About This Item

Appresso Cosimo Giunti, Stampato in Firenze (Florence): ., 1600 pp. [1], 93 [i.e. 95], [1]. Irregularities in numbering, but apparently complete. Small 4to. 220 mm. Engraved title page. The colophon has a wood engraved Giunti Fleur-de-lis and the text: In Fiorenza, Nella Stamperia di Cosimo Gionti. 1600. Con licenzia de'Superiori (very similar to the wording on the title page). Decorative initials in the text as well as typographic and wood engraved head and tail pieces. The engraved title is most unique, as it appears unfinished or a work in progress. It is meant to represent the promise of the youthful hero of the poems. Michelangelo is said to have prized this book. Some old worming and age stain, but generally good. Loose, in an early flexible vellum binding. On the engraved title is an old ownership stamp of the Bibliotheque Marseille; and a larger oval stamp in red indicating that the book was sold in 1845. Raffael Gualterotti (1543-1638) was, among other things, the chief astrologer at the Medici Court. A claim is made that he built a very early spyglass/telescope in 1590. RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SAFE ADD 1. Soft cover. Fair.
