Contact seller5-star sellerFull Leather. Condition: Fine binding. First Edition. Folio. [44] pp., frontis, plates. Limited edition, one of 120 copies, this copy out of series; there are also 26 lettered, deluxe copies with a suite of 10 engravings. All are signed by Bringhurst, Wagener, and Peter Koch at the colophon. Bound by Camille Botelho in black box… calf with inlays and onlays of dyed calf, vinyl snakeskin, painted paper mylar laminates, and a porcupine quill; hand embroidered endbands; vinyl snakeskin doublures. A fine copy in clamshell box. True to form, Peter Koch has produced a marvelous edition of what remains of Parmenides's poem, "On Nature." The fragments of the poem are rendered in this opposite page, bilingual edition with the Greek on the left and Bringhurst's English translation on the right. The poetry is brilliantly accompanied by Wagner's striking engravings, a frontispiece and 4 additional wood engravings in red and orange. Given it survives only in fragments, there is some debate as to the "meaning" of the symbolism of Parmenides's poem, making it a work ripe for interpretation. But at base, his view of reality is one of stasis, unchangeable. And while that enduring Greek logic marks the work, Wagener introduces remarkably abstract and kinetic illustrations printed in an urgent deep red and orange?projecting anything but stasis. It is the discord between the logical understanding or reality and the emotional understanding of it that spoke to Botelho and informed her design of this incredible binding. She writes: "In the design I thought of Parmenides looking out past shadowy arches from within a dark room to find total chaos beyond. The curve of the Mylar inlay and the curve of the porcupine quill mimic a column, marking a threshold beyond which is uncontrolled noise and movement and mess. I wanted the disparity between the smoothness of the box calf and the chaos of the inlays and yellow foiling to be a comment on how frightening examining one's reality can be." Magnificently achieved, Botelho has created an exceptional binding, that bridges Parmenides and Wagener, giving voice to the paradox she sees in this metaphysical conversation on the nature of reality. Signed.

The book, suite of engravings, and broadsides are housed together in publisher's orange silk-covered "drop-back" box. Also includes the prospectus in original envelope, 4-page "Key to the Specimen of the Parmenides Type," and a copy of the companion volume, CARVING THE ELEMENTS (Berkeley: 2004), featuring essays from each of the book's contributors that document the 10-year history behind the making of the book. NO TRADE EDITION ISSUED - only these 26 deluxe copies in full leather with the extra suite of engravings and type specimens housed in a special box and 120 numbered copies in quarter leather with clamshell case, 20 of which were reserved for the contributors. ALSO INCLUDES collector Allen Mears' extensive file of ephemera and correspondence related to the project, including LETTERS SIGNED BY BRINGHURST (3), KOCH (2), and WAGENER (1) and printouts of email correspondence with each as well as various others. (See pictures for an overview of the contents of the file). With nearly 1/3 of the copies in libraries per OCLC and given the small number printed, not to mention the 20 copies to the contributors, it is understandable that this remarkable production is scarce to rare on the market. Altogether fine condition. Signed.

Four 4to volumes bound in heavy cardstock -- three with Bringhurst's polyphonic poetry meant to be read by 3 people at once; and the last with Bringhurst's afterword describing the evolution of both poem and project, the subscribers list (Mear's name is 3rd on the list), and the colophon leaf. HOUSED IN ORIGINAL BOX WHICH WAS AVAILABLE TO BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY. Box measures approximately 17.25 x 17.25 x 4" and holds the elaborately constructed fold-out lecterns -- one for each book.

TOGETHER WITH the original prospectus, various pre-publication announcements, and extensive correspondence (in the form of printed emails and typed, signed letters) between collector Allen Mears, Bringhurst and The Center, INCLUDING A SIX-PAGE TYPED LETTER SIGNED BY BRINGHURST discussing the genesis of the project, his hopes for it, a 2004 performance of the poem, etc., with a copy of his 2-page design notes with drawings "submitted to Hedi Kyle and Richard Minsky a couple of years ago." Altogether fine. Signed.
