1912réf. 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.

1620réf. 50700Firenze Florence: Pietro Cecconcelli 1620. Second state. Very good. First edition of this landmark neoclassical tragedy - the first documented performance using moveable scenes - with exquisite double-page etchings of the stage by an influential innovator of the form. First performed in Florence in 1619 IL SOLIMANO was a turning point in modern European theater. Bonarelli not only rejected the chorus format of the long-established ancient Greek model but made use of extravagant set design to tell his political-historical drama. Bonarelli based the tragedy loosely on Suleiman the Magnificent the famed Turkish sultan of the 16th century under whose rule the Ottoman Empire experienced a Golden Age of the arts. The story of a tyrant who puts to death his eldest son IL SOLIMANO culminates in the awe-inspiring destruction of the city by fire. Otto Benesch calls the moveable scenes created for the performance "the first in the history of theatre" 17 and notes that despite the ostensibly Turkish setting these sets depict early modern Florence. A mixture of neoclassicism and orientalism IL SOLIMANO captured the imagination of Europe going through multiple editions over the century and inspiring further plays and operas. This first edition remains highly sought for its Callot plates that not only depict the innovative set but show many of the subtleties of style and technique that Callot pioneered under the patronage of the Medicis. His well-known mastery of stoppings out for example is evident in the final plate of the city in flames where tendrils of smoke and individual bursts of fire cross the scene in a variety of depth light and shade. An important work in both the history of theater and of the graphic arts. Quarto 8.75'' x 6.45''. Later half parchment with marbled boards gilt-ruled spine red goatskin spine label. Complete with six plates by Callot engraved title page and 5 double-page etchings. Engraved title with Callot's name in bottom left. 10 162 2 pages. Repairs in gutters of a number of leaves including reinforcements or new stubs to engraved spreads. Light scattered foxing spot of browning to title page gutter. Engravings crisp.

1700réf. ABC_47581Paris 1700. 8vo. Nicolas Pepié Contemporary vellum with the manuscript title on the spine blue sprinkled edges. With a small woodcut ornamental vignette on the title page and some head- and tail-pieces built up from typographical ornaments 2 318 10 pp. This particular account on Chinese cults known as the De cultu sinensis was authored in 1668 and published posthumously. It was written by Prosper Intorcetta 1625-1696 who embarked on a journey to China in 1656 alongside Father Martini and a group of fifteen other priests who were engaged in missionary work in the province of Jiangxi. Intorcetta who assumed the Chinese name of In-to-tsé and the nickname of Koi-ssé was imprisoned in Canton in 1664. After his initial release he managed to travel to Rome in 1671 to witness the fate of his fellow missionaries before being arrested again in 1690. Alongside his work on the translation and study of Confucius' classics for which he proposed a complete translation the present work played a crucial role in the establishment of the subject of sinology in Europe as it dates back to the early years of missionary presence in China. Furthermore it contributed to enhancing understanding of the Chinese language. The De cultu sinensis was a response to the concerns raised by Domenico Navarette a Spanish Dominican archbishop and missionary who served in Mexico the Philippines and later in China. Navarette strongly opposed certain Chinese rituals and Intorcetta's book addresses this contentious issue.With the large oval black owner's stamp of Cardinal Jean-Marie Gabriel on the title-page and page 5 a manuscript owner's inscription in brown ink "Bibliotheca J. Pudentiana" on the title page and with a small manuscript annotation "J. Pud." on the front board. With some offsetting from the manuscript owner's incription in the first free flyleaf and a small paper repair to the bottom margin of the title-page without affecting the text. Slightly browned throughout otherwise in very good condition.l Cordier Sinica 884; Sommervogel IV 642 no.6; WorldCat 18792180 12 copies.

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
