Worth Her While

When the Winchester brothers ask Rowena MacLeod to help them steal an amulet, she agrees -- as long as she can make sure that the case is worth her while.

Sam Winchester x Rowena MacLeod (established relationship), Dean Winchester

Written for @spnfanficpond Alpha Reader Program, working with @mrswhozeewhatsis. AN at the end.

Every eye was trained on Rowena as she twirled from one Winchester to another across the dance floor. Dean’s warm palm lingered over her upper back longer than was necessary, fingers tracing the edge of her dress just below her shoulder blades. To everyone else, it would look like he was getting handsy with her. But she knew he was tucking the amulet down inside the top of her black cocktail dress.

Just like they had planned.

"Hello, boys," Rowena cooed when she picked up the phone. Sam's name was on the screen, but she knew Dean would be close by.

"So, get this," Sam said eagerly. "We've wanted to get our hands on the Aerie Amulet since we found mention of it in Black Grimoire we got from the Loughlins, right? It’s rumored to be a powerful tool against the forces of darkness, but no one has seen it in decades. Well, it turns out it’s been tucked securely away in a museum storage vault with the rest of the Carter Collection."

Rowena hummed noncommittally. Sam was always digging into the lore and looking for specific pieces of arcana. The two of them shared a fascination with occult objects but she didn't always keep track of every latest object of his interest.

Sam continued, speaking faster in his excitement. She found his enthusiasm so charming. "This weekend, the Carter Collection is going on display at the Brandt Museum for the 100th anniversary of Carter's death. We have a chance to get our hands on the amulet."

Sam paused, the phone line practically crackling with anticipation. "We were hoping you could help us."

Ahhhh. There it was. "You two are perfectly capable of making fake IDs and getting in anywhere. How am I involved?"

“See, there’s a reception to celebrate the display and we were hoping you could help us provide --”

"Distraction!" Dean cut off his brother. "You get dressed up all pretty, go in on Sammy's arm, everybody's looking at you, and I make off with the amulet!"

"Awww, you think I'm pretty?" She didn’t have to be there to know the way he would be blushing across his freckled cheeks all the way to his ears.

Rowena heard Sam chuckle once before he tried to stifle it. She could picture his face in her mind, and the thought made her smile. She knew the look he must be wearing --adored it, really-- the way he set his jaw, but the pop of his dimples always gave him away.

"Let me see what my calendar looks like," she answered. She was quite intrigued by what they were proposing but didn't want to seem too interested too early. “Of course, I’d come anywhere if it meant getting to see Sammy looking all rich and handsome.” She smirked, knowing both boys would be blushing now, for very different reasons. “I’ll let you know.” She blew a kiss towards the phone receiver and then hung up before she could hear Dean start teasing his younger brother.

Setting her phone down, she opened her laptop. Sam wasn't the only one who could research. Mention of the Carter Collection had sparked something in her memories.

There was an octavo, a set of folded pages, rumored to be from an ancient grimoire. Scholars considered it important from a linguistic perspective, but she was interested in it for her own magic.

It surely would not be that difficult to convince the Winchesters that they needed the pages in order to properly use the amulet. This caper could turn out to benefit her quite nicely.

The reception at the museum was scheduled for a Saturday evening. Rowena thought if she were going to go, she wanted to make the trip well worth her while. Not only with the octavo, but with a little getaway.

She saw no reason to haul her “exquisite ass” -as Dean once so aptly described it- the whole way to the Men of Letters bunker in Kansas, so she insisted the Winchester brothers book a hotel. Not one of their usual roadside dumps, either. Someplace with at least 3 stars and room service.

“I’ve changed my mind. Do we have to bring her?” Dean fussed over the phone.

“We need her help to authenticate the Aerie Amulet!” Sam answered. She knew without seeing him how he would roll his eyes.

“Plus, I specifically recall you needed me to look pretty,” Rowena reminded them with a musical lilt to her tone. It was so much fun to wind them up, both of them. While Dean was the one who had said it, she knew Sam would appreciate it so much more.

Her outfit was distractingly gorgeous, with a surprise just for him. She had picked out a black gown with a structured fitted bodice and sweetheart neckline that would lift her cleavage and frame her slender waist. The soft straps sat wide on her freckled shoulders, framing the angle of her collarbone right where Sam loved to kiss. The skirt fell all the way to her ankles, heavy satin hugging her legs under a layer of soft chiffon. It flared out at the hem and whispered delightfully when she walked.

The dress would draw everyone’s eye, and she loved it. Too long had passed since her last chance to get so dressed up and glamorous. But the best part was hidden, for only Sam to see - silky lace panties with ribbons laced over the cleft of her ass. Just thinking about his reaction had her pressing her thighs together.

Rowena checked into the hotel before they did. She wanted to take her time on her hair and makeup. That way, when the boys got there, she was strategically half-dressed. She greeted them at the door, the wide straps of her little black dress falling off her creamy shoulders. She smirked as Dean fled into the next room over.

“Oh, Samuel, can you help me fasten up the back of my dress? I can’t reach the end of the zipper.” She batted her eyelashes and widened her green cat eyes in her best imitation of innocence.

He pursed his lips. He knew better than to ever believe she was without motive but followed her into her room.

She turned to face the mirror, leaning forward to adjust the rise of her breasts in the closely fitted top. As she bent over, the zipper fell open well below the waist of her dress, giving Sam a good look at her panties - the criss-cross ribbon, the dimples at the small of her back. She watched in the mirror as his eyes widened and he fumbled for the zipper of her dress. She smirked. Her plans were coming together nicely.

Just before sunset, as the day began to cool, Dean pulled the Impala around to the front door of the hotel. Sam opened the back for her before slipping into the front seat. Both of the brothers were dressed in perfectly fitted suits, white dress shirts immaculate. They could definitely pass for rich museum patrons.

Dean caught her gaze in the mirror and gave a teasing wolf-whistle. “Mighty fine-looking lady you got there, Sammy.”

Rowena scoffed, tossed her hair back off her throat, and opened her mouth for a sharp retort. But Sam spoke first.

“I don’t think I’ve ‘got’ Rowena,” he answered dryly. “She’s made it quite clear she’s a woman all her own. But she does look nice.” He turned to smile at her over his shoulder. She smirked and settled back against the seat.

“Will we get dinner first? I’m hungry.” Rowena changed the subject. She wasn’t usually one to care much about meals, but she did have a reputation of being high maintenance.

“There’s food at the reception, lots of it,” Dean said as he caught her gaze in the rear view mirror. “I’m sure there will be time for us to eat before the heist.”

“You would know.” Sam turned to his brother, his tone light and teasing. “I’ll bet you googled the caterer.”

“Look, there’s nothing wrong with knowing what I can expect to eat!” Dean’s retort was quick, but his tone was playful.

Rowena grinned. It was so rare that they got to have fun on a case, and she found it strangely gratifying to see them prepare for a mission that wouldn’t involve killing. So often everything they did was so serious and weighted, life or death situations.

She couldn’t remember ever working a case with them where they all got to dress up and enjoy a glamorous evening out. She was seeing a new side of the Winchesters, and she didn’t mind it one bit.

Dean pulled up at the entrance to the museum, dropping off Rowena and Sam before parking the Impala a few blocks away. She entered the reception on his arm as he handed their invitation to the security guards. They didn’t blink -- Sam had done a good job with the forgery.

Once inside she took a deep breath and looked around. A string quartet played softly in the far corner. Everyone was dressed up, the men in suits and the women in beautiful cocktail dresses and glamorous gowns. Tuxedoed waiters circulated with trays of canapes, delicious-looking little bites of food.

One entire wall was a tasting station for several types of tequila, featuring the premium brand, Number Juan. She preferred champagne to tequila but smiled in spite of herself.

That should make Dean happy.

People were chatting, mingling, and a few were even dancing. It seemed that few people were venturing away from the reception to view the exhibits. That would make her mission easier.

Someone approached with a tray of champagne flutes. Sam took two and handed one to her before raising his in a toast.

“To success!” he said softly.

“And to celebrating afterward,” she purred, enjoying the flush that spread over his cheeks.

His gaze was drawn away when Dean entered the room. His invitation was just as flawless as Sam’s, but something made security give him a once over. Probably his cocky attitude, Rowena thought, although she knew well that he had charmed himself out of worse situations. When he was at last admitted, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Sam greeted his brother with a barely perceptible nod. Dean tossed a wink in Rowena’s direction and headed straight for the raw bar: a long table of seafood arranged on ice. It looked expensive and delicious.

The noise of the party ebbed and swelled as more patrons entered. Everyone looked rich, and most seemed more interested in mingling than in the museum itself. Rowena and Sam took advantage of the crowd to sneak off and search for the objects of her desire. Luck was on their side.

The Aerie Amulet hung on display, lit by a single spotlight. The octavo was in the same room, on the wall, under a thick layer of plexiglass. It was even tinier than she expected, each page smaller than a playing card. A counterweight would take care of the amulet while the octavo could be easily accessed with a screwdriver. Between the two brothers, they carried enough tools to handle this easily. .

Sam moved carefully around the stand that held the amulet, inspecting it from all angles. In the dim room, the spotlight of the display caught on the angles of his face, highlighting him to an almost otherworldly beauty.

There were many things that drew her to Sam. His thirst for knowledge, as well as his attention to and care for ancient mysteries, was deeply attractive. But he was also one of the most beautiful people she had ever met. In this moment, she was deeply reminded of all the things that she loved about him. Desire surged up through her veins.

She sucked in a deep breath, turning away from him to the octavo. As she inspected the ancient grimoire pages from every angle, she felt a pair of strong hands circle her waist.

“You know, we’re all alone in here.” Sam’s chestnut curls brushed her cheek as he bent over to whisper in her ear. She leaned back into his arms, savoring the warmth of his body against hers.

This close, she inhaled the scent of his cologne, starch on his shirt and, underneath it, his clean sweat.

Finally, she spun in his grasp to face him. Even in heels, she had to tilt her face to look at him.

Sam’s hazel eyes sparkled with desire. “You look amazing tonight,” he murmured, his voice husky and almost hesitant. “This dress….” He traced her neckline from one shoulder to the other, over the swell of her breasts, his calloused fingers rough against her soft skin.

“You look quite dashing yourself,” she answered, winding the silk of his necktie around her fingers to tug him closer. Their lips met in a kiss that was soft at first, then grew more heated with pent-up longing. Sam’s hand slid over the satiny fabric of her dress, spanning the length of her back to hold her against him.

She let her hands slip up into his hair as she kissed him, painted nails grazing his scalp. He hummed in a way that she felt all the way to her core. Without thinking, she shimmied her body against his, trying to get closer, pressing in where he was already hard.

When her gaze met his again, she saw fire in his eyes, thin rings of green and gold around lust-blown pupils. His hands sank to her hips, tugging her up to grind against him.

She pulled back reluctantly. “We can’t,” she said with a meaningful glance towards the doorway. “Someone else could walk anytime. If we get caught, we lose any shot at what we came for.”

Sam nodded, his lips falling open, although no words came out. He seemed focused on trying to pull himself together. His shoulders rose and fell as his chest heaved with each deep breath.

Rowena smirked to herself. Not that she would ever admit it, but she loved him like this. There were few powers on earth she enjoyed as much as bringing the man she loved to his knees.

“Please --” The word was ragged.

Yes, she had him begging.

“Soon.” She reached up and caressed his cheek gently before pouting her lips and moving away slowly. She spun on her heel, taking a few steps with a deliberate sashay of her hips.

Sam caught up with her in two long strides. He took her hand and led her back in the direction of the light and noise spilling from the reception. On the way back, she passed a ladies’ room and ducked inside to touch up her lipstick.

He followed her, giving the room a sweeping glance before locking the door behind the two of them.

As she bent over to check her makeup in the mirror, he closed in, all but pinning her to the counter.

“What?” She gasped in delighted surprise. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“Just getting a little taste of what’s waiting for me later,” he answered, his lips soft against her ear. “If you’re going to tease me all night, you must expect that I’ll want to return the favor.”

Rowena hummed and pressed back against him. All her careful seduction was getting her exactly what she wanted. She took great delight in drawing out this domineering side of Sam, getting him all wound up and bossy like this. WIth her, he could be a whole different man than the nerdy younger brother most people saw.

While he spoke, he rucked up her skirt, long fingers gathering the dark fabric around her waist. One hand caressed the soft skin of her stomach and then lower, his touch like fire on her skin. His lips pressed a searing trail of kisses down the line of her neck.

When he passed the waistband of her panties, she gasped, arched her back, and widened her stance. He slid a foot between her heels to hold her open, and when his fingers found her slit, she whispered his name.

