Title: THE REVOLT OF ISLAM; A POEM, IN TWELVE CANTOS
Author: (BINDINGS - ZAEHNSDORF). SHELLEY, PERCY BYSSHE
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Printed for John Brooks, 1829. 229 x 152 mm. (9 x 6"). xxxii, [1] leaf (section title), 270, [2] pp. (without the initial blank). LUXURIOUS OLIVE GREEN MOROCCO, VIGOROUSLY AND SPLENDIDLY GILT, BY ZAEHNSDORF (stamp-signed on front doublure, and with the firm's oval exhibition stamp on rear endleaf), covers framed by multiple plain and decorative rules and garlands of palm and olive branches, large central panel densely tooled with 13 horizontal rows of either four or five elegant floral sprigs of various shapes, some within flower-framed ovals, others on a stippled background; flat spine gilt in similar fashion, gilt titling, TAN MOROCCO DOUBLURES with intricate central gilt arabesque on a field semé with gilt dots and daggers, tan morocco endleaves with gilt border, top edge gilt and beautifully gauffered to match the floral design on the covers. From the collection of Cornelius J. Hauck (though apparently with his bookplate removed). Granniss 45. Spine sunned toward brown (a ubiquitous problem with green morocco), very slight rubbing to joints (top inch of rear joint a little more significantly so), front flyleaf with small closed tear at fore edge (title page with small mended half-inch tear in the same place), but a very desirable copy nonetheless, the text clean and pleasing, and the riotously embellished binding almost flaming with gold. With distinguished provenance, this is a glittering exhibition binding that makes a memorable display, with its fine and dense pointillé ground, its exquisitely gauffered top edge, and its especially refined floral and leafy ornamentation being particularly notable. A spiritual odyssey of lovers divided and seeking reunion, "The Revolt of Islam" is Shelley's longest work (despite its title, the poem has little, if anything, to do with Islam, though religion is generally addressed). The work was issued late in 1817 as "Laon and Cythna," but certain passages of that piece disturbed the publisher, who demanded that they be changed or removed. Shelley reluctantly agreed, and his alterations included the substitution of the present title. We have the Brooks edition, with a new title page, using the text of the first edition, second issue (with the fly title correctly bound as d1, and the preface ending on p. xxi). As Granniss indicates, "the original quires and cancel leaves of the work fell into the hands of John Brooks, who issued them, in 1829, with a new title." Our volume comes from the illustrious collection of Cincinnati businessman, arborist, and philanthropist Cornelius J. Hauck (1893-1967), whose fortune was made in the family brewery; the auction of his library at Christie's in 2006 totaled more than $12.4 million (this item was lot #593, selling for $3,360)..

Title: In The Old Palazzo
Author: Forde, Gertrude
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: London: F.V. White & Co., 31, Southampton St., Strand, 1885. First Edition. 3 vols., 8vo (190 x 138mm), pp. [8], 244; [8], 254, [2], [8], 236. Publisher’s taupe cloth pictorially blocked with dome of St. Peter's and lettered in gold on the front covers, gilt spines, floral-patterned endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-titles of each volume, and with a contemporary pencil note (by the recipient?) on the verso of the front free endpaper. The gold on the front cover of volume one is moderately rubbed, some minor rubbing and soiling, else a bright, near fine set. Wolff 2288. Far from a routine fashionable novel, In the Old Palazzo begins with real dramatic force, juxtaposing its picturesque Italian setting with scenes of menace, suffering, and near-operatic emotional pressure. The story opens in a once-grand Roman palazzo now fallen into subdivision and decay, among artists, poverty, and old-world ruin. Its early scenes center on Annunciata and an old blind musician, whose fragile domestic world is threatened by the volatile Pippo, establishing from the outset a tale of atmosphere, violence, and pathos.

ABOUT THIS BOOK: In this Civil War love story, inspired by a real-life friendship across enemy lines, the wife of a missing Confederate soldier discovers a wounded Yankee officer and must decide what she's willing to risk for the life of a stranger, from the New York Times bestselling author of such acclaimed historical fiction as Hour of the Witch and The Sandcastle Girls. Virginia, 1864-Libby Steadman's husband has been away for so long that she can barely conjure his voice in her dreams. While she longs for him in the night, fearing him dead in a Union prison camp, her days are spent running a gristmill with her teenage niece, a hired hand, and his wife, all the grain they can produce requisitioned by the Confederate Army. It's an uneasy life in the Shenandoah Valley, the territory frequently changing hands, control swinging back and forth like a pendulum between North and South, and Libby awakens every morning expecting to see her land a battlefield. And then she finds a gravely injured Union officer left for dead in a neighbor's house, the bones of his hand and leg shattered. Captain Jonathan Weybridge of the Vermont Brigade is her enemy-but he's also a human being, and Libby must make a terrible decision: Does she leave him to die alone? Or does she risk treason and try to nurse him back to health? And if she succeeds, does she try to secretly bring him across Union lines, where she might negotiate a trade for news of her own husband? A vivid and sweeping story of two people navigating the boundaries of love and humanity in a landscape of brutal violence, The Jackal's Mistress is a heart-stopping new novel, based on a largely unknown piece of American history, from one of our greatest storytellers.(Publisher).
