d"ABRO, A. KALADLIT OKALLUKTUALLIAIT kaladlisut kablunatudlo - Grönlandske Folkesagn, opskrevne og meddeelte af Indfödte med dansk Oversaettelse.
* Bibliographia Groenlandica XII,107, Oldendow s. 93-98 og med illustrationer s. 94 og 97. Fra Bent Juel-Jensens bogsamling.<br>** Virkeligt delikat saet af originaludgaven af alle fire bind af "Grönlandske Folkesagn". De blev trykt i arene 1859-63 af grönlaenderen Lars Möller (de to förste bind under tilsyn af Hjaelpelaerer Rasmus Berthelsen) pa Grönlands förste egentlige bogtrykkeri. Trykkeriet blev etableret af pioneren Hinrich Rink i Godthab og udarbejdelsen af sagnsamlingen var helt bestemt det störste og mest ambitiöse projekt. Rink stod ogsa selv for indsamlingen af den aeldgamle mytologi og fortaelletradition blandt eskimoerne, og de fire sma bind er vel sagtens ogsa höjdepunktet i den grönlandske litteraturs historie. De fine sma traesnit og litografier blev udfört af bl.a. fangeren Aron af Kangek og Jens Kreutzmann - dygtige kunstnere, som ogsa blev opdaget af Rink. De arbejdede uden formel oplaering, men deres eksotiske stil er bade naiv og meget faengslende. Et litteraturhistorisk, kunsthistorisk og boghistorisk höjdepunkt i et herligt saet, som Bent Juel-Jensen ikke töver med at betegne som nok det fineste, der findes (i en vedlagt, signeret note).<br>*** "Grönlandske Folkesagn" [Greenlandic Legends]. Complete with all four volumes, with all wood cuts. Original edition. Text in Greenlandic and Danish. Printed by Lars Möller, Godthaab, Greenland 1859-63. Woodcuts on the titlepages and illustrated in all four volumes by the Eskimo Aron of Kangek and others: I. 12 pages with woodcuts and 8 pages with lithographed music notes and text. II. 18 pages with woodcuts, 12 of which are printed in colour. Inserted are the two orig. foldout maps of the southern part of Greenland. III. 12 lithographed drawings inserted at the end. IV. 3 pages of woodcuts and 8 woodcuts printed in the text. (8)+156+(1); (8)+111; (8)+156+(1); (6)+125 pages. Vol. 1, 2, 4 with parallel text in Greenlandic and Danish, vol. 3 with text in Greenlandic the first 96 pages followed by text in Danish. Untrimmed in the orig. printed covers. Only minor signs of use and foxing. Bookplate on the inner cover in all 4 vols. Name on the front cover and innercover of the second volume. Housed in a beautiful box covered with light blue morocco and with gilt lettering on the spine. The box is unsigned but by Sangorski & Sutcliffe (orig. invoice enclosed).<br>**** A beautiful complete set of Kaladlit with all the illustrations, maps and prints. The collection of Greenlandic myths and legends was untertaken by Hinrich Rink, the administrator of a mission at Godthaab (Nuuk). The legends were delivered orally to Rink and entails a long tradition, hardly corrupted by foreign influence because of Greenland's isolation. Rink also established the first permanent printing press in Greenland, and these four volumes were by far the most ambitious undertaking. He also discovered the artist Aron of Kangek, a native of Greenland, who did many of the illustrations for this work. Originally a hunter, he had no formal training and the illustrations may seem naive in their primitivity, but they are very powerful and a great insight into the Eskimo spirit.

"[INSTITUT FÜR SOZIALFORSCHUNG]: Sociologica. Aufsätze, Max Horkheimer zum sechzigsten Geburtstag gewidmet, Large octavo, 470pp. Volume 1 of the Frankfurter Beiträge zur Soziologie, with a two-page preface by Adorno and Walter Dirks, dated Feb., 1955. First publication of the newly established Institute at the university in Frankfurt, a collection of essays in honor of its Director by many of his colleagues from pre-war Germany: Adorno, Aron, Benjamin ("Zentralpark", written 1939-40), Kirchheimer, Lowenthal, Marcuse, Franz Neumann, Pollock, Tillich; from the American period of the Institute: Bettelheim, Hadley Cantril, Nevitt Sanford, Paul Lazarsfeld; and European sociologists: Dirks, Friedmann, Ginsberg, Franco Lombardi, Heinrich Meng, Hans Naumann, L. von Wiese. Very good in publisher's cloth and dust-jacket with full-page publisher's announcement laid in.NOTES on the SERIES and INSTITUTE as a whole:Under the abbreviated name "Frankfurt School" the Institute for Social Research has become known in the US as a philosophical academy, home of the authors of the Dialectic of Enlightenment and One-Dimensional Man. Less recognized is the function of this school as a collaborative institute for research into society, a function apparent in the massive 1934 project on Authority and the Family, in the series Studies in Prejudice from the 1940s, and in the Frankfurt Contributions to Sociology from the 1950s: social research under vastly different social conditions. The early work is a product of great autonomy, produced by a foundation with enough foresight to rescue its funds and resources before the Nazi takeover. In the US, the Institute enjoyed far less independence. Adorno found himself recruited into Paul Lazarsfeld's radio research project and into a 15 year intellectual exile into empirical research. The return to Germany in the 1950s was a bold risk, marked by hostilities from the right and later, already in the late 1950s, from the left. The Institute no longer had a monopoly on theoretically founded social research. The students of Alfred Weber and Rene König, as well as troops of social scientists trained under the conservative, even collaborationist sociologists in the Third Reich, all competed for scarce industrial and government commissions. By 1954 it had become apparent that the house journal, the Zeitschrift für Sozialforschung, was not going to be revived in Germany. The materials Adorno and Horkheimer had collected went into the first volume of their new sociological series, the Sociologica I in honor of Horkheimer. It is only natural that the two volumes of essays under this title are most valued by collectors of the philosophical Frankfurt School. The history of the Institute for Social Research, however, continues with the study of workers at Mannesmann, with the work by Friedrich Pollock, Horkheimer's close friend and economic expert, on automation, with a number of collaborative volumes on work-place environments and the distribution of labor, with the intellectual histories on fundamental issues. Alfred Schmidt, Ludwig von Friedeburg, and Peter von Haselberg extended the founders' thoughts into a new generation; the textbook like essay-collections on sociological themes and on Freud provided the framework for the next student generation. By the time the series of Contributions on Sociology came to an end with volume 22 in 1971, and Habermas had left the institute for greener pastures, "critical theory" had become a philosophical-cultural icon, but no longer a force in funded social research. In the late 1950s Adorno returned to his fragmentary philosophizing, Horkheimer attempted to save the Institute from its own students and an epoch came to an end. With these documents of the Institute for Social Research, at its height and at its most ordinary, we present a living discourse across continents and regimes, one of the few philosophical discourses that has achieved both obscurity and popularity.
