ref. 811016 black & white plates. 32 pp. Square 4to 200 x 200 mm. orig. illustrated semi-stiff wrappers spine sunned & a trifle stained staple-bound. London: Studio International 1969. One of LeWitt’s earliest artist’s books remarkably well-preserved. This is the artist’s fifth book but the third standalone publication not originating from an exhibition or periodical. It is now scarce on the market. “The front cover of Four Basic Kinds of Straight Lines is an exemplary statement of the compositional elements: vertical lines horizontal lines and the two sets of diagonal lines. The proportions are immaculate. The back cover in turn states the narrative: one square with lines in one direction a second with two kinds of lines overlaid a third with three kinds and the fourth with all kinds superimposed; it too is superbly clear and perfectly designed… “The first page of the book after the cover reveals a grid of 16 squares and functions rather like a contents page. Fifteen of the squares declare the elements of the work: the four basic kinds of lines the six combinations of two kinds of line the four combinations of three lines and the single square with all four lines. The 16th square contains the title of the work. This is comparable to a magician showing their audience that they have nothing up their sleeve before they begin their act. In LeWitt’s case he proceeds from this introductory page to show us exactly what was prefigured on the contents page except that each of the 15 components is now blown up and bled off one to a page. But while there is therefore no surprise there is magic. This magic lies in the completeness of the scenario its simplicity and clarity its capacity for re-enactment the beauty of its design and execution and the perfect physical qualities of the book…This book like much of LeWitt’s art has a stability also a rightness. Nothing can be or needs to be taken away; it is a clear and beautiful expression of his idea.”–Clive Phillpot “Sol LeWitt’s Books: Complete & Incomplete” in Booktrek: Selected Essays on Artists’ Books 1972-2010 2013 pp. 261-62.

Remarkable work shedding light on an obscure period of world history. The history of the Jews and the crusades became a part of the history of anti-Semitism for the Jews in the Middle Ages. The call for the First Crusade touched off new persecutions of the Jews that would continue on and off for centuries. In the First Crusade flourishing communities on the Rhine and the Danube were attacked by Crusaders yet many were spared due to the efforts of the Papacy.

1660ref. 103901660. title at the beginning of the text or Yi xue ru men dan tai yu an 醫學入門 An Introduction to Medicine: The Red Platform and the Jade Desk title on cover page. 73 woodcut illus. Six juan in six vols. 8vo bamboo paper a few leaves missing from Preface in the first vol. new wrappers new stitching. China: Wu feng lou 五鳳樓 1660. Second edition of this influential medical work. “The book assembles material from Huangdi neijing 黃å¸å…§ç¶“ The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon Nanjing 難經 The Classic of Difficult Issues and Zhang Zhongjing 張仲景 Liu Hejian 劉河間 Zhu Danxi 朱丹溪 and Li Dongyuan æŽæ±åž£ excerpting their essentials and deleting the obtuse and contradictory parts” Wang p. 103. Our work contains theoretical discussions as well as recipes. The section on women’s medicine for example opens with an abstract discussion of the origin of the male in the qian trigram of the Yijing 易經 Change Classic and of the female in the kun trigram. The discussion then becomes more concrete with a description of the stages of pregnancy. This is followed with a note on taking the pulse followed in turn by a list of prescriptions. One prescription is for a “liquid remedy for adjusting the menses and stabilizing the blood. It is to be administered when the color of the menstrual discharge is light and it is thick and sticky accompanied by a pain in the abdomen.” This recipe contains ten ingredients including red tangerine peel peeled herbaceous peony root and the root of the three-nerved spicebush. There are also lists of medications and foodstuffs that women should not ingest when pregnant. For example eating crab might lead to transverse presentation of the fetus. Birth with transverse presentation is separately covered in a note. Post-natal issues are covered as well including an outbreak of malaria as can happen in the seventh and eighth lunar months we read post-natal cold damage disease and incessant bleeding. Pediatric medicine is discussed after gynecology in the last volume of the work. As with the section on gynecology this section starts with a general discussion: “The illnesses of men and women can be ascertained by asking questions” but “a small child while still being carried in the arms might suffer but not be able to express it.” Alternative methods were necessary such as observing the child’s face. An illustration of a child’s face with the different parts marked accompanies the discussion. As with gynecology numerous prescriptions are also listed in the area of pediatrics. Sun Wenyin was from Xiuning in Anhui in central China. Sickly as a child he read the Change Classic and recited classical Chinese poetry paying considerable attention to how to nurture a healthy life. Sun advocated that nutrition should be the first priority with prescription medications coming second Ding & Wu p. 54. Regarding the writing and printing history of our book Sun writes in the Preface that he had worked on collecting material for the book for 20 years. Then “the book was finished in the bingzi year of the Ming 1636; I printed it in 1638 judging by the dates of the Prefaces to the first edition and showed my friends of a similar inclination. After the destruction of war that accompanied the change of the cauldrons i.e. the Manchu conquest of the Ming only one or two blocks remained.” The blocks thus had to be re-carved creating a second edition of the work. Our copy appears to be missing a few leaves of the Preface which ends mid-sentence and without a date. The Princeton University copy is from the same edition and it is dated to 1660 Shunzhi 17. Our book does not observe the taboo for the character xuan 玄 so we know that it must have been printed before 1661 when the Kangxi emperor Xuanye çŽ„ç‡ r. 1661-1722 ascended to the throne. Very good set occasional stains and split fore-edge folds preserved in a new cloth-backed dropbox. ⧠Ding Qing’ai ä¸é’艾 & Wu Housheng ä¼åŽèƒœ eds.
