One of 200 numbered copies signed by translator, artist, and printer. Engravings are based on 15th & 16th century illustrations in Brown Library. This poetic drama, set aboard the Santa Maria, evolves around a series of tempters (the crew-chorus) who "encircle the chief protagonist until he is deprived of all human support and is left alone with God."
