La pagination revient en arrière à 204 jusqu'à 210, puis reprend à 233. Nouvelle erreur après la page 561, qui au verso passe à 512 et poursuit jusqu'à la fin. Le tout sans manque.    Importante édition, tant le genre du poème appelle les commentaires et l'érudition. La première semaine et la seconde sont des poèmes encyclopédiques qui suivent le déroulement de la Genèse et proposent au lecteur la somme des connaissances du monde. La poésie de du Bartas eut un immense succès en son temps, peut - être parce qu'on y trouvait également une foule d'enseignements sur les anciens, la science, les inventions. Goethe en fut un fervent admirateur, elle fut moins goûtée par la suite en France, qui la jugea bonne dans ses idées mais trop débridée à son goût. La Renaissance eut beaucoup de goût pour la paraphrase et la semaine qui est déjà une forme de paraphrase de la Genèse se voit ici à son tour paraphrasée, mais cette fois par un discours scientifique qui éclaire sa mise en œuvre et les dessous de son écriture, tant sur l'astronomie, la science naturelle, la botanique, les mathématiques, que l'ensemble des savoirs qui glorifient l'homme.

En el ejemplar que ofrecemos, en cambio, con todas las hojas presentes, el espacio para la licencia papal y el anuncio al lector -las dos caras de la hoja (2 y el verso de la (5- se encuentra en blanco y la hoja (3 está mal signaturizada con la misma signatura (4 que la siguiente. La única razón posible para todo ello es que el estado del primer pliego de este ejemplar es previo a la estampación de la Licencia, del anuncio de última hora y, por lo tanto, anterior a julio de 1585. Ratificando esta hipótesis, la portada de nuestro ejemplar presenta claras variantes que solo pueden ser previas: en el pie de imprenta figura "a costa de Bartholome Grassi", sin la mención al impresor, "en la Stampa de Vincentio Accolti".

Macrobio Ambrogio Aurelio Teodosio
        In Somnium Scipionis Libri II. Eiusdem Conviviorum Saturnaliorum Libri VII. De hac editione lege ad lectorem epistolam Henrici Stephani [Henri Estienne]: à quo tibi dabuntur etiam quaedam excerpta ex eiusdem Macrobii libro, quem inscripsit De Differentiis et Societatibus Graeci Latinisque Viris
      Cum Privilegio Caesaris, et Gallorum Regis, Parisiis 1585 - In-8° (178x112mm), pp. (16), 578, (80) di indici bicolonni, legatura settecentesca p. pergamena rigida con titolo calligrafato in antico al dorso. Segnacolo, sguardie decorate a piuma di pavone. Testatine e capilettera ornati in xilografia. Precedono una dedicatoria a Iacobo Danesio, Regis in Senatu Parisiensi Consiliario ed un'epistola di Henri Estienne. Alcune macchioline al piatto. Ex-libris manoscritto antico al titolo (restayro al margine inferiore del foglio del titolo). Bell'esemplare. Cinquecentina parigina priva di indicazioni di stampatore. Nella sua epistola preliminare l'Estienne si duole che questa edizione non corrisponda ai consueti standard qualitativi delle edizioni da lui usualmente curate; egli affidò la stampa del volume a un editore che resta tuttora ignoto dopo che la sua personale stamperia era stata chiusa a Ginevra a causa della sua precaria condizione finanziaria. Per questa importante edizione l'Estienne si avvalse della lezione testuale fissata dal Camerarius, nella revisione del filologo Louis Carrion. Il gran numero di edizioni di Macrobio (IV-V secolo ca.) del XVI secolo attesta la durevole fortuna di questo autore nel Rinascimento (così come, in precedenza, nel Medioevo), in forza delle profonde conoscenze in astronomia, poetica, retorica, filosofia, geografia e matematica contenute e nel commento al Somnium Scipionis del De Republica ciceroniano e nei dialoghi eruditi simposiaci dei Saturnalia, opere che costituirono la fonte precipua del Platonismo in Europa Occidentale prima della metà del XII secolo. L'opera di Macrobio ha un suo inestimabile valore, e la sua figura sulla soglia della decadente romanità si illumina della luce particolare di uno degli estremi paladini di essa (Benedetto Riposati in Dizionario Bompiani degli Autori, II, 586-87). Mentre il commento al Somnium dibatte i temi della filosofia platonica e le teorie sul macrocosmo e il microcosmo, fondandosi forse sulle glosse di Porfirio al Timeo, i Saturnalia compongono una dotta e farraginosa enciclopedia a sfondo conviviale con evidenti reminiscenze gelliane e plutarchiane. Henri Estienne (Parigi, 1531-Lione, 1589), figlio di Robert e nipote di Henri I, fu umanista, filologo e prosecutore dell'attività tipografica familiare, curatore fra l'altro del celebre Thesaurus linguae latinae. Studioso e appassionato difensore della lingua francese, scrisse un Traité de la conformité du langage français avec le grec e Deux dialogues du noveau langage français italianisé, accesa obiurgazione del diffuso italianismo linguistico. All'Estienne si deve anche un'opera narrativa filoprotestante e anticattolica, Apologie pour Hérodote. Adams, M-71. Graesse, IV, 330. Schweiger, II, 587.

