Description

"A set of 5 A6 letterpress (sans serif typeface) cards, comprising 1 original haiku & 4 'found text' cards within a slip cover containing a quote from the 'Brethren of Purity' (a 10th century CE secret society of philosophers based in Iraq. The structure of this mysterious organization, and the identities of its members, has never been revealed). The cards are contained within an envelope showing a 'Map of Terrestrial Paradise' from the 16th Century CE. The cards relate to the history of Baghdad and the street of booksellers"--The Book Arts at the Centre for Fine Print Research, UK website (viewed June 23, 2015).
