Vallae delighted in controversy, at one point urging the Romans to deprive the pope of the papacy. He also denied that the religious state was the perfect state and that the monks were guilty of arrogance in that regard. Vallae also contended that we are unable to understand the concept of free will and the truth of it.Photographs provided upon request. Basileae 1543

[6]ff, 288pp, [6]ff. Reliure moderne, gardes renouvelées, demi-basane, dos à nerfs, titre et fleurons dorés. Edition originale de la première traduction latine. Avec une large vignette de titre. Impression sur deux colonnes. Le Banquet des Savants du grammairien Athénée (né en Egypte sous Marc-Aurèle) est un trésor d?érudition divisé en 15 livres dont seuls les 13 derniers nous sont parvenus complets. La première édition est parue à Venise chez Alde en 1514. Athénée a recueilli tout ce qu?il a pu glaner au cours de ses lectures. Sa compilation est d?autant plus précieuse que la plupart des ouvrages qu?il cite sont perdus. C?est une encyclopédie de l?Antiquité, riche, variée, éblouissante. (...) C?est aussi un véritable traité de gastronomie, avec des informations très précieuses sur les coutumes de la table, les aliments, les menus, la vaisselle, le vin. Le traducteur latin est le savant Noël Conti. Cette édition est fort rare. On retrouve plus facilement la première latine imprimée à Lyon, la même année mais qui est postérieure à celle-ci. «Inconnu de Vicaire, de Brunet, de Bitting».

Prefaced by two original essays 'The Roman learning' and 'The Roman education' - it passed through many editions, and as late as 1786 the bookseller William Lowndes purchased a thirty-second share in the rights to the book. Its elegant synthesis

of the antiquarian data assembled over the previous 200 years ensured it a leading place among books on the daily life of the Romans until the nineteenth century. (DNB)

Dr. Robinson carefully collated two MSS. in the Bodleian, from which, and one belonging to the Royal

John and Paul Knapton, London 1740 - The above date is for the first bound pair (Odyssey) of these volumes (4 volumes bound in 2); the second volume (2nd ed. Iliad) is from 1754. This is a matched set, hence kept as a pair. Samuel Clarke was a respected and well-published 18th century theologian and philosopher; his portrait (by Vanderbank) hangs in London's National Portrait Gallery. These are bound in vellum, ornamental spine..The first bound pair (Odyssey) has 3 engraved b&w maps, appropriate to the text, engraved by Seale and Toms. The maps are very good, with mild offsetting and browning, folds as issued, with images averaging about 8 x 11 inches. In the first pair the maps are of ancient Greece, northern Africa and southern Italy (with northern Sicily). The instructions for the maps indicate that map 2 was to be bound at the end of vol. 1, but it is at the beginning. In the second edition volume (Iliad) there are 2 maps, one of ancient Greece, the other of Asia minor, of similar dimensions to the other 3 and also by Seale and Toms. Texts are in Greek and Latin, and are very clean. It is quite unusual to find these volumes with the full complement of maps in nice condition. The first edition Odyssey is 784 pp plus 34 pp index; the Iliad volumeis 344 + 347 pp, plus a 34 pp index; the Iliad volumeis 344 + 347 pp, plus a 3 page preface and 10 page index (rear). Title pages to all 4 volumes are present, The first Iliad edition of this set came in 172932. References: Brunet III 273-4 for the set; for Clarke see Dictionary Scientific BIography III 294-7.

Robinson, 1791.1st edition. . Jean Jacques Barthelemy developed a love for oriental languages and numismatics while studying for the priesthood. In 1744 he went to Paris with a letter of introduction to M. Gros de Boze, keeper of the royal collections of medals. He became assistant to Boze, then succeeded him as keeper in 1753. Barthelemy is best know for his work VOYAGE DE JEUNE ANACHARSIS EN GRECE, first published in 1787. A work which took him 30 years to write, it centers around a young Scythian hero descended from the famous philosopher Anacharsis. Anacharsis the Younger is supposed to repair to Greece for instruction in his youth and following a tour of her republics and colonies, return to his native land to write this book in his old age. In the manner of modern travelers, he gives accounts of the customs, government and

antiquities of the country to which he traveled. This is the atlas to the set of travels 4to 11 by 9 inches, with all the copper engraved fold out maps, views complete and all hand watercolored, rare in hand watercolor, rebound in library maroon buckram but internally very good with no internal ex library markings or other flaws.

