Condition: Fine
Description: [Eilenburg]: Nikolaus Widemar, 1524. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Sewn. Housed in a folding chemise case. With a large title page woodcut of a German "Wildman" bearing a shield with the arms of Allstedt. Although "Allstedt" is cut into the woodblock on the title, the place of printing is Eilenburg. A fine copy with minor soiling and some mild edge-wear to the inner margin of the title and a small adhesion scar to the blank margin of the same leaf. First edition of this fiery manifesto written by the radical preacher Thomas Müntzer, one of the central figures of the Peasants' War, one of the bloodiest chapters in the turbulent early history of the German Reformation. A little more than a year after publishing his "Protestation", in May 1525, Müntzer would be defeated in battle and executed by beheading. His body was impaled and his head stuck on a stake, outside the gates of Mühlhausen, where it remained for years. By the time his "Protestation" appeared, in early 1524, Müntzer had already begun to radicalize the area of Allstedt, preaching that the ungodly were to be eliminated, the elect would establish a kingdom of Christ on earth, and threatening the political rulers of the area with rebellion. Müntzer divided the Allstedt citizenry into military units in order to resist any outside interference in his activities. He openly challenged and attacked Luther, who was opposed to Müntzer's ministry and would later write, "I killed Müntzer; his death is on my shoulders. But I did it because he wanted to kill my Christ". The "Protestation" is a window into the mind of Müntzer in the mature phase of his radicalization. In it, he defends his persecuted ministry and condemns the corruption and spiritual emptiness of the Catholic and Lutheran churches. Written in vivid, earthy language rich with biblical and domestic imagery, the "Protestation" was a radical theological manifesto, appealing beyond ecclesiastical power to a universal court of the faithful. Müntzer decries the hypocrisy and moral decay of conventional Christianity; contrasting its shallow comfort and corruption with the purity and suffering of true faith. The Protestation: In late 1523, Thomas Müntzer clashed with Count Ernest von Mansfeld, who tried to suppress Müntzer's growing religious influence under an imperial mandate forbidding new polemics. Müntzer responded defiantly, demanding an impartial tribunal of the "elect" to judge the accuracy of his teachings. Müntzer wrote "all I ask is that judgement should be delivered on me before the whole world and not in some obscure corner. For this I pledge myself, life and limb, scorning any devious defence by human hand." (transl. Matheson, 208) "It is absolutely crucial for Müntzer to demonstrate that it is only by way of despair, madness, error, crime, sin, unbelief - all adult prerogatives - that true initiation into faith can take place, as fear of the Lord becomes a sudden and desperate reality. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of all beginnings: the groaning, yearning of the elect friends of God, conscious of their virtual submergence in, and over-shadowing by, the towering arrogance of the godless. To reach the living waters of apostolic Christianity the elect have to turn their backs both on the hypocritical moralism of the Roman Church and on the counterfeit faith of the Lutherans, and to foster the disciplined nurture of their children in a Christ-formed life. (Matheson 184-186) The "Protestation" combined both a defense and a declaration of faith, portraying the church as corrupted by false authority, infant baptism, and spiritual blindness. Müntzer argued that true faith arises only through adult experience of despair and divine transformation, not through ritual or scholastic theology. He called for a rebirth of the apostolic Church through the spiritual baptism of the elect. "True baptism is no longer understood. The very foundations of the Church, as a result, are unsound, built on sand, on dregs. In reality this water baptism of children means that Christianity has become infantile, drunk on the wine of licentious living." (ibid. 184-193) He rails against "the unfaithful false scholars... who approve of gluttony and boozing and devote themselves to their lusts, living in luxury and snarling like dogs with sharp teeth if one contradicts one word they say. These fattened pigs are called false prophets by CHRIST; in their own eyes they are the clever ones." (ibid. 206) The Peasants War: The Peasants' War was one of the bloodiest chapters in the turbulent early history of the German Reformation. The uprising began in upper Swabia in early 1524 and quickly spread to southern and western Germany, as well as to parts of Switzerland and Austria. The peasants were motivated by a number of factors: crushing taxation, lack of a voice in government, no recourse to the courts, crop failure, and helplessness in the face of their feudal masters' demands. But whereas these conditions had resulted in smaller uprisings in the past, the massive rebellion of 1524-5 was also a result of the turbulent upheaval caused by the nascent Reformation. By the time the rebellion was crushed in late 1525, some 100,000 combatants and civilians had been killed. Reprisals were carried out for the next two years, and the peasants' demands, as outlined in their Twelve Articles, came to nothing.

