Quem abbreviavit et almagesti Sapientis Ptholomei Claudii philosophi Alexandrini ex Pheludio progeniti a magistrum Joannem Glogoviensem feliciter recollectum. [With a table of the declination of the Sun, with canon, on m6 recto]
Author: ASTRONOMY. Johann von Glogau (Głogów) (1445-1507)
Seller: Liber Antiquus (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Krakow: [Jan Haller], 28 April, 1506. FIRST EDITION of Johann of Głogów’s commentary on the Sphere of Sacrobosco. Hardcover. Fine. Illustrated with a full-page woodcut of an armillary sphere on the verso of the title page and another large woodcut on B1 recto, showing the spheres of Earth, the elemental zones, the spheres of the planets, and above them, the zodiac. This diagram of Creation is overseen by Christ as Pantocrator flanked by saints. Other, smaller diagrams (including one showing retrograde motion) appear in the text. This is an excellent copy, bound in its first binding of strictly contemporary quarter pigskin over quarter-sawn wooden boards. The pigskin is ruled and tooled in blind with fine floral tools, blind-stamps of a double-headed eagle, a banner, and a diamond with Christ’s monogram IHS in the center. Both clasps and catch-plates are preserved and are in good working order. This is a large copy with numerous deckled edges preserved and printed on heavy paper. A contemporary owner has made annotations in the margins in a neat hand. The fine woodcut armorial bookplate of the jurist (I. U. D.) Ludovicus Romanus, dated 1575, is affixed to the front pastedown. The book was printed by Jan Haller, who, three years later, in 1509, printed Copernicus’ first book, a translation from the Greek of Theophylactus. “John of Głogów was one of the most important lecturers in Cracow at the time Copernicus was a young student there. Although Głogów taught only one course, in the summer of 1492, that Copernicus might have taken, Copernicus heard lectures from various of the masters that Głogów had trained.”(Owen Gingerich) Głogów began his studies at the University of Krakow in 1462, at the age of 16. In 1468 he achieved his magister atrium degree and began to teach. From 1468 until his death almost forty years later, Głogów taught grammar, Aristotelian logic, physics, physiology, geography, and astronomy at his alma mater. In the course of his long career, Głogów authored many books on astronomical and astrological subjects, many of which were reprinted after his death in 1507. They include astrological calendars, almanacs, iudicia (including forecasts for comets in 1472, and for lunar eclipses in 1476 and 1504), and a special horoscope for King Matthias Corvinus of Hungary in 1485. He also composed tracts on the 48 constellations, a Summa Astrologiae in three parts, tables for the motions of the planets calculated for Cracow, a tract on comets, an introduction to ephemerides -and another to the reading of astronomical tables, a theoricae of the moon, as well as two tracts concerning the human body: the first focused on the development of the body in utero; the second on the period of fetal gestation. Głogów also composed a praxis on Regiomontanus’ ‘Tabulae directionum et profectionum’ of 1490. In the late 1480’s, Głogów authored a short tract (tractatulus) on Sacrobosco’s sphere, a forerunner to the full commentary of 1506. The New World: Głogów’s commentary is of particular importance as an Americanum, for it is the first book printed in Poland to describe the discovery of the New World. We know that Głogów was intensely interested in world geography. According to Dr. Teresa Borawska, Głogów lectured on the discoveries of Columbus in 1494. Głogów’s copiously annotated copy of the 1486 Ulm edition of Ptolemy’s Geography, edited by Nicolaus Germanus (on whom see below), is still preserved in Cracow (Biblioteka Jagiellon ́ska, Inc. 821) The passage, derived from reports of the Amerigo Vespucci’s expeditions to South America, was printed a year before Martin Waldseemüller published a Latin translation of one of those reports in a booklet intended to accompany his world map, the first map to use the name America to identify the New World. “The passage on the New World begins on folio g2 recto, and refers to Vespucci's (putative) expeditions of 1501 and 1504. Refuting Sacrobosco's assertion that the torrid zones between the two tropics and the area beyond the Arctic circle are uninhabitable due to the extreme temperatures, the commentator cites the island of Trapobana (Ceylon), which is situated on the equator and yet densely populated, and continues: "And the same thing is confirmed by those who in the year 1501 and similarly in the year 1504 were sent by the King of Portugal to discover the origin of pepper and other aromatic spices. They sailed beyond the equator and saw both celestial hemispheres and their stars and they found the origin of pepper in a place that they called the New World, which was hitherto unknown. “Glogau goes on to state, though erroneously, that Dom Nicolaus Germanus (ca. 1420-ca. 1490), the Benedictine cartographer and editor of Ptolemy, had traveled to the Arctic regions, where he had seen ‘many people and islands which were unknown to any mortal man and were not described by the ancient cosmographers’. Although not himself an explorer, Nicolaus Germanus was responsible for the dissemination of important new cartographical information and concepts, mainly through the publication in Ulm in 1482 of his edition of Ptolemy (based on his own manuscript atlases), the first to include his five modern maps and the first to show Iceland and Greenland. Glogau's description of him here as ‘Reformator studii Cosmographie’ shows that his achievements were already recognized by his contemporaries.”(Christie’s 1998).

