  • Job's Colophon and Its Contradictions1 There Are Many
    Job’s Colophon and Its Contradictions1 Thomas M. Bolin, St. Norbert College There are many parts of the Bible that people find boring: the genealogies in the first eight chapters of 1 Chronicles, the description of the ark and tabernacle in Exodus 25-31 (re- peated in chapters 35-40) or of the temple in 1 Kings or Ezekiel. These texts are often over- looked by readers because they are long, detailed, and repetitive. But these qualities are also what make them noticed. They must be acknowledged before they are skipped over or other- wise left unregarded. In contrast, the lowly biblical colophon has nothing similar by which it can assert itself to the reader. Colophons often go by unnoticed. They are the textual equiva- lents of the human appendix: structural relics of a bygone time that have outlived their useful- ness. They are the Rodney Dangerfield of ancient text forms. At best they can yield form-crit- ical data, as Michael Fishbane has argued on the basis of colophons in the legal collections of Leviticus and Numbers;2 or be used as evidence of redactional activity, such as the colophon in Psalm 72:20 which denotes the end of a collection of Davidic psalms,3 or be read to glean information about ancient Israelite scribal practices, as is the case with Karel Van Der Toorn’s use of Hos 14:10.4 The Anchor Bible Dictionary, the premiere multi-volume reference work of the past generation, contains no entry on the colophon. The work of Chaim Gevaryahu re- mains the most recent detailed study of the phenomenon,5 but he studies colophons in order to explain the origin of biblical superscriptions.

Material Memory: Willa Cather, “My First Novels [There Were Two]”, and The Colophon: A Book Collector’s Quarterly Introduction Willa Cather’s 1931 essay “My First Novels [There Were Two]” occupies a distinct position in Cather scholarship. Along with essays like “The Novel Démeublé” and “On The Professor’s House ” it is routinely invoked to established a handful of central details about the writer and her emerging career. It is enlisted most often to support the degree to which Cather distanced herself from her first novel Alexander’s Bridge and established her second novel O Pioneers! As a sort of second first novel, the novel in which she first found her voice by writing about the Nebraska prairie and its people.

  • Printing Paper Bookbinding Stocking Your Studio Schools And
    TABLE OF CONTENTS 2 Printing 7 Paper 11 Bookbinding 18 Stocking your Studio The PCBA Resource Guide is, on the one hand, a practical catalogue of book arts resources. On the other, it is an 22 Schools and Workshops inspiration guide and jumping off point. We’ve listed na- tional and Bay-Area stores that sell the usual (paper, glue, 24 Selling your Artists’ Book thread) and the unusual (ribbon, scrap metal). We’ve left 26 Web Links white space for your personal notes. And in the margins, we’ve suggested starting places on the web for you to begin 28 Index or continue an exploration into book arts. The table of contents on the right may seem, at first glance, bare bones, but in this issue we’ve also included an extensive index. The web is teeming with information and opinions on binding, supplies, and book arts in general. This guide could just point to several web sites and be done. But the Bay Area has a wealth of resources, and why order on-line when you can drive to a store, touch the paper, see the exact color and then trip across the very pattern you didn’t know you were looking for? Of course the national sources have to be included. Since all the national suppliers have web sites with on-line cata- logues, we’ve listed only the site address, phone number and city & state of the supplier. For out-of-state suppliers with no web site, we’ve listed an email address if available. The Resource Guide wouldn’t have been possible without the diligent prodding and dedication of Debbie Kogan.

  • THE TWO HUNDREDTH BOOK American Institute of Graphic Arts’ Annual Fifty Books of the Year
    THE TWO HUNDREDTH A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE BOOKS PUBLISHED BY THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA 1958–1993 BY ROBERT D. HARLAN 1993 THE BOOK CLUB OF CALIFORNIA PREFACE HE CLUB’S FIRST BOOK was published in 1914 and the one hundredth book forty-four years later. These books are described in David Magee’s The Hundredth Book, a Bibliography of the Publications of the Book Club of California & a History of the Club (1958). In this sequel of the second hundred books Magee’s method of bibliographical description has been retained with some modifications. In the title page transcriptions the text is in roman capital letters. Line endings are indicated with a vertical line, and the terms device, decoration and illustration are used to indicate printer’s device, and non-representative and representative im- ages. Measurements are height by width of the page to the eighth of an inch. Inferred pagination is provided in parentheses—roman for preliminary material and arabic for text. Preliminary leaves for which pagination cannot be inferred are listed in the contents note but are not included in the pagination count. The use of colors in printing and lettering is indicated. The generic term illustrations encompasses such material as facsimiles, maps, drawings and sketches, photographs and photographic reproduc- tions, woodcuts, linoleum cuts and engravings, and plates. The text type and the method of composition are identified as in Magee. But to the processes he describes— hand set, monotype, linotype, intertype—are added linotronic, phototype and, more recently, computer composition. Paper identification falls into three categories: hand- made, mold made and machine made.

