No jacket Le Coq a wealthy German brewer and wine merchant became strongly interested in archeology. He actually led the second and third German Turfan expeditions. They discovered and removed to Germany many artifacts while carelessly destroying others. Le Coq thought he had found evidence of Aryan culture in what they found in China. Some of the material taken back to Germany was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II. Online sources state that China regards Le Coq's actions pn these expeditions as comparable to the looting of the Elgin marbles by the British. This book's original owner Kenneth Scott Latourette 1884-1968 was a scholar and historian who taught for many years at the Yale Divinity School. He is probably most remembered for his much admired volumes surveying world Christianity. Allen & Unwin hardcover books

Fine. On Typographica Broodthaers excerpta: "This book started out as an installation but devolved into conceptual art and lay dormant until now. But my first idea was to set it in a kind of poison pen letter fashion and as I had a complete run of Eurostile Extended-which I felt quite suited to it-I went ahead and printed it on a half sheet of Strathmore. It was not long before I decided that the copy was irrelevant-that the idea was simply an idea-or more to the point-joke-that the piece did not need to be produced and that a written description would suffice: The idea of the thing being better than the thing itself. I still have the press and the type still standing after 25 years and for the book I reprinted the form photographed the original drawing and sheet of Strathmore; along with the press and the type piled up and into it." On Word Bags: "Graffiti on a bank building. A suite of seven cibachromes showing individually the letters of the word PROTEST. Building maintenance went over the letters with lacquer thinner and then covered the entire word in clear plastic to protect passers-by. The red spray paint spread and ran down the side of the building imparting a blood & tear-like aspect to the letterforms under the billowing shroud of plastic. Hence body bag viz. word bags." On Palabra Found poems in lowercase Peignot - by way of its modified ascenders and dotted i - if handled as a unicameral may be seen as a democratization of type; or as a kind of gentrified graffiti.

As new at the published price. Electric Tulips 5.1 was conceived as a dialogue between an imaginary literary critic Gallo and the poet Gallo and revolves around the writing and presentation of his poem Electric Tulips 5.1. The essay which results Future Preterite by the esteemed critic Alessandro S. Stompanado is intended to emulate that of the essay by James Joyce written under the pseudonym Vladimir Dixon; and which appeared in the Sylvia Beach publication of 1929: Our Exagmination Round His Factification for Incamination of Work in Progress in which Joyce writes an appreciation of his own novel Ulysses. As such the book is a multi-layered pastiche of both literary and typographic treatments along with a magnificent double gatefold presentation of the poem in eight colors each of the seven stanzas in a separate color and the seminal tulip in an eighth; the type all set by hand and printed letterpress and polymer from Permanent Headline Open from the now defunct foundry Ludwig & Mayer. privately printed unknown books

"Some of his published works had considerable success and were subsequently reprinted. The three-movement sonatas of op. 1 which Handel judged favourably exhibit sectional contrasts characteristic of the ripieno concerto. In the op. 2 sonatas also in three movements Fritz approached the style of the Turin school with a richly decorated solo line supported by a thematically unrelated bass; some of the final movements are sets of chaconne variations." Jürg Stenzl in Grove Music Online Together with: SAMMARTINI Giovanni Battista 1700-1775 Op. 1 Six Sonatas for two Violins and a Thorough Bass . Opera Prima.

"Sammartini was primarily an instrumental composer and one of the leading writers of concertos and sonatas in England between 1730 and 1750. His printed collections include 24 sonatas for flute and bass 30 trios for flutes or violins 24 concerti grossi four keyboard concertos an oboe concerto 16 overtures and some flute duets and cello sonatas. The tuneful Recorder Concerto in F found in only one source S-Skma has become his best-known work. Hawkins classed Sammartini's instrumental music with that of Corelli and Geminiani. Though his music is rooted in the late Baroque style it also reflects some later trends. There is considerable variety in the number succession and type of movements. . His music played a fundamental role in the formation of the Classical style. He was one of the most advanced and experimental composers of the early Classical period and the first great master of the symphony preserving his individuality despite the rise of the Viennese and Mannheim schools. Though the extent of Sammartini's influence is still not fully measured the high quality of his music places him among the leading creative spirits of the 18th century."
