The Villa ?Cathaio', located in Battaglia Terme on the road between Padua and Ferrara, was built between 1570 and 1573 by the architect Andrea della Valle at the behest of its owner, Pio Enea I degli Obizzi (1525-1588), and became a place of meeting and cultural exchange for scholars until the eighteenth century. In the present work, dedicated to Obizzi himself and written in the form of a dialogue, the author explains the construction of the villa and describes its architecture and garden, but above all  he gives a detailed description of the art collections that were kept there and are now moslty preserved in Vienna.Betussi met the Obizzi family, probably to gather information for his work on the most illustrious Italian families, just when the Marquis Pio Obizzi had completed the construction of his villa Il Cataio and was about to have its walls painted with frescoes celebrating the glory and success of his family. Pio Obizzi entrusted the work to Betussi, who reconstructed the history of the entire family and offered artistic subjects for painting, and to the Venetian painter Giambattista Zelotti, a pupil of Titian (C. Mutini, Betussi, Giuseppe, in: ?Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani?, vol. 9, Rome, 1967, s.v.).?È tuttavia nel Ragionamento sopra il Cathaio che si scopre la  vocazione enciclopedica del Betussi e si riversano, con forti contaminazioni dei generi dell'ecfrasi (i ritratti all'antica, le ?gesta dipinte?, l'impresa), i materiali verbali e iconici dell'allegoria, la tradizione degli exempla virtutis e le questioni del  dibattito estetico, articolato in chiave interdisciplinare. Il Ragionamento è la descrizione in forma di dialogo lucianeo del programma storico-genealogico in quaranta quadri, commissionato al Betussi per la villa del Catajo (la ?fabrica regia') dal signore padovano Pio Enea Obizzi, illustre uomo  d'arme appartenente ad una delle famiglie di Terraferma fedeli alla Serenissima,  che dalla metà del Cinquecento si insediano nei territori della ?Santa Agricoltura'. Gli a?reschi, eseguiti da Giovan Battista Zelotti, allievo veronese di Tiziano, rappresentano le forme di governo e le vicende delle maggiori famiglie italiane imparentate con gli Obizzi [. . .] Nel Ragionamento è lo stesso Betussi a parlare di pittura come ?favola' ancora nell'accezione boccacciana. Troviamo espressioni come ?si come sotto coperta di ammaestramento, favoleggiarono gli antichi', ?et si come narrano, sotto velame, le favole'. La cultura fabulosa del Boccaccio è impiegata a elogio della nobiltà veneta. Tra le allegorie ci sono per esempio il Tempo e la Verità, la Fama, legati alle vicende degli uomini illustri. Quest'ultima - avvisa Betussi citando da Boccaccio - non è il mostro falso e bugiardo descritto da Virgilio (poco consono al luogo) ma proprio la chiara fama che si acquista operando virtuosamente [. . .] Se a villa Obizzi la pittura di storia si o?re universalmente al piacere dell'occhio ra?gurando eventi della storia romana, ma anche guerre e vittorie moderne della cristianità, nasconde pure sotto il velo signi?cati accessibili solo ad un pubblico erudito (e cristiano) che conferiscono alla narrazione per immagini il valore del  programma enciclopedico [. . .] Il ciclo di affreschi riunisce pertanto - com'è tipico in numerose residenze nobiliari - il sapere filosofico-morale delle allegorie mitologiche e delle virtù dianoetiche dei governi, Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 4to (240 x 173 mm), contemporary vellum with manuscript title on spine, rebacked (inner boards and flyleaves renewed), a wide, clean copy (paper a bit yellowish). Woodcut device on title, ff. 4 nn., CLXXXIIII (but 182), 2 nn. First edition. The 'Cathaio' villa, once located on the road between Padua and Ferrara, was built between 1570 and 1573 by architect Andrea della Valle at the behest of its owner, Pio Enea I Obizzi and became a place where scholars could meet and exchange cultural contents until the eighteenth century. In this work, composed in the form of lively dialogue, the author explains the building of the villa and describes its architecture and the garden, but mostly - of particular relevance for the history of art - gives a detailed description of the art collections which were preserved there.

