Title: Libro del caballero Zifar [facsimile reproduction of Bibliothèque nationale de France, ms. Espagnol 36]
Author: MARTINEZ, Ferrand

Fine, as if never opened. First edition of this gorgeous facsimile, No. 649 of 987 printed. The Libro del caballero Zifar was the first adventure story ever written in Spain. Dating to the early fourteenth century, this adaptation of the life of Saint Eustace infuses chivalric drama with Christian ideals. It follows Zifar, a knight who becomes a king after being forcibly separated from his family. One of the most important Spanish romances, the text also showcases the international scope of literature of the period, drawing on Arabic stories, geography, and science. The authorship of the manuscript has been debated. It was likely written by Ferrand Martínez, a cleric from Toledo and secretary of Alfonso X of Castille, who appears as a character in the prologue. This facsimile reproduces the “Paris Manuscript,” one of two located in the Bibliothèque Nationale that transmitted the text; the third original is located in the National Library of Spain. Our copy includes the original signed certificate of authentication laid in. (offered with) RICO, Francisco & RAMOS, Rafael eds.) Libro del caballero Zifar. Códice de París. Barcelona: M.

Strom Thurmond (1902 - 2003) was the United States Senator from South Carolina from 1954 to 2003, making him one of the longest-serving senators in U.S. history. Originally a Democrat, he became known for his staunch segregationist views and ran as a Dixiecrat candidate for president in 1948, opposing civil rights legislation. In 1964, he switched to the Republican Party as the political landscape shifted, becoming a key conservative figure. Thurmond also holds the record for the longest filibuster in Senate history, speaking for 24 hours and 18 minutes in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. He retired in 2003 at the age of 100 and passed away later that year.
