Description
London: Reeves & Turner, 1892. Third Edition. 2 vols. A reprinting of the 1839 original, the edition selected by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, England's premier bindery, as the best choice for the binding they planned, based on its typeface, paper, size, and inclusion of all the notes by Shelley's wife Mary, an essential source for the study of Percy's work. A fastidiously executed dark blue crushed morocco, gilt binding. The outside covers with central gilt panel formed by multiple plain and decorative rolls, with cornerpiece clusters of three inlaid lavender morocco pansies, front boards with central inlaid cerulean morocco medallion stamped with the poet's gilt monogram, rear boards with lavender morocco medallion stamped with a gilt pansy within the quote "Pansies let my flowers be" (from "Remembrance"), raised bands, spine compartments gilt in a latticed pattern. Inside, the Doublures are in sky blue morocco, the one at the front of the first volume is a Cosway style miniature portrait under glass, replicating the 1819 portrait by Amelia Curran now hanging in England's National Portrait Gallery, one of the few contemporaneous likenesses of Shelley and the chief source today for Shelley's countenance. The portrait is framed by a laurel wreath set with 6 jewels (3 moonstones and 3 rubies), and surrounded by a pointillé field punctuated by foliate sprays terminating in 46 white flowers, the other 3 doublures with rows of gilt floral and foliate stamps and a trio of inlaid white blossoms in each corner (the bindings with a total of 132 large and small floral inlays), ivory moiré silk endleaves, all edges gilt and delicately gauffered. Frontispiece in each volume, vignette title pages. A fine set in a luscious binding of a body of literature graced with a lyricism "unmatched elsewhere in English verse in its ethereal, ideal beauty" -Day. A clipped inscription in Shelley's hand is tipped in.

Very good
Description
St Petersburg: n.p., 1856. Hardcover. Very good. Folio. Manuscript of the Amarakocha exquisitely penned by Lama Galsang Gamboïeff from the Tibetan edition of Tandjour owned by the Department Asiatique in St, Petersburg. The manuscript is paginated according to the French Sanskrit edition of the Amarakocha published paper boards and endpapers. Upper hinge cracked but strong, hinges, edges, and corners worn, so the binding is in only good condition, but the manuscript is fine. The Amarakocha is a thesaurus in Sanskrit attributed to Indian scholar Amarasimha in the 5th century, though some place him in the 9th century. It is one of the earliest extant Sanskrit lexicons and still used as one of the major sources of Sanskrit grammar. The Tanjur is the Commentary section of the Buddhist Canon Tritiaka, and contains many books on grammar. The translator was Galsan Gomboyev (Gamboïeff) (1822-1863), a professor at the Institute of Oriental Studies in Saint Petersburg. .
