Title: POESIES
Author: (BINDINGS - VOGEL). MALHERBE, [FRANÇOIS DE]
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: [Printed by Jules Didot l'ainé for] Chez Janet et Cotelle, 1824. 235 x 150 mm. (9 1/4 x 5 7/8"). 2 p.l., xxxii, 458 pp. SUPERB CONTEMPORARY PURPLE STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO BY VOGEL (stamp-signed in gilt at foot of spine), COVERS WITH ELABORATE GILT AND ONLAID FRAME IN VARIOUS BRIGHT COLORS IN THE ROMANTIC STYLE featuring decoration in red, green, and citron morocco, flat spine with elongated central compartments with large floral onlay, four smaller compartments, two with lettering, two with onlaid quatrefoils, gilt-ruled turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. With frontispiece portrait. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with morocco ex-libris of Dominique Courvoisier. Trivial rubbing to extremities, preliminary leaves and frontispieces with a little spotting, occasional negligible spots elsewhere, but A VERY FINE COPY, the text clean, fresh, and bright with vast margins, and the binding almost like new. This collection of verse by the father of French classical poetry comes in a brilliantly multi-colored and perfectly preserved binding by an excellent 19th century Parisian workshop. Although François de Malherbe (1555-1628) described himself modestly as "an excellent arranger of syllables," Britannica tells us his "insistence upon strict form, restraint, and purity of diction prepared the way for French Classicism," the rules of which would exert great influence on French verse for two hundred years. The binding here is clearly exuberant, but it is as precise in its execution as Malherbe's poetry. According to Flety, Vogel worked in Paris in the first half of the 19th century (ca. 1815-49), and in 1823 exhibited "des reliures bien confectionées" ["some finely made bindings"]. That would seem to be faint praise, judging by our volume. The animated decoration here is beautifully designed and very expertly finished. Our volume is especially well preserved: it is rare to see 200-year-old purple morocco that has not faded to brown, and there are virtually no signs of use. It is clearly a copy for connoisseurs, like former owner Dominique Courvoisier, a binding expert at the Bibliothèque nationale de France..

Title: Personal Message to You, The Art of Physic Phenomena
Author: Marjah, the Mystic
Seller: Eclectibles (United States)
Condition: General wear.
Description: 1920. General wear.. A tri-fold brochure about the "art of physic phenomena", or more specifically crystal gazing. The front cover features a 'floating head' of the Marjah with the text, "It is his purpose to first induce you mentally to realize some things and then to realize upon your mental realizations." Stamped across the front cover in dark blue ink is the word "Marjah". The brochure describes what crystal gazing is. Claiming that "telling futures by means of the Magic Crystal is far more difficult than by other methods, so much depends on the Seer, owing to difference of individual temperament." It continues on to give instructions on how to perform a reading, such as the "purer the intent on and motive of the seer, the more lucid will be the visions accorded." As well as stating that no more than two more people, other than the seer, should be at any gazing, and that they should sit an arm's length away from one another. A vision within the crystal takes patience to see and that depending on were it appears within the crystal (foreground, mid distance, or background) it relates to whether or not it vision is about the past, present or future. After these instructions, there a list of symbols one might see, and their meaning. For example, an ear means news and information, but if it is ugly or distorted it could mean a scandal or abuse. Black bread means famine, but if the bread has yellow spots on it as well, it means plague. Lastly, on the back, the "Creed of the Crystal Science League" is printed: "We believe: That if we think, talk, and express Health, Happiness and Success we shall attract them to ourselves. If we develop our minds properly there is nothing we cannot accomplish.... If we give forth light for others, we shall illumine our own path. To this end we united our minds in united thought forces." There is some references throughout the brochure of consulting with the Marjah, but the only information given on how is "All letters containing questions to Marjah must be mailed to your local Theatre. They will be forwarded to Marjah by your local Theatre." Measures 7" x 4" (folded). In researching Marjah, found an advertisement for an upcoming performance in The Times Herald, Port Huron, MI, Nov. 1920.
