Il Cortegiano del Conte Baldessar Castiglione The Courtier. Revisto per M. Lodocico Dolce.
Lyon: Gulielmo Rovillio 1562 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1562 Italian pocket edition published a year after the first English edition. 32mo. 4¾x2¾. Pp. 494 34. Text in Italian. Decorative woodcut chapter headings and initials. Later half black morocco gilt lettering pebbled cloth sides. Contemporary ink name at head of title page light damp stain to first 70 pages. Overall a very good copy tight and clean. As in all copies of this edition page 324 is incorrectly numbered 224. The publisher of this edition with the publisher's woodcut device on title page was Guglielmo Rovillio whose refined books in Italian were highly prized among the wealthy Italian community in Lyon. The Book of the Courtier was written by Baldassare Castiglione over the course of many years beginning in 1508 and first published in 1528 just before the author's death. The work is a courtesy book and addresses the constitution of a perfect courtier. Castiglione's work is an example of the Renaissance dialogue a literary form that incorporated elements of drama conversation philosophy and essay. It is considered the definitive account of Renaissance court life and is cited frequently. The Book of the Courtier was one of the most widely distributed books of the 16th century with editions printed in six languages and in twenty European centers. It is organized as a series of fictional conversations that occur between the courtiers of the Duke of Urbino in 1507 when the author was in fact part of the Duke's Court. In the book the courtier is described as having a cool mind a good voice along with proper bearing and gestures. At the same time the courtier is expected to have a warrior spirit to be athletic and have good knowledge of the humanities classics and fine arts. Over the course of four evenings members of the court try to describe the perfect gentleman of the court. In the process they debate the nature of nobility humor women and love.

CASTIGLIONE, Baldessare
Il Libro del Cortegiano del Conte Baldessar Castiglione. Nuouamente Ristampato
Venetia Venice: nelle case de figlioli di Aldo I Manuzio 1545. Fourth Aldine printing. Small folio. 122 ff. Eighteenth century full pigskin gilt lettering to the spine all edges green a single leaf in book three lacking but the text supplied in consummate manuscript predating or contemporary with the binding. Faint dampstain cutting across the upper corner of the last 16 leaves at the gutter also evident on both pastedowns a few marks to the boards an attractive copy. Baldessare Castiglione 1478-1529 was very much a man of his day educated in a Humanist school in Milan in the 1490s where he also served at the court of Duke Ludovico Sforza. He returned to his native Mantua on the death of his father at the age of 21 whereupon he entered the service of the local marquis Francesco Gonzaga for the next five years. During this time he became acquainted with Guidobaldo da Montefeltro Duke of Urbino whose court he entered in 1504. Castiglione acted in various capacities for Guidobaldo and his successor principally diplomatic though he also played an active role in the flourishing cultural life of the court. His talents took him to Rome in ambassadorial roles for Urbino and subsequently Mantua leading to his involvement with the Vatican and his later ecclesiastical career towards the end of his life he was made Bishop of Avila. He is now best remembered for this work first published in 1528 by the Aldine Press. Written in the form of a dialogue between several protagonists Castiglione sought to define the courtly ideal. Going beyond a mere book of etiquette he described the essential characteristics and traits that a courtier should exhibit. These include refinement in the arts athletic prowess most obviously in bearing arms great oratory skills very much in the Ciceronian tradition and something which Castiglione termed "sprezzatura". Translated and defined by the Oxford English Dictionary as "studied carelessness" Castiglione suggested that a man about court should eschew flamboyance and grandiosity in favour of a genteel modest and nonchalant manner and temperament - essentially that all his efforts and undertakings should be worn lightly and completed with as little perceptible exertion as possible. Its contemporary importance is demonstrated by the fact that the Aldine Press had printed it another four times by 1547 the first four editions in folio as here the final as an 8vo. By 1616 over 100 further editions in Italian and in translation had been published. Unsurprisingly its cultural influence in the succeeding centuries became manifest across Europe with traces of the work found in the writings of Cervantes Corneille and amongst others in the English language Shakespeare Spenser and Shelley. Printing and the Mind of Man 59. "It is an epitome of the highest moral and social ideas of the Italian Renaissance. Venetia [Venice]: nelle case de figlioli di Aldo [I Manuzio] unknown

