Copertina rigida. Condition: discrete. Cm.12,3x6,3. Pg.(24), 638. Legatura in mz.pergamena con titoli manoscritti al dorso. Piatti marmorizzati e tagli spruzzati. Marca calcografica al frontespizio, in cornicetta a doppio filo. Capilettera ornati. Esemplare privo dei fogli di guardia. Ex libris "Biblioteca Caproni". Edizione tardo seicentesca di questo poema di Bernardo Morando (Sestri Ponente, 1589-1656), che dopo gli studi svolti nella Chiesa di Santa Maria della Costa a Genova, si dedicò alla attività commerciale di famiglia a Piacenza, ivi rimanendo per tutta la vita. In buona parte autodidatta, nel 1610 divenne Ğdirettor primarioğ degli spettacoli alla corte farnese, componendo anche messe in scena e drammi musicali, anche per Claudio Monteverdi e Sigismondo d'India. Ottenuta la dignità nobiliare, contribuì alla fondazione della "Accademia degli Spiritosi". "La Rosalinda" costituisce il suo testo più noto: composto nel 1650, ebbe una traduzione francese, almeno 23 edizioni fino al 1726 e tre trasposizioni musicali. "Le vicende, svolte secondo una trama complicatissima, ricca di colpi di scena e bruschi cambiamenti di prospettiva che rimandano al modello dell?Orlando furioso, sono ambientate in anni recenti, e hanno come sfondo eventi reali (tra cui, come segnala l?ĞAutore a chi leggeğ, Ğle turbolenze dell?Inghilterrağ, ossia le contese civili tra Carlo I e gli anglicani, e Ği movimenti del Turcoğ). Le tematiche principali affrontate direttamente o adombrate nel testo si riallacciano agli interessi sempre manifestati da Morando: emergono così forti istanze religiose, di chiara impronta controriformistica, e la rivendicazione orgogliosa del proprio ceto d?origine. Nella rappresentazione della società sono mescolati ambienti borghesi e aristocratici: per Morando, tra le due classi non si manifestano più differenze sostanziali quanto a ideali e stili di comportamento" (da "Enciclopedia Treccani"). Il testo venne posto in musica da Marc'Antonio Ziani e dal Veracini. > Piantanida, 3266, "Romanzo di soggetto amoroso, morale e sacro che narra le vicende di una "ragazza per bene": non mancano componimenti poetici recitati o cantati dai personaggi, come pure cenni di storia genovese, inglese (origine dello scisma) e qualche fatto di cronaca nelle guerre contro i Turchi. Edizione sconosciuta anche all'Albertazzi". Michel, "Repertoire des ouvrages imprimés en langue italienne au XVII siècle", V, 197. Graesse, IV, 601, segnala l'edizione 1651. 200 gr.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. No Jacket. 16mo. [22] + 624p. Ornamental woodcut on title. 19th century half calf; gilt. Popular historical novel about a musically gifted nun set in civil war England and in the Mediterranean, which is considered a prototype of romance. First published at Piacenza in 1650, the book was a bestseller, reprinted well into the 18th century. Its plot is thought to be partly autobiographical and influenced by the counter reformation. It includes dialogues defining the concepts of the Genovese mercantile class. La Rosalinda is the bestknown work by the author (1589-1656) who also wrote libretti for musical dramas (1646 & 1652). An English translation of Rosalinda, a novel containing the histories of Rosalinda and Lealdus was published in 1733; an adaptation by John Lockman appeared in 1740 as Rosalinda, a musical drama. A French abridged translation by Gaspard M. Fontanieu was published at Grenoble 1730 and Paris 1732. Blank corners of last leaf repaired without loss.