“Soaking wet for me, Ro, aren’t you?”

She nodded, breathless, as he began to touch her in the way she knew so well. She rocked her ass against him and his grip around her waist tightened, holding her close. She loved the way he made her feel, exposed and sheltered in his arms at the same time. When she was with him, she didn’t care about anything but him and all the things they could do together.

“Shhh,” he commanded her, low and firm. “What did you say about getting caught?”

She bit her lip to stifle the soft moans that she hadn’t known she was making and curled her fingers into his suited arm to hold on as an orgasm rippled through her.

Sam pulled his hands away slowly, making sure she could stand on her strappy heeled sandals. When she looked up at him in the mirror, he licked the taste of her slowly off his fingers. The sight of his hand and his mouth sent a shivery aftershock through her. He grinned, eyes glittering and dark.

Rowena’s painted lips curled up in a smug smile.

“You little witch!” he said, affection softening the words. Sam shook his head admiringly. “You always get exactly what you want.”

“Oh, yes,” she purred. “As will you, soon enough.”

She smoothed her dress down and took his offered arm as the two of them left the room.

“Hell,” a familiar voice said sharply. Dean was waiting for the two of them in the hall just outside the door. His eyes raked her over from head to toe. “You two are supposed to be providing a distraction. Not ducking into bathrooms doing, well, doing,” he sputtered, “whatever you were just doing in there.”

Before Sam could answer, Rowena spoke up. “If it’s a distraction you want, I’ve got this.” She lifted the fabric of her gown, breaking the flawless line of her skirt, leaving it just the tiniest bit disarrayed. She carefully tugged one strap of her dress down, so it fell just off the curve of her shoulder.

She turned to Sam and unknotted his tie with swift fingers, pulling it off and tucking it in the breast pocket of his jacket. Finally, she ran one hand through her hair. Her red curls fell in disordered glory around her face.

“Now, Dean,” her tone was clipped, “go. Get what we came for.”

When she stepped back into the room on Sam’s arm, heads turned. She heard the whispers of shame, not that she paid them any mind. Let them talk and be judgmental and jealous. No one else would have him in their bed tonight.

Sam led her to the area cleared for a dance floor. The string quartet was playing a soft, indistinguishable waltz and she swayed easily in his arms in time to the music. When she looked up at him, he smiled at her so gently that she felt warm all over.

He was so tall, so strong, and a skilled hunter. But when he was with her, he showed both a tenderness and an appetite for pleasure that she had never expected. He lavished attention on her and reveled in not only her physical beauty but also her mind and her own power.

In all her three hundred years, Rowena had never met a man who loved her like Sam. And, if she was honest, there probably was never anyone she had loved as much. She pressed closer and he tightened his embrace. For a long moment, her world shrank to just the two of them. Sadly, as much as she might like to pretend, this was a case.

He bent to brush his lips to hers and murmured so low only she could hear it, “Dean is back.”

She couldn’t hold back the triumphant smirk that crossed her face. Everything was going perfectly to plan. She would be leaving with exactly what she wanted -- an amulet for the Winchesters, grimoire pages for her, and Sam Winchester, once again, all hers.

She nodded as he lifted his arm and she twirled out, out to his fingertips - and straight into Dean’s waiting arms.

Rowena took his hand and felt a tiny packet in his palm. The octavo. She tucked it into her pocket next to her lipstick with a glancing motion. It took just a moment to fall into step together and then he was twirling her across the dance floor.

The music picked up tempo. To her surprise, Dean kept time with her every step.

“You know how to dance!” she exclaimed.

Dean gave her a half-quirked smile. “Let’s just say you’re not the first woman I’ve tangoed with.”

It was such a Dean answer, self-deprecation mixed with a little bit of mystery. Dancing with Sam had been intimate, but this was exciting. For just a moment, she forgot the plan, forgot everything except the enjoyment of dancing with a handsome man who knew how to move his body.

She felt his warm palm linger over her upper back longer than was necessary. To everyone else, it would look like he was getting handsy with her. But she knew, he was tucking the tiny silk pouch she had given him to hold the amulet down inside her snuggly fitted top.

Her eyes caught Sam’s and she nodded almost imperceptibly. In a few long strides, he was back on the dance floor, pulling Dean away from her.

“What do you think you’re doing, man?” Sam’s tone was frightening.

“Just having a good time, dancing with the lady!” Dean protested.

They shoved back and forth. Rowena stepped away, out of range. There was no question of distraction, now. The whole room was watching, waiters with their trays of hors d'oeuvres frozen in the air and musicians with their bows held silent over their strings.

Sam wound up and threw a calculated punch at Dean, who went sprawling backward, crashing into -- oh, shit. The raw bar. The table shuddered and tipped, and Dean fell to the floor in an avalanche of ice and seafood.

Sam stepped over to her, curled his arm around her waist in a possessive gesture, and led her towards the door. She glanced back at Dean and caught his wink.

As she watched, he picked up an oyster and slurped down the salty contents. He felt around for another and a lemon. There was a woman striding towards him, petite, with a black dress that hugged every curve.

“How dare you!” Her face was flushed beneath her freckles and her voice carried through the entire hall. “Do you know how much this cost me? I’ll sue you! I’ll end you.”

Security was right behind the catering manager, closing in on Dean. No one was watching the door, or Sam and Rowena, as the two of them made their escape. Outside, she hurried to keep up, taking two steps in her heels for every one of his long strides. They didn’t slow down until they had put a couple of blocks between them and the museum, turning the corner to where Baby was parked.

Sam opened her door before circling around the car and sliding behind the wheel. She collapsed on the leather bench seat, shaking with laughter. Sam looked at her, concern on his face, but her glee was contagious.

“Oh, my goddess,” Rowena finally managed. “That went far better than we could’ve even planned. Knocking over the table was --”

Just then, Dean flung open the door and slid in next to her, pressing her up against Sam. “Drive!” he said urgently, tossing a glance over his shoulder.

“Is the catering manager still chasing you?” Sam’s tone was even but she could see him biting back a grin.

“She’s just jealous that Dean didn’t eat her oyster,” she cracked, before dissolving into giggles again.

Dean looked at her for a long moment like she had lost her mind, before throwing back his head and joining in. She looked between the Winchesters. It was so rare to see them like this, teasing one another, flush with success, actually happy.

Back at the hotel, Sam tossed aside his jacket and undid the first few buttons of his shirt. Rowena was pleased that he left it on. That would figure nicely into her plans for the rest of the night. She stayed in her dress and heels, perfectly comfortable with being glamorous.

Dean popped into his room and returned in jeans and a t-shirt. He was still rubbing his damp, spiky hair with a towel when a knock sounded on the door.

“That’ll be room service!” He jumped to answer.

“Oh, no, did you not get enough to eat when you pulled an entire raw bar down around your head?” Sam scoffed, but a smile played around his lips.

The three of them gathered around the tiny hotel table, talking easily as they ate. When most of the food was done and cleared away (except for a pizza that Dean was saving for a midnight snack), Rowena cleared her throat.

“Now, for the purpose of our trip.” She turned to Sam, sweeping her hair up off her shoulders. “Can you get it?” His fingers slipped into the back of her dress and easily pulled out the bit of silk tucked there. He opened the pouch and shook the amulet into his hand.

“And the octavo pages from the grimoire?” he asked when she turned to face him.

“Oh, that.” She batted her lashes in the way she knew he found irresistible. “See, we didn’t need that as a companion to the amulet so much as I needed it.”

“You damn tricky witch!” Dean exclaimed. He leaned towards her, brows heavy. Then he sighed and shook his head. “Of course, there was something in it for you.”

“You got what you wanted, I got what I wanted.” She shrugged. “I don’t do these things merely for the pleasure of your company.”

Sam tipped his head. “She has a point.”

“Although speaking of getting what I want...” She turned back and laid one hand on the base of his neck, letting her fingers trail down into the open placket of his shirt. There was no mistaking her meaning, or the look on her face.

Sam blinked, color rising over his high cheekbones. His hand closed over hers, fingers dwarfing hers.

“Speaking of the pleasure of her company,” Dean snarked as he pushed back his chair and stood up. He grabbed the pizza and headed to the door. As he left, he called back over his shoulder, “Please remember that I’m right next door.”

When she and Sam were alone at last, he lifted her easily onto his lap. She felt his hands warm and solid on her back, her waist, her thighs, pulling her in and holding her close. She slipped her arms around his shoulders and twisted her fingers in the curls at the back of his neck.

She ghosted her lips over his jawline, down his neck, and lapped at the slightly salty taste in the hollow of his throat. “It’s not often I get to spend the night with such a handsome man,” she whispered, feeling his pulse under her kisses.

“And you...” He slid a hand under her chin, tilting her gaze up to meet his. “You’re always beautiful, but tonight, you’re on another level. This dress --”

“Would you like to take it off me?”

“Oh no, my gorgeous little witch,” he answered, an edge of command in his voice. His eyes were wide, and she could see his pulse beating fast in his throat. “I think I’ll have you just like this, at least the first time or two.”

He stood up, lifting her with him, and set her down in front of the desk in the room. When her heels touched the floor, he spun her around so they were both facing the mirror, and their glances met in their reflections.

“I’m ready to finish what we started earlier. Let me get a good look at those lacy little things you’ve got on underneath.” His lips brushed the shell of her ear, his voice low and urgent.

Rowena eagerly obeyed, and he carefully ran his fingers over the lace and ribbon, caressing her hips and ass through the soft fabric. She bucked back, shimmying against him where he was hard in his dress slacks. Finally, he undid his zipper and reached between her legs. Tugging her panties aside, he notched his cock up against her.

“Please,” she murmured.

“Now who’s begging?”

She didn’t answer, just arched her spine and braced her hands on the desk, letting her skirt fall down around them both. She whimpered, low and open, as he rocked into her. His hands slid up over her waist to cup her breasts through her bodice. He worked her nipples, dragging satin between his calloused fingers. She threw an arm back around his neck to hold him close and keep herself steady.

She craned her face towards his and he kissed her without ever slowing his thrusts. She moaned his name as her knees began to shake. He held her up with strong arms, whispered encouragement and praise as she came, clamping down around him.

He spun, and laid her softly back against the bed, kneeling between her legs. He unbuckled her delicate heels, one at a time, and then began to kiss his way up from her knees. She loved that and he knew it, the delightful shivers of anticipation and the brush of his lips on sensitive skin. He pushed her skirt higher and higher until he buried his face between her thighs.

Rowenae was still wearing those laced-up panties, soaking wet and completely ruined, when he lowered his mouth to her. At first, he teased her, licking at her through the lace, but she was quickly growing impatient. Finally, he pulled them off and tossed them aside.

The first touch of his lips sent a wave of sensation through her body, already keenly sensitive from arousal. She moaned, and rolled her hips up towards him, begging for more. He raised his head and smirked, disheveled and sweaty in his wrinkled white dress shirt, before he pressed back in. She reached for him, lacing her fingers in his hair, holding him close as she bucked and gasped under his attention.

“There,” she panted, “More.” As he increased the pressure with his mouth and his hand, her words unraveled into obscene pleas and curses. One hand yanked his dark soft hair while the other twisted in the sheets. He knew exactly what he was doing, exactly where and how to worship her until she closed her eyes and gave in to the wave of an overwhelming orgasm.

Sam stretched out next to her while she tried to catch her breath. After a long moment, she turned to face him as her eyes slowly fluttered open. He cupped her chin in his hand, running his thumb over her mouth. The first thing she said as she looked up at him was, “You’ve completely wrecked this dress.” He smiled down at her, lips wet, and helped her sit up.

“In that case,” he answered, “I guess we’d better take it off.”

They undressed one another slowly, touches lingering over one another's bodies. She pulled off his shirt and slacks, then he carefully undid her dress and helped her out of it. When they were both stripped bare, they lay back on the bed in one another’s arms. He trailed his hands over her porcelain skin, tracing her freckles where they stood out against her flushed chest, then down lower to her belly and thighs.

“I’ve been thinking about you like this all day,” he admitted.

“Are you sure it's been all day?” she teased, enjoying the attention and the power she had over him. “Are you sure you weren’t thinking of this when you asked for my help with this case?”

“Maybe I was,” he answered as he rolled over her, caging her in with his long, muscular arms. “A little bit of me is always thinking of this. Can you blame me?”

She shook her head and opened her mouth to answer, but the only thing that came out was, “Oh, Sam!” as he slid back into her in one strong motion. He fit her, filled her so perfectly, and then he started to move.

The two of them found a rhythm, sweat-slick bodies finally pressed against one another with nothing in between. He filled her, pushed her, so perfectly, and she took every inch of him over and over. She could feel another orgasm building slowly, and she was breathing hard, relishing every spark of sensation.

