Parallel text in Greek and French on facing pages. Front flyleaf with engraved armorial bookplate. Carteret IV 377. ◆A couple of tiny dark spots to front board title page with three small spots of foxing but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally with generous margins the watercolor on bright stock and the binding unworn. From one of the leading publishers of luxury editions during what Ray calls "the golden age of bibliophiles" this is an excerpt from the "Idylls" of Theocritus in a binding from an esteemed Parisian workshop. Marcellin Lortic 1852-1928 was trained by his father Pierre 1822-92 one of the great binders of 19th century Paris; the firm was known for their superb interpretations of traditional styles. Flety notes that unlike his father Lortic fils handled all aspects of a binding himself as designer binder and gilder. He was an eccentric workaholic living alone in his workshop and devoting his life to his craft. According to Flety "his bindings appeared in numerous libraries of great collectors of his time" who showed their satisfaction and appreciation with persistent loyalty. Protective of his reputation--and also loathe to work with others--he refused to hire an apprentice/successor choosing instead to sell his equipment and tools when he was no longer able to work. Our text follows in the tradition of an ancient Greek poetic form comprising a conversation between two lovers often unsurprisingly with amorous content--in the present case seduction leading to marriage. The style was adopted by and enjoyed a vogue among Symbolist poets like Paul Verlaine in the 19th century. The illustrations--alive with nymphs fauns and other mythological creatures--are the work of Georges Bellenger 1847-1918. He exhibited landscapes and still life paintings in the Paris Salon but was best known for his lithographs. He received a commendation from the Société des Artistes Français in 1889.

Title in Greek and Roman introduction by Aldus in Latin; text entirely in Greek. Woodcut decorated initials and floral or strapwork headpieces ILLUMINATED THROUGHOUT IN COLORS AND GOLD IN A CONTEMPORARY HAND. 140 leaves. 1 vols. Folio 315 x 210 mm. First Aldine and first complete edition of the Idylls of Theocritus of which 12 appear here for the first time also including the first edition in the original Greek of Hesiod's Theogony and Shield of Hercules and the elegies of Theognis as well as the second edition of Hesiod's Works and Days which were first printed in Milan circa 1480. This is the first setting of gatherings zeta.F and theta.G with the text uncorrected. Not only is this copy beautifully colored in a contemporary hand none such appear in ABPC for the last 35 years and we are unable to find any institutional copies with coloring but the copy is notable as well for profuse neat contemporary marginalia mostly in Latin but often in Greek which fill the book. The marginal annotations are particularly extensive in the first two Idylls where typically underscored words are explained in the margins; occasionally an interlinear Latin word is provided beneath the Greek in an even smaller but always clear hand. The notes themselves are mostly philological in scope with notations on unusual Doric Theocritus's dialect forms e.g. the Doric form for the preposition 'πpòs' being 'πotì' the identification of parts of speech and grammatical forms poetic usage etc. Especially notable too are frequent comparisons and cross references to passages from Vergil's Eclogues. In the famous Idyll 2 "Pharmaceutria" where a spurned maiden utters incantations to bring her man back home there now seem to be two distinct hands and the notes are particularly frequent and copious. The first note reads: "Unde sumpta est Verg. Pharmaceutria" whence Vergil got his Pharmaceutria. A beautiful copy of a rare and important book with fascinating early annotations.
