1999rif. 80546Los Angeles California and Portland Oregon: Weezer Fan Club 1999. Complete run of the handcrafted Weezer Fan Club publication along with Weezer Fan Club Address Book which lists the name and address of more than 4000 members and the membership card of Weezer Fan #4339 name withheld. Also accompanied by the Weezer Christmas CD 2000 which features the tracks "The Christmas Song" and "Christmas Celebration". Weezine was the passion project of sisters Mykel and Carli Allan who started the Weezer Fan Club in late 1994 shortly after the release of the band's debut album. The quarterly publications served as a primary source of band news in the mid to late '90s. Issues of the zine consisted of around 16 pages each filled with fan submissions information on B-sides interviews with the band forms for ordering band merch and anything else related to Weezer. Tragically Mykel and Carli Allan along with their younger sister died in a car accident while caravanning between Weezer shows in Denver and Salt Lake City on July 9 1997. Karl Koch Weezer's general assistant and "unofficial fifth member" assumed control of the zine beginning with Issue #11 which was dedicated as a tribute to the sisters. Weezer headlined a tribute concert in Hollywood California on August 15 1997 to help cover the funeral costs and dedicated their third album Weezer Green Album 2001 to the Allan sisters. Production of the Weezine slowed down significantly in the late '90s both due to Koch's other commitments and the lack of news caused by the band's post-Pinkerton 1996 hiatus. The zine along with the fan club as a whole was officially ended by Koch and the band around 2000. All issues are photomechanically reproduced on standard white stock and folded to digest size 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". The first ten issues are bound with staples while the final four are simply folded. Accompanied by two mailing envelopes. Some very faint smudging to a few issues; else near fine. OCLC locates no holdings. Weezer Fan Club unknown

Rock 1884-1962 was "captivated by the ritual books he found in the possession of the Naxi religious specialists the 'dongba' while plant hunting in China's borderlands. Rock went on to devote the remaining years of his life to the translation of these books that contained such a treasure house of knowledge a corpus of literature that for Rock offered tantalising glimpses at the indigenous religion of pre-Buddhist Tibet. Rock a voracious autodidact appreciated an intellectual challenge: this was a script that by the time he first encountered it in the 1920s nobody had previously deciphered aside from some exploratory incomplete translations conducted via Chinese by French scholars and explorers. This vast corpus of ritual literature was essentially unexplored territory and this was where Rock liked to tread. Through his assiduous collecting and cataloguing and not without controversy he preserved thousands of these texts in collections now spread throughout the western world . While Rock's first published translations were no more than concise summaries of the stories he discovered within the Naxi manuscripts he later developed a more extensive anthropological style of translation. This meant recording in exacting detail the phonetic reading given by a dongba and then embarking upon a full written commentary. The first translation to use this method was published in 1937 as 'The birth and origin of Dto-mba Shilo the founder of Mo-so shamanism according to Mo-so manuscripts' a seminal work on Dobbaq-sheel'lo the mythical founding father of the dongba religion" see Poupard D.J.

Primeira edição desconhecida por Inocêncio que apenas refere edições oitocentistas.Inocêncio V 75. ”José Monteiro da Rocha do Conselho de Sua Majestade Comendador da Ordem de Cristo Cónego magistral da Sé de Leiria; primeiro Lente jubilado da Faculdade de Matemática Director do Observatório astronómico e Vice reitor da Universidade de Coimbra; Mestre do Príncipe da Beira; Socio e Director de classe da Academia Real das Ciências de Lisboa etc. etc. - Nasceu em Canavezes vila situada na margem direita do Tâmega próxima de Amarante a em 1734.Diz-se que sendo levado ainda na infância para o Brasil cursára os estudos no colégio dos Jesuítas da Baía; que ali professára o instituto de Santo Inácio; e que por ocasião da expulsão destes regulares em 1759 ele preferira abandonar os seus consócios deixando se ficar na mesma cidade onde o governador que então era o encarregára da educação de seus filhos. Outros pretendem que tendo entrado na ordem em Portugal só depois da expulsão dela fosse parar á Bahia d'onde voltou para o reino ao fim de alguns anos.Conta se como certo que no tempo em que o Marquês de Pombal projectava a reforma da Universidade o mandára chamar em razão das informações que obtivera da sua capacidade e Ciência achando se ele ainda então no Brasil segundo uns e conforme outros em Coimbra já de volta da Baía. Parece que não fôra sem grande receio que o ex-jesuíta comparecêra perante o ministro o qual recebendo o com afabilidade lhe perguntou: «Qual das cadeiras da Universidade se julgava apto para reger» - A isto respondeu modestamente o interrogado: «Aquela que os mais não quiserem.» Então o marquês batendo lhe amigavelmente com a mão no ombro lhe disse: «Sossegue que há-de ser empregado!»Tratando-se para logo da reforma foi-lhe incumbida e por ele organizada e redigida a parte dos novos Estatutos da Universidade que diz respeito ás Ciências Naturais e á Matemática. Traduziu e preparou depois alguns compêndios para uso das aulas respectivas como abaixo se dirá.A sua fama de matemático insigne não ficou concentrada nos domínios portugueses; espalhou-se pela Europa onde o seu nome é conhecido e mencionado com honra. D. João VI quando príncipe regente o chamou para a côrte nomeando o Mestre do príncipe D. Pedro e mais infantes cargo que desempenhou até à saída da família real para o Brasil em 1807. Tendo comprado uma quinta no sítio de S. José de Ribamar próximo de Lisboa ali viveu.José Monteiro da Rocha legou por morte á Academia das Ciências todos os seus manuscritos os quais foram mandados entregar a esta corporação pela Secretaria dos Negócios do Reino contidos em um caixote a cuja abertura se procedeu em o 1.° de Março de 1825. Tive ocasião de examinar o inventário que deles se formou e que existe ainda arquivado na Academia. Versam pela maior parte sobre assumptos próprios das Ciências matemáticas principalmente da astronomia havendo entre eles várias memórias incompletas. Foi-lhe mandado conferir o grau de doutor por portarias do Marquês de Pombal de 3 e 7 de Outubro de 1772.”EN In 8.º 20x13 cm. xv 320 pp.Binding: Contemporary full calf with raised bands and gilt tools on spine.Illustrated with 14 folded engravings depicting scientific texts and devices.Engraving with Portuguese coat of arms of King D.
