Carlo, a Roma presso gli eredi del Blado e a Firenze, fu ristampata innumerevoli volte negli anni successivi: nel solo 1585, oltre alla presente, risultano varie edizioni stampate a Venezia, Brescia, Milano, Firenze e Bologna. Il Panigarola, che fu ritenuto il massimo predicatore dei suoi tempi, studiò diritto a Bologna e a Pavia. Nel '67 entrò a Firenze nell'ordine francescano, studiando filosofia e teologia a Padova, Pisa e Parigi. Nel '73 cominciò la sua carriera di predicatore, che lo portò ad attraversare l'Italia, la Germania, la Francia e la Svizzera, paesi dove si scontrò con i riformati. Nell'89 Sisto V lo fece vescovo prima di Grisopolis, poi di Asti. 4° (202x140 mm). [8] leaves. Title within rich woodcut board and woodcut vignette on the center. Later colored cardboard.

Carlo, in Rome by the heirs of Blado and in Florence, was reprinted numerous times in the following years: only in 1585, other than this copy, there are various editions printed in Venice, Brescia, Milan, Florence and Bologna. Panigarola, who was considered the main prayer of his time, studied law in Bologna and Pavia. In '67 enter in Florence the Franciscan order, studying philosophy and theology in Padua, Pisa and Paris. In '73 started his career of prayer, which lead him to cross Italy, Germany, France and Switzerland, countries where he collided with the reformed.

Jimi Hendrix & Zoot Money - Jimi Hendrix played mid 1960s Wandre Blue Jeans electric guitar, made in Italy, brunette finish with custom stickers added to the table and back, within a vintage Stone Case Company hard case. Sold with a hand written letter of provenance from Zoot Money and a signed, sealed re-mastered vinyl edition of his 1966 album 'Zoot Money's Big Roll Band' *In September of 1966, Chas Chandler of The Animals arrived at Heathrow, London with Jimi Hendrix via an overnight flight from New York. As was customary for Chas when in town, he went straight by Zoot's flat in West London to see if he knew anyone with a left handed guitar that Jimi could borrow to perform at the Bag 'O' Nails or Scotch of St. James that evening. Zoot recalls 'I couldn't let him use one of Andy Summers guitars that were in the flat below because he would have killed me!'. As they were sat discussing who to call, Jimi played around on his Wandre Italian guitar with Zoot saying that he would be happy to re-string the guitar in reverse if he was desperate, which he refused, but did comment on it having a nice easy action. This visit with Chas has been written of and mentioned in many biographies to date. Although Jimi never used this guitar in a gig, it was in fact the first guitar he ever played in England. Zoot remembers 'I had only purchased it to start some Chuck Berry songs on stage, because as I said Andy would not let me near his guitars! The strings are in fact still the strings that were on it that night! Later many other people tinkered on it including Jose Feliciano. Since those days, mainly it has been hidden as I later purchased an acoustic to use for writing'

Click the following link to go to our website to view the complete list of volumes: http://www.shapiroauctions.com/rare-set-of-kamer-furyerskiy-zhurnals-kammerfurier-journals-1853-1917.html LOT NOTES Our research indicates only 6 complete collections of 177 volumes of the Kamer-furyerskiy zhurnal, namely at the The Russian State Library (Moscow), RGIA (Russian State Historical Archive, Laboratory of Microfilming and Document Restoration, Moscow), the State Historic Public Library of Russia (St. Petersburg), the library of the Hermitage Museum (St. Petersburg), the New York Public Library (New York), and the library of the University of Wisconsin-Madison (Madison). To our knowledge, this is the first set to ever appear at auction. These Kammerfurier Ceremonial Journals, so named after the Kammerfuriers, or Collegiate Councillors (civil rank of the 6th class, according to the Table of Ranks), who recorded the everyday chronicles, reflect over 200 years of life at the Russian Imperial Court: descriptions of balls, banquets, weddings, performances, coronations, and military operations. Begun in 1695 as Peter the Great`s diaries of his Azov military campaigns, the journals conclude with Nicholas the II`s abdication, and provide a unique insight into the covert affairs and lavish celebrations at the Russian court. The journals, reprinted from original manuscripts at the Moscow Main Archive of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, were often sent out to members of the imperial family and gifted to confidants. This particular set, for one, includes several volumes, bound in full leather and monogrammed SA in gilt embossing, from the collection of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia (Russian 1857-1905); as well as eight volumes bearing the ex-libris of Georgy Aleksandrovich Bobrinsky (Russian 1862-1928), a military and government figure and a descendant of Catherine the Great. PROVENANCE Several volumes embossed on spine with the monogram of Grand Duke Sergei Alexandrovich of Russia (Russian 1857-1905). Eight volumes bear ex-libris / inventory labels of Georgy Aleksandrovich Bobrinsky (Russian 1862-1928). Some volumes marked with labels of the V.I. Klyuchkov bookstore, Saint-Petersburg.

Charles Jervas (Irish, circa 1675-1739) and John Wootton (British, 1682-1764) Portrait, presumed to be of, Robert Walpole, later 2nd Earl of Orford (1701-1751) standing, three-quarter length, holding a hunting whip and wearing the Insignia of the Order of the Bath, horses and hounds watering in a landscape beyond oil on canvas, in a fine contemporary carved and giltwood English frame 120 x 100cm (47 x 39in) Provenance: Presumably the sitter's aunt, Susan Hamond, of South Wootton and then from 1761 at Westacre High House, Norfolk and thence by descent to the present owner Other Notes: The identity of the sitter is apparently first proposed by Andrew Moore in "A Capital Collection: Houghton Hall and the Hermitage, with a Modern Edition of "Aedes Walpolianae", Horace Walpole's Catalogue of Sir Robert Walpole", Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art, pub. 2002, where it is illustrated and attributed to John Wootton. Wootton's pictures of the sitter's father "Prime Minister" Walpole and 1st Earl of Orford, are invariably collaborations with Richardson, with the latter doing the portrait and Wootton the landscape. An attribution to Richardson here seems implausible. As the presumed sitter became Ranger of Richmond Park and a Knight of the Bath in 1725, it would seem more plausible that as this date exactly coincides with when Jervas is known to have been commissioned to paint portraits of his father and mother (see Lots 392 and 393) that this too is a work by Jervas and just like that pair it has descended from Susan Hamond, née Walpole, sister of the 1st Earl. It is believed there is a similar portrait at Houghton Hall, Norfolk; another similar portrait, according to the late Sir Oliver Millar and the present owner, was sold at Christie's, 28 April 1950 (Lot 81) as of an Unknown Nobleman and attributed to Wootton. Sir Oliver Millar in April 1961 doubted the Wootton attribution for the present painting. The present portrait will be included in Caroline Pegum's forthcoming catalogue raisonne on Charles Jervas. Label to the reverse incorrectly gives the sitter as Sir Robert Walpole, Prime Minster, father of the sitter No. 14 to the reverse. Oil on canvas which has been lined. The tension is good and the picture is in plane. The paint layer is in a good, stable condition. There are a few small paint losses. The varnish is matte and yellowed. There is a layer of surface dirt which includes mould spores. There are a few scattered areas of retouching which are slightly discoloured and mainly located in the background. The mitres of the frame are opened, some dirt and staining on the gilded surface.
