About This Item
In Venezia ed in Milano: Michel' Antonio Panza, 1741.
Second edition revised and augmented. 4to. 16, 266 pp. Contemporary limp vellum showing some wear, with a minor repair to the lower part of the spine; some light foxing to the text.
Biblioteca Italiana, the first catalogue of its kind published as a guide for collectors, was originally published by Haym in 1726 in London for the benefit of English collectors and librarians. It was highly successful and was reprinted in Italy several times. It is based on the work of Giusto Fontanini, the noted Italian librarian, collector, and author, who wrote and compiled a catalogue describing books from the collection of Cardinal Imperiali that was published in 1711.
Haym arranged his catalogue by subject for easy use and quick reference and includes descriptions of over 3500 titles. His work is introduced by an essay on Italian printing by Fontanini dated 1706 and is notable for its geographical table of contents and an extensive index. It became a standard work for most of the 18th century.