Simon, Bibliotheca Bacchica, I, p. 51; Vicaire, Bibliographie Gastronomique, col. 547 e Bitting, p. 301: The book treats of the origin of the Saturnalia, the annual festival of Saturn, a form of harvest home, the repasts, foods and their properties and usages among the ancients.

      Paris: In the shop of the widow of Martin Le Jeune, 1585 - Folio (358 x 225 mm), in two parts. Contemporary French calf, skilfully rebacked with original spine compartments laid down, compartments with gilt centre tools with gilt arms of St Albans School added either side, the second gilt-lettered, sides with leaf-form centrepieces in gilt, single gilt rule borders. Corners a little worn, a few trivial marks, but a very good, tall copy with wide margins all round. St Albans School woodcut bookplate to front pastedown. Woodcut printer's device to title, roman and Hebrew types. From the library of St Albans School, Hertfordshire, one of the oldest schools in the world. The school was founded within St Albans Abbey by Abbot Wulsin in 948 and was the first school in the world to accept lay students not intending to join a religious order. The bookplate here has the school motto Mediocra firma, used between the 16th and 20th centuries, meaning "the middle course is safe" (compare mediocritas aurea, "the golden mean"). The motto was adopted in the late 16th century by the Bacon family and used by Francis Bacon, Viscount St Alban, who spent most of his childhood at Gorhambury, near St Albans, in the substantial new house built by his father in the 1560s. Gorhambury was named after Geoffrey de Gorham [Gorron, near Le Mans, Maine, France], who was Master and subsequently Abbot of St Albans in the 12th century. The school coat of arms is composed of the cross of Saint Alban together with the school motto. The cross of Saint Alban is a saltire, signifying that Alban was martyred but beheaded, not crucified. As the meaning of "mediocrity" later took on a pejorative slant, the school has since changed its motto to Non nobis nati ("Born not for ourselves"), adapted from that of Geoffrey de Gorham. Gilbert Génébrard (1535–1597), Archbishop of Aix, was a French Benedictine exegete and Orientalist, who translated many rabbinic writings into Latin. His sacred chronology was first published as Genebrardus, Chronographia in duos libros distincta (Louvain: Johann Foulerum, 1572). It is continued here by Arnaud de Pontac (d. 1605). This is the second edition from the shop of Martin Le Jeune (Juvenis), one of the leading 16th-century Christian Hebrew printers in Paris, who died about 1584. The title to the second part has his name as the printer, dated 1584; the general title is dated 1585, "apud viduam".

Justinianus (römischer Kaiser von 527-569 n. Chr.) ließ diese Zusammenfassung der Rechtsüberlieferung der Römer zwischen 528 und 534 n. Chr. von zahlreichen Rechtsgelehrten erarbeiten. In den Jahren 533/534 wurde das Werk in drei Teilen („Institutiones“, „Digesta“ bzw. „Pandectae“ u. „Codex Justinianus“) verkündet und später (534-565) durch einen vierten Teil („Novellae“) zum Codex, schrittweise erweitert. Die Bezeichnung „Corpus juris civilis“ ist erst seit dem Mittelalter in Gebrauch. Das Werk sicherte dem röm. Recht im Osten des Reiches den jahrhundertelangen Bestand.

C-0143). In East India he followed the troops throughout Goa, Cochin and other settlements, where alongside his medical activity he kept several gardens of medicinal plants that he used as one of his sources for botanical information. He returned to Europe in 1572 and, after settling in Burgos (Spain), he was appointed as physician by his town council in around 1576, to which he devoted his 'Tractado Delas Drogas, y medicinas de las Indias Orientales, con sus Plantas debuxadas al bivo por Christoual Acosta medico y cirujano que las vio ocularmente.

