(Bible) Van Kampen et al. THE BIBLE AS BOOK: THE SERIES.
Five volumes. New Castle, DE Oak Knoll Press 2003 Large 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 1,256 pages
The Bible As Book, a five-title series, is based on leading biblical scholars from different disciplines brought together to present their findings at conferences held by the The Scriptorium: Center for Christian Antiquities. The entire series was published from 1997-2003. Each title in the series studies a different period of time as the Bible was either being formed or printed. The first title,The Manuscript Tradition, edited by John L. Sharpe III and Kimberly Van Kampen, is chronologically and culturally vast and begins with an examination of the methodology of the scribes who produced the Dead Sea Scrolls. It concludes with new evidence for the propagation of the Scriptures some fifteen centuries later, at the dawn of the age of printing. The second title, The First Printed Editions, edited by Kimberly Van Kampen and Paul Saenger, investigates the history of the Bible between 1455 and 1520. This series of scholarly essays explores the early printing on the text, format and uses of the Bible. The third title, The Reformation, edited by Orlaith O'Sullivan, brings together twelve essays which examine the complex history of the Bible during this equally complex period. Each contributor attempts to answer some of the most pressing questions in Reformation biblical studies, such as: How did religious leaders help shape the readings of those lay people who were able to read the Bible in their own language for the first time? How did the clergy control and suppress heretical musing in the increasing number of annotated editions? Where was the editio princeps of the English Bible printed? Can modernity read the Renaissance Bible? What role did illustrations in Bibles play in the spread of Protestantism? The fourth title, The Hebrew Bible and the Judaean Desert Discoveries, edited by Edward D. Herbert and Emanuel Tov, charts the extraordinary developments witnessed over the last fifty years, since the chance discovery in 1947 of biblical scrolls in a cave in the vicinity of the Dead Sea. The biblical scholars chart the findings and controversies sparked off by the discovery and publication of some 900 scrolls which have transformed our understanding of the state of the biblical text at the turn of the last millennium. The fifth and final title, The Transmission of the Greek Text, edited by Scot McKendrick and Orlaith O'Sullivan, covers a wide range of topics that reflect on the science and the art of the textual criticism of the Greek Bible. The subjects covered include: the relationship between Jewish scribal culture and early Christian literary practices; Greek biblical texts uncovered in the Judaean Desert; the New Testament miniscule tradition; and New Testament biblical papyri. Fresh studies are presented of Codex Sinaiticus, Codex Bezae, and Codex Alexandrinus. From the use of the Church Fathers in New Testament criticism to the work of Eberhard Nestle in the nineteenth century, this volume holds something for everyone.

Georgopoulou, Maria, et al (editors). FOLLOWING PAUSANIAS: THE QUEST FOR GREEK ANTIQUITY.
(New Castle, DE) Oak Knoll Press 2007 4to. printed paper-covered boards 253 pages
Following Pausanias: A Quest for Greek Antiquity is a study of Pausanias's ten-book travelogue Hellados Periegesis, which describes Greece as he experienced it in the second century. This multi-faceted academic analysis, sponsored by the National Hellenic Research Foundation and the American School of Classical Studies, considers the significant and long-term impact of this ancient source through its various translations and later editions. Twelve contributors focus on the political and cultural conditions that nurtured Pausaniass work, investigate his influence on the "revival" of Ancient Greece in the early modern era and examine how modern historians, archaeologists and art historians regard and evaluate Pausaniass work. Konstantinos Staikos, author of the History of the Library in Western Civilization series, provides an interesting chapter on the first printed edition of Periegesis, produced by Aldus Manutius in Venice in 1516. The volume is beautifully produced and illustrated, with color or black-and-white images on almost every page. The work concludes with a useful bibliography and index. Following Pausanias is an interesting and valuable resource regarding the influential work of Pausanias. It will be highly regarded by scholars of printing history, Greek antiquity and travel literature. English translation by Deborah Kazazi. Co-published with Kotinos Publications, Athens.

