A Catalogue of the Library at Bamburgh Castle, in the County of Northumberland, divided into three alphabetical parts. I. English: II. Latin and other antient languages. III. French and other modern languages. With a table of references to each. Published by order of the trustees of the estates of the right honourable Nathanael late Lord Crewe, and Lord Bishop of Durham. Durham: Printed by L. Pennington,[1794.] £1695 4to (255 x 220 mm), [120]pp., interleaved with blank pages, cont. quarter calf, marbled boards, vellum tips, upper joint cracked, spine rubbed but still a very good copy. The Bamburghe Castle Library was collected by three generations of the Sharp family, beginning with John Sharp, Archbishop of York (1644-1714), who had been collecting books from about 1660. The Sharp family were also successively Trustees of Lord Crewe’s Charity and curates of Bamburgh. Nathaniel, Lord Crewe, Bishop of Durham, had purchased Bamburgh Castle in the early eighteenth century. One of the result of the bequests made by Lord Crewe was the purchase in 1779 of the library of Thomas Sharp (1725-72) to form the nucleus of a library for the use of the alternating resident Trustees. This rare first catalogue of the library at Bamburgh Castle was prompted by the gift of the library of John Sharp (1723-92) Archdeacon and Prebenary of Durham which was added to the collections formed by his brother Thomas and earlier members of the family. The bequest was made on the understanding that the library was to remain at Bamburgh Castle. Indeed, it remained there until 1958, when it was deposited with the university library in Durham.

[Amate paper] Curandero Otomí Deity - Dios de Piña cut paper card. San Pablito, Mexico, 1970-1990. Unique. Single leaf paper cut mounted on brown and white amate bark paper with handwritten description. 15x9cm. In Spanish. Very Good+. (#9922) $75.00 The culture of amate paper dates back to pre-Columbian Meso-American times. The word amate derives from amatl, the Nahuatl word for paper. Mayan and Aztec Indians painted on amate paper to create codices (accordion folded books) depicting stories historical events and even astrology. San Pablito, a settlement of Otomí speaking Indians in the Sierra Norte de Puebla, is renowned as a village of brujería (witchcraft) and the only remaining major center of indigenous papermakers in Mexico. The cut paper spirits are also named as deities, including dios de abeja, dios de antiguo, madre tierra. In addition, the Otomí cut paper camas (beds), upon which the paper figurines are laid during rituals. A lesser known aspect of Otomí tourist art is the making of small books or postcards from handmade paper where the lighter paper is used as a background surface, and brown and darker muñecos, the “sacred paper cuttings”, are glued on. These figures are accompanied by texts in Spanish written in capital letters with felt-tipped pens.

  • World Literature
    world literature Peter Harrington london This catalogue celebrates the international conversation that is literature, and the creativity that can spark when writers and texts cross national, linguistic, and cultural borders. For his lifelong commitment to literary internationalism, Jorge Luis Borges is a key figure here. One of the star items is Borges’s own annotated copy of Dante (20). Another is a man- uscript of the only poem he composed in the English language (17). We also have a scarce signed set of his Biblioteca de Babel series (21), which brought the great short stories of world literature to a South American audience. Many other items connect notable authors across place and time: Dylan Thomas’s school- boy copy of Omar Khayyám (item 179), T. S. Eliot’s Rimbaud (61), and E. M. Forster’s Chek- hov (41), for example. Among international presentations, Umberto Eco’s Name of the Rose to García Márquez is a show-stopper (58), as is García Márquez inscribing One Hundred Years of Solitude to his English publisher (67). A compelling example of international readership is found in a first American edition of Moby Dick being read by a poet in Hawaii who correspond- We are exhibiting at these fairs: ed with Melville (127).
