(Paris), Gallimard, (1957). Bound uncut and with the original printed wrappers, aslo the backstrip, in a magnificent full black morocco binding with more than 100 calf onlays in seven different tones of red/orange, forming three hypnotizing circles on each board. Gilt title to spine, all edges gilt, and bright red suede end-papers within cream calf borders. Housed in a matching black morocco chemise with gilt title and red and grey paper covers, with suede on the inside, and a slipcase of the same paper and with black morocco edges. The binding is signed J.P. Miguet and dated 2003. One of the morocco onlays on the back board, towards the spine, has a tiny tear at the edge. Otherwise the binding is in splendid condition. Also internally, the copy is near mint. Apart from the backstrip, which has been mounted and slightly restored, it is completely clean, fresh, and crisp. Elengant, blindstamped super-exlibris to inside of front board.

Nr. 35 out of merely 45 numbered copies on Hollande van Gelder - first paper (premier papier), followed by another 1.145 numbered copies on other kinds of paper - of Camus' great collection of stories, which are considered among the best of his works. Together, these stoires cover the entire variety of existentialism - or absurdism. There is general consensus that the clearest manifestation of the ideals of Camus can be found in the present work.

Rare first edition of the most celebrated Portuguese treatise on calligraphy. Joaquim José Ventura da Silva (1777–1849), regarded as one of Portugal's finest calligraphers and teachers of writing, composed this methodological guide to handwriting in which he combines a historical survey of scripts used in Portugal with practical instruction for teaching and learning penmanship.Ventura da Silva is reffered to by Innocencio (Diccionario Bibliographico) as "one of the best Portuguese Calligraphers". A second edition was published in 1819, a third in 1841, and a facsimile was published in Porto in 1899.

Kjøbenhavn, Seidelin, 1829 & 1833. 8vo. Three parts in two volumes, both in the original green paper covered boards. With author's presentation to Danish Professor in Low F. C. Bornemann in both volumes. Wear to spines and scratches to boards. Internally very nice and clean, printed on good paper. (2), 182 pp.; 134 pp. Presentation copy of the rare first edition of P. G. Bang’s seminal work, Udvikling af Læren om Interessentskab og de samme nærmest vedkommende Retsforhold – the very first Danish treatment of the subject, and a milestone in Scandinavian legal history. This pioneering study is regarded as the first jurisprudential exposition of corporate law in Denmark anticipating later systematic treatments of partnership and company legislation. His work established a legal-theoretical foundation for the understanding of partnership agreements, shareholders’ relations and the broader legal framework governing commercial associations. The copy was given by Bang to F.C. Bornemann, a Danish legal professor at the University of Copenhagen from 1840 to 1861, primarily known for applying philosophical methods to legal science. He was influenced by contemporary German philosophers, notably Hegel, in his work on legal philosophy. Peter Georg Bang (1797 – 1861) was a Danish politician and jurist. He served as the Prime Minister of Denmark 1854–1856
