Preface

Some thirteen years ago, while working towards the completion of Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English Translation, I was able to note in my preface the award of the Nobel Prize in Literature to Dario Fo, playwright, performer, and social activist. The announcement was greeted with approval in some areas, and in others with criticism, as has so often been the case with the annual literature awards. Fo was derided for his politics by the Italian right, while much of the literary establishment was outraged that Fo should have been recognized before other Italian contemporary writers (though as I write, an image of Fo still appears at the head of the official web page for the literature prize). A work treating writers before 1900 will not have to deal with such controversy; and few scholars would now care to disparage the works, or even the politics, of Dante, or Machiavelli, or Galileo, or Manzoni. What is there, then, to be celebrated in the current state of translations of Italian works from a century ago and more? Three publishing initiatives stand out. The first is the continuing engagement of poets, translators, and poet-translators, and of their publishers with the Commedia of Dante Alighieri. The second and third redound to the credit of individual publishers. They are the series I Tatti Renaissance Library from Harvard University Press, and The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe from the University of Chicago Press. Since 1990 there have been eight new translations of the complete Commedia, and twelve new translations of the Inferno, three of the Purgatorio, and three of the Paradiso — and this is to say nothing of the dozens of reprints of the versions by Cary, Longfellow, Ciardi, Mandelbaum, and others. Major publishers are quite willing to publish Dante. Among the publishers of recent translations from the Commedia are Dent, Doubleday, Dover, Farrar Straus and Giroux, Knopf, the Modern Library, Norton, Oxford University Press,

Pantheon, Penguin, and Vintage. The 44 titles so far published in the continuing I Tatti series present reliable Latin texts, with readable facing page English translations, of major works of the Italian Renaissance. The volumes in this series, which began publishing in 2001, have been praised for their rigorous scholarship, their elegant design, and their sensible price, while one reviewer commented that “the I Tatti series is already beginning to transform the study and teaching of Renaissance culture.” The works may be literary, historical, philosophical, or scientific, and the some thirty writers include Boccaccio (his Famous Women) from the fourteenth century, Pope Pius II (his autobiographical Commentaries) from the fifteenth century, and Teofilo Folengo (his macaronic narrative poem Baldo) from the sixteenth century. The I Tatti series has made many works newly accessible to readers without Latin, but The Other Voice series has gone some way towards filling a yet more serious gap in the field of English translations from Italian and Latin; the dearth of works by women. Of the 1500 writers represented in this bibliography, fewer than 85 (5.7%) are women, and of those women, Catherine of Siena alone is among the 40 writers with the greatest number of published editions in translation. Only six women writers before 1900 are represented among the more than 350 writers treated in the standard Dictionary of Italian Literature (1979, revised 1996). To go back a little further, Ernest Hatch Wilkins mentions, briefly, only seven early women as writers among hundreds of men in his A History of Italian Literature (1954). The Chicago series, which began publishing in 1996, includes at the time of writing 60 volumes, of which 26 are by Italian women. Among the writers now published for the first time in English are the fifteenthcentury feminist Laura Cereta, the sixteenthcentury poet and polemicist Moderata Fonte, the seventeenth-century “aspiring saint” Cecilia Ferrazzi, and an eighteenth-century woman of

xii letters, Elisabetta Caminer Turra. This series, too, has been welcomed both by scholars and by general readers. I should also mention the University of Toronto Press’s own valuable Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian Library series, which since 2003 has published sixteen volumes, including most recently (and therefore not noted in this volume) a selection of Ariosto’s prose, and Leon Ebreo’s Dialogues of Love. For some 9% of the writers treated in the Dictionary of Italian Literature I have found no significant translations. All of these writers are men, but reference to the University of Chicago Library’s database of Italian women writers reveals just how many women are not represented in translation even by excerpts (and also how many are not currently available in print even in Italian editions). Of the editions of translations which have been published since 1929, many are reprints of earlier translations, and the reprints, whether in facsimile or otherwise, are often lacking in meaningful editorial intervention. Nevertheless, in part because of this republication of earlier translations, the coverage of Italian writers in this bibliography is probably more comprehensive, overall, than that of twentieth-century Italian writers in my earlier volume, where important writers were found to be completely neglected (though some have since been translated), and contemporary writers, even when best-sellers in Italy, received short shrift. English-language commercial publishers continue to issue editions of translations of steadyselling writers such as Marco Polo, Boccaccio, Machiavelli, Benvenuto Cellini, Carlo Collodi, and others. Religious publishers, such as Tan Books, keep up the statistics for St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Francis, St. Bonaventure, St. Catherine of Siena, the Redemptorist founder St. Alphonsus Liguori, and other figures. What is to me more significant is that the university, association, and society presses are continuing to publish worthwhile new translations, funded in various ways — through sales, by subscription and membership, by grant or by subsidy, or with help from translators who may themselves have secured funding. A word about omissions, deliberate or inadvertent. This bibliography has developed into a very long

Preface book. Even so, I have attempted to note each new edition of any translation, including the many editions of Symonds’s version of Cellini, of Marsden’s translation of Marco Polo, or of Murray’s Pinocchio. I have also included brief translations found in collections or biographies, particularly when no fuller translations of a writer have been published: an example here would be the versions of Pontano’s poems included in Carol Kidwell’s 1991 biography (Pontano’s Baiae has more recently been translated by Rodney G. Dennis for a volume in the I Tatti series). What I have not attempted is an exhaustive examination of the periodical literature, and there will, therefore, inevitably be translations in journals that are not recorded here. The most serious omissions will most probably be of translations of writers whom I have missed completely, notwithstanding the examination of a great many author lists. I would be most grateful if readers who identify omissions (or errors) could get in touch with me at [email protected]. The completion of this bibliography coincides with my retirement from the University of Toronto Library, where I have worked since 1980; since 1986 as specialist in fine art, Italian studies, and anthropology in the Collection Development Department. This gives me the happy opportunity to thank some of the many colleagues who have supported me, and from whom I have learned much, over the years. The only significance in the order of names is that it approximates the order in which I first met and worked with them: Solange Silverberg, Miguel Torrens, Carole Moore, Michael Rosenstock, Sharon Brown, John Whitepost, Lachlan McNair, Gale Moore, Joyce Chyrski, Graham Bradshaw, Sandra Alston, Dan Dagostino, Judy Snow, Don McLeod, Ksenya Kiebuzinski, and Weijing Yuan. Whether for thirty years, or for three, their help and advice has been invaluable. During my career it has also been my good fortune to propose and to create five exhibitions on Italian subjects for the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library. The enjoyment and satisfaction I gained from these initiatives was intensified by the opportunity to work with the Fisher’s rare books and special collections librarians, and also to benefit from their expertise in my bibliographic

Preface work. Thanks, therefore, to Richard Landon, the late Katharine Martyn, Anne Dondertman, Sandra Alston (now wearing her rare books hat), and to Philip Oldfield, Luba Frastacky, and P. J. Carefoote, who last year introduced me to the workings of book2net Kiosk scanner which produced the images. Among the many librarians and staff who have helped me in Toronto and elsewhere, special thanks go to Jane Lynch and her colleagues at the Interlibrary Loan department at the Robarts Research Library for their sterling, determined, and efficient service, and also to the more than 175 libraries across North America and abroad who were able to send books to Toronto. At the Department of Italian Studies I count myself fortunate to have been able to rely on the help and knowledge of Olga Pugliese, Domenico Pietropaolo, Francesco Guardiani, and Konrad Eisenbichler, and the late, much missed, Amilcare Iannucci. Ron Schoeffel, Acquisitions Editor at the University of Toronto Press, has been a constant

xiii source of encouragement and sound advice throughout the more than ten years that it has taken to bring this project to fruition. His consistent good humour and optimism has helped me through some challenging times. The Press’s specialist readers carefully pointed out gaps to be filled and errors to be corrected, and suggested at least one useful major addition. Ani Deyirmenjian, the Press’s Production Manager, was able to guide the technopeasant in me towards the production of the single, huge PDF file that contains the final form of this book. I would not have been able to bring this work to completion without the love and support of my family: my wife Toni, and our daughters Elspeth and Emma. I have tried their patience severely over the years of work, but I hope that they will find the result worthwhile.

Introduction

This book complements the work begun with my Twentieth-Century Italian Literature in English Translation (1998). It is an enumerative bibliography of all English-language translations of Italian writings before 1900 which have been published in book form between 1929 and 2008. It thus presents as complete a record as possible of the distinct editions of published translations of writings of all kinds by Italian authors, wherever these translations might have appeared. While the majority of these translations have been made from Italian language originals, many are from works first written and published in Latin, the international language of scholarship and of the Church for much of the medieval and early modern period. A significant number were also first written down and published in dialects of Italian. Some of these dialects, for example Sicilian and Venetian, are in fact distinct languages, predating the Tuscan Italian which became the accepted literary language of the peninsula well before the Risorgimento, the nineteenth-century movement which led to the unification of Italy and the establishment of the Italian state. Because it covers almost all types of writing, this volume is much greater in scope than the volume dealing with the twentieth century. It seemed to me to make little sense to attempt to draw a sharp distinction between “literary” and “non-literary” writers or texts for the early period. Many of the medieval religious writers and writers on religious topics expressed themselves as much in poetry as in prose — St. Francis of Assisi, for example — while many of the most interesting writers of the early modern period were philosophers, scientists, political writers and historians, theologians, literary and linguistic scholars, and writers of courtesy books. It would be nonsensical to exclude Machiavelli or Galileo, two of the greatest of early modern Italian prose writers, because they wrote little poetry or fiction, or to exclude Pico della Mirandola, Marsilio

Ficino, and Giambattista Vico because they were, chiefly, philosophers. Similarly, to exclude translations from Latin would have meant the exclusion of great figures like Thomas Aquinas and Bonaventure, and also the exclusion of great works by Dante, Boccaccio, Petrarch, and many others which were written in Latin rather than in the vernacular. While the great majority of these translations have been published in Britain or the United States, many other countries, from New Zealand to the Netherlands, from China to Spain, and from Ireland to India, are also represented. Licensed editions — for example, of British or American books also issued in Australia or in Canada — have not usually been listed separately. Titles published in non-print form, that is, for the most part, titles available only in electronic form or as microforms, have been excluded. Also excluded, with a few exceptions, are large print books, book club editions, on-demand reprints, and theses (unless republished in commercial editions). I have largely excluded official publications of churches and governments (with the exception of some important encyclical letters). I have not attempted to deal with the complex and extensive field of broadsides or broadsheets. This bibliography is concerned primarily with translations published in book form, whether the book is a pamphlet of sixteen pages or a multivolume work. However, certain other significant types of publication are also included. Periodical issues which are principally or entirely devoted to the presentation of Italian literature in English translation will be found in the main bibliographical sequence (see, for example, Studies in pre-Vesalian Anatomy, an issue of Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society, entry 7563), as will translations from Italian which form a substantial part of broader anthologies (for example, the Italian section in An Anthology of

Introduction World Poetry, entry 2901), or of periodical issues (for example, Vico’s Primo and Secondo Ragionamento in New Vico Studies, entry 0184). In the case of drama, all identified translations of complete plays longer than sketches have been included: in some cases a periodical publication marks the first and only appearance of a translation or adaptation of an Italian play. Plays printed in general play collections are also included. For works of fiction, individual stories, novelle, or excerpts from novels are included if they are of substantial length (roughly, twenty pages or more; for example, the translations from Boccaccio included in Chaucer: Sources and Backgrounds, entry 7723), or if they are otherwise significant (as, for example, the early versions of tales by Boccaccio, Bandello, and Giraldi in George Whetstone’s An Heptameron, first published in 1582, entry 8853). For poetry, a similar rule has been applied, which allows for the inclusion of a group of poems translated from the works of a single poet which appears in a monograph, periodical or anthology (for example, Eleanor Clark’s translation of sonnets by G. G. Belli in her Rome and a Villa, entry 5226, representing the first appearance of Belli in this bibliography, and the versions by Anthony Burgess included in his novel Abba Abba, entry 7710; or Synge’s translations of sonnets by Petrarch included in The Complete Works of J. M. Synge, entry 3617a). In the very broad field of prose writings I have generally not included brief extracts from previously published translations when they are reprinted in general anthologies or textbooks — the full translations are usually already listed in this bibliography. I have tried to include brief translations made specifically for inclusion in a monograph or an anthology, particularly when they are by writers not otherwise represented. What has not been attempted is a listing of all published translations of Italian poems, stories, or brief prose excerpts from the thirteenth to the nineteenth centuries. Such a listing, while feasible, would constitute a considerable work in its own right. Other forms of publication excluded from the bibliography are translations of Italian writers who write exclusively for children, and most libretto translations published as accompaniments to

xv scores, or to recordings. For the purpose of this bibliography, “writers before 1900” means writers writing and publishing in Italian, dialects of Italian, or Latin before 1900. Many writers who must be properly be regarded as belonging to the nineteenth century but who continued writing into the twentieth century, such as Carducci, Fogazzaro, Giacosa, and Verga, are included in my twentieth-century volume for the editions of translations of their works published in 1929 and later. No works by these transitional writers are included in this volume, with the exception of works also including contributions from writers not active in the twentieth century (for example, The Verdi-Boito Correspondence, entry 9481). The exceptions to this rule allow me to include translations by non-literary writers (that is to say, writers not included in the twentieth-century volume) who published in the nineteenth century and who continued to be active into the twentieth (for example, the criminologist Cesare Lombroso (1835-1909) or the anarchist Errico Malatesta (1853-1932)). Where an Italian writer has also written works in languages other than Italian and its dialects or Latin, as did Dante’s mentor Brunetto Latini with his medieval French Li livres dou trésor, only the translations of works written originally in Italian are included. In cases of uncertainty the bibliography errs on the side of inclusion. When an author sometimes makes his own translations or English adaptations, as does the scholar and lexicographer John Florio, or the dancer, ballet company director, and artist Carlo Blasis, these are in-cluded. The works of Italian emigrant, exile, missionary, and foreign-born writers, wherever they might have lived and worked — Niccolò Manucci in India, Giordano Bruno in Switzerland, France, England, and Germany, Matteo Ricci in China, the London-born John Florio — are included when they can be identified as translations from existing Italian or Latin editions or versions. Many translations, particularly those of poems and short stories, are published in collections or anthologies. In such cases, wherever possible, the writers and translators represented are listed in a

xvi contents note and in the author and translator indexes. The titles of novelle, though not of individual short poems, are listed in the notes to the entry. The titles of stories and poems in collections are not indexed. In the case of collections by single authors where the English book corresponds to an original Italian edition, the individual pieces are not indexed. Where the collection draws on several of the writer’s works, the Italian or Latin titles are indexed, together with the English collective title and, where appropriate, the individual titles (see, for example, A Translation of the Latin Works of Dante Alighieri, entry 2925). Where the collection draws on the whole of the writer’s works, individual titles, plays and novelle are noted and indexed, while letters and short poems are neither noted by title nor indexed (see, for example, The Portable Machiavelli, entry 7944). With regard to the sources of information for the entries, where copies of the translations were available in Toronto libraries or in the other libraries visited, those copies were examined, and constitute the major part of the editions seen. As will be evident from the list of sources for the bibliographical records, the interlibrary loan service provided access to many other books. Other than this, reliance has been placed on the bibliographical information available in a wide variety of electronic, print, and microform sources (for example, OCLC WorldCat, the British Library Integrated Catalogue, the National Union Catalog, the British Library General Catalogue of Printed Books, and the Index Translationum). While such records, however accurate, are no substitute for having the book, or several copies of the book, in hand, they have made it possible to include information for several hundred editions that I was not able to examine at first hand. For the most part, these records are for editions of works which have been treated at greater length or in more detail elsewhere in the bibliography. Toronto is fortunate in having at least three good collections of Italian literature in translation. The majority of the books seen were found in the various libraries of the University of Toronto system (principally the Robarts Research Library, which houses the main humanities and social

Introduction science collections, but also in several of the college collections, and in particular those of the University of St. Michael’s College and Victoria University), at the Toronto Reference Library, and at the main library of York University. The advantage of Canadian collections for the purpose of this bibliography is that they draw on both British and American publishers for their acquisitions, and thus collect British editions that would not be found in many American libraries and American editions that would be found in few British libraries. Some time was also spent in public libraries in the Brighton area in England, and at the University of Sussex Library, and, in the United States, at Brown University Library in Providence, Rhode Island, at the New York Public Library, and at the University of Michigan Library in Ann Arbor. At the same time, a careful search was made of available bibliographic databases and print and microform sources. Each facet of this research suggested new possibilities for authors and books known to be translated, or which might possibly have been translated. The print Index Translationum (with its CD-ROM update), for example, because it sets out to record all translations, organized by country of publication, indicated authors who might otherwise have been missed, and whose names could then be searched in the large bibliographical databases. The databases, in turn, were useful in identifying subsequent editions and reprints of known translations. The Global Books in Print electronic resource was similarly useful for tracking down editions and reprints, and had the added advantage of listing new translations, frequently before they were listed in the national bibliographies. For some of the older material issued in cheap paperback editions (which seldom survive long in public library collections, and are seldom bought for university library collections), American and British in-print sources for paperbacks provided at least basic information. The search process was more or less tedious, depending on the arrangement of the bibliographical information (simple author or title lists, as opposed to lists arranged by Dewey classification), but all sources, from library collections to publishers’ lists, contributed items to the bibliography.

Introduction In 1931, Nancy C. Shields published her Italian Translations in America, which provides an annotated chronological listing of translations, in almost all subject areas, from authors of all periods writing in Italian, published in the United States up to the end of 1928. Shields did not cover certain classes of material which she felt were already adequately treated elsewhere (for example, the works of Dante), or which might better be handled as a special project (for example, librettos). She also omitted recording periodical publications, textbooks (such as grammars, dictionaries, and readers), songs and song-books, and religious tracts (unless they seemed to her to have some general cultural interest). Lastly, Shields created appendices for the many editions of individual works, and for anthologies, collections, rewritings, résumés, and paraphrases of the writings of St. Alfonso Maria de’ Liguori (1696-1787), founder of the Order of the Redemptorist Fathers. I should admit that the fifty-three entries for Liguori in this volume do not include all of the many unmodified reprints of editions of his works. The present bibliography takes the end of Shields’s chronological sequence as its starting point, and retains her chronological presentation of the entries, but is otherwise different in scope and in intent. Most obviously, its focus is restricted to works written by Italian authors active before 1900, translated into English, and published anywhere in the world. This concentration on writings from the thirteenth to the nineteenth centuries reduces the number of possible entries, while the expansion of the geographical coverage greatly increases the number of editions of individual works. A majority of the titles translated were eventually published both in Great Britain and in the United States, whether in essentially identical form, or with spelling and vocabulary changes appropriate to their British and American audiences. Thus Shields, with her broad coverage of the first, comparatively sparse, two centuries of Italian translations in America, presents almost 1400 entries, while this bibliography includes almost 5200 entries. The inclusion of Dante (468 entries), and of librettos (with 190 entries for Verdi alone), has had an obvious impact here, but the absolute increase in the rate of production of modern translations and the reprinting of earlier transla-

xvii tions has also had a marked effect. Decade by decade (with the exception, for obvious reasons, of the 1940s) the number of titles and editions published has increased consistently, from 461 entries for the period 1929 to 1939, to 951 entries for the period 2000 to 2008. In her often extensive notes Shields places emphasis on the publishing history of the Italian editions and the translations, lists the contents of collections or anthologies, and includes quite detailed information on the translators, when such information was available. The present work makes use of a uniform title to identify the original Italian edition, and uses the notes area to list contents, to provide some information about texts, to present some contemporary critical judgments, and to give brief biographical sketches of the authors and some details, where available, on the careers of the translators. The biographical notes will be useful to readers unfamiliar with earlier Italian writers and related aspects of Italian civil, political, religious, scientific, artistic, and literary culture; the excerpts from reviews will be useful to readers interested in questions of the reception of translations, and in particular of new translations of classic texts; the notes on translators and the translator index make it possible to follow the careers of individual translators, whether from the sixteenth or the twentieth centuries, and whether specialists like the Galileo scholar Stillman Drake or the Leonardo scholar John Venerella, or the very many individual translators of the poems of Dante Alighieri or Petrarch. Another early work which has been useful in guiding me towards more recent editions of translations is Mary Augusta Scott’s Elizabethan Translations from the Italian (1916). In the first instance this is because Scott’s bibliography provided the names of Italian writers who had been translated in the Elizabethan era and who could possibly have been translated again more recently, and in the second because many of those Elizabethan translations have themselves been reprinted in facsimile or in new editions since 1929. There have been several contributions to the bibliography of Italian literature in translation since 1931, though none as comprehensive as that of Shields. The Italian section, by Joseph G. Fucilla, in part one of The Romance Literatures (volume three of The Literatures of the World in English

xviii Translation), published in 1970, gives an alphabetical list by author of translations in the areas of fiction, poetry, drama, and criticism for the modern period (that is, 1600-1900) and for the contemporary period. Collections are listed separately. All published editions of a title are noted in one entry, occasionally with very brief notes. In 1973 the journal Italica published a special issue on Italian literature in English translation, which included Christopher Kleinhenz’s article “Italian literature in translation: a bibliography of currently available texts,” an alpha-betical author list covering all periods and based on entries in Books in Print for 1971 and 1972, British Books in Print for 1972, and the British National Bibliography for 1970, 1971, and 1972. Bibliographical notes are often to be found in journals dealing with Italian studies, for example the eponymous Italian Studies (1937- ) with its ‘Works of Italian interest’ section and its list of books received. Reference works on Italian literature, whether general, such as The Oxford Companion to Italian Literature (2002), or specialized, such as Women’s Writing in Italy, 1400-1650 (2008) provide much useful information. Also, studies concerned with translation, such as The Oxford History of Literary Translation in English (2005- ), will include useful bibliographies, while general and specialized studies of Italian writings in all fields can highlight the translated works of authors neglected in reference works which concentrate on Italian literature. All these types of sources have provided useful information for this bibliography. The table which follows lists the 35 writers who appear in the largest number of entries (for this purpose, composers and librettists have been excluded). The first column gives the total number of entries in which each author appears, the second column gives the number of editions for which that author is the main entry, and the third column gives the total number of separate texts which have been translated for each author. The reader will note the contrast between Aquinas, with 55 distinct texts translated, and Marco Polo, with just one; or of Goldoni, with 35 texts (chiefly plays, with some librettos) translated, and Castiglione with one, his Book of the Courtier. Again, Antonio Rosmini, the Catholic priest and philosopher, appears in only 36

Introduction entries, but 20 of his works have been translated, while Carlo Collodi’s 149 entries are, with two exceptions, all for Pinocchio. While the twentieth-century volume was notable for the relative preponderance of translations of fiction, this volume, covering all types of writing for the earlier centuries, demonstrates rather the preponderance of a small number of important writers and of a smaller number of classic texts of great interest to both the scholar and to the general reader, as well as to publishers.

Total (35 authors)

In the bibliography, over 1500 writers are represented among the 5180 entries, but the 35 authors who have been most translated (that is, just over 2.3% of all the authors) appear in 3588 of the entries (that is, in a little over 69%). If the five leading librettists (Piave, Da Ponte, Cammarano, Romani, and Ghislanzoni) are added then these 40 writers (representing just under 2.7% of the total) appear in 3983 of the 5180 entries (that is, in almost 77%). Dante alone appears in just over 9% of all entries, with Machiavelli and Thomas Aquinas each in 6%, Boccaccio in 5%, and Petrarch in over 4%. If the leading 40 writers are divided by genre (always remembering that the great poets like Dante, Petrarch, and Leopardi were also prose writers, that storytellers like Boccaccio and Aretino also wrote poetry, that the polymath Leonardo and the political writer Machiavelli wrote works in many genres, and that the artist Michelangelo was one of the great poets of his time), we find seven poets, five prose writers, five theologians or religious writers, five biographers and memoirists, five philosophers, five librettists, four dramatists,

two scientists, and two political writers. The nature of the business of publishing in the twentieth and early twenty-first centuries with respect to these early writers falls into five main parts. The publishers who concentrate on the general and popular markets will publish Dante, often in new translations, Boccaccio, Collodi, Cellini, Marco Polo, and a few others. The publishers of religious materials will choose St. Francis of Assisi, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Bonaventure, and their colleagues through the centuries. Specialist publishers will take care of plays, librettos, and the less popular poets and prose writers. Academic and university-linked presses — Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Chicago, California, and the rest — will publish translations intended for the library and academic markets, often in genre-specific series such as Chicago’s The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe, or Harvard’s The I Tatti Renaissance Library. Publishers who specialize in reprints or facsimiles of earlier editions — some long-established and ongoing, like Dover or Scolar; some genre-specific, like Theatrum Orbis Terrarum/Da Capo with the facsimile series The English Experience — fill what they see to be the gaps in the library and academic markets. Hundreds of other publishers, whether small presses, association presses, or special interest presses, each add a few titles to the total. The publisher index lists more than 1720 imprints. Of these, just ten publishers (Oxford, Scolar, Dover, Penguin, Dent, Chicago, Yale, Garland, Da Capo, and Harvard), comprising less than 0.6% of the total, accounted for 642 entries, that is, 12.4% of all entries. In my volume devoted to the literature of the twentieth century, I was able to comment on the greater part of Italian twentieth-century literature which had not been translated into English (Healey 1998: xvii-xviii). Forty-three of the hundred novels considered the best or the most important and discussed in Cento romanzi italiani (1901-1995) had not been translated, while of the 183 authors listed in the bibliography Italian Novelists of the Twentieth Century, no novels had been translated for 74 of them, and for another 40, one work only. A 1996 list of Italian bestsellers noted 65 works of fiction. Of these only one, Alessandro Baricco’s

xx Seta, had thus far been translated into English. The situation in the field of poetry was somewhat similar, though the typical book of poetry in translation by a single author would be a selection from the poet’s output rather than a translation of a single work. Modern Italian drama was, if anything, less well represented, with only the playwrights Pirandello, Betti, Fo, and Fratti standing out, and the quarterly translations in the sixteen-year run of Italian Theatre Review pushing the total towards respectability. The problem of getting Italian literature translated and published is discussed briefly in the twentieth-century bibliography (Healey 1998: xvii, xviii-xix). For the earlier period represented in this volume the figures reveal a somewhat different structure for publication. Many more writers, 1506, are represented, but of them, most are represented by a few translations or extracts, while the 35 most translated writers appear in 69% of the 5180 entries. Nevertheless, of the 232 writers before 1900 (in my scheme) who received individual entries or essays in the 1979 first edition of the Bondanellas’ Dictionary of Italian Literature, only 21, or a little under 9.5%, are not represented by a translation or extract in this bibliography. It should be pointed out that many of the translations were made before 1929, with a considerable number dating back to the sixteenth or seventeenth centuries. New editions of these early translations were common throughout the almost 80 years covered, with some concentration on facsimile reprints noted for the late 1960s and the 1970s. The chief similarity between the early period and the twentieth century resides in the limited number of writers who reach the contemporary mass market, and the limited number of titles which become bestsellers or steady sellers — for the twentieth century, for example, Alberto Moravia, Christ Stopped at Eboli, the Don Camillo stories of Giovanni Guareschi, The Leopard, and Umberto Eco; for the early period, the Divine Comedy, Marco Polo, the Decameron, Machiavelli’s Prince, Benvenuto Cellini’s Autobiography, and Pinocchio. The difference is that all the twentieth-century successes are fiction (or, in the case of Carlo Levi, a memoir cast as fiction), while the early works span poetry, fiction, the political tract, the memoir, and travel writing.

Introduction There is, however, a marked contrast in the structure of the translation process. For the popular books of the early period there have been many distinct translations (in the case of Dante, very many, though not until the nineteenth century and after), while a single translation has been the norm for twentieth-century works. Part of this does have to do with copyright law: the early texts are out of copyright, and may be translated at will; the rights to recent titles are more closely protected and, in any case, one good (or even workmanlike) translation is seen as adequate. The reasons for the multiplicity of translations of early works are various: very many poets and translators have responded to the challenges of the Divine Comedy, while many publishers appreciate that any new translation is likely to sell at least adequately. The stories of Boccaccio, always steady sellers, are published in new or revised translations as the readers’ tolerance for sexual content or archaic diction changes. New generations of students and teachers respond to different translations, with or without annotations or commentary, of essential texts like The Prince. Students of the scholarship and economics of translation will study the waxing and waning of interest in new translations of classic authors and texts, while suppressing a yawn at yet another unedited re-edition of Symonds’s aged translation of Benvenuto Cellini. Perhaps of greater interest in the context of this bibliography are the translations of rare and unusual texts. These build up year by year towards an impressive achievement. I will list a few examples from the 1950s which will set in relief the treasures available in translation (even if only, for the most part, in academic libraries): 1950 saw the publication in English of Gaspare Tagliacozzi’s 1597 book on what would now be called plastic and reconstructive surgery; Antonio Scaino’s book on real tennis, originally published in 1550, appeared in English in 1951; in 1952 a translation of the naturalist Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti’s book on diseases of grains (1767) was published; among the many translations of interest published in 1953 were those of Bernardino Amico’s 1609 illustrated book on important buildings of the Holy Land, and of two unpublished accounts of Tudor England; 1954 saw two translations of Carlo Collodi’s story about Pip, a

little rose-coloured monkey, first published in Italian in 1887; finally, 1955 welcomed a reprint of the translation of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II’s book on the art of falconry, dated to about 1229, and published in English in 1943. The market for such books will never be a large one, but they are useful books, and necessary, and they contribute to the English-speaking world’s understanding of the history and backgrounds of Italian literature, culture, and civilization — and also, therefore, of our own. I began work on my bibliographies of English translations of Italian writings some seventeen years ago, in the autumn of 1993. At that time it would have been unusual for the texts that I dealt with to be made available as computer files. Now that it is done — from Aquinas to Eco, and from Dante Alighieri to Dario Fo — many of the translations in print in 2010 are also available as ebooks, and the texts of translations from the reign of Elizabeth Tudor to the reign of Elizabeth Windsor are gathered together in huge collections and made available, sometimes even freely available, through the internet. The original texts, too, together with translations, commentaries, illustrations, and critical works, are available at

elegant web sites, constructed by academics and software specialists, and maintained, updated, and transformed as the technology advances. A bibliography of this kind will not, if I have done my work competently, have to be done again. And were I to begin a new bibliography, on Italian literature or on any other topic, it would be constructed from the beginning as an electronic resource. We may, still, not favour reading novels or poems on our Kindles or iPhones (and even less on our computer screens), but reference works like bibliographies now properly belong in electronic form. Nevertheless, the sentences with which I ended the introduction to my twentieth-century volume apply just as well to this new work, and the reader who browses through this bibliography may often be pleasantly surprised to find that this author or that poet has been translated, and may learn something new about the writers and about their reception. A good annotated bibliography should encourage the readers who consult it to look for the books that, on the basis of the information that the bibliographer provides, will likely appeal to them. It is to be hoped that this bibliography, too, will contribute to the growth of the English-speaking readership for Italian writings of all eras.

0216 CASTIGLIONE, Baldassarre 3 [Il libro del cortegiano (1528)] 4 The book of the courtier. Baldesar Castiglione; the Singleton translation; an authoritative text, criticism, edited by Daniel Javitch, New York University. 5 1st ed. 6 New York; London: W. W. Norton and Company, c2002. 7 (A Norton critical edition) 8 [4], v-xvi, [2], 3-404, [4] pp. 2

9 Singleton’s translation was first published by Doubleday in 1959. This Norton edition includes ten critical assessments of the book and its influence by American, English and Italian scholars. Daniel Javitch is Professor of Comparative Literature at New York University; his publications include Proclaiming a Classic: The Canonization of Orlando furioso.

1. Each entry in the main body of the bibliography has been assigned a four- or five-digit reference number. The first two digits refer to the year of publication. W ithin each year the entries are numbered consecutively, and are ordered alphabetically by the main entry; that is, the author (or the first or principal author of a work by up to three authors), or, for collections and other multi-author works, the title. W here an author has more than one translated work published in a year, those entries are ordered alphabetically by the title of the translation. In the sample record, Castiglione’s The Book of the Courtier is the sixteenth entry for 2002. The indexes refer to an entry number rather than to a page number. 2. Main entry. All books, and all separately listed

xxii sections of books and extracts from periodical publications, are listed under the author’s name as the main entry. W here there are two or three authors for a single entry, the one mentioned first or given prominence on the title page is given the main entry. For collections, and for works with more than three authors, the English title becomes the main entry. 3. Uniform title. W here a translation corresponds directly to an Italian book, the Italian (or Latin) title becomes the uniform title for the entry. The Italian title, in italic type, is followed by the date of the original Italian edition. W here only part of the original work has been translated, the conventional term “Selections” is added to the uniform title. W hen the translation does not correspond to an individual Italian title, conventional terms such as “Poems. Selections” or “Fiction. Selections” are used. It is assumed that the translation is published in English only; therefore the term “English” does not appear in each uniform title, as it might in a more general bibliography. W hen the published translation is printed with the original Italian or Latin text, as is often the case with poetry, and with much other literature, the term “English and Italian (Latin)” is appended to the uniform title. A uniform title is not assigned when the original publication is bilingual, or when it has not been possible to identify an Italian edition (e.g., when the translation has been made from an Italian manuscript). Anthologies or collections originally edited for the English-language publisher have not been assigned uniform titles. 4. Title. The title is transcribed as it appears on the title page (or, in a few cases, the title opening), with adjustments to punctuation and capitalization only. A colon is used to separate a title proper and other title information. No attempt has been made to note line endings or record typographical changes. Multiple titles on one title page are separated by semicolons. Parallel titles are separated by a period. The title and the statement of responsibility are separated by a periods. The title is followed by the name of the author or authors, as these appear on the title page, including terms such as “by,” and honorifics or other details when present. In the case of collections or anthologies, the name of the editor or editors is recorded. The name of the translator or translators, with any associated phrases, follows the author statement, and is separated from it by a semicolon. If the name of the translator is not found on the title page, but is present elsewhere in the book, it is recorded enclosed in square brackets. In the case of collections, the names of the authors and the translators are normally recorded in a note. Mottoes on the title page are transcribed, and recorded in small type. Stories, plays, and poems or groups of poems which are listed separately in the bibliography, but which have been published as sections of books, or in issues of

Introduction periodicals, are recorded using the wording of the section title page, if present, or of the section caption title, or, failing this, of the wording in the contents entry. For the editions which the compiler has not seen, the form of the descriptive entry follows that of the bibliographic records which have provided the data, with only such adjustments (for example, to punctuation, or to allow for the inclusion of the author’s name) as are necessary to bring the form of the record into line with the guidelines for title page transcription noted above. 5. Edition. If there is an edition statement on the title page or the reverse of the title page, it is transcribed, normally in abbreviated form, and placed after the title and statement of responsibility. 6. Imprint. The place of publication, the publisher, and the date of publication are recorded in the standard abbreviated form. Up to three places of publication can be recorded, separated by semicolons. The names of publishers are given as they appear on the title page, with the exception that terms such as “Inc.” or “Ltd.” are not transcribed. If no place of publication is given, the standard abbreviation “S.l.” (for sine loco, “without place”) is used, within square brackets; if no publisher is named, the standard abbreviation “s.n.” (for sine nomine, “without name”) is supplied, also within square brackets. If no imprint or copyright date is given in the book, a date or an approximate date is supplied from whatever other data may be available. 7. Series. W hen a book is part of a series, numbered or unnumbered, that information is recorded after the imprint information. Title page statements of the type “A John Doe book” have generally not been recorded. 8. Pagination. The pagination statement for the editions for which a copy or copies have been examined is more detailed than that recorded in, for example, a Library of Congress bibliographic record, though considerably less detailed than that required in a descriptive bibliography. In modern books, for example, sheets which have passed through the press may provide leaves used as paste-down endpapers; these are not noted. W hat has been recorded are the free unnumbered pages at the beginning of a book (in arabic numerals within square brackets), numbered sequences (recorded in roman or arabic numerals, as they appear, but ignoring unnumbered pages within each numbered sequence), unnumbered pages between sequences, and unnumbered pages at the end of a book (both also recorded in arabic numerals within square brackets). Blank pages and leaves, and pages of announcements or advertisements, are counted. Leaves of plates not numbered in a main sequence are recorded separately. The presence of illustrations is noted, and portraits, maps, facsimiles, fold-out leaves, etc. are also recorded in the standard abbreviated form. 9 Notes. Most entries are accompanied by notes,

which can range from the very brief to the relatively extensive. Brief notes usually record such information as the existence of previous editions of the translated texts, and whether the present edition was issued as a paperback or was also issued in paper. For editions seen, cloth binding only may be assumed unless otherwise stated. For editions not seen, notes on the form of binding have only been added when the information has been obtained from a source bibliographical record, a publisher’s catalogue, an in-print source, or the like. More extensive notes will include details of the contents of collections, alternative titles, biographical information about the author and, if available, the translator, some brief information about the text, extracts from contemporary reviews, details of literary prizes awarded, and information about adaptations. Biographical information about an author or translator will generally be provided with the first book by the author or the translator to appear in the chronological sequence. The compiler of this bibliography has accumulated only a general knowledge of the immense range of Italian writings recorded in this book (though he does, like any reader, have his own opinions and preferences). Therefore, the critical opinions expressed in the notes, where no individual scholar or reviewer is named, are taken chiefly from the articles, books, dictionaries, and encyclopaedias listed in the bibliography of works consulted. 10 Sources of data. Abbreviations for the locations of copies examined (in roman type), or the sources for bibliographical information for editions not seen (in italic type), appear at the end of each record, after the notes, at the right margin. W hen an edition has not been seen an attempt has been made to find at least two independent print or online sources for bibliographical information for the entry. In many cases it has only been possible to examine one copy of an edition, and that information is supplemented by information from other sources. In many other cases it has been possible to examine three copies of an edition (or more, while recording only three). The level of bibliographic information is, therefore, not uniform throughout the bibliography. Indexes Author index. All authors of the Italian and Latin texts translated into English and listed in this bibliography appear in the index of authors. The few exceptions are for collections or anthologies not seen, and for which no contents listing has been found in a bibliographic source, and for anonymous works. Brief contributions to anthologies or collections are recorded beginning on the line following the author’s name, by entry number only. Then follow translations of complete books, of plays, whether published separately or as part of a collection or

a periodical publication, and in relatively few cases, of short stories or other extracts published separately in English or appearing in collections or periodical issues not specifically dedicated to Italian literature in translation. These are ordered alphabetically by their Italian titles, in italic type. Collections of essays, poems, or other writings by individual authors which do not correspond to separately published Italian originals are listed in the alphabetical arrangement under conventional headings such as [Poems. Selections], or [W orks. Selections], followed, where necessary to distinguish between translations, by the name of the translator or the date of English-language publication. Opera librettos are listed with the composer, by entry number only, and with the librettist or librettists, by title. The many translations of popular librettos such as that for La Traviata are further differentiated by recording the name of the translator in the index entry. Similarly, where a novel, play, or collection of poems has been translated more than once, distinction is made by appending the names of the translators to separate index listings. References are made from the real name of an author who writes under a pseudonym to the pseudonym by which the author is known; for example, from “Beolco, Angelo” to “Ruzzante,” or from “Zuccari, Anna Radius” to “Neera,” and the writer’s works are indexed under the pseudonym. In a few cases authors who first wrote under their own names also published under names by which they were later known. For example, Enea Silvio Piccolomini became Pope Pius II. In such cases, references are made from the original name to the later name, and all the works are indexed under the later name. Generally speaking, the form of name as established by the Library of Congress is accepted. Title index. The title index brings together in one alphabetical sequence the Italian or Latin and English titles of all the separately published monographs, novels, short story collections, poetry collections, essay collections, plays, librettos, collections of correspondence, and volumes of memoirs which make up the bibliography, together with the English titles of collections or anthologies which do not correspond to separately published Italian works. W here only part of an Italian work has been published in translation the conventional heading “Selections” follows the Italian title (e.g., Divina commedia. Selections). In addition, the English and Italian titles of plays, stories or novellas, and long poems or poem sequences appearing in collections or in periodicals have been indexed. The conventional forms such as “Poems. Selections” or “W orks. Selections” used in the entries and in the author index are not indexed as titles. For emphasis, and following the practice used in the uniform title field and the author index, the Italian titles are printed in italic type. Translator index. All identified translators from

xxiv Italian, or from an Italian dialect, of the works listed in this bibliography appear in the translator index, no matter how brief the contribution. In some cases, no translator is credited in the publication. W here an author is the translator of his or her own work, the author is indexed in both the author index and the translator index. Editor index. W hen an editor is named on the title page of a collection or anthology, that name is entered in the editor index. In most cases the editor will be the editor of the English-language book; in some cases the editor of an Italian-language edition or collection later translated into English is still named as editor in the translation, and is included in the index. In some cases the translator or one of the translators of a work has also selected the pieces included in the translation, and is therefore listed in the editor index (e.g., Stanley Appelbaum for The Decameron: Selected Tales, entry 0011). Illustrator index. W hen the illustrator of a book is named on the title page, or identified elsewhere in the publication, that name is entered in the illustrator index. Publisher index. The index of publishers includes all companies, organizations, or individuals named as the publisher on the title page or other front matter of the books and pamphlets listed in the bibliography. In the case of co-publications, each of the publishers is indexed. In the index, terms such as “Ltd.,” “Inc.,” etc. are omitted. Index entries are made under the brief form of the publisher’s name (e.g., Joseph, Knopf) and reference is made from the fuller forms (Michael Joseph, A. A. Knopf, Alfred A. Knopf). Reference is made from paperback series-like imprints (e.g., Four Square Books, Signet) to the publisher’s name (New English Library, New American Library). Paperback imprints of general

Introduction publishers (e.g., the Collier Books imprint of Macmillan) are indexed separately. The index is arranged alphabetically, in one sequence; that is, it is not divided by country of publication. Periodical index. Some entries in the bibliography, from individual essays, stories, plays, or longer poems to anthologies from one or several genres, have been published in periodicals. In some cases, an entire issue of a periodical has been devoted to Italian literature in translation. The titles of these magazines, journals, or annuals have been brought together to make up a separate periodical index. In a few cases translations published in periodicals have also been published as separate books; in such cases the publication is recorded both in the publisher index and in the periodical index. Series index. W hen a book is included in one or more named series, whether numbered or unnumbered, the title of each the series is recorded in the series index. W hen a book included in a series is later reprinted by another publisher, and the original series title still appears, the series title is enclosed in square brackets. Subject index. The subject index is based on headings accepted by the Library of Congress, together with any appropriate subheadings. It is intended to serve as an aid to readers whose interests are directed towards specific fields — for example: Accounting, Actors, Africa, Agriculture — or towards the biography of particular persons — such as Agnes, Princess of Bohemia, Leon Battista Alberti, or Vittorio Alfieri — or towards the history of organizations or groups — Benedictine nuns, Capuchins, or the Carracci family. W ritings by individuals can best be located by consulting the author index, or, if the English, Italian, or Latin title of a work is known, the title index.

Aldo Scaglione, for the Dictionary of Italian Literature, notes that: “The Elegia di Madonna Fiammetta is the first modern novel in epistolary form which concentrates upon the inner events of the character’s psyche. In this stylistic tour de force, the role of Fiammetta, who in Boccaccio’s literary career corresponds, mutatis mutandis, to Dante’s Beatrice and Petrarch’s Laura, and who appears constantly in Boccaccio’s fiction except in the Caccia, the Filostrato, and the Corbaccio, is curiously but most effectively reversed: she, rather than the man (who is sometimes understood as Boccaccio himself), is the jilted one.” (1979: 60). Concerning this luxury edition, A. F. Clutton-Brock commented, in the Times Literary Supplement: “Unhappily the margins of the pages are nor quite large enough, and two open pages of print look very weighty. An Elizabethan translation is usually very heavy reading, and we need to be enticed into it by a small, or at least a delicate page. But the producers of this book have at any rate the excuse that the Elizabethans themselves made their large books even more uninvitingly solid with close packed print. The illustrations ... remind one of the stage decorations which usually accompany an ordinary modern performance of Shakespeare.” M ichigan,OCLC

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

4 This is the first complete translation of a work important in English literary history. In his review for the Times Literary Supplement J. I. M . Stewart compares the Filostrato and Chaucer’s Troilus and Criseyde, for which it is a direct source. He writes: “In comparing the two poems to see how it was that Chaucer came, as he undoubtedly did, almost at a bound to overgo his new master, it is essential to bear in mind the conditions under which each composed. All six of the Italian writer’s romances are autobiographical in substance, but none, as M r. Griffin in his introduction insists, so entirely so as the ‘Filostrato.’ It was written by Boccaccio as a young man during a period of separation from his mistress M aria d’Aquina, whose accepted lover he had not yet in fact become and of whose affection and constancy he had good reason to doubt. To embody this anxious situation he chose, not very happily, the tale of Troilo and Criseida: and while the story thus gains a unity of mood it suffers in artistic detachment and flexibility. Boccaccio’s conception of love was not high; he exalts love without exalting the beloved ... ; and it is in himself as portrayed in Troilo that he is primarily interested. His concern for Criseida wanes from the moment of her departure; and he is faced in consequence with the difficulty of concentrating interest in a hero who plays an essentially passive part in the story. ... Chaucer’s advantage then is obvious. He approaches the story dispassionately; and if he thus loses the long, tense note of the original he establishes between the elements of the fable than Boccaccio could do.” As to the translation itself, Stewart writes: “To those whose knowledge of Italian is inadequate to unaided reading this prose translation ... should be welcome. The English is split up in paragraphs corresponding to the Italian stanzas, and the syntax and word order of the original are closely followed.” CRRS,M ichigan,UTL

2906 BONAVENTURE, Saint, Cardinal [Legenda Sancti Francisci (1263). Selections] The life of St. Francis of Assisi. By St. Bonaventure, from the Legenda Sancti Francisci; edited, with a preface, by His Eminence Cardinal Manning. 10th ed. London: Burns Oates & Washbourne, 1929. 187 pp. This translation, by M iss Lockhart, was first published in London by R. Washbourne in 1889. Bonaventure (ca. 12171274) was an older contemporary of Aquinas, and an opponent of the Aristotelian current of thought, including the teachings of

Thomas. A Franciscan friar, Bonaventure had been a friendly colleague of Thomas at Paris. A mystic as well as a theologian and scholastic philosopher, he placed more emphasis on faith and less on reason than Aquinas, and is best known for his Itinerarium mentis in Deum (1259; see entry 3705, and other translations), in which he explains that the direct contemplation of God is the goal of all the arts and sciences, and that the philosopher’s task s to discern imitations of God first in the external world, then in the soul itself, which is the image of God, and thus to prepare the mind for its ultimate mystic union with God. In 1257, at the age of forty, Bonaventure was elected the seventh general minister of the Franciscan Order. His election changed his life and career. He resigned his academic post and dedicated his efforts to the office of general minister to over 30,000 brothers, suffering deep internal divisions regarding the practice of Francis’s ideals, especially regarding poverty. He held the office for the remaining seventeen years of his life, until he was nominated cardinal by Gregory X in preparation for the Second Council of Lyon. Bonaventure died in Lyon two days before the end of the Council. He was buried on the same day at the Franciscan Church at Lyon. The formal announcement of the Council stated: “At the funeral there was much sorrow and tears; for the Lord has given him this grace, that all who saw him were filled with an immense love for him.” He was canonized in 1482, and made the sixth Doctor of the Church in 1588.

See also the Elizabethan translation by Sir Thomas Hoby (entry 3710, and later), and modern translations by George Bull (entry 6713), and Charles S. Singleton (entry 5904). Il libro del cortegiano is one of the masterpieces of the Renaissance. Baldassarre Castiglione (1478-1529) proposes to record a series of conversations held over four evenings in the palace of Urbino in M arch, 1507. The many speakers — fourteen men and four ladies, all of them real persons resident at the court at that time, or present as visitors — discuss the qualities necessary to the perfect courtier and to the perfect court lady, the purpose of the well-made courtier and the qualities desirable in a prince, the ideal form of government, and the nature of love. Castiglione was a busy man, with diplomatic responsibilities, and his sketch of the work from 1508 was not fleshed out until years later, not completed until 1518, and only prepared for publication (by the distinguished Aldine press) in 1528. Ernest Hatch Wilkins points out that there is a deep underlying sadness in the Courtier: “M ost clearly perceptible in certain pages of the dedicatory letter and of the introduction to the fourth Book (pages in which he mourns the loss of several of the interlocutors who had been dear friends of his), his sadness is yet deepest in his consciousness of the discrepancy between his own ideals and the surrounding reality, and in his presentiment that the graciousness of the court life he had loved and championed was destined all too soon to vanish.” (1954: 230) Yet Castiglione’s craft allows him to end his book in a spirit of expectation. The discussions are not over, but postponed, to be continued the evening following by taking up the topic of whether women are as capable as men of the divine love described in the fourth Book by the Venetian humanist Pietro Bembo.

2910 CATHERINE, of Genoa, Saint [Libro de la vita mirabile e dottrina santa de la beata Caterinetta da Genoa (1551). Selections] Treatise on purgatory. By S. Catherine of Genoa; translated from the original Italian, with a preface by Cardinal Manning. New ed. London, Burns, Oates & Washbourne, 1929. v, 41 pp. St. Catherine of Genoa (1447-1510, canonized 1737) was born into the distinguished Fieschi family. She had wished to

enter the convent at the age of thirteen, but the nuns refused her because of her youth. She was married at the age of sixteen, following her family’s wishes, but the marriage, to a somewhat dissolute Genoese nobleman, was a source of great misery to her. At the age of twenty-six she experienced a vision of herself and God, which continued, as an interior state, to her death. In the world, she devoted herself to the care of the sick. Her vision included a sharing of experience with the souls in Purgatory who, she said: “see all things, not in themselves, not by themselves, but as they are in God, on whom they are more intent than on their own sufferings. ... For the least vision they have of God overbalances all woes and all joys that can be conceived. Yet their joy in God does by no means abate their pain. ... This process of purification to which I see the souls in Purgatory subjected, I feel within myself.” Her biographies are based on the Memoirs compiled by her confessor, Cattaneo M arabotto, and her friend and disciple Ettore Vernazza, a notary, and on the writings of Battista Vernazza, a young follower who was Ettore’s daughter. This translation was first published in 1858. OCLC

([6], vii-xxix, [3], 3-359, [3] pp., [20] leaves of plates; [6], vii, [3], 3-386, [2] pp., [20] leaves of plates): ill.; ports. The Brentano’s edition of Symonds’s translation was first published in 1906; this 1929 printing is the eleventh; also issued as 2 v. in 1 in 1936. Symonds’s translation was first published in 1888, and has enjoyed scores of reprints. Cellini (1500-1571) was a Florentine goldsmith, metalworker and sculptor. As an artist, he is perhaps best known for his gold salt-cellar, made for Francis I of France (featured as the cover illustration for George Bull’s translation of the Vita published in Penguin classics, rev. ed., 1998), and for his bronze Perseus, made in Florence for Cosimo I (featured as the cover illustration for the Bondanellas’ translation of the Vita for Oxford world’s classics, 2002). His autobiography, written in a racy vernacular, was not published until the eighteenth century but, as the Oxford Companion to Art notes, it is famous for: “its vivid picture of a Renaissance craftsman proud of his skill and independence, boastful, quarrelsome, superstitious, and devoted to the great tradition embodied in M ichelangelo. It has given him a wider reputation than could have come from his artistic work alone; but to modern eyes he also appears as one of the most important Mannerist sculptors, and his statue Perseus one of the glories of Florentine art.” (1970: 212). For a note on another translation, see entry 3504. Symonds (1840-1893) suffered long from ill-health and spent much of his life in Italy. His History of the Renaissance in Italy (1875-86), though it contains much valuable information, is a series of picturesque sketches rather than a continuous treatise. Symonds excelled as a translator, and his versions from the Greek poets, and of the sonnets of M ichelangelo and Campanella (1878; see entry 4818 and following, and 9916), are especially praised (The Oxford Companion to English Literature, 1946: 763).

New York: The Macmillan Company, 1929. xv, 220 pp.: ill. This edition was first published by M acmillan in 1927. Carlo Lorenzini (1826-1890) was a journalist and writer of stories for children, known throughout the world by his pseudonym, Carlo Collodi, and for his most famous creation, Pinocchio (‘pine nut,’ or ‘eye of pine’), the wood puppet of a boy, come to life, whose many adventures serve to teach him (and his young readers) to distinguish right from wrong. Le avventure di Pinocchio has gone through thousands of editions, in all the languages of the world, and has been adapted for film many times, most notably in the full-length animated cartoon version by Walt Disney (1940). An Italian live action version released in 1972 and originally made for television starred Nino M anfredi as Geppetto, with Gina Lollobrigida in the part of the watchful fata (the Blue Fairy). Another animated version by Giuliano Cenci, also from 1972, is regarded as the best and most faithful adaptation, omitting none of Collodi’s images of great sadness, or of violence and death. Roberto Benigni starred in his own film version of 2002. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Lorenzini’s immortal tale of the mischievous wooden puppet with his memorable nose who finally becomes a real boy, and all its unforgettable secondary characters, found an immediate and nearly universal audience. Its success as a story for the young has hindered the appreciation of its literary merit as a narrative which employs the children’s fable as a means of expressing serious human concerns.” (1979: 296) OCLC

2921 Contemporaries of Marco Polo: consisting of the travel records to the eastern parts of the world of William of Rubruck [1253-1255], the journey of John of Pian de Carpini [1245-1247] & the journal of Friar Odoric [1318-1330]. Edited by Manuel Komroff. London: Jonathan Cape, 1929. (The travellers’ library) [6], vii-xxiii, [5], 3-358 pp.: ill.; geneal. table. The travellers are Giovanni da Pian del Carpine, Archbishop of Antivari (d. 1252), Willem van Ruysbroek, and Odorico da Pordenone (1265?-1331). John was chosen by Pope Innocent IV to lead a mission to the M ongol Khan. He was then over sixty years old, and reportedly very heavy and fat. He and his companions suffered great privations on their journey, often sleeping on the bare ground and having little or nothing to eat. Their route took them through Kiev, passing to the north of the Caspian and Aral seas, and into M ongolia. They reached the imperial summer encampment at Karakorum, where they witnessed the enthronement of the Khan Kuyuk, grandson of Genghis. John’s account of the mission gives us the first description by a European of the M ongol way of life — he mentions the clothing made of skins, felt-covered dwellings, and the M ongols’ fondness for fermented mare’s milk. By 1318, when the Franciscan Odorico da Pordenone (1265?-1331) began his journey into the East, the decline and fragmentation of the M ongol empire had made the northern route through Central Asia less attractive to travellers, so Odoric took a southern route through India and Sri Lanka, the Indonesian islands, through Vietnam to Canton, and eventually to the capital at Beijing. Odoric remained in northern China until about 1328. For his homeward journey he took an overland route through Tibet, the Hindu Kush, and Persia. He reached Italy safely in 1330, and dictated an account of his experiences over the twelve years of his travels while at the monastery of Saint Anthony at Padua. Passages from the account of his travels were spread widely by the borrowings of M andeville (fl. 1356) in his celebrated Travels. First published by Cape, and by Boni & Liveright, in 1928. OCLC,UTL

2929 DA PONTE, Lorenzo [Memorie di Lorenzo Da Ponte (1823-27)] Memoirs of Lorenzo Da Ponte, Mozart’s librettist. Translated, with an introduction and notes, by L. A. Sheppard; with eight plates. London: George Routledge & Sons, 1929. (Broadway diaries, memoirs and letters) [10], 1-387, [1] pp., [8] leaves of plates: ill.; ports. Da Ponte lived from 1749 to 1838. Sheppard notes, in his introduction: “The M emoirs were composed in America in the author’s old age during a period of temporary success which had raised up for him the jealousy of many of his fellowcountrymen, political exiles from their native land, like him dependent on teaching for their livelihood. To some of them the details of Da Ponte’s past life in Europe were well known. His rivals did not scruple to attempt to discredit him by communicating their knowledge to his American pupils and friends. There can be little doubt, therefore, that Da Ponte found himself forced to present his own version of events, omitting awkward facts, slurring over and confusing others, in order to produce a story in which he would appear, in spite of a few venial faults, a man of letters now of unimpeachable conduct, magnanimous and generous towards his enemies, ever a victim of the malice, fraud and jealousy of others. An attempt has been made in the following summary and in the notes to supplement and correct Da Ponte’s statements, and thus to enable the reader to obtain a juster impression of the man than the M emoirs alone would convey” Orlo Williams, himself a translator from Italian as well as a critic and a historian of Parliament, comments, in the Times Literary Supplement: “the fact remains that his insincerities, both proved and unproved but easily inferable, about himself are a grave detriment to the value of his memoirs. It is clear that no evidence of his could be taken on a matter of fact without corroboration, and this greatly diminishes the value of these very interesting sections in which he tells of his sojourn in Vienna as poet of the Italian Theatre under the Emperor Joseph II — the period of his association with M ozart — and of his life in London from 1792 to 1805 as opera-poet and factotum of William Taylor the impresario. ... The impression one gets of the writer is of a passionate muddle-head, with inexhaustible vitality and resilience, an unconquerable love of speculation, very small talent either for poetry or for business, but with a noble passion for Italian letters and a most affectionate heart.” This version of the memoirs is somewhat abridged, compared with the text presented by Livingston (see below).

DA PONTE, Lorenzo [Memorie di Lorenzo Da Ponte (1823-27)] Memoirs of Lorenzo Da Ponte. Translated by Elisabeth Abbott from the Italian; edited and annotated by Arthur Livingston. 1st ed. Philadelphia; London: J. B. Lippincott Company, 1929. [4], 5-512 pp., [32] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., ports. Livingston says of Da Ponte: “To call him, in his European phase, a Casanova [an old friend] is at once to slander and overpraise him. He was not, even in Europe, a charlatan, a swindler and a sharper, taking advantage of the stupidity of others for the excitement of using his wits: he was, rather, at the worst, a usurer and a speculator, handicapped by a large dose of native honesty and a tender heart. ... Nothing was more precious to Da Ponte than the good opinion of men contemporary and unborn. Da Ponte’s libertinage, too, reduces to the fact that he talked in print and out of print of a number of his love affairs. ... Da Ponte was not a Casanova. He was, let us say, a Julien Sorel. He was one of those men of humble origin, and a Jew to boot, who set out, with a deal of unquestioned talent, but with insurmountable defects of temperament, to climb the ladder of the Old Régime, of that Old Régime which was not reconciled, as yet, to climbers, which did like to be amused by clowns and boot-lickers, but thought that tanners [Da Ponte’s father, Geremia Conegliano, was a tanner] had better stay tanners and Jews [Conegliano, a widower, accepted baptism for himself and his family when he made a second marriage to a Christian woman], especially, Jews. Da Ponte’s, therefore, were not so much adventures as misfortunes (of these his Memoirs are the record), and he had, not so much a philosophy of adventure, as a philosophy of career.” The Italian text on which this edition is based is the one established by Gambarin for the 1918 Laterza edition. Livingston has omitted some of Da Ponte’s extended quotations from his other works, especially in verse. Orlo Williams also reviewed this American translation for the Times Literary Supplement in 1930, but concentrated chiefly on Livingston’s introduction and annotations, simply commenting that the edition “is admirably printed and enriched by many most interesting portraits and illustrations.” M USI,OCLC

This novella translated by Lawrence is the story of a very elaborate and cruel practical joke (beffa) said to have been played on his too-frequent guest Doctor M anente by Lorenzo the M agnificent. A. F. Clutton-Brock reviewed Lawrence’s translation for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented: “Few writers could so thoroughly have entered into the spirit of the beffa as he does here, and really laid bare its motivation. ... With [his] acute vision of the psychology inherent in Lasca’s tale, Lawrence was obviously the most suitable writer to make the translation, which is indeed excellent. And his extraordinary gift of story-telling, of carrying one through to the end of any narrative however little there apparently is to it, is exactly what is needed to give the equivalent of much the same gift in Lasca’s original.” NYP,RBSC (2),UTL

2936 GUAZZO, Francesco Maria [Compendium maleficarum (1608, 1626)] Compendium maleficarum: collected in 3 books from many sources. By Brother Francesco Maria Guazzo of the order of S. Ambrose ad Nemus, showing the iniquitous and execrable operations of witches against the human race, and the divine remedies by which they may be frustrated; edited with notes by the Rev. Montague Summers; translated by E. A. Ashwin. London: John Rodker, 1929. [4], v-xxi, [2], 2-206 pp.: ill. Guazzo (fl. 1608) was a member of the M ilanese Ambrosian order. His book on witches and demons drew on the work of many scholars, including Nicholas Remy, and M ichael Psellus. The form of Satanism described by Guazzo was an invention of the fifteenth-century Church, and was first fully described by the Dominicans Heinrich Kremer and James Sprenger in their Malleus Maleficarum (The Hammer of the Witches) about 1486. Summers (1880-1948), known for his writings on witchcraft and the occult, states: “Although the ‘Compendium M aleficarum,’ both from the encyclopaedic learning of the author and the scientific precision of his details, must rank as one of the most important of all Witchcraft M anuals, not only — largely owing to his severe concentration of thought and expression and the many technicalities — is the original Latin more than ordinarily difficult, But Guazzo was ill-served both on 1608 and in 1626 by his printers, for these two (which are the only) editions of the book are marred by a superabundance of most riddling typographical errors. Indeed before the work could be well rendered into English I found that it was necessary to prepare something like definitive recension of the text, a preliminary which, if mechanical enough, has cost me no little time and labour.” For Guazzo, the episodes of witchcraft and demoniacal possession which he so assiduously chronicles are to be taken as warnings, or as examples of the

2943 MACHIAVELLI, Niccolò

[Il principe (1532)] The prince. By Niccolo Machiavelli; reprinted from the translation by Edward Dacres published in 1640; with an introduction by W. E. C. Baynes. London: at the De La More Press, Alexander Moring, 1929. [6], vii-xviii, [2], 1-126, [2] pp., [1] leaf of plates: port. Baynes notes that: “[Dacres’] version has been chosen as the one that keeps most closely to the original, being in fact almost a word-for-word translation of the Italian.” In 1512, the resurgent Medici dismissed Niccolò M achiavelli from the position he had held for fourteen years as Secretary of the Ten in the government of Florence. Banished, reportedly tortured, he retired to the house that he owned in the village of Sant’Andrea, on a hilltop some ten miles south of the city. There he took care of his land and his family, and gained the leisure that made possible long study and mature reflection, and, as Ernest Hatch Wilkins points out, the writing of great works that might not otherwise have been written (1954: 211). There he wrote the Discorsi sopra la prima deca di Tito Livio (not, in fact, a commentary on Livy’s text, but rather a general treatise on the state), and Il principe, designed to persuade the M edici to call him back to the service of the state, and Italy. The M edici ignored him, and M achiavelli chose to live the rest of his life at Sant’Andrea, travelling to Florence only occasionally. The first of his works to appear in English was L’arte della guerra, The art of war, completed in 1520, and translated in 1560 by Peter Whitehorne (see entry 6963). It was followed by Thomas Bedingfield’s translation of the Istorie fiorentine (1595; see entry 6748), and Edward Dacres’ version of the Discourses (1636). Dacres’ translation of Il principe followed in 1640. CRRS,OCLC,UTL

By James Young, M.D., in, Proceedings of the Royal Society of Medicine, 23 (1929-30) Section of the History of Medicine, pp. 1-11: ill. Young notes that he has tried to make his translation literal, and writes: “These two letters ... were written to Borelli [see entry 8908] ... whom the amiable author adored as his guiding star ... . In the first letter he begins with an exordium on the supreme excellence of Borelli and the power of his ‘geometrical eye’ to distinguish truth from error at a glance. It is in the second letter that he gives an account of the discovery of the capillaries, but in the first is displayed the state of knowledge and belief about the lungs which had prevailed until M alpighi’s time, as well as the careful and thorough method usually followed by this great anatomist.” UTL

Essays) [6], vii-xxxvii, 327 pp. The essays in this collection are “To the Italian working class” (translated by Ella Noyes), “The duties of man,” “Interests and principles,” “Faith and the future,” “The patriots and the clergy,” “To the Italians,” and “Thoughts on the French revolution of 1789" (translated by Thomas Okey), and “From the council to God” (translated by L. M artineau). A reprint of the edition first published by Dent in 1907; reprinted also in 1936, 1961, and 1966. Giuseppe M azzini (1805-1872), Italian patriot and revolutionary, was a key figure in the Risorgimento and the creation of the modern Italian state. Trained as a lawyer, he joined the secret revolutionary society the Carbonari. He was arrested, imprisoned, and in 1831 chose exile over internment. M uch of his life after 1837 was spent in London. He expounded his doctrine in books and periodicals, advocating a unified Italian republic as his aim and direct popular action as the means. M azzini took direct part in the revolution of M ilan in 1848, and in the Roman republic of 1849. His ideas of social and political reforms clashed, however, with those of Cavour, the prime minister to the king of Sardinia. Cavour, for his part, was able to secure an alliance with France, leading to a series of wars between 1859 and 1861 that culminated in the formation of a unified kingdom of Italy. Garibaldi, formerly a follower of M azzini, also played a major role. The kingdom arising from this process was very far from the republic preached by M azzini. LC,NYP

2946 The palace of pleasure. William Painter; with an introduction by Hamish Miles; and illustrations by Douglas Percy Bliss. London: Cresset Press, 1929. 4 v.: ill. (some col.). A collection of 101 tales, from Bandello (source or origin for 25 tales), Boccaccio (17 tales), Giraldi, Straparola, and other sources, including classical authors, and Queen M argaret of Navarre. Painter (1540?-1594) was a clerk at the Tower of London, and at one time a schoolmaster. The Palace of Pleasure, his best known work, was first published in 1566-67, with a complete edition in 1575. It was widely read, and supplied plots to the leading Elizabethan poets and playwrights. The Reader’s Encyclopedia notes that the plots for All’s Well That Ends Well, Timon of Athens, Coriolanus, Romeo and Juliet, and Lucrece may all derive from Painter’s collection (1965: 751). The poet and critic Edmund Blunden reviewed this luxury edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and noted: “After serving their day, these tales according to Painter fell into obscurity, and his book was not much consulted for more than a century. When the age of Johnson was busy in the elucidation of Shakespeare the name of Painter once more emerged, and it is probably in connexion with the stories dramatized by Shakespeare that it is chiefly remembered now.” He adds: “We may discern two purposes striving for the mastery in Painter. One is that of moralizing. ... The other purpose is, or was, that of capturing an audience and turning an honest penny. There was always a world for the ‘best seller,’ and the superficial touches — even the general title was one — by which Painter hoped to conquer it, are very frequent.” A limited edition of 500 copies on mould-made paper, and 30 copies on hand-made paper, printed at the Oxford University Press.

Nor is this to be wondered at if one reflects that Petrarch polished and repolished his songs and sonnets for thirty-two years — haunted (despite his profound contempt for the vernacular, which led him to describe them as ‘trivial verses filled with the silly and offensive praise of women’) by a hungry passion for perfection.” A limited edition of 165 copies; printed by James E.

1640, but M iss Grierson has preferred to translate it anew from Dévay’s critical edition published at Budapest in 1904. She is probably right in so doing: the Latin texts of the fifteenth century present many corruptions, which Dévay eliminated by consulting most of the existing manuscripts. It is a story of a length now out of favour, half-way between a nouvelle and a roman. Miss Grierson has made a charming book of it, well printed and bound, on the whole fluently translated, and with just enough introductory account of the life of Pius II to help the reader who is unfamiliar with this figure that typifies the transition from the M iddle Ages to the new learning. In his later years there was a revulsion from the latter to the former; and when in 1464 ‘this aged man with head of snow and trembling limbs’ took the cross in St. Peter’s and set out against the infidel, only to die at Ancona while waiting for the fleet after a terrible journey through a parched Italian summer, he must have regretted this jeu d’esprit of his hot youth as a glorification of adulterous love.” Printed in an edition of 1000 copies.

A second, enlarged edition was published in 1937 by A. and C. Black. De’ Conti’s journeys lasted from 1419 to 1444. He travelled to India via Damascus, Baghdad, Basra, and Hormuz, continuing to Sri Lanka, Java, Sumatra, and south China. He returned via Burma, Cochin, Calicut, and Aden to Jedda, M ecca, and Cairo. To avoid death, he was forced to abjure the faith in M ecca. On his return to Venice in 1444 he sought absolution for his apostasy from Eugene IV. This was granted on condition that he would truthfully relate his travels to the papal secretary, Poggio Bracciolini. The narrative was published in Bracciolini’s De varietate fortunae libri quatuor.

Paolo Segneri (1624-1694) was a prominent Jesuit preacher, missionary and ascetical writer. He studied theology with Pietro Sforza Pallavicino (1607-1667), and developed his great talent as a preacher. His career was chiefly spent in Tuscany, the Papal States, and the chief cities of Italy. The Catholic Encyclopedia (1912) says of him: “After St. Bernardine of Siena and Savonarola, Segneri was Italy’s greatest orator. He reformed the Italian pulpit. M arini and the M arianisti with the petty tricks and simpering graces of the Seicento had degraded the national literature. The pulpit even was infected. Segneri at times stumbles into the defects of the Seicentisti, but his occasional bad taste and abuse of profane erudition cannot blind the impartial critic to his merits. The Quaresimale, the Prediche, the Panegyrici sacri, stamp him as a great orator.” KSM ,OCLC

Fitzpatrick, Ph.D., Dean of Graduate School, Marquette University. Milwaukee, Wisconsin; New York; Chicago: The Bruce Publishing Company, 1929. (The Mar-quette monographs on education) [6], vii, [4], 4-164, [4] pp.

The preface states: “The forms and proportions here set forth are, in the main, those worked out by Giacomo Barozzi da Vignola and first published by him at Rome in 1563.” The first printing was in fact that of 1562. Ware’s adaptation was published in 1904. Vignola (1507-1573) was a painter, architect and designer who began his career in Bologna. He surveyed and studied ancient monuments in Rome, and this experience led eventually to his work Regola delli cinque ordini d’architettura. In 154143 he worked at the Château de Fontainebleau. In 1550, with the aid of a recommendation from Giorgio Vasari, he was named architect to Pope Julius III, for whom he built the church of San Andrea on the Via Flamini, the Villa Giulia, the Palazzo Farnese in Caprarola, and the Farnese Gardens on the Palatine In 1568 Cardinal Alessandro Farnese financed the project of Vignola’s Chiesa del Gesù, which became the model for Jesuit churches throughout the seventeenth century.

Translated from the Spanish with a commentary and a translation of the Directorium in Exercitia by the late W. H. Longridge, of the Society of S. John the Evangelist. New and rev. ed. London: A. R. Mowbray & Co.; Milwaukee, U.S.A.: The Morehouse Publishing Co., 1930. [4], v-xxxvi, [2], 3-351, [1] pp. The translator notes that S. Ignatius himself wrote a brief Directory to his Spiritual Exercises, and that comparison shows that this text must have been known to the compilers of the extended Directory. After the publication of the first edition, in 1591, the Directory was carefully discussed and revised, under the direction of Claudio Acquaviva, General of the Society, and a definitive edition was published in 1599. Acquaviva (15431615), was born in the Abruzzi, and, already a priest, entered the Jesuit novitiate in Genoa in 1567. He was elected General of the Society in 1581. He is usually credited as the author of the Directory. The first edition of this translation was published in 1919, with a second edition in 1922; a fifth edition appeared in 1955. LC,UTL

3004 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [Genealogia deorum gentilium (1350-75). Selections] Boccaccio on poetry: being the preface and the fourteenth and fifteenth books of Boccaccio’s Genealogia deorum gentilium in an English version with introductory essay and commentary by Charles G. Osgood. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1930. [4], v-xlix, [3], 3-213, [1] pp. In his preface, the translator notes: “The translation is based upon Hecker’s text as published in his Boccaccio-Funde, Brunswick, 1902, from an autograph which embodies Boccaccio’s latest known revisions of his text.” Boccaccio worked on his massive and erudite Latin handbook on mythology for much of the last part of his life, and it was popular and influential well into the early modern period. The last two books contain Boccaccio’s views on poetry, and his defence of it. A brief note in the Times Literary Supplement states: “Boccaccio’s views were those of his time, notably in the theory that poetry is an allegory with a hidden meaning, a veil clothing truth, which the reader must use all the powers of his mind to discover. They can be found elsewhere, notably in Petrarch. But they here bear the unmistakable stamp of his exuberant, warm-hearted personality.” Boccaccio himself wrote: “For poetry, which the negligent and the ignorant des-pise, is a certain fervor of exquisite invention, and of the elo-quent expression, in speech or writing, of what you have in-vented. This fervor, which comes from the bosom of God, is granted at birth, I believe, to only a few minds: wherefore, since it is so wondrous a thing, poets have always been very rare.” Ernest Hatch Wilkins notes that Boccaccio himself: “wrote Italian lyrics frequently throughout his life. His lyric vein was not deep, and his Rime have little individual character. Dantesque and Petrarchan motifs are imitated freely, and much use is made of classical names. The best of the Rime reflect prettily the Neapolitan social scene.” (1954: 101) Opposite title page: London, Humphrey M ilford, Oxford University Press. M ichigan,USL,UTL

3050 DE SANCTIS, Francesco [Storia della letteratura italiana (1870-71)] History of Italian literature. By Francesco De Sanctis; translated by Joan Redfern. Volume one [two]. London: Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, [1930]. 2 v. ([4], v-viii, [4], 3-467, [1]; [6], 469-972 pp.) Francesco De Sanctis (1817-1883) is considered the most important scholar of Italian language and literature of the nineteenth century, and Storia della letteratura italiana is, together with the Saggi critici (1866, see entry 5712), his most important work. As a teacher, he spent much of his career at Naples. He had held office in the revolutionary government of 1848, and was afterwards imprisoned for a time, and exiled to M alta. He was a supporter of Cavour, and served several times as minister of public instruction at Naples after the establishment of the Italian state. His faithful disciples, most prominent among them Benedetto Croce (1866-1952), carried

his ideas forward into the 20 th century. Concerning the Storia, Ernest Hatch Wilkins wrote: “It is indeed a history of Italian literature, but it is, even more than that, a history of the early strength, the decline and fall, and the resurgence of the Italian spirit as reflected in Italian literature. De Sanctis’ dominant purpose is to render Italy, through an understanding of her moral past, the better able and the more resolute to build her moral future. ... The Storia is not a book for the novice: it is philosophic rather than informative; it is not always well grounded in fact; its verdicts, explicit or implicit, are not always just; its generalizations are not all acceptable. But for serious students of Italian literature the Storia will remain a treasury of the interpretations and the judgments of one of the finest of modern critical minds.” (1954: 451) OCLC,UTL

3056 FRACASTORO, Girolamo [De contagione et contagiosis morbis et curatione (1546). English and Latin] Hieronymi Fracastorii De contagione et contagiosis morbis et eorum curatione, libri III. Transla-tion and notes by Wilmer Cave Wright, Ph.D., Professor of Greek in Bryn Mawr College. New York; London: G. P. Putnam’s Sons; The Knickerbocker Press, 1930. (History of medicine series; no. 2) [4], iii-lvii, A-F, 2-356, [2] pp., [2] leaves of plates: ports. This is the first English translation of the work first published in Venice in 1546. Spine title: Contagion; dust jacket title: Contagion, Contagious Diseases and their Treatment. Cave Wright notes: “This prose treatise on the nature of contagion supersedes Fracastoro’s poem Syphilis by presenting a more thorough discussion of the causes and treatment of the disease, but also deals in the same way with typhus, tuberculosis, the plague, leprosy, rabies, elephantiasis, and other contagious diseases prevalent in the sixteenth century. Fracastoro was the first to distinguish sharply, on the basis of his own clinical observations, the various means, direct and indirect, of transmission of communicable diseases, and the terms that he invented are still in use.”

Bibliography 1930 In his review for the Times Literary Supplement, Dr. C. J. Singer writes: “there can be no doubt that the ‘seminaria contagionum’ [‘seeds of disease’] of Fracastoro had a seminal influence on the conception of disease in after ages. It would not be difficult to trace the idea right on through the centuries to its development in the hands of Pasteur and Koch and its fruition in the modern sciences of bacteriology, epidemiology and immunology. Fracastoro gives in this book the earliest recognizable picture of typhus fever ... . His account of syphilis in this work is also remarkable, as is also his record of several other diseases, phthisis, rabies and plague among them. Thus the ‘De Contagione’ of Fracastoro must always remain a medical classic, and Professor Wright has rendered a great service by putting it into so convenient, intelligible and readable form. The presentation of the book is entirely admirable. The Latin text is faced by Professor Wright’s accurate and fluent translation, which is illuminated by her long series of apposite notes.” Wilmer Cave Wright (1865-1951) was Professor of Greek at Bryn M awr College from 1897 until her retirement in 1933.

[United States: s.n.], 1930. 95 pp. Saint Alfonso M aria de’ Liguori (1696-1787) was one of the most important Catholic moral philosophers of the 18 th century, and was the founder of the Redemptorists, a congregation primarily dedicated to parish work and to foreign missions. In his early adulthood he was a successful lawyer, and was only ordained priest in at the age of 30 in 1726. He served the Church in the Naples area, where in 1729 he met and formed an association with M atteo Ripa, China mission-ary and founder of the Collegio de’ cinesi in Naples (see entry 7965). Liguori became a prolific and respected writer only relatively late in life, after about the age of 50. He was canonized in 1839, and was named a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius IX in 1871. In 1950 Pope Pius XII named him patron saint of moralists and confessors.

3073 PETRARCA, Francesco [De vita solitaria (1347). Adaptation] The letters and epigrams of Sir John Harington, together with The prayse of private life. Edited with an introduction by Norman Egbert McClure, Professor of English, Ursinus College; foreword by Felix E. Schelling. Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press; London: Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, 1930. [5], vi-xv, [4], 4-438 pp., [3] leaves of plates: ill.; facsim., ports. The Prayse of Private Life, by Sir John Harington of Kelston (1561?-1612), epigrammatist and translator of Ariosto, is an adapted translation of Petrarch’s La vita solitaria. In his foreword, Schelling writes: “It is less a trans-lation than a treatise inspired by Petrarch’s La vita solitaria, of which there was apparently no Elizabethan translation. In his text Harington follows Petrarch’s general plan and para-phrases the original in certain passages, discanting with much freedom elsewhere. This tract is printed from a transcript of the manuscript presented by Samuel Daniel, the well-known court poet, to the countess of Cumberland [some time after 1605]. It is nowhere so much as mentioned by historians of literature.” M cClure notes: “Lacking the gaiety and sprightly wit that distinguish much of his earlier writing, The Prayse of Private Life reveals the author as an old man, grave and reasonable, who found in Petrarch’s treatise much that his busy and disappointing life had convinced him was memor-able.” M cClure also notes that a few of the epigrams come from Renaissance Latin epigrammatists.

3075 PIGNATA, Giuseppe [Les aventures de Joseph Pignata (1725)] The adventures of Giuseppe Pignata, who escaped from the prisons of the Inquisition of Rome. Translated from the French by Arthur Symons. London; Toronto: Jonathan Cape, 1930. [10], 11-252, [4] pp. The first Italian edition was not published until 1887, by S. Lapi, with the title Avventure di Giuseppe Pignata, fuggito dalle carceri dell’Inquisizione di Roma. The imprint of the original French edition (Cologne: chez Pierre M arteau) is false. Pignata was born in 1661. His brother, Pietro Romolo, mentioned in the narrative, whose surname is usually spelled Pignatta, was a musician and composer in Graz and Venice. Giuseppe Pignata’s escape, Symons thinks, took place in November, 1693. Pignata’s adventures, despite the best efforts of Symons in his 40-page introduction, have proved difficult to authenticate, and may belong to that group of stories in which a little truth is fashioned into a picaresque fiction.

3088 VEGIO, Maffeo [Libri XII Aeneidos supplementum (1428). English, Latin, and Scottish] Maphaeus Vegius and his thirteenth book of the Aeneid: a chapter on Virgil in the Renaissance.

[6], v-xi, [1], 1-183, [1] pp., [8] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims. Brinton writes: “A delightful and almost fantastic chapter in the romance of Virgil’s influence concerns Maphaeus Vegius’ ‘Thirteenth Book of the Aeneid,’ a canto of six hundred and thirty lines, written at Pavia in 1428 by a lad of twenty-one. This audacious composition early had the strange fortune, as the piquant Virgilian critic, Dr. Henry, aptly puts it, to become ‘established as an eke or co-tenant under the same roof with the Aeneid,’ where it remained an almost constant resident for a century and a half after the invention of printing. Later it became, as it were, a visitor, and, in the eighteenth century, only an occasional guest in Virgil’s house. Its final appearance at the close of the Aeneid occurred in Lemaire’s Bibliotheca classica, Paris, 1820.” Vegio (1407-1458) was a friend and contemporary of Lorenzo Valla. He served as abbreviator and datary (an officer of the Papal Court at Rome, charged with the duty of registering and dating all bulls and other documents issued by the Pope) to Eugenius IV, and went to Rome in 1443, with the final return of the papacy, and there spent the remaining fif-teen years of his life. He is known for his Latin verse and his pedagogic essay De educatione liberorum et eorum claris moribus. His supplement was first published in an edition of Virgil printed in Venice in 1471. The English translation by Thomas Twyne (1543-1613) reprinted here first appeared in 1583; the Scottish translation by Gavin Douglas, Bishop of Dunkel (1474?-1522), was completed in 1513, and first published in London in 1553.