Condition: Fine
Description: Basel: Episcopium F.[ratres], 1563. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in 17th c. French mottled sheep, spine richly tooled in gold (some light surface wear, mainly at the hinges and extremities; minor scuffs and two scrapes to the boards, all edges red.) Internally a very good copy, bound a little tight, with early marginal annotations (some cropped) and light foxing. The woodcut illustration of the Island of Utopia is on leaf d3. Printer's device on final leaf, verso. Upper and lower blank margins of title snipped away, shaving first word of title at top and imprint at foot. First edition of the collected Latin works of Sir Thomas More, including the "Utopia" illustrated with a full-page woodcut map. Among the letters published here for the first time is a letter to Martin Dorpius in which More defends Erasmus' translation of the New Testament from the Greek, thus clearly siding with the enlightened "new learning". It also contains a letter from Erasmus to Ulrich von Hutten which contains details of More's physical appearance. There are 9 letters from More to Erasmus, 1 of which concerns the portrait that Erasmus sent to More so that he could always be with him (See "Gifts for an absent friend" below.) The full-page illustration of the Island of Utopia is based on Ambrosius Holbein's woodcut from the 1518 Froben edition. "Utopia" begins with More's encounter with Raphael Hythloday (whose name means 'teller of tall tales'), a traveler who has just returned from voyages with Amerigo Vespucci. Hythloday tells More of a distant island called Utopia, where all property is held in common ownership, where six hours a day are devoted to work and the rest to recreation, where gold and silver are used not as currency but as the material for making shackles and chamber pots, and slaves (criminals and prisoners of war) are treated fairly. In its geography and topography, the island bears a striking resemblance to England. There are fifty-four city-states on the island, perhaps mirroring the number of shires in England and Wales (plus London) in More's time, and all are identical in languages, customs, and laws and similar in size, layout, and appearance. "More positioned his country somewhere in the New World (or, at least beyond the limits of the currently known world), for he states that his narrator, Raphael Hythlodaeus, participated in the last three of Amerigo Vespucci's four voyages. On the final voyage, Hythlodaeus did not come home with Vespucci; rather, he continued his explorations and ultimately discovered Utopia, where he lived for five years before, miraculously, returning to Europe on a Portuguese vessel. Hythlodaeus's descriptions of his residence in Utopia provide the heart of the piece."(Delaney) Gifts for an absent friend: The Portraits of Erasmus and Gillis: The volume also includes Thomas More's letters to Peter Gillis (in whose garden More had conceived of the "Utopia") and Erasmus, in which he thanks his friends for the portraits of themselves that they had sent to More as gifts. The two men had commissioned the leading Antwerp painter of the day, Quentin Matsys, to paint the two portraits as a dyptich. The idea behind the gift being that, through these portraits, Erasmus and Gillis could always be close to their friend. More received the paintings in October 1517 at Calais (where he was on embassy for Henry VIII.) "More wrote from Calais to thank each donor, asking each to show his letter to the other. He surely took his new treasure with him when he returned to London in December. More's letter to Erasmus acknowledges receipt of the diptych (tabula duplex), praises the artist's handiwork and rejoices at his own good luck in having such friends. His letter to Gillis encloses a brace of Latin epigrams, one in elegiac couplets and another in hexameters, which he has made in honor of the gift. Gillis is to pass these on to Erasmus if he thinks them fit for such eyes; otherwise he is to burn them. In the first, the diptych is the speaker: 'I bear witness that Erasmus and Gillis are as dear friends as were Castor and Pollux long ago. More is sad to be parted from them, though affection joins them to him as closely as to himself. In turn they were sad that their absent friend should miss them. An affectionate letter brings More their inward thoughts, but I bring their outward appearance.' "In the second, longer, epigram More represents himself as speaking. Anyone, he says, will recognize the sitters, even though he has never seen them, for one [Gillis] is holding a letter addressed to himself, and the other [Erasmus] is actually writing his own name. If this did not give Erasmus away, the titles written on the books in the portrait would do so: they are famous the world over. Quentin, the rival of Apelles, ought to have entrusted such images to a medium more enduring than wood, if he wished to make certain that his own name would endure. What a price posterity would pay for such a picture! The letter goes on to praise Matsys for his skill, especially in his accurate imitation, on the letter in Gillis's hand, of More's own handwriting. 'Unless', he says, 'either of you has some other use for the letter, send it back to me. Put up beside the picture it will make it seem more wonderful than ever'. In a later letter to Erasmus, still from Calais, on 25th October, More renews his thanks for the gift and in another of 5th November, to the same from the same city, he mentions the diptych again and retails the judgment of Cuthbert Tunstal, friend, fellow-ambassador and later his Bishop, on his verses. "Of Thomas More's letter to Gillis with the verses only one manuscript survives. This is not autograph, but a transcript by an amanuensis of Erasmus's ('Hand B') in the contemporary Deventer copybook of Erasmus's correspondence. The text of the letter was soon in circulation in humanist Europe via one of the printed collections of Erasmus's letters, where the epigrams are preceded by a rubric: 'Verses on a diptych in which Erasmus and Pieter Gillis are depicted together by the skilful artificer Quentin, in such a way that the books [in the background of the portrait of] Erasmus beginning [to write] his Paraphrase of the Epistle to the Romans display their titles; and Pieter holds in his hand a letter of More's addressed to him, which the painter has also delineated.' "This rubric is clearly an addition, perhaps by Beatus Rhenanus, making More's statement more explicit."(Lorne Campbell, Margaret Mann Philipps, Hubertus Schulte Herbrüggen, and J. B. Trapp, "Quentin Matsys, Desiderius Erasmus, Pieter Gillis and Thomas More" in The Burlington Magazine, Vol. 120, No. 908, Special Issue Devoted to Portraiture and Britain (Nov., 1978), pp. 716-725).