Acosta maintained his relationship with the city until 1587, when he retired to live as a hermit, still publishing two works, although of a religious nature. Pardo Tomás notes that this path was not uncommon in the Iberian world:  a young soldier that works as a physician and surgeon, develops an interest in observing nature, produces a work, trying to enter into the intellectual debate and ends up withdrawing from the world for spiritual reasons, desiring to prepare the salvation of his soul (1). The 'Treaty of drugs and medicines of the East Indies' written by Acosta had varied success. Carolus Clusius, in the work of the dissemination of the progress of botany in which he focused his work and efforts, made a Latin version that was printed by Plantin in Antwerp in 1582 (and reprinted in 1593), just as he had previously translated works by Monardes, García de Orta and Fragoso into Latin. And, just as he had done with the 'Coloquios' (Colloquia) by Garcia de Orta, he didn t translate the work but made a briefer Latin version, also altering the order of presentation of the plants, and of the 47 large format woodcuts of the original edition, which had been carved after drawings from life made by Acosta himself, he included only one, depicting the clove tree. Thus, the entire set of woodcuts that illustrated the Burgos edition of Acosta s book can only be admired in either that first edition or in the Venetian edition of Francesco Ziletti, who commissioned a copy of them for their use in the Italian translation, but larger in size and more beautifully printed than in the original, and he printed this edition in 1585, the edition to which this copy we have on offer corresponds. This edition is the only one that reproduces the text in its entirety, as well as the original prints, including the two devoted to the elephants. Indeed, the last chapter of the book leaves the plant kingdom and offers a 'Treaty on the Elephant and its qualities', the first Western study on the Indian elephant, where along with its description and behaviour, the virtues of their tusks are described:  ivory is used, in general, to comfort the vital virtue, cool the liver and reduce the white purges of women. It exploits the daily obstructions and relieves stomach pains, and it is good for jaundice, with the stomach empty, give a drachma with wine when there is no temperature, and where there is, with water of hopsor from chicory; and its use in beverages makes women fertile enough to get pregnant. Ivory is cold and dry to the first degree, which must be understood as exclusive to the teeth of the elephant (2). This edition is printed on thick cotton paper, and over time it has been proven to have a propensity to darken (in this example only in booklets A and Kk, and slightly in booklet FF) and foxing, which appears to varying degrees in this copy, fortunately only in the margins. The printer Ziletti dedicated this edition to Melchior Wieland (1520-1589), an eminent German professor of botany based in Padua, whom the Italians called Melchiorre Guilandino, so he could partially recover from his past misfortunes, precisely by trying to study medicinal plants in the East Indies. In effect(3), Wieland, after studying medicine in Konigsberg and Rome, went to Padua where he completed studies at the university with the renowned Gabriele Falloppio, for whom he worked. Wieland published some short texts in 1557 and 1558 (one criticizing Mattioli, thus winning his enmity)(4). With the money he got selling plants, along with some sponsorship and the aid of presentation letters from the Senator Marino Cavalli, -one of the reformers of the University of Padua for the Venetian Republic-, he travelled to Constantinople in around 1558, where he got permission from the Sultan to pass through his territory and access the neighbouring countries. But because of a war he could not cross Persia and had to go back, going through Aleppo, Damascus and Jerusalem, from where he went to Egypt thinking about turning back to try to get to India, this time via the Red Sea. As this also became impossible, without renouncing his purpose he thought of taking the sea route from Lisbon, for which went to Sicily and set sail for Portugal, with the bad luck that the ship was attacked by pirates, and he himself getting hurt and taken as a prisoner to Algiers where he was given as a gift to a son of Hayreddin  Redbeard Barbarossa, who sold him as a servant in a public auction. Having lost his writings and the samples that he had been collected throughout the trip, he had to spend nine months as a servant, until he was rescued by Falloppio, who paid two hundred gold shields for him. But the adverse fortune that had prevented him from realizing his sought after botanical journey to the Indies followed him again, as the ship that was going back from Africa to Italy sank. He was saved when, after many days spent clinging to a wooden plank, he was picked up by another ship bound for Genoa, and news was to spread to Italy about his courage. Falloppio again went to his aid, finding work for him in the medicinal garden of the University of Padua in 1561, the university where he also gave lectures at from 1567. As the head of the medicinal garden, Weiland invented an irrigation machine, of which no description has survived. In his role as a professor, in addition to publishing a book dedicated to the papyrus and its use in writing(5), he requested permission to retry his trip to the East Indies but he didn t manage it. So, and thinking that his troubles justified it (along with the fact that he was the most eminent botanist of the Venetian Republic at that time), Ziletti dedicated to himself this beautiful edition of the 'Treaty of drugs and medicines of the East Indies', by Christopher of Acosta.- // Refs.: Bradley, III, 276; Colmeiro, 239; Palau, 1694; Pritzel, nova, 13.- // (1) José Pardo Tomás:  East indies, West Indies: Garcia de Orta and the Spanish treatises on Exotic Materia Medica , in Palmire Fontes da Costa (ed.): 'Medicine, Trade and Empire'.- Farnham: Ashgate, 2015, pp. 195-211, quotation in p. 207.- (2) Page 327 in this Italian edition, 426 in the original edition in Spanish.- (3) Strangely enough, not much is known about Wielan.

