1940réf. 510630Editions de la Revue Verve 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. FINE. Complete Astrological Calendar. Text in English. Tall 4to 35.5cm. sewn binding in white paper over cards often mistaken for the DJ itself with original blue lithograph dust jacket. Introductory essay by Malo translated into English by Robert Sage. With very richly colored plates reproducing the entirety of the astrological calendar of the Tres Riches Heured du Duc de Berry. DJ spine faded original covers exceedingly clean and sharp text entirely crisp and bright. Now covered in our thick mylar jacket. 'Teriade had always found room for selections from French illuminated manuscripts in Verve's early 'miscellaneous or general issues.' With Verve No. 7 this predilection was in full flood. The Calendar from Les Tres Riches Heures du Duc de Berry inaugurated a series devoted exclusively to illuminated texts from the thirteenth fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. Verve Nos. 7 9 10 11 12 14/15 16 and 23--which spanned a nine-year period--attest to the importance Teriade attached to this art form.' Michel Antonioz VERVE: The Ultimate Review of Art and Literature 121. In an introductory essay Teriade himself relays the great difficulty in attempting to reproduce the paintings: 'There are no more exquisite paintings in the world than those contained in this manuscript and their colors are so delicate that faithful reproduction seemed mpossible by means of mechanical processes using chemical tones . The purit of the manuscript's colors as Robert Draeger discovered defied the sensitive emulsions of photographic plates. Only after patient effort could the minute drawing and transparent colors be reconstituted. The result achieved demanded extraordinary crafstmanship and may well mark a date in the history of colored reproduction. For the first time the Calendar of Les Tres Riches Heures now belongs to the public in its entegrality and in the exact dimensions of its original paintings.' Each of the calendar months depict in great detail a scene from the agricultural life of 15th century France-- 'No document exists which shows more fully and accurately the life of Medieval France: in it are expressed the elegance the refinement and the vigor of the France of the past.'.

This particular publication came from one of his three U.S. offices in Atlantic City one of the main attractions on the boardwalk. Scarce.

Some scuffing and soiling to boards bookplate to front pastedown else clean internally and very good. Scarce first edition of this text which prints and explores the importance of Neapolitan poet Marcello Stellato's Ca. 1500-before 1551 widely read and studied astrological poem Zodiacus Vitae. Originally published in 1536 in Venice the poem was first translated into English by Barnaby Googe six books published in 1561 and then the complete Zodiake of Life in 1565. It was widely read and distributed in London and also taught in early English grammar school. Shakespeare almost certainly studied the work and it is thought to be the inspiration for his "All the world's a stage" monologue from As you Like It. This publication also contains an appendix by English astrologer Walter Gorn Old or "Sepharial" as he was known titled "The Astrological Aspect of the Zodiac of Life."
