1616Best.-Nr. 6130London: Ex Officina Societatis Stationariorum printed by John Legat 1616. Small 8vo 4 294 66pp. Index. Woodcut device on title and initials. 18th century ruled calf spine lettered in gilt marbled page edges. Armorial bookplate of Adam Urquhart Esq. to front pastedown else clean internally and with minimal foxing. One of roughly half a dozen early English printings in the original Latin of the humanist poem by Neopolitan poet Marcello Stellato ca. 1500-1550. The work is divided into 12 books each for a sign of the Zodiac. 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. Editions printed in London of this famous poem are markedly less common in the trade than other continental printings. Gardner 893. STC 19146.

1938Best.-Nr. 6107Atlantic City: Two Studios 1938. 29x23cm 16pp. plus 4pp ads. Illustrations. Mimeographed sheets recto only brad-bound along top in brightly illustrated glossy wrappers. Horizontal folds wear and light chipping to wrappers. Very good. First edition of Professor Seward's 35th annual reading this edition for the Aries sign. Nice bit of capitalism from the self-proclaimed "World's Foremost Astrologer" about which surprisingly little has been written. Seward authored several books the first of which appeared in 1915 a self-published work called The Zodiac and its Mysteries. He appeared on radio programs in the 20's and 30's and made sound recordings for Victor Records of sun sign information. This particular publication came from one of his three U.S. offices in Atlantic City one of the main attractions on the boardwalk. Scarce. OCLC locates just three other readings by Seward for Libra Taurus and Cancer. . Two Studios unknown
