Ils grandissent ensemble dans la maison royale, mais lorsqu'ils tombent amoureux, les parents de la jeune femme tentent de mettre fin à leur romance en la vendant à des marchands qui l'emmèneront à Alexandrie pour la faire entrer dans un harem. Florio, sous le pseudonyme de Filocopo, la sauve et l'épouse. Il se convertit au christianisme et ils rentrent en Andalousie, où il monte sur le trône et convertit son peuple au christianisme.

Decameron.

1925ref. 164153New York: Boni & Liveright 1925. With Tice's original etchings First Tice edition signed limited issue this copy uniquely if erratically illustrated with the issued halftone plates replaced with Tice's original hand-captioned etchings and three of Tice's expurgated illustrations in two states one of which not called for in the list of illustrations. This is number 334 of 2000 copies signed by the publisher this copy is unusual in being also signed by Tice. Several of the explicit erotic illustrations Tice produced for this work were deemed too risqué for general publication and Tice was asked to redraw them for the final edition; some of them were never issued. This set includes three of these ribald plates alongside their censored replacements. We were able to trace only one other set with a number of these illustrations included though in that copy they were halftone reproductions rather than original etchings as here. A deluxe issue of 12 sets with etchings was also produced and we have traced only one copy of it in auction records. The etchings in this set are hand-captioned by Tice with page numbers that differ from both their location and the printed illustration list suggesting that they may have been produced for Tice's own reference when working on the book's production. The set is accompanied by a suite of the removed halftone illustrations and a second set of 22 of the 48 illustrations as etchings these uncaptioned excepting one captioned p. 36. One of the etchings is in two states: one with Tice's pencil signature the other with the signature engraved. Clara Tice 1888-1973 was a notorious New York bohemian artist known as "the Queen of Greenwich Village". She was according to the New York Times the first woman in New York to bob her hair and she began exhibiting her work there from 1910 rising to prominence in 1915 when the Society for the Prevention of Vice attempted to confiscate her works which were on show at the bohemian restaurant Polly's. "Tice was apparently so highly regarded and so instantly recognizable as one of those 'queer artists' that her role in the first Greenwich Village Follies was simply to play herself. As 'Clara' she stepped out onto the stage at the appointed time outfitted in one of her typically bizarre bohemian ensembles and conducted a 'quick chalk talk of nudes bees and butterflies'" Keller p. 429. Throughout the 1920s she contributed to Vanity Fair and other magazines and illustrated several books such as this with her softly erotic illustrations. 2 vols quarto. halftone frontispieces 2 halftone plates 48 etched plates the majority hand-captioned by Tice of which 3 are in two states. Folding box with 22 additional etchings and 44 halftone illustrations. Original black cloth spines lettered in gilt covers blocked in blind front covers with gilt oval portrait of Boccaccio as centrepiece yapp edges largely uncut. Additional etchings and halftone illustrations in a repurposed green leather folding box labelled "Balzac's Droll Stories". Spines uniformly faded cloth lightly rubbed couple of corners worn splits to inner hinges remaining firm occasional browning or faint marks to margins generally clean with the plates in strong impression. A very good copy. Marie T. Keller "Clara Tice 'Queen of Greenwich Village'" Women in Dada ed. by Naomi Sawelson-Gorse 2001. hardcover

