be it an object, a building, a city - so that the adaptation of form to function can lead to singularly differentiated results. i will give you a brazilian historical example. in the 18th century\u0085'') costa continues with historical references and examples, saying `dans la premiere moitié du siècle dominait encore l´esprit d´ostentation et d´opulence a la louis xiv, - courbes et contre-courbes lourdes, de l´or, du bleu foncé, du rouge et du noir; dans la seconde période c´était déja l´élégance et la grace de l´esprit louis xv qui prévalait: courbes et contre-courbes acquirent de la souplesse, l´emploi de l´or se fit moins ostensif, le bleu devint clair, le rouge rose, le blanc et le gris remplacerent le noir. cela montre que la relation forme-fonction doit etre envisagée en tenant compte de l´intention qui commande le processus d´intégration formelle´ (''in the first half of the century, the spirit of ostentation and opulence in the louis xiv style still dominated - heavy curves and counter-curves, gold, dark blue, red and black; in the second period it was already the elegance and the grace of the louis xv spirit which prevailed: curves and counter-curves acquired suppleness, the use of gold became less ostensive, the blue became clear, pink instead of red, white and grey replaced black. this shows that the form-function relationship must be considered taking into account the intention that drives the process of formal integration'') lucio costa further refers to today´s date concepts and to le corbusier, stating in part `l´idéal de clareté et de pureté formelle géométrique de la renaissance a refoulé en europe la conception formelle dynamique (gothique). aujourd´hui, grace a la technologie moderne qui permet des structures où la tension prédomine, on observe, un peu partout, le retour au dynamisme formel. il y a meme les prétentieux de l´art dit prospectif qui prétendent ensevelir, des maintenant, avec son corps, l´oeuvre de le corbusier. ils oublient sa belle structure (gothique) du toit suspendu de la grande salle du palais des soviets, le pavillon improvisé de ''l´esprit nouveau'' (1937) et le pavillon philips de bruxelles. le corbusier avait l´esprit ouvert a tous les vents. dans sa premiere phase de conception statique prévalait, avec le contrepoint dynamique de sa peinture; apres ronchamp l´intégration des deux concepts s´établit. l´intégration qui est le fondement meme de l´art des temps nouveaux´ (''the renaissance ideal of clarity and geometric formal purity drove dynamic formal design (gothic) back to europe. today, thanks to modern technology which allows structures where tension predominates, we can observe, almost everywhere, a return to formal dynamism. there are even the pretentious of the so-called prospective art who claim to bury, from now on, with his body, the work of le corbusier. they forget his beautiful structure (gothic) of the suspended roof of the great hall of the palace of the soviets, the improvised pavilion of ''l´esprit nouveau'' (1937) and the philips pavilion in brussels. le corbusier was open to all new visions. in his first phase of static design prevailed, the dynamic counterpoint of his painting; after ronchamp the integration of the two concepts was established. integration which is the foundation itself of the art of the new times'') further again costa adds his conclusions on his function and form theory. vg anthony kraft (1928-1991) swiss journalist and editor of architecture works."},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"510","title":{"es":"costa lucio: (1902-1998) brazilian architect. a renowned urban planner, best known for his plan of b..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/36495/lot/127975/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":2000,"soldPrice":2700,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:27:04.725Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac2,000 -

for the chance of breaking your ladies with a laugh, i will give them matter for one, though it be at my own expense. at that dinner of which i partook at your house, there were, i suppose, not so few as twenty in company, all of the masculine gender - all of them compleatly unknown to me. as we marched in procession from the drawing room to the dining room, i observed madame de lessert's hand stuck by her side, waiting for some other to take hold of it. it had never entered into my conception that the honour could be designed for any such insignificant person as myself: observing, however that the hand still remained single, i perceived my mistake: but it was then too late to attempt repairing it, without encreasing, instead of obliterating, the ridicule. if the lady be still giving the family the benefit of those virtues, of which i heard so much, and to which the evidences were so visible in her countenance, lay me at her feet. i beg of you, communicate to her this my confession, and, if she gives me absolution, blaquierre, without trouble to your pen, might be the bearer of it´. some extremely light, very minor age wear, vg  jules paul benjamin delessert ( 1773-1847) french banker & naturalist. john blaquiere (1732-1812) 1st baron de blaquiere. british soldier, diplomat and politician of french descent. chief secretary for ireland 1772-76. blaquiere fathered three daughters and four sons, including edward blaquiere, the subject of the present letter. jeremy bentham is considered as the founder of the modern utilitarianism."