Grande impresa tipografica al frontespizio, ritratto dell'autore entro elaborata cornice di elementi architettonici, corredati da insegne e due vignette, di cui una veduta prospettica del porto di Genova, testatine, capilettera e finalini silografici. Edizione originale, apparsa postuma, della versione latina dell'originale dialogo ''Della Repubblica di Genova'' (1559), composto dall'autore in lingua volgare allo scopo di sottolineare il suo sostegno alla fazione popolare della Repubblica, scelta che gli costò la condanna all'esilio. Uberto Foglietta (ca. 1518-1581), nato a Genova, divenne protonotario apostolico presso il Vaticano nel 1545. Raro esemplare in magnifica legatura romana della metà del XVI secolo opera di Niccolò Franzese realizzata per la biblioteca di Clemente Cozza. Nicolas Fery, noto come Niccolò Franzese, fu legatore ufficiale della Biblioteca Vaticana, attivo a Roma tra 1527 e 1570. Legatura chiaramente attribuita e datata agli anni '50 del XVI secolo per l'utilizzo degli eleganti ferri e per lo stile decisamente personale, alla base dell'affermarsi del gusto manierista italiano nell'arte della decorazione (Hobson ''Apollo e Pegasus'', 87-89, pp. 76-86). Anticamente riadattata per contenere l'opera del Foglietta. Buon esemplare (macchie d'umido ai primi e ultimi fogli, antica nota di possesso cancellata al tit.).

      Venetia, Bernardo Giunti, 1585, - 7 parti in un vol. in-8, leg. settec. p. pergamena duplice tass. in pelle con titolo in oro al dorso. Prima edizione di tutte e sette le commedie in versi (quattro di esse erano apparse nell'edizione in prosa di Giolito del 1550); sono tutte con prologo, in cinque atti ed in endecasillabi. Dedica dello stampatore a Giovanni Mocenigo. Frontespizio generale, che serve anche per la prima commedia, "La Dote"; le altre 6 commedie hanno proprio frontesp. con propria numerazione, per essere vendute separatamente. Esemplare di prima impressione (confrontato con quello che il Gamba chiama "originale"). I) La Dote: ff. (4), 40. Pur rifacendosi al "Trinummus" di Plauto, cerca di adattarsi agli usi e costumi del Cinquecento. II) La Moglie: ff. 40. Si rifà alla "Andria" di Terenzio ed in parte ai "Menecmi" di Plauto, con risultati brillanti e comici. - III) Il Corredo: ff. 40, (2, l'ult. bianco). Assai interessante soprattutto per la conoscenza di costumi ed indumenti femminili cinquecenteschi. - IV) La Stiava: ff. 31, (1 bianco). Tolta per lo più dal "Mercator" di Plauto, è ravvivata dalla "spontanea eleganza dello schietto e agile volgar fiorentino". - V) Il Donzello: ff. 43, (1 bianco). Piacevole rappresentazione di persone e fatti della vita quotidiana del Cinquecento. - VI) Gl'Incantesimi: ff. 31, (1 bianco). Commedia di successo, è ispirata alla "Cistellaria" di Plauto; veramente divertente la scena "clou" della beffa degli incantesimi. - VII) Lo Spirito: ff. 35, (1 bianco). Considerata tra le meglio riuscite per vivacità di dialogo e freschezza di motti popolari , la commedia affronta temi di stregonerie e magie. - Esemplare molto bello di edizione veramente importante e rara (solo qualche foglio reca rare tracce d'umido).

