[Design Binding] [Botelho, Camille] Guillevic; lithographs by Julius Baltazar; English translation by Joshua Watsky
Encore le Temps Time Again
New Haven: Editions Wequetequock Cove 2006. Full Leather. Fine binding. Small folio 8.5" x 7". 32 pp. illus. Limited edition number 23 of 50 copies. Signed by Baltazar and Watsky. This copy sewn on meeting guards with silk endbands. Bound in dyed calf and finished with recessed stone veneer over sheep skiver dyed calf inlays and onlays as well as onlays in lizard. Subtly titled in blind across one of the onlays at the spine. Paper doublures with dyed calf hinges. <br /> <br /> Botehlo writes of this book being "filled with etchings of heavy lined and voluptuous shapes with textures and shade all done in black. The poetry evoked for me the verdancy of rogue plants that spring up between the cracks of concrete. It spoke of the appeal of being a snake allusions to original sin. I wanted the green onlays that have been dyed and embossed to be pillowed the stone inviting touch. I intended to create something that invites a sensory exploration." And here she has succeeded with astonishing grace creating a design that draws and keeps the attention. Wonderfully conceived and executed with exceptional skill. Botelho is among a select group of extraordinary design binders who are graduates from the American Academy of Bookbinding Fine Binding program. Editions Wequetequock Cove unknown

With prominent darkening to the spine and large areas of the wraps. Translated for the first time from Greek into French with an introduction and notes by Paul ver Eecke. Collection de Travaux de l'Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences No. 1.<br /> <br /> Euclid flourished c. 300 bce Alexandria Egypt was the foremost mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity. Not much is known about his life. He is most known for his treatise on geometry the "Elements."<br /> <br /> "Euclid understood that building a logical and rigorous geometry and mathematics depends on the foundation—a foundation that Euclid began in Book I with 23 definitions such as 'a point is that which has no part' and 'a line is a length without breadth' five unproved assumptions that Euclid called postulates now known as axioms and five further unproved assumptions that he called common notions. Book I then proves elementary theorems about triangles and parallelograms and ends with the Pythagorean theorem." - Britannica.com. Desclée de Brouwer et Cie paperback

Tartuffe
San Francisco: The Arion Press 2004. Limited Edition. Hardcover. New. Hamilton William. Folio 14 7/9" by 11" 120 pages. The type is 16-point Van Dijck in Monotype composition by Mackenzie & Harris for the text with larger sizes handset for display and an ornamental type Fontanesi for the title an initial letter and act numbers. The names of characters are separated from the dialogue by a wavy rule. The rule running heads folios decorative type and speeches repeated in larger type beneath the illustrations are printed in burgundy ink. The illustrations were printed from photopolymer plates. The paper is Arches a French mould-made sheet. The binding done in-house is hand-sewn in full burgundy moiré satin with gold titling on the spine and front cover and a protective mylar jacket. Edition of 300 numbered copies plus 26 lettered copies hors de commerce signed by the translator and illustrator. The course to publication of this book took many turns. It was first suggested by our literary agent Fred Hill who put Hoyem in touch with his friend Brian Bedford a distinguished actor who specializes in Molière comedies. <br /> <br /> Photographs of a current production of "Tartuffe" proved impossible to obtain as illustrations. While waiting for another idea for the art Hoyem got in touch with the poet Richard Wilbur who had made an excellent translation of the play in rhymed verse and obtained permission to use it. Then William Hamilton the "New Yorker" cartoonist came to mind. Hoyem had met Hamilton in 1978 and admired his liquid line and quick capturing of character and expression in his send-ups of WASPs. But could he do period costumes Hamilton made seven charming drawings with the main characters in period dress and the servants in modern dress. <br /> <br /> To celebrate the publication the Arion staff presented a staged reading from the play directed by veteran actress and director Joy Carlin. Bruce Bolt an eminent seismologist at the University of California Berkeley and an amateur actor took a matronly role wearing a skirt with an elastic waistband borrowed from his wife. <br /> <br /> This was the fifth volume in our drama series. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

