1795Copia, nello stesso verso, da un niello appartenuto alla collezione Durazzo, oggi non reperito. I nielli della collezione Durazzo vennero fatti riprodurre in incisioni proprio dal proprietario, tra fine XVIII e inizio XIX secolo, a Venezia - come specificato anche dal Malaspina nel suo catalogo del 1824 - costituendo una serie che venne diffusa e collezionata dagli amatori. Bartsch descrive queste copie nel suo volume edito nel 1811, data che quindi costituisce il terminus ante quem per l'esecuzione. Copy from a niello belonged to the Durazzo collection, now lost. The nielli of the Durazzo collection were reproduced in prints by owner’s will, between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, in Venice - as also specified by Malaspina in his catalog of 1824 - constituting a series that was circulated and collected by the amateurs. Bartsch describes these niello prints in his volume published in 1811, a date that therefore constitutes the terminus ante quem for the execution.

1887Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. 12mo. (16 x 12 cm). In Ottoman script. 44 p. Hejra-Hijri: 1304 = Gregorian: 1887. Extremely rare first edition of this Ottoman edition of 'history of the Jesuits'. This book has been abridged and translated from Taxil's work. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès, better known by the pen name Léo Taxil was a French writer and journalist who became known for his strong anti-Catholic and anti-clerical views. He is also known for the Taxil hoax, a spurious expose of Freemasonry and the Roman Catholic Church's opposition to it. Marie Joseph Gabriel Antoine Jogand-Pagès was born in Marseille, and at the age of five, he was placed into a Jesuit seminary. After spending his childhood years in the seminary, he became disillusioned with the Catholic faith and began to see the religious ideology as socially harmful. Taxil first became known for writing anti-Clerical or anti-Catholic books, notably "La Bible amusante" (The Amusing Bible) and "La Vie de Jesus" (The Life of Jesus), in which Taxil satirically pointed out inconsistencies, errors, and false beliefs presented in these religious works. In his other books Les Debauches d'un confesseur (with Karl Milo), Les Pornographes sacrés: la confession et les confesseurs, and Les Maîtresses du Pape, Taxil portrays leaders of the Catholic Church as hedonistic creatures exploring their fetishes in the manner of the Marquis de Sade. In 1879, he was tried at the Seine Assizes for writing a pamphlet A Bas la Calotte ("Down with the Cloth"), which was accused of insulting a religion recognized by the state, but he was acquitted. In 1885, he professed conversion to Catholicism, was solemnly received into the church, and renounced his earlier works. In the 1890s, he wrote a series of pamphlets and books denouncing Freemasonry, charging their lodges with worshiping the devil and alleging that Diana Vaughan had written for him her confessions of the Satanic "Palladian" cult. The book had great sales among Catholics, although Diana Vaughan never appeared in public. In 1892, Taxil also began to publish a paper, La France chrétienne anti-maçonnique (Christian Antimasonic France), with his staunch anti-Masonic publishing friend, Abel Clarin de la Rive. In 1887, he had an audience with Pope Leo XIII, who rebuked the bishop of Charleston for denouncing the anti-Masonic confessions as a fraud and, in 1896, sent his blessing to an anti-Masonic Congress of Trent. Doubts about Vaughan's veracity and even her existence began to grow, and finally, Taxil promised to produce her at a lecture to be delivered by him on 19 April 1897. To the amazement of the audience (which included a number of priests), he announced that Diana was one of a series of hoaxes. He had begun, he said, by persuading the commandant of Marseille that the harbor was infested with sharks, and a ship was sent to destroy them. Next, he invented an underwater city in Lake Geneva, drawing tourists and archaeologists to the spot. He thanked the bishops and Catholic newspapers for facilitating his crowning hoax, namely his conversion, which had exposed the anti-Masonic fanaticism of many Catholics. Diana Vaughan was revealed to be a simple typist in his employ, who laughingly allowed her name to be used by him. The audience received these revelations with indignation and contempt. Afterward, Taxil left the hall, where policemen escorted him to a neighboring café. He then moved away from Paris. He died in Sceaux in 1907. An extremely rare first translation in Ottoman Turkish. Özege 9775. First Edition.

