1800010T2F. Bohn Lubeck: 1800 1800 pp 186 Engraved title page. Damp stained. Original boards. Spine taped. "Platos praise of the poets Sappho and Anacreon Phaedrus 235c is a sincere tribute to their vivid presentations of the shock of love." Sappho's poetry centers on passion and love for various personages and genders. The word "lesbian" derives from the name of the island of her birth Lesbos; her name is also the origin of its less common synonym sapphic. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love sometimes requited sometimes not for various women but descriptions of physical acts between women are few.

179039156Place Not Identified: Publisher Unstated. Very Good. 1790. First Edition. Softcover. 2 p.l. & 92 pages; Very scarce first edition of Count Xaverio Broglio d'Ajano's verse translation of odes by Anacreon into Italian. It was probably printed somewhere in Italy around 1790 though there is no date printed. It probably was made in the Marche near Macerata where the translator was a Senator in the Repubblica romana. The date comes from a catalogue entry in the database of the Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo Unico delle biblioteche italiane e per le informazioni bibliografiche - ICCU. This handsome octavo version was printed to celebrate the wedding of Carlo Teodoro Antici de' marchesi di Pesci and donna Marianna Mattei de' duchi di Giove - which does contribute some element of precision to the estimate of its date of issue. It is bound in jolly contemporary wrappers with a printed floral pattern. This is a large copy in original condition with large margins - at least a few fore-edges show deckles. A few leaves of the high-quality laid paper have a blue tinge; 220 years ago this may have been printed on special blue paper. The long-lived translator born a Count in 1749 had to wait nearly forty years to see a regularly published version of this text published in small 24mo format: Verona : tipografia di Pietro Bisesti 1829. This rare undated first edition from about 1790 is not in OCLC none in the British Library none in the French Bibliotheque Nationale. ICCU database locates two copies: Accademia Georgica - Treia; and Biblioteca internazionale La Vigna - Vicenza. A clean unmarked copy with some splitting to the gutter hinge of the front wrapper but still attached. Handsome and rare. ; Experience the pleasure of reading and appreciating this actual printed item. It has its own physical history that imbues it with a character lacking in ephemeral electronic renderings. . Publisher Unstated paperback

176826070London:: J. Ridley. Full leather binding. 12mo xxxii 287pp.contemporary errata page. Full leather with raised bands to spine. Gilt titles to red spine label. Gilt dentelles. Two armourial bookplates: firstly that of Robert Shafto d.1780 of Benwell in Northumberland and secondly that of his son-in-law William Adair. Robert Shafto was a distant cousin of the Robert Shafto MP 1732-1797 of whom the folk song ' Bobby Shafto' is believed to refer. However some sources Thomas & George Allan in Tyneside Songs and Readings 1891 believe Robert Shafto 1760–1781 of Benwell was the inspiration - he was the son of the owner of this book. Either way the Shafto family with their strong Northumberland and Co. Durham connections make this volume of particular interest to those with interest in NE England. Most of the prelim is taken up with The Classic poem. The text is in English. Front hinge split and held only by one cord rear hinge tender. Though the binding is rather fragile the gatherings remain tightly bound and square. Pages show some age toning to the very edges more so towards the beginning and end of the text block. Starting to crack vertically down the middle of the spine. Prelims are unevenly tanned. Rubbed to edges with the tips of the board showing to two corners. Some slight scuffing to the surface of the leather. Fair copy . Hardback. 1768. J. Ridley hardcover

