Notes: Presentation copy signed and dated by the translator Casey A. Wood. Ex. Libris Casey A. Wood. Our example includes letters addressed to Dr. Casey A. Wood.

1702Best.-Nr. 49254London: J. Taylor 1702. First Latin edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Octavo. 16 xv 1 439 1pp. Woodcut printer's device at title; additional half-title precedes main work; annotations; index and errata. Contemporary calf paneled in blind; spine elaborately tooled in gilt morocco lettering piece; dentelles; edges sprinkled in red. Mild wear at extremities; bookplate and old shelf marks at pastedown and endleaf; else an attractive copy with fine crisp text. Collation: 8 A-2E8 2F4 = 236 leaves. First Latin edition of this controversial work by Nektarios 1602/05-1676/85 the Greek Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem from 1661 to 1669 dedicated to Thomas Tenison the archbishop of Canterbury and King William III. Fabricius notes that Nektarios was born in Crete and educated at Athens under Theophilus Corydales. He was a strict partisan of Greek orthodoxy and endorsed the Confession of Mogilas in 1662. “During his patriarchate the Romish emissaries were very active in endeavoring to persuade the Greek Christians of Palestine… to unite with the Church of Rome; among them a Franciscan named Peter was especially active in distributing five tracts in defense of the papal authority. These tracts Nectarius answered by the publication of another entitled Peri tes arches tou Papa antirresis - On the Beginning of the Pope Antichrist which is a fair refutation of the five principles laid down in the Roman Catholic tracts” McClintock & Strong Cyclopedia 6:914. This refutation first appeared at Yassy in 1681 or 1682 and was later translated into the present Latin version by the eminent scholar and Huguenot refugee to England Pierre Allix 1641-1717. The conclusion of the text notes “Excusus per Metrophanem Hieromonachum Giazi Yassy in Moldavia A. MDCLXXII” -- the year of the Synod of Jerusalem which represented the climax of the Orthodox reaction against the heresies of Cyril Lucaris. Following the main text are two brief discussions of the Jesuits pp.385-406: De Jesuitis On the Jesuits; De Jesuita qui in Orientales nugas es mendacia effugiit On the Jesuits Who Spewed Falsehoods upon the Easterners.

1885Best.-Nr. 141131885. Jerusalem Holy Land Jaffa Bonfils Félix Adrien. Jerusalem views c. 1880s document the circulation of commercially produced photographic imagery of the Holy Land within late nineteenth century European and American visual culture supporting research into Ottoman Palestine early mass tourism and the construction of sacred geography through photography. Produced by one of the first large-scale commercial photographers operating in the Middle East the images establish how Jerusalem was framed for external audiences through carefully composed views of religious monuments fortified architecture and active urban spaces. The photographs provide direct visual evidence of the city prior to twentieth century political transformation with particular emphasis on Christian pilgrimage sites Islamic architectural presence and everyday economic activity occurring alongside monumental structures. Three original albumen photographs each approximately 11 x 8.5 inches unmounted depicting distinct but related views of Jerusalem. One image captioned "255 Eglise Ste-Anne et vue generale de Jerusalem" presents St. Anne's Church within a wider panoramic view of the المدينة combining ecclesiastical architecture with dense urban settlement. A second photograph shows the fortress near the Jaffa Gate with a foreground market scene including carts animals and clustered goods documenting commercial exchange occurring directly adjacent to the city's defensive walls. The third image depicts the Golden Gate emphasizing masonry detail and the monumental scale of Jerusalem's eastern wall a site of longstanding religious significance in Jewish and Islamic traditions. Each photograph bears the characteristic compositional clarity and captioning style associated with Bonfils' studio production. Produced during the final decades of Ottoman administration these photographs align with the expansion of photographic tourism and the increased circulation of Holy Land imagery among European and American audiences seeking visual access to biblical and historical sites. Bonfils' work functioned within a broader commercial network supplying images to travelers scholars and institutions shaping how Jerusalem was documented interpreted and disseminated internationally. Light surface wear minor tonal variation and occasional creasing consistent with albumen prints of the period; overall very good condition. Together the group provides a cohesive visual record of Jerusalem's architectural religious and commercial landscape at a moment when photography played a central role in defining the city's global historical image. unknown
