"I called to enquire after the notice & took the liberty of sending you last phrase insert about the lectures I am now giving at the London Institution - & was surprised to hear that the Editor of the literary Gazette considers the subject perfectly exhausted - For I have the honour to tell you the view I now take of the origin of polytheism-worship- of animals - Mythology & Idolatry is quite new - for it traces the whole to the original coptic words or names by which the hieroglyphics "were" excised exhibiting the different applications of the power of the Supreme Being were termed - as far as I know no one ever went as far- tho' perhaps from Bacon to our time may authors have surmised that this might underlined be the case but never any one has shown that this was underlined the case.-I hope therefore that the Editor will have the goodness to look over my paper once more - & favour me with inserting it in the next number.

ENGRAVED THROUGHOUT with numerous floral initials 20 charming tailpieces frontispiece and 15 full-page illustrations by M. Pitteri all designed by Giambattista Piazzetta. Front flyleaves with book labels of John Saks Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow and David R. Godine. See: Boorsch "Venetian Prints and Books in the Age of Tiepolo" p. 20 and no. 98; Selby Carol E. "A Small Masterpiece from the Eighteenth Century Publishing World." Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts vol. 43 no. 3/4 1964 pp. 60-63. ◆A hint of rubbing to extremities one tiny abrasion to front cover flyleaves with offsetting from binder's glue one page with tiny ink spot in margin but AN EXTREMELY FINE COPY ENTIRELY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT internally in a beautifully preserved binding and case.<br/> <br/> Preserved in its original pull-off case and in superb unsophisticated condition this is a very charming prayer book engraved by a trio of talented artists that is called "a small masterpiece" in the "Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts" in 1964 and described in the June 2013 Christie's catalogue of the Vershbow sale as "one of the most desirable Venetian illustrated books of the 18th century." The plates here were designed by Giovanni Battista Piazzetta 1682-1754 a painter and illustrator whom Britannica calls "one of the outstanding Venetian artists of the 18th century." Piazzetta was known for his masterful use of chiaroscuro and dynamic compositions--both of which can be seen to great effect in the present work. The engravings were executed by a close collaborator of Piazzetta Marco Alvise Pitteri 1703-86 whom Selby calls "one of the most able and popular engravers in Venice being in demand for the reproduction of works of his most distinguished contemporaries." Using his own unique blend of engraving techniques described by Boorsh as "unprecedented and unimitated" Pitteri is able to translate Piazzetta's animated compositions into a small-scale format with figures that are beautifully highlighted and seem to glow on the page. But perhaps the most impressive part of this work is the text itself. What at first glance appears to be more than 400 pages of letterpress is in fact entirely engraved--an extraordinary feat of precision and patient craftsmanship by Angela Baroni daughter of engraver Giuseppe Baroni. It seems likely that Angela learned the craft from her father but little else is known about her life. Regardless Angela's talents speak for themselves through this work. As Carol Selby tells us "Engraving a book like this one is an undertaking indeed. . . . The more than 400 pages must each have been engraved in reverse on copper plates which being almost impossible to correct allowed little margin for error. The effect is charming lively controlled but free." Thanks to the original and very pretty pull-off case this little gem has remained in outstanding condition inside and out. The volume has a distinguished provenance having belonged to collectors known for their taste and discrimination in the acquisition of a range of especially desirable books: John A. Saks who bought it from Bernard Quaritch in 1981 then Arthur and Charlotte Vershbow then David Godine who bought it at the Vershbow sale for $3000. Giambattista Pasquali unknown

183141474Napoli Naples Italy: Raffaele Miranda. 1831. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo; 246 & 2 blank pages; TWO interesting contemporary accounts of Napoleon Bonaparte both first editions - one published in 1820; the other in 1831 bound together in a handsome octavo volume. The binding is in the Romantique style: quarter black calf over marbled paper covered boards flat spine richly decoratively stamped in gilt plain laid endpapers edges decoratively sprinkled blue. Ad I: 'Biografia istorica del prigioniere di S. Elena : con una descrizione topografica di quest'isola / estratta dalla Galleria de' contemporanei di Luigi Jullian ; prima versione italiana eseguita sull'ultima edizione francese da Domenico Solito.' Napoli : Raffaele Miranda 1831. This copy is signed in ink by Domenico Solito the Italian translator on the verso of the half title page underneath a printed notice to the effect that purchasers should consider copies offered for sale without the signature as counterfeits. The French original was published in several editions as: 'Notice biographique sur Napoléon. Extrait de la galerie historique des contemporains.' This title had appeared in a third edition by 1822: "Troisième édition augmentée jusqu'a sa mort." Bruxelles : Auguste Wahlen et compagnie 1822. The larger work referred to was written by Pierre Louis Pascal de Jullian: "Galerie historique des Contemporains ou nouvelle Biographie seule e´dition dans laquelle se trouven re´unis les hommes morts ou vivans de toutes les nations qui se sont fait remarquer a la fin du 18-me sie`cle et au commencement de celui-ci par leurs e´crits leurs actions leurs talens leurs vertus ou leurs crimes." This work eventually grew to several volumes. The 1831 first edition in Italian is quite scarce to the point that it does not appear in OCLC. There are copies in a few Italian institutions located in the OPAC SBN. There is some diffuse foxing throughout probably associated with the quality of the paper used in this edition as the binding is well preserved. Ad II: 'Massime e pensieri del prigioniere di Sant-Elena manoscritto trovato nelle carte de Las-Casas. Tradotto dal francese da Felice Miola.' Napoli: Dalla tipografia di Porcelli 1820. 8vo: 115 & 1 blank pp. This was presented at the time of publication as written or dictated by Napoleon himself. Now historians generally accept the notion that the text reflects mostly the work of the man to whom it was supposed to have been dictated -- Emmanuel-Auguste-Dieudonne´ comte de Las Cases. In the same manner as the first volume bound here this copy is signed by the Italian translator this time on the verso of the title page. This title does appear in OCLC see number: 18586354 -- four locations only: 2 copies at Harvard 1 each at UC Berkeley and the University of Manchester UK Library. There was another Italian version published during that same year of 1820 in Palermo That one appeared without a translator's name specified but stated: "Novissima traduzione interamente riformata e ricorretta." The Palermo edition is most likely the sort of thing that Felice Miola and his Neapolitan publisher were hoping to avoid by signing the "genuine" copies like ours. OCLC locates a copy of the Palermo verso at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin. Two rare Italian contributions to the vast literature of Napoleon one published while the former Emperor was still held by the British on remote Saint Helena. There are no marks of ownership other than the faint number "959" stamped at the upper corner of the first title. Both titles have diffuse moderate foxing; there is some toning to the upper portions of the leaves of the second title. The splendid binding is well preserved apart from some erosion of the marbled paper at the edges and corners of the boards.; Signed by Translator . Raffaele Miranda hardcover
