Description
23; 49; 54; 62; 62 (of 64, lacking two leaves); 36; 46; 53; 59 folding leaves. Nine vols. 8vo (271 x 175 mm.), modern wrappers, new stitching. [Sakai?]: [Privately Printed] for Asaino Sōzui 阿佐井野宗瑞, dated 1528 in Postscript. First edition, privately published, of the first medical book to be printed in Japan. This is the best-known work of the sakaiban 堺版 editions, whose appearance in the port city of Sakai (just south of Osaka) marked the beginning of private/commercial publishing in late medieval Japan. The printing of secular texts was new for Japan, especially for commercial purposes. It was a sign of the beginning of modernity in the island nation, ushering in a new climate of independent thinking. This is a rare book, with WorldCat locating only the very incomplete UCSF copy. Kosoto Hiroshi, one of the leading historians of Japanese medicine, describes the significance of this work as follows: “The Isho taizen is the earliest printed medical book in our country [Japan]. The collection of medical recipes based on this work, the Ihō taiseiron 医方大成論, was the most widely circulated medical book in the early to mid-Edo period (1603-1868). The significance of the Isho taizen for the history of medicine in Japan can therefore be considered extraordinarily profound” (「名方類証医書大全」解題, appended to 和刻漢籍医書集成, Vol. 7, エンタプライズ 1989, p. 2). The 15th and 16th centuries witnessed a rapid inflow of newly developed Chinese medical knowledge into Japan, where it came to be highly regarded among medical practitioners. Japanese physicians such as Tashiro Sanki 田代三喜 (1465-1544) and Saka Jō’un 坂浄運 (n.d.), for example, travelled to Ming China in the 1480s-90s and brought back the medical learnings of Li Dongyuan 李東垣, Zhu Danxi 朱丹溪, and others that had developed there during the Mongol Yuan period, and these teachings later became the foundations of major medical lineages in Japan. But beyond the travel of individual physicians to China, a more extensive exchange of medical knowledge unfolded through the official Sino-Japanese trade, which took place a total of 19 times between 1401 and 1549. The city of Sakai, as being a major port for the trade, saw a substantial influx of Chinese merchandise that included printed books on various topics. A diary entry by the abbot of the Kaieji temple 海会寺 in Sakai dated to 1484 mentions a number of Ming medical texts brought into Japan on merchant ships, including the Isho taizen, which was already garnering popular attention (久保尾俊郎, “阿佐井野宗瑞と「医書大全」の出版,” pp. 162-63). Within the context of Ming medicine, the Isho taizen (or, as it was known in China, Yishu daquan) was a compendium of medical prescriptions and recipes that aimed to make specialized knowledge of literati-physicians (Ch. ruyi 儒醫) much more accessible to the common folk. The genre of printed collections of prescriptions (Ch. fangshu 方書) goes back to the earliest instances of woodblock publishing in China, when the Song court commissioned works like the Taiping shenghui fang 太平聖惠方 (992 CE) as demonstrations of imperial benevolence. The genre quickly became controversial among physicians, who found that too many patients now placed greater trust in published prescription books than in their own doctors (Angela Ki-che Leung, “Medical Learning from the Song to the Ming,” in The Song-Yuan-Ming Transition in Chinese History, pp. 375-78). Nevertheless, such works continued to be compiled and published. One important publication in the tradition was the Leibian jingyan yifang dacheng 類編經驗醫方大成 of Sun Yunxian 孫允賢, Preface dated 1321, which drew from no fewer than 19 prescription books already in circulation. The collection was expanded a few decades later by Xiong Yanming 熊彥明, who listed at least six more prescription collections in his bibliography. His book was understood to be a synthesis of “Northern” and “Southern” medical approaches under Yuan rule, after two medical traditions had developed separately during the century and a half of Jin-Song division (范家偉, “從《類編南北經驗醫方大成》論元代南北醫學融合,” 文史哲 2024.4, pp. 70-78). Xiong Yanming’s work formed the basis of the Yishu daquan, which was published in 1446 by his descendent Xiong Zongli 熊宗立 (1409-81, alias Jun 均), best remembered not as a physician but as the first of the influential Xiong family of publishers based in Jianyang in Fujian. The medical heritage of the Xiong family and the personal inclinations (and to some degree, expertise) of Xiong Zongli left its imprint on the family’s publishing enterprise: not only was the Xiong printing house initially named Weisheng tang 衛生堂 — i.e., Hall for the Protection of Life — and only later changed to Zhongde tang 種德堂, no fewer than 32 of the 40-some Xiong Zongli published in his lifetime were medical works, including reprints