réf. 4027India Early 20th century . Very good. Large painting on a manuscript leaf in Arabic from the "Sharh al-Wiqayah" by Burhan al-Shariah Mahmud ibn Ubayd Allah SEE BELOW 353 x 216 mm hinged onto plexiglas mount with clear tape so that the text of the manuscript is visible from the back; matted matte size: 500 x 360. A remarkable erotic Indian painting of an uncommon type which we describe as "zoomorphic erotica." The painting depicts a camel within a frame surrounded by an antilope a lion a horse a gazelle and a bull; within each animal is a depiction of an orgy comprised of six or in the case of the camel seven men and women all finely rendered by an artist of considerable skill. This is a very high quality piece. THE MANUSCRIPT on which the painting was applied belongs to a rare text: is an excerpt from the "Sharḥ al-WiqÄyah" a commentary on a work of Hanafi fiqh law by BurhÄn al-Sharīʻah Maḥmūd ibn ʻUbayd AllÄh d. 1274 or 1275 specifically from the chapter about PREPARING BODIES FOR FUNERALS. We are grateful to Kelly Tuttle for her scholarly generosity in identifying this text and for dating it to the early 20th century. MUST BE SEEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. unknown books

1891réf. 5749Philadelphia: P. Blakiston Son & Co 1891. Octavo 24 x 15 cm. viii 9-100 pages. Charts and one illustration. First American Edition and first of this English translation. Originally published Vienna 1886 as Ueber die Wirkung des karlsbader Thermalwassers. Carlsbad Sprudel Salt was the evaporated form of water from the Karlovy Vary or Karlsbad Spa where "taking the waters" had been a cure for centuries and to which the European elite flocked for cures and rest. This work is a translation and expansion of "The increasing interest manifested in this country in natural mineral waters and in products derived therefrom coupled with the almost total lack of really scientific research in this branch of medicine have been the incentives that have led to the translation of this work from the German of the renowned balneologist Dr. Walery Jaworski a professor of medicine at Poland's Jagiellonian University Medical College. "As the Carlsbad Thermal Waters have for over 200 years held such a prominent place in the treatment of disease in Europe and as American physicians are becoming more and more impressed with the importance of making themselves familiar with the therapeutic values of these as well as other mineral springs a systematic and scientific treatise together with carefully tabulated experiments must of necessity prove acceptable" from the preface by translator Albert Toboldt. The illustration depicted in the text and duplicated on the front board is of a patient being administered the powdered sulfur waters. In publisher's pebbled green buckram with a blind-stamped and gilt-decorated front panel. Previous owner's name "Thomas G. Allen" to preliminary blank. Very near fine. OCLC locates twenty copies. P.

