1772pp. (2), 352. Cancellans at A2 & H3. 4to. [295 x 230 mm.] Printed on Baskerville's fine, smooth Writing Royal paper. Worn full contemporary mottled calf. All edges decorated red. Caius Valerius Catullus (Ca. 84-54 B.C.), Roman poet, born in Verona, of a well-to-do family. He went to Rome (62 B.C.) where he fell deeply in love, probably with Clodia, sister of Cicero's opponent Publ us Clodius. She was suspected of murdering her husband. Catullus wrote to his beloved, addressed as Lesbia (to recall Sappho of Lesbos), a series of superb little poems that run from early passion and tenderness to the hatred and disillusionment that overwhelmed him after his mistress was faithless. His works include, besides the Lesbia poems, poems to his young friend Juventius; epigrams, ranging from the genial to the obscenely derisive; elegies; a few long poems, notably "Attis" and a nuptial poem honoring Thetis and Peleus; and various short pieces. His satire is vigorous and flexible, his light poems joyful and full-bodied. He was influenced by the Alexandrians and drew much on the Greeks for form and meter, but his genius outran all models. Catullus is one of the greatest lyric poet s of all time. John Baskerville (1706-1775) was the greatest printer of his era. Born in Wolverley, Hereford - Worcester, England, he became a writing master in Birmingham. He also carried on a successful japanning (varnishing) business there. In about 1750 he began to make experiments in letter founding, and produced the wonderful series of types now named after him. His first book, the Virgil of 1757, was also the first to be printed upon wove paper (manufactured by a process that he invented). In 1758 he be came printer to Cambridge University. All of his books bear show fine craftsmanship and a refined sense of design. In the last few years before his death, Baskerville published a few Latin classics in quarto and duodecimo. "All these bear the marks of unabated genius even in his declining days: and suffice, had he printed nothing else, to distinguish him as the first typographer of his time" - T. B. Reed, in 'Old English Letter Foundries'. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! Gaskell 44. W113

8vo. 116 (but: 117), (1) SS. 19th century red morocco with richly gilt inner dentelle, leading edges gilt, marbled pastedowns. All edges gilt. Very rare first Latin edition of this controversial pamphlet, previously published in French as "Discours merveilleux de la vie, actions & deportements de la royne Catharine de Medicis" ("Paris 1563", but in fact printed in the autumn of 1574). This stinging indictment of Catherine de Medici was reprinted several times and also saw a German translation, "Öffentliches Ausschreiben der übelbefriedigten Stände in Frankreich" (i.e., "Public announcement made by the malcontent estates in France"), edited by Johann Fischart. - "The most controversial book associated with the name of Henri Estienne; this notorious biography of Catherine de Médicis, in the form of a violent Huguenot pamphlet against her, has long been attributed to Henri Estienne, although serious doubt has been cast on this attribution" (Schreiber). The anonymous author presents himself as a Catholic who insists the Huguenots should not have been butchered, but rather converted by means of theological argument. "Undoubtedly the writer is a member of the large party of malcontents, many of whom - at least after the massacre - were Catholics, who hoped that all men of national spirit from both persuasions might unite to throw off the cruel yoke of the Queen mother's rule and end the civil wars. Among the many Huguenot pamphlets of the time, this is the one to aim the sharpest arrows at the Queen mother. It contains a vitriolic account of the Queen's life, describing her family and upbringing in the most disparaging terms and revealing all the schemes, misdeeds and crimes committed since the beginning of her rule in 1560 [...] Repeatedly the author points out how she makes use of the precepts of her Florentine compatriot Macchiavelli" (A. Hauffen, Fischart-Studien, in: Euphorion 8 [1901], S. 536f.). - Light browning and very occasional light staining, sumptuously bound in the 19th century. Adams S 1754. BM-STC French, Suppl. 22. Renouard 143, 8. Schreiber 196.
Folio (222 x 320 mm). (4), 253 ff. Title page printed in red and black. With woodcut title border (birds and grapes) by Hans Wechtlin and page-sized woodcut by Urs Graf at the end of preliminary matter. Contemp. blindstamped pigskin. Two clasps. Early edition of this influential collection of Lives of the Saints, first published in Vicenza in 1493. "A very valuable work with a wide circulation. In his arrangement of the various lives he follows the calendar of the Church. The collection [...] went through many editions, the last of which (the eighth) appeared in Venice, 1616" (Cath. Encyclopedia, s.v.). Fine Strasbourg print; Urs Graf's splendid woodcut shows the Ascension of the Christ. - Binding rather severely rubbed. Some worming to beginning and end; occasional brown- and waterstaining. Late 16th-c. ms. ownership and large engr. bookplate to front pastedown. VD 16, P 1881. BM-STC German 644. Adams N 45. Ritter 1856.
