Govi, Fabrizio I CLASSICI CHE HANNO FATTO L'ITALIA: PER UN NUOVO CANONE BIO-BIBLIOGRAFICO DEGLI AUTORI ITALIANI.
THE CLASSICS THAT HAVE MADE ITALY: A NEW BIO-BIBLIOGRAPHY OF ITALIAN AUTHORS
with an introductory essay by John Ragone and a note by Umberto Pregliasco Modena Giorgio Regnani Editore 2010 8.25 x 11.25 inches hardcover, dust jacket 415 pages
I Classici Che Hanno Fatto Ltalia (or The Classics That Have Made Italy) offers itself as a counterpart to the great work Printing and the Mind of Man, illustrating the history of the Italian culture through a selection of works by Italian authors (by birth or adoption) from the thirteenth-century to the present.

The publishing history of a text, whether a masterpiece or the work of a pioneering era, can be broken into two parts: information on the production and dissemination of works such as print runs, reprints, counterfeits, privileges, trade agreements, etc; and the mutual relationship between the press and the readers, showing how the printed book has influenced the way people read and write. Each work explained in the book calls special attention to editorial strategies such as format, font, illustrations, dedications, etc. The Classics That Have Made Italy is not just a list of prominent texts defining Italian history or a history of the Italian book from a typographic standpoint, but also a chronological overview of known printed texts.

The Classics That Have Made Italy provides the edition, background information, references, historical and cultural significance of each work, brief biography of the author, and an index. An essay by John Ragone examining the transformation of Italy from the fifteenth century is included. The book is written in Italian and accompanied by an English translation of the introduction.

Fabrizio Govi, who graduated from Bologna in 1997 with a degree in literature, is an antiquarian bookseller in Modena. John Ragone teaches at the University of Rome La Sapienza and has contributed to a number of books, including A Century of Books, Publishing in Italy, History and Scenarios for the XXI Century, Communication Memory, and others. Umberto Pregliasco works at an antiquarian bookshop in Turin and is the author of several articles on the bibliophile and trade and protection of antique books. He has been the chairman of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of Italy (ALAI) since 2004.

(Grew, Nehemiah) Lefanu, William R. NEHEMIAH GREW, A STUDY AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF HIS WRITINGS.
Winchester St. Paul's Bibliographies 1990 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. xvii, 182 pages.
First edition. Nehemiah Grew was a pioneer in exploring the physiology of plants and the comparative anatomy of animals. He was an active Fellow of the Royal Society and one of its busiest officers in its first great period during the 1670s. Born in Warwickshire in 1641, he was educated at Cambridge and practiced as a physician in the City of London where he died in 1712.
William LeFanu's pioneer study of Grew's work surveys writings on many subjects but primarily his publications in botany and chemistry. Most notable among these are The Anatomy of Plants(1682) - a landmark in the literature of botany and Grew's most influential work - and his catalogue of the Royal Society's Museum (1681).

Mansfield Centre Martino Publishing Co. n.d. but 2002 8vo. cloth. vi, (ii), 299+(1) pages.
Facsimile edition of a volume originally published in Paris in 1899 by the Librarie Dorbon. Not in Besterman. The son of a noble Italian family, Stanislas de Guaita was born in the castle of Alteville. His early studies developed his natural propensity toward the empirical sciences, and he reached a level of true mastery for his time. Over the years, however, his search to satisfy his artistic and literary spirit led him into metaphysics and the study of Cabala. He gathered in his house the largest private library of writings on metaphysical subjects, magic and hidden sciences that could be found in France in that century. This hard to find catalogue includes 2227 books on the occult along with a list of anonymous titles.

Hardison, Brian Davon BURRIANA: A CATALOGUE OF RARE BOOKS, PAMPHLETS, LETTERS, MANUSCRIPTS, DOCUMENTS, & OBJECTS BY, ABOUT, OR RELATING TO AARON BURR AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES.
New York The Grolier Club 2012 6 x 9.25 inches hardcover 306 pages
This book was produced to accompany the exhibition "Aaron Burr Returns to New York," on show at the Grolier Club May 15-July 28, 2012; but it is also a detailed record of all the most important items from Brian Hardisons superb and comprehensive collection of Aaron Burr, Jr., (1756-1836).

Soldier, lawyer, statesman, and the third Vice President of the United States under Jefferson, Burr was also one of the most maligned figures of the founding era, accused of attempting to steal the Presidential election of 1800 from Thomas Jefferson, of murdering Alexander Hamilton in 1804, and of treason in 1807. Yet a careful examination of contemporary documents, including the five hundred plus items described in this catalogue, reveals a far more complex persona, one whose support for womens rights, the arts and the nascent anti-slavery movement were among the most progressive of his time. The documents show a military hero, a highly skilled lawyer, a caring family man, and a great philanthropist, not to mention a very able politician. Hero or villain, Burr was an enormously influential (if controversial) public figure whose impact continues to be felt today.

