AN ILLUMINATED VELLUM MANUSCRIPT LEAF WITH A MINIATURE OF THE HOLY TRINITY, FROM A BOOK OF HOURS IN FRENCH AND LATIN
Seller
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description
Paris, ca. 1460. 153 x 110 mm. (6 x 4 3/8"). Single column, 14 lines of text in a fine gothic book hand. One-line initial in burnished gold on a pink and blue ground with white tracery, a two-line initial and a three-line initial in pink with white tracery on a ground of burnished gold, the center filled with twining blue vines bearing pink and scarlet flowers, verso with a rinceau panel border featuring twining hairline stems bearing burnished gold ivy leaves and fruit, blue and gold acanthus leaves, and flowers, recto WITH AN ARCH-TOPPED MINIATURE OF THE HOLY TRINITY SURROUNDED BY THE HEAVENLY HOST, this and the accompanying text enclosed by a pink, blue, and burnished gold bar border on one side, and a brushed gold bar border with pink lotus flowers on two sides, the whole surrounded by A FULL RINCEAU BORDER DENSE WITH ACANTHUS LEAVES, FOLIAGE, FRUIT, FLOWERS, AND TINY GOLD BERRIES on hairline stems. ◆A little paint flaked from the book held by the Trinity, a couple of small spots in the margin, otherwise in fine condition--clean and smooth, with comfortable margins, and bright gold. The Trinity is shown here seated on a canopied throne, with God the Son, his hand raised in blessing, to the left of the Father. The latter, in a towering crown, holds a gold orb, and the Father and Son together support a large book opened between them. The dove of the Holy Spirit hovers above the book, radiating golden beams. The Trinity is flanked on both sides by cherubim and seraphim in rich red and soft yellow. It is the rendering of this angelic ambiance that elevates the level of aesthetic achievement here: both red and yellow celestial beings are given a ghostly appearance, as if appearing out of a filmy yellow or a densely red fog. The artistic qualities as a whole suggest that this leaf comes from a manuscript commissioned by a person of significant means..

Description
1955. Brenner, Sydney (1927- ). The effects of ribonuclease and deoxyribonuclease on bacteriophage formation in protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium. Offprint from Biochimica et biophysica acta 18 (1955). 531-534pp. 244 x 167 mm. Without wrappers as issued. Small rust stains, otherwise fine. First Separate Edition. Brenner found that Dnase had no significant effect on the formation of bacteriophage by protoplasts of B. megaterium, while Rnase "suppresses bacterial growth almost completely. This action of Rnase is due to lysis of the protoplasts induced by the enzyme with consequent dispersion of the protoplast contents. It is concluded that protoplasts are not generally permeable to macromolecular substances such as enzymes" (p. 534).

VG, front cover curls slightly
Description
New York: Oxford University Press, 2010. Softbound. VG, front cover curls slightly. Black glossy illustrated wraps, [xviii] 393pp, no illustrations. Based on the conviction that only translators who write poetry themselves can best re-create the celebrated and timeless tragedies of Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, the Greek Tragedy in New Translations series offers new translations that go beyond the literal meaning of the Greek in order to evoke the poetry of the originals. The tragedies collected here were originally available as single volumes. This new collection retains the informative introductions and explanatory notes of the original editions, with Greek line numbers and a single combined glossary added for easy reference. The volume collects Euripides' Electra, an exciting story of vengence that counterposes suspense and horror with comic realism; Orestes, the tragedy of a young man who kills his mother to avenge her murder of his father; Iphigenia in Tauris, a delicately written and beautifully contrived Euripidean "romance"; and Iphigenia at Aulis, a compelling look at the devastating consequence of "man's inhumanity to man."
