Description:
very fine binding by Zaehndorf. Dark brown calf binding with gilt title, raised gilt decorated banding on the spine. Gilt on all edges. A magnificent copy printed in 1906A 1906 Reprint prompted by Bernard Alfred Quaritch, of his father's the 1st edition of1859 which consisted of 75 quatrains The authenticity of the poetry attributed to Omar Khayyam is highly uncertain. Khayyam was famous during his lifetime not as a poet but as an astronomer and mathematician. The earliest reference to his having written poetry is found in his biography by al-Isfahani, written 43 years after his death. This view is reinforced by other medieval historians such as Shahrazuri (1201) and Al-Qifti (1255). Parts of the Rubaiyat appear as incidental quotations from Omar in early works of biography and in anthologies. These include works of Razi (ca. 1160–1210), Daya (1230), Juvayni (ca. 1226–1283), and Jajarmi (1340). Also, five quatrains assigned to Khayyam in somewhat later sources appear in Zahiri Samarqandi's… Read More

1878 EXQUISITE William Shakespeare Illustrated Charles Knight Romeo Juliet 2vA beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!
In the mid-19th-century, Charles Knight published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be very popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all of the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.
This 1878 American edition was published in Philadelphia by Amies. An impressive example of Shakespeare.

New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons / The Knickerbocker Press, 1927. Half-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket. Corners a bit rubbed, boards faintly soiled, ink date and owner bookplate of Robert N. Cherry on front flyleaf. 1927 Half-Leather. iv, 325 pp. 8vo. No binder's ticket, but appears to be a contemporary custom rebinding: blue leather spine and corners over blue cloth, gilt titles and rules, top edge gilt, new end sheets. "The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin is the traditional name for the unfinished record of his own life written by Benjamin Franklin from 1771 to 1790; however, Franklin himself appears to have called the work his Memoirs. Although it had a tortuous publication history after Franklin's death, this work has become one of the most famous and influential examples of an autobiography ever written. Franklin's account of his life is divided into four parts, reflecting the different periods at which he wrote them.
