Best.-Nr. 9137Numerous fine paintings & diagrams throughout using blue green red gray yellow much gold silver & flesh-colored pigments. Siddham script in several places. Two scrolls 185 x 17660 mm.; 175 x 9210 mm. each with gold-speckled inner endpapers at front dark blue paper on outsides. At the end of the first scroll a note states these texts were first written in 1192 Kenkyū 建久 3 & copied on an auspicious day in the 12th month of Genna 元和 5 this part of Genna 5 corresponds to 1620; the second scroll is also dated at end “the 12th month of Genna 5.” These two scrolls are related to a kind of Daoist-influenced star worship that was associated with esoteric Buddhism. This practice became popular within the Japanese aristocracy in the medieval period. It drew on several strands of thought imported from China that were synthesized in Japanese religious practice. Buddhism as it appeared when imported to China from India and Central Asia in the first millennium CE carried with it astronomical and astrological knowledge including an identification of the planets and their association with the calendar e.g. the association between the planets and the days of the week still apparent in the modern Japanese names for them. In China this knowledge became influenced by Daoism exemplified for example by the worship of the stars of the Big Dipper Ch.: beidou J.: hokuto 北斗. In medieval Japan star worship under the auspices of esoteric Shingon and Tendai Buddhism became popular and highly ritualized. One star-related ritual expressed the worship of an individual’s birth and year stars. During these rituals offerings were made to a star or a constellation to obtain fortune or longevity. Such rituals are described in these two scrolls. Mandala dhÄraṇī and mudrÄ were important features of ritualized star worship and the three of them are present in the first scroll. There is a fine series of 158 flesh-toned paintings of mudrÄ gestures of the hand depicted and labeled. MudrÄ were hand and arm gestures made during the course of ritual practice or depicted in images of buddhas bodhisttvas tantric deities and other Buddhist images. With the development of Mahayana and Vajrayana iconography the number of mudrÄ proliferated and reaching the hundreds. DhÄraṇī were incantations and are presented as lists of syllables written in the Indic Siddham script. There is also a diagram a mandala depicting the Big Dipper the legends reference the earthly branches each listed as either yin or yang. The second scroll includes among other things a list of the Seven Planets sun moon and the planets of the solar system minus Neptune and Pluto and associated Buddhist deities stars in the constellation of the Big Dipper and years in the sexagenary calendrical cycle. Through this list an individual’s personal star can be determined. Further into the scroll the layout of the altar featuring e.g. silver coins food offerings and candles and the conduct of the rituals for various kinds of worship are described and illustrated in a series of scenes. Ritual objects like mandalas with Siddham characters are depicted as well. The instructions for the conduct of these rituals include the performance of combinations of mudrÄ and dhÄraṇī associated with the mystery of the body and the mystery of speech respectively. In addition to the importance of the Big Dipper the Daoist influence on these scrolls is evident in its mention of deities such as the Dongyue emperor and Huang Shigong. Very good preserved in a modern box. Some worming carefully repaired. unknown

Best.-Nr. 9786588407073PEQUENA ZAHAR. new. Um poema visual dedicado multiplicidade de indiv�duos que povoam nosso planeta sem limitaes de cores comportamentos ou formas de vestir. Nossa identidade no se resume a duas palavras. Quem somos e quem sentimos que somos so perguntas que no encontram resposta num mundo em preto e branco e sim na grande variedade de tons e possibilidades que existem. Com um registro po�tico baseado em rimas e paralelismos Joana Estrela trabalha o tema de forma aparentemente simples questionando os r�tulos e as etiquetas redutoras que frequentemente se apoiam em gneros aos quais costumamos associar cores comportamentos vestu�rio gosto e at� personalidades espec�ficas. Ao falar sobre pluralidade e diversidade a autora estimula o respeito e a empatia por todos numa linguagem que combina humor e sensibilidade. Livro indicado para leitores a partir de 3 anos.

Aprendi com ela o que � ser um ator-MC poetryslam e esse modo falado abri os olhos para outras concep��es de performance e quase-teatro. Acompanhei sua busca de conhecimentos o empenho em seguir achados propostas e teorias. Como este O 'Teatro Hip-Hop' nos diz o m�todo � para ela a aprendizagem instant�nea e a reflex�o acumulada.

O microfone aberto � o objeto mediador mais que isso interferente nas a��es do criar nas po�ticas da inven��o.

Reads: ‘Dear Miss Cond / Your nice letter was mislaid in my flitting from the Whitehall to the Victoria Palace hence the delay in acknowledging it. / Many thanks for your good wishes / Sincerely / Greer Garson.’ Eileen Cond was an enthusiastic autograph collector.

Best.-Nr. 24697ALS: 17 August 1944; 27 Oakington Manor Drive Wembley. TLS: 31 October 1962; 807 Howard House Dolphin Square London SW1. See her Guardian obituary by Ronald Bergan ‘Britain's original “It” girl who rose from shop assistant to movie star’ 13 September 1999. Both items in good condition lightly aged and folded for postage. Both letters with good content. Eileen Margaret Cond 1911-1984 of Honiton was an enthusiastic autograph collector and she had an ability to draw a more than perfunctory response from her targets. ONE 1944 ALS: 2pp 8vo. Addressed to ‘Dear Miss Cond’ and signed ‘Chili Bouchier’. Begins: ‘Just a wee line to thank you so much for your nice Xmas card which was forwarded to me in Egypt. where she had been touring with ENSA / I am home now safe & sound and fortunately for me on tour with a new play “Lady - Be Careful” so I can escape the flying bombs without feeling too guilty of running away from their horror.’ Having a ‘week out’ before playing Bath ‘we decided to spend our week here and enjoy the antiquities’. She ‘thoroughly enjoyed’ her ‘trip out East and I think it was appreciated by the “boys.”’ With reference to the war she feels things look ‘grand all round now’. She hopes Cond is well and making her ‘post-war plans. It’s fun to do although they may all go wrong - as all plans persistently do. At least that is my experience.’ TWO 1962 TLS. 1p 4to. Twenty-eight single-spaced lines. Addressed to ‘My Dear Eileen’ and signed ‘Chili’. She has written a letter of protest against theatre closures to the Daily Express and ‘Yes the Theatre Royal Portsmouth was one of the casualties I had in mind’. I had another letter from someone from your district bewailing the apathy of the majority of people about the closing of the theatre.’ She doesn’t feel very hopeful: ‘There doesn’t seem to be much one can do about it except wait for the time when people will be sick of staying at home and watching the “goggle-box”. But with new attractions like Telstar and colour TV it doesn’t look as if that time will ever come.’ Her letter has ‘brought a tremendous response from the public’ and she has been ‘deeply moved to learn how many unknown friends I have.’ Despite the ‘stunned silence at the audacity of an artist to raise a voice in protest’ she will soon be working again. She makes a suggestion regarding those who wish to join her. She expresses the ‘happiness and relaxation’ she finds in Spain before turning to her autobiography: ‘The book is now finished having re-written it once more and I just don’t know which publisher to send it to as it is all a bit peculiar. It has to be as my life has been. Not at all like anyone elses.’ She is certain she will gain ‘an inspiration’ regarding the publisher ‘and in the meantime I have high hopes of placing a musical with a Spanish background which I have also written during the quiet times’. Bouchier did not publish an autobiography until 1996 'Shooting Star'. The renewed interest resulted in an appearance on 'Desert Island Discs' and an episode of 'This is Your Life'.
