Flosculi Sententiarum: Printers Flowers Moralised.
Gehenna Press, 1967.
Each page is an interesting graphic and typographic arrangement, printed in some combination of black, red, blue, green, yellow and brown in Centaur type-face designed by Bruce Rogers. The text consists of aphorisms in Latin, English, German, Spanish and French. Unpaginated with 31 printed leaves printed on antique paper watermarked 1905. Short slim 4to, vellum-backed marbled boards. Northampton MA: Gehenna Press, 1967. Spine slightly mottled, still a fine copy.
Scarce. Flosculi Sententiarum (thoughtful flowers) is a tour- de-force of ornamentally conceived books. From a total edition of 250, this is unnumbered, but marked "Printers copy" and bears a presentation from Leonard Baskin on the colophon page.