POLITICAL ESSAYS. A SERIES OF LETTERS ADDRESSED TO THE PEOPLE OF THEUNITED STATES. Printed and sold by J.D. Bemis, 1812. 215pp. 12mo. Contemporary calf-backed birch boards, gilt leather label. Binding rubbed, worn at corners Very good, in the original binding. The first American edition, following the London edition of the previous year. This book is notable as the first bound book printed in western New York. This copy is especially remarkable for being in its original binding. In this collection of essays Pickering vents his strong anti-Jefferson and anti-Madison opinions, including his views on the Embargo, the circumstances of his dismissal from office by John Adams, and the approaching war with England. After Alexander Hamilton's death, Pickering, who had been the third Secretary of State (under Washington and Adams), and who also represented Massachusetts in the United States House and Senate, became a prominent Federalist spokesman. He was a leader in the movement to have New England secede from the Union (via the Essex Junto and the Hartford Convention) in the years leading up to the War of 1812. The fact that this volume was printed in Canandaigua, in far western New York, in the year of the outbreak of the war, is interesting evidence of the Federalists' attempt to spread their philosophy to the American frontier.

treasures concealed in private collections in England. The plates are in various media, including lithography in two colours. The archaeologist James Millingen (1774-1845), had originally and reluctantly been a banker, who willingly followed medical advice to ease his asthma with the Italian climate. 'There he wrote and compiled valuable works in French and Italian on coins, medals, Etruscan vases, and related subjects, and also contributed articles to learned journals in Britain and on the continent. He bought antiquities with considerable discernment, and supplied private collections and most of the important museums of Europe, including the British Museum, with fine examples of ancient art. For some time he lived at Rome and at Naples, where he met Lady Blessington, but later he settled at Florence, paying occasional visits to Paris and London' (Oxford DNB). - Blackmer 1135.

Il "est considere comme le plus grand sculpteur anglais. [..] Entre-temps. Flaxman avait fait de nombreux dessins et modeles pour une importante maison de ceramique , MM. Wedgwood [..]. [..] Flaxman executa aussi d'interessantes illustrations pour l'Iliade el l'Odyssee d'Homere [..] Goethe appreciait son classicisme. Ingres et les Nazareens subirent son influence" (Aus: Benezit). "In Rom fertigte der Bildhauer 1793 als Auftragsarbeit und eher nebenbei Zeichnungen zu Homers Ilias an, die 1795 von Tommaso Piroli (1752 oder 1750-1824) in Kupfer gestochen wurden. Es folgten Zeichnungen zur Odyssee, gestochen von William Blake. Diese klassizistischen Umrisszeichnungen begründeten seinen Ruhm. Sie wurden stilbildend für weitere Künstler (z. B. die klassischen Illustrationen von Moritz Retzsch zu Goethes Faust I)."

[Anonymous] Chicago: 1871 FULL ACCOUNT OF THE GREAT FIRE IN CHICAGO. FOR SALE BY ALL NEWS DEALERS, AND ON ALL TRAINS [np:. nd 1871?]. 5" x 7". 15, [1] pp "a memento of THE GREATEST FIRE THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN." It was printed soon after the fire: "But one week ago it would have been regarded as a dream of a lunatic had any one predicted the fearful devastation wrought by the fire-demon in the Great Western Metropolis." The author describes the course of the fire, "the leap of the river," the "awe-struck" spectators, "the death-knell," "the release of the prisoners," other spectacular horrors, and a prediction: "Chicago will be more than she was on the first day of the fire, and will still be the great commercial and mercantile emporium of the West." The author discusses 'Postal Arrangements' and the condition of 'Postage Stamps' in the city. This pamphlet is evidently unrecorded, although ones with similar titles are noted here and there, one from Racine WI. Not in OCLC, Eberstadt, Decker, Graff, Soliday, Sabin.

