(Pforzheimer, Carl H.) Unger, Emma V. and William A. Jackson CARL H. PFORZHEIMER LIBRARY, ENGLISH LITERATURE, 1475-1700.
3 volumes. New Castle, Delaware and Los Angeles Oak Knoll Press & Heritage Book Shop Inc. 1997 small 4to. cloth 1350 pages
Limited to 700 copies. Originally printed and limited to only 150 copies, this legendary three-volume work describes over 1,300 English literary rare books and manuscripts in the Carl H. Pforzheimer Library, one of the foremost American collections of early English literature, now housed at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center. The original catalogue, extremely difficult and expensive to find on the antiquarian market (normally priced around the $8,000 mark), fully describes all the books and manuscripts in Pforzheimer's collection of English literature, making it a most valuable reference for the scholar, researcher, librarian, book collector and bookseller. This work puts each description into various contexts: authorship, textual authority, sequence of editions and publishing history, reference concordance and rarity. The collection also gathers together the best books by the best authors in this period of English literature. Begun by Emma V. Unger and completed by William A. Jackson, the catalogue is primarily arranged in alphabetical order by author. Translations and anonymous books in most cases have been placed under the name of the translator or the attributed author. These can be readily found through full cross references and in the Index of Anonymous Books. In addition, a new addendum consisting of thirteen pages of books added later to the Library are included. Originally designed by Frederic Warde, Bruce Rogers completed the work with additional design and title pages after Warde's untimely death. After the acquisition of the Library by the University of Texas at Austin in 1986, many scholars, librarians and booksellers have urged the University to republish this catalogue. Now reproduced with great care and attention to quality, this new printing preserves Jackson's matchless style and Rogers's design. This edition is published jointly by Oak Knoll Press and Heritage Book Shop Inc. in a press run of 700 copies. The text is printed on quality 60 lb. Natural Smooth paper. The volumes are strongly bound in cloth with gold-stamped titles on the spines and the Pforzheimer monogram on the front boards.

(Polonus, Stanislaus) Ruppel, Aloys STANISLAUS POLONUS, POLSKI DRUKARZ I WYDAWCA WCZESNEJ DOBY W HISZPANII.
Kraków Panstwowe Wydawnictwo Naukowe 1970 4to. cloth, dust jacket, slipcase 275, (3) pages
Printed in an edition of 1,000 copies. Translated from German into Polish by Tadeusz Zapiór. Expanded from the original Stanislaus Polonus ein polnischer Frühdrucker in Spanien., produced by Anatoly Girs and published in 1946 by Oficyna Warszawska. Beautifully produced and printed in red and black with wide margins on heavy paper, the book reproduces text, woodcuts, initials, headpieces, tailpieces, fleurons and other ornaments from Polonus's work. Several of the lush woodcuts from Gaspar Gorrico's Contemplaciones sobre el Rosario appear throughout, and some, such as The Coronation and The Adoration of the Magi, are accorded full-page treatment, where they display the artist's attention to detail. Polonus collaborated on this series with his long-time partner, Meinardo Ungut, and Ruppel included numerous samples from their other joint projects, such as a page of text and music from Processionarium Ordinis Praedicatorum and the title-page woodcut plus a page of text from Floreto de San Francisco. Working on his own later in Alcalá, Polonus printed among other items a 4-volume edition of Vita Christi Cartuxano, and its title page woodcut with royal arms is reproduced, portraying him presenting the work to Ferdinand and Isabella (Clair, p. 218). On the verso in red and black is the colophon as it appeared with Polonus's pressmark. Frontispiece tipped-in. 1946 colophon included. Slipcase rubbed.

