NO RESERVE Eustace (John Chetwode or Chetwood, travel writer and Roman Catholic priest, 1761-1815).- Beattie (James) Minstrel; or, the Progress of Genius.

While the guide was antiquarian in tone, with an aesthetic preference for pure classicism over the Gothic and baroque styles, it was eloquent in its denunciation of contemporary absolutism and its championship of Italian liberty." - Oxford DNB.Kenneth Monkman (1911-98), book collector and restorer of Shandy Hall, Coxwold; expert on Laurence Sterne.

Particularly perplexing is Mary Rundal's Domestic Cookery Book, as neither the title nor its author appear to be recorded anywhere. Library Hub does record one copy an edition of Gordon's New Domestic Cookery (Dublin, 1849), and two editions of The New London Cookery (Joseph Smith, 1835 and c.1840). Although these editions give 'A Lady' as the author rather than 'S.W'., the one dated 1835 matches the collation of our work, so we can presume they are one and the same, although earlier editions have also been attributed to Esther Copley.This lot is subject to the following lot symbols: •• Zero rated for VAT, no VAT will be added to the Hammer Price or the Buyer's Premium.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

The Generation GT Collection, five Astons from across the decades.Supplied by Grange Aston Martin of Essex in Stronsay Silver with Pacific Blue leatherThis automatic Vantage was registered to the first of three owners on the 12/05/2003 Our vendor bought the car in 2015 from marque specialist Nicholas Mee & CoThe service book is well stamped with a mix of main dealer and specialistsPart of the Generation GT Collection, a carefully curated selection of Aston CoupesThe history file includes invoices, build sheets, purchase receipts and the service bookThe mileage is some 40,650 (atoc) and the car was serviced less than 1,000 miles agoAt this estimate this cracking DB7 Vantage is the perfect entry-level modern classicAston Martin introduced the long-awaited Vantage version of their successful DB7 in 1999. Sporting a Cosworth-designed, 5.9-litre V12 producing a creamy 420bhp, the car was super-quick and was electronically limited to 185mph. The V12 had a serious appetite for air compared to its 6-cylinder predecessor, demanding a larger intake and other modifications to the frontal airflow were made to aid cooling. Other changes included chassis and braking upgrades to cope with the increased performance, and Ian Callum enlarged the grille, added fog lamps, and restyled the valances to give the car a more purposeful look. This superb example of the V12 Vantage with a silky smooth automatic gearbox was supplied by Grange Aston Martin of Essex in Stronsay Silver with Pacific Blue leather interior. It has been enjoyed by three previous owners and the service records indicate some nine services. The current MOT is valid until the 10th June 2021 and the car is accompanied by the original green leather owner's guide including the service records, build sheet, purchase receipt, the V5c and invoices supporting the current mileage of just over 40,650 and a spare key.Front-engined, V12 Grand Tourers have seen mounting interest from enthusiasts over the last few years and this impressively presented DB7 Vantage with its ageless looks, sophisticated colour combination, service history and sensible "driver's" mileage, seems remarkable value for money and the perfect car for the first time modern-classic buyer.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A former Porsche Club GB Concours winnerThe 993 was the final generation of air-cooled 911s, and as such will always have a special place in the affections of Porsche enthusiastsOwned by our vendor, a long-time Porsche Centre principal and marque aficionado, since 2012 who ensured it was serviced every yearPrior to our vendor's purchase, it was completely checked over by senior Porsche Gold Standard technicians, who both gave it an excellent mechanical rating, plus the official Porsche repairers who confirmed it had never had any major bodywork repairsOriginal service book is complete, with all servicing, except one, being done at Porsche CentresWinner of a Porsche Club GB Concours event (with circa 80 cars in attendance) in 2015Fitted with a new Porsche factory Cabriolet roof and mechanismIn 1993 Porsche introduced what is regarded by many as the most beautiful 911 of all: the Type 993. Over the years the 911 had received numerous aerodynamic and safety-inspired