Augsburg: Alexander Weyssenhorn, 1528. SOLE EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in modern wrappers. Top margin of title cut close but not affecting the woodcut border. Several underscores in red pencil, tiny wormhole in blank lower margin. The book is extremely rare. No copies traced in North America. Urbanus Rhegius' point-by-point refutation of an unpublished pastoral letter by the radical Anabaptist preacher Hans Hut, a follower and successor of Thomas Müntzer (whom he joined in the Peasants' Revolt), who represented a particularly apocalyptic strain of early Anabaptism. Rhegius was a Lutheran theologian, whom Luther referred to as the "Bishop of Lower Saxony". His critique of Hut reflects the tensions between the Anabaptists and leaders of the Reformation in Augsburg. In his "Sendbrief", Rhegius devised a polemical-theological framework that simultaneously documented and critiqued Hut's letter. The text is broken into sections, with excerpts from Hut followed by Rhegius' commentary, giving the text the appearance of a debate. Hans Hut and Anabaptist Theology A former bookbinder and follower of Thomas Müntzer, Hut was baptized by Hans Denck during Pentecost in 1526 and quickly became the most successful Anabaptist missionary in southern German territories. Historical sources suggest he may have baptized several thousand people during his brief career. Hut's theology combined several distinctive Anabaptist emphases with his own apocalyptic urgency: Like all Anabaptists, Hut rejected infant baptism, insisting that baptism should follow conscious faith and repentance. This wasn't merely a ritual disagreement but reflected a fundamentally different ecclesiology-the church should consist only of committed believers who voluntarily choose to follow Christ, not an inclusive territorial church encompassing all residents from birth. He emphasized the "Imitation of Christ"(Nachfolge Christi), particularly with respect to suffering. He taught that true Christians must expect persecution and tribulation, following Christ's path of suffering before glory. This "theology of the cross" was more radical than Luther's-it was not just a question of recognizing human sinfulness but about actively embracing suffering as the mark of authentic faith. Hut developed an elaborate apocalyptic timetable, predicting Christ's return around 1528, following a period of tribulation. He taught that the elect would participate in the final judgment, helping to separate the righteous from the wicked. This millennial expectation gave urgency to his missionary work-the gospel must be preached quickly before the end. Influenced by mystical traditions, Hut emphasized direct spiritual illumination and the "inner word" of God speaking to believers. While not rejecting Scripture, he taught that the Spirit must make the written word living and active in the believer's heart.

London: R.H. Porter, 1900. FIRST EDITION. Complete with all contents, lists of illustrations and index. With 100 hand-colored lithographs after J. Smit and J. Wolf and 121 text illustrations; Contemporary brown gilt-ruled cloth with gilt lettering, gilt vignette of antelope on top cover; despite the light rubbing on edges and repair to one text page in Volume I, a very good copy with clean plates from the Library of Dr. James H. Dolan with his faint blind-stamp on the title pages. Ownership inscription on fly-leaves. First edition of this superb, finely produced work, that offers the perfect combination of visual description and scientific information. This was originally the project of Sir Victor Alexander Brook (1843-1891) who supervised the production of the beautiful plates by Smit and Wolf but died of pneumonia before the text could be completed. Sclater was given access to the manuscript, and wrote the text in partnership with Oldfield Thomas, who provided the synonymy and scientific descriptions. Sclater (1829-1913), a well-known and highly productive (over 1400 publications) ornithologist by trade, is also remembered for his 1858 paper setting out the faunal regions classification of zoogeography later adopted by Alfred Russel Wallace. He was the founder and for many years the editor of Ibis, secretary of the Zoological Society of London, a member of more than forty professional societies at home and abroad, and a council member of the Royal Society of London. Thomas (1858-1929), British zoologist, was a curator at the British Museum of Natural History. In numerous publications he described for the first time nearly two thousand new species and subspecies of mammals.

