Ciotti Antonio Fattore agricultural manager; Ugurgeri Fausto Signore roughly equivalent to Lord of the Manor in BritainABAA

Amministrazione del' Magnifico Antonio Ciotti Fattore del' Nobile Signore Fausto Ugurgeri alla Tenuta di Seggiano per l'annata decorsa dal primo 8bre 1793 al 30 Settembre 1794. = Administration of the Magistrate Antonio Ciotti farm manager of the noble lord Fausto Ugurgeri for the Estate of Seggiano for the year from 1 October 1793 to 30 September 1794. Cover title; Visita o Contazione del Bestiame dei Poderi della Tenuta di Seggiano per l'Annata 1794 qual Contazione serve di Stilcontro per quella da Farsi nella Futura Annata 1795. = Inspection Report or Account of the Livestock of the Farms of the Seggiano Estate for the year 1794 which Account serves as the Basis for what to do in the Future year 1795. Title on first gathering

1793ref. 6143Seggiano Italy 1793. Manuscript codex 32 x 22.5 cm. in several hands; various paginations in 24 gatherings of unequal lengths including additionally several miscellaneous receipts all indicating a retrospective assemblage headed by a summary report as reflected by the title on the first gathering; bound in vellum and tied with cords. ~ A reference account book for the crop year October 1793-September 1794 two instances of the date 1792 may be errors made for an agricultural estate in the Tuscan municipality Seggiano near Siena south of Florence. It was prepared in advance of a detailed examination or inspection presumably commissioned by the lord of the estate Fausto Ugurgeri originally Ugurgieri della Berardenga of a Siennese family well known in the area from the 9th to the 19th century. The compiler declares himself on the cover as Antonio Ciotti likely the agricultural manager of the estate though he may also have held some public administrative office. Italian fattore cognate with fattoria farmstead appears originally in medieval times to have embraced "accountant" among its meanings but here may approach "director" or "manager" thus encompassing accountant but broader. His title Magnifico does not necessarily indicate membership in the nobility but would seem to confer recognition of public administrative office of some sort. ~ The Ugurgeri/Ugurgieri family traced its lineage to the feudal lords Winigis who founded the first nunnery in the region Fontebona in 867 as well as other religious foundations near Siena thus installing themselves with some degree of permanence as worldly proprietors and heirs according to the traditions of the Italian city states. The name derives more specifically as a contraction of Ugo di Ruggieri a twelfth-century descendant and Sienese consul whose long line held political sway in the centuries thereafter. Their history entwined with that of another line descended from the Winigis the Berarda family who consolidated even greater regional power by the thirteenth century. Hence the formal name Ugurgieri della Berardenga by which Fausto's more immediate ancestors had been known it is not known when the form used here was first adopted. Today there is still a fortress complex called the Palazzo degli Ugurgieri in Siena as well as an entire comune or township - famous for its Chianti wines and vin santos - called Castelnuovo Berardenga. The estate holdings passed from the last of the Ugurgeri Isabella to one Giovanni Battista Vivarelli in the early nineteenth century and subsequently changed hands several times until it was purchased by the Piccolomini family of Siena after World War II. ~ Some sample headings for the accounts: First gathering 6 recto: Canto a Vacche Account for Cows; Cano a Pecore Account for Sheep; recto 9 not counting receipts in folder bound in: Residovi Restati in Mano di me Ant. Ciotti di Tenuta di Seggiano Spettante al Nobile Signore Ugurgieri di 30 Settembre 1794. Residuals Remaining to Hand with me Antonio Ciotti of the Seggiano Estate due the Noble Lord Ugurgeri on 30 September 1794. Second gathering headed: Giornale al Mese d'Ottobre 1793. Journal for the Month October 1793; heading on page 98 13th gathering: Note dell'Olive che si macinevanno dai Particolari all' Oliviera di Casa Pagando di Molenda Cinque Quartucci ogni Pilata a Peso e misure tenese di 356 il Boccale. Notes on Olives that have been Milled Specifically for the Home Oil at a Cost of Five Quartucci a liquid measure by weight and measured at 356 per tankard. A chief purpose of the accounts was to record payments for services in cash goods or land use; such payments were not only noted but also indexed as for example in the 23rd gathering where names that are written on the first recto in a neat scribal hand appear grouped according to place number in the subsequent leaves but recorded there as occasion arose and in some cases in evident haste one Domenico Ferri for instance in group 13 was given cash contanti and a garden plot una partita di suolo. ~ The accounts kept include those for maintenance of livestock pigs goats sheep for maintenance of seed crops per mantenimento di coltivazioni semente and for costs related to transport of animals and goods. Ciotti's personal summary of accounts payable and received - a sizeable business was conducted with both Siena and the village of Baccinello - supplies a good idea of the extent of the Estate's production enumerating quantities of wheat rye farina barley vegetables cheese olive oil walnuts wool and linen. It seems that Ciotti had authority to operate finances with some latitude as even alms for the poor and religious mendicants were noted per elemosina a più poveri e religiosi mendicanti when the local Capuchin Friars Minor came to call though the commitment appears to have been trivial by comparison to the generosity exhibited by Ugurgieri forbears of an earlier millennium. There are many details that await interpretation and analysis but for modern eyes an endearing attribute might be noted namely that in livestock lists the affectionate names of cows are recorded Damigella Little Lady Pastorella Shepherdess Bellarosa Lovely Rose Pomposella Little Miss Grand.

