RALPH, Benjamin/ DORIGNY, Nicolas, ed
The School of Raphael; or, the Student!s Guide to Expression in Historical Painting. Illustrated by Examples engraved by Duchange, and others, under the inspection of Sir Nicholas Dorigny, from his own Drawings after the most celebrated Heads in the
|
London: John Boydell, 1782. Rare, extra-illustrated second edition of an artist!s drawing manual based on the !most celebrated heads! from Raphael!s Sistine Chapel tapestry cartoons, which William and Mary had Sir Christopher Wren install in their own gallery at Hampton Court (later transferred to V & A.) Although eagerly studied by 18th century British artists as the fons et origo of academic art, the cartoons proved controversial with the advent of stronger artistic personalities. It is no accident that Sir Joshua Reynolds published an influential article during in 1759, when the first editionj of the present work appeared. "Eager to find faults in Raphael's Cartoons, Reynolds's "Connoisseur" uses them to air his familiarity with academic rules and modern art theory, citing the "Line of Beauty and Grace", the need for variety, and the virtues of pyramidal design.! (Krysmanski).The School of Raphael!s 102 plates show moods ranging from Affection (in Christ!s Charge to Peter) to Zeal (Elymas the Sorcerer). The volume also includes !THE OUTLINES of each HEAD,! (unnumbered and interleaved with plates 1-45). These Raphael heads were drawn by Nicolas Dorigny, and engraved by the best known reproductive printers of the era.. The book also included !several PLATES of the Most celebrated Antique Statues, Skeletons and Anatomical Figures, Engraved by an Eminent Artist,! (plates I-XII). This copy of The School of Raphael is extra-illustrated with four large-scale engravings of nudes in classical poses and landscapes. They were drawn and engraved by the prolific Bernard Picart (1673-1733), and likely come from a larger volume of anatomy studies (numbers 60, 62-3, 66).The present edition is known to have been in the library of Sir John Soane. OCLC: LoC, UChicago, Art Institute of Chicago, Winterthur, MMA.*Catalogue of the Library of Sir John Soane!s Museum, London, 1878, p 312; Krysmanski, "Benjamin Ralph's School of Raphael (1759): Praise for Hogarth and a Direct Source for Reynolds", British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies, 24 (Spring 2001), 15-32.. Folio [42.8 x 28.5 cm], [6], 21, [1] p., XI [i.e. XII], 102 leaves of plates from Dorigny!s drawings after Raphael (45 in outline), 12 on geometry, anatomy and antique sculpture, and four extra-illustrated leaves by B. Picart. Bound in nineteenth-century half calf and marbled boards with leather corners. Rubbing to spine, boards and edges, with a partial library sticker on front pastedown. Very occasional foxing to leaves and plates, a few graphite annotations in margins; order of several plates near end transposed.

It reproduces miniatures from two important ancient virgilian Mss. in the Vatican Library, the Vergilius Vaticanus (Vat. Lat. 3225) and the Codex Romanus (Vat. Lat. 3867). The first of these manuscrips was formerly in the posession of Pontano, Bembo and Fulvio Orsini before being deposited in the Vatican in 1602. An edition based on this manuscript was prepared by the librarian G. C. Bottari (1689-1775) and appeared in 1741, reproducing engravings of the miniatures by Pietro Sancto Bartoli and fragments of the text. This edition contains over twice as many engravings as the 1741 edition, besides engravings based on the two manuscripts mentioned earlier, it also contains illustrations taken from antique gems and sculptures. Most of the illustrations are unsigned, but artists of the others include Corvi, Lanci, Giusti and de Rossi, while the engravers include Benedetti, Giardoni, Carloni, Bombelli, Barbazza, Beheim, Morgalli and Baratti.