33 “Zanchi [1516-1590] joined the local monastery of the Augustinian Order of Regular Canons. In 1541, Zanchi transferred to the priory of San Frediano in Lucca where Peter M artyr Vermigli — one of the most well-known and influential of the Italian reformers — was the prior. Under M artyr’s guidance, Zanchi studied the works of some of the leading figures in the Reformation, including M artin Bucer, Philip M elancht[h]on, Heinrich Bullinger, and John Calvin, and adopted many of their theological and political views. The turbulent political and religious climate of sixteenth century Europe eventually caused Zanchi to flee Lucca in 1551 and spend the rest of his life relocating to several different cities in Western Europe.” (Religion & Liberty, v. 13, no. 4, 2003) From 1568 to 1576 he was professor of theology at the University of Heidelberg. He wrote: “whatever laws are contrary to God’s honor or contrary to the welfare of human beings are sinful and tyrannical and should not be called ‘laws.’” Toplady’s translation was first published in 1769.

3101 ARETINO, Pietro [Works. Selections] The works of Aretino. Translated into English from the original Italian, with a critical and biographical essay. New York: privately printed for Rarity Press, 1931. 280 pp.: ill. Pietro Aretino (1492-1556) was known throughout Europe in his lifetime for the volume and audacity of his writings. H styled himself the “divine scourge” of princes and aimed his satire at the powerful men of his day, and at social customs and literary pretensions. He was honoured (and persecuted) by princes and popes, and was a friend of artists, like Titian, who painted his portrait. He was a poet (known for his lascivious sonnets), and a playwright (see entries 7830, 9153, 9771, 0305, and others), but also wrote a series of religious prose works. He wrote very many letters, of which some 3000 have survived. But the literary form which proved most congenial to Aretino’s personality was the dialogue. Dennis Dutschke writes, in the Dictionary of Italian Literature (1979: 21), that: “the Ragionamenti [1534-36] ... are a notoriously realistic and ribald parody of the Platonic dialogue. Blending elements of comedy and the novella, Aretino portrays an old prostitute, Nanna, as she instructs her daughter Pippa on the lives of nuns, wives, and whores, encouraging her to adopt the last-named profession.” A reprint of the first volume of Samuel Putnam’s edition of Aretino’s Works, first published by Covici in 1926.

New York [etc.]: Benziger Brothers, printers to the Holy Apostolic See, 1931.

His two brothers also became Capuchins, and Paolo is remem-bered for his services during the plague which devastated Northern Italy in 1576 and 1577. M attia served the order as a missionary preacher and worker. Father Cuthbert writes: “Throughout his long life M attia was a voluminous writer. His work include commentaries on scripture, expositions of the doctrine of Saint Bonaventura, devotional treatises, sermons, biographies of the saints ... and finally, in his old age, his Historia Capuccina.” The sermons translated here were preached in the Duomo of M ilan during the Lent of 1597.

3104 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [Elegia di madonna Fiammetta (1342)] Amorous Fiammetta. Giovanni Boccaccio; re-vised from the only English translation with an introduction by Edward Hutton. London: privately printed for Rarity Books, 1931. 356 pp., [3] leaves of plates: ill. The Elegia di madonna Fiammetta is the first modern novel in epistolary form which concentrates upon the inner events of the character’s psyche (Aldo D. Scaglione, in the Dictionary of Italian Literature, 1979: 60). Hutton asks: “What then was Boccaccio’s object in writing this romance? It has been said over and over again that his object was to re-venge himself upon M aria d’Aquino for betraying him, and that in representing her as the victim and himself as the runaway lover he achieved a very obvious vengeance. ... Have those who would seriously maintain such a thesis ever read this extraordinary book? No one who has read it can have felt that that vengeance was very successful, or even at all. For the effect of the book is quite opposite. Fiammetta is not belittled, nor made ridiculous, nor exposed. She is exalted: she is exalted over all other women who have ever tragically loved ... . Was this then Boccaccio’s vengeance — to exalt the woman whom he would humble, to exalt her over all other women, and to win for her our pity and forgiveness, our love, even our esteem? No. When Boccaccio wishes to revenge himself he knows how to do it. Let the Corbaccio bear witness for him. He may however in writing the Fiammetta have wished to establish — as in part was the case — that it was he who left Fiammetta and not she him. It was in fact he who left Naples; but she had, it seems, given him his congé before then.” The translation is by Bartholomew Yong (1560-1621?). It was published in London in 1587, and of that black letter edition only four copies are known to exist. This revised version was first published by the Navarre Society in 1926. Concerning Yong, Hutton notes that: “he is, on the whole, a careful and faithful translator, with a genuine sense of the beauty of the English language. His translation of the Fiammetta is a work of

The second volume includes those sections of Binyon’s translations from Dante which were then ready for publication (Inferno I-X, XXVI, XXXIII; Purgatorio I-II, XXVIII-XXX; Paradiso XXX, XXXIII). When Binyon’s translation of the Divina commedia was reissued in three volumes by M acmillan in 1953, ten years after his death, J. M . Cohen, in the Times Literary Supplement, wrote: “In 1921, when he was past 50 and, as a poet, but for his single, much-quoted war poem, in obscurity, Laurence Binyon began, tentatively at first, his translation of the Divina Commedia into terza rima. ‘A melodious smoothness,’ he wrote in his introduction, ‘is not characteristic of Dante’s verse, so much as an extraordinary fullness and volume,’ and in his anxiety to avoid the deceptive smoothness and regularity which informs such a work as M iss Dorothy Sayers’s subsequent version of the Inferno, Binyon seems to aim deliberately at roughness of texture, a throwing backwards or forwards of the expected stress, and at an occasional drop from rhyme into half-rhyme. His choice of language is at times somewhat archaic. Yet it succeeds in rendering in a uniform idiom the very various levels of argument, from dramatic to theological, which the poem contains.” Binyon’s Inferno was first published separately by M acmillan, with the Italian text, in 1933; the Purgatorio followed in 1938, and the Paradiso in 1943.

The Jesuit Ippolito Desideri (1684-1733) was ordained in 1712, after twelve years of training and study, and in the same year left Rome for India as an Apostolic M issionary. He returned to Rome in 1727. His report on his travels was titled, in one of the three extant manuscripts, Notizie historiche del Regno del Thibet e Memorie de’ Viaggi e Missioni ivi fatti dal Padre Ippolito Desideri della Compagnia di Giesú, dal medesimo scritte e dedicate, 1712-1733 (Historical Sketch of Thibet, and An Account of the Mission and Travels in That Country by Father Ippolito Desideri of the Society of Jesus, written by himself, 1712-1733). In his preface, De Filippi writes: “Desideri’s Relazione, composed entirely from per-sonal observations made on the spot, and from investigations of the Tibetan texts constantly controlled by the Doctors of the Law, has a scientific value of the first importance which has not been affected by the studies which have since appeared. M ost of these studies are partial; and not one of them has led to conclusions contradictory to Desideri’s. M oreover, the simple and frank style of his narrative, the absolute honesty of his exposition of the Buddhist doctrine, and his attitude to the people and the country in general, make his book and ex-tremely attractive one. The figure that emerges is that of a mild and simple man, full of human understanding and sympathy, and honest and truthful to the point of candour.” Desideri spent five years in Tibet, and left in 1721, when he learned that the mission-territory of Tibet had been declared the province of the Capuchins, and that he was recalled. A version of Desideri’s narrative was published in 1904, edited by Carlo Puini, as Il Tibet (Geografia, Storia, Religione, Costumi) secondo la relazione del viaggio del P. Ippolito Desideri (1715-21). The translation of the narrative as edited by De Filippi was prepared by Janet Ross, with the critical apparatus, preface and notes translated by Joan Redfern. A revised edition was published by Routledge in 1937, and a smaller-format reprint of this 1931 edition was published in Taipei in 1971. LC,OCLC

3128 FRACASTORO, Girolamo

[Syphilis (1530)] Hieronymus Fracastor’s Syphilis. A translation in prose from the original Latin of Fracastor’s immortal poem; with a history of Fracastor’s life by Mario Truffi, M.D., Professor and Director of the Dermo-Syphilopathic Clinic, Royal University of Padua, Italy. 2nd ed., rev. and enl., ill. Saint Louis, Missouri: The Urologic & Cutaneous Press, 1931. [2], i-xi, [1], 1-104, [4] pp., [19] leaves of plates: ill,; facsims., ports. This translation was first published in 1911. Fracastoro (1478-1553) was perhaps the greatest physician of his generation, and an authority on epidemic diseases. He characterized three types of contagion: by direct contact, by transmission from contaminated objects, and at a distance through transport by air. His disquisition on the mythical origin, symptoms and progression, and treatment of the disease that was then sweeping through western Europe — which the Spaniards called the French disease, the French the Neapolitan or Italian disease, and the Germans the Spanish disease — came in the form of the poem Syphilis (1530), and Fracastoro’s title soon came to be applied to the disease itself, which he was later able to show to be sexually transmitted. Fracastoro’s suggested treatments were largely ineffective, and it was not until the mid 20th century, with the discovery and development of the antibiotic penicillin, that effective control of the disease, at least in its early stages, became possible. An English translation of Syphilis, by Nahum Tate, was first published in 1686. Ehrman,LC

Waters’ translation of the Novellino published ca. 1895 in London. M asuccio (ca. 1410-1475) was born into a noble family of Salerno (hence his pen-name). The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “M asuccio’s single literary work is the extremely notable collection of novelle entitled the Novellino. Continuing the narrative tradition of Boccaccio and others, M asuccio’s collection is disposed according to five themes, each of which contains ten stories: the misdeeds of churchmen; tricks and injuries caused by jealousy; the ‘defective’ female sex; tearful matters; and stories of the magnanimity of princes. ... Unlike Boccaccio or many other writers in this genre, there are no storytellers; all the stories are narrated by M asuccio. The language is a southern Italian dialect

The Dictionary of Italian Literature comments: “Like the more famous collection by Boccaccio, this one has a framework and the novelle are narrated by a larger group of storytellers — thirteen ladies and numerous gentlemen. ... Each of the seventy-five tales told ends upon a riddle with multiple meanings, one usually obscene which is, of course, not the one the storyteller claims to have intended. ... Some of the tales with priests as protagonists were considered offensive to CounterReformation sensibilities, and the work was placed on the Index in 1624.” (1979: 493) Kent State,OCLC

3201 BASILE, Giambattista [Il pentamerone (1674)] The Pentamerone of Giambattista Basile. Translated from the Italian of Benedetto Croce; now edited with a preface, notes and appendixes by N. M. Penzer, M.A.; with a portrait frontispiece, twelve reproductions of title-pages and other illustrations, together with a contemporary plan of the city of Naples. In two volumes. Vol. I [II]. London: John Lane the Bodley Head; New York: E. P. Dutton and Company, 1932. 2 v. ([4], v-lxxv, [3], 3-309, [3] pp., [2] leaves of plates; [4], v-vi, [2], 1-333, [3] pp., [11] leaves of plates): ill.; facsims., plan, port. Croce’s influential translation, from the original Neapolitan, of the Pentamerone was published in 1925. This English edition includes the essay “The folk-tale since Basile,” by Stith Thompson. Cecil Headlam reviewed Penzer’s translation for the Times Literary Supplement. He notes that: “[Basile] had long been dabbling in the treatment of the Neapolitan dialect as a form of literature. He chose it as the most suitable vehicle of expression for the folk-tales he had been collecting; and he chose his fairy-stories as the most suitable material upon which to experiment in literature with the speech of the people. Basile died suddenly in an epidemic in 1632. Two years later was published the first of a series of fifty novelle found among his manuscripts. The rest were published at intervals, at first under the title of Lo Cunto de li Cunti, and afterwards of Il Pentamerone. The book at once became popular. Its subsequent history is traced in an elaborate bibliography of one hundred pages, compiled by M r. Penzer with the assistance of hundreds of librarians and book-lovers all over the world, and illustrated by title-pages of rare editions. It is to this collection of stories that Basile now owes his fame. ... The scheme of the tales is the traditional one stereotyped by Boccaccio, a ‘frame’ story introducing a series. Though the stories themselves may have come from far lands and distant ages, they are all given a Neapolitan setting and brought into touch with the daily round of life in Naples. And in them are all the lure and fascination of magic. The Pentameron entered upon a new lease of life when the brothers Grimm published their European fairy tales. From its comparative obscurity as a story-book in a difficult dialect, it then emerged as the richest of the early collections available for the study of comparative folk-lore.” Concerning the translation, Headlam comments: “If M r. Penzer’s translation can claim no stylistic effects, it commands admiration for its faithful rendering of the astonishing vocabulary of the original.” In his review for Folklore (1931: 496-500), M oses Gaster wrote: “It was a deliberate action on [Basile’s] part to write it in a special dialect; but where did the matter come from? There are various characteristics in these tales. One outstanding is that the devil plays no part. There are only kind and helpful fairies and ogres of a wild and cannibal type. ... I am inclined to believe that much of it is of oriental

origin. One must bear in mind that Sicily has been under the domination of the Arabs for many hundreds of years. ... The oriental influence is due the absence of the devil and the introduction just of such genii as we find in Basile. There is no doubt that the vast amount of oriental fairy tales had also found a home among the people of Sicily and Naples.” CRRS,OCLC,UTL

For a further note on Carletti, see entry 6412. Carletti’s sojourn in Japan lasted from June 1597 to M arch 1598, but his own notes were lost when he was captured by the Dutch near St. Helena during his return voyage in 1602, and taken to Holland. Sington writes: “The text of the seventh Discourse most emphatically has not the unmistakable ring of first-hand experience. ... The Discourse on Japan does not belong to the category of ‘travellers’ tales’, Carletti is no M andeville reincarnate in the sunny South. Quite otherwise! Doubly cheated, first, by the loss of his ‘copious notes’ and again by the failure of his memory our author has recourse to authentic sources such as the Annual Letters of the Jesuit fathers. Froez, in particular, seems to have been an invaluable storehouse of information. ... If, then, the essential characteristic of this Discourse is that of a compilation rather than of a narration of first-hand experience, this is not to deny its considerable interest. The mere fact of its being written by a layman is remarkable for a period of which our chief foreign sources are the writings of missionaries. Nor is Carletti’s account entirely lacking in touches suggestive of firsthand experience.” OCLC,UTL

The first volume contains the text, edited by D. V. Thompson, Jr.; the second volume contains Thompson’s translation, The Craftsman’s Handbook. Thompson writes:“The Libro dell’arte of Cennino Cennini is a guide to the materials and practice of painting and allied operations, written by a painter ‘for the use and good and profit of any who care to enter this profession.’ The practice which it records is that of the school of Giotto in the varied branches of activity of painters of that time, especially in fresco-painting, tempera-painting a fondo d’oro, manuscript illumination, and various sorts of drawing. ... Cennino renders good service to the modern student, namely, in admitting him to some understanding of the intrinsic nature of a wide range of works of art. ... The knowledge of the painters’ aims and means which it provides stimulates the eye to the recognition of unsuspected interests and beauties in paintings in these media. Even those who do not care to study the text precisely for any of the reasons which I have suggested, may enjoy something of the humanity of the book and its good-hearted author.” LC,OCLC,UTL

The publisher notes: “The translators have attempted to satisfy themselves first as to the author’s exact meaning, and then to express it (1) precisely, (2) with lucidity, (3) worthily, (4) with as close adherence to the vocabulary and syntax of the original as English idiom allows. They have consciously adopted a happy turn of expression in one passage from M r. [Charles Eliot] Norton’s translation of the Paradiso [1892], and in two cases borrowed words from M r. [Arthur John] Butler [1885]. The many other coincidences with these (and doubtless other) translations arose, to the best of their belief, independently.” The Modern Library edition was later completely reset (while retaining the 1932 copyright date).

This biography incorporates very many translations from letters, documents, and books. In her preface, Cartwright writes: “[Isabella’s] close relationship with the reigning families of M ilan and Naples, of Ferrara and Urbino, and constant intercourse with Popes and monarchs made her position one of peculiar importance, while the wisdom and sagacity which she showed in political affairs commanded universal respect. ... By her skilful diplomacy this able woman saved the little state of M antua from falling a prey to the ambitious designs of Caesar Borgia, or the vengeance of two powerful French monarchs, Louis XII, and Francis I. ... But it is above all as a patron of art and letters that Isabella d’Este will be remembered. In this respect she deserves a place with the most enlightened princes of the Renaissance, with Lorenzo dei M edici and Lodovico Sforza. A true child of her age, Isabella combined a passionate love of beauty and the most profound reverence for antiquity with the finest critical taste. ... The vast number of letters which passed between her and the chief artists of the day have hitherto laid buried in foreign archives or hidden in pamphlets and periodicals, many of them already out of print. All these have been carefully collected, and are for the first time brought together here.” First published in 1903; 2 nd ed., 1903; cheaper ed., 1915. CRRS,LC,UTL (1903)

E. 27 by Daniel Varney Thompson, Jr., Assistant Professor of the History of Art in Yale University, and George Heard Hamilton. New Haven: Yale University Press; London: Humphrey Milford, Oxford University Press, 1933. [9], viii-xiv, [1], 2-67, [1] pp., [1] leaf of plates: facsim. In his preface, Thompson notes: “Beyond the facts that he was obviously an illuminator by profession and that his orthography and diction suggest that he was Italian, the author’s anonymity is complete. All that can safely be said of the De arte illuminandi at present is that it appears to be an Italian production, written near the end of the fourteenth century by an illuminator, and preserved in a single copy. It is thus approximately contemporary with the Libro dell’Arte of Cenino d’Andrea Cennini [see entry 3215], a work with which it shows close technical affiliations. Cennino’s Libro dell’Arte gives only cursory attention to the details of illuminators’ practice, while the De arte illuminandi excludes rigidly matters properly relating to other sorts of painting. Taken together these two manuals give us a very adequate survey of painting methods of all sorts, save possibly mosaic, in Italy at the close of the fourteenth century.” GLX,LC,OCLC

[5], vi-viii, 1-226, [2] pp., [1] folded leaf of plates: map. Angelo Celli (1857-1914) published his study La malaria secondo le nuove ricerche in 1899, and it was translated and published as Malaria according to the New Researches by Longmans, Green in 1901. The posthumous edition here edited and enlarged by Anna Celli-Fraentzel was published in the series Memorie della R. Accademia nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di scienze fisiche, matematiche e naturali, ser. 6, v. 1, fasc. 3 in 1925, with a map, and illustrations by Dott. P. Ambrogetti. In his preface, Castellani writes: “The book reveals what a terrible scourge malaria has been over large tracts of land in Italy for many centuries and how, until recently, all attempts to combat it have been practically a failure. During the last few years, however, thanks to the work of the new Government in Italy, in many parts of the country, such as in the Pontine region the marshes have been conquered and malaria vanquished, and where fever, starvation, and poverty reigned, well-tilled fertile fields are to be found populated by a healthy and happy people.” GLX,LC,OCLC

[8], vii-ix, [2], 2-401, [3] pp. Italian and English on facing pages. Laurence Binyon (1869-1943) spent the greater part of his working life at the British Museum, and published numerous scholarly books on art, including a four-volume catalogue of the M useum’s English drawings. He wrote poetry as a student, and continued to write throughout his career. During the First World War, too old to enlist, he went to the Western Front to work with the Red Cross as a medical orderly with an ambulance unit. His poem “For the fallen” is still read at Remembrance Day services in the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, and

Canada. Binyon’s friends in the literary world included Ezra Pound, who helped him with his Dante translation, Arthur Waley, and Robert Bridges. Binyon began his terza rima translation in 1921, already in his fifties. His Inferno was well received, his Purgatorio was published in 1938 (see entry 3808), and the Paradiso in 1943, the year of his death (see entry 4306). Ten years later J. M . Cohen wrote on the Edwardian poets for the Times Literary Supplement. He noted that in the introduction to his Inferno, Binyon wrote that “A melodious smoothness is not characteristic of Dante’s verse, so much as an extraordinary fullness and volume.” Binyon, Cohen writes: “seems to aim deliberately at roughness of texture, a throwing backwards or forwards of the expected stress, and at an occasional drop from rhyme into half-rhyme. His choice of language is at times somewhat archaic. Yet it succeeds in rendering in a uniform idiom the very various levels of argument, from dramatic to theological, which the poem contains.” Reprinted in 1952. LC,OCLC,UTL

London: Oxford University Press, Humphrey Milford, 1933. [6], vii-xxx, [2], 1-287, [1] pp.: ill.; tables. This translation was first published in 1893. In the editorial note to this 1933 edition, E. A. Parker wrote: “It was always the translator’s intention to revise it and to add translations of the other two Cantiche, but persistent ill health, combined in later years with blindness, prevented him from carrying out his intention.” He did, however, manage some revisions to his Inferno. In his original preface, M usgrave (1855-1932) wrote: “Although the writer of this translation intends his work primarily for the many, he is not without hope that it may secure the sanction of scholars. His aim has been to convey a vivid impression: to make his version simple and readable; to maintain a sensitive fidelity to the spirit of the original, while avoiding all false literality or adherence to the mere letter.” He notes: “since we have no characteristic English measure wherein the lines run in threes, there should be no antecedent prejudice against an attempt to apply the most characteristic of all our metres — the nine-line Spenserian Stanza — to the rendering of a poem whose verses run in triplets, and, in a surprising number of instances, in triplets of triplets.” The illustrations by John Dickson Batten (1860-1932) were published for the first time in this new edition.

3321 TOLOMEI, Claudio [Correspondence. Selections] A posie of gilloflowers, each differing from other in colour and odour, yet all sweet. By Humfrey Gifford, Gent. [London]: at the Hawthornden Press, 1933. [6], v-xxx, 1-168 pp., [2] leaves of plates: facsims. Gifford’s collection of poetry (his own) and prose (chiefly translated) was published in London in 1580. Little is known about him. F. J. Harvey Darton, in his introduction to this edition, identifies him with a headmaster of Barnstaple Grammar School named Humfrey Jeffert, who died in 1589. Claudio Tolomei (1492-1555), Sienese poet, was in the

Bibliography 1933 service of cardinal Ippolito de’ M edici, then of Pier Luigi Farnese. After the assassination of Farnese, he was named bishop of Curzola, and in 1552 was sent as an ambassador to France. He is best known for his letters, and for Il Cesano (1555), a dialogue on the Tuscan language. The letters translated by Gifford are “An epistle written in Italian, by M aster Claudius Ptholomoeus, for the comforting of his very loving and learned friend, M aster Dionysius [Dionigi Atanagi], being fallen into poverty,” and “An answer of M aster Claudius Ptholomoeus to a letter sent him by a friend, that marvelled wherefore he, having such learning, remained in so mean and base an estate of calling.” The sources of the brief ‘Italian’ stories are not identified; the Facetiae of Poggio Bracciolini and Gerolamo M orlino’s Latin stories have been suggested as possible sources. This edition of 500 copies, with modernized punctuation and spelling, is edited and introduced by F. J. Harvey Darton. The facsimiles are of two versions of the original title page. The Oxford English Dictionary defines ‘gillyflower’ as a clove, or, more appositely, as applying to native plants having flowers scented like a clove, such as the pink, wallflower, and white stock.

3322 TOSTI, Luigi, Conte [Storia di Bonifazio VIII, e de’ suoi tempi (1846)] Pope Boniface VIII and his times. By Louis Tosti; translated by Eugene J. Donnelly. New York: S. R. Leland, 1933. [2],3-546 pp., [8] leaves of plates: ill. Boniface VIII (Benedetto Caetani, 1235-1303) was elected successor to the hermit pope Saint Celestine V, who was made pope, and gave up the papacy, realizing that he was being used as a puppet, in 1294. Boniface tried to assert papal authority, but was not successful. Philip IV sent a deputation to depose him in 1302. After Sciarra Colonna, one of the deputies, struck Boniface, the enraged people of Anagni drove the French out. Boniface died soon afterward. Philip forced Pope Clement V to repudiate the acts of Boniface. This translation was first published by Leland in 1910, and by Christian Press Association in 1911.. KSM ,LC,UTL

53 3323 VECCHI, Orazio [L’Amfiparnaso (1594). Libretto] L’Amfiparnaso: comedia harmonica in three acts and fourteen scenes. By Orazio Vecchi; explanatory notes by Hugo Leichtentritt. [S.l.: s.n., 1933?]. vii, 15 pp. The libretto is by Vecchi, with the assistance, it is conjectured, of Giulio Cesare Croce. The work, a madrigal cycle for five voices, with a plot derived from the commedia dell’arte, is seen as a precursor of opera. This publication is probably related to the première of L’Amfiparnaso in the United States, a concert performance at the French Institute in New York, in M arch, 1933. LC

One other play in the collection, M edwall’s Fulgens and Lucrece, also derives from an Italian source. Boas writes: “The plot is derived from a Latin treatise, De vera nobilitate, by an Italian humanist, Bonaccorso, which had been translated into French by Jean M ielot, and afterwards into English by a Yorkist nobleman, John Tiptoft, Earl of Worcester. His version was printed by William Caxton, and it was this that M edwall used.” [see under Buonaccorso in entry 3803].

35. 2 v. ([15], x-xv, [2], 2-318, [8]; [11], viii-xvi, 1268, [6] pp.): ill. The colophon of vol. 1 notes: “The text of this first volume ... has been prepared from that of the first English translation, printed by Isaac Jaggard for M athew Lownes in 1625, and compared with the first edition of 1620. The wood engravings have been recut by E. J. Beedham and E. Joyce Francis from those in the edition printed by the brothers Gregorii in Venice in 1492.” Each volume has, as an added title page, a reproduction of the appropriate title page from the 1625 edition (which incorporated, for the second part, sheets remaining from the 1620 edition). The translation itself is anonymous. Writing for the Times Literary Supplement, A. F. Clutton-Brock comments: “The cumbrous movement of its prose is scarcely the ideal equivalent for the modern reader to that of Boccaccio, but it has many picturesque qualities and is certainly easier to read than much other prose of the time.” Clutton-Brock praises the skilful arrangement of the woodcuts with the printed pages, complements the type, paper, and binding, and writes: “It is an edition to put a reader in the right frame of mind to appreciate the civilization and refinement of the ‘Decameron.’ The shadow of a great plague might be allowed to excuse an uneasy licence or an equally violent asceticism; it is only a rare kind of mind at the present time, and still more in the M iddle Ages, that would be moved by it towards the balanced enjoyment of life which is on the whole, and apart from his rather casual praise of piety or his more genuine admiration for the rhetorical generosity of knightly conduct, what Boccaccio recommends.” A limited edition of 325 copies, together with three copies printed on vellum; Fisher Library copy no. 79.

M acdonell wrote: “It is a great misfortune to [Cellini’s] fame in England, and an irremediable loss to English letters, that the M S. of his life was hid away in an Italian library in our great age of translators, the age that gave us Florio’s Montaigne and North’s

Plutarch, and certain of the Italian Novelle. He has the fullbodied flavour they relished, the vivacious physiognomy they could so admirably render with their broad, effective strokes and living colour. We have entirely lost their tradition— lost their splendid art and their audacity, their contempt for detail and peddling accuracy, if so be they could express an individuality well-nigh as strong as, if not identical with, the original. Our present ideals of translation, when we happen to have any, are quite different. They are scientific, philological, rather than artistic, and too often, in spite of excellent qualities, the work has the air of being done, not so much for the sake of literature, as under the eye of the examiner.” Some printings include 16 pages of publishers’ announcements inserted after the text.

By Cavaliere Cipriano Piccolpasso, of Castel Durante (1524-1579); in the original Italian; with translation and an introduction by Bernard Rackham, F.S.A., Keeper of the Department of Ceramica, Victoria and Albert Museum, and Albert Van de Put, Keeper of the Library, Victoria and Albert Museum. London: The Victoria and Albert Museum, 1934. [10], x1-xxii, [2], 1-85, [1] pp., [88] pp. of plates: ill.; facsims. Printed in an edition of 750 copies (500 for sale in England and 250 for the United States) from the manuscript in the Library of the Victoria and Albert M useum.

tutti gli secreti di essa, cosa che per sino al di d’oggi è stata sempre tenuta ascosta, del cavaliere Cipriano Piccolpasso Durantino. Piccolpasso lived from 1524 to 1579, but his manuscript remained unpublished until the nineteenth century. Rackham had himself described the scope of Piccolpasso’s work in his Guide to Italian Maiolica, also published for the Victoria and Albert M useum (1933): “In the first book the author describes the method of obtaining and preparing the clay for the ‘body’ of the wares, the shapes, uses and sizes of the vessels commonly made, and the methods of shaping them either by throwing on a wheel or by pressing in hollow moulds. The second book is devoted to instructions for the preparation of glazes and pigments, the construction of the kilns and the procedure to be observed in firing; the third book treats of the processes of glazing and painting and the various designs current at the time of writing.” William King, in his review for the Times Literary Supplement, praised the translation as “particularly successful” but noted: “It would have been better for the editors if they had confined themselves to reproducing Piccolpasso’s drawings. The adjacent portions of the manuscript are, however, also reproduced in facsimile, and anyone who takes the trouble to compare these with the text as printed will agree that the number of errors in transcription is quite disproportionately high.” Italian text and parallel English translation in columns, followed by a facsimile of the manuscript.

3504 CELLINI, Benvenuto [La vita (1728)] The life of Benvenuto Cellini. A new version by Robert H. Hobart Cust, M.A. Oxon., author of “The pavement masters of Siena,” “Giovanni Antonio Bazzi.” London: The Navarre Society, 1935. 2 v. ([8], viii-xlii, [1], 2-390, [2] pp, [33] leaves pf plates; [4], v-xx, [1], 2-533, [3] pp., [30] leaves of plates): ill.; ports., geneal. table. This translation was first published by G. Bell & Son in 1910, and first published by the Navarre Society in 1927. Cust acknowledges the translations by Symonds and by M acdonell, but adds: “it has seemed desirable that a new and unexpurgated translation should be given of this brilliant and world-renowned classic, and in its preparation the text of Professor Orazio Bacci [Firenze: Sansoni, 1901], as that most generally accepted by Italian students, has been selected by the present Translator and carefully followed.” Concerning the style of Cellini’s book, Cust comments: “To attempt ... another version of Cellini’s M emoirs in the form of an essay in elegant, or even correctly

grammatical English would seem mere waste of time. Hence the object principally aimed at has been to make the English text reproduce as far as possible the Italian spirit. Nevertheless, it would be manifestly impossible to reproduce the worse-thanslipshod grammar, the mis-spelling and the peculiar jargon characteristic of — shall we say? — a half-educated cockney — one of those brilliantly witty geniuses, whose rapid translation of ideas into picturesque and weirdly expressive phrase is totally untrammelled by any tyrannical laws of orthography — into any language other than his own, so it frequently baffles all one’s ingenuity to reproduce Cellini’s style and mode of expression in another tongue with anything but a very distant semblance of its original charm.” In my experience, the several translators of the same text attempt to distinguish themselves by varying sentence structure and vocabulary, so where at one point Symonds has a character say “Oh, if that devil Benvenuto only saw us, shouldn’t we just catch it!” Cust’s version has “Oh! Woe betide us, if that devil of a Benvenuto should see us!” while Bull (1956) writes “If only that devil Benvenuto could see us, we’d be in for it!” In the same passage, Symonds refers to a woman as a strumpet, Cust as a whore, and Bull as a tart. One supposes another translator, depending on era or preference, might have used courtesan, or harlot, or call girl, or moll, or tramp, or hooker, or some other euphemism. Cust uses the most straightforward term, but one which would not have been printed in the newspapers of his time. For a note on Cellini, see entry 2912. *,OCLC

3505 CLEMENT XIV, Pope [Non solis accusatoribus credendum (1758). English and Italian] The ritual murder libel and the Jew: the report. By Cardinal Lorenzo Ganganelli (Pope Clement XIV); edited by Cecil Roth, D.Phil., F.R.Hist.S. London: The Woburn Press, [1935]. [14], 15-110, [2] pp, [3] leaves of plates.: ill.; facsims., port. This publication also includes a translation of the encyclical of Pope Innocent IV against the blood accusation (Lacrimabilem Iudeorum Alemannie, 1247), other pronouncements on the blood accusation, protests against the Kiev ritual murder accusation (1912), British opinion on the Der Stürmer “Ritual M urder” number (edited by Julius Streicher), and a select bibliography. A brief note in the Times Literary Supplement states: “As a piece of extremely able criticism of historical evidence Ganganelli’s report deserves to be widely read; its conclusions appear final, and it is not surprising that it was forcibly quoted in the protests which followed the Kieff trial of 1912.” Roth comments that Ganganelli (1705-1774, pope 1769-1774): “produced one of the most remarkable, broad-minded, and humane documents in the history of the Catholic Church — a document which will always cause his memory to be cherished in gratitude and affection by the Jewish people.” I have adopted as the title for the document the tag from Theodoret’s Ecclesiastical History which appears at the head of

3508 CORNARO, Luigi

[Discorsi della vita sobria (between 1555 and 1566)] How to live for a hundred years and avoid disease: a treatise. By Luigi Cornaro ...; translated by George Herbert; with an introduction by George Cooke, comparing Cornaro’s system with modern theories of diet. Oxford: The Alden Press, 1935. 63 pp. In addition to Cornaro’s treatise, this edition includes “A letter from a nun of Padua, the grand-daughter of Luigi Cornaro,” “M axims to be observed for the prolonging of life,” by an unknown 17th -century writer, and The Spectator, no. 195, by Addison. The writer of a brief notice for the Times Literary Supplement points out that Cooke’s introduction takes up twenty-five pages compared to Cornaro’s nineteen Cornaro (1475-1566), whose first name is elsewhere given as Alvise, was a Venetian gentleman who wrote his four Discorsi when he was over 80. Renda and Operti’s Dizionario storico della letteratura italiana refers to them as: “a masterpiece of sincerity and of spontaneous skill. Their unusual qualities account for the success of this booklet in Italy and abroad” ([1959]: 322). Cornaro writes: “An old man of an ill constitution, but living orderly, is more sure of life than the most strong young man who lives disorderly,” and continues: “the delights and pleasures in this age of eighty- three, which I now take, and which are such , as that men generally account me happie. I am continually in health, and I am so nimble, that I can easily get on horseback without the advantage of the ground, and sometimes I go up high stairs and hills on foot. Then, I am ever cheerfull, merrie and well-contented, free from all troubles and troublesome thoughts: in whose place, joy and peace have taken up their standing in my heart. I am not weary of life, which I pass with great delight.” According to Cornaro, the three evils of Lutheranism, flattery, and gluttony had all come into Italy within his memory. His hope was that “some gentle spirit” would purge her of the first and second, while he grappled with the third. Cornaro himself, after his conversion from gluttony at the age of thirty-five, restricted himself to twelve ounces of food and fourteen ounces of wine each day (for Cornaro, see also entry 3807).

3513 FRACASTORO, Girolamo [Syphilis (1530)] Fracastor, Syphilis or The French disease: a poem in Latin hexameters.

[motto] Happy are those who write Latin verses! Hazlitt. London: William Heinemann Medical Books, 1935. [4], v-vii, [1], 1-253, [1] pp., [4] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., ports. Sir Stephen Gaselee reviewed this new translation of Fracastoro’s poem in the Times Literary Supplement (for other translations, see 1931, 1934, and 1984). He wrote: “[Syphilis]

was at first celled the Morbus Gallicus, or ‘French disease’ ... and its later and universal term of syphilis is derived entirely from Fracastoro’s poem. It has been treated with mercury and guiacum, bismuth and a preparation of arsenic known as ‘salvarsan,’ but its final conquest and extirpation are not yet.” When Gaselee wrote this the agent of ‘final conquest,’ penicillin, had been isolated (in 1928, by Sir Alexander Fleming), but it was not used widely until the 1940s, after it had proved to be effective and non-toxic. Gasalee notes: “Fracastor’s is a typical Renaissance poem, and it originally described in flowery language, some way after Virgil, the potency of the disease and its symptoms and curative treatments. ... The text of the poem presents certain difficulties, with which M r, Wynne-Finch has adequately dealt; and his prose translation is smooth and accurate.” See also entries 3056 and 3128. LC,NYP,UTL

3514 GIOVIO, Paolo [Elogia doctorum virorum ad avorum memoria (1557)] An Italian portrait gallery: being brief biographies of scholars illustrious within the memory of our grandfathers for the published monuments of their genius. By Paolo Giovio of New Como, Bishop of Nocera; translated by Florence Alden Gragg, Professor of Latin in Smith College. Boston: Chapman & Grimes, Publishers, c1935. [8], 7-187, [3] pp., [1] leaf of plates: port. Born in Como in 1483 into the noble Zobii family, Paolo Latinized the family name to Jovius, which became, in Italian, Giovio. He studied medicine at Padua and Pavia, graduating in 1507, and practised first at Como and at M ilan, then, from about 1512, in Rome under the patronage of Julius II and Leo X. He was later in the service of Clement VII, who named him bishop of Nocera, near Salerno (but did not require him to live there). He also served Ippolito de’ M edici, and travelled with him on diplomatic missions in Italy and abroad. In 1536 Giovio started the construction of his villa at Como (which he called the M useum). There he hung his vast collection of portraits of the great and powerful. He wrote two series of Latin celebrations of the great men of his time (the Elogia, originally written as notes to his portrait collection), biographies, and a valuable work of contemporary history, Historiarum sui temporis libri (1550-52). In 1549 Pope Paul III denied him the title of Bishop of Como, and he decided to move to Florence, where he died in 1552. Giovio was also an avid collector of imprese (that is, devices, heraldic designs and emblems with their accompanying mottoes), which he described in his Dialogo dell’imprese militari e amorose, published posthumously in 1555 (see entry 7635). In her preface, the translator notes: “The text followed in this translation is that of the edition of Antwerp, 1557. In that edition and in all subsequent editions each elogium is followed by a number of poems by various authors, which were not part of Giovio’s work. I have not thought it worth while to include these.” GLX,LC,NYP

3523 Peter Idley’s Instructions to his son. Edited, with introduction and notes, by Charlotte D’Evelyn. Boston: D. C.

(The Modern Language Association of America monograph series; 6) [4], v-vii, [1], 1-240 pp, [2] leaves of plates.: ill. This fifteenth-century didactic poem in two books, by Peter Idle (d. 1474?) is based on two Latin treatises by Albertano da Brescia (13 th c.), Liber consolationis et consilii (1246) and Liber de amore et dilectione Dei et proximi et de forma vitae (1238), for the first book, and on Handling Synne, by Robert M annyng (fl. 1288-1338), and The Fall of Princes, a translation by John Lydgate (ca. 1360-ca. 1451) of Boccaccio’s De casibus virorum illustrium, for the second book. This edition is based on Cambridge University M s. Ee.4.37. The editor includes a table of correspondences for Idle’s passages from Albertano. Idle incorporated forty-six stanzas from Lydgate into his second book, with slight or no changes. A brief review in the Times Literary Supplement notes that the translator: “has been in no danger of overestimating the importance of her author, and accordingly has been at pains to show how admirably his life and work illustrate the outlook and temper of the average fifteenth-century country gentleman.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Excerpts from the 1830 edition of The Code of Terpsichore. The eight parts are: 1. [Introduction]; 2. Study of the legs; 3. Study of the body; 4. Study of the arms; 5. Study of the body; 6. Of temps, steps, etc.; 7. Pirouettes; 8. Of the serious dancer, etc. Carlo Blasis (1803-1878) was the foremost male dancer of his time, until in his early thirties a foot injury ended his stage career. He is said to have made the joking but worldly wise remark that he would leave the theatre before the theatre left him. In 1837 he became director of the Imperial Academy at M ilan which, under his leadership, grew from an obscure troupe to the recognized leading ballet company of the world. The Code of Terpsichore was written during his successful time in London in the 1820s, and was there translated, and published in English. The French edition, Manuel complet de la danse (1830, with several later editions) became the standard reference book on the theory and practice of dancing, including ballet, pantomime, and ballroom dancing.

In his review for the Times Literary Supplement, Professor C. H. Williams notes that M ancini: “was an Italian resident in France. He visited England, probably arriving before the death of Edward IV in April, 1483. He was recalled to France in July of the same year, and by December had written his impressions of English affairs from the death of Edward IV to the accession of Richard. M ancini never reveals the sources of his information, and even the painstaking researches of his editor fail to show that he had access to anything more authoritative than the gossip open to a temporary resident in a foreign country. It is obvious that he knew little about England outside London, and his exact relationship to those in high places is uncertain. He gives a discerning character sketch of Edward IV, which agrees with what we know from other sources, and there is a good general picture of the intrigue and uncertainty that followed the death of the King.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Just why the author wished to comment only upon his sonnets, and not to include also his other love poems (five sestine, eight canzoni, and one ballade), as well as other verses of similar character, is not known, and is a matter for critical study and speculation.” Reprinted by AM S Press in 1973.

Alvise Cà da M osto (1432-1488) made his voyages to Western Africa between 1454 and 1456. His account of his voyages, and of Pedro de Sintra’s voyage of 1462, was first published in the collection Paesi novamente retrovati, published in Vicenza in 1507, and was probably written after Cà da M osto’s return to Italy in 1463. His account became better known when it was included by Ramusio in the first volume of his Navigazioni, published in Venice in 1550. Cà da M osto’s claim to have discovered the Cape Verde Islands in 1456 is supported by the editor, though the traveller himself notes that the voyage which led to the colonisation of the islands was undertaken by others around 1459.

Clavigero’s Storia was first published in Venice, two years after the author’s death; prepared by his brother Ignacio, and printed by Fenzo. Clavigero (1731-1787) was born in Vera Cruz, M exico (both his father, and his mother’s family, had moved to Mexico from Spain). He was educated by the Jesuits, and became one of the most learned men in all M exico. He wrote many works, secular and religious, in Latin and Spanish, but in 1768 the Jesuits were expelled from M exico, and Clavigero took refuge in Italy. His major work as a historian, Storia antica del Messico, was published in four volumes in Cesena in 1780-81, and translated into English and published in London in 1787. Both this work and his Storia della California were written in Spanish, though first published in Italian. In the sixteenth century, Cortés and others had attempted to establish settlements in Baja California, but it was not until the eighteenth century that the Jesuits were successful in establishing missions on the peninsula. The editors write: “They established there eighteen M issions, converted thousands of Indians to the Christian faith, collected them into villages, established ports of entry for the M anilla galleons, built ships,

cultivated the soil, raised live stock, established schools, taught the Indians self-government and the principles of Christianity, and laid the foundation for a permanent and prosperous state. The colorful story of this remarkable achievement is told in a most vivid and pleasing style in the volume written by Father Francisco Javier Clavigero.” ALB,LC,OCLC

Van Doren writes, in his introduction: “The moralism in the story of Pinocchio makes it lifelike. Before the puppet rushes off into fresh mischief he has moments of moral hesitation, but not long enough to hold him back. After he has been punished by bad luck he is penitent for a time, until he has accumulated enough energy to be tempted again. Puppets are like men in this. The happy romantic ending does not matter. Stories of adventure must end somewhere, and one end is about as good as another. What matters is the adventures. Of these Pinocchio has as many as he could have with his size. He is an Odysseus too small and young to capture a city. Pinocchio kills a Cricket, or thinks he has done it. ... His Calypso is the benevolent, motherly M aiden with Azure Hair. ... Though he can lie like Odysseus, Pinocchio’s Odyssey is aimed at the nursery or the schoolroom. ... There is nothing in the story of Pinocchio beyond the reach of a child’s imagination.” For another note, see entry 2915. OCLC,Osborne

Barnes; with an introduction by Cecil Roth. London: The Soncino Press, 1937. [9], x-xv, [2], 2-468 pp. In his review of this translation for the Times Literary Supplement, C. S. Lewis tells us that: “Judah Abrabanel, or Leone Ebreo, as his gentile friends called him, physician to Don Gonsalvo de Cordoba, reputed friend of Pico della M irandola, and Platonic theologian, is a figure not perhaps sufficiently familiar to English students of the Renaissance. ... The Dialogues, written apparently as early as 1502, are of equal interest to the literary historian and to the philosopher as a document of that mode of thought which is loosely called ‘Renaissance Platonism.’” The dialogues are cast as conversations between a lover, Philo, and his mistress and pupil, Sophia. Lewis comments that: “the whole of the second Dialogue is an important reminder of something we easily forget — that the gods were never, to the men of that age, devils (as to the Fathers) nor figments (as to the Augustans), but always something more; planets, elements, or moral allegories. He has much, too, to tell us of angels and intelligences, but it is all about their relations to God and to the system of things, and not about their possible contacts with one another or with human individuals. He writes, in fact, as a genuine theologian, and on the theological side a permanent value may be claimed for his work.” This is the second book issued in connection with the Soncino Jewish Publication Society.

I promessi sposi is the great work of Alessandro M anzoni (1785-1873) and is among the greatest of all novels, but it has never achieved the success in the English-speaking world of, say, Don Quixote, Madame Bovary, War and Peace, or The Magic Mountain. The touchstone for readers in twentiethcentury England, Canada, or the United States may well be M anzoni’s explicitly Christian viewpoint. Professor Bernard Chandler of the University of Toronto wrote: “M anzoni’s novels and poetry have exercised negligible influence in Englishspeaking countries. Nor have his literary views received adequate notice. Critics have proposed various explanations of this omission, but if I promessi sposi had expressed a spiritual quest rather than achieved certainty, an existential dilemma rather than a theological solution, perhaps the book would have

obtained the critical reputation its artistic qualities deserve.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature 1979: 315) M anzoni’s stated purpose in the novel is to show the workings of divine providence in history, specifically in the day-to-day events in the lives of ordinary people; hence the obvious moralizing of the text and the moral lessons implicit in the personalities of the characters.

Press, 1937. (Opera libretti) [6], ix-xiii, [1], 1-95, [1] pp. Concerning his translations of librettos, Dent writes: “English is a perfectly good language for singing, if singers will take the trouble to pronounce it naturally, as actors do. ... The first duty of a translator is to make the story of the opera clear, and to write words simple enough to be intelligible when sung. If only for this reason, the words must be accurately fitted to the music; and after these conditions are fulfilled, there is not much chance left for ‘poetry’. The reader is asked to remember that the words of these English versions have been written to be sung and acted, not to be read.” Also issued in paper.

He declares that the three evils of Lutheranism, flattery, and gluttony had all come into Italy within his memory (he was a close contemporary of M ichelangelo), and he hoped that “some gentle spirit” would purge her of the first and second, while he grappled with the third, and that he would live to see her restored to her older and better ways. A sick man from overindulgence in his thirties, he was told by his doctors that he must diet, or soon suffer “the privation of life.” He chose abstinence, recovered his health within a year, and began to preach his regimen (he restricted himself to twelve ounces of food and fourteen ounces of wine daily) as the sure and certain road to longevity for all.

The general editor for the Argonaut Press was N. M . Penzer. The original Italian edition was published at Jerusalem by the Press of the Franciscan Fathers; the English translation was first published at Cairo by the Government Press in 1917. Guarmani (1828-1884), a native of Leghorn, moved to Syria with his father, two brothers, and three sisters, in 1850. Carruthers writes: “At Beirut Carlo at first devoted himself to trade, but he was not suited to a sedentary life. He soon became the Agent of the Imperial French Postal Service at Jerusalem, but also extended his trading activities by establishing relations with the nomad tribes of the borderlands. Although he held this official post for twelve years, he must also have had ample leisure at his disposal, for he was able to visit Egypt, and to return to Italy on several occasions. He was also free to devote himself to his own special interest, namely the study and acquisition of the best types of Arab horses.” His book on the thoroughbred Arabian horse, El Kamsa, was published in 1864 (for a translation, see entry 8421). Carruthers writes that Guarmani was then: “commissioned to buy stallions for both the French government and for H.M . the King of Italy, and the journey which he undertook in 1864 was outwardly expressly for this purpose. In this he succeeded, and four months later, after a hazardous journey, he returned with his string of horses complete, and settled down in Jerusalem to write an account of his experiences.” Carruthers comments that the place Guarmani occupies in the story of Arabian exploration is significant. He was one of the first Europeans to travel extensively in the northern Najd in the Arabian peninsula, and to describe, and even to map it. OCLC,UTL

The original notebooks, numbering upwards of 5000 pages, were described by Leonardo himself in the opening lines of one of them, now in the British M useum, as ‘a collection without order’. ... M r.

In Dent’s opinion: “There can be no doubt whatever that Don Giovanni made its first appearance as a comic opera. It was so far from being a heroic or romantic opera that it was not even called a dramma eroi-comico, like a few operas of that day, the point of which was that they made fun of heroic figures in a style that we might now conveniently call ‘Gilbertian’. As for real romantic opera, such a thing had not yet begun to exist. Don Giovanni himself is treated throughout as more or less a comic character; he never has a big serious song in the whole

Pomponazzi (1462-1525), a philosopher, was born in M antua and educated at the University of Padua. For most of his adult life he taught at Padua, and then at the University of Bologna. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Only a few of Pomponazzi’s writings were published during his lifetime. The most controversial was the Latin treatise De immortalitate animae (1516, On the Immortality of the Soul), which grew out of a remark in a lecture that Aquinas’s views on immortality did not agree with those of Aristotle. Pomponazzi’s

conclusion is that the question of the soul’s mortality or immortality cannot be determined through natural reason; the question therefore must be resolved by God Himself, who has made the doctrine of the soul’s immortality an article of faith in the Holy Scriptures. The book was publicly burned, and a rebuttal was commissioned by Pope Leo X. ... Pomponazzi’s style represented a marked turn from the normal humanist search for elegance of expression. His rationalist approach to such issues as the immortality of the soul would later be viewed by free thinkers of the Enlightenment as an early example of their own approach to these questions.” (1979: 412-413) The translator notes: “This translation is based on Giovanni Gentile’s edition, M ilano 1925, corrected from the rotographs of the University of Pennsylvania copy of the editio princeps, Bologna, 1516.” Michigan,OCLC

Petrarch was so pleased with the story that he learnt it by heart to repeat to his friends and then put it into Latin prose, as De obedientia et fide uxoria Mythologia (1373).

Bibliography 1939 Latin text and English translation on facing pages. The poem by Bernardo Zamagna (1735-1820) was written in honour of Francesco Lana Terzi (1631-1687) and his airship project. It describes an imaginary flight to various parts of the world. Nicolson writes: “The Navis Aeria, written by a scientist-priest in 1768, occupies a peculiarly interesting place in the history both of aerostatics and of literature. It reflects the long period when through legend, tradition, romance, man expressed in prose and poetry his desire for the wings of a dove; it reflects equally the ‘new science’ of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. To its author there seemed nothing incongruous in the use of the Latin language, the employment of the loveliest classical allusions in the service of the science of the future. To

87 Zamagna and his age both were equally valid; so closely did he and his contemporaries live with both past and future that the mariners who circumnavigate the globe in his aërial ship seem at one with the Argonauts.” The first manned flight in the M ontgolfier brothers’ balloon took place in 1783. Zamagna, a Jesuit, published his translation into Latin of the Odyssey in 1777. He later taught as Professor of Literature and Greek at M ilan, and completed his long career as vicargeneral to the archbishop of Ragusa.

4001 ACONCIO, Iacopo [Stratagematum Satanae (1565)] Satan’s stratagems [Books I-IV]. Translated from Jacopo Acontio, Satanae stratagemata, 1565, with an introduction by Charles D. O’Malley; prepared by the personnel of the Work Projects Administration, Project No. 665-08-3-236. A. Yedidia, Supervisor; P. Radin, Editor. San Francisco: California State Library, 1940. (Occasional papers. English series (Sutro Branch, California State Library); no. 5 [part I]) 2 v. ([2], ii-xviii, [1], 2-98; 203 leaves) Aconcio (1492?-1566?) was born in the small town of Ossana, near Trent. He studied law, though with little enthusiasm for the law or respect for lawyers, and was admitted to the Collegio dei notai in Trent in 1548. Fearing for his safety after the election of the strict Paul IV to the papacy, Aconcio fled to Switzerland. He moved to England, after the accession of Elizabeth I in 1558, in the company of English religious refugees from the M arian persecution whom he met in Strassburg. His Strategematum satanae was written between 1562 and 1564, and first published in Basel. O’M alley writes that: “the work [is] remarkable for the rational and methodical manner in which it presents its attack against religious intolerance. ... It is likely that he was most strongly moved to compose his work as a result of his observation of the religious wars in France. Not only are they mentioned several times, but shortly after the issue of the first edition of the Stratagems, Acontio permitted a French translation of his work to appear. As will be noted in the text, Acontio calls attention to the uprising at M ünster in 1535, and we must not forget that Acontio had been compelled to leave his native land because of rigid intolerance there.” He died in London. O’M alley’s edition is based on a translation originally made by Walter T. Curtis. See also entry 7801. “This publication is sponsored by the California State Library.” OCLC,Virginia

Some are abridged, and many have simply misunderstood the original ... . Worst of all, they have not paid due attention to the things that make this book exceptional: anecdotes, literary references, personal reminiscences. In editing out most of these jewels, they have. Regrettably, transformed a classic into a poorly translated cookbook.” LC,OCLC

4022 GIOVANNI, Achille de [Morfologia del corpo umano (1891, 1904)] Clinical commentaries deduced from the morphology of the human body.

Part general. New York: Rebman Company, [1940]. [4], v-xii, 1-436 pp., [1] folded leaf of plates: ill.; tables. Achille de Giovanni (1836-1916) published the second edition of his monograph under the title Commentarii di clinica medica desunti dalla morfologia del corpo umano. The English translation was first published by Rebman in 1909. In his introduction, he writes: “I have said that the cause of the special morbidity of the organism resides in its special morphology. If the reader will reflect on this sentence, and apply it to clinical pathology, he will perceive in the fact of organization the doctrine of constitutions and of temperaments, or, according to Thoma, the theory of individual differences. I consent to follow the path taken by the great masters, and with the facts of the new science I will illustrate the indestructible axioms of physiology and pathology, by which has been transmitted to us, and after us will be transmitted, the best part of their work.” In his work, De Giovanni introduced the concept that inheritance was a factor in the causes of disease; that there was a predisposition to contract certain diseases in the constitutions of individuals within a population. He termed this concept neocostituzionalismo, in contrast to the concept of external causes of disease as the sole and principal factors. His early career was coincidental with the developing importance of cellular pathology in medicine, and he wrote: “I became convinced that medicine must be considered as a branch of zoology, or ... of zoological anthropology, which is the study of the human group considered in its relations with the rest of organized nature.” California,OCLC

Bernardino Ramazzini (1633-1714), physician and philosopher, graduated from Parma with a degree in medicine in 1659. He became professor of medicine at M odena in 1682, and held the same position at Padua from 1700 until his death. He is best known for this book on the diseases of workers, written in 1700. Ramazzini’s work was the first systematic treatise on occupational medicine. His book describes the working conditions typical of more than fifty occupations, and the diseases of workers in these occupations. He had studied miners, tanners, potters, glassblowers, painters, gilders, chemists, tinsmiths, privy cleaners, corpse handlers, midwives, brewers, vintners, stonecutters, singers and voice trainers, farmers, fisherman, and occupations that required standing or sedentary work, with many others. His accounts were descriptive and inferential rather than statistical, but they still provide a useful model for occupational health, and information on the social history of the working classes in Italy in the early modern period (see also entry 6459). Ramazzini was an early student of epidemiology, and studied outbreaks of malaria in Italy between 1690 and 1695. He was an early advocate of the use of the quinine-rich cinchona bark specifically for the treatment of malaria. OCLC,Queen’s

[New Haven]: printed for the Columbiad Club of Connecticut, 1941. [5], 6-14, [2] pp.: facsims. “Two hundred copies have been printed by Carl Purington Rollins at the printing-office of the Yale University Press. ... Nos. 51 to 199 are for sale.” Fisher Library (RBSC) copy is no. 128. The full translation De la pirotechnia by Gnudi and Smith was published by the American Institute of M ining and M etallurgical Engineers in 1942. Issued in paper. The facsimiles— the engraved border on the title page, and a page on typecasting— are reproduced from the first edition of 1540. Smith writes: “The Pirotechnia of Vannoccio Biringuccio ... has the distinction of being the first printed work on metallurgy. ... Biringuccio was a Sienese architect and metallurgist who died in 1539, the year before the publication of the Pirotechnia. Although the work is of undoubted priority in the metallurgical field, it has remained largely unappreciated by English technological historians, and the section on typefounding has been entirely ignored. This antedated the fuller description of the type mould published by Christopher Plantin in 1657, and the exceedingly brief and apparently incorrect description by Hans Sachs appended to Jost Amman’s woodcut

of the type founder (1568).” Biringuccio’s formula, included in the chapter on the pewterer and his craft, is high in tin, and has a low melting point. Smith also notes: “The master pewterer’s mark, impressed by punches on approved finished ware, was an almost exact prototype of the typefounder’s matrix.” Smith infers from this, and from the evidence of the pewterer’s permanent moulds, that Gutenberg could have learned how to cast type from the techniques of the pewterers, rather than, as was supposed, from the brass-founders.

4103 GIOVANNI, da Pian del Carpine, Archbishop of Antivari [Historia Mongolorum (1330-31)] The journey of William of Rubruck to the eastern parts of the world, 1253-55, as narrated by himself, with two accounts of the earlier journey of John of Pian de Carpine. Translated from the Latin, and edited, with an introductory notice, by William Woodville Rockhill. Peking, China: [s.n.], 1941. [9], x-lvi, [1], 2-304 pp.: folded map. A reprint of the edition published for the Hakluyt Society at London in 1900 as no. 4 of the second series of its Works (seen). Giovanni da Pian del Carpine was chosen by Pope Innocent IV to lead a mission (really more in the nature of a diplomatic reconnaissance) to the Mongol Khan. John was then more than sixty years old, and reportedly very heavy and fat. He and his companions suffered great deprivations on their journey, often sleeping on the bare ground and having little or nothing to eat. Their route took them through Kiev, passing to the north of the Caspian and Aral seas, and into Mongolia. They arrived at the imperial summer encampment near Karakorum, where they witnessed the enthronement of the Khan Kuyuk, grandson of Genghis. Carpini invited the Khan to become a Christian, but he responded by dictating a letter to the Pope which asked him and the Christian princes to come to the East and swear allegiance to the Khan. Carpini delivered this document to the Pope at Lyon in 1247, and it survives in the Vatican Archives. His account of the mission does give us the first description by a European of the M ongol way of life — he mentions the clothing made of skins, the felt-covered dwellings, and the M ongols’ fondness for fermented mare’s milk.

In Greek mythology, and in the drama by Euripides, Alcestis is the wife of Admetus, King of Pherae. Admetus was permitted by Apollo not to die if someone would agree to take his place, and this Alcestis did. She was rescued from the grasp of Death by Hercules.

This translation is based on the Latin edition of Graesse, published in Leipzig in 1850. The translators have made no use of previous English translations (the first printed translation was that of Caxton, in 1483). They write: “If we have sought to give some flavour of antiquity to a modern translation, we have had no wish to modernize and old one. Nor have we attempted to give literary ‘style’ to a work which is almost completely devoid of it in the original. In fact, the whole aim of this translation has

been to make the Legend available in an accessible and easily readable form. Thus we offer it as an adaptation, although deletions are few, and changes in the text still fewer.” Reprinted in one volume in 1948. NYP,OCLC,UTL

4202 BIRINGUCCI, Vannoccio [De la pirotechnia (1540)] The Pirotechnia of Vannoccio Biringuccio. Translated from the Italian with an introduction and notes by Cyril Stanley Smith & Martha Teach Gnudi; publication sponsored by the Seeley W. Mudd Memorial Fund. New York: The American Institute of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers, 1942. (Seeley W. Mudd series) [7], viii-xxvi, [3], 4-476, [4] pp.: ill.; diagrams. Colophon: One thousand copies of this book have been printed by Carl Purington Rollins, Printer to the University, at the Printing-Office of the Yale University Press in July, 1942. The frontispiece is a facsimile of the title-page of the first edition of De la pirotechnia, published in Venice by V. Roffinello in 1540. Dr. Douglas M cKie, writing in the Times Literary Supplement in 1963, remarks: “To Italy, and to an Italian, goes therefore the credit for the first printed book on general technology. With its plainly written and detailed descriptions of many industrial processes and its woodcut illustrations, over eighty in number, of metallurgical and other operations, of distilling apparatus, of bell-founding and guncasting, of the manufacture and working of glass, of wiredrawing and of other mechanical arts, it is the first classic in the vast literature of European technology and in its pages we have the first general account of the beginnings of our modern industrial civilization.” Biringucci was born in 1480, the son of an architect, but it was only in 1538, just a year before his death, that he was appointed head of the Papal foundry in Rome and director of munitions. His great book was published posthumously. M cKie continues: “It is worth recalling that the Pirotechnia appeared three years earlier than those two other classics that are usually said to have ushered in the so-called ‘scientific revolution’, the De humani corporis fabrica (Basel,

1543) of Andreas Vesalius and the De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (Nüremberg, 1543) of Nicolaus Copernicus, both under Italian influence; the broader vision now being taken of the history of science would name all three of these nearcontemporary works as evidence of the quickening of the scientific spirit in Italy in the 1540s. And the name of scientist cannot be denied to Biringuccio; for he set down in plain words and without technical obscurity his account of industry as he had known and seen and practised it, not what he had heard or read about it; he made experiments and he wrote from experience; he claimed no discoveries for himself; and he laughed at the alchemists with their alleged transmutations and at those who sought metals by means of the divining-rod, which to him smelled of necromancy.” This translation was reprinted, with a few corrections, in 1943. It was again reprinted by Basic Books in 1959, by M .I.T. Press in 1966, and by Dover Publications in 1990 and 2005. It is curious that the useful review from which I quote above refers to a reprint of the 1943 edition by Oldbourne Press which, perhaps for copyright reasons, was never released for publication, though welcomed by M cKie for its good paper and binding.

[7], viii-xvi, [5], 4-447, [1] pp., [2] leaves of plates: ill.; facsim., port. M azzei , a businessman, came to Virginia from England in 1773. In his foreword, Harry M organ Ayres writes: “Admiring England, where he had made his home, because a noble lord could be hanged there, he left it for America because he regarded the treatment accorded to Wilkes a denial of the principles of representative government. One who had ransacked London in company with Franklin looking, of all things, for a Franklin stove, would naturally have formed some hopeful ideas about the North American colonies.” He quickly became a friend of Jefferson and an active supporter of the Revolution. From 1779 to 1783 he was an agent of Virginia to secure arms in Italy. He later became the agent of King Stanislaus of Poland in Paris during the French Revolution. M arraro writes: “For the convenience of the reader of the English translation of the Memoirs, the long narrative [cast in the form of a letter addressed to a friend] has been divided into chapters and the chapters subdivided into sections, where the material lends itself to this arrangement. In a few instances, repetitious matter or unimportant and tedious digressions have been omitted from the text. Otherwise, M azzei’s life story is here presented just as he set it down.

4210 RICCI, Matteo [De christiana expeditione apud Sinas suscepta ab Societate Jesu (1615)] China in the sixteenth century: the journals of Matthew Ricci, 1583-1610. Translated from the Latin by Gallagher; with a foreword by Richard J. Cushing. New York: Random House, c1942. 616 pp. The Latin version of Ricci’s commentaries was prepared by Nicholas Trigault (1577-1628), and was first published in 1615. Ricci’s own collected letters from China were eventually published in Italy in 1913. The Jesuit missionary M atteo Ricci spent the last twenty-eight of the fifty-eight years of his life in China. He was a remarkable man, given an exceptionally difficult task. He was able to make his way, overcoming many difficulties, from Portuguese Macao where he had arrived in 1582 to Beijing, where he was finally able to establish a Christian mission in 1601. In 1607 he made contact with the Portuguese missionary and explorer Bento de Gois (1562-1607) who was in western China, and was able to confirm that the

104

‘Cathay’ of M arco Polo and the China of the Portuguese mariners were one and the same. In M acao, Ricci had begun to learn Chinese, both the spoken language and the ideographic script. His advantage was his extremely powerful and welltrained memory. His mastery of mnemonic techniques, such as the use of vivid imagery to prompt the recall of lengthy sequences of bits of information, helped him to memorize in a few months many thousands of ideographs, though it was twelve years before he felt ready to communicate his methods to his Chinese pupils and acquaintances in their own language. Ricci published several works in Chinese, including a version of part of Euclid’s Elements, a book on friendship, a treatise on the mnemonic arts, works on Christian theology, and a world map (1602) with China properly placed at the centre of the world. This 1942 edition, though reported in the OCLC database, may not have been published at that time (it is not reported in the Library of Congress catalogue).

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

Frederick II of the house of Hohenstaufen (1194-1250) was crowned German king in 1215 and Holy Roman Emperor in 1220. He was King of Sicily, and controlled southern Italy. Frederick was Italian by birth and temperament, and left German affairs largely to his sons. His struggle with the papacy culminated under Innocent IV, who declared Frederick deposed and excommunicated in 1245. Frederick died of dysentery during the ensuing war. In Sicily, he promoted far-seeing legal and fiscal reform and expanded commerce and industry. His many gifts made him a patron and student of medicine, mathematics, astronomy, poetry, and also of falconry. In his review of Frederick’s book, for the Times Literary Supplement, M ajor Guy Paget writes: “At his court the barbarity of the north and west met with the culture of the east and south. Frederick shows this in his book. The kindness and gentleness he advocates in the training of hawks and hounds is in startling contrast to the diabolical cruelty he inflicted on the birds used in the training of them, of which he seems completely unconscious. ... The first book deals with all sorts of birds and here the author shows himself to be a great naturalist and observer of their habits. After 700 years in very few instances is the royal author in fault. The other books deal with the care and training of hawks, on which they can claim to be the last words.” To the translation is added a biography of Frederick, and an annotated bibliography, together with articles on the capture of hawks, on modern falconry, and on coins and medals. Paget comments: “This splendidly produced and scholarly work need not be regarded as a relic of the past, but as the translation of a fresh work.” This edition was reissued by Stanford University Press in 1961 and 1969.

4401 BLASIS, Carlo [Trattato elementare teorico-pratico sull’arte del ballo (1830). English and French] An elementary treatise upon the theory and practice of the art of dancing. By Carlo Blasis (premier danseur); translated by Mary Stewart Evans (with a biographical sketch and foreword). New York: Kamin Dance Gallery, 1944. [5], 6-59, [17] pp.: ill.; facsims., port. Includes a facsimile of the title page of the original French edition of 1820, Traité elémentaire, théorique et pratique de l’art de la danse, which was published in M ilan. Concerning the translation, Evans notes: My aim has been to make a free translation, while preserving Blasis’ style and the nineteenthcentury flavor. I should add that I have re-edited it extensively to spare the reader frequent recourse to footnotes.” The illustrations are by Blasis himself, and Evans writes: “We are told by his contemporaries that he was a universal genius and could have won equal recognition as writer, painter or musician.” After the foot injury which ended his career as a dancer, Blasis was, in 1837, made director of the Imperial Academy at M ilan, which was connected with La Scala opera house. Evans writes: “During his directorate it became the leading academy of the world and up to our own time has sent teachers all over the globe to spread the Italian technique. Russia owes much to Italian dancing masters, who have given her dancers that precision and sparkle which, for all their superb native elevation and elasticity, they might otherwise have lacked.” The Elementary Treatise is considered the first comprehensive book on dancing technique to have been published. It also formed the basis for his more comprehensive Code of Terpsichore (1828), published in a second edition in 1831 as The Art of Dancing (see 1976, 2005). LC,Minnesota,OCLC

There are many Saints who never mortified their bodies by fasting, or wearing hair shirts: their bodily infirmities excused them. There are many Saints too who were not virgins: their vocation was otherwise. But in Paradise there is no Saint who was not humble.” Reprinted in 1947; reissued by TAN Books in 2006. KSM ,LC,OCLC

It includes the M arquis of Villarosa’s account of Vico’s last years (1818).The historian of philosophy D. J. B. Hawkins reviewed this translation for the Times Literary Supplement. He notes that: “The autobiography throws light on Vico’s intellectual history, although it suffers from a tendency to antedate the stages of his thought. ... Vico gave a new impulse to the study of history by perceiving that human history is not merely the record of outward changes of institutions and techniques, but is even more centrally concerned with inward changes of mentality. He discovered what may be called Topsy’s principle: that many human ideas and institutions just grow and that explicit theorizing about their purpose and importance is often a later rationalization. In this way he inspired a deeper understanding of history and made possible a philosophy of history.” Hawkins judges the translation excellent, the long introduction helpful, and the whole an admirable preface to the study of Vico.

Bellarmino Bagatti O.F.M ., at the Franciscan Press in Jerusalem in 1945, as the first part of the Publications of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum, n. 2. Of Niccolò, Bagatti writes: “On April 6, 1346 he embarked [from Venice] and arrived in Cyprus 56 days later after a passage both smooth and stormy. Having remained six months as chaplain at the court of Hugh Ibilin, he embarked anew, this time for Jaffa. On arrival in Jerusalem he did four months service at the Holy Sepulchre, and then went on pilgrimage around Palestine. The first days of the next year see him in Syria, whence he undertook a journey to Babylon which he was forced to interrupt at Bagdad. The following year he embarked at Beirut for Egypt, visited Alexandria, Cairo and Sinai, whence he returned via Gaza to Egypt. Putting to sea again he halted at Cyprus to continue soon again making Venice by Christmas [1349].” Four of his companions died during the travels. Niccolò intended his narrative to be a guide book, and as such it was very successful. The book, or sections of it, appeared under various titles, as an anonymous work, or attributed to a certain Fra Noè, and by 1900 there had been a total of 63 known editions. In addition to his itineraries and descriptions, Niccolò had much to say about interpreters and guides, and details the indulgences associated with visits to the Holy Places. LC,UTL

(University classics) xxiii, 250 pp. White writes: “Although Campanella’s Civitas Solis is founded to some extent on the monastic way of life, it is in sharp revulsion against medieval scholastic education, and it holds up as an ideal a state that is communally organized for the welfare of all through the technological use of science. This demands an educated citizenry, and Campanella’s conception of the aim of education, as the control of nature for man’s benefit, and of the means of education, as the study of natural phenomena with the use of visual aids, is an excellent example of Renaissance naturalism. ... Language study, the very center of Renaissance education, Campanella dismisses as mere memorization; the humane letters which Petrarch, Erasmus, and M ore had so ardently defended, Campanella practically ignores; but natural science, in all its aspects, he eulogizes as the source and authority for all philosophy.” The somewhat abbreviated translation is by T. W. Halliday; see also entry 3709. The other utopias are: Thomas M ore, Utopia; Francois Rabelais, “Abbey of Theleme”; M ichel De M ontaigne and William Shakespeare, “Of the cannibals,” and Gonzalo’s speech from The Tempest; Francis Bacon, New Atlantis.

The Dialogue, generally regarded as the work of Saint Catherine, is also ascribed to Sister Battistina Vernazza (14971587), her god-daughter and follower, who compiled it some time after Catherine’s death in 1510. In it, Irvine notes in her introduction, “we are shown not only the saint but also her reflection in the mirror which was Battista’s mind.” Reprinted in 1976 by Sheed & Ward in the series Spiritual masters.

Vasari (1511-1574) was a painter and architect who is best known today for his Lives of the Italian artists. The Oxford Companion to Art notes: “He was born in Arezzo and received his first lessons in drawing from Luca Signorelli, the cousin of his grandfather. In 1524 he went to Florence under the patronage of Cardinal Silvio Passerini and began his formal training with Andrea del Sarto and Baccio Bandinelli. At this time he briefly met M ichelangelo, whom he later idolized. After his period of apprenticeship he worked successfully as a painter mainly in Florence and in Rome. In 1555 he was appointed by Duke Cosimo de’ M edici architect for the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence, and in 1563 he founded in Florence the Accademia del Disegno [see entry 6401].” With regard to the Lives, the Companion notes: “Vasari wrote with a definite philosophy of art and art history. He believed that art is in the first instance imitation of nature and that progress in painting consists of the perfecting of the means of representation. ... The main theme of the Lives was to set forth the revival of the true art in Tuscany by Giotto and Cimabue, its steady progress at the hands of such artists as Ghiberti, Brunelleaschi, and Donatello, and its culmination with M ichelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael, living artists in whom the progress had finally reached ‘the summit of perfection’.” (1970: 1177) This translation was first published in 1900; the revised edition was first published in 1927.

[4], v-xv, [3], 3-309, [11] pp., [76] pp. of plates: ill. (some col.) This abridgement is based on the translation by M rs. Jonathan Foster, first published in 1850. John Pope-Hennessey reviewed the 1960 Allen and Unwin reprint of this abridgement for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented that the book was scarcely adequate as an introduction to Vasari’s Lives. He writes: “M iss Burroughs’s version differs almost as widely from M rs. Foster’s as it does from the Italian text. M rs. Foster, for example, did not reduce the majestic opening paragraph of the life of Michelangelo to the drivel that is printed here. ... In the new version many simple phrases are misunderstood, and even dimensions are wrongly rendered.” Betty Burroughs (b. 1899) was an artist born into a family of artists. The note in this volume states: “For the past ten years she has taught painting and sculpture in the Birch Wathen School [New York, an independent school for girls] and during the last four years she has also taught history of art. It was this latter course, for which she wrote her own outline, that suggested a new edition of Vasari, the indispensable source of information on Renaissance art.” Illustrations (view of Florence, ca. 1486-90, and map of Italy, 1525) on lining papers.

4809 FRESCOBALDI, Leonardo [Viaggio di Lionardo di Niccolò Frescobaldi fiorentino in Egitto e in Terra Santa (1818)] Visit to the holy places of Egypt, Sinai, Palestine and Syria in 1384. By Frescobaldi, Gucci & Sigoli; translated from the Italian by Fr. Theophilus Bellorini O.F.M. and Fr. Eugene Hoade O.F.M.; with a preface and notes by Fr. Bellarmino Bagatti O.F.M. Jerusalem: printed by Franciscan Press, 1948. (Publications of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum; no. 6) [9], 2-207, [1] pp., [16] leaves of plates: ill.; coat of arms, facsim., plan. The Pilgrimage of Lionardo di Niccolò Frescobaldi to the Holy Land is here published together with Viaggio al Monte Sinai di Simone Sigoli (1829), Voyage of Simone Sigoli to the Holy Land, and Pilgrimage of Giorgio Gucci to the Holy Places, first published in Italian in Viaggi in Terra Santa di Lionardo Frescobaldi e d’altri del secolo XIV (1862). M anuscripts of the accounts exist from the 14 th century and later (Sigoli), and the 15 th century or later (Frescobaldi and Gucci). The three writers were members of a party of thirteen Tuscans who undertook a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in 1384. They left Florence in August, travelling via Venice, Alexandria, and Cairo. They reached Sinai at the end of October, and travelled through Gaza, Hebron, Bethlehem, Jerusalem, the Jordan, and Galilee, reaching Damascus on November 9 th. They travelled in two groups to Beirut, and embarked for Italy on the 10th of April, arriving back in Florence on the last day of M ay, 1385. One pilgrim died early in the journey, and a further two of their number died in Damascus. The editors consider that Frescobaldi’s account was the first to be written down, prior to 1390, followed by that of Gucci, and of Sigoli, who completed his account on October 4, 1390. In literary terms, Frescobaldi’s account is considered the most elegant of the three, while Gucci’s is more systematic and richer in detail, and Sigoli’s is valued for its beauty of discourse, and has been presented as a model of fine writing. To add a contemporary note, the editors comment: “This travelogue came off the machine in Jerusalem during M ay-Nov. 1948 amid the rattle of guns and the roar of cannon which added

to the ruins of a city already encumbered with a burden of crime and glory.” OCLC,UTL

The editors state: “Considerable extracts of the first Commentary are translated, the whole of the second, and the account of the finding of ancient statues from the third. ... Stylistically there has been no attempt to provide an English equivalent for Ghiberti’s Italian, which is at times curiously abrupt, and has a trick of passing suddenly from present to past tense with a strangely disjointed effect: but it is hoped that the present rendering retains something of the original manner.” OCLC, Penn.

Written originally in Arabick, translated into Italian, from thence into English; and now published with a large historical preface and index to illustrate the whole by the translator of the first volume. London: Printed by A. Wilde for S. and E.

Ballard [etc.], 1948-53. 8 v.: ill. M arana (1642-1693) was a journalist and francophile who lived for many years in France. From his extensive reading about M oslem culture, he conceived the notion of having a Turk visit Paris and write back to his friends and colleagues all that he saw and did. M arana gave expression to this original idea in a collection of letters in which a M oslem character finds his way in a European and Christian city. M arana’s fictional M ahmut was sent to spy on the French for his master the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, but not all of his letters deal with affairs of state; some are personal letters to family and friends. He observes French civilization from the point of view of a bemused but liberal M oslem (he defends, for instance, the education of women). M ahmut has little time for the Roman Catholic clergy, who receive much abuse. The letters were placed in the Church’s Index soon after they appeared. Information published in the Gentleman’s Magazine (184041) and in the Dictionary of National Biography (v. 6, p. 185; v. 37, p. 366) indicates that the first part of the work, published in Paris in 1684, was written by M arana. The remainder has been ascribed to different Englishmen, among them Dr. Robert M idgley and William Bradshaw. It is probable however that M idgley simply edited the English translation, made by Bradshaw, of the original Italian manuscript. This reprint edition reproduces the 25th ed. of the first volume, the 13th ed. of volumes 2-6, and the 12 th ed. of volumes 6-8. The first volume has a general title page; each volume has a special title page. The original printer varies. OCLC

Pauly], in, The musical quarterly, XXXIV, 3 (July 1948), pp. 371-403; XXXV, 1 (January 1949), pp 85-105. M arcello’s work is a satire on the state of the Italian opera in 1720. His subtitle reads: “A sure and easy method to compose well and to produce Italian operas in the modern fashion. Containing useful and necessary instructions for librettists, composers, for singers of either sex, for impresarios, orchestra musicians, theatrical engineers, and painters of scenery, for those playing comic parts, for theater tailors, pages, extras, prompters, copyists, for patrons and mothers of female singers (virtuose), and for other persons connected with the theater. Dedicated by the book’s author to the writer of the same.” M arcello begins his instructions for librettists, for example: “A writer of operatic librettos, if he wants to be modern, must never have read the Greek or Latin classic authors, nor should he do so in the future. After all, the old Greeks and Romans never read the modern writers. Nor should he have the slightest knowledge of Italian meter and verse.” Similarly: “The modern impresario must not know anything at all about the theater, about music, poetry, or painting.” M USI,OCLC

from the third edition (1744) by Thomas Goddard Bergin and Max Harold Fisch. Ithaca, New York: Cornell University Press, 1948. [7], viii-xv, [4], 4-398, [2] pp., [2] leaves of plates: ill.; facsim., chronological table (folded). The translation is based on the edition edited by Nicolini for Laterza, published in 1928. In the first part of a continuing article on recent Anglo-American Vico scholarship, published in the first volume of New Vico Studies (1983), Giorgio Tagliacozzo presents a letter to M ax Fisch from the Italian historian Gaetano Salvemini, four months after the appearance of the English translation of Vico’s Autobiography (see 1944), which reads, in part: “Giambattista Vico dressed in English becomes one of us, yes one of us. We understand, we love, we admire him and we are amused by his childish vanity. Reading Vico in Italian is a hard job. Reading him in your English is a great pleasure. And one learns from the preface [introduction] what otherwise would have remained mysterious to him. I have to confess that I often tried to read Vico in Italian, and always had to give up. But now one can read him!” Tagliacozzo comments: “In observing that, by enabling him to circumvent the difficulty of Vico’s Italian, the English translation made the Neapolitan thinker more accessible to him, Professor Salvemini put his finger on an important fact: readers of Vico’s works in Italian are seriously handicapped by the difficulty of his language and style, while for the readers of Vico in the English translation of Fisch and Bergin this handicap is greatly reduced. ... Since their appearance, the two Fisch and Bergin translations — and especially that of the New Science — have been, with few exceptions, the basic instrument, the conditio sine qua non, of Vico studies in the English-speaking world, and thus the springboard to today’s rich, highly diversified and growing Vico scholarship in English. Besides introducing a significant number of scholars to Vico’s thought, the two translations have encouraged some of these scholars to look into the original Italian works by Vico and to examine other Vico materials in Italian (especially Neapolitan) libraries and cultural institutions.” KSM ,LC,UTL

CELLINI, Benvenuto [La vita (1728)] The life of Benvenuto Cellini: written by himself. [Translated by John Addington Symonds; introduced and illustrated by John Pope-Hennessy]. London: Phaidon Press, 1949. [6], vii-xiv, [2], 1-498 pp., [94] pp. and [1] leaf of plates: ill.; ports. Pope-Hennessy notes that the text is that of the third edition of Symonds’s Life, with some changes to the footnotes. He writes: “A few coins and one drawing apart, the whole of Cellini’s authenticated work is illustrated in the plates at the end of the book. A number of other works directly or indirectly related to the narrative are interspersed in the text.” This new and fully-illustrated edition of Cellini’s autobiography drew this comment form the novelist Anthony Powell, writing in the Times Literary Supplement: “It is impossible to read Cellini without being reminded from time to time of Casanova. ... In other words, Cellini’s recollections belong to a specific class of violent, restless, narcissistic temperament, particularly at home in picaresque narrative ... . Cellini possessed, of course, gifts to which Casanova (though they shared an occasional interest in black magic) had no claim whatsoever; but each has his place in the development of the romantic approach to life, of which literature still offers plenty of examples. It is obvious that a great deal of what Cellini has to say is not, strictly speaking, true; but almost equally striking is the fact that when he describes some personal failure in terms of success some vestige of what actually happened almost always seems to emerge, as it were, in spite of himself. As a matter of fact, the notes often suggest that the story is nearer the truth than might sometimes be thought.” Also issued in an India paper edition. KSM ,OCLC,UTL

Il paradiso translated by Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957) and Barbara Reynolds (b. 1914). In 1962, when this translation was completed, E. V. C. Plumptre, for the Times Literary Supplement, wrote: “That M iss Sayers did not live to complete her work on the Commedia was a matter for deep regret, not only for those who knew her personally but also to the many in whom she had first kindled an interest in Dante’s poem. Nor is it hard to see why she was so successful as a ‘missionary.’ She had herself a first-class brain, much skill in drama and poetry, a knowledge of the world, and in particular a strong religious sense: when, therefore, through her friend Charles Williams, she began her study of the Commedia, she at once recognized in Dante a poet who combined all these qualities in a degree unequalled before or since. Wishing others to share her own experience, she devoted herself to this task with an infectious enthusiasm, aided by her reputation and popularity as writer and lecturer. It is therefore entirely just that the torch which fell untimely from her hand should have been picked up by one whose interest in Dante had been aroused by M iss Sayers, who had been in touch with her work on the poem for some years, and who was expressly nominated by her as best qualified to finish the Paradiso, of which only twenty cantos had been translated. Her trust has been amply justified, and Dr. Barbara Reynolds, who had not only to finish the translation but also to provide the introduction and all the copious but necessary notes, can be congratulated on the result. Armed with this volume the reader, after a seven years’ wait in the Earthly Paradise, can resume his journey to the stars.” When Sayers’s Hell was first published, C. J. S. Sprigge, also for the TLS, wrote: “It is Dante the story-teller who has gripped her, and the story told in her fluid, racy, unanxious verse excites us. We press on to the final canto, eager above all to understand exactly how the narrator and his guide succeeded in escaping from the dangers and horrors into which they had ventured. ... The incidental personages and scenery of the Inferno were idealizations of fanaticisms, treasons and vengeances the like of which have been seen again in our age for which hellishness has ceased to seem far-fetched. ... M iss Sayers’s intense sympathy with medieval ways of thought and feeling invests her conversational diction with a good deal of charm.” Issued in paper, originally with added wrappers.

