‎The Tradition of Fine Bookbinding in the Twentieth Century : Catalogue of an Exhibition 1979-1980‎

‎Pittsburgh: Hunt Institute for Botanical Documentation 1979. Well illustrated tall slim quarto pp 129 very clean internally cloth-backed boards very slightly bumped spine very slightly marked otherwise a very good copy. The preface states "The Tradition of Fine Bookbinding in the Twentieth Century" explores the tension that results from modern craftsmen working in a traditional craft. The twentieth century binder must always contend with traditions of binding structure material and cover design and this conflict is compounded when facing the re-binding of an older book. We have attempted to gather representative examples of what we see as the two major divisions of modem binding : the traditional or retrospective approach and the modem design or intuitive approach where the design is intended to be an expressive extension of the book within. Such distinctions are somewhat arbitrary and the binders are even less easily categorized than their bindings. Retrospective bindings need not be restrictively imitative. And binders frequently look to historical styles for inspiration even when creating new designs that reflect the artistic tastes of the twentieth century. The requirements of the book itself should also determine some aspects of the binding. All works of value deserve a careful choice of conservation binding techniques. The exquisite twentieth century livre d'artiste and the primary scientific source of the eighteenth century demand equal respect though different design considerations. Our survey includes selected original examples of major historical styles countered with a variety of twentieth century bindings both modem and retrospective. By grouping the bindings according to style we hope to demonstrate relationships in design and technique which suggest that no modem binder is beyond tradition.". First Edition. Cloth-backed boards.

Hoet and etched by I. van Vianen. Greek text with opposing Latin translation commentary & notes Condition: Vellum slightly soiled; some gatherings are yellowing Note: The Greek poet and scholar Callimachus of Cyrene c. 305 - c. 240 B.C. was given employment at the famous Alexandrian library. There he produced the first scientific literary history. 'It is clear that Callimachus was a poet of great originality and extraordinary refinement. His amazing productivity . was accompanied by bold experimentation in his poetry and a great versatility of style. The scholarly element it is true often adds a frigidity to his verse but the lively personal and realistic touches which appear never allow his writings to degenerate into arid selections of obsure myths'. OCD 2nd ed. p. 195/6 � This edition of the surviving works of Callimachus of 1697 was prepaired by the Dutch scholar Theodorus Georgius Graevius 1669-1692 the promising son of the professor of Classics at the University of Utrecht Johannes Georgius Graevius 1632-1703. The young man died when 23. The book was finished and published posthumously by his mourning father in 1697 with pain in his heart. 'Id non potest non gravissimum rescindere vulnus' he laments in the 'Dedicatio'. Johannes Georgius Graevius Greffe of German descent was the last 42 year of his life a star of the first order which adorned the University of Utrecht. Van der Aa 7353/58 & Van der Aa 7358. The young man the father tells in the 'praefatio' was fascinated by Callimachus and he was planning an edition of that poet with his own notes and commentary and that of others. Alas an immature death took away the young man's hopes and promisses but still he left his Callimachus finished. 'Non infrequenter' had he also corrected the Latin translation. When the German scholar Ezechiel Spanheim 1629-1710 heard that the father was preparing the posthumous edition he sent him all he had written about Callimachus. His 'In Callimachi Hymnos observationes' fill the second volume of the set. The fame of Graevius also enticed the 'splendissimum Britanniae lumen' Richard Bentley 1662-1742 to send him old and new material emendations and notes he had on Callimachus in his portfolio.
