A most attractive sammelband of two well-illustrated books in an attractive contemporary blind-stamped binding probably made at the Stavelot monastery in Belgium. I. First collected and illustrated edition of the scientific writings of the Venerable Bede including De Natura Rerum dealing with cosmology and natural history and De Temporum Ratione a work on chronology that still exercises a considerable influence over our daily life today. This edition was edited and commented upon by Joannes Noviomagus i.e. Jan van Bronchorst of Nijmegen 1494-1570 philosopher and mathematician then a professor of philosophy at the Collegium Montanum in Cologne. It would appear that he used the manuscript at the Dombibliothek no. 103 of Cologne to prepare this edition. The De Temporum Ratione is a significant book in several ways. Most notably “this book helped to establish the custom of counting years from the birth of Christ. When we say that Queen Elizabeth II was born in 1926 not ‘in the 16th year of the reign of George V’ or ‘in the year 2678 after the foundation of Rome’ or in the ‘2nd year of the 481st Olympiad’ we are indebted to the Venerable Bede.”–Printing & the Mind of Man 16n. “Bede’s greatest practical effect was on the Western calendar. His decisions beginning the year calculation of Easter names of days and months calculations of eras and so forth in most instances finally determined usage that was only refined not changed by Gregorian reform.”–D.S.B. I p. 565. “The De Ratione Temporum first published in 1505 is particularly important. It contains a remarkable theory of tides based upon Pliny but also upon personal observation; first mention of the establishment of a port i.e. the mean interval between the moon’s meridian passage and high water following; this interval is different in different ports.”–Sarton I p. 511. Pierre Duhem described Bede’s establishment of a port as the only original formulation of nature to be made in the West for some eight centuries. Also contained here is the De Natura Rerum 1st printing: 1529 which contains such physical science as was then known. It collects the wisdom of the ancient world on these subjects and has the special merit of referring phenomena to natural causes. It contains a particularly important section — the “De Comptu vel Loquela digitorum” — which is “our main almost our only source for the study of mediaeval finger reckoning or symbolism.”–Sarton I pp. 510-11. See also Smith History of Mathematics II p. 200. The rest of the book contains further treatises by Bede on arithmetic astronomy and the calendar and chronology. II. Very rare.

Index. Very rare early and apparently first complete edition of the seminal works by the "Father of English History" the venrable Bede. Bede’s most famous work his "An Ecclesiastical History of the English People" Historia Ecclesiastica Gentis Anglorum begins with the invasion of the British Isles by Roman forces and is considered one of the most important historical records documenting Roman rule Anglo-Saxon settlement and the evolution of the Church on the island. With its focus on Anglo-Saxon history the work is considered a key foundational text in the forming of a national English identity. The "Ecclesiastical History" contains stories that serve as the only source documenting the conversion to Christianity of the Anglo-Saxon tribes. It tells the story of Britons from Julius Caesar’s invasion to the time of Bede himself . He tells the story of battles conversions and miracles performed by monks and bishops and details Britain’s early history from the Roman invasion. He furthermore describes the organization and establishment of Christianity in the English church and covers the personal history of Holy Ethelwald and miracles of growth within the English church such as the development of the bishopric. "Bede’s works fall into three groups: grammatical and “scientific” scriptural commentary and historical and biographical. His earliest works included treatises on spelling hymns figures of speech verse and epigrams. His first treatise on chronology De temporibus “On Times” with a brief chronicle attached was written in 703. In 725 he completed a greatly amplified version De temporum ratione “On the Reckoning of Time” with a much longer chronicle. Both these books were mainly concerned with the reckoning of Easter. His earliest biblical commentary was probably that on the Revelation to John 703–709; in this and many similar works his aim was to transmit and explain relevant passages from the Fathers of the Church. Although his interpretations were mainly allegorical treating much of the biblical text as symbolic of deeper meanings he used some critical judgment and attempted to rationalize discrepancies. Among his most notable are his verse 705–716 and prose before 721 lives of St. Cuthbert bishop of Lindisfarne. These works are uncritical and abound with accounts of miracles; a more exclusively historical work is Historia abbatum c. 725; “Lives of the Abbots”. In 731/732 Bede completed his Historia ecclesiastica. Divided into five books it recorded events in Britain from the raids by Julius Caesar 55–54 BCE to the arrival in Kent 597 CE of St. Augustine of Canterbury. For his sources he claimed the authority of ancient letters the “traditions of our forefathers” and his own knowledge of contemporary events. Bede’s Historia ecclesiastica leaves gaps tantalizing to secular historians. Although overloaded with the miraculous it is the work of a scholar anxious to assess the accuracy of his sources and to record only what he regarded as trustworthy evidence. It remains an indispensable source for some of the facts and much of the feel of early Anglo-Saxon history." Encycl. Britt. Only three editions of Bede's Opera Omnia are known before Dr. Giles' edition from 1843 - 44. The first was printed in 1563 and the third in 1688. The 1688-edition constitutes the second edition of the present 1612-edition which is "According to Dr. Henry the only complete edition" Lowndes I:143. These three editions are also the only ones known to have been printed in folio though Lowndes mentions the 1688-edition as 4to. The 1612-edition is the rarest. Some of the works contained in this edition are said not to be Bede's own as some of the many scientific richly illustrated works on geography the heavens the universe music etc. bear small resemblance to his other works.

