17124343Rome: Francesco Gonzaga 1712. Extremely rare first edition of this luxuriously illustrated anthology of extracts from papal sermons delivered between 1703-09 in Latin prose and facing Italian verse: an unusual example of Baroque ecclesiastical culture from the pontificate of Clement XI. On the basis of extreme rarity and contents the volume numbers among those commemorative and honorific volumes which were never sold in the trade but offered as a ceremonial gift to cardinals ambassadors and other important personagescorroborated by the ownership inscription in the present volume by a monsignor during Clements papacy. The volume is singular in our experience for its contents. Latin extracts of Clements sermons generally rather brief are printed on the left side of the page then freely and somewhat copiously versified in Italian by the poet Guidi. The sparsity of the elegantly printed text leaves positively wasteful margins! Each sermon is preceded by a full-page engraving on the subject of the sermon the Holy Family adoring the Christ Child for Christmas the Resurrection for Easter etc. designed by Pietro Leone Ghezzi one of the principal artists in Clements retinue and engraved by Roman engravers generally also associated with Clementine projects Frey van Westerhout etc. The designs were made expressly for the present volume and are echoed as it were in a series of initials and vignettes devoted to the same theme; as such they must have been engraved for the present volume and not simply taken from the printers stock. If somewhat overshadowed by Maratti in his lifetime and by his epoch-making role as the first professional caricaturist Ghezzi 1674-1755 was nonetheless an important painter of religious subjects who worked on Albanis most prestigious public projects. The surfaces of Ghezzis paintings were considerably less finished than those of Maratti and he seems more receptive to Venetian color and unfinishednessthus showing a different aspect of Albani taste. Ghezzi was commissioned in 1712 the year this book was published to paint The Election of St. Fabian for the Albani Chapel in S. Sebastiano fuori le Mura. Within the next decade he helped paint the frescos the ancient basilica of S. Clemente and the nave decoration of St. John Lateran. His portraits including one of Clement XI are unusually informal and realistic possibly due to Ghezzis experience at caricature. Alessandro Guidi 1650-1712 who translated the sermons was a prolific Arcadian poet. OCLC records a single copy Berkeley and we locate no additional American copies. Large 4to. 28 x 20.5 cm engraved portrait of Clement XI xvi pp. full-page engraving 213 pp. including 5 full-page engravings paginated with text. 18th-c. vellum over boards spine with 5 raised bands and red morocco label gilt-stamped; covers with large blind-tooled central ornament blind-tooled filets and ornaments.
