  • Incunabula and Sixteenth Century Imprints
    Incunabula and Sixteenth Century Imprints FREDERICK R. GOFF THEWISE preacher in the Book of Ecclesiastes in- formed his listeners that “Of the making of many books there is no end.” If this was true in early Biblical times, one can only imagine what this learned gentleman’s appalled reaction would be to the pro- digious and continuous outpouring from the contemporary press. No one will ever be able to estimate the number of books that have been produced since those anonymous pressmen, working for Gutenberg, commenced to pull sheets from the presses he had constructed for his first printing office. It is possible, however, to estimate in rough fash- ion the number of books, pamphlets, and broadsides that issued dur- ing the period of incunabular printing that, with some questionable exceptions, ended with the commencement of the year 1501. There is valid evidence to support an estimate of upwards of 40,000 editions that were printed on the earliest European presses at work during the first fifty years after the invention of printing with movable metal types. If, as we have reason to believe, the average number of copies produced in a fifteenth-century edition was 500, these early printers were responsible for placing in circulation approximately 20,000,000 books, pamphlets, and broadsides. There are no accurate statistics to determine how many of this original estimate survive today, but it is a matter of record that ac- cording to the statistical survey made during the compilation of the Third Census of Zncunabula in American Libraries, compiled and edited by this writer, and published by the Bibliographical Society of America in 1964 (New York), 47,188 copies of 12,599 editions were recorded in American ownership, How many other copies of incunabula have survived is a matter of interesting speculation.

  • A Book Lover's Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim
    Verbeia Número 1 ISSN 2444-1333 Leonor María Martínez Serrano A Book Lover’s Journey: Literary Archaeology and Bibliophilia in Tim Bowling’s In the Suicide’s Library Leonor María Martínez Serrano Universidad de Córdoba [email protected] Resumen Nativo de la costa occidental de Canadá, Tim Bowling es uno de los autores canadienses más aclamados. Su obra In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explora cómo un solo objeto —un ejemplar gastado ya por el tiempo de Ideas of Order de Wallace Stevens que se encuentra en una biblioteca universitaria— es capaz de hacer el pasado visible y tangible en su pura materialidad. En la solapa delantera del libro de Stevens, Bowling descubre la elegante firma de su anterior dueño, Weldon Kees, un oscuro poeta norteamericano que puso fin a su vida saltando al vacío desde el Golden Gate Bridge. El hallazgo de este ejemplar autografiado de la obra maestra de Stevens marca el comienzo de una meditación lírica por parte de Bowling sobre los libros como objetos de arte, sobre el suicidio, la relación entre padres e hijas, la historia de la imprenta y la bibliofilia, a la par que lleva a cabo una suerte de arqueología del pasado literario de los Estados Unidos con una gran pericia literaria y poética vehemencia. Palabras clave: Tim Bowling, bibliofilia, narrativa, arqueología del saber, vestigio. Abstract A native of the Canadian West Coast, Tim Bowling is widely acclaimed as one of the best living Canadian authors. His creative work entitled In the Suicide’s Library. A Book Lover’s Journey (2010) explores how a single object —a tattered copy of Wallace Stevens’s Ideas of Order that he finds in a university library— can render the past visible and tangible in its pure materiality.

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.

Acknowledgements This was a very ambitious MSc project, and as such there are a lot of people I’d like to thank. I’d first like to thank Jon Bird and Paul Marshall, for all of their support and assistance in producing and installing the system, and ultimately getting this report written. They offered great help throughout the project; the project wouldn’t have came together without them. I’d also like to thank all of the other academic and support staff that have taught and helped me over the past twelve months on the Masters’ degree. The Technical Support Group staff, especially Dave Twinsleton, were also a great help with installing various parts of the system, including the wiring for the interactive surface and the wireless network in the stairwell. My friend, Greg Booth, also very kindly took a long day away from home to come to UCL and help me install parts of the system. Fran Allfrey and James Owers kindly allowed me to stay at their home when it was either too late or when I was too exhausted to take the train home.

  • Librarians and Book Collectors: Friends and Foes1
    LIBRARIANS AND BOOK COLLECTORS: FRIENDS AND FOES1 BY WILLIAM P. BARLOW, JR. Mr. Barlow is a collector of rare books and fine printing who lives in Oakland, California. HE relationship between book collectors and librarians has always been an ambivilent one: cordial but suspicious, suspicious but def- Terential, deferential but competitive. A symbiotic relationship, I suppose, except that symbiosis implies the survival of both species. Book collectors die (or lose interest in collecting, which is much the same thing), while librarians metamorphose indefinitely and even thrive by picking over the collector's earthly remains, the collections the deceased or disinterested collectors have left behind. Is it any wonder that the book collector would approach his relationship with librarians with the same anxiety with which the male black widow spider approaches sex? The li- brarian, on the other hand, has his own anxieties. The collector is a for- midable foe in the auction room and seems to have a better rapport with book dealers. And the librarian—unlike the collector—must worry that his collection is being eaten away by theft, mutilation and even, on occa- sion, use. The first of the conflicts between collectors and librarians to come to mind is competition. Competition, as we all know, is the foundation of the American way of life. And the American way of dealing with com- petition is to complain about it. But is the complaining really justified? Librarians complain that collectors, all of whom are rich and have a dis- regard for the value of money, not only are able to outbid libraries for books and manuscripts which ought to be made available to scholars but, in addition, drive up the market to outrageous levels even on the items they do not buy.