(Indian records series) [5], vi-lxiv, [4], 1-434 pp, [23] leaves of plates (part folded): ill.; facsims., folded maps, ports. Gemelli Careri (1651-1725) published his Giro del mondo in six volumes in Naples. The Italian text then went through eight editions within thirty years. His work was soon translated into English, French, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. The first English version appeared in Awnsham and John Churchill’s A Collection of Voyages and Travels (1704, and four subsequent editions). The title page of the first Italian edition reads: Giro del mondo del dottor D. Gio. Francesco Gemelli Careri. Parte terza; contenente le cose più ragguardevoli vedute nell’Indostan. In Napoli, nella Stamperia di Giuseppe Roselli. 1700. Sen notes that this Indian records series edition reprints the published English edition, which was compared with the Italian text and corrected by J. D. Ward, Principal of Aitchison College, Lahore. Sen writes: “All omissions and errors in the translation have been corrected in the notes without any specific indication in all cases. Synonyms of archaic words, where considered necessary, have also been supplied.” In Gemelli Careri’s first chapter, for example, in the account of a siege, the translation reads: “the Portugueses retiring into the Town, began in scorn to throw Cockle-shells, which the Mahometans abhor, into the Enemies Camp, ... .” The note points out that what was being thrown was actually ‘porcelletti,’ small pieces of pork, which

makes the action understandable as an insult to the enemy. The original translator presumably related ‘porcelletti’ to ‘porcellana,’ one meaning of which is a small shellfish, rather than to ‘porcellino,’ a little pig. LC,UTL

Goldscheider’s monograph includes a translation of Ghiberti’s autobiography, which was written about 1455, together with a letter and extracts from writings by and about Ghiberti, and Vasari’s life of Ghiberti. Ghiberti (1378-1455) was an Italian sculptor of the Florentine school. The Oxford Companion to Art tells us: “He was trained as a goldsmith, then worked as a painter. In 1401 he competed successfully (defeating Brunelleschi) for a commission, offered by the merchant guild, to make a pair of bronze doors for the Baptistery of Florence. The work on these took 23 years. In 1425 he was asked to make a second pair of doors for the same building, which occupied him until 1452. These two commissions lay at the focus of the civic and religious life of Florence; the fulfilment of them necessitated the formation of a large workshop in which most Florentine artists of the period received at least part of their training. ... He was also a writer and left a large incomplete manuscript under the title of Commentarii. Apart from a survey of ancient art based on Pliny and notes on the science of optics, this manuscript contains valuable records of Italian painters and sculptors of the trecento and also Ghiberti’s autobiography, perhaps the first ever penned by an artist.” (1970: 473-474) No full English translation of the Commentarii has yet been published, though partial translations have been made available in theses by Janice L. Hurd (1970), and Christie Knapp Fengler (1974), and in reproductions of a typescript from the Courtauld Institute (1948?). LC,UTL

The text is the first section of Leonardo’s Trattato della pittura, assembled from notes copied from original manuscripts of Leonardo now in the Vatican Library. Richter’s translation was originally published in the first volume of the second edition of The Literary Works of Leonardo da Vinci (Oxford University Press, 1939), and is here somewhat abbreviated. In his review for the Times Literary Supplement, John PopeHennessy comments: “In practice much of Leonardo’s text is only intelligible when it is set against the background of the fifteenth century. This is especially the case in what for the student of art history is the most practical and potentially the most valuable section of the book, that on the relation of sculpture to painting. ... In his insistence on the relative inferiority of sculpture, which ‘is lacking in the beauty of colour, and has to do without perspective of colour, without linear perspective, without the indistinctness of outlines of objects remote from the eye,’ he argues from the postulates of the De Pittura [of Alberti]; and his conclusion that sculpture in low relief is superior to sculpture in the round, because it

‘entails incomparably more mental effort ... and comes somewhat nearer to painting in greatness of invention, as it applies the laws of perspective,’ is one in which most fifteenthcentury Florentine artists would have concurred.” KSM ,KVU,USL

The six articles, essays, or lectures are: an article on democracy; a memorandum to Count de Vergennes, the French minister of foreign affairs, dated the spring of 1780; a memorandum concerning slavery, 1781; a history of the beginning, progress, and end of the paper money of the United States of America, 1782; observations on the bill regulating the navigation of merchant ships in Virginia, 1784; a letter to John Blair, president of the Constitutional Society, 1785.

Eugene Hoade O.F.M.; with a preface and notes by Fr. Bellarmino Bagatti O.F.M. Jerusalem: printed by Franciscan Press,

1949. (Publications of the Studium Biblicum Franciscanum; no. 8) [4], v-viii, 1-255, [1] pp., [16] leaves of plates: ill.; facsim., plan, ports. The editors note: “The book we present is not the customary travelogue, even if spiced with lively incidents, written by a fast travelling pilgrim, but a book written by one who frequented the Orient for many years. He dwelt there as a merchant and as a Friar and so became acquainted with many things which he has happily included in this book.” Suriano (1450-after 1529) was a Venetian from a noble mercantile family. By the age of 12 he had begun life on his uncle’s merchant ship trading along the Mediterranean coasts. At the age of 25 he decided to become a Franciscan. He made his novitiate in Umbria, the cradle of the Franciscan order. Fr. Suriano knew Arabic, and was in Beirut (where he helped to repatriate Christian slaves) and Jerusalem from 1481-84. After nine years back in Umbria, he returned to Palestine as Guardian in 1493. He remained in the Orient after his three year term, and in 1505 he was in Egypt. Still in Egypt, he was imprisoned by M amluks from 1510-12. Released, he undertook a second Guardianship in 1512; in 1514 he was appointed Papal Legate to the M aronites. The editors comment: “Suriano was a link in a long chain of Franciscan activity for the maintenance of good relations between East and West.” In 1515 he returned to Umbria, where he prepared his treatise “to satisfy the legitimate curiosity of his sister, Sister Sixta, and the other sisters of the Poor Clare Community of the monastery of S. Lucia in Foligno.” It was eventually published in Venice by Bindoni in 1524. Suriano’s own title for the book was Treatise on the Indulgences of the Holy Land (a pilgrimage to the Holy Land earned indulgences for the pilgrim). OCLC,UTL

[13] pp. First published by Gardano in Venice in 1597, the piece had already been performed in M odena, probably in 1594. It consists of fourteen musical sections, by Vecchi, to his own text, arranged in three acts preceded by a prologue. The commedia dell’arte story is presented in Tuscan, Venetian, Bergamasque, Bolognese, Spanish and pseudo-Hebrew, depending upon the situation and the characters. The action develops on two planes: that of the common people with their regional dialects, and that of the nobility. It ends with the wedding of the lovers Lucio and Isabella. The libretto owes more to the dialect poetry of Giulio Cesare Croce than to Petrarch, Tasso, or Guarini. Reproduced from a typescript; cover title. See also entry 3323. OCLC

The contribution of Amedeo Avogadro (17761856), “Essay on a manner of determining the relative masses of the elementary molecules of bodies and the proportions in which they enter into these compounds,” was first published (in French) in the Journal de Physique, LXXIII (1811). The preface to the Alembic Club reprint notes: “The papers here reprinted in chronological order serve to exhibit the historical development

of the idea of a connection existing between the number of particles in different gases and the volume they occupy.” Avogadro was one of the founders of physical chemistry. His famous hypothesis, contained in the essay translated here, states that equal volumes of all gases, when at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules. “Avogadro made it clear that the gas particles need not be individual atoms, but might consist of molecules, the term he introduced to describe combinations of atoms. No previous scientist had made this fundamental distinction between the atoms of a substance and its molecules.” QPB Science Encyclopedia (1999: 67) Issued in paper; reprinted 1961, 1969. ERI,OCLC

Cicely Veronica Wedgewood reviewed this new translation at length for the Times Literary Supplement, and writes: “The translation of such a work presents certain problems of language and Father Walker, who aims rather at accuracy than elegance, has given great thought to achieving in twentieth-century English the equivalent of M achiavelli’s lively and precise Renaissance Italian. The modern-colloquial style of translation has pitfalls. ... such phrases as ‘lady friend,’ ‘in the offing,’ ‘keen on’ bring out the flaccid quality of modern spoken English rather than the vitality of the original Italian. These are minor blemishes in an impressive and noble work of modern scholarship.” Wedgewood singles out for praise the comprehensive introduction, analytical summaries of the contents, full and well-planned indices, notes, and appendices on M achiavelli’s sources. Concerning M achiavelli himself, she writes: “He can certainly claim to have been the first exponent of utilitarian political theory. The doctrine of the greatest good of the greatest number appears by implication in his political writings and is formulated in almost those words in, of all his works, that ribald little comedy Mandragola. It is curious to reflect that the sage formula of Bentham and James M ill was first used to justify a seduction.” Reprinted in 1991. OCLC,USL,UTL

5048 TAGLIACOZZI, Gaspare [De curtorum chirurgia per insitionem (1597). Selections] The life and times of Gaspare Tagliacozzi, surgeon of Bologna, 1545-1599: with a documented study of the scientific and cultural life of Bologna in the sixteenth century. By Martha Teach Gnudi and Jerome Pierce Webster; preface by Arturo Castiglioni. New York: Herbert Reichner, 1950. [9], x-xxii, [3], 2-538, [6] pp., [41] leaves and [12] pp. of plates: ill.; facsims., geneal. table, map, ports. Gaspare Tagliacozzi was a pioneer of plastic and reconstructive surgery. He held the chair in surgery at Bologna from 1570, and in 1590 he also became reader in anatomy. When he died in 1599, only 53 years old, tributes in his honour from throughout Europe bore testimony to his fame as a surgeon. His many operations for the reconstruction of diseased or mutilated noses involved a technical skill surprising for the time. His technique made use of flaps of skin from the underside of the upper arm, in which the arm is immobilized close to the patient’s face so as to allow the attachment of the flap to its new position on the nose, a procedure still in use until quite recently. Tagliacozzi’s great merit was to have converted the rhinoplasty procedure from the level of an empirical operation (already in use at Catania in Sicily and Tropea in Calabria) to that of a scientific procedure, and to have written down the instructions for and details of the procedure in an essential illustrated text, his De curtorum chirurgia per insitionem, first published in 1597. Historians of medicine reading Tagliacozzi’s treatise are surprised by the precise ingenuity of his operating room procedures, for his meticulousness in the treatment of the necessary incisions, and for the development of a set of surgical instruments suited to the operations. In his book he wrote: “We bring back, refashion, and restore to wholeness the features which nature gave but chance destroyed, not that they may charm the eye but that they may be an advantage to the living soul, not as a mean artifice but as an alleviation of illness, not as becomes charlatans but as becomes good physicians and followers of the great Hippocrates. For although the original beauty of the face is indeed restored, yet this is only accidental, and the end for which the physician is working is that the features should fulfil their offices according to nature’s decree.” (Gnudi 1950: 331) One can only wonder at his skill, given the sanitary conditions of his time and the absence of effective antiseptics. This biography includes a translation by Virginia Burrell of the dedication to De curtorum chirurgia, and by Arthur Read of Tagliacozzi’s Book II, together with an English abstract of the book made by Dr. I. E. Drabkin. There are also many incidental translations, chiefly by Gnudi, of letters and documents. The first edition of De curtorum chirurgia was printed in Venice by the house of Bindoni, and a pirated Venice edition was printed in the same year by Roberto M eietti. W. R. LeFanu reviewed this study for the Times Literary Supplement, and noted: “[Gnudi and Webster] deal with every aspect of Tagliacozzi’s activity, with his ancestry and his

patrons, with his famous teachers Aranzio and Aldrovandi. They provide a technical bibliography of his writings, and trace him in the affairs of the medical corporations of Bologna and to the bedside of his patients. ... Was Tagliacozzi more than a brilliant operator who sought popularity by his spectacular methods? Dr. Gnudi and Dr. Webster provide all the material for assessing his achievement, and offer wise and learned comment upon it. ... It becomes clear that his restorative surgery was a logical outcome of the rational approach characteristic of Italian Renaissance thought, and of the liberty of experiment enjoyed at papal Bologna. This intellectual background was forgotten in wonder at his daring, and was not appreciated when plastic surgery came in again in the nineteenth century ... .” Printed in Italy in a numbered edition of 2100 copies (Fisher Library copy no. 744); some copies have the additional imprint: M ilano, U.

The introduction notes: “The Venexiana was first discovered and edited by Emilio Lovarini in 1928 after he had deciphered its text on folios 70-100 of a manuscript miscellany collected by Iacopo M orelli in 1780, now bearing the number Ital. IX, 288 (6072) in the Biblioteca M arciana at Venice. No other text of the play is known. Lovarini’s conjecture is that the play was written by Girolamo Fracastoro.” This tentative attribution is no longer accepted. The translator writes: “La Venexiana ... is one of the earliest character plays in world literature. In contrast to the great body of dramatic literature of the early sixteenth century in Europe, it is no longer under the spell of the three Aristotelian unities and of the classical prototypes; it is an original play, ... the realistic treatment of scenes and characters makes of it a rare document of Venetian life in this golden century, a record of fact rather than fancy, as the epigraph of the play avers: Non Fabula non Comedia ma vera Historia (not fable nor a comedy, but a true story).” NYP,OCLC,UTL

5113 GOZZI, Carlo [Il mostro turchino (1764)] The blue monster (Il mostro turchino): a fairy play in five acts. By Carlo Gozzi; translated with an introduction by Edward J. Dent. Cambridge: at the University Press, 1951. [4], v-xxii, [1], 2-71, [3] pp. Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806) was a Venetian aristocrat from a family that had fallen upon hard times. He was a conservative who opposed many of the ideas of the Enlightenment, and in particular, the theatrical reforms of Venice’s most famous dramatist, Carlo Goldoni. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “In response to a challenge from Goldoni, Gozzi set out to prove that the fickle Venetian theatre audience would desert Goldoni’s bourgeois realism for dramatized fairy tales presented in the style of commedia dell’arte. Working from a tale in Basile’s Pentameron, Gozzi presented his first fiaba (Theatrical fable or fantasy) in 1761 — L’amore delle tre melarance (The Love of Three Oranges). After its astounding public success, he prepared nine other fiabe for the theatre between 1761 and 1765.” (1979: 257-8) Of these, Dent’s version of Il mostro turchino is the first to have been translated directly from the Italian. Dent writes: “Zeloù, a mighty Djinn, having offended the Gods, has been transformed into a Blue M onster as a punishment, and he cannot regain his liberty until he meets a pair of truly faaithful lovers. He finds them in Taèr and Dardanè, but he is obliged to make them undergo painful trials as proof of their fidelity.” All, of course, ends happily. Issued in paper.

Joseph Haydn; libretto by Carlo Francesco Badini; analytical notes. Boston: Haydn Society, c1951. [6], 7-87, [1] pp., [8] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., music. In this version of the Orpheus story, Eurydice is returned to Hades after she allows Orpheus to see her. Orpheus is poisoned by the Bacchae, and he is carried away, and the Bacchae drowned, by a storm. This was Haydn’s last opera. It was not produced and recorded until 1951, after the Haydn Society was able to reconstruct the work from sources spread over Central Europe. The uncredited translation is copyrighted by the Society. This edition includes two essays by Helmut Wirth, “The operas of Joseph Haydn before ‘Orfeo,’” and “L’anima del filosofo (Orfeo ed Euridice): analytical notes.” The notes on the recording are by H.

Dutton & Co., 1951. [6], vii-xiv, [2], 1-624 pp. Colquhoun notes: “No translator of I Promessi Sposi can hope to reproduce the cadence, the subtlety, the terseness, of its original prose. Some of the irony and humour which comes from the particular connotation of a word or phrase is also lost. But as past English translations [by Charles Swan (1828), anonymous American and English translations of 1834, 1844, and 1845, and by Daniel J. Connor (1924)] have been so defective it may at least be said of this one that it gives a closer impression of the original than any before. ... I have put the

dialogue into a modified colloquial English, except where the literal translation of some word or phrase seemed to add crispness. This also points the contrast which there is in the Italian between the easy flow of the conversations and the varied styles, reflective, formal, descriptive, of the prose passages. The text is herewith given in full, based on the edition of Professors M . Barbi and F. Ghisalberti published by the Casa del M anzoni in 1942.” The critic Bernard Wall wrote a full page for the Times Literary Supplement on “The greatest Italian novel” on the occasion of the publication of Colquhoun’s translation, but has nothing to say about the translation itself other than to call it “new and original.” KSM ,LC,M ichigan

Gonin’s original illustrations had been commissioned by M anzoni in 1840, and some were included in the English translation of 1844. Boothroyd writes: “The translation appears to have been based on the first Italian edition of 1825, though some, but not all, of the alterations made by M anzoni in the 1840 edition have been incorporated. The translation has now been collated with the text of the Italian edition of 1840 and adjustments have been made where these seemed to me necessary.” The translator has not been identified. Concerning the illustrator Francesco Gonin (1808-1889), Boothroyd notes: “his chief claim to fame now rests on his illustrations for I Promessi Sposi, which were severely criticized at the time, but which have now ... come to be considered an integral part of the book they illustrate.” Ferris,NYP,OCLC

MARSILIUS, of Padua [Defensor pacis (1327)] Marsilius of Padua, the defender of peace. New York: Columbia University Press, 1951-56. (Records of civilization: sources and studies; no. 46) 2 v. ([9], x-xvi, [3], 4-342, [2]; [11], xii-xciv, [3], 4-450 pp.) This work consists of two parts. The first volume, Marsilius of Padua and Medieval Political Philosophy, by Alan Gewirth, was Gewirth’s thesis for Columbia University; the second volume, M arsilius’s Defensor pacis, is translated with an introduction by Gewirth. He writes: “In the final analysis, then, the M arsilian church-state is far more a state than a church. The coercive authority which is necessarily exercised in it in religious affairs is exercised almost exclusively over the priests. The area of religious indifference — to which no necessary coercion attaches — is far larger than the area of such coercion. In the absence of positive provision therefor by the people-legislator, complete religious freedom obtains: ‘individuals must be permitted to teach what they wish concerning the faith.’ M arsilius does not go so far as to say that such freedom is itself necessary, although his repeated insistence on the incompatibility of faith and coercion, and on the non-coerciveness of divine law, buttressed by quotations from the apostles and other saints, points in that direction. It is these considerations which make it legitimate to refer to M arsilius’ basic position as secularism. What M arsilius did by his exaltation of the people was to shift the whole cast of the traditional medieval church-state debate. Where that debate had been between two different groups or authorities in society, each representing a different set of values — regnum and sacerdotum, temporal power and spiritual power — M arsilius subsumed both of these under a universitas which was at once civilis and fidelis, secular and religious, state and church, and equally infallible in both spheres, so that it was a single all-inclusive locus and determiner of both spiritual and temporal values.” The translation eas reprinted by Harper & Row in 1967, and by Columbia University Press in 1991.

Scaino [1524-1612], a pedant and flatterer of the first degree, even for one who lived in an age and a country where the combination of these two qualities was commonly formidable, spreads himself to some 300 pages in his discussion of the organization, techniques and training required for the ball-game. He could hardly have been more thorough, discursive or pontifical.

London: W. Kimber, 1952. 400 pp.: ill. In his introduction, Professor Vincent notes: “Folk-lore specialists have long debated on the history of tales such as these, widely spaced over the world, yet without any obvious connexion. They agree that the European stories are of Oriental origin, and it is not difficult for any reader to recognise the fantastical Eastern flavour in tales that at the same time remind him of his own nursery. It is for this reason that Burton was, at any rate in one respect, so suitable a translator of the Pentamerone. Fresh from the translation of the Arabian Nights his style still kept the flourishes and hyperboles of the East. He frequently misunderstood the difficult Neapolitan words and phrases and his English is often most odd, but the reader will find that the stories flow on and that the curious style seems suited to the curious matter. In this edition the translation has been left as Burton wrote it. ... For the English reader there is a special pleasure in recognising such stories as The Babes in the Wood, Puss-in-Boots, or Cinderella, in their Neapolitan Dress. It is amusing to find that macaroni and ravioli form a substantial part of the banquet at which the slipper is fitted to Cinderella’s little foot, or that Puss-in-Boots pretends that his master is a great landowner in Rome, the Campagna, and Lombardy. But there is no need to search for adventitious reasons for recommending to the intelligent reader a book that so well speaks for itself, and which has been described by Benedetto Croce as in some respects ‘the most remarkable book of the Baroque period’.” LC,OCLC

Clark’s volume of essays on Rome was highly praised in 1952, and has remained in print into the 21 st century. The New Yorker commented that the essays: “gather up Rome and hold it before us, bristling and dense and dreamlike, with every scene drenched in the sound of fountains, of leaping and falling water.” Clark, who won the National Book Award in 1965 for The Oysters of Locmariaquer, was married to Robert Penn Warren. The interest of Rome and a Villa for this bibliography is in Clark’s essay on the Roman poet Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli (1791-1863), which includes eleven prose translations. Translations of Belli’s sonnets have since been published by Harold Norse (1960), Robert Garioch (1966, 1983), Anthony Burgess (1977), Miller Williams (1981), Allen Andrews (1984), William Neill (1998), and M ike Stocks (2007).

Combattimento spirituale was issued in an enlarged edition in 1599, and with a supplement in 1610; Path to Paradise was first published in 1610. Nicodemus (of M ount Athos) adjusted the text to the needs of his Orthodox readers, with notes and illustrations from the Bible and the Fathers of the Eastern Church.

Targioni Tozzetti lived from 1712 to 1783. A Florentine, he was awarded a doctorate from the University of Pisa for his dissertation on the use of plants in medicine. He returned to Florence, where he pursued a successful career as a naturalist, scientist, physician, bibliographer, local historian, and antiquary. He was Director of the Botanical Garden at Florence, Prefect of the M agliabechian Library, a member of the Accademia della Crusca, and official physician to the Grand Ducal Court. Goidànich writes: “The eight volumes ultimately recording his travels in Tuscany ... illumines the great figure of Targioni as a naturalist in the broadest sense of the word. In it Targioni revealed himself as a profound connoisseur, as well as of geological, mineralogical, geographical, meteorological, zoological, and agricultural questions as of botanical floristic problems.” He also wrote the first documented history of science in Tuscany under the M edici, with emphasis on Galileo, his disciples, and the Accademia del Cimento. His son Ottaviano and nephew Antonio were botanists, and his grandnephew Adolfo (1823-1902) was a distinguished entomologist, particularly interested in pest species. The “Life and works of Giovanni Targioni Tozzetti” was first published in the twelfth volume of the Studi e documenti of the Reale Accademia d’Italia (1943; Goidànich’s edition of the Alimurgia was published in the same year).

(chiefly folded); facsims., plans. Amico, noted on the title page of the Roman first edition of this work as ‘da Gallipoli’ [a coastal town on the Gulf of Taranto] arrived in Palestine in 1593, and the last notice of him dates to 1619, when he dedicated the second edition of his book to Cosimo II de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany. Bagatti writes: “Bernardine, on arriving in the Holy Land, decide to make drawings of all the Shrines with the object of supplying models to those who wished to reproduce them in Europe. For this he printed the plan, the elevation and other particulars according to scale in order to obtain relatively correct models. Having done his period of service he returned home with a fine bundle of drawings which he tried to give to the public. In Rome he found an intelligent collaborator, A. Tempesti [Antonio Tempesta, 1555-1630], who shaded the drawings and engraved them, and then he added some explanations, all which makes this volume. He had it printed in the Medici Press of Foreign Languages [Typographia Linguarum Externarum] ... The order of the subjects was as follows: Bethlehem, Holy Sepulchre, Tomb of the Virgin, the Ascension, the Cenacle, Churches on the Houses of Caiphas and Anna, St. John’s, St. James the Great, St. Anne’s, Solomon’s Temple (Dome of the Rock), Tomb of Rachel, view of modern Jerusalem, a drawing of the Tomb, Ancient Jerusalem, and the Tombs of the Kings.” For the second edition, published in Florence by Cecconcelli in 1620, the plates were engraved in a smaller form by Jacques Callot (1592-1635), who had been a student of Tempesta in Florence, and it is these plates which are reproduced in this reprint. Amico provided new chapters on the Via Crucis. All but three of the folded illustrations are included in the running pagination.

5303 BECCARIA, Cesare [Dei delitti e delle pene (1764)] An essay on crimes and punishments. By Cesare Beccaria-Bonesana; with commentary by M. D. Voltaire. Stanford, California: Academic Reprints, 1953. [5], viii-xiv, [1], 16-239, [2] pp. The utilitarian philosopher Jeremy Bentham wrote: “The greatest happiness of the greatest number is the foundation of morals and legislation.” He also attempted to work out scientifically and on a quantitative scale the values of pleasure and pain in moral motivation. We are all familiar with the idea of the greatest good for the greatest number, but few of us, perhaps, would be able to trace both that expression and the concept of a ‘hedonistic calculus’ back to the anonymous essay Dei delitti e delle pene, which appeared in Italy in 1764, when Bentham was sixteen. The author of that work, as he soon acknowledged, was the young M ilanese aristocrat, political writer and penal reformer Cesare Beccaria (1738-1794), who thought that men should examine their actions rationally from a single viewpoint: “la massima felicità divisa nel maggior numero.” He also speaks of a ‘geometric precision’ which must be applied to social problems. Beccaria had visited the prisons of M ilan to gather material for his study of criminal justice, and soon became the best known Italian reformer of his day. His book is still cited in the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1972 edition) as the most influential volume on the reform of criminal justice ever produced. The Britannica notes: “In a rational and systematic fashion he attacked the savage criminal procedures and penalties of his day. He denounced the use of torture and secret proceedings in the judicial process. He was the first modern writer to subject the death penalty to fundamental criticism. He argued for the proportioning of penalties to offences and argued that the certainty of penalties is more efficacious than severity. He asserted that the prevention of crime is of greater importance than its punishment.” Beccaria was invited to Paris in 1766 (the year that the sixth and definitive edition of his work appeared, and was placed on the Index) and then held the chair of public economy and commerce at the Palatine school in M ilan. His career from 1770 on was spent in government posts. A facsimile reprint of the second American edition of 1819, published in Philadelphia by Philip H. Nicklin. Calgary,OCLC

Far from being a cloistered scholar, oblivious of the world at large and its problems, Cajetan played an active and important role in many. As one of the Church’s greatest theologians, he wrote many works concerned with its immediate problems; as M aster General of a religious order [the Order of Preachers] which fulfilled an important function in the life of the Church, he directed its activities against the errors of his time, promoted ecclesiastical discipline and unity, and sent

Notwithstanding all this activity he found time to write no less than 157 works of philosophy, theology and exegesis.” Koren writes: “Cajetan’s well-known work ... contains the first and still unsurpassed systematization of the Aristotelian-Thomistic theory of analogy.” The second text is a brief response by Cajetan to two questions concerning the concept of being, raised in 1509 by a priest reader of De nominum analogia.

Rome: published by the Sezione Lombarda della Società Italiana di Microbiologia for the sixth International Congress of Microbiology, 1953. [9], ix-liii, [8], 2-33, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims. Cogrossi (1682-1769), was a physician trained at the University of Padua, where he taught from 1721 to 1733. He wrote widely on medicine. His publications include tracts on the use of quinine, and on the nature and treatment of contagious diseases such as scabies. In this work on oxen he proposes microscopic organisms as the agents of infection, and recommends isolation and disinfection as treatments. Belloni notes: “Cogrossi ... reminds his readers that the terms large and small are relative, mentions the microorganisms seen by Leeuwenhoek ... and predicts that increasingly minute living things will be discovered in the future when scholars can have available sharper microscopes than those in use in his time. Nothing prevents thinking that the cause of the plague among oxen can be identified in one of these microorganisms, in the same manner in which the cause of scabies was identified with the acarus [a mite].” Parallel title page in Italian.

Cheney, Professor of Medieval History in the University of Manchester, and W. H. Semple, Hulme Professor of Latin in the University of Manchester. London [etc.]: Thomas Nelson and Sons, 1953. (Medieval texts) [4], v-xliii, [2], 1-227, [3], 231-248 pp. When Lotario di Segni was elected pope in 1198 he was only 37 years old, and, though a Cardinal Deacon, had not yet been ordained priest. (His noble house produced nine popes between the twelfth and the eighteenth centuries.) Lotario had studied theology at Paris and Rome, and canon law at Bologna. He was considered one of the greatest canon lawyers of his time. As Pope Innocent III he sought to extend papal power and prestige. He maintained that since things of the spirit take preeminence over things of the body, and since the church rules the spirit and earthly monarchs rule the body, earthly monarchs must be in all things subject to the pope. The Columbia Encyclopedia states: “Innocent’s relations with England proceeded to [that] political end, but this was hastened by a purely ecclesiastical quarrel over the election of an archbishop of Canterbury. Innocent set aside two rival claimants and procured the election of Stephen Langton. King John, enraged by what he felt was unwarrantable interference by the pope and at the obduracy of the clergy in opposing the demands of the king, persecuted the church. As a result the pope laid England under the interdict, excommunicated John (1209), and even considered deposing him. The people and the barons supported the church, and John had to submit; he received England and Ireland in fief from the pope, promising annual tribute to the Holy See. Subsequently, the pope stood by John after the barons coerced him into granting the M agna Carta, for Innocent

declared it null as a forcibly exacted promise and also as a vassal’s promise made without his overlord’s knowledge.” This papal tampering in the internal affairs of a sovereign state was to have significant consequences later in English history: at the time of the Henrician Reformation in the early sixteenth century this case was cited by the king’s men of law as evidence of unwarranted papal interference in English affairs and helped to bolster the popular case for casting off Rome.

The Questions were written very early in St, Thomas’ career, very likely between 1255 and 1259, so that they are not always his last word on the subject; what he says in them should be studied along with his statements in his later works. Yet, because he never again took up the problems in such detail, they are of exceptional value in giving us an appreciation of his views on these topics.” See also 1963, 1986. KSM ,OCLC,UTL

For the Times Literary Supplement, John Wayneflete Carter comments: “Mr. Benson has not only translated Arrighi’s agreeably unpretentious manual and provided a dozen pages of technical notes on points of penmanship raised by the text: he has followed the master’s own design, writing out his whole text (for reproduction, along with the Italian, by offset lithography) in a very firm and accomplished italic, with each page so contrived that its contour matches that of the original. This is virtuosity with a practical purpose, and the result is a stylish and ingenious as well as a useful book.” Another issue of this edition has the imprint of the Chiswick Book Shop in New York City.

5403 BEMBO, Pietro

[Gli asolani (1505)] Pietro Bembo’s Gli Asolani. Translated by Rudolf B. Gottfried. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 1954. (Indiana University publications. Humanities series; no. 31) [6], vii-xx, 1-200 pp. Pietro Bembo (1470-1547) was born in Venice to a patrician family. When his father Bernardo was sent as an envoy to Florence in 1474 he took Pietro with him, and the boy remained in Florence for much of the next five years. Ernest Hatch Wilkins wrote that: “the boy thus grew naturally into such a knowledge of the Florentine speech and such a sense of familiarity with Laurentian Florence as he could hardly have acquired otherwise. He made the most of a thorough classical education; and throughout his manhood he was able to write with perfect freedom in Latin, and with competence in Greek.” (1954: 180-181) As a young man Pietro also followed his father to Rome (1487), and to Ferrara (1498-1500). A poet, humanist, and courtier, Bembo followed a later career as a churchman: he was Papal Secretary to Leo IX from 1513 to 1521, was made Cardinal in 1539, and was said to be a candidate for the papacy at the time of his death. His life as a humanist was succinctly encapsulated for the Penguin Companion to European Literature by C. Fahy: “Though his works do not reach the first rank, he is an important figure in Italian literary history. A child of the Italian humanist movement, he was nevertheless convinced of the equality of the vernacular to Latin as a literary language, and the most important part of his literary activities consists of Italian works in which, by precept and example, he set out to raise the vernacular to the level of classical tongues by correcting the disorganized linguistic and stylistic eclecticism of 15th -century Italian literature. His standards for Italian were identical with those he advocated for Latin — a rigorous imitation of the great writers of the past — in the case of Italian, Dante, and more especially Petrarch and Boccaccio.” (1969: 9899) Paolo Cherchi writes: “Bembo’s most important works are Gli Asolani, the Prose [della volgar lingua], and the Rime. The first, probably composed between 1497 and 1502, and revised in 1503 and 1504, consists of three dialogues held among three noblemen and three noble ladies who meet in the villa of Caterina Cornaro [the former queen of Cyprus] at Asolo [in the mountain country north of Venice]. The first gentleman maintains that love is the source of all evil; the second sees in love the origins of all joys; and the third asserts that love is the source of all goodness when it is turned to God who shines in earthly beauty. The third dialogue contains the main thesis of the book: an exaltation of Platonic love along the lines indicated by Ficino and present, in one way or another, in the whole of humanistic thought. Bembo’s systematization, however, was extremely infuential upon writers such as Ariosto, Castiglione, and Tasso.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature 1979: 45) Gli Asolani was dedicated to Bembo’s great love Lucrezia Borgia (see Borgia, 1985). Bembo is also important as the collaborator with the publisher Aldus Manutius on editions of Petrarch’s lyrics (1501) and Dante’s Commedia (1502). Also issued in paper OCLC,UTL,Western

Among his closest friends were the philosopher M arsilio Ficino and the poet Angelo Poliziano. As a physician of certain religious houses he was intimately acquainted with Savonarola.” In 1487 his library included 169 ms. titles, of which about 70 were medical works.

John Ciardi (1916-1986) was an American poet, teacher, and critic. He is perhaps best known for his critical work How Does a Poem Mean? (1959), and for his translation of the Commedia (Inferno 1954, Purgatorio 1961, Paradiso 1970) into partly rhymed tercets in what he terms “something like idiomatic English.” He explains: “I have foregone the use of Dante’s triple rhyme because it seemed clear that one rendering into English might save the rhyme or save the tone of the language, but not both. It requires approximately 1500 triple rhymes to render the Inferno and even granted that many of these combinations can be used and re-used, English has no such resources of rhyme. Inevitably the language must be inverted, distorted, padded, and made unspeakable in order to force the line to come out on that third all-consuming rhyme. In Italian, where it is only a slight exaggeration to say that everything rhymes with everything else or a variant form of it, the rhyme is no problem: in English it is disaster.” Archibald M acLeish found Ciardi’s Inferno to be: “a text with the clarity and sobriety of a first-rate prose translation which at the same time suggests in powerful and unmistakable ways the run and rhythm of the great original.” LC,M ichigan,UTL

own particular form and trajectory. Dante himself seemed to feel that it was in a sense a work apart, for he wrote a special dedicatory letter to his patron Can Grande della Scala explaining the nature of the work, its goal and purpose, and taking the occasion to point out the four meanings — literal, allegorical, moral and analogical — that the text may bear. In this letter he speaks of the Comedy as a whole as well as of the Paradise in particular, but it is significant, I think, of his own attitude toward this climactic division that he chooses it as the strategic place for his comments. We have no such dedicatory letters for the Inferno or the Purgatory.” Issued in paper. Laurier,OCLC

M orris Bishop. For the earlier poets represented in his anthology he has wisely drawn on Rossetti wherever possible (surely one of our finest translators), except for Cavalcanti, who is left to M r. Pound, and to M r. G. S. Fraser, whoc supplies some accomplished renderings. Of other younger English writers, the best translations come from M r.

Edwin M organ, who skilfully turns some traditional Tuscan folk-songs into Scots. This accounts for just over forty versions — or less than one-third of the total. It is with the remainder that the trouble starts. ... Professor Lind himself, no doubt driven by editorial necessities, has undertaken rather more poems then anyone else — unhappily, since he lacks both a poet’s touch and, it seems, a firm grasp of literary Italian. ... Lyric Poetry of the Italian Renaissance is, however, to be welcomed in that it makes easily accessible a wide range of fine poetry now too little read. Perhaps it will inspire someone else to produce a better anthology, one that is reinforced by good critical judgments on periods and individual authors, and is guided in its choice of poems less by the Oxford Book of Italian Verse and more by an alert, lively taste.” The second printing of this anthology (1964) is in a slightly smaller overall format, though the text block dimensions remain the same.

The translator is bold to accuse M achiavelli of some ‘rank bad grammar’ and ‘three very bad plays.’ But he himself affects such preciosity as ‘the two US, A and SR,’ ‘the A and Q staff,’ and ‘TEWTS.’ His knowledge of Italian is not infallible, and his own English is occasionally too clever for easy comprehension.” M ack Smith also points out that: “We are informed at the outset that The Ruler is ‘undoubtedly “required” reading for every politician.’ In this belief, the book is artificially reconstructed to illuminate present-day politics, not those of Renaissance Italy; and here is the root of the trouble. If a present-day politician is not M achiavellian already by instinct or experience, he will hardly become so by book-learning.” LC,USL,UTL

CarneRoss commented: “Of Petrarch, it is hardly too much to say that there exists no single satisfactory English version of any single poem, a fact which places Professor Thomas Bergin ... at a severe initial disadvantage. Petrarch gives the translator nothing to catch hold of: at his finest, diction and imagery are reduced to a condition of extreme, almost abstract, purity. The result is that poems which in the original are among the wonders of literature are diminished, in almost any conceivable translation, into mere conventional prettiness. Faced with so impossible an undertaking, Professor Bergin’s team do neither better nor worse than might be expected.” LC,M ichigan,UKM

5501 ALBERTI, Leon Battista [De re aedificatoria (1485)] Ten books on architecture. By Leone Battista Alberti; translated into Italian by Cosimo Bartoli and into English by James Leoni, Venetian architect; edited by Joseph Rykwert. London: Alec Tiranti, 1955. ([Tiranti library; v. 5]) [4], v-xx, [1], 2-256, [68] pp.: ill. The publisher states that this edition includes a complete [reduced facsimile] reprint of the third English edition of 1755, together with the life of Alberti by Raphael du Fresne from the 1739 edition. The first edition of Leoni’s translation appeared in 1726. Sir James M aude Richards, for the Times Literary Supplement, writes: “The notes for the present edition ... provide an intelligent and scholarly commentary on the text, which is badly needed since the eighteenth-century setting and orthography make it by no means easy to read, and Leoni’s somewhat stilted and conscientiously Augustan prose style makes it even more difficult to distil the full Albertian essence from his version. The commentary, indeed, could usefully have been fuller. ... Alberti, as Mr. Rykwert points out in his preface, helped to steer architectural thought away from a backwardlooking admiration of ancient Greece towards an understanding of the more dynamic achievements of ancient Rome, and thus towards following up the developments latent in the latter. The stimulus this gave to architecture is reflected in the enthusiastic response the Ten Books on Architecture evoked in Alberti’s contemporaries and in several generations that followed.” Reprinted (on heavier paper stock) in 1965.

5505 BAPTISTA, Mantuanus [Georgius (1507)] The life of St. George. By Alexander Barclay; edited by William Nelson.

Original series; no. 230) [10], ix-xxvi, 1-120, [1], 2-7, [1] pp., [1] leaf of plates: facsim. Nelson writes: “In 1515, When Barclay’s St. George was completed, M antuan was one of the most popular humanist writers in Europe. Though a competent latinist, he was certainly not one of that breed of scholars whose paganism and indecency gave the ‘theologians’ their most cogent argument against the new learning. His topics were primarily religious and moral, such as befitted a prominent Carmelite (he became general of the order in 1513). ... M any of his poems were used as schoolbooks; his pastoral poems, probably the most popular of his works, continued to be read by grammar students for more than a century. Barclay, like most of his contemporaries, had high regard for M antuan’s writings; he translated not only the Georgius but several of the eclogues as well ... .” The Georgius was reprinted eight times by 1513. Barclay’s Life of St. George exists in an apparently unique copy in the library of Trinity College, Cambridge. Nelson writes that this imperfect copy (it has been vandalized for its woodcuts) “contains not only Barclay’s translation, but also the Latin text of Spagnuoli’s Georgius, which is printed in small type in the margins.” Alexander Barclay (1475?-1552), himself a priest, is recorded as being from the diocese of Lincoln. He is said to have been born a lowland Scot. He had a good knowledge of European literature, and had probably spent some time abroad. He wrote a satirical poem, The Ship of Fools, in part a translation from Sebastian Brant, and translated the Mirrour of Good Manners from the Italian of Dominicus M ancinus (fl. 1478-1491); see 1967. He also published a

There can be no doubt of the authenticity of the De Reductione, for in it we readily recognize

a compact crystallization of Bonaventurian thought. Though the Seraphic Doctor draws copiously on other authors, pagan and Christian, every line of the treatise breathes the spirit of Bonaventure, more so, perhaps, than any other of his works.” OCLC,PIM S

[4], v-xv, [3], 3-395, [1] pp.: diagrams. D. S. Carne-Ross reviewed Bickersteth’s translation for the Times Literary Supplement, and wrote: “[He] has courageously faced the challenge of terza rima, a measure that no English poet of any stature, except Shelley, has ever sustained for long. His Paradiso, published some years ago [1932] and now revised, is the most satisfactory of the three canticles. At its best it moves with a genuine dignity, and it can be read at length — perhaps the greatest service a translator can render. His versions of the Inferno and Purgatorio are unfortunately less free of the awkward inversions and strained rhymes into which terza rima so easily leads the translator. ... But if Professor Bickersteth has not a great deal to offer the lover of poetry as such, this is a translation that the student of Dante will want to consult.” Bickersteth worked on his translation, off and on, for forty years. He writes: “The present translation, then, is not addressed to those who regard verse-translation of great poetry as useless, because impossible; nor to those who think that its benefit, if any, rests with the translator and that it is therefore not worth publishing; but to those who, judging it by Goethe’s criterion, allow it the full dignity of an art not less exacting in its requirements than original composition. How exacting these are, the translator knows better than his severest critic, nor, in the case of Dante’s Comedy, will the expenditure of infinite pains enable him (even if otherwise qualified) to meet them. He needs

5520 DANTE ALIGHIERI [Divina commedia (1307-21)] The divine comedy of Dante Alighieri. The prose translation by Charles Eliot Norton; with illustrations from designs by Botticelli. New York: Bruce Rogers & the Press of A. Colish, 1955. [10], 11-364, [2] pp.: ill. Published in an edition of 300 copies. The Fisher Library copy is number 196. The prospectus for the edition states: “Of all the great projects that Bruce Rogers, the world’s foremost book designer, has worked on in an extraordinarily rich career of some sixty years, none has been longer in coming to ripe fruition than the noble folio edition of Dante’s Divine Comedy which has just been completed. The idea to do a great edition of Dante first came to BR almost fifty years ago when he first saw Lippmann’s reproductions of the superb silverpoint drawings which Sandro Botticelli had created for the Divina Commedia. Studying with great zest the plates of the Botticelli drawings, it occurred to BR that a magnificent Renaissance book could be created around them. Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, then at the end of his long career, was then the fountainhead of Dante Studies and had translated the Divine Comedy in prose in 1891-2, his revised and richer version appearing under the Houghton M ifflin imprint in 1902. Prof. Norton had already taken a great interest in Bruce Rogers, once more illustrating Norton’s genius for personal influence. His wise encouragement spurred BR on and using Norton’s translation, a few pages were actually set in M ontaigne type. Unhappily, Prof. Charles Eliot Norton died in 1908 and the great project had to be abandoned, M r. Rogers leaving the Riverside Press in 1912. ... Now, nearly a half century after the idea was born, the Dante of Bruce Rogers is a splendid reality. ... From the beginning, it was Bruce Rogers’ intention to use Botticelli’s own drawings and to marry them to the text. Using the techniques which he applied with outstanding success in his edition if Geofroy Tory’s Champfleury, BR made 37 line drawings over prints from the facsimiles in Lippmann’s great book in the sizes of the original drawings. The faint lines in some of the drawings were strengthened and Dante’s robe was rendered in black throughout, as in one of the drawings. Line engravings have been made and the results are as close as humanly possible to the original silverpoint drawings. ... The text is set in 18 point Centaur— the celebrated Roman type designed by BR.” Unhappily, the engravings are by far inferior to facsimiles of the original silverpoints. Concerning his prose translation, Norton wrote: “Every fresh attempt at translating the Divine Comedy affords proof of Dante’s assertion that ‘nothing harmonized by a musical bond can be transmuted from its own speech without losing all its sweetness and harmony.’ The coalescence of the music and the meaning of the verse, in the perfection of which the life of

poetry consists, cannot be transferred from one tongue to another. A new harmony may be substituted, but the difference is fatal. The translation may have a life of its own, but it is not the life of the original. ... To preserve in its integrity what may thus be transferred, prose is a better medium than verse; and it was because of my conviction to this effect that I undertook this translation, in which my aim has been to follow the words of Dante as closely as our English idiom allows, and thus to give the reader the substance of the poem as little altered as possible.” LC,RBSC

White, a writer with a broad knowledge of medieval Europe, and of falconry. He believes that the text was composed between 1244 and 1250, and writes: “Considering the date ... when English naturalists were still depending upon the old wives’ tales of the Bestiaries, it is astonishingly scientific. Frederick would have nothing to do with the nonsense about barnacle geese growing on trees, and his illustrations — particularly those of the Vatican codex — are of real birds which can be distinguished from one another, not of stylized winged beings as in the Bestiaries.” White also comments: “But what made and still makes him one of the wonders of the world was that he was the first great field naturalist since Aristotle who insisted on looking at the animals themselves, instead of reading books about them. In this, he was 300 years before his time. Until the days of Sir Thomas Browne there was not to be another zoologist who went in for examination and experiment as he did.” This translation was first published by Stanford University Press and Oxford University Press in 1943.

5532 Medieval trade in the Mediterranean world: illustrative documents. Translated with introductions and notes by Robert S. Lopez and Irving W. Raymond. New York; London: Columbia University Press, 1955. (Records of civilization. Sources and studies; no. 52) [7], viii-xi, [4], 4-458, [6] pp. This compilation of documents in translation is divided into five sections: “At the origins of the commercial revolution.” “M arkets, merchants, merchandise, and means of exchange during the commercial revolution,” “Commercial contracts and commercial investments,” “The route and the thorns along,” and “Tools and ideas.” The documents are translated from originals in medieval Latin and Greek, Italian and its dialects, Provençal, Catalan, Old French, and Arabic (secondary translations). The translators note: “Italian documents greatly outnumber those of other areas. This is as it should be. Italy north of the Tiber was so far ahead of the other nations in all fields of commercial activity that it would have been possible to give a panorama by using Genoese or Florentine documents exclusively. M oreover, a larger number of records from Italian cities has been preserved in the archives and published in scholarly editions. Materials from other regions have not been selected to show activities absent in northern and central Italy, but most frequently to indicate to what extent ‘commercialization’ affected these regions as the Commercial Revolution reached them. One of the purposes of our book is to bring home this fundamental point: all investigations of medieval commerce must have as their focus the leading towns of Italy, even as all research on the origins of the Industrial Revolution must center on England. So much has been said about the military and legal exploits of the Italians in the days of Rome and about their literary and artistic production during the Renaissance and after that the man in the street is led to forget another gift of that gifted nation to the modern world — the creation, in the later M iddle Ages, of the prototype of the modern commercial economy.” A second printing was published in 1961; reprinted in 1967, 1990, and 2001; also issued in paper.

5533 The Mongol mission: narratives and letters of the Franciscan missionaries in Mongolia and China in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. Translated by a Nun of Stanbrook Abbey; edited and with an introduction by Christopher Dawson. London; New York: Sheed and Ward, 1955. (The makers of Christendom) [4], v-xxxix, [5], 3-246 pp., [1] folded leaf of plates: ill.; geneal. tables, map (folded). This collection contains: History of the Mongols, by John of Plano Carpini (Giovanni di Pian del Carpine, Archbishop of Antivari, d. 1252); The Narrative of Brother Benedict the Pole (who travelled with John); The Journey of William of Rubruck (Ruysbroek, Willem van, 13th c.); and the letters of John of M onte Corvino (1247-after 1291), Brother Peregrine (d. 1323), and Andrew of Perugia (d. 1332) (the letters translated by Dawson). Dawson writes: “John of Plano Carpini’s book was by far the most widely known of all the early accounts of M ongols. This is due to the fact that it was incorporated by Vincent of Beauvais in his Speculum Historiale, which was one of the most popular encyclopaedic works of the M iddle Ages.” For a note on John, see entry 4103. The only contemporary record of William of Rubruck is that found in the Opus Majus of Roger Bacon, who had met William in Paris. Dawson writes: “... it is almost by accident that the work of one of the greatest of medieval travellers has survived, and it is only in our own time that the accuracy and historical importance of his work have been fully recognized.” Reissued in paper in 1980 in the Sheed and Ward series Spiritual masters.

muster symbols charged with emotional force: and though the premisses are mysteries held by faith, and not evident in themselves nor demonstrated from visible data nor postulated by practical necessity, as with the other sciences, the discourse is as severely logical as theirs. ... St. Thomas was more sparing of terms than of ideas. His repetitions are more monotonous in English than in Latin. Yet it is for the sake of accuracy, as much as of interest, that this translation is, as in the Philosophical Texts [see 1951], a compromise between a paraphrase and a word-for-word translation, and that terms have been inflected by their sense in parallel passages.” KSM ,LC,UTL

5608 BOTERO, Giovanni [Della ragion di stato (1589). Delle cause della grandezza e magnificenza delle città (1588)] The reason of state. Translated by P. J. And D. P. Waley; with an introduction by D. P. Waley, &, The greatness of cities. Translated by Robert Peterson, 1606. Giovanni Botero. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1956. (Rare masterpieces of philosophy and science) xv, 298 pp. Giovanni Botero (1544-1617) was born in Bene Vagienna in the principality of Piedmont. From the age of fifteen he was educated by the Jesuits. He taught philosophy and rhetoric at Jesuit colleges in France and Italy, but encountered political and doctrinal difficulties, and was not permitted to take his final vows. He left the order in 1580. At this time he became secretary to Carlo Borromeo, bishop of M ilan, cardinal, papal secretary of state, and proponent of Catholic Reform (he was canonized in 1610). Borromeo introduced him to the practical side of Church administration. Botero undertook diplomatic missions for Duke Carlo Emmanuele I of Savoy, and was later assistant to Borromeo’s nephew Federico, also a cardinal. His two most influential books, translated here, have their basis in Thomist thought, and took issue with M achiavelli. Christopher Dawson, in his review for the Times Literary Supplement, states that The Reason of State: “was intended as a kind of vade mecum for the Catholic politician, which would refute the immoral tenets of M achiavelli and the pessimism of Tacitus, as he explains in his preface. No doubt he was sincere enough in his intention and nothing could be more innocuous than the Reason of State as he saw it. State is government and the Reason of State is simply the science of government — ‘the knowledge of the means by which such a dominion may be founded, preserved, and extended.’ Nevertheless he is much nearer to M achiavelli than to the old tradition of Christian political philosophy, and the numerous school of Italian writers on ragion di Stato tended to be still more M achiavellian than he was. Botero was a man of letters and a publicist rather than a philosopher, and, though he was undoubtedly a learned man, he was more remarkable for the width of his interests than for the depth of his thought. It is this which makes his book so readable, for he ranges freely from China to M exico and illustrates his rather commonplace maxims of State by unusual examples. His interest in China is particularly remarkable. He is the first Western writer to speak of the trade from China to Europe via the Philippines and Mexico, and almost the first to mention the use of tea.” It was Botero’s contention that Population and industry, rather than natural resources and military conquest, are the foundations of political power. Dawson concludes: “It was [Botero’s] misfortune that he achieved fame by the political platitudes which made The Reason of State a Baroque best-seller, rather than by his original ideas about the physical factors that underlie political developments, which were disregarded and forgotten.” LC,OCLC

Translated and published by C. V. Malfatti. Barcelona: [s.n.], 1956. [8], v-xviii, [4], 3-164, [4] pp.: ill.; coats of arms, ports. M onsignor Commendone (1524-1584), later a cardinal, was able to give an objective account of the events that took place after the death of Edward VI until the wedding of Queen M ary to Philip, Prince of Spain. M alfatti writes: “The author had been entrusted by the Holy See with the heavy responsibility of making first a truthful report on the real situation in England and subsequently of using his best endeavours to further the reestablishment of the supreme authority of Rome in the whole country. In this, his first important mission abroad, he showed already the outstanding qualities which enabled him later on to take charge of the most delicate negotiations at various courts of Europe, where he distinguished himself as a most able diplomat and highmainded Statesman. His unbiased as well as human judgement on events of which he possessed evidently first hand information, is in open contrast with that of other contemporary authors, whose writings bear the unmistakable mark of religious fanaticism.” M alfatti’s compilation also includes an account of the rebellion of Thomas Wyatt (Latin and English), and two letters by Juan de Barahona, on the journey and marriage of Prince Philip, and news from England (Spanish and English).

They were not known to Browning, whose “old yellow book,” found in Florence and now held with other Browning papers in the library at Balliol (see entry 7093 for an edition of the Gest translation of 1925), gave an account of the same Roman murder case of 1698 which provided the source material for The Ring and the Book (1868-69). Betty Miller, writing in the Times Literary Supplement, comments: “Browning scholarship took a new, and decidedly negative, turn when scholars started drawing attention to sources whose only interest lay in the fact that Browning did not see them, did not know of them, did not make use of them when he was writing The Ring and the Book.” She does, however, concede that in the case of these Curious Annals: “the light thrown therein on certain aspects of life in seventeenth-century Italy is not without its own, compensatory charm.” Reprinted by University of Toronto Press in 1971.

Los Angeles; Chicago; New York: Gateway Editions, distributed by Henry Regnery Company, c1956. (A Gateway edition) [5], vi-xii, [5], 2-40 pp. Kirk notes: “Out of the bulk of the works of Count Giovanni Pico della M irandola, who challenged the doctors of the schools to dispute with him on nine hundred grave questions, the only production widely read nowadays is this brief discourse, ‘The Dignity of M an,’ delivered by him in 1486, when he was only twenty-four years old. The oration, which was his glove dashed down before authority, lives as the most succinct expression of the mind of the Renaissance. ... The man of the M iddle Ages was humble, conscious almost always of his fallen and sinful nature, feeling himself a miserable foul creature watched by an angry God. Through pride fell the angels. But Pico and his brother-humanists declared that man was only a little lower than the angels, a being capable of descending to unclean depths, indeed, but also having it within his power to become godlike.” This Regnery edition (and the compact edition, below) has been reprinted frequently, most recently in 1996.

Translated from the French translation (1771) by Pietro Denis of the Italian original. Babitz writes: “It is the first book dealing entirely with ornamentation; the first book to discuss in detail the raison d’être and application of ornaments, providing information found in no other books of the period; the only book written on that subject in Italy at a time when all Europe was copying the Italian model in performance. Oddly enough, it was never published in Italian but circulated widely in manuscript;

while thus circulating it had, according to its French translator, wide influence; it was probably seen by C. P. E. Bach and most certainly studied by Leopold M ozart, who appropriated entire sections from it for his Violinschule [1756] with the then customary lack of acknowledgement.” This article was also issued as a reprint from the journal, retaining the original pagination, by C. Fischer in New York, and by the M usic Educators National Conference in Chicago. For a reprint of the Babitz translation, see 1970; for another translation, see 1961. Tartini (1692-1770) was born in a small town on the Istrian peninsula, now part of Slovenia. He initially studied law (and fencing) at the University of Padua. He took up the violin in Assisi, where he fled to escape prosecution for the abduction of the woman that he had married (she was a favourite of a powerful Cardinal). In 1721 he was appointed M aestro di cappella at Il Santo in Padua. In 1726 he started a violin school which attracted students from all over Europe. From 1750 on he wrote and published treatises on the theory of harmony (see 2003), and acoustics. See also his instructional letter to the violinist and composer Maddalena Lombardini Sirmen (1967).

Dublin: Veritas, 1957. 64 pp. Saint Giuseppe Cafasso lived from 1811 to 1860. He was a teacher and social reformer in 19 th -century Turin who ministered to the dispossessed, marginalised, and criminal elements of a city in the throes of industrialization. He was beatified in 1925 and canonized in 1947. He is the patron saint of prison chaplains, captives, imprisoned people and prisoners. Cafasso and Don Bosco were neighbours (their home town, Castelnuovo d’Asti, is now Castelnuovo Don Bosco). Cafasso, three years the senior, guided Bosco towards teaching catechism, in particular to poor boys. Cafasso, O’Connell writes: “continued to help him and advise him until the time of his death, and Don Bosco, though only a few years younger than he, would do nothing without consulting him.” Reprinted by Tan Books in 1983 OCLC

Mass.]: The Ralph Waldo Emerson Memorial Association, 1957. [2], i-viii, 1-46 pp., [4] pp. of plates: facsims. This edition is reprinted from the Harvard Library Bulletin, XI, no.2, 3 (Spring, Autumn 1957), see below. In his Introduction, M athews writes: “Emerson’s version is of importance as a translation of the Vita Nuova made in America before any complete translation into English had been published either in America or in Europe, as a work of Emerson that was until recently unknown, as a further indication of the breadth of Emerson’s interests, and finally as a contribution to literature. His abiding awareness and appreciation of the work are shown by references in his journals and letters ranging over a period of nearly thirty years— from January 1839 to October 1867. At a time when very few Americans knew Italian [Emerson was selftaught] and were even slightly acquainted with, or had even heard of the Vita Nuova, Emerson read it with understanding, perceiving its inner aspects, its symbolism, and its revelation of Dante as a man full of humanity, who wrote from his heart, from first-hand experience, out of genuine inspiration, this ‘Bible of Love.’” Issued in paper; reissued, with extensive annotations, in 1960 by University of North Carolina Press.

5712 DE SANCTIS, Francesco [Saggi critici (1867). Selections] De Sanctis on Dante: essays. Edited and translated by Joseph Rossi and Alfred Galpin. Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press, 1957. [4], v-xxvii, [3], 3-164 pp. De Sanctis (1817-1883) was the founder of modern Italian literary criticism. The text of the Saggi critici, almost all of which were originally presented in lecture form, was established by the author during his lifetime. In their introduction, Rossi and Galpin point out that, concerning Dante, De Sanctis insisted: “the literary critic’s task is to separate, to ‘liberate’ the poet from the thinker, so that the esthetic judgment may not be contaminated with ideas which, valid in other contexts, are irrelevant to the understanding of a specific work of poetry. But his precept alone would not suffice to make him a great critic, if he had not demonstrated how to interpret Dante’s poetry with his penetrating analyses of specific episodes of the poem. Here he shows with unrivalled clarity how a certain idea, belief, or impression in the Poet’s mind is transformed into a sentiment, an image, a character or trait of character — and becomes poetry. It was especially for these analyses that Croce called De Sanctis’ criticism a ‘milestone’ in Dantean studies.” In his review for the Times Literary Supplement E. V. C. Plumptre notes: “As masterly examples of aesthetic analysis, in which the critic tries to retrace the various stages of artistic creation, [the essays] will always repay attention. But in distinguishing sharply between Dante as poet and Dante as thinker De Sanctis gave encouragement to that baneful use of the aesthetic judgment to pick out the ‘poetry’ from the ‘nonpoetry’ in the Commedia which necessitated a critical reaction to try to save the harmony of structure and poetry.” The translations in the text from the Commedia are from Norton’s prose translation, and from the Vita nuova from Rossetti’s translation. *,LC

By Battista Fiera; the Latin text of 1515 reprinted with a translation, an introduction and notes by James Wardrop. London: Lion and Unicorn Press, 1957. [8], 9-50 pp.: port. Wardrop writes that: “it is possible to see, in De Iusticia pingenda as a whole, the elaborate parody of a situation common to the experience of Renaissance painters. The lay proveditor of bright ideas is a nuisance to the artist in every age. The age in which M antegna lived was beginning to run mad on allegory. At the turn of the fifteenth century the spirit of humanism, and something of its recondite imagery, had penetrated to the ducal courts on whose patronage the artist increasingly depended. Patrons assumed, and exercised, the right to dictate the subjects of their commissions and to specify the details.” Mantegna’s patron in Rome was Pope Innocent VIII, and the commission was to decorate Innocent’s private chapel in the Vatican Palace (the chapel was destroyed in 1780, to make way for the M useo Pio-Clementino).. Fiera (1469-1538) was a M antuan doctor and poet. He was the family physician of Baldassare Castiglione and the tutor to his children. Wardrop writes: “M oney and leisure enabled him

to indulge a passion for literature; to dabble in philosophy and theology ... and ... to frequent the society of artists. M antegna, Lorenzo Costa (who painted Fiera’s portrait), Francesco Bonsignore and Giulio Romano were his friends and the subjects of his epigrams. His intimacy with M antegna seems to have been especially close.” Guelph,LC,OCLC

5724 MANUCCI, Niccolao [Storia do Mogor (1705, 1715). Selections] Memoirs of the Mogul court. Niccolao Manucci; edited by Michael Edwardes. London: Folio Society, [1957]. [2], 3-180 pp., [8] leaves of plates: ill.; map (on lining papers), ports. Niccolao M anucci (1639-1717) spent the last sixty of his seventy-eight years in India. He travelled there as a young man in the service of a nobleman, Viscount Bellemont, who died on the road to Delhi, and it was at this point that M anucci’s varied Indian career began. Over the years he served in various armies as an artilleryman, practised as a quack doctor, returned to the profession of arms, back to medicine, then on to diplomacy as a representative of Portugal. In 1686, relatively safe in M adras, he became a political correspondent for the English governor Gyfford, and was eventually granted land and a house in the city. M anucci had his story written down by a number of amanuenses in Italian, French, and Portuguese. He sent the first three parts of his manuscript to France in 1702, through an official of the French East India Company. The Jesuit François Catrou used it as his main source for the history of the M oguls in India, published in 1705. Catrou also gained access to the later parts of M anucci’s manuscript, and in 1715 published a history of Aurangzeb (1618-1707), M ogul emperor of India. Over the years, M anucci was discredited on the basis of blunders which were in fact the irresponsible work of Catrou. This edition is “taken from William Irvine’s translation of the Storia do Mogor, ... published by John M urray in 1907,” and

Bibliography 1957 based on M anucci’s manuscript, and on another draft that he sent to Venice in 1706 when he became aware of Catrou’s travesty. Professor Stanley Lane-Poole, who reviewed the 1907 edition for the Times Literary Supplement, wrote: “Catrou’s idea was to write a work of literature, and in point of form his Histoire is much better than M anucci’s Storia. But in attaining polish he sacrificed truth without a scruple. The moment we turn to his original we find ourselves in the presence of a competent and truthful eye-witness of the events which he records ... .” Concerning Irvine’s translation, Lane-Poole wrote that he: “has triumphed over all obstacles, and has produced a sound, readable translation in good English, furnished with a multitude of notes and verifications and biographical references, which show that his reputation as one of the best living authorities on M ogul history is not exaggerated.” A brief note on this Folio Society edition, also in the Times Litarary Supplement, fifty years on, comments that Manucci’s account: “lacks those touches of humanity that make Pepys’s diary absorbing, or the faith that raises monastic chronicles to literature.” OCLC,UTL

5726 The merchant of Prato: Francesco di Marco Datini. by Iris Origo. London: Jonathan Cape, 1957. [6], 7-380, [2] pp., [4] leaves and [16] pp. of plates: ill. (part col.); facsims., ports. Francesco Datini (1335-1410) is the merchant to whom the city of Prato owed the foundation of its riches at the end of the M iddle Ages. In her introduction Iris Origo writes: “The story of the rise of his trading houses in Avignon, Prato, and Florence, in Pisa and Genoa, in Spain and M ajorca, is as remarkable as the success-story of a modern millionaire, and quite as fully recorded. His fellow-citizens, to this day, pride themselves on it and dwell above all on the charity which he bequeathed to the poor of Prato, not only his own fortune of 70,000 gold florins, but the very house in which he lived, and in it, his greatest gift to posterity, his papers. During his lifetime he himself collected every business document he received, telling the managers of all his branches to do the same, and in his will he left instructions for all these papers to be collected and preserved in his own house.” His directions were followed, but the collection

203 remained untouched in sacks under the stairs until 1870 — a cache of 500 ledgers and account-books, some 300 deeds of partnership, insurance policies, bills of lading, bills of exchange and cheques, and the letters. Origo writes: “some 140 thousand letters, of which eleven thousand belong to his private correspondence, and the rest, in 503 files, to the various aspects of his commercial activity. Thus has been preserved, in the very house of the man whose life-work it represented, an invaluable, and indeed, in its fullness and homogeneity, a unique record of medieval trade.” Origo’s biography draws on this remarkable collection, and particularly on the letters between Datini and his wife, his friends, his partners, and fattori. Religion and trade were the only things of any importance to Datini and the merchants; their goals were profit in this world or in the next. In the Sunday Times, Raymond M ortimer wrote that Iris Origo was: “The best writer in English about things Italian. She combines patient scholarship with distinction of style and understanding of the human heart. ... I press the book upon everyone interested in medieval life. As a picture of the daily round in Tuscany before the dawn of the Renaissance it is a complement to the Decameron.” Reprinted by Cape as the sixteenth volume in the Bedford Historical Series in 1960, with the pagination [10], 11-380, [2] pp., [4] leaves and [16] pp. of plates.

became chief of administration of the Southern Army in 1861 and died the same year in the wreck of the ship Ercole between Palermo and Naples.” The first part of this abridged translation was published by the Folio Society in 1954. Of this extended version, Williams writes: “From a purely artistic point of view this vast narrative would bear a considerably closer pruning: for the second book, being largely concerned with the miserable history of the last days of the Venetian Republic and the diverse incidents of the vexed Napoleonic era in Italy, has by no means the compulsive power over the reader that the first book exercises. It is this first book, all the events of which take place in or near the ancient castle of Fratta in the Friuli, which has given this novel its lasting place in literature.” Michigan,UKM,UTL

5732 PORTA, Giambattista della [Magiae naturalis (1558)] Natural magick. By John Baptista Porta. New York: Basic Books, c1957. (The collector’s series in science, edited by Derek J. Price, The Smithsonian Institution) [5], vi-ix, [7], 409, [7] pp.: ill.; diagrams. port. A facsimile reproduction of the anonymous translation printed in London in 1658. The original title page reads, in part:

Natural Magick. By John Baptista Porta, a Neapolitane: in twenty books ... wherein are set forth all the riches and delights of the natural sciences. London, printed for Thomas Young, and Samuel Speed and are to be sold at the three Pigeons, and at the Angel in St. Paul’s Church-yard. 1658. Reprinted in 1959. Giambattista Della Porta (1535?-1615) was an amateur scientist from a patrician Neapolitan family who wrote voluminously, in Latin, on astronomy, refraction, distillation, fortification, rural economy, ciphers, mnemonics, physiognomy, chiromancy, pneumatology, and thaumaturgy. His entry in the Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Della Porta apparently had the benefit of an extensive private education in the sciences and the humanities. At an early age, he seems to have acquired a taste for magic and the occult as well as for science, and the closely related subjects occupied most of his lifetime. He considered his dramatic works primarily a pastime. Between 1558 and 1578, Della Porta was denounced before the Neapolitan Inquisition for his interest in magic, but his lack of interest in the theological or philosophical implications of science saw him through the experience with no ill effects. ... Della Porta’s scientific work is now of interest only to specialists in the history of science, but his plays have retained an importance that their author would never have imagined possible.” (1979: 170-171) In his preface to Natural Magick, Price writes: “Perhaps the greatest importance of this Natural Magick arises from its being the only printed record of an evanescent and little known organization that was the first scientific society of modern times ... . Giambattista della Porta ... brought this first group of men together, meeting periodically at his home in Naples and performing experiments and investigations there. Imitating the many literary clubs then flourishing in Italy, they called themselves the Otiosi (i.e., M en of Leisure) and made it a condition of membership that each man must have contributed a new discovery of fact in natural science. ... Natural Magick may seem a curious book, with its mixture of useful recipes, half-told half-truths, observations and experiments of the author and his band of Otiosi, and the quotations from classical writers, who are often challenged or cited by name when not quite believed. It has more significance than that. For the author, Natural M agick was the counterpart, the practical companion, of Natural History — magic because it was unencumbered by the artifices and instruments then becoming so widespread in the exact sciences of astronomy and mathematics, natural because it stood apart from and combatted the fancies and irrationality of sorcery, hated and feared by the Christian world.” *,NYP,UTL

A work by Dr. Agostino Bassi of Lodi, which besides containing many useful precepts for the better management of silk worms, also treats of the black and yellow diseases. The translation is of the first part of Bassi’s work, Theory. At the time of writing the muscardine disease was ravaging the silkworm industry of northern Italy and France.

(The Penguin classics; L77) [4], 5-131, [1] pp. Pine-Coffin provides an introduction, and “A note on books of courtesy in England” (pp. 105-131). Issued in paper. The Florentine Giovanni Della Casa (1503-1556) was a poet, a diplomat, and a churchman. As a student at Bologna he

Bibliography 1958 was one of a literary circle which was led by Pietro Bembo. Della Casa’s church and diplomatic careers began at Rome in 1532 under the protection of Alessandro Farnese. In 1544 he was made Archbishop of Benevento and papal nuncio to Venice. Farnese fell from power in 1551, and Della Casa returned to Venice and occupied himself with his writing. He was recalled to Rome in 1555 by Pope Paul IV, and made secretary of state to the Vatican, but died there before he could win his coveted cardinalship. His Rime and the work for which he is remembered, the Galateo, were published in 1558, two years after his death. Unlike Castiglione’s Cortier, the Galateo is realistically concerned with minor probelms of good manners in polite, rather than courtly, society. It is presented as the advice of an old, illiterate gentleman to a young student. In the Dictionary of Italian Literature, Wayne Rebhorn writes: “The Galateo is pragmatic and realistic, oriented toward the concrete realities of its own society, and aims to teach the individual how to manipulate his behavior so as to please all those around him. At the same time, it is not a defense of pure opportunism, for it is based on the assumption that an individual’s exterior equilibrium and charm will be a reflection of his interior moral harmony. Della Casa assumes the existence of a class-structured society and equated desirable behavior with upper-class norms, condemning the undesirable as common or plebeian and arguing instead for the ancient, aristocratic, and Aristotelian ideals of moderation (misura), tact, and discretion. It is informed by the conviction that good manners and civil conversation are essential for human beings if they are to endure the endless troubles and cares of their condition.” (1979: 167). ‘Galateo’ is now used as a term to describe any book of etiquette, while in Italian “sapere il Galateo” (“to know the Galateo”) is a phrase signifying that one is polite.

of the theatre series; no. 1) [6], v-ix, [1], 1-256, [4] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims.,plans. These translations grew out of Allardyce Nicoll’s seminars in theatre history at Yale in the years 1934-1936. Serlio’s text on the theatre is included in his book on perspective, part of Book II of his Architettura, published in 1545. Nicoll writes: “It proved so important that new editions and translations were soon called for. ... Within seventy-five years, besides many Italian editions, it has appeared in French, Dutch, Latin, German, Spanish, and English. ... Brief though it is, as the first published account of modern theatrical practice it exercised great influence on later stage activities. The plates, the first regularly published scene designs, were copied and repeated in many books on architecture which touched on the stage. ... Although many designers varied from the strict interpretation of the three types of scenes, yet the influence of Serlio’s interpretation of the Vitruvian Tragic, Comic, and Satyric types may be seen not only in Italy but also in the sketches of M ahelot and of Inigo Jones.” Concerning Nicola Sabbatini (ca. 1575-1654), M cDowell writes that he: “was a native Italian architect and engineer (ingegnero) and his book entitled Pratica di Fabricar Scene e Machine ne’Teatri (1638) is a standard work on stage practice in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century Italian theatre. He was not an inventor of the devices which he describes, nor was he a theorist in stage perspective. ... The Pratica is a manual or handbook of Italian stage practice in the form of directions to an architect whose assignment is to turn a hall of state into a theatre, with auditorium and stage, along with scenery, machines, lighting and other effects. The study takes the reader backstage and reveals the secrets of the elaborate effects required for shows at the Italian ducal courts.” This collection was in its third printing by 1966, and was most recently reprinted in 1997.

Certainly, the Historie is a work of great authority, written by a son who had at hand all his father’s papers and who had personally participated in the events of which it treats. Long ago, Washington Irving called it ‘the corner-stone of the history of the American continent.’ Even Henry Vignaud, the severest critic of the materials on which the so-called ‘Columbus Legend’ was based, conceded the Historie to be ‘the most important of our sources of information on the life of the discoverer of America.’ And the foremost modern American student of Columbus and his voyages, Samuel Eliot M orison, concurs in Vignaud’s weighty judgment, dismissing charges of excessive bias against Ferdinand with the common sense observation that his book ‘needs no more discounting than does any biography of a distinguished father by a devoted son.’” CRRS,LC,NYP

PIUS II, Pope [Commentarii rerum memorabilium (1584). Selections] Memoirs of a Renaissance Pope: the Commentaries of Pius II, an abridgement. Translated by Florence A Gragg; edited, with an introduction, by Leona C. Gabel; illustrations selected by Ruth Olitzky Rubinstein. New York: G. P. Putnam’s Sons, c1959. [4], 5-381, [1] pp., [16] pp. of plates: ill.; ports., map (on lining papers). Gragg’s full translation was first published in Smith College Studies in History from 1937 to 1957 (see entry 3736). R. F. Bennett reviewed this abridgement for the Times Literary Supplement, and wrote: “For many years the Commentaries were believed to be the work of one of Pius’s secretaries, not of the pope himself; and the standard edition of 1614 was severely expurgated by the omission of passages which could set either Pius or the Church in a bad light. Various fragments of these omitted passages were recovered during the nineteenth century, but it was not until Pastor found the original manuscript in the Vatican library that the double deception, as to author and content, was fully revealed.” Gragg’s translation is based on this manuscript, but Bennett comments on the lack of an edition of the Latin text. His judgment on Pius was: “real piety seems to gain the final victory in the heart of a man whose career had been made from almost nothing by a clever policy of well-timed coat-turnings.” Also issued in paper as “A Capricorn Book.” KSM ,LC

6003 BELLARMINO, Roberto Francesco Romolo, Saint [Works. Selections] The autobiography of St. Robert Bellarmine. Translated with an introduction by Gerald F. Giblin, S.J. Woodstock, Maryland: Woodstock College Press, 1960. [2], 3-30, [2] pp. In his introduction, Giblin writes: “In 1613 Robert Cardinal Bellarmine was in failing health. Father M utius Vitelleschi, S.J.,

the Italian Assistant, requested the venerable cardinal to write an account of the principal events of his life. Bellarmine was reluctant to do this. He replied to Father Eudaemon-Joannes, S.J., who had seconded Father Vitelleschi’s request, ‘I refuse to do any such thing. It is altogether indecorous to employ tongue and pen in one’s own praises. There are other reasons, too, against it’ Father Vitelleschi, however, insisted that an account of Bellarmine’s life would be beneficial to the Society. On this plea Bellarmine wrote, anno aetatis suae LXXI, an outline in Latin of his career. Bellarmine never intended the account for publication. It remained in the archives of the Society until the promoter of the cause of Bellarmine’s beatification asked for it in 1675. It was finally published at Louvain in 1753. ... The Autobiography is valuable because it reveals the mind of a saint. Critics who like Cardinal Passionei decide a priori how a saint should write about himself will be disappointed. Those who wish to meet face to face a man whose sanctity has been approved by the Church will find the reading of St. Robert a refreshing change from the exaggerations of over-pious hagiographers.” Issued in paper.

6004 BELLI, Giuseppe Gioacchino [Sonetti romaneschi (1886-89). Selections] The Roman sonnets of G. G. Belli. Translated by Harold Norse; preface by William Carlos Williams; introduction by Alberto Moravia. Highlands, NC: Jargon Books, 1960. (Jargon; 38) [74] pp.: ill. The Roman dialect poet Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli lived from 1791 to 1863. Hatch Wilkins writes of him: “He grew up amid hardships that served at least to make him familiar and sympathetic with the plebeian life of Rome. From time to time, after 1807, he held private secretaryships or minor offices in the Papal government. In 1827, however, becoming acquainted with Porta’s poems in the M ilanese dialect, he made up his mind to write of Roman life in the dialect of the common people of his city; and in the next twenty years he wrote more than two thousand humorous sonnets in that dialect. The humor ranges from bitter satire to deep compassion.” (1954: 419) The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “During the revolutionary upheavals in Rome in 1848-49, he personally witnessed attacks upon church property. Although his poetry often supplied ample justification for these attacks, Belli was terrified by this violent popular outburst, and he experienced a spiritual crisis. Renouncing his sonnets in dialect and burning many of them, he even became a censor of theatrical works after the revolutionary movements were suppressed and the control of the church was restored. Only with the posthumous publication of his uncensored Roman sonnets 1n 1886-89 did the literary public become fully aware of the breadth and scope of his talent. ... In the hundreds of sonnets Belli wrote, there is a remarkable vitality and zest for linguistic expression. Every facet of Roman life is depicted. The portrait of this priest-ridden and morally bankrupt society is always interesting, if never pretty.” (1979: 43) Issued in paper; illustration on title opening. Reprinted in

New York: Columbia University Press; London; Bombay; Karachi: Oxford University Press, 1960. [6], vii-xvii, [3], 3-149, [1] pp.: ill. This translation is based on the Italian edition edited by Vincenzo Pernicone and published by Laterza in 1937. Donno has made a prose translation of Boccaccio’s poem in loosely constructed ottava rima, but has retained the stanzaic form of the original. The Times Literary Supplement comments: “M r. Donno has found an acceptable mode of translation which sets the story at a distance without depriving it of actuality.” Hatch Wilkins summarises the story: “Affrico by chance sees a gathering of Diana and a troop of her nymphs, and falls in love with M ensola. He searches for her, despite his father’s sympathetic counsel; when he finds her she repulses him; his mother tries to comfort him; with the aid of Venus he finds M ensola again and wins her; she repents of her love and never returns; Affrico in his despair kills himself beside the stream that thereafter bears his name; and Diana, when M ensola’s fault is discovered, turns her into the stream that thereafter bears her name.” (1954: 106) Hatch Wilkins finds the Ninfale: “the best of Boccaccio’s poems, in the brook-like clarity of the narrative, in the simplicity and strength of its emotions, and in the fresh lyric quality of many of the octaves — a quality at times very close to that of folk poetry.” His one qualification is: “If it were not for the execrably bad taste of a very few stanzas, the Ninfale would be one of the most charming of all idylls.” CRRS,M ichigan,UTL

In a brief review for the Times Literary Supplement, Dr. Douglas M cKie wrote: “In the autumn of the year 1618 three comets appeared in the heavens in rapid succession, the last of the three being of unusual size and brilliance and remaining visible from November until January of the following year. The unlettered regarded these appearances with superstitious dread and foreboding; the learned were still uncertain whether comets were atmospheric or celestial phenomena; and the resulting debate and controversy between Galileo and the Jesuits provoked some of the most dramatic events associated with the beginnings of modern science and led ultimately to Galileo’s publication of his famous Dialogo of 1632, for which he was later imprisoned by the Inquisition.” RBSC,USL,UTL

Drake notes that this essay outraged Galileo’s contemporaries by challenging Aristotelian physics and by asserting that sunspots are actual spots on the surface of the sun or in its atmosphere. The Discorso was Galileo’s first published contribution to experimental physics. It is distinguished among the works of its time by its repeated recourse to experimental data in opposition to philosophical doctrines. LC,NYP,USL

agreed to employ M achiavelli to write a history of Florence. In M ay 1525 when M achiavelli had arrived in his manuscript at the death of Lorenzo the M agnificent, he went to Rome and presented the completed part of his work to Giulio de M edici who had by then become Pope Clement VII. The Pope now began to use M achiavelli’s talents in some minor political tasks into which M achiavelli threw himself with all his energy. There was no time for further work on the manuscript of the Florentine History before Machiavelli died rather suddenly in 1527. Thus the Florentine History remains M achiavelli’s last important literary work. ... By limiting himself to an account of the accepted facts of Florentine history, M achiavelli’s presentation contained what the Florentines of the sixteenth century expected to hear about their history. ... Although in form and method Machiavelli’s Florentine History remains traditional, the spirit with which he approached his task was that of a modern historian: to find in the past an explanation for the present.” Issued in paper; reissued by P.

at the University of Bologna. He succeeded his teacher Valsalva as demonstrator in anatomy, and in 1706 began publication of a series of works on anatomy, based on exact anatomical observation and reasoning, which made him known throughout Europe. In 1712 he moved to Padua, where he taught at the University for the 56 years from 1715 until his death. The De sedibus is his most celebrated work. It is a series of seventy letters on diseased organs and parts of the body. The letters are arranged in five books dealing with the morbid conditions of the body, from head to heels, based on the records of 646 dissections. Because M orgagni’s studies were so extensive, it became possible for him to predict or visualize internal conditions based on symptomatic observations. Morgagni’s work was also instrumental in debunking the ancient humoral theory of disease. De sedibus clearly identifies the pathologies of a number of diseases. Morgagni also demonstrated, through many autopsies, that cerebral lesion in stroke occurs on the opposite side from the resulting paralysis. M orgagni himself died of a stroke in 1771. Besides being recognized today as one of the leading figures in 18th -century medicine, he is considered the father of morbid anatomy, and a founder of modern anatomy and pathology. OCLC,UKM,UTL

6044 PASQUALIGO, Pietro [Petri Paschalici veneti oratoris ad Hemanuelum Lusitaniae regem oratio (1501). English and Latin] Ambassador from Venice: Pietro Pasqualigo in Lisbon, 1501. Donald Weinstein. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota Press, c1960. [12], 3-112, [6] pp.: facsims. Weinstein writes: “On August 20, 1501, Pietro Pasqualigo, ambassador extraordinary of the Republic of Venice, recited his formal Latin oration to King M anuel I of Portugal. Pasqualigo extolled the King for his achievements in navigating the coasts of Africa and funding the new route to the Indies, but he asked him now to turn his attention to the plight of Venice and help the Republic in her onerous war with the Turks.” The oration, The Address of Pietro Pasqualigo, Venetian Ambassador to Manuel, King of Portugal, is of particular interest as the first printed account of the Portuguese discovery of the ocean route to India. The struggle of Venice against the Turks (to which Portugal contributed little) continued past the loss of Cyprus and the countervailing naval victory of Lepanto (1571), to the formation of the Holy League and the raising of the Siege of Vienna (1683), and on to the eventual cession of Venice to Austria by Napoleon in 1797, by which time the Ottoman Empire, too, was in decline, if not yet the “sick man of Europe.” Weinstein notes: “Pasqualigo was no great Latinist, but his address does show the influence of his humanist education and provides us with an example of the ornate oratory of sixteenthcentury diplomacy.” Published in a limited edition of 750 copies, of which the University of Toronto Library copy is no. 475.

