Description
Rome: Ex Typographia Apostolica Vaticana, 1590. First edition of the Sixtine Vulgate Bible. Engraved illustrated title-page. Title in red and black, text in double columns. [8], 479, [1]; [5], 482-899; [5], 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface, i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium, terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr, ac moderator Deus ..." (as often). Folio (13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches). Later red morocco, spine darkened, corners bumped, some repairs at head and tail of spine, marbled endpapers, gilt edges. Engraved title and title page paper-backed. Red quarter morocco clamshell box. First edition of the Sixtine Vulgate Bible. Engraved illustrated title-page. Title in red and black, text in double columns. [8], 479, [1]; [5], 482-899; [5], 902-1141pp. Lacks the 4ff preface, i.e. the papal bull of Sixtus V beginning "Aeternus ille caelestium, terrestriumq. rerum omnium conditr, ac moderator Deus ..." (as often). Folio (13-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches). The Sixtine Bible, containing the Vulgate text as edited by Pope Sixtus V, intended as the first ecclesiastically authorized text to be used throughout Christendom. "In its text it comes closer to R. Stephanus' Bible of 1538-40 than to the Louvain editions" (Darlow & Moule, who discuss the textual variations). The association with Aldus II suggested by Renouard (and lasting long thereafter) is spurious. Pope Sixtus V died soon after the book was printed, and was followed by three short-lived popes. The Sixtine Bible had "aroused antagonism among both clergy and laity" and was swiftly condemned; the edition was withdrawn by Pope Clement VIII soon after his elevation to the papal throne in 1592, and many copies were destroyed. Preparations began in 1591 for a new edition of the Vulgate, printed in 1592 and known as the Clementine Bible, which long remained the standard Vulgate text. As often (e.g. the Brooker copy), this copy without the preface, the Bull of Sixtus declaring the text to be immutable and forbidding any reprint without papal permission.

Description
Paris, Coblenz and London, 1842. Hand-coloured aquatint engraving by Lucas Weber after Bodmer, blindstamp, issue with one figure at the rail on the right hand side of the deck of the paddle-steamer. A beautiful scene depicting an Ohio steamer flanked by three keelboats, all caught against a late evening sky. En route to St.Louis, Missouri, Bodmer, Prince Maximilian and Dreidoppel traveled via the Ohio river. About twenty-five miles beyond Shawnee Town, Bodmer sketched this intriguing geological rock formation known as Cave-In-Rock on the Illinois side of the river near Cave-In-Rock Island, which is today part of a National Park. Keelboats and ships transporting goods passing by this historic point were often attacked by pirates waiting to rob their cargo. Karl Bodmer's images show great versatility and technical virtuosity and give us a uniquely accomplished and detailed picture of a previously little understood (and soon to vanish) way of life. Swiss-born Bodmer was engaged by Prince Maximilian zu Wied-Neuwied (1782-1867) specifically to provide a record of his travels in North America, principally among the Plains Indians. In the company of David Dreidoppel (Prince Maximilian's servant and hunting companion), their travels in North America were to last from 1832 to 1834. They arrived in Boston in July 1832, traveled on to Philadelphia, where they stayed with Napoleon Bonaparte's elder brother Joseph. From here they headed west across Pennsylvania across the Alleghenies to Pittsburgh and the Ohio country, visiting all the important German settlements en route. Their most important stop on their route west was at the utopian colony of New Harmony in Indiana. The Prince spent five months there in the company of some of the country's leading scientific men, and studying all the relevant literature on backcountry America. On 24 March 1833 the party reached St. Louis, Missouri, and the start of the journey into Indian country. Graff 4648; Howes M443a; Pilling 2521; Sabin 47014; Wagner-Camp 76:1.

Description
Limited to 200 copies in blue wrappers, of which this is number 128, small quarto, pp. 38 plus colophon. Letters eulogizing Pulsifer on the occasion of his death. No location or publisher noted, but Portland, Maine, Bradford Press. A photo of Pulsifer is mounted on title page. Laid in is a copy of a typed sheet of correspondents, including Ethel Roosevelt Derby (Daughter of Teddy Roosevelt) and Katherine S. White (Mrs. E. B. White). We noted that there are more letters in the text than writers listed on the sheet, which caused us to wonder if there were perhaps a second sheet of correspondents originally, but now missing. A search of OCLC returned copies at Brown, Colby, Columbia, and University of Virginia. The copy at Columbia notes there are two sheets, but the copy at Brown states that it "lacks the (single) leaf identifying the correspondents." University of Virginia's copy also notes a single "leaf identifying the correspondents is inserted." Glued to the final page of the volume at hand is an affectionate note, dated December 1948, from Pulsifer's widow, Susan, to "Francis," who is likely Francis Gilbert, Pulsifer's Pomfret School and Harvard classmate, whose letter appears first in this book.  GOOD condition with some mild shelf and handling wear.  A rear panel nick in the wrapper at crown of spine. Note that in a couple places, brackets are placed around a formal name and the signee's familiar name is written beside.
