Provenance: Fernand Gaulthier armorial bookplate. A rare Lyonese edition of a popular pocket guidebook for priests. A succinct survey of every aspect of the priesthood the text opens with the meaning of sacerdos priest a definition of the job: the care and salvation of human souls and the requirements for fulfilling this office: basic literacy and the ability to express oneself correctly. From abstract concepts to practical applications the fundamental tenets of the Christian Church are methodically reviewed: the articles of faith seven deadly sins cardinal and theological virtues three keys of the church three parts of penitence etc. as are the different kinds of sacraments the materials used for them and their meanings and the various clerical offices. The telegraphically short entries with abundant use in this small format edition of abbreviations permitted the inclusion of a vast amount of indispensable knowledge for the practicing priest. The last third of the text is devoted to an equally condensed introduction to the Computus with headline Abbreviatio compoti the all-important calculation of time based on the yearly date of Easter; it includes mnemonic verses and syllables. "The Cura clericalis reflecting the received wisdom on the subject defined four rules for the priest. He was to be a celebrant of Masses and so needed to understand the basic texts and to be able to pronounce the Latin grammatically and clearly. He must be a minister of the other sacraments and so needed to know what and how many they were to grasp the essential matter of the sacrament and be able to distinguish it from the peripheral features and to know the proper mode of administration. He was to be a confessor and so must above all be able to distinguish venial from deadly sin . Finally he was to be a 'plebis doctor' the teacher of his people able to instruct them in the articles of faith and the other precepts of God" E. Duffy The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England 1400-1580 New Haven 2005 p. 57. Dozens of editions are recorded most surviving in one or two copies and some with no currently known locations. ISTC records nine incunable editions printed from ca. 1492-4 to 1500 all but one undated of which 8 from Germany and one printed in Paris. In the next century the earliest editions appeared in the northern Rhine and France and later in England and Italy.

The anonymous printer of this edition of which one other copy is known Besançon Municipal Library was Claude Nourry as recently identified by Dr. Helwi Blom whom we thank for her kind assistance. Much of Nourry's output was published without his name and he printed many editions without the place or date of printing. He issued another edition with full colophon in 1524 Baudrier 12 129; Gültlingen 1 86: 113; USTC 130305 but no present locations for that edition are known. The title woodblock was used in other Nourry editions including his 1523 Beroaldo Carmen lugubre de dominicae Passionis die USTC 130303 and the initial C on A2r appeared in editions from 1520.

1850rif. ABC_47715Qajar Iran 1850. Contemporary limp leather and woven floral-patterned cloth. 8vo 12.5 x 22 cm. Persian manuscript on polished paper. Black nasta'liq script in 15 lines per page ruled in green and blue with rubricated chapter headings and marginal medallions. A beautifully presented Persian manuscript comprising a unique guide to the barren crossing from Kerman to Kandahar in mid-19th century Qajar Persia. The guide perhaps actually used by two Russian owners whose inscriptions are extant on the front free endpaper in fact covers several routes through what is today south-eastern Iran and western Afghanistan providing reliable information on distances water sources and other relevant data. For instance a reader is told the number of houses in the most populated villages - and consequently the odds of spending the night sheltered indoors at a host's home. - The journey begins in the town of Kerman originally founded as a Sasanian outpost and proceeds to explain one's options to travel to the ancient city of Kandahar; also included are several other routes. The distances daily destinations and road options are all covered in detail for each journey. Apart from these practicalities a traveller also receives tips on the shrines or other tourist spots one might visit on a given day of travel.With two inscriptions in pre-reform Russian cursive on the front free endpaper dated 1855 and 1917. The first inscription appears to be a translation for the benefit of a Minister of the Russian Empire. The second mentions a journey across Afghanistan and Baluchistan possibly with the aid of this very manuscript or perhaps it was a souvenir. Certainly an interesting piece of travel writing and one designed not solely for the armchair traveller. Light wear to cloth though it is remarkably unfaded. Aside from one minor dampstain interior is bright and clean. hardcover
