About This Item
[Geneva] Henricus Stephanus [Henri Estienne] 1593, 1593. First Estienne edition. Folio. 333x203mm. pp. [28], 427 [1bl];131 [1bl]; XXXIIII, [10]: 31, [19, 2bl]. Woodcut initials and headpieces. Eighteenth century speckled calf, double fillet border to covers, spine with six raised bands, compartments lavishly decorated in gilt, brown morocco label to second compartment lettered in gilt and red morocco label to sixth compartment decorated with a swan and coronet which is the crest of the Touchet family, latterly Barons Audley. Front pastedown has the armorial bookplate of Shute Barrington, the Bishop of Salisbury. The Barrington arms are impaled with those of the Bishop and the coat is encircled by the Garter with its motto which the Bishop of Salisbury, as the Chancellor of the Order of the Garter, was entitled to use. The crest on the coat is the Episcopal mitre. Slight bumping to the corners and repair to head and foot of spine, but overall in very good condition. Internally near fine and beautifully printed by Henri Estienne, the third generation of the great Parisian printing house and often regarded as the finest of all the Estienne printers and one of the "greatest and last scholarly editors and publishers of the Renaissance". This edition of Isocrates is the one established by Hieronymous Wolf (the work which made his name as a Humanist scholar) and revised by Estienne whose seven Diatribes make up the final part of the book.

About Voewood Rare Books
Simon Finch has been a Rare Book Dealer since 1980. He has had shops in Notting Hill Gate, Mayfair and Holt, Norfolk. His firm has handled a wide variety of material from the First Folio of Shakespeare to the wilder shores of the counterculture and everything in between. In 1998, Simon bought Voewood, one of the finest Arts and Crafts and houses and brought it back to life with an eight-year programme of renovation and restoration. Voewood Rare Books, which operates from Voewood, is the continuation for Simon of a long career in the book trade. It also represents an important link with the House. Voewood is always beautiful, surprising, mysterious and perhaps a little disorientating and we aim to bring something of this spirit to the bookshop. Whilst our focus in on the visual arts, literature and the counter-culture, we deal also in a broad range of antiquarian and modern rare books across all subject areas. Our collection can be found here at Biblio and on our website. We are open by appointment and can always be contacted by email.