Martha Susan Baker 1871-1911 Oil on canvas 10 x 8 inches Martha Baker, from a photograph reproduced in A Memorial Exhibition of Works by the Late Martha S. Baker at the Art Institute of Chicago Oct. 1 to 23, 1912 (1912). Portrait and miniature painter Martha Susan Baker was a native of Evansville, Indiana. In 1898, she completed her studies with honors at the Art Institute of Chicago. She served there as an instructor of sketching and watercolor painting until 1904 and she also taught briefly at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts (founded in 1902). Baker excelled as a painter of portraits and figural works, but she was best known for her miniature portraits, a genre that enjoyed a vigorous transatlantic revival beginning in the 1890s. The prominent Spanish painter Joaquin Sorolla, who visited Chicago in 1909 and again in 1911, declared Baker the foremost miniature painter of modern times. Baker also painted landscapes in watercolors and in oils, and she was one of several artists who painted murals in the tenth-floor stairwell of the Fine Arts Building, a vital center of cultural life in turn-of-the-century Chicago, where she established a studio in 1899. By 1903, Baker was widely recognized as one of Chicago’s most important younger artists. She was among four Chicagoans featured in the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris, and she also exhibited in the Paris Salon, at London’s Royal Academy of Arts, and in the United States in numerous national venues. In Chicago, her work was seen in the Art Institute’s annual exhibitions of American art, for work by Chicago artists, and for watercolor painting. She also showed in the annual exhibitions of the Society of Western Artists. Baker’s oil painting In an Old Gown (1904; Union League Club of Chicago) was awarded an honorable mention at the Carnegie International exhibition of 1905 and was purchased by Chicago’s Municipal Art League the following year. The work was characterized by a subdued, almost monochromatic palette. Baker studied pastel drawing during an extended stay in Paris in 1906-09. Thereafter her painting shifted toward what a contemporary deemed a more “modern” manner, characterized by the stronger, purer color, evident in her vivid Self Portrait.[i] Locally, Baker was widely hailed as one of the Chicago’s most promising artistic talents when she died suddenly, just short of her fortieth birthday. Within a year, the Art Institute mounted an ambitious memorial exhibition of more than fifty of her paintings, pastels, and miniatures, accompanied by an illustrated catalogue. Viewers, according to one reviewer, “cannot help but wonder what would have been the fulfillment had she lived to a period of matured achievement.”[ii] [i] “The Work of Martha S.

Phillips Wouverman 1619-1668 formerly in the collection of the Columbus Museum of Art

Philips Wouverman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Philips Wouwerman (also Wouwermans) (24 May 1619 (baptized) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 19 May 1668) was a Dutch painter of hunting, landscape and battle scenes. Life and Work Philips Wouwerman was one of the most versatile and prolific artists of the Dutch Golden Age. Embedded in the artistic environment and tradition of his home town of Haarlem, Wouwerman made an important and highly influential contribution to the canon of seventeenth-century Dutch painting. His pictures were in demand during his lifetime, but even more sought after in the 18th century. Throughout Europe, formerly princely art collections like in Dresden and St. Petersburg still bear witness to this widespread and great admiration of Wouwerman's elegant and picturesque refined works of art.[citation needed] 102

PAINTINGS Born in Haarlem in 1619, the son of a now altogether obscure painter named Pouwels Joostsz. Wouwerman, little is known about the artistic schooling of Wouwerman. According to Cornelis de Bie, he studied with Frans Hals (1581/85-1666), but the particular style of Hals didn't leave a footmark on his oeuvre. Apart from a short stay in Hamburg at the end of the 1630es, Wouwerman seemed to have lived in Haarlem during his whole artistic career and died as a well-respected member of the community at the age of 48.[citation needed] He joined the Haarlem Guild of St. Luke in 1640 and here took on several official posts in the years to come.[1] Wouwerman also worked as an estate agent in his home town, as many documents in Haarlem archives mentioned the artist in this context.[citation needed] Wouwerman started his artistic career with simple depictions of everyday life in the tradition of the bamboccianti by Pieter van Laer (1592/99-after 1642). Over the next thirty years he developed an individual style, treating a wide range of subjects from genre and landscape to military and religious scenes (equestrian scenes, hunting and hawking parties, landscapes with travellers, cavalry battles and military encampments, peasants festivities etc.). Yet his skills are legendary as regards the depiction of horses of all breeds seen in motion, and the masterpieces from his best period (around 1650-1660) are of indisputably high quality, beautifully combining imaginary southern landscapes and a typically Dutch atmosphere. Wouwerman's fine paintings - displaying delicate, subdued colours, a cool atmosphere and a wealth of witty, anecdotal details. He died in Haarlem.[citation needed] The first retrospective exhibition of Philips Wouwerman's work took place in Kassel, Gem채ldegalerie Alte Meister, and in The Hague, The Royal Picture Gallers Mauritshuis, 2009/2010.[citation needed]