  • The Antiquarian Bookmarket and the Acquisition of Rare Books
    The Antiquarian Bookmarket and the Acquisition of Rare Books DONALD G. WING and ROBERT VOSPER IN ONLY A FEW CASES is the acquisition of gen- eral out-of-print and of rare books identical. Usually two different ap- proaches and two different types of dealers or private owners are involved. One of the most frequent headaches is the little old lady who comes in off the street and expects that because her book is old (to her) it must be rare. It seems-entirely reasonable to throw away most of what is so carefully preserved in safe deposit boxes and replace this with pamphlets and broadsides all too frequently carelessly for- gotten in attics. Few family Bibles are of value beyond the immediate family, and eighteenth century German prayer books seldom budge the purse strings of order librarians. Occasionally there will be a local historical society that will accept Bibles with genealogical entries, if they are of local interest. Otherwise, that Bible, with the immigrant ancestor's other forms of piety, had better be handed on to another member of the family, less cramped for space than a library. The late Rumball-Petrel had something to say on this particular matter. Effectiveness in both kinds of antiquarian buying, general out-of- print and rare books, is crucial to the health of any library. And neither is too well understood by librarians. It is a rare library school teacher who mentions the matter, and too little is written on the sub- ject. The only way to find out, given imagination and an enthusiastic flair for the work, is to learn on the job in a good library or a bookstore, or both, to read dealers' catalogs and the other literature of the trade assiduously, to talk with dealers and collectors, or better yet listen to them, and, most of all, to be in love with the excitement of books, bibliography, and the book trade.

  • Exploring Representations of Early Modern German Women Book Collectors (1650-1780)
    CURATING THE COLLECTOR: EXPLORING REPRESENTATIONS OF EARLY MODERN GERMAN WOMEN BOOK COLLECTORS (1650-1780) BY KATHLEEN MARIE SMITH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in German in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Mara R. Wade, Chair Associate Professor Laurie Johnson Associate Professor Stephanie Hilger Professor Carl Niekerk Professor Tom D. Kilton, Emeritus ABSTRACT This dissertation examines representations of book collecting by German women in the early modern period in order to explore the role of gender in this activity. Portrayals of book collectors in the modern and early modern eras offer examples of how this identity is constructed, particularly in the underlying assumptions and expectations that determine who is defined as a book collector and what criteria are used to shape that decision. In the case of four early modern women--Elisabeth Sophie Marie of Braunschweig-Lüneburg (1683-1767); Elisabeth Ernestine Antonie of Sachsen-Meiningen (1681-1766); Caroline of Ansbach (1683- 1737); and Wilhelmine of Bayreuth (1709-1758)--the act of collecting is depicted as essential to their social status and an integral part of their lives. Finally, in an in-depth case study of an early modern German woman who was a book collector, Sophie of Hanover (1630-1714), this study analyzes how she represented her collecting activities and textual interaction as well as how she is represented in other texts. The way in which these early modern German women were represented and represented themselves as collectors reveals a great deal about the position of women within wider networks concerning the exchange of texts and information.

  • William Blake the Book of Urizen London, Ca
    ® about this book O William Blake The Book of Urizen London, ca. 1818 ➤ Commentary by Nicolas Barker ➤ Binding & Collation ➤ Provenance ©2001 Octavo. All rights reserved. The Book of Urizen Commentary by Nicolas Barker The Book of Urizen, originally entitled The First Book of Urizen, occupies a central place in William Blake’s creation of his “illuminated books,” both chronologically and in the thematic and structural development of the texts. They are not “illuminated” in the sense that medieval manuscripts are illu- minated—that is, with pictures or decoration added to an exist- ing text. In Blake’s books, text and decoration were conceived together and the printing process, making and printing the plates, did not separate them, although he might vary the colors from copy to copy, adding supplemen- tary coloring as well. Like the books themselves, the technique for making them came to Blake by inspiration, connected with his much-loved younger brother Robert, whose early death in 1787 deeply distressed William, though his “visionary eyes beheld the released spirit ascend heaven- ward through the matter-of-fact Plate 26 of The Book of Urizen, copy G (ca. 1818). ceiling, ‘clapping its hands for joy.’” The process was described by his fellow- engraver John Thomas Smith, who had known Robert as a boy: After deeply perplexing himself as to the mode of accomplishing the publication of his illustrated songs, without their being subject to the expense of letter-press, his brother Robert stood before him in one of his visionary imaginations, and so decidedly directed him in the way in which he ought to proceed, that he immediately fol- lowed his advice, by writing his poetry, and drawing his marginal subjects of embellishments in outline upon the copperplate with an impervious liquid, and then eating the plain parts or lights away William Blake The Book of Urizen London, ca.
