Edition Notes

Added t.p. in Hebrew.

English and Hebrew alphabets begin from the front and back of the book, with lists of the plants depicted and the colophon placed in the middle.

"Chris Stern of Stern & Faye Printers spent innumerable hours printing the first half of this volume ... until he fell ill and abruptly passed away in November 2006. We ... produce this book in his memory ... Art Larson of Horton Tank Graphics in Hadley, Massachusetts ... completed the final half. Alpha Botanica is printed on handmade Velke Losiny Moravia paper, some of which is from twenty year-old stock. The text is set in Dante italic. Forty-eight botanical characters based on Elizabeth Roman and Harel capitals, title pages and colophon blocks were drawn and engraved by Sarah Horowitz. Claudia Cohen bound and boxed the edition by hand in full leather with the assistance of Julia Weese-Young. The edition numbers forty-five of which twelve are hand-colored. Ten artist proofs are withheld for the collaborators"--Colophon.

Issued in a green cloth-covered clamshell case with black leather spine label.
