About This Item
Napoli: Dai tipi di Cirillo, 1843. Very Good. 14cm; 9 parts in 3 volumes, each with separate title page and pagination: 108, 108, 108; 94, 96, 96; 96, 108, 100 pages. Woodcut frontispiece portrait of Manzoni. Leather spines over green percoline embossed with vine scroll motif. Gilt titles and ornaments on spines. Pink endleaves.
Reproduces the text of the 1827 version of the great Italian historical novel. Manzoni, frustrated by piracies and attentive to the powers of language to help create political unity, had revised the 1827 text into a more "Florentine" version, published in 1840. This charming Naples imprint shows that the original version remained current alongside the later version.

About Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio
Rodger Friedman Rare Book Studio owes its name and its inspiration to the traditional Italian studio bibliografico. These small antiquarian bookshops, typically run by individuals who combine deep scholarship with a love of the printed object, remind us that underlying the words "study" and "studio" is the Latin term for zeal and devotion, studium. Since 1993, my goal has been to match discerning collectors with extraordinary books and manuscripts.
