Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Comte Dmitry Boutourlin and ex-libris of Dr. Tibulle Desbarreaux-Bernard. Brooks 808. A couple of faint scratches to rear board extremities lightly rubbed otherwise QUITE A FINE COPY--remarkably clean fresh and bright internally the smooth untrimmed paper with enormous margins and the binding lustrous and altogether pleasing. With distinguished provenance this is a very appealing copy of a collection of a Parma poet's works and an excellent specimen of Bodoni printing. Giambattista Bodoni 1740-1813 worked for more than 20 years at the Royal press in Parma before obtaining permission to set up his own private press in 1791. Brooks says "He took his printing in all its branches very seriously laboured incessantly to perfect his type had a fine artistic sense . . . and produced books not only of a very high standard but also showing a remarkably distinct individuality." Bodoni used the finest quality paper available and his clear beautiful types have been envied and copied for many generations. "The result of his labours is a long list of books which . . . reach a very high many of them the highest level of technical excellence." That technical expertise is much on display here. Bodoni has clearly laid out text here as for a duodecimo but printed it on especially fine octavo-sized paper giving the book the luxurious feel of an especially Large Paper Copy. In addition a range of his roman and italic types appears here with some pages displaying up to 10 different type sizes. The text comprises the poems of Marchese Prospero Valeriano Manara 1714-1800 a Parma statesman who through his career served as Minister of State and was a close correspondent of the duke. Assembled by Manara's sons following his death the present work is composed of four parts. The first is made up of Manara's original eclogues and sonnets; this is followed by Italian translations of Virgil's "Bucolics" and "Georgics" the latter appearing here for the first time; and the fourth section contains an elegy written in Manara's honor by Count Antonio Cerati pen name Filandro Cretense 1738-1816. The present copy in attractive contemporary morocco comes with the provenance of two major 19th century collections. Previous owner Count Dmitry Boutourlin 1763-1829 was a general politician historian librarian and one of Russia's most famous bibliophiles whose impressive library included 244 early manuscripts and about 1000 incunables in addition to a complete collection of Bodoni imprints and a nearly complete assemblage of Aldine editions. After his retirement from the military Boutourlin served as director of the Russian Imperial Library. Our copy later resided in the collection of Toulouse physician and bibliophile Tibulle Desbarreaux-Bernard 1798-1880 who published widely on print history. Giambattista Bodoni unknown

1912Best.-Nr. 84830London: William Rider & Son 1912. First U.K. Edition. Octavo. 19cm. Publisher's deep blue embossed cloth titled in gilt to spine and front board. 299pp. 16pp publisher's ads to rear. Minor scuffing and bumping to spine ends and corners a little discoloration of the cloth in places very slight lean; internally clean with some marginal foxing to the prelims and page edges. A very good strong copy. A bizarre and often rather unwieldy time travel romp involving the discover of a modern revolver and a handful of sovereigns in an ancient Armenian tomb during an archaeological dig. It transpires that the tomb of the Biblical King Balthazar contains papyri suggesting that he was a time travelling student of the occult who also summoned a number of Egyptian gods witnessed the birth of Christ and took part in the Trojan War oh and he also rescues Helen of Troy from Hades and then marries her. One can only assume that those early 20th century British chaps were made of sterner stuff. A typically eccentric piece of rompery from Frederick Rolfe who laid claim to writing 95% of it with Pirie-Gordon adding flavor who never saw a convention literary or otherwise that he didn't want to overturn.
