A very nice copy of the famous Warton Theocritus reputed to be one of the most elegant editions ever published by Oxford University’s Clarendon Press. Thomas Warton 1728-1790 Oxford Professor of Poetry and later Poet Laureate wrote satirical verse but also maintained a talent for serious scholarship earning considerable respect for his efforts in this edition: ‘a very splendid edition. every lover of Greek literature is under great obligations to the very learned and ingenious Mr. Warton for this magnificant edition of Theocritus’ Harwood quot. in Dibdin. There are also contributions from the brilliant but difficult scholar Jonathan Toup 1713-1785. Together here with Warton’s edition is an appendix separately published two years later and hence rarely found though explicitly intended to accompany the main text. This copy is elegantly bound by Johann Bohn 1757-1843 German emigre bookbinder likely c. 1810 - Bohn established himself on Frith Street in 1795 and by the late 1810s had shifted focus to bookselling and the binding was plausibly done for Thomas Gaisford 1779-1855 who reached the position of Regius Professor of Greek at Oxford in 1811. Gaisford’s bookplate is absent but the copy was among books recently dispersed by a branch of descendants and Theocritus was an author Gaisford edited for his Poetae Minores Graeci 1814-1820.

Designed and printed by Will and Sebastian Carter at the Rampant Lion's Press Cambridge. Brown quarter morocco beige cloth.

Loosely inserted is the Clover Hill Prospectus for The Story of Cupid and Psyche and a manuscript letter from Douglas Cleverdon to the previous owner of this copy of the Theocritus. Cleverdon established Clover Hill Editions with Will Carter. Before this he was a bookseller in Bristol and a producer for the BBC where he made programmes with Stevie Smith Ted Hughes Sylvia Plath and most famously Dylan Thomas producing the premier of Under Milk Wood. A beautiful copy of this 1971 reissue of the 1588 edition of Sixe Idillia printed in Oxford. Anthony Gross 1905-1984 was a painter and printmaker. He is "best known for his etchings which are characterised by dense decorative line and texture often achieved by the use of unconventional printmaking tools". V&A website. This style is perfectly suited to the heated and claustrophobic Arcadian world of Theocritus's Idylls with its tortured lovers wild animals and wilder monsters.
