Tender joints reinforced with Japanese paper. 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.

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
