Willems 560; Rahir 552. ◆A few instances of light foxing and other trivial imperfections internally but A REMARKABLY WELL-PRESERVED COPY the binding bright and scarcely worn and the text very fresh and clean with virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a most appealing little book containing the works of Severus the fourth century ecclesiastical historian who gave up great wealth in exchange for Christian seclusion and holy exercises and who became an ardent follower of St. Martin of Tours. Our volume includes Severus' most famous work his "Life of St. Martin" with its unforgettable pictures of this much venerated saint whose compassionate life includes the famous episode in which Martin cuts his cloak in half to share it with a beggar. Along with the "Life" are the "Dialogi Duo" which contains a reasoned review of the then prevailing bitter ecclesiastical feuds and provides information about these controversies not supplied from any other source. Also included is Severus' "Sacred History" a less original work summarizing events from creation to his own day but one much used in the Middle Ages when the author's correct and limpid Latin was greatly admired. Willems says this is the second Elzevier edition containing the same material as the 1638 edition but with the added continuation of the sacred history by Johannes Sleidanus 1506-56; Willems adds that the printing is "beautifully executed." This is a particularly lovely copy with distinguished provenance: it was previously in the library of the distinguished American bibliophile Mortimer Schiff 1877-1931 whose collection included works by great printers important illustrated books works printed on vellum and fine and historic bindings; it was later owned by H. V. Ingram a collector of fine bindings in the mold of Schiff a large number of whose books Ingram subsequently possessed. Ex Officina Elzeviriana unknown

Just barely perceptible rubbing to joints and extremities one leaf with tiny burn hole affecting a couple of words intermittent minor foxing negligible ink spots here and there other trivial imperfections but an extremely attractive copy the text fresh and clean and the very well-preserved binding with lustrous leather and bright gilt.<br/> <br/> This is a remarkably pretty copy of an extremely influential but generically elusive work printed by a legendary press and bound by the founder of a celebrated French binding dynasty. First published in 1524 the "Colloquia" comprise 63 conversations originally written for Erasmus' students on varied and overlapping topics but these urbane meditations soon became widely read as they covered subjects that intrigued the important thinkers of the day. Their influence was so profound that it is not saying too much to claim that they helped to speed the Reformation. Although they are difficult to classify precisely one could categorize them as including in general terms exposure of ritualistic fallacies invective against corruption within the church examination of popular imposture deploring of contemporary personal sins practical advice for laymen and miscellaneous discussion of amusing topics. In specific terms the text takes on such controversial topics as the value of pilgrimage celibacy and abstinence from meat on Fridays and other prescribed days. Erasmus' "Colloquia" was frequently published by the Elzeviers once in French and a total of nine times in Latin. The text was universally adopted for school use up through the 18th century. Although our lovely little binding is unsigned Culot firmly identifies its tools as those used by Jean-Claude Bozerian 1762-1840. He was the elder of the Bozerian brothers François is referred to as "le jeune" and was active in Paris from 1795 to about 1810. He began his career in Lyon as an apprentice bookseller printer and bookbinder eventually deciding to focus on the latter craft. Marriage to the widow of binder Pierre Boulier allowed him to establish a binding workshop in Paris where he was joined by his brother. His bindings were soon much in demand by French bibliophiles who appreciated their superior materials tasteful design and flawless execution--all characteristics that are plainly evident in the present case.

For the binding: Smith and Benger p. 46; "British Armorial Bindings" https://armorial.library.utoronto.ca/node/31988. ◆Spine evenly faded and gilt consequently a little dulled a touch of rubbing to extremities tail margin of text with half-inch wide light dampstain extending an inch up on the fore-edge margin of the last couple quires a hint of foxing and browning other trivial imperfections but still a pleasing copy without serious defects internally and in a scarcely worn binding with lustrous covers.<br/> <br/> This Elzevier printing of the first lexicon of New Testament Greek comes in an elegant binding and with illustrious provenance. First printed in 1619 the "Manuale" is the work of German philologist Georg Pasor 1570-1637 and was the authority on New Testament Greek throughout the 17th century. Printed by Bonaventure and Abraham Elzevier our volume is bound in the style of the venerable English artisan Roger Payne using the straight-grain morocco process developed by Payne with delicately tooled gilt panels framing the cover. The supralibros of a man whose love of books brought him to ruin was added at the center both boards sometime before 1817. The coronet above the griffin indicates that George Spencer-Churchill 1766-1840 was at that time the Marquess of Blandford before his father's death in 1817 made him the 5th Duke of Marlborough. According to DNB "He spent great sums on his gardens and his library at White Knights near Reading." His extravagance eventually ruined him financially and most of his collection had to be auctioned during his lifetime. According to the University of Toronto's "British Armorial Bindings" this volume was Lot 3017 in the sale of the "Distinguished and Celebrated" White Knights Library conducted by R. H. Evans of London in June of 1819; it sold for eight shillings. Our book was later sold at Sotheby's on 13 June 1934 lot 725; the catalogue for that sale described the binding as "in the style of Roger Payne." We find ourselves inclined to believe even more heartily in this association. Ex officina Elzeviriana unknown
