Near Fine. 'In 1524 he discovered The Book of Hours, and in 1525 Geoffroy published a copy, which became famous because he introduced there a type design that was free of the idea of printing which duplicated handwriting. This work also initiated the idea of book designing as an art in France. In 1529 Tory published his own book, Champfleury, one of the most important and influential works of the time. It set a standard for French publishing that in many ways is still followed today. In the introduction to Champfleury, Tory is quoted as saying that there are three different kinds of men who corrupt the French language; the 'skimmers of Latin', the 'jokers', and the 'slangers.'

This copy bound by Don Glaister in full crimson goatskin with typographic design referencing Rogers's type design throughout the volumea stylized A on the front cover and Z on the rear tooled in blind and gold transitioning to painted lines.

Crimson cork endpapers, gold and crimson silk headbands accent the original gold top-edge. Signed in blind on the rear pastedown with date and gold dot, "Donald Glaister 2025." Fine in clamshell. This edition, designed by Bruce Rogers is the first English translation of Tory's landmark work begun in 1523 and published 1529. Tory's influence on 16th century typography was immeasurablemoving French printing away from gothic types towards the roman faces, a movement that would define modern typography. D. B. Updike calls Tory's Champ Fleury "one of the important books in the history of letter design" (I, p. 188). A beautiful edition that took decades for Rogers to bring from a proposal to the Grolier Club to a printed edition. And of all he designed, it was among Rogers's favorite (#24 in BR Thirty). Tory's groundbreaking and forward-looking work had long been a classic text by the time Rogers designed this edition 400 years later. Now 100 years further on, Glaister adds his voice to this typographic tradition, and in his distinct style, takes these now-classic letterforms and nudges them into modernity. Haas 413. Grolier 361.
