About This Item
In Vinegia Appresso Gabriel Giolito de Ferrari, 1560. Large 8vo, 234 x 158 mms., pp. [xxxviii], 1004, with fine historiated initials through out, occasional marginal note in a 17th century owner's hand, that of Marchese Amico, whose autograph appears on the front paste-down end-paper, 19th century half sheepskin, gilt spine, marbled boards (a little rubbed). Remigio Nannini (1521 - 1581) was a respected and respectable Dominican man of letters, busily editing and translating scholarly works and the classics into Italian. He was employed by the publisher precisely to produce cheap (or cheap-ish) versions of classical works. In this work, first published in 1557, he has taken his material almost directly from dozens of sources, many of which have been identified by Nathalie Hester, in "Scholarly Borrowing: The Case of Remigio Nannini's Orationi Militari and Francois de Belleforest's Harangues Militaires," Modern Philology (November, 2003). Belleforest's later book was published in 1572. Salvatore Bongi, in Annali di Gabriel Giolito de' Ferrari da Trino di Monferrato stampatore in Venezia (1890 - 95) describes this edition as preferable to the first.