Castiglione Conte Baldassarre
IL LIBRO DEL CORTEGIANO DI NUOVO RINCONTRATO CON L'ORIGINALE SCRITTO DI MANO DE L'AUTORE.
Vinegia: Figlioli di Aldo Aldus 1547. Early Printing by Aldus. Elaborate Aldine device Impressed on the titlepage and at the end on the verso of the colophon leaf. Dedication to Michel de Selva vescovo di Viseo. 8vo bound in 17th century stiff vellum red morocco lettering label gilt. ff. 5 195 8. A fine example with the title label with a bit of chipping and with some light loss. RARE ALDINE EDITION OF THE CLASSIC LANDMARK IL CORTEGIANO. Castiglione’s great work is one of the most famous books of the Italian Renaissance and represents the highest level of commitment to the prince and the new political and social order. The Courtier is the prototype of the courtesy book written as conversation between members of the court. At the time of its composition Castiglione was at the court of Guidobaldo de Montefeltre and Elizabetta Gonzaga at Urbino together with Bembo Giuliano de' Medici Federico Fregoso and other Renaissance luminaries; members of that court feature as speakers in the conversation. <br> Castiglione after serving the Sforzas at Milan and the Gonzagas at Mantua came to the Court of Urbino in 1504 where de Montefeltre and his consort Elizabetta Gonzaga were the center of the most brilliant court in Italy which counted among its members Bembo Bibbiena G. de’Medici and many other eminent men. This brilliant book is based on Castiglione’s experience of life among these dazzling figures.<br> ‘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 ideas of the Italian Renaissance and is written in the form of a discussion between members of the court. The fundamental idea that a man should perfect himself by developing all his faculties goes back to Aristotle’s ETHICS and many of the Aristotelian virtues reappear---honesty magnanimity and good manners. The ideal man should also be proficient in arms and games be a scholar and connoisseur of art; he should develop graceful speech and cherish a sense of honour. Relations between the prince and the courtier forms of government and rules for the conduct of a lady are also discussed and the book ends with the celebrated pronouncement on platonic love by Bembo.<br> This Renaissance ideal of the free development of individual faculties and its rules of civilized behaviour formed a new conception of personal rights and obligations in Europe. The book was translated into most European languages and between 1528 and 1616 no less than one hundred and eight editions were published. It had great influence in Spain where traces of it can be found in DON QUIXOTE and in France in Corneille’s writings. But its most potent influence was probably in England. Its influence can be seen in Shakespeare Spenser Ben Jonson Sir Philip Sidney Robert Burton and Shelley. It had a great impact on the development of English drama and comedy.<br> The beautiful and highly important printings of the house of Aldus are exceptional and revered in their own right. This one of the most exceptional of Italian Renaissance works published by the great Renaissance printer of Italy. Figlioli di Aldo (Aldus) hardcover

At the time of its composition Castiglione was at the court of Guidobaldo de Montefeltre and Elizabetta Gonzaga at Urbino together with Bembo Giuliano de' Medici Federico Fregoso and other Renaissance luminaries; members of that court feature as speakers in the conversation. <br> Castiglione after serving the Sforzas at Milan and the Gonzagas at Mantua came to the Court of Urbino in 1504 where de Montefeltre and his consort Elizabetta Gonzaga were the center of the most brilliant court in Italy which counted among its members Bembo Bibbiena G. de’Medici and many other eminent men. This brilliant book is based on Castiglione’s experience of life among these dazzling figures.<br> ‘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 ideas of the Italian Renaissance and is written in the form of a discussion between members of the court. The fundamental idea that a man should perfect himself by developing all his faculties goes back to Aristotle’s ETHICS and many of the Aristotelian virtues reappear---honesty magnanimity and good manners. The ideal man should also be proficient in arms and games be a scholar and connoisseur of art; he should develop graceful speech and cherish a sense of honour. Relations between the prince and the courtier forms of government and rules for the conduct of a lady are also discussed and the book ends with the celebrated pronouncement on platonic love by Bembo.<br> This Renaissance ideal of the free development of individual faculties and its rules of civilized behaviour formed a new conception of personal rights and obligations in Europe. The book was translated into most European languages and between 1528 and 1616 no less than one hundred and eight editions were published. It had great influence in Spain where traces of it can be found in DON QUIXOTE and in France in Corneille’s writings. But its most potent influence was probably in England. Its influence can be seen in Shakepeare Spenser Ben Jonson Sir Philip Sidney Robert Burton and Shelley. It had a great impact on the development of English drama and comedy.<br> The beautiful and highly important printings of the house of Aldus are exceptional and revered in their own right. This one of the most exceptional of Italian Renaissance works published by the great Renaissance printer of Italy. Figlioli di Aldo (Aldus) hardcover
