He is best known as the author of the romance epic Orlando Furioso 1516-1532. The poem a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato describes the adventures of Charlemagne Orlando and the Franks as they battle against the Saracens with diversions into many side plots. The poem is transformed into a satire of the chivalric tradition. Ariosto composed the poem in the ottava rima rhyme scheme and introduced narrative commentary throughout the work.<br /> <p>Ariosto also coined the term 'humanism' for choosing to focus upon the strengths and potential of humanity rather than only upon its role as subordinate to God. This led to Renaissance humanism.</p> <br /> The story is a chivalric romance which stemmed from a tradition beginning in the Late Middle Ages and continuing in popularity in the 16th century and well into the 17th.<br /> <p>Orlando is the Christian knight known in French and English as Roland. The story takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne's Christian paladins and the Saracen army that has invaded Europe and is attempting to overthrow the Christian empire.<br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT: Very Good or better.<br /> <br /> Exterior and binding; firm hinges and joints tight pages slight bowing of boards sharp corners.

(Reliure de l'époque). 2 ff., 374 pp - 2 ff., 390 pp - 2 ff.,384 pp et 2 ff., 389 pp. Ouvrage orné de 46 planches dessinées par C. N. Cochin gravées par De Launay, Lingée et Ponce, les mêmes que celles du Roland Furieux traduit par d'Hussieux paru chez Brunet en 1775-1783. Sans le portrait en frontispice de l'Arioste dessiné par Eisen d'après le Titien. Elle est précédée d'un Abrégé de la vie de l'Arioste extraite de Simon Fornari, de l'abbé Pezana, etc., d'une traduction de la Lettre de Galilée au seigneur François Rinuccini (au sujet de l'Arioste et du Tasse). Le dernier tome contient un extrait du Roland de Boyardo (pp.100-261) ainsi que la Fleur des Batailles de Doolin comte de Mayence. " Chef-d'œuvre de l'Arioste, poète italien de la Renaissance, le Roland Furieux (Orlando Furioso), parodie du poème chevaleresque, tresse, avec une habileté et une ironie, trois grands thèmes : la guerre entre Charlemagne et les Sarrasins, la folie de Roland vainement amoureux de l'inconstante Angélique, enfin les amours et le mariage de Roger et Bradamante, ancêtres imaginaires de la dynastie d'Este. Composé de 46 chants, mêlant le tragique au plaisant, le lyrique au romanesque, usant avec autant de liberté que de maîtrise de toute la culture européenne, d'Homère aux contemporains en passant par les romans médiévaux, le Roland furieux, expérience livresque et humaine de l'Arioste en une symphonie perpétuellement mouvante de personnages et d'événements qui, après l'écroulement des repères du Moyen Âge, reflète le scepticisme souriant de la Renaissance. Ses compatriotes, l'ont surnommé le divin Arioste et son ottava rima a été appelé ottava d'oro (la huitième d'or). Il publia son poème pour la première fois en 1516, en 40 chants, mais il ne cessa de le retoucher et en donna en 1532 une édition augmentée de six chants. ".

Opera pseudo-ariostea: sono in totale 242 ottave distribuite in cinque canti, seguite dalla Canzone ''Per la partenza di Ginevra'', preceduta da un proemio di Luigi Maria Rezzi. "Nel secolo scorso diverse polemiche furono fatte pro e contro l'atttribuzione di questo lavoro all'Ariosto, e significatamente in merito all'annunzio del manoscritto originale, che doveva essere stato scritto di pugno di messer Lodovico...Nel sec. XX, e precisamente qualche anno fa, forse perché quasi più nessuno crede a tale attribuzione ed autenticità, sempre il manoscritto del Rinaldo Ardito è stato, da un libraio, munificamente donato alla R.
