There is a separate blot on the text of leaf and a spot on the lower margin of F1 verso. There is also some, generally faint, water staining evident in the pages of the Tabula and Register, it has not affected the text or the written notes. There is a single narrow wormhole present in the lower margins of folios A(10) to D5, well clear of the printed areas.The final leaf has a fragment torn from the upper corner possibly as the result of an attempted repair and the margin is discoloured. There are manuscript notations in margin of the tabula. There is a solitary attempt at a pen and ink decorative capital on leaf b2. Page edges dyed light red. Overall a crisp copy. The Sententiae - Sentences of Peter Lombard was the standard theological reference work of its time. And Sentences were the considered judgments and opinions of experts on questions of faith and dogma, which Lombard had collected and classified in four parts – the fourth dealing with the sacraments. The individual topics - in each part were called and numbered as so many distinctions. This work was Aquinas` thesis for his master`s degree in theology, a discussion and evaluation of earlier opinions.

Conder, Thomas 1778 Various Plans and Draughts of Cities, Towns, Harbours &c. Drawn from the Latest Authorities This very attractive sheet has five maps: "Plan of the Harbour of New-York and Parts adjacent", "The Town & Harbour of Boston &c.", "Draught of the River Delaware from Chester to Philadelphia", "Plan of the Harbour of Charles Town, South Carolina", and "Plan of the City & Harbour of Havana, Capital of Cuba".

Filled with interesting and early place names: Old Town and New Town on Staten Island, Elizabeth Town, Penny Ferry, Inn de Marmoleno, Johnstons Fort, etc. Top and bottom have decorative garlands. 8.4" W x 11.9" H Some toning due to being backed with a non-archival matte that is darkest outside of the image`s border and remnants of hinge tape on verso.
Colton, Joseph Hutchins 1855 Territories of New Mexico and Utah The uncommon "First State" of this iconic map of the American Southwest, is distinguished by the lack of Colton’s name in the title or beneath the title. It depicts the new territories of Utah and New Mexico, which were created in 1854. Utah Territory encompasses all of today`s Nevada and extends west to the Continental Divide into present-day Colorado with Fillmore City as it`s capital. Nebraska and "Kanzas" territories bound Utah on the east. New Mexico Territory includes part of southern Colorado and stretches west to include Arizona and the southern tip of present-day Nevada. The map was compiled from information garnered by John Charles Fremont in the 1840s, Howard Stansbury in 1850 and the Pacific Railroad surveys of 1853-54. Fremont`s routes, proposed routes for the Pacific Railroad, the Cimarron Trail, the Oregon Route of 1843, the Spanish Trail and several other wagon roads are all traced. Wheat found this interesting map important enough to use as the frontispiece to Volume 4 of his "Mapping the Transmississippi West". It is one of the rarest and most desirable of all Colton atlas maps, dated and published in 1855. 15.4" W x 12.6" H Toned with faint damp stain at upper right. A short edge tear was repaired with archival tape, well away from the map.
U.S. Corps of Engineers, 1890-91 [Lot of 4] Map of the City of Washington Showing the Variety of Street Pavements… [and] …for the Use of the Engineer Department… [and] …Showing the Location of Sewers… [and] …Showing the System of Water Supply and Distribution… This set of thematic maps was published to show the large-scale improvements in the infrastructure of the city. They were prepared by Capt. W.T. Rossell of the Army`s Corps of Engineers to accompany the annual report of the Commissioners, District of Columbia. Each map carries the title "Map of the City of Washington..." and is drawn on an identical scale, showing the street pattern of Washington in great detail. Each has a specialized focus, with the titles continuing: 1) "Showing the Varieties of Street Pavements;" 2) "For Use of the Engineer Department District of Columbia;" 3) "Showing the Location of Sewers;" and 4) "Showing the System of Water Supply and Distribution." Each is colored to match its thematic legend. The first map is particularly handsome as it uses seven colors to indicate types of road surface. An important set of four matched maps that provide a remarkable look into the capital`s infrastructure in the early 1890`s. 27.5" W x 28" H Issued folding with light toning along a few folds and a few short splits at fold intersections.

