Title: Sermon de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe de Mexico, Predicado en Su Santuario el Año de 1777 Dia 14 de Diciembre en la Solemne Fiesta con Que Su Ilustre Congregacion Celebra Su Aparicion Milagrosañ
Author: Fernandez de Uribe, Jose Patricio
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Good.
Description: Mexico City: Mariano de Zuñiga y Ontiveros, 1801. Good.. [8],26,129pp. Small quarto. Disbound, a bit roughly. Minor damage along gutter of initial and final gatherings. Light dampstaining along top edge, scattered foxing. Text block cocked; oversewn, affecting inner margin. A scarce Marian sermon on the appearances of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The author, José Patricio Fernandez de Uribe, was a native of Mexico City who died at age fifty-four in the town of San Augustín de las Cuevas in 1796. He gave this sermon in 1777, but it was not published until making this posthumous appearance. More than a sermon, it is actually a disquisition that canvasses the body of evidence to support the miraculous four appearances of the Virgin to Juan Diego in 1531 as true occurrences. His speech is artfully expanded upon with a large appendix that in fact occupies the preponderance of the text, with a separate title page and calling itself a "Disertacion Historico-critico" on the subject. In both works, Fernandez de Uribe examines a large number of sources and thoroughly evaluates what the writers and witnesses say and do not say. This copy is perhaps in need of some conservation, but the work is an important source on Mexican beliefs regarding their patron saint and also quite rare -- Medina knew of his copy and one at the British Library; OCLC adds two more copies, at the University of Puebla and the Library of Congress.

Title: Archive of Correspondence from Iowa Poet Marvin Bell to Charles Simic
Author: [Charles Simic] Marvin Bell
Seller: Capitol Hill Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: Iowa City, IA et al., 1970. Very Good +. Iowa City, IA, Spain, Vermont, Tangier: 1970-1977. Archive of fourteen pieces of correspondence from the Iowa poet Marvin Bell (1937-2020) to the late Poet Laureate Charles Simic (1938-2023). Previous mail folds, some wrinkling, else Very Good or better. Collection is comprised of twelve typed letters signed and two autograph picture postcards. The correspondence is concentrated around 1970 to 1972 between the two up-and-coming poets. The first half of the letters relate primarily to the frustrations of organizing a reading of Simic's poetry at the University of Iowa, where Bell taught for forty years. A date was agreed upon, and then abruptly cancelled just a couple of weeks before the reading by Paul Engle, organizer of the Iowa Poetry Workshop. The reading eventually took place nine months later. In the days leading up to it, Bell wrote "I’ll need you soc sec no, and a fact sheet for publicity purposes if you have one. Also, your signed and sworn-to statement that you will not steal Robert Bly’s thesis from the library here in Poet City.” The letters become more intimate after this initial meeting, and in one of the last pieces of correspondence, dated August, 1972, Bell confided in Simic that he felt he might never write poetry again after the silence with which his collection "The Escape Into You" was received. "It has just sunk from sight." Bell eventually rallied, however, and went on to publish more than 20 books of poetry, was awarded a Guggenheim and two Fulbrights, and was named the first Poet Laureate of Iowa. Of special note is Bell's description teaching students at Goddard University Simic's most recent poetry collection "Dismantling the Silence": "You are, of course, the great stone poet. When they were putting together the Goddard journal, I told them I had a poem by Simic for it, and handed them a small stone. Big giggles. Love for your work. Also, I taught DISMANTLING THE SILENCE in my seminar here, which allowed us to place a small stone on the table and chant ‘Come out Charlie Simic, Come out.’ Some people thought you appeared. They liked your poems. I was renewed in my feeling that it’s a superb collection…If you were an imagist and not what you are (Lee says a mystic, which may be true, but I’ll settle for now just for metaphysical), I couldn’t be as amazed and moved by the poems as I am... One girl in the seminar, after we’d studied your book, said she felt you had things in common with pre-Raphaelite painters. She had a convincing explanation, and spoke partly of the ‘light’ in which you place objects in your poems.” A detailed inventory of the collection available upon request.

Title: Ouverture, Danses et Marche pour grand Orchestre tirées de l'opéra "Le Prince Igor
Author: BORODIN, Aleksandr 1833-1887
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Leipzig: M.P. Belaieff, 1889. Quarto. Original publisher's black cloth-backed printed wrappers with titling within decorative border. 1f. (recto decorative lithographic title by P. Buek printed in brown and black, verso blank), 3-91, [i] (blank) pp. Occasional markings in blue pencil. Wrappers slightly worn and foxed with small chips to edges. Browned; some signatures split; tears to pp. 27-30 with old tape repairs. With bookplate of noted collector David Wolman to verso of upper wrapper. First Edition, later issue. Prince Igor, in a prologue and four acts after a scenario by V.V. Stasov, was first performed in St. Petersburg at the Mariinsky Theatre on 23 October/4 November 1890. The opera, considered Borodin's greatest work, was unfinished at the time of his death; it was edited and completed by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov. "An extraordinary work created in nearly impossible conditions, Prince Igor clings to a place at the edge of the repertory owing to Borodin's skill in realizing the 'song and cantilena' to which, by his own confession, he was drawn." Robert W. Oldani in Grove Music Online.

Condition: Good
Description: Leipzig: Ludwig Denicke, [1867]. First edition. Hard cover. Good. 35 cm; [2],[2], and 30 color lithograph plates, including title page. Collation includes prospectus (dated 1867) and the preface by Joseph Anton Messmer (also dated 1867). All plates interleaved with blank tissue.
