Il consacre toute son énergie, jusqu'à sa mort à l'âge avancé de 76 ans, à la rédaction de son célèbre dictionnaire. Pour ce faire il rassemble un vaste lexique, développe les définitions et adopte le plan alphabétique déjà popularisé par le Catholicon qui, depuis plusieurs siècles, constituait la référence du genre. Décédé en 1511, CALEPINO ne verra pas son ?uvre continuer à s'étoffer. Les éditions se succéderont à un rythme très soutenu, au point qu'on en dénombrera près de 200 au total, toutes versions confondues. Le dictionnaire passe à cinq langues en 1545, à sept en 1551 puis à dix en 1588. Plusieurs écrivains et philologues continuent à réviser et amender l'ouvrage, et ce jusqu'au XVIIIe siècle. La version en sept langages de 1718, rédigée par Jacopo FACCIOLATI, c'est le cas pour notre exemplaire à la date de 1778, rencontrera en son temps un très vif succès. Ex-libris.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Antique 1663 complete 2 volume folio set. The books are overall in good condition with some signs of wear and age. The leather covers have some scuffing and wear with some corner wear and edge wear. There are small sections of cracking towards the top of the 2nd volume's outer leather joints and some cracking to the interior hinges of both volumes; however, the bindings of the books are still good and sound. Both volumes have a nice engraved title page and the first volume also has an additional half title. There are some crease lines/ wrinkles to the 2nd volume's title page. A couple of the pastedowns have some small handwritten numbers to the top margin in fountain pen. The interiors are toned from age but are fairly clean with some scattered light foxing, soiling, and grubbiness. A few pages have some worming. Most of the worming is pretty minor; there are just about 10 leaves or so in the "S" section where it is a bit heavier. Page 545/546 in the 1st volume has a fair amount of chipping to the bottom margin, however no text is affected. Along with that there is likely the very occasional page with some kind of other minor imperfection such as a small tear or chip, mild stain, minor marking, creased page corner, etc. The books are large volumes which measure approximately 15 3/8 inches by 9 1/2 inches. The text is collated and complete. There are some printing errors in a few of the page numbers; however, the content is correct. Volume 1 is 959 pages and volume 2 is 855. ************This is an oversize 2 volume set which will require additional shipping charges if being shipped outside of the United States or for domestic expedited shipping************.

Modern bookplate to front pastedown, early ex-libris of D.(?) Massel to first t-p. Finely bound, very good copy of the first edition of this scarce, abridged version, in no less than nine languages, of the most influential early modern polyglot dictionary. This is variant A, with the imprint 'in Bibliopolo' (Jones, 'German Lexicography', 261). Ambrogio Calepino (1440-1510) was an Italian lexicographer renowned for his Latin dictionary of 1502; known as 'il Calepino', it was reprinted dozens of times in the course of the C16. Despite the changed 'intellectual climate' beginning from the second half of the C16, 'with vernacular languages throughout Europe conspiring to defeat the humanists' project and make classical Latin an irredeemably foreign language to all, Calepino's dictionary became the main translation dictionary in use' (Moss, 'Renaissance Truth', 24), especially thanks to the subsequent enlargements by sundry European scholars, which turned it into a polyglot dictionary featuring up to 13 languages.3 This 1654 Leiden edition included additions by Jean Passerat (1534-1602), the successor of Ramus to the professorship of Latin at the Collège de France, and was edited by Cornelis Schrevel (1608-64), professor at Leiden and author of a Latin-Greek lexicon. Extremely successful thanks to its portable format, it features definitions in Latin, Greek, Hebrew, French, Italian, German, Spanish, English and Flemish. The preface remarks indeed that 'the weight of the original work, and the crowding of the numerous examples, had become very confusing, and made reading tedious'. In layout, format and content, Schrevel's edition made it a more useable instrument for private study. A solid reference work in a handsome binding.

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 4to (220 x 148mm). 381pp., (mispaginated as common, 2C misbound). Title within woodcut interlace border. Two woodcut initials for dedication and letter 'A' with scrolling vinework. Double columns of Italic type. Later blue wrappers, ms. title to spine, cancelled period inscription on front wrap; (title browned and brittle at upper hinge and margin, lightly dampstained throughout mostly at front and rear, edges lightly worn.) Early ownership inscription to title. 1522 edition of Calepinus' Latin dictionary, first appearing in Reggio in 1502, nine years before his death. The first edition was faulty in its deficiency of good words and abundance of unauthorized ones, in its errors of citations and confused meanings. It was reprinted many times during the 16th century; the Aldine press alone produced no fewer than 18 editions from 1542 to 1592. Later editions were considerably enlarged and by the mid 1580s the Latin original had added equivalents in eleven other languages. Calepinus, an Italian monk and philologist, devoted himself to letters and his name became almost synonymous with Latin lexicons during this 16th century. His polyglot dictionary was a helpful source for Latin phrases and figures of speech in philosophy and theology. Calepinus' dictionary remains one of the most popular humanist dictionaries of the period; tracing words back to their Greek and Latin roots as well as noting the specific passages in the primary source material. This work, as noted in the title, incorporated the contents of the Cornucopia of Nicholas Perotti (1458). Notably, Calepinus includes proper names in his descriptions and details the histories and legends associated with them. Calepinus' dictionary was also more orthodox than its predecessors in its alphabetical arrangement and additions of more quotations from Christian works. It is noteworthy that the 1752 edition was used in the seminary of Patavia and was intended for theological studies. Well-preserved, important dictionary, chock-full of encyclopedic material for the Renaissance student.