[Vita Sanctae Catherinae Senensis (1385-95)] The life of St. Catherine of Siena. By Blessed Raymond of Capua, Confessor to the saint; translated by George Lamb. London: Harvill Press, 1960. 384 pp., [6] leaves of plates: ill. Raymond delle Vigne, known as Raymond of Capua (13301399), entered the Dominican order while attending the University of Bologna. While a lector at Siena, he made the acquaintance of St. Catherine, serving as her spiritual director from 1376 and becoming her closest advisor. After Catherine’s death in 1380 he was elected master general of the Dominicans. He brought reforms to their houses and demanded strict adherence to the rules of St. Dominic. Today he is perhaps best known for his biography of Catherine, which he began to write in 1384, four years after her death. Father M artindale, writing for the Times Literary Supplement, doubts that Raymond, or anyone, could depict Catherine who, he writes: “was one of the most astonishing, indeed disconcerting, women in history. What can we think about a woman who dispensed with food and almost with sleep: who travelled from one blood-thirsty town to another, brought the papacy back to Rome after its seventy-four years’ ‘exile’ in Avignon, and yet spent half her time in ecstasy?” M artindale’s conclusion was that “we still need a fully ‘scientific’ life in English.” See also the U.S. edition, below.

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation 1961

6101 ALFIERI, Vittorio [Vita (1799-1803)] Memoirs. Vittorio Alfieri; the anonymous translation of 1810, revised by E. R. Vincent. London; New York; Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1961. (The Oxford library of Italian classics) [7], vi-xix, [2], 2-310, [2] pp. The Italian dramatist and poet Vittorio Alfieri (1749-1803) is best known for his nineteen tragedies. Giancarlo M aiorino notes: “All of these tragedies follow the classical organization of French tragedy, although the Alfierian theatre is characterized by a more rapid development and a minimal number of protagonists, Usually, the first and last acts are very short, and the dramatic action is largely resolved in the dialogues and frequent monologues that economize on the French use of informers and secondary figures. ... Although Alfieri’s masterpieces, Mirra and Saul, deal with ancient themes, they reflect projections of the artist’s fundamental struggle between tyranny and freedom.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature, 1979: 11). Sir Harold Acton, for the Times Literary Supplement, wrote: “Alfieri was Byronic before Byron. His impatient pride, his love for English liberty, ladies, and above all horses, made him the most English of Italian poets; and eventually he settled down to domesticity with the Countess of Albany, the Young Pretender’s widow who was known to a small circle as the Queen of England. If genius is an infinite capacity for taking pains he certainly possessed it. He began to take these pains all of a sudden at the age of thirty, after a turbulent youth without plan or purpose. The transition from aimlessness to a burning aim, the resolve to master the purest Italian when he was more familiar with French and his native Piedmontese dialect, not only to master but to write poetical tragedies in the Tuscan language, was encouraged by the sympathy of his semi-royal muse, who canalized his energy, supervised his literary career, and provided him with a congenial home in Florence.” OCLC,USL,UTL

6105 BONAVENTURE, Saint, Cardinal [Meditationes vitae Christi (late 13th c.).

Translated by Isa Ragusa; completed from the Latin and edited by Isa Ragusa and Rosalie B. Green. Princeton, New Jersey: Princeton University Press, 1961. (Princeton monographs in art and archaeology; 35. Index of Christian art) [6], vii-xxxvi, [2], 1-465, [5] pp.: ill.; facsims. The attribution of the text to St. Bonaventure is now questioned. The editors note: “M odern scholars agree, however, that the author must have been a Franciscan monk living in Tuscany during the second half of the thirteenth century.” The Meditationes circulated in hundreds of manuscripts, of which over 200 still exist. The editors write: “Fewer than twenty manuscripts with pictures have come down to us. Ms. ital. 115 is the earliest and most fully illustrated of these, as well as the one in which the pictures relate most closely to the text.” The editor of an Irish manuscript version wrote that the text is: “a life of Christ, a biography of the Blessed Virgin, the fifth gospel, the last of the apocrypha, one of the masterpieces of Franciscan literature, a summary of medieval spirituality, a religious handbook of contemplation, a manual of Christian iconography, one of the chief sources of the mystery plays.” Among the details not given in the Gospels, for instance, we learn that Christ preferred his mother’s cooking to angelic fare: “The angels said to Him, ‘Lord, you have fasted long. What do you wish us to prepare for you?.’ And He said, ‘Go to my beloved mother. If she has something at hand, let her send it, for I eat no food as gladly as hers’ (p. 127).” This translation

6107 CARDANO, Girolamo [Liber de ludo aleae (1663)] The book on games of chance “Liber de ludo aleae.” Gerolamo Cardano; translated by Sydney Henry Gould; foreword by Samuel S. Wilks; reprinted from Cardano: The Gambling Scholar by Oystein Ore (Princeton University Press, 1953). New York: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, c1961, 1953. [2], iii-v, [1], 1-57, [1] pp.: ill.; tables. Wilks writes: “Cardano wrote his Ludo aleae around 1520 while he was student rector at the University of Padua. This makes Cardano’s book outdate the Pascal-Fermat correspondence [concerning the Chevalier de M éré’s Problem of Points] by a little more than one hundred and thirty years. The manuscript remained out of sight until its publication in Latin in 1663, long after Cardano’s death in 1576 at the age of seventyfive. It had no direct influence on the development of the theory of probability, since the theory of probability at the time of its publication had reached a stage of sophistication exceeding that of Cardano’s work. However, from the point of view of the history of scientific thought, credit must be given to Cardano for a formulation of important ideas concerning probability well over a century before the Pascal-Fermat correspondence. ... Cardano was an inveterate gambler. As historians of mathematics have pointed out, his Ludo aleae is, in essence, a gambler’s manual. The odds worked out by Cardano for various events resulting from throwing dice seemed to be of secondary interest to him. He was not overly meticulous in his writing. He made errors in determining odds for certain events, some of which were corrected in later sections of the book, but left standing in the earlier sections! This carelessness is perhaps one of the main reasons why the historians have dismissed the Ludo aleae as being of little significance for the history of science.”

Sir Harold Acton reviewed the first five volumes in the then new Oxford Library of Italian Classics for the first 1962 issue of the Times Literary Supplement. Concerning Chipman’s Dante he wrote: “His translation of The Inferno into approximate terza rima is a true labour of love, though one cannot quite avoid the impression that it was a labour. ... M r. Chipman deserves our gratitude for not despairing. Since translations are intended for those who cannot read the original text his ambitious feat can be recommended for its flowing clarity and pleasant verve, and it is fitting that this fresh version of a cherished masterpiece should be the first of the Italian Classics series.” M ichigan,UKM,USL

Sir Harold Acton, in his review for the Times Literary Supplement, notes that Baldini: “remarks pertinently that some knowledge of the Venetian dialect is necessary for a full understanding of these perennially popular comedies. They are as light and gay as the Venetian glass mirrors of that age which they faithfully reflect, or as Pietro Longhi’s little paintings of the same period. ... Goldoni was a singularly tolerant and good-natured observer of human frailties: if he had any prejudice it was against the aristocracy whose affectations he invariably ridiculed.” M ichigan,USL,UTL

Lesca, were published in Florence in 1929. Sir Harold Acton, for the Times Literary Supplement, notes that as a patriotic Florentine M achiavelli could not forgive Dante’s verbal attacks on his native city, but continues: “Machiavelli himself had cause to complain of his compatriots, who had tortured and imprisoned him after many years of yeoman service. It was during his enforced retirement in poverty and seclusion that he composed his masterpieces, based on a conviction that men had been invariably bad ‘and ever ready to display their vicious nature.’ Whether censured or applauded, these became landmarks in the philosophy of history and political science. His Prince had an influence on most European statesmen in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries: Frederick the Great and Napoleon were among its adepts. His plays, though less famous, have never lacked distinguished admirers. ... M achiavelli’s personae are flesh and blood, as characteristically Florentine as their creator. ...

M ichelangelo, when at his best, wrote with violence (terribilità) and broke the rules of verse and even of grammar. This makes him obscure even to Italians and scholars. His hammer and chisel attack on words and the rough echoes of Dante, his feeling for night and din, put him quite outside the harmonious evocations of Petrarch fashionable in his time.

6201 ABBA, Giuseppe Cesare [Notarelle d’uno dei Mille (1880)] The diary of one of Garibaldi’s Thousand. Giuseppe Cesare Abba; translated with an introduction by E. R. Vincent. London; New York; Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1962. (The Oxford library of Italian classics) [8], vii-xxi, [2], 2-166, [2] pp.: ill. Abba (1838-1910) was born in Cairo M ontenotte, a small town inland from the Ligurian seaport of Savona. He was a veteran of the campaign of 1859, when Piedmont wrested control of Lombardy from Austria. He then joined Garibaldi as one of the Thousand in the 1860 campaign for the unification of Italy, and also saw action in 1866, the year that Italy gained control of the region of Venice. His best-known work, Notarelle d’uno dei Mille (also known as Da Quarto al Volturno) was published, with the help of Giosuè Carducci, by Zanichelli in 1880. Abba continued to add to his book, and the definitive edition only appeared in 1891. An Italian scholar has written of the Notarelle: “It is the only masterpiece to come from the admittedly rich Garibaldian literature: completely lacking any eulogistic tone, swift, vibrant, plastic, moving in the simplicity and depth of its touches, its perspectives, its colours.” Abba later followed a career as a teacher of Italian literature in Faenza and, from 1884 to the year of his death, in Brescia. Throughout his life he wrote poetry, fiction, and historical works, chiefly inspired by his experiences in the time of Garibaldi. In his writings for children he struggled to instill in the young people of Italy the vigorous patriotism that guided his life. Of his writings, only the Notarelle has been translated into English. There was a brief review of the translation in the Times Literary Supplement, which noted that the Diary: “deserves its reputation for for its carefully sustained spontaneity, its graphic clarity, and above all for its air of genuine heroism and unaffected modesty.” The reviewer also comments: “The translation by Professor Vincent, Head of the Department of Italian at Cambridge, captures the charm of Abba’s style; the introduction is a model of what an introduction should be.” KSM ,NYP,OCLC

6203a BELTRAMI, Giacomo Costantino [Works. Selections] A pilgrimage in America: leading to the discovery of the sources of the Mississippi and Bloody River; with a description of the whole course of the former, and of the Ohio. By J. C. Beltrami. Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1962. (Americana classics) [7], 2-545, [9] pp.: ill.; 1 folded map. Beltrami (1779-1855), a judge who had risen through the ranks of the Napoleonic system in the Veneto, was exiled from Venice in 1821 after being implicated in a plot against the Austrian-controlled government. In 1822 he sailed from Liverpool to Philadelphia. Once in the United States he made his way west, and travelled up the M innesota River with an Army expedition assigned to survey the border between the U.S. and Canada. He left the expedition in northeastern North Dakota, and travelled southeastward up the Red Lake River by canoe, with a succession of Indian guides, in search of the source of the M ississippi River. A stream he observed flowing southward from a lake he had christened Lake Julia was, he wrongly concluded, the source of the M ississippi. Beltrami then headed south to St. Louis, and eventually to New Orleans, where he wrote and published his account as La découverte des sources du Mississippi et de la rivière Sanglante (B. Levy, 1824). The first English edition was published in London by Hunt and Clarke in 1828 as A Pilgrimage in Europe and

America. Beltrami tells, in epistolary form, a very picaresque story which many found difficult to believe. Though he had been mistaken about the source of the Mississippi, in 1866 the M innesota state government named a county, containing the Red Lake which he explored in 1823, after him. He returned to Europe in 1826, and died at his estate at Filottrano in the province of Ancona. An Italian edition of his work was published only in 2005 (see entry 0507a). LC,UTL

The translator notes: “The prose style of the Seicento was purely Ciceronian, with long complex sentences, concessive clauses, unmarked parentheses, and no or completely disorganized punctuation–all the apparatus of the Schoolmen. Even in the hands of a great literary artist this style is difficult and confusing; in the case of Bottrigari, no literary genius, it becomes atrocious.” Giustiniani’s Discorso, dated at 1628 or shortly thereafter, and written in the form of a letter of instruction to a young nobleman, was first published in 1878 in Lucca.

Lindsay notes that in De la causa, principio et uno Bruno: “most systematically braces himself to demolish the Aristotelian positions once for all, in all their ramifications; and that ... means for him the breaking-down of a whole way of life and its substitution by another. The Expulsion of the Triumphant Beast [see 1964] which soon follows gives the full social programme which is to supplant the social and moral systems linked with Aristotelian logic and geocentric mechanism. But though he wants to bring about a totally new attitude to reality, he is constrained to use the only available tools and terms. M uch of his difficulty comes from this fact. He is employing terms based on division to express unity, terms based on abstract logic to express a new sense of dialectal conflict and resolution.” For the U.S. edition, see entry 6408.

Published in an edition of 750 copies. Cipriani (1822-1888) was born and died in Corsica. His memoirs are contained in six manuscript volumes, written chiefly from 1869 to 1876. They were edited for Zanichelli by Leonardo M ordini, more than 45 years after Cipriani’s death. Falbo writes: “Because of the general interest in trail journals of the West, it was Cipriani’s account of his second journey, from Westport, M issouri, to California in 1853, that prompted the undertaking of this translation. This narrative affords the unique experience of seeing the familiar trail westward through the eyes of an unforgettable individualist who is also a sophisticated foreigner. This more critical view of the West represents a not uncommon opinion of many Europeans who should have known better and who pictured western Americans as ‘raw and uncouth,’ with no sense of what was proper, fitting, and hierarchical. ... How cosmopolitan the West was in 1853 is best illustrated by Ciprini’s journey itself. His own wagon company aside, he seems to have traversed the whole country from St. Louis westward communicating almost exclusively in French, and once even in Italian. ... In San Francisco, all the persons closest to Cipriani spoke either French or Italian as their native tongues or were conversant in one of the two languages. It is hoped that this work suggests another dimension to the study of western history, hitherto largely ignored, that of ethnic contributions, of which this affords a first glimpse into the early Italian colony of California.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Plumptre reviewed the completed work for the Times Literary Supplement, and wrote: “Translations are notoriously mortal, and there are not a few rival English versions of the Commedia in print; but the introductions, notes, glossaries, and M r. Scott-Giles’s excellent diagrams give these three volumes of the Penguin series a special value.” Plumptre envisions some readers inspired to tackle the original poem, and surmises that: “At the end of the journey they will better realize why Mr. T.

6219 DANTE ALIGHIERI [Divina commedia (1307-21). Inferno] Inferno: Canticle I of the Divine comedy of Dante Alighieri. Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; revised and edited and with a new introduction by Bernard Stambler. 1st Collier Books ed. New York, N.Y.: Collier Books, 1962. [4], 5-445, [3] pp. Longfellow’s translation of the Commedia into blank verse terzine was first published in 1867. This edition includes Longfellow’s lengthy introduction, extensive notes, and a selection of “illustrations” by writers on Dante from the 14 th century on. Stambler writes: “Longfellow’s translation of the Commedia— the work of a poet-linguist-scholar— stands up as the best of the nineteenth-century translators of Dante into English; in many ways it has not been displaced by any of today’s goodly number of verse and prose translations. So, too, Longfellow’s apparatus, in Notes and Illustrations, remains richly useful today.” Stambler has “retouched, corrected, and amplified” Longfellow’s work in the light of advances in scholarship, and alterations in taste. He writes: “M y respect for Longfellow’s translation deepened as I compared it line by line with the original: no prose translation surpasses it in line-forline faithfulness. True, there are many inversions and what seem to be false accents, but in fact many of these are close imitations of Dante himself. ... In wrenching of word order, in suspension of phrase, in harshness of rhythm the strangeness of Longfellow is— uncannily often— an echo of what Italians call the terribilità of Dante.” Issued in paper; Collier Books AS378. *,Concordia College,Vanier

(The Oxford library of Italian classics) [4], v-xxiv, [1], 2-285, [3] pp. The editor notes: “In abridging Symonds’s translation, I have tried to retain everything in Gozzi’s M emoirs that has a strong narrative interest or that throws some light on the personality of the writer, or on the times in which he lived. The parts omitted are, in the main, whole chapters of relatively small interest, whose contents are summarized in connection passages ... . It has been a guiding principle, in view of the excellence of the translation by Symonds, not to meddle to much with his version in a mistaken attempt to modernize an idiom which in many ways conveys the flavour of the eighteenth-century text more successfully than a twentieth-century idiom could ever do. ... Those who are curious to find out the extent to which Symonds toned down Gozzi’s account of his love-affairs by omitting any allusion considered to be in bad taste by his Victorian readers, may compare the old version with the new, which faithfully records each palpitation and sigh.” As Acton points out in his introduction, Symonds dismissed the work as a mass of unsavoury trivialities, and only undertook the translation to earn his fee. The octogenarian Orlo Williams reviewed Horne’s revised translation for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented: “Nevertheless, it is a work of permanent interest, particularly for the light it throws on Venetian life in the time of Goldoni and on the working of the commedia dell’arte as practised in the company of Antonio Sacchi, of which Gozzi was the devoted patron for a quarter of a century and which was the last of its kind.” Williams continues: “No doubt Gozzi was a crabbed conservative, and was [with his own plays] attempting to stem a tide which inevitably swept his work aside, but as a witness to an historical period in decadent Venice during the latter part of the eighteenth century he remains invaluable.” *,KVU,M ichigan

The Italian half-title reads: I Canti di Giacomo Leopardi tradotti in versi inglesi con testo a fronte ed uno studio introduttivo. Whitfield notes: “It was M r. Gladstone, something over a hundred years ago, who clamorously brought Leopardi to the notice of the English-speaking world. He did so with admiring disapproval and with the full span of Victorian orotundity; and what he found to say remained canonical till very recent times. He found no page of Leopardi’s poetry without ‘abundant beauties’; but these were ‘scarred and blighted by emanations from the pit of his shoreless and bottomless despair.’ And that, of course, was very un-Victorian and reprehensible.” LC,USL,UTL

La Clizia is Machiavelli’s adaptation of a play by Plautus, Casina, itself taken by him from a now lost Greek source. Evans writes: “The ... translation does not attempt to be absolutely literal. Occasions must obviously arise, in a play as highly idiomatic as this one, where the translator must choose between rendering the spirit of the passage and its exact literal sense; in such cases I have invariably striven for the former effect.” Issued in paper.

6238 MICHELANGELO BUONARROTI [Correspondence. Selections] I, Michelangelo, sculptor: an autobiography through letters. Edited by Irving and Jean Stone; from the translation by Charles Speroni. Garden City, New York: Doubleday & Company, 1962. [13], 2-283, [1] pp., [16] pp. and [1] leaf of plates: ill.; facsim. The translations are based on the edition edited by Gaetano M ilanesi, Le lettere di Michelangelo Buonarroti, published in Florence in 1875 to celebrate the four-hundredth anniversary of M ichelangelo’s birth. The Stones’ selection also includes some

of M ichelangelo’s sonnets, in the Symonds translation. Irving Stone notes that the Italian mail system of M ichelangelo’s time was uncertain, and that many letters were lost, stolen, or destroyed. He writes: “When M ichelangelo had anything important to communicate, he wrote the same letter twice, to be dispatched at an interval of several days; and on occasion he sent off three versions of the same message. When he had received no reply for two or three months to an urgent demand for information, or an acknowledgement of money sent, he would sit down and again write the almost identical letter.” Stone has eliminated the duplications, but takes care that “everything of even the slightest interest or value has been preserved.” John Pope-Hennessy reviewed the English edition of this book [Collins, 1963] for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented: “The facts are a good deal less reassuring than this claim suggests. Omissions are nowhere indicated in the text, and comparatively few of the letters are printed complete. Sometimes the omissions are trivial, sometimes they are significant.” He also comments: “The letters are interspersed with a few of M ichelangelo’s poems in the versions of Symonds, and are linked together by narrative passages which, for inaccuracy and vulgarity of statement, could hardly be surpassed.” Pope-Hennessy concludes: “In the aggregate M ichelangelo’s correspondence may be disappointing, but it provides the clearest of all illustrations of the handicaps and hazards with which genius must contend. What matters is not the rancour and meanness and self-pity, but the fact that M ichelangelo, through character and concentration, could habitually rise so far above the level on which, in terms of temperament, he seemed condemned to live.” OCLC,YRK

In a review for Italica (v. 41, no. 2 (June 1964)) Rufus Putney writes: “Professor Priest and the Northwestern University Press have collaborated in creating in Renaissance and Baroque Lyrics a most attractive and useful book. The format is uncrowded and the type clear and uncluttered. Consequently, both the serious, non-academic reader and the student will find it pleasant and profitable to own and read this anthology of carefully chosen translations of 16 th and 17 th century Italian, French, and Spanish lyrical poetry. ... Each poet is introduced in a brief, helpful, judicious, biographical-critical preface. Professor Priest has also provided interesting and enlightening notes on particular poems, and there is a useful selective bibliography to direct further reading and study.” Putney finds Priest’s translations from the Italian poets “extraordinarily successful,” and regrets that Priest did not use more of his own translations.

The Fairfax translation was first published in London in 1600. D. S. Carne-Ross, writing in the Times Literary Supplement in 1962, detects a sharp contraction in the canon during the past generation or so. “One such danger area, a notable one” he writes “is Italian romance poetry. Thanks to the unpopularity of the long poem and the general lack of Italian, the Orlando Furioso and the Gerusalemme Liberata, once a familiar province of the Western imagination, have been abandoned by the common reader and left to the specialists. The recovery of Ariosto would not necessarily be too difficult. Anyone with a taste for Stendhal and the operas of M ozart should be able to get the hang of the Furioso — so long as he disregarded most of the available criticism. Tasso’s case is graver. His sensibility is more remote, his great poem demands some cultivated sympathy with the tastes and circumstances of his age.” Carne-Ross finds Fairfax’s Tudor translation “insensitive, often, to Tasso’s fine manner” but “still incomparably the best introduction to the poem” for the English-speaking reader.

A reprint of the translation first published by the Hakluyt Society in 1857 (also seen); reprinted by Franklin in 1964 and 1970. The illustrations are woodcuts reproduced from the original Italian editions. Benzoni’s History of the New World, first published in 1565 and issued in an expanded edition in 1572, was based on his own experiences in Central and South America between 1541 and 1556, supplemented with borrowings from other writers. Benzoni (b. 1519), who himself was not averse to engaging in the trade in American slaves, came in time to understand that conditions had changed. Where the Spanish had at first been able to take advantage of the apparent friendliness of the native Americans they had soon instituted a more aggressive and violent system of relations. Instead of simple profit, they wanted dominion, and used the excuse of religious concern to impose their will on the natives, or to exterminate them. Benzoni’s arguments were not one-sided. He recognized the cruel treatment of European captives, just as he had witnessed the vicious reprisals of the Spanish. He also understood the real concern of many of the priests and friars for both the spiritual and physical well-being of the natives. Nevertheless, the anti-Spanish tenor of his book was unmistakable. It was very popular in the countries opposed to Spain, and translations into Latin, French, English (brief extracts in Purchas his Pilgrimes, 1625), German, and Dutch were soon published.

Dodson, Columbia University: “In giving the world his book, Boccaccio took love out of the deep-freeze where it had lain congealed for a thousand years and gave it back to men and women. These Amorous Tales from The Decameron are fleshly hymns of thanks sung by lovers— bawdy, zestful, highly indecorous, and hilarious.” The translator takes much the same tack in his Note. The tales selected are: i.4; ii.2, 7; iii.1, 3, 4, 5 (misnumbered as

viii.1), 6, 10; iv.2; v.10; vi.7; vii.2, 3, 5, 7, 9; viii.1, 2, 4, 8; ix.2, 6. The introductions and codas to the tales are omitted. Issued in paper. Reformed,OCLC

6310 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [De claris mulieribus (1361-75?] Concerning famous women. By Giovanni Boccaccio; translated, with an introduction and notes, by Guido A. Guarino. New Brunswick, NJ: Rutgers University Press, c1963. [6], v-xxxviii, [4], 1-257, [3] pp.: ill. During the last twenty years of his life Boccaccio wrote more in Latin than in Italian. De claris mulieribus was one of his four lengthy learned Latin works. Hatch Wilkins writes that Boccaccio: “tells the stories of about a hundred famous (or infamous) women, from Eve to Queen Joan of Naples. The mood varies: there are occasional echoes of the festivity of the Decameron or of the misogynism of the Corbaccio. There is praise of simple family life; and there is novel praise of women who participate in manly activities, in the study of the classics, in poetry, and in the arts. The De claris mulieribus gave Chaucer the general scheme and some details for his Legend of Good Women.” (1954: 111) In a review for the Times Literary Supplement of the English edition published by Allen & Unwin in 1964 Geoffrey Nowell-Smith wrote: “[Boccaccio’s] De claris mulieribus is a curious mixture of medieval and incipient Renaissance attitudes. It shows Boccaccio falling away from the radical ideas implicit in the Decameron, with its complementary glorification of the virtues of intelligence and of the life of the senses, back to a gloomy martyrology with a distinct antifeminist bias — from Renaissance virtù to good old-fashioned virtue. Why this depressing document, interesting to most people only as a castor-oil corrective to certain oversimplified notions of Renaissance worldliness, should now be reissued in a sumptuous English translation is not easy to understand.” M ichigan,TRIN,UTL (3)

(Milestones of thought in the history of ideas) [6], 1-103, [1] pp. In addition to Boccaccio’s Life, also known as the Trattatello in laude di Dante, which he had sent to Petrarch in 1359, this collection includes the Vita di Dante by Leonardo Bruni (1370 or 1373-1444), and a short piece “The embassy to Venice, a passage from the life of Dante,” by Filippo Villani (ca. 1325-ca. 1405). Smith’s translation was first published in 1901 in New York by Holt as no. 10 of the series Yale studies in English. Basetti-Sani writes: “As a critic and historian, Aretino

Bibliography 1963 defended Dante’s glory against some disdainful statements of contemporary humanists. To this purpose he wrote, in Italian, a short but well-informed life of Dante. His declared intention was to correct ‘this delightful and charming Boccaccio,’ who had written ‘the life and manners of so sublime a poet just as though he were writing the “Filocolo,” the “Filostrato,” or the “Fiammetta.”’ It seems that, for these reasons, Leonardo Bruni Aretino made reservations about the authenticity of some of the stories related by Boccaccio, who — according to Aretino — had exaggerated certain traits of Dante’s character, while blandly ignoring remarkable events of his life.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Bracciolini’s India Recognita (The Indies Rediscovered), printed separately in 1492, makes up the fourth book of his Historia de Varietate Fortunae. Poggio’s narrative is based to a large extent on Niccolo de’ Conti’s report of his travels, which Bracciolini, as papal secretary, undertook to record when de’ Conti returned to Italy. Varthema’s account of his journey was first printed in Rome in 1510 as Itinerario de Ludovico de Varthema. The translations by Jones were made for the Hakluyt Society and were first published in India in the Fifteenth Century (1857), and The Travels of Ludovico de Varthema (1863). Hammond notes: “The present volume has been undertaken to make available to the general reader a text as similar as possible to the first printed edition of each of these narratives. The English translations have therefore been corrected according to the readings of these editions. ... The order of the contents of both original editions has been preserved, as well as the general style of presentation.” Issued in paper. Portraits and map on paper wrappers.

6315 CARBONI, Raffaello The Eureka Stockade. Raffaello Carboni (Carboni Raffaello). Parkville, Victoria: Melbourne University Press, 1963. [10], ix-xix, [1], 1-181, [1] pp.: facsims. In his introduction, Geoffrey Serle of Monash University writes: “The Eureka Stockade by Carboni Raffaello is one of the curiosities among Australian historical documents. There is no question of its importance: it is by far the fullest account by a participant of a dramatic, important and tragic event in Victorian and Australian history, and it was written by a man who had just been acquitted of the charge of treason. The book’s curiosity lies in the eccentricity of its author and of his style. Raffaello was a well-educated man who spoke at least five languages but had not completely mastered English; he was a fervent Italian nationalist who had had revolutionary experience [in Italy in 1849-50]; he had staked his life in taking up arms at Ballarat. The consequent book is a literary freak of extraordinary vividness and entertainment-value.” By the time of the Eureka Stockade, Carboni (1817-1875) had been on or around the gold fields for almost two years as a leader among the miners. By his own account Carboni, though fiercely prodigger, did not fight at the stockade, though he was taken prisoner, and tried for treason. Although swiftly and violently put down, the Eureka rebellion was a watershed event in Australian politics. The preceding three years of agitation for the miners’ demands, combined with mass public support in M elbourne for the captured ‘rebels’ when they were placed on trial, resulted in the introduction of full white-male suffrage for elections for the lower house in the Victorian parliament. The role of the Eureka stockade in generating public support for these demands beyond the goldfields resulted in Eureka being identified, by some factions, with the birth of democracy in Australia.

Given Carboni’s limited mastery of English, he regarded the Italian edition of his book, which he stated in his note to the original 1855 edition would be published at Turin, as “a proper edition.” That edition was eventually published in 2000 at Rome by Archivio Guido Izzi, edited by the noted Italian-Australian scholar Gaetano Rando. Carboni left Australia in 1856, and was able to participate in the Italian Risorgimento as an interpreter and translator in the office of Francesco Crispi.

London: Burns & Oates, c1963. xix, 220 pp. Carlo da Sezze (1613-1670) was canonized by Pope John XXIII in 1959. Catholic sources note that he was born of humble parents, was a shepherd, and wanted to become a priest. When unable to do so because of his poor scholarship he became a lay brother at Naziano, and served in various menial positions at a number of monasteries near Rome, and became known for his holiness, simplicity, and charity. He worked to help the stricken in the plague of 1656, and was able to write several mystical works. He wrote his autobiography at the direction of his confessor. The author of a brief notice for the Time Literary Supplement writes: “St. Charles ... gave to his future editors full permission to correct grammar, style, and what might seem to them unsatisfactory. This may partially account for the effect of scrappiness, which immediately strikes one.” The reviewer further notes that there is little attempt to indicate developments in Charles’ spiritual life.

Realizing figured bass accompaniments is among the most difficult and important of the responsibilities thus left to us in baroque music. The difference is that the baroque composer can no longer take the rehearsal in person. We depend, therefore, mainly on the baroque treatises; and The Practical Harmonist at the Harpsichord has the double advantage of being both short and good: It is also eminently practical, fully living up to its title. ...

Bibliography 1963 The history and description of Africa and of the notable things therein contained. Written by alHassan ibn Mohammed al-Wezaz, al-Fasi, a Moor, baptized as Giovanni Leone, but better known as Leo Africanus; done into English in the year 1600 by John Pory; and now edited, with an introduction and notes, by Robert Brown. New York: B. Franklin, [1963?]. [(Works issued by the Hakluyt Society; no. 92-94)] 3 v. (cxix, 1119 pp.): ill.; 4 folded maps. First published by the Hakluyt Society in 1896. Leo Africanus (ca. 1492-ca. 1550) was a M oorish diplomat, born in Granada and educated in Fez. Early in his career he took part in a diplomatic mission to the Maghreb, travelling as far as the city of Timbuktu. In 1518, returning from Arabia, he was captured near Crete by Spanish corsairs, and was taken to Rome. His captors realized his importance and he was freed, and presented to Pope Leo X. He converted, and was baptised in 1520. For some years he travelled in Italy, and returned to Rome in 1526, by which time he had, by his account, completed his manuscript on the geography of Africa. His work was made use of by Ramusio in his 1550 Delle navigationi et viaggi, and was published in a faulty Latin translation, the basis for Pory’s English edition, at Antwerp and Lyon in 1556. What little is known of Leo’s life is found in his own writings. A novel based on his life, Leo Africanus, was published by Amin M aalouf in 1986, and a historical study, Trickster Travels: a Sixteenthcentury Muslim between Worlds, by Natalie Zemon Davis, appeared in 2007.

The poems are: L’infinito, The infinite; La sera del dì di festa, The evening of the holiday; Alla luna, To the moon; La vita solitaria, The solitary life; Bruto minore, The younger Brutus; Ultimo canto di Sappho, Sappho’s last song; Alla sua donna, To his lady; A Silvia, To Sylvia; Le ricordanze, M emories; La quiete dopo la tempesta, The calm after the storm; Il passero solitario, The solitary thrush; Il sabato del villaggio, Saturday in the village; Canto notturno d’un pastore errante nell’Asia, Night song of a wandering Asian shepherd; Il pensiero dominante, The sovereign thought; A se stesso, To himself; Aspasia, Aspasia; Sopra un basso rilievo antico sepolcrale, On an ancient sepulchral bas-relief; Sopra un ritratto di una bella donna, On the portrait of a fair lady; Il tramonto della luna, The setting of the moon; and La ginestra, o, Il fiore del deserto, Genesta, or, The desert flower. Barricelli finds Leopardi’s combination of lyricism and

259 philosophy particularly challenging, presenting as many difficulties to the English translator as the Æ neid and the Divine Comedy. He thanks eight previous translators of Leopardi, “if only because a scrutiny of their works convinced me that the only way to present poetry as difficult as Leopardi’s to an English-speaking public is to stress the conceptual at the not too unreasonable expense of the aesthetic, rather than vice versa.” LC,NLC,NYP

[8], ix-xxiv, [2], 3-196, [2] pp. Tusiani’s comment on M achiavelli as poet is: “If ‘one who gathers buds beneath the hill of Helicon’ is entitled to some respect, M achiavelli unquestionably belongs to those versifiers of the Italian Renaissance who, at least once, felt and communicated the shudder of true poetry. Hardly touched by the Petrarchism of his era, M achiavelli is at times close to Francesco Berni for abruptness of perception and crudeness of detail; at times close to Lorenzo de’ M edici for vehemence of presentation and exuberance of earthly passion; at times close to Luigi Pulci for sense of parody and feeling of color, and at times even close to Ariosto for scope of fantasy and delineation of character; yet he lacks the force of Berni, the fervor of Lorenzo, the sincerity of Pulci, and the vision of Ariosto. He knows all the buds that bloom at the foot of Helicon but is incapable of weaving a perfect garland. He does not have that unmistakable yet undefinable essence which makes great poetry. His ratiocinative power overwhelms his feeling and makes him see, not recreate, the world around him.” LC,M ichigan,UTL

6349 MARINO, Giambattista [Poems. Selections] The poet of the marvelous, Giambattista Marino. By James V. Mirollo. New York; London: Columbia University Press, 1963. [7], viii, [7], 4-339, [1] pp., [6] leaves of plates: ill.; facsim., port. In addition to the many quotations from M arinos’s poems, all of which are accompanied by an English prose translation, M irollo’s study includes as an appendix “La canzone dei baci,” “La M addalena di Tiziano,” and an extract from “La pastorella,” each with an English verse translation. M arino (1569-1625) had a propensity for getting into trouble. The son of a successful lawyer in Naples, he was thrown out of his parents’ house when he gave up his legal studies. He was, however, as a young poet of great talent, made welcome in several aristocratic houses, and was elected to the Accademia degli Svelati. He was imprisoned twicw for various offenses, and fled to Rome in 1600. In Rome he found employment with prominent Church figures, and established a wide circle of literary acquintances. He travelled on various missions within Italy, and settled in Turin in 1608, where he became a court poet and was knighted by the Duke of Savoy. After more legal troubles (he was imprisoned for defaming his duke) he was allowed to move to Paris in 1615. It was in Paris that he completed his major work, the forty-one thousand line epic narrative poem L’Adone, on which he had worked for thirty years (see entry 6751). Marino’s influence on Italian poetry was, for a time, second only to that of Petrarch, but at the end of the seventeenth century M arinism as a literary movement had waned, together with M arino’s fame. In recent years, interest in M arino and in the Italian poetry of the baroque period has revived. ERI,USL,UTL

6353 METASTASIO, Pietro [Artaserse (1729). Adaptation] Artaxerxes (1761). By Thomas Augustine Arne; introduction by William Gillis. Los Angeles: William Andrews Clark Memorial Library, University of California, 1963. (Augustan Reprint Society. Publication; no. 99) [2], i-vii, [8], 8-47, [3] pp. Arne’s libretto is his own translation of M etastasio’s play Artaserse (1729). This Augustan Reprint Society edition includes a facsimile reprint of the edition of 1761. The original title page reads: Artaxerxes: an English opera. As it is performed at the Theatre-Royal in Covent-Garden. The music composed by Tho. Aug. Arne, M us. Doc. London: printed for J. and R. Tonson in the Strand. M DCC LXI. In his introduction, Gillis states: “Although the 1761 translation is generally attributed to him, Arne may not have translated the opera himself. A more likely translator is Richard Rolt (1725-1770), who provided the composer with two other libretti and who later translated M etastasio’s Il re pastore for George Rush. But certainly Arne contributed to the translation, which also owes a debt to Hasse’s 1734 libretto.” Issued in paper. LC,M USI,USL

While John Pope-Hennessy was less than satisfied with I Michelangelo, Sculptor (see 1962, 1963), he found more to praise in this edition. He writes: “The task of translating the artist’s correspondence is a far from easy one, not because the letters in themselves have much literary merit — the vast majority are casual, intimate notes dealing with personal matters — but because it is difficult to catch in English the rather homespun character of their style. They include, moreover, a certain number of business letters, the exact meaning of which can be elicited only on the basis of a very thorough knowledge of the artist’s contractual obligations and of his often evasive mental processes. On both counts M iss E. H. Ramsden scores a considerable success. In the letters to the artist’s family the tone of the artist’s voice is beautifully caught, and the translation of the complex business letters is unfailingly exact.” OCLC,USL

New York [etc.]: McGrawHill Book Company, 1963. [10], xi-xviii, [2], 3-144, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims., port. Pacioli’s treatise on accounting was included in his Summa de Arithmetica, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalità, published in Venice in 1494. The editors note: “It is undoubtedly the most famous accounting work ever to be printed. M any paragraphs of Paciolo’s work could be inserted into current textbooks and articles with little more than slight wording changes. The ‘principles’ and ‘rules’ for bookkeeping suggested in the treatise are applicable to much of modern

accounting practice.” Pacioli describes the accounting method used in Venice, then a great commercial power in Europe. In his introduction, Jennings writes: “Fr. Luca Paciolo, mistakenly, often is referred to as the originator of double-entry bookkeeping. The fact is that we don’t know who the originator was. His identity remains a mystery. Not so with Paciolo whose Summa so captured the imagination and interest of scholars of accounting that it has been translated into Dutch, [Latin], German, French and Russian as well as English. Can any of us ignore a personality who, almost five centuries ago realized that a theory was valueless unless it could be put to practical use; who recognized that the truth was fundamental to a sound system of accounts; who appreciated that character was the only sound basis for credit; who fully realized the importance of internal control; who warned against those who ‘keep their books in duplicate, showing one to the buyer and the other to the seller;’ who advocated auditing and who warned of the pitfalls in dealing with government agencies?” The Italian text is a reduced facsimile of the 1494 edition, with the title page, not present in that edition, taken from the 1523 edition OCLC,UKM,UTL

6365 PELLICO, Silvio [Le mie prigioni (1832)] My prisons. Le mie prigioni. Silvio Pellico; translation, introduction and notes by I. G. Capaldi, S.J.; foreword by Archibald Colquhoun. London; New York; Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1963. (The Oxford library of Italian classics) [5], vi-xxiv, [1], 2-199, [1] pp. Pellico (1789-1854) was born in the little town of Saluzzo, south of Turin. As a youth in Lyon he was influenced by the works of the liberal thinkers and philosophes, and when his family moved to M ilan he came under the influence of Ugo Foscolo and Vittorio Alfieri, and formed friendships with Foscolo, M anzoni, M onti, and others in the mainstream of Italian romanticism. He had an early success with his tragedy Francesca da Rimini (1818), which was admired by Byron, but his mentors also helped to shape his nationalist views. His involvement with the secret political association the Carbonari led to his arrest in 1820. He was released from the notorious Spielberg fortress in Moravia in 1830. What Pellico had to say in Le mie prigioni was how adversity had confirmed him in his previously wavering Christian faith. The message of the memoirs is one of patient suffering, without rancour for his Austrian captors. The spirit of Christian forgiveness so pervades the book that Cesare Balbo observed that such forgiveness was more damaging to the Austrian cause than the loss of a battle. LC,UKM,UTL

6372 TASSO, Torquato [Gerusalemme liberata (1581)] Jerusalem delivered. Torquato Tasso; being a translation into English verse by Edward Fairfax of Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata; with an introduction by John Charles Nelson, Associate Professor of Italian, Columbia University. New York, N.Y.: Capricorn Books, [1963]. [3], iv-xxxiv, [1], 2-446 pp. Torquato Tasso (1544-1595), poet, and the son of a poet, was a precocious talent. At the age of eighteen he published the Rinaldo, a romantic epic in twelve cantos, and a few years later he entered the service of the Este family at Ferrara. After eight years, in 1572, he obtained the patronage of Duke Alfonso II and became court poet, a position once held by Ariosto. His first success at the court came the next summer, with his Aminta (published 1581), a pastoral play, for which he also directed the performance. Tasso was now working on his masterpiece Gerusalemme liberata, an epic set in the final phase of the first Crusade. Within a few years, however, his physical and mental health began to disintegrate as his sensitive nature was racked by doubts about the critical and religious orthodoxy of his work and by suspicions of hostility towards him on the part of patrons and friends. In 1579 the Duke had him placed in the fortressasylum of Sant’Anna, where he endured seven years of misery. While Tasso was confined, his epic poem was published, without his knowledge; first in part, as Il Goffredo (1580), then in full in 1581, and on his release in 1586 Tasso found himself

honoured and celebrated. The publication of Gerusalemme liberata marked the beginning of a literary feud between the Tassophiles and the Ariostophiles which dragged on in Europe for almost two centuries. The Ariostophiles included Galileo and Voltaire, while among the Tassophiles were Pope and Rousseau. Dryden shifted from one camp to the other. For five years Tasso worked to revise his epic, and in 1593 he published Gerusalemme conquistata, which he believed to be the superior work, but which Joseph Tusiani (who published his own translation of Gerusalemme liberata into English verse in 1970) sees as: “... the painful document of a mind hopelessly perturbed by religious, moral, and literary scruples. It is also the unprecedented example of how a poet allows his own cold selfcriticism to dissect and destroy the warm inspiration of his youth.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature 1979: 504). Tasso died before he could receive the crown of laurel on the Capitoline Hill, an honour planned for him by Pope Clement VIII. The Fairfax translation of Gerusalemme liberata was first published in London in 1600, with a verse dedication to Elizabeth I. In 1687 Roger L’Estrange brought out a third edition, and commented in his preface: “This translation ... is one of the most correct Pieces, perhaps, for the Turn of the Verse; The apt and Harmonious Disposition of the Words, and the strength of Thought, that we have anywhere extant of this kind in the English Tongue.” Fairfax’s version often reads like an original poem, and critics have in fact pointed out that some of Fairfax’s stanzas owe little to Tasso.

In his original dedication, Varthema states that he: “determined to investigate some small portion of this our terrestrial globe; and not having any inclination ... to arrive at my desire by study or conjectures, I determined, personally, and with my own eyes, to endeavour to ascertain the situation of places, the qualities of peoples, the diversities of animals, the varieties of the fruit-bearing and odoriferous trees of Egypt, Syria, Arabia Deserta and Felix, Persia, India, and Ethiopia, remembering well that the testimony of one eye-witness is worth more than ten heard-says.” The genuineness of his account had been under suspicion since the sixteenth century, but in his long essay in the 1928 Argonaut Press reprint Sir Richard Carnac Temple establishes that (with the possible exception of Persia) Varthema did actually visit all the places he mentions, though he did embroider his personal adventures considerably. By the time he died, Varthema was one of the best-known travel writers in early modern Europe. The Hakluyt Society edition of Jones’s translation was first published in 1863 (seen).

6388 VESPASIANO, da Bisticci [Le vite d’uomini illustri del secolo XV (1839)] Renaissance princes, popes and prelates: the Vespasiano memoirs, lives of illustrious men of the XVth century. Vespasiano; translated by William George and Emily Waters; introduction to the Torchbook edition by Myron P. Gilmore. New York; Evanston; London: Harper & Row, Publishers, 1963. (Harper torchbooks. The academy library) [4], v-xvi, 1-475, [1], 1-7, [1] pp., [12] pp. of plates: ill.; ports. This translation was previously published as The Vespasiano Memoirs by Routledge in 1926. Vespasiano da Bisticci (1421-1498) was a bookdealer and biographer. His entry in the Dictionary of Italian Literature states: “A Florentine by birth, Vespasiano rose to become the most celebrated bookdealer of his time in Europe. Before the invention and diffusion of printing presses, bookdealers sold only expensive manuscripts copied by hand and illustrated by artists. Vespasiano’s manuscripts had an excellent reputation for their fidelity to the original copy and for their artistic merits. He helped to build the three greatest libraries of his time for Cosimo de’ M edici, Federico da M ontefeltro, and Pope Nicholas V; he supplied books to all the M edici, the Este family, the House of Aragon, the king of Hungary, and many other rich and influential readers. His extensive connections with his prominent customers enabled him to compose one of the essential collections of biographical portraits of the Renaissance after he retired in 1480 to his country villa.” (1979: 537-8) Vespasiano disliked the art of printing, then in its infancy. His text was known to scholars, but was published only in 1839 by Cardinal Angelo M ai under the title Virorum illustrium. The original edition of this translation was reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement by M . Hunter Woods, who wrote: “For Vespasiano ‘great men’ and ‘learned men’ were synonymous. He was more impressed by knowledge and virtue than by power and wealth. Nevertheless, he does not omit to mention the latter attributes and, indeed, frequently insists upon them, in cases where they do honour to their possessors. Thus, though a superficial reading of his book may indicate that his generation was one of pedantry combined with unimaginative piety, of ostentation and careless generosity united to poverty of creative power, deeper analysis proves this to be only a partial truth. The pedantry and the piety implied a conscientious application of the mind to some particular task — the deciphering of a manuscript or the observance of a fast — and the mental habits thus cultivated were bearing fruit, at that very time, in the minute and loving care which Botticelli and Leonardo bestowed upon every detail in their paintings. Similarly, the liberality of these scholarly nobles and their love of costly finery fostered the breadth of vision and largeness of soul which enabled Brunelleschi to attempt miraculous feats of architecture and M ichelangelo the sombre splendour of vast frescoes.” Hunter Woods adds: “The editors tend to deprecate Vespasiano’s style — or rather, his lack of it — but, whatever

6390 Vittorino da Feltre and other humanist educators. By William Harrison Woodward; with a foreword by Eugene F. Rice, Jr. New York: Bureau of Publications, Teachers College, Columbia University, c1963. (Classics in education; no. 18) [6], vii-xxviii, 1-261, [3] pp. In addition to Woodward’s biographical study of Vittorino da Feltre (Vittore dei Rambaldoni, ca. 1373-1446), and his review of the educational aims and methods of the first century of humanism, the collection includes translations of De studiis et literis, by Leonardo Aretino Bruni (1370 or 1373-1444), De ordine docendi et studendi, by Battista Guarini (1538-1612), De liberorum educatione, by Pope Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini (1405-1464)), and De ingenuis moribus, by Pietro Paolo Vergerio, the elder (1370-1444). The collection was first published in 1897 by Cambridge University Press. In the bibliographical note to his foreword to this 1963 reprint, Rice states: “Woodward’s versions are in many passages paraphrases rather than translations. The original texts are best read in critical editions published since he wrote.” The original full title of Woodward’s book is: Vittorino da Feltre and Other Humanist Educators: Essays and Versions. An Introduction to the History of Classical Education. Concerning humanist teaching, Rice comments: “A humanist did not teach everything; he was a specialist. When teaching his subject professionally, whether publicly or privately, he taught the Latin and Greek languages and literatures, history and moral philosophy. These were the ‘good and liberal arts,’ which were counted on to make men learned and virtuous. ... The very limitations of this curriculum reflect a new educational purpose: to produce free and civilized men, men of virtue and taste, with a sense of beauty, rather than

In his introduction, M ajor writes: “Towards the close of the fourteenth century Nicolò Zeno, a member of one of the noblest and most ancient families in Venice, went, at his own expense, on a voyage rather of curiosity than discovery into the northern seas. ... Nicolò Zeno was wrecked on what he describes as the Island of Frislanda, which will presently be shown to be the Faeroe Group, and he and his companions were rescued from the wreckers by the chief of a neighbouring principality, named Zichmni, who happened to be there, and into whose service he entered in the capacity of pilot of his fleet. After remaining with this chieftain for some time, during which is recorded the conquest of Frislanda by Zichmni, Nicolò Zeno wrote home to his brother Antonio, inviting him to join him, which he did. Nicolò survived his brother’s arrival four years, and died in Frislanda. Antonio remained ten more years in the service of Zichmni, and then returned to Venice, where he died.” It has since been established that Niccolò made a will in Venice in 1400, and died there in 1402. The suggestion that the whole narrative is simply a crude fabrication represents one extreme of opinion. Some recent scholarship does support the idea that the voyage actually took place, if not precisely as described. The map, Zeno’s Carta del navegar, was a fabrication based on the 1537 map of the northern regions of the Swede Olaus M agnus, and on a 15 th -century map of the Dane Claudius Clavus. Copies of the map’s features and names in M ercator (1569), Ortelius (1570), and Italian translations of Ptolemy’s Geographia (1561, 1598), misled geographers and mariners for many decades. It was most probably prepared by the younger Niccolò Zeno (1515-1565), who published his account of the voyages of his forbears at Venice in 1558 (see Healey, 2007: 21-25). M ajor’s translation first appeared in 1873 as the 50 th volume in the first series of Works issued by the Hakluyt Society. The Franklin reprint is also recorded with the date 1964. LC,OCLC,UTL

John Pope-Hennessy noted the publication of this contribution to the commemoration of the fourth century of M ichelangelo’s death for the Times Literary Supplement. He comments that: “The Esequie, which was written in haste, possibly, as Professor Wittkower suggests, by that éminence grise of the Florentine art world Vincenzo Borghini, as propaganda for the newly founded Florentine Academy, gives an account of the commemorative service organized for M ichelangelo by the Academy in San Lorenzo in Florence and transcribes some of the poems composed on the occasion of his death. The ceremony reflects little credit on its organizers — it was intended first to purge the sense of guilt which most Florentine artists living at the time must have experienced when they reviewed the conduct of their city towards the greatest artist of their day, and secondly to serve as a vehicle through which that pretentious body, the Academy, might assert its newly found identity — and the reader may well feel some sympathy with Cellini, who with his customary good sense proposed instead a simpler, more appropriate ceremony in the chapter house of San Lorenzo or in the Laurentian Library.” *,USL,UTL

[7], viii-ix, [6], 4-324 pp. Imerti writes: “That Spaccio de la bestia trionfante should have been the only work of Bruno’s to be singled out by the Roman Inquisition at the summation of his trial is not surprising; for owing to its daring ethical and epistemological speculations, its philosophy of nature, of religion, and of history, the work becomes the embodiment of all that is most heretical in the philosopher’s thinking. Bruno, himself keenly aware of its heretical nature, had the book published in 1584 in an atmosphere of secrecy. ... It is reasonable to assume that Sir Philip Sidney, to whom the philosopher dedicated Lo spaccio, with his deeply moving and most revealing ‘Epistola esplicatoria,’ circulated it among his friends. But in the years subsequent to the philosopher’s burning, few scholars dared to refer to Lo spaccio and its author, except to allude to the work as something blasphemous, and to its author as an impious atheist.” CRRS,LC,UTL

The title evokes the subject matter: the ascension toward God and the return to the supreme unity of the soul through love. The work describes the progress of the soul in love as it mounts by degrees toward the supreme good. The description of this ascent, its states of progress and disillusionment before the final attainment of the ideal, is told in the form of a dialogue interspersed with sonnets.” The work is dedicated to Sir Philip Sidney.

When eighteen, he was sent to Seville to learn the intricacies of international maritime trade. With his father, he set out from Spain in 1594 on what was intended to be a relatively brief slave-trading voyage but lengthened out into a circumnavigation of the globe. Had all gone well eight years

later with the last lap (from Goa around the Cape of Good Hope to Lisbon) of this remarkable journey, Carletti would have returned to Florence in the summer of 1602 as a rich man. But misfortune in the shape of Dutch ships and a disastrous sea battle befell him off the island of Saint Helena. Ann by the time he finally saw Florence again in July 1606 after some years of almost fruitless litigation in the Low Countries and a brief visit to the court of Henry IV at Paris, he had lost most of the wealth he had garnered by astute trading. As a native Florentine who had seen many wonders in the islands off West Africa, in both Americas (Panama, Peru, and M exico), in the Philippine Islands, Japan, M acao (where his father died), M alacca, and Goa — and who was extremely articulate about them — he was highly welcome at the court of Fernando de’ M edici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who was nursing plans to make the port of Livorno (Leghorn) an important depot of international — and particularly oriental — trade. To the Grand Duke, Carletti first made the verbal reports of his experiences which later were written down as the Ragionamenti (Chronicles) here translated.” The reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement notes: “The book is much more than a collection of amusing observations. Carletti has much to say about the slave trade, for instance. He shipped a miserable cargo from the Cape Verde Islands to Cartagena, and later on quieted an uneasy conscience by buying five Koreans in Japan and freeing them for baptism in Goa. And above all he typifies the first generation to have grown beyond the wonders-and-marvels stage of discovery overseas. He recorded what he saw objectively, and he used his knowledge of foreign customs to point the contrasts from those of Europe. And he did not use these contrasts to scorn or mock, but to learn. He lived in the first age of serious anthropology, the first age that saw the New World and the East as providing lessons, and not merely amusing stories, for Europe.” LC,OCLC,UTL

of International Law; [translated ... by James Leslie Brierly, M.A., B.C.L., Fellow of Trinity College and late Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford, of Lincoln’s Inn, Barrister-at-Law]. New York: Oceana Publications; London: Wildy & Sons, 1964. (The classics of international law; [no. 8]) [3], iv-xxxviii, [2], 209-374, [2], 457-458 pp., [1] leaf of plates: ill.

B. 1393 in the Biblioteca Comunale dell’Archiginnasio, and a facsimile of the first edition of 1477, by Clarendon Press for the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in 1917. The facsimiles and the edited text are omitted from this reprint. The editor writes: “the work of Legnano [d. 1383] ... was the earliest attempt to deal, as a whole, with the group of rights and duties which arise out of a state of War. No one will be surprised to find that the author, though hailed by his contemporaries as ‘a second Aristotle,’ foremost in every branch of learning, was far from sharing in the clear-cut views upon the scope and nature of the ‘laws of war’ to which international jurists, after more than five centuries of subsequent discussion, have at length attained. He includes in his treatise much that would now be regarded as belonging to dogmatic theology, to moral philosophy, or to the code of honour, and relies in support of his statements upon quotations from the Bible, from the Corpus Iuris Civilis, the Corpus Iuris Canonici, and the Feudal Customaries, which, at the present day, would be treated as irrelevant. The interest of the book is, indeed, largely due to its remoteness from modern conceptions. It marks the terminus a quo from which the literature of the subject had to start, in order to arrive at the terminus ad quem which has so far been reached.” LAW,OCLC,UTL

6437 GUARINI, Battista [Il pastor fido (1590)] A critical edition of Sir Richard Fanshawe’s 1647 translation of Giovanni Battista Guarini’s Il pastor fido. By Walter F. Staton, Jr., and William E. Simeone. Oxford: at the Clarendon Press, 1964. [5], vi-xxxii, [3], 4-191, [1] pp., [2] leaves of plates: facsim.; port. Guarini (1538-1612) was, like many other writers of his era, a diplomat and courtier as well as a poet. Born in Ferrara, he was already by 1557 a professor of rhetoric. After some time in Padua he returned to Ferrara where in 1567 he entered the service of Alfonso II d’Este, Tasso’s nemesis. Unlike Tasso, he stayed in the Duke’s service, performing ambassadorial and secretarial functions, until 1588. Though he enjoyed enormous prestige as a poet he could be a difficult man, and his later years were marred by bitter quarrels and litigation with his own children, with Venice, and with M arfisa d’Este. While Tasso’s Aminta is now acknowledged as the prototype of the pastoral play in Italy, and its greatest exemplar, Aminta was until quite recently overshadowed by the great popularity and international success of Guarini’s Il pastor fido. This long verse play — more than three times as long as Aminta — was first published in 1590 and remained the most popular work of secular literature in Europe for almost two hundred years. In his play Guarini follows many of the rules and restores much of the apparatus of the Greek theatre that Tasso had pared away in the lyric Aminta. In Il pastor fido we see the wrath of the gods, oracles, dreams and omens; a child lost twenty years before but saved to return; a judgement, a sacrifice, and a love enmeshed with the welfare of the state and the rights of parents. It is not a pastoral at all, in the sense that the Aminta is; there is little or no rusticity in it. Rather, it is a reflection of contemporary life and feeling. Il pastor fido is Italy at the end of the Renaissance. Guarini’s thought is never profound, but it is always wise with experience. Il pastor fido is the original of one of the most brilliant of poetic translations into English, that by Sir Richard Fanshawe in 1647. Though the first English translation was published in 1602, it is Fanshawe’s which has endured. Sir Richard Fanshawe (1608-1666) was educated at Cambridge, and took the King’s side when the Civil War broke out. He acted as Latin secretary to Charles II in Holland. After the Restoration he held

M ary Augusta Scott (1916: 213) writes that his chief work was a translation of Camões Lusiad (1655), so well done that it was still a standard translation in the first part of the twentieth century.

Yet he is the greatest historian between Tacitus in the first century and Voltaire and Gibbon in the eighteenth and he is one of the greatest of all writers of contemporary history. His reputation has been the victim of circumstance and fashion. The History of Italy was published posthumously in 1561. Its rational, anti-clerical monotone was out of place in a world of richly orchestrated Counter Reformation and its treatment of the peninsula as a whole was irrelevant to an Italy where, with any move to federation or unity blocked by foreign domination, the several states drowsed in a listless provincialism. Regarded as a warehouse of information, it was translated before the end of the sixteenth century into Latin, French, German, Dutch, Spanish and English, but it was not valued as a work of art, and little interest was felt in its author.” Issued in paper; see also 1969. *,KSM ,LC

The Accademia del cimento (Academy of Experiments) of Florence was in existence for a little over ten years: its first recorded session took place on June 19, 1657, and the last meeting on M arch 5, 1667. Hall notes that: “The Accademia del

Bibliography 1964 Cimento was purely a court group, meeting solely at the will and pleasure of its royal master who was the Grand Duke of Tuscany’s brother. Leopold had been a pupil of Galileo’s: his interest in physical science was genuine, and he proposed some of the experiments that the academy attempted. But he was not the architect of an open, egalitarian scientific society of the modern kind, of which undoubtedly the first pattern was set by the Royal Society of London. ... Several members ... were wholly or largely maintained by the Grand Duke and his brother. ... Of more enduring significance and of prime importance to the work of the academicians was the generous provision made to them by the M edici for the purchase of instruments and apparatus.” There were only eleven members, including its second secretary, and chronicler, Count Lorenzo M agalotti (1637-1712, see entry 8046 for a note), the court mathematician Vincenzio Viviani (1622-1703), who was Galileo’s last pupil and the academy’s chief figure, and the court physician Francesco Redi (1626-1698, see also entries 6988 and 8845). Clark writes: “The bulk of the physical experiments were devoted to the study of atmospheric pressure and the properties of the vacuum on the one hand, and thermal effects, especially freezing, on the other. By these, essentially, the work of the Accademia should be judged. ... Although it contains few new discoveries or original reflections, Waller’s translation of the ‘Saggi’ remains a fundamentally important, and interesting, record of experimental science.” Clark also notes that the designation “del cimento” appears nowhere in the academy’s own records, nor in contemporary documents.

London; New York; Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1964. (Oxford library of Italian classics) [5], vi-xxii, [3], 4-212, [2] pp. Beccaria’s Dei delitti e delle pene was first published in 1764. Beccaria was M anzoni’s maternal grandfather. In his introduction, d’Entrèves writes that in the Storia della colonna infame, M anzoni: “is bent on pointing a moral, and the moral is exactly the same as that outlined in Beccaria’s reflections. Torture was not only a monstrous survival of cruel and barbarous ages, a premium given to the strong over the weak, a substitute for the real task of justice, which is to ascertain the truth. It was also a violation of the dignity of man, a denial of the right of everyone to be presumed innocent until he is proved guilty. All that M anzoni does is to shift the indictment of torture from the plane of principles and logic, which Beccaria had chosen, to the stage itself where the horrible drama was enacted. And it is on this plane that he encounters a problem which is to him the greatest problem of all: that of human responsibility. If

277 the laws of the seventeenth century allowed and even recommended the use of torture, how could the judges of that time be blamed for using it, let alone for the absurd miscarriage of justice which it entailed? Here is the point where Beccaria and M anzoni part company.” LC,M ichigan,SCC

Oxford: at the Clarendon Press, 1964. (Clarendon medieval and Tudor series) [8], vii-xxxiv, 1-169, [3] pp., [1] leaf of plates: port. The poems of Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey (1517-1547) include many translations from Italian and Latin, while his original poems are influenced by Petrarchan, neo-classical ideas of style. In this edition, the amatory poems 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 13 are translations or adaptations from Petrarch; poem 5 is an adaptation of lines from the first canto of Ariosto’s Orlando furioso. Surrey’s brief life, lived during the turbulent reign of Henry VIII (reigned 1509-1547), ended with his beheading on January 19, 1547. He had been accused of conspiring against the succession of Edward VI. Henry himself died eight days later. Surrey is noted as an originator of English blank verse, the domesticator of the sonnet form, and a translator of Virgil. Of his translations from Italian, Dennis Keene writes: “Surrey’s interest in Petrarch now looks much like his interest in Virgil, as a poet who possessed the classical virtues of balance, symmetry, chaste diction and elegance; stylistic aspects in which English poetry and the English language itself were felt to be lacking. These translations, therefore, are more like adaptations than actual translations, as Surrey’s aim was to fit Petrarchan style on to an English reality ... .” LC,TRIN,UTL

A reprint, with a new introduction, of the English section of the bilingual edition published in 1940 by The University of Chicago Press. Because of the elimination of the Latin text, the pagination section numbered 3-483 consists of the oddnumbered pages only, printed consecutively. De morbis artificum diatriba was first published in 1700, the year that Ramazzini moved from the University of M odena to the University of Padua. Rosen writes: “Realizing that occupational health was a matter of great social importance, Ramazzini [1633-1714] undertook not only to study the morbid conditions caused by occupation, but also to call attention to the practical application of his knowledge. In the first edition of his book he discussed 42 groups of workers, among them miners, gilders, apothecaries, midwives, bakers and millers, painters, potters, singers, and soldiers. The second edition of 1713 was enlarged to include 12 more groups, among them printers, weavers, grinders, and well-diggers. The humanitarian element in Ramazzini’s work is evident to any reader, but one must also emphasize his awareness of the significance of economic productivity in relation to health. ... Therefore, medicine, like jurisprudence should make a contribution to the well-being of workers and see to it that, so far as possible, they should exercise their callings without harm.” Ramazzini himself wrote: “It must be confessed that many arts are the cause of grave injury to those who practise them. M any an artisan has looked at his craft as a means to support life and raise a family, but all he has got from it is some deadly disease, with the result that he has departed this life cursing the craft to which he has applied himself.” See also entry 4039.

Sanseverino’s Viaggio in Terra Santa was first published in 1888, Capodilista’s Itinerario in Terra Santa was printed at Perugia around 1475, and Wey’s Itineraries was published for the Roxburgh Club in 1857.

6464 Theatre festivals of the Medici, 1539-1637. By A. M. Nagler. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 1964. [8], ix-xx, 1-190, [2] pp., [1] leaf and [128] pp. of plates: ill.; facsims., ports. A note states that this work was written in German, and was translated for this edition. There does not appear to have

been a German edition. M uch of the text consists of edited translations from contemporary accounts of the festivals, from the nuptials of Cosimo I (1539) to the presentation Le nozze degli dei (1637). The 128 pages of reproductions of contemporary illustrations provide a useful supplement to the text. Nagler writes: “Forgotten today are the names of the court poets who were called upon to find a ‘hinge’ upon which ‘the whole invention moved,’ though we still remember ottavio Rinuccini as the librettist of the earliet operas, Dafne and Euridice. The composers’ names are known only to musicologists: Cristofano M alvezzi, Alessandro Striggio, and Francesco Corteccia, composers of the Florentine madrigals; Giulio Caccini, Jacopo Peri, and M arco da Gagliano, closely connected with the beginnings of the opera. Best known among the artists working in the M edici Theatre are the set designers: minor ones such as Bastiano da San Gallo, known as Aristotile (1481-1551), and Baldassare Lanci (1510-71); and the major figures such as Giorgio Vasari (1511-74), Bernardo Buontalenti (1536-1608), Giulio Parigi ©. 1570-1635), and his son Alfonso (d. 1656). ... Great sums of money were lavished on these shows, since they were often prompted by the desire to outshine competitive courst and to impress the guests with the riches of the M edici. The other motive for such courtly revels was the element of flattery, which was always in the foreground as each court poet strove to devise elaborate compliments for the ruling house and for the bride and groom.” Reprinted by Da Capo Press in 1976.

6465 THOMAS, Aquinas, Saint [In decem libros Ethicorum Aristotelis ad Nicomachum expositio (1271-71)] Commentary on the Nicomachean ethics. Volume I [II]. St. Thomas Aquinas; translated by C. I. Litzinger, O.P. Chicago: Henry Regnery Company, c1964. (Library of living Catholic thought) 2 v. ([10], xi-xiii, [7], 5-534; [10], xi-xiii, [5], 537-1000 pp): tables. Includes a new version of Aristotle’s text, with the first complete translation of St. Thomas’ Commentary. Litzinger notes: “St. Thomas’ unique qualifications as an interpreter of Aristotle is attested by Professor Harry T. Jaffa who maintains that the teaching of Aristotle can be discovered more readily in St. Thomas than in Aristotle himself; that St. Thomas is unequaled in his mastery of the whole of Aristotelian doctrine and in his ability to co-ordinate its parts. The Professor goes on to note this significant fact about St. Thomas’ interpretation of the Ethics: ‘Thomas rarely, if ever, attempts to explain any statement of Arustotle except in terms of other of his statements. Nothing extraneous to the Ethics itself is, apparently, permitted to serve as the basis for his interpretation of the Ethics.’” Concerning his translation, Litzinger writes that: “the translator is under obligation to present as clearly as possible the meaning of the author. When a literal translation best suits this purpose it should be used; when a freer rendition is necessary to bring out the thought, he should not hesitate to adopt this more suitable means. Thus he will make a faithful reproduction of the

original, an essential quality of any translation.” Reprinted in 1993 by Dumb Ox, and in 2003 by Thoemmes. KSM ,KVU,UTL

6477 Wit and wisdom of the Italian Renaissance. By Charles Speroni. Berkeley; Los Angeles: University of California Press, 1964. [11], 2-317, [1] pp.: ill. Speronis’s compilation draws on the writings of Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459), Ludovico Carbone (1435-1482), Piovano Arlotto (Arlotto M ainardi, 1396-1484), Angelo Poliziano (1454-1494), Niccolò Angèli dal Bùcine (14481532?), Giovanni Pontano (1426-1503), Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), Ludovico Domenichi (1515-1564), Ludovico Guicciardini (1521-1589), anecdotes about Pietro Gonella (14 th c.) and Domenico Barlacchia (16 th c.), and Baldassarre Castiglione (1478-1529). The extract from Castiglione’s Il libro del cortegiano (1528), functions as a treatise on the place and

use of pleasantries and practical jokes. The translations are by Speroni. In his introduction, Speroni writes: “It was in the Renaissance ... when a new, open-minded contact was reëstablished with the ancient classical literatures, that the witty anecdote, largely under the influence of the ancient apothegm, entered a new phase and acquired an independent life. ... The facetia of the Renaissance is, in general, a brief narrative that varies in length from a few lines to one or even two pages. Its main purpose is to entertain and excite laughter by relating a humorous occurrence that often finds its conclusion in a pungent, well-timed repartee. M ost frequently, the shorter the anecdote, the sharper the wit. M any of the facetiae of the Renaissance are associated with a witty individual, sometimes a court buffoon. Incidentally, the facetia, or as it may be called in English the ‘pleasantry,’ seems to thrive best in a highly developed culture, for a sophisticated mind sees the comical side of people, situations, and things.” CRRS,LC,UTL

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, c1965. [6], vii-xi, [3], 3-199, [5] pp.: ill.; diagram, facsims. This publication contains a discussion of Horace Walpole (1717-1797) and his letters; of the word ‘serendipity,’ its etymology and usage; and the first direct English translation of Christoforo Armeno’s Peregrinaggio, by Augusto G. and Theresa L. Borselli, with historical material about the work, and an account of its editions and translations. The word ‘serendipity’ was coined by Walpole to denote the faculty of making lucky and unexpected “finds” by accident. In a letter of January 28, 1754, he says that he formed it from the title of a fairy story, The Three Princes of Serendip, because the princes “were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of” (The Reader’s Encyclopedia 1965: 915). The title of the original publication is Peregrinaggio di tre giovani figliuoli del re di Serendippo; tradotto dalla lingua persiana in lingua italiana da M. Christoforo Armeno, and the Venetian printer was M ichele Tramezzino. Remer writes: “during the course of scholarly interest in the Peregrinaggio over the past four centuries, grave doubt have developed as to whether Christoforo Armeno ever really existed, except in the mind of the enterprising Tramezzino. There has also been controversy over whether or not there existed a Persian document from which the translation was made.” According the Remer’s account, the conclusions of the German folklorist, Richard Fick are: “1. The alleged translator, Christoforo Armeno, existed only on the title page of the Peregrinaggio ... . 2. There was no single source, Persian or otherwise, from which a translation was made by anyone at any time. 3. The name ‘Serendip’ was probably adopted for the locale of the tales because of the big news then current— the conversion of Ceylon to Christianity (about 1552); because it gave the title of the book an exotic and attractive flavor; and because it provided an ancient Indian background ... . 4. Tramezzino was most likely the compiler of the tales, some of which he improvised, and he should be regarded as the author of the Peregrinaggio. 5. The tales, other than those spun by Tramezzino and his circle of noble friends, were of ancient origin, mostly Indian.” Some of the tales were known in Venice a century or more prior to publication. The translators comment: “The author’s diction is the precise, good literary Italian of his age, a language still influenced by formal Latin stylists. He never resorts to regional words or expression.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Forrer notes: “He has, as a translator, crabbed himself within the narrow limits of twelve syllables and of rhyming alternate lines. This is a terrible task involving, perforce, linguistic and intellectual gymnastics, because of the structural differences of Italian and English. ... Inevitably there is distortion here and there, but it is rare that this distortion is beyond the bounds of reason. ...

He wrote, in part: “M r Bond’s point is the Italian influence on English comedy, and in

286

his Introductory Essay he works it out minutely and clearly. He shows how the sixteenth-century authors of Italian commedia erudita, Ariosto, Aretino, Cecchi, Grazzini, and others, adapted the comedy of Plautus and Terence, which in its turn was an adaptation of the Greek New Comedy — the comedy of ordinary middle-class life. ... Among the changes worked out by M r. Bond the most important is that of the heroine from a prostitute or a dancer to an honest girl. Very little — sometimes nothing at all — is seen of her; but that is due to the placing of the action in a street, where honest Italian girls, no less than honest Roman girls, were not to be seen. One way out of this difficulty was to dress the girl as a boy — a device which had far-reaching consequences on the womanless English stage. ... In all three plays the management of the plot, the quality of the dialogue, the construction and the feeling for dramatic action and dramatic presentation are far above those shown in the great majority of contemporary plays. It was from Latin and Italian models that our playwrights first learned, in comedy no less than in tragedy, how to make a play; and if, when the art had been mastered, Shakespeare and the others threw away the model and worked by rule of thumb, their debt to Plautus and Terence and their Italian followers is none the less apparent. And M r. Bond’s book, with its comprehensive view of the whole field, its minute annotation, and its trustworthy text, is a fine specimen of English scholarship.” ERI,LC,NYP

The Oxford Companion to Art notes: “In 1445 he completed the bronze doors of St. Peter’s, Rome, in a muddled version of Ghiberti’s style, with reliefs of religious subjects, scenes from the pontificate of Eugenius IV [who had commissioned the work], and involved classical allegories.” (1970: 406) Muddled or not, Filarete’s doors were preserved when the old St Peter’s was demolished, and were reinstalled in the new St Peter’s Basilica. In M ilan, Filarete worked as an architect on the Duomo (1451-54), the Castello Sforzesco (1451-55), and his most important project, the Ospedale M aggiore, on which he worked from 1456 until 1465. His Trattato di architettura, completed by 1465, and circulated widely in manuscript, was his most interesting work, though it remained unpublished until 1894, when the profusely illustrated M agliabecchiana manuscript was edited by Wolfgang von Oettingen. The Oxford Companion comments: “It includes a vision of a new city, Sforzinda (named after his patron, Francesco Sforza), to be planned and decorated in the new style, which is the first symmetrical town-planning scheme of modern times. The treatise, presented as novel and dialogue, reflects the tastes and practises of his time and contains information of value to the historian of art.” His treatise was not to the taste of the more rational sixteenth century: Giorgio Vasari dismissed it as the “most ridiculous and perhaps the stupidest book ever written.” RBSC,USL,UTL

Domandi writes: “If Guicciardini’s Ricordi [had] been as well known as M achiavelli’s Prince, they would surely have competed for the reputation of being the most immoral piece of political prose of the early Cinquecento. ... It is easy to understand why these cynical, worldly-wise ricordi, with their constant and clear appeal to self-interest, might have given offense. But to take Guicciardini to task for divorcing political action from ethics is to miss the point of his particular contribution to the history of political thought. For it was precisely the virtue of his works, and those of his friend Machiavelli, that they finally and completely removed politics from its moorings in ethics and philosophy.” Also issued in paper, and reprinted.

London; New York; Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1965. (The Oxford library of Italian classics) [7], viii-xix, [7], 5-170 pp. The writings are taken from Ricordi politici e civili, Considerazioni sui discorsi di Machiavelli, and Ricordanze inedite. Geoffrey Nowell-Smith, writing for the Times Literary Supplement, notes: “For three hundred years Guicciardini was known solely as the author of the masterly and slightly rebarbative Storia d’Italia, just as M achiavelli was known largely as the author of The Prince. That both men were more multifarious than the record suggested was either not known or, when it became known, ignored. In recent years, however, the pendulum has been swinging the other way. The key to M achiavelli’s thought has been looked for not in The Prince but in the Discorsi, and for Guicciardini in his political writings and notably in his Considerations on M achiavelli. The Oxford Library of Italian Classics continues this process with a vengeance. Having given us a strictly literary and non-political M achiavelli [see 1961], it now offers a strictly personal and political-philosophical, non-historical Guicciardini.” NowellSmith also comments: “[Guicciardini] is a conservative empiricist whose ideas, not only on political questions but also on subjects as wide-ranging as causality and aesthetic taste, are closer to Burke and Hume than to our conventional picture of Renaissance thought.” M ichigan,USL,UTL

Why should we balance mental with physical exercise? How can a man devoted to learning play an active part in society an politics? What can we learn from the careers of our great contemporaries? How do men in power actually behave and what lessons can we draw from their actions? How does man fit into the universe? The terms in which the men of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Italy discussed these questions — which still agitate us powerfully — reflect their deep conviction that they were pioneers and innovators, repudiating their immediate forbears and moving forward boldly with the help of the long lost ancient thinkers whom they felt they had rediscovered.” Issued in paper.

Richards writes: “For nearly sixty years M alatesta [18531932] was active in the anarchist movement as an agitator and as a propagandist. He was, as a glance through the files of the anarchist press will show, one of the movement’s most respected members as well as remaining to the end one of its most controversial. He was active in many parts of the world, as well as the editor of a number of Italian anarchist journals including the daily Umanità Nova (1920-22). Half his life was spent in exile and the respect he was accorded by governments is surely evidenced by the fact that he spent more than ten years in prison, mainly awaiting trial. Juries, by contrast, showed a different respect, in almost always acquitting him, recognising that the only galantuomo, that the only honest man, was the one facing them in the prisoner’s cage!” The first part (pp. 19-199) of this biography and assessment of M alatesta’s ideas and tactics consists of selections from his writings, from the 1880s to the year of his death.

Why in England did it become so popular that it overshadowed the more

comprehensive volumes by Sebastiano Serlio [see entries 70113, 9671] and that immensely useful design guide by Vignola [see entries 2968, 9992]? Palladio became the idol of eighteenthcentury architects and patrons largely because he was so conservative and because he left a book which contained the elements of an historical survey of Roman architecture coupled with examples of how this style could be incorporated into modern practice. ... The English, with their strong literary bent, have often turned to books for their artistic inspiration rather than to an actual study of their predecessors’ architecture. Inigo Jones on his visit to Italy early in the seventeenth century, interpreted Italian architecture through the words of Palladio, whose book he purchased [see Inigo Jones’s ‘Roman Sketchbook,’ entry 0650].” Issued in paper.

M aurer to render the Latin word esse in his widely used translation of On Being and Essence [see 1949] (and elsewhere, and by other existential Thomists as well); and (2) as an attempt at the beginnings of freeing philosophy from certain unacceptable theses of existential Thomism which hover over its use. The attempt throughout, both in translating and in interpreting, has been to use as ordinary an English as possible, and still communicate the philosophical content intact.” Reprinted in 1970.