Title: Absolutely Live by The Doors: Original Dye-Transfer Production Photograph
Author: THE DOORS. [MORRISON, JIM; LISCIANDRO, FRANK]
Seller: The Manhattan Rare Book Company (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: Los Angeles: Elektra Records, 1970. first edition. Very Good. STUNNING ORIGINAL DYE-TRANSFER PRODUCTION PHOTOGRAPH used in the preparation of the cover for the band’s first—and only—live album issued during Jim Morrison’s lifetime. With important provenance. Original vintage color dye-transfer print, 12 x 23 inches, dry-mounted to Bainbridge Bristol Board, with visible period blue art-department retouching along the upper and lower edges; accompanied a backing board signed and inscribed in 1975 by Bob Heimall, the art director/designer for the album, to music-industry executive Stephen Dessau: “To: Stephan [sic] P. Dessau (as in Nassau) / Happy Holiday Diamond Studs! / Remember – your [sic] in over your head! / Bob Heimall ’75”. Issued by Elektra on July 20, 1970, Absolutely Live was the Doors’ first live album and the only one released during Jim Morrison’s lifetime; Morrison would be dead in Paris less than a year later, on July 3, 1971. As such, the album occupies a singular place in the group’s history: the sole contemporaneous live statement through which audiences could hear the Doors officially present themselves as a concert act while Morrison was still alive. Compiled by producer Paul A. Rothchild from performances recorded in 1969 and 1970, including material from the Aquarius Theatre and Felt Forum, the album captured the band in the form for which many admirers considered them most powerful—improvisatory, theatrical, blues-driven, and unstable in the best sense. It also contained the first full official release of “Celebration of the Lizard,” among the most mythic and elusive works in the Doors canon. The present dye-transfer print (with extremely rich color) preserves the underlying live image taken by photographer Frank Lisciandro used in the preparation of the cover, prior to the addition of typography and logo design. Morrison – in a superimposed image taken at an earlier date – appears at right, isolated at the microphone, with the remaining members of the band receding into a saturated blue stage space behind him. The image possesses the nocturnal theatricality appropriate to the band at this moment, while the object itself retains the physical traces of period record-cover manufacture: board mount, hand retouching, and signs of studio handling. Contemporary and later accounts held that Elektra initially favored a grainy, bluish rear-view stage image from the Aquarius Theatre performances, but judged it insufficiently exciting for commercial use. A different, earlier, more conventionally iconic image of Morrison was then incorporated into the final design. Morrison is said to have hated the final version. By 1969–70 his appearance had changed markedly: heavier, bearded, and far removed from the lean black-leather rock-star persona through which he had first entered the popular imagination. The dispute reflected a deep struggle over who would determine Morrison’s public image at the end of the Doors’ great period: Morrison himself, or the commercial machinery that preferred the older myth. Provenance: From the art director for the album Bob Heimall, to music-executive Stephen P. Dessau. With an additional CBS memorandum dated 1979 identifying Dessau as Director of Product Management, East Coast, Epic/Portrait/CBS Associated Labels, and a copy of the album. Los Angeles: Elektra Records, 1970. Original vintage color dye-transfer print, 12 x 23 inches. Only the most trivial wear with absolutely no fading - the colors are superbly rich. A remarkable survival.