of well-known titles (to which he added extensive edits and commentaries) and a few of his own compilations (Lucille Chia, Printing for Profit, Chap. 5). According to Xiong Zongli’s Preface to the Yishu daquan, dated Zhengtong 11 (1446), the work was originally a collection of recipes he had gathered over the years for personal use, due to his weak constitution since childhood. A different Preface, by Wu Gao 吳高, dated 1458 offers a brief biography of Xiong Zongli and more extensive praise for the work itself, stating that it was clearly and accessibly organized into 24 categories of sickness, comprehensive rather than overly specialized, and made its prescriptions (some of which were secret transmissions within the Xiong family) accessible to people who lived in distant lands or remote regions where physicians might be scarce. The Yishu daquan did, indeed, travel to lands more distant than Xiong Zongli could have anticipated. During or shortly after his lifetime, the Sino-Japanese trade route brought copies of the work to the city of Sakai, which after the Ōnin War (1467-77) that led to Kyoto’s downfall as a national political and publishing center, was quickly gaining importance and influence as a city of commerce. Asaino Sōzui 阿佐井野宗瑞 (1473-1532), born to a family long known in the region for its power and wealth, took an interest in Chinese medicine. Reportedly fascinated by stories of famous doctors in the archaic past, Sōzui studied under Gesshū Jukei 月舟寿桂 (1470-1533), a renowned Zen monk in Kyoto who was well-versed in medical learning (久保尾俊郎, “阿佐井野宗瑞と「医書大全」の出版”). While some scholars have held that Sōzui practiced medicine himself and was particularly well-known as a gynecologist, his major contribution to Japanese medical history was undoubtedly the publication of the Isho taizen in Daiei 8 (1528), based on a 1467 Chinese edition of the Yishu daquan. For this publication, Gesshū composed the following Preface (in trans.): “In our country many woodblocks have been carved for the printing of Confucian and Buddhist books, but there have never been any for medical recipes. The benefits and healing brought to the people have therefore been sparse. Recently the Isho taizen has arrived from the Great Ming, and it is the utmost treasure for those who practice medicine. Unfortunately, copies of this book are few, and many who look for it have been unable to find a copy. Asaino Sōzui of Sennan has now commissioned the woodblocks for its printing using his own funds, and three errors in the Ming edition have been mended by cross-referencing other texts. Otherwise, the text has not been altered in the slightest. His intention was not for profit but rather for benefitting all who dwell under the heaven. How wonderful! May the recompense for his virtuous deeds be perpetually bestowed upon future generations.” It is worthwhile to note that the publication of the Isho taizen marked an important event not only in the history of Japanese medicine but also in the history of publishing. The Asaino family would go on to publish editions of the Analects (1533) and Santaishi 三体詩 (n.d.), an anthology of Chinese poetry. These editions are collectively referred to as Asaino-ban. Appearing at a time when publishing in Japan was still dominated by Buddhist monastic printing of canonical texts, “the editions of Sakai reflected a new climate in which secular tastes were exalted. These works were published by independent aesthetes, and they symbolized the pioneering movements that emerged during the transition from medieval to modern times” (“Sakai-ban,” Dictionnaire historique du Japon). With the growing popularity of printing Chinese texts in the 14th-16th centuries, Chinese woodcarvers came to Japan. The books they carved, like ours, follow their native country’s tradition of somewhat dense and crowded pages, caused by packing the Chinese characters tightly together with more regard for economy of space than for aesthetic effect. Red square seals on the first folio of each volume read 金合文庫 and 小林蔵書. These are the personal seals of Kobayashi Hideo 小林秀雄 (1902-83), a famous author, literary critic, book collector, and antiques dealer in Japan. A green rectangular seal on the first folio of each volume reads 四阿 (?), of unidentified ownership. Kosoto Hiroshi’s 1989 survey finds a total of 27 records of complete or near-complete copies of the Isho taizen, including some known to have been lost. A number of extant copies, ours included, lack Xiong Zongli’s separately printed genealogy of medicine, titled Igaku genryū, which Asaino Sōzui printed. As mentioned above, two leaves of text are missing from the fifth volume. We find only one entry in WorldCat for this edition, a highly incomplete copy held at UCSF (1253312180).

