(Aesop) Aesopi Phrygis
Fabulae Graece et Latine cum aliis opusculis quorum index proxima refertur pagella
Basilae: In officina Heruagiana 1538. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. Late 17th-century stamped-calf binding loss to head and foot of spine title page with borders drawn on it some loss to title page not affecting text annotated throughout some worming needs to be resewn and binding reattached title page should be repaired. Provenance: Johannis Miller. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. With ownership signaure to the title page: "Ex Libris Johannis Miller pret. 1s. 0d Anno Dm 1693" a further ownership signature to the recto of the last leaf "Ex Libris Johannis Miller A D 1688" and annotations throughout the text. Rev. John Miller 1666-1724 was commissioned fort chaplain of the New York companies in 1692 spending 1692-1695 in New York: "Miller was the sole officiating Episcopal clergyman in the entire province of New York during the three years of his residence; his activities as evinced by contemporary records and his familiarity with all inhabited parts extended beyond the confines of the city." During this time he wrote extensive notes about New York and drew a map of the fort. When his returning vessel was overtaken by French Privateers he threw his documents overboard to destroy the intelligence contained therein. He later rewrote many of his observations and redrew the map from memory it's retained in his manuscripts at the British Museum from George Chalmers in 1842 and was later published in Valentine's 1842-3 Manual. He returned to England where he was given the post of vicar of Effingham gaining a reputation as a "worthy and respectable vicar" and "a man of research." His library was still "preserved with great care" by his successor in the beginning of the nineteenth century then consigned and sold in New York by Bangs and Company in 1894. A number of his books have found their way into prominent libraries and collections Stokes' Iconography; Paltsits Victor Hugo intr. "New Yorke Considered and Improved A.D. 1695 by John Miller" Electronic Texts in American Studies 17. <br /> <br /> The present work seems to have gone from him to another owner Richard Norton and then to Thomas Norton; the second page has the ownership signature and note: "Thomas Norton pretium / Thomae Dicitur Fr Richard". Thomas Norton could be Thomas Norton 1684-1748 Whig Member of Parliament of Ixworth Abbey Bury St. Edmunds Suffolk; the grandson of Col. Richard Norton M.P. 1615-1691 intimate friend of Cromwell; and nephew of Maj. Richard Norton.<br /> <br /> Contents include: Aesopi Fabulatoris vita Aesopi Fabulae Gabriae Graeci Tetrasticha Ex Aphthonij Sophistae exercitamentis Ex Philostrati imaginibus fabulae Ex Hermogenis exercitamentis / Prisciano interprete Ex Auli Gellij libro secundo capite undetrigesimo Apologus Aesopi Phrygis memoratunon inutilis Homeri Ranarum et murium pugna heavily annotated Musaeus De Ero et Leandro annotated Expositio capitvm admonitoriorum aedita ex tempora ab Agapeto Hippocratis Iusiurandum GaleÅmyomachia hoc est Felium & murium pugna annotated with translations from the Greek.

(AESOP) L ESTRANGE, Roger
FABLES OF AESOP AND OTHER EMINENT MYTHOLOGISTS: WITH MORALS AND REFLEXIONS
<b>Folio 8-1/2 by 13 inches contemporary full brown calf Skillfully rebacked with blind-stamped spine raised bands red morocco spine label. First edition of former censor Roger L Estrange s classic version of Aesop s Fables with copper-engraved frontispiece portrait of L Estrange and fine copperplate frontispiece of Aesop. In 1690 John Locke was the first to suggest Aesop as a beginning book for children. Shortly thereafter Tory pamphleteer and onetime Surveyor of the Press Roger L Estrange was commissioned to produce this edition of fables likely the first compiled expressly for children. 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 Muir 24. Simple and somewhat racy in style L Estrange s edition was continuously reprinted helping to popularize both Aesop and the genre of fables among children. The most extensive collection of fables in existence 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. Wing A706. Hodnett Aesop in England 63. A very attractive copy. </b> R. Sare, et al. hardcover

