Description
1619. 73; 67; 57; 70; 69; 56; 52; 74; 73 folding leaves. Ten juan in nine vols. Large 8vo, orig. wrappers, new stitching. [Japan]: from final leaf of final volume (in trans.): “ninth month September 1619.” First movable type edition printed in Japan, and a very rare book; there is apparently no copy in WorldCat. There is an example in the National Diet Library. The book is of unknown authorship, but both its contents and the extant editions suggest that it was written in the Yuan period (1271-1368). It lists the family names of prominent Chinese lineages arranged by pronunciation. The arrangement is based, first, on the four pitch tones of Middle Chinese (level, rising, departing, and entering) and, second, on the rhymes as listed in the Song-period rhyme book Guangyun 廣韻 [The Expanded Rhymes]. The arrangement of Guangyun was familiar to all highly educated individuals in this period and can be compared to alphabetical order in European languages. The Great Collection of Lineages was thus clearly a reference work that readers could use to look up a certain lineage on the basis of the pronunciation of its family name. Under the family name of each lineage, famous individuals belonging to the lineage throughout history are listed with a short biography, with a phrase of a few characters from the biography serving as its heading. The greatest value of this book lies in its inclusion of much new historical source material that can serve to complement information found in the dynastic histories. In the Ming period, Ling Dizhi 凌迪知 (1529-1621), used the Great Collection of Lineages extensively when writing his Gujin wan xing tongpu 古今萬姓統譜 [Unified Lists of the Myriad Family Names from Past & Present], which was published in 1579. The Great Collection of Lineages was included in the Qianlong emperor’s great manuscript library, the Complete Books of the Four Repositories, in the 1780s. The emperor’s court bibliographers noted that since the historical events covered in the book did not go beyond the late Southern Song, the book ought to date from the Yuan period. They do not appear to have had access to a Yuan edition, however. That they included it in the imperial manuscript library shows that they nevertheless found value in it. Fragments of at least three different Yuan-era editions have since come to light and have been published in facsimile. A rather nice fresh set, with some occasional, mostly marginal, worming. Preserved in a chitsu. ❧ Kazuma Kawase, Kokatsuji-ban no kenkyu [Study of the Early Typographic Editions of Japan] (1967), I, p. 361 & III, p. 84, no. 226 for a reproduction.

London: William Heinemann, 1912. Limited to 1,450 numbered copies signed by the artist, this being copy no. 1103.

Publisher's white buckram, front cover and spine pictorially stamped in gilt, top edge gilt, others uncut. Spine very slightly darkened otherwise a very fine copy, the gilt bright and fresh. Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica is a collection of fables credited to Aesop, a slave and story-teller believed to have lived in ancient Greece between 620 and 560 BC. The 1st century AD philosopher, Apollonius of Tyana, is recorded as having said about Aesop: "... like those who dine well off the plainest dishes, he made use of humble incidents to teach great truths, and after serving up a story he adds to it the advice to do a thing or not to do it. Then, too, he was really more attached to truth than the poets are; for the latter do violence to their own stories in order to make them probable; but he by announcing a story which everyone knows not to be true, told the truth by the very fact that he did not claim to be relating real events" (Philostratus, Life of Apollonius of Tyana, Book V:14). Lattimore and Haskell, pp. 38-9. Riall, p. 111.

Description
Various: By the authors, 1890. Very good. Three photographs, ca 1890s - 1915 (one of them dated 1915 on verso); the first a black and white collage of two separate images of the same person, printed overlapping into the photograph themself; the other two sepa-toned; various sizes, but approx. 3 3/4 x 5; one affixed to a thick, card stock frame; two in very good condition, with minor wear to edges; the last one with a vertical crease to top margin and a few small, closed cuts to top edge. The first photograph, subtitled in manuscript on verso: "Summer 1915," depicts a collage of two images of the same young lady, in full uniform, holding a bat and alternately - is sitting and standing in a grassy area under a tree (a garden, or an improvised playing field [?]). Her smile is infectious and carefree. The second one shows three young men in various catchers' positions, in unidentified uniforms. The third one features ten players, who appear to belong to different teams, in various full and partial- uniforms. One of the jerseys has "Shenandoah" written across (possibly placing the men in Virginia).