The catalogue is organized chronologically and focuses on major events in Burrs life, including his role in the first murder trial in United States history, the presidential elections of 1796 and 1800, and his trial for treason. Illustrated in color throughout, the book contains a thirteen-page introduction, useful appendices, and an index.

(Harvard) Bond, William H. and Hugh Amory (editors). PRINTED CATALOGUES OF THE HARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY, 1723-1790
Boston Colonial Society of Massachusetts 1996 thick 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. (xlii), 710 pages.
First edition. Printed Catalogues is an important record of 17th- and 18th-century books in the first printed university and public catalogue of the Harvard College Library. By 1764, the Library was considered the most substantial library in British North America at the time. For scholars of book history, American history and education, Printed Catalogues provides insight into the books of the period, the early formation of this academic institution and the education of its early students. This work includes the "Catalogue of the Books of the Harvard College Library" (Boston, 1723-35), "Select Catalogue of Books in the Library of Cambridge Most Frequently Used by Harvard Men" (Boston, 1773) and the "Catalogue of the Harvard Library in Cambridge, New England" (Boston, 1790), as translated from their titles. All these have been reproduced with enhanced legibility. A brief introduction outlines the history of the catalogues, the library and the manuscript materials for its study, which are not included. Though the 1723 catalogue describes books destroyed by fire in 1764, these 3,000 volumes composed the first library at Harvard College and are arranged alphabetically by author and title in this work. The strength of the collection is in divinity and classical philology, but the subjects of law, medicine and science are also prominent. The 1773 catalogue is a brief undergraduate reading list, mainly of interest for the history of the College and its curriculum. The 1790 catalogue describes the roughly 9,000 volumes acquired between 1764 and 1790, categorized by subjects which range much more widely than those of the earlier library due to the intellectual interests of its chief donor, Thomas Hollis. An index of authors and titles allows the user to locate the catalogue entries in modern references such as the British Museum Catalogue or the pre-1956 National Union Catalogue and, conversely, to check Harvard's 18th-century holdings of particular titles. The facsimiles and index have been prepared by William H. Bond, Librarian Emeritus of The Houghton Library and authority on Thomas Hollis, along with the help of Hugh Amory, Senior Rare Book cataloguer at the Harvard College Library.

Havens, Earle (ed.) THE DR. ELLIOTT & EILEEN HINKES COLLECTION OF RARE BOOKS IN THE HISTORY OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Baltimore The Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University 2011 9.5 x 12 inches paperback 122 pages
First edition. In addition to providing a complete bibliography of the Dr. Elliott and Eileen Hinkes Collection of Rare Books in the History of Scientific Discovery, this beautifully-illustrated volume includes narrative essays that put the books in the collection into their proper historical context.

With well over 250 individual items, the Hinkes Collection encompasses over 500 years of printing history in the West. The collection is remarkable both in its quality and breadth of materials, and is distinguished by its disciplined focus on the true "Eureka!" moments that have permanently transformed our understanding of the natural world since the era of classical antiquity. This collection of rare books was donated to the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University in 2010 by the Hinkes family, and appears here for the first time fully described in printed form.

A graduate of Johns Hopkins University's School of Arts and Sciences in 1964, and the School of Medicine in 1967, Dr. Hinkes maintained a private medical practice in oncology and hematology in the Los Angeles area for several decades, while also serving as an Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA.

Dr. Hinkes gathered this rich collection over a period of two decades focusing, in particular, upon the history of astronomy and physics. However, his collecting interests were widespread, including mathematics, the planetary sciences, meteorology, biology, chemistry, optics, and technology.

This volume is illustrated in full color throughout and was beautifully designed by Scott J. Vile at the Ascensius Press.

`t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2000 8vo cloth xxv, 291 pages.
The collection of English books printed before 1801 in the University Library of the Vrije Universiteit at Amsterdam is one of the largest collections of such books outside the English-speaking world, and by far the largest in the Netherlands. The collection numbers 5,600 titles and covers all subjects, but is especially concentrated on (reformed) Protestantism in Great Britain, the Netherlands and America, and the exchange of ideas between these countries. The collection of which the existence is practically unknown, contains many rare items from the 16th to the 18th century. It covers the periods of the well-known and widely used bibliographies of English printed books (STC, Wing, and ESTC); in a large number of cases the catalogue entries correct or supplement these bibliographies. The catalogue is aimed both at a general public of bibliographers, literary and book historians working with books from the STC, Wing and ESTC periods, and at researchers in the Netherlands, Great Britain and elsewhere specialized in church history and the manifold historical and cultural relations between the British Isles and the Low Countries.