Author: [AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORY & LITERATURE] STILL, William
Seller: Lorne Bair Rare Books (United States)
Description: Philadelphia: Porter & Coates, Publishers, 1872. First Edition. Thick octavo (24.5cm); variant bound in the publisher's paneled-style brown pebbled cloth, with titling and decorations stamped in gilt on spine and covers; dark brown clay-coated endpapers; all edges gilt; 4pp.ads, [iv],780,[2]pp, with an engraved frontispiece portrait of Still and 43 plates of illustrations. Modest rubbing to the binding, wear and shallow loss to heel, with gentle sunning and biopredation to spine, resulting in some erosion to the cloth; a few thin, partial cracks to hinges (two of them showing evidence of being re-glued), with textblock starting to sag very slightly; early owner's small label and neatly rubber-stamped name (John D. Harrison) on preliminary blank, and pp.101, 400, and 780, with a small loss to margin at pp.45-46, and two pages with small marginal tears; Very Good. A historically significant document by Still, a free-born Black man who became an author and abolitionist movement leader in Philadelphia, PA. The volume documented the stories of escaped slaves, and remains "the only first-person account of Black activities on the Underground Railroad written and self-published by an African-American...William Still was a major contributor to the success of the Underground Railroad activities in Philadelphia and a part of Philadelphia's free Black community that played an essential role in the Underground Railroad. He personally provided room and board for many African Americans who escaped slavery and stopped in Philadelphia on their way to Canada. Through his work with the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery's Vigilance Committee, he raised funds to assist runaways and arrange their passage to the North. He was instrumental in financing several of Harriet Tubman's trips to the South to liberate enslaved Africans" (Turner, Diane D. "William Still's National Significance." Web blog post. William Still: African American Abolitionist. Temple University, n.d. 18 August, 2016). Still kept meticulous notes concerning the many escaped slaves who passed through the Philadelphia "station;" he took pains to record names, brief biographies, and the destination for each individual, along with any adopted aliases, in hopes of reuniting family members who were separated by slavery. He kept his notes secret, hidden in diaries he kept during those years, and published them after the Civil War. The Underground Rail Road went through three editions, and was displayed at the Philadelphia Centennial Exhibition in 1876. SCHOMBURG, p.7, 394; WORK, p.338.

Octavo (22cm); blue cloth with titles stamped in gilt on spine; black topstain; dustjacket; 251pp; illustrated with 70 full-page photographs by Doris Ulmann. Hint of sunning to spine ends, some trivial wear to corner tips, with a tiny splash mark to topstain; contents clean; Near Fine. Dustjacket is unclipped (priced $3.50), gently spine-sunned, modest wear to joints and extremities, with shallow loss to crown, several tiny nicks and tears to extremities, and a 2" split at lower front flap fold; Very Good+. One of the great documentary photobooks of the 1930's, examining the lives of black plantation workers in the Gullah coastal region of South Carolina. The idea for the book was originally conceived by American photographer Doris Ullman (1882-1934), who met Julia Peterkin at a literary gathering in 1929 - the same year Ullman had undertaken a project to create a volume of photographic studies of African Americans throughout the South. Ulmann's portraits of the Gullah people were taken on the Lang Syne plantation, owned by the family of Peterkin's husband; paired with text and stories written by Peterkin, Ullman's portraits of the former slaves and their descendants have long been praised for both their quality, and the sense of dignity they convey. Many times scarcer in an attractive jacket than the signed, limited issue, published the same year. BLOCKSON 3932; ROTH 101. PARR-BADGER, Vol.1, p.135.

A large, heavy volume in Near Fine condition in a sturdy binding. Scarce. Large folio (19" x 23") bound in modern buckram containing a complete year of this important publication. THE NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER began as a tri-weekly newspaper in Washington, D.C. on 31 October 1800 and became THE DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER in 1813, and until its demise in 1867 was the dominant newspaper of the capital.

Seller: White Fox Rare Books and Antiques (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: Softbound. Card covers. Cloth spine. Good. Folio, 30 by 23 cm. 128, [2] pp. One unpaginated sheet in center. Virtually every page is illustrated, most with a large illustration of a wheeled carriage. A few pages near the end have multiple illustrations of parasols, which were attached to the carriages, and one page has two illustrations of runners, to be used in winter. There is a price list given at the front and on the final leaf. The carriages here used wicker for their cabs, which allowed for elaborate decorative work, and thus the carriages, regardless of their intended purpose, are uniformly pretty. They hark back to a bygone era of horse-drawn carriages, long gowns with intricate lace and flamboyant feather bedecked chapeaux, and decorous strolls through groomed grounds. Heywood Brothers traces its roots back to 1826, Wakefield Company, to 1855. The two rattan and wicker furniture companies merged in 1897, just two years before the issuance of this catalogue. The company subsequently got into other areas of furniture production. The company's primary manufacturing plant was closed in 1979 but some parts of the business survived, and the company sold rights to its wooden furniture designs in the 1990s. Condition: Cover with some chipping, creasing, soiling. Spine cloth peeling at ends. Edge staining to title leaf. Otherwise, clean, with a moderate amount of age toning.