“Ro,” he bit off the words, his tone demanding. “Don’t tease. Come for me.”

She lifted her feet up, locking her ankles over his ass, so he could go in even deeper, and hit that perfect spot. She whined and swore as her back bowed, grinding up against him, fingers digging into his back as he carried her higher and higher.

He dropped his head, damp silky strands brushing her face, as he sucked bruising kisses over her neck and shoulders, teeth just grazing her collarbone. That little edge was all it took, and she obeyed his command, letting go under him, crying out, falling away except for his strong arms around her.

Sam groaned and gave in to his own orgasm at last. When they both stilled, breathing hard, Sam rolled to his side, tugging her with him. He pulled back just far enough to look at her, to cup her cheek in his hand. She let her eyes flutter closed for just a moment, heavy lashes brushing his fingertips.

“I’m sorry about your pretty dress, my love,” he said softly.

She laughed at that and looked back up at him, a teasing glint in her eyes. “I’m not. It served its purpose.”

“Was the purpose to acquire the amulet or to seduce me?” Sam grinned, easy and relaxed, his dimples deep.

“Mmm, maybe both. Besides, you paid for it with one of your stolen credit cards.”

Sam’s brows rose as his grin widened. “Well, I guess we can call it a necessary expense for the case, then. Something pretty to make this all worth your while, right?”

His mouth closed over hers again and there were no more words necessary. Very worth her while, indeed.

Seven Emblem books and two others!

Two sort of emblematic books (A&B) and Seven(1-7) emblem books in contemporary or original bindings!

1) Andres Alciati 1492 – 1550

V.C. Emblemata (Viri Clarissimi) Emblemata. Cum Claudij Minois ad eadam Commentariis & Notis Posterioribus. Quibus Emblematum omnium aperta origine, mens auctoris explicatur, & obscura omnia dubiáque illustrantur.

Lugduni (Lyon), Hæred. Gvlielmi Rovilii, 1600. 1600. Bound in coeval vellum with author and title on the spine in an early hand. Octavo ã8, e4, i8 A-Eee8, Eee*2 Fff8 Ggg4.

The ultimate reference for this book is Daly’ Andres Alciatus Index Emblematicsus 1985; ; Landwehr, J. Romanic emblem books; 89 ; Adams, A. French emblem books; F.063; Emblem books at the Univ. of Illinois; A32; Green, H. Andrea Alciati and his books of emblems,; 127; Baudrier, 1895-1921, v. 9, p. 464-65;. Item #738G

The emblem book, which attained enormous popularity in continental Europe and Great Britain, while it is possible to trace it back before was certantly made most popular by Alciati. . Alciato’s emblems were first published in Augsburg in Germany (two editions in 1531 and one in 1534); from 1534 onwards publishing shifted to France and remained there for the next thirty years. Wechel, who printed the Paris editions (from 1534), are like those in Augsburg. He can be said to have set the standard for clear presentation of emblems, with each emblem beginning on a fresh page, featuring the motto or title, the pictura below that, and then the subscription/epigram or verse text the main focus of publication for emblems shifted more firmly to Lyons from the mid 1540s, The 1550 Latin edition by Rouille is the first to have 211 emblems (the whole corpus, apart from the so-called obscene emblem ‘Adversus naturam peccantes’) illustrated. This edition includes biography of Andrea Alciati (leaves i1-i8). These emblems depict Alciati’s concern for the eternal nature of man and its contradictions, the attentive ear to the popular speech, the unfolding of the personality, madness, the reflection on human existence, the relationship between man and the woman, the struggle between reason and passion, and to the satire of society and its rules and rulers.

A) CARTARI 343J Vincenso Cartari. 1531–1569

B). Cuper, Gisbert Cuper. 1644-1716

Gisb. Cuperi Harpocrates, Sive Explicatio imaguncluæ argenteæ perantiquæ; quæ in figuram Harpocratis formata representat Solem. Ejusdem Monumenta Antiqua Inedita. Multi Auctorum loci, multæ Inscriptiones, Marmora, Nummi, Gemmæ, varii ritus, & Antiquitates in utroque Opusculo emendantur & illustrantur. Accedit Stephani Le Moine Epistola de Melanophoris.

Utrecht: (Trajecti ad Rhenum) Apud Franciscum Halma, Acad. Typogr., 1687, Quarto. This copy is bound in 20th century quarter calf. .

¶Harpocrates was adapted by the Greeks from the Egyptian child God Horus, who represented the newborn sun, rising each day at dawn. Harpocrates’s name was a Hellenization of the Egyptian Har-pa-khered or Heru-pa-khered, meaning “Horus the Child”. In the second century B.C., Egyptians connected Harpocrates with the mystic cult of the Egyptian goddess Isis. Harpocrates holds a finger to its lip for the Egyptians a symbolic gesture representing childhood.

¶Yet the Greeks mistook for a hush for silence., misinterpreting Harpocrates as the personification of silence, and this particular work is a study of statues and other art from classical antiquity that depict these later figures of silence. And again, the Roman interpretation added strength to the Mystery of silence.

The frontispiece signed and dated in the plate: Joh. van der Avele invention and fecit. Title page in red and black. This edition is enhanced with a letter of Etienne Le Moyne; this text has a half-title and the second text: Monumenta Antiqua. Cuper’s research is a precursor to art history and Winckelmann.

Brunet 6, no. 22603; Cicognara 3212; Ebert 5512; Graesse 2,308 , Item #388J

Price: $1,800.00

2). David, Jan David. 1545?-1613

Veridicus christianus: auctore P. Joanne David … Editio altera, auctior.

Antverpiæ ex officina Plantiniana, M. DCVI. Second edition. This copy is bound in full contemporary blind stamped calf over wooden boards with two working clasps. Quarto ‡4, ‡‡4, A-Z4, a-z4, Aa-Ee4.+ 100 Numbered Plates. With a special engraved t.p. with allegorical depiction of Christ carrying the cross, surrounded by ten artists at easels painting scenes from his life (as well as a few questionable profane subjects). The vovelle : The centers of the engraving and the volvelle (through which a string passes) are reinforced with small paper roundels printed with the monograms of Christ. The numbers are keyed to an “Indiculus orbitae” that follows (Bb1r-Bb2r). There a number, having been selected, is provided with a phrase from various Latin authors (listed on Bb2v), and a reference to one of the hundred sections that comprise the main text. It is suggested in Bibliotheca Belgica that this game may have been intended as a pious alternative to such superstitious books as Thuys der fortvnen.

Veridicus Christianus emphasizes the Society of Jesus’ investment in thinking in, though, and about visual images that exemplify the supreme mystery of God. Published as a tool of devotion and meditations, it features one hundred chapters that encompass a wide

range of topics for reflection. Each chapter incorporates an extensive commentary that interprets the emblematic image David too follows the order in which we apprehend things with our senses, beginning with a visual representation at the head of each chapter. Then comes the explication. The symboli explicatio was considered necessary because cultivated readers would be more susceptible to a reasoned argument than a

picture. The text is divided into 100 chapters, each with an allegorical engraving incorporating letters keyed to the explanatory text and with marginal references. Each of the 100 numbered plates has a single line of Latin at the head giving the subject, with two-line explanatory verses below the allegorical engraving in Latin (roman letter), Dutch (civilité) and French (italic) First plate (following [2 daggers]4) is added title leaf for the ill., which were also published separately; see Bibliotheca Belgica. The added title reads: Icones ad Veridicvm Christianvm P. Ioannis David e Societate Iesv At the end is Device with compasses and the motto “constantia et labore” on Ee4r . This book is notoriously found defective in one way or another, this copy is perfect and complete. . Item #382J

4) Izquierdo, Sebastian Izquierdo, Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Praxis exercitiorum spiritualium P.N.S. Ignatti. Auctore P. Sebastiano Izquierdo Alcarazense Societatis Jesu.

Rome: Romae : Typis Joannis Francisci Buagni, 1695, 1695. Octavo 7 X 4.75 inches A-G8,H4 This copy is very clean and bound in full contemporary vellum. Landwehr, Romanic, 412.Sommervogel, IV, 70 1#4 ; Palau 291230; Landwehr:Romantic 412.; Praz,p.382. Item #716

The Jesuit Sebastián Izquierdo in his Práctica de los ejercicios espirituales, written in (Spanish in )1665 translated in to Italian the same year then in 1678 translated as here into Latin and later published in several translations and versions offers an illustrated guide to the Ignatian spiritual exercises. The illustrations, 12 of them, are the subject of image meditation which was a favorite method of the Jesuits who, beginning with the monumental Evangelicae Historiae Imagines (1593) of Jerónimo Nadal, actively took hold of religious iconography and adjusted and concentrated it for the teaching of the Societies ( and Ignatius’ ) vision. The images are not just simple depiction’s instead they are mnemonic devices. These images are points of departures and give the current 21st century reader a precious examples of images that inspire meditation, direct the reception of the teachings and anchor them in the memory. Particularly memorable is the Image of Hell on page 72, The lay-out shows the pedagogical intentions and possibilities of this little book: there are 12 parts consisting of 12 separate quires, numbered from ‘A’ to ‘M’ and paginated each from 1-12, each with its own full-page illustration , these could have been meant to be distributed separately – according to match the educational needs or level of the students. The Images are in high contrast, with plenty of Bloody and memorable images. The Puteus Abyssi depicts a poor man who is naked and sitting in a chair in some sort of oubliette. He has sevenswords, each with animal head handles, in him and each is strategically stuck in various parts of the body. The swords are labeled for the passions. Most interesting of these might be the sword marked ‘Vengeance’ it is hanging offer the mans head, the Idleness sword is stuck between his legs, Gluttony in his stomach, Lust … Envy in his back, Avarice between his Shoulders and Pride in his heart.Izquierdo was also the author of Pharus scientiarum, a treatise on a methodology to access knowledge,

conceived as a single science. In this work, he assimilated Aristotelian and Baconian logic, and he expressed some original ideas on mathematics and logic that have earned their author a reputation as an outstanding mathematician. Not just like his Spanish contemporaries John Caramuel or Tomás Vicente Tosca , but also significant foreign mathematicians as Athanasius Kircher , Gaspar Knittel or Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , the latter, in particular, cited with, his Disputatio of Combinatione, in Combinatorial Art (1666).

6). Sucquet, Anton Sucquet

Piæ considerationes ad declinandum à malo et faciendum bonum : cum iconibus Viae vitae aeternae R.P. Antonij Sucquet è Societate Iesu.

Viennæ Austriæ : Wien : [s.n.], 1672, 1672. Boetius a Bolswert and title by “I.M. Lerch sc. Viennae. Quarto,4 ¾ X 7 inches . ( no printed signatures) π 4 A-T4 V2. This copy is bound in original vellum. There is a really interesting modern bookplate on the pastedown. ¶ Praz, M. Studies in 17th cent. imagery (2nd ed.),; p. 506; Corpus librorum emblematum. Jesuit series,; J.1414; Landwehr, J. German emblem books,; 564; De Backer-Sommervogel,; VI, column 892, no. 2. Item #715

There is an engraved emblematic title page signed “I.M. Lerch sc. Viennae;” The other 32 illustrations (numbered 1-32) are full-page emblems engraved by Boetius a Bolswert–See Landwehr. ¶The Illustrations are printed on the verso of leaf, recto is blank; accompanied by explanatory text on facing leaf. The text and illustrations are printed within ruled border. This popular emblematical work is arranged as a series of meditations, by the Jesuit Antoine Sucquet. Many religious emblem books were published during the 17th and 18th centuries, and of these, Sucquet’s work was one of the most popular. Because of its engravings by Boëtius a Bolswert , it was especially important for the development of the 17th-century Christian iconography. The counter-reformation produced a great number of emblematic meditation-books where text and illustrations are interwoven. Emblem books were therefore much favoured by the Jesuits for the purposes of teaching, as religious propaganda, and to provide subjects for meditation. The 17th-century Jesuit curriculum prescribed that emblems were composed in the schools. Members of the highest classes in the Flemish Jesuit colleges each composed an emblem, and the production of the entire class was collected in commemorative albums painted by professional artists and calligraphers. The meditation on the soul’s relation to Christ was precisely guided by provision of references in the engravings. The first religious catholic emblem book was published in 1571 and composed by Arias Montanus. In 1601 Jan David composed the first Jesuit emblem book, the “Veridicus Christianus”. Sucquet’s work is composed around the widely spread concept of the “homo viator in bivio”, the creature who during his life again and again arrives at the cross and has to make the good choice for the narrow and difficult path to his eternal destination. Sucquet made clear that vision is the most important sense of a human being. It had foundational importance for the Christian iconography of the seventeenth century. According to Brunet the work was very much searched after by the pious for its texts, by the curious minds for the 32 engravings by Boetius a Bolswert

Price: $1,900.00

7) Venius, Otto van Veen

Theater moral de la vida humana, en cien emblemas; con el Enchiridion de Epicteto, y La tabla de Cebes, philosofo platonico.

