    Condition: molto buono. in-4, (186x130 mm), ff.( 6), 40, (1 con Errata, manca l'ultimo f. bianco), impressi in elegante carattere tondo; buona legatura del XVII secolo in pergamena, capitelli passanti, titolo su tassello granata al dorso. Rara editio princeps del Novellino, raccolta di cento novelle antiche in volgare toscano raccolte da Carlo Gualteruzzi, che firma la dedica a Gregorio (Goro) Gheri, vescovo di Fano fino al 1524, poi governatore di Bologna. Gualteruzzi era assai stimato dai suoi contemporanei e il suo giudizio in materia letteraria tenuto in gran considerazione, come testimonia il suo ricco epistolario con figure di spicco dell'ambiente culturale cinquecentesco, tra cui  Vittoria Colonna, Giovanni Della Casa e Bietro Bembo ? del quale fu grande amico, procuratore ed esecutore testamentario con l'incarico di occuparsi dell'edizione dei suoi scritti. Partecipò in numerose imprese editoriali, tra cui il Galateo di Giovanni Della Casa e l'Historia vinitiana di Pietro Bembo (l'esemplare di tipografia custodito nella Biblioteca Ambrosiana reca numerose correzioni autografe del Gualteruzzi); fu sua, ad esempio, l'idea di una stampa congiunta delle Rime e degli Asolani (lettera del Bembo a Quirini, 11 nov. 1541). Il titolo "Novellino" è usato in via confidenziale proprio da Giovanni Della Casa in una lettera al Gualteruzzi del 27 luglio 1525, e l'edizione fu affidata a Gualteruzzi dal Bembo, che aveva pensato di curarla egli stesso. Le ciento novelle antike, che secondo Dionisotti rappresenta la prima edizione critica di un testo antico di prosa toscana, uscì lo stesso anno delle Prose della volgar lingua e non per caso: la lettera di dedica a Goro Gheri fu in realtà stilata dal Bembo a nome del Gualteruzzi (Cfr. Dionisotti, 1981, p. 285) e mette in luce una speciale attenzione per i fatti di lingua.  L'opera fu riedita con il titolo Libro di novelle e di bel parlar gentile nel quale si contengono cento novelle. nel 1572, inclusa la dedica a Goro Ghori (che era morto nel 1528), ma mantenendo invariate 81 delle 100 Novelle, con qualche minima correzione formale, 19 sono invece diverse e presenti solo in questa prima edizione. Curioso come si attesero quasi 50 anni per ripubblicare una raccolta di genere così popolare al tempo come le novelle in lingua volgare. Ottimo esemplare, fresco e marginoso di opera fondamentale per la letteratura volgare. Varie e notabili sono le provenienze: al contropiatto ex libris di Giovanni Bizzarro, Museo Huthiano, Serato.  Zambrini, Opere volgari a stampa, col 612-14: "Rarissimo".

Impresa tipografica al frontespizio, altra grande in fine, grandi iniziali istoriate e ornate e fregi in xilogr., car. corsivo nelle pag. preliminari, romano per il testo.  Dedica di Filippo e Iacopo Giunta "Alli studiosi della Lingua Toscana".

Borghini da alcuni codici recanti l'aureo testo del sec.