},"estimateMax":1500,"lotNumber":"518","title":{"es":"bentham jeremy: (1748-1832) english philosopher, jurist and social reformer. a fine, long l.s., jere..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/36495/lot/127983/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":1200,"soldPrice":1100,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:27:06.275Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac1,200 - \u20ac1,500","currency":"EUR","id":127983,"estimateMin":1200},{"startPrice":100,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127984/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127984/002/002.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-09-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"valery paul: (1871-1945) french poet and philosopher. a.l.s., p. valery, to the verso of a postcard, 30th december 1925, to mr. boucsin, in french. valery states `responding to your today´s date letter, i think that i can say that the unsigned telegram should have come from by mr. pigot and refer to the capitole copy he is working on. it is at least the most likely hypothesis´. vg"},"estimateMax":120,"lotNumber":"519","title":{"es":"valery paul: (1871-1945) french poet and philosopher. a.l.s., p. valery, to the verso of a postcard,..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/36495/lot/127984/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":100,"soldPrice":100,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:27:06.276Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac100 - \u20ac120","currency":"EUR","id":127984,"estimateMin":100},{"startPrice":500,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127985/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127985/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/127985/003/003.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-09-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"marcel gabriel: (1889-1973) french philosopher, playwright and christian existentialist. widely regarded as the first french existentialist, marcel dissociated himself from jean-paul sartre, preferring to his own thought as ''philosophy of existence''. rare and very interesting t.l.s., gabriel marcel, four pages, 4to, n.p.

thence all the flags of all nations were suspended from a line which stretched past the green house to the limit of our ground. against each of the two trees on the mound half-way down to our gate stands a knight in complete armour. piles of still bundled flags clutter up the ombra (to be put up) also gaudy shields of various shapes (arms of this & other countries); also some huge glittering arches & things, done in gold & silver paper, containing mottoes in big letters. i broke mr. beal's heart by persistently & inflexibly annulling & forbidding the biggest & gorgeousest of the arches -

time ever a magnetic-electric device, suitable to generate a continuous electric induced power from a permanent mechanic power\u0085this young man was antonio pacinotti...and seventy five years of tests and further works have only served to prove all the advantages of such a discovery as its inventor predicted. his creation was simply perfect and represents in the history of the electricity the indispensable element, sought for fifty years, and never achieved\u0085this was the great italian creation: the battery. ´ marconi further makes references to pacinotti´s works, his tests and research, and his permanent lack of funds which made impossible the development of many of his projects and ideas. marconi concludes `i finish\u0085. expressing my wish that more tributes of this kind will show to italians and foreigners, with accurate and objective explanation of honest and sincere historical facts, the work and life of many other great geniuses of our country. this way we will be

was a compilation of writings, drawings, news and other documents compiled and edited by the italian physicist giovanni polvani (1892-1970). marconi is recognised for his pioneering work on long-distance radio transmission and for the development of a radio telegraph system. he is often credited as the inventor of radio and shared the 1909 nobel prize in physics (with karl ferdinand braun) in 'recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy'. marconi was also an entrepreneur and businessman who founded the wireless telegraph & signal company in the