FLECHIER, Esprit
Recueil des Oraisons Funebres, pronuncées par Messire...
|
Lione Frères Perisse 1782 8vo; Leg. coeva p. pelle bruna marmoriz., fregi in oro sul dorso, dentelle, risg. in carta marmoriz.; pp. XVI, 218, (2), leg. cart. dec. coeva. Bella edizione con le più celebri orazioni funebri di Fléchier, fra cui quelle di Turenne e del Duca de Montausier che sono considerate le migliori. Apre l'opera un elogio storico dello scrittore (fino a p. XVI), seguono le orazioni, che riguardano nell'ordine: Madame la duchesse de Montausier - Madame la Duchesse d'Aiguillon - M. de Turenne - M. le premier Président de Lamoignon - Marie Thérèse d'Autriche, Reine de France - M. Michel Le Tellier, Chancellier de France - Madame la Dauphine - M. le Duc de Montausier. Esprit Flechier (1632-1710), Vescovo di Nimes, ebbe un'infanzia povera, frequentò l'hôtel Rambouillet, divenne vice-precettore, in seguito lettore del Delfino ed elemosiniere di Mme la Delfina. Poeta francese e latino, oratore sacro, fu nominato all'Accademia nel 1672 e fu ammesso il 5 dicembre 1673, lo stesso giorno di Racine e Gallois. Il suo discorso oscurò quello di Racine, che parlò dopo di lui. Rimane famoso soprattutto per le sue orazioni funebri, genere che portò al livello più raffinato, rivaleggiando con lo stesso Bossuet, suo contemporaneo. Tracce d'uso e qualche escoriazione sulla legatura, internamente ottimo stato di conservazione.

Dionisio Longino
Trattato l'Aureo Dionisio Longino
|
Marcuzzi Piero 1782 - L?AUREO TRATTATO DI DIONISIO LONGINO INTORNO AL SUBLIME MODO DI PARLARE E DI SCRIVERE TRADOTTO DAL GRECO DA ANTON FRANCESCO GORI EDIZIONE ILLUSTRATA. Trattato ad opera di Longino, ritenuto a lungo essere Longino Cassio (213-273) filosofo e retore greco o Longino Dionisio; poich?er? paternit?i quest?opera non ?itenuta certa dalla critica moderna, l?autore ?ggi denominato Pseudo-Longino. Il Trattato noto come Del Sublime, risale iprobabilmente al primo secolo AD, in quanto ?tato scritto allo scopo di confutare le teorie di Cecilio, retore siciliano del medesimo periodo, la cui opera Longino definisce in modo dispregiativo: ?Trattatello? L?A. intende per Sublime il termine greco hypsos, vale a dire l?eccellenza nel linguaggio, l?espressione di un grande spirito e il potere di ammaliare e commuovere il lettore. Il Sublime si oppone allo stile ampolloso, alla sciocca vanit?al sentimentalismo e alla freddezza. L?A. inoltre sostiene che la grandezza del pensiero, se non ?nnata, pu?sere acquisita mediante l?emulazione dei suoi modelli, tra i quali Omero, Demostene e Platone. Le frequenti citazioni di grandi autori classici hanno anche il merito di aver preservato testi altrimenti perduti, come una delle odi di Saffo (pag. 29). Contiene anche: Discorso d?Anton Francesco Gori intorno alla sua traduzione e all?opera e alla persona di Dionisio Longino. volume in-8° piccolo, legatura d?attesa, piccola etichetta con titolo scritto a mano sul dorso. Pagine [20] + 120 Incisione in nero, in calcografia, posta in antiporta, riportante una citazione tradotta dal latino. Incisione in nero, in calcografia, sul frontespizio, raffigurante Dedalo che sta terminando l?ala destra per darla al figlio Icaro, che ?mpaziente di spiccare il volo: il motto in greco, sostiene che?tutte le cose belle sono ardue e malagevoli?

Réunion complète des trois séries de ce monument de la littérature du XVIIIe siècle, complet des 283 fines estampes à pleine page dessinées par Binet sous la direction de Restif, dont 10 dépliantes. La rareté des figures s'explique par le fait qu'elles étaient très recherchées (particulièrement celle de la IIIe série) par les modistes et les couturiers, non seulement en France mais aussi à l'étranger où Restif était considéré comme le grand arbitre de la mode française. L'auteur dut se défendre en justice contre plusieurs plaintes en diffamation déposées par des parisiennes qui se sentaient « dépeintes sous d?assez tristes couleurs ». L'exemplaire est composé ainsi : Deuxième éditon de la Ie série avec 113 figures (le vol. 17 est de la première édition,1782). « Cette seconde édition plus rare que la première est d'ailleurs très importante par les corrections et les additions que l'auteur à faite au texte, comme les pièces supplémentaires ajoutées à la fin des volumes » (P.