Hellinga, Lotte CATALOGUE OF BOOKS PRINTED IN THE XVTH CENTURY NOW IN THE BRITISH LIBRARY
BMC, Part XI England `t Goy-Houten HES & DE GRAAF 2007 11.25 x 15.25 inches hardcover 518 pages
Since the appearance in 1908 of the first volume of BMC, the work has been relied on as one of the main authorities on the earliest printing in Europe. Its coverage of early printing from the European countries in which the new technique was successively introduced provides not only extensive bibliographical descriptions, but introduces the material with an analysis of the development of printing in the relevant areas.

The eleventh volume to appear in the series covers England, where printing was not introduced until 1476, a good twenty years after the appearance of the earliest printed books in Mainz. The England volume of BMC responds to the special circumstances of early printing in England by giving particular attention to textual transmission, systematically following each text from source or copy to print whenever possible. Printing-house methods of book-production get full consideration. Notes on further dissemination are extended by an analysis of early ownership (and by implication of readership) taking account of material outside The British Library collection. This is followed by a history of the formation of the collection from 1753 in The British Museum, which began with the great collectors of the eighteenth century, and in which the antiquarian book-trade of this and later periods had an important role. In view of the new focal points of interest, the bibliographical descriptions are more elaborate than in the previous volumes, and include extensive notes on provenance and early readers which are the work of Margaret Nickson. A new forensic element is the systematic investigation of paper used by the printing houses until Caxton's death in 1492, when the nature of production changed. This was undertaken by Paul Needham, who contributes a separate introduction on the trade in paper and paper as evidence for dating and production processes. His investigation, together with the evidence of the use of printing types, underlies the new chronological arrangement which has to be the basis for any interpretation. The resulting chronological list of all printing in England before 1501 is presented in separate tables. The work includes descriptions of 323 copies of books, representing 221 editions of items printed in England, out of a total of 395 known to date, extensive introductions and 52 full-size plates accompanying the descriptions of printing types. With four full-color and numerous black-and-white illustrations of type and watermarks.

(Hemingway, Ernest) Grissom, C. Edgar ERNEST HEMINGWAY: A DESCRIPTIVE BIBLIOGRAPHY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2011 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket, with DVD 644 pages, plus 112 on DVD
Edgar Grissom's Ernest Hemingway: A Descriptive Bibliography can succinctly be described as the culmination of all previous endeavors in Hemingway bibliography. Grissom corrects the work of previous bibliographers, adding numerous editions and printings to the periods they covered and addressing the years 1975-2009, which had previously been left untouched. This is the only bibliography of Hemingway to classify edition, printing, issue, and state, and provide a classical bibliographical description. It is the only text that provides and describes every printing of every edition, as well as a comprehensive list of the parent editions of the primary works. Additionally, the text supplies the locations of those copies described. Grissom questions and corrects established Hemingway misconceptions, with references to support all of his claims. All continental editions are recognized: Albatross Continental Library, Continental Book Company, Zephyr Books, and Tauchnitz volumes, and Grissom treats with equal bibliographical importance the foreign, American, and English printings, providing full bibliographical descriptions of each.

The book includes a number of useful appendices: Grissom has created sections with reviews and epigraphs containing material by Hemingway, interviews with Hemingway, as well as lists of plays, television productions, and films adapted from Hemingway's works. An informative introduction describes key terms and abbreviations used throughout.

The bibliography is generously illustrated with title pages and copyright pages throughout the text. Accompanying the printed volume is a DVD-ROM with more than 2,000 color illustrations, including more than 50 images of Hemingway's signature from 1908 to 1960. These include dust jackets, covers, and spines, allowing for accurate comparison and identification of nearly all of Hemingway's work. The DVD-ROM also includes more than 112 pages of additional text. Ernest Hemingway: A Descriptive Bibliography is sure to be the definitive resource for Hemingway collectors, scholars, and libraries for many years to come.

Dr. C. Edgar Grissom is a retired physician living with his wife and their five rescued cats on a lake in the piney woods of southern Mississippi. Maintaining a lifelong interest in Ernest Hemingway, Dr. Grissom has collected for over forty years and has devoted the last twelve years to researching and writing this bibliography. His primary interest remains the bibliographical scholarship of materials pertinent to the development of standard editions. He is presently engaged in collating editions of Hemingway's primary works from the period 1923-1952.
