1927180559Waltham St Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1927. A crown jewel of the press First Golden Cockerel Press edition number 129 of 219 copies printed on Kelmscott handmade paper retaining the seldom-seen original slipcase. Loosely inserted is the equally elusive publisher's prospectus for autumn 1926 describing this edition as "a larger and more elaborate volume than has hitherto been attempted." Troilus and Criseyde was one of the first books that Eric Gill illustrated for the Golden Cockerel Press having joined as chief engraver in 1924. Together with The Song of Songs 1925 Canterbury Tales 1925 and The Four Gospels 1931 it is one of "the classic examples of specialist book production of that period. For a while the Golden Cockerel was Eric Gill" MacCarthy p. 187. Gill's artworks "captured the whimsical interplay between words and images displayed in medieval illuminated manuscripts. In Troilus and Cryseide Gill mixed full page illustrations with a combination of black and white lines and a rich assortment of shapes that presented a sense of motion. He created serpentine flora with simple figures to cushion the distinctive text. These border decorations reflect the narrative stanzas in an unassuming manner" Berona p. v. There were also six copies on vellum. Small folio. Woodcut title page 5 full-page woodcut illustrations ornamental borders throughout by Eric Gill. Text printed in black red and blue in Caslon O. F. type. Original quarter niger by Sangorski & Sutcliffe spine with raised bands second compartment lettered in gilt floral patterned paper-covered sides top edge gilt others untrimmed. Housed in the publisher's card slipcase. Publisher's prospectus loosely inserted. Hint of wear to corners otherwise a fine copy in the slipcase a little worn and with short split to one edge.

1990FCS17-1 /1B<p>In a fitted box. Green leatherette spine with gilt title. Green and brown patterned boards.</p><p>Troilus and Criseyde is a poem by Geoffrey Chaucer which re-tells in Middle English the tragic story of the lovers Troilus and Criseyde set against a backdrop of war during the Siege of Troy. It was composed using rime royale and was written between 1381 and 1386. Many Chaucer scholars regard it as the poet's finest work. As a finished long poem it is more self-contained than the better known but ultimately uncompleted Canterbury Tales. This poem is often considered the source of the phrase: "all good things must come to an end." While the original text was by Chaucer it has here been translated and introduced by Stewart Boston.</p><p>Chaucer's handling of the traditional tale of Troilus noble warrior at the Seige of Troy and his beautiful but faithless wife Criseyde shows one of our greatest English Poets at the height of his powers. While his other masterpiece The Canterbury Tales remained unfinished Troilus and Criseyde is an intricately crafted whole tracing in its five books the hero's progress from an unrequited passion for Criseyde to its blissful consumation and a tragic conclusion.</p><p>By presenting the translation side by side with Chaucer's original and supplying any necessary notes hoping to overcome any language problems making this wonderful poem available in all its richness to modern readers. This superb edition is illustrated in full colour by Peter Brookes.</p><p><strong><em>Troilus and Criseyde</em></strong> is an epic poem by Geoffrey Chaucer which re-tells in Middle English the tragic story of the lovers Troilus and Criseyde set against a backdrop of war during the siege of Troy. It was written in <em>rime royale</em> and probably completed during the mid-1380s. Many Chaucer scholars regard it as the poet's finest work. As a finished long poem it is more self-contained than the better known but ultimately unfinished <em>The Canterbury Tales</em>. This poem is often considered the source of the phrase: "all good things must come to an end" 3.615.</p><p>Although Troilus is a character from Ancient Greek literature the expanded story of him as a lover was of Medieval origin. The first known version is from Benoît de Sainte-Maure's poem <em>Roman de Troie</em> but Chaucer's principal source appears to have been Boccaccio who re-wrote the tale in his <em>Il Filostrato</em>. Chaucer attributes the story to a "Lollius" whom he also mentions in <em>The House of Fame</em> although no writer with this name is known. Chaucer's version can be said to reflect a less cynical and less misogynistic world-view than Boccaccio's casting Criseyde as fearful and sincere rather than simply fickle and having been led astray by the eloquent and perfidious Pandarus. It also inflects the sorrow of the story with humour.</p><p>The poem had an important legacy for later writers. Robert Henryson's Scots poem <em>The Testament of Cresseid</em> imagined a rambunctious fate for Criseyde not given by Chaucer. In historical editions of the English <em>Troilus and Criseyde</em> Henryson's distinct and separate work was sometimes included without accreditation as an "epilogue" to Chaucer's tale. Other texts for example John Metham's <em>Amoryus and Cleopes</em> c. 1449 adapt language and authorship strategies from the famous predecessor poem. Shakespeare's tragedy <em>Troilus and Cressida</em> although much darker in tone was also based in part on the material.</p><p><em>Troilus and Criseyde</em> is usually considered to be a courtly romance although the generic classification is an area of significant debate in most Middle English literature. It is part of the Matter of Rome cycle a fact which Chaucer emphasizes.</p> The Folio Society. hardcover

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.