gabor straus, in german, incorporating two lines of calculations. einstein announces 'ich stimme mit der meinung, die sie in ihrem letzten briefe geaussert haben, nicht uberein. es liegt eben doch in der natur der suche, dass man verlangen muss, dass alle tensoren, die durch kontraktion von\u0085. gewonnen werden konnen verschwinden' (translation: 'i do not agree with the opinion you expressed in your last letter. it is precisely in the nature of research that one must demand that all the tensors that can be produced by means of the\u0085.contraction disappear') and continues to explain, 'ich bin davon uberzeugt, dass man dies verlangen muss, trotzdem es nun sehr unwahrscheinlich geworden ist, dass es drei zusatzliche identitaten gibt. wenn man kompatible gleichungen im sinne der fortsetzbarkeit einer jeden schnittlosung verlangt, so gibt es mindestens drei formal gleichberechtgte am variationssystemen gewahrbare, also im gewohnlichen sinne kompatible gleichungssysteme, dessen jedes weniger naturlich ist als das starke system, und zwischen denen eine wahl in vernunftiger weise nicht getroffen werden kann. wenn das starke system so wenig losungen haben sollte, dass die allgemeine losung durch eine endliche zahl von zahlenparametern bestimmt ist, dann kame das starke system als physikalische theorie naturlich nicht in betracht. dann aber ware ich uberzeugt, dass die theorie des nicht symmetrischen feldes uberhaupt aufgeben werden musste. wenn aber die mannigfaltigkeit der losungen des starken systems nicht in solcher weise beschrankt ist, dann ist die theorie nach meiner ansicht sehr aussichtsreich. denn es ist plausibel, dass das thatreichliche feldgesetz in seinen losungen starker eingeschrankt ist, als es z. b. durch ein hamilton-prinzip erreichbar ist' (translation: 'i am convinced that this should be required, even though it has now become very unlikely that there are three additional identities. if one demands compatible equations in the sense of a possibility of continuity of each cutting solution, then there are at least three formally equal systems of equations perceivable in the variation system, i.e. compatible in the usual sense, each of which is less natural than the strong system, and between which a choice cannot be made in a reasonable way. if the strong system should have so few solutions that the general solution is determined by a finite number of numerical parameters, then the strong system would of course not come into consideration as a physical theory. but then i would be convinced that the theory of the non-symmetrical field had to be abandoned altogether. but if the variety of the solutions of the strong system is not limited in this way, then the theory is, in my opinion, very promising. for it is plausible that the actual law of the field is more severely restricted in its solutions than it is, e.g. b. is achievable by a hamilton principle) before concluding 'dies ist durch die quanten-thatsachen sehr recht gelegt, die eben zeigen, dass die wahl der ''anfangsbedingungen'' weitgehend eingeschrankt sein muss, was bei einem vollstandig durch ein variationsprinzip bestimmten gleichungssystem nicht der fall ist, wo eine erhebliche zahl von willkurlichen funktionen von drei variablen (fur die ''schnittlosung'') frei bleibt. das eigentliche problem liegt also darin, die mannigfaltigkeit der losungen des starken systems herauszufinden, hierein habe ich bis jetzt keinen erfolg gehabt' (translation: 'this is very well justified by the quantum facts, which show precisely that the choice of ''initial conditions'' must be largely restricted, which is not the case for a system of equations completely determined by a variational principle, where a considerable number of arbitrary functions of three variables (for the ''intersection solution'') remains free. so the real problem lies in finding out the multiplicity of the solutions of the strong system, in which i have not had any success up to now'). in a postscript, in which einstein incorporates his calculations, the physicist states 'in der neuen auflage des buchleins, die bald herauskommt, ist der schnitzer berichtigt. ich habe mirs aber doch nicht nehmen lassen, zu erwahnen, dass sie den fehler entdeckt haben. er lasst sich um einfachsten so charakterisieren (his two lines of calculations inserted at this point) bei dem andern ''beweis'' ist es ganz entspechend' (translation: 'in the new edition of the little book, which will be published soon, the blunder has been corrected. but i couldn't resist

matches'). a letter of good association and fine scientific content. some very light, extremely minor age wear, vg ernst gabor straus (1922-1983) german-american mathematician, a close associate of einstein who collaborated with the physicist on their early work on relativity.  after publishing his papers on special relativity (1905) and general relativity (1916), albert einstein conducted research on quantum physics before working on the generalisation of the relativistic theory of gravitation. einstein attempted to generalise his theory of gravitation to include electromagnetism as aspects of a single entity. in 1950, he described his 'unified field theory' in an article entitled on the generalised theory of gravitation. although he was lauded for this work, his efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. notably, einstein's unification project did not accommodate the strong and weak nuclear forces, neither of which was well understood until many years after his death. although

