Description:
Venice: Apresso Bartolomeo Carampello, 1581. SECOND EDITION (1st 1570), seen through the press by Palladio's son, Silla. Hardcover. Fine. An attractive, unsophisticated copy, bound in contemporary vellum (re-used from an identified Hebrew manuscript, the text of which is on the inward facing side of the manuscript leaf and can be vaguely discerned.) Aside from discreet repairs to the vellum, a copy with no interventions, the condition very appealing. Binding soiled with defects to spine and corners, original rawhide ties largely intact. The text is overall very fresh with minor signs of use: contents shaken with very slight curling at the fore-edge of the opening gatherings, light wear and soiling to the first leaf, with a small (15 mm.) worm-trail in the blank margin; scattered light marginal damp-stains, some finger-soiling at the margins on various leaves, a few light ink stains; small defect to the lower corner of the final leaf (without touching the text or illustration.) Provenance: Jacopo…

Description:
[N.P, N.D.]: ca, 1774. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Image size (from plate mark): 121.2 x 71.1 cm. A fine impression, tiny area of blank left margin neatly repaired, some marginal finger-soiling. With no staining or discoloration where the three sheets are joined. Paper with watermark of a fleur-de-lis within a double circle. Piranesi's map extends the area covered by the Nolli plan as far north as the Ponte Milvio. Piranesi has made the important innovation of identifying 402 archaeologically important sites, keyed to his own works on ancient Rome. "By the mid-1770's, at the height of his career, Piranesi had produced a comprehensive record of ancient and modern Rome in the form of the well over a hundred plates of the 'Vedute di Roma'. He may have felt the need for a reference map to accompany collections of these plates and devised this work, usually found in associations with the 'Vedute', to fill this need. Exercising his skills in presenting formidable quantities of information coherently,…

SECOND GIUNTA EDITION (1st 1519).
A tall, unsophisticated copy, in its original limp vellum binding (vellum stained, lacking ties, short split to upper hinge). The text is in very good condition with intermittent foxing, heavier in some gatherings.
A compendium of ancient geographical texts, including descriptions of the known world by Pomponius Mela, Dionysius Periegetes, and Gaius Julius Solinus. Shorter texts include a catalogue of the regions within the city of Rome, "De regionibus urbis Romae" by "Publius Victor".

The name was coined by Pomponius Leto of the Roman Academy.The volume was edited by Antonio Francino (1480- after 1537), a scholar of great talent, who taught in the households of important Florentines, and who produced,… Read More
