BOOK DESCRIPTION: refined devotional Psalter preserving a complete series of psalms in a fifteenth-century blind-stamped leather binding. Dimensions 201 x 143 mm. In Latin, illuminated manuscript on parchment, Italy (Padua), c. 1390-1410, ii + 96 folios on parchment, written in an Italian gothic bookhand in black ink, psalms numbered in an early hand, contemporary marginal additions, two- to three-lines initials in red or blue with red flourishes for each psalm, SIX ILLUMINATED INITIALS four- to five-lines in green or purple on blue grounds with white penwork, ONE ILLUMINATED INITIAL, twelve-lines, in purple, red, and green on gold and blue grounds. BINDING: Fifteenth-century binding of leather over wooden boards, tooled in blind with Italian knot tools. TEXT: This complete Psalter gathers the one hundred and fifty psalms to be recited each week during the Divine Office in a fifteenth-century blind-stamped leather binding, adorned with knot tools typical of Italian bookbinding. The refined illuminated initials reflect developments of Paduan illumination at the beginning of the fifteenth century, displaying characteristic features, such as the soft undulation of the foliate extensions in light pink, green, and red, the gold bezants with sharp endings, and the delicate, swift decoration of the blue ground with white penwork. PROVENANCE: Based on stylistic evidence, the present manuscript was written and illuminated in Padua near the beginning of the fifteenth century; Marginal addition in a sixteenth- or seventeenth-century hand; Unidentified label, written "N.1286 / da.tax," in a nineteenth-century hand; Dawson's Bookshop, Los Angeles; sold to Marvin Colker in 1944; Marvin L. Colker (1927-2020), Professor of Classics at the University of Virginia and renowned paleographer, who catalogued the manuscripts at Trinity College Library, Dublin. His ex libris, "Sum ex libris Marci Leonardi, 19X44," is written on f. 1, while his shelfmark "MLC 4" appears in the lower inner corner of ff. 1 and 3 (see Faye and Bond, 1962, no. 4). CONDITION: occasional marginal damp staining, otherwise in very good condition. [TM 1290]

2004. ISBN 9781584773627; ISBN-10: 1584773626. Wade, John, [Compiler and Editor]. The Extraordinary Black Book: An Exposition of Abuses in Church and State, Courts of Law, Representation, Municipal and Corporate Bodies; With a Precis of the House of Commons, Past, Present, and to Come. A New Edition, Greatly Enlarged and Corrected to the Present Time, by the Original Editor. Originally published: London: Published by Effingham Wilson, 1832. xxxii, 683 pp. Reprinted 2004 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN 9781584773627; ISBN-10: 1584773626. Hardcover. New. $35. * Reprint of the final revised and expanded edition. Especially significant because it had a direct influence on legislation, this "Bible of the Reformers" is a model of investigatory pamphleteering in the cause of representative democracy. The long struggle to transform Great Britain into a modern state was effected primarily through the gradual expansion of the electorate, which was accomplished though the Reform Acts of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. In the earlier era, as the growth of industry shook the traditional agrarian economy dominated by the landholding aristocracy, the accompanying campaign to transform government by weaning power from traditional loci was conducted through a mass of books, pamphlets and other printed matter. The Extraordinary Black Book, which went through several editions between 1820 and 1832, was the most important of these. As the editor explained: "Government has been a corporation, and had the same interests and the same principles of action as monopolists. It has been supported by other corporations; the Church has been one, the Agriculturists another, the Boroughs a third, the East-India Company a fourth, and the Bank of England a fifth: all these, and interests like these, constituted the citadel and out-works of its strength, and the first object of each has been to shun investigation. We have, however, rent the vail..." (Advertisement to the New Edition, iv-v). Printing and the Mind of Man calls this "a massive compendium of all the abuses, electoral, ecclesiastical, legal which they sought to abolish" 1967:180.

Description
New York: D. Appleton-Century Company. Very Good+ in Fair dj. (c.1947). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [moderate shelfwear, previous owner's name and date purchased written on ffep, small stamp (a 1963 Christmas Seal) on front pastedown; jacket worn, rear panel soiled, a couple of ragged tears at top of front panel, a few other small tears]. "A novel of youth by a new writer of distinction." The novel is "the moving story of Eliza Wall, part realist, part dreamer; of her growing obsession with Claw Moreau, the outcast French Canadian; of the suspicious, disapproving Maine townsfolk, with tongues too ready to accuse and hearts too slow to forgive. Swift events follow upon their meddling -- flight, disillusion, revenge. Out of these Eliza Wall stands revealed as she is and must be." .
