LIMITED EDITION OF 306 COPIES. RARE large, ornate edition of Dante Alighieri's 'Divine Comedy', published on the alleged 700th anniversary of the Comedia. The text is heavily annotated, and is prefaced by the Italian poet Gabriele D'Annunzio. The edition features numerous woodcuts and text decorations reproduced from the 15th-century Venice edition of the Comedia. This exemplar is not numbered, meaning it is probably one of the first 6 copies. 415x310mm. XI+524 pages. Brown cloth Hardcover, masterfully restored from a damaged and partially missing cover. Cover corners bumped. Pages wavy with somewhat rough edges. Pages slightly yellowing. [SUMMARY]: In spite of the damage to cover it has previously sustained, this rare and impressive edition of a great literary masterpiece has been restored and is in good condition. PLEASE NOTE: This item is overweight. We may ask for extra shipping costs.
Folio (240 x 342 mm). 375 leaves (of 376, without initial blank). Double column, 49 lines plus headline, gothic type, 3- to 12-line initial spaces. Contemporary blind-tooled full leather over wooden boards; traces of brass clasps and catches. "La prima edizione commentata della Divina Commedia" (Mambelli), published only five years after the editio princeps (Foligno 1472). An exceptionally large and crisp copy, completely unsophisticated in its first binding. - This seventh edition altogether is the first to contain extensive commentary, "a heavyweight volume both literally and metaphorically, edited by Cristoforo Berardi of Pesaro. The text does not follow a single previous edition, and it seems likely that Berardi's independence (as a Pesarese) from northern Italy led him to use a manuscript". The editor also included supplementary information, such as Boccaccio's Life of Dante (its first appearance in print) and rubriche at the start of every cantica. "Berardi's edition thus marked a new approach to the presentation in print of the major literary works in the vernacular" (B. Richardson, Print Culture in Renaissance Italy, 1994, p. 37). - Binding somewhat stained and rubbed; covers re-attached with professional repairs to inner hinges; some traces of worming. Fore-edge has manuscript title "DANTES". First and last few leaves a little foxed and soiled. Provenance: duplicate of the Austrian National Library with their deaccession stamp to terminal blank PP12v ("Aus der National Bibliothek in Wien als Doublette ausgeschieden ..."). Pencil collation mark of B. Quaritch Ltd. on recto of the same leaf. Later sold by the Libreria Antiquaria Hoepli, Milan, with their description tipped in to terminal blank ("E' la prima edizione assoluta della Divina Commedia commentata [...] Bellissimo esemplare, integralmente originale"), their seller's bookplate to inside front cover and their certificate of authenticity, dated 31 October 1961, to inside lower cover. Bookplate of the Swiss art collector Albert Natural (1918-1959) to inside upper cover. - Rare: only three complete copies recorded at auction, all in considerably later bindings. According to Rarebookhub and ABPC, the present volume is the only incunabular edition of Dante's "Commedia" still preserved in its first binding to have appeared on the market since 1960. HC 5942.

4to. (24) pp. With armorial woodcut to title page and printer's device to verso of final leaf. Modern half vellum with handwritten spine title and marbled covers using old material. Exceptionally rare first publication of the libretto of the first opera in musical history, also the first opera libretto ever printed. The music by Jules Caccini and Jacopoto Peri, composed for the first performance on the occasion of a carnival soirée at the Palazzo Corsi in Florence in 1598, is lost. Ottavio Rinuccini (1562-1621), who also wrote the textbook for "Euridice", was not an occasional librettist, but a court poet among who also composed sonnets and verse drama (cf. Honolka, Geschichte des Librettos, p. 22). The present libretto was probably published for a later performance at the Corsis' in August 1600 (for the history of genesis and performance history cf. the extensive account in Sonneck I, p. 339-345). Rinuccini's "Dafne" was again performed, with new music by Marco da Gagliano (1582-1643), in 1608: this score is preserved to this day, and the opera has been performed repeatedly on European stages throughout the 20th century. - Marescotti's fine woodcut device on the final page shows a naval emblem with the motto "Et vult et potest". Very occasional slight browning. On leaf C2v the setting error "DEL" has been corrected by "AL" pasted over the erroneous word. A fine copy. Edit 16, CNCE 29328. BM-STC Italian 556. Sartori 7015.

