(Village Press) Cary, Melbert B. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE VILLAGE PRESS.
Including an Account of the Genesis of the Press by Frederic W. Goudy and a Portion of the 1903 Diary of Will Ransom, Co-Founder. New Castle, DE Oak Knoll et al 1981 8vo. cloth, dust jacket. 220 pages.
This bibliography documents the career of the Village Press with meticulous detail and insight. In a short memoir at the beginning of this book, Frederic W. Goudy gives an account of a printer's life that is certain to be familiar to anyone who has experienced the "fun and fury" of a private press. The section from the diary of Will Ransom, co-founder of the press, gives some idea of the magnitude of the initial problems that were encountered. Despite these difficulties, the press still produced books that were an able tribute to William Morris, in many ways Goudy's chief inspiration in book design. However, the press was no mere imitation of the Kelmscott Press - in the years of its operation it forged a style that was distinctly Goudy's. Frederic W. Goudy was one of the most influential type designers of the twentieth century. His influence on advertising art and book design was considerable, and he became an arbiter of typographic taste for an entire generation between the Wars. Part of the reason for this success lay with his practical knowledge of the problems of designer and printer. Much of this expertise was gained through the Village Press. This book was originally published in 1938 in a limited edition of only 260 copies.

(Virgil) Kallendorf, Craig A CATALOGUE OF THE JUNIUS SPENCER MORGAN COLLECTION OF VIRGIL IN THE PRINCETON UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2009 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover, dust jacket 544 pages
The Junius Spencer Morgan collection at Princeton University consists of over 700 titles (totaling around 900 volumes) of editions of the Roman poet Virgil (70-19 BC), in Latin and in various vernacular languages. Technically the collection includes items ranging from the first printed edition (Rome, 1469) to the present, but the focus is strongly on material published in the early modern period.

This collection was formed by Junius Spencer Morgan, the nephew of the financier J. P. Morgan. Morgan's interest in Virgil was undoubtedly encouraged during his student days at Princeton and reflects his efforts to obtain the best copies he could find of items noteworthy for their scholarship, their illustrations, or their place in publishing history. The result is one of the largest collections of early printed editions of Virgil in the world, a collection whose balance and integrity make it the proper beginning place for research in this field. Given Virgil's central place in western education during the early centuries of printing, the catalogue of the Morgan collection should be of interest to art historians, cultural historians, and historians of education as well as classicists and specialists in printing history and the history of the book. This handsomely-produced volume includes close to fifty full-page color illustrations from the collection.

Craig Kallendorf received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, and is Professor of Classics and English and Cornerstone Faculty Fellow at Texas A&M University. His recent books include two Oxford monographs on Virgil: Virgil and the Myth of Venice: Books and Readers in Renaissance Italy (1999) and The Other Virgil: Subversive Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture (2007), along with bibliographies of early Italian printed editions of Virgil and of the Aldine collection at the University of Texas. For Oak Knoll Press, he has co-edited The Books of Venice / Il libro veneziano (2009) and is working on a complete bibliography of the pre-1850 printed editions of Virgil.

(Virgil) Kallendorf, Craig W. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE EARLY PRINTED EDITIONS OF VIRGIL, 1469-1850.
New Castle, Delaware Oak Knoll Press 2012 8.5 x 11 inches hardcover 384 pages
This book serves as a short-title catalogue of all the early printed editions of the Roman poet Virgil, from the first edition in 1469 up to and including books published in 1850. Virgil's three major poems, the Eclogues, the Georgics, and the Aeneid, have stood at the center of western civilization throughout the early modern and modern periods. As such they were reprinted, individually and together, throughout Europe and the Americas. This bibliography offers the first complete record of the diffusion of these seminal works.

Almost five thousand books, including editions in the original Latin and in translation, are entered into the bibliography. The entries rest on direct observation of books in two large, discrete Virgil collections, along with material gathered from twenty-eight databases and specialized bibliographies and from individual libraries throughout the world. This bibliography is three times the size of its predecessor, Giuliano Mambelli's now over fifty year old Gli annali delle edizioni virgiliani, filling out and correcting the record in ways that have only become possible in the computer age.

Each entry contains information on the printer and place of publication, the names of any translators, editors, and commentators, and an indication of where a copy of the book may be found. An index of names allows cultural historians to connect Virgil to the scholarly activities of succeeding generations, while indices of printers and places of publication serve the needs of printing historians.

