Pancrazi P
L'Esopo moderno - 430 favole
[Esopo favole](15x21) pp. 200. Questo libro si compone di ben 430 favole, 354 di Esopo, altre di La Fontaine ed altre ancora dello stesso Pancrazi, ma tutte sembrano scaturite da un'unica mente, impossibile distinguerne i vari autori. Diversamente dalla favole di Esopo, riportate in tante antologie, queste non hanno la morale, tolta volutamente da Pancrazi per renderle di più immediato approccio per il lettore. Anche il titolo per molte è stato cambiato; ridotto ad una o due parole sole parole, esprimenti in sintesi il concetto del racconto. Nelle pagine iniziali "Invito all'Esopo", leggiamo, tra l'altro, la tanto particolare, quanto leggendaria vita di Esopo. L'opera è inoltre impreziosita dalla prefazione della giornalista Marina Corradi e dall'introduzione del filosofo Edoardo Mirri. L'editore in dieci pagine finali ha voluto catalogare queste favole, raggruppandone i titoli sotto gli analoghi concetti che, a suo parere, esprimono, come: adulazione, affetto deleterio, ambiguità, ecc.

London: Printed by H. Hills jun. for Francis Barlow and are to be sold by Chr. Wilkinson Tho. Fox and Henry Faithorne 1687. The First Edition To Contain The Thirty-One Magnificent Full-Page Engravings<br/>Including The Rare Suppressed Plate Number Seventeen<br/>A Lovely Copy in Late Nineteenth Century Straight-Grain Roan<br/><br/>AESOP. Æsop's Fables with His Life: in English French and Latin. Newly Translated. Illustrated with One hundred and twelve Sculptures. To this Edition are likewise added Thirty one New Figures representing his Life. By Francis Barlow. London: Printed by H. Hills jun. for Francis Barlow and are to be sold by Chr. Wilkinson Tho. Fox and Henry Faithorne 1687. <br/><br/>Second edition first published in 1666. Virtually all copies of the first edition were destroyed in the Great Fire of London of 1666. This is the first edition to contain the additional thirty-one full-page engraved plates.<br/><br/>Folio 11 3/4 x 7 9/16 inches; 300 x 195 mm. 2 blank verso engraved pictorial title 2 title verso blank 2 To the Reader verso blank 2 dedication 2 blank verso full-page engraving of Aesop surrounded by animals and birds 40 40 17 2-221 2 Table verso blank pp. Full page engraved plate of the arms of the Earl of Devonshire and thirty-one including the suppressed plate No. 17 "Oft for a jest we expose our modesty" which is often suppressed excised or defaced full page engraved plates by Thomas Dudley after Francis Barlow illustrating the life of Aesop and 110 half page engravings in the text. The thirty-one additional plates are bound within the forty pages of English text. These plates were engraved in 1678 - this second edition is the first to contain these superb engravings. <br/><br/>Bound ca. 1876 in full maroon straight-grain roan covers decoratively ruled and paneled in gilt spine with six raised bands elaborately decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges and decorative gilt turn-ins all edges gilt. <br/><br/>A sophisticated copy an example of the fashion towards the end of the 19th century of improving copies with a pencil note on the verso of the initial binder's blank "The best impressions were picked from two copies to make this a very choice copy of the book. Robert Roberts. Boston Oct 9/1876". The 17th plate "Oft for a jest we expose our modesty." which was often suppressed excised or defaced is here present and unmutilated. Neat pencilled presentation inscription dated 1925 to front free endpaper 1735 ink ownership signature at top margin of title-page. Small expert and almost invisible paper repairs to blank margins of engraved title page small hole 1/2 x 3/16 inch neatly repaired hardly affecting image on plate 14. Small neat marginal repairs to O2 pp. 35/36 V2 pp. 59/60 small hole repaired on BB2 pp. 79/80 - just touching image on recto and two letters on verso and top corner of EE2 pp. 91/92 expertly renewed with loss of page number on p.92. Occasional minimal light soiling and or foxing but overall a clean and crisp example of this magnificent and beautiful edition.<br/><br/>For this second edition of his magnificent production Barlow commissioned Aphra Behn then at the height of her popularity as a playwright poet and translator to write a quatrain summarizing the fable and to be engraved on the 110 plates illustrating the fables. In order to substitute Behn's verses for those of Thomas Philipot d. 1682 the lower area of the plate needed to be burnished down and the new verses engraved onto the plate in place of the earlier ones. "The workman doing the burnishing feared damaging the bottom border of the design above the verse: in many places traces of the tops of the letters in Philipot's top lines remain. In a few instances a small new plate for the new verse had to be inserted."Hodnett.