Eugenics Genetics and the Family; together with Eugenics in Race and State.

1923Best.-Nr. 182347Baltimore: Williams & Wilkins Company 1923. Eugenics grows in America First editions of both volumes of the papers from the second international eugenics congress; from the library of the American Eugenics Society with their stamp to the front free endpapers. The three international eugenics congresses were the central forum for the worldwide eugenics movement to share papers and propose policies. Britain hosted the first congress in 1912 at the University of London. The second congress took place at the American Museum of Natural History in New York in September 1921. Henry Fairfield Osborn presided Alexander Graham Bell was the honorary president and the key guest speaker was Leonard Darwin the son of Charles who advocated measures to eliminate the unfit. The third congress met in 1932 at the same venue. The American Eugenics Society was founded in 1922 in the aftermath of the second congress and only dissolved in 2019. It was the main American body promoting eugenics in the 1920s during which eugenic policies were introduced in numerous American states and immigration quotas were set to limit immigration from outside western and northern Europe. The papers of the congress show the breadth of the movement which was at the forefront of scientific research at the time. Some are reputable studies of heredity traits but most include panic-stricken notions of national decline due to the increase of undesired races and peoples:. The papers include "Some Notes on the Jewish problem" "Negro-White Intermixture and Intermarriage" and "The War from the Eugenic point of view". 2 vols octavo. With frontispieces and 45 plates. Original blue cloth spines lettered in gilt. Faint shadow of removed label to spines. Light rubbing and very light wear at extremities contents clean and unmarked save for trivial notations on contents pages. A very good copy. hardcover

Expositio in Cantica Canticorum saeculi octavi

Best.-Nr. 70516Brepols 2026. Hardback Pages: cxxviii 225 Size:155 x 245 mm Illustrations:3 b/w 139 tables b/w. Languages: Latin Italian. ISBN 9782503618845. Summary This volume provides the editio princeps of a protocarolingian anonymous commentary on the Song of Songs which survived in two manuscripts dated between the eighth and the ninth century; an epitome is also transmitted by a single manuscript dated two centuries later. Although the commentary's geographical origin is not clear the author draws his exegetical themes from many different sources such as Pope Gregory I the Iberian Gregory of Elvira Bede and above all Apponius whose work is rarely used by subsequent authors due to its length and complexity. Both because of the use of these different sources and the author's lack of dexterity in organizing such a multiplicity of subjects into a unitary exposition the commentary's syntax is wanting resulting in a fragmentary discourse. Nevertheless this commentary provides the scholarly community with a significant example of the "ordinary" exegetes' activity and their independence from their sources' original form. The edition of this work also makes a remarkable contribution to the understanding of the early medieval exegetical tradition on the Song of Songs since it allows us to go beyond the mere knowledge of the genre's masterpieces. Il volume presenta l'edizione critica di un commento anonimo al Cantico dei Cantici del periodo protocarolingio trasmesso nella sua versione completa da due manoscritti prodotti tra l'ottavo e il nono secolo e in forma di epitome in un codice dell'undicesimo secolo. Benché l'origine geografica del commento non sia del tutto certa è chiaro però che l'autore recupera i temi esegetici da varie fonti tra cui l'iberico Gregorio d'Elvira Gregorio Magno Beda e soprattutto Apponio il cui commento al Cantico è raramente utilizzato a causa della sua complessità e lunghezza. L'uso di fonti così diverse unito alla limitata capacità dell'autore di organizzarle in un'esposizione unitaria produce una sintassi e un discorso frammentati. Tuttavia questo commento è un esempio prezioso per comprendere l'attività di un esegeta "ordinario" e per coglierne l'indipendenza dalla forma originale delle fonti. L'edizione di tale opera costituisce anche un notevole contributo per la comprensione della diffusione della tradizione esegetica del Cantico dei Cantici in quanto permette di andare oltre la mera conoscenza delle opere fondative del genere.