(Savonarola, Girolamo) Gruyer, Gustave LES ILLUSTRATIONS DES ÉCRITS JÉROME SAVONAROLE PUBLIÉS EN ITALIE AU XVE ET AU XVI SIÈCLE ET LES PAROLES DE SAVONAROLE SUR L'ART
Paris Institut de France 1879 4to. later cloth with original stiff paper wrappers bound in; leather spine label; uncut fore edge, deckled tail edge vi, 221 pages
Limited edition of 300 copies. The subject of this volume is Girolamo Savonarola, the radical reforming Dominican who caused the expulsion of Pietro de' Medici, instituted of the Bonfires of the Vanities in Florence's public squares, and was eventually hanged and burned publicly. The text of this volume is divided into two sections. The first covers the illustrated editions of the writings of Girolamo Savonarola published in Italy during the fifteenth- and sixteenth-centuries. Some subjects, like the Crucifixion, are familiar, while others seem more particular to the works of Savonarola. The second section covers Savonarola's writings on art, culled from his larger oeuvre and collated together for interpretive discussion in this essay. The tables at the end of the volume provide lists of editions of Savonarola's works illustrated and printed in Italy, grouped by city of publication. Foreign works (cited in the book) with engravings as illustrations, are listed by city of publication. With black-and-white plates. A detailed table of contents also appears. With a memorial bookplate indicating that this book came from the reference library and stock of H.P. Kraus. Some foxing.

Staikos, Konstantinos Sp. CHARTA OF GREEK PRINTING.
The contribution of Greek editors, printers and publishers to the Renaissance in Italy and the West. Volume I: Fifteenth century. Cologne Verlag J. Dinter 1998 4to. cloth, stiff paper slipcase. lxx, 557+(1) pages, with one loose sheet laid in.
First edition. With the patronage and interest of Italian humanists and humanistically inclined rulers, Greek scholars, translators and teachers were already established in Italy at the time of the introduction of printing (which happened to come at about the time of the fall of the Byzantine Empire). It was quickly realized that printing provided an opportunity for disseminating classical Greek texts and their translations, as a kind of extension of the teaching of Greek and classical Greek literature already taking place. Thus Greek texts, and persons able to copy, edit and translate these texts were needed, as well as individuals skilled in designing Greek types and printing in Greek. The first Italian book in Greek appeared in Milan, c. 1470. This book, volume one of a proposed history of pre-19th-century Greek printing, concentrates on five topics of the incunabula period: Greek-owned printing presses, editions of classical texts published by Italian presses with Greek participation, Greek books published by Italian printers, Latin translations (mostly by Greeks), and the production and use of Greek type, whether in Greek or non-Greek texts. The fourteen chapters are monographs of varying length, each organized around a Greek scholar, writer, editor, type-designer or printer, with a discussion of that person's life and works, a discussion of associates, and of printings and publications. For example, the discussion of Aldus Manutius constitutes a subsection of the chapter on Aldus' Greek collaborator and editor, Markos Mousouros. Persons selected did not necessarily have a direct connection with printing; Manuel Chrysoloaris, for example, died in Italy in 1415, but he was an influential teacher, one of whose works was repeatedly printed in the incunabula era. On the other hand, Zacharias Kallierges and Nikolaos Vlastos appear because they operated a Greek press in Venice and may have designed type. Chapters have extensive footnotes. There are also six tables, a list of abbreviations, a bibliography, and a general index. One-hundred twenty-eight illustrations include facsimiles of printed and manuscript texts, engraved portraits, printers' and publishers' marks, decorated Greek initials, and some headpieces. Laid-in at the back is a folded "Historical Map of Greek Printing" (14 x 25 in.). First published in Greek in 1989.

Thienen, Gerard van, John Goldfinch (editors) INCUNABULA PRINTED IN THE LOW COUNTRIES (ILC). A CENSUS.
Nieuwkoop HES & DE GRAAF 1999 6.5 x 9.5 inches cloth 696 pages
Incunabula of the Low Countries (ILC) is a census of fifteenth-century books printed in the area of the present-day Netherlands and Belgium. It lists 2,229 editions in more than 14,300 copies preserved in hundreds of libraries, museums, and archives all over the world, but mainly in Europe and the USA. The entries for this census have been derived from the Incunabula Short Title Catalogue (ISTC), the database of incunabula compiled at the British Library. They combine research on Low Countries incunabula carried out by Gerard van Thienen, curator at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek in The Hague, with data assembled by ISTC form other sources. ISTC entries were further edited, indexed and prepared for publication by John Goldfinch at the British Library. Campbell's Annales of 1874, the first bibliography of incunabula printed in the Low Countries with 1794 entries, was followed by a number of supplements of increasing complexity, the most extensive being published by M.E. Kronenberg in 1956. All the former additions and emendations, together with additions not otherwise listed before are now brought together and included in one sequence in ILC.
