Pinchart, Alexandre and Ch. de Brou LA PLUS ANCIENNE GRAVURE SUR CUIVRE FAITE DANS LES PAYS-BAS and LES GRANDES ARMOIRIES DU DUC CHARLES DE BOURGOGNE
2 volumes (Paris) n.p. n.d. (but circa 1876) 8vo. later cloth with embossed seal (entwined Ls in an oval, surmounted by a crown) 9 pages + one fold out leaf of plates in black and white; 20 pages
A pair of offprint articles, one responding to the other, from La Revue Universelle des Arts and the Bulletin des Commissions royales d'art et d'archéologie, bound separately. The Pinchart article seems to dismantle the criticism voiced by de Brou in his initial article challenging the authorship status of the Flemish Master ES of 1466 in as far as regards the large coats-of-arms of the duc de Bourgogne, preferring instead to side with earlier scholars Harzen and Alvin. The second article, in typical scholarly fashion, attacks its predecessor articles on the grounds of their conclusions and the linguistic formulations thereof, in order to underscore the greater clarity and convincingness of its arguments. As a pair, interesting for the individual desirous of learning about early copper engraving in the Low Countries, as well as about the dynamics of nineteenth-century French scholarly debate in print. Traces of original blue stiff paper wrapper visible along spine of the volume.

(Rilke, Rainer Maria) Obermüller and Herbert Steiner KATALOG DER RILKE-SAMMLUNG RICHARD VON MISES
(Frankfurt) Insel-Verlag (1966) small 4to. cloth with leather title label, slipcase 431, (4) pages
First edition of this bibliography of the works of Rilke. The Austrian writer Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is remembered as one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century for his emotional, insightful, sensual poetry. He answered his calling at an early age: his first volume of poetry was published when he was only twenty years old. Though he was born in Prague, he spent his life traveling and working all over Europe--in Italy, Spain, Switzerland and France.
This book catalogues the items in the collection of Richard von Mises (1883-1953), the Austrian mathematician and scholar. He taught in Strausburg, Dresden and Berlin before complications arising during World War Two compelled him move to the United States, where he accepted a post teaching at Harvard University. Hugely influential in the field of mathematics and hydro- and aerodynamics, von Mises also fostered his interest in philosophy and poetry. In particular, he was recognized as one of the leading authorities on Rilke. This bibliography contains over 1,700 entries of early and rare printings of Rilke's works, as well as translations, periodicals, recordings, sources, and pieces on Rilke. Frontispiece is a tipped-in color portrait of Rilke from a painting. Loose bookplate indicates that this copy was purchased from the collection of H.P. Kraus.