Boyfriends Scenarios Gold Saints x Reader

Confesión.

[Nombre] = tu nombre

[Apellido] = tu apellido

[c/o] = color de ojos [c/c] = color de cabello [l/c] = largo del cabello

------------------------------------------------------------…..------------------------------------------------------------------

Saga:

“Detente, sombra de mi bien esquivo, imagen del hechizo que más quiero, bella ilusión por quien alegre muero, dulce ficción por quien penosa vivo”, [Nombre] no pudo terminar de leer el soneto pues un potente trueno le distrajo; la chica cerro el libro depositándolo sobre su cama. Su corazón palpitaba con fuerza, las tormentas siempre le asustaban, ya que antes de llegar al Santuario no contaba con un techo que le cobijara de los elementos. Suspiro resignada y decidió salir de su dormitorio, su garganta estaba seca… dirigió sus pasos hacia la cocina.

El recinto se encontraba en penumbras, así que cuando un resplandor dorado emergió de una de las habitaciones, la doncella cambio su rumbo. El cosmos de Saga era lo que mantenía iluminado el pequeño despacho de Géminis. —¿Se te ofrece algo?—pregunto el caballero al detectar la presencia de [Nombre]. —No… yo solo iba de paso, ¿usted qué hace?—Saga aparto la mirada de la montaña de pergaminos. —Aprendo a leer los presagios en el manto estelar. —la jovencita corrió a su lado. —¿Me puede enseñar?—el geminiano le miro extrañado. — ¿Y a ti eso de que te serviría?—ella tamborileo sus piernas mientras mordía su labio inferior.—Pues para… tener algo más de que conversar con usted.—otro trueno resonó, la chica se sobresaltó con el estallido, cubriéndose los oídos con ambas palmas. Saga se apartó de su asiento y coloco sus manos sobre las de ella. —No debes temer.—dijo antes de deslizar sus apéndices por las muñecas de la fémina, haciéndola bajar los brazos.—Ya no estás sola.—con su pulgar e índice levanto el mentón de [Nombre] obligándola a mirarlo directamente a sus irises jade.—Si me lo permites, borrare todo infortunio de tu pasado y lo reemplazare con nuevos y hermosos momentos.—[Nombre] asintió a cada palabra que Saga le profesaba…

Kanon:

Deja el Santuario, ven conmigo a Atlantis.—Kanon no podía dejar de recordar la invitación de la ninfa del mar. Deseaba estar con [Nombre], pero no quería abandonar a Saga. Su vida en el Santuario no era de lo mejor pero, era el único hogar que había conocido en su corta existencia. —Deja de suspirar, te vas a acabar el oxígeno.—bromeo el gemelo mayor desde el vano de la puerta. — ¿Te has enamorado?—Saga casi se atraganta con el sorbo de agua que pretendía engullir. — ¿A qué viene eso?—pregunto en respuesta. — Conocí a alguien… y… me pidió que me fuera con ella. —el santo de Géminis lo sujeto por los hombros, su semblante sombrío descoloco al de cabellos añiles. — ¿Qué edad tiene?—Kanon parpadeo un par de veces, luego replico. —Quince, igual que nosotros.—Saga le soltó, una expresión de alivio adornaba ahora sus facciones.—Creí que se trataba de una señora intentando comprarte.—su igual dejo que fluir una carcajada. — ¿No sabes qué hacer?—Kanon se encogió de hombros.—Ve con ella.—el asombro en los orbes verdes del menor no se ocultaba.—Mereces más de lo que el Santuario te ofrece.—Kanon le abrazo ganándose un gruñido por parte de Saga. — ¡Gracias!—agrego al liberarlo, sin perder un segundo más corrió en dirección a la playa…

[¡Nombre!]—la ninfa fue tacleada en la blanca arena, pero casi no sintió el impacto pues el ateniense la resguardo en sus brazos, dejándola encima de él. — [¡Nombre!]—repitió Kanon estrechándola contra sus pectorales. — ¿Kanon?—contesto la chica de irises [c/o] confundida.—Iré contigo… al mismo Hades si es necesario, porque… te amo.

Shaka:

Shaka llevaba una semana sin poder dormir, su mente estaba plagada con un solo pensamiento o mejor dicho, persona… [Nombre], la doncella del octavo templo se había ganado un lugar muy especial en el corazón del hindú.

El rubio no dejaba de caminar en círculos, no lograba meditar y había sufrido una deshonrosa derrota contra Death Mask durante un entrenamiento, y todo por creer que la chica de cabellos [c/c] estaba entre la multitud que observaba el combate… Shaka sacudió la cabeza en negativa. —¡Agh!—se giró hacia la salida de Virgo y comenzó su ascenso hacia Escorpio. Una vez en la entrada del recinto elevo su cosmos para llamar la atención del custodio. Milo salió a su encuentro con su usual altivo andar. — ¿Shaka? A qué se debe el honor.—exclamo el de cabello cerúleo con una media sonrisa.—[Nombre], ¿está aquí?—el griego tuvo que hacer uso de todo su autocontrol para no carcajearse.—Tal vez.—se arriesgó a jugar con las reacciones de su hermano de armas. —¿Por?—Shaka comenzaba a sonrojarse.—Necesito hablar con ella.—Milo respondió con un escueto “Hmm”. — ¿Sobre qué?—el escorpión dorado sabia donde golpear, el rubio clavo sus orbes celestes en los turquesa de su compañero. — ¿Shaka?—la dulce voz de [Nombre] evito una guerra de los mil días; al ser llamado por la fémina el hindú no dudo en pasar de largo a Milo para llegar a ella. —Debemos hablar, en privado.—recalco lo último al percibir al griego acercarse a ellos. —Amm. —la doncella pregunto con la mirada por la autorización de su “señor”, Milo asintió retirándose a los privados del templo.—[Nombre].—susurro Shaka posando ambas manos en los hombros de ella. — ¿Sí?—respondió alarmada, el rubio jamás había hecho contacto físico; Shaka tenía las palabras perfectas hace unos momentos, ahora su mente estaba en blanco. Inspiro profundamente y… unió sus labios a los de la chica, el beso era gentil y lento, [Nombre] correspondió a las acciones del guerrero, sus delicados dedos se aferraron al peto dorado de la armadura. Cuando el beso finalizo Shaka dijo. —Se mía…

Aioria:

¿Así que este es el Santuario? —exclamo totalmente asombrada [Nombre] sin dejar de observar hasta el mínimo detalle de la imponente arquitectura del primero de los doce templos. — ¿Te gusta?—inquirió Aioria, la joven asintió efusiva. — ¿Puedo ver Leo?—pregunto ilusionada, el rubio fingió pensarlo, para que la fémina no intuyera lo que estaba por hacer. Antes de que lograra procesarlo, el santo de oro ya la llevaba en brazos a una velocidad vertiginosa, [Nombre] se aferró al cuello del guerrero como si su vida dependiera de ello. —Llegamos. — anuncio Aioria, la chica abrió uno solo de sus vivaces ojos [c/o] para asegurarse que no le mintiera. El sentido de la vista en [Nombre] fue recompensado con el exuberante paisaje de cuatro recintos bajo sus pies, una parvada de avecillas alzo el vuelo desde la copa de un robusto olivo, el firmamento lucía un brillante azul, sin nubes que lo entorpecieran, la luz dorada del astro rey besaba la superficie terrestre. —Es… perfecto. —susurro la joven aun en los brazos de Aioria.—Lo sé. – respondió él, pero al contrario de ella, el ojiverde contemplaba a la chica que sostenía contra su pecho.—Ya puedes bajarme.—agrego [Nombre] deslizando sus manos por los músculos deltoides del ateniense.—Lo sé pero, no quiero.—las mejillas de la fémina se tiñeron de carmín.—A-aioria.—tartamudeo intentando liberarse, Leo reafirmo el agarre en sus piernas y espalda.—[Nombre] solo… permíteme que este momento se extienda.—Aioria descanso su barbilla en la cabeza de la chica.—Significa que, ¿te gusto?—pregunto ella formando un puchero. —¿Quieres que lo diga?—replico él, ella movió la cabeza afirmativamente.—[Nombre] [Apellido], ¿aceptarías ser mi novia?

Mu:

Si de algo se le podía acusar a la doncella llamada [Nombre], era de ser un tanto descuidada…

Aquella tarde [Nombre] se apresuraba para encender las antorchas que brindarían de luz a Tauro en la oscuridad de la noche. La fémina froto la cabeza del fosforo contra el lado áspero de la cajetilla, unas chispas saltaron antes de que se produjera la flama. — ¡[Nombre]!—escucho la voz de la amazona de Águila, también conocida como la mejor amiga de la doncella, la chica de hebras [l/c] y [c/c] alzo su extremidad libre, agitándola animada, la guerrera le devolvió el gesto luego siguió su descenso al primer templo. De pronto una sensación de dolor ardiente asalto sus falanges. — ¡Ow!—se quejó soltado el fosforo que se había consumido casi en su totalidad; estaba por llevarse la parte afectada a sus labios cuando unas manos suaves pero de mayor tamaño se adueñaron de su extremidad lesionada. —¿Mu?—literalmente pregunto al ver el rostro del consternado santo de Athena. —Presta atención a lo que haces. —le reprendió revisando su virginal piel; usando una mínima parte de su cosmos, el guerrero sano por completo las quemaduras. –Cuando será el día que seas más cuidadosa. —exclamo en tono severo cruzándose de brazos, [Nombre] bajo la cabeza.—Lo siento.—musito.—Sentirlo no hace que me preocupe ¡menos!—los orbes [c/o] de la doncella se fijaron en los esmeralda de Mu. — ¿Te preocupas por mí?—inquirió gratamente sorprendida. —¡Claro! No sabes lo mucho que significas para ¡mi!—al darse cuenta de lo que acababa de confesar, el ariano se cubrió la boca con su diestra, ella le sonrió, luego deposito un beso en su mejilla…

Milo:

La doctora [Apellido] salió un par de horas más tarde de la clínica, debido un accidente de tránsito que lleno el sanatorio con los heridos.

Las calles de Rodorio estaban vacías, las luces del alumbrado público tintineaban por lo antiguas que era, una corriente de viento helado hizo tiritar a [Nombre], quien no dudo en frotar sus brazos con las manos para aumentar su temperatura corporal. —Si tienes frio, tal vez yo pueda hacer algo para ayudarte. —profirió un hombre cortándole el paso. —No, gracias.—respondió con una sonrisa incómoda intentando pasar del tipo, pero este volvió a bloquear su camino. — ¡Vamos hermosa!—la sujeto por el antebrazo. — ¡Suélteme!— ella demando intentando liberarse. — ¡Oi—una profunda voz varonil atrajo la atención del acosador.—Tienes medio segundo para soltar a mi chica, o te arrancare la cabeza del primer golpe.—el sujeto trago grueso al notar la mirada asesina de Milo.—Ya está — levanto los brazos en forma de rendición y salió corriendo tan veloz como sus temblorosas piernas se lo permitieron. —Con que tu chica ¿Eh?—el griego se ruborizo en 50 tonos diferentes cuando la hermosa mujer le recordó lo que había dicho. —Yo.—el índice de la doctora sello los labios de Escorpio.—No tengo objeción con serlo…

Camus:

Nueve años como amigos eran más que suficientes. La amazona sabia de los sentimientos de Acuario hacia ella, después de todo él era más que obvio. [Nombre] no esperaría otros nueve años para que Camus se le declarara.

Tenían que verse en el coliseo para un enfrentamiento, ese sería el método perfecto para reclamar el amor del francés.

En las gradas solo les veía Milo, las batallas de la guerrera eran tan feroces y admirables como peligrosas, por ello pocos se atrevían a presenciarlas. En diferentes ocasiones [Nombre] lanzo a sus oponentes contra los espectadores, dejando un buen número de personas heridas e inconscientes. —¿Estas lista para perder? — cuestiono Camus a la deslumbrante ateniense.—Cuando te venza, quiero algo… que solo tú puedes brindarme.—tal comentario lo tomo desprevenido.—Y-y que… sería eso.—cuestiono con semblante inexpresivo aunque su voz le traicionaba. —Si gano…— la amazona comenzó a rodearlo, con cada paso se reducía la distancia. —Te convertirás en mi novio. —Camus se quedó estático, [Nombre] interpreto su silencio como un “Si”, por ello no dudo en blandir sus puños contra el de cabellos aguamarina, el impacto cimbró el piso, Milo cerro los ojos con una mueca de dolor al creer que la chica dejaba sin dientes a su mejor amigo. —Acepto—declaro Camus tomando el puño de [Nombre] que seguía sobre su mejilla, entrelazando sus falanges a los de ella. — ¿Ah?—el francés coloco una porción del suave cabello de la amazona detrás de su oreja y esbozando una ligera pero honesta sonrisa añadió.—Desde hoy somos novios.

