Illustrated By: Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: Yes, Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Published By: The Bodley Head, London quarto (4to 9+1⁄2 × 12 241 × 305),Pages 35 ISBN: Captain Horatio Pugwash was captain of The Black Pig. His crew was Tom the cabin boy, pirates Barnabus and Willy, and Master Mate. His arch enemy was Cut-Throat Jake. Pugwash's greed and cowardice were for ever getting him in trouble, but Tom always rescued him, though he never got any credit for his work. In 1991 Ryan successfully sued The Guardian and Sunday Correspondent, who had repeated the unfounded myth that the names of the crew all contained sexual innuendo, and that the programme had been taken off the air for that reason. Captain Pugwash ran from 1957 to 1966, and was revived in colour in 1974 to 1975, and again in 1997. The programme also ran as a comic strip in the Radio Times. Ryan, who also created Mary, Mungo and Midge, as well as Sir Prancelot, died in 2009. SKU: BTETM0002622 Approximate Package Dimensions H: 12.5, L: 30, W: 25 (Units: cm), W: 2Kg

1554 HIERONYMI CLARAVACAEI CREMONENSIS. AD PAULUM III PONT. MAX. FASTORUM LIBRI XII NUPER IN LUCEM EDITI By Gerolamo Chiaravacci Very Good

1554 1st Edition ,  HIERONYMI CLARAVACAEI CREMONENSIS. AD PAULUM III PONT. MAX. FASTORUM LIBRI XII NUPER IN LUCEM EDITI By Gerolamo Chiaravacci He was born in Pizzighettone (Cremona) towards the end of the 15th century. We do not know the precise date of his birth. Assuming that Arisi, mentioning him in his Cremona literata (II , p. 91) under the year 1530, refers to the moment of his flourishing, we can think that he was born between 1490 and 1495. In general, the best source for his life is C. himself in Fastorum libri XII . Illustrated By: Format: Vellum, Language: Latin Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Apud Franciscum Simonem Moschenios Fratres, Mediolani, Italy Crown octavo (8vo 5+3⁄8 × 8 137 × 203),Pages 266 ISBN: FIRST EDITION OF THE POEM THAT FOLLOWS THE MODEL OF OVIDIAN FASTI First and only edition of this curious little poem divided into the twelve months of the year according to the model of Ovidian fasti. Each month is introduced by an etymological note and an invocation to inspiring characters, both pagan and Christian. The work is also studded with numerous references to historical, biblical and legendary events, as well as philosophical digressions. Posthumous original edition, first and only, of this poem inspired by Ovidian fasti, a work by this author originally from Pizzighettone. Studying between Lodi and Cremona, he became a good connoisseur of Latin and Greek literature as well as Christian literature. This posthumous edition seems to have been edited by Giangiacomo Gabiani, a teacher from Lodi who dedicated the poem to Pope Paul III. Following the scheme of Ovidian fasti, the work is divided into twelve months. The etymology and history of each month are given with an invocation of pagan and Christian characters, events from the old and new testament, descriptions of historical figures and many cosmological references. There are also many references to historical events such as the wars between the Duchy of Milan and the Venetian Republic which also involved Pizzighettone. The poem is preceded by a letter from C.'s nephew, Omobono, to A. Farnese, Cardinal of S. Lorenzo in Damaso, nephew of Paul III, (12 June 1554). The dedication of the Fasti is by Giangiacomo Gabiani, professor at the school of Lodi, and dated in Lodi, 21 March 1549, is addressed to the same pope "as we found the work, dedicated to you, the Patron of scholars". In the preface Gabiani also mentions Elegiarum tres [libros] ac Epigrammatum unum, indicated to him with the Fasti by Omobono, whose ruin and oblivion he wanted to prevent, also because of their Christian content. However, only the Fasti were published, while the other works, not printed, are irretrievably lost. Draud's statement (p. 1146), which on the basis of this preface admitted the existence of the elegies and epigrams in print, is therefore incorrect. Perhaps their publication was prevented precisely by the poor state of conservation, or by economic reasons. The Fasti were presented as unfinished, probably lacking the definitive stylistic revision; but Gabiani, who was responsible for the recognition of the work, states that he behaved like Vario and Tucca with respect to Virgil's Aeneid. Omobono instead took care of the index and the memorabilia alongside the text. Following Ovid's example, C. divided the material according to the twelve months of the year. Each book presents a fixed scheme, etymology and history of the month at the beginning, brief recapitulation at the end. Furthermore, C. prefaces each of the twelve books with brief invocations or protases, in which he asks for the inspiration or blessing of a biblical character (I, Moses) or pagan character (III, Pallas) or of a muse (XI, Urania ). He to write a kind of sacred chronicle where the most "dramatic" episodes of the Old and New Testaments would have the greatest prominence, and at the same time a kind of martyrology coordinated with the intended calendar. Alongside the edifying material we find moral and philosophical digressions and a not very orderly series of historical and legendary facts recalled from ancient literatures. In broad terms one can also perceive in the Fasti a cosmological design, which goes from the creation of the world to the greatest exponents of Latin patristics to the theological-philosophical debate on the Immaculate Conception. The author also does not hide his admiration for the great figures of legislators, philosophers, leaders, showing in this his scholastic education.