    Rilegato. Condition: molto buono. terza edizione. In Fiorenza, nella stamperia dei Giunti, 1572. In-4° (20,9 cm x 14,4 cm). Pp. (26), 1 c.b., 165 (numerate per errore 153), (3). Ripetute nella numerazione le p. 79-88 e 117-118. Segnatura: [*]-[**]4, [***]6, A-X4. Bianca la c. [***]6. Colophon alla c. X4(R). Bella e solida legatura inglese del XIX sec. in pieno marocchino avana, autore e titolo su doppio tassello in marocchino rosso sul dorso. Grandi capilettera abitati, testatine e finalini xilografici. Carattere corsivo e romano. Marca tipografica dei Giunti, con giglio fiorentino entro cornice figurata, al front. (Z653); al verso dell' ultima carta di colophon, in ovale: un giglio fiorentino sorretto da due putti che poggia su un basamento ed in basso l' iniziale F. con il motto: "Nil candidius" (Z650), vi è anche una nota di possesso manoscritta da mano seicentesca. Ex-libris nobiliare al contropiatto ant. probabilmente inglese. Lievissimo ed insignificante foxing al margine esterno di poche carte e qualche debole alone al margine esterno bianco di alcune delle ultime pp., peraltro esemplare genuino in stato di conservazione generale molto buono. Ottima e stimata edizione del Novellino, curata da Vincenzo Maria Borghini con l' aggiunta di 4 novelle alle 100 della 1° ed., la più celebre fra le raccolte di novelle della letteratura italiana, punto di arrivo della letteratura del Duecento e partenza per la successiva evoluzione trecentesca. Fu anche fonte d' ispirazione per il Boccaccio che, quando compose il Decamerone, ne adattò ben otto alla sua opera. La traduzione testuale ci ha consegnato un testo misterioso di cui non si conoscono con precisione gli autori, la data, il luogo di composizione e la struttura originaria del libro. Il termine Novellino era comparso per la prima volta in una lettera di Giovanni della Casa diretta a Carlo Gualteruzzi che fu il curatore della prima edizione a stampa della raccolta (1° ed. Bologna, 1525) introvabile e di mitica rarità. Derivante da molte fonti, alcune classiche e medievali, ma principalmente francesi e in misura minore provenzali e italiane in questa edizione l' autore ne ha aggiornato l' ortografia. Di notevole interesse filologico è anche da notare che alcune di queste novelle hanno però un forte background inglese, una riguarda il re Giovanni e un' altra, la LXXXI Sir Lancillotto del lago "Qui conta come la Damigella di Scalot morì per Amore di Lancialotto de Lac".