293 In his introduction, Gianturco writes: “Whatever can be said to defend and vindicate the humanities has already been set forth by able pleaders ... . But fully to understand the issues involved, it is not superfluous to go back to the early-modern origins of the debate scientism versus humanism. That debate, from which the idea of progress was to emerge in full éclat, arose as an offshoot of the Quarrel of the Ancients and the M oderns, which took place in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in France, England, and Italy, concerning the comparative merits of classical and modern culture. Of this discussion, a most important fruit was G. B. Vico’s De nostri temporis studiorum ratione ... . In its homeland, Vico’s De nostri, perhaps the most brilliant defense of the humanities ever written, has for some decades now held the rank of an educational classic.” Also issued in paper. *,LC,UTL

Angela of Foligno (1248-1309) was a penitent, and a mystical writer. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “M arried at an early age, she loved the world and its pleasures and, worse still, forgetful of her dignity and duties as wife and mother, fell into sin and led a disorderly life. But God, having in His mercy inspired her with a deep sorrow for her sins, led her little by little to the height of perfection and to the understanding of the deepest mysteries. Angela has herself recorded the history of her conversion in her admirable “Book of Visions and Instructions”, which contains seventy chapters, and was written from Angela’s dictation by her Franciscan confessor, Father Arnold of Foligno.” The 1536 edition was a translation into Italian from the Latin.

Bibliography 1966 his autobiography in 1863. His death in 1866 cut short the narrative, though Vincent states that d’Azeglio never intended to carry the work as far as his entry into the Piedmontese Government in 1849. Vincent notes: “D’Azeglio’s life (17981866) spans a fascinating period in the history of Italy and Europe: childhood under Napoleon in Turin and Tuscany; youth as an art-student in and around Papal Rome; maturity in the artistic circles of Austrian M ilan; middle age as Prime M inister of an independent Piedmont. His experience of society was equally varied. A member of one of the ancient Piedmontese noble families, he could converse easily with kings, Popes, and Princes. At the same time, as one of the classless fraternity of artists, he was on familiar terms with peasants, inn-keepers, adventurers and bandits. Although a rebel against the conventions in which he had been brought up, he held moderate liberal views in politics. Having won a wide popularity through his patriotically inspired novels, he was known to all and seemed chosen by fate to lead Italians to the liberal-monarchical solution of their constitutional problems. He who witnessed the birth-pangs of the new Italy was not the least of her accoucheurs.” His first wife was Giulietta, eldest daughter of Alessandro M anzoni. John W. Roberts reviewed the translation for the Times Literary Supplement, and notes: “Professor Vincent succeeds admirably in catching the slightly contrived breeziness of the original.” He also comments: “[Azeglio’s] best pages are descriptive and narrative. Some are pen-portraits of men as different as his father, a figure of impeccable rectitude and chivalry, and the peasants of the Roman countryside. Some are observations of groups: restoration Turin provides one of his best subjects, but he traverses also the vie de Bohème of the Roman art students and the melodramatic atmosphere of the secret societies. It is the vividness of such observations which makes these memoirs the most readable of any by nineteenthcentury statesmen.” This translation was prepared from the text revised by A. M . Ghisalberti in 1949 (in the edition published by Feltrinelli in 1963), with some minor omissions. An earlier translation by Andrea M affei was published, as Recollections, in 1868.

6607 BALDINUCCI, Filippo [Vita del cavaliere Gio. Lorenzo Bernini (1682)] The life of Bernini. By Filippo Baldinucci; translated from the Italian by Catherine Enggass; foreword by Robert Enggass. University Park; London: The Pennsylvania State University Press, 1966. [4], v-xviii, [3], 3-117, [1] pp., [8] pp. of plates: ill.; plans, port. The original title page reads: Vita del cavaliere Gio. Lorenzo Bernino, scultore, architetto, e pittore. Scritta da Filippo Baldinucci fiorentino. Alla sacra e reale M aestà di Cristina regina di Svezia. In Firenze, nella Stamperia di Vincenzio Vangelisti. Con licenza de’ Superiori, M DCLXXXII. Robert Enggass writes: “Filippo Baldinucci’s biography is

295 our principal source for the life of Bernini, the protean genius of Baroque art, who did more than any other man to shape the image of Rome as we see it today. Queen Cristina of Sweden commissioned the book and provided for its publication in 1682, only two years after Bernini’s death. That she chose as her author none of the art critics, theorists, or historians then active in Rome, but Baldinucci from Florence, gives some idea of the prestige this writer was beginning to enjoy in the artistic and literary circles of his day. ... The capstone of Baldinucci’s career is his encyclopedic history of painters, sculptors, and architects, the Notizie de’ professori del disegno da Cimabue in quà, published in six large volumes, the first of which appeared in 1681 and the last, posthumously, in 1728.” This latter work has not been translated into English. The precociously skilful sculptor and architect Bernini (1598-1680), himself the son of a sculptor, was born at Naples. The Thames and Hudson Dictionary of Art and Artists notes: “He was a man of deep faith, and the supreme artist of the Catholic Counter-Reformation. Both as architect and sculptor he dazzled the 17 th c., partly through genius and partly through skill in keeping rivals ... in the background. ... At the height of his fame B. had prophesied the decline of his reputation, a decline that lasted until the present generation. ... B.’s work freed sculpture from the classic concept of a block to be seen from one angle. The vitality of execution, as well as the restless poses of his works, at first demanded a multiple viewpoint, but this tension was often resolved into the clear-cut energy and movement of such a group as Apollo and Daphne. The unclassical involvement of the spectator in his response to the vigour and emotion of such figures show how B. was the seminal genius (and largely the creator) of the Baroque style.” (1985: 41) Also issued in paper; most recently reprinted in 2006.

6608 BELLI, Giuseppe Gioacchino [Sonetti romaneschi (1886-89). Selections. Lowland Scots] Selected poems. By Robert Garioch; with an introduction by Sydney Goodsir Smith. Edinburgh: M. Macdonald, 1966. [6], 7-104 pp. Robert Garioch (1909-1981) belonged to the second wave of the Scottish Renaissance movement which Hugh M acDiarmid initiated in the 1920s. This Selected Poems was the first substantial collection of his poems to be published, though he had himself printed and sold by hand his first pamphlet, Seventeen Poems for Sixpence, as early as 1940. He wrote his poems chiefly in the Lowland Scots dialect which Goodsir Smith calls ‘Edinburry-Leith.’ Some time in the 1940s he met Donald Carne-Ross, who encouraged him to “try Giuseppe Belli’s romanesco in Scots.” The six translations from Belli in Selected Poems were made with the help of Carne-Ross. For additional translations by Garioch (in all, 120 sonnets) see entries under Belli in 1973, 1977, and 1983. For a note on Belli, see entry 6004. Guelph,OCLC,BNB

6610 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [Bucolicum carmen (1351-66?). Selections. English and Latin] Pearl: an English poem of the XIVth century. Edited, with modern rendering, together with Boccaccio’s Olympia, by Sir Israel Gollancz, Litt.D., F.B.A. New York: Cooper Square Publishers, 1966. (The medieval library) [8], ix-lii, [1], 2-285, [1] pp., [7] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims. Gollancz’s translation of Olympia was first published by Chatto & Windus in 1913, and of Pearl by D. Nutt in 1891; the two were combined in the Chatto & Windus edition of 1921 (of which this Cooper Square edition is a reprint). In his introduction to that edition, Gollancz writes: “It is of great interest that soon after 1358, some years before Pearl, Boccaccio wrote an elegy on his young daughter Violante— the Latin eclogue Olympia. There is no clear evidence that this most charming of Boccaccio’s shorter poems was known to our poet, or was one of his sources of inspiration. Olympia, however, may well be considered as a companion poem, of the highest interest and fascination both intrinsically and for the purposes of comparative study.” Both poems are dream visions. Gollancz persuaded his friend, the pre-Raphaelite painter William Holman Hunt to portray Pearl, and this painting is reproduced as the frontispiece to the Chatto edition. Gollancz also prints the Latin and his translation of extracts from letters by Boccaccio to Petrarch, and to M artin da Signa, concerning the poem and his daughter: “By Olympia I mean my little daughter, who died at an age at which, as we believe, those who die become the citizens of heaven. And so for Violante, as she was named when living, I call her now Olympia— the angelic.” OCLC,Trent

Odorico da Pordenone’s The Eastern Parts of the World Described is based on the manuscript Bibliothèque Nationale, lat. 2584, which bears the title Descriptio Orientalium Partium Fratris Odorici Boemi de Foro Julii Provinciæ Sancti Antonii, also printed in volume II. Yule also examined other Latin, and French and Italian manuscripts, together with printed editions. Odorico, a Franciscan, set out on his travels some time between 1316 and 1318. He was in Western India soon after 1321, and spent three of the years between 1322 and 1328 in Northern China. He returned early in 1330, and died in January 1331. See also entry 0291. The third volume includes letters and reports by the Franciscan known as John of M onte Corvino (ca. 1247-ca. 1328), by Andrew of Perugia, Bishop of Zayton in Southern China, written in 1326, by Friar Jordanus, a Dominican, possibly of Portuguese origin, and by Pascal, a Spanish Franciscan. There follows a notice of Cathay under the M ongols by Rashid al-Din Tabib, notices of the land route to Cathay and of Asiatic trade in the first half of the 14 th century by Francesco Balducci Pegalotti of Florence, and Recollections of Travel in the East, by Giovanni M arignolli.

The editors write: “... it would seem that The Orcherd was prepared for the benefit of the first generation of Bridgettine nuns at Syon Abbey [at Isleworth, 11 miles west of London]. The foundation stone of this abbey was laid by Henry V on 22 February 1415, the first professions made in 1420. ... The problem of the authorship and of the first recipients remains unsolved ... . It is certain, however, that for the community at Syon the translation was set in its allegorical framework, arranged in seven parts with five chapters divided into subsections in each part, ‘xxxv aleyes’ in which the sisters might walk, and given its punning title. The mystical significance of the sevenfold and fivefold divisions and the double meaning of The Orcherd of Syon would escape no medieval reader.” The first printed edition of The Orcherd of Syon appeared in 1519, the work of Wynkyn de Worde.

6615 CAVALCANTI, Guido [Poems. Selections] Ezra Pound’s Cavalcanti poems. London: Faber and Faber; [New York: New Directions], c1966. [10], 9-105, [3] pp. A limited edition of 190 copies, signed by Pound. The Fisher Library copy is no. 164. The young Ezra Pound declared himself an apprentice to “Ser Guido of Florence, master of us all,” and in 1910, after a visit to Italy, he began to translate Cavalcanti’s poems. His versions were published in 1912 in a bilingual edition. This luxury reprint includes the translations only, which, with the exception of ‘Donna mi prega,’ were not revised by Pound. A review of the original edition by John Cann Bailey, for the Times Literary Supplement, compared Pound’s translations unfavourably with those of Dante Gabriel Rossetti in the Dent Everyman’s Library edition of Rossetti’s Poems and Translations, also published in 1912. Bailey wrote: “A great deal of work has been done on Cavalcanti and the poets of his day since Rossetti’s time, and M r. Pound, of course, has the advantage of it and is able to set Rossetti right more than once. But Rossetti was a great poet, and perhaps a still greater translator; and besides, he was the son of an Italian poet and scholar. These are advantages with which Mr. Pound cannot compete. He is sometimes clumsy, and often obscure, and has no fine tact about language, ... . But it is no disgrace to have fallen below Rossetti, though a reviewer is bound to warn readers that where Rossetti exists [he translated fewer poems than Pound] the lover of poetry must not accept the substitute of M r. Pound.” It is fascinating to read these words more than ninety years later. OCLC,RBSC

Translated with an introduction by Bernard Murchland. New York: Frederick Ungar Publishing Co., c1966. (Milestones of thought) [4], v-xx, [4], 3-103, [3] pp. Lotario di Segni, Pope Innocent III (1160 or 61-1216)

wrote his pessimistic treatise (of which Books I and II are translated here) before he was elected to the papacy in 1198. Giannozzo M anetti (1396-1459) wrote his treatise De dignitate et excellentia hominis to counter the arguments of Innocent’s work (Book IV has been translated for this edition). It was completed in 1452, first printed in 1532, and condemned by the Inquisition in 1584. In his introduction, M urchland writes: “history has ... confronted man with a choice: he may either pursue the path of self-identity, meaning, and wholeness; or, on the other hand, he may continue to stumble through the ‘unending labyrinths’ of destruction and alienation. The voices of Innocent III and M anetti are perennially relevant because they represent two views of man that constitute, in the final analysis, the ultimate alternatives of moral choice.” OCLC,UTL

The documents, most of which have been translated into English for the first time for this collection, are grouped under the general headings “Art and the cultured public,” “Documents on art and artists,” “M id-century Venetian art criticism,” “ Vasari,” “Art theory in the second half of the century,” “The Counter-Reformation,” “Artists, amateurs, and collectors,” and “On beauty.” The editors comment: “The original texts have very different origins, and the language changes considerably from one to another. But one feels a general difficulty of expression. In the elaborate texts, the aesthetic and critical termonology, which is borrowed for the most part from poetry or rhetoric, is often so inadequate that it obviously does not correspond to the author’s meaning. Artists, on the other hand, who usually wrote fast and carelessly, left texts which would make no sense if literally translated, We have in all cases preferred to give a clear meaning which we believe to be implied by the text than to be faithful to the frequent confusion of the original. The reader will find himself confronted with sufficient obscurities in any case.” Issued in paper; reissued in 1989 by Northwestern University Press. KSM ,USL,UTL

A reprint of the first English edition, edited and published in 1928 by Cyril W. Beaumont for The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing. Beaumont writes: “This book which, to the best of my knowledge, is now reprinted for the first time, is one of the rarest works on dancing. ... Part I. contains a decorative title-page ... five pages of text and fifty plates, engraved throughout. The text consists of the author’s foreword in German and Italian, a brief description of the work in the same languages, and an Italian version of the directions engraved on each plate. Part II., which is excessively rare, contains a decorative title-page and fifty-one plates, engraved throughout. There is no text save that engraved on the plates. ... I have been unable to glean any information regarding the author, Gregorio Lambranzi, beyond what he tells us himself; namely that he was a Venetian maître de ballet. Obviously he lived during the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries, and it is clear from this work that he must have been gifted with a lively imagination and a considerable creative ability, and risen to eminence in his profession.” Engraved title: Neue und Curiuse theatralische Tanz-Schul.

The sections from the Discourses translated by Donno are: Book one: ii-iv, x-xii; Book two: ii; Book three: xxi, xli. Donno writes: “The individual selections from [the Discourses] which appear in this volume were chosen primarily on the basis of two criteria — for their representative qualities and for the contrasts they provide to the ideas developed in The Prince. Those dealing largely with military problems, however, have been omitted entirely, since they are not likely to be of interest to the modern reader. On the other hand, representative discourses setting forth M achiavelli’s views concerning religion and his views concerning republics have been included. Thus the volume may fairly claim to include all that is vital and characteristic in M achiavelli’s political thought.” Issued in paper. *,LC

Concerning the translations selected, Bergin writes: “... there has been one simple criterion: the poetic excellence of the version. I have not been too much concerned with the purely literal— after all, the content of what Petrarch has to give us is very often not the point— rather it is the manner, the tone, the poetic vibration he can set up within us. Occasionally, of course, I have discarded an appealing candidate because it contained a downright howler or gave evidence that the translator had misinterpreted the poet’s thought. But normally my simple test has been: Does the translation faithfully reproduce the poetic effect of the original? Or— and it must be

The character of Alidoro, in Ferretti’s version a philosopher and tutor of the Prince, has become also a magician and makes the awaited transformation of Cinderella into a dazzling lady of nobility and of a pumpkin into a coach.

Detroit: Wayne State University Press, 1966. [6], 7-219, [1] pp. Arcadia, written in Italian, is given in English prose and verse translation only; the Piscatorial Eclogues are given in Latin with parallel English prose translation. Sannazaro, or Sannazzaro (1458-1530) was a Neapolitan poet and courtier from a noble family. Ernest Hatch Wilkins writes that: “he spent most of his life [in Naples] in the faithful service of the House of Aragon, until that House fell in 1501. The he chose to share the French exile of his king; but when Frederick died, three years later, Sannazzaro returned to Naples, where he lived quietly in his villa by the shore.” (1954: 169). Arcadia was his most successful work. Hatch Wilkins writes: “This romance — the first pastoral romance since Boccaccio’s Ameto, to which it owes its general form and labored style — consists of twelve chapters of prose and twelve poems, in various meters. ... Its gentle idyllicism, largely a mosaic of elements drawn from Virgil, Ovid, Theocritus, and other classic poets, palls on the modern reader; but it found an eager welcome in Sannazzaro’s own day. ... Its influence was immediate in France, Spain, and Portugal. Sidney turned to it for the title and some of the matter of his own Arcadia. And the explorer Verrazzano [see entry 3744] gave the name Arcadia to the Virginian coast.” (1954: 169-170). The Piscatorial Eclogues

Aretino’s literary gift was that he could always find the style and vocabulary that best suited the subject; he was equally effective when he penned a grandiloquent tribute to the Empress or wrote one of the many short, incisive squibs which put much matter into two or three sentences. He did more and more of the latter, and his letters grew shorter and shorter, as he grew older. ... Here are 262 of Pietro’s three or four thousand letters translated from his tangy, slangy Cinquecento colloquial Italian into English. It is my belief that there will be many who will enjoy them.

([6], vii-lviii, [4], 3-273, [1]; [7], 2-312, [2] pp.) A reprint of the edition published in London by Nott in 1898, which was based on the original edition of 1567 (making it contemporary with Painter’s translations in The Palace of Pleasure; for which, see 1929, etc.). Fenton’s version of Bandello was also published in 1923 in London by Routledge and in New York by Dutton as Tragical Tales. At that time a reviewer wrote: “Fenton’s translation of Bandello is one of the most notable surviving specimens of that flood of Italian translations which filled the bookshops of the time. It appeared first in 1567, and that drastic plundering soon began by which the poets obtained the material for many of their greatest plays. ... Fenton is not by any means a great translator, but he has unbounded energy, and, though his periods are those more appropriate to oratory than to descriptive narrative, he does in certain passages catch the swiftness of dramatic action. He was, of course, playing an untuned instrument, for at that time prose narrative had not nearly attained the competence, and still less the excellence, of narrative in verse.” The original title page states that the discourses were “written oute of Frenche and Latin,” rather than translated directly from Italian.

(Renaissance text series; 1) [4], v-ix, [3], 3-276, [2] pp.: facsim. Latin text with parallel English translation. In his review for the Renaissance Quarterly (Winter, 1971), M orris Saffron notes: “Few episodes in Renaissance history have attracted more interest or have been more throughly documented than the rash and abortive expedition into Italy of Charles VIII of France. From that day in early September 1494, when the youthful king first arrived at Asti, until his humiliating flight from the battlefield on the following July 6, agents and envoys of the Italian city-states, the papacy, the emperor, the sultan, and other foreign powers compiled detailed reports of every move made by Charles and his ill-fated army.” One of those accounts was by the Venetian Alessandro Benedetti (ca. 1450-1512), who was a physician, anatomist, and medical writer, a traveller and travel writer, and a philologist. He was also, Saffron writes: “a keen observer who was actually on the scene at Fornovo and Novara when the retreating French were making their desperate attempt to escape encirclement by the combined forces of the League.” The ‘new’ disease which eventually came to be known as syphilis also attacked the invading army, particularly during its three months occupation of Naples, but Benedetti, despite professional knowledge of the disease, barely mentions it in his report to his friends in Venice. Charles VIII himself died of syphilis a few years later in 1498, at the age of twenty-eight. The text is prefaced with two Latin poems by Quinzio Emiliano Cimbriaco (Giovanni Stefano Emiliano, ca. 1449-ca. 1496), with English prose translation. CRRS,LC,UTL

Bibliography 1967 verses used by Chaucer are translated in full, the remainder are summarised. The original edition was in a landscape format; the reprint is bound along the head of the landscape page. Rossetti notes that the Troylus has a total of 8246 lines, of which 2730 (condensed into 2583) are adapted from the Filostrato. The balance of 5663lines is due to Chaucer alone. “Of course, however, even in these two-thirds Chaucer’s poem often follows the same general current as Boccaccio’s; and some moderate deduction should be made for lines for which the Englishman is indebted to other authors — Boëthius, Dante, and Petrarca, in especial.” M AS,OCLC

Harmondsworth; Baltimore; Ringwood, Victoria: Penguin Books, 1967. (Penguin classics; L192) [8], 9-361, [1] pp. Bull writes: “I lack ... the excuse for translating The Courtier given by Hoby [the Elizabethan translator, whose version is still in print], namely, that he had waited in vain for this to be done by someone ‘of a more perfect understanding in the tongue, and better practised in the matter of the booke ...’ And whether an attempt to put The Courtier into fairly informal but decorous modern English, aiming above all at readability, is justified, is for the reader to decide. The Italian edition I have

313 used is that of Vittorio Cian (Florence, 1947) which is also the basis for many of my brief notes on the text and the characters.” Cecil H. Clough, who reviewed Bull’s translation for the Times Literary Supplement, points out that Cian’s edition is inadequate, and that Bull would have been better advised to turn to Maier’s complete Italian edition of 1955. Clough also comments: “In Castiglione’s original his characters speak with individuality and a personality that we can recognize from their words, but this is quite lost in M r. Bull’s translation. The closer to the heart one goes, the more one appreciates that modern English idiom will distort the work by transferring back sentiments and aspirations of today. For the flavour of Castiglione’s allusions and jokes we have to be a part of the author’s circle.” Issued in paper; reprinted with revisions in 1976. M ichigan,OCLC,UTL

The original colophon reads: Here end the treatises of Benvenuto Cellini on metal work and sculpture, made into English from the Italian of the M arcian codex by C. R. Ashbee, printed by him at the Guild’s Press at Essex House, with the assistance of Lawrence Hodson who sought to keep living the tradition of good printing refounded by William M orris, the master craftsman, and likewise of T. Binning & J. Tippett, compositors, and S. M owlem, pressman, who came to Essex House from the Kelmscott Press to that end. Begun April, 1898; finished October, 1898. Ashbee writes: “Cellini’s graphic touch, which gives their manifold brilliancy to the varying passages of that wonderful autobiography, is equally evident in the treatises. But this very vividness increases the translator’s difficulty. The book is full of amusing workshop pictures and anecdotes; but it is always a workshop book. Cellini sees each process before him as he describes it, we, however, only hear the description, we do not

A worke adorned with varietie of matter, both pleasant and profitable: wherein those that please may finde to fit their fancies: Because herein, by the office of the eie and the eare, the mind may reape dooble-delighte throughe holsome preceptes, shadowed with pleasant devises: both fit for the vertuous, to their incoraging; and for the wicked, for their admonishing and amendment. Imprinted at Leyden, in the House of Christopher Plantyn, by Francis Raphelengius. 1586. The facsimile is followed by Green’s Essays Literary and Bibliographical illustrative of Whitney’s Emblems, with Explanatory Notes. Of the 248 emblems, 202 are identical with the emblems of Andrea Alciati, Gabriele Faerne (Gabriello Faerno, d. 1561), Claude Paradin, and others, 23 are suggested by previous emblem writers, and 23 are original. The Latin poems are added by Whitney. Scott (1916: 471) comments: “They prove Geoffrey Whitney to have been a modest and learned man thoroughly at home with his subject. As many of the poems are addressed to historical personages, either Whitney’s kinsmen or friends, or some distinguished contemporary, the collection is a storehouse of information about people, places and things Elizabethan.” See also reprints by other publishers in 1969 and 1971.

The reprint is issued bound with Portuguese Folk-Tales, by Pedroso Consiglieri. Comparetti (1835-1927) is best known in the English-speaking world for his Virgilio nel Medio Evo (1872), Vergil in the Middle Ages (see entry 2919). The Book of Sindibad is a collection of Oriental tales (probably Indian) popularized in the Middle Ages through the 14th -century French verse Romance Roman des Sept Sages, The Seven Sages of Rome. The Reader’s Encyclopedia (1965: 918) notes: “A jealous stepmother tells her husband the king that his son is trying to seduce her, and the prince is condemned to death. For seven days the queen and the boy’s seven wise teachers alternate in telling the king tales, the queen urging him that the prince is a dangerous rival, the sages demonstrating the untrustworthiness of women. Finally the prince, who has been silent for seven days, reveals the whole truth, and the queen is burned at the stake.” A misogynistic collection with obvious links to The Arabian Nights’ Entertainments, and to the story of Theseus, king of Athens, his son Hippolytus, and the boy’s stepmother, Phaedra (with a somewhat different outcome).

A reprint of the edition published by the Hakluyt Society in 1892. The title of the English edition of 1664 is The Travels of Pietro della Valle, a noble Roman, into East-India and ArabiaDeserta, in which several countries, together with the Custome, Manners, Traffiques, and Rites both Religious and Civil of those Oriental Princes and Nations, are faithfully described: In Familiar Letters to his Friend Signior Mario Schipano. Pietro della Valle was born into a wealthy and distinguished Roman family, received a good education, and was admitted to a new Roman scientific and literary society, the Academy of the Umoristi. Little is known about his early life. He was already in his mid-twenties when he entered military service, and in 1611 participated in a Spanish expedition against Barbary pirates, though he regarded the engagements in which he took part “rather as skirmishes than fights.” Grey notes, in his Introduction: “Subsequently, owing to a disappointment in a love affair, he went to Naples, and assumed the habit of a pilgrim and the title of ‘Pellegrino’, which he ever afterwards added to his signature.” His friend in Naples M ario Schipano, a professor of medicine, advised him to travel to the East, and on 8 June 1614 he sailed from Venice for Constantinople, having vowed to see the Holy Land. And see the Holy Land he did — as well as Alexandria, Cairo, Damascus, Aleppo, and Baghdad. He spent four years in Persia, then moved on and spent two years in India, based at Surat and Goa. In 1625 he started out on

his return journey by way of M uscat, Basra, and Aleppo. He arrived at Rome on 28 M arch 1626, after a ‘pilgrimage’ of almot twelve years. All this time he had been recording his experiences and sending long letters back to his friend Schipano. Remarkably, only one of his fifty-four letters went missing. In 1616 Della Valle fell in love with and married a beautiful young Syrian Christian called M aani. She travelled and lived with him for the next five years, but died near Shiraz, Persia. Pietro determined to bring her body back for a Christian burial in Italy, so M aani was embalmed as well as could be managed, and travelled with him for the remaining four years of his journey, sometimes of necessity hidden covered with clothes in the bottom of a large leather trunk. His wife had befriended a Georgian orphan Maria Tinatin (M ariuccia) who became his ward and accompanied him into India and eventually back to Italy, where she became his second wife, and bore him many sons. Della Valle lived the rest of his life in Rome, where he had friends, and was appointed honorary chamberlain to Pope Urban VIII. LC,UTL

A reprint of the Constable and Knopf edition of 1925 (seen). A treatise in four books in the form of a dialogue, set in Casale Monferrato, between Annibale M agnocavalli, a doctor in the city, and Guglielmo Guazzo, brother of the author, and a courtier in the service of Lodovico Gonzaga. The first three books deal with the uses of conversation, good and bad conversation, rules for conversation between different classes of people, and within the family, for example between husband and wife, father and son, brother and brother, and master and servant. The fourth book presents an example of civil conversation, presented by Annibale, and observed at a banquet with ten guests, six lords and four ladies, for Vespasiano Gonzaga. The word ‘conversazione’ meant ‘an evening party’ as well as ‘conversation’. Guazzo’s main themes are manners, and behaviour in society. He sees a most important function of conversation as a basic element of social and economic life, in particular in the interactions between the rich and powerful and those who might benefit by serving them. Guazzo (1530-1593) was a courtier and ambassador whose noble family had served the dukes of M antua and M onferrato for generations. He, like his brother, spent many years in the service of Lodovico Gonzaga. He wrote Latin and Italian poetry, letters, and dialogues, of which La civil conversatione is the best known, being translated into Dutch, English, French, German, Latin, and Spanish. Unlike the nostalgic Castiglione, he is more interested in social reality than in appearances, and his concerns are more practical than theoretical. Shakespeare has been shown to be considerably indebted to Guazzo, more so than to Castiglione in Hoby’s translation. In his review of the 1925 edition for the Times Literary Supplement, Hugh l’Anson Fausset commented: “The quality which distinguishes Guazzo’s ‘Civil Conversation’ from Castiglione’s ‘Courtier’ is its more representative character. It refers in places to Court life, of which no one was better equipped than Guazzo to report, since he had served as an Ambassador in several countries. But he was too broad a humanist to enjoy such a life — ‘You know wel,’ he wrote of princes, ‘that in their companie a man cannot utter his mind freely’; and when he wrote his treatise he turned to a less specialized and artificial type, to what we should now call the cultivated middle class, ‘minding to speake in particular, of the manners of conversation meete for all sortes of people.’ It was only in the fourth book, composed on a different plan, and with a new set of characters, that a more exclusive society is portrayed; and it was possibly for this reason that Pettie left it to be rendered by another. For on the testimony of his style Pettie was neither a snob nor a pedant.” LC,UTL

6747 LOREDANO, Giovanni Francesco [L’Adamo (1640)] The life of Adam (1640): a facsimile reproduction of the English translation of 1659. By Giovanni Francesco Loredano; with an introduction by Roy C. Flannagan with John Arthos. Gainesville, Florida: Scholars’ Facsimiles & Reprints, 1967. [4], v-xxi, [12], 2-86, [2] pp.: ill.; port. The original title page reads: The Life of Adam. Written in Italian by Giovanni Francesco Loredano, a Venetian nobleman; and renderd into English by J. S. London, printed for Humphrey M osely, and are to be sold at his shop, at the Prince’s Arms in S. Paul’s churchyard. 1659. Loredano (1606-1651) was a prolific author (he wrote a biography of Giambattista M arino, a life of Pope Alexander III, a saint’s life, a compilation of jokes and witticisms, a collection of model letters, a contemplative work on the Psalms, and several historical romances, of which L’Adamo is an example), and was active in the political life of Venice. He founded the Accademia degli Ignoti in 1630. M ilton visited Venice in 1638, when Loredano would have been working on L’Adamo, and the two had mutual friends. M osely, the publisher of this translation, was also the publisher of M ilton’s Poems ... both English and Latin of 1645. L’Adamo is at least an analogue, and a possible source for Paradise Lost.

6748 MACHIAVELLI, Niccolò [Works. Selections] Machiavelli. With an introduction by Henry Cust. New York: AMS Press, 1967. [(Tudor translations; no. 39-40)] 2 v. (356; 422 pp.) This compilation was first published in 1905, as nos. 39-40 in the first series of Tudor translations, by Nutt, London. The first volume includes The Art of War, translated by Peter Whitehorne (fl. 1543-1563) and published in 1560, and The Prince, translated by Edward Dacres, published in 1640; the second volume contains The Florentine History, translated by Thomas Bedingfield (d. 1613), and published in 1595. J. R. Thursfield reviewed the 1905 edition for the Times Literary Supplement. He wrote: “The so-called Tudor translations — ‘The Prince,’ it appears, was not translated until 1640 — are welcome, not only because they give us M achiavelli more or less in the style and spirit of his own time, but because in this goodly edition they are preceded by an informing Introduction from the pen of M r. Henry Cust. ... his Introduction is well-informed, well-balanced, catholic and humane in judgment, and withal very brightly written.” Thursfield’s conclusion on Machiavelli was: “Take him for all in all, he was

in no sense a bad man, though his counsels interpreted in the terms of any age would always make more bad men than good. Rather he was a man of lofty ideals and generous aspirations who might have been just as good as the harshest of his censors if he had not lived in an age in which goodness had ceased to exist.” Cust, in his introduction, writes: “He has been accused of no treachery, of no evil action. His patriotism for Italy as a fatherland, a dream undreamt by any other, never glowed more brightly than when Italy lay low in shame, and ruin, and despair. His faith never faltered, his spirit never shrank. And the Italy that he saw, through dark bursts of storm, broken and sinking, we see to-day riding in the sunny havens where he would have her to be.” LC,OCLC

6749 MANCINI, Giambattista [Pensieri e riflessioni pratiche sopra il canto figurato (1774, 1777)] Practical reflections on figured singing.

Foreman writes: “Very little is known of his life before 1760, when he was called to Vienna as royal singing master to the Imperial Court. His fame and excellence must have been known and appreciated widely to have been picked for a position which carried so much honor, and which was so widely sought. ... Among his students, M ancini numbered many renowned dilletantes [sic], and the Princess of Parma and the Archduchess Elizabeth were especially noted for their trills, portamentos and suavely executed passages of agility.” An earlier English translation, by Pietro Buzzi, was published in 1912.

He notes: “Naturally, the favorite passages, as indicated by recent Italian editions, and the passages most frequently discussed by historians and critics have been included. ... M arino’s original outline according to one of his earliest references to a plan for the treatment of the Adonis story— then plotted in three cantos— was to present the matter as follows: first, the meeting of the goddess and the youth and their falling in love; second, their enjoyment of their love; and third, the hunt, the death of Adonis, and the grief of Venus. These aspects of the basic story are represented here almost in their entirety.” Priest also selects sections to illustrate the “extraordinary variety of the material which M arino added to the simple plot, since the character of the poem is strongly marked by this strange and wondrous panorama.” ERI,LC,M ichigan

Bibliography 1967 [3], iv-xxi, [3], 3-329, [1] pp., [1] folded leaf of plates: ill.; maps. Carlo Gaetano Samuele M azzuchelli (1806-1864) was born in M ilan. He became a Dominican novice in 1823, took up residence in Rome in 1825. He obtained his superiors’ permission to become a missionary in the New World, and landed in New York in 1828. In 1830 he was ordained by Edward Fenwick, the first bishop of Cincinnati, and was sent to M ackinac Island, off the edge of the northern M ichigan peninsula, with his parish boundaries the M ississippi River on the west and Lake Huron on the east. He was to become the builder of the Catholic Church in Wisconsin. Bishop Shannon writes: “At Mackinac he found what was to be a typical congregation through much of his missionary career: a hodgepodge of Indians, traders, trappers and their half-breed families, people who lived harsh lives and to whom Christianity, with its mixture of austerity and elevation, did not easily recommend itself. On M ackinac too he found himself confronted with Protestant missioner (Presbyterians, in this instance), and this encounter, in one form or another, was also to be a permanent condition of his apostolate. ... Until 1839, when Mathias Loras, the first bishop of Dubuque, arrived, Father M azzuchelli was the only priest for hundreds of miles in any direction. And even after that date, his relentless pace did not slacken. I suppose some might think it ironic that the pioneers were welcomed to what would some day be the states of Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin by the Dominican priest from Lombardy, who had proved himself a hardier pioneer than any of them.” M azzuchelli went back to M ilan for a holiday and a rest in 1843, and there he wrote his memoir. He retuned to Wisconsin in 1844, and worked there until he died of pneumonia in 1864.

Dati’s memoir is Il libro segreto di Gregorio Dati, probably completed around 1428, and published in a critical edition edited by C. Gargiolli in Bologna in 1869. Pitti’s Cronaca was published in Florence in 1720, and in an annotated edition edited by A. Bacchi della Lega in Bologna in 1905. Both memoirs have been abridged in this translation. Brucker writes: “The memoirs of Buonaccorso Pitti and Gregorio Dati are notable examples of a common literary form in Renaissance Florence. M ore than one hundred private diaries or ricordanze written between the fourteenth and the sixteenth centuries survive in the State Archives and libraries, and in the possession of noble families. The literary and historical interest of these memoirs vary widely, but some — like the writings translated here — throw light upon both the public and the private dimensions of the Florentine experience. These Tuscan memoirs constitute one of the largest collections of private diaries in Europe before the French began to develop this form in the sixteenth century. They deserve study, therefore, as an early and important chapter in the history of that peculiarly European genre, the autobiography.” Issued in paper. CRRS,LC,USL

(Oxford medieval texts) [11], x-xxxviii, [3], 4-268 pp. The editors note: “Among those present at Basle was ... the author of [this] work. Not quite twenty years later, on 18 January 1459, the man who in the present book evinced an ebullient support for conciliarism issued, as Pope Pius II, the bull Execrabilis. This (which we may regard as ending the conciliar effort of earlier generations) declared it anathema to appeal to a future council. His own mot commenting on his change of heart was the advice: ‘abandon Aeneas, follow Pius.’ ... In view of the author’s later change of heart, the reader of the Commentaries on the Council of Basle inevitably asks himself if it was a piece of propaganda, undertaken merely in the hope of securing promotion for Aeneas and devoid of conviction. It is thus a further test of the consistency of Aeneas’s whole career, with its sharp contrasts and illogicalities. Perhaps the fairest way of viewing the man is to see him as one of those personalities who readily assume the colour and the convictions of a given time and place. Just as circumstances during his student days in Tuscany when he was in his early manhood put him in touch with a world of new cultural and literary values to which he entirely responded, so among the zealots of conciliarism he became a conciliarist, and so when he entered a papal career under Nicholas V he was gradually persuaded of the essential correctness of the papal point of view. ... What he never lost was a love of writing. His pen never left his hand. As time passed his style became racier until he achieved complete self-expression and complete mastery, whether he was writing a prayer, composing a bull, or setting down the unedifying events in the conclave which made him pope.” LC,UTL

Parente notes: “The translation itself came, really, as a second thought, under the pressure of the publishers. Our chief interest was the original Latin text with its charming, but often ungrammatical style. We have endeavored to correct some of the many traditional misprints, and to point out what is spurious, what is authentic, and what remains still dubious in the Latin text. ... In favor and in praise of the doctors of the Regimen Sanitatis, is the fact that they did not regard man as a sort of test tube, but as u human individual with a living body and a rational soul, a person with heart and mind, whose feelings and emotions have a great deal to do with his physical health. Those golden rules given at the very beginning of the Regimen ... represent a practical wisdom which our scientific age is beginning, only now, to reassert after a long period of neglect or disdain, speaking, as they do, of psychosomatic care of the sick.” See also entry 5932.

SARPI, Paolo [Trattato delle materie beneficiarie (1675); Istoria del Concilio Tridentino (1619). Selections] History of benefices; and selections from History of the Council of Trent. Sarpi; newly translated, edited, and with an introduction by Peter Burke. New York: Washington Square Press, 1967. (The great histories series) [8], ix-xlvi, [2], 3-322 pp. The Venetian theologian, scientist and historian Pietro Sarpi (1552-1623), who took the name Paolo when he became a Servite, was a precocious student who entered the order at thirteen and soon became one of its leading figures. He was only twenty-seven when he was elected provincial of his order, and thirty-two when he was sent to Rome as its procurator-general. He returned to Venice and a life of study in 1588, but in 1606 Pope Paul V laid Venice under interdict and the Senate appointed the fifty-four-year-old Sarpi its advisor on theological and jurisdictional matters. From that time on Fra Paolo was a public figure who wrote many legal opinions and directed the pamphlet war between Venice and the papacy. He was excommunicated during the interdict, and survived an attempt on his life in 1607, a knife attack which he refers to in one of his letters. Sarpi’s most important work is the Istoria del Concilio Tridentino. This Council of the Catholic Church met intermittently from 1545 to 1563 in reaction to the Protestant Reformation, and signalled the beginning of the Counter Reformation. Its discussions and its conclusions influenced not only the religious and political life but also the arts and the literature of the following period. The Istoria was first published in London, without Sarpi’s knowledge or permission, in 1619, and was soon translated into English, French, German, and Latin. The Trattato delle materie beneficiarie was only published more than fifty years after Sarpi’s death. The translations are based on the edition of Sarpi’s works published by Laterza between 1935 and 1965. Issued in paper. LC,M AS

A brief mention in the Times Literary Supplement notes: “The translation into English ... of Flaminio Scala’s famous collection of fifty early seventeenth-century scenarios will interest students of the theatre. What will fascinate them is how Shakespeare and M olière were able to breathe life into some of the dullest and most impossible of these scenarios.” One must assume, however, that the great commedia companies, from the Gelosi on, would be able to work the same magic in

Bibliography 1967 performance. McKee notes: ”The skill of the Italian players is legendary. Since there were no memorized lines for the actors to speak, a performance of a commedia dell’arte was an exercise of interplay among the actors, as they improvised the dialogue to suit each occasion. A scene which was glossed over one day might well develop into a climactic moment the next. Each player had to sense the mood of that particular audience and be clairvoyant with respect to his colleagues’ intentions so that he could react spontaneously to unforeseen turns in the dialogue. The zannis, too, took advantage of a responsive audience to indulge in a prolonged interlude of comic antics. Yet the whole had to have dramatic coherence; in fact, each performance was a collective tour de force of ingenuity, a demonstration of superb artistry that is rare in the theater.” KSM ,M ichigan,UTL

Sergi, Professor of Anthropology in the University of Rome. Oosterhout: Anthropological Publications, 1967. [5], vi-xii, 1-320 pp.: ill.; diagrams This translation was first published in 1901 in London by The Walter Scott Publishing Co. and in New York by Charles Scribner’s Sons as volume 40 in the Contemporary science series. In his preface to the translation, Sergi writes: “In the English edition the book is less incomplete, richer in anthropological and ethnological documents, and hence more conclusive; it also contains replies to various objections which have been brought forward. This English edition, therefore, is not so much a translation of a work already published as a new book, both in form and arrangement.” Sergi (1841-1936) wrote very widely in the fields of physical anthropology, prehistory, and psychology, with forays into the fields of history and eugenics. Among his publications are Principi di psicologia sulla base delle scienzi sperimentali (1873), and Specie e varietà umane (1893), The Varieties of the Human Species (1894).

Haward commented: “Tosi, like most of the men of his day, is witty and garrulous even when he is most earnest about his subject, and in the very racy contemporary translation he makes capital reading. ... As an editor [M r. Galliard] is a model, the notes which he has supplied on technical Italian terms or on historical personages being always brief and to the point. The charges brought by Tosi, who was himself a singer and composer, against the coloratura singers in 1723 (they were all coloratura singers in those days) consist partly of general statements of incapacity — that they are often ill-educated, for instance, and averse to using their brains over the difficulties of counterpoint or the several varieties of modes — and partly of special indictments. ... Tosi ... has heaps of remedies for improving the florid singers of his day, which he enumerates with humorous vigour and gusto.”

New York: Award Books; London: Tandem Books, 1968. [6], 7-219, [5] pp. Bracciolini (1380-1459) was a humanist, statesman, and historian. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Bracciolini’s contributions to Italian humanism loom large. Perhaps most important for posterity, Bracciolini, under the influence of his friend [Niccolò] Niccoli [ca. 1365-1437], whose enthusiasm for rare manuscripts was contagious, spent a great deal of time searching through French, Swiss, German, Italian, and Burgundian monasteries. The results of his labors were staggering. To his efforts, we owe Lucretius’s De rerum natura, a complete Quintilian, many orations of Cicero, the Silvae of Statius, several comedies by Plautus, and other less essential works. Bracciolini’s many letters, addressed to the most prominent historical and literary figures of his day and often describing in great detail key historical events such as the burning of Jerome of Prague or the personalities of important churchmen, bankers, and statesmen, have proved invaluable to contemporary historians in their efforts to reconstruct life in Bracciolini’s time. ... The work which still attracts scholarly attention is his Historia fiorentina (1476, History of Florence), a history of the city between 1350 and 1455 which continued the long-standing tradition of historiography among the humanists within the Florentine Chancellery and was eventually to influence the even more luminous works in the vernacular by M achiavelli and Guicciardini.” (1979: 73-4) Concerning the Facetiae, Hurwood writes: “we see a barbed, satiric comment on almost every aspect of Renaissance life. Virtually all women are depicted as whores, and all husbands as cuckolds. Doctors, lawyers, priests, and monks appear as scoundrels, fools, or a combination of both. Peasants run the gamut from homely philosopher to raving maniac. The supreme virtue in the eyes of Poggio, however, transcended sex, class, or station in life. It was to possess a witty tongue which enabled one to be absolute

Parris writes: “From its Italian title, one might conclude that [Brancaccio di Carpino’s book] was no more than a diary kept in prison, but only Part II deals specifically with that and there the author admits to having added material ‘which it was not possible to include at the time’. For the most part, it consists of memoirs written in 1899 of the events leading up to the capture of Palermo by Garibaldi, and events following that capture, including the battle of M ilazzo which completed the conquest of Sicily. The present title is therefore a more accurate description of the contents than the original one. ...

Parmalee writes: “The breadth of [Lombroso’s] treatment of the subject of crime is nowhere illustrated better than in the present volume, in which a large number of the complex causes of crime are discussed.” In his preface, addressed to M ax Nordau (1849-1923), the social critic and Zionist, Lombroso writes: “To you, as the ablest and best beloved of my brothers in arms, I dedicate this book. In it I attempt by means of facts to answer those who, not having read my “Criminal M an” (of which it is a necessary complement), nor the works of Pelmann, Kurella, Van Hamel, Salillas, Ellis, Bleuler, and others, accuse my school of having neglected the economic and social causes of crime, and of having confined itself to the study of the born criminal, thus teaching that the criminal is riveted irrevocably to his destiny, and that humanity has no escape from his atavistic ferocity. ... But the truth is that, while the old jurists had nothing to propose for the prevention of crime more efficacious than the cruel and sterile empiricism of the prison and deportation system, and while the most practical peoples have arrived at good results only sporadically and as the chance outcome of unsystematic groupings, my school has devised a new strategic of proceeding against crime, based upon a study of its ætiology and nature.” LC,UTL

Arnold and Fortune provide free translations of 39 of M onteverdi’s letters, chiefly those to Alessandro Striggio (1536 or 7-1592), his librettist for Orfeo. They note: “It is rare for a composer before the later eighteenth century to leave behind any substantial evidence of his life and character. M onteverdi is happily an exception. At least 120 of his letters survive, in addition to the formal documents that normally form the raw material for the biography of a musician of that time. M oreover, many of these letters are fascinating. Some were written in heat to a former employer whom he considered to have been unappreciative of his merits; some were written under stress when his elder son was thrown into prison; others are business letters in which he shows a shrewd and practical approach to his art. Between them they provide a vivid picture of the man.” For a full translation of M onteverdi’s correspondence, see 1980. CRRS,LC,M USI

[6], vii-xii, [2], 3-65, [2], 2-161, [1] pp., [1] leaf of plates: facsim. Diekstra comments: “The work is dedicated to the consolation and edification of Azzo di Correggio, tyrant of Parma, a figure with an abominable historical record but whose colourful life must have attracted Petrarch, who obviously saw in him more than a common adventurer. ... Petrarch is mostly hailed as the first humanist. It would therefore be tempting to deduce that the English adaptor of Petrarch regarded his effort as a tribute to Humanism in England. But it is in fact a work like the De Remediis which serves as a reminder of the many ties with which Petrarch was still bound to the M iddle Ages. He has the adventurousness of the modern when he resolves on making the ascent of M ont Ventoux, but when he reaches the top, he starts reading his copy of St. Augustine’s Confessions and in typically medieval fashion reflects on the vanity of worldly desires.” Sherman M . Kuhn, in his review for Speculum (v. 47, no. 1 (Jan. 1972)) notes: “There is really very little of Petrarch in the work of the M iddle English redactor, as Diekstra points out in his introduction and as his parallel texts of the Latin and the M iddle English on facing pages clearly demonstrate. ... The paradoxes and word play of the original are generally ignored. The M E writer is not funny, even unconsciously; in fact, his approach to misfortune is sober, restrained, rather conventional, and pretty much in the mediaeval tradition. M any of Petrarch’s classical allusions and anecdotes are discarded in favor of

Acharisio; con ispositioni di molti luoght di Dante, del Petrarca, e del Boccaccio (Cento, 1543). Le ricchezze della lingua volgare (Venice, 1543) was the work of Francesco Alunno. The Welshman Thomas was educated at Oxford, and spent some years in Italy, at Bologna, and Padua. In 1549 he was clerk of the Council to Edward VI, and was later granted by King Edward a prebend of St. Paul’s, and the living of Presthend, in South Wales. After the accession of Queen M ary, he joined in the rising of Sir Thomas Wyatt (when M ary announced a plan to marry Philip II of Spain), and was executed at Tyburn in 1554. Thomas also wrote The Historie of Italy (1549), and his translation for Edward VI of the voyages of Josafa Barbaro were later published by the Hakluyt Society in Travels to Tana and Persia by Josafa Barbaro and Ambrogio Contarini (1873; reprinted in 1963).

Leonora da Tolleto (Venezia: Gardane, 1539). The editors write: “We have translated in full Giambullari’s book — the account proper, the text of the poetry, and that of the comedy — and have endeavored to provide a critical study of it as well as a critical edition of the music. The translated account makes at times rather tedious reading, notably in the excessively detailed descriptions of costumes, but we have chosen to present the whole text — and also, in the main, to retain the author’s intricate syntax — so that the full documentary value of the Descrizione may be preserved. Giambullari’s account and the occasional poetry, written by Giovambattista Gelli, are dense with significant historical and literary allusions.” The comedy referred to is Antonio Landi’s Il Commodo (reprinted by Giunti in 1566), translated as A Happy Arrangement, or, What you will.

Vnder pleasant and effectuall sentences, dyscouering such strange definitions, and distinctions of vertue and vice, as may please the grauest Cittizens, or youngest Courtiers. Fyrst written in Italian, and dedicated to the Signorie of Venice, nowe translated into English, and offered to the Cittie of London. Rob. Greene, in Artibus M agister. At London, Printed by I. Charlewood for William Wright. Anno. Dom. 1590. The text to Rinaldi’s first aphorism, Arte, reads: “Qvattro cose si fanno buone con l’arte. La moglie prudente, la facondia della lingua, il senso naturale, et la gratia nelle cose mondane.” In Greene’s version, which follows the alphabetical arrangement of the Italian original, the first aphorism reads: “Foure thinges are made goode by arte. 1. A wise wife. 2. An eloquent tongue. 3. A ripe wit. 4. And fauor in worldly affaires.” Greene’s paragraph of commentary invokes Cicero and Plato. KSM ,LC,UTL

6873 ROMEI, Annibale, conte [Discorsi cavallereschi (1585)] The courtier’s academie. By Annibale Romei; translated by John Kepers, 1598; a Renaissance Library facsimile edition, with an introduction by Alice Shalvi. London: H. A. Humphrey; Jerusalem; London; New York: Israel Universities Press, 1968. (Renaissance library) [4], v-xxi, [10], 2-295, [3] pp. A facsimile reprint of the translation published in 1598; see also 1969. Romei (d. 1590), served Alfonso II d’Este at Ferrara, and dedicated his Discorsi to Lucrezia d’Este, Alfonso’s sister. Shalvi writes: “Ferrara under Alfonso II was typical of the Italian Renaissance’s blend of spirituality and materialism. Patronising such poets as Ariosto, Tasso, Boiardo and Guarini, and excelling in music, its court also indulged in political intrigues, in wild dissipation and excessive displays of luxurious living. The paradoxical mixture is reflected in the Discorsi; indeed, the dialogue form lends itself admirably to presenting

differing and even conflicting attitudes to any particular subject, without the author’s laying himself open to a charge of inconsistency. Thus Romei may condemn the duel as a form of settling quarrels and confidently state that the custom has abated in Ferrara, while yet continuing, in the nest breath as it were, to expound on the rules and regulations governing the duello, giving a clear guide to any gentleman who might want to continue practising the abominable habit. Neo-platonic worship of women is followed by clear and approving reference to women’s inferior social status. Riches are both spurned as unchristian and esteemed as essential to the good life. Accumulating wealth through merchandise is permissible and compatible with nobility, provided only that the merchant refrain from the abhorrent practice of retail sale.” The first, Venice edition achieved some success, and was reprinted, with minor changes, in 1586 at Ferrara and Verona, in 1591 at Pavia, and in 1604 and 1619 at Venice. The English translation by Kepers (b. ca. 1547) closely follows the Italian second edition. CRRS,OCLC

Such were the prejudices of the Time. Nevertheless, the reader who has leisure to go through the present Volume will find that his long and earnest endeavour was to write what he himself terms ‘a sincere History.’ His delineations in local description, his care in weighing facts and testimonies, the good sense of his remarks, all show him to have been a Historian beyond his Age, both in his power of discrimination and in his acquirements.” OCLC

Palisca. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 1968. (Music theory translation series) [8], ix-xxvi, [2], 1-294 pp.: ill.; facsims., music, port. In his introduction, Palisca writes: “The study of counterpoint remains today as in Zarlino’s time a cornerstone in the building of a musician and composer. Many of the counterpoint rules first clearly articulated by Gioseffo Zarlino are still in force in creative composition. Even now they are studied in thousands of classrooms and studios through versions passed down by intervening preceptors. Zarlino [1517-1590] was not the inventor of these rules, but he was their most lucid and perspicacious exponent in the sixteenth century, the golden age of vocal counterpoint. ... The authority of the book on counterpoint rests securely on Zarlino’s accomplishments as a musician and composer. He left a sizeable repertory of sacred and secular music and for twenty-five years held one of the principal music directorships in Europe as choirmaster of St. M ark’s in Venice. ... The end of music for Zarlino is to profit and please, ‘to delight honestly.’” LC,USL,M USI

A translation by Renée Neu Watkins of I libri della famiglia by Leon Battista Alberti; with an introduction by the translator. 1st ed. Columbia, South Carolina: University of South Carolina Press, 1969. [11], 2-322, [4] pp. Watkins writes: “Alberti’s own family was both subject and object of Della famiglia. He was the scion of one of the oldest, wealthiest, and most politically prominent merchant clans of Florence. ... Unlike his older brother, he seems never to have married or passed on the family name. He took orders and held benefices from the Curia. ... The talk in Della famiglia begins with the problem of paternal responsibility (Book I), then shifts to the bond underlying family relationships, conjugal love. In Book II Alberti envisages happy marriage as a special case of bonds of close affection, and attempts to define such bonds. The focus of Book III is the material basis of family prosperity, the wise management of the household. M arriage must be considered again, now as a special problem in the wise division of labor. Book IV, although added after some years, is closely linked in substance to what has gone before. The question under discussion is the proper handling of the external relations of the head of the family: what kinds of friendship lie open to him, how he can avoid enmities and exile, how govern his relations with powerful men.” Alberti (1404-1472) was himself born in exile in Genoa (his family had offended the ruling Florentine group in the 1390s), and was, as was his older brother, born out of wedlock, though his father Lorenzo recognized his sons, and gave them his name. Watkins notes: “While [Alberti] never mentions the fact of his illegitimacy, it may well have stimulated him in the assertive sense of family membership which he expresses in Della famiglia.” CRRS,M ichigan,USL

His account favours his countrymen, to the extent that it gives their activities pride of place and is not always fair to the Genoese and the Greeks.

Books the narrative — allegorical, incoherent, obscure, and unedifying — tells of a dream-journey in which Poliphilus visits realms which appear to be those of Art and Free Will. The author’s main interest seems to be in the detailed description of imaginary structures and statues of classic type: he even records measurements and inscriptions. The second Book, still fictional, tells of the enamorment of the author (now awake), and quotes his highly rhetorical letters to his Polia. The romance is written in a unique language in which a pedantic Italian is enriched by the intermixture of ponderous newly coined words built up on Latin stems.” (1954: 175) Hatch Wilkins adds: “The esoteric flavor of the original is well preserved in an anonymous Elizabethan translation,” here reproduced in facsimile. The first Italian edition, printed by Aldus M anutius, is decorated with almost two hundred woodcuts, and is regarded as the most remarkable illustrated book of the Renaissance.

Imprinted at London for Raufe Newbery dwelling in Fleetestreate a little aboue the Conduit, An. Do. 1576. Il galateo was also translated into French, German, Latin, and Spanish in the 16 th century: it was a very popular book. Scott (1916: 462) writes: “Giovanni della Casa (1500-56), Archbishop of Benevento, Petrarchist, and author of Galateo, has been called the Italian Chesterfield. Galateo is an admirable treatise on good manners. Differing from Castiglione’s Il cortegiano, which prescribes the training and discipline of a man of birth and position, Galateo aims to be a guide to the average gentleman in his intercourse with his equals. Like the Courtier, it has enjoyed enduring fame, because its precepts of conduct are based on those general principles of mutual respect and tolerance which hold good for all peoples and for all times. Both books have perhaps been saved from the perverse fate of manuals of etiquette in general by the fact that in a simple, dignified way, and with singular distinction of style, they recognize the final sanction of tact as the mark of education and culture, and inculcate the importance of it as a universal social duty.” CRRS,OCLC,UTL

The backgrounds and sources (pp. 101-132) include documents, and brief illustrative extracts from works by Dante Alighieri, Francesco da Barberino (1264-1348), Riccobaldo Ferrarese (Riccobaldus Ferrariensis, 13 th cent.), Bernardino Scardeone (1478-1574), Lorenzo Ghiberti, Giorgio Vasari, and Jacobus de Voragine. The painter Giotto (1266?-1337), known as Giotto di Bindone, is little recorded in the documents of his time. The Oxford Companion to Art notes that: “the only work universally accepted as Giotto’s is the fresco cycle covering the interior of the Arena chapel. The Arena chapel, which was built as a family oratory for Enrico Scrovegni between 1303 and 1306, was dedicated to the Annunciation. The Lives of the Virgin and Christ (1305-8) are told in three tiers of scenes that cover all the walls ... Giotto’s representations seem to be based on personal observation; they are revolutionary because they break with the rigid copying of medieval formulas. In his telling of the story the effect is one of moral weight rather than divine splendour. He abjures the brilliant colour and elegant line of Byzantine and contemporary Sienese painters. Giotto’s genius lay in his power to seize the essential in human action and feeling. In the supporting framework below the narrative scenes Giotto aims at illusion, depicting a row of personified Virtues and Vices which simulate stone reliefs. They are the first known grisailles.” (1970: 481) Issued in paper; reprinted in 1995. CRRS,LC,UTL

writes that it was: “the classic medieval treatment of the ‘human condition.’ ... It was read throughout Europe for more than four hundred years. It was as much an influence on Renaissance men as upon their ancestors; even the great treatises of the Italian humanists on the dignity of man mentioned it with respect, offering rebuttals not to prove it wrong but to develop the other side of its argument.” It is known in nearly 500 manuscripts; the earliest printed edition was made at Cologne about 1473.

6959 LANDUCCI, Luca [Diario fiorentino (1883)] A Florentine diary from 1450 to 1516. Luca Landucci; [continued by an anonymous writer till 1542; with notes by Iodoco Del Badia; translated from the Italian by Alice de Rosen Jervis]. New York: Arno Press, 1969. xiii, 308 pp.: ill.; ports. A reprint of the edition published in 1927; see also the 1971 reprint. M argery Hunter Woods reviewed the 1927 edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and noted: “Landucci may have lacked distinctive literary talent, but this excellent translation of his diary makes absorbing, and even exciting reading; the events of the stirring years 1450 to 1510 in Florence are of themselves thrilling and uproarious enough to atone for a certain lack of individuality, of imaginative vigour, upon the part of the chronicler.” She concludes: “The notes which the translator has added upon street names, old money, &c., are indispensable to most English readers, and it is obvious that the description of Savonarola’s excommunication and death, of the various treaties made by the Florentines with foreign powers, of the levying and remission of taxes, of the doings of the Pazzi, the M edici, and the Signoria, of the movements of the French troops as reported to the Florentines, and of the general course of political and social life from week to week, are of great historical interest.” LC,OCLC

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

Singing Tree Press, 1969. 2 v. (xiv, 271; vii, 278 pp.) Leland writes that: “This book consists almost entirely of legends or traditions of a varied character, referring to places and buildings in Florence, such as the Cathedral and Campanile, the Signoria, the Bargello, the different city gates, ancient towers and bridges, places, crosses, and fountains, noted corners, odd by-ways, and many churches. To all of these there are tales, or at least anecdotes attached, which will be found as entertaining to the general reader as they will be interesting, not to say valuable, to the folklorist and the student of social history.” He claims to have collected the major part of his materials from one M addalena, a fortune-teller and witch. He also admits “that in a certain number of these tales the utmost liberty has been taken.” Readers will have to draw their own conclusions as to whether these tales have any real basis in genuine Italian sources. The volumes are reprints of the editions first published in 1895-96 in Florence by Seeber, in London by David Nutt, and in New York by M acmillan. The University of Toronto Library holds the 1896 Nutt edition, which I have consulted. LC,OCLC

The original title page reads: A geographical historie of Africa, written in Arabicke and Italian, by Iohn Leo, a M ore, borne in Granada and brought up in Barbarie. Wherein he hath at large described, not onely the qualities, situations, and true distances of the regions, cities, townes, mountaines, riuers, and other places throughout all the north and principall partes of Africa; but also the descents and families of their kings, the causes and events of their warres, with their manners, customs, and ciuil government, and many other memorable matters: gathered partly out of his owne diligent observations, and partly out of the ancient records and chronicles of the Arabians and M ores. Before which, out of the best ancient and moderne writers, is prefixed a generall description of Africa, and also a particular treatise of all the maine lands and isles vndescribed, by Iohn Leo. And after the same is annexed a relation of the great Prince and the manifold religions of that part of the world. Translated and collected by John Pory, lately of Gonouill and Caius College in Cambridge. Londini, Imprensis Georg Bishop, 1600.

This translation contains the first five books of Lomazzo’s treatise, which cover proportion, actions and gestures, colour, light, and perspective. The sixth and seventh books, on the practice of painting and the history of painting, together with Lomazzo’s index of artists, are listed in Haydocke’s “Table of the chapters of the whole volume, in order,” but do not form part of the book. The original engraved title page reads: A Tracte Containing the Artes of Curious Paintinge Caruinge & Buildinge. Written first in Italian by Jo: Paul Lomatius painter of M ilan; and Englished by R. H. student in Physik. [motto] In the handes of the skilfull shall the worke be approued. Eccl. 9. 19. The colophon reads: Printed at Oxford by Ioseph Barnes for R. H. Anno Domini, M .D.XC.VIII. The translator’s dedication, to Thomas Bodley (15451613), founder of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, is signed Richard Haydocke. Haydocke, an eccentric (he claimed to preach unconsciously in his sleep) was born in 1570. In his preface he notes, of the restoration of pictures in his own time: “For my selfe have seene divers goodlie olde workes finely marred, with fresh and beawtifull colours, and vernishes: a singular argument (to say nothing of the Owners) of the bolde and confident ignorance of the workemen.” A comment that might just as well be applied to the 19 th and 20 th centuries.

Bibliography 1969 being in Barbarie: at the siege and winning of Calibbia, M onasterio, and Affrica, I had as well for my further instruction in those affaires, as also the better to acquaint mee with the Italian tongue, reduced into English, the book called The arte of Warre, of the famous and excellent Nicholas M achiavel, which in times past, he being a counsailour, and Secretairie of the noble citie of Florence, not without his great laud and praise did write: and having lately againe, somewhat perused the same, the which in such continuall broyles, and unquietnes, was by me translated, I determined with my selfe, by publishing thereof, to bestow as great a gift (since greater I was not able) amongst my countrie men, not expert in the Italian tongue, as in like works I had seem before mee, the Frenchmen, Dutchmen, Spaniardes, and other forreine nacions, most lovingly to have bestowed among theirs.” Scott (1916: 307-8) notes: “The Art of War is written in the form of a dialogue. M achiavelli supposes that Vittorio Colonna, a powerful Roman nobleman in the service of the King of Spain, stops in Florence on his way home from the wars in Lombardy. There he is invited by Cosmo di Rucellai to spend a day with him in the celebrated Gardens of the Rucellai family. The three other interlocutors, friends of Cosmo, are Zanoi Buondelmonti, Battista dalla Palla, and Luigi Alamanni, the Florentine poet. The gentlemen discuss with Fabrizio the art of war, comparing the Swiss and Spanish troops, then considered the best soldiers in Europe; ... M achiavelli, in the character of Fabrizio, preferred the Spanish soldier, because the Swiss footmen could only cope well with horse, while the Spanish troops know how to deal with both horse and foot. ... He attaches little importance to the invention of gunpowder which indeed was largely used at that time for charging cannon; he calls attention to the clumsiness of heavy artillery in battle, and says that small cannon and musketshot do more execution than artillery. ... It will be seen that the Art of War is a carefully considered treatise on the military arm of government. M achiavelli believed that the feebleness of Italy as a military power was due to the system of mercenary soldiers which was first introduced by the despots, and then adopted by the commercial republics, and favored by the Church. The only way by which the Italians could recover their freedom was through the organization of a national militia, and the particular organization he had in mind was an adaptation of the principles of Roman tactics in modern conditions.” CRRS,OCLC,UTL

much into one book as M anzoni has in I Promessi Sposi. It is not only the first modern Italian novel; for Italy it is all Scott, Dickens and Thackeray rolled into one volume; though it does not quite correspond to any of these, and its spirit is perhaps nearer Tolstoy. It has had great influence, but never founded a school — unless the romantic novelists of the Risorgimento are considered so. It has gone into over 500 editions, and been translated into every major language, including Chinese; two operas, three films, a ballet, and at least seven plays have been based on it ... . M anzoni never wrote another novel, and he rewrote this three times, spending two years on the first version, three on the second, and no less than twelve on the definitive edition of 1840. ... To Italians the book is still very much alive; certain proof corrections to the present volume stopped all work at the library of the Italian Institute in London one afternoon, as every reader in the room joined warmly in discussing the shades of meaning of a phrase.” The drawings by Eric Fraser are excellent.

In his prefatory note Robinson states: “The purpose of this volume is essentially historical. It is not a piece of literary criticism; it is only incidentally a biography. It has been prepared with the single but lively hope of making a little clearer the development of modern culture. It views Petrarch not as a poet, nor even, primarily, as a many-sided man of genius, but as the mirror of his age — a mirror in which are reflected all the momentous contrasts between waning Medieævalism and the dawning Renaissance. Petrarch knew almost everyone worth knowing in those days; consequently few historical sources can rival his letters in value and interest; their character and significance.” A reprint of the edition published in 1914 by Putnam’s.

A. Skelton, who wrote: “The longest and most valuable narrative of the voyage was written by a young Italian who was neither a professional seaman nor a humanist. Antonio Pigafetta, who,

joining the expedition as a volunteer , was in Trinidad when she sailed in 1519 and in the Victoria when she berthed in 1522, brought to his task of recording a capacity for keen observation, sympathetic interpretation, and expressive communication of experience which enabled him to produce one of the most remarkable documents in the history of geographical and ethnological discovery.” As Dr. C. A. Jones, who reviewed this handsome translation and facsimile for the Times Literary Supplement noted: “his chief interests were what we imagine our own would be had we been in his place. Tall men and tiny, the antics of penguins, the red mouths of the chewers of betel nuts, junks and praos, the length of a banana, how to eat (and drink) a coconut, the strength and flavour of local intoxicants, trade goods, presents given and received, costume or its absence, languages and burial customs, the weapons that were at various times borne against him — he marks and mentions all. ... M r Skelton’s translation [from the French manuscript] is first-rate. ... there is not the least hint of constriction or artifice: the English is plain, clear, appropriate, and entirely serviceable.” Jones found the presentation and printing of the books to be excellent, and concludes: “the result of a great deal of care, labour, judgment, and expense is one of the most beautiful and interesting books published in 1969.” CRRS,LC,UKM

6986 PIUS II, Pope [Correspondence. Selections. English and Latin] Selected letters of Aeneas Silvius Piccolomini. Translated and edited by Albert R. Baca. Northridge, California: San Fernando Valley State College, 1969.

Baca writes: “During the period 1444 to 1454 Aeneas expressed in letters his attitudes toward the literature of Classical Antiquity, toward the writings of the Church Fathers, and toward the authors of his own day. In these letters he sought to reconcile the philosophy and ethics of Classical literature with the Christian point of view.” CRRS,LC,PIM S

A reprint of the edition first published in Chicago by Open Court Pub. Co. in 1909. Giuseppe Aromatari (1587-1660) had stated in 1625 that all plants arise from the seed, and that likewise all animals are born from the egg. Bigelow points out the Redi: “was the first to prove this truth by experiments, that have been compared to those of Tyndall and Pasteur two hundred years later. ... Redi also possessed a singularly clear reasoning power, and a large measure of common sense, not an habitual concomitant of knowledge at the time. After disproving the generation of animals in dead matter, he logically tried to disprove it in a living medium, and in the case of insects arising from galls, he thought that the fly laid its egg in the slit twig, and that the usual transformation occurred. Unfortunately his observations, far from confirming his opinion, caused him to change it; that Nature prepared the gall for the insect seemed evident, so Redi, ever distrustful of himself, sacrificed his idea to that of Aristotle [that is, spontaneous generation], acknowledging the creative power of the spiritus. This error was subsequently corrected by Redi’s pupil, Vallisneri [1661-1730], who continued his investigations.” On Redi (1626-1698), see also entry 8845. OCLC,YRK

[6], vii-xxxvi, [4], 1-199, [1] pp.: ill.; facsims., table. The translators write: “The Plictho first appeared in 1548 in Venice, and it was written by Gioanventura Rosetti [fl. 15301548], an employee of the Venice Arsenal. ... According to his preface to the Plictho, Rosetti had gathered together the dyeing recipes and processes used at the time in Venice, Genoa, Florence, and other Italian cities. This work had taken him sixteen years, and he claims that he had devoted days, nights, months, and years together with his own blood and poor substance to compiling the work. Even more unusual is the fact that this was being done for the good of the people of Venice and without any thought of personal gain.” Edelstein and Borghetty also write: “He was fully modern in his attitude toward the dissemination of technical knowledge. First to compile all of the available formulas and recipes on dyeing and tanning, he strove to enable those who practiced the art to do their work more efficiently, thus stimulating the business activity of his beloved city. This is the same spirit that motivates science today. It abhors secrecy and feels that discoveries and procedures should be revealed for the benefit of all.” The Italian text is a facsimile reprint of the 1 st edition, published in Venice by Bindoni in 1548.

Colorado Springs: Colorado College Music Press, 1970. (Colorado College Music Press translations; no. 4) 3 v. ([5], ii-iii, [4], 4-59, [1]; [5], 2-55, [1]; [3], 2-40, [2] pp.): ill.; diagrams, music. Aaron, or Aron (ca. 1480-ca. 1550) was an Italian music theorist and composer of Jewish origin. He was born in Florence and is thought to have died in Bergamo, but little of his life is documented, and only one of his musical compositions survives. Bonnie J. Blackburn, in Grove Music Online, states: “Apart from his brief stay at Imola [Cathedral, as a singer, 1520-1522], Aaron held no formal position as singer or choirmaster, an unusual situation that might be due to his Jewish origin ... . Born in tenuous circumstances ... he seems to have been largely self-taught; this may be the reason for his less systematic approach and questionable statements (especially in his first treatise [Libri tres de institutione harmonica, 1516]), but also for his valuable insights into contemporary practice: from his first treatise onwards he promises to divulge ‘many of the secret chambers of this art, never heretofore revealed’. He is especially informative on counterpoint and compositional process ... , the modal system in polyphonic music and the application of musica ficta [the sharpening or flattening of notes to avoid awkward intervals]. He is one of the first theorists to discuss mean-tone temperament. His Toscanello, among the earliest vernacular music treatises, was highly successful and ran to four editions.” Issued in paper.

[Hamden, CT]: Published by Archon Books for the Yale University Library, 1970. [6], i-xii, [3], 2-81, [3] pp. Ernest Hatch Wilkins writes that: “the Sienese scapegrace Cecco Angiolieri [ca. 1258-ca. 1312 was] the first master (though not the initiator) of Italian humorous and realistic verse. Cecco seeks his excitements among the common venalities; but there is nothing common in the vividness with which he drafts his little dramas of sight and sound, of desire and folly and mischance. One is transported instantly into the plebeian midst of the life of old Siena, and one is led to know with perfect certainty that that life was a real as our own.” (1954: 74) The entry in the Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Scholars generally attribute one hundred and twenty-eight sonnets to Cecco, some of which are still disputed. We have no reliable

information on the dates of their composition. Although many critics have spoken of a Canzoniere, or songbook, by Cecco as if he had produced a coherent body of poetry analogous to that of Petrarch, the only formal organization of the poems has been imposed by modern editors. Because he was long considered a kind of Italian François Villon, Cecco’s poems were often read as autobiographical documents rather than as poems produced by a sophisticated and imaginative artist working out of the literary tradition of Latin Goliardic poetry and the love poetry which originated in Provence and spread to Sicily and Tuscany.” (1979: 14-15) Cecco addressed three sonnets to his friend Dante.

7015 BARETTI, Giuseppe Marco Antonio [Lettere familiari (1762, 1763). Selections] A journey from London to Genoa, through England, Portugal, Spain, and France. Vol. I [II]. By Joseph Baretti; with an introduction by Ian Robertson. New York, Washington: Praeger Publishers, 1970. (Travellers’ classics) 2v. in 1 ([7], vi-xv, [2], 2-424, [4]; [5], 2-419, [7] pp.): port. A reprint of the 2nd English edition, first published in 1770; the translation is Baretti’s own. In his introduction, Robertson writes: “Two hundred years have passed since Joseph Baretti’s Journey from London to Genoa was first published. With the exception of the Rev. Edward Clarke’s Letters from Spain (1760), it is the first English narrative of travel in the peninsula during the 18th century; it is also the finest, in the urbane quality of its writing, in which the influence of Johnson is often apparent. It is Baretti’s longest and best sustained work in English, and upon it rests his chief claim to a place of honour in English literature.” Dr. Johnson himself wrote, in a letter to M rs. Thrale in July, 1770: “That Baretti’s book would please you all I had made no doubt. I know not whether the world has ever seen such travels before. Those whose lot it is to ramble can seldom write, and those who know how to write very seldom ramble.” Baretti (1719-1789), a literary critic who supported himself chiefly by his writings, was born in Turin. He led a wandering life, though he spent many of the years after 1751 in London,

and died there. He became a friend of Samuel Johnson, to whom he dedicated his Italian-English, English-Italian dictionary (1760), which remained a standard reference work until the beginning of the twentieth century. Boswell, in The Life of Samuel Johnson, records Baretti’s remark “I hate mankind, for I think myself one of the best of them, and I know how bad I am.” In Venice in the early 1760s he published the famous literary periodical La frusta letteraria under the pseudonym Aristarco Scannabue. In 1768 he was named secretary for foreign correspondence of the Royal Academy of Painting, Sculpture, and Architecture, at that time headed by Sir Joshua Reynolds. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “Soon after being appointed to this important position, Baretti was accosted by a prostitute in the Haymarket; his abrupt manner caused her procurers to attack him, one of whom Baretti managed to kill with a fruit knife. Charged by the authorities with homicide, Baretti directed his own defense in Old Bailey, and with such character witnesses as Goldsmith, Johnson, and Reynolds — the cream of London’s intellectual community — he was easily acquitted.” (1979: 32). It was Baretti, in his Italian Library (1757), who first recorded Galileo’s phrase “eppur si muove,” some 125 years after it was supposed to have been said. LC,OCLC,YRK

7028 BOTTA, Carlo [Storia della guerra dell’independenza degli Stati Uniti d’America (1819)] History of the War of the Independence of the United States of America. By Charles Botta; translated from the Italian by George Alexander Otis, Esq. Ninth edition, in two volumes, revised and corrected. Vol. I [II]. Port Washington, N.Y.; London: Kennikat Press, 1970. (Kennikat American bicentennial series) 2 v. ([9], viii-x, [1], 12-472 pp., [6] leaves of plates; [5], iv, [1], 6-468, [4] pp., [6] leaves of plates: ill.; map, plans, ports. A reprint of the ninth edition (1845) of the translation first published in 1820-21 in Philadelphia by Lydia R. Bailey, Printer. Botta (1766-1837) was born in the province of Vercelli, in the Piedmont. He studied medicine at the University of Turin, and followed the dual careers of physician and government official, though he found time to write and publish a description of the island of Corfu, a historical sketch of Savoy and Piedmont, and several other works of history, literature, and music. His history of the War of Independence, based on primary and secondary sources, was published in four volumes by D. Colas in Paris in 1809. Thomas Jefferson, who possessed a copy of that original edition, told the translator Otis: “I am glad to find that the excellent history of Botta is at length translated. The merit of this work has been too long unknown with us. He has had the faculty of sifting the truth of facts from our own histories with great judgment, of suppressing details which do not make part of the general history, and of enlivening the whole with the constant glow of his holy enthusiasm for the liberty and independence of nations. ... Another merit is in the accuracy of his narrative of those portions of the same war which passed in other quarters of the globe, and especially the ocean. We must thank him too, for having brought within the compass of three volumes every thing we wish to know of that war, and in a style so engaging, that we cannot lay the book down.” Otis also quotes from approving letters from John Adams and James M adison.

Georgio Scanderbeg, principe di Epyrro ..., by Paolo Giovio, first published in Rome in 1532 by Blado, and reprinted without imprint in 1539. Scott (1916: 394), citing Gibbon, notes: “George Castriota, called Scanderbeg or Skanderbeg, from the Turkish Iskander Beg (Alexander Bey), was an Albanian chieftain who lived from 1403 to 1467. In his youth, his father, Ivan (John) Castriota, lord of Kroya, a hereditary principality in Albania, between the mountains and the Adriatic Sea, sent him and his three brothers as hostages to the Ottoman Court. When John Castriota died, in 1443, the Sultan, Amurath II, decided to annex the principality to Turkey. But George Castriota returned to Albania, in 1444, proclaimed his independence, and resisted successfully for twenty-three years, both Amurath II and his son M ohammed II, called the Conqueror. Scanderbeg finally died a fugitive, at Alessio in the Venetian territory, and Albania (Epirus) was added to the Turkish empire.” CRRS,LC,UTL

CORONELLI, Vincenzo [Navi, ed altre sorti di barche, usata da nazioni differenti ne’ mari, e ne’ fiumi (1690)] Ships and other sort of craft used by the various nations of the world — Venice 1690. Vincenzo Coronelli; translated by Mario M.

Published in a limited edition of 275 copies, “of which numbers 1-250 are for sale”; UTL copy no. 71 The Venetian minorite friar Vincenzo Coronelli (16501718) was a geographer, cartographer, inventor, publisher, and one of the most gifted crafters of terrestrial and celestial globes of the seventeenth century. His two globes commissioned by Louis XIV, highly detailed and measuring 384 cm in diameter (1681-3), are now in the Bibliothèque nationale. His skills were in demand, and in the years following 1683 he worked in various European countries, returning to Venice for good in 1705 (consequent to his falling out of favour with his own order and with the Pope). His most important publication of 1690 was not the present little illustrated book on ships, but the Atlante veneto, considered to be the first Italian atlas. In Venice he founded the Accademia cosmografica degli Argonauti, considered to be the first geographical society; he was also nominated Official Cosmographer to the Venetian Republic, a position he held until his death. Examples of his globes survive in Vienna, M elk, and Trier. A tireless worker, Coronelli was also an encyclopaedist, and published the first seven volumes of his Biblioteca universale sacro-profana, carrying the text as far as the article “Caque.” This is thought to be the first encyclopaedia to be ordered alphabetically. He chose his illustrations from a wide variety of sources; many of the engravings of ships are based on original works by Wenceslas Hollar. Witt notes that after Coronelli’s death: “his letters and manuscripts were given over to the pulp mills, his books were dispersed and his copper plates sold off by weight of metal. His Academy, which had its headquarters in his convent at the Frari, did not long survive him either, so that all Coronelli’s life’s work died with him.” His brethren were suspicious of his scientific activities, and his publishing activities were far removed from the religious aims of the order, and consumed a considerable part of the convent’s income. Witt also notes that Coronelli’s plagiarism went beyond even what was customary and acceptable in his time, and he writes: “[He] undoubtedly was blessed with the light of genius; only this was not always strong enough to guide him through the ocean of his own confusion.” LC,UTL

Plumptre’s review of Singleton’s Inferno for the Times Literary Supplement is rather busy, and chiefly concerned with the commentary volume. Plumptre does point out that Singleton: “has devoted a lifetime to the study of Dante,” and that his edition: “is therefore based on sound learning and a deeply considered understanding of the spirit and letter of the poem.” Two years later Plumptre provided a review of Singleton’s Purgatorio, and commends Singleton for a “reliable prose translation,” but focuses his attention on the Purgatorio itself. He writes: “it is a pity that the word ‘Dantesque’ suggests to so many only an infernal Chamber of Horrors. For the second cantica, like the third, offers at every stage new evidence of the poet’s originality and imagination, dramatic sense and linguistic mastery. It is also the region in which readers can feel most at home. If normally we hope we are not bad enough to deserve eternal damnation, we are certain that at the moment we are not good enough for a seat in the candida rosa: thus it seems reasonable to picture ourselves joining in at almost any stage of the action on the terraces of Purgatory, or on the lower slopes among the indolent and preoccupied. But a more important reason why Purgatorio demands our attention is that it contains the heart and essence of the whole Commedia. Throughout the cantica, and especially in the central cantos, the theme is man’s moral responsibility.” TRIN,USL,UTL

The editor for Scolar, Richard Woodfield, notes: “It is not difficult to find motives for this translation of Dolce’s ... L’Aretino, but three particularly deserve mention: the growing interest in Italian literature, the perennial interest in Italian art, and the debate over the relative merits of Raphael and M ichelangelo. ... With their taste for rules and the classical style the early English art theorists felt uncomfortable in the presence of M ichelangelo; the problem was to find a place for him within the confines of neo-classical criticism. ... Dolce maintained that Raphael, in contrast to M ichelangelo, possessed grace [beyond the reach of art, which stressed M ichelangelo’s individuality], and it is apparent that our translator agreed with this sentiment.” LC,UKM,UTL

The text is that published in Gascoigne’s enlarged and corrected The Posies, of 1575, previously published in 1573, without his permission, as A Hundred Sundrie Flowres. Cunliffe notes: “Jocasta ... has lost the main title to consideration it claimed at its first appearance, viz. that it was a translation from Euripides. It is only in the present generation that this claim was shown to be misleading; as a matter of fact Jocasta follows, page by page, and line by line, the Giocasta of Lodovico Dolce ... . Even Dolce did not translate from the original Greek, but took a Latin version, and dealt with it in his own independent fashion. The changes he made were, however, not important ... .” Caption title.

