(Hoffmann, E.T.A.) Voerster, Jürgen 160 JAHRE E.T.A. HOFFMANN-FORSHUNG 1805-1965: EINE BIBLIOGRAPHIE MIT INHALTSERFASSUNG UND ERLÄUTERUNGEN
Stuttgart Fritz Eggert 1967 8vo. cloth, paper cover and spine labels 227+(1) pages
First edition. Catalogues works by Ernst Theodor Amadeus Hoffman (1776--1822) and studies related to the German writer. Though interested in music and painting, the professional jurist's legacy is sustained in his short stories. Most of his best work was produced in the last ten years of his life, after he came to understand that his talents for composing were not as strong as he might wish. His fiction is considered the first flowering of the horror and fantasy short story, and had a profound impact on later writers, including Edgar Allan Poe and Carl Jung. Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker is based on Hoffmann's tales from 1816. Engraved portrait frontispiece of Hoffmann opposite the title page. Loosely inserted is a commemorative book label that indicates that this volume came from the reference library of H.P. Kraus purchased by Oak Knoll Books at the auction sale.

Hupp, Otto EIN MISSALE SPECIALE VORLÄUFER DES PSALTERIUMS VON 1457.
Munich Nationale Verlagsanstalt 1898 4to. quarter leather with paste paper-covered boards and leather spine label, original stiff paper wrappers bound-in 30; 98; 142 pages
Three volumes bound together. The second and third volumes are entitled Gutenbergs ersten Drucke and Zum Streit um das Missale speciale Constantiense, respectively. Three monographs of Hupp's analysis of the Missale Speciale, which he discovered in 1880. Each subsequent volume corrects the conjectures set forth in earlier issues and offers new interpretations. The third volume even includes extensive quotes from a number of other scholars. Text samples as well as entire pages of the Missale are reproduced in red, blue, and black-and-white. Though primarily known as a heraldist and ceramicist, this type of study fits naturally into Otto Hupp's concurrent interests as a typeface designer, engraver and artist.
