Jan Sobota
Villon I
(1992) Published by Ruda Klinkovsky. Wood cuts by Karel Bvolinsky. Full leather French binding covered in black and red Nigerian goatskin inlays. The design depicts ravens ain flight. This motif evokes a scene described in “Ballad of the Hanged Man,” a poem included among this edition’s selection. The raven’s wings were designed as flames in order to symbolize the intolerance of the age. Destruction by fire was frequently the fate of heretics and the heretical books they authored.
