Add to basketFolio, ff. [1], cols 1268, ff. [48]; index bound at end; title in gothic letter, woodcut angel device of Giovanni Giacomo da Legnano and brothers at head of title (CNCM 1148), 3-, 4-, 8-, and 14-line woodcut initials, capital spaces with guide letters (see below); sporadic foxing and toning, particularly to index, light soiling and neat repairs to title, paperflaw to blank margin of d8 with small loss, inkstain to e4 affecting legibility of two words; a good copy, slightly trimmed, in twentieth-century vellum-backed boards, spine gilt directly; occasional early underlining and marking.Scarce Milanese edition of Perotto's Cornucopiae, an encyclopaedic commentary to the first book of Martial's epigrams, here with a curious combination of woodcut initials and capital spaces with guide letters. Written in Nicolò Perotto's (14291480) native Sassoferrato and first published posthumously in 1489 following revisions by his son, the Cornucopiae incorporates thousands of quotations from ancient authors and comments upon nearly every word of Martial's epigrams, with a vast index and text ordered in numbered columns for ease of reference. Editing the present text was the final project undertaken by Benedetto Brugnolo (d. 1502), who corrected and expanded the index with three thousand new words shortly before his death. The present edition is the product of several intergenerational partnerships: in 1502 Giovanni Angelo Scinzenzeler had published an edition of the Cornucopiae as edited by Brugnolo for the printer, bookseller, and paper-maker Giovanni da Legnano the father of the brothers Legnano whose device appears at the head of the title dubbing Brugnolo the 'Cicero veronensis' in his letter to the reader. The elder da Legnano had also enjoyed several years of collaboration with the Bavarian-born Milanese printer Ulrich Scinzenzeler (fl. 14771500), father of Giovanni Angelo. The da Legnano brothers have here employed a veritable cornucopia of visual styles, utilising a wide variety of woodcut initials; often incongruous in style and sophistication, they appear largely toward the end of the work, with up to six initials to a page. The workshop, however, appears to have run out of four-line Qs and Os, which are cleverly replaced by capital spaces with guide letters.Scarce outside continental Europe. We find two copies in the US (Boston Public Library, Detroit Public Library), and none in the UK.EDIT16 49929; USTC 847568. Language: Latin.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very good. Folio. ff. 79 [i], 1436 columns, ff.(i). ?-10?8, a-z8, A-Y8. Italic letter in double column. Aldine device on title, capital spaces with guide letters. Two ll of quire y slightly oxidized browned, couple of tiny single worm holes on first few leaves and at end, title a little thumbed in lower outer blank corner, of table, the odd minor marginal mark. A very good copy, crisp and clean, in contemporary vellum over boards, title ms. on spine. An excellent copy of the second Aldine edition of this monumental collection of grammars, including one of the most important Renaissance Latin dictionaries, by Niccolo Perroto, together with three influential classical grammars by Varro, Festus and Nonius Marcellus, dedicated to the condottiere Federico da Montefeltro of Urbino. The largest section of the work is taken up by Perroti's Cornucopia. Written as a commentary on book I of Martial, it includes a discussion on almost every word of Martial's text, becoming a standard work of reference on the Latin language. "a massive encyclopedia of the classical world. Every verse, indeed every word of Martial's text was a hook on which Perotti hung a densely woven tissue of linguistic, historical and cultural knowledge" Brian Ogilvie, 'The Science of Describing: Natural History in Renaissance Europe." The work was revised and expanded by Perotto's son Pyrrhus and the first edition was published in Venice by in 1489; the first Aldine in 1499. The text has been carefully numbered by page and by line so that the index can be precisely keyed, marking the inception of a modern scholarly system of reference. Niccolò Perotto (1429-1480) was an Italian cleric and humanist, born and died in Sassoferrato. From 1451 to 1453 he taught rhetoric and poetry at the University of Bologna. In 1452 he was made Poet Laureate by the Emperor Frederick III, in acknowledgment of his speech of welcome to the city. He was the papal secretary from 1455 and archbishop of Siponto in 1458. Although his later career was as a papal governor, he continued his scholarly pursuits, editing the works of the Roman writers Pliny and Martial. Apart from his Cornucopia, he wrote a Latin school grammar, Rudimenta Grammatices (Pannartz and Sweynheim 1473), one of the earliest and most popular Renaissance Latin grammars, which attempted to exclude many words and constructions of medieval origin. To the Cornucopia are added the three most important classical texts on the grammar and etymology of the Latin language. "Varro's treatise is the earliest extant work on Grammar. This great work which was finished before Cicero's death in 43 BC, owes much to the Stoic teaching of Aelius Stilo. . The first three of the surviving books are on Etymology, book V being on names of places, VI on terms denoting time and VII on poetic expressions." Sandys I p. 179. Sextus Pompeius Festus' epitome in 21 books of the encyclopedic treatise 'De verborum significatione' of Valerius Flaccus is added next. Festus gives the etymology as well as the meaning of many words, and his work throws considerable light on the Latin language, mythology and antiquities of ancient Rome. The work ends with Nonius Marcellus's compendia. A lovely fresh copy of these important texts. BM STC. It. C16th p. 499. Adams P720. Renouard 63.6 Latin.

