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.

1689 NOSTRADAMUS Prophecies Astrology Astronomy Occult Visions Prophecy RARE

"From the enslaved populace, songs,
Chants and demands
While princes and lords are held captive in prisons.
These will in the future by headless idiots
Be received as divine prayers."
– Nostradamus, prediction of the French Revolution

Nostradamus, considered, perhaps, the most famous prophetical seer, has been credited with prophesying important and impactful world events such as the French Revolution, Great London Fire, and reigns of Napoleon and Hitler. Nostradamus claimed that the basis for his "Prophecies" was founded in his judgment of astrology. He was heavily criticized by astrologers for being 'incompetent,' as no one could truly predict the future.
This rare 1689 Bordeaux edition features a fine, woodcut engraving on the title page and includes over 300 Nostradamus prophecies and visions.

1845 Davy Crockett TEXAS Battle of the Alamo INDIANS Mexico Creek War America 2v

"I know, that obscure as I am, my name is making a considerable deal of fuss in the world."
― Davy Crockett
Davy Crockett has long been one of the most iconic American folk heroes. While his legend has grown immensely since his military and political adventures, he did make an impact on the shape of the United States in the 19th-century.
In 1834, prior to the Texas Revolution, Crockett began writing his autobiography, now known as 'Narrative of the Life of David Crockett'. This work provides a full and complete discourse of his journey through Tennessee all the way to Texas into San Antonio. It also gives insight to the military and political engagements of Crockett but focuses heavily on his wars with Native Americans and Mexicans, particularly the Creek War, Texas War, and the Battle of the Alamo.
Crockett's 'Narrative' was published throughout the 19th-century including this 1845 two-volume edition. This particular… Read More

"Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them."
– David Hume
David Hume, nephew of David Hume the philosopher, was a famous 18th-century Scottish jurist known for his important works on law during the Enlightenment. One such work was his commentary on Scottish law. This book, according to the DNB, is the "standard work on Scottish criminal law" and helped lay the foundations of modern criminal law and would be referenced and cited even into the 21st-century.

Description:
1519 LIVY History of Rome Gladiators Hannibal Punic Wars ALDINE Post Incunable

"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."
― Livy, The History of Rome

Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita' or 'Histories'. Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.

While any edition of Livy is desirable, this particular volume from the 1519 post-incunable edition is considered to be one of the most desirable and valuable early edition of Livy. The famed Venetian printer Aldus Manutius published this edition which was edited by Giovanni Francesco Torresani. Aldus published this work in five distinct parts from 1518 through 1533, this tome being the third of the series. Notable topics covered in this volume include:

1648 Thomas Fuller Holy vs Profane State Joan of Arc Witch Endor Paracelsus
'The Holy State and the Profane State' is a 17th-century book by English historian Thomas Fuller. Through maxims and short commentary, Fuller describes the roles and life of every member of the holy state and the profane state (i.e., good people vs. bad people) – instruction on how to live a good life for wives, husbands, and children, physicians, merchants, notes on how to travel, service roles for bishops, and others. Fuller balances the roles of good living with those who live the 'profane' life – hypocrites, liars, atheists, tyrants, witches (including the Witch of Endor), and even comments on Joan of Arc as a villain!

1672 Court Songs & Poems 1ed Poetaster Robert Veel English Charles VIII France

Robert Veel was a 17th-century English poet, who, according to most poet scholars, was a poetaster or…inferior poet. While living a rather less-than upright lifestyle, Veel was eager to fund his habits and life of folly, Veel wrote poetic verses in hopes to amuse others. He died at only 28 years old, but before he passed, Veel published, in 1672, a collection of long songs, poetic verses, and drinking shanties called "New Court Songs and Poems". One is particularly curious – a love song from Charles VIII of France!

v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
