Description

First Edition. This copy initialed by Stanley Morison. One of 390 copies only, designed by Bruce Rogers and printed on Batchelor's hand-made paper. A copy with superb provenance, coming from the collection of Tammaro De Marinis, one of the most famous of all Italian scholars, a venerated bookman, antiquarian and collector. Beautifully printed and with illustrations throughout from Pacioli's brilliant DE DIVINA PROPORTIONE, mainly from the section of the DIVINA which comprises diagrams of the true shapes and proportions of classical Roman letters and provides some discussion of lettering in the interests of such contemporaries of his as were architects in his native city of Borgo San Sepolcro. Title-page printed in red and black on white, a handsome red border. Red ornaments and large 8-line capitals in red throughout. Large Quarto, publisher's original vellum over pattern paper covered boards. Half-title, frontispiece by Emery Walker, vii, [2], 105, [1] pp. A very fine copy, essentially as pristine, the tissue guards all present and in fine condition as are the illustrations and text-block, the corners very slightly rubbed.
