Add to basket4to, pp.[xvi], 115, [1]; engraved printer's device to title, woodcut and factotum initials, woodcut head- and tailpieces, woodcut arms to colophon; a very good copy; bound in contemporary patterned paper over carta rustica, manuscript lettering to spine, edges speckled red and blue; somewhat rubbed and faded with some wear at extremities; nineteenth-century acquisition note to rear pastedown.A collection of popular verse fables by the sixteenth-century scholar Gabriele Faerno of Cremona (c.15101561), in an eighteenth-century patterned paper binding. Faerno's collection of one hundred Neo-Latin fables derived from classical authors was first printed posthumously in 1563. The text for this edition was prepared by the Paduan professor Giovanni Antonio Volpi, reusing earlier paratexts, several of which were addressed to Cardinal Carlo Borromeo, a friend of Faerno's. As well as the fables, some of Faerno's other poetry is included in this edition, starting with a poem on the 'Germanic sect' of Lutherans, and containing epitaphs on Castruccio Castracani, Scanderbeg and Francesco Sforza.The block-printed paper comprises a pattern of lozenges in red, yellow, and blue, together giving the impression of cubes, with a floral motif on one side. For the same blocks printed in only two colours, see Kopylov, Italiens 5. Language: Latin.…

Cartonato bodoniano un poco ondulato con rinforzo al dorso con carta marmorizzata. Ottimo esemplare interno con barbe. Brooks, 520, ricorda che l'edizione fu ristampata nel 1796, però col medesimo millesimo sul frontespizio, nè aggiunge altro che possa identificarla. Le due edizioni sono quasi identiche; la seconda si differenzia per una maggior inchiostratura, che la rende meno elegante, ma soprattutto per i trattini finali (per esempio alle pagine 111,138,145,147, etc.) che sono lineari, mentre nella prima sono intozzati al centro, con miglior effetto tipografico. Altra differenza che si evince dagli esemplari precedenti, potrebbe essere che la prima ha la carta bianca al fine e la seconda no; ma ciò è dubbio, perchè il Brooks non la segnala; mentre lo fa il De Lama sbagliando il numero delle carte. Il nostro esemplare porta i trattini alle pagine suddette, ma porta anche la carta bianca in fine, quindi diventa problematico stabilire se questo esemplare sia della prima o della seconda edizione.

Vélin ivoire, titre à l'encre au dos, tranches rouges (reliure de l'époque). Praz, p. 332 : "Not an emblem-book proper, but a work to be classified in the cognate genre of apologues. Included however, in this edition as well as in later ones, in some catalogues of emblems" ; Cohen-De Ricci, 371.Très beau livre de fables qui se rattache aux recueils d'emblèmes.Le poète néo-latin Gabriele Faerno (Cremona, vers 1510-1561), qui eut comme protecteur le cardinal Giovanni Angelo Medici di Marignano - pape entre 1559 et 1565 sous le nom de Pie IV -, composa ces fables, réputées pour leur élégance, alors que celles de Phèdre n'avaient pas encore été découvertes. La première édition parut après la mort de Faerno, en 1564.Un siècle plus tard, Charles Perrault en donna une traduction française, publiée en 1699. Cette édition très soignée présente le texte original suivi de la version de Perrault. Elle est illustrée de 101 figures gravées sur cuivre, dont un frontispice signé Claude Du Bosc montrant Ésope contrefait au milieu des animaux, et 100 vignettes en tête non signées (9 x 11 cm).Comme le souligne Mario Praz, cette suite s'apparente au genre emblématique dont elle possède le caractère énigmatique et l'élégance austère, adoucie par le burin gracieux d'un artiste anonyme du XVIIIe siècle. Aux scènes charmantes peignant la nature et la vie des animaux se mêlent quelques compositions mythologiques de rigueur, ou encore des catastrophes naturelles, vite occultées par de paisibles tableaux de genre. Quelques jolies figures sont consacrées à la chasse. Les pièces liminaires comprennent d'autres poèmes néo-latins de Faerno, ainsi que des préfaces et épîtres consacrées au fabuliste de Crémone.Très bel exemplaire, sobrement relié ; étiquette de rangement avec cote manuscrite au bas du dos.La première garde porte l'ex-libris manuscrit du baron Joseph Maria Christoph von Lassberg (1770-1855), antiquaire, historien de la littérature et collectionneur allemand qui possédait, dans son château de Meersburg sur le lac de Constance, une bibliothèque de 12.000 livres rares et 273 manuscrits précieux, dont le célèbre codex du Nibelungenlied connu sous le nom de manuscrit Hohenems ou manuscrit C.

Add to basketCondition: Very good. First Edition. First edition published in France of this influential Latin collection of Aesopian-fables - almost certainly the edition used by fairy tale-popularizer Charles Perrault for his French translation of 1699. Faerno's Neo-Latin fables were first published in 1563 as FABULAE CENTUM and soon became the most successful original work in the Aesopian tradition until La Fontaine; like La Fontaine, Faerno adapted classical sources like Aesop as well as writing his own fables. In fact, this edition's name refers to another important fabulist and celebrated Latin translator of Aesop, Phaedrus, whose work was rediscovered in the Renaissance; Faerno's fables were considered so good that many thought he cribbed them from Phaedrus - a charge against which Perrault defended him in his French translation of 1699. This edition was published the same year as Perrault's book of fairy tales, HISTOIRES OU CONTES DU TEMPS PASSÉ (1697). Perrault appears to have begun his translation of Faerno around the same time, suggesting that Perrault saw his fairy-tale work as linked to the fabulist tradition going back to Aesop. This edition, the first printed in France (according to the anonymous preface), was meant especially for the education of children, rearranging some of the entries to start with those easier to comprehend. Ashby notes that "Aesop's fables were not originally created for children" (6), but rather were intended as lessons for adults. Yet Faerno's own Aesopian fables were seen as a pedagogical tool from the beginning (especially for teaching students Latin); it was works like this one that helped transform the wisdom tradition of the Aesopian fable into what we now see as a children's genre, side by side with the fairy tale tradition. 12mo, 5.5'' x 3.25''.

A Plantin Press edition of Faerno's book of fables. Commissioned by his Protector Pope Pius IV around 1550 AD, the collection was not published until 1563, only two years after Faerno died. While the work has commonly been referred to as an adaptation of Aesop's fables, many sources were mixed in from both history and Greek mythology, as well as other individual stories.Hadrianus Junius (1511-1575), also known as Adriaen de Jonghe, was a Dutch physician, classical scholar, translator, lexicographer, antiquarian, historiographer, emblematist, school rector, and Latin poet.…
