In-folio; ff. (392), in caratteri romani; il titolo, tranne le prime due righe, è in caratteri gotici; pelle marrone ottocentesca firmata Bedford, con decorazione dorata ai piatti entro doppia cornice, titolo in oro al dorso, fregi, nervature, tagli dorati. Ex libris John Fairfax Crowder. Al frontespizio sotto al titolo una xilografia raffigura "Petrus Delphinus Generalis" inginocchiato di fronte a A. Romualdo; la pagina è inquadrata in una cornice a grottesche su legno che reca il monogramma "I C", che era stata impiegata nel 1521 per Sallustio, e poi per l'edizione delle Vite de SS. Padri del 1532. Raro epistolario del generale dei camaldolesi, fonte ricchissima per la vita storica e artistica fiorentina del XV secolo. PIETRO DELFIN, (Venezia 1444-1525), venne eletto generale dei camaldolesi nel 1480, e coltivò costantemente le lettere e la teologia, tenendosi in relazione con gli uomini più illustri del suo tempo, soprattutto con gli umanisti. Irriducibile avversario del Savonarola, nel suo Dialogus in Ieronymum Ferrariensem arrivò a chiedere la condanna al rogo del frate. Prima edizione del suo epistolario, una ricchissima fonte per la dottrina teologica ma anche per i dettagli storici di cui le sue lettere sono corredate. L'argomento principale che è al centro degli scritti di Delfin è certamente la disputa teologica o comunque religiosa, oggetto di fitti scambi epistolari con i rappresentanti del clero e gli umanisti di tutta Italia; tra gli altri argomenti vi rientra anche una disquisizione piuttosto lunga (l. II ep.LXXVII) circa l'azione corruttrice delle rappresentazioni teatrali, in particolare delle commedie, con un richiamo ai ludi scaenici degli antichi romani. Ma dati i rapporti con gli umanisti del tempo, la raccolta contiene anche scambi epistolari con questi ultimi: Ugolino Verino, Ermolao Barbaro, Francesco Guicciardini ecc. Ad esempio proprio in una di queste missive si esprime l'augurio che si ponga mano ad una edizione completa delle opere di Leon Battista Alberti. In folio; ff. (392), in Roman characters; the title, except for the first two lines, is in gothic characters; 19th century brown calf binding signed Bedford, with gilt decoration on the plates within a double frame, gilt title on the spine, friezes, bands, gilt edges. Ex libris John Fairfax Crowder. On the title page, under the title, a wood plate depicts "Petrus Delphinus Generalis" kneeling in front of A. Romualdo; the page is framed in a grotesque frame on wood bearing the monogram "I C", which had been used in 1521 for Sallustio, and then for the edition of the Vite dei SS. Padri 1532. Rare epistolary of the general of the Camaldolese order, a very rich source for the historical and artistic life of Florence in the 15th century. PIETRO DELFIN, (Venice 1444-1525), was elected general of the Camaldolese order in 1480, and constantly cultivated literature and theology, keeping in touch with the most illustrious men of his time, above all with the humanists. Irreducible opponent of Savonarola, in his Dialogus in Ieronymum Ferrariensem he came to ask for the friar to be condemned to the stake. First edition of his epistolary, a very rich source for theological doctrine but also for the historical details with which his letters are accompanied. The main topic that is at the center of Delfin's writings is certainly the theological or religious dispute, the subject of dense exchanges of letters with representatives of the clergy and humanists from all over Italy; among the other topics there is also a rather long disquisition (l. II ep.LXXVII) about the corrupting action of theatrical representations, in particular of comedies, with a reference to the ludi scaenici of the ancient Romans. Given the relationships with the humanists of the time, the collection also contains correspondence with the latter: Ugolino Verino, Ermolao Barbaro, Francesco Guicciardini etc. For example, precisely in one of these letters the wish is expressed that a complete edition of the works of Leon Battista Alberti be put to work.

Faint shelfwear else fine. ; 312 pages; The Soul of Tragedy brings together top scholars to offer a wide range of perspectives on Greek tragedy. The collection pays homage to this ancient, enduring theatrical and literary genre by offering a deep exploration into the oldest form of dramatic expression. It is a reminder that, for all their years, these dramas still have much to teach us. Exemplary of the nature and scope of this book, the essays range from Simon Goldhill's comparative study of music, gender, and culture to Martha Nussbaum's inspection of "the comic soul." Through the critical lenses of psychoanalysis, gender, social history, and philology, this compilation looks at Greek tragedy's peculiar power to illuminate the workings of the human soul. Structures of tragic meaning, the relationship between character desire and spectator experience, and investigations of tragedy's extraordinary preoccupation with gender reveal the form's emotional core and explain its rapid ascent through the hierarchy of cultural practices in classical Greece. The Soul of Tragedy is a celebration and a model of collaboration that will be essential reading for scholars in classics, literature, and drama.

Corners bumped. Hardbound. Very good. Includes: The Singer, The King, The Master, and Iosagan (translated by Joseph Campbell), First Edition. Patrick Henry Pearse (also known as Padraig Anrai Mac Piarais) [1879-1916] was an Irish teacher, barrister, poet, writer, nationalist and political activist who was one of the leaders of the Easter Rising in 1916. He was declared "President of the Provisional Government" of the Irish Republic in one of the bulletins issued by the Rising's leaders, a status that was however disputed by others associated with the rebellion, both then and subsequently. Following the collapse of the Rising and the execution of Pearse, along with his brother (Willie Pearse) and fourteen other leaders, Pearse came to be seen by many as the embodiment of the rebellion. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
