1704In -folio, pp. (6), 104, (1), XIV tavole a piena pagina, una ripiegata; illustrazioni nel testo. Cartonato posteriore, copia a pieni margini, qualche strappetto restaurato e lievi macchie di umidità. Ex libris manoscritto Biblioteca Pinelli, 1789, al margine superiore del frontespizio; altre note di possesso successive riportate sul foglio di guardia. Alcune delle tavole sono state rilegate in disordine ma il libro è completo anche del foglio di errata alla fine (in alcuni esemplari l’errata precede p. 3). L’ordine dell’Elefante è il più alto ordine cavalleresco danese, conferito per tradizione solo ai capi di stato, con rare eccezioni fra cui l’astronomo Tycho Brahe, lo scienziato Niels Bohr e il Generale Montgomery successivamente alla Seconda Guerra Mondiale. Il libro è un trentennale lavoro di raccolta di materiali sulla storia dell’ordine e sulla sua iconografia, ricerca estesa all’iconografia dell’elefante in generale (si veda la tav. I che riproduce insegne, monete, sculture raffiguranti l’elefante o afferenti a esso - c’è anche la scultura sottostante al noto obelisco del Bernini), materia della quale questo libro costituisce un esempio a suo modo unico e irripetibile. Some of the plates have been misplaced in bound but the book is complete also of the errata leaf at the end. The Elephant one is the highest herald order in Denmark, given only to heads of State, with rare exceptions (as, for instance, the Danish astronomer Tycho Brahe). The book comes from a 30 years research and collection of stuff about the history of this order and its iconography. In a wider sense the book can be considered an original research on elephant iconography, a matter of which this book is a unique example.
