2011932698<p>Seattle WA: Ouroboros Press / Ars Obscura Bookbinding 2011. NEW / From the Publisher see image : "Trade Cloth Edition : Gilt-stamped cloth over boards in letterpress printed dust jacket. Over thirty alchemical texts in 528 pages. Illustrated bibliography & table of obscure words. This complete edition of the Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum goes beyond the mere reprinting of the original pages as past facsimiles have done. Using the original errata sheets provided by Ashmole the entire text has been corrected and reset in a more readable typeface and features clear reproductions of the original engravings produced by Robert Vaughan. In addition this edition features a more complete version of the Breviary of Natural Philosophy by Thomas Charnock by employing a complete manuscript of the text not available to Ashmole in 1652. This is the most ambitious publishing project embraced by Ouroboros Press in its years of laboring to bring source works of western esotericism to scholars and collectors alike. Over a dozen individuals and institutions worked hard to bring the book into this complete and corrected edition. This is fine esoteric book arts at its best a volume Elias Ashmole himself would be proud of. Robert Vaughan Engravings John Goddard et al. Alchemical Engravings Ornamental Grotesques Dragons Trees and Fleurons. Includes an 11 x 14 Folding Plate Titled George Ripley's Wheel John Goddard's Diagram With Rubricated Title PageThe Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum is a major collection of English alchemical texts which encapsulate the arcana of the Magnum Opus in poetic form. Originally gathered from several rare medieval manuscripts by Elias Ashmole the text represents the largest collection of verse treating of the production of the Philosopher's Stone to be brought together in one volume. Ashmole's pride in English literature is amplified by the consideration he gave to the project. In deciding which texts should be included in the book he details ancient British examples among the Druids & the Bardic Tradition and explains that poesy is much better than mere verse. Here we find well known names in the alchemical corpus among whom are included; Thomas Norton George Ripley Geoffrey Chaucer John Daston Pearce the Black Monke Richard Carpenter Abraham Andrews Thomas Charnock William Bloomefield Edward Kelley John Dee Thomas Robinson William Backhouse John Gower John Lydgate W. Redman and several anonymous authors. This who's who of English alchemists is placed in historical context by a Prolegomena by Ashmole which supports his thesis that England may be proud of its alchemical literary heritage. In addition Ashmole has provided ample annotations and commentary to each of the texts as supplementary material in the concluding chapter of the book. The text has a new introduction by William Kiesel and a full bibliography of alchemical and bibliographic materials used in researching the text". The Complete and Corrected Edition.

200937612Nacogdoches TX: LaNana Creek Press 2009. Hardcover. Fine. Hardcover. Limited edition but no limitation information available. No copies found in commerce in WorldCat or in Rare Book Hub. This is a striking and compelling production of the famous Knight's Tale by Geoffrey Chaucer. It is beautifully printed and bound. A note from the press states that "the narration of this tale works by condensing actions and their effects into powerful symbols and figurative images. It is therefore a work that lends itself to illustration. The Knight's Tale has in fact been illustrated many times but never so thoroughly as in the current edition. Moreover past illustrators have tended to romanticize or sentimentalize the story eschewing its most violent and disturbing images."<br /> <br /> The book was printed at the Press when it was part of the College of Fine Arts at Stephen F. Austin University. The Press was part of the Stephen F. Austin St. University College of Fine Arts until December of 2019. Since then the press has become part of the Crazy Creek Studios and ceased any connection to SFA. Printed from photopolymer plates. Designed and printed by Jones and Terri Goggans. Printed in Goudy Thirty and Gill Sans type on Hahnemühle Gutenberg paper. Text is printed in black with red shoulder notes.