add-ons, diluting the purity of the original form; the Type 993's arrival marked a return to basic principles, being recognisably a 911 but one in which all functions had been harmoniously integrated in a truly outstanding example of modern automotive styling. The range offered remained pretty much as before, comprising conventional two-wheel (Carrera 2) and four-wheel drive (Carrera 4) models, the legendary Turbo and the Cabriolet convertible, all powered by the latest, 3.6-litre version of Porsche's perennial flat-six engine. The Carrera, Carrera S, Cabriolet and Targa models (2WD) were available with a Tiptronic four-speed automatic transmission.The car presented here is a 1994 Porsche 911 (993) Cabriolet Tiptronic in attractive Iris Blue Metallic paintwork with a Marble Grey interior. Delivered new on the 12th August 1994 through Porsche AFN of London, the car has had just three previous keepers; the current one (our vendor) from 2012, has spent his professional life as a Porsche Centre Principal - so he knows a good Porsche! Prior to his purchase, it was completely checked over by senior Porsche 'Gold Standard' technicians, who both gave it an excellent mechanical rating, plus the official Porsche repairers who confirmed it had never had any major bodywork repair. With a complete service history, regular maintenance, and fastidious ownership, quite rightly the car won a Porsche Club GB Concours event (with circa 80 cars in attendance) in 2015. It was also on display in a Porsche Centre to showcase past models. Supplied with an impressive history file, full of invoices for maintenance, a Porsche COA, its complete book-pack (including a fully stamped-up service booklet), this particularly healthy car is in exceptional condition for its age/mileage (101,334). 993s are special Porsches and there are not many examples left like this, especially at such a tempting guide price.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The 'SA-30 Collection' - 30 exceptional vehicles chosen to celebrate 30 years of the Silverstone Classic and all excitingly offered at No ReserveOriginally a factory-supplied, left-hand drive 1975 2.7MFi Carrera- one of just 505 built in '75Usable for Road, Rally or Race - or all three!In 1996 was selected as the perfect basis to build a Porsche to FIA "IROC" RSR specificationHS Racing in Switzerland carried out the rebuild at great expense and with exceptional detailThe engine was originally built by Heini Schneebit using high butterfly injection, twin coils and all the usual RSR type mods used by Porsche to produce around 300bhpBilstein suspension on all corners and 930 Turbo large front brakesImported and campaigned by well known Porsche racer Nick FaureWon the Tour Espania in 2006, and later went on to win the Tour Britannia in 2008/2010Supplied with its old HTP. Issued 30/06/2006 (Period H1 '72-75 FIA Class GTS27)The car was refreshed by Mike Bainbridge who rebuilt the engine in 2012Old MOTs, V5cs, German titles, old HTP and dozens of detailed invoicesEligible for a number of prestigious International eventsThe Porsche you see here was originally a factory-supplied, left-hand drive 1975 2.7 MFi Carrera and according to its Certificate of Authenticity, dates from April 1975 - so is one of just 505 examples produced for 1975 out of the 1,618 total, built over three years. It was supplied through Mahag in Munich finished in Silver Metallic with a Black leatherette and Tweed interior and 7/8 x 15 Alloys. It was later used as the perfect basis to build a Porsche to FIA RSR specification in 1996. The body was upgraded to the less wild 3.0 IROC RSR wheel arch extensions and HS Racing in Switzerland carried out the rebuild at great expense and with exceptional attention to detail. The engine was originally built by Heini Schneebit using high butterfly injection, twin coils and all the usual RSR type mods used by Porsche to produce around 300bhp. Bilstein suspension was fitted on all corners and the car is fitted with 930 Turbo large front brakes.Later imported into the UK the Carrara became well known in competition and was an extremely competitive car in the hands of talented Porsche racer Nick Faure, who had raced RSRs in period for Porsche Cars GB and at Le Mans. With Nick at the helm, it won the Tour Espania in 2006, and later went on to win the Tour Britannia in 2008 and again in 2010.It appears to have become the property of Mike Smith from Bolton by Bowland in late 2010 and there are 3 invoices