This is elegantly bound in brown brocade cloth, with two genuine ivory scroll ends. . The reprint date is not cited, however due to the extravagant use of ivory ends, we believe this to have been executed around 1920-1930's when ivory was still used as a form of exultation and respect for the Emperor and his donated items. . This kind of item was printed by the temple Buddhist monks by an unknown donor. It was issued in a small and very discreet edition and given to donors to the temple. This kind of special item was never offered for sale, but was a gift to faithful donors and patrons of the temple. . *** NINNA-JI TEMPLE is the head temple of the Omuro school of the Shingon Sect of Buddhism. . Located in western Kyoto, it was first founded in A.D. 888 by Emperor Uda, and was later reconstructed in the 17th century. . It is part of the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto, a UNESCO World Heritage Site . Ninna-ji was founded in the early Heian period. In 886, Emperor Koko ordered the construction of the Nishiyama Goganji Temple to bless the nation and propagate Buddhist teachings, but he did not live to see its completion. Emperor Uda saw the construction to its completion in 888[3] and named it "Ninna" after the regional year of the late Emperor Koko's reign. From 888 to 1869 it was traditional for reigning Emperors to send a son to the temple to take over as head priest when a vacancy arose. . After retiring from his throne, Emperor Uda became the first Monzeki, or aristocratic priest, of Ninna-ji. From then on until the end of the Edo period, the temple saw a succession of head priests of imperial lineage. . In 1467, the temple was destroyed by fire and fighting in the Onin War. It was rebuilt roughly 150 year later, thanks to the eldest son of Emperor Go-Yozei, Kakushin Hosshinno, who enlisted the help of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun of the Tokugawa Shogunate. The resurrection coincided with the rebuilding of the Imperial Palace in Kyoto and thus received imperial funding. . The tradition of having aristocratic or persons of imperial lineage serve as chief of the temple ended with the 30th Monzeki, Junnin Hosshinno in the late Edo period. . Most of the surviving buildings date from the 17th century, and include a five-story pagoda and an orchard of late blooming dwarf cherry trees called the Omuro cherry trees that would grow to around 2-3 meters in height. The temple itself features some beautifully painted screen walls, and a beautiful walled garden.

Small chip to upper back corner of DJ. ; The Transformation of the Roman World, 5; 1.1 x 9.5 x 6.3 Inches; 288 pages; The End of Antiquity saw an increase in the divide between East and West. This crucial development in the history of the Late and Post-Roman World was addressed in a series of linked papers delivered at the first plenary conference of the European Science Foundation's scientific programme on the Transformation of the Roman World, held in 1995. A group of leading scholars (Beat Brenk, Peter Brown, Averil Cameron, Christian Hannick, N. Oikonomedes, Lennard Ryden) addressed questions of social, cultural, artistic and linguistic change, concentrating largely on developments within the East, while changes in the West were explored in a series of responses (from Michel Banniard, Mayke de Jong, Alain Dierkens, Niels Hannestad, Walter Pohl, Ian Wood). In addition, the history of Late Roman and Visigothic Merida, the setting for the conference, was set out by Javier Arce. Together these papers constitute a major exploration of the social and cultural changes in East and West in the period of the Transformation of the Roman World. To this collection are added two papers, by Paolo Delogu and Thomas F. X. Noble, delivered in the course of the third and final plenary congress of the programme, held in Isernia in 1997, assessing the achievement of the whole project at the end of five years of conferences and workshops. ., Brill Academic Publishers, 1999, 4.5<
