Condition: Very good. First Edition. 8vo. 6 volumes. 54, 377 pp., 1 blank f., engraved frontispiece portrait of Pinelli ("F. Bartolozzi del. et sculp."); 4, 468 pp.; 4, 367 pp., 1 large folding plate ('Specimen scripturae in papyro') with small stain; 56, 471 pp.; 8 pp. (pp. 1-2 blank), 360 pp., 5 engraved plates of Egyptian and other antiquities; 16, 365 pp., 1 blank f. Items in Vol. I-III numbered 1 - 7953, Vols. IV-V (Autori Italiani &c.) numbered 1 - 3908, and Libri Francesci, Inglesi, Olandesi, Tedeschi, Spapagnuoli, 708 items, altogether 12,569 items. Contemporary, no doubt original, pale blue marbled wrappers over flexible paste-paper boards (somewhat worn but perfectly sound), original printed spine labels (one missing), uncut and mostly unopened. Excellent, complete copy in original publisher's boards of the most important catalogue of an Italian eighteenth century private library; its purpose was that of an 'inventory catalogue' for the disposal of the collection either as a whole or 'en detail' (see Morelli's preface). Pinelli (1736-1785) was the last of a family of 'Stampatori Ducali', official printers to the Venetian government, and a keen collector whose library included inherited books. His portrait, of ca. 1760, is one of the few original works by Bartolozzi. After Pinelli's death, his heirs charged Morelli, his close friend, and 'the Magliabecchi of his age' (Enc. Italiana) with the completion of the catalogue which duly fulfilled its immediate purpose. Vol. VI provides a valuable index to the work, at the end of Vol. V there is an index to the ca. 1100 incunabula. Even the medical collection was significant (Pinelli owned the 1543 Vesalius De Humani corporis fabrica and the 1543 Epitome and many other great rarities). In 1788, the London booksellers James Edwards (1757-1816) and James Robson (1733-1806) bought in Venice for £6,000 the celebrated Pinelli library of which the above is the excellent inventory. While in transit to London on three vessels, one of the ships was captured by pirates and the books thrown into the sea (cf. Ottino and Fumagalli, Bibliotheca bibliographica italica, no. 4180). The remainder of the library was sold at auction by Edwards in 1789, by means of a sale catalogue, which was a shortened translation and adaptation of Morelli's, by Samuel Paterson (1728-1802), another London bookseller and auctioneer (cf. DNB). Although it was not a great success financially, the sale, which brought in £8,637, was the first of foreign books on a large scale to be held in London and put that city on the map as an international center of book auctions. § Peignot ('Ce catalogue est un des meilleurs qui existent'); Cicogna 4380 ('La fama di questa Biblioteca notissima . uno dei cataloghi piu ben fatti'); Horne, p. 721: 'This catalogue is one of the best ever executed, not only from the value and number of the curious works described in it, but also for the valuable bibliographical notices of Morelli. The Pinelli collection of books long held a distinguished rank among the libraries of Europe: it was upwards of 200 years forming by the family, and comprehended an unparalleled collection of Greek, Roman, and Italian authors, from the origin of printing; with many of the earliest editions printed on vellum, and finely illuminated; a considerable number of curious Greek and Latin MSS. (biblical, legal, and classical), from the 11th to the 16th centuries.' Taylor, Book Catalogues, pp. 97-98 and 256.

Beside the family business, Maffeo assembled in his life a valuable collection of coins, medals, books, prints, statues and paintings that were put up for sale after his death in 1585. In the same year, his fellow student and friend Jacopo Morelli compiled the catalogue of the paintings (Catalogo di quadri raccolti dal fu Signor Maffeo Pinelli ed ora posti in vendita, Venezia 1785) and, upon request of Maffeo's stepfather, Daniele Zanchi, the catalogue of the library (cf.

New marbled pastedown sympathetic in design to original (retained) marbled free endpapers. Maffeo Pinelli (1736-1785) was a learned Venetian printer whose collection was originally formed nearly 200 years earlier by John Vincent Pinelli, also of Venice. Following the latter's death in 1601, the collection continued to be augmented by his descendants, including Maffeo. In 1788, the library was purchased en bloc by the booksellers James Robson and James Edwards and shipped for dispersal by sale in London. The preface to this catalogue is by Jacopo Morelli, who edited the six-volume catalogue of the library that appeared in 1787. The sale of 12,859 lots was conducted over a period of 60 days and realized 9,356 pounds.

La Biblioteca Pinelli fu iniziata da Gian Vincenzo Pinelli (Napoli 1535 Padova 1601), benchè di origini napoletane, trasferitosi nel Veneto, poi smembrata e confluita in parte nella Biblioteca Marciana, in parte acquisita nel 1608 dal Card. Borromeo per la Biblioteca Ambrosiana. La parte ereditata da Maffeo Pinelli (1736-1785) fu conservata dal 1752 a Venezia a Palazzo Bragadin, sede appunto dell'attività di tipografo del Pinelli. Alla morte di questi fu acquisita per 6000 sterline dal libraio inglese James Edwards che la disperse all'asta tra il 1789 e il 1790. Proprio in occasione della vendita, che sarebbe dovuta avvenire in blocco o in parte, Edwards incaricò Jacopo Morelli (1745-18019), allora conservatore della Biblioteca Marciana, di redigere il catalogo della biblioteca pubblicato in edizione originale nel 1787. Il catalogo, con i suoi 6 volumi, testimonia l'eccezionalità della biblioteca venezia na che comprendeva preziosi manoscritti, incunaboli, edizioni di classici e favolosi libri stampati su pergamena. Cicogna 4380: "La fama di questa Biblioteca notissima. uno dei cataloghi più ben fatti". Ottimo stato di conservazione.