The book, which was originally written about 1363, includes Guy's views on fractures, and gives an excellent summary of the dentistry of that period. It is the greatest surgical text of the time. The first edition is the first important medical book printed in French" (G/M). - "Joubert, der als ein sehr bedeutender interner Arzt bekannt war, hat auch um die Chirurgie sich dadurch verdient gemacht, dass er von der seit langer Zeit als klassisch anerkannten, 1363 verfassten 'Chirurgia magna' des Guy de Chauliac, die seit 1478 in einer Reihe von lateinischen und französischen Ausgaben erschienen war, 1579 und 1580 eine neue und zeitgemässe französische sowohl als lateinische Ausgabe veranstaltete und dazu Anmerkungen sowie eine Interpretation der dunklen Ausdrücke verfasste, die indessen erst nach seinem Tode der. lateinischen Ausgabe (1585) beigegeben wurden" (Gurlt). - Die Holzschnitte zeigen zahlreiche chirurgische Instrumente. - Stellenweise papierbedingt gering gebräunt.

This is thus one of the very earliest southern hemisphere incunabula. The first three books from the Lima press were all the work of the Jesuit father José de Acosta, author of the Historia natural y moral de las Indias, assisted by Juan de Atienza (one of them may have been responsible for each language: see Ana Carolina Hosne, Jesuit Missions to China and Peru, 1570-1610, 2003, pp. 104-5; see also Sabine Hyland, The Jesuit and the Incas: The Extraordinary Life of Padre Blas Valera, S.J., 2003, pp. 169-194). A Spanish text appears at the top of the page; below, in double columns, are translations into Quechua and Aymara, the two major native American languages spoken in the Andes region and dating back to the Inca Empire.Catechisms or religious aids, the role of such books and their authors alongside that of the printing press itself in the history of colonial domination is undergoing extensive re-evaluation in modern times. However we view them today, they are of outstanding importance for our understanding of the ethnological, and linguistic history of early colonial Peru, as well as for the history of the spread of religion for its own sake and as a tool of the colonial powers. Appropriately this copy has the early ownership inscription in several places of Joseph Ignacio Cordero of the parish of San Roque, Potosi, the location of the silver mines that provided riches for Spain during the New World Spanish Empire. Also, like a copy described some years ago by the bookseller Richard Ramer, the title-page is signed by José de Acosta (as "concuerda con el original").

      De L’Imprimerie de George L’Oysselet, pour Claude Micard a Paris, Rouen 1585 - 8vo. pp. (xxxii), 660, (xxxiv); Lacking last blank. Double column, French in Roman letter, Italian in Italic. Title within ornate architectural border publisher’s initials at head and tail, small woodcut portrait bust, woodcut initials and headpieces, C19th stamp "B. Grandmaison" in lower blank margin of title, with a ms. shelf mark above. Light age yellowing, title very slightly dusty, with a couple of small marginal holes, minor light marginal water-stain in lower margin towards end. A very good clean copy in contemporary limp vellum, yapp edges, remains of ties, lower outer corner of lower cover torn. Excellent edition of the best C16th French translation of Castiglione’s Cortigione by Gabriel Chapuis, published simultaneously in Lyon, Rouen and Paris, a near exact reprint of the first of 1580, of tremendous influence in France. This translation was also published in Britain in 1588 in Wolfe’s trilingual edition along with the equally influential English translation by Thomas Hoby. Chapuis states that his reason for attempting a new translation is, in the same way that the Perfect Courtier described in the book cannot actually exist, neither can the perfect translation, and he felt that previous attempts had fallen short of the high standards demanded by Castiglione’s masterpiece. The Cortigione is the prototype courtesy book and one of the most enduringly popular and influential works of the Italian Renaissance. "The Courtier depicts the ideal aristocrat, and it has remained the perfect definition of a gentleman ever since. It is an epitome of the highest moral and social ideals of the Italian Renaissance, many of them inspired by classical examples. Another section provides similar rules for the conduct of a lady and the book ends with the celebrated pronouncement on platonic love by Bembo.", Printing and the Mind of Man. The work was soon translated into most European languages and Cervantes, Corneille, Shakespeare, Spenser, Jonson and Shelley are but a few of those who are clearly in its debt. The book is based on a nostalgic recreation of Castiglione's experience at the court of Duke Guidobaldo da Montefeltro of Urbino at the turn of the sixteenth century. It describes the ideal court and courtier, and relates the philosophical, cultured and lively conversations that occurred at Urbino, presided over by Elizabetta Gonzaga. The conversation, which takes place over a span of four days in the year 1507, addressed the topic, proposed by Federico Fregoso, of what constitutes an ideal Renaissance gentleman and is written in refined and elegant prose, spiced with humour. The speakers, prominent nobles and literati in the court of Urbino, include Giuliano de Medici, Pietro Bembo, Ludovico da Canossa Emilia Pia, Elizabetta Gonzaga amongst many others. BM STC Fr.

