1951réf. List3663New York: Handy Brothers Music Co. Inc 1951. Quarto sheet music single folded leaf making 4 pp. Light toning to margins else near fine. 9 x 12 inches. “Sample Copy” stamped on cover. Inscribed and signed by W. C. Handy on the front cover to Miss Sybil Gregory dated June 16 1951 the year of publication. Near Fine. An uncommon Handy Brothers Music Co. publication issued late in the career of W. C. Handy 1873–1958. The song is credited to Lazarus A. Aaronson a little-documented composer whose work here was published in homage to Handy. The present copy bears Handy’s contemporary inscription: “To Miss Sybil Gregory — W. C. Handy — 6-16-1951.” Little information survives regarding Gregory suggesting a personal acquaintance or admirer within Handy’s musical circle. Signed publications from the Handy Brothers imprint are uncommon and provide a tangible association with one of the most influential figures in the history of American blues.

1535réf. ST19567-017Paris: Jean Bignan apud Ambroise Girault 1535. 163 x 108 mm. 6 1/2 x 4 1/4". 68 pp. 5 leaves.Edited by Charles Estienne. Old 17th century stiff vellum flat spine title in ink. Front pastedown with book plate of the Macclesfield South Library first two leaves with very small Macclesfield embossed stamp. Colas USTC 204573. See Renouard "Estienne" p. 42 #16. Vellum on rear cover roughened small water spot to front cover but the binding entirely sound and quite fresh and clean internally. Abridged and edited for schoolchildren by the scholar physician and printer Charles Estienne this is a treatise on the customary dress and fashions in ancient Rome. It is among the best-known works of the distinguished humanist and diplomat Lazare de Baïf 1485-1547 who also produced respected translations of the Greek dramatists and published treatises on other aspects of ancient life including vases and ships. Charles Estienne 1504 or 1505-64 for a time served as tutor to Baïf's son Jean Antoine who became a famous poet. Charles' brother Robert also published this title in 1535 but Renouard believes Girault's printing might have come first. Colas gives priority to the Estienne press. Because Girault's printing contains additions and corrections that don't appear in Robert's edition it seems more likely that this was the later printing if only by a matter of weeks. The Girault edition is uncommon in the marketplace. The provenance is significant here as our volume was part of the great library of the earls of Macclesfield which was sold in 12 sales at Sotheby's from 16 March 2004 to 2 October 2008 for some £22 million approximately $40 million at the time. The library was dispersed when the 9th Earl Macclesfield Richard Timothy George Mansfield Parker b. 1943 who was described by the "Independent" as leading an "unconventional lifestyle" was forced to leave his 14th century Shirburn Castle after a protracted family dispute. Called by the paper "a sleeping beauty" his crenellated home had a moat a drawbridge and at the time of the Earl's departure a repair bill of approximately £2.6 million. Despite the building's dilapidation the books in the very large library were distinguished for being uniformly well preserved were almost always in their original bindings and were a sensation at auction for more than four years.

Ich fragte meinen Mann soeben: "wie soll ich ihn denn anreden" und oben steht seine Antwort die meinem Herzen am meisten wohl thut. Gottlob sein Befinden ist derart dass er gestern zum ersten mal gewagt hat von 1/2 10 - bis Abends um 7 aufzubleiben d.h. angezogen auf dem Bett liegend aber doch wiederholt aufstehend und auch am Schreibtisch sitzend. Die Nacht war nach diesem Versuch nach 6 monatl. Krankenlager mit täglichem Fieber gut und auch heute Befinden u. Aussehen verhältnissmssig befriedigend. Das bisherige Kalte u. stürmische Wetter hat seine Genesung sehr gehindert. Heute ist milderes Regenwetter. Viell. kommt die Sonne heraus und mein geliebter vielgeprüfter unsäglich geduldiger Eheliebster kann wenigstens auf dem schönen Balkon sitzen. Wir hoffen auch den Seider wie sonst wenn auch in stiller Zweisamkeit begehen zu können. Für Ihr gütiges Anerbieten die Correctur am 2 Bd. besorgen zu wollen herzlichen Dank. Lazarus weiss was ein Oberrabbiner von Szegedin zu thun hat. followed by a sentence not legible . aber er wird Ihr Anerbieten gern annehmen wenn auch die Sache weit im Felde ist da die vergangenen 6 Monate für die Arbeit verloren waren. Wir senden Ihnen "Lazarus' Sprüche" seinen Vortrag "Was heisst" usw. - und kleines biographisches Fragment das mal Sie wie wenige Menschen interessieren wird. followed by a sentence not legible .