"Lavaters Weigerung, die einzelnen Schreiben aus ihrem individuellen Zuschnitt herauszulösen und zu einer allgemeinen Religions- und Sittenlehre umzuschmelzen, zeugt von einer Individualitätsauffassung, wie sie für den Sturm und Drang charakteristisch ist" (Brüggemann). – Titel mit handschriftl.

Il faut ajouter que l'ouvrage, anonyme, est très critique à l'égard de l'action de l'amiral d'Estaing. Il est vrai que le choix de s'emparer de Saint-Vincent et de la Grenade après avoir renoncé à s'emparer de Newport, puis son échec ultérieur à Savannah, donnent à son action un bilan controversé. Bon exemplaire. Chadenat, 2096. Gephart, Revolutionary America, 7188.

George Washington
Washington to His Confidant James McHenry: "Do not my dear Doctor tease your Mistress in this manner"
|
Autograph Letter Signed, Newburgh, NY 1782 - Please inquire about receiving a copy of our Washington catalog. Summary: Washington's highly personal letter, showing a glimpse of the man behind the otherwise stolid image. Dr. James McHenry served as Washington's secretary from 1778 to 1780, as a volunteer without rank or pay. Their friendship remained strong even after McHenry left to become aide-de-camp to the Marquis de Lafayette. At this point, after victory at Yorktown, Americans were awaiting news of a final peace treaty from Paris. Washington remained at the head of the Continental Army, warily watching British General Sir Henry Clinton's army in New York City. George Washington. Autograph Letter Signed, to Major James McHenry, Newburgh, NY, August 15, 1782. 2 p. Complete Transcript: Newburgh 15.th Aug.t 1782 My dear McHenry, Let me congratulate you, and I do it very sincerely, on your restoration to health._ I was in pain for you._ I was in some for myself - and wished for my PS of M--- ; and both my P----e L----s. in J----; resolving (like a man in the last agony) not to follow the trade & occupation of a G----. any more. I attribute all the delays, & my disappointments in this business, to your sickness; for otherwise, I should denominate you an unfeeling - teasing - mortal._ In proof of it, I would assert that in March last, I committed a matter to your care of which you took no notice till July following; -and then in such a way, as to set afloat a thousand ideas; which resolved themselves into almost as many anxious questions._ These again, you acknowledge the rect. of on the 26.th of July, - and on the 3.d of August promise an answer._ When? _When? _ three or four Weeks from that date ; during this time my imagination is left on the Rack._ I remain in the field of conjecture. - unable to acct. for the causes of somethings, or to judge of their effect;_ In a word, I cannot develop some misteries, the appearance of which gave rise to those quæries, which were made the contents of a letter. Do not my dear Doctor tease your Mistress in this manner - much less your Wife, when you get one._ The first will pout, _& the other may scold - a friend will bear with it, especially one who assures you, with as much truth as I do, that he is sincere. Adieu. G:oWashington James McHenry Esq.r [autograph address leaf:] "(Private) / James McHenry Esq.r / Baltimore. [Docketing in McHenry's hand:] "Aug 15th 1782 / Washington Historical Background: The best guess at Washington's cryptic second line is: "I. wished for my [Peace of Mind] . resolving (like a man in the last agony) not to follow the trade & occupation of a G[eneral] any more." His letter of "March last" and McHenry's letters of July 26 and August 3 are not listed in the Washington Papers, so we don't know what this was really about. But we do know that Washington was eagerly awaiting the final peace treaty and the opportunity to return to his private life at Mount Vernon. To help describe this point of the war, the following excerpt is taken from another letter Washington wrote to McHenry, a month prior, on July 18, 1782: "At present, we are inveloped in darkness; and no Man, I believe, can foretell all the consequences which will result from the Naval action in the West Indies. to say no worse of it, it is an unfortunate affair. and if the States cannot, or will not rouse to more vigorous exertions, they must submit to the consequences. Providence has done much for us in this contest, but we must do something for ourselves, if we expect to go triumphantly through with it." Later, as president, Washington sought McHenry's advice and help finding candidates for important posts. In 1796, Washington selected McHenry to be the nation's third Secretary of War. James McHenry (1753-1816) was born in Ballymena, County Antrim, Ireland, and educated in Dublin. He emigrated to America in 1771 and studied medicine with Dr. Benjamin Rush in Philadelphia. McHenry volunteered for military service on behalf of the colonies when hostil

Ambedue le carte, allegate a titolo esplicativo del testo, sono tratte dall'Opera "Piano di operazioni idrauliche per ottenere la massima depressione del lago di Sesto o sia di Bientina" di Leonardo Ximenes (Lucca, presso Francesco Bonsignori, 1782).

