The Gospel According to Saint Mark

John Purvey - Nicholas Parry LIMITED EDITION 27/60

Verlag: TERN PRESS, 1981

Beschreibung

Long sold out, and much sought after limited edition, signed by the artist Nicholas Parry. This is a rare and superb small press edition that only appears rarely on the book market. I have never seen another copy. It is number 27 of 60 copies, hand printed on hand made rough Hayle paper. The manuscript was prepared by Mary Parry, and was set in 14pt Caslon. The spelling accurately follows the the Midland dialect of English by John Purvey, an associate of Wycliffe. The binding boards are surfaced in thin pared cork. This is also unusual. The spine is black leather, and it wraps around to the cork. Titling is gilt. The text is vigorous and powerful. This really is a most distinguished text, illuminated by impressive wood engravings of great power and fine craftsmanship. EXTREMELY RARE. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers ABE-1634392759630
