CHRYSOSTOMUS, JOHANNES
Operum secundum volumen. Homiliae super Mattheum et Joannem. Venice: Bernardus Stagninus & Gregorius de Gregoriis, 1503. 230 leaves on vellum, Roman type. (7), 9-184 (lacking 57); 1-48 leaves (last leaf fragmentary). Folio, printed on vellum, woodcut initials, title in large rotunda, rebound in fine modern morocco over marbled boards, giltlettered spine label. Unique full vellum copy of the second volume of Chrysostom’s Operum. The present unique production is noteworthy for its fine typography and the quality of the vellum leaves. No copies of the present volume on vellum have been recorded. However, Van Praet (VI, 1828 supplement, p. 156, no. 327-bis) records a vellum copy of the first volume in the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris, from the library of Rev. Henry Drury (cat. 1827, no. 1194). Manuscript ex-libris (Richard Peck; George Whitmore, 1832) and marginalia suggest the present copy likewise came from a British collection, although no record exists to link the two volumes with certainty. Incomplete, the present volume comprises the title page, parts of the index for the Homilies on St. Matthew and on the Pauline Epistles, but the text present consists of most of the former work, none of the latter, and much of the homilies on the Gospel of Saint John. Collation: 7 leaves signed R (title, salutation of the editorcorrector Thomas Januensis de Valerano to the monk Severinus de Pedepennis de Betonto with verses of Joannes Rivius, 12 pp. of index in three columns); bB-zZ8 (=ff. 9-184, lacking aA (1-8) and hH1 (f. 57)); Aa-Ff8 (ff. 1-48, incomplete at the end, with last leaf cut down). $15,000-20,000

STOEFFLER, JOHANN
Calendarium Romanum magnum. (Oppenheim: Jacobum Kobel, March 24, 1518). 138 leaves; *4, (2), A6, B8, C4, D6, E8, (18), 75 numbered on recto, *7. Folio, contemporary calf ruled in blind. First edition of Johann Stoeffler’s richly illustrated compendium of astronomical, cosmological, medical, and historical writings commissioned by the Lateran Council as a means of revising the Gregorian calendar. The first section of the book is printed in red and black and consists of a gazetteer, giving correct geographical coordinates for 24 cities, each accompanied by a small woodcut view; a proposed calendar, with each month accompanied by corresponding Zodiacs and monthly labors; solar and lunar eclipse tables, accompanied by 63 diagrams of eclipses for the years 1518-1573; a table of moveable festivals, solar cycles, and lunar cycles, with small signs of the zodiac indicated, for the years 1518-1579; and illustrations of astronomical instruments. The tables and diagrams are followed by 41 propositions concerned with the astronomical basis of the ecclesiastical calendar. This is then followed by a section devoted to medical astrology, with a full-page venesection manikin engraving, within a woodcut border, showing when and where to let blood for certain diseases, accompanied by explanatory text and a table indicating the appropriate seasons and zodiac signs for phlebotomy. Johann Stoeffler (1452-1531) was a professor of mathematics at the University of Tubingen, and strove in his Calendarium to bring the proposed Julien calendar in harmony with astronomical events. The work is also prized for its exquisite printing, accomplished by Oppenheim’s first printer, Jacob Kobel (1460-1533).

Tabernaemontanus, gives significant weight to the pharmacological aspects of the plants he describes. He maintained the principle that Providence causes certain plants to grow in a region that are beneficial for the diseases that arise in it; a principle that still has followers today. He lived to see only the first part of his herbal published, in 1588. Numerous editions were published in Germany adding the last two portions of the work. Slight restoration to fore edge and lower corner on first and last few pages vol. 1; vol. 1 repairs to larger portion of lower right corner on pp. 131 and 701 with some loss to text, extensive tear on pp. 685 and 797 repaired; front endpapers of vol. 2 renewed, vol. 1 repaired; hinges of binding repaired, some soiling and scuffing to leather; spines partially repaired with portion starting to detach on vol. 2; toning to pages, some loss at fore edges; some small marginal tears; minor staining to a few pages; otherwise fine.

MAO ZEDONG (CHAIRMAN MAO)
Mao Zhu Xi Yu Lu.(Quotations of Chairman Mao, “Little Red Book”) Compiled and edited by Tian Xiao Guang. Peking: The Central Intelligence Bureau of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, (1964). 12mo, original white sewn wraps fitting inside flexible plastic red vinyl dust-jacket with embossed title and Red Star to upper cover. First edition, first issue, with half-title printed in red, title printed in green and red, portrait of Chairman Mao in brown ink and Lin Biao’s calligraphic endorsement (“Study Chairman Mao’s writings, follow his teachings and act according to his instructions”) in black ink. Second binding, simultaneously printed with copies in first paper wrappers, but the vinyl took longer to produce and was thus released shortly after. It is the second most printed book in history, only after the Bible, with an estimated five-billion copies produced in more than 100 languages in the past forty-five years. The present copy retains the rare one-page endorsement by Lin Bao. Having been accused of plotting to assassinate Mao Tze-Tung, Lin Bao, the former Vice-Chairman of the CCP, was declared a national traitor and individuals were strongly encouraged to tear out his endorsement from copies of Mao’s Quotations. Thus, first editions, such as the present copy, that retain the endorsement are exceedingly rare. Some very minor toning to endpapers; otherwise an exceptionally fine copy with no visible defects. $3,000-5,000

