After studying with Karel Silinger in Pilsen and at the School for Applied Arts in Prague and then working in Switzerland Sobota came to the United States where hespend 15 years mostly working at Southern Methodist University. He returned to Loket Czech Republic in 1997 where he founded the Sobota family bookbinding studio and helped to organize the Society of Czech Bookbinders becoming its first president.

This volume's collection of prose and poetry inspired by the natural landscape is enhanced by Hanka's dramatic etchings of twisted bare-limbed trees fossils and insects. The letterpress work was done by Amy Bollinger on heavy handmade paper. Rarach Press hardcover
réf. 26159Paris, Jorry, Lambert et Duchesne, 1758. Text printed within woodcut border. [ii] (series title dated 1763), xxii, [ii], 244, 88; 48 (the pagination of the six supplements is continuous) pp. 8vo in 4s. Finely bound in late nineteenth century crushed blue morocco, spine in compartments, gilt-lettering directly to spine, tooled with theatrical mask to spine and to all four corners of upper and lower board, upper edge gilt, gilt dentelles, partly uncut, a fine copy. Grand-Carteret (Almanachs Français) 192; Dufour, Bibliographie de Paris, p. 395; Soleinne, IV, 283; OCLC locates a number of copies of the main work, but only Dutch Royal Library, Lyon and Bibliotheque Nationale for the full complement of supplements. First edition, very rare with all six supplements present, of this detailed account of French theatre up to the middle of the eighteenth century. The supplements, which were published separately over the course of six years, are very rarely present. Here they are collected with a general title page, dated 1763, published 'at the expense of the author', and bound in a fine 'theatrical' binding. The Tablettes dramatiques are a most valuable source for the history of French theatre, covering first the history of the theatre, the history of the foundation of specific theatres, an inventory of plays performed or printed for the period 1552 to 1752, with critical commentary, and finally a biographical dictionary of authors and actors. The supplements generally follow the same format and give information on new plays, a performance calendar for the period in question, details of ballets, and biographical information on new emerging actors. A fascinating overview of French or more specifically Parisian theatre history, documenting the transition from medieval theatre to the highly organised and politicised drama up the middle of the eighteenth century.The chevalier de Mouhy (1701-84), was a playwright and prolific author on the theatre, he also published an Histoire du theatre français depuis son origine jusqu'en 1780.
1645in-12, (130x75 mm), pp. 413, (15), legatura coeva in piena pergamena floscia. Con due frontespizi figurati e 147 vignette (di mm 35x50 ca.) silografiche n.t., alcune più volte ripetute, iniziali ornate e finalini. Pregevole edizione della Vita e delle Favole di Esopo nella traduzione italiana a cura del piacentino Giulio Landi, apparse rispettivamente per la prima volta presso i Giolito nel 1545, e a Venezia, Bariletto, 1569 (DBIt 63, pp. 385-389). Edizione figurata di eccezionale rarità - come tutte quelle di Esopo, di estrema deperibilità in quanto date in lettura ai bambini; nessun esemplare di questa edizione torinese è censito in biblioteche pubbliche italiane. Inoltre appare straordinario sottolineare che i legni sono gli stessi utilizzati nell'edizione latina apparsa a Biella presso Mondella nel 1549 e 1550 (Bersano Begey, II, 913-14). Queste deliziose matrici xilografiche, dall'indubbio sapore popolare, sopravvissero per oltre cento anni e vennero riutilizzate in questa edizione in volgare. Buon esemplare (antiche note di possesso ms. al titolo e in fine ''Gioanni Pietro Reynaudo'').. Manca a Michel-Michel, a B.M.STC Italian XVII secolo, al Canavesio, Tipografia del 600 in Piemonte..

1690in-8 (mm 204x145), ff. 4, bella cartonatura decorata settecentesca. Il primo foglio ha una bellissima xilografia a mezza pagina (mm 86x112) raffigurante probabilmente Carlo Magno in trono circondato dai suoi Paladini, il tutto entro bordura geometrica. Varie furono tra XVI e XVII secolo le versioni in versi della saga di Liombruno, alcune analoghe a questa, altre più estese. Questo testimone appartiene alla tradizione di quella in 48 ottave, che si apre con "Signori, intendo che per povertade / molti nel mondo son mal arrivati / hanno perduto la lor libertade / la povertá sí forte gli ha cacciati" e termina con l'ottava che inizia con "E cosí stettero insieme allegramente / infin che visson, con perfetto amore". Ma le varianti testuali sono notevoli rispetto ad altre reperite, non solo per il lessico ma anche per intere frasi sostituite. La probabile prima edizione di questo testo anonimo è del 1525. Esiste anche una versione in prosa di questa fiaba che ha per protagonista un pescatore con vari figli e madonna Aquilina, una fata con poteri magici. Forse l'unico esemplare noto di questa tarda ma preziosa edizione, che reca inusualmente un esplicito colophon sul frontespizio "In Palermo, per Pietro Coppula 1690". Il Coppola ebbe una stamperia prestigiosa e editò alcune tra le più ricche edizioni del Seicento palermitamo; stupisce che si sia dedicato ad imprimere questa effimera edizioncina popolare. Il bellissimo legno copia con fedeltà un'altra xilografia cinquecentesca già apparsa in alcune placchette precedenti, sicuramente ne "le valorose prove segli Arcibravi Paldini" del 1580. In buono stato di conservazione malgrado il margine inferiore sia rifilato, con perdita di mezza riga in A1r e di una intera riga in A8v. Le altre pagine invece sono complete anche del richiamo. L'angolo inferiore esterno di A8r non fu stampato a causa di un foglio piegatosi nel torchio.

1936Edizione originale. A fine copy, issued for the Triestine agency MANN & ROSSI, complete with a couple of advertising sheets laid in. One of the most creative among advertising booklets designed by R+M, it involves also the format of the pages: «[…] besides the rationally structured photographic cover, [it] works on the graphic invention of punching out holes in the pages which makes it possible to bring together different coating finishes in two backgrounds designed in a simple, linear style» (Colizzi, Bruno Munari and the Invention of the Graphic Design in Italy, Leiden 2011, p. 161). -- VERY RARE. We found only one institutional holding, in Italy, at the «Raccolta Stampe “Achille Bertarelli”» in Milano. Not in Maffei's bibliography of Munari's artist books.