    4to (215 x 160 mm). (26), (2 blank), "153" (= 165), (3) pp. With the Giunta's woodcut fleur-de-lis device in a decorative cartouche on the title-page and a different one in an oval on the last page, a woodcut factotum at the head of the title-page, another woodcut decoration, about 120 woodcut decorated initials (about 7 series) including some repeats, decorations built up from arabesque typographic ornaments, and a vine-leaf ornament (Vervliet 90). With the main text set in roman type but the extensive preliminaries in italic. Contemporary limp sheepskin parchment, straight-sewn on 3 tanned calf supports cut flush with the bookblock, the spine reinforced with printed waste. Third edition (usually called the second), in the original Italian, of the first collection of native Italian stories, best known under the titles Il novellino and Le cento novelle antiche, written up as a collection (at least in some cases probably copied or adapted from various sources) between 1281 and 1300. Boccaccio borrowed and adapted eight of them when he wrote his Decameron between 1348 and 1353. Seven manuscripts survive from the early 1300s to 1523, but most contain fewer than 50 stories and only the last, commissioned by Pietro Bembo, contains 100. The stories are among the first to present ordinary people as protagonists in stories of everyday life. They are as bawdy as Boccaccio's but more conservative in their presentation of relations between the sexes, with women often though not always depicted as foolish and stupid (and once described as smelling like rotten fish), but women occasionally appear in a better light and are even allowed to be risqué, at least in private among themselves. - But while some stories from the Decameron were printed already in 1470 and it remained a celebrated literary standard work to our day, the present stories appear not to have been printed until 1525, when Carlo Gualteruzzi prepared an edition directly or indirectly from the 1523 manuscript: Le ciento novelle antike, Bologna, Girolamo Benedetti, 1525 (USTC 800597). An undated edition (USTC 802199 & 994562) reports no publisher or place of publication, but probably appeared in Italy soon after the 1525 edition. Both were simple productions of popular literature that were soon largely forgotten and survive in only a handful of copies. Entries in the surviving Diario of the printing office of the monastery of San Jacopo di Ripoli in Florence record their production of "il cento novelle" from 20 April 1482 to 13 May 1483, but this is now identified as a surviving edition of the Decameron rather than a lost edition of Le cento novelle antiche. - So when the Benedictine monk Vincenzo Borghini (1515-1580), advisor to the Medici in Florence, prepared the present 1572 edition, these stories had already become almost unattainable. It is a much fancier production than the earlier editions, beautifully printed on good paper in some of the best French types of the day (notably romans by Pierre Haultin and italics by Robert Granjon) with a wide variety of decorated initial letters, other woodcut decorations and arabesque typographic ornaments. It quickly became the standard text and all editions followed it until 1825, when scholars returned to the text of the first edition. So the present edition shows the stories as they were known for nearly 250 years. - But in the heat of the Counter-Reformation, with the Catholic Church fiercely guarding its reputation against accusations of corruption and immorality, these stories could not be printed as they stood. The Church was mainly concerned about stories that might show the Church or its representatives in a negative light, so Borghini's censorship centred on religious elements, but there were also limits to his toleration of erotic scenes. He removed 17 stories entirely (6, 7, 12, 16-18, 36-37, 39, 54, 57, 62, 75, 86-87, 91 and 93), replacing them with 18 stories whose sources still need to be investigated. One of the added stories appears before story 1 as "Proemio", so the others are still numbered I-C. Finally Borghini added an appendix with four additional stories, numbered as a separate series, I-IIII. While modern scholars understandably lament Borghini's censorship, it has unfortunately led them to ignore the 22 stories he added, while a recent study of his work on the Decameron published a year later shows that besides censoring it he gave it much scholarly care and consulted early manuscripts. A proper understanding of this important series of stories (and their reception) requires a thorough study of the manuscripts and both the 1525 and the present 1572 editions. - With a 17th-century(?) armorial library stamp on the title-page ("ex. bibliot: come . cardelli. kom"?). After an attempt to remove an inscription from the foot of the title-page (leaving a stain on the facing flyleaf) an owner cut off 1 cm of its foot margin, not approaching the text. With a tear in the blank leaf 3*6 and in the blank foot of the final leaf V8, and minor foxing, but still in good condition. The cover has pulled loose from the bookblock at the inside front hinge. The most beautiful and most influential edition of an important series of 13th-century stories, with 17 stories from the first edition omitted and others censored, but with 22 stories added. - Adams G 1358. Joseph Consoli, ed., The Novellino or One hundred ancient tales: an edition and translation, 1997. Edit 16, 47120. ESTC 805025.

    Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 1572 1st ed Novellino Carlo Gualteruzzi Italian Tales Sexuality VULGAR Proverbs "There once was a doctor named Giordano, who had a disciple. The son of a king fell ill. This teacher went to him and realized that he could cure him. The disciple, in order to steal all the prestige from his master, said to the father, "I can see that your son will surely die." And, disagreeing with his teacher, and acting as one of great learning, he opened the sick man's mouth and, using his little finger, deposited some poison on the man's tongue. The man died. The teacher went away and lost all of his prestige, which was gained by his disciple. From that moment on the teacher swore that he would only attend to.dumb animals" (Gualteruzzi, Novella XI) The 'Princeps' or 'Novellino' by Carlo Gualteruzzi is a 16th-century collection of ancient tales. Joseph Consoli, a Gualteruzzi expert, says "The principal innovative aspect of 'The Novellino' is its inclusion of everyday people in the ranks of its protagonists." This collection is important in that before this work, "representatives from the non-privileged classes were invisible to the literary world." (Consoli, xix) This setting of poems and stories includes tales of human emotions, particularly of love and sexuality, deceitfulness, and selfishness. Gualteruzzi depicts women 'as silly and stupid creatures' in a number of his tales. According to Consoli, "The representation of women in "The Novellino" cannot be considered constructivethis attitude towards women reaches its outrageous zenith with the raucous, rude hysterics of a group of knights at the hatefully vulgar description of the scent of a woman."