  • Structure, Toledoths, and Sources of Genesis
    VIEWPOINT || JOURNAL OF CREATION 28(1) 2014 Structure, toledoths, and sources of Genesis Frank DeRemer Who wrote Genesis? What role do toledoths play in the book? Past analysts have often started by assuming toledoths serve only one function, and let that dictate structure and authorship. Some have allowed exceptions needed by their system. Instead, I first analyse Genesis’ pericope structure as for any other book, and let the chips toledoths( ) fall where they may. Then I observe how the author/editor(s) apparently employed them. This results in a simple structure and most likely original sources. The main player and key eyewitness to the events likely originated each of eight main accounts. The toledoths confirm that structure, rather than define it. If this analysis is correct,toledoths appear in a variety of ways. Additional benefits are insights into Genesis 2:4 and the main reason 1:1 does not start with a toledoth. toledoth (KJV: generations) Kulikovsky 5 devotes six of nine paragraphs on “The ּתֹולְדֹות he Hebrew word Tappears 13 times in Genesis and is clearly related to Structure of Genesis” to refuting the signature theory. I its structure and authorship, but just how? The word is best agree with most of his arguments. He then, in one paragraph translated as ‘record(s)’ or ‘account(s)’. Taylor 1 says it is plural and a figure, endorses the title theory (3) and ten divisions of but best translated as singular in certain contexts. It can Genesis. His rationale is that toledoth “is the plural construct yalad, to bear), which strongly) יָלַד refer to a line of descendants, family structure, an historical noun form of the verb account, or a combination thereof, that has come from a suggests it refers to what follows rather than what precedes.

This is the first official edition of the journals of the expedition across the Louisiana territory to the Pacific Ocean led by Captains Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, 1804–6. Reuben Gold Thwaites notes that about 2000 copies were published but 583 were apparently lost. See Thwaites, “The Story of Lewis and Clark’s Journals” in The Quarterly of the Oregon Historical Society 6:1 (March 1903), 26–53. Donald Jackson notes that several “unauthorized,” spurious journals had previously appeared, Howes 321 for example. See Jackson, “The Race to Publish Lewis and Clark” in The Pennsylvania Magazine of History and Biography 85:2 (April 1961), 163–77. Lewis had made some 1 arrangements for publishing the jour- nals before his death in 1809, where- upon the project was taken up by Clark with the assistance of Nicholas Biddle and Paul Allen. Biddle did not wish to claim credit for his contribution, and he engaged the services of Allen whose role was “but that of a reviser for the press.” (Thwaites 36).

  • Post-Byzantine Armenian Bookbinding and Its Relationship to the Greek Tradition
    Post-Byzantine Armenian Bookbinding and Its Relationship to the Greek Tradition DICKRAN KOUYMJIAN The choice of addressing Armenian bookbinding aft er the fi ft eenth century is due to a mis- understanding on my part of the period to be considered by this conference; I had thought it was entirely devoted to the post-Byzantine period. Th is confusion has allowed me to address what one might call late Armenian bookbinding, especially the very productive seventeenth century, for which there has been no general study.1 Th ough Constantinople had fallen to the Turks in 1453, Armenia was not conquered until the eastern campaigns of Selim the Grim in 1514-1516. Due to these Safavid-Ottoman wars, which began at the inception of the sixteenth century and continued intermittently until nearly the mid-seventeenth century, the sixteenth century shows a net regression in Armenian manuscript production, especially in the fi rst half of the century.2 Th e progression in production, however, is regular aft er 1550, with a slight dip from 1600-1610 as a result of the Jelali movement in the Ottoman Empire, followed by a dra- matic rise in manuscript production until the end of the seventeenth century aft er which there is a rapid decline.3 1. Th e following are the most important previous studies on Armenian manuscript bindings: Sylvia Merian, Th e Structure of Armenian Bookbinding and Its Relation to Near Eastern Bookmaking Traditions, Doctoral Th esis, Co- lumbia University 1993; Garegin Yovsep’ean, A Page from the History of Armenian Art and Culture, Aleppo 1930 (in Armenian); Babgen Arak’elyan, Kazmeri zardarman arveste mijnadaryan Hayastanum, (Th e Art of Bookbinding Decoration in Medieval Armenia), Banber Matenadarani 4 (1958), 183-203, with 15 illustrations.
