Five almanacs, (unpaginated but complete), text in French, 20.5 x 15.3 cm, the Berne almanac 20.5 x 16.6 cm, woodcut cover illustration of the Lame Messenger and several foldout woodcut illustrations and text illustrations, including a natural history plate of a Javanese fruit bat, folding table, scant spotting and toning, two almanacs with tape repair to the spine; original stab-sewn title-wrappers, some wear but in very good condition. Small group of almanacs including astronomical observations and phenomena, pieces on agronomy, agriculture and natural history, along with a number of moral and ethical commentaries. The trope of the "Messager Boiteux" (Lame Messenger) as the trustworthy source of news dates from a 17th Century satire by Comenius (see a blog on the subject by curator and artist Tjebbe van Tijen). These almanacs began in Germany, with French versions published in Berne from 1748 and in Strasbourg and Paris from 1814 and developed as sources of local news with a monthly calendar of market Fairs, literary excerpts, major events, celestial calendars and astrology. …

Fine Binding. Zustand: Very Good+. A nice bound volume, sammelband, (fine binding of leather and marbled boards) of Whig Almanacs 1843 - 1855 (Lacks 1851) in excellent condition - although only the 1843 retains the original pictorial cover, complete otherwise. The almanacs include several interesting maps in the text including the 1846 almanac with full page woodcuts of both Oregon and Texas / Indian Territory. Minimal ex-library with an early association label to the front pastedown and marks to the rear pastedown. The contents themselves are not marked and though showing occasional foxing are generally quite fresh. The volume was professionally rebacked in fine leather with gilt printed red and green leather spine labels.…

3 vols. 8vo (ca. 137 x 195 to 140 x 210 mm). 3-29 pp. 3-29 pp. 29 pp. (first two lacking only wrappers which are counted in pagination). Plain cream wrappers or text leaves acting as wrappers. Together with a handwritten calendar folded to form a pamphlet (285 x 215 mm). Three early 20th century almanacs printed around the fall of the Ottoman Empire and during the Turkish War of Independence. Ottoman almanacs had traditionally been handwritten, but these examples, ranging from 1918 to 1924, are instead tidily printed for a modern audience who still required the services an almanac had to offer. Each almanac covers each of the twelve months of the Rumi calendar, with each month stretching across two facing pages, each carefully tabulated, with numerous notes and calculations. A final two-page spread provides further detail on the year as a whole. - Ottoman almanacs served an important purpose: they helped to keep track of Muslim holy days, provided a calendar, and often tracked the movement of the sun, moon, and planets in the form of astronomical tables. - Included with this lot is a manuscript of detailed calendrical charts, written out by hand as was traditional. - Wrappers missing from two volumes, some exterior wear; manuscript calendar with rather severe edgewear and some staining. An interesting collection.…

Publisher's stamp to title.A total of 10 vols. Near uniform later red paper covered boards, gilt, yellow edges. Slightly rubbed. Bookplates and stamps to endpapers/frontispiece versos of Antonio Moreno Martin.A fascinating group of provincial Italian almanacs, from Faenza and Foligno, demonstrating the popularity of astrological data in the nineteenth-century. The almanacs contain a variety of astrological commentary, with some pleasing woodcut illustrations, plus tables of lucky numbers, calendars (including feast days and astrological/ meteorological data), and prognostications for the seasons, harvest, health and sickness, business, and eclipses. Like their English-language counterparts they were often issued under pseudonyms. Issued annually from 1772, Il Giro Astronomico, for example, purported to be the work of the fictional astronomer and astrologer Pietro Casamia. Each volume of Il Giro Astronomico contains a different engraved frontispiece showing Casamia at work with telescopes and other instruments, others have rather cruder woodcut portraits to the titles. Ephemeral and rarely kept, all issues of these almanacs are rare, appearing usually singly (if at all) in institutional collections outside Italy.…
