Paris A. Bosse 1667. 4pp. This scarce book is written in the form of a dialogue between Ariste an amateur who would like to build an architect a painter a "disciple" and the author himself. All the representatives of these different arts are asking for Bosse's advice. This allows Bosse to express once again his ideas regarding perspective in painting and architecture. Abraham Bosse who was born in Tours in 1602 is best known as an engraver but he was also the first professor of perspective at the newly founded Académie Royale from 1648 to 1661 when he was forced to leave due to disagreements with other Académicians. The two addresses that follow the book explain why in Bosse's own opinion he had been forced to leave his lob at the Académie and they also respond to comments made about Bosse by Félibien in the preface to the first part of the latter's Entretiens published a year earlier. c.f.

1863rif. 22448.01New York N.Y. 1863. No binding. Fine. New York Journal of Commerce. Newspaper. New York Journal of Commerce. New York N.Y. January 3 1863. 4 pp. 24 x 32 1/2 in. An early report of the Emancipation Proclamation where the editors describe Lincoln's bold move as ""a farce coming in after a long tragedy.Most of the people regard it as a very foolish piece of business."" Historical BackgroundThe Emancipation Proclamation was the single most important act of Lincoln's presidency. Its text reveals the major themes of the Civil War: the importance of slavery to the war effort on both sides; the courting of border states; Lincoln's hopes that the rebellious states could somehow be convinced to reenter the Union; the role of black soldiers; Constitutional and popular constraints on emancipation; the place of African Americans in the United States and America's place in a worldwide movement toward the abolition of slavery. In sounding the death knell for slavery and the ""Slave power"" the President took a decisive stand on the most contentious issue in American history and the United States joined other western nations in embracing a future of free labor.In addition to the moral impact of this ""sincerely believed.act of justice"" the Proclamation aided the Union cause tangibly and decisively. Because it focused on territory still held by the Confederacy only small numbers of slaves compared to the total slave population were immediately freed. However the Proclamation deprived the South of essential labor by giving all slaves a reason to escape to Union lines. Failing that it freed slaves immediately upon the Union Army's occupation of Confederate territory. The Proclamation also encouraged the enlistment of black soldiers who made a crucial contribution to the Union war effort. Moreover England and France who had already abolished slavery were restrained from supporting the Confederacy which would have been in their own economic interests. Lincoln summed up the Proclamation's importance in 1864: ""no human power can subdue this rebellion without using the Emancipation lever as I have done.""Nonetheless the editors of the Journal of Commerce disagreed and their opinion reflects the truly controversial nature of the act for many contemporary Americans.

This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

1928rif. 151527Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1928. First edition of this complex and revealing biography of one of the most popular Presidents of the United States. Octavo two volumes bound in three quarter morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands marbled endpapers top edge gilt illustrated tissue-guarded frontispiece to each volume. In near fine condition bookplate to each pastedown. Praised for his biographies of Chief Justice John Marshall and President Abraham Lincoln American historian and United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge has introduced the public to the realities of the lives of revered historical figures. Using analysis and thorough investigation Beveridge was able to contextualize the actions of America's sixteenth president with his traditions and influences in his four-volume biography 'Abraham Lincoln 1809-1858' published post-humously in 1928. His contributions to historical study cannot be understated and the American Historical Association's Beveridge Award exists to demonstrate as much. Houghton Mifflin Company unknown

1702rif. 251118002Amsterdam: George Gallet 1702. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Good. De Chertablon. SCARCE EMBLEMATA 1ST EDITION IN GERMAN ON PREPARING FOR DEATH TO REACH HEAVENLY SALVATION THROUGH JESUS TRANSLATED TITLE : Dying and inheriting that is the most beautiful preparation for death. Or the surest way to die and inherit salvation by contemplating the bitter suffering and death of our only and dearest Savior Jesus Christ Condition: GOOD COMPLETE ORIGINAL I see no other copy currently for sale and this title scarcely comes up for auction. Worldcat shows only a handful of copies held by institutions. ABOUT THE BOOK Published in 1702 by George Gallet in Amsterdam. First edition in German. Text primarily in Gothic. In contemporary full dark brown calf. Covers with blind stamped bordering and five raised spine bands. All edges speckled red. Quarto 10.5" x 8.5". Collated and complete: 22 108 pp. and all 42 copper engraved plates. A few embellished initials and chapter headers. Title page in red and black. Wide-margined thick pages. IMPORTANCE The book is an emblemata of the German Baroque literature movement of the seventeenth century through early eighteenth century. It is comprised mostly of plates of a man on his deathbed awaiting his fate on the recto of leaves and scripture from the Bible and description of the plate scene on the verso. The engravings by De Chertablon are striking in composition highly detailed and rich with religious and moral symbolism. Only two plates are actual 'Dance of Death' images the others show dynamic scenes surrounding the dying person. The remarkable thing about the depictions is that personified Death does not appear as usual as a skeleton or a mummy but as an angel. He often points to a painting in the background held by putti which depicts scenes from the Life and Passion of Christ. In a few striking scenes the path to salvation appears closed. In one instance the devil presents a list of all the sins the dying man has committed. Unlike the majority of scenes there are no angels pointing the way to salvation. The foreboding description for this scene says that faith and belief are not enough for heavenly salvation: you will be judged by your acts and deeds while on Earth. ABOUT THE AUTHOR Abraham a Sancta Clara born Johann Ulrich Megerle; 1644 - 1709 was an Augustinian friar. He gained a great reputation for pulpit eloquence early on. He was appointed imperial court preacher of Vienna in 1669. The people flocked to hear him attracted by the force and simplicity of his language the grotesqueness of his humor and the impartial severity with which he lashed the follies of all social classes. CONDITION REPORT GOOD for a 320-year-old book Exterior and binding: Some spine lean and front hinge cracked. Rear hinge starting to crack at its head. Binding and boards holding firm but strained in places. Heavily rubbed and worn leather that is dry and cracking and pitting. Has a beautiful texture of authentic aging. Spine label mostly perished. Multiple pen-tip sized wormholes on covers. Interior: Grubby endpapers. Toned pages. Mostly light to scattered foxing on the text block itself; heavier foxing along the gutters at times. Browning and dust along page margins. A single pen-tip sized wormhole throughout the entire text block gradually expanding to more same sized holes toward the last quartile of the book. The final leaf has about 12 pin-tipped sized holes. These holes slightly affect text and images. The plate impressions are strong and are visible on the verso and form an unintended but quite nice bordering of the descriptive text. No writing beyond a few scribbles in red on front pastedown. No marginalia or underlining. A few margin tears. All in all a beautifully illustrated scarce work of religious emblemata depicting deathbed scenes and the path to heavenly salvation.

