Edinburgh: W. Blackwood; London: T. Cadell, 1823. Hard Cover. 2 p. l., [vii]-lviii, 279, [1] p.; 19 cm. Title continues: "and interspersed with extracts in the same stanza as the original, by William Stewart Rose." Berni recast Boiardo's poem. "Berni undertook the revision of the whole poem, avowedly altering no sentiment, removing or adding no incident, but simply giving to each line and stanza due gracefulness and polish. His task he completed with marvellous success; scarcely a line remains as it was, and the general opinion has pronounced decisively in favour of the revision over the original. " Rose was an intimate of Byron and part of a circle of English italianists. Armorial bookplate of John Croft Deverell. Vg, bound in full leather. Stock#OB958.

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.