<br/><br/>"I Conceive it necessary to say concerning the Present Edition of this Work; That it exceeds the Former by a careful Correction of the Latin Copy and by a more Exact Translation from the Latest and Best French Edition. The Life of Aesop likewise is illustrated with Thirty one new Copper Plates.<br/><br/>The Ingenious Mrs. A. Behn has been so obliging as to perform the English Poetry which in short comprehends the Sense of the Fable and Moral: Whereof to say much were needless since it may sufficiently recommend it self to all Persons of Understanding." To the Reader leaf. <br/><br/>"The fables and plates are printed here in the same manner as in the first edition the French version on the verso of each leaf facing the plate and Latin version on the recto of the following leaf. The thirty-one additional plates illustrating the life of Æsop are placed at the end of the volume. They are preceded by the plate representing Æsop surrounded by animals and birds which formed the first plate to the first edition. Plate No. 17 is usually wanting being generally removed as too free a character. Nearly all of them are signed "Tho: Dudley fecit". Grolier Wither to Prior. <br/><br/>Francis Barlow 1626-1704 was the first English-born book illustrator. He was also the first English etcher modern animal and bird artist recorder of sporting scenes political cartoonist and possibly modern landscape artist. The lifelikeness of his animal and bird drawings prints and paintings attracted the admiration of the founders of the Royal Society and allied him with the scientific spirit of the seventeenth century. Barlow was moreover an interesting illustrator of great freshness and vigor." Edward Hodnett. Five Centuries of English Book Illustration p. 54.<br/><br/>"This seventeenth-century polyglot English-French-Latin Aesop is handsomely illustrated with engravings after designs by Francis Barlow 1626-1702 an English painter renowned for his pictures of country life and field sports. He was perhaps the finest English draughtsman of animal scenes in the seventeenth century. Barlow who published the book at his own expense explains in his preface that he intends the work to contribute to the education of young people. This is the first edition; the relatively few copies known are all survivors of the Great Fire of London which swept over the printer's premises in 1666" Morgan Library Early Children's Books - citing the 1666 first edition.<br/><br/>Felix Thornley Cobbold 1841-1909 was a British barrister and Liberal Party politician. Cobbold was the son of John Cobbold Member of Parliament for Ipswich and his wife Lucy daughter of Henry Patteson sometime Rector of Drinkstone and of Wortham Suffolk. John Cobbold Thomas Cobbold and Nathaniel Cobbold grandfather of Cameron Cobbold 1st Baron Cobbold were his elder brothers. He was educated at King's College Cambridge and later became a senior fellow of this college. Cobbold also sat as Member of Parliament for Stowmarket in Suffolk between 1885 and 1886 and for Ipswich between 1906 and his death. In 1895 he presented Christchurch Mansion to the town of Ipswich as part of an arrangement to preserve the mansion and surrounding Christchurch Park from development.

With the oversize fold-out engraved portrait of Joannes Gulielmus Prince of Nassau. Later polished calf c.1750 headcap repaired upper hinge repaired. § Phaedrus 15 BC - AD 50 Italy was a "Roman fabulist the first writer to Latinize whole books of fables producing free versions in iambic metre of Greek prose fables then circulating under the name of Aesop." Ency. Brit. This de luxe edition was especially created for the Prince of Nassau profusely illustrated with fine engravings. Dibdin spoke highly of it in his Greek and Latin Classics 4th edition: "I have always considered this as a correct and very sumptuous edition. It is ornamented with a great number of small plates or medallions in which the subject of the fable is very ably and spiritedly executed. The type is peculiarly rich and bold and is hardly equalled by any Dutch edition of a classic." p. 285. Landwehr F163. Typographia Francisci Halmae unknown books

Aesop. L'Estrange Roger.
Fables of Aesop and other Eminent Mythologists: With Morals and Reflexions. Part 1. The Third Edition Corrected and Amended. with Fables and Storyes Moralized. Being a Second Part of the Fables of Aesop and Other Eminent Mythologists &c.