Autumn and Halloween (Octavo X Reader/Astor X Reader Headcanons)!

I’m still making these, don’t worry. I am so in love with these two like you wouldn’t believe, so here’s another set of self-ship headcanons for those who are down bad for them too

Octavo

- Octavo prefers the colder weather over the hot Summer, even if he’s prone to feeling cold most of the time

- He’s actually rather excited for Fall, ‘cause it means comfy sweaters, pretty colors, pumpkin spice, Halloween... but most importantly, getting to relax and spend time with you!

- Speaking of Halloween, Octavo can’t wait for trick-or-treating. He may or may not have a huge sweet tooth hehe

- Whatever costume you plan to wear, he’d love to match with you!

- When the two of you come home from busy days out in the chilly weather, the best part of his night is getting to hold you in his arms to keep warm while the two of you watch classic Halloween movies

Astor

- Astor is NOT fond of the chilly seasons. But he LOVES Halloween! He loves any chance to be spooky!

- This man will wear layers of sweaters when going out. Bonus points if they’re yours

- Astor would rather stay home and hand out candy to kids passing by, but every once in a while he’ll go out with you if you want to go trick-or-treating. It’s n-not because he cares or wants to make you happy or wants to keep you safe or anything...

- If Astor does go with you, he is guaranteed to wear a costume consisting of robes and/or hoods

- Also if you think his own makeup that he wears 24/7 is impressive/creepy, just wait till he does yours! The dude’s actually an artist. You’ll go out looking your absolute scariest!

- Astor also enjoys watching the scary movies with you during this season. However, if certain movies really get to you and give you nightmares, he’ll save those for himself. He loves his horror but he loves your happiness and comfort more

And that about does it. Hope you like, don’t forget to reblog and please send in some suggestions! I wanna write for these two but no thoughts, head empty!

#headcanons #octavo #astor #self ship #f/o headcanons #cadence of hyrule #age of calamity #octavo x reader #astor x reader #just a few more days and it will be THE SPOOKY MONTH #i apologize if these seem a bit lackluster #again no thoughts head empty my brain short circuits the moment i try to write lmao #can't wait for halloween #what costumes do you imagine you and your f/os wearing? just curious #halloween

Cute Pet Names/Nicknames (Octavo X Reader/Astor X Reader)

Waaaaaaah hi I did NOT forget about these X Reader headcanons I just have NO motivation and NO ideas and NO idea how to write these half the time lmao. So this next one is just gonna be short but sweet. Enjoy!

Octavo

Octavo has these he would call you:

- Darling

- Songbird

- Dearest

- My love/dear

Octavo appreciates whatever you would call him as well. And even though he’s very fucking cute, calling him as such flusters him. He likes “handsome” and “beautiful” better, but he doesn’t necessarily mind “cute” as long as you two are very close. He might even be like “no u.” He also likes “‘Tavo” and “Octy,” though he prefers the latter being reserved for his lover only. And well... You are his lover, so there you go!

Astor

Astor generally doesn’t really use pet names that much, but when he does, he may call you

- Beloved

- Dear

- Starlight

- My sweet

These all depend on his mood. Generally when he’s happy or feeling just a little bit SAPPY for you that day hehehe. It’s kinda the same for anything you call him. However, he might not believe you if you give him a complimentary nickname (other people might not either ‘cause like look at him ksjfhkshfd but whatever f them he’s your babygirl). SPEAKING OF WHICH, you can call him babygirl, probably, but he won’t know wtf you’re talking about. At the end of the day, he may just be like “...Please just stick to “honey...”

#octavo #octavo x reader #astor #astor x reader #x reader #self ship #yeah this one might be a little meh compared to the others #i tried my best though lol #and yeah like i said i'm having a hard time getting these out #but i won't rest until i have a significant amount of x reader hcs for these underrated villains #i mean no one else will write them so /j

Only a day or two ago I was notified that I was in contact with some people tested for and found positive for Covid-19, this came as nothing un expected, I was in contact with hundreds of people many from Europe recently. Then, as you know we are experiencing, most Universities, Libraries and Book Shows have been indefinitely closed, and because of this; many of us find or try lively-hood’s challenged. In a situation where it seems that there is little to do that will improve the current situation any faster than time will take its course, I have turned to reading and writing. I have been researching, as best as I can from home, fifteen books which are new to my stock. There are many more stuck in Europe and this gives me hope. It is the first day of spring and I awoke to a beautiful snow squall… In like a Lion..

And here are the fruits…

2) 353J Alberto da Castello (ca. 1460-1522)

Rosario della gloriosa Vergine Maria : con lle sttattiionii & iindullgenttiie delllle chiiese di Roma perr tutto L’’anno.

In Venetia : Presso la compagnia de gli Vniti,1585. $7,800

Octavo. 6 x 3 3/4. A-Z, Aa-Ii8. A later edition of the first ‘Rosary Book” in Italian.

This book has a wonderful contemporary binding, recently expertly rebacked. It is of red Morocco with gilt center images and borders gilt, with angels. Certainly these books were

very popular, that said, very few copies have survived. This edition is represented on OCLC by only two copies worldwide. 1 US copy Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University. (SJU Alcuin Arca Artium Rare BookBX2163 .C37 1585). [The authorship of the work and the woodcuts are attributable to the Dominican Friar Alberto da Castello, identified as author or editor at the authorizations of the Venecian Inquisition, given 5 April 1521. (Francesco Pisano)]

Over 150 woodcuts (including repeats) comprising almost full-page cuts (1 on t.p.) within borders. All had previously appeared in earlier editions. Ornamental and pictorial border pieces on almost every leaf. ( The wood cut on leaf 173v is upside down in the border!) Each wood cuts represent the “Mysteries of the Rosary”

“From the beginning, publications on the Rosary came accompanied by lavish xilographic illustrations. The most striking of these can be found in the edition of the Rosario della gloriosa Vergine Maria by Alberto da Castello from 1521 [Fig. 14.1], which contains a wealth of illustrations. This clearly shows that the Rosary was not just an oral recitation, but was also a contemplative prayer engaging the imagination, a combination later mirrored by the exercises of Ignatius of Loyola.

Alberto da Castello, born in the middle of the fifteenth century in Venice, joined the Dominican order around 1470 and wrote several devotional, liturgical, historical and canonical texts. In the Epistola prohemiale of his Rosario della gloriosa Vergine Maria he says that he wrote the meditations and organised the images ‘acciò che gli idioti che non sanno legere habbino el modo de contemplare gli divini beneficii et de questa contemplatione ne habbino qualche frutto spirituale’.( fol. 6r. ‘So that even the illiterate have a means to contemplate gifts of the divine and to receive spiritual fruits from such contemplation’ (translations are mine).He states that he writes especially for the ‘ignoranti, illetterati, idioti’, and that a good Christian must hold the mysteries of the Rosary deep in his heart. (Literary and Visual Forms of a Domestic Devotion: The Rosary in Renaissance Italy. Erminia Ardissino)

The mysteries of the rosary were introduced by Dominic of Prussia sometime between 1410 and 1439. This gave each decade of the rosary a unique quality. Each mystery leads us to ponder very specific events in the lives of Jesus and Mary and the lessons they hold for our own lives today.

The Rosary has a ritual aspect that individual prayers lack, and it is highly structured. It entails the recitation of 150 Ave Marias, clustered in groups of ten, preceded by a Pater noster and the proposition of a ‘mystery’ upon which to meditate. This number of 150

Ave Marias seems to be designed to correspond to the 150 psalms in the Davidic psalter, which is why the Rosary is also known as the ‘Virgin’s psalter’. It does not consist only of repetitive prayers, however, but also entails meditations. Indeed, the Rosary created by Dominic of Prussia was a kind of meditation on the life of Christ and Mary. In his Liber experientiarum he ‘explicitly claimed to be the first to have composed a series of fifty points on the life of Christ that were to be meditated on while reciting the Ave Marias’.

100 full page plates and a volvelle!

3) 382J Jan David. 1545?-1613.

Veridicus christianus: auctore P. Joanne David … Editio altera, auctior.

Antverpiæ ex officina Plantiniana, M. DCVI. $6,500

Quarto 8 1/2 X 6 inches ‡4, ‡‡4, A-Z4, a-z4, Aa-Ee4.+ 100 Numbered Plates. Withspecial engraved t.p. with allegorical depiction of Christ carrying the cross, surrounded by ten artists at easels painting scenes from his life (as well as a few questionable profane subjects).

The text is divided into 100 chapters, each with an allegorical engraving incorporating letters keyed to the explanatory text and with marginal references. Each of the 100 numbered plates has a single line of Latin at the head giving the subject, with two-line explanatory verses below the allegorical engraving in Latin (roman letter), Dutch (civilité) and French (italic) First plate (following [2 daggers]4) is added title leaf for the ill., which were also published separately; see Bibliotheca Belgica. The added title reads: Icones ad Veridicvm Christianvm P. Ioannis David e Societate Iesv At the end is Device with compasses and the motto “constantia et labore” on Ee4r . This book is notoriously found defective in one way or another, this copy is perfect and complete.

This copy is bound in full contemporary blind stamped calf over wooden boards with two working clasps.

The Veridicus christianus: is followed by the “Orbita probitatis ad Christi imitationem veridico Christano subserviens”: p. 351-374; which preceds a volvelle plate for use in locating specific passages.

This text contains a series of images with accessible (sometimes to a fault) moral or religious messages. These illustration swarns against opening the senses to temptation lest death and moral decay take up residence in one’s soul.

The Veridicus Christianus emphasizes the Society of Jesus’ investment in thinking in, though, and about visual images that exemplify the supreme mystery of God. Published as a tool of devotion and meditations, it features one hundred chapters that encompass a wide range of topics for reflection. Each chapter incorporates an extensive commentary that interprets the emblematic image David too follows the order in which we apprehend things with our senses, beginning with a visual representation at the head of each chapter. Then comes the explication. The symboli explicatio was considered necessary because cultivated readers would be more susceptible to a reasoned argument than a picture.

Here are images of the vovell. The centers of the engraving and the volvelle (through which a string passes) are reinforced with small paper roundels printed with the monograms of Christ. The numbers are keyed to an “Indiculus orbitae” that follows (Bb1r-Bb2r). There a number, having been selected, is provided with a phrase from various Latin authors (listed on Bb2v), and a reference to one of the hundred sections that comprise the main text. It is suggested in Bibliotheca Belgica that this game may have been intended as a pious alternative to such superstitious books as Thuys der fortvnen.

4) 312J. Domenico Cavalca. (1270?-1342)

Pungi lingua

[Baptista de Tortis]: Venexia, Adi .viiii. de Octubrio. 1494 $12,000

Quarto (200 x 145 mm); [80] pages. a-k8. Large woodcut depicting the crucifixion on the frontispiece, First Venetian edition with the beautiful woodblock published here for the first time. This copy has a beautiful initial “A” in gold, blue, red and green, a colorful coat of arms. This copy is bound in modern carta rustic with a gold title on an orange label

This is a treatise on the dangers of the misuse of the language it was, as you might expect quite popular . Written by the Dominican monk who was a contemporary of Dante and among the first to write in the vernacular, and one of the most successful translators of holy texts.

Aside from Biblical illustrations, the Pungilingua has many exempla drawn from many other sources including some not includes in the Alphabetum narratinum. Most of the stories are told in one to three lines, and many contain commerce with the Devil, one time disguised as a horse. In the prologue Cavalca mentions that he gathered his exempla from many sources “alcune poche cose” . One of the major sources is the Summa Vitiorum by Peraldus. but he also quite a few profane authors , Seneca, Socrates, Cicero, Valerius Maximus. That said, quite often Cavalca attributes the wrong author. Cavalca writes as though he was speaking to the reader in person useing phrases like “Io per me credo” and “Oimé “ Introducing unique stories and words, He refers to someone as double-tongued as a “tecomeco” (bilingue) . He refers to a sleight of hand trick ,called “gherminella” a word which was used later by Boccaccio. This is an important book in Italian literary history, and the Italian vocabulary leaving many contemporary proverbs and descriptions of medieval life.