(15th january 1927). the later correspondence deals with a variety of matters including the death of kah's father, for which bonaparte sends her sincere condolences, explaining that she will be happy to read the manuscript of kah's book aux enfers du crime ('in the underworld of crime') and commenting 'quand j'aurai lu votre travail, je penserai a quelle preface pourrait lui convenir, du point de vue freudien, et je vous en ferai part' (translation: 'when i have read your work, i will think of which preface could suit it, from the freudian point of view, and i will let you know') (august 1930), further sending corrected proofs of the preface and remarking 'il y a un petit detail dont je ne vous avait pas parle la derniere fois ou je vous ecrivis mais que je mentionne quand meme cette fois ci. dans l'affaire troppmann, vous dites incidement quelque chose comme: dans le regne de celui que victor hugo appela si justement napoleon le petit. je suis loin d'etre une admiratrice frenetique de napoleon iii, ni d'avoir un fanatisme familial, mais etant donne le nom qui est malgre tout le mien et dont je signe ma preface, ne croyez vous pas que vous pourriez simplement ecrire: sous le regne de napoleon iii? peut-etre tout etant mis en page est-il trop tard - dans ce cas ne vous en souciez pas car cela m'est au fond egal!'

(june 1931). further including bonaparte's working autograph manuscript of her preface to kah's book, signed ('marie bonaparte'), six pages, 4to, n.p., september 1930, in french, stating, in part, 'j'ai connu maitre philippe kah a l'occasion d'une visite que je fis, a la prison de lille, en vue d'une etude psychologique, a sa cliente mme. lefebvre, qu'il avait, avec maitre joseph python, si brillamment defendue. j'ai pu alors apprecier en lui a reunion de ces qualites de coeur et d'esprit qui font le vrai avocat. le livre qu'il presente aujourd'hui au public contient le recit de maints crimes de la region du nord. il y a choisi pour epigraphe une pensee de joseph de maistre, lequel semble avoir pressenti ce que la psychanalyse nous a revele: l'unite fonciere de l'inconscient instinctif humain. mais la pensee de joseph de maistre, pour se trouver parfaitement juste, devrait ainsi se modifier: ''l'honnete homme serait effraye de ce qu'il decouvrirait au fond de lui-meme s'il pouvait a fond s'examiner''. car les abimes de l'inconscient restent tenebreux a la plupart des hommes, et seule la psychanalyse y projette ses lueurs. joseph de maistre, suivant l'erreur commune a presque tout les psychologues, a ici confondu conscient et inconscient. et c'est avec une indignation sincere et definitive que la plupart des honnetes gens affirme que la psychologie dite ''normale'' reste sans rapport aucun avec celle des criminels. cependant ce rapport est universel et joseph de maistre a en somme raison. mais maitre kah, dans l'avant-propos qui suit la citation du penseur, avant-propos qui semble la contredire, n'a pas non plus tout-a-fait tort. car les honnetes gens et les criminels, s'ils ont tous dans l'inconscient les memes ''desirs'' primitifs, ne font pas dans la vie les memes ''actes''. la difference entre eux est une difference en inhibition; il y a dans l'ame du criminel quelque chose qui, durablement ou soudainement, flechit ou manque, et qui est ce que nous, psychanalystes, nous appelons les defenses du sur-moi.........le probleme du crime est, comme tous les problemes psychologiques, un probleme dont les donnees remontent jusqu'au berceau - et au-dela.......mais la psychologie courante du juriste et du medecin n'y saurait suffire; la ''psychologie des profondeurs'' que nous a revele la genie freud seule la permettra. c'est pourquoi une collaboration intime entre juristes, medecins legistes et psychanalystes est souhaitable - en attendant que les juristes eux-memes soient verses en la science nouvelle' (translation: 'i met master philippe kah on the occasion of a visit that i made, at the prison of lille, with a view to a psychological study, to his client mrs. lefebvre, whom he had, with master joseph python, so brilliantly defended. i was then able to appreciate in him the combination of those qualities of heart and mind which make a true lawyer. the book he is presenting to the public today contains the story of many crimes in the northern region. he chose as an epigraph a thought of joseph de maistre, who seems to have sensed what psychoanalysis has revealed to us: the fundamental unity of the human instinctive unconscious. but the thought of joseph de maistre, to find himself perfectly just, should thus be modified: ''the honest man would be frightened by what he would discover in the depths of himself if he could thoroughly examine himself''. because the