in his name from September and October of that year including one from Sean Lockyear Specialists cars for £8,868 which appears to be for pre-season race prep and lists a Fibreglass Bonnet and full a 'Lexan' glass replacement kit amongst much more. There is also an invoice from Holland for a 'Gateshift' kit and parts for £1,100.Between 11/03/2011 and 27/11/2012 there are around 35 detailed invoices in Mike Smith's name, mainly from DFR Motorsport and totalling £22,800. They are for race-prep, tyres, transport, test days, gearbox rebuilds, engine work etc in fact everything to do with running a competition car for a couple of seasons. There is simply far too much to list here and we suggest that interested parties book an appointment to view this fascinating file. Perhaps the two most important areas are a full engine rebuild by Mike Bainbridge Engineering in September 2012 and there is a six-page engine build spec sheet/list of parts in the file. At the same time, he also rebuilt the gearbox fitting new Guard Transmission components, a completely new gear cluster, new crown wheel and pinion and a new Guard limited-slip differential. The invoice from Guard Transmission totalled $9,120 and again invoices for these parts are included in the car's paperwork.The 911 has seen minimal usage since the mechanical refresh, continues to look incredibly purposeful in a shade of what looks like Speed Yellow with black Fuchs, and is presented in very good condition all round. It's currently set up more for circuit racing than road rallies, with the additional front light pod easily removed, however, this is a remarkably versatile little Porsche and could be used on a circuit, for road rallies and, as it's road registered, as a somewhat fast road car. A pair of race seats from the car are also included within the sale.The history file is packed and apart from the aforementioned invoices, includes an old set of FIA/HTP papers, German Titles, import documentation, the COA, old UK MOTs, V5cs etc.It would cost over £200,000 pounds to prepare a car to this spec today - and that excludes the challenge of trying to source a genuine '74 or '75 original 2.7 MFI Carrera for the basis - and, at this guide, we feel that this stunning road/race 911 represents tremendous value for money and we would welcome any inspection.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

A 'C16', right-hand drive, 50th Anniversary with 11,186 miles from new.Just 11,186 miles with a single owner and Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27/06/2019 at 10,861 miles)Full book-pack, key set and 50th Anniversary owners material A limited-edition 911 (just 1,963 examples) to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963Based on a Carrera S with special styling tweaks and discerning optional extras, including Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, darkened headlights surrounds, chrome highlights across the engine cover, Geyser Grey paint, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaqueRear-wheel drive but utilises the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4, which not only makes it look more muscular but also means that there's a wider track and revised suspension settingsPorsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical LSD comes as standard, and PASM, the marque's impressive adaptive damping system, is also includedThe 3.8-litre flat-six develops 394bhp. Fitted with the excellent paddle-shift PDK gearboxThe Porsche 911 50th Anniversary Edition, a limited edition 911 to mark 50 years since Porsche first unveiled its rear-engined sports car back in 1963. It's based on a 991 Carrera S with a few styling tweaks and a handful of optional extras. Production was limited to 1963 units, and prices started at £92,257 in 2014.The 50th Anniversary Edition is rear-wheel drive, but it uses the wider bodyshell from the four-wheel-drive Carrera 4. That not only makes it look more muscular than a standard Carrera S, it also means that there's a wider track and revised suspension settings.Porsche Torque Vectoring, which includes a mechanical limited-slip differential, is an optional extra on the Carrera S but it comes as standard fit on the 50th Anniversary Edition. