Parlour Room Divination: The Birthday Oracle (1883) PRICE $ 215 PURCHASE / MORE INFO View Member Profile The Birthday Oracle, or Whom Shall I Marry: Guess at the Character or Appearance of Your Future Husband or Wife . Edinburgh: William P. Nimmo, 1883. (105 x 85 mm) pp. 248, [8]. Machline binding with photo of Old Aberdeen Cathedral. Leather spine with gilt panels. Floral endpapers and decorative edges. Full gilt foredges. Ornamental border printed on all pages. Names written adjacent to birthdays, with dates ranging from 1880s to 1950s (several dates pre-date book’s publication indicating birth year of person rather than date inscribed). Includes handwritten index of names (19th c.). This Mauchline-wear binding relic of the Victorian era shows continued usage from the 1880s to the 1950s— following the hopes of several (possibly related?) families through height of the Spiritualist movement, through the First and Second World Wars into Britain’s Post-War period. The Birthday Oracle falls into the Victorian middle class fervour for accessing knowledge from beyond the veil. Though true Spiritualists relied more on seances, Ouija boards, and other means of contacting the Beyond, this little book pairs birthdays with couplets of poetry for men and women to reveal traits of their future partners. Throughout the pages, several family names and birthdays appear. Warr and Slalin(?) are written in a nineteenth century hand and the Rabbitts appear in the 1950s. For near a century, this book was an active part in hopeful contemplation about what the future could hold— now it has the opportunity to be an active part in contemplating what the past must have looked like in these protean moments in Britain.

STC 17300, ESTC S114449 John Marbeck (or Merbecke) was a musician at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle for over 50 years. In addition to his many musical accomplishments, Marbeck had a keen interest in theology. He was unable to afford a printed English Bible and thus created a manuscript copy of his own by hand. He also began work on a Biblical concordance during a time when King Henry had just passed The Act of Six Articles , reasserting traditional Catholic doctrine. His house was searched, books and manuscripts were found, and his nearly completed work of the concordance was taken and now placed his very life in jeopardy. He was sentenced to death in 1543 but received a royal pardon, enabling him to return to St. George chapel and begin his work anew. He completed the first concordance of the whole Bible in 1550, though this printed version is somewhat abbreviated to conserve paper. Provenance: The signature of William Kythe appears on the final leaf. This is very likely William Kethe – a Marian exile, scholar who translated the Geneva Bible, and musician who contributed with influential verse translations of the Psalms.

Many from private collections, and many rescued from library book sales. It all started around 1990 with FUNGUS THE BOGEYMAN, really, the day we went to check it out and the copy had been stolen. We discovered that books could be found and purchased worldwide and the rest is history. Here at The M.A.D. House Artists we have more books NOT listed than listed, but we are working on reversing that. Feel free to ask. We are more than happy to search the shelves. Our collection started with our own books, parents' books, grandparents' books and has grown for the past thirty years into an online book store. It is our conviction that there are simply no books worth sending to the recycling, so our offerings range widely from the rare and perfect collectable volume to the acceptable well-read copy, in the hope that the words printed will not be lost. Dennis enjoys the shopping. Candace does most everything else. We are interested in everything, and our collection reflects the description given us by our son, The Grand Lake Artistic Chaos Foundation. 1/1 1/1 1/1 1/1 Featured Items Terms of Sale Paypal preferrred.
