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. Thus only two other copies of the present fifth and sixth volumes are known!The binding is slightly soiled internally slightly soiled with small repairs to the title page.

1791ABC_49348Venice: Giuseppe Orlandelli per la dita del fu Francesco di Nicolò Pezzana 1791. Contemporary half calf marbled paper sides with vellum corners a title label lettered in gold on the spine. 12mo. 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. The work is somewhat browned throughout. Otherwise in good condition.l OPAC SBN ITICCULO1E019227 6 copies; Cf.

1783ABC_49354Venice = Naples: Giacomo Antonio Vinaccia 1783. Contemporary grey paper wrappers with manuscript volume numbers on the spines. Stored in a brown decorated paper slipcase. 12mo. With vignettes built up from typographical ornaments on each title page and some ornamental headpieces. 5 volumes. Very rare highly remarklable pirated edition in five volumes of the Heyaryek-Rouz or Thousand and One Days so called to give the work an air of originality Chauvin IV 124. A Persian manuscript of this work was given to Francois Petit de la Croix in Isfahan in 1675 but enjoyed far fewer editions and translations than the Alf layla wa-layla. As Chauvin notes it cannot be determined whether the Thousand and One Days or the Thousand and One Nights was composed first nevertheless to this day the Heyarek-Rouz is much less well-known to the Western world IV 123f. Chauvin quotes one commentator who declares the Heyarek-Rouz much more ingenious and more realistic as it sometimes includes marvels following the taste of the Oriental.The place of printing given on the title page of the present edition is Venice but the costs were borne by the well-known Neapolitan publisher Giacomo Antonio Vinaccia and the books were also sold in Naples in the Corridoio del Consiglio. It is known that Vinaccia drew on the great publishing pool of Venice for many of his publications creating actual counterfeits and it is thought that even Venetian publishers themselves relied on his presses to encourage the distribution of their works in the south as well without having to pay duties or apply for printing licences cf. A. Scannapieco. In 1784 the following year an identical edition appeared giving Naples as the place of printing.The wrappers are worn mainly around the spines the edges of the leaves are somewhat frayed.