Description
[Chicago and New Orleans]: September, 1967. [21] leaves, illustrated with ninety-nine photographs, mostly black-and-white but some in color. All ninety-nine images with a printed caption in the margin reading, "Sep 67."Square folio. Contemporary red leatherette, stamped in gilt on front cover, string tied. Minor wear, some images loose. Very good. An important photographic record of a notable moment in the interplay between the Civil Rights Movement, the Black Power Movement, and 1960s white liberalism, documenting the 1967 National Conference on New Politics (NCNP) in Chicago. Simon Hall, in his 2003 article in Journal of American Studies entitled "On the Trail of the Panther: Black Power and the 1967 Convention of the National Conference for New Politics," described the event as "one of the most ambitious attempts to forge a broad political alliance of antiwar organizations, New Left insurgents, and the radical wing of the Civil Rights Movement in 1960s America." The album is captioned on the inside front cover: "The National Conference on New Politics Aug. 31 - Sept. 4, 1967 Palmer House, Chicago." Seventy-five images document the conference, many captioned on the album leaves, identifying speakers, attendees, and settings, or providing commentary. Chief among the delegates to the conference was Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. who delivered the keynote address on the first night. The title of the speech was "The Three Evils of Society," which King defined as “the sickness of racism, excessive materialism, and militarism.” The present album includes five candid shots of King from that night. These include four shots of King at the microphones during his keynote address, three with captions that read "There are no communists at this conference," "I am not a member of 60 communist fronts," and "We do not believe in violence but rather civil disobedience on a vaster scale than ever before," respectively. The fourth photograph of King shows him sitting with Ralph Abernathy and Michael Wood, this image captioned, "Center: Michael Wood of the Nat'l Student Assn who blew the whistle on the CIA." In addition to the photographs of Dr. King, the album includes dozens of candid shots of conference participants that reads like a who's-who of civil rights and Black Power activists of the moment, including members of SCLC, SNCC, CORE, and the Black Panthers. These portraits memorialize the conference participation of Julian Bond, Dick Gregory, Ralph Abernathy (one of which catches him sleeping during King's speech and is humorously captioned, "The alert audience of ML King"), Hunter Pitts "Jack" O'Dell, Floyd McKissick, James Foreman, Lois Allen, Vietnam War protester Private Ronald Lockman, and a woman from the "Miss[issippi] Freedom Demo[cratic] Party" who appears to be Victoria Jackson Gray Adams. The album also pictures white members of the New Left or sympathetic supporters of the civil rights movement, such as Dr. Benjamin Spock, Dr. Donna Allen (Women's Strike for Peace), Simon Casady (influential California Democrat), William Pepper (Executive Secretary of NCNP), Clark Kissinger (National Secretary of the Students for a Democratic Society), and Robert Scheer (publisher of the radical Ramparts magazine). The album also includes some shots of other unnamed notables and additional attendees, views from the main conference floor, a display of posters featuring "Heroes of the National Liberation Movement" such as Che Guevara, Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael, and book displays by vendors such as the Progressive Labor Party, Marxist publisher Lou Diskin, CADRE (Chicago Area Draft Resistors), and the Student Mobilization Committee. An additional twenty-four color images picture H. Rap Brown (Jamil Abdulla al-Amin) and various scenes in New Orleans during Brown's trial for weapons charges in September 1967. Brown was a fiery activist who was that time serving as the fifth chairman of SNCC, a post he held from May 1967 to June 1968. Incongruously, Brown was a controversial head of SNCC for his constant calls for violent political action, and even served a dual role as the head of SNCC and as Minister of Justice for the Black Panther Party in 1968. The first page of images featuring Brown in the present album is captioned: "Rap Brown in New Orleans. Arraigned on carrying a weapon in interstate while under criminal indictment in Maryland for inciting to riot & arson" (referring to the riot in Cambridge, Maryland earlier that summer). Seventeen of these images show Brown and his lawyers talking to reporters outside the courthouse, then continuing to do so as Brown walks down the street and gets into a car. Seven of the images show various street scenes around New Orleans. Brown's