8vo. 272, (8) pp. With 6 full-page engravings of birds of prey (125 x 85 mm) plus 3 (of 5) repeats, all on integral leaves. Red goatskin morocco, gilt edges, signed in the foot of the front turn-in by M[arcel] Godillot (active as bookbinder 1938-1975), with wide gold-tooled turn-ins and gold fillets on board edge. Very rare second edition, one year after the equally rare first edition, of one of the earliest French treatises on falconry and hawking, by Charles d'Arcussia (1554-1628), falconer to King Henri IV (and later to Louis XIII), who dedicates it to the king. "The work is much esteemed on account of its originality and the amount of information it contains" (Harting), "the outcome of long practice and an astonishing amount of research work in every subject connected with [Arcussia's] favourite sport [hawking]" (Schwerdt). - Jean Tholosan published the first edition at Aix-en-Provence in 1598, but the USTC records only 3 copies of each, all in French libraries except for a copy of the present edition at the Wellcome Library in London. - The six birds of prey illustrated are described as: De l'espece du faucon premier de noz oyseaux, Du Lanier Nyais, Du sacre, Du Gerfaut, De l'Emerillon and De l'Autour Nyais. USTC oddly notes that D8 is cancelled, but it is certainly present here, with one of the 11 engravings. The book went through about a dozen editions before 1650. - With an 18th century endleaf, a monogram stamp (ca. 1800) on the title-page, and a modern armorial bookplate of the Verne d'Orcet family, whose great library on the subject of hunting was begun ca. 1900. Washed and lacking F8 (supplied in a lithographic [?] facsimile on 18th century [?] paper), but that leaf contains only repeats of 2 engravings plus their captions and a 4-line verse, with no other text. Three other plates are slightly shaved, affecting the tip of one bird's tail (present in the repeat plate), the beak of another and a small bit of foliage in a third plate, a corner torn off 1 leaf (affecting one shoulder note), a small hole in another, a worm hole in the foot margin of the last few leaves and a faint water stain in the fore-edge margin of a few leaves. Still generally in good condition, the binding fine. Very rare classic of falconry and hawking. Harting 153 (note). Nissen, IVB 35. Ronsil 3120. Schwerdt 41. Souhart 16.

4to. 3 parts in one vol. (8), 358, (2), (56) pp. (= 28 double-page maps of the ancient world); (56), (72) pp. (= 36 double-page maps of the modern world); 47, (49) pp. A total of 64 double-page engraved maps. Contemporary limp vellum with hand-lettered blue spine label; wants ties. First edition of Girolamo Ruscelli's Italian translation of Ptolemy's "Geography": "a new and important edition in Italian, with a new series of maps" (Stevens). Apart from the 27 traditional Ptolemaic maps, this edition boasts 37 new ones, including three maps of the world, showing the earth according to the description of Ptolemy ("tutta la terra conosciuta fin' à tempi di Tolomeo") and as it was viewed after the discovery of America ("Tavola universal nuova", in two hemispheres - "the first time that such a representation had been used in an atlas", Shirley 110), with a separate navigation map ("carta marina nuova tavola"). Among the "new" maps, the most remarkable ones are those of India, South-East Asia and of America, offering some of the earliest depictions of the newly-discovered continent; other maps include Arabia, Asia Minor, Greece, Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and North and South Africa. Ten of the old Ptolemaic series show Europe, four show Africa, and twelve Asia. Most of the maps are based on the Gastaldi maps from the 1548 Venice edition made by Giulio and Livio Sanuto, but maps not found there include Scandinavia (after Jacob Ziegler, 1532); Brasil (after Ramusio); the Arctic regions; South Africa; and the navigational chart of the World (Shirley 111). - Title-page a little stained and remargined in the lower corner. A few insignificant lower edge flaws to the first quires. Printed on strong paper, all maps in stark, excellent impressions. A fine copy in its first binding. Edit 16, CNCE 38126. BM-STC Italian 543.
