Set in Aldine-style italic types with upright capitals with incidental roman. Second Sansovino edition of Boccaccio's first important work Il Filocolo here Filocopo a prose romance written ca. 1334-1336 about twenty years before the Decameron. Boccaccio reworked the 12th-century French love story of Floire Florio muslim Prince of Andalusia and Blancheflor Biancifiore the orphaned daughter of his mother's Roman Christian lady-in-waiting. They grow up together in the royal household but when they fall in love his parents try to break up the romance by selling her to merchants who will take her to Alexandria to join a harem. Florio under the pseudonym Filocopo rescues and marries her. He converts to Christianity and they return home where he ascends the throne and his people embrace Christianity. Boccaccio introduced many new elements into the story and told it with his usual flare for often risqué humour. It served as inspiration for writers around the world from Chaucer to Keats and Boccaccio himself further developed several episodes for stories in his Decameron.Francesco Sansovino 1521-1583 had produced the first variorum edition of the Decameron in 1546 and then turned his editorial scholarship to Il Filocolo beginning with Gaetano's text editions in 1527 and 1538.

"Boccace a revisité l'histoire d'amour française du XIIe siècle de Floire (Florio), prince musulman d'Andalousie, et Blancheflor (Biancifiore), la fille orpheline de la dame d'honneur romaine chrétienne de sa mère. Ils grandissent ensemble dans la maison royale, mais lorsqu'ils tombent amoureux, les parents de la jeune femme tentent de mettre fin à leur romance en la vendant à des marchands qui l'emmèneront à Alexandrie pour la faire entrer dans un harem. Florio, sous le pseudonyme de Filocopo, la sauve et l'épouse. Il se convertit au christianisme et ils rentrent en Andalousie, où il monte sur le trône et convertit son peuple au christianisme. Boccace a introduit de nombreux éléments nouveaux dans l'histoire et l'a racontée avec son sens habituel de l'humour (souvent osé).

Second Giunta edition of the "Corbaccio" which first appeared in 1487 and was first and similarly anonymously printed by Filippo Giunta in 1516: "una materiale ristampa di questa edizione fatta pagina a pagina e riga a riga" Gamba; "ces deux editions sont assez rares" Brunet. This bawdy satire supposedly based on a Florentine widow who turned down Boccaccio was as popular as it remains controversial for its scurrilous and misogynistic elements. The text is prefixed by a letter from Filippo Giuntas son Bernardo "agli amatori della lingua Toscana"; leaves 57ff. contain Boccaccios letter to Pino di Rossi.With the engraved bookplate of Lord Robert Spencer 1747-1831 British Whig politician on the front paste-down.

This is an elegantly bound and unusually well-preserved copy of one of the most famous and charming illustrated books of the 18th century a work frequently regarded as the supreme example of refined libertine illustration of the period. Owen Holloway calls it one of the four masterpieces of book illustration at the end of the Rococo period.

The publisher first released this work in Italian in 1757 with the present edition following later the same year. Although he had as collaborators on this work some of the outstanding French artists of the 18th century Gravelot born Hubert-François-Bourguignon 1699-1773 was chiefly responsible for its production designing 89 of its 111 plates and all 97 of its immensely delightful tailpieces. In this the most ambitious undertaking of his career Gravelot gave Boccaccio's narrative the settings and costumes of 18th century France and this transposition Ray tells us "made it possible for him to exercise his special talent for depicting the social world around him. For the most part his figures are young the women graceful and pretty the men lithe and handsome." But "all levels of life are presented from the peasant in his hovel to the king in his palace. Every variety of interior is there from boudoirs and bedrooms to dining rooms and salons. Animated street scenes alternate with glimpses of gardens and farms forests and river banks.

Ad I: First edition of the earliest books from the press of the first printer of Bern and a beautifully illustrated edition of Boccaccio's encomium of famous women. It is notable as the first collection devoted exclusively to biographies of women in Western literature. The artist has been identified as Jakob Kallenberg a Bavarian painter and craftsman from Bern who worked there from 1535 until about 1565 and became a member of the city council. His style is reminiscent of Holbein whose pupil he probably was. Several of these cuts are also extant on broadside publications or loose sheets. The satirical cut of Pope Joan f. LXXIIIv giving birth during a procession surrounded by cardinals is here in perfect state whereas it is often either missing or mutilated.- 18th cent. ms. owner's entry on title-page otherwise a nice copy. Ad II: First edition of the first printed collection of classical inscriptions an anthology of ancient Roman epigraphs and the most beautiful book from the press of the famous Roman printer Mazzocchi active 1505- 1527. His work is import as one of the earliest humanist studies on epigraphy and valuable for its profuse woodcut illustrations. There are woodcuts of art and architecture of ancient Rome including the Pantheon triumphal arches the "Three Graces" and other reliefers and steles; about 80 cartouches of varying design frame the inscriptions and 7 full-page woodcut borders are on black ground. The work has been attributed to one of Mazzocchi's humanist friends Francesco Albertini the great scholar of Roman antiquities.

Set in a roman type with shoulder notes and some verses in italic and a large roman for headings. Jean André issue of the extremely influential first French-language edition by Adrien Sevin of Boccaccio's first major work Il filocolo ca. 1336 a prose tale detailing the romantic love and adventures of Florio and Biancafiore based on the ca. 1160 French verse romance Floire et Blancheflor written at the request of Boccaccio's muse "Fiammetta". Boccaccio's version served as the model for Chaucer's more than fifty years later but it is a reworking rather than a translation so it was largely through the present printed translation that Il philocope a precursor of the better known Decameron became known north of the Alps. The fine woodcut illustrations first appeared in Janot's 1540 edition of Amadis de Gaula and after the Philocope also for several other romances. The borders used with them in these works are apparently older for two of the head borders are dated 1520. King François I of France who reigned from 1515 to 1547 greatly admired the Italian Renaissance and encouraged Italian influences in many aspects of French culture. The present book reflects that movement both as a model of French Renaissance prose under Italian influence and as an example of book production using new roman and italic types in the new style introduced under Italian influence in the 1530s.With the small letterpress bookplate and the armorial bookplate of Charles Bouchelet de Vendegies Comte d'Hust 1772- 1851 and a later bookplate of the Swiss collector Albert Natural. With a few mostly marginal defects and early repairs but with three repaired tears in the text one also in a woodcut but so skilfully repaired that it is barely visible in the woodcut. One of the repeated woodcuts has a small abrasion. Otherwise in good condition. The binding has restorations to the hinges and corners and the spine shows some superficial cracks and flaking but nearly all of the tooling remains clear. The very influential first French edition of Boccaccio's first major work with excellent woodcut illustrations.l BMC STC French p. 71 Janot issue; Brun Le livre français illustré p. 158; Mortimer French 105 Janot issue; Rawles Denis Janot . 1976 PhD thesis 164; Renouard Imprimeurs Parisiens 155; USTC 37796 & 92444 8 copies; see 37799 65503 & 92444 for the other issues; cf.