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM), the marque's impressive adaptive damping system, is also included. The familiar 3.8-litre flat-six, which develops 394bhp at 7400rpm, is carried over unchanged. The paddle-shift PDK gearbox was available as an option at extra cost.Over and above the standard car, the most readily identifiable upgrades include the Fuchs-inspired 20-inch alloy wheels, the darkened headlights surrounds and the chrome highlights across the engine cover. Geyser Grey paintwork is specific to the 50th Anniversary Edition, while a darker shade of grey and the standard Carrera S hue Basalt Black were also available. Inside, cloth seat inserts and a dash-mounted plaque set this limited-edition model apart from the rest of the range.In Sport Plus mode, the car shakes itself down and really comes alive. Support at each corner is ramped up - although since PASM is adaptive it still works on uneven surfaces - throttle response is sharpened, and a brilliant throttle blip function perfectly matches engine and road speeds on the way down the gears.The 50th Anniversary Edition offered here has covered just 11,186 miles from new with a single owner and has Porsche Centre service history (last serviced 27th June 2019 at 10,861 miles). With the look and feel of a 'new' car, this is a real chance to own a limited edition 911 at a very enticing guide price.This was the second retrospectively-styled 911 that Porsche launched in the space of a few years. The 997-based Sport Classic of 2010 has since become a true collectors' item, the 50th Anniversary Edition has a similar cache.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years. In preparation for the sale, the engine will be flushed, filled with fresh oil and a new filter fitted, the fuel tank drained, flushed and filled with 20 litres of fuel, fitted with a new battery and issued with a fresh MOT Certificate. A safety check will also be carried out along with an inspection report included in the history file.You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover strapsThe engine is 1915cc which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspensionRegistered as a 1955 Chamonix so it's exempt from Road Fund TaxWith original 550 Spyders' at £5,000,000, this is a very good second best and represents remarkable valuePorsche's first attempt at building a race car was the 550 Spyder. It was powered by their Carrera 1500cc quad-cam flat-four engine and it soon gained a reputation as a ''Giant Killer'' with just a modest 115bhp. In 1956, an evolution of the Spyder won the Targa Floria and the 550 was to record numerous successes worldwide over the next few years. During September 1955 one of the first ninety 550 Spyders (Vin 550-0055) would, sadly, be immortalised in history when James Dean, actor and budding racing driver, collided with Donald Turnupseed on his way to the Salinas Road Race. The trans-axle was removed from the wreck of the Spyder and is still owned in the USA, and the battered bodywork of ''Little Bastard'' toured the States as a macabre reminder to speeding motorists. Between venues, it went missing and has not been heard of since, however, somebody knows where it is.Offered here is Chamonix 550 Spyder built in 2009 by Special Editions Inc. (USA) from the base car manufactured in Sao Paulo in Brazil. It was initially supplied to F1 Assistant Race Director, Herbie Blash who's usually seen in the driver's weighing room after a Grand Prix. Special Editions Inc. has been responsible for producing other 550 Spyders for the likes of Jay Leno and designer Gordon Murray leaving no doubt about the quality and desirability of these well-crafted cars. The overall fit and finish of the bodywork is of an exceptionally high standard and the general condition is commensurate with only having covered 3,500 miles. The rear wings have been painstakingly detailed with red painted flashes with gold edging as a 'nod' to period race liveries and are painted on. The look continues with a GT mirror, Porsche badging, mesh headlight covers and leather engine-cover straps. The red leather interior features a 14'' Nardi wood rim wheel, aluminium control stalks, and a push-button starter. The weather equipment consists of full/half tonneau and side screens. The engine is 1915cc which gives vivid performance combined with the legendary nimble handling offered by the tubular chassis and coil-over suspension. It's registered as a 1955 Chamonix so it's exempt from Road Fund Tax.With original 550 Spyders' at £5,000,000, this is a very good second best and in this condition, and at this guide, represents remarkable value.This car has formed part of a significant collection for the past few years.

