A propos de cet article

152 x 95 mm. (6 x 3 3/4"). 6 p.l., 192 pp., [17] leaves; 1 p.l., 70 pp. EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE RECENT REPLICA BLACK CALF, ELEGANTLY AND ELABORATELY TOOLED IN GILT AND BLIND IN 17TH CENTURY STYLE BY PHILIP DUSEL, covers with dual gilt-ruled border, central panel with intricate gilt foliate fleuron cornerpieces and even more convoluted triangular sidepieces, the rest of the covers with an overall background of assertively subtle lozenges, medallions, and clustered arabesques all delicately tooled in blind; gilt-rolled raised bands, spine compartments densely gilt in filigree pattern, gilt-rolled turn-ins, all edges gilt. Woodcut borders on title pages, woodcut head- and tailpieces. Wing H-1519, H-1047; ESTC R20910, R12710. AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY, the text entirely fresh, bright, and clean, and the impressive retrospective binding unworn. This is an extremely desirable copy of an early edition of a major 17th century work of English poetry, combining an unusually well-preserved text with a splendid replication of a contemporary binding by the gifted and highly respected binder Philip Dusel. After serving for a period as a university functionary, George Herbert (1593-1633) experienced a call to the clergy and thereafter devoted himself to the religious life. In 1630, he received from Charles I the rectory at Bemerton and served there as a dedicated cleric for the remainder of his life. As an outgrowth of his rector's experience, Herbert wrote "The Priest to the Temple," a practical, wise, and often witty manual for the country parson. Through this, and especially through his incandescent religious poetry, Herbert became, posthumously, one of the most influential religious figures of the 17th century. First published in 1633, "The Temple" contains some 160 poems--nearly all the verse Herbert wrote--and this work assured his place in the pantheon of early English poets, devotional or otherwise. The present eighth edition is bound here with the fourth edition of "The Synogogue," a Herbert pastiche anonymously written by poet and clergyman Christopher Harvey (1597-1663) and usually printed together with "The Temple" after its first (separate) appearance in 1640. Our replica binding is remarkable, highlighting technical virtuosity, aggressively delicate touch, and notably high standards of craft and materials. Dusel's modern interpretations of classic binding styles impress with their fidelity, and they often innocently deceive all but the most sophisticated collector. One small but telling piece of evidence of his skill here can be seen in the slightly dulled spine gilt--there is no question that this convincingly subtle aging was the work of the binder and not the result of protracted exposure to light. Based in Davis, California, Dusel was binder-in-residence at the University of Alabama's Institute of Book Arts. When Bernard Middleton, the dean of British book conservators, saw examples of Dusel's work in California, he is reported to have said he was going to go away and shoot himself. Dusel's bindings are not signed, but we know that this is his work because in 2011 the volume was in the inventory of Stuart Bennett, who noted in his records that the binding was done by Dusel.…