1915réf. 5685Ensley Alabama: The Church; Printed by Garrison Printer 1915. Octavo 21 x 13.5 cm. 89 i pages. Advertisements. Index and “Index of advertisements.” Date of publication estimated from external evidence. Evident FIRST EDITION. A church cookbook from a once independent municipality at the moment of its absorption into greater Birmingham. Nearly three hundred recipes some of them attributed; including: English Currant Bread Poached Eggs with Creamed Celery Fried Okra with Onions Artichoke à la Barigoile i.e. Barigoule Creamed Parsnips Cherry Salad Savory Custard Prune Trifle Chelee Sauce Rhubarb Relish Scuppernong Wine Coffee Jelly Watermelon Preserves. ~ Located at the southern edge of the Pratt Coal Seam Ensley was a planned industrial city built on land acquired by Enoch Ensley 1832-1891 to provide housing as well as communal and commercial infrastructure for workers employed in the coal and iron ore mines of the Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Company. Residents’ experience in self-governance was short: the city was incorporated in February 1899 but annexed by Birmingham on the first day of 1910. Opposition to the takeover was vigorous – a mock funeral was held and a tombstone laid to commemorate the “euthanized” city – such that the persistence of the community’s independent identity works against clarity regarding the appearance of the St. John’s Cook Book. Advertisements for two theaters equipped to exhibit silent films place the range of dates across the annexation divide: both – that for the Belle Theatre on page 2 and that for the Franklin Theatre on page 28 – announce adherence to guidelines set forth by the National Board of Censorship a name for what became the National Review Board in use only between late 1909 and 1915. ~ The history of Episcopalians in Alabama cannot be separated from the history of advocacy for slavery nor from the influential tenure of the Confederate episcopate of Richard Hooker Wilmer 1816-1900 an ardent proponent of secession. Unlike Methodists Baptists and Presbyterians Episcopalians did not divide over issues surrounding abolition. While their numbers declined in the later nineteenth century – Wilmer though under house arrest for demonstrations of hostility against the United States president was still permitted to serve as bishop – they retained the loyalty of landholders and industrialists. Thus the upper echelons of Ensley grew sufficiently to merit the establishment of a parish which was admitted into the Diocese in 1898 just before formal incorporation of the city. Images of the church for which funds were raised by the Ladies of St. John’s are not listed among the archival holdings now deposited at the Birmingham Public Library. The brick complex that stands at the site today on Ensley West Avenue was built in 1951. The parish having dissolved in 2000 this building was listed for sale in 2016. ~ One abrasion along fore-edge of text block. Stapled in publisher’s green wrappers titled in black over brown cloth.

1943réf. 5466Florence Alabama: The Church 1943. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 171 v pages. Advertisements. Errata list page 1. Cover title. Table of contents. Third Edition. A generous helping of more than nine hundred recipes clearly an act of perseverance to review and produce during wartime. Southern favorites stand in relief: Cracklin Bread Hush Puppies Ambrosia Daube Glacé Cabbage Au Gratin Creole Peas Fried Bananas Black Bottom Pie Pecan Cake. But this is a substantial revision of the second edition and the Women of Trinity Guild were noting with interest recipes from beyond their immediate sphere as much as was the case anywhere else. Three early instances of Italian-American spaghetti exemplify the cuisine's transition from "peasant" food to household staple. Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama's northwestern corner the birthplace of W. C. Handy and by extension it is often said the birthplace of the Blues. The seat of Lauderdale County the city and the surrounding region had become prosperous through its abundant access to water power early in the nineteenth century. Though not the first Episcopalian congregation established in Alabama – Anglicans had already settled in Mobile and Tuscaloosa – Trinity Church founded in 1836 and still an active community lays claim to the title of oldest parish in the Tennessee Valley. Several handwritten corrections in pencil otherwise clean and bright internally. In stapled black-lettered red wrappers worn at the corners and with some good sized chips to the spine. Front panel of wrapper is illustrated with a photograph of Wesleyan Hall University of North Alabama. Good only. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of the present revised edition and one copy of the first edition 1929; a copy of the second edition 1931 is also known; none of these editions is included in Brown Cagle or Cather.

1931réf. 5467Florence Ala: The Church 1931. Octavo 22.5 x 14.5 cm. x 151 xxix pages. Advertisements. Table of contents. Stated Second Edition likely a corrected printing of the first edition. An evidently well-received collection of nine hundred recipes following closely upon the first edition of only two years previous with the same 151 pages. Southern favorites stand in relief: Southern Egg Bread Okra Gumbo Bishop Whipple Pudding Ambrosia Owendaw Asparagus Loaf Blackeye Peas Elder Blossom Wine Creole Pralines. But it would be misleading to truncate the story there for the Women of Trinity Guild could venture out as eagerly as their counterparts elsewhere from Almond Bisque and Lobster Canapes to Queen of Trifles and Banberry sic Tarts. Marginalia on page 110 comments on the Sponge Cake fine “…grand but a lot of work”. For more local color an advertisement on the rear of wrappers is for “Dowdy’s Pit Bar-B-Q Fish-Chili Lee Highway.” ~ Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama’s northwestern corner the birthplace of W.
