rif. 71333New York: Alfred A. Knopf 2022. First editions first printings in publisher's slipcase. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. From the library of the late Santa Fe bookseller Nicholas Potter a long-time friend of Cormac McCarthy. Both volumes are signed by the author on publisher’s tipped-in pages: The Passenger in blue ink and Stella Maris in black ink. Laid into the first volume are two small memo notes in Potter’s hand providing a record of the set's rarity: "This is one of the two copies of the boxed signed edition that Dorothy Massey proprietor of Santa Fe’s Collected Works Bookstore got in the "lottery" for them. Collected Works was one of hundreds of bookstores that tried to order them. Probably fewer than 500 were signed. Dorothy gave it to me." 383; 189 pp. Two octavo volumes 24 cm. Publisher’s blue and red paper-covered boards respectively; titles gilt-stamped to spines. First edition clearly stated on the copyright pages. In the original illustrated dust jackets with prices and date codes intact. Housed in the publisher's decorative pictorial paper-covered slipcase with the original paper label tipped-on the rear panel. All elements are Near Fine; bright square clean copies showing only the faintest hints of shelfwear or handling. This set documents a direct connection within the Santa Fe book trade having been gifted from Dorothy Massey to Nicholas Potter. The signatures are provided on the publisher’s tipped-in pages with provenance established by a laid-in note in Potter’s hand. This note identifies the volumes as a gift from Massey proprietor of Collected Works establishing a professional association that distinguishes this set from typical signed issues. It stands as a physical record of the professional network and relationships that supported McCarthy’s work in New Mexico for four decades. Alfred A. Knopf published The Passenger on October 25 2022 followed by Stella Maris on December 6 2022. This slipcased boxed set was released concurrently with the second volume and contains both first-edition hardcovers. These signed sets were distributed via a highly restricted "lottery" to select bookstores; it is estimated that only 500 such sets were produced. As McCarthy declined public appearances for these final titles these tipped-in pages represent rare "officially" signed copies of his final works. McCarthy passed away in June 2023—scarcely six months after the final volume's release—marking these as the last works published during his lifetime. Conceived as a profound late-career diptych The Passenger and Stella Maris constitute Cormac McCarthy’s final novels. The first volume follows Bobby Western a salvage diver contending with his father’s legacy on the Manhattan Project and the suicide of his sister Alicia. Its companion Stella Maris is a psychiatric transcript recording Alicia’s own struggle with mathematics and hallucination. Eschewing conventional linear plotting the pairing serves as a rigorous inquiry into the "unshareable" nature of reality and the constraints of human knowledge. Alfred A. Knopf hardcover

rif. 71330London: Picador 2006. First U.K. edition first printing. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. One of only 200 copies issued with a bookplate signed in black ink by Cormac McCarthy mounted to the title page. These bookplates were signed specifically for this first Picador edition and distributed via the British retailer Waterstones. From the library of the late Santa Fe bookseller and McCarthy associate Nicholas Potter. Laid in is Potter's original invoice and purchase receipt from Nicholas & Helen Burrows booksellers Surrey/London UK dated 20-Nov-06. 241 pp. Octavo 24 cm. Publisher’s black paper-covered boards with silver stamping to the spine. Original pictorial dust jacket with the "£16.99" price intact. A bright square and clean copy. The inclusion of the signed bookplate at the title page is notably scarce. A short note in Potter's hand is also laid in: "w/signed Bookplate tipped in. October 2006. Cormac told me he would not sign this book title so it is rare signed even if it is on a bookplate." Throughout a friendship spanning forty years Nicholas Potter’s Santa Fe bookstore served as a frequent destination for McCarthy where the two shared a rapport rooted in their mutual appreciation of literature art music and history. This volume represents a vital fragment of that connection. Pulitzer Prize-winning and austere The Road is a harrowing odyssey and a testament to paternal devotion. Set in an ash-covered wasteland the narrative depicts a father and son navigating a landscape of predatory cannibals among the ruins of civilization. Refining the sparse prose of his late career into minimalist parable McCarthy captures the endurance of hope in the face of total environmental collapse. The work was adapted into a film directed by John Hillcoat and starring Viggo Mortensen. Picador hardcover

(Reggio Emilia, 1474 - Ferrara, 1533) "ORLANDO FURIOSO". 1795, Parigi, P. Plessan. 4 volumes in-fol. (323x245 mm) (dimensions pages 313x237 mm) I: (1) f.

Filet doré sur les coupes et dentelle intérieure dorée. Tranches dorées. Gardes de papier décoré. "L'Orlando furioso è un poema cavalleresco in ottave, a schema ABABABCC, strutturato su 46 canti, per un totale di 38.736 versi nell'edizione definitiva del 1532. Vi sono infatti due edizioni precedenti, scritte con una lingua più popolare e rozza. In particolare, una prima redazione dell'Orlando furioso, in 40 canti, era stata redatta nel 1515 e venne pubblicata nel 1516. La seconda edizione uscì nel 1521, caratterizzata da una lieve revisione linguistica. L'opera ha una trama molto stratificata che si sviluppa sostanzialmente su tre narrazioni principali: quella militare, costituita dalla guerra tra paladini, difensori della religione cristiana, e i saraceni infedeli; quella amorosa, incentrata sula fuga di Angelica e sulla pazzia di Orlando, e infine quella encomiastica, con cui si lodava la grandezza dei duchi d'Este, dedicata invece alle vicende amorose tra la cristiana Bradamante e il saraceno Ruggiero. L'Orlando furioso si propone come il naturale prosieguo dell'Orlando innamorato di Matteo Maria Boiaro; Ariosto continuò la narrazione proprio dove Boiardo la interruppe, facendo evolvere la vicenda amorosa tra Angelica e Orlando che, a causa del rifiuto dell'amata, diviene furioso, pazzo per amore".

