‎CARAVAGGIO AND PICTORIAL NARRATIVE, Dislocating the Istoria in Early Modern Painting‎

‎Hardcover, VII 654 p., 0 b/w ill. 336 colour ill., 225 x 300 mm, . ISBN 9781905375486. "Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art" (Charles Dempsey, The Johns Hopkins University) A very important part of Caravaggio?s production consists of pictorial narratives, mostly religious. Thus, according to early modern aesthetics, Caravaggio practiced the artistic genre of the istoria: the most discussed and thoroughly defined pictorial institution of his time. Unanimously, seventeenth-century artists and art theorists censored and condemned Caravaggio?s art for its numerous deficiencies and faults in regard to the principles of the istoria. In spite of all these testimonies, Caravaggio?s innovations in and misuses of the techniques specific to early modern pictorial narrative have never been systematically studied, debated, and put into historical perspective. In this volume, Lorenzo Pericolo argues that Caravaggio?s multiple experimentations with the traditional devices of the istoria not only represent the core of an unprecedented "poetics of dislocation," but also unsettled, dismantled, and expanded the scope of pictorial narrative in ways that would have redefined and deeply transformed the concept of painting and artistic creation, had Caravaggio?s enterprise not have been ferociously criticized and stigmatized as both aberrant and defective. To solidly establish the importance and groundbreaking charge of Caravaggio?s work, Pericolo examines the notion of Leon Battista Alberti?s istoria as interpreted and developed by early modern artists and theorists?from Leonardo to Vasari, from Lomazzo to Poussin, and from Michelangelo to Bellori?in vast surveys in which the concepts of diachrony, duration, eurythmy, propriety, verisimilitude, and pictorial truth? among others?are carefully examined on a theoretical and practical level. By analyzing the paintings of Caravaggio?s followers such as Cecco del Caravaggio, Battistello Caracciolo, Valentin de Boulogne and, not least, Diego Velazquez, Pericolo explores how Caravaggio?s innovations in the domain of pictorial narrative were variously construed, elaborated upon, and brought to fruition in the aftermath of the master?s death in 1610, thereby offering a critical explanation of the implosion and extinction of the Caravaggesque movement in the 1630s. Among the flood of recent books devoted to Caravaggio, whose popularity now stands at the zenith, Lorenzo Pericolo?s profound and passionate study stands out for its sensitive and learned presentation of an argument that is both historically true and critically revealing to present-day sensibilities. Thoroughly at home in the vast literature devoted to Baroque art in general and to Caravaggio in particular, Pericolo also brings to his subject an unrivaled understanding of modern theoretical techniques on the one hand, and, on the other, an unrivaled mastery of seventeenth-century artistic theory, profoundly based in Aristotelian poetics and in rhetorical techniques. Through extended close readings of Caravaggio?s paintings, arranged in roughly chronological order, Pericolo brilliantly teases out the theoretical and practical choices that confronted Caravaggio, and that further determined reception of his work, both in the positive and negative senses, by highly sophisticated contemporary audiences. Beyond this, Pericolo is a remarkably sensitive guide to Caravaggio?s expression of profound, wrenching and often painful, emotions caught in eternal suspension, the sources of both his contemporaries? discomfort and our own, modern, recognition and appreciation. Truly a distinguished achievement, this book is required reading for general readers as well as specialists in the history of art.‎

‎PERTHES & BESSER, publishers & booksellers‎

‎Verzeichniss der in den letzten vier Jahren in England und Frankreich erschienenen vorzüglichsten Bücher‎

‎152 pp. 8vo orig. pink printed wrappers bound in attractive modern marbled wrappers. From the upper wrapper: “Perthes & Besser Buchhandlung Hamburg 1816.â€<br/> <br/> Following a nine-year apprenticeship Friedrich Christoph Perthes 1772-1843 established his own book business in 1796. Two years later he entered into a partnership with his brother-in-law Johann Heinrich Besser 1775-1826. They soon became one of the leading publishing and bookselling firms of northern Germany. During the Napoleonic period Perthes experienced many difficulties caused by his public resistance to French influences and was forced to leave Hamburg.<br/> <br/> This remarkable priced catalogue lists about 3000 books published in Britain and France from 1812 to 1816; it is quite incredible to imagine the quality and range of the stock of foreign books held by Perthes & Besser. Pages 1-77 list the British books; pages 81-149 the French books and pages 150-52 list about 60 books published in North America including Lewis and Clark’s recently issued History. Perthes & Besser also sold British scholarly journals.<br/> <br/> Rare; WorldCat lists one copy in North America. unknown‎

‎Philip Dosse (1925-1980), proprietor of Hansom Books, publishers of a stable of seven arts magazines including 'Books and Bookme‎

‎Philip Dosse proprietor of Hansom Books publishers of a stable of arts magazines. Six items including corrected typescript by Dosse himself endorsing ‘Books and Bookmen’ and corrected draft of a press release on its merger with Argosy.‎