Desirable, fully restored, last year of production, GTSThe ultimate 928 incarnation, the GTS was launched at Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, boasting a 5.4-litre V8 engine producing 345bhp, bigger brakes, new bodywork and an automatic gearbox fitted with Dynamic KickdownLast-year-of-production UK/right-hand drive GTS with full history with just four ownersGreat combination of Midnight Blue paintwork with Classic Grey leather interior97,000 miles covered. Fully restored just 5,000 miles ago by GCR Purely Porsche (c£35,000)Major works included: a full engine and gearbox rebuild; all new springs, shock absorbers, wheel bearings, bushes; all suspension parts cleaned and powder coated; rear sub-frame dismantled, cleaned and powder coated; all new brake discs, with pads and callipers, overhauled and powder-coated; new brake lines and flex hoses, rebuilt power steering rack, plus much moreIn terms of the 928, in 1989 Porsche moved the game on with the even more powerful 928 GT, which with a top speed of around 170mph was the Stuttgart firm's fastest production car at that time, before launching the model's ultimate incarnation: the 928 GTS. Introduced at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1991, the latter boasted a 5.4-litre engine producing all of 345bhp and automatics were fitted with the much faster responding Dynamic Kickdown gearboxes setting them apart from the previous models. Externally, the GTS differed from the S4 with its new style of alloy wheels, flared rear arches and a body-coloured rear spoiler. What Porsche was not advertising when the 928 was released was the price; it was among the most expensive cars on the road at the time. This severely hampered sales despite the model's level of competency and long standard equipment list. Porsche discontinued the GTS in 1995 after selling only 2,904 examples in total, which at the time was a problem, but in 2020 makes for a rare and incredibly desirable Porsche.The car presented here is a C16 (UK-supplied) 1995 Porsche 928 GTS automatic delivered new through HR Owen Porsche of St Albans on the 8th June 1995, making it one of the last 928s registered in the UK. Superbly finished in Midnight Blue Metallic with Marble Grey/Midnight Blue interior, this impressive car has been enjoyed by just four owners who have diligently maintained a full service history.The history file tells us that the first owner, Mr Ronson, was Chairman and Founder of the Heron Motor Group with the car being used exclusively by himself and his wife. In December 2000, the car passed to a Heron employee, Mr Gregg, when the mileage was c30,000. He subsequently sold the car in October 2002, with c34,000 miles, to a Mr Turnball who kept it until September 2015, when our Porsche enthusiast vendor was the lucky buyer. He set about fully researching the history of the car and capturing it all in a large file and there is a complete book-pack, including an original stamped-up service booklet and invoices for maintenance going back over the years. At just over 90,000 miles, our vendor commissioned a programme of works that saw the car fully restored by specialist Chris Sargeant of GCR Purely Porsche, Leicester. This work was completed just 5,000 miles ago, cost c£35,000, and included a full engine and gearbox rebuild, all new springs, shock absorbers, wheel bearings and bushes, all suspension parts cleaned and powder coated, all new brake discs, pads and callipers, new brake lines and flex hoses and a power steering rack rebuild, plus much more besides. Where possible, original parts were re-conditioned to preserve originality and where necessary replacement Porsche Genuine Parts used to ensure performance and longevity. All this work is documented with invoices and photos, plus there is a Porsche COA, all original documentation and MOT Certificates.The car has since done very well in prestigious PCGB Concours events, a testament to having just a handful of diligent owners and the amazing work carried out on it recent times, making it one of most special 928 GTS examples currently available, at what is a tempting guide price.(*The registration number illustrated '54 GTS' is available to purchase by separate negotiation*)You can now book a one to one appointment (up to one hour) to view this lot at our central location between 16th and 30th July.

