Wood, Anthony à.
Historia et Antiquitates Universitatis Oxoniensis.
Oxford: Sheldonian Theatre, 1674. 2 vols in 1, large thick folio, with an engraved frontispiece, title vignette, 1 double-page map, 2 illustrations, 23 initials, 23 head-pieces, 9 large woodcut initials by George Edwards. Sumptuously bound by the “Spaniel binder” in English red morocco, the covers with elaborate panelled overall decoration built up from numerous small tools, black morocco onlays, rebacked by Middleton retaining the original backstrip and label. A large- and thick-paper copy magnificently bound. De luxe edition on large (and thick) paper especially used for this version. This magnificent example of Oxford printing was paid for by the great Dr. Fell of Christ Church, who also arranged for the translation into Latin of the text. The binding is suitably rich for such a work, and must be one of the largest “Spaniel” bindings in existence. It is unusual in that the figure of the spaniel is present 16 times on the covers in dotted outline whereas all other recorded examples have the outline solid.

Über uns
John Windle has been dealing in rare books, manuscripts, and book-related prints and
paintings since 1967. After training with Bernard Quaritch Ltd. in London and John Howell-
Books in San Francisco, he opened for business in San Francisco in 1974. John is a member of
the Grolier Club, the Roxburghe Club of San Francisco, the Caxton Club, the Book Club of
California, the Colophon Club, the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America), the

After a distinguished corporate career in human resources with Bank of America, Levi Strauss,
and lastly as senior vice-president with Charles Schwab, Chris Loker retired to join John in the
book business and runs her own children's book shop in the same building as John's shop. She
also serves on the boards of the Bring Me A Book Foundation, a nonprofit devoted to
children's literacy, and The World Federation of Right to Die Societies, a nonprofit global
organization of 38 right to die organisations from 23 countries. She is a member of the

specialities include children's books, calligraphy and illumination, poetry, and fine bindings.
John Windle issues one or two printed catalogues a year, one devoted to specialised subjects
depending on current inventory, and the other a general catalogue of rare books and
manuscripts. These catalogues will be sent upon request. Appraisals are also undertaken for
Institutions and private collectors, and bids are accepted for auctions worldwide on a standard
commission basis.