7054 GIUSTINIANI, Sebastiano [Works. Selections] Four years at the court of Henry VIII: selection of despatches written by the Venetian ambassador, Sebastian Giustinian, and addressed to the Signory of Venice, January 12th 1515, to July 26th 1519. Translated by Rawdon Brown. New York: AMS Press, 1970. 2 v. ([3], iv-xxviii, [1], 2-327, [1]; [3], iv-vii, [2], 2-340, [2] pp.) Giustiniani (1460-1543) spent almost forty years of his life in the diplomatic service of Venice, and from 1532, in the service of the State. His first post was at Rimini, and he also served in Hungary, Dalmatia and the Balkans, Italy, and France. The Giustiniani correspondence from his mission to England, some 226 letters, from which this selection was made, were discovered after 1843, when Girolamo Contarini bequeathed to the library of St. Mark his family collection of books and manuscripts. Also included is a translation of Giustiniani’s report to the Venetian Senate on his return, also translated by Rawdon Brown. Brown notes: “It is surprising how few contemporary authors are quoted by the historians of the period embraced by these dispatches. In the course of these four years, we find occasional references to Peter M artyr, to Erasmus, to M essieurs de Bellai and de Fleuranges, to the mendacious Polydore Virgil, to Sir Thomas M ore, and to Edward Hall: the last a mere youth at the time of Giustinian’s sojourn in England; but in none of these writers are to be found the minute details and graphic touches which give life to the Venetian Ambassador’s correspondence.” A reprint of the edition published in London by Smith, Elder in 1854.

In his introduction, Domandi notes: “For centuries Francesco Guicciardini occupied a somewhat obscure place in the brilliant panorama of Renaissance thought, partly because he was overshadowed by the towering figure of his contemporary M achiavelli, but mostly because his only known works were the History of Italy and a garbled version of his Political Maxims. The History of Florence as well as most of his other writings lay mute in the Guicciardini family archive for over three hundred years. In the decade from 1857 to 1867, the Italian scholar Giuseppe Canestrini finally published the bulk of Guicciardini’s opera. But only in the past generation have the works received the scholarly and critical attention they deserve; and only in recent times has Guicciardini begun to emerge as one of the giants of Renaissance thought, the peer of M achiavelli as a political observer and his superior as a historian of their native city. The History of Florence, written when he was about twenty-six years old, is a source of prime importance not only for the wealth of detailed factual information it contains, but also for its vivid depiction of the differences in political attitudes among the various classes that constituted Florentine society at the time of the republic.” CRRS,LC,M ichigan

profitable to the well smellyng noses of learned Readers. M eritum petere, graue. At London, Imprinted for Richarde Smith. Scott (1916: 24) notes that “This work was published during Gascoigne’s military adventures in Holland, and without his authority, by H.[enry?] W.[otton?], who had obtained the manuscript from G.[eorge?] T.[urberville?].” Added as an appendix is the text “Certain notes of instruction concerning the making of verse,” which first appeared in the second edition of 1575, published by Gascoigne himself. The first text in the collection is Gascoigne’s translation of Ariosto’s play I suppositi (1542), followed by a translation of Jocasta by Euripides which Gascoigne made from the Italian version of Lodovico Dolce, La Giocasta (1550). Gascoigne also includes a translation of a brief passage from Orlando furioso, and some versions of poems by Petrarch. A note to this facsimile edition tells us: “George Gascoigne (ca. 1539-1577) published nothing until he was thirty-four years old, and then put together the collection of poems and prose works here reproduced, many of them written when he was a young man. It has been disputed whether all the poems are his. ... The most interesting feature about the text ... concerns the brief novel The Adventures of Master F. I. Gascoigne asserts that this is a translation from the Italian of one ‘Bartello’, but it is more likely his own creation, and deserves notice as the earliest novel in English.” Scott (1916: 25) adds: “Fleay (Chronicles of the English Drama, vol. 1, under Gascoigne) takes Bartello to be a fictitious author, and says that the story relates to Gascoigne’s own ‘adventures’ with Elinor M anners Bourchier, Countess of Bath. The tale is a pasquil [a virulent or scurrilous satire], in the title it is called ‘a fable,’ and it is an historical fact that Gascoigne was before the Privy Council, in 1572, as ‘a deviser of slanderous pasquils against divers persons of great calling.’” CRRS,USL,UTL

Castiglione, cotranslator of the “Codex.” City of Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 1970. [3], iv-x, 1-422 pp.: ill. (1 col.); facsims. The codex (55 leaves of an original 62) is among Leonardo’s earliest known manuscripts, dating from about1487 to 1490. It contains studies of military and religious architecture, but the main part documents Leonardo’s attempts to improve his literary education through long lists of learned words in Latin and Italian copied from authoritative lexical and grammatical sources. Raymond Stites writes: “The purpose of this book is to explain Leonardo da Vinci as he might explain himself if he were living today, in terms of the psychology of his character.” With respect to the translation he writes: “Of great importance in completing my research has been the need for the most accurate possible translation of the Codex. Many of Leonardo’s words are obsolete. Some of them are definitely in a Tuscan dialect with Latin overtones. Some are in Florentine slang and others in M ilanese slang. In 1960 I asked a Florentine scholar, Dr. Pierina Castiglione, professor of Italian at M iddlebury and Smith Colleges, to check my translations. ... In going over my pages she has found references to Dante and his definition of the “whole man” that I would never have recognized. Thus the translation as it now stands is as accurate as a reputable linguistics scholar can make it.” The book presents each facsimile page (reversed from Leonardo’s mirror script, to make it more easily legible) with a parallel English translation.

In The Discourses he writes with one eye on the glorious republican past of Rome — and in the cadences of the great classical authors; but the other eye is on political man in the Italian present — in which he makes sudden, inventive moves from the formality of the new language created by Dante into deliberate and pithy colloquialisms: such changes of pace and level as we are accustomed to in the middle and late periods of Shakespeare, and used quite as deliberately and effectively.” Issued in paper.

7082 MACHIAVELLI, Niccolò [Il principe (1532)] The prince. Niccolò Machiavelli; translated and with an introduction by George Bull; including the prelude by Benito Mussolini. London: The Folio Society, 1970. [6], 5-143, [1] pp.: port. Bull writes: “Benito M ussolini’s ‘preludio al Principe’ was published in 1924, a fateful year for M ussolini himself, for Italy, and indeed for the world. The former socialist firebrand, Prime M inister of Italy since the M arch on Rome in 1922, dissolved Parliament in January 1924, and held in April the elections that gave him the majority on which to base his increasingly oppressive regime. The murder of the socialist deputy, M atteotti, soon after the opening of Parliament, first terrified M ussolini as to its possible repercussions but then — when the Italian Parliament stayed quiescent and subdued — confirmed him in his scorn for representative institutions and led directly to the inauguration of a decisive new phase in the development of fascism. It is, therefore, fitting and ironic that the theme M ussolini chose from The Prince was M achiavelli’s reverence for strong government and contempt for the mass of mankind. It was, of course, only one of the possible themes. Since the time it was written, The Prince has been plundered for aphorisms, sentiments or arguments to support a multitude of distinct political and philosophical positions. We can hardly blame M achiavelli for M ussolini, but the use the Duce made of The Prince heavily underlines the book’s enduring reputation as a handbook for tyrants.” This translation was first published in 1961 by Penguin.

(English linguistics, 15001800, a collection of facsimile reprints; no. 252) [8], 3-279, [45] pp. This work is attributed to the younger Aldo M anuzio, grandson of the pioneering Venetian printer Aldus M anutius (Aldo M anuzio, 1449 or 50-1515), but it was probably compiled by his father Paolo M anuzio (1512-1574), perhaps for the instruction of the son, who was then nine years old, and with his assistance. The younger Aldo took over the management of the Venetian printing house when his father settled in Rome in 1561.

“The Old yellow book is a collection of pamphlets relating to the trial of Guido Franceschini [1657-1698].” The Reader’s Encyclopedia provides the following synopsis of Browning’s poem: “Guido Franceschini, a Florentine nobleman of shattered fortune, marries Pompilia Comparini, whom he believes to be an heiress. Pietro and Violante Comparini, learning that Guido is not wealthy as they believed, sue for the return of Pompilia’s dowry, claiming that she is not really their daughter. Guido treats her so brutally that Pompilia, who is about to have a child, flees to Rome under the protection of Caponsacchi, a young priest. They are caught by her husband, and Caponsacchi, charged with adultery, is banished for three years; Pompilia is sent to a nunnery. Two weeks after her child is born, Pompilia and her supposed parents are murdered by Guido. He is arrested and admits his crime, and though he claims that Pompilia’s alleged adultery justified him, he is condemned and executed.” (1965: 859) A reprint of the edition published by Chipman in 1925. Another translation, by C. W. Hodell, was first published by the Carnegie Institution of Washington in 1908, and was also published by Dent and Dutton in the Everyman’s library series in 1911.

[Farnborough], England: Gregg International Publishers, 1970. [21], vi-xliii, [2], 2-473, [3] pp. Gregorio Panzani (d. 1662) was the agent in England of Pope Urban VIII (1568-1644) from 1634 to 1636, when he was resident in England with Charles I’s Catholic queen, Henrietta M aria of France. His papers are in the Vatican Archives. Selections were first published in London in 1643, during the English civil war, the military phase of the Puritan Revolution. Berington’s edition of 1793 had the title: The memoirs of Gregorio Panzani; giving an account of his agency in England, in the years 1634, 1635, 1636. Translated from the Italian original, and now first published. To which are added an introduction and a supplement, exhibiting the state of the English Catholic Church, and the conduct of parties, before and after that period, to the present times. By the Revd. Joseph Berington. Birrell notes that: “The English government was in fact completely opportunistic on the Catholic question. Discussions of union, toleration, and bishops were encouraged with the sole object of dividing and weakening the Catholic body as a whole: it was the same policy under Elizabeth I, under James I and, for that matter, under George III. ... The views of Panzani and Berington may be very attractive; the trouble is that they do not square with the facts of history.” M AS,OCLC

Davenport writes: “The poem to which Botticelli’s Primavers and Birth of Venus, Raphael’s Galtaea, Dürer’s Rape of Europa, Death of Orpheus, and Nemesis and, possibly, Titian’s Bacchus and Ariadne are illustrations has never been translated into English. ... The Stanze per la Giostra was undertaken as an elaborate celebration of a joust that was held in Florence in 1478 and in which Lorenzo the M agnificent’s younger brother Giuliano made a fine showing. ... But Poliziano’s poem never reaches the joust it sets out to celebrate, for he could not finish it. Its elaborate allegory, on one level, involved Giuliano’s love for Simonetta Cattaneo, after whose

death in April, 1476, Poliziano began his poem. But two years later, again in April, on the very anniversary in fact of Simonetta’s death — she was buried in a casket filled with roses — Giuliano was stabbed to death by Bernardo Bandini and Francesco de Pazzi, during High Mass at Santa Reparata. After which Poliziano felt that his finest gesture was to leave the poem as unfulfilled as Giuliano’s life.” The poem is presented in translation only, except for stanzas 8-11 which are also given in the original Italian.

New York: Benjamin Blom, Publishers, 1970. [6], 3-16, [10] pp., 2-13, [1], 1-26, [2], 2-73, [2], 3-71, [2], 2-16 leaves: ill.; plans. A facsimile reprint of the 1611 edition, with a new introduction, bibliography, and publisher’s note. The original titles were: The firste booke of architecture, entreating of geometrie; The second booke of architecture, entreating of perspectiue; The third booke, entreating of all kinds of excellent antiquities; The fourth booke, rules for masontry; The fift booke of architecture, wherein there are set downe certayne formes of temples, according to the ancient maner; and also serving for Christians.

Serlio’s work is one of the earliest books on architecture written in a vernacular language (rather than Latin) and incorporating extensive illustrations. Book IV was first published in Venice in 1537; Book III in Venice in 1540; Books I and II in Paris in 1545; and Book V in Paris in 1547. The bibliographical note to the Dover reprint (1982) states: “The five books were first published together in 1584 in Venice, under the title Tutte l’opere d’architettura et prospettiva. In 1606 Den eerstç vijfsten boeck van architecturç Sebastiani Serlij was published in Amsterdam in a translation by Pieter Coecke van Aelst, the master of Pieter Brueghel the Elder, who had probably met Serlio in the 1520s. This Dutch translation was in turn translated into English for the edition published in 1611, printed by Simon Stafford for Robert Peake, a printseller and Serjeant Painter to James I. The blocks for the illustrations had previously been used for the editions printed in Antwerp (1553 [-1606]) and Basel (1608).” Serlio (1475-1554) was the son of an ornamental painter and scene designer, but he decided to make a career as an architect. Santaniello writes: “He worked first in Bologna [his home town], then in Pesaro (1509-1514), in Veneto (1515-c. 1534), Rome (1534-c. 1538), and in other cities throughout Italy. In these years he came to know intimately some of the most important architects and artists of the day, among them Girolamo Genga, Jacopo Sansovino, M ichele Sanmicheli, and Baldassare Peruzzi, in whose studio he worked as apprentice. Peruzzi (1481-1536) was undoubtedly the most important influence on Serlio’s art and the greatest impetus for his studies of classical architecture. Their relationship was so close that upon the master’s death Serlio inherited many of his drawings and papers, among them sketches intended for an illustrated edition of the great Roman treatise by Vitruvius Pollio.” LC,UTL

This device by which, I believe, some incantation of the original rhyme is maintained at the end of every octave is a compromise between the foregoing translations [of Fairfax (1600), Hoole (1763), Jeremiah Holme Wiffen (1824), and J. K. James (1884)], in which the rigid pattern of the rhyme often forces and transforms the literal meaning of the poem, and one (1761) by the Irish Philip Doyne, in which the adoption of the M iltonic blank verse totally deprives the Italian text of one of its magical surprises.” M ichigan,USL,UTL

Toronto, Canada. Albany, New York: Magi Books, c1970. [2], iii-xi, [1], 1-241, [1] pp. Weisheipl notes: “Although the Posterior Analytics is a scientific work that can be studied and understood in its own right, it cannot fully be understood until one can see this kind of process at work in the various Aristotelian sciences. The scholastics themselves did not grasp the significance of this work until they could see it at work in the other writings of Aristotle. The Physics and Ethics of Aristotle in particular helped to instruct the scholastic in its use. Only then could Albert the Great and St. Thomas apply this methodology to such new branches as theology. St. Thomas’ Summa theologiae is the crowning glory of the use that can be made by applying the methodology to a new realm of knowledge. The very first question of the Summa is a masterpiece of Aristotelian methodology.” Issued in paper. KSM ,LC,UTL

Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press, c1971. (Bucknell Renaissance texts in translation) [7], 8-351, [1] pp. In his introduction, Guarino writes: “The theme of man’s effort to acquire virtù and give the imprint of reason to all aspects of his life is central to Alberti’s Della Famiglia, as well as to the rest of his works and his life. In solemn tones, Alberti announces this theme in the Preface to his Della Famiglia, where he points out that ancient histories, our elders’ recollection, and our own experience bear witness to the destructive effect of time. Indeed, the ubi sunt theme casts its melancholy shadows over the opening page of Alberti’s work: once mighty and glorious families have been dispersed; worldfamous names are now forgotten. But we soon see that we are dealing with a new variation, for instead of bewailing man’s fate and shedding tears of submission and resignation, Alberti presents a question which has aroused his interest: what brings about this destruction? Is it Fortune? ... Alberti categorically denies the power of Fortune over man. If we fall, it is not because of Fortune, but because of our own failure to make the best use of reason, because of our own lack of virtù. As for the second question, what can we do, the entire work provides the answer. We can examine our institutions, we can apply to them the dictates of reason, and let virtù be our guide.

Hall reviewed this publication for Speculum (v. 49, no. 1), and wrote: “The ‘Almanus M anuscript’ is the shop notebook of a clock repairman active in Rome from c. 1475-c. 1485, in which thirty clocks are described and diagrammatically depicted. Its name derives from that of its maker, one Frater Paulus Almanus, who is otherwise unknown to historians. We may assume that he was a Franciscan or Dominican, apparently a lay-brother, and of German origin. While at Rome he traded in, cleaned, adjusted and repaired clocks from at least November 1477 until about February 1483 or later; among his customers were several cardinals and other Church dignitaries.

His notebook consists of drawings of gears and other significant parts from these clocks, together with written descriptions indicating how they were assembled together. ... One highly important aspect of the Almanus notebook is that it retains the authentic feel of the workshop about it. The simplicity of its form, the crudity of its Latin and its generally unfinished character all argue that it was never intended to be published in any manner. Apparently Brother Paul intended it as an aid to his memory and his (sometimes deficient) technical understanding. The notebook’s utter lack of pretension enhances its value as a source. Through it, we can see that even the quotidian work of a humble repairman active in a city not famed for its advanced clocks nevertheless encompassed a wide variety of sophisticated horological mechanisms. ... As editor, J. H. Leopold shows not only an admirable knowledge of early clocks, but also a fine sense of how to handle the difficulties presented by his subject.” LC,PIMS,ROM

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

This translation is based on the scholarly edition of the Ragionemanti prepared by Giovanni Aquilecchia and published in 1969. The reviewer for the Times Literary Supplement comments: “The dialogues are more than colourful pictures of Renaissance low life, though they are certainly that. One of Aretino’s aims was to satirize other writers, Petrarch and Bembo in particular, for their artificial language. Hence the parodies of Petrarchan sonnets and the story of the whore who insisted that ‘one should say “aperture” and not “window”, “portal” and not “door”, “countenance” and not “face”’, a crack at Bembo who had formulated similar distinctions between U and non-U [now dated terms themselves] only a few years before. Such literary satire naturally leads on to social satire. The speakers in the dialogues have little good to say about the clergy, who are portrayed as hypocrites, or about nobles, who are shown as ridiculously conceited; their preference, and Aretino’s, is for the ordinary people as for ordinary language because they are natural not artificial. When Nanna teaches Pippa how to watch her table manners, it is difficult not to suspect a parody of Castiglione’s Courtier.” Rosenthal’s translation is described as being in a “lively colloquial American which will do well enough for anyone who is not too precise about points of detail.” KSM ,M ichigan,UTL

The subtitle to that edition states “composed for the use of the missionaries of the Society of Jesus.” Beschi (1680-1747) was an Italian Jesuit missionary, linguist and writer. Born in the Veneto, he joined the Jesuit order in 1698, and was sent to south India in 1710, where he studied Sanskrit, Telugu, and Tamil. Towards the end of his life,

Bibliography 1971 in 1744, he was made Rector of of the College of M anapad, in Tamil Nadu (it is believed that St. Francis Xavier visited M anapad in 1452).

In addition to Italian, his mother tongue, he had mastered Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Portuguese, Spanish and French; and of the Indian languages he was learned in the Sanscrit, Tamul, Teloogoo, Hindostani and Persian. The two latter he is stated to have acquired in the short space of three months, for the express purpose of obtaining an interview with Chunda Saib, the Nabob; who was so astonished at his genius, that he presented him with a palanquin; bestowed on him the name of Ismatti Sunnyasi; and gave him, for his maintenance, the four villages, Bokalum, M alwai, Arasur, and Nullur, in the Trichinopoly District, which yielded a revenue of twelve thousand rupees per annum.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Edited with an introduction, English translation, and commentary, by Francis S. Benjamin, Jr. and G. J. Toomer. Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1971. (The University of Wisconsin publications in medieval science; 16) [6], vii-xvi, [2], 3-490, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, tables. Johannes Campanus (1220-1296), from Novara, was an astrologer, astronomer, and mathematician. His Theorica planetarum described the motions of the planets, attempted to determine their retrograde motion, and gave a geometrical description and instructions on building a planetary equatorium to determine the longitudinal positions of the planets. In his review of this edition, Curtis Wilson writes: “The text of Campanus’ Theoricae that Benjamin and Toomer have arrived at gives all variant readings that could affect meaning or interpretation. The English translation is accurate and eminently readable. The lore scattered throughout the commentary, ranging from matters of Hindu and Arabic astronomy to the origin in Biblical exegesis of the concepts of the empyrean and crystalline heavens, will gladden scholars’ hearts. This volume resurrects an important and revealing piece of the medieval astronomical and cosmological tradition.” Isis, vol. 64, no. 1 (M arch, 1973) In 1260 Campanus published a Latin edition, with commentary, of Euclid’s Elements, based on an Arabic, and possibly an earlier Latin translation of the Greek text. This work remained popular into the sixteenth century, and was printed some fourteen times by 1560. He was a chaplain to Pope Urban IV, and personal physician to Pope Boniface VIII, and is reported to have travelled to Arabia and Spain. In astrology, he devised a system of twelve houses for the horoscope, still known as the Campanus system. Text in Latin and English on facing pages. The editors write: “The translation is intended to elucidate the text rather than to replace it. Thus, it follows the structure of the Latin as closely as is compatible with intelligibility. However, it has frequently been necessary to add words or phrases to bring out the full sense of the text or to produce idiomatic English.” Based on Benjamin’s thesis for Columbia University (1951).

Boursy and White write: “An important link in the chain of writings correlating clinical symptoms and signs with pathological findings after death, which culminated in the masterpiece of M orgagni in 1761 [De sedibus et causis morborum; The Seats and Causes of Diseases], was this book on ‘sudden deaths’ published in 1707 by one of the greatest physicians of his time, Giovanni Maria Lancisi. His interests and contributions in the advancement of medical knowledge were many and important, especially in the broad field of public health. ... In 1705 in the spring and continuing for a good many months there was a rash of sudden deaths in Rome, so numerous, especially in prominent people, that the population became alarmed and there was some fear that God was displeased with the Romans and that they had better leave the city. To control this fear, Giovanni M aria Lancisi, physician to the Vatican, and Pope Clement XI, who were very close friends and together ‘made to order’ to face such an emergency, decided that they must carry out post-mortem examinations of the next individuals who were to die in this way. And so the Pope issued an edict requesting that Dr. Lancisi perform such autopsies. ... Al kinds of diseases are mentioned in the autopsies. Not infrequently, multiple pathological conditions were manifest and there was often a considerable amount of chronic cardiovascular disease involving not only the heart but also the aorta and the brain.” GLX,LC,NLM

A reprint of the translation published in 1927; the Italian text was first published in 1883. Luca Landucci, an apothecary in Florence, lived from 1436 to 1516. Concerning him and his diary Del Badia writes: “That Luca was a kind-hearted and mild man, although living at a time when party hatred and the continual spectacle of tortures and executions hardened the hearts of the best men, one sees on every page. Through strong religious feeling and love of liberty, he was one of the ardent followers of Savonarola; but the misfortunes of his neighbours always grieved him, even when the sufferers were not of his party. ... This Diary ... was not put together from the vague and uncertain chatter of the customers; but that which the author had not witnessed himself he derived from reliable sources, for there is no doubt that he had relations with men who took part in the

Government, the holders of different offices, and persons on the staff of the embassies; and, by his own showing, he was on friendly terms with the members of the Prior’s household.” LC,M emorial

Oxon.; with contemporary accounts of the sieges of Nicosia and Famagusta. London: Zeno Booksellers & Publishers, 1971. [5], vi-vii, [2], 2-199, [1] pp. Cobham writes: “The Abbé M ariti [1736-1806; an official of the Imperial and Tuscan consulates] arrived in Cyprus from Leghorn February 2, 1760, and left it on his return to Florence, October 6, 1767. His work owes little to previous writers on Cyprus ... he relies almost entirely on his own notes of what he had seen and heard. And herein lies its value, for he is observant and conscientious. The book stands as the best account of the condition of Cyprus in the third quarter of the [18 th] century, and as such I leave it, hardly attempting by additions or corrections to bring it up to date.” The translation by Cobham (1852-1915) was first published in Nicosia by Herbert E. Clarke in 1895. The present book is a reprint of the second edition, published by Cambridge University Press in 1909. For the new edition, Cobham added a translation of Giovanni Pietro Contarini’s account of the siege of Nicosia (1570) from his Historia delle cose successe dal principio della guerra mossa da Selim Ottomano a’ Venetiani fino al dì della gran Giornata vittoriosa contra Turchi (Venice, 1572), and of conte Nestore M artinengo’s account of the siege

395 of Famagusta (1571), Relatione di tutto il successo di Famagosta (Venice, 1572). M artinengo’s pamphlet was translated into English almost immediately by William M alim, and was published in London, also in 1572. The Turkish successes on Cyprus were followed by the decisive Venetian victory at the naval battle of Lepanto, 1571. LC,UTL

A facsimile reprint of the edition published in London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, Paternoster-Row, in 1796. Burney writes, in his preface: “The history of a hero, is to be found in his public transactions; and that of a man of letters, in his private correspondence. ... of M etastasio, whose writings are well known to breathe the most noble sentiments, and purest morality we wished to know how his private life corresponded with his public principles. And how could this be better discovered by a foreigner, at the distance of London from Vienna, than by his Letters? His countrymen, the Italians, almost equally distant from his residence during more than fifty years of his existence, seem to know as little concerning his private life, as we do in England, except from his letters; few of which were published, when most of his biographers went to work.” M etastasio’s correspondents included his friend M arianna Benti Bulgarini, “La Romanina,” and the famous castrato Farinelli (1705-1782), with whom he corresponded for half a century, to the end of their lives.

Paolo Veneto (ca. 1370-1428) was born in Udine, and joined the Augustinian order at the age of fourteen. He studied at Padua, and spent three years at Oxford. As Doctor of Arts and Theology, he taught at Padua, Siena, and Perugia. Pope Gregory XII designated him Prior General of the Augustinians in 1409, and he also served as ambassador of the Venetian Republic. He was an important thinker, and one of the most prominent and interesting logicians of the M iddle Ages. His main contributions to the history of logic concern the notion of formal distinction and the analysis of predication. His work was influenced by John Wyclif, Duns Scotus, Thomas Aquinas, Giles of Rome, William of Ockham, John Buridan, and others, so that he sometimes played mutually incompatible theses against each other. This contributes to making his works stimulating and enriching from an historical point of view, but also makes it difficult to grasp his own ideas in their relationships and unity.

397 Thompson writes: “As the first great figure of the Renaissance, Petrarch has a singular claim to our attention; and like Erasmus and Voltaire — the only other writers who have dominated an age in comparable fashion — he holds as much interest for historians as for students of literature. This volume focuses on Petrarch’s secular career, his relationships with the princes (temporal and spiritual) and men of letters of his own century. Especially full representation is accorded the correspondence with Boccaccio, whose poem on Dante is also included. I have attempted to present a fairly complete biographical portrait through a chronological arrangement of texts and through annotations which provide an additional measure of continuity. These texts have been selected with a view to illustrating, as far as possible within the compass of a single volume, every major phase of Petrarch’s life and works. Several are here translated into English for the first time.” Also issued in paper. CRRS,LC,USL

7166 RIPA, Cesare [Iconologia (1593). German, Latin and Italian] Baroque and Rococo pictorial imagery: the 175860 Hertel edition of Ripa’s ‘Iconologia’ with 200

engraved illustrations. Cesare Ripa; introduction, translations and 200 commentaries by Edward A. Maser, Professor of Art, The University of Chicago. New York: Dover Publications, c1971. (Dover pictorial archive series) [9], viii-xxi, [3] pp., 200 leaves, [22] pp.: ill., facsims. M aser writes: “This first modern English-language edition of the Iconologia of Cesare Ripa is a republication, much amplified with notes and thus rendered more useful for the contemporary reader, of the finest illustrated edition of one of the most famous handbooks of allegories, personifications, and symbols in the history of art. Ripa’s book is the product of a time when there was, unlike today, a fairly common agreement on the way in which ideas, often very abstract ones, could be intelligibly and effectively represented visually. This compendium of suggestions for depicting such things as the virtues and vices, the emotions, the seasons, the parts of the globe, etc., was the result of a great degree of study and a great deal of assimilation of all that had been written on such matters before. Based on writings both ancient and medieval, it attributed religious meanings, or at any rate philosophical ones, to all aspects of the visible world and even to pagan symbols and deities. It was intended largely for poets, orators, and preachers, providing them with suitable metaphors and similes. It soon became clear, however, that the book was most useful to the other part of its readership — artists and others concerned with the visual representation of such things — and it became, in short, a handbook of iconography, of subject-matter, for them. (Ripa had in mind not only painters and sculptors, but also theatrical designers and the builders of elaborate wedding and funeral decorations).” Ripa (ca. 1560-ca. 1623) was born Giovanni Campani in Perugia (Ripa was a pseudonym given to him when he became a member of the Accademia degli Intronati in Siena). As a young man he gained fame as a chef and majordomo in the service of Cardinal Antonio M aria Salviati. It was while working for the cardinal that he began to compile his great book, on which he continued to work for the rest of his life. The first edition and the second (1602) were published without illustrations. M aser writes: “Ripa himself produced an enlarged edition in Rome in 1603, to which he added over four hundred items, and for which woodcut illustrations were made, allegedly on the designs of Giuseppe Cesare, Cavaliere d’Arpino, one of the most popular and fashionable painters of the day. From this time on, all editions of the work were illustrated, the next appearing in 1607. ... The Hertel edition ... remains unique in the whole history of the publication of Ripa’s Iconologia, for it alone consists almost exclusively of visual materials, applying, one might say, the principle which motivated the work in the first place — the representation of abstract ideas through visual means — to the book itself” Issued in paper.

Stewart writes: “M arino appears to have been a real enthusiast at a time when the crusading spirit was fast dying out in Europe; possibly his zeal for the faith may have been quickened by the perilous position of his family principality of Naxos, which was certain to be one of the first provinces of Christendom to succumb to a forward movement of the Turk. He was learned with the learning of the M iddle Ages, and had access to the best society of his time; ... but the most notable feature of his great work is the collection of maps appended to it. Of these, that of the M editerranean has unluckily perished; but there remain a M appa M undi, a map of the Holy Land, and a map of the coast of Asia M inor, Syria, and Egypt; besides plans of Jerusalem and of Acre. ... M arino Sanuto presented his four maps and two copies of his book, one bound in red and the other in yellow, to Pope John XXI on September 24, 1321.” M arino himself sailed extensively in the eastern M editerranean. His maps of the Holy Land, of Asia M inor, Syria, and Egypt, and the plan of Jerusalem are included with this selection from his book, which was published by the Society in London in 1896.

The documents and extracts from documents are organized under the rubrics economic structure, the family, collectivities, violence and its control, crime and punishment, public mores, the popolo minuto [the poor], and aberrants and outgroups. Brucker notes: “I have rarely chosen documents which indicate how Florentines thought about their social order; rather, I have tried to illustrate modes of behavior, and particularly, the tensions between individuals and the community. ... The records of Florence’s criminal courts are well represented in this documentary collection, for several reasons. They describe people in trouble, men and women who had violated (or were charged with violating) society’s norms. They indicate the extremes to which they were driven, and often the motives which inspired them. They also reveal the price which society exacted for behavior which it condemned.” Issued in paper.

The title was inspired by Polanco’s Industriae. Two preliminary chapters describe the conditions necessary to bring about a successful cure of the soul and the manner in which gentleness and effectiveness (suavitas et efficacia) should be joined in good government. The sixteen following chapters apply these principles to many spiritual illnesses, such as aridity and distractions in prayer, interior languor, disobedience, vanity, laxity in religious observance, imaginary illnesses, aversions for the Institute of Superiors, a worldly spirit, stubbornness, impatience, a spirit of complaining, discouragement and scruples.” Claudio Acquaviva (1543-1615) was the fifth General of the Society of Jesus, 15811615.

Remarkably, the Latin text of De Pictura was last printed in 1649, and last translated into English in 1751 (J. R.

ALDROVANDI, Ulisse [Ornithologiae (1600-03). Abridgement. Selections] The fowles of heaven, or, History of birdes. By Edward Topsell; edited by Thomas P. Harrison and F. David Hoeniger. Austin: The University of Texas, c1972. [6], vii-xxxvi, [3], 4-332 pp.: ill. (chiefly col.); facsims. Edited from the manuscript by Topsell (1572-1625?) of his translation and alphabetical abridgement of Aldrovandi’s Ornithologiae (covering A-C). Book XIV, De pulveratricibus domesticis, is omitted; it had previously been published as Aldrovandi on Chickens, translated from the Latin by L. R. Lind, by University of Oklahoma Press in 1963. Aldrovandi (1522-1605?) Was a Renaissance naturalist and physician noted for his systematic and accurate observations on animals, plants, and minerals. His mother was a first cousin of Pope Gregory XIII (1502-1585), and this relationship was helpful to Aldrovandi during his life. In 1553 Aldrovandi received his medical degree, and in the same year he was admitted to the Collegio dei Dottori of Bologna, which entitled him not only to practice medicine, but also to teach at the University. Aldrovandi was made a full professor in 1561, and was later appointed inspector of drugs and pharmacies, an appointment confirmed over local opposition by Pope Gregory. The official pharmacopoeia that he prepared, Antidotarii Bononiensis epitome (1574), fixing the exact characteristics of the drugs and medicinal substances that pharmacists would be required to use in filling prescriptions, became a model for such works. Gregory XIII granted him a large sum of money to aid him in the publication of his works, which are noted for their folio format and their detailed woodcuts and engravings. Aldrovandi carried out studies in botany, teratology, embryology, ichthyology, and ornithology. Only four of his works were published in his lifetime, the three volumes of his Ornithologiae, and De animalibus insectis libri VII (1602). The Ornithologiae was edited and abridged early in the seventeenth century by an English scientist and writer, Edward Topsell (1572-1625?), but Topsell’s work was only edited and published in 1972, though a section from Ornithologiae was translated by L.

In her introduction, Corrigan writes: “At first sight Alfieri’s politico-philosophical treatises, Of Tyranny [also translated by

Bibliography 1972 Corrigan and M olinaro and published in 1961]and The Prince and Letters, written during the late eighteenth century when all the traditional institutions of Western Europe, consumed by internal dry-rot, were about to crumble and be replaced by a new fabric of society, might seem to have little relevance for the two centuries that followed. Rising Liberalism was expected to dissipate forever the concept of Tyranny, and with the spread of education the Prince’s function as the sole patron of letters should have become obsolete. But as the generations that succeeded Alfieri’s were to learn painfully, the human heart changes in expression but not in impulse. ... The topic of Alfieri’s second treatise, The Prince and Letters, may be simplified as the conflict between freedom of publication and financial independence; its significance has been protean in change since he formulated it, and perhaps has never been more relevant to contemporary conditions than it is today.” Also issued in a microfiche edition.

7206 ARIOSTO, Lodovico [Orlando furioso (1532)] Ludovico Ariosto’s Orlando furioso. Translated into English heroical verse by Sir John Harington (1591); edited with an introduction by Robert McNulty. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1972. [9], x-liv, [1], 2-588, [4] pp., [4] leaves of plates: ill. The illustrations reproduce the title page and engravings from the 1591 edition. In his appreciation, for the Times Literary Supplement, D. S. Carne-Ross writes: “Books have their fates. First published in 1591, Sir John Harington’s translation of the Orlando Furioso went into two further editions in just over forty years, after which it was not to see the light of day until provisionally exhumed by the Centaur Press in 1962. Here it is again, a decade later, dressed this time in full academicals, the text tidied up and supplied with an apparatus criticus, adorned with the handsome plates of which Harington was rightly proud: the Orlando Furioso in English Heroical Verse for us all, lay or learned, to enjoy.” Carne-Ross goes on to discuss the impediments which Harington’s admirable translation lets stand in the way of a full understanding of the poem, and suggests that: “One way to approach the Orlando Furioso is to read it with an eye to what Harington misses.” After giving a number of examples, Carne-Ross states:

403 “Harington fails to mark the juxtaposition of discordant modes, hence what he gives us is merely one more adventurous tale. Yet the quickest life of Ariosto’s poem is in these juxtapositions. Consistently, programmatically, the Furioso refuses single vision and dissolves the fixities no less of narrative or rhetorical expectation than of scene and character and moral category. By countless sudden changes of tone and minute subversions of genre, Ariosto creates a fluid discontinuous world where the only constant is perpetual change.” KVU,M ichiganOCLC

This little tract was first published by Bindoni in Venice, and was translated into French (1545), English (1548, translated by Edward Courtenay, and 1573, translated by A[rthur] G[olding]), Croatian (1563), and Dutch, German, and Spanish. The book soon came to the attention of the Church, and was denounced for its supposed Lutheran tendencies. It was put in the Index Expurgatorius in 1549 by Giovanni Della Casa, author of the Galateo, who was at that time Papal Nuncio to Venice. The book was thought to be the work of Aonio Paleario (1503-1570), and therefore an apology for the reformed doctrines. Several later editions of the work appeared under Paleario’s name, but it is now accepted as the work of an unknown Benedictine priest from M antua, given the name Benedetto. Its second English translator saw the tract as a means of uniting Christians, and wrote: “Wold God it could please all to become one in that one Christ, whose name we al do carie. In this litle booke is that benefite which commith by Christ crucified to the christians truly and comfortably handeled: which benefite if all christians did truly understand and

In his introduction he notes: “Before the appearance of John Payne’s magniloquent English version in 1886, Boccaccio’s taste for the erotic and the profane had been consistently glossed over or toned down in varying degrees by his English translators, so that it would be quite wrong to attribute his enduring popularity to this particular aspect of his work [though 20th -century editions consistently emphasize this aspect]. Boccaccio’s gifts as a storyteller, his phenomenal and absolute mastery of a genre in which there are few if any outstanding examples in English literature, (a genre which nourishes and sustains other forms of literature such as the drama and narrative poetry), provide a more plausible explanation of his extraordinary fortuna in the Anglo-Saxon world.” Concerning the translation, McWilliam comments on

Boccaccio’s “long, elaborate, beautifully balanced sentences, with their trailing clusters of dependent clauses, frequently so arranged as to reproduce the characteristic hendecasyllabic rhythms of Italian poetry, and employing all the stylistic devices of medieval rhetoric,” and his “whole series of vivid and racy colloquialisms, to be found more especially in the tales that are set in the more humble social milieux of medieval Italy.” On the task of the translator, he quotes Dante’s “sombre warning” from the first book of the Convivio: “Nothing that is harmonized by the bond of the M use can be transformed from its own language into another without upsetting all its sweetness and harmony.” Issued in paper; reprinted fourteen times by 1987. *,NYP,USL

M artin’s translations of the poems in the Vita nuova first appeared in his essay on Dante and Beatrice, published in Tait’s Magazine in 1845. M artin states that: “He

had hoped that some abler hand would long since have clothed the entire work in an English dress; but no other translation having appeared, the present has been completed, in the belief that it would not be unwelcome to those students of Dante who might be deterred by the difficulty and frequent obscurity of the original, from becoming familiar with it.” M artin mentions Dante Gabriel Rossetti’s translation, which was announced, and in the event published in 1861, before his own appeared. M artin’s edition also includes: “translations of all Dante’s authentic minor poems of the same period, – these being not only of the highest value in themselves, but also for the light which they reflect upon the Vita nuova.” This reprint corresponds most closely with the third Blackwood edition, published in Edinburgh in 1893.

Some doubt if all aright. Alunno for his foster-children hath framed a worlde of their wordes. Venuti taken much paines in some verie fewe authors; and our William Thomas hath done prettilie; and if all faile, although we misse or mistake the worde, yet make we vp the sence.

Binns, in Studies in the Renaissance, vol. 19 (1972), pp. 224-272. Gentili was the Regius Professor of Civil Law at Oxford University from 1587 until his death in 1608. His defense of poetry was based on a speech which Gentili had delivered at one of the University graduation ceremonies. The English title would be Commentary on the Third Law of the Code [of Justinian] ‘On Teachers and Doctors.’ Binns writes that from his knowledge of law and classical writers: “Gentili distills his clear and succinct statements on the main issues debated by

407 sixteenth-century literary criticism— on universals and particulars, on catharsis, on whether imitation or verse constituted the essence of poetry, on the aims, ends, and methods of poetry.” He adds: “Gentili’s defense of poetry and acting has escaped notice because it is written in Latin and is in the form of a gloss on a strange law of an obscure Roman emperor.” UTL

By John Edward Taylor, published in London by Chapman and Hall in 1855. Taylor wrote: “The work from which the plot and story of Shakespere’s ‘Othello’ are taken, belongs to that class of Italian novels which arose out of the popularity of Boccaccio’s Decamerone, and was fostered by the taste prevalent in Italy during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. Although occasionally we meet with a tale of merit or interest, and a certain charm in style and language, these but partially atone for a coarse licentiousness, a reflection of the time, which, notwithstanding that it received the seal and license of the Inquisitor, who proclaims them consonos sanctæ Ecclesiæ et ab Apostolica Fide non abhorrere, offend the moral sense of a purer age.” OCLC,UTL

Penman writes: “There are several previous translations of the book into English, but all of them leave something to be desired in method, or accuracy, or both. The first translation, and several subsequent English versions, were based on the first edition of 1827, rather than the revised and definitive edition of 1840. Some of them have been extensively and badly cut, or use pseudo-archaic jargon for the dialogue — falling into the very trap that the original was the first to avoid [Manzoni made his characters speak the colloquial Italian of his own day]. The most recent version is that of Archibald Colquhoun, published by J. M . Dent in 1951 [see entry 5116]. Even this contains a surprising number of mistakes of interpretation. It is also sometimes too literal, with extensive passages in the historic present — a device which never sounds right in modern English.” Penman mentions the possible influence of Water Scott, but notes only: “To the extent that Scott had shown that it was possible to achieve literary success with a historical novel (then a new genre), he clearly must count as a precursor of M anzoni.” Issued in paper; this translation was in its 11 th Penguin printing by 1999. *,NYP,USL

By John Baptist Piranesi knight and architect. Wilton-Ely notes: “The theme of this work is the imaginative application of antique forms to the needs of decorative design.

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

The chimney-piece is chosen for principal treatment since, as Piranesi explains, it is a peculiarly modern device with no preconceived formula of decoration. As in his earlier work, Piranesi forestalls criticism that his designs are excessively loaded with ornament, by using the musical analogy of counterpoint where multiplicity is artistically under control. The Diverse maniere is notable for demonstrating the first extensive use of material from Egyptian sources.” LC,OCLC,YRK

M ariano Taccola has been described as a designer of military devices, but the drawings and texts of De ingeneis show his interest in the field of technology to encompass far more than the machines of attack and defense. He deals actively, at times creatively, with bridges and their foundations, harbors, harbor equipment for the loading of freight, aqueducts both above and below ground, equipment for operating the wells at the end of an aqueduct, mill houses, and the machines and power plants associated with them.” The fifty plates, from the Munich Codex Latinus 197 and Florence Codex Palatinus 766, are given with the Latin text and English translation.

Jackson writes: “The ability to use hand weapons well was a responsibility of Elizabethan gentlemen and yeomen, but our knowledge of Elizabethan fencing techniques, and their use in Elizabethan plays, is surprisingly meager. Our knowledge of Elizabethan fencing has been fading because of the transience of such skills and because early fencing knowledge has been hidden under three centuries of continuous fencing developments.”

[50], 1-565, [3] pp. Dryden’s Fables, his last major work, was published in the Spring of 1700, two months before his death. It was well received, and Dryden was delighted. He wrote to his friend M rs. Steward: “The Ladies of the Town have infected you at a distance: they are all of your opinion; and like my last Book of Poems, better than any thing they have formerly seen of mine.” The fables are verse paraphrases of tales by Chaucer, Ovid, and Boccaccio (‘Sigismonda and Guiscardo,’ ‘Theodore and Honoria,’ and ‘Cymon and Iphigenia’), and of the first book of the Iliad. In his introductory note to the facsimile edition, James Kinsley writes: “This last book of Dryden’s is one of his greatest and most influential, and his most delightful. It displays, at the end of his life and almost at the limit of his strength, his inimitable range of styles and tones, his sensitivity to character and circumstance, his dramatist’s love of psychological analysis and his poet’s response to place and atmosphere, and his prodigious energy” [Fables runs to nearly twelve thousand lines]. On Dryden’s versions from the Decamerone, Kinsley comments: “Boccaccio is not, like Chaucer, a mediaeval primitive to be civilised and sophisticated; in 1700 he is still ‘the Standard of purity in the Italian tongue’, and the challenge here is that of turning a pure, strong, economical Italian prose into English baroque verse. ... In these versions of Boccaccio the direct and simple Italian prose is transformed into a decorated and imaginative poetry. The even narrative of Boccaccio is given fluid energy; objectivity makes way for poetic engagement.” The original title page reads: Fables Ancient and Modern; Translated into Verse, from Homer, Ovid, Boccace, & Chaucer: with Original Poems. By M r Dryden. ... London: Printed for Jacob Tonson, within Gray’s Inn Gate next Gray’s Inn Lane.

7307 BOCCALINI, Traiano [Pietra del paragone politico (1615). Selections] Workes, Utrick, 1624. Thomas Scott. Amsterdam: Theatrum Orbis Terrarum; New York: Da Capo Press, 1973. (The English experience, its record in early printed books published in facsimile; no. 621) 1 v. (multiple paginations): ill.; ports. The Workes of Thomas Scott (1580?-1626) includes 24 titles, many of which are pamphlets that both generated and capitalized on anti-Spanish sentiment. The clergyman Scott escaped from England, but was assassinated in Utrecht. It was fifty years before his pamphlets “ceased to pique the interests of a scandal-hungry reading public” (Folger Institute. Sites of cultural stress from Reformation to revolution. 2003). It was natural that Scott should choose to translate and publish this selection from Boccalini’s little collection of satires, many of them anti-Spanish. The Pietra del paragone politico was published after Boccalini’s death in Venice in November 1613. His contemporaries speculated that he had been killed by agents of Spain (many of the satires had circulated in manuscript form). The title page of the selection translated and published by Scott reads: Newes from Parnassus: The Politicall Touchstone, Taken from Mount Parnassus, whereon the Governments of the greatest Monarchies of the World are touched. Printed at Helicon. 1622. The pagination is [3], 4-92, [4] pp. Scott translated sixteen of Boccalini’s thirty-one satires. KVU,LC,UTL

(English recusant literature, 1558-1640; vol. 128) [11], 4-171, [5], 3-120, [62] pp. The work by De Dominis makes up the last section of the book, with the original title page: The Second Manifesto of Marcus Antonio De Dominis, Archbishop of Spalatto: wherein for his better satisfaction, and the satisfaction of others, he publicly repenteth and recanteth his former errors, and setteth downe the cause of his leaving England, and all Pretestant countries, to returne unto the Catholicke Romane Church; written by himselfe in Latin, and translated into English by M. G. K. Liege: By Guillaume Hollius, with permission of Superiours, 1623. See also entries 7824 and 9718. The New Catholic Encyclopedia introduces De Dominis (1560-1624) as an “Italian ecclesiastic, scientist, and apostate.” He was born on the island of Rab, just off the coast of presentday Croatia. Marco was educated at the Jesuit college in Loreto, and completed his training and joined the order. After further study at Verona and two successful years teaching at Padua, he moved on to Brescia. In 1600, already a bishop, he was promoted to Doctor of Theology in Padua University. De Dominis sided with the Venetian Republic in its conflict with Rome. He resigned his office and moved to Venice in 1615. In his writings he asserted that the pope had no jurisdiction over bishops, but was only primus inter pares. His beliefs made it necessary for De Dominis to flee, first to Switzerland, then to England. His later renunciation of his apostasy, published in the pamphlet translated here, discredited him both with the Protestants and with the many Catholic opponents of Papal worldly power. Protected for a time by Pope Gregory XV, he was imprisoned in Castel Sant’Angelo by Gregory’s successor Urban VIII in 1624, and died there in September of that year. In the vindictive manner of the time, his case was continued after his death. He was declared a relapsed heretic, and his exhumed body was burned together with his books on the Campo di Fiori.

421 New York: Russell & Russell, 1973. [17], 2-544 pp. A reprint of the edition published by Cambridge University Press in 1923. John Cann Bailey reviewed the original edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and suggested that Leopardi was, after Dante, the best known in England of all Italian poets. Concerning the translations, Bailey notes that: “M r. Bickersteth’s is a remarkable achievement, though even he cannot always give in English the medial rhymes which Leopardi loved to insert in his stanzas. Still, to anyone who can first read the Italian words, even if with occasional difficulty, M r. Bickersteth provides always a useful, and sometimes even a beautiful echo.” Bickersteth begs to differ in a letter printed the following week. He states that he has, so far as he knows, reproduced all but one of Leopardi’s medial rhymes, and goes on to say that his intention was to be accurate in his translations, rather than free and bold in the style of the translations by Pope (of the Iliad) and Fitzgerald (the Rubaiyat) mentioned by Bailey.

In the decade preceding 1900, for example, Peano and members of his school were leaders in contemporary developments in logic. If the initiative then passed to Bertrand Russell in England, this was because Peano inspired him when they met at the International Philosophical Congress in Paris in August, 1900. Russell has said (in his Autobiography): ‘The Congress was a turning point in my intellectual development, because there I met Peano.’” Peano was also highly influential in the development of the calculus (see entry 0090).

7349 PETRARCA, Francesco [Liber sine nomine (1351-53)] Petrarch’s Book without a name: a translation of the Liber sine nomine. By Norman P. Zacour, University of Toronto. Toronto: The Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1973. [11], 12-128 pp. Zacour writes: “The papal court of Avignon came in for a good deal of criticism in its day, and has not had too good a press since. There were English complaints about its favouritism toward the French, Italian complaints about its prolonged stay in Avignon, episcopal complaints about its continual interference in local church affairs, and individual complaints about the avarice of its officials, all of which and more find an echo in modern historical literature. Nothing, however, compares in the scope of its polemic with Petrarch’s Liber sine nomine. M ore important, whether he is directly cited or not his opinions have nearly always coloured modern impressions of the Avignonese papacy. It is difficult, however, to weigh these opinions out of context, and it has therefore seemed to me a useful task to provide a complete translation of the Liber sine nomine so that one might more easily test the temper of the work as a whole before coming to any conclusions about how balanced Petrarch’s assessment may have been.”

Bergin, “with some trepidation,” translated the verses into English hexameters, “following the metre of the original.” He writes that the poem: “depicts the lifelong conflict of the poet, both as a man and as an artist torn between his conviction of the values of Christian other-worldliness and his enthusiasm for the classical tradition, between David and Virgil, as he puts it here.” Bergin’s translation of the complete Bucolicum carmen was published by Yale University Press in 1974.

Kennedy. The Hague; Paris: Mouton, c1973. [5], 6-163, [1] pp. The texts by the Italian scholars are Valla’s “Encomium Sancti Thomae Aquinatis,” “In praise of Saint Thomas Aquinas,” a sermon delivered in Rome in 1457, translated by M . Esther Hanley; Cortese’s introduction to his Distinctiones in IV Libros Sententiarum (1504), “Introduction to the First Book of the ‘Sentences,’” translated by William Felver; Cajetan’s sermon “On the immortality of minds” (1503), published among his Opuscula Omnia (1581), translated by James K. Sheridan; and Baccillieri’s “Whether the human intellect is one in number in all men,” published in his Lectura in tres libros de Anima (1508), translated by Kennedy. Valla’s sermon, delivered, at the request of the Dominicans, on the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas (M arch 7), is actually an attack on Aquinas and scholasticism. Of the second selection, Kennedy writes: “Paul Cortese attempts to convince scholastic philosophers (and theologians) to master the new classicism and to use it to make their writings more palatable, more worthy of the message they contain.” Cajetan considers that from his arguments the soul’s immortality is clearly proven philosophically. Baccillieri presents the Averroist arguments in favour of the unicity of the possible intellect. CRRS,LC,UTL

Oxford: at the Clarendon Press, 1973. [7], vi-xxxiv, [7], 6-232, [2] pp., [2] pp. of plates: ill.; facsim. In his review essay for Italica, Anthony Oldcorn notes that when, the year before his death, Tasso published the six books of the Discorsi del poema eroico, it was his intention: “to defend his lifework against the petty and ephemeral attacks of his contemporaries, not by plunging directly into the polemic on their level, as he had done, for example, in his Apologia (1585), but by removing the poem from the corruptible, sublunar sphere into the realm of the absolute. The Discorsi appealed to the transcendent truth of the poetic theology that had presided over its composition. They described what the perfect poem should be. ... The sad truth is that the current, reformed version of his epic, now renamed Gerusalemme conquistata, published in Rome the year before, in 1593, had little use for so elaborate a shield. ... The text posterity has chosen to remember is that of the Liberata. In any case, the controversies touched off or exacerbated by the appearance of the Liberata in 1581 were all but played out by the mid-nineties.” (vol. 53, no. 4, pp. 495-6) LC,UTL

[3], 4-257, [3] pp., [4] pp. and [10] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., geneal. table, ports. Oswald Tesimond (1563-1636) attended school in York together with Guy Fawkes and John and Christopher Wright. He joined the Society of Jesus in 1584, and went on the English mission in 1597. Tesimond is chiefly remembered for his role in the Gunpowder Plot. He had knowledge of the plot from Robert Catesby, but Thomas Wintour at his execution cleared the Jesuits and particularly Tesimond from any charge of counselling or advising in the plot. Tesimond escaped arrest and reached Calais. By 1610 he was settled in Italy, chiefly at Naples and M essina. His manuscript was written in poor Italian, but is one of the two most complete accounts of the plot. It was sent to Rome for the better information of the Jesuit authorities, and was probably based on the Latin work of a secular priest. Tesimond, though a Yorkshireman, spent most of his adult life in Italy, where he was known as Philip Beaumont, Beamond or Bémont. In 1621 he was Prefect of Studies an the Jesuit M essina seminary. He subsequently taught theology at the English College, Valladolid. Tesimond died and was buried in Naples. LC,OCLC,York.

7402 Alessandro Achillini (1463-1512) and his doctrine of ‘universals’ and ‘transcendentals’: a study in Renaissance Ockhamism. Herbert Stanley Matsen. Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press; London: Associated University Presses, c1974. [6], 7-332, [4] pp.; port. M atsen’s study includes many incidental translations from Achillini’s philosophical works. M atsen writes: “M ost of what we know about Achillini’s biography is derived from documents and printed works referring to his academic career. In fact we can find scant evidence referring to him outside an academic context. He was awarded degrees in both philosophy and medicine, almost surely at the University of Bologna, on September 7, 1484, and that same fall he was appointed a ‘Lecturer in Logic in the morning’ at the same University. In addition to his training in philosophy (i.e., arts) and medicine, Achillini, as his works attest, was well schooled in theology. Finally, he was something of a poet, although not so accomplished in that, apparently, as in the other subjects.” For late medieval Latin writers the ‘transcendentals’ were Being, Unity, Truth, Goodness, What or Something (Quid or Aliquid), and Thing (Res). The six ‘transcendentia’ literally ‘transcend’ or exceed in generality the Aristotelian genera or ten ‘categories.’ KSM ,LC,UTL

Association, c1974. [3], iv-vii, [1], 1-352 pp., [1] col. leaf of plates: ill. A prose translation based on the autograph manuscript as edited for M ondadori by Alberto Limentani in 1964. M cCoy writes: “Written around 1340-42, toward the end of Boccaccio’s youthful sojourn in Naples, the Teseida is a narrative poem of over 15,000 lines in twelve books with the structure and trappings of the classical epic, the ottava rima verse for of the cantari, and an intermingling of stilnovistic and popular lyric in a literary syncretism proper to an audience at once curial and bourgeois. The poem is conventionally dedicated to the mythical Fiammetta and apparently intended for a readership educated enough to appreciate ‘history, fable and figurative speech ... which ladies who are not very intelligent usually dislike,’ and unsophisticated enough to ‘yearn to hear and sometimes even to read some story or other, especially tales of love.’” In her translator’s note, M cCoy writes: “Lengthy sections in the text and the glosses have occasionally been broken up to conform to English usage. In some cases references have been clarified by the substitution of proper nouns of specific substantives for the pronouns in the original. In place of the demanding ottava rima which is the vehicle of the narrative, the translator has maintained a slightly stylized English prose in simulation of the ‘oral’ formulaic vocabulary proper to the cantari form of Boccaccio’s original.” M ichigan,NYP,UTL

For this reason the sermons constitute a valuable source for our understanding of the theology of the Seraphic Doctor. ...

(Records of civilization: sources and studies; no. 91) [7], viii-x, [3], 2-393, [3] pp. Also included with Bracciolini’s 92 letters to Niccolò Niccoli (ca. 1364-1437) are his dedicatory letter to Franciscus M arescalcus Ferrariensis, and letters to Guarinus Veronensis, Franciscus Piccolpassus, and Franciscus Barbarus, and letters to Bracciolini from Leonardo Bruni Aretino, and Franciscus Barbarus, a letter from Cincius Romanus to Franciscus de Fiana, and a letter from Bartholomeus de M ontepolitiano to Ambrosius Traversarius. Nicholas Barker reviewed M rs. Gordan’s edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and wrote: “Niccolo Niccoli (13631437) and Poggio Bracciolini (1380-1459) are the two bestknown and most attractive figures in the second phase of the

revival of classical learning at the beginning of the fifteenth century. Poggio’s letters to Niccoli are never dull; sometimes they are quite racy; whether about the recovery of old texts and antiques, or about the miseries (and occasional joys) of life in and around the papal curia in the first half of the fifteenth century, they are always interesting. The first letter to survive dates from 1406, when both were lamenting the death of Coluccio Salutati, the hero of the first phase of the Renaissance, the link that connected Poggio, Niccoli and their friends with Petrarch and Boccaccio. It ends thirty years later when Poggio, realizing the value of his correspondence, is asking for the return of his letters so that he can have them copied for publication. ... M anuscripts, and the copying of manuscripts, was a matter of absorbing interest to both. ‘For I make books not only for myself but for other people also and even for posterity, which the wise always keep in mind,’ Poggio wrote, and the possession of a scribe, even temporary and (worse) of the lowest possible morals, was something to be fully exploited. ... Both copied manuscripts themselves, and Niccoli was the adviser and supplier of exemplars to a large number of friends, other scholars, and grander patrons. This activity, inherited from Salutati, was a matter of great importance to them, and to us, since it has provided us with the roman and italic type, and the distinction between them, which we now use.” Reissued by Columbia University Press in 1991 in the series Records of Western civilization.

It also had dials showing the mean time and the times of sunrise and sunset; and the positions of the moon’s nodes (important for indicating eclipses); also an annual calendar showing the day of the month, the Dominical letter of the day, the length of the day in hours and minutes, and noting Saints’ Days and other fixed religious festivals. ...

7431 Fable and song in Italy. By E. M. Clerke. Folcroft, Pa.: Folcroft Library Editions, 1974. [12], x-xi, [2], 2-260, [2] pp. A reprint edition, limited to 100 copies, of the monograph published in 1899 in London by Grant Richards. In her preface, Clerke writes: “The aim of this little volume is twofold. First, to trace out some of the influences acting on the more popular forms of Italian song; and secondly, to offer to English readers, in the shape of translated extracts, specimens of Italian poets whose works difficulties of language have hitherto rendered inaccessible to the general public.” Concerning her translations, she notes: “M y versions are in every case line for line transcripts, that is to say, there is no transposition of the meaning, which is placed clause by clause as in the original. I have made no attempt to reproduce or imitate archaisms of diction, which would in a modern writer be affectation, but have tried to reflect the simplicity and directness of the language of my text. A translation must always be more or less a compromise between literalness and grace, but I have done my best to make the new medium as transparent a vehicle as possible for the transmission of the original author’s ideas and intentions.” The poets that Clerke translates include Boccaccio, Boiardo, Ariosto, Tasso, Giuseppe Giusti, M anzoni, and Felice Cavalotti.

Con una Appendice del centro di gravità d’alcuni Solidi. In Leida, Apresso gli Elsevirii. M .D.C.XXXVIII. Galileo’s treatise had previously been translated into English by Thomas Salusbury (1661), Thomas Weston (1730), and Crew and De Salvio (1914, frequently reprinted). “Why, we may wonder,” writes I. Bernard Cohen in the Times Literary Supplement, “has Professor Drake found it necessary to translate Galileo’s classic afresh? The reason is that the Crew-De Salvio version is not only at times misleading, but actually even masks the character of Galileo’s reasoning. One example will suffice. Crew and De Salvio would have Galileo say that he has ‘discovered by experiment’ some properties of motion that ‘have not hitherto been either observed or demonstrated.’ When this version was criticized, on the grounds that in Galileo’s Latin text the words ‘by experiment’ do not occur, one of the translators defended his version by saying that Galileo could not have found his results in any way other than by experiment. Even if true, this does not provide grounds for so radically altering Galileo’s simple word comperio (I find). Professor Drake has given an accurate and readable text. All scholars will applaud his restraint in using modern technical terms with specific meanings in physics that are decidedly post-Galilean and that would have Galileo falsely and anachronistically appear to us in a post-Newtonian guise.” Also issued in paper.

The Metropolitan Opera Encyclopedia notes: “[Alcina] has cast a spell on Ruggiero, who, in his infatuation for Alcina, has forgotten his own betrothed, Bradamante. Disguised as her brother Ricciardo, Bradamante sets off with her guardian M elisso to find Ruggiero. They are shipwrecked on Alcina’s island, where a tangle of confused identities involves them with Alcina’s sister Morgana and her rejected suitor Oronte. Eventually Ruggiero is reunited with Bradamante, M organa persuades Oronte to forgive her, Alcina loses her magical powers, and the knights are restored to human form.” The opera has been performed frequently in recent years.

I have examined a copy of this edition, which Geijsbeek donated to the University of Toronto Library in 1920. In his preface, he commented: “It was not my aim to give a complete literal translation, because much of the text is reiteration and pertains to subject-matter purely local and now entirely obsolete, which would necessitate lengthy explanations of ancient methods of no present value or use. Therefore, numerous foreign terms and ancient names have been left untranslated. Furthermore, as the book was written in contemporary Italian, or, in other words, in the local dialect of Venice, which is neither Italian nor Latin, it is extremely difficult to get local talent sufficiently trained in this work to translate it literally. ... Therefore, we are extending the translations, not so much for academic purposes as for the practical use of less pedantic people, upon the theory that they who wish to obtain knowledge of any science must first learn its history and then trace its gradual growth. There is hardly another science about which there is as much doubt and darkness as bookkeeping, and therefore we merely present this translation as a contribution to the history of bookkeeping.” LC,OCLC

Bibliography 1974 Petrarch’s Bucolicum carmen. Translated and annotated by Thomas G. Bergin; with illustrations by Deane Keller. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 1974. [8], ix-xvii, [2], 2-252 pp.: ill. C. N. J. M ann, writing for the Times Literary Supplement, found Keller’s illustrations “crude and inappropriate,” but found Bergin’s translation a “stately rendering,” and “faithful enough to the original to partake on occasions of its obscurity.” M ann notes that: “Petrarch himself spoke of his Bucolicum Carmen, a collection of twelve Latin eclogues which he wrote and rewrote over a period of some twenty years, as an ‘ambiguous kind of poem that few might understand but many might find pleasing’. Aided by this new translation, modern readers may understand the letter and yet still find the spirit exasperating. But ... the range of Petrarch’s interests, from the scholarly to the political, and the gamut of his affections, from passion to pedantry, may still be perceived.” In his 1981 review for Italica, Aldo S. Bernardo comments: “Bergin’s powers of translation seem to become increasingly effective with the years. His mastery of the English language and English versification and his extensive knowledge of Petrarch have enabled him to create in his translation an effect not dissimilar from the effect that Petrarch’s Latin must have had on the readers of his day. ... In his use of English hexameters Bergin succeeds in providing the reader with the fullest rather than the minimal meaning of Petrarch’s compact Latin. ... the hexameters succeed in achieving the goal Bergin had set for himself — a verse translation that is as literal as possible. Bergin’s defense of his decision to use verse rather than prose is likewise eminently sound: ‘Petrarch’s shepherds did not speak in prose.’” CRRS,LC,UTL

(The neglected American economists) [4], 5-414 pp. A reprint of the second edition (1895), translated at the Translations Bureau, London, and published by M acmillan. In his introduction to this reprint, Hudson notes: “Ugo Rabbeno, an Italian, came to the United States with a view of American protectionism shaped strongly by the writings of Friedrich List. Rabbeno [1863-1897] endorsed protectionism as a transition policy for countries with infant industries, but decried the isolationist extreme characteristic of much American literature in the second half of the nineteenth century. This antagonism to isolationism led him to dismiss much of the idealism that characterized the American protectionists from Carey through Patten.” Hudson concludes: “America was now passing into the third stage of its history, in which its industry was being consolidated, the condition of the working class depressed, and protection itself becoming useless to the capitalists. Now that America’s vacant lands were virtually all filled up, ‘protectionism nullifies the efforts of capitalism; the land rent threatens.’ Hardly an optimistic picture, nor an historically accurate one, but it is one which has been elevated to orthodoxy by the Turner school of historians and its followers, including today’s so-called New Left historians.” OCLC,UWL

7503 ARIOSTO, Lodovico [Plays.] The comedies of Ariosto. Translated and edited by Edmond M. Beame and Leonard G. Sbrocchi. Chicago; London: University of Chicago Press, 1975. [3], iv-xlv, [2], 2-322 pp.: port.

Ariosto’s plays are La cassaria (The Coffer), first performed in 1508, I suppositi (The Pretenders), first performed in 1509, Il negromante (The Necromancer), first performed in 1529, La Lena (Lena), first performed in 1528, and the unfinished I studenti (The Students), for which both Ariosto’s son Virginio and his brother Gabriele wrote a conclusion. This edition uses Gabriele’s continuation, which he reports was dictated to him in a dream by his dead brother. Ariosto’s plays are verse plays, with the exception of La cassaria and I suppositi (which however, also exists as a verse text). Beame and Sbrocchi provide prose translations. Concerning the translations, C. P. Brand, in the Times Literary Supplement, poses the question: “Do they in fact give a fair idea of Ariosto’s comedies to those who don’t read Italian? I think so, if one makes allowance for the rather stilted English they, like so many translators for the stage, occasionally get themselves cornered into, in their determination to put across the meaning — oaths, puns, and double-entendres.” Brand points out that these are the first English translations of Ariosto’s comedies (he passes over Gascoigne’s 1566 version of I suppositi). In his review for Italica, vol. 53, no. 4 (Winter, 1976), Florindo Cerreta of the University of Iowa points out: “The reader will notice at once that some of the texts of the Catalano edition, on which the translations are based, have been omitted ... . Hence the volume reproduces only the second redaction of I Suppositi (considered not substantially different from the first) and only the second redaction of Il Negromante. However, by way of a compromise solution, it is possible to reconstruct the text of the first version of the Necromancer by referring to its fragments reproduced at the foot of each page. Thanks to this device and to the inclusion of the verse Cassaria, one is enabled to ascertain the nature and extent of the evolution of Arioto’s craft as a dramatist. Furthermore, each play is followed by a set of most useful footnotes explaining historical allusions and linguistic matters found in the text.” M ichigan,NYP,UTL

Daniel Javitch of Columbia University (who later wrote Proclaiming a Classic: the Canonization of Orlando Furioso) reviewed the first volume for Italica, vol. 53, no. 4 (Winter, 1976), and noted that: “Barbara Reynolds’ fine translation of the first half of Orlando furioso is the worthiest tribute Ariosto has received from the English-speaking world on his five hundredth birthday. Not only has she composed it in verse, she also observes the original rhyme scheme (abababcc) of the poems several thousand ottave. One can only admire Professor Reynolds for her brave and often felicitous attempts to overcome the difficulties such a decision entailed. As she herself points out at the end of her ample introduction, it is not

simply the paucity of pure rhymes in English which makes the task so hard. A greater difficulty is that in English rhymes are preponderantly masculine and therefore more obtrusive than in Italian, a language of feminine endings. ... All in all this translation is an admirable tour de force. By providing a rhymed version so faithful to the shape of the original, Barbara Reynolds makes it easier now for readers without Italian to appreciate why the Furioso is one of the major poetic achievements of the Renaissance. Undoubtedly her labor will help a great deal to restore Ariosto’s reputation in the English-speaking world.” Issued in paper; reprinted frequently *,M ichigan,NYP

Prue Shaw reviewed the book for the Times Literary Supplement, and wrote: “Boccaccio’s Corbaccio is a curious work. Written in all probability immediately after the Decameron, it was certainly his last work of fiction, and it seems to belie everything that was most original and moving in his masterpiece. Instead of a profound sympathy for women and

Bibliography 1975 a humane championing of female sexuality, we have a virulent anti-feminist diatribe, strident, humourless, and at times nearhysterical. The Decameron had drawn freely on the antifeminist tradition: the lustful nun and the deceitful wife are recurring figures in the tales. But there Boccaccio exploited their comic possibilities, and the themes were handled with a lightness of touch which suggested that the author was delighted by the artistic potential of the misogynist tradition without subscribing to it emotionally. The Corbaccio is not only extremely violent in its denunciation of women’s lust and greed, it also seems to be in deadly earnest.” Cassell rejects the traditional explanation that the work is autobiographical, and that Boccaccio’s rage was prompted by a widow who rejected his advances. He is able to show that the ant-feminist material is largely derived from classical and medieval sources recorded in one of Boccaccio’s commonplace books. Shaw, however, comments that: “An autobiographical genesis and a dependence on literary convention are not opposed absolutes. If the Corbaccio had been a mere literary exercise, it would not have had the disturbing characteristics that it does have.” KSM ,M ichigan,UTL

He was one of the first Italian authors to write in the vernacular as well as in Latin. Purkart notes: “The Rota Veneris is a summa dictaminis de arte amandi: that is to say, a curious mixture of rhetorical theory, the precepts of dictamen, and the literary manifestations of eroticism in the M iddle Ages. It contains discussions of the proper and advantageous use of metaphors and proverbs, examples of the rhetoric of persuasion and dissuasion, as well as advice about the usefulness and effectiveness of employing rhetorical skill to describe feminine beauty. ... It would in fact seem obvious that the Rota Veneris was not intended as just another formulary or epistolary whose letters were meant to serve as models, but rather that Boncompagno intended it as amusing and entertaining literature.” PIMS,OCLC,UTL

The fifth, sixth and seventh volumes of this continuing project include facsimiles of the Latin letters from the Venice edition of 1495. The third volume includes a translation of “The life of M arsilio Ficino” written in 1506 by Giovanni Corsi. Each volume contains notes on Ficino’s correspondents, and other contemporaries mentioned. The bibliography is updated in each volume. In a brief review of the second volume for the Times Literary Supplement, C. B. Schmitt comments: “Enthusiasm is often what makes it possible to carry out a burdensome task. Yet I find the tone of the introduction more than a trifle fulsome in its praise of Ficino and at times nearly hagiographical.” Schmitt continues: “while I consider Ficino to be historically important and the intricate workings of his mind extremely fascinating, I cannot believe his work is so relevant to us today. The style is far too florid, the content too eclectic, the reasoning too flabby, and the context too elitist, but undoubtedly others hold different views. ... Why translate all of the letters? M any are short and rather inconsequential, while others are repetitious.” This translation was distributed in the United States by Spring Publications in Dallas. CRRS,USL,UTL

7527 FICINO, Marsilio [Commentaria in Platonem (1496). English and Latin] The Philebus commentary. Marsilio Ficino; a critical edition and translation by Michael J. B. Allen. Berkeley; Los Angeles; London: University of California Press, 1975. (Publications of the Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, UCLA; 9) [17], 2-560 pp: facsims. Allen argues for “the latter half of 1469 as the period in which Ficino wrote the Philebus commentary,” and concludes that the commentary, “far from being a youthful piece, is an integral part of Ficino’s most productive years. Necessarily, this is to question the validity of much of the interpretation of the commentary which has so far been put forward by other scholars.” Allen notes that the 1496 edition was seen through

the press by Ficino himself, and is therefore authoritative. D. P. Walker reviewed Allen’s edition and translation for the Times Literary Supplement, and judged it: “an excellent piece of work. It will be especially welcome to scholars of Renaissance Platonism because the edition of Ficino’s works that everyone is obliged to use — the only Opera Omnia (Bâle, 1576) — is riddled with misprints, and we have modern editions and translations of only two of his works: the commentary on the Symposium and the Theologia Platonica. ... The translation, in so far as I have checked it, is accurate, as one would expect, since the great Ficino scholar, Kristeller, went through the whole text, as Allen gratefully acknowledges.” CRRS,USL,UTL

The Latin text of the Regula non bullata (that is, the Rule of St. Francis as it existed before its approval by Pope Honorius III on November 29, 1223) is based on the study of fifteen manuscripts from the middle of the 14th century and later. A parallel English translation by Schwartz and Lachance is provided. They write: “The English translation of the text here is intended to reflect the original Latin as closely as possible, and thus duplicates many of the problems of that text. Among the latter are the oftnoted and excessive use of et (‘and’), the constant use of the imperative and subjunctive, and the general simplicity of the vocabulary.” KSM ,LC,UTL

Bibliography 1975 and of which this Peters edition is a facsimile reprint, is made up entirely of engraved plates, by Johann Georg Puschner, each consisting of an illustration and German description of each dance, with its appropriate music. The Italian text is printed in a separate section at the beginning of the work. In his author’s foreword, addressed to lovers of dancing, Lambranzi writes: “As these illustrations of my theatrical dances, for which I myself served as the model, have succeeded better than I anticipated, I feel it my duty to publish them as so many persons have requested, for these and similar dances greatly stimulate and delight the lover of dancing, consequently earning themselves the name of ‘The Poeple’s Delight.’” M any of the characters in the dances derive from the commedia dell’arte— Harlequin, Scaramouche, Scapino, Pantalone, Zotto, and so on. The facsimile is followed by a German afterword and indexes, and the English text translation. A previous English translation, from the German text, and including reproductions of the original plates, was published in London in 1928, and reprinted in New York (see entry 7237). OCLC,UTL

(Cambridge studies in the history and theory of politics) [4], v-ix, [1], 1-173, [1] pp.: facsim. Donaldson writes: “The text edited and translated here is the last work of Stephen Gardiner [1483?-1555], Bishop of Winchester, a leading statesman in the reign of Henry VIII and Lord Chancellor under Philip and M ary. It is entitled, in the Italian version of George Rainsford which is the only form in which it has survived, Ragionamento dell’advenimento delli inglesi et normanni in Britannia. ... The work does treat the Norman and Anglo-Saxon conquests, as the title says, but the purpose was not solely historical. The dynastic changes in England’s past are presented as parallels to the coming of Philip, and the historical examples are explored for the sake of practical political counsel: how can a foreign prince rule England effectively and pass it on to his heirs? In turning history into political advice, Gardiner drew upon the greatest political writer of the time: though the debt is never acknowledged, Gardiner borrows some 3,000 words directly from The Prince and The Discourses. Gardiner’s relation to M achiavelli was, like his relation to the Habsburgs, more intimate than scholars thus far have been able to demonstrate, and the Elizabethan polemicists who pictured him as a M achiavellian schemer determined to betray poor England to the Spaniard were, despite their simplifications, not altogether mistaken.” KSM ,LC,UTL

This study includes a translation of M ontecuccoli’s Concerning Battle (Sulle battaglie). M ontecuccoli (1609-1680) was an Italian general, from a family of Burgundian origin, who gave distinguished military service to the Austrians from the age of sixteen almost to the end of his life. Sulle battaglie was his earliest military treatise, existing as a manuscript in the Este Library of M odena. His better-known work on military history, Memorie della guerra, was first published in Venice in 1703, and was later published in French, German, and Latin. It has not been published in English. Concerning the history and the advice contained in Sulle battaglie, Barker comments: “First, it is an excellent mirror of the character of combat in the second decade of the Thirty Years War. ... Second, it affords a fascinating glimpse into the complex and up-to-date mind of its genitor and so contributes its small share to the unravelling of European intellectual history. Last, and perhaps most significant, critical analysis of the text may provide clues to understanding the basic nature of mankind’s addiction to violence, individually and collectively.” OCLC,UTL

On the basis of his extremely detailed knowledge of the Senecan corpus, Mussato was ideally suited for the composition of the first tragedy of the Trecento, the Ecerinis. The form was provided by Seneca, but the matter by the recent history and historiography of Padua.” Loschi (d. 1441), was a native of Vicenza, and M ilanese aggression and the dependence of Vicenza provide the context for Loschi’s tragedy, though his formal subject is the death of Achilles, as plotted by Hecuba and carried out by Paris.

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

In his preface, M ortimer writes: “This book as its title suggests, is something less than an anthology of English Petrarchism and something more than a collection of translations. M y aim has been to document the direct influence of Petrarch by sorting out from the mass of generically Petrarchan verse those poems that can be traced to a specific source in the Canzoniere. Petrarch could be put to a wide variety of uses, but not every aspect of the Canzoniere proved interesting to English poets of the Renaissance. If we want to go beyond vague generalizations about English Petrarchism, we surely need to see precisely which poems of the Canzoniere were read and imitated.” The source poems have been numbered according to the order in all modern editions of the Canzoniere. The poems and their translators are: A. W., cxxxii; Arundel Harington MS, ccclx; Geoffrey Chaucer, cxxxii; Henry Constable (1562-1613), lxi, ccxxiv; Samuel Daniel (1562-1619), lix, cxxxiv, ccxii, ccxxiv; Francis Davison (1575-1619), cii; Walter Davison (1581-1608?), clxxxix; Michael Drayton (1563-1631), cxlviii; William Drummond (1585-1649), cxlv, cxlviii, cli, clxiv, ccxxxvii, cclxxiv, ccxcii, cccx; William Fowler (1560?-1614), clxiv, cclxxix; Geoge Gascoigne (1542-1577), lxi, cxxiv; John Harington (1534-1582), cxxxvi, cxxxviii; [Park]-Hill MS, i, vii, xix, lxi, cii, ciii, cxiv, cxxxii, ccxxiv, cclxix, ccclxv; John M ilton, cxxxviii, cccii; Thomas M orley (1557-1603), cccxi; Phoenix Nest, xxi, lxi, cxlv, clxxiii, cclxxiv; Sir Walter Raleigh, ccxcii; Sir Philip Sidney, ccxlviii; Spenser Edmund, cxxi, cxc, cccxxiii; Thomas Stanley (1625-1678), cccxxiv; Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, xi, cxl, cxlv, clxiv, cccx; Tottel’s Miscellany, i, iii; Thomas Watson (1557-1592), xx, cxxxii, cxxxiv, ccxlviii, cccx; Sir Thomas Wyatt, xix, xxi, xxxvii, xlix, lvii, lxxxii, lxxxiv, xcviii, cii, ciii, cxxi, cxxiv, cxxxiv, cxxxv, cxl, cliii, clxix, clxxiii, clxxxix, cxc, cxcix, ccvi, ccxxiv, ccxxxiv, cclviii, cclxix, ccclx; Nicolas Young (fl. 1588-1597), lii, clix, cccx, cccxxiv.

Bartolomeo Sacchi, called Platina (1421-1481) served two popes, Pius II (reigned 1458-1464), and Sixtus IV (reigned 1471-84), and was a sworn enemy of the intervening pope, Paul II (reigned 1464-1471). Under Paul he was imprisoned in 1464, and again in 1468 on suspicion of heresy and of conspiring against the life of the pope. He was acquitted on the first charge, and the second was dropped for lack of evidence. He had his revenge with his portrayal of Paul as cruel and an archenemy of science in his Vitae pontificum (1479), written around 1474 at the suggestion of Sixtus, who appointed Platina librarian. Sixtus also instructed him to make a collection of the chief privileges of the Roman Church, a valuable collection still preserved in the Vatican archives. The Catholic Encyclopedia mentions that: “The new Pinacotheca Vaticana contains the magnificent fresco by M elozzo da Forli. It represents Sixtus IV surrounded by his Court and appointing Platina prefect of the Vatican.” The encyclopedia does not, however, mention Platina’s cookbook. Of his poetic version, M etz writes: “Since my Latin is nearly dead, I leaned on Cassel’s Latin-English for the hard core and made the poems out of the synonyms, noises, and scenes which go into any good poem. In a number of places I let scenes develop on their own interior motion; thus I have made some small though late additions to medieval bestiary and herbal lore in ‘Cranes,’ ‘Storks,’ ‘Basil’ and several other poems.” For a full critical edition and translation of De honesta voluptate, see entry 9865.