1739rif. 27896Jessnitz Saxony-Anhalt: Bi-defus Yisrael bar Avraham 1739. Hardcover. Good. Four volumes folio published between 1739 and 1742. Woodcut printer's device at titles; woodcut endpieces in first volume. Hebrew text opens from right to left; leaf numbers in Hebrew characters. Hebrew chronograms yield Jewish dates of publication 5499-5502. Brown library buckram scuffed at extremities spines lettered in gilt. Endleaves renewed. A good set. See foliation and condition notes for each volume below. Scarce eighteenth-century edition of this seminal compendium of Jewish law halakhah. Compiled between 1170 and 1180 while Maimonides was living in Egypt the Mishneh Torah is regarded as the author's magnum opus. It is the only Medieval-era work that surveys the full panoply of Jewish observance including those laws that are only applicable when the Jerusalem Temple is in existence. The present edition is the first to contain Judah Rosanes' commentary Mishneh le-melekh. "Mishneh Torah" The Repetition of the Law is an appellation originally applied to the biblical book of Deuteronomy; the subtitle "ha-Yad ha-Hazakah" The Book of the Strong Hand plays on its subdivision into fourteen books: the numerical value fourteen is represented in Hebrew letters as Yud 10 Dalet 4 which forms the word "yad" hand. Maimonides sought to provide a complete statement of the Oral Law so that a person who mastered first the Written Torah and then the Mishneh Torah would be in no need of any other book. Contemporary reaction was mixed with strong and immediate opposition focusing on the absence of sources and the belief that the work appeared to be intended to supersede study of the Talmud itself. Maimonides responded to these criticisms and the Mishneh Torah endures as an influential work in Jewish religious thought. According to several authorities a decision may not be rendered in opposition to a view of Maimonides even where he apparently militated against the sense of a Talmudic passage for in such cases the presumption was that the words of the Talmud were incorrectly interpreted. Likewise: One must follow Maimonides even when the latter opposed his teachers since he surely knew their views and if he decided against them he must have disapproved their interpretation.

1877rif. 4837Miller's Bible and Publishing House 23,5 30,5 Montréal, Canada / Philadelphia 1877 Fort volume in-4, reliure de plein cuir vert sombre, dos à quatre nerfs et à six caissons ornés, deux portant le titre doré "Holy Bible", plats bisautés encadrés d'un triple filet et d'une guirlande dorés, entrelacs dorés au centre, dentelle sur les chasses, tranches dorées, VII-1011 p., Marriages (1 p.), Births (1 p.), Memoranda (1 p.), Family portraits (4 p., soit 16 emplacements de portraits en oval) et 4 p. non paginées, 9 gravures hors texte, dont celle de Gustave Doré "Daniel the Statesman-Prophet". La première traduction en anglais de la Bible hébraïque (Ancien Testament) a été, sur le sol américain, éditée et publiée à Philadelphie en 1854. Notre réédition date de 1877-78 (année hébraïque 5638 comme l'indique la page de titre). Isaac Leeser (1806-1868) est né en Allemagne et a émigré aux Etats-Unis en 1824. Il a été le rabbin de la Synagogue Mikweh Israel à Philadelphie et le créateur du premier périodique juif au Etats-Unis (The Occident). Il a été un promoteur très actif de la culture juive aux Etats-Unis, face au risque d'assimilation ou de protestantisation. Il rappelle au début de la préface son objectif "a desire entertained for more than a quarter of a century, since the day he quitted school in his native land to come to this country, to present to his fellow-Israelites an English version, made by one of themselves, of the Holy Word of God." Sa traduction est une oeuvre de foi : "The translator is an Israelite in faith, in the full sense of the word : he believe in the Scriptures as they have been handed down to us". La traduction de Leeser s'est imposée comme un "standard" jusqu'aux travaux de la Jewish Publication Society (JPS). La page de titre porte la mention "Abraham de Sola, LLD. Montréal, Canada". De Sola (1825-1882), ministre de la Synagogue espagnole et portugaise de Montréal, fut un des continuateurs de Leeser. Coiffes abîmées, mors fendus en tête et en queue, légère déreliure entre les pages VIIet VII, coins un peu émoussés, petite réparation en bas des pages 17-18-19-20, bon intérieur.(EvB19) PHOTOS NUMERIQUES DISPONIBLES PAR EMAIL SUR SIMPLE DEMANDE-DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPS MAY BE AVAILABLE ON REQUEST