trial was going on at the same time as the National Conference in Chicago. As such, a handful of the latter images show James Foreman of SNCC who, according to the manuscript caption, "spoke for H. Rap Brown" at the conference. At the time, Foreman was the International Affairs Director for SNCC. The conference was an odd combination of white liberals, Civil Rights legends, and Black Power advocates which, according to a contemporary source "brought black militants and much of the white left into occasional dialogue and frequent chaos." A retrospective "This Week in History" piece in the Chicago Sun Times in 2021 set the scene of the conference and detailed Dr. King's keynote speech: "A haven for liberal politicians and supporters, the National Conference for New Politics took place over Labor Day weekend in 1967. The Chicago Sun-Times extensively covered the conference where politicos, activists and anti-war advocates mixed and mingled to excite their base and prepare for the upcoming election season. The highlight of the convention came on Aug. 31 when Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. took to the stage to deliver the keynote address to 4,000 people at the Chicago Coliseum. 'The promise of a Great Society has been shipwrecked off the coast of Asia on the dreadful pinnacle of Vietnam,' he told conference-goers. The war, he said, 'has torn up the Geneva agreement, seriously impaired the United Nations, exacerbated the hatreds between continents and worse still between races: it has frustrated our development at home....If the will of the people continues to be unheeded, all men of good will must create a situation in which the 1967-68 elections are made a referendum on the war,' he said. 'The American people must have an opportunity to vote into oblivion those who cannot detach themselves from militarism.' King’s speech touched on more than the Vietnam War. He called for a national employment agency, noting that capitalism 'was built on the exploitation and suffering of Black slaves and continues to thrive on the exploitation of the poor -- both Black and white -- both here and abroad.' The activist referred to racism as 'that corrosive evil that will bring down the curtain on Western civilization.' King received a standing ovation after his speech.

Mexico City: Privately Printed, 1925. [2], 8, [2 blanks] pp. Original staples and detached original printed wrappers. At head of title: "Expunged from the Record ---." Except as noted, Very Good. Dr. Wright, a physician, is "remembered because of the regrettable circumstances surrounding his death. . . When Federal troops entered Norfolk on 10 May 1862, the noncombatant citizens were permitted to carry on undisturbed and peacefully. As a physician Wright was accorded the same privileges. This changed for him on 11 July 1863. . . . According to the newspapers, Wright was walking on the sidewalk near his home when he met a column of African American troops occupying the entire walk, jostling men, women and children into the gutter" [NCpedia on line, internal quotation marks omitted]. This behavior offended Wright, whose remarks prompted white Lieutenant Sanborn to confront him. Shots were fired, Sanborn was killed, and Wright was arrested and tried. Found guilty, he was hanged and "thereby came to be considered a martyr to the Southern cause and a hero" [id,] We don't know why this account of the affray and tribute to Wright was printed in Mexico in 1925. OCLC 24864594 [1- UNC] as of July 2024.

San Francisco: Journal of Commerce Press, 1897 Book. Fine. Hardcover. Reprint (c. 1897-8) of the exceedingly rare 1850 first edition of which there are only a handful of known copies. 12mo. 139pp. Gilt-lettered maroon cloth. Spine ever so slightly faded, else a fine and bright copy. Second reprint of the exceedingly rare 1850 first edition of which there are only approximately 5 or 6 known copies. Very scarce in this condition as this little reprint is most often found with an extremely faded spine and sides along with some wear.The fading to the spine on this copy is very minimal. Includes a section of the names of various settlers who lived in San Francisco in 1850 omitted in the original edition, with the added names of two "Donahoes" (inserted only in this second reprint). Beyond the multitude of San Francisco citizens, this little directory includes a section on street names, City government offices Superior Court, police, Post Office (only one, at the corner of Clay and Dupont), express offices, churches, newspapers, and a section of Business Advertisements. The original 1850 edition is exceedingly rare; we have seen only one copy (in private hands) in fifty years. This late 19th century facsimile is becoming quite scarce, especially in this condition.
