Greenhill (Elizabeth, binder).- Morison (Stanley) and Kenneth Day. The Typographic Book 1450-1935: A Study of Fine Typography through Five Centuries, first edition, wood-engraved titles by Reynolds Stone printed in terracotta, folding plate, illustrations, bound in dark green goatskin, by Elizabeth Greenhill, upper cover with title in large onlaid red and black goatskin lettering and gilt-tooling, lower cover with tooling in gilt and blind, title, authors and date in gilt across spine, t.e.g., maroon Japanese endpapers, signed by binder at foot of rear turn-in (executed 1965), preserved in dark green goatskin-backed cloth drop-back box, spine titled in gilt with small gilt crests (rubbed and a little faded, short splits to upper joint), [Catalogue Raisonné 37], 4to, 1963. ⁂ Elizabeth Greenhill (1907-2007) first started bookbinding at the École des Arts Décoratifs pour Dames in Paris, learning the intriquacies of gold-tooling, and later studied at the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London under Douglas Cockerell and William Matthews. She began restoring books but gradually started designing her own bindings, becoming known for two distinctive styles: the "cloud-bindings" of onlaid leather shapes, and bindings using large gilt-tooled lettering as in this work. She was the first woman elected as a member of the Guild of Contemporary Bookbinders (now Designer Bookbinders) in 1961, serving both as Secretary for some years and later President. The binding was commissioned by Lord Wardington and was exhibited at the 'Modern British Bookbinding' exhibition held at the Bibliotheca Wittockiana, Brussels, and the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, The Hague, in 1985.

Dionysius Carthusianus. Insigne Commentariorum opus, in Psalmos omnes Davidicos..., collation: *4, A-Z6, a-z6, aa-ee6, ff4, AA-HH6, woodcut printer's device to title, woodcut initials, some marginal staining and a few wormholes, 18th century calf, rebacked, rubbed, folio (310 x 195 mm.), Cologne, Peter Quentell, March 1531. ⁂ First edition of the earliest work by Dionysius (1402-1471), the phenomenally productive Flemish theologian, Carthusian monk, ecstatic, and associate of Nicolas of Cusa, for whom he composed treatises refuting Muslim belief, superstition, and magical practices. His exegetical writings begin with the present commentary (1434) and go on to treat the entire New and Old Testaments, while his philosophical writings reflect the Christian Platonism of his namesake 'the Areopagite', and the mysticism of John and Hugh of St. Victor, and Saint Bonaventure. He also edited Boethius, Peter Lombard, and ps-Dionysius, simplified the text of Cassian, codified 'rules of Christian living' for churchmen and laymen alike, and agitated for military action against the Turks after the fall of Constantinople. 'He has been called the last of the Schoolmen', observes the Catholic Encyclopaedia', and 'he is so, in the sense that he is the last important Scholastic writer, and that his works may be considered to form a vast encyclopedia of the scholastic teaching of the Middle Ages: this their primary characteristic and chief merit'. The modern edition of Dionysius' Opera Omnia (ed. M. Leone, 1896-1935) runs to forty-four quarto volumes. The first edition of In Psalmos omnes Davidicos, the first stepping-stone toward that 'vast encyclopedia', is - despite its bulk - uncommon: COPAC lists only a 'Cathedral Libraries' copy, and other editions of 1534, 1539, 1547, 1558, to which may be added those of 1542 and 1548 (WorldCat). Literature: Adams D557 (three copies); VD 16 1922 (nine copies in Germany; apparently there are none in American institutions.)
