152 pages. Black and white photographic plates. "This book does not claim to have said anything new, but is rather a reviewing of an old story through an individual lens which may bring into a new perspective the leading characters and events of that story. It is a story that can never be exhausted, and is always unfolding; that fact, and the narrow, unsatisfactory method of disconnecting teaching, and spiritualising in general practice, are my excuses for attempting to give it as one continual history, 'The Drama of the Ages', whose pivotal centre is Christ Himself and His teaching." - from Preface.

Undated. Circa 1995? Decorated envelope containing 8 black and white prints on sheets measuring 11.625" long by 8.25" wide. Envelope shows average wear and prints show signs of handling. Artist left us with a small book of pencil sketches and philosophical notes; and a legacy of mystery as to the man and the artist. Apart from one unsigned watercolour attributed to him, and the sketchbook of ideas and colour notes for possible later use, nothing else is known of Andrew Hamilton and his art. These prints show perception, accuracy, and delicacy of style, together with a mastery of perspective against the massive horizons of Otago's gaunt landscape. These eight prints selected form Hamilton's only verifiable work are a belated tribute to this little-known Victorian artist. Book

In-8°; pp. 796, mancano le ultime due carte, legatura in mezza pelle con tassello al dorso, più tarda. Con molti legni e diagrammi nel testo. Seconda edizione, la prima del 1538, le Lucubrationes dell’umanista fiammingo rappresentano un’opera “enciclopedica” nel senso che raccolgono trattati nei diversi campi del sapere, di particolare interesse la sezione scientifica dedicata all’ottica, alla prospettiva, astronomia, geometria e matematica, anche per le molte illustrazioni. Sembra le la parola “enciclopedi” si trovi per la prima volta proprio sul frontespizio di quest’opera, sotto la forma di kiklopedia.
In-4; pp. (28). Legatura in cartonato settecentesco.Prima e unica edizione di questi trattati sulla prospettiva e la retorica, scritti dall'umanista calabrese, che colgono un momento fondamentale dell'evoluzione artistica del rinascimento italiano.Opera di esaltazione della prospettiva nell'arte rinascimentale, che Collacio ravvisa nelle opere di alcuni artisti contemporanei tra cui in primis individua la pala di San Cassiano diAntonello da Messina, opera che segna anche l'introduzione in Italia della tecnica a olio. Seguono gli esempi dei fratelli Bellini, del Mantegna, di Pietro Lombardo, e il coro ligneo dei fratelli Canozi nella Basilica del Santo a Padova, opera per cui questo testo e' anche una preziosa fonte di descrizione iconografica essendo il coro andato distrutto.In questa rara opera pubblicata a Venezia, si raccoglie in modo assai interessante una summa di fattori ed eventi legati alla vita e agli studi di Matteo Colacio (Foroleto, provincia di Catanzaro, inizio della prima meta' del XVI secolo, forse 1457 - nessuna ipotesi sulla data della morte). Una descrizione piu' lunga ed accurata verra' fornita su richiesta.P.a.R.
