Book First Edition
No Binding. Condition: New. 1st Edition. New digital facsimile (in electronic PDF format on CD-ROM disc) of the 1529 first edition of this classic of esotericism and design, as well as the celebrated 1927 English translation designed by Bruce Rogers and published by the Grolier Club. Geofroy Tory's Champ fleury belongs to that select class of works that continue to enlighten nearly five centuries after publication. Ostensibly a formal treatise on letters and letterforms, Tory's beautifully illustrated book contains, like the Hypnerotomachia Poliphili, tantalizing hints of a larger and more comprehensive meaning and purpose to its enigmatic text and illustrations. This Octavo Edition contains detailed digital images of magnificent copies of the two editions from the Library of Congress (may be magnified at up to 200% of original size) as well as a new introduction by typography expert Kay Amert and detailed bibliographical information.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Reprint in facsimile of original 1927 Grolier Club edition of 397 copies (7 on larger hand-made paper). xxiii, 208 pp; illus. Original cloth. 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.' '.
