In-4°, (4cc), 203pp, (5cc), vignetta calcografica al frontespizio, fregio e iniziale xilografica, legatura in piena pergamena rigida. Nel 1637 Inghirami pubblicò gli Etruscarum antiquitatum fragmenta, in cui annunciava la scoperta di importanti documenti, contenenti quasi tutta la storia del popolo etrusco e della sua civiltà, nel suo possedimento di Scornello, vicino a Volterra. L'opera suscitò un vastissimo scalpore in tutta Europa. Si trattava in realtà di un falso clamoroso, come venne quasi subito dimostrato. Inghirami difese la genuinità delle sue scoperte in un ampio Discorso (1645), ma il prefetto della Biblioteca apostolica vaticana Leone Allacci dimostrò in modo inconfutabile la falsità dei documenti nell'opuscolo polemico Animadversiones in antiquitatum etruscarum fragmenta. La scrittura nei testi etruschi andava nella direzione sbagliata, da sinistra a destra. Più importante - e più significativo - era il fatto che i testi latini erano scritti in minuscolo. Attingendo a umanisti precedenti, molti dei quali avevano discusso brevemente o di sfuggita l'argomento, Allacci insisteva sul fatto che i romani avevano sempre redatto i loro testi letterari in maiuscolo. Il breve schizzo della storia dell'antica scrittura latina redatto da Allacci fornì il modello per Mabillon, che lo citò nel suo De re diplomatica (1681). In-4°, (4cc), 203pp, (5cc), the title page with copper engraved vignette, wood engraved frieze and initial, full contemporary vellum binding. In 1637 Curzio Inghirami published the Etruscarum antiquitatum fragmenta, in which he announced the discovery of important documents, containing almost the entire history of the Etruscan people and their civilization, in his possession of Scornello, near Volterra. The work caused a huge turmoil throughout Europe. It was actually a sensational fake, as was almost immediately demonstrated. Inghirami defended the genuineness of his discoveries in an extensive Discorso (1645), but the prefect of the Vatican Apostolic Library Leone Allacci irrefutably demonstrated the falsity of the documents in the polemical pamphlet Animadversiones in antiquitatum etruscarum fragmenta. Writing in Etruscan texts went the wrong way, from left to right. More important - and more significant - was the fact that the Latin texts were written in lower case. Drawing on earlier humanists, many of whom had discussed the subject briefly or in passing, Allacci insisted that Romans had always written their literary texts in capital letters. Allacci's short sketch of the history of ancient Latin writing provided the model for Mabillon, who quoted it in his De re diplomatica (1681).

Gift inscription in ink to ffep from author to Jenifer Neils. Minor edgewear and faint creasing to wraps. ; Important scientific catalogue, Italian only, showing the 53 vases and fragments of the Greek not Attic black-figure pottery originally forming part of the valuable collection that Mario Astarita donated to Pope Paul VI in 1967. The classification, resulted from a complex historical and archival research, although concerning the less conspicuous part of the collection, has experienced considerable difficulties both for the heterogeneity of the finds that compose it, and for the lack of data on their origins. The finds, in prevalence of Corinthian production, are divided by class and analyzed for type and shape, even including factories that are not identifiable. Much of the volume is dedicated to the vessel that takes the name of the collection, the "Astarita Crater", highlighting not only the archaeological and scientific prestige but also the literary and artistic value. The critical cards offer meticulous descriptions of the iconographic themes and decorations, analysis of the material and of the state of conservation, unpublished reconstructions and hypotheses of attribution, as well as a thorough bibliographical apparatus. Following the cards, there is the scheme of concordances between the various classification of vessels and fragments. Particularly valuable are the tables closing the volume that show the 53 artifacts in detail. ; Vasi Antichi Dipinti Del Vaticano; 144 pages; Signed by Author

cm. 19 x 27,5, 152 pp. Istituto Nazionale di Studi Etruschi - Biblioteca di ?Studi Etruschi? Against the background of the two-way lexical traffic between Etruscan and the Indo-European languages of archaic Central Italy, this work comprises case studies for lexical borrowings from Etruscan into Latin. It employs structuralist methods of analysis and draws on recent advances in the understanding of Etruscan grammar and the interpretation of the longer Etruscan texts. In the absence of a plausible Indo-European etymology, each Latin word is examined in the light of the Etruscan lexicon, word formation and phonology. The meaning of the Etruscan source is discussed, and an attempt is made to clarify its transmission and naturalization in Latin.
