An attractive copy. A FOUNDATIONAL TEXT IN HUMANIST EDUCATION AND "ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR AND DISTINGUISHED GUIDES" TO LETTER WRITING WITH MODELS AND DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECRETARIES ON HOW NOT TO WRITE A LETTER. Burckhardt "Civilization of the Renaissance" emphasizes the importance of epistolography as an achievement of the true humanist: "To maintain a faultless style under all circumstances was a rule of good breeding and a result of habit." The present pamphlet reached Europe-wide fame and was published in 43 editions in the fifteenth century alone. Salloch describing the need of humanists for exacting manuals for letter-writing states: "One of the most popular and most distinguished of these guides was Franciscus Niger's published first in 1488 recte: 1487. He gives a review of the different kinds of letters from 'Epistola Commendaticia' to amatoria gratulatoria invectiva jocosa etc. furnishes examples of perfect letters from classical as well as contemporary sources and combines them with concise practical rules. Faultless Latin and a select use of the principles of rhetoric seem to be the characteristic features" Salloch Catalogue 234 no. 973.

1517réf. 132° mm 270x194; cc. 18 211 recte: 210 14. Carattere romano con numerose citazioni in carattere greco. Legatura settecentesca in pergamena rigida; dorso a scomparti con titolo e autore in oro su etichetta in marocchino. Bellissimo esemplare dai margini pressoché intonsi Provenienza: Biblioteca Archinto ex-libris araldico. Editio princeps. In testa al volume si trovano legati con segnature indipendenti aa-bb8-cc4 due altri testi del medesimo Autore: la Consolatoria oratio ad Apollinium e il De Fraterna benevolentia opusculum verosimilmente estratti dall'edizione degli Opuscula di Plutarco pubblicati a Basilea nel 1530 'In Officina And.

Hobson Renaissance book collecting: Jean Grolier and Diego Hurtado de Mendoza. Their books and bindings Cambridge 1999 pp. 28-30. The Dialogus printed after Philostratus's Heroica finds its philological fulcrum in a commentary on the Periegesis of Pausanias still essential today: "the extraordinary Latin paraphrase of the Periegesis in the form of a dialogue published by Stefano Negri in 1517 only a year after the publication of the editio princeps. In his introduction Negri extols the didactic value of the text: the literary journey upon which Pausanias takes the reader can in Negri's view go some way toward replicating the illumination from actual travel to antique lands an experience that was no longer available to the young Philhellenes of Renaissance Europe" W.E. Hutton. "Livre excellent et très rare qui conserve encore une haute reputation" Brunet III 519.
