PILIANSKI Adam - Apocalypsis. This is a strange case of the hidden mysteries of the Lord | which John the saint, when he was exiled by the confession of the holy faith to the isle of kthory called Palmos | by visions and by anyols were accountably announced. [From the printing house of Maciej Wirzbięta. Year of the Lord 1565 [Paris 1876.] S. [470]. Height: 24.8 cm. Printed on handmade paper in the technique of the so-called homeographic redrawing from the first printing.

Back divided into 5 fields, some of them embossed and gilded ornaments, in one of the fields a gilded titlepage of the work. Trimmed only the upper part of the pages.
Condition +good. Some very minor rubbing of the binding, otherwise a very nice piece. Some pieces of the cards uncut. Small loss of margin of one page. Minor folds of some pages.

The work included in the posthumous catalog of works published by Adam Piliński [Adam Piliński et ses travaux : gravures, dessins, lithographies et reproductions en fac-similé, Paris 1890, pp. 25-26].

Adam Józef Piliński (1810-1887) - Polish graphic artist, paleographer, lithographer, engraver, reconstructor of old prints, emigration activist in France.
Inventor of the technique of homeography, involving the reproduction of documents and books.
Andrzej Ryszkiewicz writes more about this reproduction technique in his biography of Piliński in PSB:
"He used his own technique (procede Piliński, homeography), which consisted of incredibly precise copying of all graphic signs with pencil on vegetable tracing paper, then transferring them to lithographic stone and reflecting them with specially selected paints on old papers. He reached such perfection in this that his facsimiles are almost indistinguishable from the originals."
