First edition according to the Standard of 1892. 28 566 2 pp. Title printed in red and black with floriated borders by Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue title in black letter. 1 vols. Folio. Copy #12 of the limited issue of the revised Book of Common Prayer overseen by D.B. Updike and signed in ink on the verso of the title of many of the principals associated with the revision approved at the 1892 General Convention including financier J.P. Morgan who helped fund the edition's publication. The limited edition was prepared in two forms one being this form intended for distribution to each diocese and jurisdiction within the Church with original signatures on the verso of the title and with a variant title all in black letter without border. The standard limited edition of 500 copies on handmade paper has the signatures of the principals in printed facsimile and a foliated border around the title resembling those around the main text and the central "Laudate Dominum" device and the two lines: "Together with the Psalter or Psalms of David." Updike comments at length on this project in his introduction to NOTES ON THE MERRYMOUNT PRESS and about his role in the attempted rescue of an ill-conceived attempt to produce a decorated edition from the plates of the 1892 printing: "The best things about the book were the cover and charming end-papers which Goodhue designed for it. Sad to relate the edition had an immediate and resounding success! We were congratulated and we blushed. Our shame was taken for modesty and we were congratulated more! While the book is indeed a strange one it is by no means so strange as the designs originally made for it" see pp. 9-10. Nonetheless the experience was an important prelude to the production in 1928 of Updike's own edition widely regarded as his finest work. Laid into this copy is a photocopy of the 4pp. leaflet ON THE DECORATIONS OF THE LIMITED EDITION OF THE STANDARD PRAYER BOOK OF MDCCCXCII.

1871Best.-Nr. 41289Paris, , 1871. In-8 manuscrit en belle page (15 x 21 cm) de (2)-131 ff. montés sur onglet à 30 lignes par page, demi-chagrin vert, dos à nerfs, titre doré (reliure de l’époque).
Best.-Nr. 11588vo. 186x 119 mm. 7 ¼ x 4 ½ inches. 1-14 1 15-19 21-24 1 25-29 1 30-36 1 37-90; folios 74 and 83-90 blank except for page numbers and 4 lines on fol. 85 verso; plus 18 blank leaves at the end followed by 1 leaves containing 3 index pages and 1 final blank leaf. Manuscript section tiles in outline capitals on separate leaves included in foliation. Complete the gap between folios 19 and 21 is a foliation error. Ruled borders throughout. Text in brown ink in a flowing cursive hand varying lines numerous insertions and deletions. The manuscript on wove paper is illustrated with 20 pen-and-ink drawings of which 7 full-page on rectos with verso blank the first five not included in the foliation and 13 half-page or smaller plus 2 small ornaments. Bound in black straight-grain morocco covers gilt paneled central panel with arabesque tooling at corners smooth spine with gilt title cartouche lettered “Bluettes” from which extend triple gilt fillets terminating in ornaments at head and tail gilt edges with moiré satin endleaves; binding a bit rubbed with corners bumped. A manuscript of poems and short prose pieces all in a romantic vein illustrated with quite accomplished pen-and-ink drawings presumably by the author whose name and the date of the manuscript are supplied on the verso of the front free endpaper: “Le Baron Achille de Cholet / Officier á l’Etat-Major / 1836”. In the first poem Aux Dames the poet calls himself a “novice Ecolier” implying youthfulness and the date of 1836 on the front fly leaf is probably at the time of writing although some of the many corrections and deletions may have been added later. The titles of the other poems or groups of poems are : Le Rin Le Déserteur L’Isolement L’Impiété Un Croix sur la Montagne La Mère du Prisonnier L’Avenir / á Melle Francine d’Hurbal Rheyms Séparation L’Enfant perdu L’Adieu au Plaisir La Campagne / á Mr le Vicomte Alfred de R. . . Le Cloches du Soir La Neige Les Pauvres and Le Jour des Rois . . . These stolid sentimental poems and prose impressions reflect the prevailing Romanticism of the period as do the far more skillfully executed pen-and-ink drawings that illustrate them. Somber or dreamlike with dark cross-hatching contrasting with lighter areas the drawings show a dark tunnel under a rocky mountainside a soldier in a garret or prison a cloaked barefoot man an emblematic trophy with musical instruments and weaponry a raven perched on ruined tombstones and columns a domestic scene of father and daughter a women on her knees the façade of Reims Cathedral surrounded by swirling clouds architectural details of cathedrals several surrounded by decaying facades and vignettes of crumbling chateaux pastoral churches and snow-covered gatehouses all of which reflect the vogue for l’ancienne France and the “pittoresque” as notably popularized by Nodier and Taylor in their Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans