A COLLECTION OF NINE DIAMOND CLASSICS BY CATULLUS CICERO DANTE HOMER HORACE PETRARCH TASSO TERENCE and VIRGIL

1821ST16814London: William Pickering 1821-31. 85 x 45 mm. 3 1/2 x 1 7/8". 12 volumes. VERY PLEASING CRIMSON MOROCCO ATTRACTIVELY GILT BY CAPÉ stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper covers with central gilt fleuron enclosed by blind-ruled frame with oblique gilt floral tools at corners raised bands spine panels with gilt bellflower tool gilt titling turn-ins densely gilt with multiple decorative rolls marbled endpapers all edges gilt. One volume recently placed in a remarkably faithful replica binding. Engraved frontispiece in all but three volumes the second volumes of Dante Tasso and Homer. Virgil with errata slip bound in between pp. 282-83. Keynes 45 47 51 61 72 79 80 81; Bondy pp. 86-90; Spielman 83 93 113 198 205A 407 473 476 502. Isolated tiny rust spots or faint foxing but A SPLENDID SET with no signs of use the text clean fresh and bright the bindings lustrous and unworn. This is an exceptionally fine rarely seen complete collection of Pickering's famed miniature Diamond Classics series elegantly bound in red morocco by Capé. William Pickering began his career as a bookseller before turning to publishing in the late 1810s. In 1820 he issued the first in the popular series of "Diamond Classics" miniature books set in tiny 4-1/2 point "diamond" types. Bondy who set aside his arbitrary three-inch limit on size in order to include these books says "Due to the great editorial care and the superb printing and binding which went into their manufacture combined with the importance of their contents these little volumes are now very eagerly collected by minibibliophiles and even more generally by lovers of finely produced books." A number of collectors had their volumes rebound by leading artisans like Charles-François Capé 1806-67 one of the most distinguished binders in France in the middle years of the 19th century and especially well known for the delicacy of his work. He was the binder to the Empress Eugénie and Béraldi calls him "the Bozérian of the second Empire." The present set includes the Pickering Catullus 1824 Cicero 1821 Dante two volumes 1822 Homer's "Iliad" and "Odyssey" two volumes 1831 Horace second printing 1826 Petrarch 1822 Tasso two volumes 1822 Terence 1822 and Virgil 1821. Spielmann singles out the Homer for special praise noting that with its "clear easily legible type" printed by Charles Whittingham it is "one of the best-printed Greek miniature books ever produced." And the Virgil is especially rare: Spielmann and Sheringham aver that all but 100 copies were destroyed by a fire at the offices of printer C. Corrall. The condition here is simply outstanding.

This charming minuscule book contains the Latin text of the "Ave Maria" printed on one page. Bondy tells us there is some dispute about its origins with Hungarian bibliophiles claiming it was printed in Budapest and Italian collectors insisting it was Italy. Whatever its place of publication it could scarcely be more charming and it is certainly the most portable prayer book we have ever offered for sale. 3 CHURCH OF ENGLAND.

With engraved frontispiece portrait of the author and two engravings depicting scenes from the poem all with original tissue guards. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of William Dunville see below. Doris Varner Welsh A Bibliography of Miniature Books 6611. Corners lightly bumped one spot of light rubbing to gilt on upper cover isolated spots of faint foxing but A VERY FINE SPECIMEN clean and bright inside and out the fore-edge paintings well preserved. This delightful miniature edition is adorned with two fore-edge paintings showing different views of the title city both visible when the book is open to the title page of part II of Tasso's Crusader epic "Jerusalem Delivered." Given the restricted area available for a "canvas" our artist has done a remarkable job both in the level of detail and the sense of space and grandeur the scenes evoke so it is not surprising that this volume was in the Irene Winterstein Collection of Important Miniature Books Christie's sale of 10 March 2000 lot 277 fetching $1455 all in. This is a rare miniature edition: Welsh records only one copy in her bibliography. Our copy belonged to Irish bibliophile and philanthropist William Dunville 1812-1874 who was also a whiskey magnate and magistrate. After its first founder John Dunville died William Dunville his only surviving son became the next chairman of Dunville & Co Belfast who are still famous for their whiskey today. He headed the company from 1851 to 1874. David Passigli unknown

