TOLOMEI, Claudio DE LE LETTERE...LIB. SETTE.
TOLOMEI, Claudio. DE LE LETTERE...LIB. SETTE. (Venice): Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari, 1547. 4to. 19th-century boards. (238 leaves. First edition. [Mortimer Italian, 500; Brunet V, 877]. The most important letter in this collection from an architectural point of view, is one written to Count Agostino de' Landi, 14 November 1542. In it Tolomei outlines an eight- point program by the Accademia della Virtu which ha profound impact on the establishing of the selective methodology of later architectural theoreticians from Philander, Vignola, Palladio, to De l'Orme a Barbaro. The book, surprisingly the most complete edition of Tolomei's lette was beautifully printed by Giolito who used his exquisite set of initial woodblock letters throughout, with scenes of sporting and other outdoor activities. The collection of letters is also noteworthy because it includes Tolomei's discussion on typography and Trissino's proposal to add new letters the alphabet. (Trissino was, incidently, the patron and tudor of Palladio.) This is a fine copy of the book with a few marginal notes in a contemporary Italian hand. The pagination, two hundred and thiry-two numbered leaves (the final one misnumbered 234) followed by six unnumbered leaves, conforms to the copy at Harvard as described by Ruth Mortimer.