[7], 8-101, [3] pp. This study and translation is taken from Spalatin’s thesis Matteo Ricci and a Confucian Christianity for the Faculty of Theology at the Pontifical Gregorian University. At head of title: Pontificia Universitas Gregoriana, Facultas Theologiae. Spalatin writes that he has: “translated the Chinese text of Ricci’s Book of 25 Paragraphs into English, and also provided the parallel texts of Epictetus’ Encheiridion. ... Unless otherwise stated, any direct quotations from Ricci are in [my] own English translation. The majority of these translations ... are taken from Ricci’s personal account of the Chinese mission ... and from his private correspondence ... . With the aid of these works we have attempted to understand Ricci’s mind as he grasped and formulated his understanding of Confucianism and attempted to establish the foundations of Confucian Christianity. Through the different media of two great and independent cultures, Ricci sought to understand and express the transcultural reality of Christianity. The Book of 25 Paragraphs represents an outstanding example and an historic landmark in bicultural communication.” OCLC,UTL

university training provided at the two great centers of medieval and Renaissance university life, Bologna and Padua, where gradually more facilities for scientific investigation could be found, where both papal and Venetian liberalism had long ago removed restrictions upon dissection, and where the great medical minds of the time both in Italy and beyond the Alps gathered to establish a tradition of free inquiry and research.” CRRS,LC,UTL

Scott (1916: 327-8) relates the occasion of this essay thus: “Torquato Tasso, in one of his sudden fits of melancholy and suspicion determined to flee from the court of Urbino, and put himself under the protection of the Duke of Savoy. On the road to Vercelli, arriving one evening at the banks of the Sesia, he found the river so swollen that the ferryman refused absolutely to venture over. A storm came on, and Tasso, weary and footsore, would have been in a sad plight had he not met with a young man who kindly offered him the hospitality of his home for the night. It proved to be a neighboring mansion, where the young man introduced the guest to his father, a venerable man

whose appearance was as pleasing as his entertainment was generous and elegant. Tasso had at first declined revealing his name, but over the wine and fruits, his reserve wore away, and when the conversation turned at last upon the economy of agriculture, he displayed so much learning, and spoke so eloquently of the creation of the world, and of the sun’s motions, that his host divined who he was. The disclosure of identity is most delicately expressed by the old man, ‘he now knew he was entertaining a more illustrious guest than he had at first supposed, his guest was perhaps the person of whom some rumor had spread in those parts, who, having fallen into misfortunes by some human error, was as much deserving of pardon, from the nature of his offence, as he was in other respects worthy of admiration and renown.’ The simplicity and beauty and repose of the domestic picture in which Tasso has framed the romantic incident are unsurpassed. And the effect is all the more heightened by the setting as an interval of peace between struggles. The poet was taken at nightfall out of the storm, and the next morning, he tells us, he went on to Turin, moneyless, and compelled to wade through mire and water.” The story would gain more resonance, perhaps, had it been witnessed and related by someone other than Tasso himself.

Weaver’s versions of Rigoletto, Il trovatore, La traviata, Aida, and Otello were first published in Verdi Librettos by Doubleday (see entry 6387). In the introductory note to the current work, he writes: “The translations have no literary pretensions, and, wherever necessary, English style has been sacrificed to faithfulness, even to literalness. The translator’s hardest task was fighting the constant temptation to prettify the English. ... Verdi’s dictum about ‘the immediate word’ has been the translator’s motto.” In a bibliographical note, Weaver adds: “The Italian texts were all taken from the printed piano scores rather than from the printed librettos, which are often inaccurate. The stage directions, in the interest of greater completeness, have generally been based on the first edition of the librettos, with occasional additions also from the score.” LC,M USI,OCLC

But the Scacchia was translated more often than both of these together.” He notes that the poem: “is a sprightly mock-epic celebrating the invention of the game at the court of Memnon in Ethiopia during the marriage of Oceanus and Terra.

Athens, Ohio: Ohio University Press, c1976. [9], x-xlv, [4], 4-187, [7] pp. Italian text in terza rima with parallel English prose translation. In the years between 1517 and 1524 Ariosto wrote seven satires in terza rima which, though they were undoubtedly known to his friends as well as to the addressees, he withheld from publication during his lifetime. In essence they are confidential letters in verse, and deal with events in the poet’s life, and his reactions to the problems facing him. In them Ariosto writes to his younger brother Galasso about a journey to Rome, explains why he would not accompany Cardinal Ippolito d’Este to Hungary, expatiates to a cousin on the choice of a wife, compares the vanity of honours and riches with the peace of a contented mind, inveighs against his uncongenial duties as the governor of bandit-infested Garfagnana (a mountain district in Tuscany), and explains why he declined an offer to be made ambassador to Pope Clement VII. In the last letter/poem Ariosto asks Pietro Bembo for help with the education of his son Virginio. The teacher he wants for his son, he writes to Bembo, must be good as well as learned: Learning and goodness let him have, but chief Let goodness be, for if there be not this the other counts not much, ‘tis my belief.

Fraser writes: “Gascoigne’s Supposes is not only the first example in English of Italianate comedy and the first surviving English play to be written wholly in prose, it is also in its own right a well-turned play, and important subsequently for the fortunes of Shakespeare. The anonymous Taming of the Shrew, which lies behind Shakespeare’s play, takes its subplot — familiar to students of Shakespeare as the story of Bianca’s disguised suitor and his pretended father — from Supposes ... . Essentially, Supposes is a translation of Ariosto’s prose comedy (afterward versified) Gli Suppositi (1509), itself a remodeling of classical Roman comedy as written by Plautus and Terence. Gascoigne in his version makes use of both the prose and verse editions of Ariosto.” Gascoigne’s version can also be found at 1934, and after. KVU,LC,UTL

The heading for each building described is in Italian with an English translation; the text is in English, printed in two columns to each landscape format page. Burns writes: “Bertotti Scamozzi’s The Buildings and the Designs of Andrea Palladio is not only a fundamental contribution to the knowledge and understanding of Palladio’s work, but one of the great monuments of architectural history. The present translation, the first into English, in fact realises with a delay of two hundred years Bertotti’s original intention to publish an English version of his work. ... Ottavio Bertotti Scamozzi was born in Vicenza in 1719, the son of a barber. His rise from these very modest origins to a place in Vicentine and Venetian cultivated society was in the first place the result of the help and interest of M archese Mario Capra, through whom in 1756 he obtained the inheritance of the great Vicentine architect Vincenzo Scamozzi who had died in 1616. Scamozzi had left the usufruct of his estate to be enjoyed by a young Vicentine architect, to be chosen by his executors, who as a condition of receiving the benefit for life had to adopt the name Scamozzi.” M AS,OCLC

The greater part of those who have written on this subject seem to have been persons of taste, talent, and learning; but they, evidently, were not dancers: so that, however attractive their productions may be to the general reader, the lounger, or the literary man, they are of little practical utility to the M ime, the Dancer, or the Ballet-master.” Blasis undertakes to provide: “a practical work adapted to the present day, and calculated at once to assist the professor, to enlighten and amuse the amateur, and to instruct the student ... .” For notes on Blasis, see entries 3604 and 4401.

7621 CIRINO, of Ancona [Historia di Lionbruno (1476). English and Italian] ‘Historia di Lionbruno’: printed in Venice by Vindelinus de Spira in 1476.

[6], 5-40, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims. Corrigan notes: “The Historia di Lionbruno was composed late in the fourteenth century by an anonymous author, since identified as an otherwise obscure Cirino of Ancona. It became one of the most popular of the cantari , stories in rhymed octaves recited from one end of Italy to the other by cantastorie, not storytellers but storysingers, to a simple tune accompanied by a lute. The tales were written for adult audiences and had such wide appeal to all classes that they were among the first secular works in the vernacular to be printed when the art reached Italy about 1465. The edition of Lionbruno in the Osborne Collection is the earliest known and is the only printed version in the Venetian dialect; all others are in Tuscan. The story went through innumerable editions and was still being printed for popular consumption as late as 1914. One of its claims to distinction is that it is the first appearance in print of the Cloak of Darkness [lately resurfaced in the Harry Potter series] and of what are generally known as the Seven-League Boots, a name bestowed on them in a later fairy tale. But the author drew on a wide range of literary traditions and passes from one to the other with assured skill.” Italo Calvino presents an eighteenth-century version from the oral tradition in His Fiabe italiane (1956; first complete translation, 1980). *,OCLC,Osborne

7623 CONDIVI, Ascanio [Vita di Michelangelo Buonarroti (1553)] The life of Michelangelo. By Ascanio Condivi; translated by Alice Sedgwick Wohl; edited by Hellmut Wohl. Baton Rouge: Louisiana State University Press, c1976. [12], xiii-xxii, [2], 1-156, [4] pp.: ill.; geneal. table, plans, ports. M ichael Hirst reviewed this new translation of Condivi’s biography for the Times Literary Supplement. He wrote: “It is a commonplace that Condivi’s book, published in 1553, was prompted by the artist’s disquiet about the account of his career put out by Vasari in 1550. But it would be an error to suppose that it is just an attempt to correct mistakes in the earlier life. It is difficult to avoid concluding that the real purpose of the book was to vindicate the artist’s record over the affair of the tomb of Julius II and the shadow of what Condivi so unforgettably calls ‘la tragedia della sepoltura’ lies over the last two thirds of his text. Defensive references to delays and failures to implement promises made appear again and again. But more than this was involved; M ichelangelo’s honour and financial probity were in question. ... It is this apologetic character of Condivi’s life which requires vigilant attention on the reader’s part. For while the narrative contains a wealth of information missing from Vasari’s Vita of 1550 and inserted by him wholesale and without acknowledgement in that of 1568, the fact that Condivi’s book is a kind of biographical rearguard action has led to distortions and suppressions which are the artist’s own.” Hirst finds fault with both the translation and the commentary, and points out that the addition of more than fifty plates has put the price of the book beyond the reach of many of the students for whom it was intended. In his opinion: “Much more useful than yet more reproductions of the ‘David,’ the ‘Last Judgment or St. Peter’s would have been the inclusion of Condivi’s own Italian text facing the English text.” KVU,LC,USL

M any letters from the Archivio M edicei ante Principato had not been translated, or even published before. In her original preface, Ross writes: “M any a book has been written about the M edici; yet how little has been said about the private lives of the founders of that wonderful family which rose from prosperous middle-class condition to take its place among the sovereign houses of Europe, to seat its daughters on the throne of the Queen-consorts of France, and its sons on the Chair of St. Peter? ... The men and women have disappeared, and we see instead the dexterous manipulators of tortuous Italian diplomacy, or the splendid patrons of art and literature during the best period of the Renaissance. Yet, in our day, we sometimes like to turn aside from the stage life to learn about the vie intime of personages who have become historical. We are curious about their doing within the home circle, about their private loves and hates, whether they were good or bad husbands and wives, parents and children. The simpler human interests attract us. This book attempts to supply such details. ... In these old-world epistles Contessina artlessly displays her household economies, Lucrezia reveals her fondness for bathing, Clarice quarrels with no less a tutor than the celebrated Poliziano about the lessons that he gave to her children, and the child Piero tells his father how he has studied hard, even writing in Latin, ‘in order to give a more literary tone to my letters,’ and proudly and persistently demands the pony promised as a reward for diligence.” OCLC,UTL

St. Paul of the Cross.

Italian text and parallel English prose translation of the 366 poems of the Rime sparse, together with 14 other Petrarch poems, excluded from the Rime sparse, 6 poems addressed to Petrarch, and Dante’s Rime petrose and “Canzone montatina.” In her review for Italica vol. 58, no. 2 (Summer, 1981), Sandra Bermann of Princeton University writes: “Translating Petrarch into English is a matter of identifying oneself with a long and venerable tradition — one reaching as far back as Chaucer’s rendition of ‘S’Amor non è.’ Over the six centuries that have elapsed, successive translations have yielded fresh insights into the Canzoniere poems. Still, Robert Durling provides something new. His Petrarch’s Lyric Poems is far more ambitious in scope than any previous translation. ... With the Italian text on facing pages and an index of first lines, the format of the translation is useful and complete. But Durling’s work is not merely comprehensive. It also surpasses earlier translations in sheer readability. ... Although the introduction justifies a reading in its own right, it serves well as a prologue to the translation that follows. Durling’s interpretation should go far in keeping Petrarch alive for today’s audience. It is accurate, scholarly, and as idiomatic as the constraints of Petrarch’s diction and theme allow. ... Actually, it is surprising how frequently Durling

Bibliography 1976 succeeds in capturing Petrarch’s formal effects as well as his ‘literal’ meaning. By relieving himself of meter and rhyme, the interpreter can bring life to other, equally ‘formal’ features of Petrarch’s poems, particularly the syntactic patterns that frame each emerging idea. Compared to versification, syntactic patterns translate more readily. They often contribute to Durling’s effective renditions of Petrarchan shapes. Especially in the compact and often highly figured sonnet form, Durling proves that his prose can outdistance the ordinary verse translation. ... Durling’s prose disserves only a few canzoni, particularly those whose length or thematic structure attenuates their unity. ... On the whole, Petrarch’s Lyric Poems attests to the original effect a translator can achieve, if he can transform poetry into sensitive prose.” Reprinted, and also issued in paper, in 1979; the paperback was in its 9th printing, with a redesigned cover, by 1997.

Baltimore: The Johns Hopkins University Press; London: Scolar Press, 1976. [10], 11-604 pp.: ill.; facsims., port. The military engineer Agostino Ramelli (1531-ca. 1600), from Ponte Tresa, on Lake Lugano at the Swiss border with Italy, began his career in the service of Gian Giacomo de’ M edici. He then moved to France, where he worked in the service of Henry of Anjou (1551-1589), later king of France as Henry III. He took part in the unsuccessful siege of the Huguenot stronghold of New Rochelle in 1572, where he was seriously wounded, captured, and later released through the intervention of Gian Giacomo. He decided to collect together his studies and projects, which were published in Paris in 1588, in a large folio volume with 194 plates. Though many of his ‘inventions’ were imaginary, the work is a classic of Renaissance engineering, and exerted a considerable influence on the development of mechanics in Europe in the succeeding decades. Among his pumps, cranes, and military machines there was his ‘book wheel’ — a multiple rotating book-rest (plate 188). According to Filippo Pigafetta he was active at the siege of Paris in 1590.

Olszewski writes: “Armenini was hardly a profound thinker and the treatise contains no well-reasoned apologetic developed in a systematic way. Confusion results when an idea is introduced in one section of the text and expanded upon only several chapters later. Yet it was not our author’s primary intention to develop a theory of art, and the ambiguity of his text can be taken as an indication of Armenini’s own difficulties in attempting to assemble a schema of ‘true precepts’ from a pluralistic artistic ambience viewed over a wide span of space and time. These difficulties must not be allowed to minimize the importance of Armenini for Renaissance scholarship. His very dependence upon earlier writers becomes a significant control by which to gauge those issues on which he departs from them.” Also issued in paper. LC,USL,UTL

Edwin M organ, who reviewed Abba Abba for the Times Literary Supplement (June 3, 1977), wrote: “The translations are attributed, in a historical introduction, to Joseph Joachim Wilson, born in M anchester in 1916 and fatally mugged in New York in 1959. An ingenious chain of births and deaths tracks the Wilson family back to nineteenth-century Italy and to a friend of Belli himself. Readers must not, however,

allow all this scholarly apparatus to distract them from remembering that Anthony Burgess’s real name is John Wilson.” The translations themselves, Morgan notes, are in: “English tinged here and there with Manchester dialect.

7719 BRUNO, Giordano [La cena de le ceneri (1584)] The Ash Wednesday supper. La cena de le ceneri. By Giordano Bruno; edited and translated by Edward A. Gosselin and Lawrence S. Lerner. Hamden, Connecticut: Archon Books, 1977 [6], 7-237, [3] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims. This translation was reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement by Frances Yates, distinguished scholar of Renaissance intellectual history, and author of the study Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition (1964). She writes: “It is because I know from experience the difficulties of their task that I am able to appreciate the magnitude of the achievement of [Gosselin and Lerner]. They have produced a translation which brings this obscure work to the English reader without tampering with its peculiarities and with full understanding of its hieroglyphic character.” Bruno was a philosopher, and a Dominican. He was accused of heresy, and left the order to become a wandering scholar and teacher. In England in the 1580s he debated at Oxford, and produced several philosophical dialogues, among them La cena de le ceneri, which defended the Copernican system and Bruno’s notion of the infinite universe. He returned to Venice, where in 1592 he was betrayed to the Inquisition. After seven years of imprisonment in Rome he was condemned as a heretic, and executed at the stake in 1600. Yates concludes her review with the comment: “What then becomes of the Bruno legend, of Bruno as the martyr for modern science, precursor of Galileo? Gosselin and Lerner suggest in a footnote, and they have expanded this idea in an article, that Bruno’s use of

Bibliography 1977 Copernicanism as a hieroglyph of a vast reforming movement might have caused the Inquisitors to suspect similar allusions behind Galileo’s system of the world. This may well be a fruitful question to ask, the answering of which might eventually lead to a new interpretation of the possible connection between the death of Bruno and the trial of Galileo.” CRRS,KVU,LC

This fact, which has been suggested by several scholars, emerges very clearly from the consideration of a letter written by Giovanni Dondi dall’ Orologio (d. 1389) — a gifted and versatile friend of Petrarch — who taught medicine at Padua and Pavia. ... Although Dondi was ... not only a competent but even an outstanding scientist for his day, he was by no means an admirer of contemporary scientific achievement.

Pedretti’s commentary appears for the first time in this 1977 edition. In his preface he writes: “This work is conceived as a mirror image of Jean Paul Richter’s classic edition of the literary remains of Leonardo da Vinci ... . It is easy to see how, soon after Leonardo’s death, his personality was to become enigmatic and the subject of much rhetoric and misconception. On the other hand, the systematic study of his manuscripts, initiated with the appearance of Richter’s anthology, has gradually contributed to restoring the correct image of Leonardo the painter, no longer divino but certainly universale. The primary purpose of my work is to date the Leonardo texts gathered by Richter and to consider each of them in its context, thus incorporating much additional material. I hope that my commentary will make the two Richter volumes more meaningful as a synthesis of Leonardo’s work and more useful as a tool.” Pedretti also points out the significance to his own work of Edward M acCurdy’s The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci (1938), and A. Philip M cM ahon’s edition of the Treatise on Painting (1956). See also the U.S. edition, below. OCLC

7753 PETRARCA, Francesco [Africa (1338-42)]

Petrarch’s Africa. Translated and annotated by Thomas G. Bergin and Alice S. Wilson. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 1977. [8], ix-xix, [3], 1-289, [1] pp.: map. A verse translation in iambic pentameter, from Latin. The first printed edition of Africa was published in Venice in 1501 as part of the Opera omnia. The first modern critical edition, edited by Nicola Festa, was published in 1926. Cesare Foligno reviewed that edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented: “When Petrarch died some of his most trusted friends competed with one another for the honour of editing the ‘Africa,’ which the poet himself had hesitated and refused to publish for some thirty years. In the end, the honour fell to P. P. Vergerio the elder, who accomplished his work with singular fairness and acumen, as it now appears.” But, as Foligno points out: “Early printers may be said to have chosen the worst text and perversely to have printed it.” Petrarch’s unfinished epic glorified Scipio Africanus and, despite his own dissatisfaction with it, was at least in part responsible for Petrarch’s coveted laurel crown, awarded in 1341. In their Introduction, the editors write: “The genesis of the Africa is recorded for us by its author. In his Letter to Posterity, after a lyric description of the environs of Vaucluse, where he made his home after returning from his grand tour of 1333, Petrarch goes on to say: ‘While I was wandering in those mountains upon a Friday in Holy Week, the strong desire seized me to write an epic in an heroic strain, taking as my theme Scipio Africanus the Great, who had, strange to say, been dear to me from childhood. But although I began the execution of the project with enthusiasm, I straightway abandoned it, owing to a variety of distractions.’ ... That he abandoned work on it ‘straightway’ (‘mox’) seems not quite accurate; he was fairly far along with it at the time of his coronation in April 1341 ... . If we assume that at least in preliminary draft the poem was completed by the end of 1343 but was not yet polished to such a lustre as to satisfy its author, we must also assume that the polishing want on during the remaining thirty years of the poet’s life. Given his habits of work, this is not particularly surprising ... .” Bergin and Wilson also comment: “it seems to us that the Africa should rightfully be seen as the earliest Renaissance epic rather than as a medieval artifact. Petrarch’s return to Roman history for substance and inspiration, his Herculean efforts to revive the Latin language and style of the classical period, and his perception of the spirit of Romanitas, clouded only infrequently by pious syncretism, distinguish him sharply from medieval poets.” M ichigan,NYP,UTL

To put it simply, no distinguished poet has seriously tried his hand at Petrarch since the time of Wyatt.” M ortimer discusses the translator’s problem with rhyme, and states: “M y own approach is to attempt to convey the original rhyme-scheme without making rhyme my primary concern.” He continues with a discussion of rhythm and diction, and sums up: “In general terms, my approach to the Canzoniere has been characterized by a desire to avoid the sentimental, the melodramatic, and the factitiously striking. I have not used the surprising adjective where Petrarch prefers the conventional, or the specific noun where he chooses the generic. I have avoided making his images more concrete than they are or his metaphors more metaphysical. ... The Petrarchan manner represents a welldefined episode in the history of European lterary fashion. It may be reinterpreted, but it cannot really be modernized. If it holds any interest for us, it must be accepted on its own terms.” In her review for Italica, which also treats Durling’s Petrarch’s Lyric Poems (see 1976), Sandra Bermann notes: “[M ortimer’s] accurate but natural rendition of Italian verse is the clearest tribute to his flexibility. For while he keeps original rhyme schemes intact, he does not let this obscure Petrarch’s syntax and imagery. Often only the faintest echo of consonant or vowel recalls the full rhyme of the original. But always the echo is enough to preserve a sense of the form. ... Equally effective is M ortimer’s command of poetic diction. By using simple English equivalents for Petrarch’s decorous lexicon and repeating these words as often as Petrarch did his own, he recreates the Canzoniere’s distinctive verbal atmosphere.” (vol. 58, no. 2 (Summer, 1981)) M ortimer is also the author of the critical compilation of translations Petrarch’s Canzoniere in the English Renaissance (see entry 7551). *,NYP,UTL

The M antuan Jesuit Antonio Possevino (1640-1709) was entrusted by the popes with several sensitive diplomatic missions. He failed in his negotiations to win Sweden (whose king, John III, was a Lutheran married to the Catholic Princess Catherine of Poland) for the Catholic faith, when John requested four dispensations, including a married clergy, vernacular M asses, and a gradual conversion of his people, which the Roman Curia refused to grant. Possevino was then sent by Pope Gregory XIII to the court of Ivan the Terrible. At one point, the enraged Ivan threatened to kill him, but Possevino was eventually able to negotiate peace, as a neutral arbitrator, in the war between Russia and Poland (1582). The papacy’s chief goal of establishing relations with Russia was of little interest to Ivan. As the first Jesuit to visit M oscow, Possevino left this valuable account of the Tsardom of Muscovy.

Thomas Bretnor tells the reader of the efficacy of laudanum in medicine, naming it “the chiefest physicke I use my selfe,” and recommends some reputable druggists. Angelus Salo lived from 1576 to 1637. He was born in Vicenza, the self-educated son of an Italian spinner, but spent much of his career as a physician in the service of members of the German nobility. He pursued extensive studies in medicine and chemistry, but is perhaps best known for his experiments with silver salts, an important step towards the invention of the photographic process. His work in chemistry was a major step towards a better understanding of chemical reactions, and the realization that some ‘substances’ are composed of chemical combinations of other substances.

New York, New York: Abaris Books, c1977. (Janus series; 1) [4], 7-417, [1] pp.: facsim. Valla’s early humanist dialogue De voluptate (1431) was later revised and re-titled De vero bono (1432). Lorch writes: “Although Valla’s inspiration is moral and religious, yet his central interest undeniably is human, earthly experience. This explains why Valla concentrates on the behavior of the individual as an ordinary man. In his opinion, this best illustrates the basic principles of human morality. He deals with Epicureanism, Cyrenaicism, Peripateticism, Skepticism, and Stoicism with great freedom within a basically Christian framework, and exploits them to the maximum together with Christian sources in order to understand and justify man’s earthly behavior as a creature with senses and instincts.” Concerning Valla (1407-1457), Lorch writes that he: “thought of himself as a universal man, learned in every branch of knowledge. He declared himself above all to be a grammarian, an orator, and a rhetorician. ... In addition, Valla also emphatically claimed as one of his accomplishments a thorough knowledge of theology. M aking due allowance for the polemical tone of all these assertions, one can nevertheless conclude that Valla applied himself within the classic Roman-Christian tradition to every field of study directly concerned with man as an individual and as a member of society. Taken together, these ‘infinite disciplines’ comprise what is known as the humanities, and even more.” But Valla was also:”a hypersensitive man, illtempered, touchy, irritable, ready and open to provocation: a scholar who mercilessly attacked whomever he thought to be wrong.” CRRS,ERI,LC

Delmar, N.Y.: Scholars’ Facsimiles & Reprints, 1978. [4], v-xvi, [17], 2-136 pp.: ill.; facsims., port. This translation of books 1-4 of Aconcio’s Satanae stratagemata was first published in London in 1647, but dated 1648, printed by J. M acock, and sold by J. Hancock. This facsimile edition is based on the edition of 1651 which was made up from sheets printed for the edition of 1647. Scott (1916: 291) comments: “The Satanae Stratagemata is a book which had a considerable influence in the development of opinion. In all, I record twenty-one editions of it, five of them in English imprint, and all of them publications of about one century, 1565-1674, the era of the Reformation. Aconcio’s argument was the simplification of dogmatic theology; in general, he would reduce the doctrines of Christianity to a strictly scriptural basis. He argued that the numerous confessions of faith of different denominations were simply the ruses of the Evil One, the ‘Stratagems of Satan,’ to tempt men from the truth. He protested against capital punishment for heresy, and favored toleration among all Christian sects. Such liberal theology was distasteful alike to Calvinists, who accused Aconcio of Arianism, and to Catholics, who indexed the book.” See also entry 4001. LC,UTL

In his introduction, Wicks writes: “The present collection presents, in translation or synopsis, the works in which Cajetan

argued against the claims and teachings of the early Reformation. We begin with the painstaking analyses of Luther’s published views on purgatory, penance, and indulgences written by Cajetan in preparation for the Augsburg meeting of 1518. We follow his work up to a belated appeal in 1534 begging King Henry VIII to correct the scandalous error of his divorce and remarriage. The genre, therefore, is controversial theology, where an author takes on the task of analyzing the position of a doctrinal adversary and marshalling arguments in refutation. Cajetan has been singled out as being no ordinary Reformation controversialist. He placed a high premium on clarity of conception and avoided all polemic against personalities. While many early Catholic defenders attempted tiresome line-by-line rebuttals of Luther’s tracts, Cajetan sought to isolate major dogmatic issues and cluster his theological arguments about a few central convictions. ... But Cajetan was hardly heard above the din of the raucous pamphlet war of the early Reformation.” CRRS,LC,UTL

architectural music of baroque stage settings often displays fantasies that their creators could not realize in genuine edifices. ... But how, we may ask, were these splendors executed on the stage? How are historians of art, architecture, and the theatre to interpret these designs as to the construction of decor for which they were intended? Some of the answers are to be found in the documents included here — the only such meticulously outlined procedures for flat-wing scene design by perspectivists in this period. ... The works of the designers included in this volume are almost exclusively devoted to the formation of architectural settings — a piazza, gallery, royal palace. ... It is Ferdinando Galli-Bibiena, however, who perfected the ultimate artistic form of the baroque stage set in his scenes viewed at an angle. ... Baldassare Orsini’s writings reflect what had become by the 1770s and 1780s rather standard theatrical practice. ... M ore specifically, from Orsini’s operations we can ascertain on precisely which wings and backscenes of [the Teatro del Verzaro, Perugia] portions of each of twelve or thirteen different scenes were distributed and where each component was located on the stage. ... The second singular aspect of Orsini’s work has to do with his detailed descriptions of scene painting: the selection and application of colors, the play of light and shadow, and specific information as to the pigments and shading of particular features in the scenes that he painted himself. ... When considered together, these documents by Italian experts in perspective present us with a rather full record of the practices of scenic creation for the flat-wing stage. The writings themselves are unique in the theatrical and artistic annals of the baroque period.” Troili lived from 1613 to 1685, Pozzo from 1642 to 1709, Galli-Bibiena from 1657 to 1743, and Orsini from 1732 to 1810.

English and Latin on facing pages; first published under the title De contemptu mundi. Lotario di Segni (1160 or 61-1216) was elected Pope Innocent III in 1198. A learned theologian and jurist, he held the theory that the supremacy of the spirit over the flesh meant that the Church ruler, the pope, should have superiority over lay rulers of states. He attempted to put this belief into political practice, with varying success. His De contemptu mundi was popular in the M iddle Ages. Lewis writes: “The treatise is organized into three parts, called books in the original: The first concerns the wretchedness of man’s conception, the disgusting physical aspects of humans, especially old ones, and the various miseries man must endure in his life; the second deals with the three goals for which man strives — riches, pleasures, and honors — with exempla and vivid descriptions used to illustrate the various forms of each; the third concerns the putrefaction of the body, the pains of hell, and the coming of God on the Day of Judgment.

the name Leo XIII, in 1878. He devoted himself to forming Catholic attitudes appropriate to the modern world and issued several encyclicals to that end. Immortale Dei (1885) charted the course for Catholics as responsible citizens in modern democratic states. Rerum novarum (1891), one of the most important of all encyclicals, outlined Catholic social ideals, pointing to the abuses of capitalism and the deficiencies of M arxism. To meet intellectual attacks on the Church he declared the philosophy of St. Thomas Aquinas official, and founded the Institute of Thomistic Philosophy at Louvain.

By Giuseppe Parini; translated into English blank verse, with introduction, notes and appendix by Herbert Morris Bower, M.A. (Cantab.); with a portrait of Parini. Westport, Connecticut: Hyperion Press, 1978. (The Hyperion library of world literature) [6], vii, [1], 1-208 pp.: port. A reprint of the edition published in 1927 by Routledge. Parini (1729-1799) was born into a modest merchant family in a small town in Lombardy, and spent most of his life in M ilan as a tutor and teacher. His early collection of ninety-two poems of Arcadian inspiration (Alcune poesie di Ripano Eupilino, 1752) won the young poet acceptance in the Accademia dei Trasformati and in other literary circles and associations. The first two parts of his long poem Il giorno, Il mattino (M orning), and Il mezzogiorno (Noon), were published in 1763 and 1765, while Il vespro (Vespers), and La notte (Night), appeared only after the poet’s death, in the M ilan edition of his Opere. Antonio Illiano writes that in the poem: “Parini sets himself up as precettor d’amabil rito (tutor and instructor in the worldly art of living) for a young peer of the M ilanese aristocracy and, in that capacity, purports to guide him through all the frivolous activities of his daily life. The obvious intention of this device is systematically to unmask and ridicule the useless and worthless existence of the pupil, from his late awakening ... to his nightly social games and very late return home Through his satirical portrayal and its serious historical implications, Il giorno expresses the indignant protest of moral conscience against a perverse system that allows extravagant privileges to the very few while neglecting the basic needs of the

people.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature, 1979: 375-6). The first edition of the translation was reviewed for the Times Literary Supplement by Lacy Collison-M orley, who wrote: “We can cordially praise M r. Bower’s translation. It reads straight through like an English poem; yet it keeps remarkably close to the original and is scholarly and accurate, so far as we have tested it. ... Without any disparagement to M r. Bower we may point out that the path of the translator is smoothed somewhat by the nature of the poetry. The lower the lyrical quality, the closer its approach to prose, the smaller will be the gap between the poet and his interpreter, and satire has often been called the most prosaic form of poetry.” Also issued in paper.

A reprint of four works published in Cambridge and Kent,

England, 1800-1821. Wrangham (1769-1842) translates forty sonnets from Petrarch. Reiman notes that: “Wrangham owes his place in the Romantic Context largely to his associations with Wordsworth and Coleridge, for his own poetry shows little of the poetic innovation that characterizes the work of those two geniuses.” Wrangham, a clergyman, rose to the post of Archdeacon of the East Riding of Yorkshire. He retired in 1840. In his Advertisement to the translations from Petrarch he wrote: “Some readers will perhaps pronounce it peurile the fidelity, with which I have attempted to follow my author, even to the very succession of his rhymes; a circumstance, I may be permitted to add, of much greater difficulty in our language, and with our fastidiousness, than it would have been in a converse translation form English into Italian ... . But fidelity, if it induces no violation of idiom (and, in that respect, I have not consciously offended) is, surely, at least irreprehensible.” Each text is separated from the next by a black card leaf.

Ernest de Selincourt reviewed that edition for the Times Literary Supplement, and commented: “Petrarch had a taste for life in the country some centuries before the world in general had seen any possibility of meaning in such a life. His reasonable habits seemed unreasonable and the defence of them was a labour of Hercules. All he wanted was to see his friends in intimacy, to be undisturbed among his books, and to be free to enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. To justify such mysterious desires it was necessary to consult Plato, Aristotle, and Thomas Aquinas, to discuss anew the relative virtues of activity and contemplation, and to consider, above all, what the Fathers of the Church had taught and its saints practised, whether as monks among the mountains or hermits in the wilderness. ... How, we ask ourselves, was it possible for a poet at any time to be so prosy, so heavy-handed?” De Selincourt considers De vita solitaria to be a work of historical rather than of literary interest.

Poliziano’s Orfeo. Translation and introduction by Elizabeth Bassett Welles, in La Fusta, v. 4, nos 1-2 (Spring-Fall 1979), pp. [99]-120. Welles writes: “The Favola di Orfeo (1480) could be considered important only because it is an exquisite example of Poliziano’s small corpus of Italian verse, but besides this, it is really crucial to the history of Renaissance theater and literature as the first secular drama in the vernacular. With this short theatrical divertissement began the long and fertile tradition of the pastoral drama which proliferated through European literatures in the succeeding centuries. Before this moment, in Italy and the rest of Europe, performances in the volgare were sacre rappresentazioni, poetic improvisations on Christian themes designed to please the ordinary citizen. Secular subject matter, treated in Latin comic style, was entertainment for the educated.

(The spiritual masters series) [3], iv-xv, [1], 1-240 pp. This translation was first published by the Newman Press, Westminster, M aryland (see entry 4506). In a new preface, Benedict J. Groeschel gives some background on the presumed author of the text, Lorenzo Scupoli , a priest of the Theatine Congregation (founded in 1524 to combat Protestantism and promote higher morality among Catholics). He writes: “Scupoli was not ordained to the priesthood until 1577 at the age of 48. While working in Genoa in 1585 he was falsely accused of some grave crime. This crime was apparently related to some article of faith, and since Scupoli lacked witnesses for his defense he was removed from the priesthood and took his place among the brothers of the Congregation. ... ‘In patient retirement, under some shocking calumny which ranked its author among the carnal and degraded, The Spiritual Combat was written. So was the author hidden from the world that it does not appear now to be known how the calumny was circulated, prevailed, or disappeared.’ After thirty years of solitude, marked by the most solicitous works of charity, Lorenzo Scupoli died at Naples in 1610 at the age of eighty.” The book was a favourite of St. Francis de Sales. Groeschel writes: “[he] made it his constant companion and spiritual guide for thirty years. This eminent spiritual master and psychologist used this book consistently and compared it to the works of St. Augustine and St. Bonaventure.” Issued in paper. LC,UTL

Nichols writes: “M y intention is to provide an overall view of the most accomplished poetry written in Latin in the Renaissance on a European scale. If Italians loom much larger than any other national group, it is because their Latin poetry had a European importance far exceeding that of the Latin poetry written elsewhere. ... The purpose of the English translation is to help a reader to understand the Latin text. This means that I have tried to be as literal as possible while at the same time producing English prose that is readable and fluent.” Also issued in paper. CRRS,LC

[10], 9-86 pp.: ill.; ports. A reprint of the edition published in 1914 by Harvard University Press. Bartolo (1313-1357) was one of the most prominent continental jurists of the M iddle Ages. He taught law at first at Bologna, then at Pisa from 1339-1343, and at Perugia from 1343 until his early death. Bartolus developed many novel legal concepts which became part of the civil law tradition. Among his most important contributions were those in the area of conflict of laws, a field of great importance in Italy at that time, where every city state had its own statutes and customs.

De Beatis was chaplain and amanuensis to Cardinal Luigi of Aragon (1474-1519) on his trip around Europe. Hale writes: “In the spring of 1517 Luigi of Aragon, a bastard but one of the most wealthy, cultivated and well connected of Italian cardinals, left Rome for a long northern tour. His itinerary was affected by his desire to make himself known to the great rulers of his age, the Emperor M aximilian, the young King of Spain, Charles V, Francis I, Henry VIII, to make contact with the exiled members of his family, the Neapolitan branch of the royal house of Aragon, and to visit the tombs of those who had died abroad. But it was also, largely in its route and almost wholly in its mood, a pleasure trip. ... For an unsophisticated man almost untouched by the impress of Humanism, the range of de Beatis’s interests was quite remarkably wide. His descriptions of landscapes, towns, of whole regions and the characters and customs of their inhabitants, of churches, palaces, relics and

works of art provide one of the clearest impressions we have of the quality of life in north-western Europe in the Renaissance.” This edition is based on the text published by the German church historian Ludwig Pastor in 1905, drawing on three manuscripts. OCLC,USL,UTL

This translation attempts to be faithful to the Latin text of the original without being slavishly literal. Bonaventure is a clear Latinist but is not easy to translate; his sentences are long and, at times, convoluted; he uses a language that was more precise in his day than in our own ... and he makes certain demands on the reader especially in the presumption of a common experience of works read.

Bonini (1582-1663) was a Benedictine who served his congregation throughout his long life as organist, maestro di cappella, composer, teacher, curate, confessor, scribe, and camerlingo.

The text of Bonini’s manuscript, now in the Biblioteca Riccardiana in Florence, was first published in full, edited by Leila Galleni Luisi, in Cremona in 1975. Bonino finds this and earlier partial editions unsatisfactory, and notes that in her critical edition: “The text of the treatise is presented exactly as Bonini left it, and on that assumption no attempt has been made to account for earlier misreadings in order to keep the footnotes, and hence the entire edition, compact and manageable.” LC,M USI

Bibliography 1979 J. Robinson in London. The translator is Charles Cullen (17101790). Clavigero (1731-1787) was born in M exico to Spanish parents. He entered the Jesuit order in 1748, and was sent to Italy, where he spent the rest of his life, in 1767 when the Jesuits were expelled from M exico. Feldman writes: “At Bologna, he devoted himself to writing his history, with the good fortune to be in the company of many other Jesuits learned in M exican antiquities and history, and with access to valuable documents. Written in Spanish, his history was first published in Italian translation in four volumes at Cesena in 1780-81, under the title Storia antica del Messico. ... Clavigero’s book gave the English reader of the later eighteenth century and the Romantic period the first full portrait of ancient M exican myth and civilization. ... His history concludes with the Spanish conquest from 1520. Here, his book gave its reader a rare, perhaps unprecedented view of the violent collision between Christian modern Europe and a still-living mythic culture. The incompatibility between European and mythic ways of life and beliefs is thrown into sharp relief, and so too is the precipitous decline of a contemporary and grand mythic world.” LC,OCLC,UTL

7924 Consolation of the blessed. By Elizabeth Petroff. New York: Alta Gaia Society, 1979. [9], ii-vi, [1], 2-208, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams. The introduction states that The Consolation of the Blessed is the story of women saints in the thirteenth century in Italy: “The Italian women saints inherited an oral tradition, passed on to them in the sermons they heard and in the stories they told each other, and they became so important in their societies that their lives were written down, and their visions, in which they elaborated and relived the stories they had heard, were thus preserved for us.” The lives include the Vitae of Blessed Gherardesca of Pisa, St. Umiltà and Blessed Margaret of Faenza, and Blessed Aldobrandesca of Siena, from the Latin texts of the Acta Sanctorum (begun by the Belgian Bollandist Fathers in the 17th c., based on lives composed soon after the deaths of the holy women).

The Buggbears, by John Jeffere, is primarily adapted from Grazzini’s La Spiritata. This edition was originally presented as the editor’s thesis for the University of Arizona. In his introductory essay to his Early Plays from the Italian (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1911) R. Warwick Bond notes: “Buggbears is a translation, not very close, from Grazzini’s La Spiritata (1561); combined with some scenes from Politi’s Gl’ Ingannati (1531), and others from the Andria of Terence: and La Spiritata owes suggestions to Cecchi’s Lo Spirito (1549), which is itself indebted to Ariosto’s Il Negromante (1520-30), and that in some measure to M achiavelli’s Mandragola (1512-20).” Gl’ingannati is now generally credited to the Accademia degl’Intronati rather than to any individual writer.

Castracani of Lucca (La vita di Castruccio Castracani), and extracts from The History of Florence (Istorie fiorentine). The editors comment: “Like the shape of the mythical figure Proteus, M achiavelli’s critical profile seems capable of an infinite number of variations. In the debate that has raged over his works ever since their first appearance in the sixteenth century, the views that have been expressed often reveal as much about the preconceptions of an age as they do about the meaning of M achiavelli’s ideas.” Also issued in paper; reprinted by Penguin in 1982 and 1983, and frequently thereafter, most recently in 2005.

7953 PALLAVICINO, Ferrante [La rettorica delle puttane (1673). Adaptation] The whores rhetorick (1683). A facsimile reproduction, with an introduction by James R. Irvine and G. Jack Gravlee. Delmar, New York: Scholars’ Facsimiles and Reprints, 1979. [4], v-xii, [30], 1-222 pp. Ferrante Pallavicino (1618-1664) was born into a noble family in Piacenza, and was intended for a career in the Church. He left the ecclesiastical life in 1634 and moved to Venice, where he became a member of the Accademia degli Incogniti, and befriended his eventual biographer Brusoni. Several of his works were vicious satires against sexual and political depravity in the Church and in the Spanish court. Among these the most extreme was Il divortio celeste (1643) in which, as Letizia Panizza writes in The Oxford Companion to Italian Literature: “Christ is so appalled by the depravities of his bride, the Church, as detailed by St Paul after a fact-finding mission, that he decides not only to divorce the Catholic Church but never to marry another.” (2002: 431) The work was published anonymously, but many knew that it was the work of Pallavicino. The next year he was arrested during a trip to France by agents of the Barberini pope, Urban VIII, whom he had attacked for his nepotism, venality, and licentiousness. He was condemned to death as a heretic, and was beheaded. The editors of this reprint note: “The little-known dialogues reprinted here comprise one of the numerous Restoration commentaries on the state of English society during the reign of Charles II (1660-1685). Like so many of the pieces from the pens of the Wits of the age, The Whore’s Rhetoric (1683) is unsigned, thus its authorship and intent remain a mystery. Its content, however, speaks for itself and affords yet additional insight into the mind and manners of the post-Cromwellian period. M oreover, because in its own way it addresses ‘rhetorick’ and its relationship to the art practiced by ‘ladies of the night,’ the treatise offers illuminating and entertaining for scholars of the period, especially for those with interests in rhetoric, literature, and whoredom.” It is likely that the English writer used Pallavicino’s work as the basis for his own piece of Restoration wit adapted to the London reader.

Ravenna: Longo editore, 1979.

D’Amico refers to the poems as parallels, rather than as translations proper, and himself provides literal translations of 20 sonnets, a madrigal, and part of a canzone. In his review for Italica, v. 58, no. 2 (summer, 1981), John Keith Wikeley of the University of Alberta noted: “Petrarch in England is essentially a selection of nineteen sonnets from the Canzoniere, printed together with translations by Wyatt and Surrey, and versions or thematically related poems by other English (or Scottish) poets of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.” He compares this anthology with M ortimer’s Petrarch’s Canzoniere in the English Renaissance (see 1975), and writes: “A basic difference in approach is apparent at the very outset: while M ortimer has sorted out only those English poems ‘that can be traced to a definite source in the Canzoniere,’ D’Amico heads his Introduction ... with a quotation form Anthony Burgess characterizing Wyatt and Surrey as kitchen helpers preparing the way for the master cook Shakespeare (of whose sonnets D’Amico associates seventeen, as against eighteen of Wyatt’s, with poems of Petrarch), and adds that he has ‘collected other poems which ... bear a recognizable thematic relationship to the original,’” Issued in paper.

The six intermedi were composed for the festivities that accompanied the wedding of Ferdinando de’ Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, to Christine, daughter of Charles, Duke of Lorraine. The team of composers includes Cavalieri, M alvezzi, M arenzio, and Peri. The intermedi, which framed a performance of Bargagli’s comedy La Pellegrina, involved stage action, and were virtually miniature operas. They are “The harmony of the spheres,” “The singing contest of the M uses and the Pierides,” “Apollo slays the Python at Delphi,” “The prophecy of the Golden Age and of the terrors of Hell,” “Arion is saved by the Dolphin,” and “Rhythm and Harmony descend to Earth.” All of the scores survive.

The original title page reads: Iconology; or, a Collection of Emblematical Figures; Containing Four Hundred and Twenty-Four Remarkable Subjects, Moral and Instructive; in Which Are Displayed the Beauty of Virtue and Deformity of Vice. The figures are engraved by the most capital artists, from original designs; with explanations from classical authorities. By George Richardson, architect. In two volumes: volume first [second]. London: printed for the author, by G. Scott, M DCCLXXIX. Orgel writes: “Iconology represents the end of an extraordinarily vital Renaissance tradition, the final revision of Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia, first published in 1593, and reissued in innumerable versions and editions throughout Europe. Richardson here presents the quintessential iconographic text in a splendid neo-classic redaction. That a practising eighteenthcentury architect should have seen Ripa’s figures as the proper subjects for neo-classic decorative schemes is a cultural fact of some importance: theorists from Addison to Spence and Winckelmann had decried the Iconologia as unclassical and irrational, but it remained an indispensable visual vocabulary for the professional artist. ... The illustrations, after designs by William Hamilton, are by a number of engravers, the most distinguished of whom is Francesco Bartolozzi.” See also entry 7166, for a reproduction of the 1758-60 Hertel edition LC,OCLC,UTL

translation) [6], v-xxvii, [2], 2-95, [1] pp. Caro’s only play was commissioned in 1543 by Pierluigi Farnese, but was not performed, and was only published in 1582, in a censored and error-filled edition. The editors write: “As a play in the tradition of the commedia erudita, Gli Straccioni is a representative of the tradition at its height. But as a play in which serious political themes are so incorporated that they become significant determining factors in the design of the comic structure itself, Caro’s comedy is perhaps unique. The manifestations of that cultural strategy most easily recognized in the play are the several allusions to specific projects and institutions associated with a campaign by the Farnese family, headed by Pope Paul III, to establish a new order in the city of Rome and the Papal States, encompassing both physical improvements and judicial reform. ... the play takes place quite self-consciously in a renovated Rome, and the dénouement of the fable is brought about by a lawyer acting in the new spirit of Farnese justice. This program was part of a larger one to renew the image of Rome and the church abroad.” It was finally edited according to the original manuscript in 1942. Issued in paper. CRRS,TRIN,UTL

The major part of this collections consists of translations of letters by St Catherine written between 1374 and 1380, together with a brief extract from the Dialogo della divina provvidenza. The translators note that: “St. Catherine’s letters were ‘talked rather than written’ (Vida Scudder), so much so that ‘while the general trend of her discourse remains clear, in spite of the at times almost breathless multiplication of digressions and asides, her habit of relying on her memory alone rather than her eyes sometimes trapped her into leaving the structure of her original sentence hanging in mid-air’ (Matilde Fiorilli).

He moved on the courts in Rome, Urbino, M ilan, and M antua, in the service of, among others, Isabella d’Este, Francesco Gonzaga, and Cesare Borgia. At his death he was mourned throughout Italy, and his poetic style was widely imitated, in Italy and throughout Western Europe. He used the poetic form the strambotto, a single stanza of eight or six lines with the theme of love. Sir Thomas Wyatt (1503?-1542) was much influenced by Petrarca and by Serafino, and in this monograph Bonanno presents l’Aquilano’s poems together with Wyatt’s translations and adaptations.

Concerning his De cardinalatu the authors note that it: “resembles humanist encyclopedias like Raffaele M affei’s Commentaria urbana and the various works addressed to secular princes by Pontano. All these works share essentially ethical aims: to unite all knowledge in usable form — illustrated by classical and post-classical exempla — in order to establish norms that could serve as guides to the conduct of life. Cortesi and his contemporaries lacked the overriding metaphysical concerns of the medieval encyclopedists but never lost sight of their own goal, derived from classical rhetoric: to move men to virtue and to regulate human action. To achieve this aim, Cortesi reviewed all the disciplines and activities of life, including the building and decoration of palaces.” This study first appeared in the volume Studies in Art History I (Rome, 1980).

[9], ii-ix, [3], 3-455, [1] pp. Gay Firth reviewed this translation for The Times, and wrote: “This version of the Divine Comedy is a far cry from Dorothy Sayers’s and Barbara Reynolds’ 1962 rendering for Penguin Classics, clogged with notes, cloying in its Victorianpoetic floweriness. No bathos, such as damaged Kenneth M ackenzie’s star-spangled box of tricks for the Folio Society last year. C. H. Sisson’s aim, expressed in his brief and only note, is the effacement of the translator before the text. The pleasingly plain, readable English well reflects Dante’s oratorical eloquence. ... A sustained effort to reproduce the rhythm, not the rhyme, allows lines of remarkable clarity and freedom. Properly grouped in threes, they retain Dante’s fluid cadences and, paradoxically, much of the elegance of terza rima, though lacking in the force which rhyme gives to the original’s most powerful and conclusive lines.” Sisson (b. 1914) is a poet, and a translator of Horace, Catullus, Ovid, and Virgil.

Irving, Texas: Spring Publications, 1980. [3], ii-xix, [1], 1-217, [1] pp.: facsim. Boer notes that: “Ficino’s genius, acclaimed in his own lifetime as the inspiriting force behind some of the greatest poets and painters, philosophers and statesmen of the era, has slept unread in the libraries of the western world for nearly five hundred years.” In the Liber de vita Ficino combines three pieces: a commentary on a section of Plotinus, a treatise on how to slow the onset of old age, and an earlier book on health, written in 1480. Boer comments: “Book Three proved the most controversial. Even as Ficino was writing it, he seems to have recognized the quarrels that would arise from a discussion of images, the power of the planets over human will, and the legitimacy of ancient magic and astrology. The reader will easily detect Ficino’s exasperation, his elaborate disclaimers, his reluctance to admit that he is doing anything but describing what others said. We are not often so poignantly reminded of what an evangelical police state the Renaissance could be.” Issued in paper; reprinted in 1988 and 1994. See entry 8927 for another translation.

Giovanni di Conversino da Ravenna; edited and translated by Helen Lanneau Eaker; with introduction and notes by Benjamin G. Kohl.. Lewisburg: Bucknell University Press; London: Associated University Presses, c1980. (Bucknell Renaissance texts in translation; Renaissance text series; 7) [8], 9-291, [5] pp.: facsim. Giovanni da Ravenna (1343-1408) spent the first part of his adult life as a wandering scholar. His neglect of his family led to the death of his wife M argherita and the severe illness of his son Conversino. At the age of thirty he settled into a career as teacher, author, and courtier, and soon after married a wealthy Bellunese widow. In Belluno he worked as a schoolmaster, then became a courtier in the Carrara household at Padua. In 1382 he moved to Venice, and then to Ragusa as a notary to the republic. By 1388 he was back in Venice, and after three years of teaching in Udine he returned to Padua, where he remained as a university teacher and courtier for twelve years. He spent the last years of his life teaching and writing in the Veneto, and died in Venice. The Dragmalogia records Giovanni’s ideas on the best way of life in the form of a dialogue between a Paduan and a Venetian. Kohl writes that: “the opposing views of the Paduan

513 and Venetian can be expressed as a series of binary oppositions. These antitheses, which are as clear-cut as any in the literature of early Renaissance humanism, may be stated without respect to any levels of interpretation as follows: Padua: rural life, honest agricultural labor, monarchy, piety, contemplative life, princely efficiency, scholarly leisure, land, cleanliness, purity, classical literature, primitivism, utopian view of past. Venice: urban existence, deceitful commercial enterprise, republic, impiety, active life, democratic inefficiency, trading activity, water, filth, contamination, volgare literature, modernism, hope for the present.” Giovanni shares the point of view of the Paduan. His ideas and philosophy were largely neglected because of the change in fashion of the fifteenth century. CRRS,KSM ,UTL

The campiello of the title is a little square, surrounded by tightly-packed houses — a sort of 18 thcentury Italian slum. The people here are poor, their opportunities few, if any, and as such their passions should never be portrayed as being quaint or cute, but rather as possibly naive.” Issued in paper.

The authors note: “Our knowledge of the remarkable Jewish community of K’ai-feng comes mainly from three sources: 1. The Chinese inscriptions from the synagogue. ... 2. Hebrew manuscripts from the synagogue. ... 3. Reports by Jesuit missionaries.” The Jesuits were M atteo Ricci (in 1605-8), the Piedmontese Jean-Paul Gozani (1704-13), Jean Domenge (1721-6), and Antoine Gaubil (1723-49). The Latin letters and manuscripts of Gozani are here translated for the first time. In a review for the Times Literary Supplement, C. R. Boxer wrote: “There were Jewish traders and settlers scattered in several regions of China, from the time of the Tang dynasty [618-906], if not earlier. But it was only the Kaifeng community which survived until very recent times and from its valuable records nearly all our information about Chinese Jews is derived. According to their own stone inscriptions of 1489, 1512, 1663 and 1679, the ancestors of this group arrived during the Song dynasty, probably before 1127. It is still uncertain whether they came by sea from the Yemen, or from the Gulf via India, or overland through Afghanistan and Central Asia.” The community was flourishing at the time of its contact with Ricci, but by the middle of the nineteenth century the almost wholly assimilated Kaifeng Jews “were in a state of abject poverty and chronic disunity. Their synagogue was in ruins, and they had no Rabbi, nor any knowledge of Hebrew.” See also entry 8426. English and French. Issued in paper. LC,UTL

(International library of social science) [4], 5-223, [5] pp. Piccone notes that in the standard histories of M arxism: “Labriola [1843-1904] is either acknowledged in passing as ‘another’ M arxist of the Second International or altogether ignored — after all, he died before most of the crucial events of this century had taken place. This summary dismissal, however,

has prevented a full appreciation of two extremely important points: (1) that Labriola realized well before anyone else operating within that tradition what were to be identified as some of the basic flaws of M arxist theory, and (2) that a full understanding of this state of affairs leads to a reassessment of the whole history of Italian M arxism from Gramsci to Eurocommunism. Although Gramsci can by no means be seen as a follower of Labriola (the relation between the two was completely mediated by Croce), the development of his ‘philosophy of praxis’ begins with the shipwreck of the traditional M arxism of the Second International in Labriola’s work.” Socialism and Philosophy was translated by Ernest Untermann, and first published in Chicago in 1907. Labriola’s essay “Concerning the crisis of M arxism” (1899) is translated here for the first time. Also issued in paper. Bishop’s,OCLC

In 1660 he was appointed Secretary of the Accademia del Cimento, for whom he prepared the Saggi di naturali esperienze (see entry 6448). Magalotti became distressed by the personal rivalries among the members, which undermined the academy’s dedication to collective research, and lost interest in science. In 1667 he travelled to the Netherlands, and in 1678 continued on to England, where he was invited to attend the meetings of the Royal Society, and visited Robert Boyle in Oxford. He met many prominent scholars, but was, however, disillusioned about his reception by Charles II. In 1673-74 M agalotti served as the Tuscan ambassador to the imperial court of the Holy Roman

Guido Reni (1575-1642) spent much of his long career in Bologna, where he established his own academy. The Oxford Companion to Art notes: “Reni’s latest style ... tends towards greatly simplified designs almost of the nature of sketches, thinly painted in very pale colours. The superficially structureless appearance of these works was exaggerated by his followers into insipid charm, and the numerous flaccid copies of his religious works prevented the appreciation of his real stature until well on into the 20 th c.” (1970: 971).

Writers of the period were sometimes apologetic about this ... . Yet as a mirror of its time and the taste of its patrons madrigal poetry may claim a place of its own in the history of the Italian lyric. It inveigles by its charms and gallantries: Lady and her lover play out their intricate amours according to the etiquette of chivalrous verse. Or it goads with its prurient insinuations. Or it rasps with its obscenities. Even when an overdose of platitudes seems to lead to the brink of literary disaster, the poetry manages to pull back at the last moment by a redeeming grace: brevity.

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

M azzei’s birth is a fitting occasion to publish the first unabridged and faithful translation of his autobiography, as a record of an adventurous life spent on three continents. In the reforming spirit of the Enlightenment, M azzei played a part in world-shaking events which included the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and the events that led to the adoption of the Polish constitution of M ay 1791. My Life and Wanderings follows closely a manuscript copy of the original, marked ‘collated,’ which is a recent acquisition to the Fondo Gino Capponi (M ss. Da riordinare 238-9) of the Florence Biblioteca Nazionale. The manuscript is a 905-page autobiographical letter began when M azzei was close to 80 years old and finished when he was past 82. It has been further collated with the corresponding section of the Memorie della vita e delle peregrinazioni del Fiorentino Filippo Mazzei, published in two volumes in Lugano, Switzerland, by M arquis Gino Capponi, a noted historian, in 1845-46.” Thomas Jefferson, in a letter quoted by M archione, expresses how much he valued M azzei: “An intimacy of forty years has proven to me his great worth, and a friendship which had begun in personal acquaintance, was maintained after separation, without abatement by a constant interchange of letters. His esteem too in this country was very general; his early and zealous cooperation in the establishment of our independence having acquired for him a great degree of favor.” Both Italy and the United States honoured M azzei with postage stamps in 1980, the 250th anniversary of his birth.

8056 MONTEVERDI, Claudio [Correspondence] The letters of Claudio Monteverdi. Translated and introduced by Denis Stevens. London; Boston: Faber and Faber, 1980. [8], 9-443, [5] pp., [1] leaf and [8] pp. of plates: ill.; map, ports. Stevens translates the 126 known letters of M onteverdi (111 being from the Archivio di Stato, Mantua) written between 1601 and 1643. M any are to the younger Alessandro Striggio (1573?-1630), his librettist for Orfeo, and to other functionaries of the M antuan court. In his 1981 review for Music & Letters, Tim Carter writes: “Although the letters span some 43 years of M onteverdi’s life, the majority, for obvious reasons, cover the period 1613-1630, from M onteverdi’s taking up the post of maestro di cappella of St. M ark’s to the sack of M antua by the imperial troops. The Gonzagas, and especially the composer, connoisseur and patron Duke Ferdinando, came to regret their hasty dismissal of M onteverdi in 1612, as is witnessed by their frequent commissioning from him of music for court entertainments and by their repeated but unsuccessful attempts to lure him back. ... Amid the intriguing cameos of musicians and musical life in church and court there are descriptions of the drastic effects of wars, plague and highway robbery. Running as a leitmotif throughout the letters is M onteverdi’s sense of grievance at having been badly treated by the Gonzagas, a grievance reinforced by the persistent refusal of the M antuan treasury to pay the pension granted him by Duke Vincenzo. For M onteverdi the oppressiveness of the M antuan marshes was matched by the oppressiveness of the court, and his experiences there, compounded by the tragic loss of his wife Claudia Cattaneo and his pupil Caterina M artinelli, left wounds that never healed. A near-psychotic bitterness flares up regularly throughout the correspondence.” But M onteverdi is reported to have been less than conscientious as a court employee, and difficult to work with. Carter would have preferred to see the Italian letters with a parallel translation, but commends Stevens’ work as a “labour of love,” and concludes that “there is some splendid material that deserves close scrutiny.” Reprinted in a revised edition by Clarendon Press in 1995.

c1980. (Nottingham drama texts) [2], iii-iv, [2], 3-68, [4] pp. What You Will (1607) has been identified as a free version of Sforza Oddi’s I morti vivi (1574), itself derived from Plautus’s Amphitryo. Woodhead’s introduction notes: “The play was certainly written for a private theatre, as the references to the tiny stage and to the use of candles makes clear; and for a children’s company, since two scenes — of the schoolroom and of the mock court of pages — as well as the finale, require more boy actors than an adult company could comfortably provide. ... The notion of a man so tormented that he can be brought to believe that he is not himself, Albano the merchant, but a perfumer, is a painful one. ... Fashion, in the literal or metaphoric sense, is responsible alike for Albano’s discomfiture and for the distress caused by his supposed widow’s short memory (the allusions to King Hamlet are not without point). ... Whom can the deluded merchant trust in a world so ‘hollowvaulted’, so plastered with sham? ‘Yes, boy,’ he confides to his page, ‘I’ll trust thee. Babes and fools I’ll trust.’” Issued in paper.

John Hoole (1727-1803) is perhaps best remembered as the translator of Tasso (see entry 6995) and Ariosto (see entry 6904). He also published translations of six dramas of M etastasio in 1767 (expanded to nineteen dramas in the second edition of 1802). Of Hoole’s own works Siebert writes: “His first tragedy, Cyrus (1768), was based on the Ciro Riconosciuto of M etastasio; his second, Timanthes (1770), on M etastasio’s Demofoonte, the only one of the two which Hoole also translated. His third and least successful play, Cleonice (1775), was a more independent effort.” This edition reprints in facsimile the 1769 edition of Cyrus (London: Davies), the 1771 edition of Timanthes (London: Becket), and the 1775 edition of Cleonice (London: Evans).

A reprint of the translation published in London by T. Cadell and W. Davies in 1806. Scarpa (1752-1832), celebrated anatomist and professor at the University of Pavia at the time of its greatest renown, was a

523 student of M orgagni prior to his appointment at the Universities of M odena and Pavia. He was a member of the leading medical societies of the time, including the Paris Academy, the Leopoldina, and the Royal Society. In addition to his pioneering works in ophthalmology, he experimented, practised, and wrote on otorhinolaryngology, orthopaedics, neurology, and surgery. His Saggio was reprinted in 1802, 1816, and 1817, and was published in French in 1807, 1811, and 1821. The illustrations, engraved by Faustino Anderloni from Scarpa’s own sketches, were excellent, and the Saggio is now considered to be the greatest work on ophthalmology of its time. Scarpa came to the study of diseases of the eye because of his dissatisfaction with the then current state of research in surgery and medicine of the eye, and wrote in his preface: “The following observations ... which are the result of my own practice and experience, have been published with a view to separate from this important branch of surgery whatever is untrue or exaggerated, and to assist the young surgeon in the treatment of the more important diseases of the eyes, not only by a selection of the most efficacious remedies hitherto known, but, as far as the present state of our knowledge admits, of the most simple and useful methods of operating, in the several cases in which they are requisite.” This reprint was itself reprinted in 1984 by the same publisher as a volume in The Classics of Ophthalmology Library.

Waterloo, Ont.: Wilfred Laurier University Press, 1981. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation; 3) [8], ix-xxxiv, [1], 2-80, [2] pp. Cecchi (1518-1587) was a Florentine notary, and a prolific playwright, of whom Ernest Hatch Wilkins notes that he: “may fairly be called the first Italian playwright, in the sense that he was the first Italian writer whose literary activity was busily and almost exclusively dramatic. He wrote about twenty regular comedies, the earlier ones quite in the spirit of his Florentine predecessors, the later ones restrained by the influence of the Counter Reformation. Some are free adaptations from Plautus or Terence; some are based on novelle; and some reflect current Florentine incident.” (1954: 263). L’Assiuolo borrows from Boccaccio’s Decameron in presenting a comedy of illicit loves. Eisenbichler summarises the plot: “The two youths, Giulio and Rinuccio, seduce and win the permanent affection of the two married ladies, Oretta and Violante, while Oretta’s old husband tries without success to seduce the virtuous widow Anfrosina (Rinuccio’s mother). When the servant Giorgetto notices that his machinations have been successful and that sexual encounters have either occurred or have been foiled as planned,

he himself goes off to a brothel to gratify his senses, thus underscoring the nature of the other incidents.” Issued in paper. *,M ichigan,UTL

Castiglione, in his Book of the Courtier states, though not without reservations, that dancing is one of the skills essential to a good courtier. Inglehearn writes: “The Italian courts vied with each other to attract the finest musicians, painters and poets, and great families like the d’Estes of Ferrara, the Sforzas in M ilan, or the Gonzagas at M antua gave their patronage to artists from all over Europe. From the middle of the fifteenth century we also find dancing masters taking an important place in the artistic life of the courts. ... In Cornazano’s work we catch a glimpse of the education of a Renaissance princess. Her dancing was to develop in her, not only grace of movement and sweetness of demeanour (Aere), but a deeper understanding of musical rhythm (Misura), an appreciation of artistic shapes and patterns (Compartimento del terreno) the subtle beauty of variety in form and movement (Diversita di cose), and above all a good memory. With such accomplishments she would hope to become the ‘Queen of Feasts’ and rule the hearts of her

This translation was first published by Carcanet in 1980. For this American edition a seventeen-page introduction and 180 pages of notes have been added — with the approval of Thomas G. Bergin, who has provided a foreword.. Concerning the translation he comments: “Charles Sisson’s version of the Comedy is of special interest because the translator is a poet in his own right. He is not, to be sure, unique in this respect, since Longfellow, Ciardi and Binyon could make the same claim: but an encounter of poets in the traffic of translation is always worth observing. Sisson, too, has his own notion of how to face his challenge. He holds that ‘a translator must write as comes natural to him, in the language of his day and in the kind of verse which belongs to the current development of the language and of his own technique.’ For this reason he eschews, as others have, the terza rima of the original and, in effect, much of Dante’s rhythmic pattern. Students of Dante translations (and there are such) will find Sisson’s approach worth studying. The reader having no such special interest will at least concede that Sisson’s lines are vigorous, readable and very definitely twentieth century in style and vocabulary.” Here Bergin does seem to damn with faint praise.

8121 Divini and Campani: a forgotten chapter in the history of the Accademia del Cimento. Maria Luisa Righini Bonelli, Albert Van Helden. Firenze: Istituto e museo di storia della scienza, 1981. (Monografia (Istituto e museo di storia della scienza); n. 5. Supplemento agli Annali dell’Istituto e museo di storia della scienza; anno 1981, fascicolo 1) [3], 4-176 pp.: ill.; facsims., port. Includes reproduction, transcription and translation of letters and other documents. The letters and documents are for the most part reproduced in facsimile, with the transcribed Italian and the English translation in parallel columns on the facing pages. Both Eustachio Divini (1610-1695) and Giuseppe Campani (1635-1715) were skilled makers of optical instruments and of clocks. Divini studied under Galileo’s disciple Benedetto Castilli,was a friend of the physicist Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647, a founding member of the Accademia), and established himself in Rome in 1646 as a maker of clocks and lenses. Campani and his brother M atteo were experts in grinding and polishing lenses, especially those of great focal length and slight curvature. The astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini (1625-1712) discovered additional satellites of Saturn with these lenses. Campani also made many observations himself. Cassini called his attention to the spots on Jupiter, and he disputed the priority of their discovery with his rival Divini. Divini also claimed priority over Christian Huygens (16291695) for the discovery and observation of Saturn’s satellites. Bonelli and Van Helden note that: “[Divini’s and Campani’s] telescopes were pitted against each other in direct comparison using printed pages as targets. During the height of this struggle, in 1664, the Accademia del Cimento became involved directing from Florence a series of tests in Rome. While these tests were not conclusive, the academicians did develop increasingly sophisticated test-sheets, the best of which approached the test-sheets for visual acuity standardized by

[S.l.: s.n.], 1981. 31 pp.: ill. Giulio Rospigliosi (1600-1669) was a pupil of the Jesuits and a graduate of the University of Pisa, where he later taught theology. He followed a career as a Papal diplomat, and in 1557 was named Cardinal and Secretary of State. He was elected Pope in 1667, and took the name Clement IX. Rospigliosi was an accomplished man of letters who wrote poetry, drama, and libretti. During his brief pontificate he opened the first public opera house in Rome. His death, perhaps hastened by the news of the loss of Crete to the Turks, was lamented by the Romans, who considered him, if not the greatest, at least the most amiable of popes. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes that he was the idol of the Romans, not so much for his erudition and application to business, as for his extreme charity and his affability towards great and small. Stefano Landi (1586 or 7-1639) was an influential early composer of opera. Sant’Alessio, written for his patrons and employers the Barberini family, is thought to be the earliest opera on a historical subject. A Roman, he spent the greater part of his career in Rome. OCLC

Latini (1220-1295) was a Florentine philosopher and scholar, who was at one time Dante’s teacher. Dante placed Brunetto in Hell, among the sodomites (Inferno XV), yet reveres him, values his advice, and has Brunetto call him ‘my son.’ John D. Sinclair comments: “How was it possible for Dante at once so to honour his old master and so to blacken his memory? The question is inevitable and had been repeatedly discussed. He had carried through the years imperishable memories of hours spent with Brunetto in the time of his own youth and hopefulness, and in proportion to his reverence and affection had been the shock when he learned of the corrosive lust that had accompanied Brunetto’s great qualities and services. Something of that pain is expressed in his first exclamation: ‘Are you here, Ser Brunetto?’ — the ‘you’ is emphatic.” (Dante Alighieri. The Divine Comedy. Inferno, 1961: 202) Latini is best known for his encyclopaedic prose work of medieval scholastic knowledge Li livres dou trésor (1262-66), written in French during his five years of political exile in France. The Tesoretto, also written during his exile, is a didactic poem in rhymed couplets of seven-syllable verse. LC,NYP,UTL

A free adaptation of Luigi Pasqualigo’s Il Fedele (Venice, 1576), it clearly illustrates English sentimentalization of the commedia erudita, the Italian ‘learned’ comedy whose form was derived from Roman comedy and whose traditional material, originating chiefly in the Italian novella of the late M iddle Ages and the Renaissance, was frequently treated in the satiric mode.” Hosley’s edition was originally presented as a doctoral dissertation at Yale University.

Concerning Carafa, Gleason notes that he: “was known as an intransigent opponent of Protestantism. A member of the Roman Inquisition from its founding in 1542, he was committed to the extirpation of heresy, and advocated strict means of controlling the spread of heterodox ideas. As Pope Paul IV from 1555-1559 he attempted to put his conception of rigorous church reform into practice. One example is the Index of Prohibited Books of 1559. ... He is remembered as the most intransigent of the CounterReformation popes, and has found little sympathy among later historians.” Issued in paper. LC,VUEM

Translated from Costumi e usanze dei contadini di Sicilia, Salvatore Salomone-Marino, 1897; edited by Aurelio Rigoli, 1968; edited and translated by Rosalie N. Norris. Rutherford; Madison; Teaneck: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press; London; Toronto: Associated University Presses, c1981. [4], 5-256 pp.: ill. The Sicilian scholar Salvatore Salomone-M arino (18471916) began his ethnographic study of the Sicilian peasantry around 1879. The poverty, moral degradation and subjugation to the landowners of the Sicilian labourers and their families had been described by scholars and investigated by government agencies from the 1870s on, but Salomone-Marino was able to provide a different point of view. In his introduction to the 1968 Italian edition, Rigoli writes: “The journal, so immediate and graphic, most of the time blunt, points out a reality quite close to that marked by Franchetti and Sonnino, to that underscored by Damiani and described by Colajanni. And this reality, according to Salomone-M arino’s conviction, is scarcely the only reality of this Island. In this Island there is, undoubtedly, economic misery: the whole literature of the South has not been wrong in this sense. But economic misery is not psychological and intellectual misery. This is the thesis of Salomone-M arino.

Bibliography 1981 The Sicilian peasant, for him, has his own precise moral and poetic reserve, by reason of his actions. In the Sicilian peasant there is no moral brutalization, nor moral decadence, as variously referred to by Sonnino and Damiani; in him, we might say, there is no psychological alienation, even if there is economic estrangement. As for the peasant’s family, SalomoneM arino warns: ‘This is a feeble sketch ... and the readers would fall into gross error if from this first picture they should try to judge the nature, and, more so, the heart of the Sicilian peasant, who has more kindness and affection and more delicacy than appears from what has been said up to now.’” But SalomoneM arino also notes that the peasant of the 1890s “has lost much, and morally, has gained nothing or very little, and what he has gained is quite questionable.” LC,UTL

New York: New American Library, c1982. [6], vii-xxxiii, [7], 1-693, [3] pp. The translators note: “Perhaps most important to the translation of a medieval classic is the problem of proper diction. This involves several problems: first, to render into English approximately the same thing Boccaccio means to say in Italian (something which is by no means always crystal clear); second and even more important, to retain in the translation those qualities of the original text which made the work what it was in the fourteenth century. Any conscious attempt to introduce into Boccaccio’s prose an archaic or anachronistic tone is the greatest mistake a translator of this century can make. The Decameron is no more like Victorian pseudo-medieval English than Dante is like M ilton or Virgil. Thous, thees and hasts will never supply a medieval ‘flavor’ to Boccaccio, because the authentic medieval flavor of The Decameron lies somewhere else — in precisely the contemporary and completely fresh tone of its language. This does not imply that a good English translation should lack eloquence or formal precision, but it does require a sensitivity to the many levels of style reflected in Boccaccio’s prose.” An earlier selection of 21 novelle, translated and edited by M usa and Bondanella, was published in 1977 by Norton in the series Norton critical editions.

The decameron: an entertainment conceived from Boccaccio. By Alexander Hausvater. 1st ed. Toronto: Playwrights Canada, 1982. [7], 2-57, [3] pp.: ill.

A reprint of the edition published by World Pub. Co. in the series Rainbow classics (see entry 4610). Issued in paper. LC

Hausvater’s play presents excerpts from the Decameron as they might have been presented in a German concentration camp during World War II by imprisoned members of the Cavalle Company, a real touring company managed by Ernesto Cavalle and his wife M aria. They and many of the members of their company had been arrested as communist sympathizers in 1940. Hausvater’s play proceeds from this premise. He writes: “The need for comedy to preserve life presents the acting company with a dilemma. They will have to entertain and to cause laughter not for the sake of their reputation, their ambitions, their careers, money ... but in order to go on living.” Issued in paper. KVU,UTL

([7], viii-xxvii, [2], 2-296, [2] pp., [1] folded leaf of plates; [5], vi-viii, [1], 2-430, [2] pp.): maps. A reproduction of the edition published by M urray; there is no contemporary Italian edition. From his memoirs, Finati seems to have been a scoundrel, and even Richard Burton — a later traveller to Mecca — disapproved of him. He had successively deserted from the Napoleonic, Turkish, and Egyptian armies before going into hiding in M ecca in 1814. Later, back in Cairo, he met Bankes, for whom he acted as interpreter, and through whom his narrative was published. New York,OCLC

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

An English verse translation. The translators write: “The Lauds are not well served by making rhyme and meter the primary considerations. Indeed, all too often in the original those considerations become the tail that wags the dog. A translation that concentrates on the strength of Jacopone, by contrast, the mottled word, can bring out the muscular texture of that utterance. ... The language of the Lauds has an exceptional range, and include vivid examples of what some call AngloSaxon bluntness. This trait is not apparently the monopoly of Anglo-Saxons and the translation, when the occasion demands, reflects that characteristic.” They note as an example Laud 81, concerning the ‘spiritual marriage,’ which according to Evelyn Underhill, in Jacopone da Todi, a Spiritual Biography (1919) “could hardly be offered to the modern reader.” Also issued in paper.

Cecchetti writes: “As to the translation itself, although it is as literal as possible, it also makes a constant effort to reproduce a certain atmosphere, a certain special tone— though with unavoidably limited success— and especially a certain stylistic diversity. The operette are written in a variety of styles, according to the tone their author intends to convey. They may carry a spoken, even a colloquial, flavor in most of the dialogues or a calmly expository one in some essays; or they may surprise us with their highly poetic power.” Reprinted in 1997.

Whether this interpretation is a legitimate development or a politicizing distortion is a question that can be answered not by simplistic slogans but only by the most painstaking study of the sources. ...

His principal activities as a practical musician occurred from 1503 until 1518 while he was a guardacoro at the cathedral of Parma. Here he directed the choir and intoned the chants sung at canonical hours.” Burtius’ book was written against the Musica practica of the Spaniard Ramis (or Ramos) de Pareia.

Hibbard’s study includes as an appendix the original texts and translations of early reports about the painter M ichel-angelo M erisi da Caravaggio (1573-1610) by Carel van M ander, Joachim von Sandrart, and by the Italians Vincenzo Giustiniani (1564-1637?), Giulio M ancini (1558-1630), Giovanni Baglione (1571-1644), Francesco Scannelli (1616-1663), Giovanni Pietro Bellori (1613-1696; see 1968, 2005), Luigi Scaramuccia (16161680), and Francesco Susinno (fl. 1724).

Hibbard notes: “Caravaggio is the most arresting European painter of the years around 1600. Although he died in 1610, in his thirty-ninth year, he is often considered the most important Italian painter of the entire seventeenth century. He is also notorious as a painter-assassin: he killed a man in 1606, and a similar crime was rumored in his youth. We would not be fascinated by his personality and his crimes had he not been a great painter; but the extent and even the nature of his artistic contribution is still in question, and his paintings will always be controversial.” Also issued in paper.

Travels in the United States of North America, 1785-87. Translated and edited by Antonio Pace, with natural history commentary; and Luigi Castiglioni’s Botanical observations. Translated by Antonio Pace and edited by Joseph & Nesta Ewan. 1st ed. Syracuse, New York: Syracuse University Press, 1983. [10], xi-xli, [5], 3-487, [5] pp.: ill.; facsims., plans. The two works translated were originally published together. Pace writes: “The main fruit of Castiglioni’s two years of residence in America was the Viaggio, the bulk of whose two volumes consists of a systematic compendium of information, drawn both from direct observation and secondary sources, on the topography, history, institutions, customs, agriculture, and industry of the individual states from M assachusetts to Georgia, to which is added a long descriptive appendix of plants deemed worthy of attention and possible adoption in Italy. ... The version below of Castiglioni’s Viaggio prtends to nothing more than a simple, readable rendition of the original text. To have attempted more would have been gratuitous, because Castiglioni’s prose possesses few qualities worthy of transposition into another language.” Pace also notes: “Instead of the sophistication and geniality of a Tocqueville, we find a fundamental simplicity and honesty that more often than not mitigate the drabness of the narrative and somehow endow it with a quiet efficacy and charm.” The M ilanese gentleman Castiglioni (1757-1832) in 1784 had been introduced to Ben Franklin in Passy, France, and was well received. He noted in a letter that Franklin was “worth knowing for his affability and

character no less than for his fame.” Franklin, for his part, found Castiglioni intelligent and amiable, and offered to help him in his American travels. Castiglioni, already trained in the natural sciences, learned English during his travels in England in 178485, and, as Pace notes, took the opportunity to “acquaint himself with as many aspects as possible of English civilization.” When his Viaggio was published in M ilan in 1790 it was well received, in particular, for its scientific aspects. Pace comments: “It is not unlikely that the Austrian censorship, sensitized by the events of the recent French Revolution, discouraged any manifestation of enthusiasm over whatever good things Castiglioni had to say about the new American republic as a government and a society.” LC,UTL

8332 Her immaculate hand: selected works by and about the women humanists of Quattrocento Italy. Edited by Margaret L. King and Albert Rabil, Jr. Binghamton, New York: Center for Medieval & Early Renaissance Studies, 1983. (Medieval & Renaissance texts and studies; v. 20) [11], 12-167, [7] pp. The women humanists represented here, and writing in Latin, are Laura Cereta, Cassandra Fedele, Battista da M ontefeltro M alatesta, Isotta Nogarola, M addalena Scrovegni, Ippolita Sforza, and Costanza Varano. The men who wrote to them or to other women are Francesco Barbaro, Girolamo Campagnola, Gregorio Correr, Ludovico Foscarini, Angelo Poliziano, Lauro Quirini, and Fra Tommaso of M ilan. The translators and editors write: “The works of the women represented in this volume have never been translated from the Latin in which they wrote into any modern language. What is presented here is, in some cases, most of what is known to survive and , in others, only a small part of a much larger production. Selections have been confined to women who lived during the Quattrocento, wrote in Latin, and regarded themselves— or desired to regard themselves— as part of the humanist movement so characteristic of the intellectual life of fifteenth-century Italy. Choice of the selections was determined both by their intrinsic interest and by their illumination of the problem women faced on entering the male world of humanist learning. Because we have focused on this problem, we have also chosen to include letters from male humanists to learned women in which they act as guides or counselors, giving advice of various kinds.” At the time of publication, M argaret King was Associate Professor of History at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York; Albert Rabil was Distinguished Teaching Professor of Humanities at the State University of New York at Old Westbury.

on the condition of the working classes: study edition. A new translation with introduction and notes by Joseph Kirwan. London: Catholic Truth Society, 1983. [4], i-xiii, [1], 1-65, [3] pp.

The tales are selections from Le cento novelle antiche, 21, 31, 44, 49, 69, 73, 83, 89, and 97; Franco Sacchetti, Le trecentonovelle (composed 1392-1397?), 60, 115, 169, 175, and 211; Giovanni Fiorentino, Il pecorone, i.1, iv, 1, and iv.2; Giovanni Sercambi, Le novelle, 11, 54, and 57; M asuccio Salernitano (ca. 1410-1475), Il novellino, 1, 4, 24, and 31; Antonio M anetti di Tuccio, Il Grasso legnaiuolo; Luigi Da Porto (1485-1529), “Historia novellamente ritrovata di due nobili amanti” (1530); Gian Francesco Straparola (d. ca. 1557), Le piacevoli notti, i.3, ii,1, iii.3, iv.4, and vii.2; M atteo Bandello, Le novelle, i.8, i.26, i.53, ii.52, and iii.62; Giambattista Basile, Il pentamerone, Introduction, i.4, ii.4, iv.9, v.1, v.9, and v.10. Smarr writes: “While aiming to achieve readable English in the tales that follow, I have also tried to convey a sense of stylistic changes by following the author’s patterns of language as closely as English allows. Basile’s alliteration, puns, and rhymes I have reproduced where I could without changing the meanings of his words; untranslatable wordplay is indicated in the notes at the end of the book. ... Although a stern contemporary may have judged them fonde, or ‘foolish,’ I find these tales to be among the brightest narrative jewels of the Italian novella collection.” At the time of publication, Janet Levarie Smarr was Professor of Comparative Literature at the University of Illinois at Urbana.

