With prominent darkening to the spine and large areas of the wraps. Translated for the first time from Greek into French with an introduction and notes by Paul ver Eecke. Collection de Travaux de l'Académie Internationale d'Histoire des Sciences No. 1. Euclid flourished c. 300 bce Alexandria Egypt was the foremost mathematician of Greco-Roman antiquity. Not much is known about his life. He is most known for his treatise on geometry the "Elements." "Euclid understood that building a logical and rigorous geometry and mathematics depends on the foundation—a foundation that Euclid began in Book I with 23 definitions such as 'a point is that which has no part' and 'a line is a length without breadth' five unproved assumptions that Euclid called postulates now known as axioms and five further unproved assumptions that he called common notions. Book I then proves elementary theorems about triangles and parallelograms and ends with the Pythagorean theorem." - Britannica.com. Desclée de Brouwer et Cie paperback books

Best.-Nr. 11635Newark VT: Janus Press 2006. Original Wrappers. Fine binding. Quarto. 40 4 pp. pop-up. Limited edition one of 150 numbered copies. Signed by Van Vliet Holden Miller-Brown. Bound by Audrey Holden in pulp-painted covers by Van Vliet and Katie MacGregor. who also created the pulp painting background for the centerpiece pop-up. Text is printed in Victor Hammer's American Uncial with wraparound commentary in Monotype Plantin by Andrew Miller-Brown. All housed in a paste-paper over boards clamshell with birch sides; boldly titled on the spine. A fine copy. A remarkable rendering of the 2nd century Gnostic Gospel. Van Vliet's edition is a wonderful marriage of early and modern printing: the design echoing early printing islands of text within a sea of commentary. Similarly the choice of American Uncial a typeface modeled by Hammer after early letterforms from a century near to the time of this gospel's composition recalls early books. But this is a remarkably modern printing with modern abstracted embellishments where we would expect to find illuminated illustration in an early manuscript. Every page of the scholarly edition is visually engaging-a rare marriage indeed! As if this exceptional design was not enough "the reader" in the words of John A. Buchtel "reaches the center of the book and unexpectedly the pop-up explodes out of the mottled purple and blue pulp painted page spread in the vivid multiple colors of Katie MacGregor's handmade papers. Its abstract design echoes the diagrams elsewhere in the book and its sense of rising expansiveness is reinforced by the radiating silver paper strips woven through the surface of the pulp painting. . . . The pop-up is emblematic perhaps of a sudden realization-an epiphany-as the soul moves 'upward from its bondage to the flesh and the lower world to its liberation in the higher celestial realm.'" p. 48. A stunning work. Buchtel John A. The Art of Paper: Claire Van Vliet and the Janus Press: Papermaking Collaborations 2024. Janus Press unknown

Photographs of a current production of "Tartuffe" proved impossible to obtain as illustrations. While waiting for another idea for the art Hoyem got in touch with the poet Richard Wilbur who had made an excellent translation of the play in rhymed verse and obtained permission to use it. Then William Hamilton the "New Yorker" cartoonist came to mind. Hoyem had met Hamilton in 1978 and admired his liquid line and quick capturing of character and expression in his send-ups of WASPs. But could he do period costumes Hamilton made seven charming drawings with the main characters in period dress and the servants in modern dress. To celebrate the publication the Arion staff presented a staged reading from the play directed by veteran actress and director Joy Carlin. Bruce Bolt an eminent seismologist at the University of California Berkeley and an amateur actor took a matronly role wearing a skirt with an elastic waistband borrowed from his wife.
