1760193395China: no stated publisher after 1760. The cream of Chinese poetry A mid- to late-Qing dynasty printing of this poetry collection prepared on the orders of the Qianlong emperor including works by Du Fu and Li Bai the unsurpassed masters of Chinese poetry's golden age as well as Bai Juyi Han Yu Lu You and Su Shi. Within a few hundred years of their deaths Du and Li were already considered China's greatest poets. Du's deep and emotive poems were inspired by his personal experiences and the momentous events of his day including the 755 An Lushan Rebellion. "In Chinese culture his works have been virtually canonized because as the expression of the Chinese mind and moral being in their highest form their supremacy in literature has been placed beyond merely literary considerations. In the literary matters of innovative technique and the establishment of many new subgenres Du Fu is also seen as without peer" Chou p. 1. Li Bai's poems were heavily influenced by his free and eremitic lifestyle. They often took the form of dreams or spirit-journeys exploring themes such as reclusion friendship the beauty of nature and the effects of drunkenness. "The infectious rhythm of much of his poetry makes his lines memorable and the vividness of pictures he paints in words brings to life the scenes and places he describes" Brown p. 542. Completed in 1750 the compilation was overseen by Liang Shizheng 1697-1767 the emperor's trusted cultural advisor and printed the following year. A second edition from new woodblocks was issued in Jiangsu a decade later with imperial permission and this set is likely printed from those re-cut blocks. Forty-seven parts in 25 vols octavo 275 x 175 mm. Woodblock-printed text in Chinese. Later brown wrappers xianzhuang stitching ink manuscript titles on front covers. Housed in four later blue cloth folding cases bone toggles. Old tidemarks in some vols couple of closed tears including 160 mm tear on part 15 f. 5 old residual mould staining in parts 24 37-40 and 44-45 other occasional marks a few small repaired losses; cases with staining and worming on lining: a very good set.

1766AMO-2091Imprimé aux dépens et pour le bénéfice de l'Auteur, par qui chaque exemplaire sera signé. S.d. (Yverdon, Suisse, vers 1766) 1 volume in-8 (20,6 x 12,1 cm) de 45 pages. Le premier feuillet qui compte dans la pagination est blanc. Cartonnage plein papier de l'époque. Reliure sur ficelle entièrement recouverte d'un très joli papier de Augsbourg (Allemagne) doré à motifs floraux. Ensemble très frais. Cartonnage en superbe état. Infimes frottements. Petite perforation sans manque à 3 feuillets, sans atteinte au texte. TRÈS RARE ÉDITION. Contrairement à ce qui est annoncé au titre, notre exemplaire n'est pas signé par l'auteur. L'exemplaire de la bibliothèque cantonale de la ville de Lausanne est signé. La base d'ornements typographiques (Bibliothèque cantonale Universitaire de Lausanne) indique que ce volume sort des presses de Fortuné-Barthélemy de Félice, à Yverdon, probablement en 1766. Ce poème en vers à la gloire du peuple helvétique est précédé d'un Discours préliminaire qui occupe les pages 5 à 13, terminé par une Épître. "Je le demande sans adulation. Est-il des peuples en Europe, et peut-être sur toute la terre qui méritent le plus d'être loué que ceux qui composent le Corps Helvétique ? En est-il, qui fassent mieux revivre les mœurs des premiers âges ; c'est-à-dire, de ce siècle heureux, appelé l'âge d'or ?" (extrait du Discours préliminaire). On sait peu de chose sur l'auteur. Il était protestant, vécut à Tournai en Belgique et sa production littéraire fut marquée par la réflexion philosophique et des idées de fraternité et de tolérance. Il est l'auteur de quelques ouvrages publiés toujours à compte d'auteur : "Le Miroir des Vertus Legislatives" (1772), "L'Anti-Suicide ou le Suicide combattu par le courage et la vertu"(1777); "Le triomphe de l'Héroïsme. Ode à Monsieur l'Amiral Keppel" (1779). Il a aussi donné La Lyre protestante consacrée aux partisans de la bonne cause, aux vrais intéressés à la conservation de l'équilibre en Europe, aux sincères amis de la vérité, aux généreux protecteurs et restaurateurs des Arts, des Belles lettres et des Artistes (vers 1760 également), ouvrage qui n'a pas été distribué dans le commerce et qu'il adressait "sous enveloppe à des personnages puissants et considérés"(Barbier, II, 1339). Il doit en être de même de cette Ode. Notre exemplaire n'est pas signé, quelque chose l'en aura empêché ... Il se serait tué d'un coup de pistolet en 1784 à Aix-la-Chapelle. (Cf. Manuscrits français de la collection berlinoise, vol. 1, p. 282). Sa mort tragique volontaire est transcrite dans le moindre détail dans la Chronique scandaleuse (éd. 1791, tom. 2 p. 121 et suiv.). Localisation : aucun exemplaire au Catalogue Collectif des Bibliothèques de France (CCfr) ; La notice de la Bibliothèque Universitaire de Neuchâtel indique que ce poème a été publié avec la date de 1766 sans le Discours préliminaire (dans lequel il explique qu'on lui a fait reproche de publier ce poème par lui-même sans avoir fait appel à un éditeur). On en trouve quelques exemplaires dans les bibliothèques suisses. BEL ET RARE EXEMPLAIRE EN ÉLÉGANT ET FRAGILE CARTONNAGE DE L'ÉPOQUE.

