Title: Sprüchwörter Gemeiner Tütscher nation, erstlich durch Sebastian Francken gesammlet, nüwlich aber in kommliche ordnung gestellt und gebessert
Author: FRANCK, Sebastian (1499-1542/43)
Seller: Govi Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: "UN SUCCÈS IMMENSE" (GRATET-DUPLESSIS) Two parts in one volume, 8vo (153x100 mm). [8], ccxlvii, [1 blank]; [4], cxcii leaves. Collation: *8 a-z8 A-H8; †4 aa-zz8 Aa8. Leaf H8 is a blank. Contemporary blind-tooled pigskin over wooden boards dated 1558 and signed with the initials "A.K." (repeated in manuscript at the bottom of the title page), two clasps preserved (slightly soiled, spine rubbed). Stamp of "Menno P.W. de Limburg" on the front pastedown and flyleaf. A superb copy with some contemporary annotations and underlining in brown ink. Second edition (the first was printed in Frankfurt by C. Egenolff in 1541) of this fundamental and incredibly successful collection of seven thousand proverbs, recast in Swiss German by the printer, newly arranged by subject by Konrad Pellikan (1478-1556) and provided with an index for each part. Some of the German proverbs are accompanied by Latin equivalents. This second edition is the only one, along with the first, to include Franck's name in the title; all subsequent editions omit him. "Une édition publiée à Zurich, vers 1545, porte également au titre le nom de Seb. Franck, mais elle offre un travail particulier de l'éditeur, car les Proverbes y sont distribués par ordre alphabétique et s'y trouvent énoncés dans le dialecte allemand particulier à la Suisse […] J'ai déjà dit quelques mots de cette édition qui donne les Proverbes de Franck distribués par ordre alphabétique et exprimés dans le dialecte allemand usité en Suisse. Elle est fort rare, et présente, dans sa spécialité, un intérêt qui lui est propre" (P.-A. Gratet-Duplessis, Bibliographie parémiologique, Paris, 1847, pp. 326 and 328). "Die folkloristisch bedeutende Sprichwörtersammlung Sebastian Francks, die erstmals 1541 bei Egenolf zu Frankfurt erschienen war, gab Froschauer 1545 in durch Konrad Pellikan ausgearbeiteter Neuordnung heraus (Rud. 318). Als Drucker und Verleger zeichnet Christophs Bruder Eustachius, der dem umfangreichen Oktavbande eine Vorrede vorausschickte" (P. Leemann-Van Elck, Die Offizin Froschauer, Zurich-Leipzig, 1940, p. 92). The proverbs are taken from folklore, contemporary speech, classical languages and the dialects of north-western Europe. Fables and stories of common folk and powerful people complete the entries. Generations of writers have plundered the collection for ideas and phrases. In the Proverbs Franck conveys practical rules of life and wisdom for the common reader. At the same time, he places his theological program in a traditional cultural context by translating Jewish, ancient and national language collections of proverbs into German. "Sebastian Franck (Eleutherius) was born at Donauwörth, in Swabia, studied in Ingolstadt and Heidelberg, and took holy orders in the diocese of Augsburg. In 1527 he served as a Lutheran pastor near Nürnberg, but one year later he joined the Anabaptist community in the imperial city. This association did not last long either, and in 1529 Franck moved to Strasbourg, where he tried to settle down as a writer and private scholar. He maintained personal contacts with such radical religious thinkers as Kaspar Schwenckfeld, Hans Denck, Johannes Bünderlin, Johannes Cam-panus, and perhaps also with Michael Servetus, who came to Strasbourg in 1531 to debate with Capito and Bucer. Denck and Bünderlin seem to have exerted a decisive influence upon Franck, who became more and more critical of all ecclesiastical institutions and adopted a fully spiritualist position. After having been expelled from Strasbourg in 1531 he spent some time at Esslingen, where he tried to make a living as a soap-boiler. In 1532 he moved to Ulm, where he set up a printing shop. His writings provoked the wrath of the Lutheran preachers, and on the initiative of Martin Frecht he was eventually banished again in 1539. After further wanderings he settled in Basel in 1541. He acquired citizenship and again started his printing business, but after little more than a year he died. Franck's literary