Imp. Semper August.

Fletcher i.e. Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun--see below. For provenance: Willems "Bibliotheca Fletcheriana" p. 34; First work: Brunet I 994 "edition rare"; Second work: Goff B-762; BMC VI 826; for the binding: Goldschmidt 184; Weale 94; Fogelmark p. 125. Title page just slightly soiled two leaves with minor browning to lower corners two tiny marginal stains otherwise A FINE FRESH COPY IN A VERY WELL-PRESERVED BINDING the leather lustrous and the blind-stamped details remarkably sharp. This is a fortunate combination of two Boccaccio first editions in a wonderful Renaissance binding by a known binder and with distinguished provenance. "Amorosa" tells of a dream of love in 50 cantos of terza rima the text here with Boccaccio's own revisions as well as with additional work by the humanist editor Claricio who includes a defense of Boccaccio's poetry. The tale follows a dreamer led by a female guide through a castle to the garden where his beloved awaits plot elements that are clearly reminiscent of Dante and modern critics now see "Amorosa" as having exerted influence on Petrarch. The bound-in incunabular text here the novel "Urbano" was represented originally as a newly discovered work by Boccaccio but it is now known to be a spurious work variously attributed to Giovanni Buonsignori Buonaccorsi da Ginestrata or Cambio de Stefano. The hero Urbano is the son of Emperor Frederick I Barbarossa and a peasant girl whom he raped. Urbano bears a strong resemblance to the emperor's legitimate heir Speculo and is tricked by unscrupulous Florentine merchants into marrying the daughter of a sultan who believes him to be the emperor's heir. After numerous dramatic twists that include the death of Speculo the plot is resolved when Frederick acknowledges Urbano as his heir. The first dated work by our Bolognese printer Franciscus de Benedictis known by the nickname "Plato" appeared in 1482 and he began printing regularly in 1487 mostly for publisher Benedictus Hectoris. He issued several undated works in Venice but continued printing in Bologna until six months before his death in August of 1496. BMC notes that he was known as a "Printer of mark" and was respected by his patrons as "a man of probity as well as of some cultivation." Binder Claes Nicholas van Doersmaele or Claus Duermale was active in Antwerp beginning in 1533. Goldschmidt notes that he was "appointed 'Stadsboekbinder' for the town of Antwerp" after the death of Willem Vorsterman in 1543 and that "the account books in the Antwerp achives after that date are bound by him." His name contines to appear in the archives as a binder until 1549. Our binding was probably executed around the time van Doersmaele became the state bookbinder as the panel gives the age of Charles V b. 1500 as 42. This particular panel stamp is celebrated: in his "Flemish and Related Panel-Stamped Bindings" Staffan Fogelmark says that among cast panels "it has been acclaimed a masterpiece never to have been surpassed." Our copy was was once owned by Scottish patriot political theorist and book collector Andrew Fletcher of Saltoun 1653-1716 who amassed a library of over 6000 volumes the largest private library in Scotland. Fletcher kept a meticulous manuscript catalogue of his books and the library remained largely intact until the 1960s circumstances which allowed bibliographer P. J. M. Willems to compile a reliable catalogue of the contents. Our volume's long residence in a private library no doubt accounts for its outstanding condition. Zanotti Castiglione per Andrea Calvo, 10 February 1521; Bologna: Franciscus Plato de Benedictis, ca unknown