When other women were publishing anonymously or under a pseudonym Marinella's name was on most of her books and she was known by all Venice as the author of the rest. She apparently used the feminine form of her last name; some editors have used the family form "Marinelli." Lucrezia was the daughter of a Venetian physician who wrote works on medicine two on women's health and on philosophy. We know nothing of her mother nor of when her father died do we know that he was dead by 1600. Someone saw to it that Lucrezia was given an education that included philosophy and classical as well as vernacular literature. At some point she married a physician Girolamo Vacca and had at least two children a son and daughter. When Marinella was 24 years old her first work was published La colomba sacra poema eroico The holy dove a heroic poem a biographical epic in ottava rima on an early Christian martyr. Her next publication was the Nobilta et l'eccellenza delle donne co' difetti et mancamenti degli uomoni The nobility and excellences of women and the defects and vices of men printed in 1600 and enlarged in 1601. Between 1603 and 1606 six more works were published although some appear to have been written earlier: a heroic poem and a prose work on Mary; poems on Francis of Assisi and on Justina another early Christian martyr; a collection of Marinella's sonnets and madrigals and a pastoral verse novel Arcadia felice. After 1606 there is a gap of 12 years before her next publications --- an allegory based on the story of Cupid and Psyche and a poetic biography of Catherine of Siena --- and then another 11 years before she published in 1635 what historians of Italian literature consider her masterpiece L'Enrico overo Bisantio conquistato Henry or Byzantium gained. We don't know the connection between these gaps and her life as a wife and mother. By the 1590s the Roman influence that we call "Baroque" had come to Venice. It grew in part out of the Catholic Church's need to reach out to people to instruct and to arouse them more directly than it had done before. For literature the result was an emphasis on vernacular writing with a strong emotional appeal. All of Marinella's writing reflects the Baroque but in different ways and from a feminine perspective. She usually wrote in the heroic verse form but sometimes in a combination of verse and the "poetic prose" that she saw as capable of the same elevation as poetry. Many of Marinella's books were lives of religious figures but almost always about women and then always with the emphasis on their heroism rather than on more passive virtues. She wrote of the heroic resistance of the women Columba and Justina; her book on Catherine of Siena was on the "heroic deeds and marvelous life"; her life of Mary apparently the most successful during her lifetime was on Mary as "empress of the universe"; in a later edition of her early poem on Francis Clare of Assisi's "glorious passion" receives equal billing. Her secular writing also fused the extravagance of the popular chivalric tales and heroic epics with a Christian but feminine view of morality. One satirically allegorizes the myth of Cupid and Psyche as a conflict between body and soul; another is a pastoral verse drama that makes fun of human love. L'Enrico overo Bisantio conquistato is an epic in the style of Torquato Tasso's La Gerusalemme liberata but with stronger more self-reliant women. To date the only work of Marinella's that has been translated into English is part of her Nobilta et l'eccellenza delle donne. It differs from her other writings in being a polemical treatise a genre in which extravagant statement and personal attack were acceptable. Forty-five years later Marinella would write Essortationi alle donne et a gli altri Exhortations to women and others in which she would qualify some of the more extreme views expressed in Nobilta. But in 1600 Marinella would say whatever she needed to say in order to refute the misogynist statements of earlier writers particularly the treatise of Giuseppe Passi who had published Dei donneschi defetti The defects of women in 1599. Although it differs in purpose from her other works Nobilta shares with them Marinella's Baroque qualities of intensity extravagant rhetoric and emotional appeal; it also shares their confidence in a woman's ability.