Craig Kallendorf received his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina and is Professor of English and Classics at Texas A&M University. His recent books include The Other Virgil: Subversive Readings of the Aeneid in Early Modern Culture (Oxford University Press, 2007) and bibliographies of early Italian printed editions of Virgil and of the Aldine collection at the University of Texas. For Oak Knoll Press he has co-edited The Books of Venice / Il libro veneziano (2009) and written A Catalogue of the Junius Spencer Morgan Collection of Virgil in the Princeton University Library (2010).

(Voltaire) Bengesco, Georges VOLTAIRE, BIBLIOGRAPHIE DE SES OEUVRES
4 volumes bound in 2. Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2006 thick 8vo. cloth. 2181 pages.
Reprint of the first edition which was published in Paris by E. Perrin over the period 1882-1890 (Besterman 6460). François-Marie Arouet (21 November 1694-30 May 1778), better known by the pen name Voltaire, was a French Enlightenment writer, essayist, deist, and philosopher known for his wit, philosophical sport, and defense of civil liberties, including freedom of religion and the right to a fair trial. He was an outspoken supporter of social reform despite strict censorship laws in France and harsh penalties for those who broke them. A satirical polemicist, he frequently made use of his works to criticize Christian Church dogma and the French institutions of his day. This remains a standard work on Voltaire, describing 12,500 works.

Wagner, Henry Raup SPANISH VOYAGES TO THE NORTHWEST COAST OF AMERICA IN THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY
Mansfield Centre, CT Martino Publishing 2008 8vo. cloth. viii, 571 pages.
Facsimile reprint of the 1929 first edition published by the California Historical Society. In this volume is brought together practically all that is known concerning the voyages made by the Spaniards along the California and Oregon coast line between 1539 and 1602. The series opens with an account of the epochal voyage of Ulloa in 1539, and this is perhaps the most interesting record in the entire volume. The compiler has been able to reproduce Ulloa's original journal, has furnished an adequate translation, and has thus brought into full relief what has hitherto been one of the most elusive and tantalizing episodes of early exploration.
The body of the volume closes with an account of the project to found a settlement at Monterey, as a result of the report and recommendation of Vizcaino. The notes, appendixes, and other explanatory matter with which the volume terminates are so copious and so necessary for the adequate interpretation of the text that one questions whether it would not have made the work more useful and convenient for the student, to have bound them in a separate volume or placed them in a portfolio. The collection and interpretation of these interesting records represents the highest type of historical research work, and the volume can be most cordially recommended to the student or general reader. Illustrated and with maps (part folded).

Walgren, Kent Logan FREEMASONRY, ANTI-MASONRY AND ILLUMINISM IN THE UNITED STATES, 1734-1850, A BIBLIOGRAPHY.
2 volumes Worcester, MA American Antiquarian Society 2003 small 4to. cloth cxvi, (ii), 497+(1); vi, (ii), 499-1136 pages
A comprehensive successor to earlier bibliographies of Masonic books printed in the United States, such as Richard Barthelmess's Bibliographie der Freimaurerei in Amerika (1856) and Enoch T. Carson's Bibliotheca Masonica Carsoniana (1874). Volume 1 contains Introductory Essays and Entries from 1734 to 1827; Volume 2, entries from 1827-1850 and Indexes. The author has compiled 5,560 annotated entries, personally examining 95 percent of those for which surviving copies are known. Arranged in a chronological/geographical format, listing U.S. Masonic publications by date and state; and attempting to reclaim lost bibliographical and historical lore known to the Masons of earlier generations; by means of textual quotations, a sense and flavor of the social, political, and religious issues that preoccupied U.S. Freemasons and their detractors in the 18th and 19th centuries, such as the mythical early history of Masonry, women and Masonry, African-American Freemasonry, religion and Freemasonry, and politics and Freemasonry; and raw data on printing of Masonic literature and its economics in the early United States. "The chronological/geographical arrangement, which allows one to track the genesis and growth of the Craft in each state through the year 1850, provides a sense of time (cause-and-effect), context, and history." (introduction). Illustrated throughout with 70 title-page facsimiles, from "The Constitutions of the Free-Masons" (Phila., Benjamin Franklin, 1734), to the "Constitution of the Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons for the State of California, and Minutes of the Proceedings of the Convention to Constitute Said Lodge" (San Francisco, Bartlett & Robb, 1850). A valuable reference for scholars of U.S. Freemasonry, historians of U.S. social, political, and religious thought, librarians, and students of early U.S. printing.
