1700réf. 4112Venice and Bassano: Gio. Antonio Remondini 1700. 12mo 134 x 67 mm. Collation: A-R12. 394 14 pp. 2 parts separately titled second title-page on F5r. Woodcut printer’s device on titles 120 text woodcuts a very few repeated. A few cuts with black dots e.g. on p. 257 apparently from wormed blocks. Fol. K12 with short closed tear touching a woodcut a few headlines shaved; some light discoloration. Late 18th-century English green calf covers with gilt intertwining feather and pointillé border smooth spine gold-paneled and tooled with 3 different all-over patterns red calf lettering piece gilt edges marbled endleaves worn: spine cracked headcaps gone. Provenance: a member of the Fletcher family: engraved armorial bookplate two gryphons as supporters motto “Dieu pour nous” the shield described by Burke as “sable a cross flory argent between four escallops. Crest a bloodhound azure ducally gorged or.” An illustrated pocket edition of 400 fables from Aesop and other traditions specifically intended for children preceded by Giulio Landi’s life of the semi-mythic fabulist. The charming simple but decisively cut woodcut illustrations are typical of the early productions of the Remondini firm who used the blocks as well in several Latin editions of the fables. Giovanni Antonio Remondini 1634-1711 an enterprising businessman whose earliest commercial successes were in wool production was the founder of the long-lived Bassano print publishing firm later known for its paper production. Specialized at first in the production of popular prints mainly engravings the firm’s typographic activities were circumscribed until the mid-18th century by the Venetian monopoly of book production; thus the Remondinis’ earlier typographical output was limited to popular chapbooks and devotional works for a local readership usually in small formats and often illustrated with quickly but skillfully cut woodcuts as here. This undated edition corresponds with the below-cited ICCU record in its pagination and fingerprints but several mispaginations described in ICCU were here corrected. The ICCU editors note two variants one with the place of publication given as Bassano only and this state or issue with imprint “In Venetia et in Bassano” dubbed variant B. ICCU ITICCULO1E04628; cf. M. Infelise I Remondini di Bassano 1980 pp. 23-33 and 132-3. Gio. Antonio Remondini unknown books

All three men were friends of Erasmus and published many of his works.

Prospectus laid in. Mardersteig/Schmoller 182. ◆Vellum grain showing variation as always otherwise in mint condition. This beautiful limited edition of Aesop is generally considered to be the finest book from Officina Bodoni and is thought by many to be among the half dozen greatest private press books ever printed. Probably the most important certainly the longest-lived 20th century Continental private press Officina Bodoni was founded in 1922 by Hans Mardersteig who later changed his first name to Giovanni. Like Sweynheym and Pannartz the first printers in Italy Mardersteig was born in Germany but moved to Italy as an adult and set up his hand press in a small village there. Will Carter has called Mardersteig "probably the finest pressman the world has ever seen or is ever likely to see" and it is difficult to overstate the pleasure derived from the precision of the Officina Bodoni books. Based on a beautiful hand-colored copy of the Aesop of Giovanni Alvise the third printer in Verona the Officina Bodoni Aesop celebrates the golden anniversary of Mardersteig's founding of his press.
