1785Best.-Nr. 44970Paris Moutard 1785. 4to. Extracted from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome X. Pp. 511-550 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Clean and fine. First appearance of this importent paper by the "greatest geometer of the century" in which he solves some main problems in coordinate geometry especially he introduced the "distant formula" for three dimensions years before it was used by Lagrange. He laid the foundation of a completely new branch of mathematics known as descriptive geometry. The paper was delivered already in 1771 but not published until 1785. "His first important original work was "Memoire sur les développées les rayons de courbure et différents genres d inflexions des courbes á double courbure" He published an extract from it in June 1769 in the Journal encycyclop´matiques and in October 1770 he finished a more complete version that he read before the Academie des Sciences in August 1771; the latter however was not published until 1785 Mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés á ’Academic par divers scavanns. By then some of the most important ideas in the memoir no longer seemed so original because Monge had employed them in other works published in the intervening years. Nevertheless this memoir is of exceptional interest for it presents most of the new conceptions that Monge developed in his later works as well as his very personal method of exposition which combined pure geometry analytic geometry and infinitesimal calculus."DSB. unknown

Very Good. 135 pp. : chiefly illustrations some in color ; numerous photographs ; 35 cm. ; OCLC: 11766799 ; LC: ND2073.6.Z8 ; a rare collection of action photographs ceramics and calligraphic paintings and lithographs executed by Jung Kwang the Mad Monk ; " The present volume is an attempt to present a partial retrospective of his paintings including the latest work which has expanded into the use of lithographs.In 1980-81 he took an extended trip his first to the U.S. and Europe giving demonstrations of his painting style."--preface ; "Jung Kwang the painter has his artistic roots firmly placed within a style of art that was nourished by the monastic communities of East Asia. Using only the brush and ink monks made their art using rapid and yet disciplined brush strokes. The paintings only took seconds to complete; they could not be retouched or corrected; each was finished when the brush left the paper. As might be imagined this style was particularly favored by the Zen schools. The paintings were used as a test for the state of enlightenment of the painter.Jung Kwang began to separate his art from this traditional school and with that separation came many questions about the value of his work. The controversies of his art continue to the present.Having introduced all sorts of new subjects into his paintings: bulls guardian figures roosters fish and more shocking penises on all the animals and even coming out of the head of Dharma it is little wonder that the traditionalists were horrified."--Introduction ; Jung Kwang's reputation as "The Mad Monk" is here fully represented by the use of color non-traditional brushes and pens even to the shocking photographs of him using his penis as th e brush on a series of paintings! ; he was ordained a monk in the Chongye Buddhist Order at Tong-do Monastery near Pusan in 1962 and practiced meditation under direction of Master Kuha and was later a member of the Chongye National Council as its art consultant but was then expelled in 1983 presumably for his movement away from traditional forms ; nonetheless there are many who would consider the paintings in this book enlightened visual Zen koans of a sublime nature ; SIGNED presentation by Jung Kwang from 1986 on the front ep ; folio bound in color pictorial stiff paper wrappers ; some wear but otherwise VG.

1890Best.-Nr. 516Ethiopia: Unknown 1890. First edition. Hand-made: Hand-tooled red-brown leather over wood boards. Good/`. Ethiopian Monk. Pocket-sized Ethiopian Coptic Christian Manuscript Book of the Cross. Handmade handwritten and hand-painted on vellum. This is a small pocket-sized 4 1/2 inches x 3 5/8 inches 38-page manuscript of the Ethiopian Book of the Cross. In Ethiopia the Cross is not only a Christian symbol but also a sacred matrix in religious life embedded in rituals art and identity. The Book of the Cross reflects this deep tradition showing how the Cross is celebrated in liturgy devotion and theological reflection. It was hand-made by a rural/provincial Ethiopian monk circa late 1700s to mid-1800s. The ink materials used are organic and local as access to foreign materials was more limited than in larger cities closer to trade routes. It is handwritten entirely in the classical Semitic liturgical language Ge'ez on vellum and bound in blind-tooled goatskin or sheepskin tightly stretched over wooden boards. ABOUT THE WORK The Book of the Cross is a devotional material comprised of the following elements: 1 Honors the Cross of Christ as the central symbol of salvation. 2 Contains hymns təwÄb prayers and readings that recount the Passion Resurrection and the veneration of the Cross. 3 Is used in worship to focus the faithful on the theological meaning of the Cross - the 'made one' Tewahedo unity of Christ's divine and human natures. 4 Often includes narratives and psalms that parallel the biblical Passion accounts but are framed in the Ethiopian liturgical tradition. It contains Cross hymns təwÄb praising the Cross and the Passion of Christ; prayers for the faithful especially during Timkat and other feasts; scriptural readings from the Old and New Testaments that focus on the Cross e.g. Psalms the Passion narratives in the Gospels; traditional narratives of the veneration of the Cross in Ethiopian history and tradition and liturgical instructions for how the Cross is venerated in the church. The Ge'ez script is written in strokes quickly executed in a more flowing rounded style than the rigidly aligned and exacting calligraphy associated with scribal monks in more structured urban environments particularly during the 18th century Gandarian style. Elongated razor-sharp geometric strokes were demanded by early to mid-18th-century imperial scriptoriums. The alternating black and red ink red being used for sacred names or section headers utilizes traditional organic soot or another local carbon source for the black ink and local organic sources like red‑colored leaves bark and roots for the red ink. The latter is