Farren, Donald and August A. Imholtz, Jr. (editors) THE BALTIMORE BIBLIOPHILES AT FIFTY, 1954-2004.
With "Children's Books in Bygone Baltimore" An essay and a catalogue by Linda F. Lapides Baltimore The Baltimore Bibliophiles 2009 6 x 9 inches hardcover 176 pages
With this volume the Baltimore Bibliophiles celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of their founding, demonstrating the flourishing of bibliophily in Baltimore and the vigor of the organization. Included in the book are an account and a catalogue of early children's books in Baltimore by Linda F. Lapides. A separate section presents the historical record of the organization.
In 1954 two remarkably learned and energetic women, Dorothy E. Miner, of the Walters Art Gallery, and Elizabeth Baer, of the Garrett Library at Evergreen House, founded the Baltimore Bibliophiles. Since then the club has met regularly to share fellowship in support of (in the words of its constitution) "matters pertaining to books and manuscripts and the collecting thereof, bookbindings, typography, printing, paper, calligraphy, prints and book illustration, maps, and aspects of the book arts such as bookbinding, book conservation, book design and related fields" and to hear papers, scholarly and entertaining, delivered by Baltimoreans and experts from afield.

The book contains historical accounts of the club, an interview with P. William Filby -- recurrent speaker at meetings of the club and the only person to serve twice non-consecutively as president, an interview with newspaperman and longtime member, James H. Bready, lists of members, meetings, and publications, the constitution of the club, and a list of the subscribers to the publication of the book.

The section "Children's Books in Bygone Baltimore," which occupies two-thirds of the book, demonstrates the collecting of children's books in Baltimore. An essay by Linda F. Lapides, "For Amusement and Instruction," is the first sustained account of books published for and read by children in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Baltimore. It is accompanied by a fully annotated narrative catalogue of 135 items in the distinguished collection of Baltimore children's books that Linda F. Lapides and her husband, Julian L. Lapides, have assembled. The essay includes a bibliographical record of the development of the collection, and the catalogue is provided with indexes of authors and associated persons, of titles, and of printers, publishers, and booksellers.

This book is a contribution both to the history of bibliophile organizations in the United States and to scholarship on early children's books in America.

The book contains 16 black-and-white photographs of children's books in the catalogue, 3 portrait photographs of principal members of the Baltimore Bibliophiles, Dorothy E. Miner, Elizabeth Baer, and P. William Filby, and -- as a color frontispiece -- the illustration of Baltimore's Washington Monument that appears on the cover of a copybook published ca. 1840 in Baltimore.

Linda F. Lapides, life-long resident of Baltimore, is a former librarian at the Enoch Pratt Free Library and longtime collector of children's books published in and associated with Baltimore. Donald Farren is a retired librarian and author of a new introduction to the Oak Knoll Press reprint of Geoffrey Ashall Glaister's Encyclopedia of the Book (1996, 2001). August A. Imholtz, Jr., was president of the Baltimore Bibliophiles, 2006-2008.

Flamm, Eugene S. PRINTING AND THE BRAIN OF MAN: THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY BRAIN
New York The Grolier Club 2011 8 x 11 inches paperback 100 pages
One hundred books focusing on the anatomy and surgery of the brain, as it evolved up until 1600, are presented in this catalogue. The books included in the exhibition are fundamental works on surgery and anatomy, from which the present scientific field has developed. From the early sixteenth century onward, there were many books devoted to the brain, head injuries, and the skull. There were also many books that were published to guide the surgery necessary to explore the anatomy of the nervous system. Through his collection, Flemm has tried to foster an understanding of what sixteenth-century surgeons thought, what they wore during surgery, instruments used, what was considered innovative, and what ideas led to new developments. Examples of catalogues and bibliographies that list the works are also presented. The book is beautifully illustrated, contains a list of references, and includes an index of names and printers.

Gatch, Milton McC. THE LIBRARY OF LEANDER VAN ESS AND THE EARLIEST AMERICAN COLLECTIONS OF REFORMATION PAMPHLETS.
BSA Occastional Publications, No.1 New York The Bibliographical Society of America 2007 8.5 x 11 inches paperback 212 pages
Reformation pamphlets (or "Flugschriften") were among the first rare book acquisitions of American libraries. Gatch traces the remarkable history of the Leander van Ess collection purchased by the Union Theological Seminary in 1838, the first and largest collection of these religious tracts to arrive in America. He notes how they were originally obtained by van Ess, a Catholic priest, translator of the Bible, and a former Benedictine monk, who built an impressive personal collection of books and manuscripts when monastic libraries were being dispersed during the Napoleonic wars. Gatch has also identified a significant group of pamphlets assembled at Wittenberg during the 1520s, Luther's most creative period. Never before accurately described, the surviving pamphlets from this collection are listed here in the order of van Ess's own catalogue, with a set of indexes to authors and printers, and with concordances to major bibliographical resources. Gatch reviews the history Reformation pamphlet collecting in the United States from these earliest efforts up to the beginning of the twentieth century, and reflects on how these primary resources were used (or neglected) by American church historians. An extensive bibliography and a detailed index of the introductory essays are included. Illustrated. Distributed for the Bibliographical Society of America.

Gauz, Valeria (editor) PORTUGUESE AND BRAZILIAN BOOKS IN THE JOHN CARTER BROWN LIBRARY 1537-1839.
With a Selection of Braziliana Printed in Countries Other than Portugal and Brazil Providence The John Carter Brown Library 2009 7.5 x 11.25 inches hardcover 792 pages
Compiled by the rare book cataloguer Valeria Gauz, this work describes in detail, item by item, the finest collection in North America of books relating to Brazil before the country declared its independence from Portugal in 1822.

Nearly 650 of the titles in this catalogue antedate 1800. For the period from 1800 through 1822, some 500 titles are described, including 165 printed in Brazil itself after the Impressão Regia opened a branch in Rio de Janeiro in 1808 and presses began operating in Bahia.

Each of the approximately 1,300 titles catalogued in the book is annotated, some extensively, with historical and biographical information, and the major bibliographies of Luso-Brazilian printing, such as those by Rubens Borba de Moraes, are regularly cited. For libraries with significant colonial Braziliana holdings, this book is an essential reference work. Historians and other scholars, librarians, collectors, and booksellers will find it to be an invaluable aid to research in the field.

The arrangement of entries in the volume is chronological, from 1537 to 1839, and within each year the titles are listed alphabetically. The work is completely indexed by author and title, and there is a special index to government laws and decrees, a provenance list, and helpful bibliographical guides, including a general bibliography at the end that offers readers suggestions of other related works of interest. There are forty-six illustrations throughout the text.

Valeria Gauz has been a cataloguer at the National Library in Rio de Janeiro and was employed at the John Carter Brown Library from 1998 to 2005. The John Carter Brown Library is an independently funded and administered institution for advanced research in history and the humanities founded in 1846 and located on the campus of Brown University since 1901. The Library has unparalleled strength in primary sources relating to the history of North and South America between 1492 and ca. 1825.

Distributed in North America only for the John Carter Brown Library.
