Teofilo FolengoOpus Merlini Cocaii poetae Mantuani MacaronicorumVenice: Horatium de Gobbis, 1581. 12mo. Type in Roman and italic, 35 lines plus headline. Contemporary limp vellum, covers ruled blind, contemporary manuscript supralibros “A.G.,” contemporary manuscript title on spine, 4 leather bands piercing covers at spine. A-Z12 (Z12 a blank, Q6 signed Q9, X3 signed H3): 276 leaves. 5 1/2 x 3 in. Title-page with woodcut device, 26 woodcuts, decorated initials, printer’s ornaments, side-notes. Binding slightly shrunken, tailband broken but binding intact, minor stray soiling.First published in 1521, this work is an important example of macaronic verse, a satirical and synthetic mixture of languages, using hybrid words and a pastiche of Latin and vernacular Italian. The author, Teofilo Folengo, a Benedictine monk, was the best representative of the genre. His masterpiece Baldus, collected here, is a poem in macaronic hexameters, and was published under the pseudonym Merlin Cocai. In addition to Baldus, the work includes the parodic Zanitonella love poetry and the fable Moschaea, about a battle between flying ants. Satirical throughout, the work bordered on sacrilege when it addressed the topic of the clergy.The experience from Folengo’s traveling life makes his poems one of the most important source books on contemporary life and customs. His work, and macaronic poetry more broadly, enjoyed great popularity in the 16th and 17th centuries in Italy and beyond. Indeed it appealed to Rabelais, who found in it the prototype for his Panurge and Gargantua.Provenance: In addition to the supralibros, an ownership inkstamp “GLP” is present on the title-page.

John OldhamCharacter of a Certain Ugly Old P—— [from L. Meriton, Pecuniae obediunt Omnia ...][S.l.: Printed, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, 1698]. Excised saddle-stitched signatures (in 8s). 20 pp, (paginated [110-111], 112-130 pp). 7 ½ x 4 ¾ in. Contemporary manuscript doodle to final leaf verso. First two leaves loose, marginal chips, old bookseller's annotations to title-page, minor foxing.Despite the year on the title (in fact a section-title), this work was first published in 1696 as part of Pecuniae obediunt Omnia. Money Masters All, attributed by Wing to L. Meriton — likely Luke Meriton, son of George. The present copy is from the second edition of 1698. Meriton's volume was a group of satirical poems "shewing the power and influence of money over all arts," as well as the present work.John Oldham was a poet and satirist, whose work — though little-remembered today — was admired in his time, including by Charles Sedley, the Earl of Rochester, the Earl of Dorset, and most significantly John Dryden, who composed an elegy upon his death. His poems imitated the classical Satires of Juvenal, and his translation of Juvenal saw publication after his death. This scathing prose satire presents a priest so grotesque that he sleeps with his ears tied around the top of his head like a nightcap.The grandson of a famous anti-papist, and son of a Protestant preacher, Oldham turned his wit against many of his contemporaries — perhaps most avowedly against the Jesuit community. He died at the age of 30 from smallpox. An old bookseller's annotation on the title-page misidentifies this as being excised from the 1684 The Works of John Oldham, Together with his Remains, published after his death.Wing M1821B, ESTC R202913Condition as described in catalogue note.

Ed TempletonTeenage KissersNew York: Seems, 2011. First edition. Offset. Perfect bound in wraps. 84 pages. 8 x 7 ½ in. More than 80 photographic illustrations. Inscribed and signed on the title-page. With 23 x 23 inch folded poster on newsprint signed by Templeton loosely inserted, as issued. Upper wrap with stray instance of soiling and bumped at head.First, limited edition, one of 1000. One of Templeton's most renowned works, Aaron Rose writes, "Teenage Kissers should be viewed as a historical volume. As we look at these photographs of young people exchanging awkward kisses we are reminded again of that wonderful uncomfortability that comes with the discovery of young sexuality. Not only do we all remember the feeling of that first clumsy teenage kiss, as mature viewers we can now look at the photos from afar and understand exactly where it's all going. Like its predecessor, Teenage Kissers is a perfect documentation of this feeling."Condition as described in catalogue note.
