[i-xxi]; frontis ("Triumph over Death");1-[246]; errata leaf. Translated from "Traite de la verite de la religion chretienne contre les athees, epicuriens, payens, juifs, mahometans et autres infideles" (first published in Antwerp, 1581). Aldine anchor to title. Rebacked (& tipped) circa 1820 with trimming to page ends causing occasional loss to marginalia final letters (see image and/or request further detail). Glue residue to p. v; light impression to p. xi. We offer the following observations from Professor Jean-Paul Pittion author of Le Livre a la Renaissance (Brepols, 2014): "The use of the Aldine anchor, in place of typographical address is significant: the translation was intended for clandestine distribution (probably by Venetian booksellers, via Geneva). Such a work on the true marks of the visible Church would not have been welcomed in Catholic lands, given the reputation of Mornay, a leading Calvinist figure and well-known controversialist. The first edition of the Treatise was… Read More

Typed letter by Cantor on his St. Regis Hotel letterhead. Letter reads: "Dear Mrs. Friedman: We've got a date together, you and I. Usually someone else does the inviting.

I'm asking you as a key UJA contributor and leader to lunch with me on Monday, September 19th at 12:30 p.m. at the Commodore Hotel. This is n't a fund-raising meeting, but believe me, it's just as important. Why should I be writing to you about it? I'll tell you. I got back recently from another of my trips overseas. I saw again with my own eyes what our people there are up against. I'm talking about the men and women and kids still in DP camps, the people desperate to leave Eastern Europe. I'm talking about the sufferers in the miserable North African ghettos. I'm talking about the hundreds of thousands who at last reached Israel, the land of their dreams, only to find that they've still got to… Read More
