Baptists. Andreas Schneeberger is represented here by a hymn printed at the Cloister on laid paper clearly watermarked CB in a "fluttering heart" Gravell #198. It is most likely that the Redelsberger hymn was also printed at the Cloister but there is no watermark. The three broadside printings are: 1 Der Schw. Catharina Redelsberger Glaubens-Lied. Unlocated. 2 Geistliches Trauer-Lied gestellt von Schw. Barbara Schneeberger. Unlocated 3 Wurde abgesungen den 31ten August 1793: Bey B. A. S. auf dem jährlichen Fest an der Antitum. Printed at the Cloister. Attributed to Andreas Schneeberger. Shipton & Mooney #26144 with the entry taken from Seidensticker and no location provided. There apparently is one copy at HSP. These ephemeral publications were sold through western Pennsylvania by itinerant peddlers or after meetings see Yoder pp. 42 - 44 barely noting any from the 18th century. Few survive. The three offered here must have been acquired by the Yaukey family 20 years before the Goeb bible was printed and retained for generations within the family. They are spotted and toned and irregularly trimmed. The Fraktur bookplate in the bible is large 285 x 230 mm. It is a geometric lettered design in four colors green yellow red brown that is signed and dated: Samuel Jackson Sept. 14 1827. In all an outstanding survival. S & S #27883; Gravell #198.

1524In-folio; ff. (392), in caratteri romani; il titolo, tranne le prime due righe, è in caratteri gotici; pelle marrone ottocentesca firmata Bedford, con decorazione dorata ai piatti entro doppia cornice, titolo in oro al dorso, fregi, nervature, tagli dorati. Ex libris John Fairfax Crowder. Al frontespizio sotto al titolo una xilografia raffigura "Petrus Delphinus Generalis" inginocchiato di fronte a A. Romualdo; la pagina è inquadrata in una cornice a grottesche su legno che reca il monogramma "I C", che era stata impiegata nel 1521 per Sallustio, e poi per l'edizione delle Vite de SS. Padri del 1532. Raro epistolario del generale dei camaldolesi, fonte ricchissima per la vita storica e artistica fiorentina del XV secolo. PIETRO DELFIN, (Venezia 1444-1525), venne eletto generale dei camaldolesi nel 1480, e coltivò costantemente le lettere e la teologia, tenendosi in relazione con gli uomini più illustri del suo tempo, soprattutto con gli umanisti. Irriducibile avversario del Savonarola, nel suo Dialogus in Ieronymum Ferrariensem arrivò a chiedere la condanna al rogo del frate. Prima edizione del suo epistolario, una ricchissima fonte per la dottrina teologica ma anche per i dettagli storici di cui le sue lettere sono corredate. L'argomento principale che è al centro degli scritti di Delfin è certamente la disputa teologica o comunque religiosa, oggetto di fitti scambi epistolari con i rappresentanti del clero e gli umanisti di tutta Italia; tra gli altri argomenti vi rientra anche una disquisizione piuttosto lunga (l. II ep.LXXVII) circa l'azione corruttrice delle rappresentazioni teatrali, in particolare delle commedie, con un richiamo ai ludi scaenici degli antichi romani. Ma dati i rapporti con gli umanisti del tempo, la raccolta contiene anche scambi epistolari con questi ultimi: Ugolino Verino, Ermolao Barbaro, Francesco Guicciardini ecc. Ad esempio proprio in una di queste missive si esprime l'augurio che si ponga mano ad una edizione completa delle opere di Leon Battista Alberti. In folio; ff. (392), in Roman characters; the title, except for the first two lines, is in gothic characters; 19th century brown calf binding signed Bedford, with gilt decoration on the plates within a double frame, gilt title on the spine, friezes, bands, gilt edges. Ex libris John Fairfax Crowder. On the title page, under the title, a wood plate depicts "Petrus Delphinus Generalis" kneeling in front of A. Romualdo; the page is framed in a grotesque frame on wood bearing the monogram "I C", which had been used in 1521 for Sallustio, and then for the edition of the Vite dei SS. Padri 1532. Rare epistolary of the general of the Camaldolese order, a very rich source for the historical and artistic life of Florence in the 15th century. PIETRO DELFIN, (Venice 1444-1525), was elected general of the Camaldolese order in 1480, and constantly cultivated literature and theology, keeping in touch with the most illustrious men of his time, above all with the humanists. Irreducible opponent of Savonarola, in his Dialogus in Ieronymum Ferrariensem he came to ask for the friar to be condemned to the stake. First edition of his epistolary, a very rich source for theological doctrine but also for the historical details with which his letters are accompanied. The main topic that is at the center of Delfin's writings is certainly the theological or religious dispute, the subject of dense exchanges of letters with representatives of the clergy and humanists from all over Italy; among the other topics there is also a rather long disquisition (l. II ep.LXXVII) about the corrupting action of theatrical representations, in particular of comedies, with a reference to the ludi scaenici of the ancient Romans. Given the relationships with the humanists of the time, the collection also contains correspondence with the latter: Ugolino Verino, Ermolao Barbaro, Francesco Guicciardini etc. For example, precisely in one of these letters the wish is expressed that a complete edition of the works of Leon Battista Alberti be put to work.

