Title
Thomas Merton Icon / signed
Notes
Print; from an original painting by Br. Robert Lentz, Franciscan Friar whose innovative icons are known around the world. He is a member of the Province of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Both Buddhist and Christian symbolism are combined in this icon, to express the way Merton reconciled the two spiritual traditions in his own life. His raised right hand represents "fear not", and his left calls upon the earth to bear witness that he has overcome temptation. The Greek inscription by his head reads "Holy Thomas." He wears the Cistercian cowl. This print has been signed by Br. Robert Lentz on February 15, 2007.

Original Watercolor Painting / signed
Notes
Original watercolor landscape painting by Owen Merton (father of Thomas Merton); initialed and dated by the Owen "9/4/28". This is one of his later works as he died in 1931 of a brain tumor and was incapacitated some time before then. It was received by the most recent owner from Merton Trier, Thomas Merton's first cousin. On the back of the item are faint pencil markings by the original owner (Edmond? Atkinson) who was a friend of Owen and Ruth Merton from New Zealand and attended their wedding. There also appears to be a faint signature of Owen on the back of the item. The artwork was recieved, with deepest gratitude, from John Stanley, who received it from Merton Trier, first cousin of Thomas Merton. John Stanley was a monk at Gethsemani for a short time while Merton was also there, and spent much of his life researching and writing about Merton, his friends and his family.

Notes
Soft cover pamphlet; one of three variant bindings of this item - this one being the variant green binding and noted in the colophon as one of the "last one hundred copies" printed. This pamphlet is Merton's translation from the Latin original of a letter written 'at the Grand Chartreuse in the last days of his Priorate about 1135' to an unknown friend by Guigo I (circa 1083-1136), also known as Guigo the Carthusian, a Carthusian monk and the 5th prior of the Grande Chartreuse monastery, in the Chartreuse Mountains, north of the city of Grenoble, in the commune of Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse (Isere), France. 'There is an inimitable naked power in the austere style of Guigo the Carthusian from which every suggestion of ornament, indeed every useless word is ruthlessly excluded,' says Merton. 'The extraordinary compression of this thought and language convey something of the fervor, the passionate seriousness of this saint and genius, a pure exemplar of the Carthusian spirit and certainly the greatest Carthusian writer.'

Edition
First Magnani paper cloth edition. Short Title: Hagia Sophia
Notes
Cloth (no dust jacket as issued); "When, in 1961, Merton gave the manuscript of "Hagia Sophia" to the Stamperia del Santuccio to be published under its imprint, two editions were planned: the first to be a small issue of 50 copies on Magnani paper with a frontispiece engraving, "Hagia Sophia and the Young Christ", after Victor Hammer's triptych painting, 1953-1956. The text pages for this edition were printed in 1961 but as the engraving was not yet finished, the decision was made to re-set the type and print a variant edition on Whatman paper as Opus XVll, 1962, of Stamperia del Santuccio imprints. Victor Hammer never finished the engraving. Now, a decade after his death, and the death of Thomas Merton, the pages of the text that he had printed and the unfinished engraving, printed here from the brass plate as he left it, are together in rememberance in this small volume. - C. R. H., December, 1978" - this text is taken from one of the front pages of this edition. This book is the last one to bear the imprint of Stamperia del Santuccio. Carolyn Hammer printed the frontispiece and title page for this 1978 edition.
