Title: Saggi Inediti di Lingue Americane. Appunti Bibliografici
Author: [Native American Languages]: Teza, Emilio
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Description: Pisa: Dallas Tipografia Nistri, 1868. 91,[1]pp. Original printed wrappers. Minor chipping and partial separations along spine, light edge wear, ownership signature on front wrapper and ink inscription on front flyleaf. Very good. A scarce Italian work on indigenous American linguistics, one of only seventy copies printed "e non sono in commercio." According to Pilling, the work was taken "From a manuscript of the Cardinal Mezzofanti, with an appendix.... The Notes, without the appendix, were first printed in the Annali della Universita di Pisa, 1868, vol. 10. Mainly devoted to South American languages, but contains a brief discussion and a few examples of Algonkin and Iroquois." The latter appear on pages 14-22 beginning with a passage headed, "Grammaire algonquine" and concluding with a discussion of Cardinal Mezzofanti's experiences learning indigenous California dialects from a manuscript brought to Italy by Catholic missionaries. Mezzofanti was a hyperpolyglot who reportedly knew, or was at least conversant in, at least thirty-eight and perhaps as many as fifty languages. OCLC records just six institutional copies of the present work in the United States, at the Bancroft, Trinity College, Gordon College, the Newberry, Harvard, and Penn. The title translates roughly to Unpublished Essays on American Language, with Bibliographical Notes. Pilau 331258. Pilling 3832. Leclerc 2091. Streit II:23.

From wikipedia: The 91st Infantry Division (famously nicknamed as the "Wild West Division"[2] with a "Fir Tree" as its Division insignia to symbolize its traditional home of the Far West[3]) is an infantry division of the United States Army that fought in World War I and World War II. From 1946 until 2008, it was part of the United States Army Reserve. It was briefly inactivated from 2008 until 2010 when it was elevated back to a division size element as the 91st Training Division (Operations).[1] Constituted on 5 August 1917 at Camp Lewis, Washington, near Tacoma, the division, commanded by Major General Henry Alexander Greene, soon thereafter departed for England in the summer of 1918. In September 1918, the division's first operation was in the St. Mihiel Offensive in France. Serving under the U.S. Army's V Corps, the division, now commanded by Major General William Johnston Jr., fought in the Meuse-Argonne Offensive and successfully helped to destroy the German First Guard Division and continued to smash through three successive enemy lines.[1][4] Twelve days before the end of World War I, the division, as part of the VII Corps of the French Sixth Army, helped drive the Germans east across the Escaut River in the Battle of the Lys and the Escaut. The division was awarded separate campaign streamers for its active role in the Lorraine, Meuse-Argonne and Ypres-Lys campaigns.[1][4] In 1919, the 91st was inactivated at the Presidio of San Francisco. The Division was composed of the following units:[5][6][7][8][9] • Headquarters, 91st Division • 181st Infantry Brigade 361st Infantry Regiment 362nd Infantry Regiment 347th Machine Gun Battalion [10] 347th Machine Gun Battalion [10] • 182nd Infantry Brigade 363rd Infantry Regiment 364th Infantry Regiment 348th Machine Gun Battalion • 166th Field Artillery Brigade 346th Field Artillery Regiment (75 mm) 347th Field Artillery Regiment (4.7") 348th Field Artillery Regiment (155 mm) 316th Trench Mortar Battery • 346th Machine Gun Battalion • 316th Engineer Regiment • 316th Medical Regiment • 316th Field Signal Battalion • Headquarters Troop, 91st Division • 316th Train Headquarters and Military Police 316th Ammunition Train 316th Supply Train 316th Engineer Train 316th Sanitary Train 361st, 36nd, 363rd, and 364th Ambulance Companies and Field Hospitals Notable members of the unit included former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Earl Warren.
