The Apocrypha: Translated out of the Greek and Latin Tongues

New York, Thomas Nelson & Sons, . First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Another fine contribution to the Nelson's Series of books religious and theological in nature, being "the version set forth A.D. 1611 compared with the most ancient authorities and revised A.D. 1894." From the personal library of the noted English historian of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, Professor Peter Morris Green, now of Iowa City, Iowa, 99 years old, nearly blind, but still working, in this case on a new translation and with annotations, of Herodotus, his favorite historian. His penciled notations are left intact. Fine bookplate of Mildred Board affixed inside front flap, but her name is blacked out. Short, black hardcover format, black cloth over bords, still sharp and distinct gilt lettering to front cover, embossed ruling there. Date of publication and author not stated, though it appears to be 1895, and a lengthy, dense Preface provides the fascinating back-story of the process from 1879 to 1895 when these revisions took hold, representing the long work of three different committees of Bible scholars in three centers in England. The Apocrypha are the otherwise sidelined books of the Bible, including here, the Book of Esdras, the Book of Tobit, the Book of Judith, the Book of Esther, the Wisdom of Solomon, the Book of Ecclesiasticus, the Book of Baruch, the Epistle of Jeremiah, the Song of the Three, the Holy Children, the History of Susanna, the Story of Bel and the Dragon, the Prayer of Manasses, and the Book of Maccabees. 376 pp. Double-column texts.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . .

Aristotle

Politics & Poetics

New York, Heritage Press, 1964. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Size: Large 8vo 9" - 10. Sturdy, attractive, tightly bound in hardcover format, generally clean, unmarked interior, minimal rubbing to extremities. A justly dubbed classic in Ancient Greece history and culture, politics and poetics, a fine exemplar of Heritage Press production standards and with Sandglass pamphlet laid in. Aristotle's classic work is edited by Benjamin Jowett and S.H. Butcher and with an Horace M. Kallen. Leonard Baskin's fine black-and-white engravings grace the frontis and throughout the text. Twenty-three centuries after its compilation, the Politics, as it's known, still asks central questions. His analysis is based upon 150 different city constitutions and a wide range of political issues to try to establish what's best for men (not women and slaves) and city function. Aristotle believed that city constitutions should be ideal in and of themselves but also serve men's just needs, the ones accorded by man, "a political animal." Brown decorated cloth over boards. 331 pp.tial.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Fine
