In den WarenkorbFirst work: 185 x 130 mm. (7 1/4 x 5 1/4"); second work: 265 x 175 mm. (10 3/8 x 6 3/8"). 1 p.l., 19 pp., [1] leaf; 3 p.l., 6 pp., [1] leaf. Two separately published works. Poetica Typographia Johnsoniana in publisher's brown paper wrappers, front cover printed in black. "A Leaf from John Johnson's Typographia" in publisher's li…ght gray cloth, front cover with a paper label. Poetica Typographia Johnsoniana with wood engravings after those in Johnson. EACH VOLUME WITH A LEAF FROM JOHNSON'S 1824 "TYPOGRAPHIA" TIPPED IN. Disbound and Dispersed 122 & 174. See also: Bigmore & Wyman, pp. 371-73. Both volumes in fine condition; the tipped-in leaves near fine (one just a bit foxed, the other with a faint dampstain). This duo of leaf books celebrates John Johnson's classic work on the history and art of printing, notable for its small type and unusual formatting. According to Bigmore & Wyman, "Of the few standard works on the art of printing in the English language, this is perhaps the most familiar . . . . It abounds with information of a very useful character, spiced with conceits manifesting the originality, humour, and freshness of the author. . . . The type, never larger than brevier, sometimes is as small as pearl, and the intricacy of the composition evinces the wonderful patience of Johnson." Bigmore & Wyman conclude that "Whatever its defects and shortcomings, it has long since become, and deservedly, a printer's classic, and one in which the youngest apprentice as well as the most experienced journeyman finds matter of an amusing as well as useful nature." First published in 1824, the "Typographia" was issued simultaneously in four formats: 32mo, 16mo, 8vo, and royal 8vo, also known as the "Roxburghe Edition," having been distributed to members of the exclusive bibliophilic group known as the Roxburghe Club. The first leaf book offered here, printed in 1959, contains a specimen leaf from the 32mo edition (without the typographic borders), as well as excerpts from the original work coupled with a series of woodcut vignettes; the second item, published in 1982 on the occasion of the Zamorano Club meeting in October of that year, contains a specimen leaf from the 16mo edition (with the typographic borders), as well as an essay by Carey S. Bliss, former head librarian of the Huntington Library. Both leaf books are in lovely condition and make an excellent pairing. ONE OF 75 COPIES (of the first work); ONE OF 200 COPIES (of the second work).

In den Warenkorb490 x 325 mm. (19 1/4 x 13"). viii, 23, [1] pp., [1] leaf. Publisher's quarter vellum over gray paper boards, covers with device in gilt, smooth spine lettered in gilt. In (just slightly chafed) black buckram slipcase. WITH A MAP FROM THE ORIGINAL 1619 ATLAS bound in, with period hand coloring. (Map 293, "Tarvisina Marchia Et Ti…rolis Comitatus"). De Hamel & Silver, "Disbound and Dispersed" 186. One corner a bit bumped, otherwise the main volume flawless; the map edges a bit browned and just slightly frayed, a few light spots, but still excellent, with good color and strong general appeal. This attractive oversized production includes an original map of an important region of northeastern Italy, taken from the 1619 edition of the Mercator-Hondius atlas. A pioneer in commercial cartography and a founder of the Netherlandish school of cartography and geography, Mercator (1512-94) produced maps used around the world that were informed by his brilliant "Mercator Projection," which allowed the round Earth to be accurately depicted on a flat map. Near the end of his life, he began work on an ambitious cosmography that would contain an account of the creation of the world, a description of the universe, descriptions of the countries and oceans of the world, genealogies and political histories of the several countries, and a chronology of the cosmos. Only the account of creation, the chronology, and maps of the known regions of the world came to fruition. Mercator having died before the work came to press, it was completed by his heirs and published in 1595 with 107 maps. Leading Amsterdam map publisher Jodocus Hondius (1563-1612) acquired the plates in 1604 and issued the first Mercator-Hondius "Atlas" in 1606, with 37 maps he had engraved added to the original 107. Teacher and Hondius' brother-in-law Pieter van den Berg wrote the introduction and the descriptive text that appears on the versos of the maps. A 1611 edition increased the number of maps to 150, and another six were added in 1619. The hand-colored map included in our copy depicts the South Tyrol and Veneto regions, including Lake Garda, Verona, Padua, and Venice. It is accompanied with an essay by Norman J. W. Thrower (1919-2020), UCLA geography professor and cartographer, describing the historical background of the atlas. Joel Silver, in "Disbound and Dispersed," tells us that "the physical production of this leaf book is superb, from the design by Vance Gerry to the presswork of Patrick Reagh.". ONE OF 89 COPIES in quarter vellum (of a total edition of 115).

In den Warenkorb181 x 127 mm. (7 1/8 x 5"). Single column, 19 lines in a careful, pleasing gothic book hand. In a very attractive new gilt wooden frame. Rubrics in pink (or faded red), one two-line initial in blue, magenta, and burnished gold, two lines with undulating line fillers in blue and gold, both sides of the leaf with a three-quarter p…anel border incorporating foliage, blossoms, and ivy leaves on hairline stems, the vertical part of this frame with a bar border composed of colors and burnished gold terminating at top and bottom in colorful acanthus leaves, and WITH TWO SMALL BUT VERY PLEASING MINIATURE PAINTINGS, SAINT ELIZABETH ON THE RECTO AND SAINT GERTRUDE ON THE VERSO. âTiny worm(?)hole in fore edge (where it has done negligible damage), small portions of the blue paint in the Elizabeth miniature eroded (gray paint slightly smeared as well, but apparently at the time of painting), otherwise in fine, clean, fresh condition. This leaf is characteristic work from the circle of Willem Vrelant, the leading purveyor of books of private devotion in Bruges during the third quarter of the 15th century. His leading position among Flemish illuminators of the time is indicated by the considerable number of manuscripts illustrated in his manner by other miniaturists both in Bruges and in nearby cities in Flanders. The illuminator of our Book of Hours shows a number of distinctive stylistic traits. Among these are a preference for boldly patterned cloth backdrops, tessellated flooring, landscapes filled with stylized bushes and trees, and persisting prominent architectural constructions that frame the subject, frequently in a corner (in these leaves, it is a waist-high outdoor wall or an indoor feature resembling wainscoting). The inclination for strong geometrical patterning is manifested in the artist's angular treatment of human figures and their garments. Dressed in pink and blue, Elizabeth is depicted with a sweet, round face. She is saluted here as the woman worthy to be the mother of John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Redeemer. Gertrude is dressed in monastic black, although a pink undergarment is visible, and her inky habit is trimmed in gold. This shimmering feature is a reminder that Gertrude (626-59) was the daughter of Pepin I of Landen, Mayor of the Palace for the Frankish realm of Austrasia and the forebear of Charlemagne. Gertrude is a natural choice for illustration by an artist of Bruges, since she was the patron of nearby Nivelles. The saint was routinely invoked for aid in coping with mice, and is here shown surrounded by four animated rodents as black as her habit. No legend survives to explain why she had such power over the creatures, who seem here to be more her pets (one climbs her staff of office) than her victims.
