Ariosto, Lodovico (1474-1533). THE ORLANDO FURIOSO. Translated into English Verse from the Italian of Ludovico Ariosto, with Notes by William Stewart Rose (1775-1843).
John Murray, London: 1823-1831. 1831, Hardcover Eight volumes. 12mo. 21 cm. Beautifully bound by H.Zucker of Philadelphia in half morocco leather gold. Raised bands. All edges gold. Armorial bookplate of Redmond Conyngham. Preserved in an oak wood slip case. Orlando Furioso ("Orlando Enraged") is a continuation of the "Orlando Innamorato" of Matteo Maria Boiardo, which was left unfinished upon the author's death in 1494. It begins more or less at the point where Boiardo left it. Boiardo's tale is a classic chivalric romance of knights errantry on a quest. Though it retains the form and theme of the earlier work Aristo's is a thoroughly modern production of the Cinquecento. Along with thrilling adventure and complex plots, it shows in it's pages the "culture of the contradiction", that appear so strongly in Erasmus and Rabelais. There is no room here to recount any details of the thrilling saga, but we'd be pleased to provide a synopsis upon request. This is considered the best translation into English. Rare. A really wonderful gift for any sophisticated book collector.

The story of a girl lured into a mock marriage by an English nobleman who soon deserts her. Of course he finally repents of his misdeeds. Scarce. Beaumarchais was originally a watchmaker, who rose to wealth and position among the French nobility. As a dramatists, his two successful productions were Le Barbier de Seville (1775), the basis of the Barber of Seville opera by Rossini, and Le Mariage de Figaro (1784), the source of an opera by Mozart. Beaumarchais's employment as a secret agent by the monarchy led to his involvement in the American Revolution as a supplier of arms. The expected payment was never forthcoming, and the claims of Beaumarchais against the Americans were settled only in 1835 through a grant by Congress to his heirs. Hardbound. CLEO CHEST 2/3

"The novellino is a collection of fifty stories, each one told by the writer separately, without any striving after continuity. Masuccio does not trouble himself like certain others of the Novellieri, to construct a setting for his work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the work, and to feign that the tales are told in turn by the various members of a gentle company brought together by hazard. He tells us that all his novels are true, and that in many cases he is only setting down what he has learnt by the evidence of his senses. " Very nice set. SET/W47

Typis Petri de La Roviere, Genevae: 1614. 1614, Hardcover Good Hebrew Title: OZAR LESHON HA-KODESH.pp. [16], 3188 columns, [38]. Text printed in Hebrew and Latin, in double columns reading (Hebrew style) from right to left and working from back to front, with printed marginal notes. Woodcut printer's device on title page; woodcut head-pieces and initials. Thick folio. 255 x 395 mm. Some copies of this book have the place of printing as Coloniae Allobrogum, the ancient Latin name for Geneva. In this copy that name is struck out in type and Genevae is overprinted above. Name excised from title. Some leaves at the beginning and end are worn with slight loss. The early full leather binding is quite worn, and probably should be replaced. Santes Pagnini was a Dominican monk from Lucca who went to Florence where he was a pupil of the (soon to be martyred) Savonarola (1452-1498). Skillful in Hebrew and Classical languages, Pagnini was appointed a professor of classical languages at the College of Oriental Languages, founded by Pope Leo X. He dedicated twenty-five years to the translation of his Bible from the original languages into Latin, which was first published at Lyon in 1527-1528. This edition is said to be the first to be divided into chapters. This is the famous Bible that Michael Servetus corrected and edited (1542). MOUNT BX2 **PRICE JUST REDUCED!!

