Seller: The Book Block

Title: The Holy Gospel According to Matthew • Mark • Luke• and John
Seller: The Book Block (United States)
Description: Verona Officina Bodoni, 1962. Folio (12 x 8 inches), full burgundy oasis morocco, spine and cover decorated and lettered in gilt; t.e.g. In the original cloth-covered board slipcase with red morocco ends. One of 320 copies (this is copy cxxxvi designated for Great Britain), set in various sizes of Mardersteig’s Zeno type and printed at the hand press of the Officina Bodoni on mould-made paper. The English text is from the King James version of the New Testament. The striking title-page was cut in wood by Reynolds Stone, and the 114 woodblocks that illustrate the text have been recut by Bruno Bramanti (except for the last eight, which were cut after his death by his pupil Italo Zetti). The cuts were made after the original illustrations by Bartolomeo di Giovanni, from the 1495 Epistole et Evangelii, an incunable which Mardersteig considered to be the most considerable achievement of 15th century Florentine book illustration. Truly one of the great books of the Press. Fine. See: Officina Bodoni 126. Barr 64. A Fine Copy of a Beautiful Book
