Important 19th Century Transcript of The Annals of ClonmanoiseManuscript: A folio volume bound in blue cloth, pp.5 - 457, lacks first two leaves and last few folios, and a few other pages missing also (pp. 53 - 56).This copy of an English translation of Annals of the History of Ireland, is written in a fine copper plate hand, with Irish versions of some names, and a few quotations, sometimes added in a neat Gaelic script. Names in the early part of the book are written in red ink. Verses (eg. 'On the Death of a Friend,') are occasionally added in a different hand.The Annals of Clonmacnoise are a translation into English of a long lost Gaelic Chronicle of events in Ireland from the creation of man down to the year 1408. It was written in an archaic style in 1627 by Conall Mac Geoghégan of Co. Offaly, and dedicated to his brother in law Terance Coghlan. He begins with Adam, complaining grumpily that 'my author committed to trace of the Creation of the world and leaveth such as love to treat thereof to the Scripture.' He then recounts the descent from Adam according to Genesis chapter V., followed by five legendary invasions of Ireland, and continues to record occurrences in Irish history down to the arrival of Henry II. Some events are narrated in considerable detail, and there are some surprising inclusions: in 967 for instance, we are told thath 'the Pox (which Irishmen called then Dolor Gentiluim) ran over All Ireland this year.'After the coming of the Normans, the writer provides - 'for your better instruction (Brother' - genealogies of prominent descendants of the three sons of the Gaelic invader Milesius: Randolph Earl of Antrim, Henry, Earl of Thomond, and Arthur Magennis Viscount of "Iveaghaghe."This suggests a mid-17th Century date for the compilation:Mac Geoghangan's original text is no longer extant, there are copies (made in 1684 by Tadhg O'Dailaigh) in Trinity College, Dublin and The British Museum.The T.C.D. copy was edited by the Rev. Denis Murphy S.J. and published by the R.S.A.I. in 1896. The manuscript now offered for sale is a transcript of the British Library Copy.The writer does not provide his name, but he does sign the initials "C.M.G." to a frustrated note of his inability to provide correct versions of names as 'there are so many leaves lost or stolen of the Old Irish Book which I translate." There are frequent cross-references to folios in the original Gaelic M/ss.Given the deficiencies of the 1896 publication, this manuscript, despite its incompleteness, could provide a useful source for a new critical edition of this important early history of Ireland.As a m/ss., w.a.f. A high important work. (1)

' In His Own Write ' - John Lennon ( The Beatles ) - autographed / signed first edition. London, Jonathan Cape, 1964. Hardcover. Signed and inscribed on the first free end page in blue ballpoint ' To Diz, You're a great TURN, good God, from John Lennon ', with 'Lennon' struck through. Lennon personally gifted and inscribed this book to Dizz Gillespie (not the trumpeter) when he visited Lennon's home, Kenwood, in Weybridge, Surrey. Brian Epstein had met Gillespie at a party in Los Angeles in 1964 during the Beatles second tour of the US and subsequently brought him back to London, where he signed him to NEMS as an aspiring actor and singer. In reality, Gillespie was his surreptitious partner. Epsten's homosexuality was not public knowledge, but an open secret among his inner circle - and something that Lennon occasionally badgered him about. The word ' turn ' in Lennon's inscription seems to be a case of clever wordplay, which could mean either a 'showman' or allude to 'turning a trick'. The relationship between Epstein and Gillespie quickly turned sour, with Gillespie attempting blackmail and becoming unpredictably violent. An incredibly unique piece, with a terrific association within the Beatles inner circle. Provenance: ex-Christie's Dec. 4th 2006 auction. (From that original description: The vendor first met John Lennon and Brian Epstein in 1964 and was given this book by John Lennon when he visited him at his home, Kenwood, in Weybridge, Surrey. Diz was the vendor's nickname') Supplied with a cutting from another auction catalogue, presumed more recent.

The original recipient penned a brief poem to the reverse of the half-title page before sending it to her family in LA ' He is nice, she is too. And they send a smile to you. Hope you enjoy it, Londres, 16/7/71 '. Some fading to the spine, and creasing to the paperback covers. Autographs clear and undedicated. Very rare. Provenance: supplied with a cutting from an unknown auction catalogue, which states 'pre-certified, Roger Epperson - REAL'. (added 29.11.18 12:52) Also comes with some associated photographs from the signing itself, showing both Lennon and Yoko at the event (contemporary re-printings).
