CONTEMPORARY WOODEN BOARDS backed with more recent leather no endleaves spine lined with a fragment of a 14th-century vellum manuscript evidence of clasp and catch. <p> FIRST EDITION OF THE LAWS GOVERNING VENICE AND ITS EMPIRE. Not dependent on Roman precedents these laws set the civil and criminal procedures of Europe's longest lived overseas empire - the island republic its mainland holdings immediately to the west and its colonial possessions: the stato da mar.<br /> Reflecting the preeminently commercial character of the Venetian state the majority of these statutes concern real and moveable property contracts pledges debts loans inheritance interest obligations counterfeit merchandise and trading partnerships. The nearly complete overlap in the 15th century of private Venetian seagoing business ventures and state military operations means THE RIGHTS OF WOMEN FIGURE PROMINENTLY IN THE CODE as their male family members were long abroad. Multiple and complex jurisdictions and appellate avenues developed in response to the variety of local statutes customary laws special privileges and feudal jurisdictions of the maritime and mainland states. "The judicial system played a significant role in tying the disparate parts of the maritime state together" O'Connell.<br /> THE VENETIAN MARITIME CODE CONCERNS COMMERCIAL PROJECTS AND MILITARY EXPEDITIONS. These fifty-two articles and their nine supplementary "corrections" deal with towing disabled vessels cargo luggage allowance victualing entering and leaving port arming sailors damage liability manifests transport of pilgrims and cavalry deserters daily rations of water and wine Black Sea voyages and so on. According to Cicogna these statutes were not reprinted.<br /> THIS FOLIO IS THE FIRST NON-LITERARY WORK TO BE PRINTED IN THE VENETIAN DIALECT and the fifth overall.

In totale 83 tavole di navi (di cui 11 ripiegate). Edizione originale estremamente rara. L’unico esemplare conosciuto nelle biblioteche pubbliche è quello della Marciana a Venezia. L’altro esemplare citato da Armao (Correr) non esiste più in questa biblioteca. Quello della Marciana ha solo 74 tavole. Armao, pp 171-72 conta 86 tavole (oltre al testo e il titolo). Crediamo che si tratti d’un errore: anche il numero di tavole ripiegate dato da Armao è inferiore a quello dell’esemplare in questione. Presente qualche piccolo restauro a due o tre tavole, altrimenti esemplare fresco proveniente dal Dipartimento Idrografico di Russia, di cui porta il timbro al verso del titolo: si ricorderà come quest’opera venne composta dal Coronelli per la Nazione Moscovitica, come è indicato nel titolo, v. Armao p.171.: “Vivissimo era a Venezia l’interesse per la costruzione di navi e quando il Governo veneto affidò al suo cosmografo e lettore di geografia l’istruzione di un gruppo di ‘cavalieri moscoviti’ inviati a venezia da Pietro il Grande nel 1697, Coronelli curò il disegno di tutta una serie di navigli che fece poi incidere su rame”. V. “Il P. Vincenzo Coronelli nel III centenario della nascita” p. 357 n.41, che dà la seguente collazione: tav. 71+15 e pp 2+4 In-4 ° oblong, engraved half title, printed title, vellum binding, bands on spine, 1 explanation leaf, 60 plates (9 of which folded), engraved title (Navigli of Japan), 12 plates, engraved title (Boats of Venice), 2 explanatory leaves, 11 plates (2 of which folded). In total 83 plates of ships (11 of which folded). Extremely rare original edition. The only copy known in public libraries is that of the Marciana in Venice. The other copy cited by Armao (Correr) no longer exists in this library. The Marciana one has only 74 plates. Armao, pp 171-72 has 86 plates (in addition to the text and title). We believe this is an error: even the number of folded tables given by Armao is less than that of the specimen in question. There are some small restoration with two or three plates, otherwise a fresh copy from the Hydrographic Department of Russia, whose stamp is on the back of the title: this work was composed by Coronelli for the “Nazione Moscovitica”, as indicated in the title , v. Armao p.171 .: “The interest in the construction of ships was very high in Venice and when the Venetian government entitled its cosmographer and geographer to the instruction of a group of 'Muscovite knights' sent to Venice by Pietro the Great in 1697, Coronelli oversaw the design of a whole series of ships that he then engraved on copper ".

