BOOKS  He who sells a soul a book Gives that soul a sweeping look Through its pages Down the Ages;

Gives that soul a ship to sail Where the great adventures hail, On the sea Of destiny;

Gives that soul a vision-wide As the skies where stars abide And the far Lone planets are;

Gives that soul great dreams to Dream! Sunlit ways that glint and gleam

 Where great Sages Tramp the Ages!   WILLIAM LE ROY STIDGER

A real book is not one that we read, but one that reads us.   WYSTAN HUGH AUDEN

He who works with his hands is a laborer, He who works with his hands and his head is an artisan,

But he who works with his hands, his head, and his heart is an artist.  LOUIS NIZER

1 Burchard, Johann At the Court of the Borgia Being an Account of the Reign of Pope Alexander VI
London The Folio Society 1990 Hard Cover Fine Fine 
"The Borgias, also known as the Borjas, Borjia, were a European Papal family of Spanish origin with the name stemming from the familial fief seat of Borjia belonging to their Aragonese Lords; they became prominent during the Renaissance. The Borgias were patrons of the arts, and their support allowed many artists of the Renaissance to realize their potential. The most brilliant personalities of this era regularly visited their court. The Borgias became prominent in ecclesiastical and political affairs in the 1400s and 1500s. Today they are remembered for their corrupt rule when one of them was pope. They have been accused of many different crimes, including adultery, simony, theft, rape, bribery, incest, and murder (especially murder by arsenic poisoning). Because of their search for power, they made enemies of other powerful families such as the Medici and the Sforza, as well as the influential Dominican friar Savonarola....Pope Alexander VI (Spanish: Alejandro VI), born Roderic Llançol i Borja (Spanish: Rodrigo Lanzol; 1 January 1431 - August 1503) was Pope from 1492 until his death on 18 August 1503. He is one of the most controversial of the Renaissance popes, and his Italianized surname Borgia became a byword for the debased standards of the Papacy of that era, most notoriously the Banquet of Chestnuts in 1501." Wikipedia Fine brown decorated cloth. Gilt titles and decorations. Map Endpapers. Fine brown slipcase. Previous owner name white-out. (1990), 1963, 8vo, [5], 4-245pp. [1]