1908Xilografia a due legni, 1908, priva di firma. Impressione eccellente su carta avorio liscia. Ottimo stato di conservazione. Ampi margini oltre la linea marginale. Nel primo decennio del 1900, De Carolis dedica molta attenzione alla rievocazione di temi popolari, legati in particolare alle raffigurazioni di marine, così come testimonia questa stampa. L'utilizzo di più colori e quindi di un numero maggiore di legni ben si adatta alla vivacità di questi soggetti. Dopo l'adesione nel '96 al gruppo romano In arte libertas, creato dal paesista Nino Costa, dal 1901 insegna ornato in accademia nella Firenze dei maestri del Rinascimento, del "terribile" Michelangelo, del Böcklin dell'Isola dei morti. Comincia ad ornare libri per D'Annunzio e Pascoli e dal 1903 elabora fregi e d articoli per la rivista "Leonardo" fondata con Papini e Prezzolini. Fra le rigogliose figurazioni per la Francesca da Rimini (1902), le rusticane de La figlia di Iorio (1904), le lapidarie del Notturno del "Vate" (1917-21), le stampe marinaresche esprimono un'autonoma poetica. Il varo, L'argano, Il timone, La foce, Le arche - xilografie eseguite fra il 1904 e il 1908, mentre in Europa esplodono primi fenomeni d'avanguardia - denotano un lirismo contemplativo invischiato nel ristagno simbolista che connota la situazione italiana all'avvio del secolo. Ma al di là dei convenzionali significati latenti, quelli manifesti aprono - pur aderendo al fervore estetico del giapponismo fin-de-siècle - un discorso etnografico che si fa via via più urgente, teso a documentare l'irripetibile patrimonio che la "novella civiltà livellatrice" viene annientando. L'appello del 1920 (L'arte popolare, in "La Fionda", Roma) riscuote entusiastiche risposte, stimolando una sensibilità che nel 1923 porta all'istituzione del Regio Museo di etnografia italiana, dal 1956 Museo Nazionale delle Arti e Tradizioni popolari. Woodcut, 1908, printed from two blocks. Excellent impression, printed on ivory paper, wide margins, good condition. De Carolis was an artistic polymath, working as a painter (in particular of murals), interior designer, decorator, xylographer (wood engraver), illustrator and photographer, and is probably the best known exponent of Art Nouveau in Italy. His talent and originality was quickly recognised by two of the greatest Italian writers and poets of the day, Gabriele D'Annunzio and Giovanni Pascoli, and he became their preferred illustrator. Among his most popular works were many illustrations for Gabriele d'Annunzio's novels (Il Notturno, La figlia di Jorio) and Giovanni Pascoli‘s books of poems. In the first decade of the 1900s, De Carolis devoted a great deal of attention to the evocation of popular themes, linked in particular to representations of seascapes, as this print testifies. The use of more colors and therefore a greater number of woods is well suited to the liveliness of these subjects. After joining in '96 the Roman group In arte libertas, created by the landscape painter Nino Costa, from 1901 he taught ornament in the academy in Florence of the Renaissance masters, of the "terrible" Michelangelo, of Böcklin of the Isle of the Dead. He began to decorate books for D'Annunzio and Pascoli and since 1903 elaborates friezes and articles for the magazine "Leonardo" founded with Papini and Prezzolini. Among the luxuriant figurations for the Francesca da Rimini (1902), the rusticane of The daughter of Iorio (1904), the lapidarie of the Nocturne of the "Vate" (1917-21), the prints marinaresche express an autonomous poetic. Il varo, L'argano, Il timone, La foce, Le arche - woodcuts made between 1904 and 1908, while the first avant-garde phenomena were exploding in Europe - denote a contemplative lyricism caught up in the symbolist stagnation that characterized the Italian situation at the beginning of the century. But beyond the conventional latent meanings, the manifest ones open - while adhering to the aesthetic fervor of Japanism fin-de-siècle - an ethnographic discourse that becomes more and more urgent, aimed at documenting the unique heritage that the "new leveling civilization" is annihilating. The appeal of 1920 (L'arte popolare, in "La Fionda", Rome) received an enthusiastic response, stimulating a sensitivity that in 1923 led to the establishment of the Royal Museum of Italian Ethnography, since 1956 the National Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions.

1966258 pages. "On the adbication of Nicholas II Russia's new rulers found themselves confronted by a host of problems, two of which were particularly urgent. What was to be the new government's relationship to its rival in power, the Petrograd Soviet, and what was to be its position on the war and on the aims for which Russia was fighting? To a large degree the answer to the first question depended on the Provisional Government's response to the second. This in turn depended on a third: how did the Tsar's successors conceive of Russia's role and place in Europe? Expressed in the terms of 1917, should the nation still struggle for Constantinople and the reassertion of Russian preponderance in the Balkans? Or should the Russian people fight now only in defense of the revolution and for the democratic principles it proclaimed?" - from Abstract.