6) 358J Jacobus de Gruytrode 1400-1475

Speculum animae peccatricis

[Memmingen : Albrecht Kunne, about 1490] $6,500

Quarto , [28] ff, 33 lines, the first initial (5 lines) is painted in white and blue on a golden background, upper and left margin richly decorated in red, purple, blue and gold and with two red beasts. 19th c. binding in half leather, title gilt on spine, all edges gilt. Sometimes falsely attributed to Dionysius Carthusiensis, the Speculum is now attributed either to Jacobus de Gruytrode (cf. Bloomfield) or to Jacobus de Clusa (cf. L. Meier, Die Werke des Erfurter Karthäusers Jakob von Jüterbog, Münster, 1955).

Speculum animae peccatricis is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery, sin (especially lechery), penance, rejection of the world, the vanity of human wishes, death and hell and heaven.

Firste of the filthenes and miserie of man. Below are the chapter in English

Secounde of the synnes ingeneralle and of their effectis.

Thyrde howe they ought hastely with all diligence to do penaunce.

Fourth howe they ought to fle the world.

Fyfthe of the false Riches and vayne ho∣noures of the worlde.

Sixt howe they ought to drede deth.

Seuenth of the Ioyes of paradyse and of the paynes of hell.

There is no modern critical edition of the text. Among the devotional books by the Flemish mystical writers of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, none was more popular on the Continent and in England during the early Renaissance than the Speculum aureum animae peccatricis or The mirroure of golde for the synfull soule, which Lady Margaret Beaufort translated into English. Since the sixteenth century, bibliographers have listed the Speculum as the work of the Carthusian monk Jacobus de Gruytroede, prior of the Liége Charterhouse from 1440 to 1475, yet the English version is always attributed to his friend Denis de Leuwis or Dionysius the Carthusian, as he is better known. The question of authorship may be satisfactorily settled as the result of recent research by an English Carthusian scholar in the library of the Certosa in Farneta. He noted that the editors of Dionysius’s Opera omnia (Tournai, 1913) explain how the error in authorship began. In volume xlii they point out that, owing to the Carthusian tradition of anonymity during a monk’s lifetime, the Speculum was printed anonymously until 1495, in which year the Nuremberg printer Paul Wagner first issued it as a work by Dionysius. He found the manuscript of the Speculum in the library at Ruremond, where Dionysius was prior until his death in 1471, and supposed it was written by him, as were the other works he intended to print. The two priors were close friends, and dedicated several of their works to each other. Nugent E.M. (1969) Jacobus de Gruytroede. In: Nugent E.M.

7) 351J. Hrabanus Maurus. 784-856?

Magnencij Rabani Mauri De Laudib[us] sancte Crucis opus. erudicione versu prosaq[ue] mirificum.

Phorçheim. [Pforzheim] : In ædibus Thom[ae] Anshelmi., 1503. $10,700

Folio Aa6, Bb4, a-k6, A-B6, C4 (last leaf blank).

THIS COPY LACKING [four leaves] A5 & 6, Bb1 and a1. [two woodcuts of Alcuin interceding on behalf of Rabanus before Pope Gregory iv, and of Rabanus presenting his poems to the Pope; and two figured dedicatory poems the first to Louis the Pious the next christ crucified] It is bound in a full vellum modern binding. First Edition (for a second edition see below) Types 3:109R, 4:180G; 40 lines of transcribed verse + headline, 40 lines of commentary + headline, red and black printing throughout, calligraphic woodcut initial (Proctor, fig. 24) M on title page, woodcut initials printed in red, and a figured prefatory poem, 28 carmina figurata, the first entirely xylographic, the remaining poems combining printed and xylographic letters with the versus intexti printed in red (except fig. xvi), enclosed by either woodcut figures (of the emperor, Christ, the Evangelists, Cherubim, etc.) printed in black or by Christian symbols and characters, most defined by metal rules in red.

This is a remarkable typographical achievement, probably the earliest attempt to reproduce a medieval manuscript. The greater portion of the work comprises a preface in verse and twenty-eight poems. “Hrabanus Maurus, the abbot of Fulda, wrote in the midst of the ‘new monasticism,’ a period associated with a revival of literacy and learning. In religious and secular spheres. This ‘script culture,’ as Rosamond McKitterick has it, used the written word not only as a mode of communication but as ‘a resource, a guide, a key, and an inspiration,’ especially in the devotional practice of Christianity.

Each of the twenty-eight picture poems that form In honorem sanctae crucis explores a different theme relating to the Cross through a complex interplay of word and image. The poems each have an equal number of letters per line, written continuously like a grid. By following the letters in the usual direction for a Latin text—from left to right, top to bottom—each grid reads as one long poem. But within each grid, certain letters are also marked out with colour and drawings to form pictures. The letters that make up these pictures read as separate short poems embedded within the larger poem. As such, each page of In honorem sanctae crucis presents not just a puzzle of words and pictures, full of hidden and interrelated messages for the reader to decode bout a meditation exercise.

“Hrabanus created the various shapes and figures by highlighting individual letters in underlying poens in colour (in the printed editions red), and theses individual letters together make up meaningful text , ranging from simple declarations to very elaborate ones. For example, Carmina 2 contains a simple cross inside a square (Hrabanus calls it a “tetragonum”)whose sides form a border for the poem as a whole. The textfrom the underlying poen that makes up the figure consists of six hexameters, each one an address to the cross beginning with the words ‘O crux…’ When we follow Hrabanus’s instruction in the accompanying prose text for reading these hexameters, we find the following: even though the verse that forms the top of the square is also the opening of the underlying poem, he insists that we begin reading with the stem of the cross, from top to bottom.” (Schipper)

Sunt quoque uersus duo in ipsa ccruceconscripti, quorum prior est: O CRVX QVAE SVMMI ES NOTO DEDICATA TROPAEO

a summo in ima descendens. Alter uero: O CRVX QVAE CHRISTI ES CARO BENEDICTA TRIVMPHO a dextra in sinistram crucis tendens ‡

‡“there are also two verses inscribed in the cross, the first of which is : “ O cross , thou who art at the height of fame, a dedicated moment” ‘running from the top down. And a second’ “O Cross thou who through the body of Christ art the blessed triumph” ‘running from the right to the left.’

Further more Hrabanus flips left and right the texts point of view alternates , Hrabanus tells us the cross is looking out at the reader, not the other way around. “ Only after we have read the hexameters in the cross are we free to read the verses in the four sides of the tetragon, and even then Hrabanus constrains the order in which they are to be read: first the top, then the bottom, then the right side then finally the left side.”

More complex figures present further challenges in reading. The figure in Carmen 25, for example, consists of eight letters of the word ‘ALLEVIA’ arranged around a small cross. It does not take much effort to notice that we need to start with the A, read down to the E, continue on the left, and end on the right of the figure; and that each time we trace out those letters we make the sign of the cross. It becomes more difficult when we also try and read the text that is enclosed in the figures.

The letters of ALLEVIA are made of the following letters from the underlying poem. A crux[a L eter L na[de E i]es[lave[v L ivis V in]arc I e]po A lorvm

CRUX AETERNA DEI ES LAVS VIVIS IN ARCE POLORUM

ANANI’A, JOHANNES DE : his family name, Anagni. implies that he was of the family of the Catani, and that his father’s name was Leonardo. He taught canon law in Bologna, and had the reputation of a conscientious man. He studied under Floriano di San Pietro. Alexander Tartagni and Andreas Barbati were his scholars; the former became his step-son, and the latter inherited his library. According to Orlandi, Anania was sent ambassador from the city of Bologna to Pope Martin V. in 1425, and he was also employed to conduct negotiations with other princes. Johannes de Anania at the time of his death, in 1455 or 1458, was archdeacon at Bologna. Spangenberg enumerates four of his works, three of which were published at Lyon between 1521 and 1555 : — 1. A Commentary on the fifth book of the Decretals, published in folio at Lyon in 1521, and reprinted there in 1553. 2. Consilia, discovered and edited by Ludovico Bolognini, in folio, at Lyon in 1555, reprinted at Venice in 1570. 3. “De Revocatione Feudi alienati,” in octavo, at Lyon, in 1546, reprinted at Basle in 1564. 4. A Collection of the Decisions of the Roman Rota, at Venice, in folio, in 1496. Mazzuchelli mentions a treatise on the law as to salaries, “Allegatio de Salario et Stipendio ac de Obligatione et Promissione Domini,” which is preserved in MS. at Bologna in the library of the Collegio di Spagna. In addition to these Lipenius ascribes to Johannes de Anania a legal tract on church patronage, “De Jure Patronatus Ecclesiastico,” published at Amsterdam in 1640; and a collection of cases (” Quaestiones”) at Cologne in 1570. To the folio edition of Baldus, “In Usus Feudorum Commentaria,”

published at Lyon in 1550, there is appended a thesis on the law regarding the alienation of fiefs, maintained by Johannes de Anania at a public disputation in Bologna. The date is not given, but he is styled “Doctor et Canonicus,” and his opponent is said to have been Secundinus de Natis; and the publisher intimates that the MS. had been preserved in the library of Johannes Nevizanus at Asti. No. 446. of the Arundel MSS. in the library of the British Museum contains a treatise “De Usuris” by Johannes de Anania. The volume is of a large folio form, and the ” De Usuris,” written in a small character with numerous contractions, occupies the folios 93. to 164. inclusive, each folio containing four columns. These treatises are the only compositions of the author we have seen, and they leave a favourable impression of his skill in selecting authorities to support and elucidate his positions, and of his talent for lucid arrangement.

“Thus in the must varied branches of science Kircher played the role of pioneer. Even medicine received his attention, as is shown for example by his treatise, ‘Scrutinium phyisco-medicum contagiosæ luis, quæ pestis dicitur’ (Rome, 1663). His scientific activities brought him into scientific correspondence with scholars laboring in the most different fields, as the numerous volumes of his extant letters show. It is to his inventive mind that we owe one of the earliest of our counting machines: the speaking-tube and æolian harp were perfected by him. He was also the inventor of the magic lantern which has since been brought to such perfection and is and is today almost indispensable. [All of these devices are illustrated in the present work, compiled in the year of the author’s death by Kircher and his student Johann Stephan Kestler, including three large and striking engravings of magic lanterns.]” May I ask the reader to take the following quote with a measure of indulgence for its closed minded author [circa 1913] with the hope that modern folk of the last decade of the second millennium have a bit more tolerance for the many sciences that we have yet to master. “That the most varied judgments should be formed and expressed on a man of such encyclopædic knowledge was only to be expected. He tried to find a grain of truth even in the false sciences of alchemy, astrology, and horoscopy, which were still in his time much in vogue, nor is it surprising that in the province of astronomy he did not at this early date defend the Copernican System.” (the above two quoted taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia, vol. viii, page 662) Kircher was an accomplished and versatile scholar who applied his intellectual abilities to a myriad of scientific problems. This work is a fascinating compendium of scientific experiments and principles which documents the accomplishments of early modern thinkers of the west.

MOLLOY or O’MAOLMHUAIDH, FRANCIS (Jl. 1660), theologian and grammarian, was a native of the county of Meath, Ireland. The family of which he was a member had extensive landed possessions in the district known as O’Molloys’ Country, and some of them engaged actively in the Irish movements from 1641 to 1652.

Francis Molloy entered the order of St. Francis, became a priest, was appointed professor of theology at St. Isidore’s College, Rome, and acted as agent for the Irish catholics at the papal court in the reign of Charles II. His first published work was entitled ‘Tractatus de Incarnatione ad mentern Scoti,’ 1645. This was followed in 1658 by ‘ Jubilatia genethliaca

in honorem Prosperi Balthasaris Philippi, Hispani principis, carmine,’ and by a Latin treatise on theology in 1666.

A catechism of the doctrines of the catholic church in the Irish language was published by Molloy in 1676 with the title: ‘Lucerna tidelium, seu fasciculus decerptus ab authoribus magis versatis qui tractarunt de doctrina Christiana.’ It was printed at Rome at the press of the Congregation ‘de propaganda fide,’ ( This book is the first book they printed in Irish Type) from which, in 1677, issued another book by Molloy, entitled ‘Grammatica Latino-Hibernica,’ 12mo, the first printed grammar of the Irish language. Edward Lhuyd [q. v.], in his’ Archaeologia Britannica,’published at Oxford in 1707, mentioned that he had seen a manuscript grammar of the Irish language copied at Louvain in 1669 which partially corresponded with that of Molloy. He added that Molloy’s grammar, although the most complete exta’nt in his time, was deficient as to syntax and the variation of the nouns and verbs. The date of Molloy’s death has not been ascertained. In 1626 Propaganda Fide had installed a printing press for the foreign missions and not much later another one was brought to Louvain where books and catechisms were printed for both the local college and the Irish mission.* The problem with the Propaganda printing press was that only books in Latin and Italian were allowed to be printed so it took until 1674 when Francis Molloy asked for permission to print a catechism there in Irish with the explanation “che altra malamente capisce e vacilla assai per mancanza d’intruttore e d’intruttion sana.”**.