Arthur Osver, oil on canvas, 42 x 38 inches, 1912-2006, American American painter, was born nearChicago, and later trained at Northwestern University and theSchool of the Art Institute of Chicago, Arthur Osver is a product ofan urban environment. He spent a portion of his caree r living in NewYork with residences in Greenwich Village and Long Island City.Osver taught, among man y places, at the Brooklyn Museum of ArtSchool from 1949 to 1951, at the American Academy in Rome in1 957 and 1958, and at Washington University in St.Louis during the1960s and 1970s. He actively exhibited his paintings at numerousinstitutions during the 1930s through the 1950s, including theWhitney Museum of American Art, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, theCarnegie Institute, and the Art Institute of Chicago. His pai ntingsare in numerous public collections, including New York's Museum ofModern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the WhitneyMuseum of American Art. While at the School of the Art Institute, Osver was a student ofBoris Anisfeld, a Russian ĂŠmigrĂŠ who painte d backdrops for theRussian Ballet. It was from Anisfeld that Arthur received his love oflandscapes, and it w as from New York that Arthur received his loveof urban landscapes that became his subject. Arthur was recognized early in his career for his realistic views ofthe landscape urban yet lyrical, representational though containingthe seeds of his later abstractions. By the late 1940s, he wasbeginning to attract attention from galleries like Mortimer Brandtand Grand Central Modern; from ma gazines like Fortune and Life and from artists like Philip Guston who recommended Osver for thejob at W ashington University. He always considered himself a landscape painter, but thelandscape he painted became more and more an i nner, personalone. And if an Osver canvas were to be singled as the turning ofthe tide from outer to inner la ndscape, it might well be his GreyNIght (1953), a milestone in hisdevelopment and a sharplydifferent treat ment of the metropolis from his early vision.

BURMESE OPIUM WEIGHTS

Bronze Burmese opium weights, Dragon (left) 1 5/8 inches high Below is an edited version of an article by Sylvia Fraser-Lu from the Jan/Feb, 1982 edition of Arts of Asia magazine which should help those wanting to buy these pieces and importantly know what to look for to get the dating right for pieces and avoid over paying for fake or misdated pieces, of which we've seen plenty for sale on Ebay. Widely seen in curio shops and stalls in both Burma and Thailand are delightful, boldly modelled bronze figures of birds and animals of varying sizes on solid round or rectangular bases. They are referred to as "opium" weights. The term "opium" weight for these measures was probably coined by a foreigner. While it's true that some of the smaller weights could have been used for measuring this drug, "opium" weights served a much wider, more useful and mundane purpose: they were used to gauge the weight of the daily items in the Burmese market place. All types of food, raw materials and metals, were sold in quantities determined by these weights. These weights have long attracted the attention of travellers to Burma. Early adventurers to the court of Pegu in the sixteenth century noted that silver bullion was weighed with these "curious animal" weights. Yule, an emissary of Queen Victoria, illustrated one in his book, A Narrative of the Mission Sent by the Governor General of India to the Court of Ava in 1855. It is not known exactly when these weights came into existence. Two small metal figures resembling a lion and hintha bird were uncovered during the 1956 archaeological excavations at Beikthano in Central Burma, a Pyu site thought to date from AD 100-400. Unfortunately, there is no evidence to confirm that they were actually used as weights. There are references to weights and measures in the inscriptions of Bagan, (AD 1044-1287) but to date, no actual examples have been found that can be ascribed to that period with certainty U Thaw Bita, a scholar monk, has made a survey of the chronicles and other written records from the 11th to 19th centuries. He has uncovered many references to weights and the occasions on which they were used.
