About This Item

Monumenta Bergomensia, Bergamo, first edition, 1972. Rexine, gilt cover-title and decoration, large 8vo, 34 cm,. 71, [1] p. 183 colour ills and 231 black-and-white ills. From the introduction: "Al lettore, poiché è nostro intento illustrare uno di quei personaggi dei quali suol dirsi che sono 'noti come ignoti', più nominati che conosciuti, abbiamo creduto che il nostro servizio di 'editori' dovesse primamente dedicarsi alla presentazione ampia e fedele del 'materiale di studio', cioè della produzione miniatoria, di copiosità e qualità non comuni, che, a partire dalla fine del '700, un 'si dice' più o meno timido e continuo attribuisce al personaggio Iacopo de Balsemo; la qual produzione, poi, è un delizioso nutrimento e un cattivante capitolo di storia dell'arte quattrocentesca, ben meritevole per se stessa di essere conosciuta e goduta, qualunque sia per apparire la sua pa- ternità. E abbiamo creduto che il nostro servizio di 'critica' dovesse anzitutto attendere alla perlustrazione del bosco, pressoché inesplorato, delle fonti documentarie, necessario prolegómeno a ogni studio futuro dell'artista. Shallow knife-cut scratch to surface of front board (about 10 cm), otherwise Very Good.