A text in Latin which presents itself as a translation of that of Darès has come down to us under the title History of the destruction of Troy (De excidio Trojæ historia). This version is attributed to Cornelius Nepos, who commissioned him to Sallustius. The state of the language suggests a text of late antiquity around the 6th century; at the end of the 12th century, the English poet Joseph of Exeter adapted the prose work of Dares into Latin hexameters, and it is this version that is first printed in 1541 and here in the second edition, but wrongly attributed to Dares, all the editions of the Frankish state 1620 that the name Joseph was correctly associated with the poem.

1926 1st Edtn THE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONOLOGY By Rev Montague Summers Very Good Esoteric

1926 1st Edition , THE HISTORY OF WITCHCRAFT AND DEMONOLOGY By Rev Montague Summers Augustus Montague Summers (10 April 1880 – 10 August 1948) was an English author, clergyman, and teacher. He initially prepared for a career in the Church of England at Oxford and Lichfield, and was ordained as an Anglican deacon in 1908. He then converted to Roman Catholicism and began styling himself as a Catholic priest. He was, however, never affiliated with any Catholic diocese or religious order, and it is doubtful that he was ever actually ordained to the priesthood. He was employed as a teacher of English and Latin while independently pursuing scholarly work on the English drama of the 17th century. The latter earned him election to the Royal Society of Literature in 1916. Noted for his eccentric personality and interests, Summers became a well known figure in London society as a result of the publication of his History of Witchcraft and Demonology in 1926. That work was followed by other studies on witchcraft, vampires, and werewolves, in all of which he professed to believe. Summers also produced a modern English translation, published in 1929, of the 15th-century witch hunter's manual, the Malleus Maleficarum. He has been characterized as "arguably the most seminal twentieth century purveyor of pop culture occultism." Illustrated By: Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner & Co Ltd., London octavo (8vo 6 × 9 152 × 229),Pages 374 ISBN: Vividly detailed and highly readable, this classic history of witchcraft and demonology provides a thorough exploration of sorcery, Satanism, and every variety of the black arts. Reflecting popular folklore and theological opinions of the late medieval and early Renaissance periods, this survey of necromancy traces witchcraft from ancient times to the twentieth century, describing the link between heresy and the occult. Threaded with dramatic accounts of witch trials and devil's pacts, this time-tested reference offers a compelling look at The Worship of the Witch, Demons and Familiars, the Sabbat, and Diabolic Possession and Modern Spiritism. It also offers fascinating insight into the role of the Witch in Dramatic Literature. A prolific occult historian, Montague Summers wrote numerous books, and he edited and translated such important early demonology and witchcraft texts as the Malleus Maleficarum. An intriguing perspective on the development of the black arts and their heretical interpretations by society, church, and state, The History of Witchcraft and Demonology will capture the attention of the general reader as well as the occult enthusiast.

Illustrated By: Format: Hardcover, Language: English Dust Jacket: No Jacket, Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket Published By: Black Letter Press, Germany duodecimo or twelvemo (12mo 5 × 7+3⁄8 127 × 187),Pages 210 ISBN: Thomas Browne — Religio Medici Edited and introduced by Paul Summers Young Religio Medici is one of the most influential books to have come down to us from the seventeenth century; like Robert Burton’s Anatomy of Melancholy, it is as much an inquiry into self as it is a wandering among the Liberal Arts, at whose heart is a simple truth: you can be rationally mystical, mystically rational, and a sincere friend to all. Thomas Browne’s book was published, reluctantly, in 1643, at a time of vicious sectarian violence across the Three Kingdoms. He anticipates some of the sentiments expressed by the Ranters, Diggers and Quakers, but also establishes the model for a tradition of English elegaic literature, taking his theme from life and following it across antiquity, only to bring it home again. His flights always return to this ash here in a pot being you and me. Our edition, transcribed, edited and introduced by Paul Summers Young, is based upon the 1643 edition of the text, and introduces modern spelling and punctuation conventions to render the work more accessible and enjoyable for a non-specialist reader.

Author: William DV VAL Pontesian, Professor of Greek and Latin Philosophy at the Royal Academy of Paris, and Doctor of Medicine: who, in addition to that laborious Synopsis, added an Anthology of Anatomy from the knowledge of Hippocrates and Galen, to Aristotle's books on history, generation, and parts of animals; and furthermore added and illustrated the fourteen books of the Divine Philosophy or Metaphysics, with notes and arguments, and restored the last four, which were still badly arranged, to their proper order. Three indexes close and, as it were, sign off the bulk of the work. The first, as it were, lists the names of even younger authors who illustrated Aristotle's Philosophy with their writings. The second distinguishes the cares and commentaries of each. The third is a rich Thesaurus.
