About This Item
New York and Cincinnati: Fr. Pustet & Co., 1881. [2], viii, 499 pages. Original maroon cloth stamped in gilt and black. 19.5 x 10.5 cm. Spine a little sun-faded; wear and tiny tears to spine ends; moderate spotting to covers. Edges are a bit soiled, but the surface of the leaves, though mildly toned, are clean. Good plus. Early bookseller's ticket on the front pastedown: "Edward Perry, Bookseller, Stationer, & Printer, Charleston, S.C." FIRST OF THIS EDITION, being the first English language edition of Heinrich Himioben's "Die Schönheit der Katholischen Kirche" (1841), but substantially revised and augmented by the translator to adapt the work for use in the United States. Himioden's book was itself a heavily revised version ("almost a new work" writes Shadler, p. viii) of Gregor Rippel's "Alterhumb, Ursprung und Bedeutung aller Ceremonien, Gebräuchen und Gewohnheiten der Heil. Catholischen Kirchen" (1723). Shadler's American edition was highly successful and often reprinted, with a 28th ed. appearing by 1919. The first edition offered here is a bit scarce in trade, and we found no other copies for sale at the time of cataloging (7/21). Francis J. Shadler was born in Germany in 1834, studied for the priesthood in Mainz, and served as a priest in the Diocese of Charleston. The author of the introduction, Patrick Neison Lynch (1817-1882), was the third Catholic bishop of Charleston.
