réf. 6651Manuscript on paper bound. 19th century. Good. Octavo 18 cm; 1 78 leaves paginated in manuscript. Latin and French text on facing pages. Bound in waste vellum manuscript in French no longer easily legible. Pages thumbed and toned at edges. Interlinear corrections in text as well as tipped in overleavers with corrected text. All we know of this manuscript book derives from examination of the physical evidence. The text does not correspond to any known French verse translation of the Book of Job so it seems to be a private endeavor. The unprofessional cursive orthography accords stylistically with handwriting typical of the 19th century but the structure and materials of the binding could indicate an earlier origin. The Latin text of the Vulgate appears on the pages facing the translation. Manuscript on paper, bound. hardcover books

Written to President John Quincy Adams trying to convince him that he is a supporter in part: ".Mr. Pearce who is my competition for the seat which of lately occupied in Congress. Sir I am informed stated publicly and repeated that in conversation with you whilst last at Newport on your way to Washington you said to him that a short time since - that the whole delegation of the state of Rhode Island of course including myself were opposed to you. I have no confidence in the correctness of this report but their sic may be some who will believe it. The people of this state knowing that I have amongst them uniformly avowed my friendship for you as far as the report is credited be inclined to believe I have asserted one opinion at home and another at Washington. It is therefore injurious to my private character and I would feel myself under great obligation to you could you think there be no impropriety in enabling you to correct it."

réf. ST19350-006Germany 12th century. 272 x 185 mm. 10 3/4 x 7 1/4". Single column 28 lines in a late Caroline hand. ◆Leaf trimmed irregularly along one side about 18 lines lacking a letter or two vellum a bit wrinkled and worn text a little faded in places but still very presentable and the text almost entirely legible. Penned in a pleasing and very legible late Caroline hand this leaf has sustained very little loss and is remarkably well preserved for having been previously reused as binding scrap. Although the text includes several abbreviations that are commonly found in proto-gothic scripts the hand also shares a number of similarities with the Caroline minuscule that dominated Western Europe scribal hands in earlier periods including a long "s" with the shaft on the line and the use of the ampersand as a general abbreviation for the letters "et" occurring anywhere in a word. The text here comes from Pope Gregory the Great's "Moralia" conceived as a commentary on the book of Job and begun when Gregory was just a young papal envoy to Constantinople. It is a guide to the Christian life written in simple direct language which transforms the thought of Augustine into a practical manual of behavior. unknown books

A touch of rubbing at the extremities else fine copies handsomely bound. First editions of these French-language paraphrases of the books of Ecclesiastes and Job. It includes an essay on the urim and thummim the Hebrew terms first appearing in the biblical book of Exodus that had been and are interpreted to refer to elements of the breastplate of the High Priest. Hardouin argues that the words refer to nothing material and solid and mean ‘lights’ and ‘perfections’. The text of the Latin Vulgate is printed at the side-margins alongside Hardouin’s French-language versions of the biblical texts with notes in French below. The chapters of Ecclesiastes also have French-language introductions. The French Jesuit Hardouin 1646-1729 who was the son of a bookseller is a very interesting scholar because he developed an extreme view on literary forgery. He held for example that most of the Greco-Roman classics had been written in the thirteenth century. References: Conlon 29: 531; 530. De Backer & Sommervogel 4:104 nos. 85; 86.
