1968CNBR150Kentfield California: The Allen Press 1968. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine. Durer Albrecht. One of 140 copies folio size 34 leaves unnumbered with original prospectus folded in original hand-addresed mailing envelope. The thirty-second limited edition from The Allen Press and the first printed on their 1846 Columbian handpress. Terence circa 195 - 159 B.C. was and has remained a popular playwright "The Brothers" considered to be one of his greatest plays being "not only a delightful and clever comedy but also a fine study of human nature. Proof of the timelessness of Terence's genius lies in the fact that over 400 manuscripts of his plays survive today and many of his plots have been purloined by successive generations of playwrights." This is the first edition of "The Brothers" illustrated by Durer. "Although there were about forty Terence editions previous to 1500 humanist scholars strongly objected to illustrations for the classics. So it was not until 1493 that the first was issued: 150 woodcuts in the edition printed by Johann Treschel at Lyon France. <br/><br/>It is one of the most beautiful illustrated books of the fifteenth-century; but its editor Johann Badius tried to soften the innovation by declaring that the pictures were added to assist the illiterate." The coincidence which made the present edition possible is that "Johann Amerbach of Basel unaware that the Treschel edition was underway began a similar edition by commissioning the young genius Albrecht Durer at age 20 to design 150 illustrative woodcuts one for every scene of the drama. However when the drawings were completed but only a few blocks cut the Lyon edition appeared and the Basel project abandoned." Durer's work survived and is preserved at the Kunstmuseum Basel where Lewis and Dorothy Allen first studied the mostly ink drawings of white-grounded wood blocks work in 1965. The director of the museum generously provided them with permission to reproduce the drawings and provided high resolution photos. George Lewis "photographically eliminated" the considerable erosion worm holes and mildew and metal plates were made of the twenty-seven illustrations for this edition "their first book use."<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Quarter decorative German woven fabric and sienna-brown all-rag Italian paper covered boards with a pictorial title to the upper board teal endpapers fore- and tail-edges uncut pictorial title-page printed in black woodcut heads are printed in brown chapter numbers are printed in blue-green throughout with twenty-seven illustrations based on Durer drawings used here for the first time as book illustrations for a Terence play; hand-set Unciala type the first appearance in an American book all-rag paper made at the Wookey Hole mill in England to the specifications of the press with their watermark folio size 13.25" by 8 7/8" 34 unnumbered leaves limited edition one of 140 copies.

1505008110Paris: Jodocus Badius Ascensius Josse Badius 1505. Leaf. Very Good. The leaf is approximately 5.25" x 8". Each woodcut is approximately 85 x 115 mm. The woodcuts have dark crisp impressions. The leaf has some minor marginal toning. It is a very nice example of one of Dürer's earliest woodcut designs. Thirteen editions were published between 1494 and 1521 six authorized and seven pirated. <br /><br />Leaves from these editions are very easily confused and many later printings are often listed as firsts; in all but the very first edition the woodcuts were done by other craftsmen based on Dürer's original designs. <br /><br />This leaf is from the second Latin edition. It contains two woodcuts most leaves only have one featuring Dürer's fools who always wear cowls with ass-ears and a coxcomb of bells a convention Dürer established. <br /><br />The first woodcut "The Teaching of Wisdom" illustrates both wise men and fools reacting to a sermon. The reverse "Stroking a Fallow Stallion" is depiction of a fool being trampled by a horse he feigned to respect which symbolizers the ultimate fate of false flatters. <br /><br />One of the most famous and popular works during the early years of printing <i>The Ship of Fools</i> was a satire on the many then-current ecclesiastical abuses as exemplified by Brant's imaginary character Saint Grobian the patron saint of vulgarity and coarse manners. A substantial part of <i>The Ship of Fools' </i>popularity was no doubt due to its marvelous woodcut illustrations most of which were created by Albrecht Dürer then a young journeyman woodcut designer working in Basel. Art historians note that his work in these woodcuts Dürer's first significant commissioned effort is not as impressive as his later efforts as a master in Nuremberg; e.g. the hatching consists of only simple parallel lines and contours are crude thick and without much variation. Still they are superior to other illustrations in the book designed by an assortment of masters. <br /><br /> Jodocus Badius Ascensius (Josse Badius) books