activity began in 1527-8 with a German translation of Andreas Althamer's Diallage against Hans Denck (Nürnberg 1528) and with the tract Von dem grewlichen Laster der Trunckenheit (Augsburg 1528). The Paradoxa (Ulm: J. Varnier 1534), the Guldin Arch (Augsburg: H. Steiner 1538), and the Verbütschiert ... Buch (1539) are the main reflections of his spiritualism. His historical thought can be studied in the Türkenchronik (Nürnberg 1529) and in the Germaniae Chronicon (Frankfurt: C. Egenolff 1538) but above all in the Chronica, Zeytbuch und Geschichtbybell (Strasbourg: B. Beck 1531; Ulm]. Varnier 1536). Among his other writings are the cosmographic Weltbuch (1533), a Latin paraphrase of the Theologia Deutsch, and the Kriegsbüchlein des Frides (Augsburg: H. Steiner 1539), which became important as a landmark in the history of pacifist thought. A number of Franck's minor writings were published in Dutch editions only. Sebastian Franck was one of the great religious individualists of his age; he was a lonely and isolated advocate of peace and an imperturbable critic of religious persecution, because he believed that God alone recognizes the true heretics. After many disappointing experiences with the Roman church, Lutheranism, and Anabaptism he dissociated himself from all religious parties; he had no followers and did not found his own religious movement. His life was a vagrant journey from one city to another because his attempts to settle down were thwarted almost everywhere. Franck respected Erasmus very highly and often quoted from the humanist's writings. His skepticism of dogmatic formalism and his pacifist ideas clearly show marks of Erasmus' influence. In 1534 Franck wrote a German translation of the Moria. Erasmus, on the other hand, did not show much appreciation for Franck's work. Franck's expulsion from Strasbourg in 1531 was in fact due to a complaint which Erasmus had submitted to the city government because the author of the Geschichtoybell had listed him among the great and unjustly persecuted heretics of Christendom" (H.R. Guggisberg, Sebastian Franck, in: "Contemporaries of Erasmus", Toronto-Buffalo-London, 1986, II, pp. 53-54). K. Kaczerowsky, Sebastian Franck Bibliographie, Wiesbaden, 1976, A-161; M.

Title: Atlas. Nos. 1 (1985) through 4 (1993) (all published)
Seller: Arthur Fournier Fine & Rare (United States)
Description: 1st Edition. A complete set of artist-publisher Jake Tilson's multimedia travel and art serial, with texts in English, French and German, profusely illustrated throughout with tipped in plates and bound in extras. 4to. Very good. Illus. stiff wraps, extremities rubbed. [438] As featured in Eye Magazine, Winter 1990: "In 1985, Tilson's Woolley Dale Press published the first edition of Atlas, an occasional magazine whose title neatly encapsulates his obsession with mapping, or re-mapping, the world. Atlas has become progressively more assured with each issue. Lacking formal training in graphic design and reprographic method, Tilson has taught himself by trial and error as he goes along. He keeps marked-up samples of typesetting and annotates proof copies with tint specifications so he knows which effects to avoid or repeat. The process of research, commissioning (contributors range from the painter Antoni Tàpies to cartoonist Steven Appleby), writing, design and production is a one-man labour of love. Atlas 3 evolved 'organically' from Tilson's first sketchbook ideas to eventual publication, two years later in 1988, in a trilingual, offset litho-printed edition of 2,500 with assorted hand-applied extras."

Condition: Very Good
Description: Photographic Image. Very Good. No Binding. Collection of three black and white photograph prints taken of an unknown nude male model taken by an unknown photographer. The model is seen posing with a long bamboo staff, a classic prop for the beefcake era of photography. Beefcake photography took hold in the 1950s, characterized by a rise in published homoerotic photographs of nude male models and bodybuilders. One of the three photographs was printed blank on the edges, but the entire model can be seen. There is also some curling to the edges of all three photographs, but otherwise they are in very good condition. .
