Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of human love by comparing it to celestial love. Although it was written in the 16th century, its themes are still relevant and insightful today. The author perceptively offers two viewpoints of love: divine and secular. The first section delves into spiritual love, as divine as that of the angels. The second discusses the more universal and earthly love, born from human nature. This intriguing duality offers a multidimensional perspective on this complex emotion.

In-8 (15,2 cm) 113 c. (15) c. Numerose incisioni nel testo. Ritratto dell'autore in cornice ovale al frontespizio e il motto: Informa sed sydere fallor. Numerosi capilettera figurati, tavola genealogia de Visconti, dei Gonzaga, degli Estensi. Col privilegii del Sommo Pontefice Dell'Illustrissimo Senato Vinitiano del Eccellentissimo S. Duca di Fiorenza: e d'altri Principi per Anni. X Mezza pelle con titolo inciso al dorso. Esemplare rifilato. Collazionato e completo. Simeoni, Gabriele Letterato fiorentino, filosofo, poeta, storico, astrologo e traduttore di latino (Ovidio) e dal francese. Nato nel 1509 e morto forse nel 1576. Comin da Trino. Tipografo originario di Trino, attivo a Venezia. Non se ne conosce il cognome; non ci sono prove che fosse parente dei Giolito. Fu uno dei tipografi più attivi di Venezia alla metà del XVI s. e stampò per un gran numero di editori, le cui marche gli sono state spesso attribuite; nel primo periodo della sua attività ebbe problemi con la giustizia per stampa di testi eterodossi. Morì dopo il 1573 o in quello stesso anno, senza lasciare eredi; secondo Veneziani la sua bottega e il suo materiale tipografico vennero rilevati da Giacomo Vidali. 16mo secolo.

8vo, ff. [4], 110, [18]; italic letter, printed marginalia, portrait vignette of Simeoni to title-page within an oval frame decorated with the heads of putti, woodcut historiated initials throughout, 3 full-page woodcut diagrams; occasional dampstaining and finger-soiling, title-page soiled with chips to corners; late nineteenth-century blue-grey marbled boards, paper title-piece adhered to spine, 'Petrarchia' (sic) lettered to lower edge in ink; light wear to joints.Scarce first edition of Gabriele Simeoni's (15091575) political history of the most powerful city-states of sixteenth-century Italy Venice, Milan, Mantua, and Ferrara with full-page genealogical diagrams of the Visconti, Gonzaga, and d'Este families.Simeoni's highly detailed account, which traces the history of each city from its origin to 1545, focuses in particular on questions of succession and is supplemented by excerpts from letters, epitaphs, and speeches. Sent to France in 1528 as an attaché to the Pope's envoy, Simeoni travelled to various Italian courts upon his return to Italy, simultaneously pursing his interests as a poet, translator, astrologer, and writer of emblem books.The history of Florence, Simeoni's birthplace, is notably absent from the Comentarii, perhaps due to difficulties in obtaining patronage: he left Florence for Venice in 1546 having tried unsuccessfully to obtain the sum of one hundred ducats needed for the publication of the work from Cardinal Ercole Gonzaga and Duke Cosimo I de' Medici. Three of the five books address the history of Venice, in recognition of funds eventually supplied by Doge Francesco Donato, to whom the book is dedicated.Rare outside of Italy.