‎Two items on merger with Argosy dating from 1974 both from IPC Magazines Ltd London. The other material also from the 1970s. An elusive figure Dosse is certainly a candidate for a full-length study. The novelist Sally Emerson gives an excellent account of her time as editor of ‘Books and Bookmen’ in its last days in an article titled ‘Death of a Bookman’ Standpoint magazine October 2018. These six items are in good condition lightly aged and worn. ONE: 2pp foolscap 8vo second page numbered. Complete rough draft of typed letter with manuscript corrections endorsing ‘Books and Bookmen’. Although ending ‘Yours faithfully’ the identity of the author address date and other details are absent and there is a strong possibility that Dosse wrote the letter himself in the hope of getting a prominent contributor to sign it. Another possibility is that it is by Dosse's friend Auberon Waugh see Item Seven below. It begins without preamble: ‘I hardly know Mr Philip Dosse although I am an occasional contributor to his Books & Bookmen and extremely flattered to appear in a constellation of talent which is quite extraordinary. No one who has made any sort of study of for example the May and June issues of Books and Bookmen can fail to be astonished by the diversity of talent which its editor is able to attract to the exclusive attention of new books. I do not believe that any other English language review of books and dedicated to this one purpose comes within any competitive distance. Enoch Powell may to many be an objectionable politician but his review of the Crossman Diaries extending to some 6000 words over two issues is of an unequalled fascination. Auberon Waugh is invariably at his most controversial and best and what other journal could bring together the diversities of A. L. Rowse H. J. Eysenck Lord Egremont Lord Butler Diana Mosley and dozens of others writing about books and experiences they are all uniquely qualified to deal with. It is not an exercise likely to be approved by your odd Mr Oates but it is extraordinarily diverting and valuable for most.’ Regarding Dosse’s six other titles the author of the letter notes that he has ‘at no time asked for nor ever received one penny of subsidy from the Arts Council almost the whole of whose field Messrs Hansom Books keep under stimulating review’. Turning to publishing revenue he points out that ‘Books and Bookmen’ ‘receives almost no sustenance at all from the publishers for whose wares it so brilliantly caters’. The advertising revenue is ‘trivial’ and ‘much of it I have ascertained is sponsored for one generous reason or another by Mr Dosse himself’. The author asserts that ‘for the whole of my years in publishing I cannot recall a time when the absence of such a journal as Books & Bookmen was not deplored. In distant days thousands of pounds every week were largely wasted by enormous advertising expenditures in the Sundays.’ The letter concludes: ‘I know nothing at all about the finances of Hansom Books in general or Books & Bookmen in particular and Mr Dosse may well regard these comments as impertinent interference. But for the life of me I cannot understand why publishers should expect the continuance for ever of a brilliant monthly such as Books & Bookmen has become if they are to extend no advertising support. It seems to me if I may venture to say so a quite extraordinary neglect and a rather disgraceful one.’ TWO: Duplicated typed press release headed ‘PUBLISHERS ANNOUNCEMENTS’ with three manuscript emendations. 1p foolscap 8vo. No date or place but from 1974. Begins: ‘ARGOSY is to merge with the literary monthly BOOKS AND BOOKMEN to combine in a joint publication to be called BOOKS AND BOOKMEN & ARGOSY. The first issue of the combined monthly will be dated 1974 and published early in that month. A long list of Books & Bookmen’s ‘distinguished writers’ is given. ‘The publishers of BOOKS & BOOKMEN believe that the readers of ARGOSY will enjoy the great variety which it offers - there is something for all tastes.’ The text continues with practical details of cost and subscription with details of the ‘new publisher’ Hansom Books. THREE: TLS to Dosse from ‘S. L. Johnson / Publisher’ 3 January 1974 on letterhead of IPC Magazines Ltd London. Discussing the practical details of the handover: ‘wholesalers’ packing lists’ ‘subscription material’ advertisements and manuscripts. FOUR: Duplicated copy of TLS to unnamed party from ‘C. H. F. Vincent / Head of U.K. Sales’ 3 January 1974 on IPC Sales Department letterhead. Announcing the acquisition of Argosy by Hansom Books. FIVE: Duplicated copy of printed alphabetical list of around 200 writers’ names in three columns from Peter Ackroyd to Lord Zuckerman headed ‘books and bookmen contributors have included’. Publication details are given at the foot. SIX: Photocopy of what looks like a passport photograph enlarged to 11 x 13.5 cm headed in type ‘PHILIP DOSSE’. A balding and lugubrious middle-aged man in jacket and tie. SEVEN: Duplicated printed twenty-three line biography of Dosse beginning ‘Philip Dosse 1925-1980 began his working life as an office boy in a printing company and it was in 1949 when working in the advertising department of a newspaper that he founded his first magazine Dance and Dancers’. Ends: ‘Sadly the magazines ran into financial difficulties in 1980 and ceased trading after 30 years of publication. The devoted Dosse whose leadership was described as ‘idiosyncratic’ he kept revenue and circulation figures a secret even from the magazines’ editors although the total circulation was understood to be around 45000 was left devastated by the closure. Attempts to find a buyer proved unsuccessful and Dosse tragically took his own life on 8th September 1980. He had only a few close friends and led a very private personal life living alone in London following the death of his mother several years previously.’ Previously it is noted that ‘Dosse formed a friendship wtih some of his contributors engaging in lengthy correspondence with Harold Acton Christina Foyle and Auberon Waugh among others. Indeed Dosse exchanged letters weekly with Waugh between 1972 and 1980. These letters typically controversial and satiric make entertaining reading.’ Two items on merger with Argosy dating from 1974, both from IPC Magazines Ltd, London. The other material also from the 1970s. unknown‎