In 8°, 188pp, legatura in carta decorata, altrimenti buono stato. Niccolò Perotti, o Niccolò Perotto, in lingua latina Nicolaus Perottus (Sassoferrato, 1430 circa - Sassoferrato, 14 dicembre 1480), è stato un umanista, filologo e arcivescovo cattolico italiano. Nel 1452 Perotti ricevette a Bologna l'alloro poetico dalle mani dell'imperatore Federico III. Durante il soggiorno bolognese Perotti ebbe anche un violento scontro con Poggio Bracciolini in difesa di Lorenzo Valla.Nel 1455 Perotti tornò a Roma, dove venne nominato segretario apostolico. L'anno successivo ricevette gli ordini, e il 19 ottobre 1458 fu nominato arcivescovo di Siponto, sede nella quale tuttavia non risiedette mai. Partecipò invece l'anno successivo al Concilio di Mantova, indetto da Pio II per cercare di arrestare gli Ottomani che nel 1453 avevano espugnato Costantinopoli. Ritornò successivamente al seguito di Bessarione, restandovi fino al 1464, anno in cui fu nominato governatore del Patrimonio di San Pietro. Nel biennio 1460-61, al seguito del card. Bessarione, Perotti fu in Germania, dove venne nominato consigliere imperiale di Federico III, e poi a Venezia (1461), dove ottenne la nomina a referendario pontificio. Durante il quinquennio 1464-69, trascorso a Viterbo come governatore del Patrimonio di San Pietro, Perotti cominciò a pubblicare le sue opere di filologia. Nel 1469 Perotti tornò a Roma; attorno al 1470 scrisse un'invettiva contro Giorgio di Trebisonda reo di aver attaccato violentemente il card. Bessarione. Nel 1471 Perotti fu nominato governatore di Spoleto, incarico che lasciò l'anno successivo. Nel 1474 divenne governatore di Perugia, dove ebbe come segretario l'umanista Francesco Maturanzio. Ai primi del 1477, terminato l'incarico in Umbria, Perotti si ritirò nelle Marche, dove rimase fino al termine della vita.In-8°, 188pp, decorated paper binding, otherwise good copy. Niccolò Perotti, or Niccolò Perotto, in Latin Nicolaus Perottus (Sassoferrato, around 1430 - Sassoferrato, 14 December 1480), was an Italian Catholic humanist, philologist and archbishop. In 1452 Perotti received the poetic laurel in Bologna from the hands of Emperor Frederick III. During his stay in Bologna Perotti also had a violent clash with Poggio Bracciolini in defense of Lorenzo Valla.In 1455 Perotti returned to Rome, where he was appointed apostolic secretary. The following year he received orders, and on October 19, 1458 he was appointed archbishop of Siponto, where he never lived, however. Instead, he participated the following year in the Council of Mantua, called by Pius II to try to arrest the Ottomans who in 1453 had conquered Constantinople. He subsequently returned to the retinue of Bessarione, remaining there until 1464, the year in which he was appointed governor of the Patrimony of San Pietro. In the biennium 1460-61, following card. Bessarione, Perotti was in Germany, where he was appointed imperial councilor of Frederick III, and then in Venice (1461), where he obtained the nomination as pontifical referendarius. During the five-year period 1464-69, spent in Viterbo as governor of the Patrimony of San Pietro, Perotti began to publish his philological works. In 1469 Perotti returned to Rome; around 1470 he wrote an invective against George of Trebizond guilty of violently attacking card. Bessarion. In 1471 Perotti was appointed governor of Spoleto, a position he left the following year. In 1474 he became governor of Perugia, where he had the humanist Francesco Maturanzio as secretary. In early 1477, having finished his assignment in Umbria, Perotti retired to the Marche region, where he remained until the end of his life.
