17773006455London and Paris: Barbou 1777. Joints chafed and head of spine slightly chipped. Duodecimo with a frontispiece to the first work; contemporary dark green morocco sides bordered and spine panelled in gilt all edges gilt. <p><p>The beautifully-printed Barbou edition of Utopia bound as often with the matching edition of Erasmus' Praise of Folly. </p> <p>The friendship between Sir Thomas More 1478-1535 and Erasmus 1469-1536 was one of the great scholarly alliances. More's Utopia 1516 was a revolutionary work of philosophy which inaugurated the entire tradition of the modern imaginary voyage but it was also a book to which a small coterie of his greatest friends contributed particularly including Erasmus. More also played an important part in turn in the writing of Erasmus' Moriae Enkomion - the 'praise of folly' but also a pun on the 'praise of More' - which is said to have been written whilst they were staying at More's London house. It was first published in 1511. </p> <p>This Barbou edition of both works is particularly attractive. The Barbou family was in business from the early sixteenth-century through to the beginning of the twentieth and was known in the later 1700s for their superb editions of the Latin and Greek classics not unlike a French Baskerville.</p> </p> .

1729QQ0220Apud Adrianum Beman Samuelem Luchtman 1729. ~1st edn thus 5th rev edn 1st impr. Early binding in half vellum grey paper to boards. Raised bands and green gilt label to spine. 8vo 12.9 x 20cm. Moderate soiling to boards. Hinges sound. Marbled endpapers in French Curl pattern uncracked at gutters. Replacement front and rear blank endpages. Additional engraved title page signed ''P. P.''. Old repair to top margin of engraved t.p. where loss to top margin has been repaired with laid paper. Two small areas of loss to engraved t.p. where owners'' signatures have been vigorously removed one to repaired top margin & one to title cartouche in image with small impact on lettering. Printed title page in red & black with publisher''s insignia. Minor additions to the engraved t.p.: lettering added to the open book laid before Erasmus and companions. On verso of engraved t.p. some outlines of the image on recto have been sketched in pen. Multiple annots to printed t.p. some careful English translations of title and the rest inscriptions by George and Joshua Berkeley: signature of Joshua Berkeley; inscription ''hic liber pertinet ad Gulielmum Berkeley. Datuli a fratre Joshua Berkeley'' and ''Geo: B:-y His Book / Oct. 17 1749 / Tuesd: Evening''. This very likely records the possession of the book by three brothers Joshua Berkeley 1743-1807 Dean of Tuam William Berkeley d. 1814; Prebendary of Ballyhooly Cloyne; and George Berkeley 1737-1804 Vicar Choral of Cork & Precentor of Killala. Their father was Robert Berkeley 1698-1787 younger brother of George Berkeley 1685-1753 the philosopher and Church of Ireland bishop of Cloyne after whom UC Berkeley is named. It is tempting to imagine that the ''Geo: B: -y'' of the t.p. inscription might be the elderly Bishop Berkeley himself but it is more likely to be his nephew the young George Berkeley who in 1749 would have been 12 or 13 and who seems to have taken inscribing his book seriously even noting the time of day. A fair amount of neat pen underlining to the first 15pp. of the Colloquies with a couple of marginal notations the letter ''W''. Minor ink smudge to p. 40 pencil emendations to pp. 300 & 721 slight scattered foxing. Pen trials to final p. of index not affecting text. With life of Erasmus & index.
