Edition of 300 numbered copies plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce signed by the translator and illustrator. The course to publication of this book took many turns. It was first suggested by our literary agent Fred Hill who put Hoyem in touch with his friend Brian Bedford a distinguished actor who specializes in Molière comedies. <br /> <br /> Photographs of a current production of "Tartuffe" proved impossible to obtain as illustrations. While waiting for another idea for the art Hoyem got in touch with the poet Richard Wilbur who had made an excellent translation of the play in rhymed verse and obtained permission to use it. Then William Hamilton the "New Yorker" cartoonist came to mind. Hoyem had met Hamilton in 1978 and admired his liquid line and quick capturing of character and expression in his send-ups of WASPs. But could he do period costumes Hamilton made seven charming drawings with the main characters in period dress and the servants in modern dress. <br /> <br /> To celebrate the publication the Arion staff presented a staged reading from the play directed by veteran actress and director Joy Carlin. Bruce Bolt an eminent seismologist at the University of California Berkeley and an amateur actor took a matronly role wearing a skirt with an elastic waistband borrowed from his wife. <br /> <br /> This was the fifth volume in our drama series. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

20109792East Burke VT: Plowboy Press 2010. Wrappers. Fine binding. Oblong octavo. 2 58 4 pp. Limited edition one of 100 numbered copies. Printed letterpress by Andrew Miller-Brown at the Janus Press in black red and brown in Palatino and Gill Sans. The text and glosses are in Latin Old English and English. Bound as issued sewn longstitch into Gray Flax Canal from Papeterie Saint Armand and housed in a shellacked wooden slipcase. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> Aelfric's Colloquy was written in England around the year 1000 to teach novice monks conversational Latin. Unusual among instructive texts it takes the form of a dialogue between tradespeople and laborers about whose work is the most important each highlighting their trade's necessity and often bemoaning its difficulties. Amidst this dialogue there is discussion outlining the way in which there is coordination between trades to form a functioning social structure—teaching Latin and civics simultaneously. In this regard the colloquy offers important insight into Anglo-Saxon society. The new translation by W.R. Johnson is arranged between the original Latin and an early Old English gloss presenting the text line by line in three languages. Miller-Brown has composed the book so that the dialog takes place across each page spread question and answer from left to right a quality that makes each spread varied and visually engaging. <br /> <br /> It was announced in March 2012 that Aelfric's Colloquy was one of two runners-up for the thirteenth Carl Hertzog Award for Excellence in Book Design. One judge of the competition Bryce Milligan of Wings Press said "Obviously a work in homage to a beloved text Aelfric's Colloquy reflects the age and culture of Aelfric in its external design the texture and color of the cover recalling rough woolen monk’s robes and the handmade box feeling very much like the consciously un-ornate wooden book covers of a monastic library's most used texts. Both lend gravity to what some today might consider a slight text but which really has a long and important legacy. The typography and layout echo the unusually spacious original manuscript and its tri-lingual text is an expansion of the interlinear glosses of the original. Finally the occasional and judicious use of color adds just the right amount of almost inexplicable levity similar to that which one finds peeking through Aelfric's text. Plowboy Press unknown

August Immanuel Bekker 21 May 1785 7 June 1871 was a German philologist and critic. Born in Berlin Bekker completed his classical education at the University of Halle under Friedrich August Wolf who considered him as his most promising pupil. In 1810 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the University of Berlin. For several years between 1810 and 1821 he travelled in France Italy England and parts of Germany examining classical manuscripts and gathering materials for his great editorial labours. Some of the fruits of his researches were published in the Anecdota Graeca 3 vols 18141821 but the major results are to be found in the enormous array of classical authors edited by him. Anything like a complete list of his works would occupy too much space but it may be said that his industry extended to nearly the whole of Greek literature with the exception of the tragedians and lyric poets. His best known editions are those of Plato 18161823 Oratores Attici 18231824 Aristotle 18311836 Aristophanes 1829 and twenty-five volumes of the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. The only Latin authors edited by him were Livy 18291830 and Tacitus 1831. Bekker confined himself entirely to manuscript investigations and textual criticism; he contributed little to the extension of other types of scholarship. Bekker numbers have become the standard way of referring to the works of Aristotle and the Corpus Aristotelicum. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1861. He died in Berlin aged 86. Wikipedia hardcover