London: for R. Sare B. Took M. Gillyflower A. & J. Churchil G. Sawbridge and J. Hindmarsh 1699. 2 vols. in one folio 10 28 8 476; 16 238 2 ads. pp. Engraved frontispiece portrait of L’Estrange by Roger White after Geoffrey Kneller and full page engraving of Aesop and animals both in vol. 1. Contemporary calf neatly rebacked and tips restored a clean very well-margined copy. Inscribed twice by John Bailward dated 1730 and a few pencil notes and sketches in the text. § One of the first collections of fables prepared specifically for children. Third edition corrected and amended from the 1692 edition. With the second part in first edition the two seldom found together. Roger L'Estrange 1616-1704 was Tory journalist and pamphleteer notorious for his censorship of “seditious†Whig publications in his role as Surveyor of the Press. His edition of Aesop was commissioned by a group of booksellers and appeared two years after Locke first recommended Aesop as a first reading book for children. Muir writes it was “the best and largest collection of fables in English and he had children especially in mind when making his compilation… He included many other fabulists besides Aesop notably a selection from La Fontaine within 20 years of the first appearance of any of his fables in French. It is highly probable that this was their earliest appearance in English.†The DNB notes of L’Estrange’s Aesop that it was “an assemblage of fables and facetiae from a variety of sources ancient and modern the second volume being wholly unAesopian. The trenchant reflections added to the individual fables possess a strong political animus and were to draw severe criticism from the later whig fabulist Samuel Croxall; but all L'Estrange's translations have some degree of political colouring… This compilation also includes a biography of Aesop an alphabetical table of the fables and fables by Barlandus Anianus Abstemius Poggius and La Fontaine.†DNB.

Aesop Sebastian Brandt
Appologi sive Mythologi cum quibusdam Carminum et Fabularum additionibus Sebastiani Brant
Basel: Jacob Wolff of Pforzheim 1501. First edition thus. An early illustrated edition of Aesop's Fables augmented and edited by Sebastian Brant and the first edition to include his additional 140 sections. Two parts in one volume folio leaves measuring 297 x 208 mm. Collates complete retaining one of the two blank leaves M6 lacking. Collation identical to the Fairfax-Murray copy: a-b8 c6-o8 alternately p-s6 s6 blank and original; A-B8 C-D6 E8-K6 alternately L4 M5 M6 final blank lacking. With the famous woodcut portrait of Aesop on the verso of a1 and a smaller woodcut portrait of Brant on the verso of A1 in part two. A total of 335 woodcuts divided into 194 in part one and 141 in part two inclusive of the portraits. Text in Latin. <br/><br/>Full black straight-grain morocco. Boards ruled in gilt with gilt dentelles. Spine stamped and lettered in gilt. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Generous margins. Previous owner's small bookplate on front pastedown. This copy has been very carefully restored and generally presents quite well. Certain passages were deemed obscene shortly after publication and as a consequence most known copies have a few sections defaced. This copy is no different with a number of passages and illustrations crossed out and/or marked "no legas" "do not read". A number of leaves have had small marginal tears or wormholes repaired occasionally affecting a letter or a word. One leaf C4 with a small hole affecting the woodcut on the recto and two or three words on the verso. A few leaves have been remargined including the title page to part 2 leaf A1. In two places leaves are bound out of order. The flaws notwithstanding a lovely book.<br/><br/>The plan of this edition was conceived by Sebastian Brant. The first part of the book is based on Johann Zainer's first illustrated edition of 1476-77 translated into Latin by Heinrich Steinhöwel. Brant expands the work polishes the language and includes his commentaries to these fables. The second part is an entirely new work by Brant of 140 fables riddles accounts of miracles and other wonders of nature. These 140 new chapters follow the same structure as the first section with a woodcut followed by verse and then prose "some of a very remarkable character" according to Hugh W. Davies Fairfax Murray. These compositions are taken from the works of Stace Juvenal Virgil Ovid Lucien. The first story taken from Hesiod is said to be the oldest known fable.<br/><br/>"The numerous woodcuts in this volume fall into two distinct categories. The woodcuts in the first part with a few exceptions are rather simplistic and naive in execution and are based in reverse on the woodcuts from Zainer's successful Ulm edition of c.1476 incidentally the first illustrated edition of Aesop; the actual blocks were first used in Wolff's edition of not after 1489 Goff A115. The woodcuts of the second part are more sophisticated with the use of hatching and perspective to enliven the images and they were cut specifically for this edition; is it thought they were produced by the workshop of Johann Grüninger in Strassburg" Sotheby's. According to Hugh W. Davies "The remainder of the cuts are by a new artist the style entirely differing from the older blocks. These are heavily shaded by thin close parallel lines amalgamating into a solid mass in the deepest shadows. The perspective as a rule is fair: the faces are well rounded the noses being broad at the bridge but well-shaped. The cuts have the appearance of metal but they nevertheless are probably on wood."<br/><br/>In the past 30 years there have been five other auction results for this book one copy selling twice. The average price achieved in those five sales including the buyer's premium is just under $119000. If we average just the two copies sold in the last ten years that average jumps to over $167000. Of those five results the lowest sale price from 2002 made over $81000. And finally to complete the analysis a particularly fine copy was offered by the trade in 2014 for 200000 pounds roughly $329000. So while our copy has its defects and imperfections as do almost all other copies it is priced competitively for such a lovely and important work. <br/><br/> Fairfax Murray 20. Goed. I 390 24.
