In 16, pp. 114 con ritratto all'antip. inc. all'acq. raff. Ferdinando I di Borbone. Bellissimo esemplare stampato su carta forte rilegato in cartonat. marezzata coeva. Ed. orig. del testo di questa tragedia recitata dalla compagnia Rossi il 6 novembre 1787 (cfr. Bullettino senese di storia patria, Volume 101, p. 215). 'Ebbe il Ciotti nel corso non breve del viver suo de' giorni di applauso e di gloria. Pero' che oltre la stima giustamente guadagnata col tradurre pregevoli opere francesi si' in verso, come in prosa, ottenne per tutta Italia grandissima lode per le tragedie e pei drammi da lui forniti al teatro italiano. Cio' fu tra il 1780 ed il 1798. Ricercando i libri di quel tempo ho veduto che l'Agide , il Gusmano di Almeida e l' Ines de Castro ebbero due o tre edizioni, e furono allora tenuti tra i componimenti migliori del nostro teatro. Ma per la fede che meritano le persone piu' conoscenti del Ciotti, e per cio' che ne ho saputo da alcun contemporaneo, debbo dire che l'Agide ebbe dal pubblico maggiore accoglienza di tutte le altre opere dello stesso autore. Intanto che fu recitato molte sere di seguito sempre con applauso, e suscito' l'invidia de' malevoli, i quali mossero al Giotti accuse di plagio senza il benche' minimo fondamento' (Gino Capponi, Antologia; giornale di scienze, lettere e arti, 37, pp. 159-160).

In 16 (cm 12,5 x 18), pp. 79 + (1). Cartonatura rifatta con carta coeva. Edizione originale molto rara di questa tragedia scritta dal poeta e tragediografo astigiano ebreo Simeone Clava di cui si hanno scarse notizie. Nella raccolta "Teodia o sia Inno filosofico a Dio. Odi semilibere", stampato a Livorno nel 1836, compare un sonetto dedicato a "Simeone Clava poeta israelita d'Asti". La tragedia si rifa' ai Canti di Ossian, con il rapimento della giovane Oitona e dell'anziano padre Morni da parte di Duromante, e il tentativo di Latmo, fratello di Oitona, e di Gaulo, innamorato della giovane, di riportare i due in liberta' sconfiggendo Duromante. La scena e' nella reggia di Cuta (Cuthal), una delle Orcadi. Nell'introduzione l'A. spiega che la tragedia fu rappresentata ad Asti nel febbraio 1829 "da mediocre compagnia e venne piu' della mia aspettazione applaudita" cosa che comprovava "la bonta' magnanima dei miei concittadini intenti ad incoraggiarmi". Seguono alcuni saggi di traduzioni dall'ebraico: il capitolo d'Isaia e il lamento di Davide.

Discorso tenuto da Giovanni Antonio Volpe (1686-1766), poeta, erudito e stampatore, che qui riflette sul concetto di tragedia espresso nella Poetica di Aristotele inserendosi nel dibattito settecentesco sulla validita' del modello delle unita' di tempo, luogo e azione, e sul principio di decoro stabiliti appunto dal filosofo greco.

Prima edizione. Senza dubbio la migliore delle tragedie di quest'autore, cinque atti in versi e quattro cori, nella quale, sulla scorta di Plutarco e Cornelio Nepote, sono narrate le vicende della congiura contro il re di Siracusa.
