Cloth separated along most of the rear joint (though the volume perfectly tight), corners exposed, boards a bit sunned, spine label somewhat browned and slightly chipped; some foxing in lower margin (not dark, but extensive on about a dozen leaves), other trivial defects, but a perfectly good inexpensive copy of a book typically found in poor condition. This stately printing of one of Browne's most celebrated and enduring writings is perhaps the most attractive major work Ricketts attempted at the Vale Press. The Oxford Companion describes "Religio Medici" as "a confession of Christian faith (qualified by an eclectic and generally skeptical attitude), and a collection of opinions on a vast number of subjects more or less connected with religion, expressed with a wealth of fancy and wide erudition." Readers have always been fascinated by the book's style, by the mind that both style and contents reveal, and by the author's combination of detachment from the world and curiosity about its smallest physical objects. Browne says in his preface that the book was written for his "private exercise and satisfaction," but he was not repelled by its unauthorized publication in 1642, nor did he discourage its republication a year later. It is accompanied here by other pieces, including "Hydriotaphia: Urn Burial," one of the first archaeological monographs in English. Physician and writer Sir Thomas Browne (1605-82) was one of the great 17th century stylists of English prose, and one of the most innovative thinkers of his time. The Vale Press books, which Cave says were "far truer to the spirit of fifteenth-century printing than Kelmscott work," included nearly 50 titles issued during the eight-year life of the press, and both its impressive output and considerable artistic success can be attributed to the fact that Ricketts, who was remarkably skilled as a designer, painter, and illustrator, was in control of every facet of the operation. ONE OF 310 COPIES on paper (and 10 on vellum).

ONE OF 210 SETS (from an edition of 218 sets) printed on Arnold handmade paper, with wood-engraved borders of leaves and flowers, and large & small wood-engraved initial letters, pp. 141, [ii]; 122, [i], 8vo, original quarter grey patterned paper printed in red with sides of grey patterned paper printed in green, backstrips with printed labels, backstrip ends pushed, board corners slightly rubbed, edges untrimmed with light dust-soiling to top edge, free endpapers toned as usual, very good. A highly attractive production, issued in an edition of 210 on paper, and 8 on vellum, the intricate entwined border of wild briony, the wood-engraved initials and the binding's 'bird and rose' paper all designed by Charles Ricketts.
