Description
Venice: [Giovanni Tacuino] Ioannis Taciuni de Tridino, 1516. Very good with faults as described.. Folio. [14 ], 168 leaves. 35 column-wide woodcut vignettes in text, numerous woodcut decorated letters. Signatures: a\8 b\6 A-EE\6. Title in gothic type; main text printed in large roman type, surrounded on three sides by commentary in smaller roman type; marginal notes in small roman type. Index on preliminary leaves. Bound in circa c19 re-used plain vellum, with older manuscript text scraped away, discernable but illegible. Title page guarded on inner margin, with two paper repairs on verso; manuscript notes in contemporary hand on blank verso of b6, about half washed away and offset onto A1r. Light water stain in early quires. A1 repaired on verso. Interlinear manuscript notes in contemporary hand in first quire only. Burn hole in C4. Paper repair to verso of D3, Woodcut on T1 inked over but clearly visible. Restorations on the lower corners of numerous leaves with slight loss of text in some cases. References: Sander 486; Essling 1324; BM Italian, p.35; Adams A-1375. Just about 150 years into the Common Era, the African writer Apuleius produced one of the most influential novels ever written, a model for Cervantes, Rabelais, Shakespeare, Salman Rushdie and Angela Carter. The plot surrounds the misfortunes of Lucius, who fumbles around ambitiously with magic spells and accidently turns himself into a donkey. The narrative of Lucius's four-footed travels is interspersed with many other tales, including the story of Cupid and Psyche--one of the first examples in culture of a fairy tale transmitted in written rather than oral form. In the end, Lucius recovers human form through a ritual of religious initiation into the cult of Isis. The book survived, barely, in manuscript (I think it survived due to its pornographic passages, which were probably quite dear to cloistered monks), and was revived in the Renaissance with the commentary of the humanist scholar Filippo Beroaldo, included in this edition of the text, which is only the second printed edition to feature illustrations.

Description
[Mexico City], April 23,1847. Disbound. . Very good; old folds; one word affected by a hole (paper flaw?); looks to have been bound into a larger collection at one time.. Folio broadside meas. appx. 483 x 310 mm. on milled paper. The public printing of Manuel Baranda's (minister in Santa Anna's government) circular to district governors concerning the Mexican defeat at the Battle of Cerro Gordo several days prior. After United States forces captured the port of Veracruz on March 29, 1847, General Winfield Scott advanced towards Mexico City on April 2 by crossing the Rio Antigua. General Antonio López de Santa Anna, commanding Mexican forces in the area, had prepared fortifications at Cerro Gordo, near Xalapa, with more than 8,700 soldiers in a fortified defile. A reconnaissance was sent out to find, or to make, a road by which the rear of the enemy's works might be reached without the need of a frontal assault. This reconnaissance was made under the supervision of Captain Robert E. Lee. The subsequent battle was an overwhelming success for the Americans. The broadside offered here issued by the Mexican government is an acknowledgment of the defeat and an attempt by the Mexican side to buttress public opinion; urging citizens to maintain their fighting spirit. OCLC cites only the Yale copy; absent from Garrett.