Ex Officina Plantiniana, Apud Joannem Moretum, Antwerp: 1607. 1607, Hardcover Very Good pp. [16], 547, [33], 36, 84, [14]. With three different versions of the Plantin 'Labore et Constantia' compass device (the last very elaborate). Wood engraved tailpieces. Folio. 235 x 360 mm. Boards detached, and no spine. Cornelius Tacitus (Ca. 55-117 A.D.), the great Roman historian was a friend of Pliny the Younger and married the daughter of Cnaeus Julius Agricola. In 97 A.D. he was appointed substitute consul under Nerva, and later he was proconsul of Asia. The first of his works was the Dialogus [Dialogue], a discussion of oratory in the style of Cicero, demonstrating to some degree why Tacitus was celebrated as an eloquent speaker. Tacitus then wrote a biography of Agricola, expressing his admiration for his father-in-law as a good and able man. His small treatise De origine et situ Germanorum [Concerning the Origin and Location of the Germans], commonly called the Germania or Germany, supplies (along with the earlier account of Julius Caesar) the principal written material on the Germanic tribes. Archaeology bears out the accuracy of Tacitus, but the work is not objective; it is a picture of the simple Germans glorified by comparison with the corruption and luxurious immorality of the Romans. This moral purpose and severe criticism of contemporary Rome, fallen from the virtuous vigor of the old republic, also underlies his two long works, commonly called in English the Histories (of which four books and part of a fifth survive) and the Annals (of which only Books I-VI, XI-XVI survive). The extant books of the Histories cover only the reign of Galba (68-69 A.D.) and the beginning of the reign of Vespasian but give a thorough view of Roman life, persons, places, and events. The surviving books of the Annals tell of the reign of Tiberius, of the last years of Claudius, and of the first years of Nero. The account contains incisive character sketches, ironic passages, and eloquent moral conclusions. The declamatory writing of the Dialogus is replaced in the historical works by a polished and highly individual style, a wide range of vocabulary, and an intricate and startling syntax. "In the formation of this edition Lipsius had recourse to some MSS. and the early editions: he has illustrated his author with a very learned and valuable Commentary. as a Commentator he ranks among the highest class of those who by their annotations have illustrated this excellent historian. Printed in a fine bold character" - Moss II; Dibdin II, 450; Schweiger II, 1001; Graesse VI/2, 9. MOUNT BX1 **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

Bacon, Sir Francis, Baron Verulam, Viscount St. Albans (1... OEUVRES MORALES ET POLITIQUES DE MESSIRE FRANCOIS BACON, Grand Chancelier d'Angleterre. De la version de I. Baudouin.
Jean Roger, Paris: 1639. 1639, Hardcover Very Good pp. [xvi], 639. Woodcut tail pieces and initials. French text. 16 mo. 105 x 165 mm. Old vellum binding, worn. No flyleaves. A very scarce French translation of Bacon's famous and excellent 'Essays'. Included also are his: collection of fables showing the Mysterious Wisdom of the Ancients; Table of Colors, or the Appearance of Good and Evil; Aphorisms, Old & New; and a explanation of the morals found in some Parables of Solomon. Sir Francis Bacon (later Lord Verulam and the Viscount St. Albans) [1561-1626], was an English lawyer, statesman, essayist, historian, intellectual reformer, philosopher, and champion of modern science. Early in his career he claimed "all knowledge as his province" and afterwards dedicated himself to a wholesale revaluation and re-structuring of traditional learning. To take the place of the established tradition (a miscellany of Scholasticism, humanism, and natural magic), he proposed an entirely new system based on empirical and inductive principles and the active development of new arts and inventions, a system whose ultimate goal would be the production of practical knowledge for "the use and benefit of men" and the relief of the human condition. At the same time that he was founding and promoting this new project for the advancement of learning, Bacon was also moving up the ladder of state service. His career aspirations had been largely disappointed under Elizabeth I, but with the ascension of James his political fortunes rose. Knighted in 1603, he was then steadily promoted to a series of offices, including Solicitor General (1607), Attorney General (1613), and eventually Lord Chancellor (1618). While serving as Chancellor, he was indicted on charges of bribery and forced to leave public office. He then retired to his estate where he devoted himself full time to his continuing literary, scientific, and philosophic work. He died in 1626, leaving behind a cultural legacy that includes most of the foundation for the triumph of technology and for the modern world as we currently know it. Gibson. 168a.
