1786ST20133London: Excudebant A. Rivington & J. Marshall: Impensis J. F. & C. Rivington T. Longman & T. Cadell 1786. 175 x 105 mm. 7 x 4 1/4". 368 pp. 1 leaf ads. <br/> Contemporary brown "school cloth" rough linen raised bands. Front flyleaf with owner inscription of John Cutler dated Sept 21 1789 four lines of Latin doggerel threatening anyone who steals the book with hanging and two large copperplate trials of Cutler's signature. ESTC N63834. Not in Darlow & Moule. A little fraying at top and bottom of joints light foxing and toning throughout due to paper quality a couple of small ink stains but a surprisingly appealing copy the text extremely clean and the unsophisticated makeshift binding--remarkably--with no significant wear.<br/> <br/> This is an almost startling survival: an 18th century New Testament in Greek in its original utilitarian binding preserved in condition far better than what could be anticipated given the audience of generally uncareful pupils for which it was intended. Considering the usual depredations of school children the rough school cloth should have been worn to shreds long ago but against the odds it has fortuitously escaped hard use and now gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom very close to its original condition. One particularly delightful aspect of our copy is the flamboyant declaration of ownership by a pupil called John Cutter who inked his name no fewer than four times in different styles and with calligraphic flourishes across the flyleaf. Cutter's neatly penned book curse threating any would-be thieves with hanging may have helped to preserve the book as it now exists. In fact there are few signs of use by any owner rightful or unlawful. The leaves are free from any markings and the insubstantial binding appears to have rarely left the shelf. Excudebant A.

17632548Oxonii Oxford: E Typographeo Clarendoniano 1763. 8vo pp. iv 676. Near-contemporary tree calf spine elaborately gilt in compartments red morocco label marbled endpapers edges yellow. Some light toning and spotting. Expertly rebacked by Bernard Middleton with old backstrip laid down hinges relined. An attractive copy. In 1758 Baskerville proposed the casting of a new set of Greek types to the Oxford University Press and they ordered 2000 copies of this octavo New Testament plus 500 in quarto to be printed with the resulting type - which ended up being its only use. Negative critical reception may have contributed to its abandonment but Baskerville’s Greek face has recently been reassessed by Gerry Leonidas as an important predecessor of more modern types if perhaps not quite as elegant as that used by the Foulis press that had fallen afoul of an arbitrary typographic orthodoxy.

1758ST17496-017Paris: H. L. Guerin & L. F. Delatour Jean-Luc Nyon and Jean Neaulme 1758. FIRST EDITION. 608 x 445 mm. 24 x 17". xiv 56; 2 vi 28 pp. Two parts in one volume. <br/> Later early 20th century quarter sheep over marbled boards raised bands compartments gilt reddish-brown leather label with gilt lettering all edges untrimmed. With large woodcut vignette on title and 60 ENGRAVED PLATES by Le Bas Littret de Montigny Neufforge and Patte after Le Roy. Brunet III 103; Millard French 101. A little rubbing to corners and head and tail of spine leather a bit faded chafed and freckled in places but the binding entirely sound and still quite pleasing; very faint diagonal crease at lower corner of many leaves a handful of plates slightly browned one more noticeably so other minor issues but quite a fine copy internally--the vast majority of the contents clean and bright with deep impressions of the text with the engravings richly impressed and with vast margins.<br/> <br/> With engravings by the some of the most esteemed artists of the day this imposing work contains beautiful depictions of Greek ruins and monuments that proved extremely influential to the development of French Neoclassical architecture. The text is divided into two parts the first covering the history of various monuments and Le Roy's thoughts on the principles of architecture and the second primarily containing a discussion of the orders of columns--particularly the Doric order--as well as several reconstructions of ruined temples. According to Millard this work "breaks new ground in providing a synthesis of archaeological findings with a body of architectural theory developed and expanded from the important controversy of Claude Perrault and Francois Blondel i.e. quarrel of the Ancients and the Moderns. . . . Perhaps most important Le Roy's treatise provides the theoretical framework and many of the actual models for French neoclassical architecture." Although "Les Ruines" came under some criticism especially by British rivals James Stuart and Nicholas Revett it nevertheless "made a strong public impact" in the words of the Dictionary of Art Historians and "greatly influenced the architects of the day particularly Jacques-Denis Antoine Jean-Arnaud Raymond Alexandre-Théodore Brongniart and François-Joseph Bélanger." This was in no small part due to the exquisite plates that included many picturesque views engraved by talented artists such as Louis-Joseph Le Lorrain Pierre-Charles Le Mettay Claude-Antoine Littret de Montigny and Jacques Philippe Le Bas among others. The son of the horologer to Louis XV Julien-David Le Roy 1724-1803 was an architect art historian and archaeologist. He was a protégé of Jacques-François Blondel 1705-74 whom he later succeeded as professor at the Académie Royale d'Architecture. After winning the Prix de Rome in 1754 Le Roy spent time in Greece studying and measuring ancient architecture and developing many of the theories that he would eventually publish in the present work.

1768ST17496-011London: Chez l'auteur 1768. First Edition in French. 590 x 380 mm. 23 1/4 x 15". 52 2 pp. <br/> Modern brown quarter morocco over green linen boards brown morocco label with gilt lettering on smooth spine edges untrimmed. WITH 25 FULL-PAGE ENGRAVED PLATES OF GRECIAN RUINS and seven smaller engraved plates in text including one on dedication page. A Large Paper Copy. Fowler p. 157; Millard British 41; Blackmer 1065; Brunet III 1329. Head of spine partly torn but with no loss contents with not infrequent light marginal soiling though plates uniformly clean other minor imperfections but an excellent copy with greatly generous margins with deep impressions of the type and with strong impressions of the plates.<br/> <br/> This work is the first significant account of the ancient city of Paestum being in the words of Blackmer "larger and much more complete than any of the previous publications." Located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of southern Italy Paestum or Poseidonia in Greek was founded by Greek colonists in the sixth century B.C. and still contains beautifully preserved ruins from that period including temples an amphitheater and painted tombs. Abandoned in the Medieval period Paestum wasn't rediscovered by the West until the 18th century with the first modern publication of the site not appearing until 1764 when a suite of plans by G. P. M. Dumont appeared with no text based on the observations of Jacques-Germain Soufflot. As Millard indicates the genesis of the present publication has an extremely complex history we do not even know with certainty who wrote the text but we do know that engraver Thomas Major 1729-99 whom DNB calls "the first great English landscape engraver" was responsible for preparing the plates. Because he had no first-hand knowledge of the site Major relied on images by other artists including Antonio Joli Gaetano Magri Robert Mylne and Jacques-Germain Soufflot. The text was first published in English and then in French the same year. According to Fowler "this work . . . was an important eighteenth-century pioneer contribution to the knowledge of Greek architecture in England"; and Millard tells us that "the book was surprisingly well received by reviewers" in both England and France remaining "the standard reference to Paestum until 'Les Ruines de Paestum ou Posidonia' by C.-M. Delagardette was issued in 1798.". Chez l'auteur unknown
