Encuadernación de tapa dura. Zustand: Muy bueno. In-12. [12], 225, [3] p. Bound in old full vellum. Woodcut printer's device on title page depicting a crowned mermaid at sea, holding her two tails, with a sunrise and ships in the background, surrounded by a foliate border. Initials "AB" with crosses and the motto: Non Sempre Nuoce. A rare and significant anthology, pivotal in the history of women's literature in Italy. This edition marks a semantic turning point regarding the professional status of female writers. According to The Feminist Encyclopedia of Italian Literature (Russell, 1997), this 1695 edition represents a crucial evolution: while the original compilation by Ludovico Domenichi (1545) was titled Rime diverse d'alcune nobilissime e virtuosissime donne emphasizing the authors' nobility and moral virtue Antonio Bulifon intentionally renamed this collection Rime di cinquanta poetesse. This specific rebranding serves as historical evidence of the shift in perception of women writers: no longer merely "virtuous ladies" who wrote casually, but acknowledged professionals worthy of the title "Poetess." Scholars like Marie-Francoise Piejus have further noted that this title change signals that the literary woman was finally accepted as a professional feature of Italian cultural life, legitimized under the sponsorship of the fashionable Academies, rather than remaining an exception defined solely by her character. Includes works and biographical notes on Vittoria Colonna, Veronica Gambara, Tullia d'Aragona, Laura Terracina, Marguerite de Valois, Francesca Baffo, and others.

The Director of the Economic Culture Fund ordered the publication of this notebook on the night of May 4, at the Casa de Pánuco 63, and in an accidental meeting of poets, philosophers and other guilds. 13 days later, at the feast of San Pascual Bailón and Alfonso Reyes, the Panamerican Graphic delivers it composed in Fairfield types and on Chemalin paper of good weight. The commemorative urgency, on justifying unfortunate absences, also avoided the danger that he himself added his Hymn, instead asked Elvira Gascón to draw the vignettes and reserved only the rope of the angels of the hill to stamp his embrace of colophon to Don Alfonso, in his 60s.

Vienna: Peter Gruder and Verein der Freunde der Zeitschrift Liberte, 1980-84. Quartos (30 × 21). Original staple-stitched pictorial wrappers (no. 3 not stapled); 28; 31, [1]; [32]; 32; 32; 32; 31, [1]; 32; 32; 32; 35, [1]; 35, [1]; 23, [1]; 19, [1] pp. (incl. wrappers) with numerous illustrations. Very good; one leaf with small cut-out with little loss of text; two with trace of pencil annotation to front wrapper. Near complete, sequential run of this Viennese anarchist journal, which lacks only the last two issues (nos. 15-16, after which it apparently ceased). "Liberté" was the central organ of the anarchist group in Vienna. However, the group also ran a "telephone newspaper" based on the Swiss model, where the latest news was recorded on a tape and could be listened to with a phone call. A group of 10 to 15 people made daily changing recordings on the tape. The magazine mainly dealt with the history and theory of anarchism as well as current political developments. It focused on feminism, among other things. Ideologically, the most important antagonists were communism and the then-existing socialism on the one hand and bourgeois capitalism and parliamentarism on the other. Thereby ideological fronts were deliberately undermined. For example, in an article in which Jesus is interpreted as a "revolutionary" and "critical innovator" with "anarchist traits" and Francis of Assisi as a "repressed imitator" of this movement. In addition to the usual heroes of anarchism such as Bakunin and Kropotkin, excerpts from an interview with Foucault, for example, were also reprinted and provided with a short commentary. The French theorist was regarded by the Viennese anarchists as someone who pointed out "one of the most central weaknesses of the left". Issue no. 11 is included in duplicate, on different color stock. As of July 2025, KVK, OCLC lists three runs in North America, of which two are incomplete. …

Budapest: Magyar Müvészeti Tanács, 1947-1948. Quartos (30 × 24 cm). Original pictorial wrappers; 41 to 68 pp. per issue. Numerous full-page illustrations, including some in color. About very good; light traces of use, one issue with somewhat defective binding; wrappers slightly toned and dust-stained. Complete run of this significant Hungarian post-war journal of modern and avant-garde art and culture, edited by Lajos Kassák, who reappeared as a graphic designer after a decade and a half by designing the covers and typography of the issues. What is remarkable about Kassák's post-war project is its openness toward the architectural and artistic positions that he believed he had overcome with Constructivism in the interwar period. His group of editors included not only Ernö Kállai, the former editor-in-chief of the "bauhaus" magazine published in Dessau under Hannes Meyer, but also the architect and art historian Virgil Borbiró (also known as Bierbauer), who until 1928 mainly produced historicist architectural designs. After a trip to Holland, he turned his attention to modern industrial architecture as well as reformist housing construction and ran the magazine "Tür és Forma". Among other things, he was now involved in major urban regulation plans in Budapest. His theoretical and practical engagement with urban planning was clearly influenced by his art history studies with Heinrich Wöfflin and his method of "comparative seeing". Already in the first issue of "Alkotás", Borbiró makes remarkable comparisons between various microscopic cell structures on the one hand and urban planning on the other in his essay "Új városépítés, természetes városépítés" (New urbanism, natural urbanism). He takes these comparisons so far that he ends up juxtaposing a carcinoma with a historical city map of Mechelen. In Kassák's circle, the machine alone was no longer the benchmark for the development of forms in art and architecture. Borbiró, who wrote his doctoral thesis on Bramante's first plans for St. Peter's in Rome, was not the only author in the journal who saw modernism in continuity with tradition (on Virgil Borbiró cf. AKL XII, 1996, p. 662). The architect, designer, and illustrator Lajos Kozma, whose designs are a far cry from Kassák's Constructivism, deals extensively with the development of the form of columns and pillars from antiquity through the Middle Ages to the Renaissance, for example, in No. 9-10. Similarly to Kassák's pre-war journals, such as A Tett, MA, and Dokumentum, Alkotás explored both the international and the Hungarian contemporary arts scene, but with a focus on emerging trends in the immediate post-war period. In contrast to the earlier journals, it avoided political statements in an attempt to create wide-ranging international networks. The immediate post-war period also saw Kassák himself turn away from his Constructivist rules. He began to paint figuratively again. When he returned to abstraction in the mid-1950s, however, this did not mean a return to the old mechanical rigor. For Kassák, the publication of "Alkotás" was linked to his involvement in the Art Council, which came to an end with the collapse of the democratic phase. The magazine was also discontinued after the Communist takeover in Hungary in 1948, whereupon many of its contributors went into exile or suffered a harsh fate in political prisons. (Cf. AKL LXXIX, 2013, p. 391) The issues include contributions by and about Pablo Picasso, Georges Braque, Henri Matisse, Moholy-Nagy, Robert Delaunay, Georges Rouault, Marcel Breuer, Lajos Kassák, Max Ernst, Jean Arp, Béla Czobel, Ödön Márffy, Gyula Derkovits, Gyula Hincz, Lajos Tihanyi, József Csáky, Jen? Barcsay, Károly Kernstok and others. Equal attention is paid to literature, painting, graphic arts, sculpture, and architecture. Csaplár, Cat. Budapest 1999, nr. 162.
