WYMER Norman
A Breath of England. [Complete set, comprising 'A Breath of England. The Southern Shires', 'Wheatsheaf and Willow. The Eastern Shires', 'Green Hills and Grey Spires. The West Midlands' and 'Mere and Moorland. The Northern Counties'].
4 vols., 8vo., First Editions, with 4 frontispieces, very numerous plates and illustrations in the text, and endpaper maps; cloth, gilt backs, a very good, clean set in the dustwrapper (one price-clipped). Wymer's delightful sequence, covering virtually the whole of England, is neither a gazetteer nor the usual rural eulogy. Rather, he sets out to compare and contrast traditional variations between one county and another, emphasising industries, customs, superstitions, legends, folklore and, above all, people. It is an unusual approach, based on a charming prose style and enhanced by evocative illustrations both photographic and line. A lovely set, and uncommon in this condition

Zorzi Michelangelo
Vita del signor conte Cammillo Silvestri nobile di Rovigo e padre della romana erudizione Adornata di varie osservazioni al suo Museo spettanti, e copiosa di molte altre notizie istoriche, critiche, e letterarie. Consagrata agl'illustrissimi signori Giandomenico Roncali Kr. e Domenico Cezza Regolatori, o sia Deputati della Magnifica Città di Rovigo.
In 4° (23,5x16.5 cm); (8 compresa antiporta con ritratto a piena pagina del Conte Camillo Silvestri), 144, (8) pp. Legatura in piena pergamena con titolo manoscritto da elegante mano coeva al dorso (una piccola mancanza della pergamena all'angolo interno alto del piatto anteriore). Esemplare all'interno in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima ed unica rara edizione di questa biografia scritta dal letterato vicentino Michelangelo Zorzi, dedicata al celebre giurista, letterato, Socio dell'Accademia degli Incogniti, fra i più importanti personaggi di Rovigo del suo tempo, il Conte Camillo Silvestri (Padova 14 giugno 1645 – Rovigo 6 gennaio 1719) che fu anche uno dei più grandi esperti d'antiquariato del suo tempo. Silvestri si laureò a Padova in diritto civile e canonico il 6 marzo 1663. Il 15 dicembre 1672 fu inserito all'interno del Magnifico Consiglio rodigino e venne eletto regolatore per diversi anni di seguito. Ma le sue cariche pubbliche furono innumerevoli: presidente del consorzio di Campagna Vecchia, Sovrintendente a molti luoghi pii, Provveditore alle Vettovaglie; Revisore dell’estimo del territorio di Rovigo e Ambasciatore presso il doge e il Senato veneto. Fu proprio la Repubblica di Venezia a concedere a lui ed ai suoi discendenti il titolo di Conte e l'esenzione dai tributi feudali (questo anche per onorare due dei suoi figli morti in una battaglia navale contro i turchi nell'Egeo). Nel campo della cultura, importantissimo fu il suo contributo alla formazione e Museum Silvestrianum Rhodiginummiglioramento della collezione antiquaria del Museo di Rovigo dove confluì il suo celebre “Museum Silvestrianum Rhodiginum”. Silvestri è anche ritenuto un anticipatore della topografia storica moderna. Prima ed unica rara edizione in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Rif. Bibl.: IT\ICCU\NAPE\010747.