abysses of the unconscious remain dark to most men, and only psychoanalysis projects its light there. joseph de maistre, following the error common to almost all psychologists, has here confused the conscious and the unconscious. and it is with sincere and definitive indignation that most honest people affirm that the so-called ''normal'' psychology bears no relation whatsoever to that of criminals. however, this relationship is universal, and joseph de maistre is basically right. but master kah, in the foreword that follows the quote from the thinker, a foreword that seems to contradict it, is not completely wrong either. because honest people and criminals, if they all have the same primitive ''desires'' in their unconscious, do not perform the same ''acts'' in life. the difference between them is a difference in inhibition; there is something in the soul of the criminal which, durably or suddenly, weakens or lacks, and which is what we psychoanalysts call the defences of the super-ego\u0085\u0085.the problem of crime is, like all psychological problems, a problem whose data go back to the cradle - and beyond\u0085\u0085.but the current psychology of the lawyer and the doctor could not suffice there; the ''psychology of the depths'' revealed to us by the genius freud alone will allow it. this is why an intimate collaboration between lawyers, forensic doctors and psychoanalysts is desirable - until the lawyers themselves are versed in the new science'). together with a few pieces of printed ephemera and a newspaper clipping etc. some light age wear and minor faults, the final page of the manuscript with some creasing and tears to the edges, just affecting the text and signature. g to generally vg, 20 philippe kah (1897-1972) french lawyer and man of letters. marie lefebvre (nee lemaire) (1864-1934) french criminal who murdered, with a firearm, her daughter-in-law while she was pregnant. madame lefebvre was imprisoned the same evening and brought to court in what the french press labelled the 'trial of the murderous mother-in-law'. during the trial she showed no signs of remorse and medical-legal experts held her responsible for her actions. lefebvre was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to life imprisonment by a presidential pardon in december 1926. the case and trial was extensively covered in the french press, particularly by le figaro, and marie bonaparte's article, the case of madame lefebvre, in which she sees a manifestation of the jocasta complex as being responsible for lefebvre's murderous actions, was published in the revue francaise de psychanalyse in 1927."},"estimateMax":4000,"lotNumber":"661","title":{"es":"[psychoanalysis]: bonaparte marie (1882-1962) princess george of greece and denmark. french author a..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/36495/lot/128126/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":3000,"soldPrice":3000,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:27:24.518Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac3,000 - \u20ac4,000","currency":"EUR","id":128126,"estimateMin":3000},{"startPrice":100,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/002/002.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/003/003.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/004/004.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/005/005.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/006/006.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/007/007.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128127/008/008.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-09-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"science & medicine: selection of vintage signed 5 x 7 photographs and slightly smaller and larger, some t.ls.s. etc., by various biologists, surgeons, physiologists, geologists etc., including joseph melnick, ottorino monaco, kenneth thimann, harold ellis, elwyn simons, michael debakey (2), robert j. white, wallace o. fenn (2), piero leonardi, pierre mercier (director of the pasteur institute 1966-71), erich schmid etc. g to generally vg, 20"},"estimateMax":120,"lotNumber":"662","title":{"es":"science & medicine: selection of vintage signed 5 x 7 photographs and slightly smaller and larger, s..."},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/36495/lot/128127/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":100,"soldPrice":85,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:27:24.521Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac100 - \u20ac120","currency":"EUR","id":128127,"estimateMin":100},{"startPrice":100,"sold":true,"images":["https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128128/001/001.jpg","https://bidspirit-images.global.ssl.fastly.net/iaa/cloned-images/128128/002/002.jpg"],"soldDate":"2023-09-14","available":false,"description":{"es":"mcculloch john ramsay: (1789-1864) scottish economist and author. a brief a.l.s., j. r. mcculloch, one page, 8vo, southampton street, fitzroy square (london), n.d.
