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.

Specimens of Theocritus.

17604496Oxford: n. pr. 1760. 4to pp. 8 numbered 1 91-94 94 93 42. Stitched as issued sometime folded horizontally. Toned in places final page browned some spots and light soiling edges a little creased. ‘Thick’ in a small contemporary hand to top corner of first page. An unrecorded specimen for an unspecified edition of Theocritus but probably Warton’s highly regarded version issued in 1770 by the Clarendon Press. The cover title reads simply ‘Specimens of Theocritus’ but no other quarto edition of the author was published in Great Britain in the 18th century. The arrangement is unusual: the first page is the section title. The second prints the introduction and first ten lines of Idyll VI while the third page begins Idyll VI again but prints the first twelve lines this time without accents. The fourth page follows on from the text on the second now with a Latin translation at the foot in a single column. The fifth page starts Idyll VI again printing the first 12 lines without accents but omitting the scholiast’s introduction adding instead a Latin translation in two columns. The sixth page is just a Latin translation of the first thirty or so lines in one column and the seventh page contains scholia and the eighth variorum notes. Warton’s edition uses a layout similar to that on the third page here though in the published book Idyll VI appears on p. 31 and other details of typography vary; the type itself is similarly very close but with considerable variation in use of ligatures between the specimen and the published text. On the other hand Warton’s edition also does not include variorium notes and the text of the scholia there is significantly different to the specimen page. The crucial element is that Warton’s edition was notable for the absence of accents in its Greek text - testing whether such a change would work may make sense of the variations in this specimen and the variorum notes may have been cut along with portions of the scholia by the time the edition was in the press. Letters between Toup and Warton indicate that printing was underway as early as May 1768 so this specimen would likely predate that. [n. pr.] unknown
