Description:
Rome, 10 August 1502. 305 x 513 mm. (12 x 20 1/4"). Single column, 29 lines in a papal documentary script, plus signatures at bottom. First line of text much larger and with elongated letters and calligraphic flourishes. WITH THE ORIGINAL LEAD SEAL AND HEMP TIES ATTACHED. Verso with several ink notations in different contemporary and later hands, recto with a long ink line in one margin and the letter "A" in the other, both by a later hand. ◆Several folds to vellum as usual, one-inch tear near where the hemp tie is attached, a couple of small holes in the large "A" at the top of the document, seal a little worn around edges and to the contours of the faces, but overall in excellent condition with no major issues, the vellum especially clean and bright. Issued to the overseer of a church in Frilingen (probably modern Freilingen) in Germany, this bull orders the return of the vacated ecclesiastical seat and benefices of the church of St. James in Hergelzhausen, in the diocese of Frilingen, to two…

Description:
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1914. 229 x 140 mm. (9 x 5 1/2"). Two volumes. Edited by Leonard Cyril Martin. Appealing contemporary hunter green half calf, raised bands, spines attractively gilt in compartments with large central fleuron and volute cornerpieces, one red and one black morocco label, marbled endpapers, top edges gilt, other edges UNOPENED. ◆Spines uniformly sunned to a soft brown, minor rubbing to extremities, but the bindings quite sound and generally pleasant, and an immaculate copy internally, the obviously unread text very clean, fresh, and bright, with generous margins. According to DNB, the works of Henry Vaughan (1621-95) "anticipate the Romantics in expressing a loving appreciation of the natural world. His sense of the sacredness of nature may be related to his reading in the hermetic books. . . . There is no sharp distinction between God and his universe. No place is especially sacred, because every place is sacred; to use Vaughan's words, God is 'in all things, though…

Description:
Northeastern Italy [Verona or Mantua?], ca. 1470. 532 x 379 mm. (21 x 15"). Six four-line staves of music with text beneath in a pleasing rounded gothic hand. Rubrics in red, a variable number of large initials in blue or red with elaborate penwork in red or purple. ◆The usual slight yellowing on the hair side of the leaf, occasional fading of the text, other trivial imperfections, but generally IN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE CONDITION. These are very well-preserved leaves from an antiphonal (also called an antiphonary or antiphoner), the service book that contains the sung portions of the Divine Office, the cycle of daily devotions performed by members of the clergy and by members of religious orders. All of the leaves offered here come from a large fragment of a one-volume Temporale that would have been part of a vast multi-volume antiphonal. The texts include Saturday offices from the beginning of the year until Easter. Although the leaves show some traces of use, they are generally in a remarkable…

Description:
France, second half of the 13th century. Each leaf measures 330 x 240 mm. (13 x 9 3/8"). Double column, 38 lines of text in a proto-gothic hand. Rubrics in red, running title and numerous paragraph marks in red and blue, one leaf with one two-line initial in blue with red pen flourishes. Margins with several text corrections, one leaf with a catch-word. ◆Faint soiling and a few negligible stains touching text (not affecting legibility), but overall FINE SPECIMENS with very few flaws. Containing part of a popular treatise on the Vices, these well-preserved and attractive large format leaves come from a manuscript that may have been contemporary to the life of the author, William Perault (ca. 1190-1270). Although the so-called "Seven Deadly Sins" that we still recognize today remained a popular moral paradigm throughout the Middle Ages, it was by no means canonical. Authors were free to borrow, manipulate, and elaborate on the topic at will, resulting in a profusion of treatises and competing…

This is the luminous vellum printing of the fourth publication of the Doves Press, gathering a number of poems by Tennyson written at various times in his long life, all of them reflecting his abiding interest in Homer and Greek myth. In contrast to Kelmscott Press founder William Morris' proclivity toward the Baroque, Thomas J.
