Illustrated with an engraved title page 51 full-page woodcuts ornamental headpieces and initial letters.

The action takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne and his Christian paladins and the Saracen army which is attempting to invade Europe. However Ariosto has little concern for historical or geographical accuracy and the poem wanders at will from Japan to the Hebrides as well as including many fantastical and magical elements such as a trip to the moon and an array of fantastical creatures including a gigantic sea monster called the orc and the hippogriff. The poem grew in popularity as well in size after Ariosto's death increasing from 40 to 46 cantos in 1532 and finally to the finished form of 51 cantos. F. Valgrisi and N. Moretti hardcover books

Early 19th-century English half calf roll-tooled in blind spine with raised bands tooled in blind and lettered directly in gilt; ff. 43 1; woodcut printer's device to recto of first and final leaf woodcut initials and ornaments; extremities a little worn hinges cracked but hold firm head of spine chipped; a few small stains but otherwise a very good crisp copy; armorial bookplate of Samuel R. Block to front pastedown his ownership signature in ink to title page.First edition the final and definitive ""Ferrara"" version of Ariosto's first comedy in verse and his ""most problematic work for the stage"" Portner.Ludovico Ariosto 1474-1533 best known today for his epic poem Orlando furioso was also the author of five comedies. Following the successful staging of his comedy I Suppositi in the Vatican during the 1519 Carnival he was commissioned by Pope Leo X to write a new play. Il Negromante The Necromancer was sent to Rome on 16 January 1520 however its planned Roman premiere never took place; the pope instead chose to stage Niccolo Machiavelli's La Mandragola. The most likely reason for the play's cancellation was its veiled yet pointed critique of Leo X and the Vatican particularly regarding the sale of indulgences and clerical corruption. While Ariosto's wit was tolerated in other settings a performance of Il Negromante in the heart of the papal court - just three years after Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses - may have been considered too unsettling.In the play the charlatan Mastro Iachelino the so-called ""Necromancer"" is summoned to cure the supposed impotence of Clintio through his claimed magic arts. Clintio a newlywed is in fact secretly married to another woman Lavinia. Seeking to escape the marriage imposed on him by his foster father Massimo he later turns to Iachelino himself hoping to maintain the illusion of impotence. Meanwhile another young man Camillo also seeks the Necromancer's help hoping to win the favour of Emilia the bride involved in the unconsummated marriage with Clintio.Two versions of the comedy exist: one ""for Rome"" and one ""for Ferrara"". The first sent to the papal court in 1520 was published posthumously in Venice in 1535. The second revised for the Ferrarese court around 1528 was also published posthumously in this edition printed by Gabriele Giolito de' Ferrari in 1551 and dedicated by the editor Lodovico Dolce c. 1508-1568 to Giovan Vincenzo Vigliona. Dolce based his edition on the original manuscript which he had acquired from Ariosto's heirs.Adams A-1655; Edit16 CNCE 2665; Agnelli-Ravegnani Annali delle Edizioni Ariostee II p. 123 ""of considerable rarity like all Giolito editions and of undeniable importance regarding the text of Il Negromante inasmuch as it provides us with a version of the comedy not merely corrected but entirely rewritten by the poet"" trans.

With engraved portrait in volume I and 92 ENGRAVED PLATES with original tissue guards 46 from the Baskerville suite see below and 46 by Cochin. Cohen-De Ricci 98; Ray "French" p. 113. Bindings with half a dozen small patches of lost patina due to insect activity leather on spines a little dried and crackled occasional mild browning other trivial imperfections but an extremely pleasing copy especially internally with a clean remarkably fresh text wide margins and excellent impressions of the engravings. Our French edition of Ariosto's great sprawling romantic epic combines illustrations from two famed editions with engravings by top artists of the period. Each of the 46 cantos of "Mad Orlando" has two plates depicting the events described one from the Baskerville edition of 1773 printed in Italian for Molini and one from the quarto edition of the present French translation published just before our octavo printing. These 46 pairs of images are not only aesthetically pleasing as engravings but they allow for fascinating studies in interpretation because the pairs are consistently--and sometimes very distinctly--different one from the other. Jean-Michel Moreau known as Moreau le Jeune 1741-1814 provided illustrations for Diderot's encyclopedia and engraved works for François Boucher in addition to illustrating the works of Rousseau and Voltaire. According to the Getty Museum "publishers sought him out for his powers of observation and ability to capture nuances of gesture pose and light." Ray says that the best work by Moreau "showed him to be the equal of the established rococo masters Boucher Eisen and Gravelot" and that in his heyday "he carried all before him." Ray was enchanted by the Moreau engravings seen here noting "Moreau was at the top of his form as might have been expected when the most elegant of illustrators encountered the most elegant of poets." Charles Nicholas Cochin 1715-90 was one of the foremost French illustrators and one of the most influential persons in the French art world of the 18th century. He began producing engravings in his teens was elected to the Academy at 26 and was a member of the court for 40 years doing portraits of almost every celebrity of the period. As the person who provided the finished plates from the 276 original compositions by Oudry for the famous large folio edition of La Fontaine's "Fables" 1755-59 Cochin played an instrumental role in producing what Ray says is "one of the most ambitious and successful of all illustrated books." At 50000 lines long and 26 years in the making and refining "Orlando Furioso" by Ariosto 1474-1533 is one of the most singular and extravagant of narratives ever conceived. The story takes place against the background of the war between Charlemagne and the Saracens when Orlando Roland one of Charlemagne's finest knights neglects his duty out of love for the pagan princess Angelica. After she falls in love with a Saracen and elopes Orlando goes mad and is only restored to sanity when another knight flies to the moon in Ezekiel's chariot and obtains a magic potion to break the spell. There are many more complications. First published in 1516 "Orlando" was translated into English French as here Spanish and German becoming one of the most influential works of literature writers indebted to Ariosto include Tasso Cervantes Spenser Shakespeare Milton Byron and Shelley.
