Description:
N.p.: Mimeograph typescript, 1934. 27 cm; [2], 169, [1], pages, dedication leaf, and original pencil and chalk title leaf with portrait of a grinning Mephistopheles, by Michel Fingesten (Michl Finkelstein), signed in pencil, protected by glassine leaf. Dedication "für HANS ARNOLD geschreiben, Weihnachten 1934," signed in ink by Grete Scholz. Text mimeographed typescript on Crown Van Gelder. Bound in half vellum over buckram cloth-covered boards, with buckram endleaves. Title stamped in gilt letters on vellum panel of top board. Upper board somewhat bowed, but book is effectively pristine. The successful German-Jewish banker Hans Arnold made his home in Berlin a salon for artists, musicians, and intellectuals (the structure now houses the American Academy in Berlin). As a patron of the arts, Arnhold merited this hand-made gift, dedicated for Christmas 1934, of a Goethe's Faust, one of an unspecified (but certainly tiny) number of mimeographed copies printed on Crown Van Gelder watermarked…

The book of the dead. Facsimile of the Papyrus of Ani in the British Museum.
by Budge, Ernest Alfred Wallis
- Used
- Hardcover
London: Printed by order of the Trustees, sold at the British Museum, 1894. Second edition. E.A. Wallis Budge acquired the Papyrus of Ani for the British Museum in 1888. Intended as a guide to the afterlife, the scroll was full of its culture's most beautiful prayers and incantations, and was exquisitely decorated. Budge immediately sliced the scroll into 37 pieces and mounted the sections for exposition at the British Museum, where they began to deteriorate under the light. At the same time he commissioned a full-size, full-color facsimile, first published in 1890 and again in 1894, in luxurious elephant folio sheets but without translation or analysis. Budge claimed to "Illustrates the religious views of the wonderful people who more than five thousand years ago proclaimed the resurrection of a spiritual body and the immortality of the soul." Extra shipping charges apply.. Facsimile volume: 54cm; vii pages and 37 double-page chromolithograph plates. Bound in original half black morocco over pebbled boards, ruled in gilt and titled in gilt on spine. Leather and gilding expertly renewed, corners reinforced. A sturdy, clean copy in original binding.