The Boston Athenaeum Museum</p><p><i>"From the middle of the 15th century the Venetian institutions came to maturity which allows Venice to parade every week in the fullness of its myth under the eyes of the Venetians and the whole world Urbi et orbi - including the Turks and the Chinese. Venice then shows itself united eternal strong and indestructible</i>. "<br /><br />One of the great moments of this frenzied proclamation of the political perfection of Venice is the rite of the <i>trionfo </i>- or ducal procession - where hierarchy order harmony and collective respect are the characteristics of this state liturgy.<br /><br />This urban rite we could even say ritual is a great moment in the political life - and in the life itself - of Venice. Indeed the ducal procession is intended to be a proclamation of the cohesion of the State and its strong structure in the eyes of the Venetians as in the eyes of foreigners who will necessarily receive echoes. The Milanese Pietro Casolo passing through Venice at the end of the 16th century was impressed by the unchanging - and disciplined - ordering of these Venetian processions:<br /><br /><i>In my opinion one man seemed to rule all things and he was obeyed by all without resistance. It filled me with admiration as I have never seen such a discipline at similar shows.</i><br /><i>They walk two by two behind the doge in a completely different order from what I have seen in many religious or secular courts where as soon as the prince has passed everything goes in all directions and in disorder. Here in front and behind everything is as in a perfect order as possible.</i><br /><br />The ordering and place of each are not the result of chance but the result of a rigorously thought out and unchanging ceremony. This immutability is demonstrated by the existence of commented engravings that is to say that the artists note the order of the succession of the characters as an element as perennial as the architectures that frame this ceremony. An example the engraving of Giacomo Franco which shows us the beginning of the procession which enters the basilica. The frieze arrangement evokes the Roman triumphs of the Ara Pacis or Trajan's Column."

18254504048Probably Venice 1825. A few spots but generally in fine condition the watercolours well preserved and bright. Oblong small quarto album 185 x 275mm containing forty-six watercolours of various sizes and shapes ranging from delicate circular vignettes to larger scenes of urban and theatrical life elegantly bound in nineteenth-century ochre morocco with ornate gilt decoration. <p><p>A beautiful suite of watercolours including a superb series of scenes of a contemporary Venetian commedia dell'arte troupe by the Venetian painter and engraver Novelli. Featuring images from both the stage and street-performance including acrobatics and conjuring each of the 46 deftly drawn images of which 11 are signed is of considerable quality. </p> <p>Francesco Novelli 1764-1836 vividly and imaginatively illustrated Algarotti's Opere 1791-94 assisting his father Don Quixote 1819 and Gil Blas 1820. He is also known for illustrating works such as the Fasti Veneziani 1794 hinting at his abiding interest in the theatre and the performing arts. </p> <p>One of Novelli's most important teachers was the French artist Vivant Denon who visited Venice in the 1790s. Denon seems to have had a formative influence on Novelli's career not least because he introduced his pupil to the engravings of Rembrandt. This rare and exceptional collection provides a wonderful insight into Italian theatre in its golden age. The album includes an incomparable collection of Novelli's watercolours with the greatest number being piquant images of a Venetian troupe of the commedia dell'arte with especially fine depictions of Pierrot himself as well as other key figures such as Columbine and Harlequin. It includes a remarkable series of scenes from a stage play as well as studies of the individual performers. Indeed many of these images are so precisely rendered that it is likely that Novelli depicts a well-known troupe perhaps one with which he was personally connected.</p> <p>The remaining images cover all aspects of contemporary life including several military vignettes perhaps scenes from the diorama as well as charming rural scenes. Several show Novelli's work at its most sympathetic especially in his animated studies of street vendors and town squares. It is also likely that many of these scenes derive from a period when the troupe was on the road especially as some of the liveliest show street performers conjurors and Punch and Judy shows. These scenes reveal Novelli at the height of his powers especially his skill in capturing the energy and fascination of the crowds that gathered to watch the impromptu performances.