155521267Venice 1555. 18th-century gold-tooled vellum with the title lettered in gold on the spine and the manuscript title and year of publication in brown ink on the front board. Oblong 4to. With a woodcut of two hands one holding a compass and the other holding a pen 6 charming woodcut initials in text and 85 engraved models of calligraphic text and initials all set within black-lined borders. Rare edition of a famous Italian writing book by Vespasiano Amphiareo Ferrara 1501-Venice 1563 first published as "Un novo modo d'insegnar a scrivere" at Venice in 1548. A new enlarged edition followed in 1554 in two issues after which our edition followed and sixteen more before 1620. Amphiareo belonged to the noble family Albertaccia and had been to all probability a pupil of the famous Tagliente and later he was a writing-master at Venice for some thirty years. He dedicated his writing book to the Doge Francesco Donà. We see for the first time in an Italian writing book a majuscule alphabet based on botanical motives another on trunks of trees heavy gothic letters embodying putti and masks and black strapwork letters obviously linked to contemporary writing books in Germany and Switzerland. The book ends with a section on teaching the cutting of the quill and how to make a clear black ink partly based on Arrighi's instructions. To the second edition Amphiareo added further sections on illuminating in azure and gold and in vermilion in his later editions. The real significance of the writing book is that Amphiareo was dissatisfied with both the chancery and mercatile hands of his time. He therefore devised a mixture of the two styles "like a mystic body" in the Friar's Bastard as he called it which would suit both purposes. He wanted this "invention"' to be generally known and thus "with incredible personal expense" he had his book engraved and printed. After the famous writing masters Tagliente Arrighi and Palatino Amphiareo represented both their tradition and the transition to the revolutionary writing master Cresci of the second half of the 16th century.The title page is slightly browned slight marginal foxing throughout.

1894verdiothello<p>VERDI'S OTELLO COMES TO PARIS</p><p>Lithograph poster 88 x 65 cm outer dimensions of frame color lithograph framed and glazed plexi. Centerfold very minor toning excellent.</p><p>Very rare color lithograph poster produced in conjunction with the Paris premier of Giuseppe Verdi's opera <em>Otello</em>. Verdi 1813-1901 had retired from opera after <em>Aida</em> in 1871 but his publisher Giulo Ricordi 1840-1912 and the librettist Arrigo Boito 1842-1918 at last convinced him to return with <em>Otello</em> which premiered on 5 February 1887 at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan and proved to be a global success. The Paris production was a French-language version by Camille du Locle 1832-1903 and Boito which opened at the Paris Opéra on 12 October 1894 under the direction of Alexandre Lapissida 1839-1907; Verdi was in attendance.</p><p>The poster designed by Vespasiano Bignami 1841-1929 depicts the climactic scene in Act 4 Act 5 of Shakespeare's play in which Otello rises having just strangled Desdemona in her bed. In Paris the part of Otello was sung by Albert Saléza 1867-1916 and that of Desdemona by Rose Caron 1867-1930. Bignami's composition is not entirely of his own invention but an interpretation preserving the original staging of this scene. At the foot of the poster is the address 12 Rue de Lisbonne of the Paris branch of the Ricordi publishing firm where interested parties could acquire the score of the production.</p><p>Printed at the time as ephemeral advertising the poster is today very rare. We could locate no examples in institutional collections.</p> R. Stabilimento Ricordi-Milano

