First title a little smudged and foxed a few other trivial imperfections but A REMARKABLY FRESH CLEAN AND SMOOTH COPY INTERNALLY AND WITH FINE IMPRESSIONS OF THE CUTS.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractive copy with distinguished provenance of two works with considerable data relating to and shedding substantial light on the politics government provincial administration and military establishment of Rome as well as other aspects of Roman life. The first work here is an anonymous early fifth century Roman state handbook more commonly known as the "Notitia Dignitatum" edited by Siegmund Ghelen Gelenius ca. 1477 - ca. 1554 and Beatus Rhenanus 1485-1547 from a lost Medieval manuscript. It is arranged according to the provinces of the Roman Empire and their cities. The second work is a synopsis of Roman history from Romulus through the reign of Habsburg emperor Charles V in the 15th century. Its first section is based on the "fasti consulares" inscriptions from the Arch of Augustus in the Roman forum listing all Roman consuls from 483 B.C. to 19 A.D. These relics were discovered in the 1540s when the forum was being quarried for building materials. The compiler of this work Panvinio 1529-68 was an Augustinian monk devoted to antiquarian studies who spent considerable time in Italy recording inscriptions on ancient monuments medals and other surfaces. He recognized the "fasti consulares" fragments recovered from the ruins and worked frantically to save them. They were restored by Michelangelo and added to the collection of what became the Capitoline Museum. Panvinio also used the coins and medals collected by Strada the publisher as a source for this compilation. A considerable portion of the interest and value in this volume today resides in the woodcuts. Copied from the original illustrations in an early manuscript of the work now lost; the cuts in the first work include many depictions of books showing several different kinds of decorated bindings. The illustrations also provide many details of Roman dwellings costumes and objects used in private religious and military life. Excepting the fact that they have produced books on basically the same subject our two printers could hardly be more different. Whereas the Swiss Froben was one of the giants of Renaissance printing and a great promoter of learning the Venetian Strada apparently spent much of his time speculating in the antiques market being one of the first merchants to make a business of selling Italian antiques to foreigners. Our copy comes from the collection of the great bibliophile Antoine Moriau 1699-1759 who leased the stately Hôtel d'Angoulême Lamoignon in Paris to house his library of 14000 books and more than 2000 manuscripts. The second work here is rare. Hieronymus Froben, 1552; Venice: Jacopo Strada unknown

18004585<p>Single broadsheet 60 x 44.5 cm folded. A very good copy.<br /></p><p>A rare survival of such an ephemeral piece unrecorded on ICCU: a large broadside issued during the nine-month occupation of Rome following the fall of the Roman Republic and proclaiming a complete revision of the running of the city's public market to prevent "hoarders and scalpers" from inflating food prices beyond the means of the "most sensitive" members of the populace during this tumultuous period.</p><p>The edict instructs for example all retailers of vegetables and fruits to arrange contracts exclusively during daylight hours and only under their official banners; any retailers found bringing or intending to bring wholesalers into the marketplace will be considered in contravention of the law. Retailers are also prohibited from forming collective buying groups which lead to 'infamous monopolies'. Further regulations touch on sellers of poultry interactions between retailers and wholesalers and the physical locations of permitted activities. The trades in domestic pigeons and wild game however are exempted from these stringent regulations.<br /><br />The broadsheet also gives details of the enforcement of the new rules. Anyone not complying with the regulations after three days of their posting will suffer the consequences and trials of the accused will take place between 22 and 24 hours and for 1 hour the following morning in the market square itself. The penalties are stiff: for the first offence 25 scudi; for the second 50 scudi and a public beating; while the third warrants a 100 scudi fine and 5 years of public labor. Fines will also be imposed for passing false currency. The edict ends with a stern public hygiene order reminding all retailers of the prohibition of fish-selling in the marketplace. The public is also ordered to make use of the fountains in a civilised manner and not to throw rubbish into the fountain or onto the streets.</p><p>The Piazza Navona became the official market square of Rome in the 15th century and remained so until the 1860s when the site was transferred to the Campo de' Fiori. Produced during a period of tremendous political upheavel the present document provides us with a surprisingly intimate insight into the problems of running such an enormous concern. As the broadside notes the Papal Government had formerly been responsible for the orderly running of the marketplace but in 1798 the short-lived Roman Republic based upon the principles of the French Revolution had seized power and exiled the Pope. According to the document many "abuses" were committed during the "so-called" Republican tenure and indeed the "greed and malice of those who have been able to evade the rules" has led to the need for tighter regulation. Today it complains many dealers hoard more than they sell rendering public markets 'inutili' and driving food prices far higher than they should be in turn affecting the "most sensitive" segment of the population. The present edict was issued under the authority of His Excellency Diego Naselli a Neapolitan commander whose troops had invaded the Republic in September 1799. However by July 3rd seven months after the edict's publication the city was returned to the authority of the Pope.</p><p> Unrecorded in ICCU or OCLC.</p> Lazzarini
