This work was written by order of the Pope for the use of the Greeks living at that time in Calabria and Sicily, and who, although presumed to be Roman Catholics, even still retain many of their peculiar habits, the most curious of all being the marriage of the priests! 2214 BREVIARIUM Romanum, Deutsch mit Kalendar, numerous elegant wood engravings, BLACK LETTER, with the rubrics in red, 4to. a good copy, without the first (a blank) leaf, newly bound in morocco, old style, gilt edges, £10.

Venedig, durch Gregorium de Gregoriis, 1518 This is perhaps one of the rarest books in existence, of which we believe no copy has ever been submitted to auction in this country. The version was printed at the expense of the Count and Countess of Frangepane. who at the time were, and had been for 53 months as prisoners of war, confined in the Gaol called Dorasel (Torcello, near Venice), and is supposed to have been entirely distributed by them in presents. In the first Woodcut are full length portraits of the Count and his Countess. The volume contains nearly 650 leaves, and its state of preservation is perfect in every respect. This is the only German book of any importance printed at Venice at that early period. Libri Catalogue.

This is one of the authentic sources that illustrate the early history of the Spanish government in America, which only rarely occur for sale and cannot be too carefully preserved. This MS. shews more particularly the ecclesiastical government; its power at this time (1598) in temporal affairs is shewn by the 211 decrees in the "Orden de castigar los Yndios." It is written by Ginez de Alarcon, notario secretario at CIUDAD DE LOS REYES (Peru), 1604. 2229 APOCALYPSIS.

A Sebastopol relic taken by one of Her Majesty's officers from a private house there. The old worm-eaten frame in which it was hung, crumbled to dust the moment it was touched.
