Description:
New York: Vincent FitzGerald & Company, 1991. One of 25 copies, text on Apta Royale Laid Richard de Bas paper (made in 1938), images on Musee paper, backed on custom-made papers by Paul Wong on Dieu Donne' Papermill. Page size: 16 inches x 16 inches. Bound by Zahra Partovi in Coptic-style mauve-grey silk over boards, box by David Bourbeau, Thistle Bindery, fine. Six original line etchings by Susan Weil are hand-painted in watercolor and gouache with gold-leafing throughout, each mounted on museum board. These images surround the 40-page text when sitting in the box and when lifted out become three-dimensional paintings. There are also two original collages in the text and on the boards of the cover which is printed in three colors. The calligraphy is by Jerry Kelly and the letterpress is by Dan Keleher at Wild Carrot Letterpress. Susan Weil's third Joyce book takes an excerpt from FINNEGAN'S WAKE and it is as much as tour de force as her previous two. The box itself is a piece of sculpture, and…

Frankfurt am Mayn: Gedruckt durch Herman Gulfferichen, 1549. Title in red and black with 4 large woodcut instruments (2 are repeated in text). Large double-page woodcut wound-man, smaller woodcut of a zodiac man, and 2 large text woodcuts; last leaf with printer's device. Old German paste-boards; some interior soiling, still a beautiful copy. Early edition of this rare surgical treatise, a cornerstone in the history of medicine. The initial sections on surgical practices and treatments are nearly identical with the corresponding portion of the author's Fasciculus medicine (Venice, 1491), a collection of writings by medical men for the use of practicing physician. Among the many medical concepts here are passages on injuries, goiters, cancer, phlebotomy, and recipes for various medications. This work is of major importance for containing the first detailed anatomical illustrations ever printed. Little is known of Johannes de Ketham, a name probably corrupted by the printers from Johannes von Kirchheim. In spite of extended research by Sudhoff and others, his identity remains unknown. This edition is extremely scarce.
