Rome Printed at the Vatican Press 1629. --- together with --- The Life and Passion of Saint Adalbert Count Ursinus of Rosenberg Bishop of Prague Archbishop of Gniezno and Martyr; Apostle of the Bohemians Hungarians Poles and Prussians. Written by His Contemporary and Close Companion Pope Silvester II. Now for the First Time Vindicated on Behalf of Its Author by Abraham Bzowski a Pole Master of Sacred Theology of the Order of Preachers Divided into Chapters and Illustrated with Clearer Notes. Rome From the Press of the Apostolic Chamber 1629. The first and principal work in this volume is an exceedingly rare early modern biography of Pope Sylvester II Gerbert of Aurillac renowned as a mathematician philosopher and the first French pope. Writing in defence of Sylvester's legacy Bzowski refutes longstanding legends of sorcery and presents the pontiff as a model of intellectual virtue and ecclesiastical reform. The work exemplifies Dominican historical scholarship and forms part of Bzowski larger project to continue and expand Cesare Baronio's Annales Ecclesiastici. This book also contains his important Latin biography and scholarly vindication of Saint Adalbert also known as Wojciech a Bohemian nobleman from the Ursini-Rosenberg family bishop of Prague and missionary archbishop of Gniezno. He is one of the earliest and most important Christian evangelists in Central and Eastern Europe revered as the "Apostle of the Bohemians Hungarians Poles and Prussians." The book is an important celebration of Polish history as well as that of Eastern Europe more broadly. Born in Proszowice in 1567 Abraham Bzowski was a precocious scholar mastering Latin and music by the age of ten and studying under French humanists in Secemin. He joined the Dominican Order in Krakow later teaching philosophy and theology in Ferrara and Milan. After serving as prior in Krakow and Wroclaw he was summoned to Rome in 1610 by Pope Paul V and commissioned to continue Cesare Baronio's monumental Annales Ecclesiastici. Bzowski authored nine folio volumes covering 1198-1571 noted for their fidelity to Dominican perspectives though not without criticism. Among his other works are the Quadraginta Sermones super Canticum Salve Regina 1598 the Sacrum Pancarpium 1611 and updated papal biographies including those of Paul V and Gregory XV. His Silvester II Caesius 1629 offered here reflects both his historical scholarship and his interest in Polish and papal history. Bzowski died in Rome on 31 January 1637 having spent his final years in monastic seclusion after a personal tragedy. Size: 191 x 268 mm approx.

Brown 'promised £100 towards the fittings' and is sending a cheque for that amount. Continues: 'I clearly see you will do no good unless you have one or two active gentlemen amongst you who will raise the ways & means to do what is necessary & a much more active Chairman than myself.' He is 'quite discouraged & disappointed that no efficient steps have yet been taken to make it useful'. TWO. Printed pamphlet. Full title: 'Liverpool Gallery of Inventions and Science.

1936réf. 28415n.p.: no publisher indicated. 1936. Ephemera. Near Fine. minor handling wear tiny puncture near bottom of left margin equally tiny stain in top margin. two B&W photographic portraits A curious and uncommon piece of Hollywood ephemera a suitable-for framing assemblage with three elements: the text of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address mounted together with two photographs of Charles "Chic" Sale -- one as he appeared in full makeup as Abraham Lincoln in the short dramatic film THE PERFECT TRIBUTE adapted from the short story by Mary Raymond Shipman Andrews directed by Edward Sloman and produced and released by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in August 1935; the other a smaller portrait of Sale sans makeup. The photos are both tipped onto the underlying backing a piece of plain white stock measuring 9" x 12.5"; onto this is mounted a slightly smaller piece of better-quality paper with cameo cut-outs for both the photos leaving a narrow margin on all sides. At the lower left corner of the piece is an INSCRIPTION that reads: "For / My friend / Charles King / Sincerely / Charles 'Chic' Sale / Aug. 17 1936." My surmise is that this was something Sale put together as a self-promotional item touting his atypical dramatic turn as Honest Abe a former vaudevillian at this stage of his life he was primarily engaged in playing "old man" character parts in the movies even though he was only in his early 50s rather than anything issued or authorized by M-G-M. If it had been the latter it almost certainly would bear the studio's logo; plus the date of the inscription is a full year after the release date of the film. Maybe Sale was trying to promote himself into a better class of character parts -- but if so alas it was too little too late: less than three months after he inscribed this particular copy he caught pneumonia and died. If you're interested by the way THE PERFECT TRIBUTE can be viewed on YouTube.
