HH3v. 18th-century English calf, red morocco lettering piece on spine, marbled edges (worn and rubbed, joints weakened). On the front pastedown 18th-century bookplate and ownership entry ?MClive at Bromfield 1773? An old hand has numbered all the octaves in each book of the poem. First and last page slightly soiled, margins cut short, all in all a good copy.Rare first edition of this continuation of Ariosto's Furioso written in an Italian interspersed with dialectisms, mostly from the Umbrian region. The work opens with two dedications to Francesco Gonzaga, the first by the author, the second by Pietro Aretino, both dated from Venice, 1 April 1543.The Continuatione di Orlando Furioso con la morte di Ruggiero, by the Umbrian poet Sigismondo Paolucci Filogenio, is the last poem in ottava rima printed by Niccolò Zoppino and is divided into 63 books (or cantos) filled with encomiastic verses in honour of the Gonzaga family. At the time of its publication, the work aroused various criticisms, so much so that Girolamo Ruscelli decided to write an apology (Apologia di M. Hieronimo Ruscelli contra i biasmatori della Continovatione d'Orlando Furioso del Filogenio, Venice, Zoppino, 1543).The Apologia, addressed to the members of the Accademia dello Sdegno, an academy founded by Ruscelli himself in 1541 and to which Paolocci also belonged, is significant because it was published many years before the querelle that would lead to the famous defences of the Furioso by authors such as Fornari, Pigna, Giraldi Cinzio, Toscanella and others, would erupt. According to Ruscelli, Zoppino had decided to publish the second dedication sent to him by Aretino, a great friend of Paolucci's, to make up for having published the poem without the author's consent. In fact, Paolucci is said to have accused Ruscelli of sending the poem to print without his permission and, worse still, without his name. The relationship between Ruscelli and Paolucci, however, is unclear. On the one hand, Paolucci regretted that the book was published before it could be revised and approved by the Accademia dello Sdegno, on the other Ruscelli claimed to have read the manuscript of the unpublished poem, in Rome in 1539, when Paolucci had reached canto 58 (cf. F. Lucioli, Girolamo Ruscelli e l'Apologia della Continuatione di Orlando Furioso di Sigismondo Paolucci Filogenio, in: ?La letteratura degli Italiani. 1 Centri e periferie, Atti del XIII Congresso nazionale dell'Associazione degli Italianisti Italiani, Pugnochiuso, 16-19 settembre 2009?, D. Cofano & S. Valerio, eds., Foggia, 2011).?L'autore più utile per comprendere questo intreccio di tensioni all'originalità e autorepressione edipica è senz'altro Sigismondo Paoluccio. In lui l'originalità è vissuta con un vero senso di colpa, che lo costringe a iper-giustificare ogni scelta narrativa, a motivarla e renderla accettabile, con esiti di involontaria comicità. Si va dalla semplice giustificazione dell'ellissi [?] all'elogio affettuoso [?] Nonostante, come è ovvio in un poema di sessantatré canti, nella Continuazione ci sia molto di nuovo rispetto al Furioso, sorprende anche di vedere come Paoluccio continui ancora a girare ossessivamente intorno ai temi e personaggi della sua fonte, sin nei minimi particolari [?] Del resto, come sappiamo già dall'Apologia di Ruscelli, questa contraddizione in Paoluccio assume una forma ancora più estrema, e originale, ossia l'invenzione di una nuova fonte, alternativa al Turpino ariostesco. Ariosto diventa qui davvero il Turpino del suo continuatore, il quale, invece di scegliere la via, ariostesca, di dissacrare la sua fonte, preferisce quella di inventarne un'altra. Proprio la costante preoccupazione di Paoluccio a questo riguardo indica la difficoltà in cui si invischia quanto più cerca di liberarsi del peso del suo predecessore [?] Rico. Book.

Condition: Good. THE FIRST TREATISE ON DOMESTIC ECONOMY AND AGRICOLTURE WRITTEN BY A TUSCAN AUTHOR4to (cm 203x135). [80], 561, [3] pp. Collation: a-k4 A-Zzz4 Aaaa6. The last leaf is a blank. Printer's device on title page and on l. Aaaa5v. Colophon on l. Aaaa5v. Woodcut historiated initials. Slightly later stiff vellum, inked title on spine (minor restoration to spine, slightly soiled). On title page ownership entry ?ex codicibus Gabrielis Ritii [. . .] et equitis aureati? Some occasional staining and foxing, a few tiny round wormholes to the last fifty leaves, all in all a good, genuine copy.Rare first edition, dedicated to Giulio Pallavicini, of this comprehensive treatise on domestic economy, education of children and agriculture: the first by a Tuscan author.In the preface, Tommasi gives a brief history of the literature on household economy, lamenting the scarcity of texts devoted to the subject: Besides Aristotle, Xenophon and St Thomas, he surprisingly quotes Leon Battista Alberti's then unpublished treatise Della Famiglia (cf. D. Frigo, Il padre di famiglia. Governo della casa e governo civile nella tradizione dell' ?economica? tra Cinque e Seicento, Rome, 1985, p. 17; see also pp. 40-41 and 180-181)The first part of the work deals mainly with family management: marriage, role of women, choice of servants, household government, etc. Christian education is achieved, according to the author who follows the precepts of the Council of Trent, mainly through love for children. Religious instruction, imparted by the father following the different stages of the child's growth (with more authority in the childhood years and then moving to greater depth toward adolescence), must be accompanied by moral instruction, for which the father figure provides the example, and by intellectual instruction, to which, according to Tommasi, all children are entitled, whether rich or poor (cf. G. Mu?ller, Bildung und Erziehung im Humanismus der italienischen Renaissance, Wiesbaden, 1969, pp. 89-91).The second part is a complete treatise on agriculture and farming. It discusses the cultivation of vegetables, animal husbandry, tree care (including vines, olive and palm trees), beekeeping, as well as the preparation of numerous products such as cheese, olive oil, vinegar, dried figs, wine, etc.The author, a native of Colle Val d'Elsa in Tuscany, studied medicine in Naples, where he began practicing his profession. He was later in Montepulciano, Acquapendente, Rieti, Cortona and Rome at the hospital of Santo Spirito. He authored several medical treatises, including one on plague, and a poem in praise of the women of his hometown (cf. M. Berengo, Un agronomo toscano del Cinquecento: Francesco Tommasi da Colle Val d'Elsa, in: ?Studi di storia medievale e moderna per Ernesto Sestan?, Florence, 1980, II, pp. 495-518).BMSTC Italian, p. 675; Edit 16, CNCE28918; Gamba, 1700; G.