The original Turbo in classic colours and superb condition.UK-supplied, C16, right-hand drive, 911 Turbo with just 76,943 miles from newPresented in gleaming Guards Red with Linen piped-red leather sports seatsComprehensive history file including original service book and a wealth of invoicesOn offer from a large private collection of landmark cars selected for its remarkable conditionOffered recently serviced with a clean MOT valid to July 2021, spare keys and listed on a very sensible guideHaving accrued a wealth of experience of turbocharging air-cooled engines from their racing program, it seemed to make perfect sense for Porsche to utilise that knowledge by applying it to their famous rear-engined sports car, and consequently, at the 1973 Paris motor show, they unveiled a prototype turbocharged 911, the 'Type 930'. Porsche engineers tested both the 2.7 and 3.0-litre engines, with the 3.0 air-cooled flat-six (that could trace its origins back to the 911 RSR) being chosen as it produced more torque low down. By attaching a Kühnle, Kopp and Kausch (KKK) turbocharger, the 930 was the most powerful production Porsche thus far and, suddenly, the 911 was a supercar.The production-ready 911 Turbo was shown at the Paris show in autumn 1974, and not surprisingly in an era when turbocharging was seen as rather exotic, captivated the world's motoring press. Rightly, it was billed as a supremely fast and luxurious flagship model, combining ballistic performance and head-turning looks with air conditioning, electric windows and other creature comforts. In 1977/78, capacity went up from 3.0 to 3.3 litres and an air-to-air intercooler was positioned under the rear spoiler. The spoiler was re-profiled and raised slightly to make room for the intercooler assembly, and this meant saying goodbye to the 'whale-tail' and welcoming the equally distinctive 'tea-tray'.Supplied new by Charles Follett Limited, London and first registered on 01 February 1985, this 911 Turbo had been specified in traditional Guards Red but rather than stick to black leather, the 911s first owner chose Linen leather piped in Guards Red resulting in a much brighter cockpit. Today this beautiful example shows just 76,943 miles on the speedometer at the time of cataloguing and this is supported by an extremely detailed and comprehensive history file.Within the history file is the original Porsche service book, fully stamped, with an additional book containing further entries, no less than 20 services recorded. The file also contains MOT Certificates dating back to 1990 at 36,861 miles, old tax discs and a wealth of invoices supporting the detailed maintenance record.The Guards Red paintwork retains a deep shine, the interior remains smart, the red-centred Fuchs alloys appear unmarked and it's clear to see that this example has been extremely well looked after over the years. We are informed that the car performs exactly as an 80s 911 Turbo should with an addictive surge of power when the turbo wakes up.A 930 Turbo should be on every Porsche enthusiasts bucket list and this is a great example in classic colours accompanied by very detailed history file demonstrating the care and attention it has rightfully received over the years. It was last serviced in July 2019 at 76,893 miles, the MOT is valid until July 2021 and it's on offer at a very sensible guide.

SAINT-EXUPERY ANTOINE DE: (1900-1944) French Aristocrat, Pioneer Aviator and Writer, author of The Little Prince. A very fine, poignant Autograph Sentiment signed, Antoine de Saint-Exupery, in the form of a letter, one page, oblong 8vo (evidently removed from an album or visitors book), n.p. (Portugal), n.d. (annotated 2nd December 1940 in an unidentified hand at the foot of the page), to Pereira de Carvalho, in French. Saint-Exupery explains that he was already aware of Carvalho through two of his best friends, Jean-Gerard Fleury and Henri Guillaumet, who had included the Portuguese in their worship of his country, continuing 'And now I meet you by an inconceivable chance on the very day when we both lose Henri Guillaumet, a friend we loved' and further adding 'Allow me therefore to also declare myself your friend because the kindness of your welcome has moved me and it is now my turn to include you in my worship of Portugal - Also because Guillaumet was, in aviation, my eldest comrade and my guide, just as he had been in friendship'. A charming and beautifully written sentiment in honour of Guillaumet and a rare autograph document linking the great French aviators at a significant date. Some very light, extremely minor age wear, VG Jean-Gerard Fleury (1905-2002) French Businessman, Aviator, Journalist & Writer. Henri Guillaumet (1902-1940) French Aviator, regarded by some as the best pilot of his age. Whilst carrying the mail between Argentina and Chile Guillaumet crashed his plane in bad weather conditions and, having survived, walked for a week over three mountain passes before being miraculously rescued. To his friend, Saint-Exupery, who had come to find Guillaumet, the pilot famously declared 'What I have done, I swear to you, no animal would have done'. Saint-Exupery went on to tell the remarkable adventure of his friend in his book Wind, Sand and Stars (1939). Guillaumet was shot down by an Italian fighter plane over the Mediterranean Sea on 27th November 1940 whilst en route to Syria with Jean Chiappe, the new French High Commissioner to the Levant. Saint-Exupery's statement is dated a few days after his friend's tragic death at the age of 38 although, given the circumstances, it is understandable that Guillaumet's death would have taken a few days to be confirmed.

