About This Item
RARE C18TH COUNTERFAIT EDITION
8vo, pp. [16], 293, [1]. Italic letter, sporadic Roman. Printer's device on t-p, head and tailpieces, register and imprint of verso of final leaf. C18th stiff vellum, edges sprinkled in green. Gilt lettering over red morocco label to spine. An excellent copy.
Counterfeit issue from the 18th century, probably printed in Venice by the bookseller Pavino, of the Italian vernacular translation by humanist Pietro Lauro, which was printed by Giolito in the 16th century. Dedication to Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. The Interpretation of Dreams is a theoretical and practical encyclopaedia of dreams divided in 5 books, written in ancient Greek in the second century AD; a compendium of the whole ancient and complex Greek tradition on this subject, which in the modern world was placed at the centre of all psychology and proved to be an inexhaustible source of knowledge and mysteries. This is the oldest book on dreams and their interpretation, a text so highly esteemed by Sigmund Freud that the father of modern psychoanalysis used the same title for his most famous work.
See S. Bongi, Annali di Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari, Roma, 1890, I, p.145; EDIT16 CNCE 26225 (CNCE 3214 – identification number of the the original edition).
