Title: Calendarium Romanum magnum
Author: STOEFFLER, Johann
Seller: Heritage Book Shop, LLC (United States)
Description: Oppenheim: PerJacobum Köbel, 1518. Full Description: STOEFFLER, Johann. Calendarium Romanum magnum, Cæsaree maiestati dicatum...[Oppenheim: Per Jacobum Köbel, 1518]. First edition. Folio. Complete. [14], 74, [50] leaves. Including the two leaves of errata after sig **. Title within woodcut border of coats of arms of the chief states of Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland (repeated on full-page Anatomical Man woodcut on leaf 14), woodcut architectural border on second leaf (*ii). Twenty-four small woodcut views of cities (including repeats) in the Abacus, twelve woodcuts of the monthly occupations and twelve woodcut medallions representing the signs of the zodiac in the Calendar, sixty-three woodcut diagrams of solar and lunar eclipses, four full-page woodcut diagrams of astronomical instruments in red and black at the end. White-on-black (one twelve-line and numerous four- and seven-line) foliate woodcut initials. Calendar and tables printed in red and black. Bound to style in full modern calf. Boards ruled in blind. Gilt central device and gilt corners. Spine stamped in gilt. Board edges ruled in gilt. Previous owner's old ink notes to front fly leaf. Some minor worm holes throughout, only ever affecting a few letters. Some scattered light marginal dampstaining. The twelve woodcut medallions representing the signs of the zodiac in the calendar are trimmed close at fore-edge, just touching the woodcut. The final full page woodcut diagram is trimmed close at fore-edge, just touching diagram. Some invisible repairs to gutter of final leaves. Overall a very good and clean copy. This compendium of astronomical, cosmographical, medical, and historical writings is probably the best known specimen of Koebel's press. At the Lateran Council, Stoeffler was commissioned to revise the calendar, and this handsome illustrated work was the result of his labors. The numbered leaves consist of forty-one propositions devoted to the zodiac, eclipses, the calculation of Easter, etc. There is an "Abacus Regionum per totam ferme Europam," giving the positions of various places, beginning with England, Ireland, and Scotland. This occupies twenty-four columns at the bottom of each of which is a small woodcut of a town or a battle, some of the towns, such as Venice, being recognizable. After this comes the Calendar, beautifully printed in red and black, with woodcuts showing the occupations appropriate to each month. Following this is a section on the eclipses of the sun and the moon from 1518 to 1573 and astronomical talbes for the years 1518 to 1579 inclusive. There is an extensive section on phlebotomy and purgatives, giving the proper places for these operations at various seasons. Stoeffler (1452-1531), professor of astronomy at Tübingen University, was one of the first to show how the Julian calendar could be brought into harmony with astronomical events. He did, however, make one absurd prediction-that the Great Flood would occur again in 1524. There was great consternation because of this, and the people of Toulouse even went so far as to build an ark! Stoeffler, however, seems to have survived the failure of his prediction, for he published a new ephemeris in the year of his death. Jakob Koebel (1460-1533) operated the first printing press at Oppenheim, producing his first publication in 1499. "This work is prized partly on account of the excellence of the tables calculated by Stoeffler...one of the most eminent astronomers of the age, and also for the small woodcuts at the foot of each page of the Calendar, representing the occupations of the husbandman throughout the year" (G.R. Redgrave, "Some Early Book-Illustrations of the Oppenheim Press," Transactions of the Bibliographical Society III, pp. 71-80). First edition of a work from the first press of Oppenheim, which operated from 1503 to 1532. In addition to extensive astronomical information, this work contains sections on blood-letting, ancient and modern observances of Easter and reform of the calendar. Stoeffler was Professor of Astronomy at Tübingen University. Koebel published a German translation of the calendar in 1522. Adams S1884. Fairfax Murray, German, 403. Houzeau & Lancaster 13730.

Title: Contents (December 1976)
Author: CARRIÓN, Ulises
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: Black & white illus. throughout. [16] pp. (incl. wrappers). 4to, printed wrappers, staple-bound. Warsaw: Galeria Remont, 1976. An extremely scarce exhibition catalogue published for Carrión’s first exhibition at Henryk Gajewski’s Galeria Remont. Gajewski (b. 1948), the Polish artist and filmmaker, founded this contemporary art space in a dormitory student club at the Warsaw University of Technology. The gallery operated from April 1972 to November 1979, hosting performance art, exhibitions of photography, stamp art, and bookworks, and many other events. This catalogue contains the artist’s celebrated manifesto “The New Art of Making Books,” which had been published for the first time the previous year in Plural no. 41 (in Spanish) and Michael Gibbs’s Kontexts nos. 6-7 (in English). Galeria Remont became one of Carrión’s most important international connections in the vast network of collaborators he formed. Following this show, he curated another exhibition at the Warsaw space — Inne Ksiazki (8-30 May 1977) — and gave lectures and performances there related to mail and stamp art. Most of the text in the catalogue reproduces Carrión’s characteristic bold script. In a very frank artist’s statement, he elucidates his pivot from Mexican literary wünderkind to avant-garde language artist: “After extensively publishing short stories and theater plays in [Mexico], U. C. began using language outside the mould of what is usually called literature. Since then, rather than writing poems ‘in the form of’ an advertisement or a dictionary (old literature under new masks), he situates dictionaries, phone-books, ads, or any other manifestations of language, as autonomous structures. His aim is to reveal the beauty and richness of these structures regardless of their referential content. U. C. is still a writer — and he insists on calling himself such — who writes very little or doesn’t even write at all. This is a radical shift in attitude which enables U. C. to concern himself not only with verbal languages, but also with any system of symbols he may come across. He presents such systems either in the form of a book or as a display on a wall.” A fine copy, but for faint browning to the wrappers. ❧ Juan J. Agius & Ricardo Ocampo, eds., Ulises Carrión: Books & More, Catalogue Raisonné (2013), p. 116.

Condition: A fine copy
Description: London: Ridinghouse, 2014. A fine copy. 10.75 x 8 inches. 432 pages. Illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. First edition. "Rose English emerged from the Conceptual art, dance and feminist scenes of 1970s Britain to become one of the most internationally influential performance artists working today. This comprehensive exhibition catalog documents her 40-year career to date, including legendary site-specific performances and large-scale spectaculars. Her uniquely interdisciplinary work combines elements of theater, circus, opera and poetry to explore themes of gender politics, the identity of the performer and the metaphysics of presence. English has mounted performances on ice rinks; at the Royal Court Theatre and Tate Britain, London and Franklin Furnace, New York, collaborating with horses, magicians and acrobats. Accompanying many rare archival photographs and performance scripts, a major essay by art critic/curator Guy Brett surveys the artists work and times alongside interviews with two of Englishs closest collaborators, Sally Potter and Simon Vincenzi" (the publisher).
