1795ref. 006156Venezia: Tipografia Pepoliana 1795. Quarter Calf. Marbled boards. Very Good. 16mo. 11.5 by 7.5 cm. A vast compendium of Metastasio's poetic works excepting his lyric opera libretti. Not a few of the works contained herein however were intended to be accompanied by music and many of these are dramatic works short to long-ish and with casts of characters -- essentially one act operas some with many scenes. These works moreover were some of his most popular works in their day. Among the works included are "La Contesa de' Numi" "Il Tempio dell'Eternita" "L'Asilo d'Amore" "Le Grazie Vendicate" "Il Sogno di Scipione" "Il Palladio Conservato" "Il Parnaso Accusato e Difeso" "La Pace fra la Virtu e la Belezza" "Astrea Placata" etc. etc. All the volumes contain the decorative bookplate of Alexander Speirs who was a prominent Scottish politician in the early 19th century. Spine labels with number of volume only missing label for volumes 1 and 12 the latter has a slight remnant of the label. Boards with speckled marbled paper pastedowns. These have some darkening. The bindings otherwise with minor bumping here and there and scattered scuffs. Nonetheless the near-miniature set remains very attractive and also very uncommon. Tipografia Pepoliana unknown books
1795ref. 006157Venezia: Tipografia Pepoliana 1795. Quarter Calf. Marbled boards. Very Good. The collected full-length operas of the foremost librettist of opere serie during the eighteenth century. 16mo. 11.5 by 7.5 cm. While these operas were set to music originally by composers mostly forgotten a few of them were re-used as libretti by others and most notably by Mozart who set music to "La Clemenza di Tito" which has in more recent years become a staple of the major opera houses. All of Metastasio's full length operas are here except for "Siface Re di Numidia" and "L'Impresario delle Isole Canarie". We strongly believe that the set is complete as the operas are arranged generally in chronological order and they are in strict chronological order in the latter half; in other words the two omitted works if they were part of the set would have been in the earlier numbers. There is one opera per volume. Each volume has a copper engraved illustration on its title page. All the volumes contain the decorative bookplate of Alexander Speirs who was a prominent Scottish politician in the early 19th century. Spine labels with number of volume only missing all or part of the labels for volumes 5 11 and 14. Spine leather heavily worn on Vol. 11 by joint where chewed and 12 the latter has a slight remnant of the label. Boards with speckled marbled paper pastedowns. These have some darkening. The bindings otherwise with minor bumping here and there and scattered scuffs. Nonetheless the near-miniature set remains very attractive and also very uncommon. Tipografia Pepoliana unknown books
