Illustrated with an engraved title page 51 full-page woodcuts ornamental headpieces and initial letters. The woodcuts within decorative borders are after the designs of Dossa Dossi the Ferrarese painter and are printed from the blocks of the first Valgrisi quarto editon of 1556. <br/><br/>First published in 1516 this classic Italian romantic epic influenced many later works including Spenser's THE FAERIE QUEENE and Shakespeare's MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING. The action takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne and his Christian paladins and the Saracen army which is attempting to invade Europe. However Ariosto has little concern for historical or geographical accuracy and the poem wanders at will from Japan to the Hebrides as well as including many fantastical and magical elements such as a trip to the moon and an array of fantastical creatures including a gigantic sea monster called the orc and the hippogriff. The poem grew in popularity as well in size after Ariosto's death increasing from 40 to 46 cantos in 1532 and finally to the finished form of 51 cantos. F. Valgrisi and N. Moretti hardcover

Overall a very good copy.<br> <br> "Lodovico Ariosto represented the sentiments the passions and the vices and virtues of 16th-century Italians in his epic poem L'Orlando Furioso The Crazy Orlando. This Renaissance classic based on romances popular at the time furnished the framework for the chivalric narrative in Edmund Spenser's The Faerie Queene. Orlando Furioso is a tale of knights dames and courtesies when the Moors invaded France to avenge the death of their king's father. In the story Orlando Roland Charlemagne's nephew and most famous knight falls madly in love with Angelica who is also pursued by many other Christian and Moorish knights. She flees these attentions only to bestow her love in the end on a poor man without rank. Ariosto's view of life reflected throughout the poem is one of ironic disillusionment-love is madness. John Harington 1561-1612 was a witty courtier and godson of Queen Elizabeth. He is also the acknowledged inventor of the flush toilet. According to lore Harington first translated the racy tale of Jocundo from Canto XXVIII and circulated it among the ladies of the Court. The Queen feigned to be shocked by some passages and reprimanded her godson for endangering the morals of her maids of honor. Elizabeth sentenced Harington to stay away from the Court until he had translated the whole of Ariosto's poem. Harington completed the translation by 1591. Harington's Orlando Furioso is one of the major translations of the age freely executed but faithful to the spirit and style of the original. At 33000 lines in length and nearly 6000 lines shorter than the original the translation is seldom exactly what Ariosto wrote shorter in places and expanded elsewhere-with moral truisms added. Each of the forty-six cantos of the poem is preceded by a full-page illustration including the especially risqué one for Canto XXVIII. All are copied strictly or with slight variation from the plates used by Girolamo Porro in a Venice edition printed in 1584. The engravings are unsigned purportedly the work of several engravers including possibly Jodocus Hondius. Clark Library UCLA Chrzanowski 1607a : Regarding the 1607 Second edition.<br> <br> STC 748.

A very handsome copy in proper period binding. The paper just likely mellowed and toned by time very occasionally headlines slightly shaved first gathering cropped a bit the vellum very well preserved sturdy and handsome. RARE AND EARLY ILLUSTRATED PRINTING OF ONE OF THE FOUR CORNERSTONES OF ITALIAN LITERATURE. Ariosto’s great cantos inspired by the crusades are considered his crowning achievement. Though first published in 1516 Ariosto considered this edition incomplete and imperfect. He continued to work on correcting and enlarging it throughout the remainder of his life thus the first “complete†ORLANDO FURIOSO was not produced till 1532 the year prior to the author’s death by consumption.<br> The extraordinary merits of this work cast into oblivion the numberless romantic poetry which inundated Italy during this period. This flawless work powerful elegant and cultivated. In description and narrative he excites the reader’s deepest feelings and displays a vivacity of fancy with which no other poet can vie.<br> ‘The ORLANDO blocks were cut for Valgrisi’s first quarto edition of 1556 and follow Niccolo Zoppino’s idea of providing one illustration to each canto but going far beyond the Zoppino blocks in skill of design and cutting. They are the first full-page illustrations for Ariosto. They were placed in the instructive tradition of the Marcolini Dante the illustration is mentioned on the title-page and at the beginning of Ruscelli’s 1556 dedication to Alfonso d’Este Duke of Ferrara. Ruscelli explains to the reader the application of the rules of perspective to the multiple scenes in these cuts. The upper part of the block often becomes a map offering as Philip Hofer notes a tour of the canto by hippogryph. Valgrisi’s artist often varied from Giolito’s in his choice of the principal scene for illustration and relegated the Giolito subjects to his background. Valgrisi’s blocks are printed within borders with figures and grotesques. He was able to use the same blocks without borders in an octavo of 1556 for the popular market. There are two different border designs for the illustrations and two smaller cherub borders for the “argomento†to each canto.’ Vencenzo Valgrifi hardcover
