Boredom forced Lodovico Domenichi to quit his law practice in Piacenza, as he explained in a letter to Aretino. He went to Venice to be with his old friend Doni and his new one Aretino. There he labored in the burgeoning publishing business as a "poligrafo," researching, editing, and translating texts, writing commentary, and producing original work. While setting up the text for Giolito's 1545 edition of Petrarca, Domenichi published his own book of sonnets--Petrarchan in form, but erotic in nature. With these poems, Domenichi's career as a bold non-conformist was confirmed. In 1545, Domenichi left Venice for Florence, where Doni had set up a short-lived printing press. There he thrived as a textual editor and translator, producing texts of classical and contemporary authors for the powerful Giunti firm. The volume offered here is a vernacular adaptation of a Latin text by Gregorio Correr (d. 1464), written in the 1420s but not performed or published until 1558. Domenichi has been blamed for failing to attribute his "Progne" to Correr (see Renouard, p. 273, #14, and Zeno's note to Fontanini, I, 473), but to be fair, Correr's Latin original was published (by Paolo Manuzio) without attribution, as if an anonymous classical text. The style is Senecan, the matter taken from the episode in Ovid's Metamorphoses of Tereus, Procne, and Philomena, the mythic prototype of abusive relationships, and later a central element in Eliot's "The Wasteland.".

Condition: molto buono. in-8, (mm 160x95), pp. 68 (i.e. 66), (1), legatura posteriore cart. rustico. Marca tipogr. sul front., iniziali silogr. istoriate. Prima edizione. Sebbene nel frontespizio sia considerata come lavoro originale del Domenichi si tratta di una traduzione letterale della omonima tragedia latina composta a soli 18 anni da Gregorio Correr, e pubblicata anonima a Venezia nel 1558 da Paolo Manuzio (in Academia Veneta). Il Correr (1409-1464) ricevette un'ottima educazione letteraria alla scuola mantovana di Vittorino da Feltre e insieme ai figli del Marchese di Mantova alla corte dei Gonzaga; fu letterato e seguì la corte pontificia nei suoi vari spostamenti; poco prima di morire fu nominato Patriarca di Venezia. Il Domenichi fu uno dei sommi volgarizzatori ed editori di testi classici per Giolito, lo Scotto ed i Giunti. La tragedia, dedicata a Giannotto Castiglione, è tratta da fonti di Seneca e Ovidio, in versi, senza divisione in atti. Edizione piuttosto rara. Buon esemplare, seppur corto in alto con qualche lieve rifilo. Allacci 648. Clubb 391. Book.