Title: Correspondence from Julia Child to Beverly Jackson, with photographs and other materials
Author: Child, Julia; Beverly Jackson
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: [Santa Barbara; Cambridge, 2003. A convolute of correspondence, photographs, and other materials documenting the relationship between American icon Julia Child, and Beverly Jackson, reporter, novelist, collector, and a legend of the social circles of Santa Barbara. The two were long-time friends, and neighbors in Santa Barbara's Montecito. ~ Contents: Fifteen original note cards or postcards, typed or handwritten, signed by Julia Child; one TLS; one fax, and one TLS in photocopy. Some on Child's Montecito Shores, Santa Barbara stationery, some on notecards of Julia Child Productions (SB), and some on notecards from the Irving Street, Cambridge home. Most of the correspondence is short, polite "thank yous" and quick inquiries, for visits, meals shared, etc. ~ Eight original photographs (various sizes & dates), including black and white press print by Alan Berliner (of Julia with Robert Mondavi and Robert Balzer); Julia with Reginald Faletti (1978) by Jackson; color snapshots of Julia in her kitchen, elsewhere signing a book with Beverly Jackson and Jacques Pepin; Julia and others on the ground at a picnic; Julia on a fishing boat (1983); Julia Paul and others at an outdoor event (Jackson, n.d.). ~ Materials related to a 1993 special charity dinner saluting Julia on her 80th Birthday. Included are The program for the event; "Julia Child, Merci Julia", an ink jet typescript, 15 pages of an account of the birthday event, its planning and execution, by Jackson; and original menu for the event, with notes by Jackson; an original photo (sepia toned?) with attendees of the event including Jackson, Celia Chang, Alice Waters, and Ruth Reichl, wearing original East Asian textiles (likely taken at Jackson's home – she was a collector of rare Asian garments and textiles); and a comb-bound book of recipe contributions, some on original stationery and some in photocopy, from the event's many chefs (at least forty-four, including: David Bouley, Arianne Duguin, Daniel Boulud, Hubert Keller, Gray Kunz, Gilbert le Coze, Sirio Maccioni, Drew Nieporent, Jean-Louis Palladin, Alain Sailhac, Joachim Spichal, and others). As the menu book is compiled from both original and photocopy recipes from the chefs, the number of copies of this book made must have been very small (ten or fewer, I would expect).

Title: Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of Its Causes
Author: Babbage, Charles
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: London: B. Fellowes, 1830. First edition. RARE SCATHING DIATRIBE AGAINST THE ROYAL SOCIETY BY ENGLISH ORIGINATOR OF THE CONCEPT OF THE DIGITAL COMPUTER--COPY OF PROMINENT JOURNALIST OF THE PERIOD. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches hardcover, 3/4 brown calf with marbled cloth boards, spine with raised bands, gilt, with red leather label gilt, marbled edges and endpapers, bookplate to front paste-down, ink signature of George Augustus Sala on paper affixed to front free endpaper, xvi,+ 228,+ (4). Cover edges worn, scattered foxing, binding tight, very good. CHARLES BABBAGE (1792-1871) was an English polymath, mathematician, philosopher, inventor and originator of the concept of a digital programmable computer. In The Exposition of 1851, or Views of the Industry, the Science and the Government of England (1851) he pointed out the shortcomings of the British educational system. His Reflections on the Decline of Science and some of its Causes (offered here) aimed to improve British science, and more particularly to oust Davies Gilbert as President of the Royal Society, which Babbage wished to reform. It was written out of pique, when Babbage hoped to become the junior secretary of the Royal Society, as Herschel was the senior, but failed because of his antagonism to Humphry Davy. Michael Faraday had a reply written, by Gerrit Moll, as On the Alleged Decline of Science in England (1831). On the front of the Royal Society Babbage had no impact, with the bland election of the Duke of Sussex to succeed Gilbert the same year. As a broad manifesto, on the other hand, his Decline led promptly to the formation in 1831 of the British Association for the Advancement of Science. HISTORICAL CONTEXT: Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, and on Some of Its Causes is one of seven early 19th century science books described in James Secord's Visions of Science: Books and Readers at the Dawn of the Victorian Age (2014). These seven books, "fire the imagination of a generation that believed science was on the verge of transforming the human condition. ... The Decline of Science portrayed English science as moribund and corrupt, and looked to the Continent, especially to France, for models of scientific reform. Appearing in May 1830, the book sold badly—it went through only one edition, probably of less than 750 copies—but it stirred up a storm of discussion, debate, and distress. Much of the argument in Decline revolves around the issue of how research should be communicated in print, and how its