11481. Crusades. *A decorated manuscript charter of major historical interest, in which a hunchback Knight witnesses pledge of four brothers to join the Second Crusade to Jerusalem in 1147! France, datable circa, and believed, 1147. Medieval, Mediaeval, Manuscript, Document, Charter, Crusades, Crusader, Second Crusade, 2nd Crusade, Europe, European, European History, Western Europe, France, Royalty, King Louis VII, Louis the Young, Charlemagne, Church, St. Mary, Rozoy-le-Jeune, Courtenay, Diocese of Sens, Milly, Jerusalem, Knight, Hunchback. 180 x 230 mm (approximately 7 x 9 in.), vellum, 23 lines in a clear Romanesque hand, in Latin. Penned entirely on one side, with later dockets on verso. Elaborate initial in ink at beginning. Recording the benefactions to the Abbey of Rozoy-le-Jeune, near Courtenay in the Diocese of Sens, by the four sons of the noblewoman Letuisa. Records how the lady, inspired by religious fervor, surrendered her fortune to the Church and urged her children to do so as well. The children agreed, offering a portion of their harvests; the document further notes that the sons committed themselves to a crusade to Jerusalem. The document records how Letuisa, a noble matron from Milly, inspired by divine command, gave up her wealth and sought a way in which she might better serve God. She sought out in poverty the communities of religious women and chose the church of St. Mary at Rozoy, where she was received into the community of holy virgins who served God there. Seriously ill with fever she called together her sons and daughters, asking them to make donations to the church, to which they generously agreed. The gifts of three (or four?) of her sons, portions of the harvest from their lands, are spelled out, and were praised by the four daughters and three further sons (all parties are named); there appeared as witnesses several officials of the church, the crusader Arnulfus (Arnulfus ierosolomitanus) and the hunchback knight Stephanus (miles gibosus). The charter closes, "This gift was made in Jerusalem for the sake of the Lord." All factors point to this being at the time of the ill-fated and bloody Second Crusade, 1147. It is possible that the document lacks a seal, but it is believed that it may never have had one, as it is styled in a note by the scribe at the end "Hec Ö carta Letuydis Milliacensis" (This is a document of Letuisa of Milly), who may not have had a seal. It comes from the papers of Rozoy. In view of the widespread washing and scouring of manuscripts during the Dark and Middle Ages to reuse the precious vellum, the cutting and use of pieces in bookbinding, and destruction in centuries of warfare, such choice condition as this is the exception. Western European manuscripts before 1200 are scarce, and especially when so closely datable. In all fairness to the body of medieval manuscripts which remain accessible to the collector, the vast majority are leaves from books, often defective, or documents dealing with routine matters. By virtue of its content, this, however, is one of the finest items in any field of endeavor which we offer at this time. From the reign of King Louis VII (1120-1180), "Louis the Young," who conquered Charlemagne, himself joined Second Crusade, and later surrendered vast tracts of his land to Henry II of England. According to American Book Prices Current, only one other item from the reign of Louis VII has reached the market since 1986, the earliest year searched. With full transcription and translation (scan not available). About fine condition. 9500.00

11483. Eugene F. Wolters, Editor. Fire, Casualty & Surety Bulletins - Companies, Coverages. The National Underwriter Company. Cincinnati: Revisions to Feb., 1978. Reference, Insurance, Casualty, Fire, Surety, Personal, Auto, Automobile, Accident, Sickness, Specialty, Claims, Mass Merchandising, Lloyd's of London. A humongous reference work for the insurance trade, comprising five sections: Packages, Packages - Personal, Auto Plans, Specialty Lines, Large Lines, Claims and Mass Merchandising, each with its own individual index. 8-1/2 x 11, eccentrically paginated but 2" thick and many hundreds of pp., black and white text, orange tabs, in original five-ring heavy duty binder decorated in green. A compendium of insurance coverages and information of mind-boggling depth and breadth, describing exceptions, features and peculiarities of virtually every American insurance company writing in these businesses at the time. The Specialty Lines section is especially fascinating, with a plethora of odd and unusual coverages detailed, including: Banker's Kidnap-Ransom Cover(age), Data Processors' Errors and Omissions, "Ripping and Tearing," Yacht Policies, and much more, including Lloyd's of London coverages. Specimen applications and policies are included. (The Data Processors' policy asks about such detail as, "Are computers equipped with vacuum tubes?," but not about four-digit year programming!) Fascinating reference for the insurance historian or lawyer; undoubtedly many of the insurers are defunct. Clean, unused condition. Weighs over 6 pounds. 70.00

11484. American Bank Note Company. Antique tool-steel number stamping dies, from American Bank Note Co.

The machine shop from which these came was an inner sanctum, where finishing touches were put to dies, parts, and machinery used Numismatics, Philately, Scripophily, Currency, Money, Paper Money, Stamps, Stocks, Bonds, Financial, Engraving, Printing, Intaglio, Press, Die, Tool, Machinery, Antique, American Bank Note Company, Bronx, New York, Paul Revere to produce countless billions of dollars worth of instrumentalities.

Comprising 0, 2 (two pieces), 3, 4, 5 (three), and 8 (two). Wear, else very good and usable if desired. With letter of provenance. See our other A.B.N. listings. 59.00

(Paul Revere was one of their early engravers.) The largest and most prestigious of all banknote companies, A.B.N.'s printed items are the most collected, having absorbed most of the other banknote and financial printers since 1810 to present. The artifacts we offer are perhaps the he ultra-high-security production plant of their long-defunct Bronx, New York operation. The machine shop from which these came was an inner sanctum, where finishing touches were put to dies, parts, and machinery used to produce countless billions of dollars worth of instrumentalities. These items were used, among other things, in the building of intaglio and other machinery which, for reasons of both secrecy and custom specifications, were built by A.B.N. themselves. So heavily guarded, in fact, was the fortress-like plant, that the number of guards, both uniformed and plainclothes, nearly outnumbered the employees. See our other A.B.N. listings. In all, 11 items this lot, 145.00
