1791ABC_49342Venice: Giuseppe Orlandelli per la dita del fu Francesco di Nicolò Pezzana 1791. Near contemporary wrappers with the manuscript title on the spine. 12mo. With a small vignette built up from typographical ornaments on each title page. 4 volumes. First Italian edition of the Continuation des mille et une nuits an ambitious project to extend the Arabian Nights as translated by Antoine Galland. The Galland Manuscript the Arabic source ended at Night 282 and Galland had to supplement his work with original inventions or by translating French novels that were only orally transmitted.In the 1780s the Syrian monk Diyunisus Shawish renamed Dom Denis Chavis arrived in Paris. Short of money he decided to take advantage of the literary vogue of the moment and announced that he could prepare a more complete manuscript of the Thousand and one nights than Gallands. He proceeded to transcribe the existing corpus introducing numerous changes and expanding it with other stories from a manuscript he had brought with him from Syria. The operation proved successful: the Genevan publisher Paul Barde who was producing an impressive anthology of fairy tales entitled Cabinet des Fées commissioned Chavis to translate much of the material into French and then entrusted the text to the writer Jacques Cazotte who carefully revised it and even added stories of his own invention. The result of this singular collaboration was this beautiful Continuation first published at Geneva in 1788.Wrappers worn and chipped the edges are somewhat frayed.

With 26 of 27 engraved plates drawn by Pietro Zandomeneghi and engraved by Giorgio Buttazzon. 27 parts in 9 volumes. Rare first illustrated Italian edition of the Arabian Nights the first new translation after Coletis. This is one of the finest Italian editions of the Nights both for its impressive set of plates and for its translation. The editor and translator Antonio Francesco Falconetti had worked on a greatly expanded French corpus that is considered one of the most complete versions of the work: The translation entirely new is based on the latest Paris edition found for the part already made public by Galland on original texts amended and enlarged with new stories by M. Destains and then completed with the addition of a very large number of previously unpublished novellas discovered by M. Hammer which form a good third of the entire series editors preface vol. I p.

Scarce illustrated edition of a classic testifying to the great popularity which the Thousand and one nights enjoyed throughout the 19th century also in Milan.

1721ABC_49346Venice: Sebastiano Coleti 1721. Near-contemporary vellum. 12mo. With a small woodcut vignette on the title page and a woodcut ornamental tailpiece. 2 volumes bound as 1. Two volumes from the very rare first Italian edition of the Arabian Nights based on Gallands liberal but highly influential French translation. Adapted to Parisian tastes it had been first published in 12 volumes between 1704 and 1717. The present translation was the main vehicle for the circulation of the Nights in Italian culture through the 18th- and 19th centuries and via Venice also influenced Modern Greek literature which had access to the work only in the Italian translation. The history of the Italian reception of the Arabian Nights is characterised by the hegemony of Gallands work in Italian translation which circulated first via Coletis edition and its various new editions and later in the translation by Armando Dominicis in 1893 Christian-Muslim relations p. 859.Volumes V and VI contain respectively Nights CLXVI-CCIII and CCV-CCCXXXIV. The work is of great rarity: only two complete sets of the present work are traceable in libraries worldwide Arezzo City Library and National Central Library Florence and only two other libraries have an incomplete set volumes 11 and 12; Biblioteca Saveriana Conforti Parma and Biblioteca comunale Alessandro Cialdi Civitavecchia.

With a small vignette built up from typographical ornaments on the title page of each volume and with some headpieces built up from typographical ornaments. 6 volumes. Second Pezzana edition following that of 1784. That Niccolò Pezzanas company which in the meantime had been succeeded by Giuseppe Orlandelli returned to print the Arabian Nights testifies to the great favour the stories had found among readers in Venice. Also in 1791 the "Continuation of the Thousand and one nights" left its presses in a major publishing project to rediscover oriental fables.With the black ownership stamp of Ettiénne della Valle on the title page of each volume.

1784ABC_49347Venice: Francesco di Nicolò Pezzana 1784. Near-contemporary gold-tooled half calf marbled paper sides with a red morocco title label lettered in gold on the spine. 12mo. With a small vignette built up from typographical ornaments on each title page and some headpieces built up from typographical ornaments. 6 volumes. First edition by Pezzana a both prolific and diligent publisher of exotic tales. After Coletis first Italian edition of 1721-22 and that of Domenico Occhi between 1741 and 1743 Nicolò Pezzana was the third to issue the "Arabian Nights" in Italian: the text is the same as Coletis as is the size 12mo. From the time of their appearance the Novelle Arabe had been considered a work of literature for wide consumption and circulation . It was no coincidence that as early as 1780 the stories had been included in the group of works released from their privilege and subsequently raffled off among the less affluent members of the Guild. The printer Pietro Piotto who owned only a print shop without a bookshop was awarded the rights to the publication on 22 October; when he failed to exploit that privilege it was quickly seized by Pezzana Callegari. A very rare edition recorded in only six copies in the Italian OPAC SBN.The bindings are a little rubbed and the spines show some signs of wear around the head and foot.

174040863Italy 1740. Oblong folio 222 x 305 mm. Notated in black ink on 10-stave rastrum-ruled paper. Watermark with initials "G.M." within a circle below a trefoil. <br /> <br /> Violino primo: 1f.<br /> Violino secondo: 1f. <br /> Unfigured basso continuo: i title 2 i blank pp. <br /> <br /> Violino primo part slightly soiled at edges; small tears to blank margins. Violino secondo part with small tear and minor stains to blank margins. Basso continuo part slightly soiled and stained with small tears to margins of title; title and second page of music reinforced at inner margins with early narrow strip of paper. This elegant and lighthearted trio sonata in B-flat major is cast in three movements: Allegro Assai C Andante C and Presto 3/8. Each movement is in binary form with repeats. The opening Allegro Assai incorporates leaping octaves occasional swerves into G-minor terrain and climactic rising scales at its conclusion. The Andante makes use gentle syncopations and slides of a third. The opening two movements start with the Romanesca progression a favorite opening gambit of 18th century composers conveying freshness and an amorous mood. The final Presto is a compact and attractive minuet. Most often the violins harmonize with each other and the bass making frequent use of parallel thirds and sixths; in several spots however they double each other. This may indicate that this work was originally conceived for a larger ensemble with string sections as it is not particularly common to encounter such doubling in chamber music. This sonata may have originally been an orchestral overture to a theatrical work. <br /> <br /> Not located in the RISM manuscripts database. unknown

1984022365Bologna: No publisher 1984. Unbound. Fair. No publisher. Presumed Bologna Italy 1984. Single sheet 13 by 8 ½ inches. Printed on a single side. All text in Italian. A flyer citing the "brutal" round up by police of homeless people who were occupying an abandoned building in Bologna Italy. 12 people were taken into custody. The flyer appears to depict a police station with a hammer and sickle image at its lower right. The flyer calls for the continued fight to guarantee the right to autonomous social spaces and a redistribution of income. It also mentions an event every Tuesday at the autonomous social center "Casa Gialla." Our research did not turn up any specific news event associated with this flyer although it seems to us to be associated with the long and varied anarchist movement in Italy perhaps along the lines of Marxist Autonomism. FAIR condition. Horizontal and vertical fold creases present. General moderate to heavy wrinkling and creasing to the piece with some toning. Extremities rather tattered torn and worn with minor loss. Some tearing along the fold creases. The flyer looks just as any anarchist would expect. Awesome! No publisher unknown