results should be made available to various audiences. Independently wealthy and educated at Cambridge, Babbage had a wide acquaintance with metropolitan literary and political circles, which he used, through his famous evening parties in his house at Dorset Street, to raise the position of science in national life. Like a true accountant, the narrator of Decline directed his fire at those who worked for pay, whether for the state, for a public company, or for a learned society. The book named names, and claimed not to hide criticisms of individuals under general condemnation. Young men were currently discouraged from cultivating science after leaving university because science—unlike medicine, the clergy, law, and the military—was not 'a distinct profession', with status and pay. The taxonomy of fraud in Decline provided a tool whereby science could assume its rightful status as a completely open enterprise, comprehensible not just to adepts and experts, but to 'ordinary understandings' more likely to be fooled or misled. The most significant long-term effect of Decline was to open a general discussion of the political economy of intellectual life, the suppression of ignorance and fraud, and the promotion of the use of knowledge for human needs, would best be served by secular—not religious education; for among the unenlightened, even true religion was tinged by 'superstition' and developed irrational habits of thought." PROVENANCE: GEORGE AUGUSTUS HENRY SALA (1828 - 1895), was an English journalist. He had become in 1857 a contributor to the Daily Telegraph, and it was in this capacity that he did his most characteristic work, whether as a foreign correspondent in all parts of the world, or as a writer of "leaders" or special articles. His literary style, highly colored, bombastic, egotistic, and full of turgid periphrases, gradually became associated by the public with their conception of the Daily Telegraph; and though the butt of the more scholarly literary world, his articles were invariably full of interesting matter and helped to make the reputation of the paper. He collected a large library and had an elaborate system of keeping common-place books, so that he could be turned on to write upon any conceivable subject with the certainty that he would bring into his article enough show or reality of special information to make it excellent reading for a not very critical public. In 1892, when his popular reputation was at its height, he started a weekly paper called Sala's Journal, but it was a disastrous failure; and in 1895 he had to sell his library of 13,000 volumes (one of which is offered here). His name goes down to posterity as perhaps the most popular and most voluble of the newspaper men of the period.

Description: Stuttgart: Anton Hiersemann Verlag, 1996. cloth. Games. 4to. cloth. 472 pages. Hiersemanns bibliographische Handbücher, 12. First edition. A fine copy. With b&w illustrations. In particular, cultural historians, game researchers, game collectors and inventors, librarians, antiquarians, and major auction houses around the world have had to do without a comprehensive bibliography of old gamebooks. Game studies, in particular, as one of the newest branches of cultural history, but also interdisciplinary disciplines such as law, theology, medicine, psychology, pedagogy, and others, have until now relied on chance discoveries and knowledge. This book is the first volume of the two-part bibliography of gamebooks and covers all practical theoretical and literary individual prints from the time of incunabula to 1700 that exclusively or predominantly deal with games. This includes all kinds of game instruction books (rulebooks, instructions for magic tricks and scientific games, educational game books, conversation games, lotteries and oracle games, etc.), scientific treatises (historical, philological, legal, moral, pedagogical, medical, and other studies), texts on probability theory, provided they relate to games, poetry, drama, and prose, printed musical works, and illustrated presentations in book form. The term "game" is understood in its core meaning, i.e., texts on festivals, tournaments, and sports in the modern sense are not included, but ball and movement games are. The language area covered is European, including Latin, but excluding Slavic and Scandinavian languages; the latter will be added in the second volume. The precise and detailed title and description of the printed works includes the naming of the various editions and editions, references to sources and secondary literature, a commentary with biographical, textual, and content information, and the location of the works with the library's call number. Three indexes: Authors, Editors, Translators, Editors; Printers, Publishers, Booksellers; and Games, complement the information in the main entries and are intended to facilitate the targeted retrieval of relevant information. Selected illustrations from the printed works (title plates, frontispieces) document the iconographic aspect of these texts. The introduction, presented in German, English, and French, analyzes the bibliographical context and historical development of the works included.
