JACOB (Max).
Cinématoma.
Paris, Editions de la Sirène, 10 février 1920. In-12, broché, 302 pp. Edition originale. Tirage à 1 245 exemplaires. Un des 1 200 numérotés sur papier vergé anglais. N° 446. Bel exemplaire. Avis : " Ce livre n'est pas un recueil de nouvelles, c'est une collection de caractères. L'auteur suppose qu'il a prêté sa plume aux quinze sujets de son étude. Il a l'espoir qu'il réveillera l'intérêt d'un genre littéraire désuet : le portrait, en y introduisant - non certes le premier-cette manière indirecte et censément spontanée."

Erudito e studioso di poliedriche attitudini e capacità, studiò medicina e si interessò di filosofia, tanto che ancora giovanissimo fu autore di commenti alle opere di Platone, mentre nel 1614 pubblicò l’opera in quattro libri De hydronosa natura sive de sudore umani corporis, sulla natura e la terapia della sudorazione umana, nel 1617 scrisse l’Hortulus genialis, edito a Colonia e Ginevra ove raccolse antidoti e sudi sulle intossicazioni, e successivamente diede alle stampe il Thesaurus secretorum, opera in cui sono elencate le cure ed i rimedi per svariate malattie e problematiche quotidiane. Nel 1623 pubblicò poi un trattato sull’uso del siero del latte e del burro come medicamento, intitolato De lactis, seri, butyri facultatibus et usu, e nello stesso anno gli fu conferita la cittadinanza beneventana. Cultore di studi umanistici Barricelli scrisse anche alcuni epigrammi latini e morì in Benevento tra il 1638 ed il 1640?. Caillet, 727 edizione di Ginevra del medesimo anno.

La morte in scena: Rosso di San Secondo: Marionette, che passione! e Lo spirito della morte
GUIDA 1986 191 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: APPUNTO A BIRO (200: NUMERO DI COPIE STOCCATE) AL MARGINE ANGOLARE SUPERIORE ESTERNO DELLA QUARTA DI COPERTINA, SEGNI DEL TEMPO E LEGGERE FIORITURE, COME DA FOTO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO. La storia di Marionette, che passione! è incentrata sull'incontro casuale di tre personaggi, incapaci di dare un senso alla propria esistenza. I tre si riveleranno alla fine non diversi da marionette, esseri totalmente in balia delle proprie passioni. Un'opera drammatica, grottesca, che alcuni definiranno legata al pirandellismo. Secondo Gaetano Savatteri, la grandezza di Rosso di San Secondo venne messa in ombra proprio dalla figura di Pirandello.
