1910réf. 508418The Franciscan Fathers St. Michaels Mission Press 1910. First Edition. Hardcover. NEAR FINE. First Printing hand-numbered copy '3' from an edition limited to 200 copies signed by 'Franciscan Fathers.' 7 8-536pp. Large 8vo sewn binding in red buckram with gilt stamped spine lettering originally issued in wraps. The first Navajo dictionary and the first book printed by the St. Michaels Press at the Franciscan Navajo Indian Mission. Compiled by three Franciscan priests under the direction of Fr. Berard Haile with no formal anthropological or linguistic training apart from their Seminary training in sacred languages this dictionary was an extraordinary accomplishment that stunned its first academic readers. The story of the coming of the Franciscan Friars to Navajo lands and their ethnographic work among the Dine people is relayed in fascinating detail in 'Tales of an Endishodi the memoirs of Berard Haile edited by Fr. Murray Bodo. The three fathers were first goaded into their work by a visit from Dr. Stewart Culin an anthropologist and director of the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. Culin was researching a comparative work on Indian games and sports and visited St. Michaels during his travels among the Zuni Hopi and Navajo tribes. He appealed to the fathers to collect material for his research leaving them his notes from his study among the Zunis. Simply by mimicing these notes Haile Anselm and Leopold began interviewing their Navajo neighbors accompanying them on hunting trips and even participating in rituals and ceremonies which were later explained by elder singers and medicine men. Culin was so impressed by the wealth of original and previously undocumented material they submitted to him that he insisted they publish it themselves and so the project of an Ethnologic Dictionary was conceived. Culin's partnership in the project continued as he brokered the purchase of a press type cutter and other print-shop accessories. Culin also facilitated advance subscriptions to purchase the dictionary at $5.00 per copy with many East Coast institutions. Finally George Connelly a long time printer for the Cincinnati Enquirer had been dealing with health problems and was seeking some refuge from the city. He heard about the project and volunteered his services setting the type and incorporating a number of Fr. Leopold's hand-drawn illustrations. The completed project earned the aprobation of many distinguished anthropologists such as Yale's Edward Saphir and Frederick Webb Hodge at UW. The work was reprinted multiple times over the following century. Although in many ways Haile and other linguists and anthropologists have built on and moved beyond this work it was continually reprinted in its original state as a witness to the fresh encounter and unique picture of Navajo life at that specific turn-of-the-century moment. 'Fathers Anselm Weber Leopold Ostermann and Berard Haile were all priests of the Franciscan Province of Cincinnati Ohio. Father Anselm the Superior of the Mission at St. Michaels Arizona from 1900 till his death in 1921 was largely responsible for adding over 1.5 million acres to the Navajo Reservation writing countless letters to Congressmen and visiting Washington to lobby for additional lands for the Dine. Father Leopold was one of the key contributors to An Ethnologic Dictionary of the Navaho Language and an important person in building rapport with the Dine; and Father Berard who lived among the Dine for over half a century and was an extraordinary linguist did much to provide a written Navajo language and to record traditional Navajo chants and rituals.'

1492réf. D16270Venice: Hieronymus de Paganinis 1492. Hardcover. Very Good. 7 September 1492 from colophon: Impressa vero in felici Venetorum ciuitate sumptibus et arte Hieronymi de Paganinis Brixiensis. Anno gratie millesimo quadrigentesimo nonagesimosecundo. Septimus Idus septembris.. 8vo 170 x 120mm. 510 leaves of 552 lacking the Interpretation of Hebrew Names 41 leaves at the end and final blank. Signatures: A10 a-z8 aa-zz8 A-P8 Q12. Title printed with Biblia in gothic letter in upper margin above rectangular woodcut of St. Peter holding keys within double ruled border captioned Tu es petrus later hand coloring to halo and garb of Peter. Title verso with the Tabula alphabetica historiarum Bibliae compiled by Gabriele Bruno. Text printed double column index in triple column 50 lines to a full column printed in gothic type with red rubrics and headings rubricated versal initials alternating red and blue ink printed marginal citations throughout. Modern vellum yapped edges endpapers renewed; register and first few leaves of prologue little frayed to the margins some light dampstaining near end only light intermittent stains edges lightly browned annotations trimmed close in few margins and few minor marginal repairs otherwise a sound and solid incunable edition of the Biblia Latina retaining the inaugural woodcut. Scattered period Latin annotations and manicules in margins occasionally repeating a word in Scripture like Patientia or names of the biblical persons from text Helias Jezebel or Joab and names of kings and their sons are also curiously given much attention writing in more lengthy memory devices for their relationships Roboam filius Salamonis rex in Juda all seemingly the work of one scholar and another cancelled early inscription on A9 perhaps the name Carolii. Overall studied and plenty in inscriptions some annotations in Jeromes prologue and later books are written in red ink. This is the second octavo edition of the Latin Bible printed in Venice in 1492 containing the corrections by the Franciscan scholar Pierangelo da Montolmo named in the robust colophon as Petrus Angelus de Monte Ulmi; supposedly a folio edition was issued this same year by the same printer Girolamo de Paganini or Hieronymus de Paganinis though not found in standard references. The earliest octavo edition of the Latin Bible also known as the poor mans Bible was printed in Basel by Froben in 1491. This Venetian octavo edition is the first Latin Bible to include the Tabula alphabetica historiarum Bibliae an alphabetical table of contents compiled by the Franciscan Gabriele Bruno or Brunus in 1489. It is also the earliest printed Bible to display a woodcut on the title printers of Bibles had previously avoided title pages to best imitate manuscript sources. This 1492 edition was reprinted in 1497 and corresponded closely to the Brescian edition of 1496; the more common 1497 reprint reused the St. Peter woodcut but omitted Biblia on the title page. The woodcuts caption Tu es Petrus You are Peter is the formula spoken at papal coronations and the words have long been associated with arguments for papal authority. Interestingly Pope Alexander VI was ordained into the papal office the month prior to this printing on 11 August 1492. Corrected editions of the Bible abounded during the Renaissance a period of intense and progressive scholarship and increasing publishing opportunities; this edition is distinctly associated with Franciscan study and use and made revolutionary efforts to organize the Bible with Brunos new contents list. The new pocket-sized Bible was an easier and more affordable format to disseminate Scripture. Travelling clergy would have especially benefitted from its portability. This copy interesting for its somewhat heavy Latin marginalia dating closely to the period of the printing; the eager reader names biblical persons of interest and contemplates their genealogical relationships throughout.
