1940réf. 081609Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins Press 1940. First Full-Color Facsimile Editi. Hardcover. Near Fine/Fair. 12.25" tall x 9.75" wide x 1.5" thick. Illustrated. The first full-color facsimile edition with English translation and scholarly apparatus of the earliest known illustrated medical herbal produced in the Americas. The work’s original title is Libellus de medicinalibus Indorum herbis “Little Book of the Medicinal Herbs of the Indians”. It was compiled in 1552 at the College of Santa Cruz in Tlatelolco Mexico City by two Indigenous scholars: Martín de la Cruz Martinus de la Cruz an Aztec physician wrote the text in Nahuatl Aztec language from native medical experience; and Juan Badiano Juannes Badianus a Latin teacher at the same college translated it into Latin. The manuscript was prepared as a gift for Francisco de Mendoza son of Viceroy Antonio de Mendoza and intended ultimately for the Spanish court. It later passed into the Barberini collection and then the Vatican Library Codex Barberini Lat. 241. It was rediscovered there in 1929 by Charles Upson Clark. The edition made the herbal widely accessible for the first time and remains a landmark in the history of American botany and medicine. The original manuscript was later returned to Mexico by Pope John Paul II in 1990.

2010réf. 11631East Burke VT: Plowboy Press 2010. Wrappers. Fine binding. Oblong octavo. 2 58 4 pp. Limited edition one of 100 numbered copies. Printed letterpress by Andrew Miller-Brown at the Janus Press in black red and brown in Palatino and Gill Sans. The text and glosses are in Latin Old English and English. Bound as issued sewn longstitch into Gray Flax Canal from Papeterie Saint Armand and housed in a shellacked wooden slipcase. A fine copy. Aelfric's Colloquy was written in England around the year 1000 to teach novice monks conversational Latin. Unusual among instructive texts it takes the form of a dialogue between tradespeople and laborers about whose work is the most important each highlighting their trade's necessity and often bemoaning its difficulties. Amidst this dialogue there is discussion outlining the way in which there is coordination between trades to form a functioning social structure-teaching Latin and civics simultaneously. In this regard the colloquy offers important insight into Anglo-Saxon society. The new translation by W.R. Johnson is arranged between the original Latin and an early Old English gloss presenting the text line by line in three languages. Miller-Brown has composed the book so that the dialog takes place across each page spread question and answer from left to right a quality that makes each spread varied and visually engaging. It was announced in March 2012 that Aelfric's Colloquy was one of two runners-up for the thirteenth Carl Hertzog Award for Excellence in Book Design. One judge of the competition Bryce Milligan of Wings Press said "Obviously a work in homage to a beloved text Aelfric's Colloquy reflects the age and culture of Aelfric in its external design the texture and color of the cover recalling rough woolen monk's robes and the handmade box feeling very much like the consciously un-ornate wooden book covers of a monastic library's most used texts. Both lend gravity to what some today might consider a slight text but which really has a long and important legacy. The typography and layout echo the unusually spacious original manuscript and its tri-lingual text is an expansion of the interlinear glosses of the original. Finally the occasional and judicious use of color adds just the right amount of almost inexplicable levity similar to that which one finds peeking through Aelfric's text. Plowboy Press unknown