evident by the fading of the antique and environmentally exposed red ink to a rust-brown color over time. Imported raw materials like cinnabar and vermillion introduced along trade routes in Eastern Africa were also used to make red ink at the time of this manuscript's creation but they do not fade in the same way as organic sources instead remaining a red or red-orange hue when naturally aged. ELEMENTS OF THE MANUSCRIPT The prayer book is bound in a dark red-brown goatskin or sheepskin the heavy dye job obscures the grain size and pattern but it looks to be sheep stretched tightly over wooden boards with intricate tooling in blind framing side-by-side Ethiopian crosses - a characteristic design for a Book of the Cross manuscript. Interlaced within the text are four full-page miniatures in groupings of two that are painted in a more rustic style by an amateur artist more typical of a small village with limited resources versus by a more practiced hand found in large Ethiopian monasteries or affluent cities. In order of appearance: 1. Jesus Carrying the True Cross Along the Via Dolorosa During the Passion. This illustration serves as the visual centerpiece of the prayer cycle and is the opening page to the manuscript. Jesus is depicted with a halo atserga dressed in traditional striped garments physically carrying the massive wooden cross on His shoulder. To the right stands Simon of Cyrene who was compelled by the Roman soldiers to help carry the cross. The figure on the left represents either a disciple watching in mourning or one of the Roman guards leading the procession. The painting follows a rural or provincial derivative of Ethiopian iconographic art. Key features include the large stylized almond-shaped eyes thick bold black outlines simple flat color planes using earth-tone reds yellows and blues and the lack of three-dimensional perspective. 2. Christ Teaching or Delivering a Decree. The illustration emphasizes the divine authority of Christ's word seamlessly connecting to the theological themes of the surrounding text. The text on the scroll Jesus is carrying translates to 'In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.' 3. The Crucifixion. As the foundational visual of this Haza Mesqel Book of the Cross manuscript this scene serves as the ultimate theological anchor for the surrounding prayers and praises. On the left side of the painting The Virgin Mary Maryam is shown wrapped in a dark blue-grey mantle holding her hands up to her face in a traditional posture of deep mourning and weeping. On the right Saint John the Evangelist is depicted similarly shrouded in a red mantle mirroring Mary's grief-stricken gesture as he witnesses the event. 4. Christ in Majesty Offering a Blessing. This illumination acts as a celebratory closing or protective visual within your Haza Mesqel Book of the Cross manuscript emphasizing Christ's eternal authority and power after the Resurrection. HOW THIS MANUSCRIPT WAS MADE Ge'ez calligraphy executed in natural local-based black and red ink with a reed pen in double columns and rubricated throughout adorns hand-made parchment made from goatskin or sheepskin. The large vellum sheets in this manuscript have been cut in half horizontally to fit inside this diminutive pocket-sized binding. The leaves were not placed back in their original order but rather comprise a mix of prayers and liturgy from the Book of the Cross. The binding was simply sewn together and does not use a link chain stitch for the quires as is typically found. The wooden boards are made from local trees typically olive or wanza. The leather appears to be sheepskin was tanned dyed and treated and stretched tightly over the wooden boards and then intricately tooled in blind. HISTORY OF ETHIOPIAN COPTIC MANUSCRIPTS IN GE'EZ Ethiopian Handwritten Coptic Ge'ez Bibles and liturgical texts were produced as early as the fourteenth century until the early 20th century throughout Ethiopia the first country to become an independent African nation. Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia in the 4th century when Syrian missionaries first translated the Bible into Ge'ez the language of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. The surviving body of Ge'ez literature is composed almost entirely of Christian liturgy as education was exclusively the responsibility of priests and monks. The bibles produced typically contain the gospels of the New Testament recounting the life of Jesus of Nazareth and the foundation of the Christian. The Ethiopian Bible contains a significantly larger canon of books than Western Bibles including texts like the Book of Enoch and the Book of Jubilees which are often found in its broader canon. It is considered one of the oldest and most complete Bibles containing more than 80 books compared to the 66 in the Protestant canon. The world's earliest illustrated Christian book is the Garima Gospels written in Ge'ez found in a remote Ethiopian monastery. It is named after a monk who arrived in Ethiopia in the 5th century and is beautifully illustrated. For perspective it predates the first King James Bible by about 1200 years. CONDITION REPORT Fair by book standards but this is a hand-made Ethiopian prayer manual used in religious ceremonies and kept in an open-air environment for over 150 years so it's hard to truly compare. Good by rural Ethiopian manuscript standards. Exterior and binding: Cracked hinges. Spine leather with a large vertical tear. The leather is hand-worn and soiled from generations of use. All edges blackened with soot and sun-exposure. Interior: The vellum pages are soiled with dust and soot from candles and incense burners. There are multiple water dampening stains smudges finger soiling some old repairs made from sinew and natural yellowing and shrinking of the vellum both with age and exposure to the natural environment. The first leaf with an old repair to a tear main image and second painting shown. One leaf has a quarter-sized hole 1" x 1" in the middle of the text. There is loss of letters and words from where leaves were sliced in half. All in all a Book of the Cross broken down to a more manageable pocket-size with four full-page paintings. This is not a book carefully shelved on a bookcase in an English manor for the past 150 years. Rather it is a sturdily made religious manuscript heavily used in a rural agrarian setting where it was likely stored outside at times exposed to the elements. It has seen a lot of 'love' and 'honest wear.' . Unknown unknown
