Ludolph of Saxony wrote the Life of Christ in 1374. I was not just a simple biography. Rather, it also contained a compilation of commentaries from the Church Fathers, dogmatic and moral dissertations, spiritual instructions, meditations, and prayers. It was so important in its time that it was considered to be a summa evangelica, or "highest evangelical."

Description:
Basel. Switzerland: Michael Furter, 1520. Disbound. Very good. The Ship of Fools, first published in 1494 in Basel, Switzerland by Sebastian Brant, was printed by Michael Furter and illustrated by woodcuts from Albrecht Durer. 13 editions were published between 1494 and 1521 (six authorized and seven pirated). The book, a satire on the many then current ecclesiastical abuses as exemplified by Brant's imaginary character, Saint Grobian, the patron saint of vulgarity and coarse manners, was one of the most popular works during the early years of printing, A substantial part of The Ship of Fools' popularity was no doubt due to its marvelous woodcut illustrations, most of which were created by Albrecht Dürer, then a young journeyman woodcut designer working in Basel. This leaf (7½" x 11") is from Furter's 1520 edition titled, Des hochwirdigen Doctor Keiserspergs narenschiff : so er gepredigt hat zü Strassburg in der hohen stifft . . . darin vil weissheit ist zü lerne.

By 1860, over 10,000 miners had descended upon Central City to mine the Gregory Lode and four other major veins that were subsequently found in the region: Bates, Gunnell, Kansas, and Burroughs.Most of the miners worked for companies, and in 1863, and after signing a resolution to form a "hard rock miner's union" rioted and began destroying property at the Bob Trail mine.
