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."

191769840Boston and New York: Houghton Mifflin Company 1917. First Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. Large Paper Edition this is number 129 of 550 copies. This copy comes from the library of Lucretia Thatcher Perry Osborn 1858-1930 with her bookplate to the front pastedown and a holographic note in her hand on the front flyleaf "This narrative is one of John Muir's earliest chiefly written from his diary of the North". Lucretia and her husband American paleontologist Henry Fairfield Osborn 1857-1935 were close friends and benefactors of John Muir. Henry accompanied Muir on his fifth trip to Alaska 1896 and later Muir spent time at the couple's summer house in Garrison New York working on the final proofs of The Yosemite 1912. A fantastic association. In addition to its regular arctic duties as a United States Revenue Service Cutter the Corwin steamed out of San Francisco Bay on May 4 1881 with orders to search for the American polar exploration vessel Jeanette which had not been heard from since 1879. Muir shipped onboard as a naturalist and correspondent for the San Francisco Daily Bulletin and this work consists of the 21 letters that he wrote to the Bulletin during the more than five-month voyage supplemented with notes from his daily diary and the two scientific reports on botany and glaciation that he wrote for the government. Muir was a gifted journalist with a reporter's instinct for the dramatic. Filled with colorful details of the arctic natives and their customs the stark landscape and frequently perilous adventures in an inhospitable and hazardous environment his despatches were eagerly read by a large audience. Edited by William Frederic Bade 1871-1936. Hand-colored photogravure frontispiece with 26 plates consisting of one map eleven halftone reliefs from photographs eight halftone reliefs from sketches by Muir and six line blocks from drawings by Muir. Octavo. Original green laid paper covered boards with a green cloth spine and a brown leather spine label stamped in gold. Partially unopened. An especially crisp and bright example. Later bookplate to a prefatory blank leaf. The spine is lightly faded along the spine with a tiny bit of wear to the spine heel and some very mild rubbing to the rear board. Kimes 347.
