1766BB1797Padova Padua: Appresso Giusseppe Comino 1766. Early Reprint. Full Calf. Fine. An important reprint of Aldine's first edition of 1528 discarding the extensive alterations to the text that corrupted editions of this classic treatise on etiquette for more than a century. 4to 23 x 16 cm xxiv 352pp with portrait frontispiece of Castiglione after Raphael illuminated initials and head and tail pieces throughput. Modern vellum and marbled boards spine titled in gilt. Included is the "best and fullest biography of Castiglione which was written by Abate Pietro Serassi who had access to the family papers brought to Rome by Cardinal Valenti Gonzaga secretary to Pope Benedict XIV." Cartwright A very scarce wide-margined survival tightly bound contents clean with only light occasional foxing. PMM 59. Razzollini p. 99. Gamba 296 for Comino's complete edition of Castiglione's works from 1733 upon which this edition is based. Cartwright v. 2 pp. 445-447. First printed in Venice by Aldine Press in 1528 then reprinted innumerable times since in every major European language. The Courtier is the most celebrated instruction manual on the courtly manners of the Italian High Renaissance "a veritable compendium of Renaissance culture." Literary Encyclopedia In 1590 Pope Sixtus V placed it on the Church's List of Prohibited Books but exempted the expurgated edition prepared by Antonio Ciccarelli which was the only edition that remained in circulation for more than 100 years. Finally in 1733 Volpi issued an edition of Castiglione's collected works that disregarded Ciccarelli's corruptions and reverted to the original Aldine edition. Our edition is a reprint here of Volpi's text of The Courtier and it exists in two states unmutilated and mutilated. According to Razzollini more than a thousand copies originally were printed but only one hundred were issued and only after the text primarily Book IV was extensively revised to incorporate Ciccarelli's changes and elisions reducing the original text to 303 pages vs. 352 pages in unmutilated copies. Our is one of the rare unmutilated copies beautifully preserved. N. B. With few exceptions always identified we only stock books in exceptional condition.

192949051New York: Horace Liveright 1929. Black cloth binding with gilt spine stamping. Yellow decorative eps. Green dust jacket. VG some modest shelfwear/period poi to half-title page/Abt VG backstrip quite sun-tanned/extremity wear with largish piece lacking from rear panel lower left corner. x 4 456 pp. List of Editions pp. 427 - 432. Index at rear. 8vo. 8-3/4" x 5-7/8" <br/><br/>The Book of the Courtier by Baldassare Castiglione is a lengthy philosophical dialogue on the topic of what constitutes an ideal courtier or in the third chapter court lady worthy to befriend and advise a Prince or political leader. The book quickly became enormously popular and was assimilated by its readers into the genre of prescriptive courtesy books or books of manners dealing with issues of etiquette self-presentation and morals particularly at princely or royal courts books such as Giovanni Della Casa's Galateo 1558 and Stefano Guazzo's The civil conversation 1574. The Book of the Courtier was much more than that however having the character of a drama an open-ended philosophical discussion and an essay. It has also been seen as a veiled political allegory. It offers a poignantly nostalgic evocation of an idealized milieu — that of the small courts of the High Renaissance which were vanishing in the Italian Wars — with a reverent tribute to the friends of Castiglione's youth in particular the chastely married Duchess Elisabetta Gonzaga of Urbino to whom Castiglione had addressed a sequence of Platonic sonnets and who died in 1526. The work was composed over the course of twenty years beginning in 1508 and first published in 1528 by the Aldine Press in Venice just before the author's death."
