Title: A SMALL COLLECTION OF DESIRABLE MINIATURE BOOKS, OFFERED AS A GROUP
Author: (MINIATURE BOOKS)
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: 1) FOUR EARLY 20TH CENTURY DIARIES. DE LA RUE'S CONDENSED DIARY AND ENGAGEMENT BOOK (FINGER SHAPE) FOR 1902, 1906, 1909, AND 1914. (London: De La Rue & Co., 1902-14) 77 x 24 mm. (3 x 1"). [34] leaves. Four separately issued annual volumes. Diaries with soft leather covers decorated in gilt (1902 in brown morocco, 1906 and 1906 in burgundy, 1914 in scarlet), 1902 diary IN A SILVER FILIGREE SLIPCASE, the others in matching morocco cases. 1902 diary with an address noted on Memorandum page, otherwise unused; other diaries with neatly written entries in pencil or pen. Front cover of 1902 diary slightly sunned, quarter-inch chip to tail of spine, corners and extremities of all books lightly rubbed from sliding in and out of cases, binding of 1914 book lightly soiled, but none of these issues significant, and the bindings and cases all generally very well preserved. 2) AVE MARIA. ([Budapest or Italy, ca.: 1970]) 10 x 11 mm. (3/8 x 7/16"). 6 unnumbered leaves, three of them blank. Charming burgundy calf, upper cover with the head of the Madonna tooled in gilt, flat spine with gilt bands. In a black pebble-grain morocco slipcase, nestled in fabric inside a 32 x 34 mm. metal box with latch. With a cross printed on the first leaf and a simple engraving of the Madonna's head on the second. Bondy, p. 156. Tiny (what else?) scratch to head of spine, otherwise A FINE SPECIMEN. This charming minuscule book contains the Latin text of the "Ave Maria" printed on one page. Bondy tells us there is some dispute about its origins, with Hungarian bibliophiles claiming it was printed in Budapest, and Italian collectors insisting it was Italy. Whatever its place of publication, it could scarcely be more charming, and it is certainly the most portable prayer book we have ever offered for sale. 3) CHURCH OF ENGLAND. BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. [with] HYMNS, ANCIENT AND MODERN. (Oxford: University Press, London: William Clowes, ca. 1920) 60 x 45 mm. (2 1/4 x 1 3/4"). 688 pp.; 859, [1] pp. Two works bound in one volume. Contemporary ivorine covers and spine, silk joints, metal (silver?) monogram mounted on upper cover, textured white endpapers, all edges gilt. Frontispiece of choir boys to first work, and of girls' choir to second. Upper corners of spine beginning to lift, silk joints a little worn, otherwise a fine specimen, clean and bright internally, in a well-preserved binding..

Title: Element geometriae infinitesimorum
Author: SALADINI, D. Hieronymo
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Bologna: S. Thomae Aquinatis, 1760. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Title-page in black and red with an engraved vignette of a putto with drafting instruments and an armillary sphere, 9 folding engraved plates. Contemporary boards; interior fine. An exceptionally nice uncut copy with very wide margins and an ownership inscription on the fly-leaf dated 1766. First and only edition. This was the first major work of the Italian mathematician Girolamo Saladini (1731-1813). Divided into three parts, various axioms and theorems are first proposed with 34 propositions and three scholia over the last two parts. Saladini makes several references to both Newton and Leibniz. Though little known today, Saladini together with the Venetian mathematician Vicenzo Riccati (1707-1775) published the first extensive treatise on integral calculus in their Institutiones analyticae (1765-1767), pre-dating Euler. Cajori, History of Mathematics, p. 221; DSB, XI, pp. 401-402 (Riccati).

Condition: Very Good
Description: London: Hamish Hamilton. Very Good. 1949. 5th printing. Hardcover. (lacking the original dust jacket, but encased in a professionally-made facsimile reproduction of the first British edition jacket; see 2nd image posted with this listing) [lightly shelfworn, spine turned, some dust-soiling to top of text block, minor pencil notes on rear endpaper]. Philip Marlowe sets out to investigate a stolen rare coin, and gets mixed up in ever-so-much-more trouble. Filmed twice, oddly enough, in the 1940s, both times by 20th Century-Fox (getting their money's worth, I guess): as TIME TO KILL (1943), a breezy entry in the "Michael Shayne" series, with Lloyd Nolan; and again as THE BRASHER DOUBLOON (1947), with George Montgomery as the least interesting Marlowe of them all. .