</p> <p>Unpublished although the compilation of the album suggests that publication might originally have been Novelli's intention. This is a superb collection of images by one of the pre-eminent artists of his generation providing an insight into Novelli's involvement with the Venetian theatre as well as giving a unique opportunity to study the daily life of a travelling group of European artists and musicians at the turn of the nineteenth century.</p> <p>Make-up of the album:-</p> <p>• three portraits of peasants:</p> <p>• a fishmonger with his left sleeve hanging loose</p> <p>• a peasant women with a cob of corn</p> <p>• a profile of a woman in an elaborate scarf</p> <p>• a uniformed cuirassier rejects the entreaty of a woman</p> <p>• a lively scene at the market with a grenadier a Pierrot and a harlequin</p> <p>• a crowd gathers around a conjuror in the town square</p> <p>• children animatedly watch a Punch and Judy show</p> <p>• a street performer shows a dancing bear while an urchin shows a monkey</p> <p>• two small round scenes:</p> <p>• the first of a cavalry charge</p> <p>• the second a peaceful domestic scene around the hearth</p> <p>• an infantry charge perhaps a real scene or a diorama</p> <p>• three generations of women interior</p> <p>• a lively outdoors scene of the stables</p> <p>• two women work inside a darkened barn</p> <p>• four liveried horses with a cart full of hay</p> <p>• two small round scenes:</p> <p>• a scene in the yard of a hostelry</p> <p>• cooking in a well-provisioned kitchen</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• infants and burghers at a Punch and Judy show</p> <p>• small children crowd around an itinerant projectionist</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• dancing a lively jig</p> <p>• the children of the house at lessons</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• a muzzled bear is made to dance</p> <p>• masked members of a commedia dell'arte troupe enjoy a repast</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• a corpulent gent mounts his horse</p> <p>• a befrocked gentleman loses his hat in an impromptu swing</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• a mother with swaddled child and infant greets some friends</p> <p>• a game of cards</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• Pierrot chased by a 'dog'</p> <p>• Pierrot discovers Harlequin and Columbine with stylized cartouche but no caption</p> <p>• three medium square scenes:</p> <p>• the 'dog' seems to have caught Pierrot</p> <p>• Pierrot greets Columbine</p> <p>• Pierrot astride the 'dog'</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• a strongman lifts four children on a table by his teeth</p> <p>• Columbine's lover hides by pretending to be a sofa</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• Pierrot performs a balancing act</p> <p>• Pierrot discovers Harelquin and Columbine asleep</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• Pierrot accosted by a Satyr</p> <p>• Pierrot offers his hat to the 'dog'</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• an acrobat assumes a pose</p> <p>• a different acrobat stands on his hands</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• a female contortionist performs a trick with four glasses and a hoop</p> <p>• a female acrobat balances on the low-wire</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• one of the troupe strikes a pose</p> <p>• Pierrot discovers a skeleton in his closet</p> <p>• two small square scenes:</p> <p>• the skeleton torments Pierrot at table</p> <p>• Pierrot poses</p> </p> . unknown

14200123<p>This exquisite miniature is by Cristoforo Cortese the most accomplished Venetian illuminator of the early fifteenth century. Executed during the formative stage of his career it once formed part of a sumptuous Camaldolese Gradual. The bearded prophet set within an initial I is rendered with Cortese's hallmark precision: expressive features painted with delicate strokes highlighted with red-rimmed haloes and radiant yellow tones. These qualities firmly align the work with Cortese's early output before 1420.</p><p>The stylistic vocabulary recalls both Florentine models and Venetian innovations. Cortese clearly drew upon the influence of Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci whose Choir Books for San Michele in Murano 1392–1399 provided prototypes for half-length prophet figures. Yet Cortese's interpretation more vibrant and emotive shows the confident individuality that would earn him recognition as the pioneer of Venetian Renaissance illumination.</p><p>The palette dominated by blues reds and yellows closely parallels related cuttings: a Bust Portrait of a Bearded Man in the Getty's Compendium moralium notabilium MS Ludwig XIV 8 f. 34v; a Saint John the Evangelist in the Victoria and Albert Museum inv.

