1991243886Santa Fe NM: Gerald Peters Gallery 1991. Unpaginated preliminaries 15p. illustrated with seventeen fullpage color exhibit photos very clear including cover images all show Isaac's assemblages these reminiscent of Joseph Cornell's boxes. The Marquez intro runs about 175 words in Spanish with translation to English on following page. The essayists contribute 2 or 3 pages each. Slight edgewear to covers a clean sound very good copy. We infer from the laudatory Marquez piece that he and our sculptress/production designer are friends. The gallery notes let alone their cover text do not announce Marquez' presence in this catalogue --a selling point one would think-- so perhaps it was a last-minute score when layout was already complete.

17025654Oxford: E Theatro Shedoniano 1702. Second edition. Buckram. Very Good/The Greek poets of the Hellenistic period following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasting three hundred years until the establishment of the Roman Empire have a reputation for indulging in an ornate and sometimes opaque style that we would later associate with Mannerist poets like Gongora or Marino. Lycophron's Alexandra or Cassandra may be the epitome of that style. Even Alexandrian scholars of the time referred to it as "the obscure poem." Wikipedia quotes a modern critic who says the Alexandra "may be the most illegible piece of classical literature one which nobody can read without a proper commentary and which even then makes very difficult reading." That must be why in the opening line the poet says "I will spell out everything clearly whatever you ask from the very beginning." The Wiki article continues "The poem is evidently intended to display the writer's knowledge of obscure names and uncommon myths; it is full of unusual words of doubtful meaning gathered from the older poets and long-winded compounds coined by the author. . It was very popular and was read and commented on very frequently. Two explanatory paraphrases of the poem survive and the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable." The Oxford edition by John Potter later Archbishop of Canterbury offered here includes the Tzetzes scholia as well as an exuberant Latin version of the poem by Joseph Scaliger first published in 1566 when Scaliger was 25 years old and notes by Scaliger's friend Willem Canter. Potter first published the text in 1697 but only this second edition bears his dedicatory epistle to the German classical scholar who taught at Utrecht Johann Georg Graevius. Folio 32 cm; 16 183 1 28 6 174 18 pages and full-page engraved frontispiece by Michael Burghers of a laurel-crowned Cassandra standing before the walls of Troy in flames. Greek and Latin in parallel columns. Collation includes title page in Greek with engraved vignette of the Sheldonian Theatre and a second title page in Latin with vignette of Oxford University's crest. Advertisement leaf at end. Bound in modern library buckram. Pages somewhat toned at edges but text block is sturdy and without significant blemish. References: ESTC T107442; E Theatro Shedoniano hardcover books