Veranzio, FaustoBiblio.com

AN EARLY PARACHUTE LIKELY INSPIRED BY DA VINCI Machinae novae Fausti Verantii siceni: cum declaratione Latina Italica Hispanica Gallica et Germanica New machines of Fausto Veranzio: with Latin Italian Spanish French and German text

ref. 50561Venice: self-published between 1595 and 1616. Folio 37.3 × 25 cm. Contemporary full vellum; engraved title within architectural border; 49 numbered double-page copperplate engravings 19 1 18 2 20 19 1 19 1 pp. letterpress-printed text in Italian German French Spanish and Latin each with a vignette headpiece at the head of the section. Binding with repairs and somewhat distended; occasional light soil and foxing; small paper repairs to first few leaves and one plate with larger repair slightly affecting the image; else about very good and an apparently unresized copy with wide margins retaining all five text parts. First edition of this important survey of mechanical architectural and technological designs and projects the magnum opus of Fausto Veranzio 1551-1617 a Croatian polymath diplomat and priest who was born in Šibenik on the Adriatic Coast then part of the Republic of Venice. There are two known versions of this print: a Latin-Italian one with Tuscan privilege and our version with an engraved Venetian title page and additional translations of the texts into German French and Spanish. In a reprint of the book published 1965 Friedrich Klemm writes in his introduction: "In the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods we encounter excellently illustrated works of technical literature which were generally intended for aristocratic circles. . Of all these works that of Fausto Veranzio is the rarest. Compared to some of the other mechanical engineering illustrated works of the time Veranzio primarily presents his own designs some of which still reveal the objective spirit of the Renaissance or images of devices he had encountered on his travels. The books on mechanical and military technology of the Cinquecento such as those by Ramelli Lorini and Francesco de' Marchi as well as classical literature were certainly familiar to him the learned author who was active as a philologist philosopher historian administrator fortress commander mechanical engineer and churchman. The influence of Leonardo da Vinci also seems to be evident in Verancio's book." Veranzio attended school in Venice and studied law engineering mechanics and physics at Padua before entering the services of Rudolf II in Prague as whose secretary he is thought to have conversed with Johannes Kepler and Tycho Brahe. He also published works of lexicography and logic. Following the death of his wife he relocated to Venice where he joined the Barnabite Order and devoted his remaining years to the study of science and engineering. The large plates depict designs for flotation devices a bridge using suspension cables oil and wine presses a rotary printing press a universal clock various types of mills including a design that was used for one of New York's earliest tide mills fountains as well as the famous image showing a man gliding safely from the Campanile di San Marco in Venice likely inspired by Veranzio's familiarity with da Vinci's drafts for a parachute. "It is difficult to determine with certainty whether Veranzio saw Leonardo's notes. Regardless he certainly shared Leonardo's Renaissance spirit. They were both self-taught lovers of learning across different fields including philosophy and history. Like Leonardo Veranzio also harbored a passion for hydraulics and spent 2 years in Rome trying to regulate the flow of the Tiber. Back home in Venice he maintained the wells and water supplies" Innicenzi The Innovators Behind Leonardo p. 69." Veranzio's book also proposes various means to harness solar and hydraulic power. One of the plates shows the church in his birthplace Šibenik. In addition to the most famous illustration "Homo Volans" this magnificent volume contains numerous innovations that were sometimes far ahead of their time and secured Veranzio a place in the history of technology. One example is the iron carriage spring without which modern means of transport would be inconceivable cf. Friedrich Kluge Etymologisches Wörterbuch Berlin 1960 p. 188. Veranzio writes about his invention: "The suspended carriages are necessarily hung with ropes chains or double leather straps so that the passengers do not sit hard. But I wanted to put iron springs underneath them which open and close like the bows of crossbows." Another example is the first use of a gear mechanism in the manufacture of ropes cf. Jürgen Eichhoff in: Die Sprache des niederdeutschen Reepschlägerhandwerks. Cologne and Graz 1968 Low German Studies 16 p. 1041. But his bronze bridge the "Pons Æreus" shown in copperplate engraving no. 33 points furthest into the future. Because the first metal bridge was not built until 1773 over the Savern in England. Equally remarkable is Veranzio's iron bridge "Pons Ferrevs" on the following copperplate engraving which is apparently the first depiction of a chain bridge in Europe. See Nikola Roßbach. Poiesis der Maschine: Barocke Konfigurationen von Technik Literatur und Theater Berlin 2020 p. 99ff. When Veranzio was working on his "Machinae novae" he concerned himself with water regulation in the cities of Rome and Venice which were regularly threatened by the rivers and the sea. The elaborately crafted volume was not intended to enable the machines and architecture shown in it to be replicated but rather to showcase the achievements to educated and wealthy laymen such as potential clients and patrons. This explains the small print run. Veranzio sent the prints primarily to cardinals and generals who ultimately spread his name across the continent. See ibid. Veranzio's work is undated but based on several notes of thanks by friends from July 1616 was presumably printed in or around that year; occasionally it is dated as early as 1595. It has also been suggested that it was financed by the author and thus issued in small installments over a longer period of time. Complete copies are very scarce. Most copies in the market over the last decades have also either lacked one or more of the plates or one or more of the language sections. This copy includes all five versions known to have been issued: Italian German French Spanish and Latin as well as all plates. Copies with some colored plates are also known. Poggendorf vol. II no. 1194; Hausmann and Kapp vol. I no. 1138. As of November 2025 KVK and OCLC locate six copies in North America 2 other copies are marked as incomplete because they are missing several or all of the plates. unknown
