Seller
Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description
1872-1921. 60 different editions in 61 volumes.. Most items in their original publisher's bindings (mostly cloth or wrappers, and a few in limp suede); one in half morocco. Condition ranging from very good to very fine; many of the cloth items with light shelfwear (rubbing to edges, mild soiling, fraying to head and tail of spine) and minor condition issues internally (light scattered foxing and browning), a handful of items with more noticeable condition issues (spine partially lost, rubbed joints, moderate browning, etc.), but on the whole, an excellent group. Amassed over the course of many years by a passionate collector of the Rubaiyat, this is a very substantial and wide-ranging group of 60 works that attest to the work's enduring popularity more than 150 years after Edward FitzGerald introduced it to the West. Son of a wealthy Irish landowner, FitzGerald had enough money to pursue a rather desultory literary career as a "genteel gipsy" (in Terhune's words) before beginning to study languages in middle age. He started his translation of the quatrains ("rubáiyát" in Persian) attributed to "Umar Khayyam" in 1856; according to DNB, about half of FitzGerald's final work paraphrases (rather than directly translates) portions of the 11th century poem, while the rest is original verse inspired by Omar. "The result is generally seen as being in some ways an original English poem, one that is much better known than Omar's poem is in Persian." (DNB) In Jewett's opinion, it certainly earned FitzGerald "a prominent place among the immortals of English literature." In 1858, FitzGerald submitted 25 of the "less wicked" verses to "Fraser's Magazine," only to be rejected. He had 250 copies published, anonymously, at his own expense, but had no luck selling them. Admitting defeat, he gave 200 copies to Quaritch; these sold so poorly that they were relegated to the penny bin, where Potter says they were discovered--and soon celebrated--by Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Algernon Swinburne. Those copies that remained unsold when Quaritch moved to Piccadilly in 1860 were either lost or destroyed, but by 1861, Rossetti and his Pre-Raphaelite brethren, along with Celtic scholar Whitley Stokes, were evangelizing for the work, embracing the lush, lyrical verse that would move English poetry away from Victorian orthodoxy and convention. According to Day, by the end of the 19th century, "a copy of the 'Rubaiyat' upon an Oxford table was a symbol of sophistication. Today . . . it remains the most popular single poem of the Victorian era." The present collection is especially strong in illustrated editions, with more than 25 artists represented, including Edmund Dulac, Elihu Vedder, Willy Pogany, Adelaide Hanscom, Gilbert James, Edmund J. Sullivan, Arthur Szyk, René Bull, and Abanindro Nath Tagore. Notable text editions in this group include a Third Edition of FitzGerald's translation; a First Published American Edition; and a signed and inscribed copy of Eben Francis Thompson's translation. There is also a small group of fine press printings, including examples by the Gregynog Press, Thomas Mosher, and Elbert Hubbard. There are no duplicated editions in this collection, and there are no trade paperbacks. A full list of the collection's contents is available upon request..

Description
Paris: Jules Roussset, 1914. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Frontispiece portrait of Paracelsus, engraved illustration in the text. Original blue printed wrappers. An excellent copy. Only edition, an historical compendium of medical oddities in popular culture. The text addresses the Paracelsian homunculus, possession, hysteria, clairvoyance, animal magnetism, and occult healing, with case studies and bibliographic references. While the author employs no scientific method to prove or disprove the veracity of these cases, he invites the reader to consider medical advances in the framework of the fantastical. For example, skin and organs grafted onto an unrelated body tend to accept the host and grow, not unlike a homunculus. Furthermore, it is not uncommon to leave several eggs in one place and come back to find one fewer, and who is to say that the lost egg did not spontaneously become a tiny human and wander off? Schwaeblé (1873-1922) was a French author of primarily fiction. He had no medical training, which is probably why he employed Dr. Stéphane Leduc of the Nantes medical school to write the preface. OCLC locates two copies in the U.S. (Johns Hopkins and NLM).

Description
Paris, 1869. Quarter Morocco. Marbled paper over boards. Very Good. A bound collection of 137 hand-colored plates. Royal 8vo. 26.5 by 19.5 cm. Plates almost always feature two comely women in the latest Parisian fashion, with an evocative background, both interior and exterior. The backgrounds have coloring, but generally less color than the women and especially their gowns, which were intended as the primary focal point of the illustrations. While this is not a complete compendium of the illustrations from the magazine during the period, the plates are generally arranged in consecutive order (until the end, when they revert to earlier dates), allowing us to observe the gradual changes in fashion, with the dresses slowly becoming less full and bell-shaped. Condition: age toning around edges. A few minor, inconspicuous edge chips. Minor occasional spotting. Modern quarter morocco binding has gilt decoration on spine and is in fine condition.

But when the relationship broke apart, he was left with a used diamond that began to haunt him. His obsession carried him around the globe, from the "blood diamond" rings of Africa; to the sweltering polishing factories of India; to mines above the Arctic Circle; to illegal diggings in Brazil; to the London headquarters of De Beers, the secretive global colossus that has dominated the industry for more than a century and permanently carved the phrase "A diamond is forever" on the psyche.