Boerner, Leipzig, 1928, Liste XLI, S. 3; Wichmann, Wilhelm von Kobell. Monographie und kritisches Werkverzeichnis der Werke. München 1970, Nr. 64 mit Abb. Wichmann datiert die Zeichnung um ?1787?. Mit der Datierung ?um 1787? irrt Wichmann, denn die Zeichnung zeigt Schloß Ehrenburg nach der Vollendung der neugotischen Umgestaltung der Eckpavillons (ursprünglich nach Plänen Schinkels) ab 1817, aber vor der Vollendung des neugotisch gestalteten Turmes über dem Mitteltrakt, also noch in der Gestalt der Zeit vor 1834. Als mögliche Zeit der Entstehung dieser Zeichnung ist also ?um 1818-1834? anzunehmen. (Diese Hinweise danken wir Dr. Klaus Weschenfelder, Veste Coburg, Email vom 3.11.2015). Ein Beleg für einen Aufenthalt Kobells in Coburg in diesen Jahren fehlt bislang.
réf. 618-Eo.J. Feder in Grau, über Bleistift, grau laviert, mit gezeichneter Umrandung, auf cremefarbenem Velin. 20,1:24,1 cm. - Mit leichten Altersspuren. Provenienz: Sammlung Fürst Leopold I. von Anhalt-Dessau, Lugt 1708b; Sammlung Elsa Hauser, erworben 26.6.56 (Notiz auf alter Unterlage). Bildhaft ausgeführte Zeichnung! Obgleich nicht signiert, zeigt die Darstellung unzweifelhaft den frühen, stark nazarenisch geprägten Stil des Zeichners. In Form eines dreiteiligen Flügelaltars mit sparsamen gotischen Zierformen angelegt, ist die Komposition der Szenen sehr sorgfältig gestaltet und zeichnerisch fein ausgeführt. Die Ikonographie ist indessen sehr selten und gerade für einen Altar völlig unüblich, wird hier doch der junge Jesus bei der Ausführung mehrerer unterschiedlicher Arbeiten gezeigt, natürlich immer in symbolischer Überhöhung- profane Tätigkeiten, denen eine heilsgeschichtliche Sinnhaftigkeit unterlegt ist. In der Mitte Christus als Gärtner beim Blumengießen (das Gedeihen der geistlichen Saat), links, mit seinem Ziehvater Joseph, beim Tragen von Brettern (die Kreuzigung vorwegnehmend), rechts beim Wasserschöpfen, während seine Mutter Maria in einem Buch liest (wohl das Wasser des Lebens im Paradies andeutend).

Im Passepartoutausschnitt minimal gebräunt, sowie Nadelspuren in den Ecken. - Literatur: vgl. Ausstellungskatalog: Karl Hubbuch 1891-1979. Karlsruhe, Badischer Kunstverein, 1981, Abb. S. 30 oben (dort Zeichnung in farbiger Kreide ?Margeriten und Löwenmaul? von 1941/45; 59,5 x 40 cm).
réf. 123-Io.J. Aquarellierte Bleistiftzeichnung, auf Bütten mit Wasserzeichen: J Honig & Zoonen, verso mit Bleistift bezeichnet ?Franz Horny?. 42,7:60,3 cm. ? Zwei Knickfalten in der linken oberen Ecke geglättet, oben mittig leichter brauner Fleck schwach sichtbar (abgelöster Tesafilm). Mit seiner 1796-1799 entstandenen Ölstudie (Größe 28:41 cm), hat der Maler einen nahezu identischen Landschaftsausschnitt gewählt, wobei der gewählte Standpunkt weiter links war und dadurch einige Häuser von Olevano sichtbar werden, wogegen die Mauer und der angeschnittene Baum rechts fehlen. Dafür reicht der Blick in die Campagna weiter. (Vgl. Ausst. Katalog: Johann Martin von Rohden 1778-1868. Hrsg. von M. Heinz. Kassel/Wuppertal, 2000/2001, Nr. 6 mit farb. Abb. S. 51). Wie bei von Rohden öfter zu beobachten, fehlt auch bei unserer Zeichnung die Vordergrundausführung. Die Behandlung der Bäume entspricht ganz und gar seinem Zeichenstil, wie man ihn in den Landschafts- und Baumstudien findet.
