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.

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

Description:
This rare and stunning 1910 edition tells the true (though exaggerated) story of Miyamoto, Japan's most famous sword expert, philosopher and ronin. It features two maps and several beautiful illustrations, some of which are in color. It is in good condition save for a water spot on the top of the spine of Volume II. The tissue paper used to cover and protect the colored illustrations is intact, but spotted. At some point in its life, a bookseller placed a sticker over the "Published by Author - Yokohama" text on the title pages of both volumes. See photos. Otherwise, these volumes have aged extremely well. This book was self-published by the author as a small collection and is exceedingly rare and would make a proud addition to collectors specializing in world history, Japan, samurai, Eastern philosophy or rare books.

Hardcover. Fine. 4to. Bound in 20th-century 1/4-vellum over marbled boards. Strasbourg: Matthias Schürer, July 1510. Second Strasbourg edition of Erasmus heavily annotated collection of Greek and Latin proverbs. Printed in Roman and Greek types. This is the original version, containing 818 adages, which is considerably shorter than the later expanded versions published under the title Adagiorum chiliades. (Adams E-420; Bezzel, Erasmusdrucke, 50; Van der Haeghen, Bibliotheca Erasmiana, p.25-6; Bibl. Belgica II, 276: no. E.61; Muller, Strasbourg II, p. 179, no. 45.) The Adagia could only have been possible in the new world of European education, in which careful attention to a broader range of classical texts produced a much fuller picture of the literature of antiquity. Its impact has been long lasting. Such popular expressions such as one step at a time, between a rock and a hard place, break the ice, an iron in the fire, looking a gift horse in the mouth, and many other sayings can trace their…
