1768réf. 26070London:: J. Ridley. Full leather binding. 12mo xxxii 287pp.contemporary errata page. Full leather with raised bands to spine. Gilt titles to red spine label. Gilt dentelles. Two armourial bookplates: firstly that of Robert Shafto d.1780 of Benwell in Northumberland and secondly that of his son-in-law William Adair. Robert Shafto was a distant cousin of the Robert Shafto MP 1732-1797 of whom the folk song ' Bobby Shafto' is believed to refer. However some sources Thomas & George Allan in Tyneside Songs and Readings 1891 believe Robert Shafto 1760–1781 of Benwell was the inspiration - he was the son of the owner of this book. Either way the Shafto family with their strong Northumberland and Co. Durham connections make this volume of particular interest to those with interest in NE England. Most of the prelim is taken up with The Classic poem. The text is in English. Front hinge split and held only by one cord rear hinge tender. Though the binding is rather fragile the gatherings remain tightly bound and square. Pages show some age toning to the very edges more so towards the beginning and end of the text block. Starting to crack vertically down the middle of the spine. Prelims are unevenly tanned. Rubbed to edges with the tips of the board showing to two corners. Some slight scuffing to the surface of the leather. Fair copy . Hardback. 1768. J. Ridley hardcover

1791réf. A6K9AB01U79OParma: in aedibus Palatinis Typis Bodonianis 1791. Contemporary gold-tooled green morocco with the title lettered in gold on the spine gold-tooled board edges and turn-ins shiny pink endpapers with a frame of small silver leaves mounted on the pastedowns. 16mo in 4s 15 x 11 cm. With a small engraved portrait of Anacreon in a roundel on the title-page a small engraved portrait of the dedicatee J. N. de Azara in a roundel on the dedication page. Part of the text is set in Greek type. Beautiful copy of Anacreon's poems printed in Greek and Latin capitals that Bodoni had designed and cut especially for his Anacreon editions. The first of these splendid editions was printed in 1785. Our copy is one of 150 printed. A first 8vo edition was printed by Bodoni in 1784 but the 1785 and 1791 editions are by far the most gorgeous and from a philological viewpoint the best. Brooks no. 421 furthermore mentions a 16mo-edition also printed in 1791. The book aroused the admiration of the famous bibliographer Dibdin who wrote in his classic bibliography Greek and Latin classics p. 265: "The Bodoni edition of 1785 and 1791 is printed in capital letters and more elegant and exquisitely finished productions cannot be conceived".Our copy comes from the library of the Comte D. Boutourlin 1763-1829 a Russian soldier military historian politician and librarian of the Imperial Russian Library. He was one of the most outstanding book collectors of 19th-century Russia and he formed an important library which was unfortunately destroyed during the burning of Moscow in 1812. His second large collection of which a catalogue was published in 1831 in 200 copies was formed during his retirement in Florence. It contained 244 important early manuscripts 964 15th-century books many of which were unrecorded a very complete Bodoni collection and other outstanding items 7929 in all. The book was later owned by the Comte Chandon de Briailles whose bookplate is pasted on first flyleaf: "Au Conte Chandon de Briailles". This is most likely Raoul Chandon de Briailles 1850-1908 historian and wine merchant founder of the Chandon de Briailles mark of champagne part of whose rich library was bequeathed to the Médiathèque at Épernay.With the large armorial bookplate of Comte Chandon D. Boutourlin on the verso of the first free flyleaf and the bookplate of Comte de Briailles on the recto of the second free flyleaf. The binding shows very slight signs of wear internally only very slightly foxed.