62084Rome AD 79-80. 18 mm. diameter. Dolphin entwined around anchor on one side and Draped bust of Tutus turning right on the other side. An excellent near mint specimen. 305 g. Obverse: IMP TITVS CAES VESPASIAN AVG P M laureate head rightReverse: TR P IX IMP XV COS VIII P P dolphin coiled around an anchor.RIC 26a RSC 309. <br/><br/><em>Good specimen of the beautiful and rare coin that inspired Aldus Manutius' famous printer's device the dolphin-and-anchor the most famous logo in the history of book printing and the trademark of the Renaissance. The Aldus coin is the only book- or printing-related ancient coin in existence.Aldus Manutius the most famous printer of all times had been given a copy of the Titus coin with the dolphin-and-anchor logo on the verso as a gift by Pietro Bembo. He was extremely taken by the magnificent logo that in Roman times by Titus Vespasian had been used to illustrate the proverb "Festina lente" "make haste slowly" and was so inspired by it that he began using it as his printer's device at the very beginning of the 16th century. Before it appears as his printer's device for the first time he used it as an illustration in one of his most magnificent books Colonna's "Hypnerotomachia Poliphili" 1499.In his "Adagiorum Collectanea" the collection of classical proverbs that he kept revising throughout his life Erasmus Roterodamus had composed a lengthy essay on the "festina lente" proverb which intrigued him immensely. Erasmus traced the motto back to the emperor Titus Vespasian who had minted a coin with the emblem i.e. the present coin and had the rare opportunity to inspect that very coin - namely that which belonged to his printer Aldus Manutius who had been given it by the great Italian scholar Pietro Bembo. The second edition of Erasmus' "Adagiorum Collectanea" was published by Aldus in Venice in 1508 and Erasmus subsequently praises his printer to the skies in the course of explaining "festina lente". Erasmus explains the motto as such: "the circle as having neither beginning nor end represents eternity. The anchor which holds back and ties down the ship and binds it fast indicates slowness. The dolphin as the fastest and in its motions most agile of living creatures expresses speed. If then you skillfully connect these three they will make up some such principle as "Ever hasten slowly" and adds that by claiming it as his own recognizable and marketable emblem Aldus gave "fresh celebrity to the same device that was once approved by Vespasian". Not only is it "most familiar it is highly popular among all those everywhere in the world to whom sound learning is either familiar or dear." Erasmus seems to also suggest that the device had perhaps become too popular: "the city of Venice with its many claims to distinction has none the less become distinguished through the Aldine press so much so that any books shipped from Venice to foreign countries immediately find a readier market merely because they bear that city's imprint."And he might have been right. In fact the Aldine press was so successful and renowned and Aldus' printer's device as taken from the Titus Vespatian coin so incorporated a symbol of elegant correct printing and higher learning that it was imitated by printers all over Europe. By using the dolphin-and-anchor device other printers although much inferior would benefit from the authority and prestige of the Aldine press. In spite of Erasmus' attempts to make the public aware of this by praising the efforts of Aldus and opposing them to "those common printers who reckon one pitiful gold coin in the way of profit worth more than the whole realm of letters" publishers kept using the Aldus device for centuries.

121689Parisiis ex officina Simonis Colinaei 1530. 8vo. 8 leaves. 256 numbered leaves. 3 leaves. Half calf smooth spine decorated binding from the early 19th century. Second edition of the poetic works of the Strozzi father and son which were collected and published for the first time by Aldo Manuzio in 1513. From a powerful family through which he forged ties with the Este house of Ferrara Tito Vespasiano Strozzi 1422-1505 held high positions in the administration and justice of that region. He was known for his humanist compositions in Latin and a few sonnets in Italian. It is said that he spent his life improving the love poems he had written in his youth. His son Ercole Strozzi 1471-1508 whom he associated with his high administrative positions was a friend of Lucrezia Borgia and had married the poetess Barbara Torelli with whom he had a daughter in addition to the two illegitimate children he is known to have. "This union caused his death claim contemporary historians: he was assassinated by a lover of his wife believed to be Alfonso d'Este" Larousse. This edition contains the dedication to Lucrezia Borgia written for the first edition as well as an epitaph dedicated to Ercole Strozzi by Aldo Manuzio. The volume ends with: "Oratio Tvmvltvaria Habita à Caelio Calcagnino In Fvnere Hercvlis Strozae" in prose. Large old ink stain on the title page whose printer's mark has been colored with a contemporary handwritten note: "Manzatus santo me possidet" . Some defects to the binding.
