INVENTIVE AND ELEGANT BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO BY ANNIE BOIGE stamp-signed "A. Boige" on front pastedown and dated 1996 on rear pastedown upper covers cleverly encrusted with botanical specimens leaves or branches smooth spines with silver titling leather hinges watermarked light gray endpapers. Housed together in the original suede-lined brown cloth drop-back box suede-covered separators preventing contact between volumes. WITH engraved frontispiece portrait of the king of Sardinia in volume I engraved allegorical vignette on title pages and 92 FINE ENGRAVED PLATES ILLUSTRATING 237 BOTANICAL SPECIES. A Large Paper Copy. Cleveland Collections 557; Dunthorne 6; Sitwell "Great Flower Books" p. 67 69; Nissen BBI 18. ◆One plate with minor repair to fore-edge margin another with tiny rust hole not touching image half a dozen plates with insignificant smudges made during the printing process other trivial imperfections but A VERY FINE COPY clean fresh and wide-margined in a flawless binding. This is a major work of 18th century botany describing more than 2800 species of plants found in Italy's Piedmont region illustrating 237 previously unknown specimens and--crucially--classifying them all according to the new Linnean system becoming one of the first regional botanicals to use that taxonomy; as a bonus our copy comes in a particularly appropriate and charming binding with prominent botanical design elements. "Flora Pedemontana" was the chief work of Italian physician Carlo Allioni 1728-1804 professor of botany at the University of Turin and director of its natural history cabinet and botanical garden. The illustrations were drawn and engraved by the botanical garden's resident artist Francesco Peyroleri and his son Pietro. Our flora is also an important source of information on Alpine flowers. The modern binding is by an artisan who was proclaimed the "Grande Dame of French bookbinding" by the journal "Art & Métiers du Livre." Annie Boige trained at the Estienne School and at the Vésinet Applied Art Workshop before establishing her atelier in 1985. An art bookbinder she is noted for her monochrome color schemes and her use of beautiful leathers and vegetal materials a felicitous choice here. Michael Briolus unknown

1917ref. 001174Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. First Edition . Illustrated Wraps. Very Good. 13.75" x 10.5. Vincent Rene; Leonnec Georges; Giris Cesar et al illustrators. Paris: La Vie Parisienne 1917. The Decembre 29 1917 Issue 55e annee No 52. Illustrations by Rene Vincent Cesar Giris Georges Leonnec et al. Text in French. Illustrated wraps folio 13.75" x 10.5" 19 pp. 1159 through 1177 for the 1917 year plus 1 unnumbered ad leaf and covers. Slender but at folio size a bit too large for full scans. Some cover soiling wrinkling wear and small scale chips; contents sharp bright Very Good overall. Glossy covers; first and last few internal pages are on newsprint else all glossy. Rather spectacular full-page color illustrations by Leonnec Giris Vincent et al front cover "Est-ce vous le grand enfant qui veut.une poupee pour son jour de l'an" which I believe means roughly "Are you the Big Baby who wants.a doll for your birthday" featuring a winter-clad but nonetheless fetching young lady pointing at us and Giris' "Petite Secousse au Vieux Marcheur" on the rear cover. Mild nudity sporadically in these issues but quite soft. All of the full page efforst are eminently frame-able and at this time of a sensibility midway-evolved between nouveau and deco as is much of the uncredited b&w illustration. An original - and of course first and only edition - of the 12/29/1917 issue of this memorable and long-lived French weekly offering of very soft very artful light erotica. The captioned illustrations by the eminent luminaries named above are what what really "make" this issue as was generally the case through the era but cartoons serial fiction and around-town pieces nicely compliment those. Gorgeous oversized large color illustrations are what you collect these for. l-lng1 La Vie Parisienne paperback

First edition of the Bishop's Bible the second authorised English translation. The editio princeps of the Bishop's Bible the second authorised English translation. A rare near complete example of the 'most sumptuous' and lavishly illustrated English pulpit Bible of the sixteenth century with over 130 narrative woodcuts and maps and three engraved portraits. The Bishop's Bible so-named for the numerous bishops and Biblical scholars involved in its production was the brainchild of the Archbishop of Canterbury Matthew Parker 1504-1575. The translation was intended to counter the Calvinist influence of the Geneva Bible which had come to prominence following the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558 and the return shortly thereafter of the Marian exile community into England and supersede the earlier Great Bible as the official authorised version of the scriptures in the Church of England. The text mainly follows that of the 1539 Great Bible but both Hebrew and Greek originals were consulted as well as the Geneva version. At least eleven bishops were involved in the revision with Parker himself contributing the lion's share of the work and the whole was completed by September 1568. 'In April 1571 the Convocation of the Province of Canterbury ordered that copies of this edition should be placed in every cathedral and as far as possible in every church; and enjoined every ecclesiastical dignitary to exhibit a copy in a prominent place in his house for the use of his servants and guests' Darlow & Moule. When Whitgift became Archbishop in 1583 he attempted unsuccessfully to enforce the sole use of the Bishop's Bible in churches and chapels across England. 'The Bishops' Bible was a success in that it replaced the Great Bible last reprinted in 1569 in churches to the exclusion of the Geneva version. But the latter continued to be read in Protestant homes and became the foundation of the Authorized Version' ODNB. The woodcut illustrations were mostly copied from designs by the Nuremberg artist Virgil Solis 1514-1562 for a picture series Biblische Figuren des Alten and Neuen Testaments that was first published in Frankfurt in 1560. The three engraved portraits depict Queen Elizabeth her favourite Robert Dudley Earl of Leicester and the Secretary of State Sir William Cecil and are attributed to Flemish artist Franciscus Hogenberg 1535-1590. 'While title-page portraits of the monarch were an established feature of English Bibles contemporary portraits within the text were a startling departure. The engravings of Dudley and Cecil prominently placed at the beginning of Parts 2 and 3 respectively flatter by association with the immediately following books. Dudley portrayed in armor mirrors the warrior-hero Joshua. Cecil is position as a new David at the head of Psalms with an open book in one hand other other grasping the large initials B of the psalm's opening line "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsell of the ungodly"' Luborsky & Ingram. This edition is also sometimes known as the 'Treacle Bible' for the rendering of 'balm' as 'triacle' in Jeremiah 8:22. A lovely example with early annotations including a note in pen to the foot of the first book of Chronicles dated '1590' with a 19th-century transcription on tipped-in blue paper: 'As thou shalt understand oute of this testamente the tru godlynes and the salvasion of ouer soules both by hearing of it and laying up as a storehouse in the harte. With a true and sinsear loue and so take up the crose of Christe Jesus and folowe hime that is to suffer afflictiones and fornes and scurges as Crist did when he suffered afflicksiones for ouer sines. 1590'. With a further note in the same hand to the second book of Esdras. ESTC S122070; STC 2099; Herbert 125; DM 89; Luborsky & Ingram B:2099.
