1930ref. 75576Los Angeles: N.p. 1930-1934. Scrapbook filled with letters cards printed announcements photographs and invitations put together by Irma Cleveland Matron of the Triangle Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star/ Original string-tied oblong album of buff boards with a laid down color illustration. The Order of the Eastern Star is a Masonic appendant body open to both men and women. It was established in 1850 172 years ago by lawyer and educator Rob Morris a noted Freemason and adopted and approved as an appendant body of the Masonic Fraternity in 1873. The order is based on some teachings from the Bible and is open to people of all religious beliefs. It has approximately 10000 chapters in twenty countries and approximately 500000 members under its General Grand Chapter. It is still going strong.Members of the Order of the Eastern Star are aged 18 and older; men must be Master Masons and women must have specific relationships with Masons. Originally a woman would have to be the daughter widow wife sister or mother of a Master Mason. The Order now allows other relatives as well as allowing Job's Daughters Rainbow Girls Members of the Organization of Triangles NY only and members of the Constellation of Junior Stars NY only to become members when of age. Irma Cleveland and her husband Harry to a lesser extent was very active in this organization. Basically this album covers 1931 to 1933 but there are at least 100 printed items. Apparently she rose to the rank of Matron highest rank possible in her Lodge of the Order of the Eastern Star; Triangle Lodge No. 548 in Venice California. But she was a busy gal as there are printed materials from Lodges all over Southern California: Coronado Santa Monica Palms Culver City Beverly Hills Ocean Park Long Beach and the Grand Lodge. There is an interesting original photograph of initiates going through the ceremony at the Long Beach Lodge. It is not clear what they are wearing but some kind of Greenman costume. Basically the Order of the Eastern Star was a way for married couples to become Freemasons together as the Scottish Rite etc. was just for men. N.p. hardcover

Calvete de Estrella permaneceu em Antuérpia quando Filipe regressou a Espanha tendo aí mandado imprimir o seu livro. Trata-se de um excelente trabalho de produção de livros que antecipa o papel que Antuérpia viria a desempenhar como principal centro de impressão e edição da Europa.EN In folio. 27x19 cm. 8 335 19 folios.Contemporary lexible parchment binding with handwritten title on the spine and traces of latches on the boards and with 6 fragments of a 16th century manuscript reinforcing the spine of the bookblock.Illustrated with the coat of arms of Charles V in woodcut on the title page another full-page woodcut on the back of the last preliminary folio containing a triumphal arch erected in Ghent for Philip"s entry the printer"s mark of Nutius at the end and dozens of decorated initials in 4 series.Copy with an initial marginal handwritten note and occasional later notes and marks mostly in pencil.

References to King João II and Portugal"s presence in Antwerp and Flanders can be found on folios 318; 235 and 302.This work fits in with the transfer of powers abdication and transfer of Emperor Charles V. In the last years of his Imperial function the following events occurred:In 1548 the document proposed by the Emperor - the Interin of Augsburg - and it was not accepted by Protestants nor by the Pope. The city of Magdeburg the centre of the Protestant resistance is banished from the Empire. In 1552 Maurice of Saxony responsible for implementing the decree armed secretly and surprised the Emperor. Defeat of Charles V in Innsbruck. The Emperor and the Protestant Princes sign the Treaty of Nassau. In the years 1552-1556 there was a war between Charles V and Henry II of France who had occupied Metz Toul and Verdun. In 1553 Maurice of Saxony defeated Albert Marquis of Brandenburg-Culmach in Sievershausen but was mortally wounded. In 1554 there was a signature of the Treaty of Crépy. In 1555 occurs the violent suppression of anti Calvinist revolt in Geneva. The city has become a refuge center for English and French Protestants and a radiation point of the Calvinist doctrine. In 1555 was signed the Peace of Augsburg which recognizes the Protestants freedom of worship and property. The territorial princes and free cities that had accepted the Augsburg Confession had now freedom of worship the right to introduce the Reformation in their territory jus reformandi and equal rights of Catholic states. In 1556 Charles V signed the Peace with Henry II of France. In the same year occurred the the abdication of Charles V in Brussels effective in 1558. Charles V abdicated in favour of his son Philip II the sovereignty of the Netherlands Castile Leon Aragon and Catalonia Navarre Naples Sardinia Sicily the Duchy of Milan and the Indies. The imperial role and the possessions of the Habsburgs were delivered to his brother Ferdinand I. Charles lived his last years in the monastery of Yuste in Spain and died there in 1558.The Aragon humanist scholar Juan Cristóbal Calvete de Estrella ca. 1510/20-1593 served in the Spanish court of Charles V who appointed him tutor to Prince Philip 1527-1598 in 1541. He accompanied Philip on these travels so that his book forms an essential primary source for both the life and personality of the future King Philip II who was to bring Spain its golden age and its greatest power and wealth and for the early beginnings of his relations with the Netherlands which was to revolt against the King bring about Spain"s fall from power and develop its own golden age as an independent state. Calvete de Estrella remained in Antwerp when Philip returned to Spain having his book printed there. It is an excellent piece of book production anticipating the role Antwerp was to play as Europe"s leading centre of printing and publishing.Referências/References:Adams C264;Belg.
