Title: [INCUNABULA REFERENCE]. Index librorum saeculo XVmo impressorum quorum exempla possidet Bibliotheca Regia Hafniensis
Author: [Copenhagen. Royal Library / Kongelige Bibliotek]. Bolling, Jorgen Andresen (original compiler) / H.O. Lange (preface)
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: Copenhagen ["Hafniae"]: Libraria Gyldendal, 1901. First Edition. Very good. 8vo. [6], 470 pp. Later neat blue buckram, red morocco lettering piece, top edges gilt, original wrappers bound in (short tear at top of front wrapper). NOT ex-library! Special edition, limited to 100 copies (sic) with a preface by H.O. Lange, of the catalogue of 2,562 incunables preserved in the Royal Library of Denmark, Copenhagen. The entries are listed in Hain order (i.a. alphabetical by author), many of which are described in GREAT DETAIL. This particular catalogue is one of the earliest to contain an index of the towns represented, which extends to 102 pages (sic!) for which see below. The original compiler, J.A. Bolling, worked on the catalogue from the 1830s until his death in 1862; according to Victor Madsen, Bolling "had almost completed his work and put down 2,558 incunabula. Bolling's catalogue remained in manuscript for more than 25 years, when at last Christian Brunn, chief librarian, entrusted Dr. Emil Gigas, at the time assistant librarian, to examine and supplement it, making it ready for press. The first part was published in 1891 and the printing was finished in 1898, when the catalogue was issued as vol. IV of the 'Annual Reports and Publications from the Great Royal Library.' A special edition (i.e. THIS edition) prefaced by Brunn's successor as chief librarian, Dr. H.O. Lange was published in 1901. Bolling's catalogue arranges the incunabula alphabetically according to authors' names and in the case of anonymous publications according to catchwords. In order to characterize it as a contribution to the knowledge of the development of printing it has been provided with an index arranging FOR THE FIRST TIME [emphasis ours] the incunabula by order of towns and in each town by printers." Was Madsen trying to assign priority for such an arrangement not to Proctor ("Index to the Early Printed Books in the British Museum," 1898) but to Bollinger instead? (see: Madsen, Katalog over Det Kongelige Biblioteks Inkunabler, vol. I, pp. xxii-xxiii). ¶ From H.O. Lange's preface to the Bollinger catalogue: "Hujus libri exempla C, e quarto volumine Annalium Bibliothecae nostrae ('Aarsberetninger og Meddelelser fra det store kongelige Bibliothek') seorsum impressa, nunc in librariis prostant." While many books have very detailed descriptions, others are surprisingly brief, such as no. 477: vol. II (only) of "Biblia Latina" (Moguntiae, Joh. Guttenberg, c. 1450?), in Fo[lio], 42 ll." This is of course the 42-line "Gutenberg" Bible, for which see Eric White, "Editio Princeps" no. P47 for a full account of this book and Bolling's cataloguing of it. Surely many of the incunables in the present catalogue once formed part of the ducal library at Schloss Gottorf: White explains that in 1713 Danish troops took possession of Schleswig-Holstein, and by 1749 the aforementioned 12,000 volumes had been transferred to the KB Copenhagen. ¶ From the famed Bibliotheca Bibliographica Breslaueriana (sale at Christies NY, 2005, lot 1255).

Title: Letters Of Life And Anti-Semitism From An American Abroad In Early 20th Century Japan
Author: (YOKOHAMA, JAPAN)
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: a) TLS. 2pg. 8 x 10. July 15, 1920. Yokohama, Japan. A typed letter signed Neil laced with anti-Semitic sentiment. In part: Went out calling last night with the bunch of fellows across the street. The host and his side partner are N.Y. Jews but sort of decent people. The wife is very nice but the husband is a regular East Sider. He is always talking about not that I mind the expense of the house here but the servant is always telling about the money she needs for this and that and I cant see where it goes to. You know just about what kind of a guy he is better than I do, no doubt, and you havent seen him. Anyway it was sort of a pleasant evening, as he left the States in March and brought a lot of the new songs with him. He is a very good piano player and I had a fine time listening to him. One of the songs he played and tried to sing just like John was Pal of Mine you know how nice it was in comparison to the real singer and this Jew did the same stunt of turning to his wife too, as John does to his wife when she sits up in the box. The husband was just a regular N.Y. smart alex Jew. Typed on letterhead from Yokohamas Grand Hotel, which famously burned down as a result of the devastating 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, the letter is in very fine condition, with light toning throughout and a few handwritten corrections not affecting legibility.b) TLS. 3pg. 8 x 10. July 19, 1920. Yokohama, Japan. A typed letter signed Neil regarding work and life as an American abroad in early 20th century Japan. In part: There isnt much doing as for excitement but just hang around and do nothing. I really think I am gaining weight on the job. I met a fellow here who deals in all sorts of dress goods from Boston and I am getting on the right side of him as he gets all his stuff from here and I may be able to get some things for you people wholesale when you need them. He is one of us (you get me) being from Boston and a very fine chap. Eleanor will have nothing on me then getting things wholesale. About the only thing we need now wholesale is to get a bank to give us more money on our checks when we cash in. I am thinking of buying a kimono for Connors in the office for his wife, as they are married in the Fall. He is a nice fellow and I thought for his trouble in calling up and the like I would bring him back one. I am not sure about it as yet but I think I will. Typed on letterhead from Yokohamas Grand Hotel, which famously burned down as a result of the devastating 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, the letter is in very fine condition, with light toning throughout and a few handwritten corrections not affecting legibility.
