LG421-001. Fine. $ 550 FIRST EDITION, first printing. The Aldine Press revolutionized the production, accessibility, and use of the book. Founded by Aldus Manutius (ca 1452-1515), the press introduced a number of innovations that helped shape the development of the modern book, including italic type and the smaller, pocket-sized volume. The book offered here is a descriptive bibliography of books in the Ahmanson-Murphy Aldine collection at the University of California, Los Angeles (together with abbreviated notices of Aldine Press works not at UCLA), a world-renowned collection of books printed by Aldus Manutius the Elder (1449?-1515) or his heirs, Paulus Manutius (1512-1574), and Aldus the Younger (1547-1597). The book is carefully annotated, handsomely produced, and slip-cased, and has proved to be a major resource for Aldine studies and the history of the book. It contains nearly 1,200 entires, along with illustrations of typefaces, watermarks, printer’s devices, and indexes and concordances. This copy has been in the possession of the printer of the edition, the Bieler Press, since it came from the binder, is in the original shipping box, and has never been opened.

King’s Alton Mill hand-made paper, on which Andrew Anderson occasionally editioned his linocuts” with the penciled 310 367-9720 [email protected] John Howell for Books 4 note “Last Copy” at the bottom right hand corner of p. 1 of the bifolium; light soiling to pages 1 and 4. JR220-001. The text and binding of the folio volume is in fine condition, but the condition of the box and supplemental materials is Good. $ 5,500 LIMITED DELUXE EDITION of 85 copies, there were 100 regular copies with cloth spine and maroon paper over boards; the copy offered here is the Press Copy, keyboarded and cast in 18- and 20-point Caslon at the Whittington Press by Neil Winter, printed by John Randle and Tom Mayo on Zerkall mould-made and Ingres papers, this is one of 85 copies bound in Oasis goatskin at the Fine Book Bindery. This Press Copy comes with a hand-written note from John Randle on Whittington Press letterhead, dated February 24, 2020 and 2 copies of “The Rock of Cashel” print, which is made up of 9 individual linocuts, each of which is the size of the book enclosed in a portfolio that mimics the cloth binding of the regular edition. Andrew Anderson began serious linocutting in about 1956, when he was nineteen years old. Anderson continued the practice for about ten or fifteen years; most of these linocuts are not precisely dated and many blocks have not survived, existing only as prints. The cuts fall into five groups: 1) plain inscriptions; 2) imagined cities; 3) love poems; 4) country churches; and 5) historic hymns and verses. Anderson went on to a career in architecture, including work on the restoration of many country churches throughout Britain. Of this publication, John Randle writes in private correspondence: “It’s one of the best things we ever did, and I think will always be in demand. I have never seen another one [of the deluxe edition] offered for sale, and only one or two of the regular edition.” Worldcat records 32 institutional copies in 4 editions. 3 The Anderson Galleries.

There are accounts of the gold discoveries, with the personal reminiscences of the men who took part in them; valuable narratives of the Indians, and Indian Wars; tracts on the Overland Railroad; Arguments on the Land Claims; works relating to the foundations and beginnings of the State and its Conquest by the Americans; Trips across the Plains and around the Horn to the new El Dorado, etc., etc. Much of this material is extremely rare, and in a number of instances no copy has previously appeared in book sales. Material of this character is becoming increasingly difficult to secure, and has, indeed, in many cases already passed entirely from view.” From the “NOTEs” preceding each catalog. 4 BECKER, Robert Hewitt (1915-1987).

  • Esperienze Religiose E Poesia Nella Firenze Del '600: Intorno Ad Alcuni Sonetti "Quietisti" Di Vincenzo Da Filicaia
    MARIA PIA PAOLI Esperienze religiose e poesia nella Firenze del ’600: intorno ad alcuni sonetti "quietisti" di Vincenzo da Filicaia A stampa in «Rivista di Storia e letteratura religiosa», 1993, pp. 35-78. ______________________________________________________________________ Distribuito in formato digitale da «Storia di Firenze. Il portale per la storia della città» <http://www.storiadifirenze.org> Esperienze religiose e poesia nella Firenze del '600: intorno ad alcuni sonetti "quietisti" di Vincenzo da Filicaia Tra le innumerevoli spie della crisi della coscienza europea Hazard indicava l'insorgere di più o meno dichiarate ostilità verso la poesia, tanto che un personaggio come Jean Le Clerc non aveva esitato a definirla prodotto dell'inganno e della falsità. Ma arrivato al punto di dover registrare l'assenza o la morte della poesia pura Hazard introduceva, con un passaggio rapido e fortemente evocativo tipico del suo stile, un tema carico di suggestioni e solo in apparenza semplice: l'eterno bisogno di poesia che ogni generazione sente in modo diverso. Sulla scorta di una tradizione di critica letteraria radicatasi due secoli prima non esitava a contrapporre la seconda generazione dei poeti italiani protagonisti della stagione arcadica a quelli formatisi nella prima parte del secolo, seguaci del Marino, "che suggeriva loro di cantare senza posa i fuochi algenti, i ghiacci ardenti, le dolcezze crudeli e i piacevoli rigori"(1). Tutto questo finché un giorno tra le imitazioni di Anacreonte, Pindaro e Orazio, Francesco Redi ebbe l'idea di chiamare Bacco sulle colline toscane: " quel giorno una forma di poesia densa e vigorosa, sapida, originale, nonostante la sua pretesa di rinnovare i ditirambi antichi, si salvò.

