1562rif. 98780Milan 1562. 1562. - Folio 12 inches high by 8-1/2 inches wide. 1-page on bifolium with a red paper seal. On the 4th leaf with the seal the letter is addressed "APRmo 5 Mons : Vescovo di Cremona". The letter realized in a secretarial hand is dated April 5 1562 from Milan and is boldly signed by Francesco Fernando dÁvalos d'Aquino d'Aragona. Philip II King of Spain and Duke of Milan chose Francesco Fernando dÁvalos to be his envoy at the Council of Trent. He arrived in Trent on March 14 1562 and attended the sessions of the council. He pressed the Spaniards to not offer up anything against the interests of the Holy See. Upon his return to Milan he charged his secretary Ercole Pagnano with the task of generating a report. As the Governor's agent Pagnano had defended the privileges of the Sicilian monarchy and worked with the Spaniards to quell the controversy regarding the jurisdiction of bishops. In this letter to the Bishop of Cremona the Governor is offering Pagnano's report to him. Loosely translated he states that Pagnano is well informed about these things and that "V.S." Your Excellency should be given his account. The letter was once folded into 4 panels and there very minor breaks along 3 of the folds. There is some minor browning especially to one of the folds. An advisor to King Philip II of Spain Francesco Fernando dÁvalos c.1530-1571 took command of the Spanish army in Lombardy and Piedmont succeeding the 3rd Duke of Alba who had become the Governor of Milan. From 1560 to 1563 Francesco Fernando served as the Governor of the Duchy of Milan. He was the viceroy of Sicily from 1568 to 1571. The Bishop of Cremona was born Niccolo Sfondrati in 1535 in the Duchy of Milan. Philip II of Spain appointed him to be a senator in Milan in 1552 and at the urging of the Spanish government the Pope appointed him Bishop of Cremona in 1560. He participated in some of the sessions of the Council of Trent from 1561 to 1563. In 1590 he was one of seven cardinals that were acceptable to be pope by Philip II of Spain. He was elected Pope and took the name Gregory XIV. He died less than a year later in October 1591. Milan, 1562. unknown

1822rif. CJW0802Paris: P. Didot l'ainé second volume Jules Didot l'ainé 1822-26. FIRST EDITION. 641 x 495 mm. 25 1/4 x 19 1/2". Lacking the dedication leaf and subscriber list present in the Abbey copy. Two volumes. Edited by Jean Frédéric d'Ostervald. Contemporary red straight-grain morocco textured paper boards gilt titling on spine edges untrimmed. One map as called for though the Abbey copy has two and 92 ACCOMPLISHED AND BEAUTIFULLY HAND-COLORED AQUATINT PLATES OF SICILIAN VIEWS. Abbey "Travel" 262; Graesse VI 400; Brunet V 1379. ◆Moderate rubbing to joints and elsewhere covers with some scars other minor problems externally but the original bindings entirely solid--and surprisingly so for such an immense book with so many fabulous pictures to look at. Preliminary leaves and text lightly to substantially foxed a half dozen plates with faint overall browning one tissue guard missing the margins of perhaps half the engravings with foxing usually light though noticeable in three or four cases in the second volume but still a very pleasing copy of a beautifully illustrated book the marginal foxing seldom distracting and the engraved images themselves clear and clean afflicted by neither foxing nor the dreaded offsetting from the text. This is an extraordinarily rare copy of one of the most beautiful color plate travel books having to do with Italy. The large and luminous views of Sicily in our two volumes capture the magic of the island as experienced by the traveller of the early 19th century. Sicily's well-preserved Greek temples are of course featured but port scenes Medieval churches picturesque villages and the interior of Etna's crater are also depicted all in exquisite color. The engravings each accompanied by letter press explanations are of great interest and beauty and all but one of them are full-blooded tableaux rather than plans or assemblages of small images. The size of the engraved surface varies on the page as does the distance of the subject from the viewer: we are treated to everything from wide panoramic views to confining inner spaces. While the colors cannot be called pastel they are far from garish with lovely grays typically giving a softness to a scene that often employs subtle shades of yellow blue and green. The plates are memorable for their use of light and shadow to give a convincing feeling of three-dimensionality amidst luminous skies darkened interiors and a number of other variably lit settings. The book was originally published in 24 parts and includes an historical précis by Gigault de La Salle giving an overview of events from antiquity to his own time. Abbey calls the work "the most ambitious of the coloured aquatint books edited by J. F. d'Ostervald" who produced a number of works on the picturesque including two famous oversized editions focusing on regions in France. The book has always commanded a premium price: the unbound sheets were sold at the time of publication for the whopping sum of £34. In his note to the reader Ostervald tells of his search among the portfolios of the artists of Switzerland Germany and England for the perfect materials for this collection. The plates cite the names of the artist and engraver and Abbey notes that "English artists or engravers were responsible for nearly half" of the plates. Among these was Richard Parkes Bonington 1802-28 the tragically short-lived painter whose romantic works were greatly admired by Delacroix. Abbey estimates that about 500 copies of the book were produced and comments that the book is "certainly rare in this country at all events only three copies being reported at auction in the last fifty years." The rarity of the book has not surprisingly increased since Abbey's remark: complete copies with colored plates are still hard to find. P. Didot, l'ainé [second volume Jules Didot l'ainé] unknown
