Description: You are considering a hardcover book, with DJ, TAMERS OF DEATH: THE HISTORY OF THE ALEXIAN BROTHERS FROM 1300 TO 1789 by Christopher J. Kauffman; PUBLISHER: The Seabury Press, NYC, NY; a 1976 printing; 234 pages. $15.00 price on DJ flap. Of the many religious orders in the Middle Ages and Renaissance devoted to nursing and to the care of the mentally ill, only the Congregation of the Alexian Brothers has survived into the twentieth century. Throughout this history, which spans nearly five centuries, the emphasis is on the interplay of cultural themes and religious works. Thus the "Soul Brothers" are related to such late medieval death motifs as the danse macabre and the Ars moriendi; and the "Passage Brothers" are related to the "ship of fools" motif and the institutionalization of the insane during the Enlightenment. CONDITION: DJ has some wear on the front and edges. Previous owner's name written on first page. No other known damage. Packages mailed to Illinois addresses will be charged Illinois sales tax. Items paid by Paypal can only be mailed to the address shown on the Paypal payment. SHIPPING TIME I try to ship no later than the next business day after payment. Due to volume, however, I have a noon cut-off, so, if your payment is received after 12:00 noon, it will not be mailed until at least the next business day. Saturdays and Sundays are not business days. Occasionally, I am out of town on Fridays or Mondays. Packages that will be traveling by FedEx Ground or UPS may take an extra day to get shipped as I am not close to their drop-off locations. S/H For MULTIPLE PURCHASES: I will combine multiple items whenever possible and normally reduce total shipping costs. IMPORTANT!!!!!! International Shipping: Import duties, taxes, and charges are NOT INCLUDED in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding / buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. I will not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as "gifts" as US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior.
