3 Bde. XLVII, 336 SS. (4), 474 SS. (4), 432, (40) SS. Mit einem gefalteten Kupferstich (Azteken-Zeichnungen). Zeitgenössische Lederbände mit reicher Rückenvergoldung und jeweils zwei farbigen Rückenschildern. Marmorvorsätze. Gr.-8vo (140 x 216 mm). Hübsch gebundenes Exemplar aus dem Besitz des Trierer Geologen und Historikers Johann Steininger (1794-1874), der nach dem Studium in Paris von 1815-1857 am Gymnasium in Trier Naturwissenschaften unterrichtete. Sein prominentester Schüler war Karl Marx (vgl. G. Groß, in: Trierer Biogr. Lex., hg. v. Heinz Monz, Trier 2000, S. 450), weswegen das Werk auch als mögliche Quelle zu Marx' Amerika-Unterricht gelten kann. Auch sonst kommt Steininger als früher Einfluss auf Marx in Frage: Ihm wurde vorgeworfen, dass er seit Beginn seiner Lehrtätigkeit in Trier am Christentum rüttele, "wodurch mancher Jüngling den Glauben verliert"; das Provinzialschulkollegium bezweifelte am 25. Januar 1834 seine "vaterländische Gesinnnung". - Ecken etwas bestoßen, Kapitale teils lädiert. Alle Bände mit Exlibris "Johannis Steininger" am Titel. Gegen Ende oder zu Anfang sporfleckig, die Titelblätter mit Stempelauswaschung und meist kl. Papierläsuren. …

Store description
We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare Österreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V. (German association of antiquarian booksellers), we are bound by these organizations' code of ethics. A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.…