Front pastedown with FULL-PAGE HAND-PAINTED EX-LIBRIS OF JOHANNES SALICETUS WIDENER: his ink inscription at head of page above a shield painted yellow with curling ink leaves around the perimeter dominated by a bearded young man in red shirt and tights standing astride three brown hillocks one hand on his hip the other holding three stalks of wheat a ink-drawn homunculus at the foot of the page his head sprouting what appear to be two antennae the later blue ink stamp of F T E beside this. First work: USTC 694128; VD16 694130. Second work: 694130; VD16 For the binding: EBDB workshop w002792; EBDB roll r001326 similar to saints roll but dated 1547 and with slightly different Latin mottos. Pigskin somewhat soiled and rubbed title page of first work tipped onto 2 leaves lightly browned due to paper quality with intermittent foxing and occasional mostly trivial stains and smudges final leaf with a two-inch to half-inch triangular piece torn away from the upper half of the fore edge affecting a total of perhaps 80 or 100 words. Still a copy featuring a binding with antique appeal and considerable interest in terms of provenance see below. Offered in its original blind-stamped pigskin binding this imposing collection of Counter-Reformation sermons by an influential preacher is of special interest because of the impressively large hand-painted ex-libris at the front. The two groups of sermons bound together here were written by Johann Wild 1497-1554 a Franciscan who was educated at Cologne and who served as the Domprediger official cathedral preacher at Mainz Cathedral. Wild's sermons were very popular and it has been suggested that they played a significant role in keeping Mainz Catholic at a time when many surrounding cities were converting to Lutheranism. Despite his being a Catholic hero for a time Wild later became a controversial figure in the Church: many of his works eventually faced posthumous censure even being placed on the Vatican's Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the grounds that they might invite scriptural misinterpretation. Our copy was owned by a second German Counter-Reformation figure Johannes Salicetus i.e. Johann Wideman whose exuberantly large hand-painted ex-libris takes up nearly the entire front pastedown. Salicetus was rector at the University of Ingolstadt which had become a bastion of Catholic thought in Southern Germany under the leadership of theologian Johann Eck 1486-1543 an outspoken Luther opponent. A relative and very close friend of Eck Salicetus composed Eck's eulogy USTC 698476 as well as a marital poem for his son Oswald USTC 2213477. The enormous bookplate is apparently a coat of arms and features a particularly proud central figure posing staunchly in a very red suit with a prominent codpiece and holding three stalks of wheat. While this peculiarly emphatic expression of ownership is surely not unprecedented we have never owned a book with provenance shown in quite such a dramatic fashion. druckts Franz Behem, [Arnold Birckmann (I) (heirs of)] unknown

Pigskin somewhat soiled and rubbed title page of first work tipped onto 2 leaves lightly browned due to paper quality with intermittent foxing and occasional mostly trivial stains and smudges final leaf with a two-inch to half-inch triangular piece torn away from the upper half of the fore edge affecting a total of perhaps 80 or 100 words. Still a copy featuring a binding with antique appeal and considerable interest in terms of provenance see below. Offered in its original blind-stamped pigskin binding this imposing collection of Counter-Reformation sermons by an influential preacher is of special interest because of the impressively large hand-painted ex-libris at the front. The two groups of sermons bound together here were written by Johann Wild 1497-1554 a Franciscan who was educated at Cologne and who served as the Domprediger official cathedral preacher at Mainz Cathedral. Wild's sermons were very popular and it has been suggested that they played a significant role in keeping Mainz Catholic at a time when many surrounding cities were converting to Lutheranism. Despite his being a Catholic hero for a time Wild later became a controversial figure in the Church: many of his works eventually faced posthumous censure even being placed on the Vatican's Index Librorum Prohibitorum on the grounds that they might invite scriptural misinterpretation. Our copy was owned by a second German Counter-Reformation figure Johannes Salicetus i.e. Johann Wideman whose exuberantly large hand-painted ex-libris takes up nearly the entire front pastedown. Salicetus was rector at the University of Ingolstadt which had become a bastion of Catholic thought in Southern Germany under the leadership of theologian Johann Eck 1486-1543 an outspoken Luther opponent. A relative and very close friend of Eck Salicetus composed Eck's eulogy USTC 698476 as well as a marital poem for his son Oswald USTC 2213477. The enormous bookplate is apparently a coat of arms and features a particularly proud central figure posing staunchly in a very red suit with a prominent codpiece and holding three stalks of wheat. While this peculiarly emphatic expression of ownership is surely not unprecedented we have never owned a book with provenance shown in quite such a dramatic fashion. druckts Franz Behem, [Arnold Birckmann (I) (heirs of)] unknown books
