Information
The CODEX Foundation is proud to collaborate with The Hand Bookbinders of California to offer this special edition of The Fragments of Parmenides.
The complete fragments of Parmenides of Elea in the original Greek, varying in length from only a few words to 66 hexameters, were composed 2,500 years ago in southern Italy (Magna Graeca). The Greek text was handset in Dan Carr’s Parmenides Greek at the press by Richard Seibert, Robert Bringhurst, and Peter Koch. An English translation by Robert Bringhurst was set in Monotype Dante at the Golgonooza Letter Foundry; the cover display text, printed in red and black, was set in Christopher Stinehour’s Diogenes Greek. The Afterword by Bringhurst is set in Bringhurst’s custom digital Dante, New Hellenic Greek, and Lazurski Cyrillic, and printed from polymer plates. Included in the book are five wood engravings by Richard Wagener, hand-printed in vibrant red, fiery orange, and velvety black on Zerkall mill paper.