Bound in contemporary Venetian morocco elaborately gold tooled gold block-printed foliate pastedowns. Edge wear and minor rubbing to spine and boards manuscript loose in binding oxidizing to edges of pastedowns. Marginal flaws to frontispiece illumination just touching border in places a few small wormholes elsewhere minor handsoiling.<br /></p><p>Finely illuminated early 18th-century Venetian manuscript issued by the city's Magistrato alla Sanità Health Department as a license to certify the physician Antonio Damugliano d. 1747 to practice medicine in the Venetian Republic using his propriety formula for topical salves <i>balsami</i> to treat "wounds and ulcers" f. 3v-3r. The manuscript ornately written out and decorated in gold and colored ink opens with a full-page image of the winged Lion of San Marco in the Venetian landscape which serves as an official seal of the document's authenticity and is inscribed by five <i>Provveditori</i> of the Magistrato and one notary who witnessed the certification.</p><p>This pharmaceutical license represents a rare material survival of how Venice's Magistrato alla Sanità regulated the practice of medicine in its territories even down to the level of controlling how individual practitioners could work with specific drugs. Damugliano presumably was required to keep the document on his person while plying his trade and to present it to the relevant authorities or even to his patients should his practice be called into question. The text of the document is written out twice – first in Italian and then in Latin – to suit the linguistic preferences of both the common Venetian citizen and the professional medical class.</p><p>Damugliano also known as Antimo Damulianos is noted in the document dated April 1717 as being a native of the Ionian island of Zante or Zakynthos at the time a Venetian colony and having recently returned from Moscow "where with good success and for a long time he practiced medicine with full official permission of many noteworthy people" f. 2v. Damugliano is said to have studied medicine in Europe likely in Italy specializing in contagious diseases and eventually practicing in Asia Minor Persia India China Egypt Constantinople and Trieste and to have been ordered by Emperor Charles VI 1685-1740 to treat the sick of a plague outbreak in Corinth see L. Zoes passim. Damugliano's name is also associated with a 1725 treatise entitled 'Medicina' which circulated in manuscript form in Venice and dealt with the use of salves pills and stones to treat hydrophobia see L. Zoes; we have been unable to locate a copy of this treatise. Damugliano is also recorded as having worked in Vienna where an April 1746 news magazine comments that the "very famous" Damugliano having traveled through numerous kingdoms has arrived to demonstrate the curative powers of "the wondrous Chinese stone called Bezoar" which is effective against fevers snake bites fatigue colic etc. <i>Nachtrag</i> p. 64. The bezoar stone an indigestible mass formed in the digestive tract of ruminants was lauded from the middle ages as a universal antidote to poison.</p><p> R.

149325186Nuremberg: Anton Koberger for Sebald Screyer and Sebastian Kammermeister 1493. First Edition with the Latin text the bifolium with fine hand-colouring to the Venice view. This is one of the large double-page city-view woodcuts from the workshop of Mighael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff beneith 24 lines of text. The view of Venice was adapted from the 1486 woodcut by Erhard Reuwich in the Sanctae Perigrinationes. It is handsomely and finely handcoloured in blues greens yellows reds grays etc. Double-page folio ca. 540 x 364 mm handsomely mounted framed and glazed. Leaves XLIII and XLIIII. In fine condition and very well preserved and presented. FROM THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE ARGUABLY THE GREATEST ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF THE 15TH CENTURY. The artists Michael Wolgemut the well-known teacher of Albrecht Dürer and his stepson Wilhelm Pleydenwurff have been praised and admired for over five-hundred years for their contributions to one of the monuments of early printing. David Bland calls it "a marvelous book and a landmark in the history of illustration" and through the ages it has more than fulfilled Koberger's prophecy that it would be "the delight of the men of learning and of everyone who had any education at all."<br> HIGHLY IMPORTANT INCUNABLE the “Nuremberg Chronicle†is the most extensively illustrated book of the fifteenth century and after the Gutenberg Bible the most celebrated book printed in the fifteenth century. Its 1809 woodcut illustrations 1164 excluding repeats depict popes saints and other religious figures kings and emperors historical and biblical genealogies mythological and fanciful creatures natural phenomena and views of all the major cities of the known world as well as a brilliant creation sequence. In addition to the full-sheet maps of the world and of Europe twenty-nine city views such as this one span two pages and eight other cuts excluding the xylographic title page are full-page. The colophon explicitly acknowledges the contributions of the artists Michael Wolgemut and Wilhelm Pleydenwurff. Albrecht Dürer was at that time a pupil in Wolgemut's workshop and there is good evidence that he did many of the preliminary drawings for woodcuts and may even have cut some of them see Adrian Wilson THE MAKING OF THE NUREMBERG CHRONICLE. Anton Koberger, for Sebald Screyer and Sebastian Kammermeister unknown
