(Updike, John) De Bellis, Jack & Michael Broomfield JOHN UPDIKE: A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF PRIMARY AND SECONDARY MATERIALS, 1948-2007
With "Foreword to my own Bibliography" by John Updike and a CD Supplement New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2007 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 624 pages (plus 359 pages on CD-ROM)
First Edition. John Updike is internationally renowned for his novels, short stories, poems, essays and criticism. He has won two Pulitzers, the National Book Award, the American Book Award, the National Book Critics Circle Award, and many other prizes. Updike has written a "Foreword to My Own Bibliography" especially for this book.
This definitive guide to materials by and about this prolific American author consists of a printed first volume and a second volume on CD (a first for Oak Knoll Press). The A and B sections of Volume I, concerning separately printed works by Updike and books to which he has contributed, are superb examples of descriptive bibliography. The printed volume also features over 500 grayscale images of book covers, jackets, broadsides, and many seldom seen items. It includes comprehensive listings of Updike's short fiction, poems, articles, essays, and reviews, as well as extensive documentation of letters, speeches, dramatic works, manuscripts, interviews, and blurbs. Volume II contains entries for material about Updike and his work (reviews, commentary, and theses), several appendices (media appearances, work read by others, works in translation, exhibits and catalogs), and full-color versions of images appearing in the printed volume. John Updike: a Bibliography of Primary and Secondary Materials, 1948-2007 provides an indispensable guide to Updike's work and commentary about it.
Jack De Bellis, professor emeritus of English (Lehigh University), has authored The John Updike Encyclopedia (2000) and John Updike: Critical Responses to the "Rabbit" Saga (2004), as well as several essays and reviews concerning Updike's novels. This bibliography greatly expands his 1994 compilation for Greenwood Press. De Bellis has also published two books on the poet Sidney Lanier, and articles on writers ranging from Shakespeare to Ken Kesey, and from F. Scott Fitzgerald to Truman Capote. His first published work, on Andrew Lytle, was a bibliography. De Bellis was a Fulbright scholar to the University of Toulouse in France. He lives with his wife in Allentown, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia where he was born.
Michael Broomfield, a corporate lawyer by profession, has become, over the past 40 years, a preeminent collector of first editions and other materials by a number of American writers, including Raymond Carver, E.E. Cummings, William Faulkner, Joseph Heller, Robinson Jeffers and many living authors. Collecting work in many forms, Broomfield displays remarkable attention to detail and an acute understanding of the complexities of editions. He has what is probably the most extensive private collection of John Updike materials. This bibliography is Broomfield's first book. He lives in New York City with his wife and their daughter.

Veen, M. van ` VERSCHOONINGHE VAN DE ROOMSCHE AFGODERYE`. DE POLEMIEK VAN CALVIJN MET NICODEMIETEN, IN HET BIJZONDER MET COORNHERT.
`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2001 6.5 x 9.75 inches cloth. 282 pages.
With English summary. John Calvin (1509-1564) and Dirck Volckerts Coornhert (1522-1590) are both exponents of movements which have profoundly influenced Dutch society. Calvin was convinced that faith required a church, whereas Coornhert held that one could be a good believer without a church. The polemic between Coornhert and Calvin (1560-1562) centered around this theme. In this book the arguments of Coornhert and Calvin are analyzed and compared to those of contemporaries who participated in the same debate. Moreover Coornhert's treatise against Calvin is edited and thus accessible to the modern reader. (Bibliotheca Humanistica & Reformatorica, Vol. LX).

(Vives, Juan Luis) González, Enrique, Salvador Albiñana, and Victor Gutiérrez VIVES EDICIONS PRINCEPS
València Universitat de València, Generalitat Valenciana, Conselleria de Cultura, Educació i Ciència 1992 4to. cloth, dust jacket 325, (3) pages
First edition. The catalogue of an exhibition exploring the life, writings, and influence of the Valencia-born Renaissance humanist scholar Juan Luis Vives (1492-1540). The catalogue essays, in Spanish, Catalan, and English, explore the problems of defining and identifying first editions of Vives' writings; his correspondence with the jurist Franciscus Cranevelt; and, through a broad survey accomplished in a list format, his correspondence in general. These precede the well-illustrated catalogue entries, which are broken down chronologically to reflect the places where the author lived and wrote (Valencia, Paris, Bruges, Louvain, and England), the works others were producing and that he read in those locations, and how the whole of these influences affected his humanistic scholarly approach and production. Further sections examine later reprintings of the author's work, works attributed to him, his well-illustrated epistolary work, and early studies involving and biographies of the author. Indices list the titles of all the works examined in the catalogue; the works by Vives himself; the various printers; and the names of historical characters contained within the book, all in alphabetical order. Illustrations appear in both black-and-white and in color.

First edition (Sadlier 3304 ,Shaw Shoemaker 6826). Book was printed in six volumes. The present set lacks volume six. (See NCBEL 970 for English first edition) Volume four includes an advertisement for the book showing the author to be "the Author of Diary of a London Physician", however this does not appear on any of the actual title pages. Edgar Allan Poe reviewed Ten Thousand A-Year in Grahams Magazine , Nov 1841 issue, calling it "shamefully ill-written". It was, however, one of the most popular novels of its time. The boards of all the volumes are quite worn, with volume three warped. The spine ends are tattered and the spine labels worn off in places. Scattered foxing. Extremely scarce in this Philadelphia printing.