  • Anton Maria Salvini (1653-1729). Il Ritratto Di Un « Letterato » Nella Firenze Di Fine Seicento
    MARIA PIA PAOLI Anton Maria Salvini (1653-1729). Il ritratto di un « letterato » nella Firenze di fine Seicento A stampa in Naples, Rome, Florence. Une histoire comparée des milieux intellectuels italiens (XVII-XVIIIe siècle), Rome, 2005. ______________________________________________________________________ Distribuito in formato digitale da «Storia di Firenze. Il portale per la storia della città» <http://www.storiadifirenze.org> MARIA PIA PAOLI ANTON MARIA SALVINI (1653-1729). IL RITRATTO DI UN « LETTERATO » NELLA FIRENZE DI FINE SEICENTO « DALLE MUSE ALLATTATO » : UN PROFESSORE DI GRECO NELLA REPUBBLICA DELLE LETTERE « Converso co’ libri come colle persone, non isdegnando nessuno, facendo buon viso a tutti, ma poi tenendo alcuni pochi buoni e scelti più cari ». Con queste parole Anton Maria Salvini si congedava dall’amico Antonio Montauti, scultore fiorentino, nella lettera indirizzatagli il 18 novembre 1713i. A quella data nell'Europa colta si erano fissate da tempo le convenzioni che regolavano, attraverso simboli, istituzioni, lessici, spazi ideali e spazi reali, la grande galassia della cosiddetta « Repubblica delle lettere ». Alla definizione di questa galassia, Salvini aveva offerto un contributo personale che gli storici non hanno mancato di sottolineare : i confini idealmente labili della Repubblica delle lettere si estendevano per Salvini ovunque si trovassero « gentilezza, buoni costumi, civiltà »ii. La scelta di questo personaggio, quale rappresentante tra i più significativi del milieu intellectuel fiorentino del tempo, è motivata, oltre che dalla qualità del suo impegno culturale, dalla sua costante riflessione sulla propria esperienza e sul proprio statuto di « letterato » ben inserito in una comunità internazionale di dotti. Questo permetterà di seguire l'evoluzione Maria Pia Paoli - Anton Maria Salvini (1653-1729) temporale e concettuale di tale condizione fino alle soglie della sua maturità quando sboccia l'epoca del Settecento di Muratori e del cosiddetto « cattolicesimo illuminato »iii.

Ancient writers composed different death narratives for the last “pagan” emperor, elaborating upon certain details in the narratives and adding portions, probably fictionalized, of the story where they thought necessary.

ADDRESS TO THE HOPEFUL YOUNG GENTRY of England in some Strictures on the most dangerous Vices incident to their Age and Quality … By a perfect Honourer of their Worth. London, Printed by E. C. for G. Walbanke … 1669. 8vo, pp. [16], ‘114’ [i.e. 141], [3]; small paper flaw in K3 with loss of a few words (supplied in contemporary manuscript), else a very good, crisp copy in contemporary sheep, covers ruled in blind, front joint cracked but cords sound, spine chipped at head and foot. £1600 First edition of a very scarce, and immensely engaging, treatise on the vices that might ensnare a young gentleman of the Restoration, whose ‘birth was in the midst of busie and tumultuous Times’ during the Commonwealth. In language convolute yet vivid, drawing on sources from Galen to Don Quixote, the author first conjures a vision of the Idle man, like a ‘common hackney’ ready to hire himself out the next amusement – ‘A Play, a Ball, a Mistress, a Glass of Wine’. But there is no idleness in nature: ‘That Coloss of Life, the Elephant, has its understanding, strength and service apportioned to its bulk’; likewise the ‘Fly and Ant make a supplement to their close dimensions, in their wonderful agility and industry’. ‘I do not much admire to see the Theatres crowded with our Idle Spectators; [but] the hours here spent are a tolerable exemption from lewder diversions, and with some obtain the credit of a School discipline … I may not envy the Dramatic Ingeniosos the Empire they here sway over Wit, nor the Models they give of the world … [yet] may the Stage never want a florid Laureat to chastize predominant Vices, and troublesome Follies’.