He is most remembered for his ecclesiastical work on the history of English people in which he discusses the establishment and growth of the church throughout the known world. He also wrote important commentaries on the books of the Bible. This work explains relevant Biblical passages as well as describes the allegorical notes of Church Fathers. However he did not write exclusively of church theology. He also wrote on the development of time and ideas of cosmology. This 16th-century Latin edition was published in Paris by Roigny.

1957ref. 232581957. ComicsPolitical ActivismLatin America Archive of five issues of Argentine anti-authoritarian sci-fi comic El Eternauta by Héctor Germán Oesterheld printed in Hora Cero anthologies 1957-59. El Eternauta is widely regarded as one of the most important works in Latin American comics combining speculative science fiction with social commentary and a distinctly Argentine setting. The story follows a small group of survivors navigating a mysterious extraterrestrial invasion that devastates Buenos Aires. Its narrative of collective resistance survival and moral responsibility became foundational to Argentine graphic storytelling and later assumed additional historical resonance through Oesterheld's political activism during Argentina's military dictatorship. The author was kidnapped and "disappeared" along with his daughters for his anti authoritarian activities under the late 1970s military junta. The December 1957 installment opens with five bombers over a city devastated by the deadly snowfall while the 1958 and 1959 installments move through Plaza del Congreso Calle Callao and the invaders' command structure under the running banner "Una cita con el futuro." . This scarce archive includes: 1 Oesterheld Héctor G.; Solano López Francisco. Hora Cero. Suplemento Semanal. No. 17. Buenos Aires: Editorial Frontera 25 de diciembre de 1957.

Bombers from other latitudes attack Plaza del Congreso to destroy the invaders' general headquarters bringing down many aircraft but also blasting the "manos" robots and gurbos below. 5 Oesterheld Héctor G.; Solano López Francisco. Hora Cero. Suplemento Semanal. No. 103. Buenos Aires: Editorial Frontera 19 de agosto de 1959. Lacking cover; the surviving issue retains the imprint panel "Hora Cero / Año III / Numero 103." The survivors find a way to strike decisively following a dark-eyed young woman toward the invasion's command post while counting on grenades and the panic of the "manos" once their internal terror gland is triggered. Oesterheld's narrative departs from traditional adventure comics by emphasizing collective action rather than a single heroic protagonist portraying ordinary civilians organizing survival and resistance. The later political charge attached to the serial after Oesterheld's kidnapping and disappearance under the last Argentine dictatorship gives added weight to these original printings but the story itself was already rooted in anti-Authoritarianism presenting military pressure and a collective struggle against greater power. Moderate toning and handling wear throughout; scattered creasing edge wear and small losses to covers; issue no. 103 lacking cover; several covers with penciled or inked prices and markings.
