1806 Ezekiel Baker RIFLE Guns Practice & Observations Shooting Color Illustrated

Ezekiel Baker was a renowned English gunsmith who popularized his own design of rifle named simply the 'Baker Rifle'. This 1800 firearm inspired the publication of his book 'Practice and Observations with Rifle Guns' in 1804. This book is a small but impressive firearms manual with instruction on loading, aiming, firing, and cleaning rifles, as well as the various positions and stances many shooters take. The incredible full-page color engravings that supplement the descriptions are highly desirable as well.

Description:
1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius Marburg

A rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)

One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.

Description:
1799 Romance of the Rose Lorris Medieval de Meun Flamel Alchemy STUNNING 5v

"The more a man gazes on what he loves, the more he sets fire to his heart and bastes it with bacon fat."
― Guillaume de Lorris, The Romance of the Rose
The 'Roman de la Rose' is a famous 13th-century Medieval French poem written as an allegorical dream sequence. It was written by Guillaume de Lorris who sought to express the feelings of romantic love, sexuality, and chivalry. It was completed by Jean de Meung who continued the work begun by Lorris. Thought to be the most widely read book other than the Bible in the 13th- and 14th-centuries, it was highly influential on other authors, notably including Geoffrey Chaucer.

This absolutely stunning
18th-century edition was published in Paris printed in five beautiful vellum-bound volumes. This particular edition is of note, not just for containing the 'Roman de la Rose', but also a preface by Clement Marot, Meung's 'Life of Jean Clopinel', a short treatise on the alchemy of… Read More

A rare, 19th-century printing of Joseph-François Michaud's "History of the Crusades". Michaud's principal work discusses the beginning of the crusades through the Council of Clermont. It covers the departure of crusaders after the Council of Nicee, the Siege of Antioch, Election of Godefroy, Battle of Ascalon, reign of Baudouin II, conquests of Saladin, and the events designed to protect Jerusalem from a fall.

This very rare 1880 first English printing of Michaud's masterpiece is noticeably more desirable that other editions. Not only does this work feature the artwork of Gustave Doré, it is also an impressive set of two enormous tomes!

1723 History of Netherlands 1ed Holland Voyages MAP Dutch MEDALS COINS Utrecht
Jean Le Clerc's "History of the Netherlands" is considered one of the best 18th-century sources on the political and militaristic history of the numerous states of Holland. Le Clerc describes a year-by-year chronology of major events in the Netherlands, complete with impressive folding maps and engravings. Much to be desired, Clerc utilizes a world map that depicts California as a large island off the west coast of the North America.
This set also features a first edition printing of Le Clerc's 'Historical Explanation of the Medals of the Netherlands'. First published in 1723, this work is a detailed account of the origins of the Dutch republic with descriptions of major events and figures from throughout the 16th-century until the Treaty of Utrecht and the end of the Spanish Succession... And while the contents are accurate and thorough, the main draw of this work is the inclusion of over 100 engravings of coins, medals,… Read More

"The truth can be perceived only through thinking"
― Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica

Thomas Aquinas was a 13th-century Dominican monk known as one of the most important and influential church fathers and Catholic philosophers. He is remembered for his best-known works such as 'Summa Theologica' as well as his Bible commentaries on Old Testament prophets and the Epistles of Paul. Throughout his commentaries, Aquinas supports with his principle that everything Jesus did on earth was to teach us and leave an example.

This extremely rare volume from the 1520 printing of 'Catena Aurea', or Aquinas's commentary on the four Gospels. This particular volume features his commentary on the Books of Matthew and Mark.

Description:
1572 PLUTARCH Parallel Lives Latin & GREEK Alexander Great 5v FAMED Estienne

"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled."
― Plutarch

'Plutarch's Lives' or 'Parallel Lives' is one of the most important and comprehensive collection of biographies of famous Greek and Roman figures. Plutarch was not so much focused on providing a historical account of these famous individuals as much as he was seeking to write of the type of person they were and the life in which they lived. He focuses on Alexander the Great, Romulus and Remus, Demosthenes, Cicero, Brutus, Julius Caesar, and many other important figures.

This rare undated 16th-century edition was edited and translated by Wilhelm Xylander, a notable German scholar and published by the famed Henri Estienne. Xylander was well known for his commentary and edits of Greek and Roman masters found in these volumes including Fabius Maximus, Timoleon, Pelopidas, and many others.

1757 History of Paraguay 1ed Charlevoix NEGRO SLAVERY Jesuit Voyages MAPS 6v
Pierre Charlevoix was an 18th-century French Jesuit writer known for his informational surveys of Jesuit missionary voyages around the world. He published reports on voyages in Paraguay, Brazil and other South American countries, as well as voyages in Asia even though he himself never visited these locations. His 'History of Paraguay' is a valuable history of the Jesuit missionary voyages to South America and includes extensive descriptions on Paraguay, Brazil, Uruguay, and parts of Argentina with information about local tribes. Perhaps Cox's description of the work is the most telling of its value:
"The most complete and satisfactory work on Paraguay, and the only one in which the vast system of the Jesuits is fully developed, the position of the author affording him peculiar opportunities for its examination."
There were, however, some quite controversial inclusions in this book as well. According to Christophe,