[Plowboy Press] Aelfric | English translation by W R Johnson
Aelfric's Colloquy
East Burke VT: Plowboy Press 2010. Wrappers. Fine binding. Oblong octavo. 2 58 4 pp. Limited edition one of 100 numbered copies. Printed letterpress by Andrew Miller-Brown at the Janus Press in black red and brown in Palatino and Gill Sans. The text and glosses are in Latin Old English and English. Bound as issued sewn longstitch into Gray Flax Canal from Papeterie Saint Armand and housed in a shellacked wooden slipcase. A fine copy. <br /> <br /> Aelfric's Colloquy was written in England around the year 1000 to teach novice monks conversational Latin. Unusual among instructive texts it takes the form of a dialogue between tradespeople and laborers about whose work is the most important each highlighting their trade's necessity and often bemoaning its difficulties. Amidst this dialogue there is discussion outlining the way in which there is coordination between trades to form a functioning social structure—teaching Latin and civics simultaneously. In this regard the colloquy offers important insight into Anglo-Saxon society. The new translation by W.R. Johnson is arranged between the original Latin and an early Old English gloss presenting the text line by line in three languages. Miller-Brown has composed the book so that the dialog takes place across each page spread question and answer from left to right a quality that makes each spread varied and visually engaging. <br /> <br /> It was announced in March 2012 that Aelfric's Colloquy was one of two runners-up for the thirteenth Carl Hertzog Award for Excellence in Book Design. One judge of the competition Bryce Milligan of Wings Press said "Obviously a work in homage to a beloved text Aelfric's Colloquy reflects the age and culture of Aelfric in its external design the texture and color of the cover recalling rough woolen monk’s robes and the handmade box feeling very much like the consciously un-ornate wooden book covers of a monastic library's most used texts. Both lend gravity to what some today might consider a slight text but which really has a long and important legacy. The typography and layout echo the unusually spacious original manuscript and its tri-lingual text is an expansion of the interlinear glosses of the original. Finally the occasional and judicious use of color adds just the right amount of almost inexplicable levity similar to that which one finds peeking through Aelfric's text. Plowboy Press unknown

[The Bekker - Translation of Homer's Ilias and Odyssee] - [Homer] Bekker, Immanuel
Carmina Homerica - Volumen Prius: Ilias / Volumen Altertum: Odyssea Odyssey.
1858. Bonn Apud Adolphum Marcum 1858. Octavo. VI 594 pages / 480 pages. Hardcover / Original 19th century half-vellum with marbled-paper-covered boards. Bookseller-Sticker of William McGee College Bookseller - 18 Nassau Street - Dublin to the pastedowns of both Volumes. Both bindings with staining and wear. The Odyssey - Volume with minor split to lower spine. Interior in excellent condition besides an occasional appearance of a fainted dampstain. August Immanuel Bekker 21 May 1785 7 June 1871 was a German philologist and critic. Born in Berlin Bekker completed his classical education at the University of Halle under Friedrich August Wolf who considered him as his most promising pupil. In 1810 he was appointed professor of philosophy in the University of Berlin. For several years between 1810 and 1821 he travelled in France Italy England and parts of Germany examining classical manuscripts and gathering materials for his great editorial labours. Some of the fruits of his researches were published in the Anecdota Graeca 3 vols 18141821 but the major results are to be found in the enormous array of classical authors edited by him. Anything like a complete list of his works would occupy too much space but it may be said that his industry extended to nearly the whole of Greek literature with the exception of the tragedians and lyric poets. His best known editions are those of Plato 18161823 Oratores Attici 18231824 Aristotle 18311836 Aristophanes 1829 and twenty-five volumes of the Corpus Scriptorum Historiae Byzantinae. The only Latin authors edited by him were Livy 18291830 and Tacitus 1831. Bekker confined himself entirely to manuscript investigations and textual criticism; he contributed little to the extension of other types of scholarship. Bekker numbers have become the standard way of referring to the works of Aristotle and the Corpus Aristotelicum. He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1861. He died in Berlin aged 86. Wikipedia hardcover