United States”, by Daniel Burgess and Co., dated 1853, hand color (9.0 x 10.4”). A very nice map of the West that displays early territorial boundaries. New Mexico Territory is shown with the post-Gadsden Purchase border and the northern extension into today`s Colorado. Oregon and Washington extend to the Continental Divide and a huge Nebraska occupies the area to the east with a small area east of Utah labeled Kansas. The large Utah Territory extends from California to the Continental Divide and locates the capital at Fillmore City, and the “Great Salt Lake City”. Each state/territory is labeled with their population: Utah 11,000, New Mexico 62,000, Oregon 13,000, and California 264,000. Numerous Indian tribes and military forts are identified. Dated 1853, but likely published in 1854-55. Condition: Nice impression and color with a few brown stains. B. “L`Ancien et le Nouveau Mexique, avec la Floride et la Basse Louisiane. Partie Occidentale”, by Rigobert Bonne, circa 1780, black and white (9.3 x 13.8”). This handsome map covers the region of present day southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Mexico.

The map locates San Diego, Santa Fe, Taos, Acapulco, Cabo St. Lucas and many towns along the Sea of Cortez and Baja Peninsula. Six distance scales at lower right.

Elwe, Jan Barend 1792 L`Afrique Divisee en ses Empires, Royaumes, et Etats… This handsome, large map of Africa was copied from Jaillot`s popular and influential map from more than a century earlier (1674).

RAFAEL CORONEL Rata pinta con lombriz Firmado y fechado 73 al frente. Firmado y fechado R.C.A. 73 al reverso. Acrílico sobre lino. Agradecemos a Juan Coronel Rivera por la verificación de autenticidad de esta obra, septiembre de 2013. (N. Zacatecas, Zacatecas, 1931 - ) Ha presentado un gran número de exposiciones individuales en galerías e importantes museos internacionales. Entre muchos otros, ha expuesto en países como Brasil, Italia, Bélgica y Estados Unidos; en México ha exhibido en el museo del Palacio Nacional de Bellas Artes y el Museo de Arte Moderno. En 1959 Rafael Coronel realizó su primera exposición individual en el Palacio de Bellas Artes intitulada "Retratos". Asimismo ha recibido importantes condecoraciones y reconocimientos por su labor creativa a nivel internacional. En 1990 se creó el Museo Rafael Coronel que se encuentra en la capital de Zacatecas, su ciudad natal. Su obra está impregnada de fuerza, de una inquietud interna por entender los estados anímicos del hombre, de confrontar lo que otros no confrontan: la soledad, el abandono y la desesperación que se manifiesta en aquellos momentos en los que la vida hace crisis en el ser humano y a muchos se les apetece darse la vuelta y olvidarse de ahí, en ese estado miserable, existe un ser que se está aferrando a la vida como un culto a la existencia.

GUNTHER GERZSO Rojo - azul - naranja Firmado y fechado 73. Acrílico y tinta sobre papel. (N. Ciudad de México, 1915 - Ciudad de México, 2000) Su padre era húngaro y su madre alemana. Parte de su niñez y adolescencia transcurrieron en Europa. Cuando vivía en Lugano, Suiza conoció a Paul Klee. Regresó a México en 1931; en la capital realizó algunos diseños para vestuario y escenografía teatral. Más tarde viajó a Cleveland para continuar sus estudios en The Cleveland Playhouse. En 1940 dio sus primeros pasos como pintor autodidacta incentivado por su amigo el pintor Bernard. Sus primeras obras reflejan claramente una influencia surrealista que pronto abandonó por la abstracción. Ya como pintor, Gunther Gerzso abrió -con Carlos Mérida y Rufino Tamayo- un nuevo capítulo en la historia de la pintura contemporánea mexicana, al proponer una estética opuesta "al academismo y al ideologismo en que había degenerado el muralismo". A Gerzso le apasionó una imagen de la realidad con estilo diferente de sus coetáneos. Su planteamiento fue tan radical que su resultado fue totalmente de otra índole. La pintura en sí misma es su propio contenido. Un arte de relaciones y proporciones puras basado en ritmos dinámicos. No deseó representar ningún antecedente directo de la pintura, del mundo de la experiencia objetiva. Sino pintar estructuras mentales, sonoras, de reflejos recíprocos, ejerciendo influjo sobre el sentimiento y la inteligencia, comunicando una vivencia hecha visible, hecha real. Luis Cardoza y Aragón. Véase: TOVAR Y DE TERESA, Guillermo. "Repertorio de Artistas en México. Tomo II". México. Grupo Financiero Bancomer, 1996. Pág. 70. 48 x 66 cm
