Soft cover. Zustand: Good. No Jacket. LYRIC POETRY OF THE ITALIAN RENAISSANCE: AN ANTHOLOGY WITH VERSE TRANSLATIONS, collected by L.R. Lind, with an introduction by Thomas g. Bergin, various translators from different eras, softcover, stated second printing, 1964. BOOK CONDITION: good. The text block is in fine condition with no tears, marks, or dog-ears. There is no bookplate nor signature of a prior owner. Minor foxing on all three edges. This is not a library book nor a remainder. The wraps are in fairly good condition (age-tanning and light foxing on back cover, faded front cover, green label on front cover, reading crease along spine). 8 x 5, 334 pages, 15 ounces. XX [From the back cover] In this anthology, 165 Italian poems are printed opposite their verse translations. The most important poets in Italy from the thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth centuries are included, and all of the rare forms of the early Italian lyric - canzone, sestina, madrigal, and ballata - are represented. Highlights of this comprehensive collection are Rossetti's translations of Dante's shorter poems, Ezra Pound's translations of Cavalcanti, and Morris Bishop's versions of Petrarch. Certain poets - Boiardo, Lorenzo de' Medici, Poliziano, Ariosto, and Tasso, among others - are presented for the first time in accurate renderings of some of their best as well as least known poems. In his Introduction, Thomas G. Bergin, Sterling Professor of Romance Languages and Master of Timothy Dwight College of Yale University, discusses this entire period In Italian poetry and its significance for the development of poetry in other lands. Professor L. R. Lind is Chairman of the Classics Department at the University of Kansas. XX Translated by masters of the English tongue, in many instances the poems achieve the effect of spontaneous, freshly written lyrics. The choice of texts and the caliber of the translations are throughout beyond reproach (PAUL G. RUGGIERS, Books Abroad). XX The 165 poems are excellently chosen both for their intrinsic worth and as characteristic of the more than 30 poets included. With Mr. Bergin's brief but admirable Introduction and each author's short biographical note, Mr. Lind has given the general reader much-needed access to the first - and richest - four centuries of the Italian lyric (T. MACALLISTER, Yale Review).

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 280 pages. Published in 1995. Posthumous collection of the author's nonfiction. One of Danilo Kis' finest achievements. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a tiny first print run as a hardcover original only. There is NO equivalent volume in Serbian, Hungarian, or Croatian. Presents Danilo Kis' "Homo Poeticus: Essays And Interviews". Edited with an Introduction by the devoted Susan Sontag. Collects, from various, disparate original sources, Danilo Kis' pieces, which individually and collectively, represent an indispensable contribution to world literature of the writer's work. Danilo Kis was The Wandering Jew par excellence. He lived everywhere in Europe, and wherever he was, received well-deserved acclaim, awards, that is to say, prestige, not just recognition. Had he not died young at the age of 54 in 1989 (from lung cancer), he would surely have received the ultimate prize: The Nobel. In any case, no one else of his generation was more deserving. An absolute "must-have" title for Danilo Kis collectors. This title is a great collection. This is one of very few copies of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (American) still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Copies available online have serious flaws (because the beige DJ soils right away) or are the Softcover Edition. This is surely an accessible and lovely alternative. A scarce copy thus. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER DANILO KIS TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 0374257914. no.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. A Very Rare Set of First Edition Volumes.

Woodcut engraved frontispiece (presumably of Plutarch), with tissue guard in each volume. Irregular pagination. Each volume is 500 to 600 pages long.

The heads of the other spines have some chipping. No marginalia (only writing on tissue guard in volume 1). Volume 3's front end-paper has paper loss to it (possibly from a removed bookplate). Bindings are tight, and hinges/joints on each (beside's back cover of volume 1) are holding strong. Very light to mild foxing as well as age-toning to each volume, though for the publishing dates the text bodies are in wonderful condition. Full refund if not satisfied. "The Moralia (Ancient Greek: Ethika; loosely translated as "Morals" or "Matters relating to customs and mores") of the 1st-century Greek scholar Plutarch of Chaeronea is an eclectic collection of 78 essays and transcribed speeches. They provide insights into Roman and Greek life, but often are also timeless observations in their own right." (Wikipedia). This particular edition contains 77 essays, including the psuedo-Plutarchian work "On the Names of Rivers and Mountains" (not typically found in the Moralia), and lacks "Summary of the Birth of the Spirit" as well as "Sayings of the Spartan Women." Prefaces and dedicatories are authored as follows: Matthew Morgan for Volume 1; George Tullie for Volume 2; Robert Midgley for Volume 4; Samuel White for Volume 5. The English translation "Plutarch's Morals" (1684-1690) was a collaborative effort undertaken by a host of scholars. Their goal was to outdo the work of Philemon Holland, who first translated the Moralia into English in 1603. As Matthew Morgan's preface to the first volume makes clear, the entire Moralia was intended to be translated/published by the end of a single year (1684-5). It was also meant to only be 4 volumes altogether. But the collaborative translation ended up taking over 6 years, and was 5 volumes when completed. The first 3 volumes were published by John Gellibrand (1684-1685), and the last 2 by R. Bentley (1690). The order of each treatise, although not in the order classically placed in Plutarch's Moralia, is according to the completion of each translation as they came to the publishers' hands. William W. Goodwin, upon revising the 5th Edition of this translation in 1870, had this to say in his preface, "The original editions.contained translations of every grade of merit. Some of the essays were translated by eminent scholars like William Baxter (nephew of Richard Baxter) and Thomas Creech.But a large number, including some of the longest and most difficult treatises, were translated by men whose ignorance of Greek - or whatever language was the immediate ancestor of their own version - was only one of their many defects as translators. Notwithstanding all the defects of the translation.it is beyond all question a more readable version than could be made now; and the liveliness of its style will more than make up to most readers for its want of literal correctness." A most rare and attractive set, one of great historical value. PLEASE NOTE: This set will arrive with "signature required" upon delivery. Full refund if not satisfied.
