McCarthy, Cormac [Ex-libris: Nicholas Potter, bookseller]Biblio.com

Child of God Inscribed

71269New York: Random House 1973. First edition first printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Inscribed by Cormac McCarthy in black ink on the half-title page to Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter: "For Nicholas Potter All the best from your friend Cormac McCarthy." 197 pp. Octavo 21.5 cm. Publisher's black cloth and red paper-covered boards stamped in red and gold. Black dust jacket with red white and olive green typography designed by Muriel Nasser. First edition clearly stated on the copyright page. Dust jacket with "$5.95" price intact at top-front flap and "1/74" code at the rear flap's bottom-left. A Near Fine unread copy with occasional light surface soil or toning. The text block is solid and square. The top edges of the boards are gently sunfaded. The front free endpaper has a previous ownership inscription written neatly in blue ink: "Dane Meyers Hugh Prather Collection." The dust jacket is in Very Good condition showing the spine-fading common to this title along with some general surface rubbing and scratching. The jacket edges are lightly toned with a few minor creases and short closed tears measuring less than 2cm. An attractive copy with an intimate association. A significant association copy warmly inscribed by the notoriously reclusive author to his long-time friend the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter. A short note in Potter's hand is laid in: ".This copy inscribed to me in the mid 90's." Throughout a friendship spanning forty years Potter’s bookstore served as a frequent destination for McCarthy where the two shared a rapport rooted in their mutual appreciation of literature art music and history. This volume represents a vital fragment of that connection; McCarthy who famously avoided public life inscribed most of his published works to Potter. The first printing of Child of God consisted of a run of 7500 copies and was the only printing of the first edition of this work. The book was a commercial failure upon its release selling less than 2500 copies. The book sparked controversy over its subject matter with some reviewers objecting to it on moral grounds. The narrative chronicles the progressive isolation and depravity of Lester Ballard—a dispossessed outcast who pushes the boundaries of abhorrent human behavior. Set in the rugged hill country of mid-century Tennessee the story is told in a detached clinical manner. McCarthy’s third novel Child of God intensified the visceral Southern Gothic vision of his previous works and solidified his reputation for writing spare biblical prose that depicts harrowing and macabre scenes with unflinching clarity.

Scattered foxing marginal tear to p. xi. A fine copy. Upon its publication in 1776 this text commenting on the Hippocratic treatise on fractures won the admiration of scholars at the Royal Academy of Surgery in Paris on the other side of the Alps. Joseph Pierre Eléonor Pétrequin would thus own in the following century a copy of this work recognized in France the one offered here. His main book published posthumously in 1878 would also deal with the medicine of Hippocrates. Pietro Pericoli would write in 1879 that Andrea Massimini was the last at that date to have worked on the doctrines of the ""Father of Medicine"" this Italian politician had certainly not yet heard of Pétrequin's 1200 pages on the subject. A fine illustrated work associating two renowned surgeons in line with the Hippocratic legacy. Provenance: ownership inscription of Joseph Pierre Eléonor Pétrequin.

Outer Dark Signed

196871258New York: Random House 1968. First edition first printing. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. Signed by Cormac McCarthy in black ink on the half-title page. 242 pp. Octavo 21 cm.

The black topstain is lightly faded. The price-clipped dust jacket is Very Good with just a tiny closed tear measuring less than 1cm at the bottom edge of the front panel and one very small dark stain on the spine. A nice copy. Signed by the notoriously reclusive author. From the library of the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter. Throughout a friendship spanning forty years Potter’s bookstore served as a frequent destination for McCarthy where the two shared a rapport rooted in their mutual appreciation of literature art music and history. This volume represents a vital fragment of that connection. The first printing of Outer Dark consisted of a run of 5000 copies and was the only printing of the first edition of this work. The book was a commercial failure upon its release selling less than 3500 copies. Set in purgatorial turn-of-the-century Appalachia Outer Dark is McCarthy’s second novel distilling his Southern Gothic style which he would continue to explore in his two subsequent novels Child of God and Suttree. The narrative utilizes an archaic rhythmic prose to deliver a wandering tale—a harrowing meditation on nihilism. Its publication cemented McCarthy as a singular prophetic stylist distinguished from many of his more experimental postmodernist contemporaries through a mastery of the macabre and the mythic.

Front pastedown with FULL-PAGE HAND-PAINTED EX-LIBRIS OF JOHANNES SALICETUS WIDENER: his ink inscription at head of page above a shield painted yellow with curling ink leaves around the perimeter dominated by a bearded young man in red shirt and tights standing astride three brown hillocks one hand on his hip the other holding three stalks of wheat a ink-drawn homunculus at the foot of the page his head sprouting what appear to be two antennae the later blue ink stamp of F T E beside this. First work: USTC 694128; VD16 694130. Second work: 694130; VD16 For the binding: EBDB workshop w002792; EBDB roll r001326 similar to saints roll but dated 1547 and with slightly different Latin mottos. Pigskin somewhat soiled and rubbed title page of first work tipped onto 2 leaves lightly browned due to paper quality with intermittent foxing and occasional mostly trivial stains and smudges final leaf with a two-inch to half-inch triangular piece torn away from the upper half of the fore edge affecting a total of perhaps 80 or 100 words. Still a copy featuring a binding with antique appeal and considerable interest in terms of provenance see below. Offered in its original blind-stamped pigskin binding this imposing collection of Counter-Reformation sermons by an influential preacher is of special interest because of the impressively large hand-painted ex-libris at the front. The two groups of sermons bound together here were written by Johann Wild 1497-1554 a Franciscan who was educated at Cologne and who served as the Domprediger official cathedral preacher at Mainz Cathedral. Wild's sermons were very popular and it has been suggested that they played a significant role in keeping Mainz Catholic at a time when many surrounding cities were converting to Lutheranism. Despite his being a Catholic hero for a time Wild later became a controversial figure in the Church: many of his works eventually faced posthumous censure even being placed on the Vatican's Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the grounds that they might invite scriptural misinterpretation. Our copy was owned by a second German Counter-Reformation figure Johannes Salicetus i.e. Johann Wideman whose exuberantly large hand-painted ex-libris takes up nearly the entire front pastedown. Salicetus was rector at the University of Ingolstadt which had become a bastion of Catholic thought in Southern Germany under the leadership of theologian Johann Eck 1486-1543 an outspoken Luther opponent. A relative and very close friend of Eck Salicetus composed Eck's eulogy USTC 698476 as well as a marital poem for his son Oswald USTC 2213477. The enormous bookplate is apparently a coat of arms and features a particularly proud central figure posing staunchly in a very red suit with a prominent codpiece and holding three stalks of wheat. While this peculiarly emphatic expression of ownership is surely not unprecedented we have never owned a book with provenance shown in quite such a dramatic fashion. druckts Franz Behem, [Arnold Birckmann (I) (heirs of)] unknown