(CIVIL WAR, MURFREESBORO) FORSYTH, FRANCIS
Autographed letter signed (“F. Forsyth”), First Lieutenant, Lee County Union Volunteers, Company G, Thirteenth Infantry Illinois Volunteers, 8 pp., Murfreesboro, Tennessee, January 14, 1863. Forsyth begins by describing the arduous march toward Murfreesboro, wherein the company, falling shortly behind the Confederate army, are involved in a few short skirmishes. They made camp about six miles outside of Murfreesboro. So close were the opposing forces that the men were ordered repeatedly to expel all camp fires. However, according to Forsyth, when daylight broke many of the men re-lit the fires, tipping off the Confederate army, and were attacked with an overwhelming force of artillery and cannon fire. Forsyth describes the confusion that ensued: “Artillery horses half harnessed got scared, some of them wounded, flying in all directions. I come very near being hurt by them. There were six of them, about two steps behind me, all harnessed ... coming like destruction. It was the worst scare I had during the day. Between me and them was two trees - I throwed myself behind them, just as I did so - crash they come against the train. The chains behind them stopped their course.” The men were forced to retreat. A number were killed and wounded. He discusses the regiment’s involvement in the Battle of Murfreesboro, specifically the Battle of Stones River (December 31, 1862 - January 3, 1863) and how they were assigned to bury the dead. He lists a number of soldiers and their wounds, including those who perished.

JAMES, JESSE
Albumen Print Cabinet Card Portrait of Jesse James, with C. C. Giers’ credit and backstamp to verso, signed in bold black ink beneath image (“J W James”), Nashville: C. C. Giers, cabinet card c. 1868-1869, albumen print date unknown. The most iconic photograph of notorious outlaw, Jesse Woodonson James (1847-1882), reproduced in The Many Faces of Jesse James, (Gretna, 1998), p. 46, and Jesse and Frank James: The Family History, (Steele, 1997), p. 20. Probably the only extant signed photograph of the legendary Western gunman, in fine condition with only minor soiling to the verso. Carl Casper Giers (1828-1877) was a prominent photographer in Nashville, Tennessee, and held a studio on Union Street between 1866-1879, with his adopted son, Otto Giers, taking over after his death. While the studio began using the daguerreotype method, they adopted the ambrotype method for a short while, after which they produced albumen prints. Cabinet cards from Giers can be distinguished by the ornate backstamp designs, such as that of the present photograph. City directories show he used the “45 Union St.” address from 1872 until his death in 1877 on the backstamp. The “43&45 Union St.” imprint reflects the 1868-1871 period. The present cabinet card bears the “43&45 Union St.” imprint, suggesting that, while the photograph may be slightly later, the card dates from 1868-1871. According to Philip W. Steele in The Many Faces of Jesse James, it is believed that the James brothers, following a $14,000 bank robbery in Russelville, Kentucky, spent the end of 1868 and most of 1869 in Nashville, Tennesse, where Jesse assumed the name John Davis Howard. At the time, James was courting Zee Mimms, his cousin, who would become his wife, who lived in Missouri outside of St. Louis. (Steele, 33) The present signed albumen print, according to the original owner, was given as a gift to Zee James. Accompanied by a typed letter signed, dated September 3, 1958, from the previous owner, Andrew MacKellar , Captain of the Cunard Line of the RMS Queen Mary from 1954 to his death in 1959, stating that he acquired the photograph from Calvin Tilden Owens, husband of Ethel Rose James (the granddaughter of Jesse James), who confirmed the authenticity of the signed photograph which was bequeathed to her upon her grandmother, Zee James’, death, as part of an inheritance. The photograph has been in private hands since it was purchased from Captain MacKellar in 1958. 4 x 2 1/2 inches. $20,000-30,000

If (my mind) is like some grand building (say the Taylor Building or the New Museum) with a careful porter at the door - and ideas have no chance of getting in unless with good introductions. Now when will you come? We have a college meeting at 1 1/2 today, but not likely it will be over by 3 . . . If it is over by 3, it will be; and if it isn’t it won’t be. That’s logic (This is a quotation - from Aliom’s History of Europe? or some such name - but I dare say you don’t read books).

All lots are sold “AS IS” and without recourse and neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any warranties or representations, express or implied with respect to such lots. Neither Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. nor its consignor(s) makes any express or implied warranty or representation of any kind or nature with respect to merchantability, fitness for purpose, correctness of the catalogue or other description of the physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, medium, material, genuineness, attribution, provenance, period, culture, source, origin, exhibitions, literature or historical significance of any lot sold. The absence of any reference to the condition of a lot does not imply that the lot is in perfect condition or completely free from wear and tear, imperfections or the effects of aging. No statement, whether written or oral, and whether made in the catalogue, or in supplements to the catalogue, an advertisement, a bill of sale, a salesroom posting or announcement, the remarks of an auctioneer, or otherwise, shall be deemed to create any warranty, representation or assumption of liability. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. and its consignor(s) make no warranty or representation, express or implied, that the purchaser will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights to any lot sold. Leslie Hindman Auctioneers Inc. expressly reserves the right to reproduce any image of the lots sold in the catalogue.

Bidding as Principal When making a bid, a bidder is accepting personal liability to pay the purchase price, including the buyer’s premium, all applicable taxes and all other applicable charges, unless it has been explicitly agreed upon in writing with Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. before the commencement of the sale that the bidder is acting as agent on behalf of an identified third party acceptable to Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc., and that Leslie Hindman Auctioneers, Inc. will only look to the principal for payment. Absentee Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out written bids given to us at least 24 hours prior to the sale for the convenience of clients who are not present at the auction in person, by an agent or by telephone.

In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute.
