He secured approximate- ly 475 subscribers, and it is thought the print run did not exceed 500 copies. in 1954 a census of extant copies found thirty-five cop- ies in public and private collections. While the number of copies today may perhaps be forty-five, the volume’s continuing rarity can be understood when one realizes that the Vatican Library did not possess a copy until 1979. With good reason, margaret Hills describes this edition as “the rarest of the notable early american editions of the Bible.” a significant edition both in the history of Bible printing and the history of publishing in the united states. $12,500 catalogue 122 | 5 triple dos à dos binding 8 (BINDING, Dos à Dos) [Kempis, Thomas à].

  • Views Before That August Body and the Parliament Which Was Back of It, in Hopes That He Might Inñuence the Final Form of the Church Discipline
    1936.] Report of the Librarian 153 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN THE USE OF THE LIBRARY TN accepting membership in the American Anti- -•• quarian Society in 1915, the Right Honorable Sir George Otto Trevelyan, distinguished historian of the American Revolution, said: "Recognition from such a body as the American Antiquarian Society has for me a value of a rare character. I shall never see Worcester or enter the Library in which henceforth I should have the privilege of reading but I accept the position of membership with gratitude and pleasure." Many other English and Continental scholars have been more fortunate than Sir George and have spent happy and profitable hours within these walls. This summer as never before our reading room has, at times, been thronged with historical students occupying every available seat. The follower of the curious hobby of license plate hunting would have been richly re- warded by an examination of the cars parked about our building, for he would have found plates from almost every state in the union in the course of a few midsummer visits. As soon as the last college class has been dismissed many a historian packs his travelling bag and the notes for his forthcoming volume and turns the prow of his trusty car toward Worcester. The subjects of their inquiries are of infinite variety and all of their problems are interesting. A scholar from the University of Kansas wished to know when aerial photography began and was delighted when we produced a balloon photograph of Boston taken, believe it or not, in 1860.

  • Banners in Heraldic Art
    Banners in heraldic art Magnus Backrnark Abstract The banner is very useful to heraldic art. It is a carrier of charges and colours, just like its coun­ terpart the shield. But where the shield can be seen as crude, heavy, flat and robust - its purpose being taking hits- the banner is brilliant, swift, full of I ife and motion. Its purpose is spiritual. It is lifted above anyone's head, above dust and confusion, for inspiration and guiding. Something of this character, I will with this article try to show by examples that the heraldic artist, if lucky, can translate in his or her work. First, we could though take a quick glance at the historical development of banners. The term banner approves, as we shall see, to a specific kind of flag, but in a wide sense of the word a banner is any ensign made of a peace of cloth, carried on a staff and with symbolic value to its owner(s). The profound nature of this innovation, which seem to be of oriental origin, makes it the mother of all kinds of flags. The etymologi­ cal root of the word banner is the French word banniere, derived from latin bandaria, bandum, which has German extraction, related to gothic bandwa, bandw6, 'sign'. 1 The birth of heraldry in the l2 h century Western world was preceded by centuries of use of early forms of banners, called gonfanons. From Bysantium to Normandy, everywhere in the Christian world, these ensigns usually were small rectangular lance­ flags with tai Is (Fig.

  • An Association Copy of Note: Willa Cather's Copy of Aucassin & Nicolete
    An Association Copy of Note: Willa Cather’s copy of Aucassin & Nicolete From 1896 to 1906 the renown American writer and novelist, Willa Cather, resided in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Twelve novels with now more or less familiar titles like O Pioneers! (1913), The Song of the Lark (1915), and Death comes for the Archbishop (1927) thrilled American readers. Long before her novels, however, there were more modest achievements such as her first and only book of poetry, April Twilights (1903), her first collection of short story fiction, The Troll Garden (1905) and her work as editor of Home Monthly, the magazine which brought her to Pittsburgh in the first place. In 1898 she began work at the Pittsburgh Daily Leader but then in 1901 she took a job teaching high school students in Pittsburgh. Teaching would not become her mainstay and by 1906 she was ready to move on to a job at McClure’s Magazine in New York City which eventually would lead to her becoming its managing editor. McClure’s was one of America’s most successful and popular literary magazines, and it was while in New York that Cather would meet her lifelong companion, Edith Lewis. But wait, we’re getting a bit ahead of ourselves. It’s those Pittsburgh years that are of the most direct concern for this brief essay. Willa Cather often referred to Pittsburgh as the “birthplace” of her writing career, and the very reason why the essay exists at all is because of a little book found from those natal literary years. We have to go back to September 18, 2012 when I came across the notice from an upper Mid-Western book dealer advertised a little Mosher book which he said was from Willa Cather’s library: Aucassin & Nicolete.

Willa Cather’s luminous prose is ‘easy’ to read yet surprisingly difficult to understand. The essays col- lected here are theoretically informed but accessibly written and cover the full range of Cather’s career, including most of her twelve novels and several of her short stories. The essays situate Cather’s work in a broad range of critical, cultural, and literary contexts, and the introduction explores current trends in Cather scholarship as well as the author’s place in contemporary culture. With a detailed chronology and a guide to further reading, the volume offers students and teachers a fresh and thorough sense of the author of My Antonia´ , The Professor’s House, and Death Comes for the Archbishop. © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052182110X - The Cambridge Companion to Willa Cather Edited by Marilee Lindemann Frontmatter More information THE CAMBRIDGE COMPANION TO WILLA CATHER EDITED BY MARILEE LINDEMANN © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 052182110X - The Cambridge Companion to Willa Cather Edited by Marilee Lindemann Frontmatter More information cambridge university press Cambridge, New York, Melbourne, Madrid, Cape Town, Singapore, Sao˜ Paulo Cambridge University Press The Edinburgh Building, Cambridge cb2 2ru,UK Published in the United States of America by Cambridge University Press, New York www.cambridge.org Information on this title: www.cambridge.org/9780521527934 C Cambridge University Press 2005 This book is in copyright.
