The Tale of the Genji Scroll. Introduction by Yoshinobu TOKUGAWA:.
Tokyo and Palo Alto, Kodansha International, 1971. Oblong heavy folio. Unpaginated.
Illustrated with tipped in glossy color reproductions. Splendid edition printed in 1500 numbered copies, ours number 56. Let the publishers discuss the special care involved in making this book.In the production of this book, care has been taken to reflect as far as possible the Heian aesthetic tastes that gave birth to The Tale of Genji Scroll. The vivid safflower red of the box was a colour worn only by the highest-ranking nobility—and also recalls, incidentally, the name given to the un-fortunate, red-nosed Suetsumuhana. The lining of handmade rice-paper, scattered with gold leaf, echoes the decorated paper used for the scroll's sheets of calligraphy. The cloth cover, reproducing an aristocratic Heian wave design against a royal purple ground, was prepared by Takata Shizuo, whose family has for generations been designing and making ceremonial costumes for the Japanese Imperial Household. The purple is matched with pale greyish green— a combination (Hollyhock') much favoured in Heian-period costume. The pattern used for the ribbon was known as 'Woodpecker', since it suggested the effect produced on the bark of a tree by a woodpecker's beak. Traditional Japanese book-making techniques are reflected in the extension of the spine to cover part of the head and tail of the volume, and in the use of ribbon in the bookbinding. The green wash on the endpapers, evocative of new spring foliage, is brushed on by hand. This type of shading from the base upwards was known as susogo, one of three basic types of colour gradation recognized in Heian times and employed, for example, in the many-layered skirts of Heian costumes and in the dyeing of curtains of state. A truly beautiful copy without a single flaw.

Sixième édition collective de Chaucer, mais première due à Thomas Speght, qui fera autorité jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle. Shakespeare, Milton ou Dryden liront Chaucer dans cette édition. En effet, l'édition de Speght marque un tournant dans la réception de Chaucer, et parait ici pour la première fois en anglais une biographie, un lexique avec les mots anciens, obscurs et difficiles - chose remarquable pour l'époque, une table des auteurs cités par Chaucer, et 10 pages d'annotations. Spenght a ajouté deux textes inédits "The Floure and the Leafe" et "Chaucer's dream". Belle typographie en deux colonnes, nombreuses lettrines gravées sur bois, la page de titre est décorée d'une belle composition, et trois pages de titre bellement illustrées pour diviser les trois livres (The Canterbury Tales, The Romaunt of the Rose et The Story of Thebes). Grande armoirie gravée au verso du prologue et un bel en-tête pour le début de The Knight Tales. Le portrait de Chaucer manque ici (comme souvent) ainsi que les feuillets blancs initiaux et finaux; petite tache d'encre au verso du ff. 194. Au ff. 90 on lit la signature de Karrin Willcocke (XVIIe siècle?).Sixth collective edition of Chaucer, but the first by Thomas Speght, which will be authoritative until the 18th century. Shakespeare, Milton or Dryden would have been reading Chaucer in Speght's edition. Indeed, this edition marks a turning point in the reception of Chaucer, and here appears for the first time in English a biography, a lexicon with ancient, obscure and difficult words - something remarkable for the time, a table of authors cited by Chaucer, and 10 pages of annotations. Spenght has added two unpublished texts "The Floure and the Leafe" and "Chaucer's dream". Fine typography in two columns, many initials engraved on wood, the title page is decorated with a beautiful composition, and three beautifully illustrated title pages to divide the three books (The Canterbury Tales, The Romaunt of the Rose and The Story of Thebes). Large coat of arms engraved on the back of the prologue and a beautiful header for the beginning of The Knight Tales. The portrait of Chaucer is missing here (as often) as the initial and final white sheets; little ink stain on the back of the ff. 194. At the ff. 90 we read the signature of Karrin Willcocke (seventeenth century?). The binding is signed Rivère.
The Moon or Selenology in its Various Aspects.
Geneva, Nagel Publishers, 1970. 12 mo, 176 pages, full red percaline, gilt title, orange headband, dust jacket printed in red.
96 black-and-white illustrations, 7 colour illustrations and 4 folded maps. "Handbooks for more than 40 earthbound locations have so far been published in the popular range ofNAGEL'S ENCYCLOPEDIA-GUIDES. Now we have this illustrated special edition dedicated for the first time to an extra-terrestrial area.After the epoch-making success of space flight and especially following man's first landing on the MOON, people on our planet have become interested in tourist space travel. For a long time they have been talking about plans for hotels on the moon, and Pan American World Airways have a waiting list of about 80,000 who want to fly there.To match the flow of swiftly moving ideas, the thought of a travel guide for the moon does not seem so far fetched. However, the realisation of such an idea might only increase the flood of recent ephemeral publications on man's advance into the universe.Instead we have endeavoured to make this book a more lasting contribution to the illustrated history of lunar science, thus adding a new volume- in this case, of purely encyclopedic character - to the above mentioned range.The task of editing the explanatory text and compiling the illustrations has been entrusted to Dr. Peter Baumgarten. Our special acknowledgement goes to the various learned bodies mentioned in the legends to the illustrations, who have generously made available material from their records." NAGEL PUBLISHERS.

The loves of the angels, a poem [relié avec] The Island; or, Christian and his comrades [relié avec] The age of bronze; or, Carem seculare et annus haud mirabilis [relié avec] Rhymes on the road, fables, etc. [relié avec] The vision of judgment. By Quevedo Redivivus. Suggested by the composition so entitled by the author of "Wat Tyler".
Paris, Galignani, 1823 / 1822. In-12 de [2]-119; [2]-95; [2]-38-[2]; XII-135; [2]-56 pages, demi-veau blond à petits coins, dos lisse orné de filets, roulettes et titre ("Byron - Poêmes") dorés, étiquette de titre caramel. Petites galeries de vers, rares rousseurs. Ex-libris Charles de Constant-Rebecque.
Un verset du sixième chapitre de la Genèse inspira l’idée de "The loves of the angels" à Moore, en même temps qu’il donna à Byron le motif d’un poème. Le mystère de lord Byron ("Heaven and Earth, a mystery") parut peu de temps avant que Moore ne publie son poème. Deux poètes amis écrivant sur le même sujet, voici ce qui explique la présence du poème de Moore dans une reliure dédiée à Byron, de même que la présence ici de "Rhymes on the road" s'explique par la dédicace à Byron. L'Age de bronze, est la satire du congrès de Vérone (1822), quant à "The vision of judgment" c'est une réponse satirique (écrite sous le nom de Quevedo "recyclé", poète espagnol du XVIIe siècle, connu pour ses satires tranchants) à la Vision du Jugement de Robert Southey publié en 1820 à la mémoire de George III. 3 texte de Byron, 2 de Moore.
