Description:
1687 Travels of Chardin in PERSIA Middle East Iraq Turkey Iran Voyages French

A rare French edition of Jean Chardin's "Travels into Persia and the East Indies". This book is regarded as one of the finest works of early Western scholarship on Persia and the Near East. This printing was published at the same time as other French edition, all are considered first editions. In this book Chardin discusses his journeys from Constantinople to the Black Sea, Persia, and throughout the Middle East (Kashan, Iraq; Armenia, Crimea, and Georgia). The end of his journey took him through the Cape of Good Hope, on his way home.

Upon his return, he was considered quite a celebrity in London; though, according to Evelyn he was 'not inclined to talke wonders". He met with famous members of the Royal Society, all of whom took great interest in his voyage. He told them of his witnessing of Abbas II's coronation, and the jewels and fine ornaments he had seen.

1840 HANDEL Dettingen Te Deum Classical Music Austrian Succession WAR

Alongside Johann Sebastian Bach, George Frederic Handel was one of the two greatest Baroque music composers. Best known for his 'Messiah', Handel was responsible for hundreds of pieces of music, many of which were written with liturgical texts. Handel's 1743 masterpiece 'Dettingen Te Deum' was written in honor of the British victory at Dettingen in the War of Austrian Succession.
Handel, who had become proud of his English home, wrote this setting of 'Te Deum' for the day King George II appointed a day of celebration in honor of the victory. Like many of Handel's works, it features chorus, full orchestra, and solos.
This Varey edition of Handel features a piano reduction as well as the choral and solo parts.

Description:
1724 French Essays of Michel Montaigne France Renaissance Philosophy Humanism

"The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself."
― Michel de Montaigne, Essays

First published in 1580, the Essays of Michel de Montaigne were a collection of essays and writings on a variety of topics and content. Montaigne was rather decisive in his rhetoric and used various Ancient Greek, Latin, and Italian texts as examples and references, such as Lucretius and Plutarch quotations. Montaigne himself stated that the goal of his essays was to describe man with 'utter frankness and honesty.' According to the scholar Paul Oskar Kristeller,
"the writers of the period were keenly aware of the miseries and ills of our earthly existence".
Montaigne sought to break man down into his basic features, which, at the time, was extreme volatility. He wrote on marriage being an absolute necessity for raising children, but he also quoted, in the 'Essays,' that "Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds… Read More

Description:
1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius Marburg

A rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)

One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.
This extremely rare 16th-century edition of 'On the… Read More

According to Hugh Chisolm, this book
"discusses more comprehensively than any other, the legal rights and duties of the English clergy"
It also covers church constitutions, Anglican canons, and articles and liturgy of the Church of England.

1623 John Wemyss The Christian Synagogue JUDAISM in Scotland Hebrew Temple RARE

John Wemyss was an early 17th-century Scottish clergyman who was much better known for his studies in Hebrew exegesis. He is widely considered to be the pioneering Jewish scholar in Scotland, much in part to this advocating for Jewish culture in Scotland. In 1623, Wemyss, also spelled Weemes, published his first work of Judaica, 'The Christian Synagogue'. In this book, Weemes focuses on the customs of both the ancient Hebrews and modern Jews and the many Europeans that have converted to Judaism. There is a heavy emphasis on prayer and sacrifice throughout this book. According to Culotta, Weemes compares the use of prayer and sacrifice in both the Hebrew temple and the Hebrew synagogue.

This book also contains descriptions of the Old Testament Hebrew temple as well as the Temple of Jerusalem as it was during the time of Moses.

New York, Grove Press, 2022, trade paperback, 272 pp, Advance Uncorrected Proof (ARC), New. Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
