He was one of the authors in the Modern Breakthrough movement in Danish art and literature. He was a socialist throughout his life and during the second world war moved to the Soviet Union and afterwards to Dresden in East Germany. Wikipedia After finishing he worked as a teacher in a Grundtvigian folk school until he became tubercular and went to Spain and Italy to convalesce. Thereafter he concentrated on writing. On his stay in Spain he wrote Soldage/ Days in the Sun. Nexø's first novels are in the decadent pessimistic manner common around the turn of the century. His mature authorship began with the four-volume Pelle the Conqueror 1906-1910 and from this time on Nexø devoted his writing to the awakening proletariat the existence of which had gone virtually unnoticed in Danish literature. The title figure of Nexø's other masterpiece the five-volume Ditte Child of Man 1917-1921 is Pelle's female counterpart who symbolizes the situation of the proletarian woman. Today Nexø is acknowledged as one of Denmark's finest realistic storytellers the only modern Danish writer who has an undisputed place in world literature. Encyclopedia hardcover

Capitals struck in red nine hand-drawn two- to four-line initials in red. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Boies Penrose II and with armorial morocco bookplate and paper library label of Eric Hyde Lord Sexton FSA. Goff J-22; BMC II 565; ISTC ij00022000. See Wetzer und Welte's Kirchenlexikon VI 1168. Rear cover with minor soiling first leaf tipped onto tab and with repairs along gutter first two leaves a bit soiled and foxed last two leaves with neat old repairs to lower fore-edge corner the text as a whole with slight softening because of exposure to damp. Not without obvious defects but still an incunable appealing for its content rarity and provenance as well as for its generous margins and unworn binding. One of just three copies in North America located by ISTC this is the extremely rare Blaubeuren edition of a work that offers guidance on dealing with ghostly apparitions a topic not often dealt with in incunabular printing. "On Souls Stripped of their Bodies or On the Apparitions and Receptacles of Souls" was written in the late 1450s in response to a plea for advice from a Franciscan monastery in Leipzig that was experiencing what appeared to be supernatural disturbances instigated by a ghost or demon. A Carthusian prior who also served as rector and professor of canon law at the University of Erfurt Jacobus de Clusa also known as Jacob of Jüterbogk or Jacob of Paradiso 1381-1465 was known for his numerous writings on moral theology. First issued in 1475 in German and in Latin the present response to the concerned Franciscans became the most widely read of his works. According to Wetzer & Welte Jacobus considers in the book "such apparitions to be quite possible particularly in places where the deceased had sinned as they may hope to be released from Purgatory sooner through the intercession of surviving relatives or friends. Consequently he offers advice to the latter on this matter. 'If souls ask for intercession' he says 'it should be granted but one must not give way to idle fantasies.' He identifies the most effective means of aid as: Masses almsgiving prayers fasting and good works. In this context he discusses the state of the soul after death in a clear and illuminating manner. 'Immediately after death' he states 'the particular judgment takes place at the very spot where death occurred; for God is everywhere.' He designates four places to which departed souls may go: a. the Empyrean Heaven; b. the underworld "infernus sub terra"; c. Limbo of the Infants "limbus puerorum"; d. Purgatory. In his view escaping Purgatory entirely is very difficult." This open discussion of what happens to the soul after death and the possibility of the existence of ghosts was unsurprisingly appealing to a wide audience particularly as it came from a respected theologian. ISTC indicates that ours is the second incunabular edition following the first printing in Esslingen ca. 1474--all early printings are now uncommon in commerce. This is one of 24 works issued between 1473 and 1478 by Conrad Mancz the only 15th century printer in Blaubeuren a small city near Ulm. Jacobus de Clusa was the author of three of these publications the other two being books of sermons. Our copy was owned by Philadelphia bibliophile Boies Penrose II 1902-76 before its acquisition by Eric Hyde Lord Sexton 1902-80 an avid collector of early printing who amassed a library of incunabula from 114 different printing locations. This volume sold at his 1981 sale at Christie's for $2200. ISTC identifies the Sexton copy as one of three in North America the others being at the Huntington and the Beinecke. Searches of RBH and ABSA find just one other copy of the Blaubeuren edition at auction since 1928 that one appearing at Doerling in 1981 where it fetched 6500 Deutsche marks $2879.

WRITTEN ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE VOLUME: "De astrolog: divinatrice. Erasti.Disputation. / De medicina Paracelsi.Pars I." VERY RARE. First edition. THOMAS ERASTUS' DISTPUTATIONS CONCERNING ASTROLOGY AND THE NEW MEDICINE OF PARACELSUS. First Editions. bound with: DISPUTATIONUM DE MEDICINA NOVA PHILIPPI PARACELSI PARS PRIMA: IN QUA QUAE DE REMEDIIS SUPERSTITIOSIS & MAGICIS CURATIONIBUS ILLE PRODIDIT PRAECIPUE EXAMINANTUR. . . This is one of two books written by Erastus concerning divining astrology especially directed to certain persons named in the letter of Erastus in this case the primary being Christopher Stathmion whose last letter is dated from 1559. A second part was issued for the DE MEDICINA not present here. Thomas Erastus 1524-1583 Swiss Protestant theologian a physician whose original name was Luber Lieber or Liebler. As a follower of Huldreich Zwingli he supported the Swiss leader's view of the Lord's Supper at the conferences of Heidelberg 1560 and Maulbronn 1564 and in a book 1565. In spite of his vigorous opposition to the Calvinist doctrine Presbyterian Church discipline and government were introduced in Heidelberg in 1570. In 1574 Erastus was excommunicated by the Heidelberg consistory but a year later the edict was removed. . .The term Erastianism has come to represent approval of the dominance of civil authority in all punitive measures and by extension complete dominance of the state over the church though Erastus himself never held such an extreme view. Erastianism achieved its definitive expression in the Leviathan of Thomas Hobbes. / ". . .On his return from Italy to Germany Erastus was shocked at the extent to which men were addicted to vain predictions of astrologers and at the astrological restrictions under which medical practice labored. . .as an antidote to the superstition poisoning Germany he had made a translation from the Italian into German of the book of Savonarola against astrologers. This aroused some opposition among German astrologers and the aforesaid physician of Coburg Chrsitopher Stathmion had contended that Savonarola's work did not apply to divination or astrology which was based on natural causes. . .He adopts the usual theological position that divination is the work of demons. He joins Pico and Savonarola in their wholesale onslaught upon astrology to which he would appear to leave almost no field of activity. . .In the first volume of his Disputations Concerning the New Medicine of Paracelsus . . . Erastus has more to say against astrology. It holds first place in magic of which he utterly disapproves and is the offscouring of all impious arts. . .Erastus denied the possibility of natural magic. Nor would he admit that the Magi of ancient Persia had been priests or sages. Their magic too he regarded as diabolical. He showed himself even more incensed at Pomponnazzi for his favorable attitude toward magic in De incantationibus than at Paracelsus. . . Astrology he condemned as the foundation of all other magic arts. He censured Paracelsus for speaking approvingly of augury prodigies geomancy pyromancy and necromancy and for condoning the receiving from demons' remedies to be employed for good ends." Thorndike V5 pp. 652-660 FURTHER: Regarding the second tract the Disputations "concerning and against the new Paracelsan medicine composed by Erastus illustrate on the one hand his opposition to the medical views of Paracelsus and his followers and on the other hand his opposition to various occult arts and sciences most of which he accuses Paracelsus of countenancing." "Erastus commends Paracelsus for one thing namely his careful preparation of medicines and revival of distillation." p. 657.
