The Idyls of Theocritus; With Bion & Moschus. Rendered into English Prose by Andrew Lang. Illustrated after Drawings by W. Russell Flint. 2 volumes i The Idyls of Theocritus; With Bion & Moschus. Rendered into English Prose by Andrew Lang. Illustrated after Drawings by W. Russell Flint. 2 volumes i 1268.99 CAD The Idyls of Theocritus, accompanied here by the bucolic poems of Bion and Moschus, represents one of the finest Riccardi Press productions of the early 20th century. Issued by the Medici Society in 1922, the text appears in Andrew Lang’s distinguished prose translation, richly illustrated with mounted colour plates after William Russell Flint. Theocritus, writing in 3rd-century BC Alexandria, is celebrated as the founder of pastoral poetry, his idyllic verse influencing later traditions from Virgil's Eclogues through to the English Renaissance. As with other Riccardi Press volumes, the edition was printed in limited numbers on hand-made paper, with a tiny additional vellum issue, and has long been admired for the combination of scholarly content, elegant typography, and fine illustration that characterises the Press at its best. The Idyls of Theocritus; With Bion & Moschus. Rendered into English Prose by Andrew Lang. Illustrated after Drawings by W. Russell Flint. 2 volumes in one. Published by the Medici Society Ltd/The Riccardi Press Books, London, Liverpool & Boston. 1922 limited edition in luxury custom binding. Limited to 500 numbered copies on hand-made Riccardi paper, plus 12 vellum copies.

A small number of paper-issue copies (from within the 1-500 sequence) are known in vellum or other fine bindings, supplied either by the Medici Society itself or commissioned by subscribers. The present volume is an attractive example of such a special binding, far more decorative than the standard quarter linen boards, although there is no binder's signature identification included.

A fine copy of this beautiful book. Covers are in full vellum with gilt title to spine. The previous owner's handwritten note at the rear indicates that the book is ""finely bound in full polished vellum, elaborate tooled dentelles with stars of hope & emblems of immortality, top edge gilt, silk sewn throughout, in slipcase"".

The Arabian Nights Entertainments Andrew Lang [Near Fine] [Hardcover] The Arabian Nights Entertainments Andrew Lang [Near Fine] [Hardcover] 720.63 CAD Published by Longmans, Green & Co., London, 1898 First Edition, First Printing. Andrew Lang was a distinguished Scottish figure renowned for his multifaceted literary career. He excelled as a poet, novelist, literary critic, and anthropologist. Beyond his diverse writing, Lang held a significant place as a collector and editor of fairy tales and folklore. He is most celebrated for his ""Coloured Fairy Books"" series, a collection spanning twelve volumes that brought together enchanting tales from various cultures worldwide. Lang's 1898 edition of The Arabian Nights Entertainments, published by Longmans, Green & Co., is often considered an unofficial yet fitting thirteenth addition to this beloved series, sharing its accessible style and intended audience. Lang's primary objective was to present these captivating stories in a manner that resonated with children, ensuring their engagement while preserving the inherent wonder and charm of the original narratives. The Arabian Nights Entertainments represents a rich tapestry of stories with origins in the Middle East and South Asia, compiled over centuries. The overarching narrative framework centers on the Persian King Shahryar, who, after being betrayed by his first wife, adopts a cruel practice of marrying a new virgin each night only to have her executed the following morning. Scheherazade, the wise and resourceful new bride, cleverly thwarts her fate by narrating enthralling stories to the king each night, deliberately leaving them unfinished to maintain his curiosity and secure another day of life. This captivating storytelling continues for an astonishing 1001 nights. The collection encompasses a vast spectrum of tales, spanning genres such as adventure, romance, fantasy, and moral instruction. Within this rich anthology reside some of the most iconic stories in world literature, including ""Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp,"" ""Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves,"" and ""The Voyages of Sinbad the Sailor.""