(BINDINGS - SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE). RACKHAM, ARTHUR, Illustrator AESOP
FABLES
London & New York: William Heinemann & Doubleday Page 1912. No. 863 of 1450 SIGNED by Rackham. With an Introduction by G. K. Chesterton. 290 x 227 mm. 11 1/2 x 9". xxix 1 223 1 pp. <br/> SUPERB HONEY-BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT AND INLAID BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with Arts & Crafts-style frame of gilt rules punctuated with inlaid green morocco dots inlaid green morocco Tudor roses at corners with four leafy branches upper cover with gilt titling at head of central panel central gilt-ruled medallion contain the letters "E B" in inlaid blue and green morocco with a collar lettered "XMAS 1912" this surrounded by a wreath of gilt vines and eight inlaid green morocco roses raised bands spine compartments with French fillet frames two panels with gilt lettering turn-ins with multiple gilt rules top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Housed in a felt-lined buckram clamshell box. With 20 full-page black and white illustrations numerous illustrations in the text and 13 COLOR PLATES as called for each mounted on heavy brown stock and protected by lettered tissue guard. Printed on Large Paper. WITH HAND-ILLUMINATED PRESENTATION LEAF BOUND IN: "TO EDMUND" written in burnished gold surrounded by curling leafy vines in blue orange and green "WITH BEST WISHES FOR A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR" written in black ink an ornament below it in colors and gold and "FROM THE BINDERY / XMAS. 1912." in black and red ink at foot. Front pastedown with engraved bookplate of "EMB" and "EWB"; front free endpaper with ex-libris of L. W. Jordan Jr. and with pencilled inscription "To Roxy from Edmund." Hudson p. 169; Latimore and Haskell pp. 38-39. The typical offsetting on free endpapers from binder's glue used for turn-ins very small very faint areas of transfer from acidic mounts used for color plates wherever tissue guard doesn't fully cover a facing leaf other trivial imperfections but still QUITE A LOVELY COPY clean and fresh internally and in an unworn handsome binding.<br/> <br/> In a fine binding by an eminent English workshop this is Rackham's take on the famous fables populated with charming animals anthropomorphized to just the right degree along with wistful maidens ancient crones and some seriously sinister trees. Arthur Rackham 1867-1939 studied art at Lambeth School where the work of his fellow student Charles Ricketts influenced his development. As Houfe says soon after Rackham joined the staff of "The Westminster Budget" in 1892 he began concentrating "on the illustration of books and particularly those of a mystical magic or legendary background. He very soon established himself as one of the foremost Edwardian illustrators and was triumphant in the early 1900s when color printing first enabled him to use subtle tints and muted tones to represent age and timelessness. Rackham's imaginative eye saw all forms with the eyes of childhood and created a world that was half reassuring and half frightening. His sources were primarily Victorian and among them are evidently the works of Cruikshank Doyle Houghton and Beardsley but also the prints of Dürer and Altdorfer." After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912. During that year the firm suffered three major blows: their famously splendid jewelled binding dubbed the "Great Omar" was lost on the Titanic; a few weeks after this accident Francis himself drowned; and Francis' brother Alberto who had been a central figure in producing the firm's vellum illuminated manuscripts went over to Riviere. Despite these losses the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. This special binding was created as a Christmas present and includes a hand-illuminated leaf from the bindery possibly done by Alberto before he moved to Riviere. Such a grand presentation could only have been reserved for a special patron and in this case the "Edmund" would have been Edmund DeWitt Brooks 1866-1919 the substantial bookseller and bibliophile from Minneapolis. The present volume stands as a monument to a very close friendship between Brooks as well as his wife and namesake son on one side of the Atlantic and Sangorski & Sutcliffe on the other. With a special interest in literary works particularly in fine bindings Brooks came to know his supplier through annual book-buying trips abroad see Lee Edmonds Grove's 1945 memoir "Of Brooks & Books" for an account of that relationship. Grove says that the nature of the friendship was so strong that the binders invited Brooks to stay in a specially outfitted room at their premises rather than in a hotel during his London visits. Although our Aesop was inscribed to the father his son Edmund William Brooks 1900-85 so 12 at the time the present volume was signed continued the family connection with Sangorski & Sutcliffe for many years. The "EMB" and "EWB" bookplates belonged to Edmund's wife Edith M. Brooks 1862-1957 and son Edmund who apparently lived together in the family home after the elder Edmund died. Although we don't know the identity of "Roxy" we do know that the "To Roxy from Edmund" inscription is in the same hand as an identical one made--surely by our younger Edmund as printer/publisher--at the front of a copy of "The Book of Ruth" issued in 1934 by the Reed Pale Press that copy being offered for sale in 2022 by Under the Hill Books.

(OFFICINA BODONI). AESOP
THE FABLES OF AESOP. PRINTED FROM THE VERONESE EDITION OF MCCCCLXXIX IN LATIN VERSES AND ITALIAN VERSION BY ACCIO ZUCCO WITH THE WOODCUTS NEWLY ENGRAVED AND COLOURED AFTER A COPY IN THE BRITISH MUSEUM. with THE FIRST THREE BOOKS OF CAXTON'S AESOP
Verona: Officina Bodoni 1973. No. 131 OF 160 COPIES. 255 x 182 mm. 10 x 6 3/8". Two volumes. With an epilogue by Giovanni Mardersteig. <br/> Publisher's stiff vellum backed with green morocco top edges gilt. WITH 68 FINE HAND-COLORED WOODCUTS by Ann Bramanti 66 of these full-page colored via pochoir by Daniel Jacomet to recreate the illuminated miniature effect of the British Library colored copy of the Veronese Aesop of 1479 upon which the present edition is based. Printed on Magnani mouldmade paper with goose watermark. Volume I: the Latin text of the 1479 edition with Italian translation; volume II: the English text based on Caxton's 1482 translation. Prospectus laid in. Mardersteig/Schmoller 182. ◆Vellum grain showing variation as always otherwise in mint condition.<br/> <br/> This beautiful limited edition of Aesop is generally considered to be the finest book from Officina Bodoni and is thought by many to be among the half dozen greatest private press books ever printed. Probably the most important certainly the longest-lived 20th century Continental private press Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig who later changed his first name to Giovanni. Like Sweynheym and Pannartz the first printers in Italy Mardersteig was born in Germany but moved to Italy as an adult and set up his hand press in a small village there. Will Carter has called Mardersteig "probably the finest pressman the world has ever seen or is ever likely to see" and it is difficult to overstate the pleasure derived from the precision of the Officina Bodoni books. Based on a beautiful hand-colored copy of the Aesop of Giovanni Alvise the third printer in Verona the Officina Bodoni Aesop celebrates the golden anniversary of Mardersteig's founding of his press.

[Detmold illus] Aesop
THE FABLES OF AESOP
London: Hodder and Stoughton 1909. First edition. Illustrated with 23 tipped-in color plates by Edward J. Detmold. 4to publisher's original tan cloth the upper cover with an elaborate pictorial decoration of a falcon in red with lettering in green the spine gilt lettered with decorative tool in red. xvi 152 pp. A very nice copy free of the inevitable browning to the endpapers. The binding attractive and sound hinges fine and firm the plates bright and pleasing. A VERY PLEASING COPY AND QUITE SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION. These illustrations represent in our opinion Detmold's very best work. Their grace and sensitivity reflect a certain Eastern sensibility. The artist’s powers in the delicate communication of nature’s spirit are exemplified by these wonderful paintings rich with the wide variety of the colours in the spectrum.