l’Ancienne France 23 volumes 1820-1878. Achille de Cholet was descended from an ancient Anjou noble family according to his obituary in 1888 in the Bulletin héraldique de France vol. 7 235-6. He became an officer in the Légion d’honneur and was well known for his important topographic researches in the south of France. A few of the pieces in the manuscript are dedicated to aristocrats mainly female. It seems likely that the Baron shared his family’s Royalist views: his father had died in exile and his brother whose first name is not given in the obituary was an “ardent champion of the Royalists press” and author of a book title Madame en Vendée relating the attempted coup in 1832 of the duchesse de Berry mother of the Prentender the Comte de Chambord which was pursued and effectively banned by the tribunals indeed the work appears not be recorded in OCLC or other online OPACs. Thanks to Nina Musinsky for this description. . unknown
1786Best.-Nr. 34053Philadelphia: Printed by Hall and Sellers 1786. The Suppressed Original Episcopal Book of Common Prayer The American Protestant Episcopal Church was founded after the American Revolution as an adaptation of the Church of England in the new United States. The church was founded at a convention in Philadelphia in 1785 at which it was agreed to create a separate prayer book. The present title is the result and it caused great controversy upon its publication. Among the ill-considered revisions were "changes and omissions of such drastic nature as among other things the deletion of the Nicene and Athanasian Creeds. The Proposed Book proved unwelcome to clergy and laity even its suggestion of a prayer for the Fourth of July being taken exception to. Its use was brief and not general" Page. "This edition contains the alterations which were intended to adapt the Book of Common Prayer of the Church of England to the changed political conditions of this country; and is the result of a convention held in Philadelphia in 1785 presided over by the Reverend William White. The proposed Prayer Book met with much criticism and opposition in the church owing to its radical changes and was never adopted" - Evans. Rare. 12mo. Contemporary calf original endpapers.

Best.-Nr. TM 767MEDIEVAL SERMON MANUSCRIPT IN A FIFTEENTH-CENTURY CHAINED BINDING CHAIN INTACT decorated manuscript on parchment in Latin Austria Vienna or Southern Germany c. 1275-1300. 182 x 127 mm. 190 folios complete written in a rapid Gothic hand with cursive influence in two columns of thirty-two to thirty-seven lines justification 141-143 x 96-100 mm. parchment ruled in brown ink quire signatures guide notes for rubrication red rubrics capitals and names of cited authorities stroked in red rhymed phrases underlined in red red paraphs two- to three-line plain red initials two-line red initial with pen flourishing in red f. 131v occasional scribal corrections and marginalia. BINDING: Fifteenth-century blind-tooled and -stamped red calf with eight engraved and bossed cornerpieces intact fore-edge clasp and chain hasp with intact chain with two manuscript fragments serving as front flyleaf and lower pastedown. Chained libraries were a late medieval solution to the problem of providing access to needed books in an institution while at the same time preventing theft and we can assume many late medieval volumes were once chained. Most however have been rebound or survive without the chain and other metalwork and intact chained bindings such as this one are uncommon. TEXT: This extensive collection includes more than one hundred sermons from the Sermones de sanctis et de communi sanctorum of the early Franciscan writer Conrad of Saxony d. 1279 together with his very popular text the Speculum beatae Mariae virginis all copied not long after their composition. This is however not simply a copy of Conrad's sermon cycle since some of his sermons are omitted and six sermons by contemporary Dominican authors Martinus Polonus Aldobrandinus de Calvacantibus and Antonius Azaro de Parma as well as eight sermons by unidentified authors were also included. It seems likely this is an example of a re-working of Conrad's texts for a Dominican audience who would have prized it as a preaching aid and for its pronounced Marian focus. Marginal annotations attest to the early use of these sermons most likely by preachers. PROVENANCE: Written in Southern Germany or Austria at the end of the thirteenth century as suggested by evidence of spelling script and decoration. Belonged to the Dominican house attached to the Church of St. Maria Rotunda in Vienna as indicated by two fifteenth-century inscriptions; here it was probably part of the house's chained library. Belonged to a Dominican convent at KosiÄe in present-day Slovakia as indicated by a sixteenth-century inscription. Belonged to Maurice Burrus 1882-1959 Alsatian philatelist; his ex libris on the front pastedown. CONDITION: Slight rust stains and corrosion in the outer margins of ff. 184-188 margins trimmed away overall in good condition. Full description and photographs available TM 767. books