N.P.: Fourth Episcopal District Womens Missionary Society of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, 1975. Very good. 8½” x 10½”. Blue pictorial wrappers. Pp. 90 + 14 unnumbered section dividers. Very good with wrappers somewhat chipped, scuffed and spotted; penciled owner notation to first page, else internally fresh. This is a rare creation, not only a fabulous cookbook but also a rich resource on the Fourth Episcopal District of the AME Church, serving Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Canada. An introduction from Edythe Primm, Supervisor of the District's Women's Missionary Society shared the motivation for the work: “Because of my love and respect for Sarah Allen, the wife of our first Bishop, Richard Allen . . . It is my hope that the entire Connection will accept this Cookbook as another dimension of our A.M.E. History, as an opportunity to know each other better, and we as Missionary women, must continue in the tradition of Sarah Allen, and try to help meet the physical needs of those who surround us.” While the book is divided into sections of “Favorite Recipes” from both the Reverends and the Missionary Societies throughout the District, an index at the rear reveals a total of 246 recipes in 18 culinary categories. Beverages include “Richard Allen Spice Tea” and a “Soul Warmer,” and there are entries for “Bishops Bread,” “Bible Cake,” “Casseroles and One-Dish Meals,” “Tamale Tub Boats,” “Greens-Greens-Greens,” “Oven-Chicken Whirlibirds” and “The Spice of Life Variety Salad.” Sweets play the largest role, with separate sections for “Candy,” “Cookies,” “Cakes and Frostings,” “Puddings,” “Pies and Pastries,” as well as just “Desserts.” The book also lists the Cookbook Committee Chairwomen, Conference and District Officers, and the recipe sections named the pastors and their churches for each region. Additional chapters include a biographical sketch of Sarah Allen, “Recipes from Richard and Sarah Allen's Day” (with lists of common ingredients and helpful household tips), “Amounts to Buy When Serving 50” and “Spiritual Food for Thought.” The last offers “Bible Prescription,” “Life's Recipe,” “How to Preserve a Husband” and aphorisms such as “Never trust your tongue when your heart is bitter” and “If people speak ill of you, live so that nobody will believe them.” There are charming line drawings of food items and district maps, and four blank pages at the rear for “Your Own Special Recipes.” Edythe Primm served as Supervisor of the Women's Missionary Society of the Fourth Episcopal District from 1968 until her death in 1975, allowing for our date attribution. A rare resource for AME history and culinary expertise. OCLC shows two holdings of the physical book.

This is the first of four 1798 printings. The sermon is an attack on Jefferson, and a Federalist's warning against utopian theories of government. "When the caprice of innovation, and the indeffinite love of political novelty, gets abroad, it always ends in blood." Backus hated Jefferson: "Invited to preach the election sermon in 1798, with Absalom as an example he portrayed the character of the demagogue in such a way as to leave no doubt as to what living politician he had in mind" [DAB].

Description
St. Louis, Missouri: Francis L. Filas, S.J., 1961. Very good to near-fine. A little wear to wrappers.. A guide to sex education for parents, penned by a Jesuit Priest. Surprisingly advocates for open and honest conversation-- that is, within the boundaries of the home. Emphasizes the importance of sex education in private rather than at school or in other venues, and classifies it as a "character development" subject for private discussion. Highlights, of course, the importance of intertwining sex with religion, and how "The plan of God underlies all proper sex education", making the two inextricable from each other. States that sex acts outside of marriage are "evil" and have "no meaning". An interesting mixture of conservative and moderate values. Fourth printing, first printed in the Chicago tribune. Single vol. (6" by 3.25"), pp. 16, in original illus. brown, gray, black and white wrps. "The Queen’s Work was founded by Jesuits of the Missouri Province, specifically at the bequest of Jesuit General Father, Francis Xavier Wernz, and the Missouri Province leadership in the persons of Alexander J. Burrowes and Edward Garesche, to provide 'a journal of national character "which would '[publish] articles of interest to all Catholics." (jesuitarchives.org).

(p. 4). A motto on the upper wrapper sums up the pamphlet's message well: "'Tis Better Far to Stain Gray Hair Than to Appear Old When You Are Not". 16 pp., 5.5" by 3.75

Description
London: London Film Productions, 1936. Four vintage studio still photographs from the 1936 film, one of Charles Laughton in the lead as artist Rembrandt van Rijn and three of Gertrude Lawrence as Rembrandt's lover Geertje Dircx. In 1933, 3 years prior to "Rembrandt," director Alexander Korda and Charles Laughton made "The Private Life of Henry VIII" firmly establishing Korda as a director of note and Laughton as a star. While "Rembrandt" would not garner the same box office success as "The Private Life of Henry VIII," it was a critical success and features a compelling performance by Laughton in the lead role. An unconventional approach to a biopic, Korda's "Rembrandt" breaks the life of the painter into to 3 distinct periods. 1642, at the peak of his fame when his beloved wife Saskia suddenly dies and he unveils his most ambitious painting the 12' x 16' "The Night Watch" to a scandalous reception (though not historically accurate it does assist the narrative in this riches to rags story). 1656, with the painter bankrupt but happy, having ended his affair with his son's nurse Geertje (Gertrude Lawrence) and fallen in love with the housemaid Hendrickje Stoffels, played by Laughton's wife Elsa Lanchester. Finally 1669, Rembrandt is at the end of his life, physically enfeebled and impoverished, but wizened, undiminished and undaunted. 8 x 10 inches. Very Good plus, overall. Some light creasing primarily to edges and some light rubbing. One open tear on bottom left of Laughton photograph. Criterion Collection Eclipse Series 16.

Description
New York: Harbor Gallery, 1983. Paperback. VG (Covers foxed; pages clean; binding solid.). BW illustrated stapled wraps. 32 pp., profusely illustrated in bw. From reading the lengthy preface by Chris Zarzynski, it appears as if this gallery came across a complete, or near complete run of Gazette Des Beaux Arts, and removed all the original etchings from it in order to sell them by-the-piece. There are offered in this catalogue 158 artworks (primarilly etchings) with prices, and arranged by artist. The year of production is included with each. A useful reference, as such.