LOMAZZO, Paolo
        Trattato dell'arte della pittura, scoltura, et architettura, di Gio. Paolo Lomazzo milanese pittore, diuiso in sette libri. . Con vna tauola de' nomi de tutti li pitttori, scoltori, architetti, & matematici antichi, & moderni. .
      per Paolo Gottardo Pontio, stampatore regio. A instantia di Pietro Tini, Milan 1585 - FIRST EDITION OF A SEMINAL WORK OF ART THEORY FIRST EDITION second issue. 4to. [xl], 700 [i.e. 698] [ii]. [?]?, [??] A-2V?, 2X? Roman letter, titles in Italic. Small woodcut printer’s device on title, divisional half-title with woodcut portrait of Lomazzo in medallion on recto of B1, contemporary ms. ex libris ‘Biblio D.D. Corroli de Pradol, epipi Monsque’ to blank margin of title, shelf mark on pastedown. Light age yellowing, the very occasional minor marginal mark. A very good, well margined copy, crisp and clean, in contemporary limp vellum, remains of ties, head of spine restored, soiled and rubbed. First edition, second issue with a new title page, of this seminal work of art theory by the Italian painter and writer Lomazzo. "Lomazzo, the Milanese painter (1538-1600), wished to give in his theoretical writings the final and conclusive argument for the nobility of painting. By demonstrating that the painter’s primary and most important activity was intellectual, and that that his manual activity was in all cases simply an execution of ideas mentally conceived, he extended to painters the dignity hitherto enjoyed by poets and rhetoricians. By supplying rules for the seven parts of painting that he had logically deduced from careful definition, he "reduced painting to an art," and elevated it to an academic subject. These demonstrations were to result in a single and complete treatise that covered theory, technique, and subject matter. . Lomazzo’s publications were not motivated simply by his vanity as a painter or his ambition as a writer. During the century and a half previous to his career, enormous changes had taken place in the art of painting, which made his arguments for the higher station of painting both necessary and valid. Painters had developed techniques and rules that could be systematized and taught like those of the liberal arts, and they had increased the range and seriousness of the thematic matter of the art in a way to rival literature. The technical accomplishments of the Renaissance painters are still admired and studied in an age that abjures their employment, and the full extent of the intellectual content of Renaissance painting will remain a matter for inquiry, discovery and synthesis through many more years of iconographical studies." Gerald Ackerman. The Art Bulletin Vol. 49, No. 4 (Dec., 1967). "It is the summa of late Renaissance theory of art, a book Schlosser called the ‘bible of Mannerism’. .Lomazzo’s art theory reached many readers. Still in the sixteenth century a translation of the Trattato appeared in Oxford, "englished by Richard Haydock, student of Physick" (1598). A treatise by the English miniature painter Richard Hilliard is so closely related to the Trattato that it has been considered a paraphrase of Lomazzo’s text. Here was finally the longed -for, articulate, complete system of painting - and Lomazzo constructed a system perfectly fitting the intellectual and emotional atmosphere prevailing among the public he addressed. His claim to providing a system rests, to begin with , on what he believes to be a complete enumeration of the constituents, or "parts" of paintings. The art of producing images consists of seven parts, and to each of them a book of the Trattato is devoted." Moshe Barasch. ‘Theories of Art: From Plato to Winckelmann’. The book is also full of first-hand information about milanese artists, quoting extensively from lost sources. The seventh and final book includes a veritable dictionary of the iconography of the period. A lovely copy of this important first edition. BM STC C16 It., p. 391.
