25.01.2022 Anything special about these, collectable ?

14.01.2022 Research required on these volumes , I did find a Keith Hall in Scotland near city Inverurie. I’m yet to see a set with anything like the metal work on these volumes. I think they are from a private library that was part of Keith Hall back around mid 1800s. Stunning contrast between crimson velvet and brass work .

13.01.2022 1659, a scholars hand corrections noted throughout. Great engraving shows people being thrown off building , being executed, historical descriptions .

08.01.2022 Correct me if I am wrong, but I don’t recall the JAWS Deluxe Boxed Set flying off the shelves. Or perhaps I’m mistaken and it sold like hot cakes my madcap McFarlane figure collecting memories blurring together? Either way, this diorama respects a very premium price on the secondary market today; a mint-in-box JAWS Boxed Set setting ya back at least $500. This one has the original price tag , great investment if only we could have predicted it.

07.01.2022 THE LIFE OF CHRIST 1693 The Essay on Heroic Poetry, serving as Preface to The Life of Our Blessed Lord and Saviour, reveals something of its author's erudition. Among the critics, he was familiar with Aristotle, Horace, Longinus, Dionysius of Halicarnassus, Heinsius, Bochart, Balzac, Rapin, Le Bossu, and Boileau. But this barely hints at the extent of his learning. In the notes on the poem itself the author displays an interest in classical scholarship, Biblical commentary, ...ecclesiastical history, scientific inquiry, linguistics and philology, British antiquities, and research into the history, customs, architecture, and geography of the Holy Land; The volume has 60 copper prints which are incredible, for example each Saint is shown holding the instrument of his own death . In one the Saint is holding a fleecing knife and in the top of the engraving you can see he was killed by his flesh being cut from his body . Another Saint holds a large saw and he met his end by being cut in half .