Abraham Goos (1590 c. 1643) was a Dutch cartographer, publisher, and engraver. He made globes, maps of North America, a comprehensive map of European coastlines, and the first printed Hebrew language map of The Holy Land. His first teacher was Jodocus Hondius (15631612), a renowned map-maker, whose son-in-law was Johannes Janssonius. After Hondius died, his son-in-law Jan Janssonius took over Hondius's business and continued the partnership with Goos. One of Hondius' specialties was the manufacture of globes, and Goos and Janssonius continued this, regularly modifying them as more geographical information became available. In 1616 he published Nieuw Nederlandtsch Caertboeck, an atlas of the Seventeen Provinces in 23 maps, and one of the first atlases of the Netherlands; Johannes Janssonius (1588-1664) was a renowned geographer and publisher of the seventeenth century, when the Dutch dominated map publishing in Europe.

Rome : Francesco Zannetti, 1585. Octavo, early full vellum, spine with raised bands, ruled and lettered in gilt; pp. 118; title with woodcut Jesuit device; stamp from the Casa Professa to title leaf a fine copy. A slightly expanded edition of the Lettera annale, the annual report from Japan on missionary progress during the year 1581. Authored by Jesuit Father Gaspar Coelho, the report itself (pp. 1-103) contains valuable information on traditional Japanese customs and institutions, including an account of a visit to the Imperial court. The annual report was printed in several editions in Milan (earliest edition?), Rome, Venice and elsewhere, in Italian, Latin, German and French. However, the present 118-page Rome edition includes an extra report by Alessandro Valignano: 'This is almost the same as the Lettera annale, but with a very slightly different title-page. It contains Gaspar Coelho's Annual Letter of 1581, written in Nagasaki ?? and dated Feb. 13 [15], 1582 (pp. 1-103). This is bound together with A. Valignano's report on the martydom of five Jesuits in India, the same as the above mentioned book (see the Lettera annale).' (Laures Kirishitan Bunko Database). Cordier, Japonica, 78; Streit 1636.

FAMOUS MAP OF THE DUCHY OF BRABANT "Brabantia Ducatus." Copper engraving by Abraham Goos, published in Amsterdam by Claes Jansz. Visscher in 1622. 2nd state (of 11). Coloured by a later hand. Size 46 × 56.5 cm. The Duchy of Brabant was at the time an extensive territory, stretching far beyond the borders of present-day Belgium and the Netherlands. Much of it was then sparsely populatedlands where wars were fought and territories were gained or lost. The map was published shortly after the Twelve Years' Truce. Visscher incorporated unfolding news events, and the map appeared, repeatedly updated, in no fewer than eleven different states. This particular example shows the punitive expedition led by Prince Frederik Hendrik from Breda to Rustenburg near Leuven between 15 and 22 May 1622, and the devastation of enemy territory, symbolized by countless plumes of smoke rising from burning villages between Leuven and Brussels. In Brabant, the Eighty Years' War was primarily a conflict between Catholics and Protestants. It was a war of fortressescities were captured and recaptured, and borders shifted constantly. Most of Brabant's inhabitants remained loyal to the Spanish king; they did not regard the army of the Prince of Orange as liberators, but as occupiers. After eighty years of warfare, the Peace of Münster was finally signed in 1648. The duchy was divided in two: southern Brabant remained under Spanish rule, while the northern part became part of the Dutch Republic. Above and below the map image are city views of Leuven, Brussels, Antwerp, 's-Hertogenbosch, Tienen, Bergen op Zoom, Lier, Helmond, Breda, and Mechelen. In the upper corners are portraits of Archduke Albrecht VII of Austria and his wife Isabella of Spain, who jointly ruled the Habsburg Netherlands from 1598 to 1621. To the left and right of the map appear an aristocratic couple, a merchant and his wife, a farmer and his wife, and a man and woman dressed in the costume of Mechelen. In the lower left corner is the coat of arms of the Margraviate of Antwerp; in the lower right, that of Mechelen. Price: Euro 2.150,- (incl. frame).
