17458 ARAGAWI. The Homilies and Visions of Saint Aragawi, in Ethiopic, impl. 4to. well written MS. on VELLUM, Abyssinian binding, £21. Sec. XVI

Aragawi was one of the nine great Saints of the Abyssinian Church. His life is given in Ludolf's "History of Ethiopia," iii, 3, 4. The MS. opens and concludes with a Prayer for his blessing and for the preservation of Justus the Scribe, who states that the Homilies, Visions and Vigils of Aragawi were translated by him from Arabic into the Geez by the command of Lebna Dungele, King of Ethiopia.

The MS., which is written in double columns in a bold clear hand, contains 175 leaves, and measures 13 by 11 inches.

Nürnberg, Christoff Gutknecht, 1533 EXCESSIVELY RARE. Apparently no other copy of the two parts complete has been described before. There is in Mr. Huth's library a copy of the Kirchem Ordnung, but the Catechismus is a Basel reprint of the same year, and the compiler of the note in the Huth Catalogue evidently was unaware of the existence of the Nürnberg original. He cites the editor of the Bibliotheca Agendorum as stating that only one copy of the Kirchenordnung had come to his knowledge, and that one lacked the Catechism. 17461 KIRCHENORDNUNGE zum anfang fur die Pfarherrn in Hertzog Heinrichs zu Sachsen v. g. h.

Vuittemberga, apud Johannem Luft, 1543

This rare and interesting volume forms a complete authoritative exposition of Luther's religious doctrines in the year 1543. The portions of it which may excite most curiosity are the "Notæ veræ Ecclesiæ," and the long dissertation" de Sacramento Altaris."

17465 AUSZERLESENE Psalmen vnd Geistliche Lieder, D. Mart. Luth. Auch Anderer Gottseligen Lehrer vnd Menner. Von L. A.

A beautiful little book, extremely rare; the value of which in this copy is enhanced by additions of a very curious kind. Ten leaves of vellum at the beginning, and ten others at the end, contain Prayers in a contemporary handwriting, written in exquisitely fine letters of gold and black, with neat drawings of biblical figures of which the outlines are formed by microscopic writing.

It is full of beautiful ornaments in the shape of charming woodcut borders around each page, and contains a great number of curious wood-engravings depicting Biblical subjects, two of which are signed with a monogram of AF (A.

VERY RARE. It is Lefevre d'Estaple's version arranged as a book of Lessons, just as Dolet reprinted it at Lyons in 1542. From certain variants of the text, this volume was evidently printed before the Antwerp Bible of 1530, and must have been compiled from the New Testament issued by Simon de Colines at Paris in 1524 (the first printed part of Lefevre's translation). A copy of Dolet's reprint fetched 500 francs at the Yéméniz sale. 17476 LES PSEAVMES DE DAVID, mis en rime Françoise, par Clement Marot et Theodore de Beze, 12mo. with all the Music, in the original vellum gilt, gilt edges, with clasps, 30s Charenton, 1667

S. n. (about 1584)

Secretly printed. The author's desire was to expound the laws
which would have been more efficient if "better executed by those unto
whome our gracious Soverayne hath committed their execution;" and
he writes forcibly. The clergy of the time, who legally ought to have been
men of worth and learning, are described as "cleane contrary, even the very
tailings and garbage of the people, and such as can scarce say B to a
battledore." Another statement he makes is "Alasse, our lawes are bels
without clappers." An ignorant clergy, and plurality of benefices, form the
two chief objects impugned by the writer.
