0. Book, 1960 1st edition, one of 800 copies printed. Bernard V. Bothmer in collaboration with Herman de Meulenaere and Hans Wolfgang Müller. bibliography: p. xxvii-xxix, 390 pp. This last great epoch of Egypt's cultural achievement coincides with the rise of Western civilization in the eastern Mediterranean and with the gradual evolution of Greek art. This book is a guide to the exhibition. Though it contains many general observations on the development of sculptural forms, it is not a treatise on art of the Late Period. About one-third of the material has not been previously published, and an even greater proportion has received only summary notice. Pretty good condition, but for the unusual scarring of the rear board [pictured].

1785 Shingaku - Japanese Religious Movement - Handwritten & Well Illustrated

0. Soft cover. Book, --A Handwritten, Well-Illustrated Treatise on Shingaku-- the religious movement that flourished in Japan in 1725-1875.

Shingaku arose in Japan as the country emerged from centuries as a closed society- as Japan industrialized, Shingaku became a cultural foundation. Its religious teachings fused Confucian values with Buddhism and Japanese Shinto. This is an unusual item in very nice condition- hand-written & well illustrated manuscript, c1785, describing Shingaku. Measures 6"x 9", there are (47) pages of manuscript and (21) fine ink drawings. Some early worm tunneling evident throughout. Poor.
