Ownership inscription on front blank. <br /><br />The19th-century literary historian Henry Hallam called Ariosto "Europe's second-favorite poet after Homer." Indeed there was an appetite for a modern English translation to replace the Elizabethan version by John Harington. John Hoole assumed the enormous task and produced this very popular version in rhymed couplets with extensive annotation and a biographical essay. The publication is notable for the commission in volume three of a frontispiece plate engraved by William Blake as well as for plates after Angelica Kauffman Gertrud Metz and William Hamilton.

Illustrated with 8 engraved plates designed by Kauffman Thomas Stothard Metz and Hamilton 3 plates in Vol. I; 1 plate in vol. II; 2 in Vol. III; and 1 each in vols. IV & V including the plate facing p. 164 of volume 3 engraved by William Blake after the drawing by Thomas Stothard. 5 vols. 8vo. Hoole's translation in decasyllabic rhymed couplets first appeared in 1783 with these illustrations. The Blake engraving dramatically illustrates Orlando brandishing an uprooted tree for which Blake altered the original Stothard drawing in interesting ways cf. Essick figs. 34 & 35. Most notably Blake enlarged the roots of the uprooted pine dramatically with an effect far more 'furious' than the original.

With engraved portrait in volume I and 92 ENGRAVED PLATES with original tissue guards 46 from the Baskerville suite see below and 46 by Cochin. Cohen-De Ricci 98; Ray "French" p. 113. Bindings with half a dozen small patches of lost patina due to insect activity leather on spines a little dried and crackled occasional mild browning other trivial imperfections but an extremely pleasing copy especially internally with a clean remarkably fresh text wide margins and excellent impressions of the engravings.<br/> <br/> Our French edition of Ariosto's great sprawling romantic epic combines illustrations from two famed editions with engravings by top artists of the period. Each of the 46 cantos of "Mad Orlando" has two plates depicting the events described one from the Baskerville edition of 1773 printed in Italian for Molini and one from the quarto edition of the present French translation published just before our octavo printing. These 46 pairs of images are not only aesthetically pleasing as engravings but they allow for fascinating studies in interpretation because the pairs are consistently--and sometimes very distinctly--different one from the other. Jean-Michel Moreau known as Moreau le Jeune 1741-1814 provided illustrations for Diderot's encyclopedia and engraved works for François Boucher in addition to illustrating the works of Rousseau and Voltaire. According to the Getty Museum "publishers sought him out for his powers of observation and ability to capture nuances of gesture pose and light." Ray says that the best work by Moreau "showed him to be the equal of the established rococo masters Boucher Eisen and Gravelot" and that in his heyday "he carried all before him." Ray was enchanted by the Moreau engravings seen here noting "Moreau was at the top of his form as might have been expected when the most elegant of illustrators encountered the most elegant of poets." Charles Nicholas Cochin 1715-90 was one of the foremost French illustrators and one of the most influential persons in the French art world of the 18th century. He began producing engravings in his teens was elected to the Academy at 26 and was a member of the court for 40 years doing portraits of almost every celebrity of the period. As the person who provided the finished plates from the 276 original compositions by Oudry for the famous large folio edition of La Fontaine's "Fables" 1755-59 Cochin played an instrumental role in producing what Ray says is "one of the most ambitious and successful of all illustrated books." At 50000 lines long and 26 years in the making and refining "Orlando Furioso" by Ariosto 1474-1533 is one of the most singular and extravagant of narratives ever conceived. The story takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens when Orlando Roland one of Charlemagne's finest knights neglects his duty out of love for the pagan princess Angelica. After she falls in love with a Saracen and elopes Orlando goes mad and is only restored to sanity when another knight flies to the moon in Ezekiel's chariot and obtains a magic potion to break the spell. There are many more complications. First published in 1516 "Orlando" was translated into English French as here Spanish and German becoming one of the most influential works of literature writers indebted to Ariosto include Tasso Cervantes Spenser Shakespeare Milton Byron and Shelley.

177244472Venice Presso Antonio Zatta 1772. Hardcover. The four volumes contain 56 full page copper engravings by Giuliano Zuliani Tommaso Baratti Ferdinando Fambrini Giacomo Malosso Giacomo Leonardis Pietro Antonio Novelli and an engraved frontispiece of Ariosto by Giuseppi Daniotto. The notes for the binder call for another copper engraving to precede that frontispiece but it is not present in this copy.<br /> <br /> Marbled endpapers and edges. Each volume contain a cloth marker ribbon.<br /> <br /> A large copy 289 x 204 cm with wide margins. Bound in full calf. Binder's label of "C. Meyer Bookseller and Bookbinder to the Queen and Princesses 2 Hemmings Row St. Martins Lane" - ie Charles Meyer a German emigre who was bookbinder to Britain's Queen Charlotte. Meyer was active in London from 1797 until his death in 1809 though the firm apparently continued until 1811 so the volumes were presumably bound during that 14 year period. The volumes were later rebacked see photos.<br /> <br /> Each volume contains on the verso of the front free endpaper an ink notation "L/ 4 E 3"; "L/4 E 4"; "L/4 E 5"; "L/4 E 6" - presumably the location marks for a substantial private library but the volumes contain no other indication of which of the several aristocratic collectors for whom Meyer worked was the original owner of these volumes.<br /> <br /> In parts of volumes three and four the upper and/or lower corners of the pages are very faintly dampstained not affecting the text and in fact barely visible. With that exception this is a very nice copy clean crisp and with wide margins of a very handsome and finely illustrated edition of one of the monuments of classic Italian literature. . Four volumes. The 46 cantos are followed by the 5 additional cantos and then by about 136 unnumbered pages of bibliographies summaries and indices. Venice, Presso Antonio Zatta hardcover
