Description:
(Bologna: Caligola Bazalieri, 1501. Quarto. (94)ff. This edition is based on the version published by Caligola Bazalieri's brother, Bazaliero Bazalieri, in July 1491. The text is Ovid's Heroides, a collection of imaginary letters written from ancient mythological heroines to the lovers who abandoned or mistreated them, including Penelope, Dido, Ariadne, Phaedra, Medea, and Sappho. Printed in Roman type, with wood-engraved initials. Caligola Bazalieri began his career as a printer by working at his brother's press, and he printed his own title in 1492. It is rare to come across any of Caligola Bazalieri's editions: seventeen of the forty-two books that he published are known only as single copies or are "ghost" volumes, only known through bibliographies. This edition of the Heroides is unknown to all bibliographies and unrecorded in any institution. Bound in eighteenth-century red half morocco by Carlo Zehe. Spine in six compartments, gilt-titled in one, and with gilt floral decorations in the other… Read More

Description:
Vancouver: Heavenly Monkey, 2018. Quarto. 63, (ii)pp. One of twenty-five copies (Series 3). With two leaves tipped in, one originating from George Wither's A Collection of Emblemes, Ancient & Moderne (London, 1635), and the other from the Nucleus Emblematum Selectissimorum of Gabriel Rollenhagen. This expansion on the leaf-book motif provides not only insight into but also a recreation of its source text. At the publisher's request, Wither created a game, in which volvelles directed readers to one of four books, and within each book to a particular emblem. Most existing copies of the book lack the volvelle page, which would have been torn out for use. In the present volume, the volvelles have been recreated, along with Wither's two introductory Notes to the Reader, and his instructions for playing the lottery. To these are added a considerable discussion of the original book's production as a feat of letterpress and intaglio printing. This copy's leaf from Rollenhagen shows his eleventh emblem,… Read More
