PARADISE REGAIN'D.

Cresset Press, London 1931. Folio, 4 f.bl., IV, 89, 2f.bl. and 4 full page wood engravings, 2 more in-text engravings. The text, with large margins, is from the first edition of 1671. In this monumental classic work, acccording to Saints Matthiew and Luke, he describes in its four parts the Satan attempts in Christ's life in the desert. Some of the satan's hints at the politics are inspired by Machiavelli; "Milton tries to rewrite the Bible in Homer's style" (Laffont-Bompiani). Galanis 's views, worth of the Apocalypsis, are willingly limited to 4 black wood engravings at the beginning of each song, not to distract from the epic rythm. (D. Athanasopoulos).The last and best book of the Cresset Press (1927-1931). Cloth binding, good condition.
