paperback. 9.2 x 11.625 inches. paperback. 140 pages. Rare Books and Manuscripts from the Arthur and Janet Freeman Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection. Second edition, revised, of this exhibition catalogue, undertaken after the initial print run of 500 copies of the first edition (2014) sold out by popular demand. This revised edition includes substantive changes in the front matter and initial chapter overview of the collection that have been informed by the robust growth of the collection up to the present day, and by the anticipated 2017 publication of a further scholarly volume of essays inspired by the collection, edited by Walter Stephens and Earle Havens of JHU, and written by an international cohort of a dozen leading forgery scholars. In addition to providing a checklist of 70 treasures from the Arthur and Janet Freeman Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection, this beautifully illustrated volume includes five essays that explore the phenomenon of forgery as a creative literary form and provide an interesting and informative sense of the broader collection. With nearly 1,700 individual items, the Bibliotheca Fictiva Collection is the largest and most comprehensive collection of books and manuscripts of forgery in the world. Highlights include editions of Jesus' posthumous "Letter from Heaven," eyewitness accounts of the Fall of Troy, annotated books from Shakespeare's personal library, Alpine inscriptions recording Noah's settlement of Vienna after the Flood, and a first-hand account of the discovery of Homer's tomb. The collection was assembled over a 50-year period and acquired by the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University in 2011. This volume is illustrated in color throughout and was designed by Scott J. Vile at the Ascensius Press. Distributed for The Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University.…

Large octavo, xviii+118 pages, original wrappers, a very good copy. First edition, inscribed.

paperback. 9.5 x 12 inches. paperback. 122 pages. First edition. In addition to providing a complete bibliography of the Dr. Elliott and Eileen Hinkes Collection of Rare Books in the History of Scientific Discovery, this beautifully-illustrated volume includes narrative essays that put the books in the collection into their proper historical context. With well over 250 individual items, the Hinkes Collection encompasses over 500 years of printing history in the West. The collection is remarkable both in its quality and breadth of materials, and is distinguished by its disciplined focus on the true "Eureka!" moments that have permanently transformed our understanding of the natural world since the era of classical antiquity. This collection of rare books was donated to the Sheridan Libraries of Johns Hopkins University in 2010 by the Hinkes family, and appears here for the first time fully described in printed form. A graduate of Johns Hopkins University's School of Arts and Sciences in 1964, and the School of Medicine in 1967, Dr. Hinkes maintained a private medical practice in oncology and hematology in the Los Angeles area for several decades, while also serving as an Associate Clinical Professor at UCLA. Dr. Hinkes gathered this rich collection over a period of two decades focusing, in particular, upon the history of astronomy and physics. However, his collecting interests were widespread, including mathematics, the planetary sciences, meteorology, biology, chemistry, optics, and technology. This volume is illustrated in full color throughout and was beautifully designed by Scott J. Vile at the Ascensius Press. Distributed for The Sheridan Libraries, Johns Hopkins University.…