Prima del frontespizio è allegata una carta, con compilazione manoscritta al recto e al verso, contenente alcune notazioni riferite al testo. Ambedue i volumi in ottime condizioni di conservazione, su carta greve. Giovanni Attilio Arnolfini (Lucca, 15 ottobre 1733 ? 21 novembre 1791), idrologo e scrittore, compì gli studi di teologia e giurisprudenza a Roma, per poi divenire magistrato, nel 1761 e in seguito sopraintendente alle acque della Repubblica di Lucca. Di lui parla in termini estremamente lusinghieri il celebre astronomo G.Girolamo De la Lande (1732-1807), che a seguito di una visita a Lucca ricorda testualmente: "Par mi le personnes distinguées que j'ai connues, je dois citer M.Jean Attilio Arnolfini, préposé à l'inspection des eaux et des canaux; on ne pourroit trouver dans le plus grandes capitales un homme plus instruit dans les sciences mathématiques et plus exercé dans les arts de gout, tels que la musique.". (Cfr. Sforza "Ricordi e Biografie lucchesi", pg.XXXIII). Oltre ai suoi molteplici lavori idrologici nel territorio lucchese, si occupò di analoghe questioni per il fiume Reno, su incarico di Papa Pio VI, a Terranova e compì apprezzate consulenze presso molte corti europee. Eustachio Zanotti (Bologna, 27 novembre 1709 ? Bologna, 15 maggio 1782), astronomo e ingegnere idraulico, fu Segretario dell'Istituto delle Scienze di Bologna, membro delle Accademie di Berlino, Londra, Napoli, Padova e Kassel e Socio dell'Accademia dei Quaranta. Si devono a lui importanti studi sulle comete, sulle eclissi solari e lunari, sulle aurore boreali, oltre al restauro nel 1776 della meridiana della basilica di San Petronio a Bologna. Si tratta di due fondamentali documenti per la ultrasecolare storia delle bonifiche del territorio compreso tra il Lago di Bientina o Sesto e il Mar Tirreno. Questo un sunto della complessa vicenda, tratta dal sito dell'Archivio di Stato di Lucca: "Le frequentissime inondazioni delle acque che si raccoglievano nel bacino di Sesto o di Bientina, ed il loro continuo allargarsi a danno dei terreni lucchesi e pisani, per causa dell'inalzamento dei letti del Serchio e dell'Arno, fecero in più tempi pensare a nuovi partiti per ottenerne lo scolo.

o.J. (sp. 18. Jh.), - in-4to, 588 num. S. in losen Lagen von handgezogenem Papier, von einer Hand in leserlicher Notarsschrift verfasste Kopien in deutscher und französischer Sprache, Bl. teils leicht gebräunt, Kiebitzpapiermappe mit 6 Schliessbändern aus Leinen u. handschrftl. Deckelschild, guter Zustand. Umfangreiche zeitgenössische Abschrift aus der Hand eines erfahrenen und sorgfältigen Schreibers, dem sämtliche Quellen zur Verfügung standen und der sowohl die deutsche wie französische Sprache perfekt beherrschte. Vielleicht ein Staatskanzler oder anderer Ratsherr aus Zürich. Wie in andern Teilen der Schweiz, so kommt es auch in Genf in der 2. Hälfte des 18. Jh. vermehrt zu Unruhen. Der Genfer Oligarchie gelang es 1782 ein letztes Mal sich mit Hilfe seiner Bündnispartner Frankreich, Sardiniens und Bern gegen die eigenen Bürger und Untertanen durchzusetzen. Die vorliegenden Abschriften bestehen zu einem grossen Teil aus der Korrespondenz zwischen den Bündnisparteien und deren Austausch mit andern europäischen Mächten wie z.B. Preussen. Sie stammen aus dem Zeitraum zwischen dem 25. September 1769 und dem 12. Juni 1782. [Attributes: Hard Cover]