(MINIATURE BOOKS - BLACK CAT PRESS). A COLLECTION OF SEVEN TITLESBiblio.com

MISCELLANEOUS WORKS

1962ST15816-74Chicago and Skokie Illinois: Black Cat Press 1962-77. All works measuring 49 to 75 mm. about 2 to 3" tall. Seven separately published works in eight volumes. All in their original bindings see below. Binding of "A Testament of Freedom" somewhat worn including a short crack to upper joint; "A Christmas Parable with a little rubbing to extremities and tail of lower joint; all other works in mint condition inside and out. Printer and press founder Norman Forgue said in his bibliography that the Black Cat Press "has had a long and prolific life. Founded in 1932 at the height of the Depression its only assets were an empty pocketbook and a burning desire to do fine printing and make beautiful books and hopefully find employment." Although Forgue had printed several "little" books and keepsakes early in his career the first true miniature book was not produced by the press until 1961. The titles in the present collection include: 1 BEWICK THOMAS Illustrator. "VIGNETTES FROM BIRDS QUADRUPEDS AND FABLES." 1971 ONE OF 200 COPIES. Red leather gilt French fold. With illustrations printed from original blocks. "This is probably the only miniature book partly printed by hand and part on modern automatic presses." Forgue 2 EISENSCHIML OTTO. "THE CIVIL WAR IN MINIATURE." 1962 ONE OF 275 COPIES. Dark blue leather gilt crossed sword design on upper covers French fold. 3 FORGUE NORMAN. "A CHRISTMAS PARABLE." 1964 ONE OF 200 COPIES. Red leather gilt French fold. With decorations by Gerald Whalen. According to Forgue this is "Basically a true story and an experience I will long remember." 4 FORGUE NORMAN Compiler. "A TESTAMENT OF FREEDOM." 1966 ONE OF 200 COPIES BOUND IN LEATHER. Red leather gilt French fold. 5 J. B. H. Jr. "A CHRISTMAS STORY." 1961 ONE OF 300 COPIES of which 50 were for sale. Brown paper boards with rows of gilt stars backed with green leather. 6 LEVITAN KALMAN. "MINIATURE BOOKS RELATING TO POSTAGE STAMPS." 1983 Two volumes. ONE OF 250 COPIES. Red leather gilt. Volume I with a USPS mini-stamp as a frontispiece; recto of title with an ink gift inscription; volume II with a "keepsake for friends" dated 1978 bound in with a place for a postage stamp to be added. 7 NICHOLS DALE.

OFFICIORUM LIBRI III. DE AMICITIA. DE SENECTUTE. DE PARADOXA. DE SOMNIO SCIPIONIS

1515ST19567-062Venezia Venice: Alessandro Paganini 1515. 98 x 50 mm. 3 7/8 x 2". 3 p.l. CXXXII leaves. Early 19th century olive brown calf decorated in blind raised bands gilt lettering red morocco label marbled endpapers. Front flyleaf with mostly effaced ownership signature. Brunet II 21-22 "very rare"; EDIT16 CNCE 14575; USTC 822101. Two very small portions of lost patina minor signs of wear to the leather gilt on label not especially bright but the binding entirely solid and perfectly inoffensive. The first three leaves a little browned and with a dampstain in the top few lines other trivial imperfections but the text generally very clean and fresh. Small enough to fit into the palm of a hand this printing of five popular treatises by Cicero exemplifies three of printer Alessandro Paganini's innovations: the vigesimo-quarto or 24mo book a typeface that's a blend of italic and roman and the concept of a publishing series. The son of Venetian printer Paganino Paganini Alessandro fl. 1509-38 sought to outdo rival Aldus Manutius in the production of small format versions of classics as well as cursive-style typefaces. In 1515 he began producing a series of books in 24mo beginning with Dante and Petrarch and continuing with a mix of Classical and Italian authors. The Oxford Companion to the Book declares his books "visually splendid if not always easy on the eye"; that seeming contradiction is demonstrated by the text here a very elegant semi-italic that perhaps is not as easy to read as a simple roman serif--but worth the effort for the beauty. Offered in the most portable form available in the 16th century our volume contains Cicero's essays on moral responsibility friendship old age paradoxical Stoic aphorisms and the dream vision of Scipio. The diminutive size that makes this edition--and other books in this series--so appealing also makes them scarce since small books like other objects no bigger than a mouse tend to be easy to lose. Works from Paganini's series of 24mos are quite scarce in the market and we could trace no copies at all of the Cicero in RBH or ABPC. OCLC and USTC between them find just seven copies of the Cicero in libraries none in North America. Alessandro Paganini unknown