1614ref. 35097Venetia: Appresso Alessandro Vecchi 1614. An excellent and early Venetian edition of Boccaccio's masterpiece. Illustrated with an engraved title-page engraved head- and tailpieces an engraved portrait of Boccaccio and 109 engraved illustrations throughout historiated multi-line capital letters throughout. Quarto 20.5 x 15 cm. handsomely bound in contemporary Italian vellum the spine with gilt titling to the tan coloured lettering label. 28 603 pp. A beautiful copy without any repairs or sophistication at all. The text-block is clean and crisp the illustrations are all in good order the binding is tight and strong and shows only very minimal evidence of use or wear. An occasional flaw to the paper originating with the printer and a very few marks from damp typical and not affecting the quality of the copy. AN IMPORTANT PRINTING OF BOCCACCIO'S MASTERPIECE. The 1614 edition of Giovanni Boccaccio’s Il Decameron published by Alessandro Vecchi in Venice is a notable printing of the famous 14th-century text highly valued today by rare book collectors and literary historians. This printing utilizes the famous linguistic revision edited by Lionardo Salviati which was originally published in 1582. Following the Catholic Church's censorship and banning of the Decameron in the mid-16th century Salviati provided the avenue to preserving Boccaccio’s celebrated Tuscan prose style. The edition features 109 woodcut illustrations embedded directly within the text. Rather than cutting entirely new blocks Vecchi reused the highly regarded Renaissance woodcuts originally crafted for Gabriel Giolito’s 1546 edition which was famous for its visual storytelling. To introduce the readers to each section each individual novella begins with an engraved vignette with an additional prominent illustration highlighting the beginning of the tenth day. The title page features the distinct printer's device belonging to Alessandro Vecchi's Venetian workshop. During this era Venice was the printing capital of Europe and printers like Vecchi found great commercial success by combining popular texts with woodblocks from previous decades. Vecchi actually published a few iterations of this specific setup over the years—including printings in 1597 and 1602—making the 1614 edition part of a successful multi-decade run of Boccaccio's masterpieces The result found in Vecchi's 1614 printing is a fascinating historical artifact: a Decameron that remains delightfully scandalous and linguistically beautiful but one where the Catholic Church’s authority has been thoroughly protected from Boccaccio's sharpest wit.

LE DECAMERON DE JEAN BOCCACE

1757ref. ST20210Londres i.e. Paris: Prault 1757-61. 205 x 132 mm. 8 x 5 1/4". Five volumes. Translated by Antoine Jean Le Maçon. LOVELY INDIGO CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY DAVID stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with French fillet border raised bands spine compartments with intricate central fleuron and scrolling cornerpieces gilt lettering turn-ins with multiple decorative rolls marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Housed in a maroon buckram chemise in a matching morocco-backed slipcase. Engraved illustrated title page in each volume 110 engraved chapter headings and 205 ENGRAVED ILLUSTRATIONS BY GRAVELOT AND OTHERS 110 of these plates and 95 tailpiece vignettes. A Large Paper Copy. Cohen-de Ricci 160-61; Ray 15; Furstenberg 26. A couple of boards with trivial chafing isolated faint foxing occasional minor marginal smudges touching text on a couple of pages but A VERY FINE SET clean and fresh internally with spacious margins and in sparkling bindings with virtually no signs of wear. This is an elegantly bound and unusually well-preserved copy of one of the most famous and charming illustrated books of the 18th century a work frequently regarded as the supreme example of refined libertine illustration of the period. Owen Holloway calls it one of the four masterpieces of book illustration at the end of the Rococo period. Ray too is expansive in his praise calling the work simply "one of the masterpieces of the illustrated book." The publisher first released this work in Italian in 1757 with the present edition following later the same year. Although he had as collaborators on this work some of the outstanding French artists of the 18th century Gravelot born Hubert-François-Bourguignon 1699-1773 was chiefly responsible for its production designing 89 of its 111 plates and all 97 of its immensely delightful tailpieces. In this the most ambitious undertaking of his career Gravelot gave Boccaccio's narrative the settings and costumes of 18th century France and this transposition Ray tells us "made it possible for him to exercise his special talent for depicting the social world around him. For the most part his figures are young the women graceful and pretty the men lithe and handsome." But "all levels of life are presented from the peasant in his hovel to the king in his palace. Every variety of interior is there from boudoirs and bedrooms to dining rooms and salons. Animated street scenes alternate with glimpses of gardens and farms forests and river banks. The human condition has rarely been so attractively displayed." Our copy is particularly pleasing: it is in fine condition with wide generous margins and was bound in rich indigo morocco by David. Parisian binder Bernard David 1824-95 worked under Pfister Dompierre Lortic and Gruel before striking out on his own to establish a very high reputation in the trade. His bindery was taken over by his son Salvador in 1890. Prault] unknown