Fasciculus temporu[m] omnes antiquo[rum] chronicas strictim complectens felici numine incipit. Prologus.

Venice : Erhard Ratdolt, 8 Sept. 1485 $16,000

Folio (275 x 195 mm). [A]8 [a-g]8 [h]10 75 leaves without signatures or page numbers (9 leaves, 1-66 foliated ), 3 columns in table, 59 lines and foliation, gothic letter, 2 large ornamental initials, 59 woodcuts, one full-page, woodcut diagram. Fifth and last Venetian edition, and fourth Ratdolt edition being the most complete edition of Rolewinck s chronological history of the world. The chronology follows a double time-line, measuring time from both the Creation and the birth of Christ to the death of the Ottoman Sultan Mehmed II commonly known as Mehmed the Conqueror in the year 1481, demanding a

remarkably complex typographical layout. The Fasciculus Temporum (Little bundles of time) was the first book printed on history of the world, it is also one of the earliest and greatest of illustrated incunabula. The illustrations show Noah s Ark, the tower of Babel and contain many town views including Jerusalem, Syracuse, Rome and the Doge s Palace in Venice.

Rolewinck (1425-1502) was a Carthusian monk and prolific author. This book was both the most popular of his numerous writings and the most popular concise world chronicle of its time, being printed 32 times in the 15th century, including translations into French, German and Dutch . Rolewinck’s Fasciculus Temporum was an enormously popular world chronicle, appearing in over 30 incunabular editions in Latin, German, French, and Dutch. A very handsome and typographically-sophisticated volume, with varying columns, circular devices with inset type, and woodcuts throughout.

This work aspires to trace the history of the world from the beginning of time until the year of pulication. The thirty-three woodcuts are crisp and rather charming, and, like those in many fifteenth- and sixteenth-century chronicles, are occasionally reused to illustrate different events and locations. The work is fascinating for the comprehensiveness of its content as well as the beauty of its execution. Of particular interest is a reference to the invention of printing (in 1454) on the verso of Folio 64.

ISTC gives Southern Germany and a date of c.1480-1490, GW tentatively suggests Oberrhein, 1483, and Proctor attributes it to Ludwig Von Renchen in Cologne. The hexameters of each section of the summary form an acrostic of the letters of the alphabet. (alphabetarium) as to insure memorization in the proper sequence, the first word of each verse falls neatly into alphabetical order. [1,194 short mnemonic verses] It uses characteristic couplets (distiches) to express the main content of all chapters of the Old and New Testament. This introduction makes it possible to easily find every quote in the Bible.

A significant record of the essential role of memory in late-medieval piety, One of the earliest printed books on the ars memorativa or mnemotechnic was composed by the German Benedictine monk Petrus of Rosenhaym (Upper Bavaria), written between 1423 and 1426 for Cardinal Giulio Branda di Castiglione. Petrus of Rosenhaym composed numerous treatises, sermons, and verses: the Roseum memoriale is surely his most famous work, enjoying wide popularity during the fifteenth century and first half of the sixteenth century. The mnemotechnic method here employed is extremely complex: the hexameters of each section of the summary form an acrostic of the letters of the alphabet. in. A highly popular and broadly used manual, its copies could be found in almost every European church after the invention of the printing press it was printed in several different locations. This early medieval incunable has not been clearly dated| researchers attribute it to the Upper Rhine region sometime between 1480 and 1483. After studying at the University of Vienna, Petrus de Rosenhaym, along with his friend Nikolaus Seyringer, moved to Subiaco, where he entered the Benedectine order. In 1413, he was appointed prior to the cloister of Rocca di Mondragone near Capua. In 1416, he took part in the Council of Konstanz, and later he was prior in Melk (Lower Austria). After 1423, he was appointed ‘cursor biblicus’ and ‘magister studentium’.

This text marks the dawn of a knowledge based on Scripture and REASON.

The Catholic Encyclopedia sees this as “It represents a phase of decadent Scholasticism, and is a defense of a point of view which is subversive of the fundamental principle of the Scholastic method. The Schoolmen of the thirteenth century, while holding that there can be no contradiction between theology and philosophy, maintain that the two sciences are distinct. Raymond breaks down the distinction by teaching a kind of theosophy, the doctrine, namely that, as man is a connecting link between the natural and the supernatural, it is possible by a study of human nature to arrive at a knowledge even of the most profound mysteries of Faith. The tendency of his thought is similar to that of the rationalistic theosophy of Raymond Lully….Moreover, in Spain scholastics, in combating Islam, borrowed the weapons of their erudite antagonists. Close internal resemblance indicates that Raimund de Sabunde was preceded in method and object by Raymund Lully.” CE

What is new and epoch-making is not the material but the method; not of circumscribing religion within the limits of reason, but, by logical collation, of elevating the same upon the basis of natural truth to a science accessible and convincing to all. He recognizes two sources of (1)knowledge, the book of nature and (2) the Bible. The first is universal and direct, the other serves partly to instruct man the better to understand nature, and partly to reveal new truths, not accessible to the natural understanding, but once revealed by God made apprehensible by natural reason. The book of nature, the contents of which are manifested through sense experience and self-consciousness, can no more be falsified than the Bible and may serve as an exhaustive source of knowledge; but through the fall of man it was rendered obscure, so that it became incapable of guiding to the real wisdom of salvation. However, the Bible as well as illumination from above, not in conflict with nature, enables one to reach the correct explanation and application of natural things and self. Hence, his book of nature as a human supplement to the divine Word is to be the basic knowledge of man, because it subtends the doctrines of Scripture with the immovable foundations of self-knowledge, and therefore plants the revealed truths upon the rational ground of universal human perception, internal and external.

The first part presents analytically the facts of nature in ascending scale to man, the

climax; the second, the harmonization of these with Christian doctrine and their fulfillment in the same. Nature in its. four stages of mere being, mere life, sensible consciousness, and self-consciousness, is crowned by man, who is not only the microcosm but the image of God. Nature points toward a supernatural creator possessing in himself in perfection all properties of the things created out of nothing (the cornerstone of natural theology ever after). Foremost is the ontological argument of Ansehn, followed by the physico-theological, psychological, and moral. He demonstrates the Trinity by analogy from rational grounds, and finally ascribes to man in view of his conscious elevation over things a spontaneous gratitude to God. Love is transformed into the object of its affection; and love to God brings man, and with him the universe estranged by sin, into harmony and unity with him. In this he betrays his mystical antecedents. Proceeding in the second part from this general postulation to its results for positive Christianity, he finds justified by reason all the historic facts of revealed religion, such as the person and works of Christ, as well as the infallibility of the Church and the Scriptures; and the necessity by rational proof of all the sacraments and practices of the Church and of the pope. It should be added that Raimund’s analysis of nature and self-knowledge is not thoroughgoing and his application is far from consistent. He does not transplant himself to the standpoint of the unbeliever, but rather executes an apology on the part of a consciousness already Christian, thus assuming conclusions in advance that should grow only out of his premises. Yet his is a long step from the barren speculation of scholasticism, and marks the dawn of a knowledge based on Scripture and reason.

In its day, and for a long time later, it was a celebrated text. The title translates ‘Natural Theology or the book of [living] creatures, in particular about man and his nature inso far as he is man, and about those things necessary for him to know both himself and God, and about every duty by which man is held and obligated both in respect of God and his neighbour.’ The scope is therefore pretty wide. The main point of Sebond’s work is that that faith can be taught, attained, understood by natural reason and not simply on the basis of blind faith and literal adherence to Scripture, although this last is given full weight as is the teaching of ‘sacrosancta romana ecclesia who is the mother of all faithful christians, mistress of grace and faith and rule of truth…’ (preface on a2ra). The work is divided into 330 ‘tituli’ or chapters beginning with the origins of natural theology and ending with the last judgement, the subjects treated at greatest length being ‘God’ and ‘Man’.

Theologia Naturalis, which circulated widely in manuscript and is known particularly in a manuscript in Toulouse (747) corrected after the author’s own copy, was first published in what is called the ‘third family’ in Deventer in 1484-85 (possibly through the offices of the Brothers of the Common Life; the Bodleian copy is from their house at Doesburg, Holland), and then Lyon ca. 1488 from the printer Balsarin. This Flach printing circulated widely (a copy was at Winchcomb abbey in Gloucestershire within a few years (now in Glasgow) and early in the 16the century Archbishop Warham (Abp. 1503-32 ) gave a copy to All Souls College, Oxford) and is the first dated edition. There were a number of later editions (including another Flach edition of 1501) right up into the 17th century. Indeed the well-known 17th-century philosopher Kenelm Digby ( 1603-1664) had a copy of this edition (now at Durham University Library at Bamburgh Castle). Part of the Theologia (Dialogos de la naturaleza delhombre) was translated into Spanish and printed in Madrid in 1610 and 1616, and a resumé by the Carthusian Petrus Dorlandus (Viola anime per modum dyalogi) was published in Cologne in 1499 (ISTC id00360000 ) and in Toulouse in 1500 I(ISTC id003610000).. The Theologia because of the importance it accorded human reason did not escape the notice of the holy Office and was placed on the Index in the middle of the 16th century. Montaigne indeed discovered this during his visit to Rome.

The most remarkable feature of Grüninger’s Terence is his use of small interchangeable woodcuts that were combined to create the individual scene illustrations for each play. Individual blocks were cut for most of the characters of the six plays, who are identified by name in overhead banners. The blocks were cleverly combined repeatedly in groups of two to five, sometimes together with cuts of trees and buildings, to create the illustrations. Grüninger was attempting to use the woodcuts as repeatable and combinable objects, much in the same manner as movable type» (Christine Ruggere, in Vision of a Collector: The Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection in the Library of Congress)

Terence writes in a simple conversational Latin, pleasant and direct. Due to his clear and entertaining language, Terence’s works were heavily used by monasteries and convents during the Middle Ages and The Renaissance. Scribes often learned Latin through the meticulous copying of Terence’s texts. Priests and nuns often learned to speak Latin through reenactment of Terence’s plays, thereby learning both Latin and Gregorian chants. Although Terence’s plays often dealt with pagan material, the quality of his language promoted the copying and preserving of his text by the church. The preservation of Terence through the church enabled his work to influence much of later Western drama. [Holloway, Julia Bolton (1993).

He became a book collector, and gathered a fine collection of old manuscripts,. On February 21, 1838, New York book auction house Cooley & Bangs began a three day sale during which they offered more than 313 incunabula distributed among 1,302 lots. Many incunables came from the collection of George Kloss and had appeared in the London sale of his books three years before. It is entirely possible that the 1838 sale was the first time in America that so many incunables were offered all at once in a single auction..

343Ja. Gilbert Burnet. 16143-1714 & 343Jb. William Congreve 1670-1729

Two pamphlets on Queen Mary II.

Mary II (30 April 1662 – 28 December 1694) was Queen of England, Scotland, and Ireland, co-reigning with her husband, King William III & II, from 1689 until her death. Popular histories usually refer to their joint reign as that of William and Mary.

Although their father James, Duke of York, was Roman Catholic, Mary and her sister Anne were raised as Anglicans at the wishes of their uncle, King Charles II. He lacked legitimate children, making Mary second in the line of succession as James’s eldest child. She married her Protestant first cousin, William of Orange, in 1677. Charles died in 1685 and James took the throne, making Mary heir presumptive. James’s attempts at rule by decree and the birth of his son, James Francis Edward Stuart, led to his deposition in the Glorious Revolution and the adoption of the English Bill of Rights.

William and Mary became king and queen regnant. She wielded less power than him when he was in England, ceding most of her authority to him, though he heavily relied on her. She did, however, act alone when William was engaged in military campaigns abroad, proving herself to be a powerful, firm, and effective ruler. Her death left William as sole ruler until his own death in 1702, when he was succeeded by Mary’s sister Anne.

During the 1690’s there wasn’t much output from the Irish press concerning foreign affairs, the exception to this is the two pamphlets on the Death of Mary II from small pox. Both lament the passing of a Queen loved by the Irish.