Lucian of Samosata. Dialogoi, editio princeps, collation: Α-Β8, α-ω8, αα-ηη8, 262 (of 264 leaves, lacking the first and last blanks), Greek text in single column, 41-44 lines, type: 5:IIIGk, blank spaces for capitals, with no guide letters, opening page framed in a fine and lavishly illuminated full-border, with small flowers, acanthus leaves, fruits, birds, and gold-rayed discs, at the top two cornucopias, lower panel containing a large cartouche including a blue lion coat-of-arms, flanked by the gold initials 'io' and perhaps 'm' (smudged), right panel exquisitely painted, depicting a scholar, presumably Lucianus himself, with long curly hair, sitting and reading a book, same leaf with ten-line gold initial 'A' with interlaced branches on black ground, and a portion of a portico supported by a cherub, a very good copy with wide margins, water-staining to front endpapers thus affecting lower panel of illumination on first leaf, a few early ink stains, foxing and browning in places, light water-stain to lower blank margins of final quires, a few minor stains to gutter of two final leaves, early inked foliation and marginalia in Greek and Latin in the same hand, front pastedown with early inked shelfmark 'A. 58.', and an erased, illegible annotation, 17th-century limp vellum, spine with five raised bands underlined by gilt fillets, compartments decorated with floral tool, title in gilt on red lettering-piece, small tear to vellum on upper cover fore-edge and another on lower joint, tailband loose, folio (330 x 235mm.), Florence, Lorenzo de Alopa, 1496.⁂ A magnificent example of a Florentine incunable embellished with a high-quality illumination: the rare editio princeps of Lucianus' Dialogues edited by Ianos Laskaris - a masterpiece of early Greek typography. This is one of the three dated editions published by Lorenzo de Alopa, the first Florentine printer to produce books in Greek, the others being the Anthologia Graeca of 1494 and the Argonautica of Apollonius Rhodius, which appeared in 1496. The text of Lucianus was set in the third Greek type cut for Alopa, a lower-case with accents and breathings, used also for the commentary surrounding Apollonius' Argonautica. The opening leaf of this sumptuous copy bears artwork executed by an artist of considerable skill. The decorative pattern of the border, the particular palette of colours and tones, the illusionistic three-dimensional composition, the hair- and beard-style of the figure reading a book in the right-hand panel - almost certainly a depiction of Lucian himself - have many similarities to illuminations attributed to the miniaturist known as 'Petrus V', possibly originating from Lombardy. This artist was also active in Padua and Venice in the 1470s in the production of illuminated incunables, creating masterful illustrations for a distinguished clientele, as demonstrated by the magnificent copy of the Breviarium Romanum printed in 1478 by Nicolaus Jenson (Glasgow University Library, B.f.1.18). From Veneto he moved to Rome, where he worked in the 1480s and 1490s, receiving several commissions from prestigious patrons to illuminate printed books. A refined work for a refined patron: the smudged coat-of-arms included in the border is similar to that of the famous and wealthy Sforza family, while the capital letters painted in gold may be read as 'io' and 'm', suggesting the possible identity of the first owner of the present copy: Giovanni Maria Sforza (d. ca. 1520), the son of Francesco, Duke of Milan. As a Protonotary Apostolic he was a member of the Roman curia, and in 1498 was appointed Archbishop of Genoa. The Elmer Belt Library of the University of California at Los Angeles preserves a single leaf from Book ii of the Nicolaus Jenson edition of Pliny the Elder's Historia naturalis of 1476, whose border and first initial were possibly illuminated for Gian Galeazzo Sforza (1469-1494). In this leaf the inscription, only partially legible, 'opvs petri v m' supports "the Lombard origins of this intriguing artist. The letters of Petrus' surname suggest Vimercate, the name of a town midway between Milan and Bergamo, earlier the patria of another illuminator, Guinifortus de Vicomercato" (The Painted Page, p. 178).Literature: HC (+Add) 10258*; GW M18976; BMC vi, 667; IGI 5834; Goff L-320; Rhodes Firenze, 416; Flodr Lucianus, 1; Hoffmann iii, pp. 29-30; Legrand i, 19; Staikos, Charta, pp. 277-278; J.