Seconda edizione (la prima è del 1545) di questa traduzione italiana di "De casibus virorum illustrium", tradotta da Giuseppe Betussi da Bassano e dedicata al conte Collaltino di Collalto, uomo d'armi e letterato stimato, di cui il Betussi fu segretario. Riguardo all'opera, nel DBI Treccani, alla voce "BOCCACCIO, Giovanni", si legge quanto segue: "In nove libri l'autore vi raccoglie, con evidente intento morale, biografie di personaggi illustri, da Adamo ai suoi contemporanei, che, dopo esser stati singolarmente favoriti dalla fortuna, furono alla fine precipitati per la loro follia e il loro orgoglio in un abisso di miseria. L'impianto erudito-moralistico dell'opera ne giustifica la straordinaria fortuna negli ambienti umanistici e paraumanistici europei durante tutto il Rinascimento e fino alle soglie del XVIII secolo, fortuna attestata dalle numerose edizioni e dalle versioni italiane, francesi, inglesi, spagnole, tedesche. Le notizie storiche sono attinte a cronache e repertori medievali, da Paolo Diacono a Paolino Minorita, e trovano un preciso riscontro negli abbondanti materiali raccolti in alcune sezioni del cosiddetto Zibaldone autografo magliabechiano. Per il lettore moderno sono di maggiore interesse i capitoli dedicati a fatti e persone degli ultimi tempi, come la descrizione della persecuzione dei Templari, il ricordo di Carlo I d'Angiò, la tragica fine di Filippa di Catania favorita della regina Giovanna, il quadro dell'esecrata tirannide del duca d'Atene: sono pagine in cui sopravvive, e si fa strada faticosamente fra i pesanti paludamenti di una pur sincera eloquenza moralistica, almeno un'ombra dell'antico gusto narrativo e aneddotico."

Contemporary limp vellum, ms. title to spine; (spine darkened, head cap chipped with loss, text block loose in binding; intermittent browning, title with old owners' signatures cancelled, minor marginal worming, added half-title with ink oxidation). The whimsical added title complements this monumental Italian humanist work; a defense of poetry and a synthesis of ancient mythological sources, which justified the study of pagan literature within a Christian context. Betussi's Italian translation of Boccaccio's medieval work on progeny in classical times, a veritable mythological encyclopedia that aimed to solve questions about lines of succession. Boccaccio's Genealogia sought to preserve the past from oblivion by creating an almanac of inter-related families, including the competing noble houses, in order to organize lines of descent. With the Genealogia, Boccaccio aimed to "solve" contradictory accounts of hereditary matters by assuming the existence of pagan gods and organizing their progeny - Jupiter I and Jupiter II, for instance. Perhaps most contentious was Boccaccio's identification of Demogorgon as the ultimate progenitor of all pagan divinities (description starting on page 5), who was also associated with Satan's netherworld conspirators. The Genealogia reputedly had been copied and transmitted before its completion, apparently without the consent of Boccaccio. The earliest Latin editions all follow the first of 1472. This is a later edition of Giuseppe Betussi's Italian translation of the Genealogia; Betussi's first was printed in Venice by Comino da Trino di Monferrato in 1547. Nearly a dozen subsequent editions follow this date, well into the seventeenth century. Betussi was a prominent man of letters in Padua's Accademia and was at the avant-garde of those promoting the substitution of Italian for Latin as the language of scholarly literature. To his edition, Betussi added a ten-page biography of Boccaccio and alphabetical indices corresponding to page numbers, not book or chapter. The Genealogia became a standard reference works for readers who wished to disentangle the complexities of Greco-Roman mythology. The work was enormous in scope, covering approximately 950 individuals, groups, and beasts, both named and unnamed, in fifteen books and 723 chapters with over a thousand citations from Greek, Roman, medieval and Trecento authors. Near the end of the sixteenth century, the Genealogia, while mostly out of the public eye, still provided source material for numerous authors including Edmund Spenser and his work on Christianized paganism. This edition rare, OCLC lists one other in Toulouse.
