1775ST17825Paris: Joseph-Gérard Barbou rue Mathurins 1775. 163 x 96 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 3/4". Seven volumes. Edited by J. N. Lallemand; preface by Jean Baptiste Louis Crévier. <br/> EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY GREEN ARMORIAL MOROCCO perhaps by Derome covers with triple gilt rule border central gilt coat of arms of the Blanche family featuring a seated fox with one paw raised above it a row of three five-pointed stars smooth spine divided into compartments containing a gilt lyre surrounded by stars and dots floral sprigs at corners volume number within a laurel wreath gilt lettering marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With printer's two-swans device on title pages volume I with frontispiece portrait engraved by L. J. Cathelin after J. C. Philips. With pencilled note on front flyleaf attributing the binding to Derome. Brunet III 1108 "Edition estimée"; Dibdin II 171. For the binding: Olivier Pl. 2279. ◆Spines slightly and uniformly sunned very light shelf wear to bindings occasional faint foxing in volume IV but A SUPERB SET almost entirely absent of any signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a fine-paper copy in a binding both charming and handsome of what Dibdin deems "a truly beautiful and accurate edition" of Livy's Roman history. Brunet called it an "esteemed edition" and notes that fine paper copies like the present set sold for twice what regular copies cost. First printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1469 the "Histories" of Titius Livius Patavani 59 B.C. - 17 A.D. follow the rise of Rome from the founding of the city through its triumphs in the Punic Wars and up through the reign of the author's contemporary emperor Augustus. His account is notable for its emphasis on the glorious triumphs and accounts of heroism of the Romans stemming in his eyes from their virtue; his history is intended not just to inform but also to elevate the reader. The present edition according to Dibdin builds on the fine editions edited by Crevier and Drakenborch incorporating their useful notes and additions. It was beautifully printed by Joseph-Gérard Barbou 1723-90 scion of a family that had begun printing in Lyon in 1529 moving to Paris in 1540. Joseph apparently specialized in Latin classics producing editions of Cicero Lucretius Pliny Caesar and Martial among others. The fine binding here does not have Derome's ticket but is well executed enough to make the attribution written in at front plausible. There were no fewer than 18 members of the Derome family not to mention workshop associates who made their livings as binders in Paris from the middle of the 17th century until the first quarter of the 19th. Our binding is tasteful--perfect for a scholarly edition of a classic--and conceivably the work of one of the Deromes or of an extremely competent associate. Olivier attributes our armorial stamp to the 18th century Blanche family of Burgundy and he finds it on a copy of Barbou's 1771 Sallust in the library of Madame la Comtesse de Cossé. The "country house" condition of the present set suggests an aristocratic owner more concerned with owning fine books than with reading them. [Joseph-Gérard] Barbou, rue Mathurins unknown

1965513160Cambridge University Press 1965. Leather. NEAR FINE. A very nice mid-century printing of the coveted Turquoise setting on India Paper printed at the Bentley House in London. vi 1184 361pp.; 125 concordance color lithograph maps and gazeteer. Large 8vo Smyth-sewn binding with overcast stitching in hand-grained Morocco goatskin leather with leather liner; all edges gilt gilt stamped spine lettering two place ribbons. Owner's imprinted name scratched off; some trivial scuffing to the gilt very faint dampstains to just a few pages; otherwise an uncommonly nice copy with little evidence of use--no markings blank dedication pages very clean and bright pages and tight sound binding. One of the most sought-after settings of the KJV the Cambridge Turquoise is prized for its boldness and clarity of it's large font especially when printed on the older 'India Paper' makes for one of the most eminently legible personal Bibles -- readable from a distance of several feet. While the goatskin leather is very nice the key to the value of this printing is the paper. The excellence of the India Paper of this era the likes of which has not been produced since the 70's is hard to overstate. Decades of research and development by Oxford and Cambridge went into producing this astounding combination of thinness strenght and opacity. Cambridge University Press unknown
