1908508688Deighton Bell and Co 1908. First Edition. Hardcover. GOOD. First Edition Thus Lowe's new critical Greek text with english translation on diglot facing pages. 12mo red cloth gilt spine lettering. xi 1 195pp. B/W frontispiece portrait of the statue of Pan and Daphnis at the Mueso delie Terme in Rome. Tips a bit worn spine a bit toned sound otherwise. Annotated with learned and comments in a fine contemporary hand with extensive notes to the rear blanks. Among other reflections the annotator remarks on p. 160 'The excision of over-erotic passages has led here and there to solecism e.g. the change of 'hon' to 'heyn' in IV11 calls for the omission of 'kai' before 'ouden'.' We suspect the owner's name 'R. A. Clarke' appears to be in another name leaving this first reader unfortunatlely anonymous noting only 'From Class Rev. August 1910 after the final notes. 'Despite its perennial popularity and the admiration of no less an authority than Goethe Daphnis and Chloe was largely ignored by classical scholars being considered trivial and/or pornographic until the 1960s when the ancient novel began to be viewed as a worthwhile object of study.'

Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of German bibliophile and music publisher Ludwig Strecker. The Artist and the Book 174. ◆A SPLENDID COPY clean and bright in a luxurious unworn binding.<br/> <br/> This version of Longus' charming Greek pastoral novel of awakening love long retained its popularity and was published frequently often with illustrations. And perhaps the chief virtue of the present edition is the unaffected sometimes mischievous woodcuts of nymphs and lovers by the French-Catalan artist Aristide Maillol 1861-1944 best known for his sculpture. His engravings here have the same classical lines that typify his three-dimensional works. According to "The Artist and the Book" the work is "perhaps the most harmonious of Maillol's illustrated books." The very attractive and intelligent binding is by Mainz master bookbinder Irmgard Haccius 1916-2003 whose work here is entirely in keeping with the illustrator's graceful simplicity. Haccius studied at the art academies in Munich and Berlin in addition to completing advanced training in book binding at the Academy of Fine Arts at Castle Giebenstein Hall. She was one of the first faculty members at the State University Institute for Art and Handicraft in Mainz before joining Johannes Gutenberg University in 1973 as a professor in the Department of Visual Arts.
