Brooks 287; Dibdin I 265; Schweiger 25; Brunet I 252; Graesse I 111. ◆Spine probably a bit sunned though difficult to tell with so much gilt four tiny wormholes to joints extremities with a hint of rubbing but the binding solid lustrous and attractive; A SPECTACULAR COPY INTERNALLY entirely clean fresh and bright and with enormous margins.<br/> <br/> This is a superb copy of the luxury paper Bodoni printing of the works of the sixth century B.C. lyric poet Anacreon. Imbued with delicacy and grace these works come down to us only in fragments quoted by other authors or in the derived form of imitators and they did not find their way into print until after the middle of the 16th century. Produced by Giambattista Bodoni 1740-1813 the most celebrated European printer of his era this remarkable piece of work is called "magnificent" by Brooks and Dibdin says that a "more elegant and exquisitely finished production . . . cannot be conceived." The appearance of the page printed only with capitals and offered here in a copy with vast margins is simply as stately and powerful as one could ever hope for. Bodoni was not only a great printer but also the most important type designer and punchcutter in Italy during his day. He was responsible for some of the most graceful and immaculate books to be printed during the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century and the present item is certainly to be counted among his most beautiful productions. The present copy has a distinguished provenance. Charles C. Kalbfleisch was a discriminating American collector whose library featured a great many beautiful bindings and who was known for choosing only the finest copies available. Parke-Bernet sold much of his collection in January of 1944 in a sale entitled "The Arts of the Book . . . The Splendid Library Formed by the Late Charles C. Kalbfleisch New York." Hugh Morriston Davies 1879-1965 was a pioneering surgeon known as "The Doyen of Thoracic Surgery" who collected fine bindings especially those of the 18th century. Charles Whibley 1859-1930 authored important books and wrote popular periodical columns of literary interest edited a number of works in the substantial and distinguished "Tudor Translations" series was at the center of a British literary circle with links to the Symbolist poets of France and made an enormous contribution to literature by recommending T. S. Eliot to Faber & Faber. Ex Regio Typographeio unknown
17856702Parma: Ex Regio Typographeio i.e. Giambattista Bodoni 1785. Very Good. Quarto 32 cm; 4. xciv 100 2 pages. Engraved title vignette engraved vignette of the arms of Don José Nicolás de Azara by Domenico Cagnoni. Text in Latin and Greek. Printed in capitals on blue paper. In contemporary dark green-brown speckled calfskin ruled in gilt and bordered with a frond and flower tool all edges gilt. Spine in six compartments titled in gilt and gilt stamped with "Greek pavilion" tool. Greek key turn-ins. Pink marbled endleaves. The whole preserved in recent custom slipcase.

References: Brooks 287 "Magnificamente stampato in caratteri maiuscoli"; Giani Catalogo delle autentiche edizioni bodoniane 3 "Certo questa seconda edizione è più attraente della prima."; De Lama II 35 "bella edizione". <br /><br />Much admired edition in a large quarto format of a text Bodoni had printed in octavo the previous year. Intended in part to show off his new Greek capital letters he printed the entire text on tinted paper in caps and small caps in sharp distinction to any prior edition. Bodoni was actively trying to expand his commercial market and his reputation into Spain during this period hence the dedication to Azara a Spanish noble and sometime resident of Parma.

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

No. 9 OF 75 COPIES signed by the artist. 260 x 270 mm. 10 1/4 x 10 1/2". 6 leaves.Translated into English by Thomas Moore. <br/> DYNAMIC DARK BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO BY ALISON MARTIN five wavy lines of inlaid morocco in yellow orange tan beige and brown emanating from a section near the mid-fore edge of the front cover and radiating out and around the smooth spine three of the lines terminating on the fore edge of the rear cover the other two at the head and tail edges front cover also with a single straight diagonal line of inlaid black calf running from head edge to foot slicing through the color waves paste-paper endleaves made by Martin in an ombré of brown/orange/yellow etched with wavy lines echoing the cover design top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. In a felt-lined black cloth clamshell box black morocco label on spine. With five etchings by Nicolas Parry printed in black and sanguine. Tern Press Check-List 38. As new.<br/> <br/> This appealing fine press edition of an 1800 translation of odes by the sixth century B.C. lyric poet Anacreon comes in a 1995 binding that symbolically embodies the poems and their author. According to Alison Martin's artist's statement "the design represents the five odes as coloured waves against a dark background. These are the ideas and thoughts behind the formation of the Odes the Muses perhaps travelling across the ether destined to come together at an undefined point. . . The poet is represented by the straight black line . . . The man himself has become merely a shadowy figure in the background of his poetic works . . . yet his presence was a vital catalyst to their formation . . . Hence the design is abstract to express things beyond material existence. The colors reflect those used in the paper and printing of the text." Elected a Licentiate of Designer Bookbinders in 1995 Martin earned a degree in English at Leeds University before taking a Diploma in Fine Bookbinding and Conservation at Guildford College. She also worked and trained with renowned binder James Brockman. Tern Press was founded by artist and printer Nicolas Parry and his wife Mary in 1973. In "Matrix 5" Parry said: "Our initial aims were to relate each subject to a relative set of materials to think of the book as an overall work of art rather like an opera with a body stage - props - paper - binding intellect thoughts - words - libretto and feelings music - color - prints to try as in all art to produce a form that lives and breathes. Thus our books are not conceived designed produced through process but are perceived arranged and produced through craft.". Tern Press unknown