Congreve was educated at Kilkenny College, where he met Jonathan Swift, and at Trinity College in Dublin. He moved to London to study law at the Middle Temple, but preferred literature, drama, and the fashionable life. Congreve used the pseudonym Cleophil, under which he published Incognita: or, Love and Duty reconcil’d in 1692. This early work, written when he was about 17 years of age, gained him recognition among men of letters and an entrance into the literary world. He became a disciple of John Dryden whom he met through gatherings of literary circles held at Will’s Coffeehouse in the Covent Garden district of London. Dryden supported him throughout his life, often composing complimentary introductions for his publications.

Very little is known of William Hamilton one of the more than 15 children of Rev. James Hamilton and his wife, Catherine (Leslie) Hamilton. It is believed he died in 1729, without descendants, possibly a soldier fighting on the Continent during one of the many local wars in what is now Germany He was buried in St. John’s Church, Dublin, and his funeral sermon was preached by the Bishop of Killaloe (Edward Wetehall), who uses these remarkable words in his preface to the sermon: ‘I am truly of opinion that in the best age of the church, had he lived therein, he would have passed for a Saint.’ His life was written by the Archdeacon of Armagh (William Hamilton), who fully bears out this encomium. Archdeacon Hamilton has wisely fortified himself by attaching to his ‘Life’ letters from several bishops who fully endorse all that he has written, and there does not appear to be a hint from any other source which would lead us to doubt the truthfulness of the account. Bonnell’s piety was of the strictly church of England type, though he was tolerant of those who differed from him. During; the greater part of his life he attended church twice every day, and made a point of communicating every Lord’s day. He was a careful observer of all the festivals and fasts of the church, and made it a rule to repeat on his knees every Friday the fifty-first Psalm. He took a deep interest both in the ‘religious societies’ and the ‘societies for the reformation of manners,’ which form so interesting a feature in the church history of his day. Of the former, which flourished greatly at Dublin, we are told that ‘he pleaded their cause, wrote in their defence, and was one of their most diligent and prudent directors;’ of the latter ‘he was a zealous promoter, was always present at their meetings, and contributed liberally to their expenses.’ He gave one-eighth of his income to the poor, and his probity was so highly esteemed that the fortunes of many orphans were committed to his care. Bonnell was a man of great and varied accomplishments. ‘He understood French perfectly, and had made great progress in Hebrew, while in philosophy and oratory he exceeded most of his contemporaries in the university, and he applied himself with success to mathematics and music.’ Divinity was, however, of course his favourite study. He was a great reader of the early fathers, and translated some parts of Synesius into English. He also reformed and improved for his own use a harmony of the Gospels. His favourite writers were Richard Hooker and Thomas à Kempis. Many of his ‘Meditations’ (a vast number of which, on a great variety of subjects, are still extant) remind one slightly of the latter author.

344J. Joseph Trapp 1679-1747

A sermon preach’d at Christ-Church, Dublin, before their excellencies the Lords Justices of Ireland; on Tuesday May the 29th. Dublin

Dublin: Printed by A.R. [i.e., Aaron Rhames] for J. Hyde, 1711.

Quarto 7 ½ X 6 inches. A2, B-D4. Disbound.

In January 1711 Sir Constantine Phipps, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland. Whose term of office was marked by bitter political faction-fighting and he faced repeated calls for his removal. Trapp was taken on as as his chaplain, and Trapp wrote partisan political pieces, incurring scorn from Swift. He married in 1712 a daughter of Alderman White of St. Mary’s, Oxford, and resigned as a Fellow of Wadham. That year he was chaplain to Henry St John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke, a place Swift claimed he had arranged. On 1 April 1713 Swift would not dine with Bolingbroke because he was expected to ‘look over a dull poem’ of Trapp’s; afterwards he did correct the poem, printed anonymously at Dublin, as Peace, a Poem. It was set to music by William Croft.

After reading this sermon it is obvious that Trapp missed his calling as a Puritan Hell and Dmanation Presacher. “ Can we be called the City of Righteousness, when all sorts of Debauchery and Profaneness have, like the Deluge, overspread these Nation? When there are so many, whoeven Glory in their Shame, make a Science of Leudeness, and are not only Workers, but Professors of Iniquity?” Fun reading indeed.

As with many 17th century tracts the title pretty much says it all. But to put it in perspective.

The convocation of the English Church in 1711 decided that by the opportunity by Royal License and permission to frame their canons and declarations which could eventual become law. It was true that the Irish Church was Weak not altogether by its own fault, If the Church of England was strong. The English Church had had the opportunity of expressing, whatever value it might have, its concurrence with that measure. The Irish Church appealed to them for the same permission. There was in Ireland as in England a Convocation, which had been in abeyance for many years as that of England had been for about the same period. Called by Royal writ—it dated as far back as Parliamentary Government in Ireland; that from 1625 to 1711 it was repeatedly so summoned; that at its last period of meeting, in 1711, it passed five canons, which, having received the assent of Her Majesty Queen Anne, became part and continued part of the ecclesiastical law of Ireland.

Dublin : printed by Isaac Jackson, in Meath-Street, [1739]. $ 3,800

Octavo 7 3/4 x 5 inches First and only English edition. Bound in Original sheep, with a quite primitive repair to the front board.

Fenélon’s text appears to consist largely of extracts from ’Les oeuvres spirituelles’. The preface, account of Jeanne Marie Guyon etc. is compiled by Josiah Martin. The text of the letters, and poems, is in French and English. This is an Astonishing collection of letters and poems.

“MARTIN, JOSIAH (1683–1747), quaker, was born near London in 1683. He became a good classical scholar, and is spoken of by Gough, the translator of Madame Guyon’s Life, 1772, as a man whose memory is esteemed for ‘learning, humility, and fervent piety.’ He died unmarried, 18 Dec. 1747, in the parish of St. Andrew’s, Holborn, and was buried in the Friends’ burial-ground, Bunhill Fields. He left the proceeds of his library of four thousand volumes to be divided among nephews and nieces. Joseph Besse [q. v.] was his executor.

Martin’s name is best known in connection with ‘A Letter from one of the People called Quakers to Francis de Voltaire, occasioned by his Remarks on that People in his Letters concerning the English Nation,’ London, 1741. It was twice reprinted, London and Dublin, and translated into French. It is a temperate and scholarly treatise, and was in much favour at the time.

Of his other works the chief are: 1. ‘A Vindication of Women’s Preaching, as well from Holy Scripture and Antient Writings as from the Paraphrase and Notes of the Judicious John Locke, wherein the Observations of B[enjamin] C[oole] on the said Paraphrase . . . and the Arguments in his Book entitled “Reflections,” &c, are fullv considered,’ London, 1717. 2. ‘The Great Case of Tithes truly stated … by Anthony Pearson [q. v.] . . . to which is added a Defence of some other Principles held by the People call’d Quakers . . .,’ London, 1730. 3. ‘A Letter concerning the Origin, Reason, and Foundation of the Law of Tithes in England,’ 1732. He also edited, with an ‘Apologetic Preface,’ comprising more than half the book, and containing many additional letters from Fénelon and Madame Guyon, ‘The Archbishop of Cambray’s Dissertation on Pure Love, with an Account of the Life and Writings of the Lady for whose sake he was banish’d from Court,’ London, 1735.

C. F. S.

Fénelon was nominated in February, 1696, Fénelon was consecrated in August of the same year by Bossuet in the chapel of Saint-Cyr. The future of the young prelate looked brilliant, when he fell into deep disgrace.

The cause of Fénelon’s trouble was his connection with Madame Guyon, whom he had met in the society of his friends, the Beauvilliers and the Chevreuses. She was a native of Orléans, which she left when about twenty-eight years old, a widowed mother of three children, to carry on a sort of apostolate of mysticism, under the direction of Père Lacombe, a Barnabite. After many journeys to Geneva, and through Provence and Italy, she set forth her ideas in two works, “Le moyen court et facile de faire oraison” and “Les torrents spirituels”. In exaggerated language characteristic of her visionary mind, she presented a system too evidently founded on the Quietism of Molinos, that had just been condemned by Innocent XI in 1687. There were, however, great divergencies between the two systems. Whereas Molinos made man’s earthly perfection consist in a state of uninterrupted contemplation and love, which would dispense the soul from all active virtue and reduce it to absolute inaction, Madame Guyon rejected with horror the dangerous conclusions of Molinos as to the cessation of the necessity of offering positive resistance to temptation. Indeed, in all her relations with Père Lacombe, as well as with Fénelon, her virtuous life was never called in doubt. Soon after her arrival in Paris she became acquainted with many pious persons of the court and in the city, among them Madame de Maintenon and the Ducs de Beauvilliers and Chevreuse, who introduced her to Fénelon. In turn, he was attracted by her piety, her lofty spirituality, the charm of her personality, and of her books. It was not long, however, before the Bishop of Chartres, in whose diocese Saint-Cyr was, began to unsettle the mind of Madame de Maintenon by questioning the orthodoxy of Madame Guyon’s theories. The latter, thereupon, begged to have her works submitted to an ecclesiastical commission composed of Bossuet, de Noailles, who was then Bishop of Châlons, later Archbishop of Paris, and M. Tronson; superior of-Saint-Sulpice. After an examination which lasted six months, the commission delivered its verdict in thirty-four articles known as the “Articles d’ Issy”, from the place near Paris where the commission sat. These articles, which were signed by Fénelon and the Bishop of Chartres, also by the members of the commission, condemned very briefly Madame Guyon’s ideas, and gave a short exposition of the Catholic teaching on prayer. Madame Guyon submitted to the condemnation, but her teaching spread in England, and Protestants, who have had her books reprinted have always expressed sympathy with her views. Cowper translated some of her hymns into English verse; and her autobiography was translated into English by Thomas Digby (London, 1805) and Thomas Upam (New York, 1848). Her books have been long forgotten in France.

Jeanne Marie Guyon

b. 1648, Montargis, France; d. 1717, Blois, France

A Christian mystic and prolific writer, Jeanne-Marie Guyon advocated a form of spirituality that led to conflict with authorities and incarceration. She was raised in a convent, then married off to a wealthy older man at the age of sixteen. When her husband died in 1676, she embarked on an evangelical mission to convert Protestants to her brand of spirituality, a mild form of quietism, which propounded the notion that through complete passivity (quiet) of the soul, one could become an agent of the divine. Guyon traveled to Geneva, Turin, and Grenoble with her mentor, Friar François Lacombe, at the same time producing several manuscripts: Les torrents spirituels (Spiritual Torrents); an 8,000-page commentary on the Bible; and her most important work, the Moyen court et très facile de faire oraison (The Short and Very Easy Method of Prayer, 1685). Her activities aroused suspicion; she was arrested in 1688 and committed to the convent of the Visitation in Paris, where she began writing an autobiography. Released within a few months, she continued proselytizing, meanwhile attracting several male disciples. In 1695, the Catholic church declared quietism heretical, and Guyon was locked up in the Bastille until 1703. Upon her release, she retired to her son’s estate in Blois. Her writings were published in forty-five volumes from 1712 to 1720.

Her writings began to be published in Holland in 1704, and brought her new admirers. Englishmen and Germans–among them Wettstein and Lord Forbes–visited her at Blois. Through them Madame Guyon’s doctrines became known among Protestants and in that soil took vigorous root. But she did not live to see this unlooked-for diffusion of her writings. She passed away at Blois, at the age of sixty-eight, protesting in her will that she died submissive to the Catholic Church, from which she had never had any intention of separating herself. Her doctrines, like her life, have nevertheless given rise to the widest divergences of opinion. Her published works (the “Moyen court” and the “Règles des assocées à l’Enfance de Jésus”) having been placed on the Index in 1688, and Fénelon’s “Maximes des saints” branded with the condemnation of both the pope and the bishops of France, the Church has thus plainly reprobated Madame Guyon’s doctrines, a reprobation which the extravagance of her language would in itself sufficiently justify. Her strange conduct brought upon her severe censures, in which she could see only manifestations of spite. Evidently, she too often fell short of due reserve and prudence; but after all that can be said in this sense, it must be acknowledged that her morality appears to have given no grounds for serious reproach. Bossuet, who was never indulgent in her regard, could say before the full assembly of the French clergy: “As to the abominations which have been held to be the result of her principles, there was never any question of the horror she testified for them.” It is remarkable, too, that her disciples at the Court of Louis XIV were always persons of great piety and of exemplary life.

On the other hand, Madame Guyon’s warmest partisans after her death were to be found among the Protestants. It was a Dutch Protestant, the pastor Poiret, who began the publication of her works; a Vaudois pietist pastor, Duthoit-Mambrini, continued it. Her “Life” was translated into English and German, and her ideas, long since forgotten in France, have for generations been in favour in Germany, Switzerland, England, and among Methodists in America. ”
