[publisher: Barbou, London and Paris] Hardcover Duodecimo, with a frontispiece to the first work; contemporary dark green morocco, sides bordered and spine panelled in gilt, all edges gilt. The beautifully-printed Barbou edition of Utopia bound, as often, with the matching edition of Erasmus' Praise of Folly. The friendship between Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) and Erasmus (1469-1536) was one of the great scholarly alliances. More's Utopia (1516) was a revolutionary work of philosophy which inaugurated the entire tradition of the modern imaginary voyage, but it was also a book to which a small coterie of his greatest friends contributed, particularly including Erasmus. More also played an important part, in turn, in the writing of Erasmus' Moriae Enkomion - the 'praise of folly' but also a pun on the 'praise of More' - which is said to have been written whilst they were staying at More's London house. It was first published in 1511. This Barbou edition of both works is particularly attractive. The Barbou family was in business from the early sixteenth-century through to the beginning of the twentieth, and was known in the later 1700s for their superb editions of the Latin and Greek classics (not unlike a French Baskerville). . Joints chafed and head of spine slightly chipped. [Surry Hills, NSW, Australia] [Publication Year: ...

(11 1/4 x 7 3/4"). 161, [1] pp. Publisher's holland-backed blue paper boards with black printed titling on spine. Initials designed by Eric Gill. Printed in red and black in Subiaco type. Front pastedown with bookplate of James Curle. Hornby 22; Tomkinson, p. 6. ◆A couple of corners a little bumped, but A VERY FINE COPY, the text clean, fresh, and bright, with only the most trivial imperfections, and the original binding with few signs of wear. This is a just-as-it-should-be copy of an especially handsome Ashendene production, with elegant initials that constitute one of Eric Gill's earliest commissions. Calling it "a marvellous book," Franklin includes the "Utopia" in a group of five Ashendene productions of medium proportions (mostly small folio) "which in scope and skill have as much appeal as any Ashendene books." This is the first Ashendene with marginal notes in red, and the Subiaco type used here was the first to be produced especially for the Ashendene Press. Our printer C. H. St John Hornby, in consultation with Sidney Cockerell and Emery Walker, decided to create a typeface based on that employed by Sweynheym and Pannartz, who had printed the first books in Italy at a monastery in Subiaco (which inspired the type's name). Walker and Cockerell took photographs of the British Museum's copy of their Cicero "De Oratore," and ...
