5. [Adorno, Theodor W. / Horkheimer, Max / Benjamin, Walter] Haag, Karl-Heinz / Schweppenhäuser, Prof. Dr. Hermann.

Wichtige Frankfurter Schule-Sammlung von sehr bedeutenden Arbeitsexemplaren / Widmungsexemplaren / Autorenexemplaren, Autographen und Manuskript-Notiz-Zetteln des deutschen Philosophen Karl-Heinz Haag. Die Arbeitsexemplare (Sieben Buchtitel in neun (9) Bänden) und handschriftlichen Notizen und Autographen (Postkarten), stammen aus der privaten Bibliothek des Adorno und Horkheimer- Schülers, Karl-Heinz Haag. Die in der Sammlung enthaltenen Manuskript-Notizen und Autographen (Postkarten von Horkheimer) sind inhaltsreich und teilweise auch deshalb sehr bedeutend, weil es unter Insidern bekannt ist, dass Haag auch während seiner aktiven Zeit innerhalb der Frankfurter Schule notorisch wenig veröffentlicht und schriftlich kommentiert hat. Beiliegt ausserdem ein Zeitungsausschnitt zur Adorno-Lehrstuhl-Nachfolge. / Important, stunning collection of seven, signed or/and annotated association-copies (working-copies) from the private library of german philosopher Karl-Heinz Haag. Haag was pupil, friend and colleague of Adorno and Horkheimer and was one of the members of the Frankfurt School of Social Theory and Social Research. The collection of annotated books (Seven Booktitles in nine (9) volumes) also includes ephemera (Autograph postcards, newspaper-clipping, as well as several manuscript – pages of significant notes and thoughts by Karl-Heinz Haag regarding topics discussed in some of these publications). The collection is especially important because Haag published and commented notoriously little during and after his tenure in Frankfurt. [See complete set of photographs of this collection on our website].

Frankfurt u.a., Suhrkamp / Institute of Social Research / Kohlhammer etc., 1955 – 1972. Octavo. Paginierung / Collation: 1. Adorno – Aspekte der Hegelschen Philosophie (Inscribed, signed): 59 Seiten mit zahlreichen Annotationen /59 pages, heavily annotated / 2. Haag – Kritik der neueren Ontologie (Author’s copy): 59 Seiten / 59 pages / 3. Adorno – Drei Studien zu Hegel (Inscribed, signed): 172 Seiten mit zahlreichen Annotationen / 172 pages with annotations / 4.

Horkheimer – Kritische Theorie (Inscribed, signed): XIV, 376, XI, 358 Seiten mit zahlreichen Anmerkungen und Anstreichungen / XIV, 376, XI, 358 pages, heavily annotated / 6.

Sehr guter Erhaltungszustand aller Publikationen mit teilweise eingelegten, handschriftlichen Notizen sowie ein alter Zeitungsartikel in dem der Zersetzungsprozess der Frankfurter Schule kommentiert wird. / All publications in very good condition with minor signs of wear. Amazing provenance and possibly one of the last important collections surfacing from the library of a member of the Frankfurt School. The inter-connection between Adorno – Haag – Horkheimer, reflected in Haag’s annotations, lends itself for study and new publications of criticism.

7. [Babbitt, Irving] Morley, John.

“Rousseau” [Significant Provenance: Irving Babbitt’s annotated working copy of “Rousseau” by John Morley].

Two Volumes. London, Macmillan and co., 1896. Small Octavo. 337, 348 pages. Hardcover / Bothy Volumes in their original publisher’s cloth with gilt lettering on spine. In protective Mylar. Later edition of the monograph on Rousseau by the biographer of Gladstone. Both volumes very good in red cloth-covered boards with slight wear at corners and head and foot of spine. These volumes origin from the library of Irving Babbitt, co-founder of New Humanism and great enemy of the thought of Rousseau. Babbitt’s penciled notes / annotations can be found throughout the two volumes, and his ornate ownership signature spreads across the front blank of volume two.

8. [Benjamin, Walter].

“L’Oeuvre d’art à l’époque de sa reproduction mécanisée” [First Edition of “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction”, surely the most important work on cultural criticism ever written and here available in its first printing within Volume I of Jahrgang V, 1936 [Annual V, 1936] of the “Zeitschrift fuer Sozialforschung”]. All three Volumes of the very rare “Jahrgang V” are present with one Volume bearing the name of Walter Benjamin’s friend Alfred Sohn-Rethel on the cover]. This most spectacular provenance is not the only surprise but the 1936-set of “Jahrgang V” came to us as part of a nearly complete set of the Zeitschrift fuer Sozialforschung [24 Issues printed in 22 Issues with only three issues missing (Jahrgang I, Heft 1 und Heft 2 und Jahrgang IX, Heft 1)] and the Periodical does not only include all the Volumes with Benjamin’s Essays but one of the issues is actually an original “File Copy” of the “Institute for Research in Social Science” and one issue is stamped “New School Library – Aug 26 1940” and another from the “William Graham Sumner Club at the Sociology Department / Yale University”.

First Edition. Paris, Librairie Félix Alcan, 1936. Octavo. Softcover / Original Publisher’s wrappers. The Volume which includes the First Edition of “The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction” in stunning condition. Three Volumes with stronger signs of wear and all other Volumes in good, very good+ or even better condition. Fantastic provenance also of the Issue 3 of Jahrgang V in 1936 which bears Alfred Sohn-Rethel’s name. Sohn-Rethel’s possession of this issue is not only plausible but reflects all the developments known in critical writings of the Frankfurt School and is the exact time in which he tried, through his friendship with Adorno, to find a philosophical home within the Institute for Social Research. An endeavour which eventually failed through the intervention of Horkheimer but this would not have stopped him to follow the path of the Institute in Exile and its seminal Periodical. We can NOT determine if the other issues belonged to Sohn-Rethel as well. [More images on request].

The very rare, even scarce irish edition of this important publication of the Scottish Aesthetic Movement: “In the popular book Elements of Criticism (1762) Home interrogated the notion of fixed or arbitrary rules of literary composition, and endeavoured to establish a new theory based on the principles of human nature. The late eighteenth-century tradition of sentimental writing was associated with his notion that “the genuine rules of criticism are all of them derived from the human heart.” Neil Rhodes has argued that Lord Kames played a significant role in the development of English as an academic discipline in the Scottish Universities” (Wikipedia).
