Title: Epistolarum selectarum Centuriae II
Author: CESARI, Domenico
Seller: Musinsky Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: Bologna: Sebastiano Bonomi for Girolamo Tamburini, 1621. 8vo (150 x 98 mm). 2 parts, continuously paginated. Engraved fold-out title signed F. B. F. [Francesco Brizio fecit], [22], 262 pages (pp. [126-128] blank). Two woodcut initials. Marginal tear at fold of engraved title, very occasional minor marginal dampstain. Contemporary parchment (stain on front cover, backstrip torn). Provenance: author's presentation copy, ex dono inscription from the recipient: 1621 / Donum ipsius Auctoris, mihi Michi / Angelo Actio, Bononia [?].*** First Edition of a collection of 200 Neo-Latin letters from a professor of literature (umane lettere) at the University of Bologna, addressed to an array of local (all male) intelligentsia, most from Bologna or nearby towns. An index lists the recipients in alphabetical order of first name. Most received one letter; a few carried on a more frequent correspondence. The edition was edited and printed at the expense of one of the correspondents, Girolamo Tamburini, and was evidently distributed privately to Cesari's other correspondents. This copy was given by the author to the protonotary apostolic Michael Angelus Actius (recipient of one letter, p. 20). Correspondents include prelates, monks, philosophers, theologians, jurists, professors of logic, literature, law and medicine, poets, members of chivalric orders (the Hospitallers, the Order of St. Stephen), senators of Bologna, and two cardinals (Carlo de' Medici and Carlo Madruzzo). Subjects are suitably elevated - ethics, religion, philosophy, classical writers (Plautus's comedies, Tacitus), his interlocutors' poetry - displaying Cesari's erudition, but not (in Vernarecci's view) a commensurate purity of style. Other than a few circumstantial orations, in Italian and Latin, Cesari's main published work consisted of 500 letters. These first two hundred were reprinted in 1623 by B. Cocchi, along with a separate edition containing two hundred more letters. The final centuria appeared in 1624. OCLC, USTC and ICCU record no copies of any of these epistolary collections in American libraries. ICCU ITICCUBVEE�38789; USTC 4000795; cf. A. Vernarecci, Dizionario biografico degli uomini illustri di Fossombrone (1872), p. 13.

This portfolio was designed, printed, and produced by Joseph D'Ambrosio using hand set Della Robbia type and a Vandercook No 4 proof press. "Since I knew Ward personally, I tried to make this work portray not only aspects of his career, but also to mirror the warm and sensitive personal side of the man. Lawrence Clark Powell, Ward's longtime friend who wrote the portfolio's foreword, laid the groundwork for this goal. I chose the sequence of photographs from the many Amanda showed me, and wrote the captions to street the man as well as his work." D'Ambrosio.

Title: 12 Postcards from the Diana Press
Author: [Czarnik, Casey; Coletta Reid]
Seller: Biblioctopus (United States)
Description: Baltimore: Diana Press, 1973. First Edition. Twelve offset-lithograph postcards (5 ½" x 3 ¼") printed in red and black, on gray paper, titled and copyright on the verso. The designs are adapted from 20th century linocuts, primitive art and sculpture; depicting fertility idols, goddesses, and abstractions, a couple with quotes. Original envelope with the publisher's rubber-stamped address. Founded in Baltimore in 1972 by Coletta Reid and Casey Czarnik, Diana Press was among the earliest and most important lesbian-feminist publishing houses in the United States, operating as both a commercial print shop and a radical publisher committed to bringing openly lesbian literature into print at a moment when mainstream houses would not touch it. Its catalogue included early work by Rita Mae Brown, Judy Grahn, Pat Parker, and Elsa Gidlow, as well as a reprint of Jeannette Foster's pioneering Sex Variant Women in Literature. This set of twelve postcards, issued in 1973 at the beginning of the press's publishing operation, reflects the visual vocabulary the Women in Print Movement was developing for itself; goddess iconography, fertility figures, and primitive and folk forms drawn from sources outside the male-dominated Western canon, adapted into inexpensive, mass-producible objects that carried feminist imagery into everyday circulation. The press relocated to Oakland in 1977 and closed in 1979, following a fire, an act of vandalism, and internal disputes; surviving ephemera from its Baltimore years is now scarce.