Homer (as translated by Alexander Pope) THE ILIAD AND ODYSSEY OF HOMER AS TRANSLATED BY ALEXANDER POPE.
In Greek and English. With an Introduction by Steven Shankman and 52 original color drawings by Avery Lawrence Chestertown Chester River Press 2009 12.5 x 14.5 inches cloth, dust jackets, slipcase 550; 434 pages
Acclaimed by Samuel Johnson as "a performance which no age or nation could hope to equal," Alexander Pope's translation of the Iliad and Odyssey stands as one of the glories of English Literature.

The Chester River Press edition of the Iliad and Odyssey of Homer has been designed and printed to reflect the epic proportions of this famous translation and offers both the Greek and English translations for the general reader and scholar alike. More than 50 color drawings in Greek vase styles by Avery Lawrence were commissioned by the Press. Each drawing portrays a specific scene from each of the 48 books making up the Iliad and Odyssey with smaller medallions adorning pages throughout.

An original two-part Introduction by the esteemed Pope scholar, Steven Shankman, reflects on and investigates Pope's majestic poems through a scholarly lens focused on the timless Homeric themes of war and peace. Professor Shankman also elaborates on "How To Read Homer," an aid to understanding the philosophical and historical context of the Homeric epics.

The Iliad and Odyssey are presented as a companion, slipcased set and bound in black Dutch cloth with dust jackets.

(Koch, Peter) Parmenides THE FRAGMENTS OF PARMENIDES & AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY ROBERT BRINGHURST.
Berkeley Editions Koch 2003 folio quarter leather with gilt lettering, laid paper-covered boards, silk clamshell box with leather title label unpaginated
Printed in an edition limited to 146 numbered copies. 120 copies bound by Peggy Gotthold in quarter leather and Hahnemüle Bugra paper protected in a case covered in Japanese silk, of which this is one. The text is comprised of almost a dozen fragments of a poem composed in southern Italy 2,500 years ago by Parmenides, son of Pyres, of Elea. By the second century CE, his poem was known as "On Nature," but the original title, if there was one, is unknown. Parmenides was the son of refugees who left their home in Phokaia, in the eastern Aegean, to escape Persian invasion. He developed his views in a society of colonists and refugees, alert to but distant from the emerging glory of Athens, and acutely aware of the recent collapse and loss of the world rememberd in Homer's poems. Printed in Greek on the left with English translation on facing page. The fragments vary in length from a only few words to 66 hexameters, almost 500 words, but always display a light, quick wit and are surprisingly accessible despite the depth of Parmenides's thought. Peter Koch, the printer, eloquently characterized the poet's style as such: "Parmenides stands at a stillpoint in the chaos of thinking, at the source of Being. The river of thought runs past him but he cuts the current with the blade of his cunning. Parmenides reveals little but withstands everything" (Carving the Elements: A Companion to the Fragments of Parmenides21). Koch's interest in the ancient poet emerged amid his diverse studies; after studying topics ranging from microbiology to French literature, philosophy to the history of science, Koch turned to the art of hand printing in which he found beauty, balance and purpose. For the translation of Parmenides, he commissioned Dan Carr to hand-craft new typeset for the archaic Greek text. Carr's understanding of the nature of the text led him to design a slightly irregular yet inherently lyric form. After carefully scrutinizing the text of surviving ancient Greek inscriptions, he sought to design a type that mediated the modeling of the bookhand and the formality of the carefully made inscription, and successfully balanced movement with regularity. Four wood engravings of sumptuous red, firery orange and velvety black are hand-printed by the artist, Richard Wagener. These edgy and abstract images, printed with rich, saturated colors, boldly punctuate the piecemeal text. Of the generation of the images, Wagener writes that in relation to the text of Parmenides, he sensed "distance, closeness, weight, gravity, valence, bridges, barriers, magnetism, attraction, falling away, smoldering, extinguished, passionate, fervent, vespers. The pursuit of these ideas...involved going byond the accidental characteristics, to peel back the layers in order to arrive at a sense of the essentials and to find a propriety in the quality and organization of the markings" (107). Cover printed in black and red. Title page printed with red and black. Colophon signed by Peter Koch, Richard Wagener and Robert Bringhurst.
