Major George Trimble – 11th West Virginia Infantry (US)

by Linda Cunningham Fluharty

$ 30

Few things in life generate more anguish, anger and frustration than being unjustly accused of wrongdoing. But, according to Major George C. Trimble of the Eleventh West Virginia Infantry, that’s what happened to him.

Trimble, previously a captain in the First West Virginia Infantry, had the potential to be a great leader in the Civil War. Instead, he was “dismissed the service,” along with his superior, Colonel John Castelli Rathbone, for cowardly conduct in surrendering their command at Spencer Court House, Roane County, (West) Virginia on September 2, 1862.

Wright, Elaine. Look of the Book : Manuscript Production in Shiraz, 1303-1452.

by Wright, Elaine.

$ 45.00

“Book assesses the role of the city of Shiraz in Iranian book production between the early fourteenth and mid-fifteenth centuries. It is the first detailed analysis of all aspects of the book – illumination, codicology, illustration, calligraphy, and binding – during this significant era when the look of the book was transformed. Four periods of change are identified: the years following 1340 until the end of Injuid rule in Shiraz; the later 1350s and the 1360s, during Muzaffarid rule; the years from 1409 to 1415, when the Timurid prince Iskandar Sultan was governor of Shiraz; and the decade (1435-45) following the death of Ibrahim Sultan, Iskandar’s cousin and successor as governor. Although the focus is Shiraz, the author’s comparative and chronological approach to the material means production elsewhere in Iran is also considered, while the results of the study increase our understanding of the history and development of the arts of the book not only in Shiraz, or even Iran as whole, but also in other centers of the Islamic world that followed the Iranian model. Highlights of this book, which is heavily illustrated with exquisite illuminated manuscript pages, are its examination of illumination, an overlooked area of book production; the codicological aspects of the manuscripts, including paper and text layout; and the development of nasta’liq script. “
