Porphyry / Finlay, Ian Hamilton; Costley, Ron., 1977

 Item
Identifier: CC-11866-12087
Scope and Contents The print by Ron Costley illustrates the poem Porphyry, "On Abstinence From Animal Food," which has been translated by Thomas Taylor. This print commemorates the philosophy of Porphyry 233-304 whose original name was Malchus who was a Greek Neo-Platonist philosopher, born in Syria; disciple and biographer of Plotinus. He was a proponent of vegetarianism, e.g., "But to deliver animals to be slaughtered and cooked, and thus be filled with murder, not for the sake of nutriment and satisfying the wants of nature, but making pleasure and gluttony the end of such conduct, is transcendently iniquitous and dire. He who abstains from anything animate ... will be much more careful not to injure those of his own species. For he who loves the genus will not hate any species of animals. And is it not absurd, since we see that many of our own species live from sense alone, but do not possess intellect and reason; and since we also see that many of them surpass the most terrible of wild beasts...

Identifier: CC-54602-990050

This issue includes Finch's Helicopter poem and Hammer Lieder. This publication is edited by Antonio Claudio Carvalho. Chris McCabe internet: "Under his unit4art imprint Antonio Claudio Carvalho has produced a first series of poetry broadsheets inspired by Hansjorg Mayer's futura series from the 1960s. When he asked me to be involved it was one of those rare moments when you find yourself being written into the impossible dream history that you knew you'd missed and would only ever be a voyeur of. These are as close to remaking the original seminal publications as possible." -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