For the binding: Flety 40. ◆Lower half-inch of joints just starting to show wear three minor stains and one short scratch to upper board but a fine and pretty copy the text fresh and smooth with deep impressions of the type with rich impressions of the engravings with ample margins and with a lustrous binding.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractive copy of the first printing of an anthology of French versions of classical poetry described by Cohen-de Ricci as "one of the most elegantly illustrated books of the 18th century." Charles Eisen 1720-78 was Louis XV's court painter as well as drawing master to Madame de Pompadour. Bryan says that "almost all the important books published in France in his time contain his exquisite plates" which "he engraved with a light point and with striking originality." He "took his inspirations direct from nature but added something of the ideal after the manner of Watteau and Boucher." The text contains biographies of and works by four important Greek poets: Anacreon sixth century B.C. Sappho b. ca. 612 B.C. Bion third century B.C. and Moschus second century B.C. The binding here is a perfect example of the kind of handsomely done French classical work produced for an extended period under the name of Chambolle. A rough contemporary of and certainly the equal in technique to binders like Trautz Marius Michel père Lortic and Cuzin the elder Chambolle served his apprenticeship under Hippolyte Duru and later formed a partnership with him as is clear from the stamped signature on our volume. Chambolle's son continued the business when his father retired in 1898 and in her "Modern Bookbindings" Sarah Prideaux says of her contemporary "Chambolle most worthily continues the traditions associated with the name of his father. . . . To him are confided the classics of former times which he clothes in the styles appropriate to them keeping to a simplicity of ornamentation which reveals great taste and feeling for composition.".

Albert had a well-known taste for the arts his collection of prints and drawings was one of the richest in all of Europe and he was the founder of the eponymous Albertina in Vienna.<br> In 1791 Bodoni printed two different editions of Anacreon one in octavo and the edition offered here in sedicesimo. The smaller Anacreon is one of the finest books ever executed by the great printer. The text is set in the Greek font he designed a few years prior which was based on one of Henri Estienne's 1554 types. His Greek font was highly admired all throughout Europe. The King of France as Bodoni once stated in a letter requested two copies of this beautiful gem of a book.<br> The very fine binding was executed by the leading Viennese binder Georg Friedrich Krauss.

1791A6K9AB01U79OParma: in aedibus Palatinis Typis Bodonianis 1791. Contemporary gold-tooled green morocco with the title lettered in gold on the spine gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins shiny pink endpapers with a frame of small silver leaves mounted on the pastedowns. 16mo in 4s 15 x 11 cm. With a small engraved portrait of Anacreon in a roundel on the title-page a small engraved portrait of the dedicatee J. N. de Azara in a roundel on the dedication page. Part of the text is set in Greek type. Beautiful copy of Anacreon's poems printed in Greek and Latin capitals that Bodoni had designed and cut especially for his Anacreon editions. The first of these splendid editions was printed in 1785. Our copy is one of 150 printed. A first 8vo edition was printed by Bodoni in 1784 but the 1785 and 1791 editions are by far the most gorgeous and from a philological viewpoint the best. Brooks no. 421 furthermore mentions a 16mo-edition also printed in 1791. The book aroused the admiration of the famous bibliographer Dibdin who wrote in his classic bibliography Greek and Latin classics p. 265: "The Bodoni edition of 1785 and 1791 is printed in capital letters and more elegant and exquisitely finished productions cannot be conceived".Our copy comes from the library of the Comte D. Boutourlin 1763-1829 a Russian soldier military historian politician and librarian of the Imperial Russian Library. He was one of the most outstanding book collectors of 19th-century Russia and he formed an important library which was unfortunately destroyed during the burning of Moscow in 1812. His second large collection of which a catalogue was published in 1831 in 200 copies was formed during his retirement in Florence. It contained 244 important early manuscripts 964 15th-century books many of which were unrecorded a very complete Bodoni collection and other outstanding items 7929 in all. The book was later owned by the Comte Chandon de Briailles whose bookplate is pasted on first flyleaf: "Au Conte Chandon de Briailles". This is most likely Raoul Chandon de Briailles 1850-1908 historian and wine merchant founder of the Chandon de Briailles mark of champagne part of whose rich library was bequeathed to the Médiathèque at Épernay.With the large armorial bookplate of Comte Chandon D. Boutourlin on the verso of the first free flyleaf and the bookplate of Comte de Briailles on the recto of the second free flyleaf. The binding shows very slight signs of wear internally only very slightly foxed. Otherwise in very good condition.l Brooks 422; De Lama II p. 66; Giani Cat. p. 40 no. 17; Palaia & Moscatelli 141; Quand la simplicité devient art 46; cf. Catalogue de la Bibliothèque de son Exc.