In his preface, Kirwan notes: “It is commonly asserted that Pope Leo XIII’s most famous encyclical came at least forty years too late. Such a statement reveals a mis-understanding of the relationship between papal teaching on social issues and the world which is called upon to apply the teaching. Before a pope can make a realistic call for a social change the bases for that change must already exist in society. By the time Rerum novarum appeared the opportunity for effecting change had come. By then the teaching of a pope would be listened to.” Kirwan points out that in the existing English translation the latin locupletes and proletarii are translated as ‘rich’ and ‘poor’, whereas the meaning is closer to ‘wealthy owners of the means of production’ and ‘the unpropertied workers’. He writes: “The contrast between the propertied and the unpropertied in the process of production is plainly deliberate. In every case there is a reference to the class division and the class war.” Issued in paper. See also entry 3916a, and 1943 and 2002. KSM ,UKM,UTL

M el Gordon writes: “It would be difficult to think of an historical style that has affected twentieth-century performance more than the Italian Commedia dell’Arte. For avant-garde directors in the 1910s — people like Vsevolod M eyerhold, Nikolai Evreinov, M ax Reihardt, Jacque Copeau, and Gordon Craig — the Commedia, with its reliance on stereotyped characters, masks, broad physical gestures, improvised dialogue and clowning, represented the very theatricality of the theatre.” With translations of Pulcinella, the False Prince, and Pulcinella, the Physician by Force, by Claudio Vicentini.

I have therefore followed him closely, and even adopted his rather weird punctuation. This is eccentric, even in Italian, but deliberate and consistent, and I hope the reader will get used to it, even if this means reading a few sentences aloud to accustom his ears to the sort of pauses intended by the author.” No more volumes in this series were published.

Edited by Caroline Barron, Christopher Coleman and Claire Cobbi, in, The London journal, v. 9, no. 2 (1983), pp. [136]-152. The very legible manuscript, illustrated with his own drawings, of Alessandro M agno (d. 1576) is held by the Folger Library (ms. V.a. 259). Concerning Queen Elizabeth I, early in her reign, M agno writes: “I saw Queen Elizabeth when she was staying at Greenwich, which is a village on the river about five miles from London. She was there with the nobles of her court. The Queen is a very lovely woman, greatly good, benign, affable, and about thirty years old.” M agno remarks on the common social custom of kissing, now more closely associated with the M editerranean world, and even has good things to say about English cuisine, and in particular the variety of fresh meats and seafood available. On the other hand, M agno has little good to say about the business practices of English merchants, or the prevailing protestant religion. M agno notes the passion of the English public for animal baiting, but also mentions the legal protection of the swans on the Thames. The editors write: “Alessandro M agno ... was a Venetian merchant of noble birth. When he left Venice in 1557 on his first voyage to Cyprus he was only eighteen ... . M agno was, clearly, determined to investigate, understand and record everything that he saw and he has left a detailed chronicle of his several journeys by sea and land between 1557 and 1563. He arrived in England in August, 1562 and left for Antwerp at the end of September.” Concerning travel accounts in the sixteenth century, they write: “A new class of European laymen, literate, well-educated, well-travelled, prosperous and curious was to initiate a genre of travel diaries which have been the blessing and the curse of literary circles ever since. As in so many fields it was the Italians who led the way. The demands of commerce and banking had prompted them to take a close interest in the products, the needs and the customs of other countries. M oreover, the Venetians had, from the late thirteenth century, expected to receive reports from their ambassadors. These were often delivered orally, but written reports became common in the fifteenth century. ... Alessandro must have known of the relazione of the Venetian ambassadors and yet his journal is wholly unlike their reports. There is none of the plagiarism that characterizes their accounts. Although on occasion Alessandro comments on the same points as other Italians he lacks their sophistication. He did not move in elevated court circles and he met no one of note. M agno came to London as a young M erchant, eager to learn some tips which would be useful to his budding business, to do a little trading, to see the sights and to

M ontgomery states: “As its title suggests, the work is ostensibly an apology for The Divine Comedy, the most elaborate ever constructed for that poem. But throughout the seven ample books of the completed work, the amount of space given to direct discussion of Dante’s lines is surprisingly small. Instead, M azzoni fashions a complete poetic to surround and justify the Comedy, providing it with an entire literary and philosophical context. The result is not so much the defense of

an individual poem as it is the articulation of a complete theoretical attitude toward imaginative literature.” M ontgomery also discusses the work by Belisario Bulgarini (1538 or 9-ca. 1621), Alcune considerazioni sopra ’l Discorso di Giacopo Mazzoni fatto in difesa della Comedia di Dante. “A Florida State University book.” LC,UTL

Binghamton, N.Y.: Center for Medieval & Early Renaissance Studies, State University of New York at Binghamton, 1983 (Medieval & Renaissance texts and studies; v. 22), pp. [183]-229. Bergin writes: “The letter we are here concerned with is on of the longest of the Epistolae metricae and by no means the least interesting of the collection. Highly personal and even confessional in substance, it tells us more about the state of mind of the recently crowned laureate than he himself realized. It confirms or illuminates passages appearing in other works of Petrarch; it has engaging links, notably but not exclusively, with the Africa, the Rerum memorandarum libri and some of the familiares. And nowhere in the canon of the poet’s works are his notions of the nature and function of poetry more clearly and concisely set forth than in certain lines of this polemical apologia.” The letter was a response to a hostile and insolent letter received by Petrarch in 1344, supposedly written by one Lancellotto Anguissola, a Lombard noble, but actually the work of Brizio Visconti, at that time a co-ruler of M ilan.

Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, c1983. [5], vi-viii, [1], 2-128 pp. Edwards explains that: “Quodlibetal disputations were exercises held twice a year by many masters of theology in medieval universities. They differed from ordinary disputations dealing with some prearranged topic in that the master holding the quodlibetal disputation could be asked questions on virtually any topic (de quodlibet) of interest to his audience. Thus a master might find himself responding to questions on metaphysics, theology, pastoral care, religious life, practical morality, canon law — all in the course of one session. — St. Thomas Aquinas held quodlibetal disputations regularly during the years he taught theology at the University of Paris. Quodlibetal Questions 1 and 2 are the written versions of the two disputations of 1269. In them the Angelic Doctor reveals his broad knowledge and versatility, treating topics as diverse as the nature of God, the movement of Angels, monastic life, crusades, morality in business transactions, and the nature of resurrected bodies. Some of the topics are unique, having no parallels in other works of St. Thomas.” Issued in paper. LC,PIM S,UTL

from his own time to the present day. It contains an account of his fluctuating reputation among critics, but goes further than this. An artist’s fortune can sometimes — and this is certainly the case with Tintoretto — be traced also through the response of travel writers, historians, novelists, playwrights, philosophers, through the diffusion of reproductive prints and other copies and through the prices fetched by his paintings.” Among the many Italian writers whose letters, observations, and criticisms are quoted in translation are Pietro Aretino, Jacopo Sansovino, Giorgio Vasari, Veronica Franco, Raffaele Borghini, Giovanni Battista Armenini, Giovanni Paolo Lomazzo, Carlo Ridolfi, and Marco Boschini.

8401 BECCADELLI, Antonio [Hermaphroditus (1425)] Antonio Beccadelli and the Hermaphrodite. [translated with an introduction by] Michael de Cossart. Liverpool: The Janus Press, 1984. [4], 5-67, [1] pp. Antonio Beccadelli (1394-1471) was known as Il Panormita, a name derived from the Latin name of his native city, Palermo. A humanist and scholar, he served as a secretary at the Naples court, and was awarded the laurel crown by the emperor Sigismund in 1432. His best known work, the Hermaphroditus, is made up, as de Cossart notes, of: “eighty-one more or less substantial epigrams written in strict classical Latin verse ... . The book itself deals with the multifaceted aspects of human sexuality, basically heterosexuality, both from the woman’s and from the man’s point of view, and male homosexuality, both from the ‘passive’ and from the ‘active’ partner’s standpoint. He does not, however, deal with the subject of lesbianism; and the more specialized deviant practices are only hinted at in passing. Beccadelli carefully refrains from passing moral judgement on any one form of sexual practice. And this probably explains a great deal of the criticism that his work attracted.” It was first published, in Paris, only in 1791, and did not appear in print in Italy until 1922.

Self-conscious oratory and poetry have no effect upon the people of Rome, for everything springs out in spontaneous life from their nature — it is glowing with life and energy because it owes nothing to simulated or artificial origins. ... My purpose is to set down the verbal idiom of the Roman just as it issued from his mouth, without ornament or alteration, without correcting its syntax or its license.” Michigan,NYP,OCLC

559 The editors write: “Diruta’s Il Transilvano or The Transylvanian is important for several reasons. It is the first treatise written in Italian to deal exclusively with keyboard music. It is the first explicitly to distinguish between the style of playing on an organ and of playing on a harpsichord. It is the first to reflect the musical genius of the late 16 th-century Venetian school of keyboard music, specifically that of Claudio M erulo. It contains examples and illustrations of every kind of sacred Italian keyboard music of that day: M agnificats, hymns, ricercari, canzonas, and toccatas. It is, finally, a practical volume that ranges over such topics as how a performer ought to sit at the keyboard, why ‘a player of dances’ (a harpsichordist) finds it difficult to play on an organ, what stops an organist ought to use for each of the tones, the necessity of learning to transpose, and many other subjects.” LC,UTL

Eatough writes: “I hope that this edition of Fracastoro’s Syphilis will be of interest to classicists, neo-latinists and students of the history of medicine, although I make no original contribution to this last subject. This is essentially the work of a classicist who has ventured into unknown territory, but, aided by recent scholarship, I have tried to offer new interpretations and elucidate a large number of literary, mythical, geographical and even botanic topics in the poem. Syphilis has too often been viewed from an almost exclusively medical angle which has obscured even the medical realities. The medical facts are important, as my notes show; but Fracastoro was a polymath and his poem requires a balanced approach. Future studies of Syphilis should, for example, attempt to show the influence of Fracastoro’s contemporaries and immediate predecessors on his poetry, and to explore in more detail Fracastoro’s relationship to the iconography of his period. I do not comment on points of grammar or syntax.” For a note on Fracastoro, see entry 3128. LC,NYP,UTL

Travelling aboard one of the ships of Pedro Alvares Cabral which set sail from Cochin, Joseph, a leading priest of the St. Thomas Christians, reached Lisbon in June or July, 1501. There he was received by King M anuel. After six month’s stay in Portugal, he, with a companion from Lisbon, proceeded to Rome and got an audience with Pope Alexander VI. After Rome he visited Venice quite probably on his way to Jerusalem and Persia. Reports of the interviews Joseph gave in Lisbon, Rome and Venice are extant. But what he told the Venetians was extensively reported.” This is the report presented, translated and studied in this book. Reprinted in 2001 by Gorgias Press (Piscataway, N.J.). LC,OCLC,UTL

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

In her preface, Bermann writes: “M y purpose in translating Alessandro M anzoni’s “Del romanzo storico” is quite simple. M anzoni’s is the major nineteenth-century essay on the historical novel, and it has never, to my knowledge, appeared in English. In my translation, I have tried to present a readable version to Anglo-American students of the novel, aesthetics, and literary history, not to mention of M anzoni himself. Although translations of nineteenth-century Italian prose can sound quaint and convoluted to twentieth-century American ears, M anzoni’s original rings with a vigor and irony that are as appealing now as they were over one hundred years ago, and I have tried to capture something of this complex energy.” M anzoni’s essay is an examination and eventual rejection of the historical novel as a genre.

The original title page reads: History of Seyd Said, sultan of Muscat: together with an account of the countries and people on the shores of the Persian Gulf, particularly the Wahabees. By Shaik M ansur, a native of Rome, who after having practised as a physician in many parts of the East, became commander of the forces of the sultan of M ascat, against the Geovasseom and Wahabees pirates. Translated from the original Italian ms. hitherto not published. Sa’idbin Sultan, lived from 1791 to 1856, and became sultan of M uscat and Oman in 1804, and of Zanzibar in 1806. In 1840 he moved his capital from M uscat, Oman to Stone Town, Zanzibar. The dynasty survived until 1964, when Zanzibar merged with Tanganyika to form Tanzania. Bidwell points out that M aurizi was no scholar and no Arabist, and was liable to error when he goes outside his personal experience, but, Bidwell writes: “His is the only account ever given by a participant in the coup in which Sayyid Said seized power and his eye-witness reporting of the Omani army in action is well worth reading. However, the most important contribution that M aurizi makes to knowledge of Arabia is his record of a long conversation with a Wahhabi

[10], ix-c, [3], 2-450, [4] pp. The 1935 edition was compiled from a group of one hundred consultation reports, hitherto unpublished. Jarcho writes: “The master’s response [to a request for an opinion] often opens with the courteous statement that he had read the practitioner’s letter carefully and found it to be commendably exact. After briefly stating the chief complaint an occasionally supplementing it by an opinion as to diagnosis, M orgagni usually specified the locus of origin and then described the pathogenic mechanism, sometimes at great length. ... After these explanations M orgagni would formulate one or more therapeutic intentions and would then recommend treatment based on each. ... While it is easy to point out the deficiencies of this system — M orgagni mentioned them again and again — we must not overlook the fact that many of his replies contained clinical, anatomical, pharmacological, and pharmaceutical information, as well as extensive references to the literature. M uch of this knowledge must have been useful to the practitioner and hence beneficial to the patient.” For a note on M orgagni, see entry 6036. Laurier,Michigan,NLM

Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press; München; Wien: Philosophia Verlag, 1984. (Analytica) [8], 9-372 pp.: ill.; diagrams, tables. In his preface, Perreiah writes: “Paul of Venice [ca. 13701428] is a Janus figure who looks both backward into the M iddle Ages and forward into the Renaissance. An Augustinian Friar educated at the Oxford Convent in the 1390's Paul returned to Italy and taught at Padua for more than 25 years. In addition he was Provincial of his order and an ambassador of the Venetian Republic to Austria, Hungary and Poland. He has been called ‘one of the most prolific writers of the century’, and the Logica Parva is one of four works attributed to him in logic. ... Because of its wide readership the Logica Parva earned for Paul of Venice the reputation of having imported the ‘Oxonian dialect’ to Italy. Paul’s many works in Logic, Science, Philosophy and Theology not only record main currents in 13 th and 14th century thought: they also anticipate major trends of the 15 th and 16 th centuries.” CRRS,LC,OCLC

L’Alessandro was written for the Carnival of 1544. It contains three closely-linked plots, and Belladonna notes: “Piccolomini’s ostensible motivation for writing the play was to offer the ladies in the audience a lesson on the superiority of romantic love. ... The plot relating to Aloisio and Lucrezia involves the characters in many romantic adventures necessitating the use of disguises; its aim is to show the persistence of ideal love. ... The second plot is more bourgeois in tone, ... . The prevailing exemplary scheme here is that of love conquering lust. ... In sharp contrast to the other two, the plot relating to Gostanzo and Brigida is far from romantic. Gostanzo is a dupe on whom a memorable beffa [derived from the Decameron] is mercilessly played.” Issued in paper. *,M ichigan,TRIN

The source for the Italian text was the second volume of Maraviglie dell’arte, ovvero, Le vite degli illustri pittori veneti e dello Stato (1648). The introduction notes: “Ridolfi’s biography is far and away the most important single primary source of information on Tintoretto [1512-1594]. In it are most of his paintings and almost everything we know about his life. ... Ridolfi [1594-1658] published his Life of Tintoretto separately in 1642 and included it, with occasional and very minor changes, in his large two-volume Lives of the Venetian Painters which appeared six years later. The section of Ridolfi’s Tintoretto that has probably made the strongest impression on modern critics is that which deals with the painter’s working methods. The motto that, according to what Ridolfi tells us, Tintoretto hung in his studio — ‘M ichelangelo’s design and Titian’s color’ — was even then not a new saying, but it does express succinctly the two greatest outside influences on Tintoretto’s art.” CRRS,LC,UTL

century. His work stands at the beginning of the tradition of Italian Renaissance artist-engineers, with a growing interest in technological matters of all kinds. His drawings, with handwritten annotations, depicted ‘ingenious devices’ in hydraulic engineering, milling, construction, and war machinery. In particular, Taccola’s manuscripts raise the question of water supplies, and address the need to supply Siena (a city without natural waterways) with regular supplies of drinking water. Perhaps appropriately, he was named the ‘Sienese Archimedes.’ He began his career as a sculptor, and he is known to have contributed to the carving of the choir of Siena cathedral in 1408. Some sources suggest that his nickname ‘Taccola’ (‘Jackdaw’) referred to his talent for woodcarving, others, that it refers to his aquiline nose; it should also be noted that Italian ‘taccolare’ means to chatter, or talk incessantly. Some of his drawings illustrate the lifting devices and reversible gear systems which Brunelleschi devised for the construction of the dome of Florence cathedral, at that time the widest in the world. Two ideas of great importance first appeared in Taccola’s manuscripts: the chain transmission system, and the compound crank with connecting rod which converts rotary motion to reciprocal motion, a technical concept that has been considered crucial for the postmedieval development of Western technology (for example, the steam and internal combustion engines). The originality of Taccola’s machine designs is not clear, though many devices and processes made their first recorded appearance in his works. After Taccola’s death, interest in his work waned, perhaps because his treatises only circulated as manuscript copies. His original manuscripts, whose style turned out to be more sophisticated that those of its copies, were rediscovered and identified in the state libraries of M unich and Florence only in the 1960s. His drawings were copied and circulated, and served as a source for works by Buonaccorso Ghiberti (1451-1516), Francesco di Giorgio Martini (14391502), and perhaps Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519).

8459 [Tacuinum sanitatis (14th cent.)] The four seasons of the House of Cerruti. Translated by Judith Spencer, complete revised translation. New York, New York; Bicester, England: Facts on File Publications, c1984. [4], 5-142 pp.: col. ill. The manuscript of the Tacuinum sanitatis which provided the text and 205 illustrations for this translation is preserved in the Österreichische Nationalbibliothek (ms. Series nova 2644). The Latin text is based on the Taqwim al-sihhah of Ibn Butlân (d. ca. 1068), whose approach can be traced back to the naturalistic philosophy of Empedocles and the medical biology of Hippocrates, incorporating the theory of the four elements and the four humours. The text for aubergines (eggplant), for example, advises: “When picking aubergines, married women and virgins should be on their guard against aroused males, for the nature of the fruit is hot and moist and its melancholic odors induce deviations from decent behavior.” The introduction states: “The miniatures illustrate herbs, fruits from the orchard and garden, trees, field crops, wild and domesticated animals,

and occasionally the preparation of these foods. All this is rendered in keeping with the actual style of life in the Po valley at the end of the fourteenth century, a particularly rich cultural; crossroads at the time, and one whose art is noticeably influenced by French and Bohemian borrowings. Although critics attribute this manuscript to the artist Giovannino de Grassi, for his influence is certainly apparent in these pages, the illuminations are without doubt the work of many painters. These painters, while on the one hand observing contemporary reality and reproducing it according to the rhythmical flow of international Gothic style, also borrowed from illustrations from the Arabic tradition and from as far back as late antiquity.” This English version is based on the Italian edition Il libro di casa Cerruti (M ondadori, 1983). *,UTL

Partially as a result of his interest in the classics, he wrote his most influential work, the Emblematum liber (1531, Emblem Book), the first of several editions to appear in his lifetime. Alciati’s original conception of an emblem was poetic and referred only to a special kind of epigram: indeed, one-fifth of the two hundred and twenty emblems in the first edition were translations or imitations of the Greek Anthology. The highly pictorial epigrams led the printer to add visual illustrations of the ideas expressed in the epigrams to the 1531 edition. Although Alciati seems to have had little regard for this part of his writing the vogue of emblem books in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe was phenomenal. Despite his original intention, the genre came to have a tripartite structure: caption, illustration, and epigram.” (1979: 6; see also entries 9601 and 0402 for Alciati, and entries under the subject heading ‘emblems’) OCLC,UTL (2)

8503 BARONIO, Giuseppe [Degli innesti animali (1804)] On grafting in animals (Degli innesti animali). Giuseppe Baronio; translated by Joan Bond Sax; with an historical introduction by Robert M. Goldwyn, M.D. Boston: the Boston Medical

A limited edition of 325 numbered copies printed at the Bird & Bull Press (Newtown, Pa.); the Western copy seen is no. 77. A correspondent with the Plastic Surgery Research Council (USA) noted that: “Italian physiologist Giuseppe Baronio (1759 [i.e. 1758]-1811) ... carried out a series of successful autografts of sheep skin [publishing the results] in 1804 ... . Baronio removed pieces of sheep skin 12.5 by 7.5 cm, replaced them 80 minutes after excision, and found that the skin survived. Baronio’s work pre-dated a reported success in man by thirteen years.” An artistic rendering of Baronio’s sheep has been accepted as the official emblem of the Council. Such grafts are presumably considered of a different nature from the technique using still-attached flaps of skin practised successfully at least two hundred years earlier by Gaspare Tagliacozzi (De curtorum chirurgia per insitionem, 1597; for a note on Tagliacozzi, see entry 5048, and for a more complete translation of his book, see entry 9673).

Gian Lorenzo Bernini; translated, with an introduction and notes, by Donald Beecher and Massimo Ciavolella. Ottawa: published for the Carleton University Centre for Renaissance Studies and Research by Dovehouse Editions Canada, 1985. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation; 6) [7], 6-69, [5] pp. In the introduction, Beecher and Ciavolella write: “Contemporary letters, journals, and biographies testify that Gian Lorenzo Bernini [1598-1680] found the time during a busy career as artist, architect, sculptor, and professional scenographer to compose for a coterie audience of friends and associates as many as twenty plays for performance at his own home and at his own expense, a pastime and accomplishment of which he spoke of some pride and satisfaction in later years. But until recently, this side of Bernini could be the subject of little more than speculation; the records were thin in detail and none of the original texts were thought to have survived. This case was altered considerably, however, by Cesare D’Onofrio’s publication in 1963 of a Bernini play under the title Fontana di Trevi, so named because the original appears in a fascicule inscribed ‘Fontana di Trevi MDCXLII,’ an account book on repairs carried out to the famous Roman fountain. This is the play that we have called The Impresario ... . This short and apparently unfinished comedy is the only surviving text upon which to base a judgment about Bernini as a playwright.” The play, seemingly a conventional love intrigue in the tradition of the commedia dell’arte, features an impresario named Graziano who creates a play within a play, featuring a second Graziano. The editors comment: “it is a play about the theatre in which [Bernini] creates ironic impressions of the impresario’s profession.” Issued in paper. LC,TRIN,UTL

8515 BORGIA, Lucrezia [Correspondence. Selections. English, Italian and Spanish] Messer Pietro mio: letters between Lucrezia Borgia & Pietro Bembo. Translation & preface, Hugh Shankland; wood engravings, Richard Shirley

Smith. Marlborough, Wiltshire, England: Libanus Press, 1985. 46, [66] pp.: ill. A limited edition of 150 copies, numbered 1-135, and A-O for the 15 special copies with an extra set of signed prints. The trade edition was published by Godine, and by Collins Harvill (see entries 8705-6). The nine extant letters from Lucrezia Borgia to Pietro Bembo are preserved in the Biblioteca ambrosiana, M ilan (M s. H.246); they were published in 1859 under the title Lettere di Lucrezia Borgia a messer Pietro Bembo. Six were in Italian, three in Spanish. Bembo’s letters were selected from various published and unpublished sources. The early life of Pietro Bembo’s great love Lucrezia Borgia (1480-1519) was driven by the political interests of two exceptionally forceful men: her father, Pope Alexander VI, of whom M achiavelli wrote that he “never did or thought of anything but deceiving people,” and her boundlessly ambitious elder brother Cesare. She was first married at thirteen to a Sforza, but the political side did not work out, and her father forced an annulment when Lucrezia was seventeen. Her second husband, the Prince of Salerno, was strangled before her eyes, at Cesare’s command, in the couple’s Vatican apartment in August, 1500. Her final marriage, in 1502, was to Alfonso d’Este, the eldest son of the Duke of Ferrara. Later, as Duke, Alfonso became one of the foremost generals in Italy. M odern scholars discount much, if not all of Lucrezia’s evil reputation on the grounds that as a Borgia and a Spaniard, as well as an illegitimate daughter of a pope, she became a target of the hatred stirred by her family’s power and political activity in Italy. Bembo, then thirty-two, ten years older than Lucrezia, was introduced to her towards the end of 1502 by his Ferrarese friend Ercole Strozzi. Bembo was already associated with the scholar-printer Aldus M anutius in Venice, and had published with him a carefully edited text of Petrarch’s Rime. He was also a formidable classicist. The friendship between messer Pietro and the duchessa became very warm. They exchanged visits, and the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in M ilan still preserves one of Bembo’s treasures: a long lock of fair hair, which no one has ever seriously doubted he obtained from Lucrezia. In fact, all the papers of Bembo in the Ambrosiana library are mementos of his friendship with Lucrezia, including the nine letters from her (there were probably many others) translated here. In 1816 Byron visited the Ambrosiana and was shown the letters, which he called “the prettiest love letters in the world.” He also contrived to steal a strand of Lucrezia’s hair. In August, 1503, Alexander VI died of a fever, and by November Cesare, who had also been ill, was a prisoner of the Borgia’s most determined adversary, Giuliano della Rovere, Pope Julius II. The power of the Borgias was effectively at an end, as was Lucrezia’s usefulness as a marital pawn. Don Alfonso, who had been away touring foreign cities and fortifications, returned in October. Perhaps he had had reports of Pietro’s too close attentions to his wife. In any case, Bembo, sensibly, found it necessary to leave for Venice. In 1505 he was to dedicate Gli Asolani, his prose and verse treatise on the torments and joys and heavenly rewards of men’s love for women, to Lucrezia: “A M adonna Lucrezia Borgia Estense Duchessa Illustrissima di Ferrara.” After a meeting in April of 1505 there is no evidence that they ever saw each other again.

Bibliography 1985 Bembo spent several years at Urbino, and provided his friend Castiglione with the idea for the impassioned discourse on the noble love appropriate to the courtier who is no longer young that forms the climax to The Book of the Courtier. Lucrezia bore Alfonso nine children, suffered several miscarriages, and died of puerperal fever in 1519. She was thirty-nine. OCLC

571 translated by Jennifer Petrie. Oxford: Dominican Sources, 1985. (Dominican sources: new editions in English; no. 3) [2], iii-xxi, 1-71 pp. The Catholic Encyclopedia states: “[Caterina de’ Ricci] is chiefly known to the world for her highly mystical and miraculous life, and especially as the subject of a marvellous, but fully and most carefully authenticated ecstasy, into which she was rapt every week, from Thursday at noon till 4 p.m. on Friday, for several years. In this state she went through all the stages of Our Lord’s Passion, actually realizing, and showing forth to others with wonderful vividness, all that His Blessed M other suffered in witnessing it. ... While still a child, Alessandra [Lucrezia Romola] resolved to join some strictly observant religious order; but the state of relaxation just then was so universal that it was long before she could find what she desired. Her vocation was finally decided during a stay at Prato, where she made acquaintance with the Dominican Convent of Saint Vincenzio, founded in 1503 by nine ladies who had been devoted followers of Savonarola. ... Catherine de’ Ricci lived in an age of great saints; among her contemporaries were St. Charles Borromeo, St. Philip Neri, and St. M ary M agdalen de Pazzi. She was beatified in 1732 ... and canonized by Benedict XIV in 1746.” She lived from 1522-1590, and her feast is kept on February 13 th. The letters are arranged as letters to Catherine’s family, to the Sisters, to the Friars, to other saints, to rulers and prelates, and to disciples.

In 1940, the Walt Disney Studio reduced Collodi’s Adventures of Pinocchio to a mere cartoon absurdity— a fact bitterly resented by every literate adult at the time— by putting the finely-drawn character of the good-fornothing, knavish puppet into a cloyingly cute cartoon creature

which was less a wooden puppet than a naughty-but-nice little boy.” Teahan also notes that Lorenzini did not profit from the various translations of his book because of the lack of a uniform international copyright system.

This trade edition is reduced in size from the original Livre d’Artiste edition published by Phillips at the Talfourd Press (see entry 8322). For this edition, Phillips has added a section of “Iconographical notes and commentary on the illustrations.” The 139 pictures contain a parallel text embedded in the images; Phillips describes this as: “a verbal commentary made up of treated fragments of the Victorian novel A Human Document by W. H. M allock ... . Having once boasted that M allock’s turgid text was an inexhaustible mine I here put it to its sternest test, to parallel the visual commentary of the plates with verbal glosses that might act as an alternative line of markers as the reader follows Dante’s journey. I have been using M allock’s book now for twenty years; another twenty or so and we both might make it to Paradise.” Of his translation, Phillips says only: “[it] is in blank verse and tries to be as straightforward and as faithful a modern rendering as possible.” For an exegesis of the text, he refers his readers to Dorothy L. Sayers’ commentary to the Penguin classics edition (though he judges her translation “eccentric”). LC,Michigan,UTL

8545 Humanism in Italian Renaissance musical thought. Claude V. Palisca. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, c1985. [6], vii-xiii, [1], 1-471, [3] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims., music. Palisca presents the Latin and Italian texts, with English translations, of extracts from works by more than twenty writers, from Pietro d’Abano (1250-1315) to Gioseffo Zarlino (1517-1590). Palisca writes: “In this book I aim to show that with music, as with the other arts and letters and learning in general, the movement we call the Renaissance began in Italy, and that its chief source of inspiration was the revival of antiquity. Fundamental changes in this period in both musical thought and style issued from the ferment of ideas and activity that we celebrate as the Renaissance. The renewal of learning in Italy led to a rethinking of some fundamental issues in music theory and aesthetics that directly affected practice. Questions such as the nature of the modes, the control of dissonance, melody, and rhythm in counterpoint, the relation between text and music, and the degree to which the aural sense or mathematics should determine the rules of composition, were argued in letters, discourses, and treatises written in Italy by philosophers, humanists, musical theorists, and musicians. Their thinking was intertwined at many points with the general intellectual strands that constituted the very core of the Renaissance spirit.” Ennio Stipèeviæ, in his review for International Review of the Aesthetics and Sociology of Music (June 1988: 127-9), notes: “Palisca bases his research largely on poorly known sources in rare books and manuscripts. ... Hardly any of these writers and translators have been mentioned to date in even the most exhaustive surveys of Renaissance musical culture. Palisca examines and studies the musical thought of these Renaissance authors in the original, in Italian and Latin, and gives a wide range of translations, which are both precise and clear. In most cases, the original is given along with the translation, a sound practice. These translations in themselves represent a full

anthology of musical and theoretical texts by Renaissance authors, the majority of whom have been almost unknown to musicological science until now.” Palisca also makes a detailed study of the well known Gaffurio, Zarlino, Girolamo M ei, Vincenzo Galileo, and others. His book was given the award of the International M usicological Society in 1987. CRRS,LC,M USI

Caxton almost invariably prefers the French to the English and the Latin, but he also frequently uses vocabulary and phrasing from [Gilte Legende] in passages otherwise modelled closely on the French. ...

8553 MACHIAVELLI, Niccolò

In his introduction, M ansfield writes: “M achiavelli’s The Prince ... is the most famous book on politics when politics is thought to be carried on for its own sake, unlimited by anything above it. The renown of The Prince is precisely to have been the first and best book to argue that politics has and should have its own rules and should not accept rules of any kind or from any source where the object is not to win or prevail over others.” Concerning his translation, M ansfield writes: “I have sought to be as literal and exact as is consistent with readable English. Since I am convinced that M achiavelli was one of the greatest and subtlest minds to whom we have access, I take very seriously the translator’s obligation to present a writer’s thoughts in his own words, insofar as possible.” M ansfield (b. 1932) has spent his entire career at Harvard University, where he is William R. Kenan Jr. Professor of Government. He has published extensively on political philosophy, on American political history, and he has written studies of M achiavelli, Edmund Burke, and Tocqueville.

Giovanni M eli (1740-1815) was a Sicilian chemist, physician, and poet. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “After studying with the Jesuits in Palermo, Meli turned to educating himself by thoroughly reading the Latin and Italian classics and the French philosophes whose progressive ideas were beginning to make inroads into Sicily. Largely to please his mother, Meli took up the study of medicine, but his first love was lyric poetry. ... His reputation in both courtly and popular circles grew as his pastoral and anacreontic verses, lyrics written in both Italian and dialect, found an audience in Palermo’s high society as well as among commoner folk.” (1979: 328). For more on Meli, see entry 8644. OCLC,Oswego

The Lucidarium, the “giver of light,” is a survey of the entire field of music theory, exclusive of rhythmic notation (which Marchetto would deal with in his Pomerium). M archetto was a singer and choirmaster at the cathedral of Padua during the first decade of the fourteenth century. Palisca writes: “M archetto’s vivid directions to singers ... suggest that he was first of all a practising musician; the unorthodoxy of his mathematical notions and his reliance on another in organizing his treatises and in working out their philosophical arguments ... suggest that, despite the sophistication of his ideas, he lacked extensive scholastic education.” LC,M USI,PIMS

Books I-VIII were published by State University of New York Press (see entry 7553); books IX-XVI were published by Johns Hopkins University Press (see entry 8233). In his introduction, Bernardo writes: “These last eight books of Petrarch’s Familiares include 122 letters written for the most part between 1353 and 1361, following Petrarch’s move from Provence to Italy. M ost of the letters were written from M ilan, with some thirty written in Padua and Venice between 1361 and 1365. ... Thus, these final eight books include letters written at a critical period of Petrarch’s life, when his intellectual powers had reached a high point, as had his reputation and his determination to return to his beloved Italy. His desire for continued independence together with his rekindled love for Italy led to a series of letters addressed to some of the highest ruling authorities of the time, starting with the emperor, Charles IV, and proceeding to the Doges of Venice and Genoa, as well as a number of lesser rulers, all of whom Petrarch thought were irreparably harming Italy and humankind.” *,Michigan,UTL

Pugliese states that the selected principal arguments in translation of De falso credita et ementita Constantini donatione declamatio amount to approximately one-seventh of the text. Pugliese comments: “It is undeniable that Valla is extremely skilful in arguing his point of view, whether it be on the question of the religious or on that of the donation of Constantine. However, he himself has stated ... that rhetoric is to be employed, not simply to win debates, but in order to reach truth. The orator must be a moral individual, as the rhetoricians of antiquity had taught, so that rhetoric would not be made to serve dishonest ends.”

Bibliography 1985 The editors note that Valla: “advocates an inner kind of spirituality that can be achieved even by the laity and he criticizes the ecclesiastical institutions for their role in exploiting the legend according to which the emperor had allegedly conferred political power on the Pope. These treatises, and especially the well-known Donation, aroused considerable interest among the Protestant reformers; they are, moreover, fascinating texts for the modern reader too.

8601 ALBERTI, Leon Battista [De re aedificatoria (1485)] The ten books of architecture: the 1755 Leoni edition. Leon Battista Alberti; translated into Italian by Cosimo Bartoli; [translated into English by James Leoni]. New York: Dover Publications, 1986. [15], 2-240 pp., [68] pp. of plates: ill. A reprint of the edition published in London by R. Alfray in 1755, translated by Giacomo Leoni (1686-1746). The publisher’s note to this Dover edition states: “Although originally inspired by a wish to clarify Vitruvius, it goes far beyond the ancient Roman author. Alberti’s work is a glorification of the architecture of antiquity as interpreted by a practicing architect of the Renaissance familiar with the latest advances in mathematics, engineering and aesthetic theory.” Alberti’s work was complete in manuscript in 1452.

8603 ARETINO, Pietro [Il Marescalco (1533)] The Marescalco (Il Marescalco). Pietro Aretino; translated, with introduction and notes, by Leonard G. Sbrocchi and J. Douglas Campbell. Ottawa: Published for the Carleton University Centre for Renaissance Studies and Research by Dovehouse Editions Canada, 1986. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation) [7], 6-149, [1] pp. Il Marescalco was probably written in 1526-27, when Aretino was under the protection of Federico Gonzaga of M antua. The publisher notes of the play: “A devastating and farreaching satire emerges from a prank put upon his stable master by the Duke of M antua. The M arescalco, whom everyone knows to be a homosexual, must marry a young girl of the Duke’s choice. As a courtier, the stable master must endure his Lord’s whims, even to the point of betraying his sexual identity. Though the play ends with hearty laughter, the courtly life of that age comes under sardonic scrutiny.” It soon became

politically inconvenient to the Duke to have Aretino at his court, and Aretino left M antua for Venice, where he spent the rest of his life. A second edition was published in 1992. See also the translation by George Bull in Five Italian Renaissance Comedies (1978). Issued in paper. CRRS,OCLC,UTL

[6], vii-xxii, [2], 1-105, [3] pp. Young notes: “The text of the present translation ... is based upon the sixth and final edition that Beccaria personally oversaw, published at Leghorn in 1766 and bearing the false place impression of Haarlem. This was the text chosen by Franco Venturi for his excellent 1965 Italian edition. If it would be going too far to say that this arrangement represents Beccaria’s ‘own’ version of the work, it is nevertheless the version that contains the alterations that he was willing to use, and it may be said to be the version that best represents the thinking of the circle of M ilanese reformers to which Beccaria belonged.” Also issued in paper.

8605 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [Amorosa visione (1342-43). English and Italian] Amorosa visione: bilingual edition. Giovanni Boccaccio; translated by Robert Hollander, Timothy Hampton, Margherita Frankel; with an introduction by Vittore Branca. Hanover; London: University Press of New England, 1986. [6], vii-xxix, [2], 2-255, [3] pp. The Amorosa visione, written in terzine, presents love as an ennobling, religious force. Ernest Hatch Wilkins finds the poem to be: “an incoherent allegory, intended to signify the ascent, through love, from the life of the senses to the life of the spirit. The poet, with a majestic lady as guide, comes to a wall in which there are two gates: a narrow gate, leading to eternal peace, and a wide gate, leading to earthly happiness.” (1954: 105) The poet explores, at length, what is beyond the wide gate, and is then ready to go back and enter the narrow gate, but at this point the poem stops. Hatch Wilkins also notes: “The Amorosa visione has the dubious distinction of being the world’s hugest acrostic. Boccaccio first wrote three sonnets, which together contain about 1500 letters, and then so wrote his poem that the initials of the successive tercets and single final lines of his fifty capitoli correspond exactly to the letters of the sonnets. The metrical form of the poem is taken from the Divine

(Garland library of medieval literature; v. 53. Series A) [5], vi-lxxxii, [1], 2-419, [11] pp.: port. The translators write: “To the student of English literature the Filostrato is of particular interest as the principal source for Chaucer’s great work, the Troilus. ... In our translation we have aimed to be as literal as possible. In the main Boccaccio’s language is not difficult here, and even the English reader with no knowledge of Italian will be able to make out a good deal of the original assisted by a close translation. .. Occasionally, however, Boccaccio’s syntax is tortuous, even to the point of obscurity; nevertheless, even where it is so, we have not tried to provide illumination. Once or twice only have we suggested interpretations of difficult passages.” For an earlier translation, by Griffin and M yrick, see entry 2904. In their introduction, apRoberts and Seldis note: “When Griffin wrote his introduction in 1929, he accepted the conception and conventions of Courtly Love as firmly established by half a century of critical investigation. In the last

decade the idea of a fixed, universal convention in the treatment of love by medieval authors has been under increasing attack. ... The sound approach is to analyze a given work to discover the attitude toward love which it presents and not to impose upon the work attitudes derived from the codification of the treatments of love by various medieval authors. Accordingly, where Griffin’s introduction deals with ‘The Filostrato as a Courtly Love document,’ we deal with ‘The Conception of Love in the Filostrato.’” KSM ,USL,UTL

New York; London: Garland Publishing, 1986. (Outstanding dissertations in the fine arts) [21], 2-325, [5] pp.: ill.; plans. This study includes the Latin text and an English translation of Musaeum. It was originally presented as Quint’s doctoral thesis for UCLA. Quint writes: “Cardinal Federico Borromeo (1564-1631) is best known as the founder of the Ambrosiana, the first public library and art gallery in M ilan (1603-1618). As a cousin of St. Charles Borromeo, he is also considered as an energetic ecclesiastic personality instrumental in bringing about the religious reforms postulated by the Council of Trent. Both St. Charles and Federico Borromeo took a deep interest in art as a form of religious propaganda, but while St. Charles’ treatises are occasionally mentioned in the history of artistic theories, Cardinal Federico’s literary works are somewhat neglected. ... His observations on the works of Leonardo and his M ilanese followers, on Raphael, M ichelangelo, and finally on Titian and other Venetians, are all focused on his personal experience in gathering such celebrated masterpieces as Leonardo’s Musician, Raphael’s cartoon of the School of Athens and Titian’s Adoration of the Magi.” OCLC,YRK

8613 CAROSO, Fabritio [Nobiltà di dame (1600)] Nobiltà di dame. A treatise on courtly dance: together with the choreography and music of 49 dances. Fabritio Caroso; translated from the printing of 1600, edited, and with an introduction by Julia Sutton; the music transcribed and edited by F. Marian Walker. Oxford; New York: Oxford University Press, 1986. [5], vi-x, [1], 2-362, [4] pp.: ill.; facsims.,

music, ports. By the late sixteenth century, formal dance, having attained great sophistication and style, had become the rage in the courts of Europe. All occasions of state, no matter how small, were celebrated in the ballroom, and dancing skills were assiduously cultivated by royalty and the aristocracy, and by the middle classes as well. The dancing master Fabritio Caroso was born in Sermoneta some time between 1526 and 1535. He was sponsored by the Caetani ducal family, and practised his art chiefly in Sermoneta and Rome. Tasso dedicated a sonnet to Caroso which was included in Nobiltà di dame. The dedications in Caroso’s books suggest that he moved in princely circles, and may have travelled to various cities of northern Italy. He died some time after 1605. Sutton writes: “Caroso’s rules reflect one whose experience with the young is extensive, while they display the humanistic approach typical of a tutor to the courtiers of the time, such as an insistence on perfect symmetry, the justification of current practice by ancient custom, and the use of terms related to classical verse metres and architecture.” In her preface, Sutton notes: “It is to be hoped that this publication of Nobiltà di dame in translation and transcription will be a step towards making all dance materials of the [Renaissance] available, so that greater accuracy and truth in concert and stage productions may be attained, and dance may once again take its equal place in our view of the arts in Renaissance courtly life. ... A work of this kind is tested when the dances themselves are brought to life. All of the dancers and musicians, both collegiate and professional, who have joyously performed these dances and given living proof to their charm and viability, have contributed immeasurably to this volume.” LC,M USI,UKM

(Garland library of medieval literature; v. 18. Series A) [8], ix-lxiii, [2], 2-128, [6] pp.: ill. Concerning Cavalcanti (d. 1300), Ernest Hatch Wilkins writes: “The Cavalcanti were one of the great Guelf families of Florence. Guido, a man of lofty intellect and strong emotions, exceedingly proud and scornful, was deeply versed in philosophy, yet ready to take his share in personal or factional feuds. ... Toward the end of the [thirteenth] century he became active as a leader of the Whites; and in June 1300, he was among the factional leaders who were banished. He became ill in exile, and was presently allowed to return to Florence, where he died in August. ... The most elaborate of his poems is an exceedingly difficult canzone on the nature of love ... . In Cavalcanti’s thought, love is a human psychological phenomenon, amenable to scientific analysis and exposition. Such exposition he undertakes in this canzone; and, in spite of the intricate character of his doctrine, he succeeds in setting it forth, highly condensed, in a poem which is at the same time a metrical tour de force, and not untouched by beauty.” (1954: 29-30) Dante called Cavalcanti his “first friend.”

In his introduction, Bornstein writes: “As Dino Compagno says, no one was better placed than he to describe the factional conflicts of [the last decades of the 13 th century and the first years of the 14th]. He was a successful merchant, inscribed in the guild of Por Santa M aria. His repeated election as one of the four consuls of his guild attests to his prominence: he served six-month terms as consul in 1282, 1286, 1291, 1294, 1nd 1299. He was also a member of the important confraternity of the M adonna of Or San Michele, which was founded in 1291 to foster the cult of that miracle-working image, and in 1298 he held the office of captain of the confraternity. Compagni’s political career was equally respectable. ... [He] participated directly in several key events in the political life of Florence: the establishment of the priorate, the application of the Ordinances of Justice, the revision of the statutes, and the final collapse of the White party in Florence. He knew at first hand the failure of the commune to restrain the fomenters of factional violence and the futility of all efforts at reconciliation. He earned the knowledge and wisdom which is condensed in the pages of his chronicle through bitter experience.” With the defeat of his party, the Whites, Dino’s public career was ended. Bornstein notes: “He lived the rest of his life, until his death in 1324, like an exile in his own city, tending quietly to his modest business and mulling over the events which had led to his party’s defeat.” And he wrote his Cronica.

Plant writes: “The present translation deliberately aims to do one thing only: tell the story. This is the side of Dante’s great poem that more often than not gets lost under the weight of attempted versification and a mass of notes and commentary. Too often Dante is approached with excessive awe and too little fellow-feeling, and the knowledge that his Comedy is one of the greatest cathedrals of the human mind prevents many people from walking in. It was Dante himself, in a famous letter to his friend, Can Grande della Scala, who first said that the best way into his works was through the story.” The illustrations are details from the engravings of Gustave Doré (1861).

8627 DANTE ALIGHIERI [Poems. Selections] The stone beloved: six poems from Dante Alighieri. Translated by Harry Duncan; lithographs by Peter Nickel. Austin: Kairos Press, 1986. [52] pp.: ill.

Dante’s rime petrose — two canzoni and two sestine, here with the addition of two related poems — are expressive of the suffering caused by a woman’s unrelenting hardness. Ernest Hatch Wilkins writes: “Some scholars think that these poems reflect a real experience; others, that they are allegorical; others still, that they are merely fictional, and that they were composed as deliberate poetic tours de force. It is clear, in any case, that they were written under the direct influence of the poetry of Arnaut Daniel.” (1965: 48) The poems were probably composed in 1296-97.

Del Bufalo (1786-1837) was the founder of the M issionaries of the Most Precious Blood. He was ordained in 1808, and in 1810 he was banished, and later imprisoned, for refusing to swear allegiance to Napoleon. From 1815 on he gave missions throughout central Italy, and founded a congregation of secular priests. The Catholic Encyclopedia (1909, v. 6) notes: “How arduous some of [Del Bufalo’s] missions were may be gleaned from the fact that he frequently preached five times daily, sometimes even oftener. At San Severino fifty priests were not sufficient to hear confessions after his sermons. Though idolized by the people, he was not without enemies. His activity in converting the ‘briganti’, who came in crowds and laid their guns at his feet after he preached to them in their mountain hiding-places, excited the ire of the officials who profited from brigandage through bribes and in other ways. These enemies almost induced Leo XII to suspend del Bufalo. But after a personal conference, the pope dismissed him, remarking to his courtiers, ‘Del Bufalo is an angel.’” He was canonized in 1954. The eleven letters translated here were written between 1826 and 1837 on the occasion of the yearly community retreats of the priests, brothers and seminarians of the Society of the Precious Blood.

was also a neo-Latin poet, and is known for his history of the Schmalkaldic War (1546-7), Prima perte della guerra di Alamagna, published by Giolito in 1552. His poem on Venus, and in praise of the Este family, was set to music of five parts by Cipriano de Rore (1515 or 16-1565), composer at the court of Ferrara from about 1545 to 1559, when Duke Ercole II died. Lowinsky notes: “He was famous above all as a madrigal composer who ... gave the decisive impulse to expressive rendering of the words.

Giles of Rome ; translated with introduction and notes by R. W. Dyson. Woodbridge, Suffolk; Dover, New Hampshire: The Boydell Press, c1986. [8], i-xxiii, [3], 1-264, [4] pp. In his preface and translator’s note, Dyson writes: “It is curious that so important a book as the De ecclesiastica potestate of Giles of Rome should have remained unprinted until the early years of the twentieth century. It is hardly less curious that, with the exception of a few anthologized passages, no English translation of it should yet have been made. ... I have tried to produce a translation ... which is both accurate and readable. Where it was necessary to sacrifice the second desideratum to the first, however, I have invariably done so: in all such cases, I have thought it better to be inelegant than misleading.” KSM,LC,UTL

(Biblioteca di Quaderni d’italianistica; v. 2) [8], i-xxxii, [3], 2-255, [1] pp., [12] leaves of plates: ill. Sicilian text and English blank verse translation in parallel columns. Cipolla writes: “Giovanni M eli (1740-1815) is undoubtedly the most accomplished poet who ever wrote in Sicilian, a language that had already distinguished itself, under Frederick II, as the first poetic idiom of Italy. While there has been considerable disagreement over M eli’s specific place in the history of Italian literature (was he an Arcadian poet? How open was he to revolutionary ideas?) He is regarded as one of the most important literary figures of his time. In spite of the fact that the use of his native language made his poetry nearly inaccessible to a majority of Italians, M eli occupies a place of prominence among Italian poets of the 18 th century.” Concerning the poem itself, Cipolla writes: “Critics have attempted to associate M eli with one or the other of his characters. The truth is that M eli was both Don Chisciotti and Sanciu Panza and it would not be too difficult to identify those utterances that M eli would have acknowledged as his own. If one were to separate the sane utterances of Don Chisciotti from those that are patently insane, one would have a compendium of M elian widom. ... And Sanciu, too, is M eli. Indeed he represents the prevailing attitude within the poet. He is, as we have seen, the ‘tabula rasa’ that experience and the example of Don Chisciotti have filled. He is the empiricist, the sensationalist, the skeptic, the man who does not believe in witches, and the materialist who believes in the need to work.” Issued in paper; republished by Legas in 2002.

Kansas City, Missouri: The Lowell Press, 1986. [8], ix-xlvii, [2], 2-226, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. Sutton writes: “As a young man, Hieronymus M ercurialis [1530-1606] was educated in Greek and philosophy, studied medicine at Padua, and returned to [his home town] Forli to practice, ‘giving equal attention to curing the sick and expounding the books of the Greek philosophers and medical men.’ His prominence and scholarly repute were such that his fellow citizens sent him as a delegate to Pope Pius IV in Rome, where he was received by Cardinal Alexander Farnesius. Because of his erudition, eloquence, and personality, he enjoyed the company of the most eminent men of letters ... . After seven years in Rome, M ercurialis, having utilized the vast resources of that library, accepted the chair of M edicine at Padua. He attended an illness of the Emperor M aximilian and received distinguished awards for his services. M ercurialis taught at Padua for many years, also at Bologna and Pisa. ... No other writer has single-handedly manifested his astonishing capacity for collating all that was known into specialty texts, many of which were the first of their kind: on the feeding of infants, the art of gymnastics [see 2008], diseases of the skin, of women, of children, of the eyes, and of the ears, while publishing masses of material on poisons, epidemics, medicines, and the practice of medicine with ‘the diagnosis and treatment of all diseases of the human body.’” M ercuriale, as might be expected, begins his book on diseases of the skin by referring to the Greek authorities Hippocrates, Plato, and Galen.

8649 PICO DELLA MIRANDOLA, Giovanni [Commento sopra una canzone de amore (1486?)] Commentary on a poem of platonic love. Giovanni Pico della Mirandola; translated by Douglas Carmichael, Professor of Philosophy, St. Lawrence University. Lanham; New York; London: University Press of America, c1986. [2], iii-xvi, 1-114, [6] pp. Pico’s commentary, his only major work in the vernacular, is ostensibly on “Amor dalle cui,” by Girolamo Benivieni. Carmichael writes: “It is strictly only in virtue of its title that Pico’s work is a commentary on Benivieni’s poem at all. In reality it is an essay on love in three books, although he follows them with an almost line-by-line interpretation of the poem showing how his own ideas are there figuratively presented.” The text of the translation is based on Eugenio Garin’s edition in De Hominis Dignitate, Heptaplus, De Ente et Uno (Firenze: Vallecchi, 1942). Carmichael’s translation of Pico’s Heptaplus was published by Bobbs-M errill (see entry 6546). He is also the author of Pendragon, a historical novel about the rise of King Arthur.

8701 ALBERTI, Leon Battista [Intercenales (ca. 1441)] Dinner pieces. Leon Battista Alberti; a translation of the Intercenales by David Marsh. Binghamton, New York: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, in conjunction with the Renaissance Society of America, 1987. (Medieval & Renaissance texts and studies; v. 45. Renaissance text series; v. 9) [9], viii-ix, [4], 2-268, [4] pp.: ill.; port. Alberti’s Intercenales is a collection of Latin dialogues and fables, left unpublished during his lifetime. M arsh writes: “In 1890, Girolamo M ancini edited the pieces then known in manuscript sources; and in the early 1960s, new parts of the text came to light, nearly doubling the extant portions. Partial translations exist in Italian and English, but this is the first English translation of all the extant text. Since it is the first time that all the surviving pieces have been assembled in a reconstruction of the original collection, the present translation will afford the reader a coherent anthology by which to judge the originality and variety of Alberti’s Latin fiction. ... Like Petrarch before him and M ontaigne after him, Alberti’s topic is often himself. In his comedy Philodoxeos, he had assumed two fictional identities: the earnest protagonist Philodoxus and the witty comedian Lepidus. The Dinner Pieces likewise present their author in two guises, as the struggling scholar Philoponius (“lover of toil” in Greek) and the irreverent cynic Lepidus.” Michigan,OCLC,KVU

The translators write: “The chief purpose of this book is to make available to a wider audience the works of a major literary figure of the early Renaissance. We believe that our collection will be of use not only to students of Renaissance literature and humanism, but also to anyone interested in the histories of education, historiography, language, philosophy, religion, women, and social and political theory. But we have also had the hope that, simply by collecting between two covers a sizeable and representative sampling of Leonardo Bruni’s works, our book might contribute to scholarly discourse about the place within European culture of Renaissance humanism in general and Bruni in particular.” Some of the texts are reprinted, or have been retranslated, but many works appear here for the first time in English. The writings are presented under the headings: Classicism and Florentine culture; Orations and letters on political ideas and practice; The new history; The new language; The new education; The new philosophy; M oral conduct in business and marriage; and Letters on Bruni and the Church.

Holm writes: “Thomas Salter is not the author of this treatise. What he presents is for the most part a close translation of Giovanni M ichele Bruto’s La institutione di una fanciulla nata nobilmente (Antwerp, 1555), an epistolary address to Lord Sylvester Cattaneo on the subject of his daughter’s education. ... The Mirrhour of Modestie is a plagiarism of one of the most conservative of sixteenth-century humanist positions on women’s education, introduced to England almost twenty years before Bruto’s treatise was to appear in English under his own name. The decision to publish the work as Salter’s may have been influenced by Bruto’s relative lack of reputation in England prior to 1579.” Little is known about Salter himself. LC,UTL

Women are portrayed as naturally sexual and clever people. Although they often use their cleverness to fool a senile husband or gain some extra money, they are not portrayed as unusually malicious or a danger to virtuous men. The tellers pass no judgement on any of these men or women or their exploits unless, of course, the character happens to be a priest. Firenzuola, a monk himself, seems to delight in taking aim at clerics, and the Tales are characterized by a considerable degree of anticlericalism.” Issued in paper. CRRS,LC,NYP

Italian text with parallel English verse translation. Guinizelli (ca. 1230-1276) was a Bolognese jurist who, towards the end of his life, was banished from Bologna with other Ghibellines. Concerning his extant poetry — some twenty canzoni and sonnets — Ernest Hatch Wilkins has written: “Guinizelli may or may not have derived from Guittone [d’Arezzo, d. 1294] the idea that the qualities of beauty and of angelic service are combined in his lady; but in any case he fused these ideas in a vital poetic union that was destined to have a profound influence on Dante, who, in his turn, called Guinizelli il padre mio.” (1954: 29). Edwards writes: “One recurrent obstacle in translating Guinizelli and other medieval Italian poets has to do with lexical choices. Some words like gioia (‘joy’ and ‘jewel’) carry multiple senses that come into play in ways that English cannot always duplicate. Other words, such as the adjective eletta, suggest rich associations with several contexts of signification, though not all of them have equal force in a particular passage. M ore important, key terms like valore and vertute acquire meanings that preclude one’s translating them by a single equivalent word. Faced with these difficulties, which are at the same time the resources of Guinizelli’s verbal artistry, the translator has to settle for conveying an overall sense and preserving the acuity of images so far as he can.” LC,M ichigan,UTL

The 1994 auction catalogue notes: “The Codex Hammer ... is a lively record of the thoughts of the great Renaissance artist and scientist. Composed of a series of loose sheets on which Leonardo wrote down ideas and observations as they occurred to him, the manuscript gives direct evidence of its author’s relentless curiosity and his intellectual urge to understand causes and effects in nature so as to enjoy the beauty of the world through knowledge. Water is the central theme of the Codex Hammer, which presents Leonardo’s observations on subjects ranging from astronomy to atmosphere and meteorology, from physical geography to geology and paleontology, and from hydraulics to canalization. These provide substantial evidence for the study of his approach to science and technology, especially his understanding of the effects produced by moving water on the earth and in the sky. In this notebook Leonardo remarked, a century before Galileo, that the secondary light of the moon is sunlight reflected from the seas of the earth, and he correctly explained the presence of marine shells and fossils on mountains and plains far away from the sea, observing that ‘above the plains of Italy, where flocks of birds are flying today, fishes were once moving in large shoals.’ ... Dated to c. 1508-10 by comparison with other Leonardo manuscripts, the Codex Hammer is composed of eighteen double-sheets or thirty-six folios, each written recto and verso in Leonardo’s characteristic mirror script and illustrated with sketches of the subjects under discussion.” LC,OCLC

(Scrinium historiale; 15) [7], 8-347, [5] pp. Between 1615 and 1628 the Servite Fulgenzio M icanzio (1570-1654), an associate of Paolo Sarpi in Venice from 1606 to Sarpi’s death in 1623, wrote 75 letters to William Cavendish, later Earl of Devonshire (1590-1628). The letters were translated into English by the political philosopher Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679), who had been Cavendish’s tutor since 1608, and who on Cavendish’s death continued as tutor to his son William, the third Earl. The older Cavendish, together with Hobbes, met Sarpi and M icanzio in Venice in 1615, and the correspondence began later that year. Only Hobbes’ translations survive. The letters are mainly concerned with political and religious affairs, including the residence in England and the return to Italy of bishop M arco Antonio De Dominis (15601624; see entries in 7319, 7824, and 9718). In 1624 M icanzio became an official advisor to the Venetian Republic. He was a great admirer of Francis Bacon, and worked to have his writings translated and published in Italy. He also corresponded with Galileo concerning the Dialogo, and himself wrote a life of Sarpi, Vita del padre Paolo, which was published in Leyden in 1646, and appeared in English in 1651 (it was not published in Italy until 1658, four years after the death of M icanzio).

[6], v-xiv, [2], 3-283, [3] pp. This study by Phillips includes lengthy excerpts in translation from Parenti’s record book, correspondence, and memoir. Phillips writes: “M arco Parenti [1421-1497] left behind three quite different records of his life: the ricordanze or record book, the correspondence with his exiled in-laws, the Strozzi, and the Memoir itself. The record book is a detailed ledger of family expenses and contains a wealth of information about such matters as dowries, wedding feasts, and construction costs. Here the focus is on the immediate household. The correspondence with the Strozzi, on the other hand, is dominated by the concerns of this once powerful family, exiled from Florence since the initial triumph of the M edici in 1434. The perspective is wider and the subject is often political, but the framework is always the interest of the patrician family. Finally, we have the Memoir itself, a fully public history with only an occasional autobiographical reference. Each of these records is centered in its own sphere of life — the household, the wider family (or lineage), and the public world. But these spheres were never entirely separate. They overlapped or intersected in ways that gave Parenti’s life — and the patriciate’s experience of politics — its particular shape.” In his review of this book for Italica, vol. 67, no. 3 (Autumn, 1990), Theodore J. Cachey writes: “The Memoir of Marco Parenti: A Life in Medici Florence addresses at its most profound level the problem of the relationship between an individual subject and the experience of history at the same time as it addresses the problem of historical writing as a narrative genre. Two epigraphs placed at the front of the book suggestively invoke these theoretical issues. The citation from George Eliot speaks of the ‘commonplace people’ as an irreducible human presence and perspective, while Thomas Carlyle raises the issue of the relation between narrative and action or experience: narrative has only one dimension — it is linear — while action is multidimensional and solid. Phillips’

approach to these two issues is not to theorize about them in abstract terms but rather to respond with his own historiographic practice. His weaving of the diverse narrative threads provided by his sources gives volume and a multidimensionality to his own narrative, and his treatment of ‘a life in Medici Florence’ finally approximates persuasively and represents an individual’s experience of historical density and complexity.” CRRS,KSM ,UTL

Scott (1916: 209) notes: “Ruggle shifted the scene from Naples to Bordeaux, and changed the names of Porta’s characters, adding seven new ones; of the fifty-five scenes of Ignoramus, twenty-one are borrowed from the Italian, sixteen are partial imitations, and eighteen are original.” The comedy is a satire on lawyers.

(Garland library of medieval literature; v. 42. Series A) [6], vii-xl, [1], 2-256, [6] pp.: ill.; facsim. Sordello of Goito (13 th century) was a troubador from the province of M antua. There are reports of him from the 1220s on, and he is thought to have died in Provence in or after 1269. Dante places him in Purgatory among the spirits of those who, though redeemed, were prevented from making a final confession and reconciliation by sudden death. Wilhelm writes: “The poetry of Sordello seems to have been rated more highly by other poets than by critics. Dante, in his De vulgari eloqhuebtia, singles out Sordello as a man who ‘had great eloquence, not only in the writing of poetry, but also in any number of other forms’, by which he must have meant prose works that did not survive. Dante also mentions that Sordello did not find his native M antuan dialect conducive to the writing of great poetry, and so he abandoned it for Provençal.” ERI,LC,UKM

In her review for the Times Literary Supplement, Patricia Rubin comments: “M issing, above all, in Bull’s translations are the richness and variety of the text. Bull has no patience for Vasari’s long paragraphs, it seems, and throughout both volumes paragraph breaks are added, often in the middle of an argument, altering the shape and sense of Vasari’s narrative. And what might seem instances of a limited ‘stock of adjectives’ are often cases of purposeful repetition meant to express critical points about an artist’s work or character. ...

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: The MIT Press, c1988. [8], ix-xxiii, [7], 3-442, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims., plans, port. This is the first English translation based on the original Latin text, as edited by Orlandi in 1966. Anthony Hughes, for the Times Literary Supplement, comments: “The task must have been daunting. Alberti meant to set a new stylistic standard for the treatment of the subject by challenging the linguistic competence of Vitruvius, author of the only architectural treatise to have survived from antiquity ... Rykwert and his team have restored the pleasures of Alberti’s writing for English readers, revealing the work as a learned compendium in which the author surveys, plunders and, in the case of Vitruvius, rebukes his sources. Almost pictorially, Alberti evokes the grain of the material world which is at once the builder’s ally and enemy. On one level, a list of timbers in Book Two is an epic enumeration, equivalent to the Homeric catalogue of ships; on another, it forms a statement concerning the delicate interrelatedness of natural processes. The moon raises sap in trees, it affects the iron of the axe with which timber must be cut at the optimum time. ... As in Orlandi’s text, the illustrations are taken from the beautiful woodcuts which accompanied Bartoli’s Italian version. As this undoubtedly deserves to become the standard English translation, the care which has been taken over its production is particularly satisfying.” Also issued in paper; the translation was in its seventh printing in 1997.

8803 BARGAGLI, Girolamo [La pellegrina (1589)] The female pilgrim (La pellegrina). Girolamo Bargagli; translated, with introduction and notes, by Bruno Ferraro. Ottawa: Dovehouse Editions Canada, 1988. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation; [12]) [7], 8-154, [6] pp. Girolamo Bargagli (1537-1586) was born in Siena. He completed his legal studies, and lectured at the University of Siena in 1563-4, and held judicial positions in Florence and Genoa, where he was, briefly, Chief M agistrate. He had entered the Accademia degli Intronati at the age of twenty, with the pseudonym Materiale, and wrote sonnets and madrigals, and a prose work, Dialogo de’ giuochi (1572, probably composed 1563-4) in which he regrets the lapse of traditions of the academy, and reflects on the influence of the CounterReformation. La Pellegrina was written some time between 1564 and 1568, but was only produced in 1589, after his early death, on the occasion of the marriage of Ferdinando I de’ M edici and Cristiana di Lorena. In his introduction to this translation, Ferraro writes: “With La Pellegrina Bargagli, Materiale Intronato, seems to develop further on stage material that he had begun in the Dialogo; the play provides, through some of its characters, a continuation of the Dialogo with its civil conversation among intellectuals. Bargagli writes a comedy of sentiments and manners in which the scenes dealing with love, honour, faith, loyalty and obedience testify to the theatrical taste of the times ... and to a morality which could exist only in a period of religious and political stability.” The plot deals with the problems of two couples, each secretly married but separated by circumstances, and their progress towards reconciliation and reunion.

social or even informational.

Turandot (1762), and La donna serpente (1762). Carlo Gozzi (1720-1806) was a Venetian aristocrat, dramatist, and memorialist. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes that he participated in the foundation of the Accademia degli Granelleschi (1747), and continues: “He soon became that academy’s foremost conservative voice in opposing various Enlightenment ideas and, most notably, the theatrical reforms of Venice’s most famous dramatist, Carlo Goldoni. Rejecting Goldoni’s realistic vision of contemporary Venetian society and his desire to modify the traditional commedia dell’arte, Gozzi proposed instead a theatre of fantasy and imagination. In response to a challenge from Goldoni, Gozzi set out to prove that the fickle Venetian theatre audience would desert Goldoni’s bourgeois realism for dramatized fairy tales in the style of commedia dell’arte.” (1979: 257-8) Gozzi’s plays were great public successes between 1761 and 1765, but the public eventually tired of Gozzi’s fiabe, just as it had briefly turned away from Goldoni’s theatre.

8828 LOMBROSO, Cesare [Sull’ipnotismo (1886)] After death — what?: researches into hypnotic and spiritualistic phenomena. Cesare Lombroso; rendered into English by William Sloane Kennedy; introduction by Colin Wilson. Wellingborough; Northamptonshire, England: Aquarian Press; [New York, N.Y.: distributed by Sterling Pub. Co.], 1988. (The Colin Wilson library of the paranormal; v. 4) [5], vi-xxii, [2], 1-364, [2] pp., [30] leaves of plates: ill.: diagrams, ports., tables. This translation was first published in London by T. Fisher Unwin and in Boston by Small, M aynard in 1909. Lombroso is best known as a criminologist and anthropologist (see 5821, 7239, etc.). Colin Wilson notes that: “In July 1888 he wrote an article in which he ridiculed the claims of Spiritualism, as a result of which he was invited to attend sittings with the medium Eusapia Paladini in Naples. Afterwards, Lombroso wrote: ‘I am ashamed and grieved at having opposed with so much tenacity the possibility of the so-called spiritistic facts ...’ From then on Lombroso began his own experiments into thought transference, poltergeists, and other paranormal phenomena. His greatest contribution to psychical research, After Death — What?, is a lucid account of mediumship and its implications. It remains an inspiring and readable portrayal of the evidence for survival after death.” LC,OCLC,Vancouver

It selects an object of narration, Florence; it describes a particular period, from the origins of the city to the death of Lorenzo de’ M edici in 1492; and it presents a problem or theme, the causes

Bibliography 1988 of the remarkable hatreds and divisions within Florence. But it is not a history of Florence in the sense we are accustomed to, which requires that Florence have or have had a history. M achiavelli does not use the word istoria to refer to an object of study; he uses it to mean only the study itself. ... Besides the uncertainty as to whether his work is history or political science, and in addition to the concentration on politics, M achiavelli shares with humanist historians the device of inventing speeches. Even though he was not present and could not have been present, he puts appropriate speeches into the mouths of actual historical figures as if they were characters in a play of his.” Also issued in paper in 1990.

M aurice Cranston reviewed this book, and several other Cambridge texts in the history of political thought, for the Times Literary Supplement. He wrote: “Russell Price’s translation of M achiavelli’s The Prince is wholly new, and the editorial apparatus, contributed by Quentin Skinner, as complete as one could wish. There will never be an uncontroversial translation of Il Principe, but Price gets closer to the original than any other English version, and he explains in his very full notes the problems that all translators of M achiavelli must confront, notably in dealing with such key words as virtù, stato, fortuna, ordine and libertà. One of the reasons why M achiavelli is so difficult to translate is that he is such a stylistic writer. We are told that he always put on his best clothes before he sat down to work at his desk, and one can well believe that he did, for he is

611 so elegant, and ceremonious, while allowing himself the utmost freedom in the play of words. Many of the words were ambiguous in general use, but he seems to have been more eager to exploit that ambiguity than to clarify his own use of them.” Also issued in paper; there had been 12 printings by 2000.

positions of love-making, consistently called ‘postures’ in the literature on this creation, which were subsequently engraved by M arcantonio Raimondi. When these prints began to circulate among the higher echelons of Roman society, the outraged Pope Clement VII moved to eliminate every trace of them. He ordered that the first edition of the prints be burned. The engraver was thrown into prison. Distribution was prohibited, and death became the price for reprinting it. Despite these dangers, a second edition, embellished by sixteen piquant sonnets written by Pietro Aretino, was produced. ... The repressive powers of individuals and institutions throughout the centuries has been such that no early editions beside the rare one presented here exist.” In her translation of the sonnets, Lawner leaves most of the sexual terms in Italian, “keeping them from being nothing more than pornographic exercises in a contemporary mode.” CRRS,UKM

Bibliography 1988 8842 OCHINO, Bernardino [I dialoghi sette (1540)] Seven dialogues. Bernardino Ochino; translated, with an introduction and notes, by Rita Belladonna. Ottawa: Dovehouse Editions, Canada,1988. (Translation series / University of Toronto, Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies; 3) [6], vii-xlviii, [2], 1-96, [6] pp. Bernardino Ochino (1487-1564) was a religious reformer. He was born in Siena, and entered the Franciscan order of the Friars Observant at the age of 16 or 17. He studied philosophy, theology, and languages at Capriola, just outside Siena, then obtained a doctorate in medicine at Perugia University. In 1534 Ochino became a Capuchin friar, and thus a member of an order representing ascetic reform. He became noted for his asceticism, making his journeys on foot, sleeping in the open, and restricting himself to one meal a day. By this time he had met Agostino M ainardi, Giulio della Rovere, and Pietro M artire Vermigli, all of whom had Protestant sympathies. Ochino feared prosecution for heresy, and left Italy for Geneva in 1542. He lived in England with his family from 1547 to 1553. With the death of Edward VI and the return of Catholicism he was forced to return to Switzerland, but even there, as an old man, he encountered doctrinal and political difficulties. He moved first to Poland, where three of his sons died of the plague in Pinczow, then to M oravia, where he died in 1564. The Seven Dialogues were written and published before Ochino’s forced exile. Belladonna writes: “By expressing his ideas in the form of an exchange between two characters, Ochino was able to avoid sounding too assertive. In each of the seven dialogues Ochino plays a major role. Ochino invariably depicts himself, or the character representing him, as successfully convincing another character. ... The affirmative spirit that animated these dialogues enables the reader to appreciate the extent to which Ochino was optimistic about man’s potential for self-reform. While there is much in the dialogues that is mystical and ascetic, Ochino does tend to reject the idea of total isolation from the world. On the contrary, there is a constant need in him to interact and to attract followers.” Issued in paper. *,KVU,UTL

It is also a characteristic product of the seventeenth century, full of citations of earlier and contemporary writings on the ever-fascinating subject of the venomous serpent.” Redi (1626-1698) was also a pioneer parasitologist, and published the first treatise on the subject, Osservazioni intorno agli animali viventi che si trovano negli animali viventi, excerpted here, in 1684.

Also, from about 1250 to 1500, there flourished a popular form of art known as the cantare or folkballad. These were narrative poems sung in the city squares about Arthurian and other themes. The compositions, whose music has not survived, were divided into 8-line stanzas (ottava rima) and were frequently rhymed abababcc. Tristan was

always one of the most popular heroes in this tradition. His love affair with Isolde, especially their tragic ending, held a grasp on Italian audiences that Arthur himself could not equal.

8854 THOMAS, Aquinas, Saint [Works. Selections. English and Latin] An Aquinas treasury; religious imagery: selections taken from the writings of St. Thomas Aquinas. Edited and translated by Jules Malachi Brady, S.J., Rockhurst College. Arlington, Texas: Liberal Arts Press, 1988. [1], ii-xi, [1], 135, [5] pp. Latin texts with parallel English translation. Brady writes: “Aquinas’s oft repeated phrase, ‘Teachers in teaching use sensible examples,’ suggests inquiring how St. Thomas himself employed imagery to explain philosophy and theology. An Aquinas Treasury is a collection of passages, culled from the writings of the Angelic Doctor, in each of which the author answers a philosophical or theological question with the aid of an appropriate concrete image. Through this anthology readers unacquainted with the technicalities of Thomistic Philosophy can discover for themselves that Aquinas’s thought has the clarity, harmony and simplicity of a Greek temple.” Issued in paper.

been taken are to split up the lengthy sentences St Thomas sometimes indulges in, and to change the order of clauses within sentences, for the sake of the sense.

8860 THOMAS, of Celano [Works. Selections] St. Francis of Assisi: first and second life of St. Francis with selections from the Treatise on the miracles of blessed Francis. By Thomas of Celano; translated from the Latin with introduction and footnotes by Placid Hermann, O.F.M. Chicago, Illinois: Franciscan Herald Press, c1988. [4], v-liv, [1], 2-405, [5] pp. Placid Hermann writes: “There are many ways of coming to know Francis and his message to the world. But surely, the best way to come to know him is to see him through the eyes of those who knew him when he trod the roads and fields of his native Assisi. That is why it seems opportune at this time to give the world a new translation of a biography of the saint by one who walked with him; one who was familiar with those who first followed the way he set out for them; one, therefore, who knew St. Francis and his ideals as only a contemporary and a friend could know them.” Thomas entered the Franciscan order around 1215. In 1221 he was among the brothers chosen to undertake the founding of the order in Germany. His lives were written around 1229 and 1244, and the Treatise between 1250 and 1253.

Translated from the Latin by L. R. Lind. Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society, 1988. (Memoirs of the American Philosophical Society; v. 182) [10], 3-346, [2] pp.: port. Gabriele Zerbi, or Gabriele de Zerbis (1445-1505) was a physician, anatomist, and medical philosopher. His Gerontocomia is recognized as the first printed book on geriatrics, and his De cautelis medicorum is an early book on medical ethics. He also published one of the most accurate anatomical texts before Vesalius, Liber anathomie corporis humanae (1502), and through him the discipline became the basis of modern medicine. He was, in particular, an expert on the anatomy of the kidneys and bladder. His first published work was Questionum metaphysicarum (1482). He was

617 professor of philosophy in Padua at the age of 22, and moved to Bologna where he became professor of medicine and philosophy. He spent the final ten years of his academic career in Padua. Zerbi was murdered in Bosnia by the sons of Skander Pasha, chief minister to the Sultan, for the gold and gems with which Skander had rewarded him for a cure. Concerning the Gerontocomia, Lind writes: “While much of [Zerbi’s] book may sound strange to modern readers, they must realize that he represents the current attitudes and conventions of his time in scholarship, and could scarcely be expected to deviate widely from prevailing views. Yet in what amounts to a highly sensitive and sympathetic understanding of the problems, maladies, and sufferings of the aged, he represents a unique approach to his purpose: to relieve the aged physically, mentally (his words on amusements and recreations for the old people are particularly perceptive and timely in view of the modern psychological approach), and spiritually ... . His work is indeed the first enlightened manual for the use of those who manage rest homes and as such well worth reading by all who are interested in this aspect of their eventual experience.” LC,PIMS,UTL

8901 ALBERTINI, Ippolito Francesco [Works. Selections] Clinical consultations and letters by Ippolito Francesco Albertini, Francesco Torti, and other physicians, University of Bologna MS 2089-1. Translated and annotated with an introductory analysis by Saul Jarcho. Boston: published by The Francis A. Countway Library of Medicine; Canton, Massachusetts: sole distributor, Science History Publications, 1989. [10], ix-lxix, [4], 2-356, [6] pp., [4] pp. of plates: ill.; facsims., port. Among the correspondents of Albertini (1662-1738) was Francesco Torti (1658-1741, see 2000), an early researcher into the use of the bark of the tree cinchona (which contains quinine) as a therapy for malaria. Concerning Albertini, Jarcho has written: “At the University of Bologna he studied under his kinsman, M arcello M alpighi [see 1956, 1966, 1975, etc.]. He received his doctoral degree in 1689. He then assisted M alpighi in medical practice, taking his place when the older man became archiator [chief physician] to Pope Innocent XII in 1691. Albertini taught logic at Bologna from 1699 to 1701 and practical medicine until his death in 1738. His essay De Cortice Peruviano[on quinine bark] was published in Bologna in 1748.” (Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, vol. 116, no. 2, April 1972, p. 163). Albertini was commended as a clinician of extraordinary ability by his teacher Giambattista M orgagni (1682-1771, see 1960, 1984, etc.). Jarcho comments: “And like many of the best clinicians of all subsequent decades until the very recent past, he owed his virtuosity to a native gift, probably amplified by reading but certainly strengthened by observations made in the autopsy room.” LC,NLM,UTL

Giacomo Castelvetro; translated with an introduction by Gillian Riley; foreword by Jane Grigson. London, England; New York, N.Y., USA: Viking; [London]: British Museum, Natural History, 1989. [6], 7-175, [1] pp.: ill. (some col.). Castelvetro (1546-1616) made his career as a writer and teacher of Italian. He was born in M odena to a wealthy banker father, and his mother was from a noble family. He held protestant opinions, and at the age of eighteen was smuggled out of M odena to join his uncle Lodovico Castelvetro (1505-1571), philosopher, humanist critic, and heretic, in Geneva. For seven years he studied with his uncle, moving with him to Lyon, Basel, Vienna, and Chiavenna. A few years after his uncle’s death, Giacomo moved to England where eventually, in 1592, he became Italian tutor to James VI of Scotland and Queen Anne. In 1599 he settled in Venice, where he worked as an editor, and was closely connected with the English embassy. His brother Lelio was burned at the stake as a relapsed heretic in 1609, and Castelvetro himself was imprisoned by the Inquisition in 1611. He was released through the intervention of the English ambassador, and returned to England in 1613, where he died, impoverished and ill, in 1616 (Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, 2004). The introduction to this translation notes: “Castelvetro wrote his book on fruit and vegetables in an attempt to persuade the English to improve their diet by eating less meat and more fruit and vegetables. He gently criticizes us for eating too many sweet things and over-rich dishes, and for not making a more imaginative use of the plants and vegetables introduced from abroad, like artichokes and aubergines. Careful to avoid a dogmatic or hectoring tone, Castelvetro sets about our conversion with a seductive account of the fruit and vegetables of his beloved homeland, describing them as they come into season, from the delights of asparagus in the spring to the comforts of chestnut and cabbage stew in winter.” Unfortunately Lucy, his dedicatee (who was sister to John Harington, the translator of Ariosto), fell on hard times, and was not able to give him the work or the financial assistance that he needed. The editor comments: “Lucy spoke and wrote fluent Italian and it would have been inappropriate for Castelvetro to have addressed her in any other language. He was respected as an authority on the literature and grammar of his native tongue and Lucy would have appreciated the deceptive simplicity of the

style of [his book].” The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography notes: “During his lifetime Castevetro achieved only limited recognition, but after John Florio, the first recorded teacher of Italian at Oxford, he was the most important promoter of his native tongue and national heritage in England at this period.” CRRS,LC,OCLC

Ursula Brett. New York; London: Garland Publishing, 1989. (Outstanding dissertations in music from British universities) 2 v. ([5], 4-490, [2]; [4], 491-821, [1] pp.): music. This study, originally presented as Brett’s thesis for Goldsmith’s College, includes an annotated translation of Cazzati’s Risposta. She states: “The translation of Cazzati’s Risposta, and other short extracts, is not literal, but sets out to convey the meaning of the original text as closely as possible.”, and: “This thesis is concerned with the various theoretical opinions expressed by a number of mid-seventeenth-century Bolognese musicians during the time of change from the old modal system to the new diatonic scale system. The three main figures in the polemic under consideration here are Don Lorenzo Perti, Giulio Cesare Arresti, and Don M aurizio Cazzati. Perti is a supporter of the stile antico, the prima prattica, and Cazzati of the stile moderno, the seconda prattica. Arresti, however, treads a path in between these two extremes, and since he was a wellrespected member of Bolognese musical society, it is his ideas which are given particular consideration, for they are probably

representative of the mainstream Bolognese musical opinion of the time.” LC,M USI,SCC

He was known for his improvised counterpoint, and ornamentation. David Nutter, in Grove Music Online, states: “The Breve et facile maniera d’essercitarsi ... is designed to teach the beginner the art of ornamentation quickly and easily. Conforti claimed that following his method mastery could be achieved in the space of several months. ... Though primarily a singer’s manual, it could also benefit instrumentalists.” (Accessed 6/1/2007) See also 1999, 2001. Brock,OCLC

delle nuove isole di Channaria indiane), 1493. Giuliano Dati; translation, introduction and notes by Theodore J. Cachey, Jr.; Italian text and notes by Luciano Formisano. Chicago: The Hermon Dunlap Smith Center for the History of Cartography, Newberry Library, c1989. [2], i-viii, [1], 1-43, [2] pp. This edition was produced as part of the Columbus Quincentennial Program in Transatlantic Encounters at the Newberry Library. It would later be included in Volume XII of the Repertorium Columbianum, Italian sources for the New World encounter (1492-1521), published in 2002. The source is an originally untitled Italian poetic translation of the “Columbus letter to Santangel” (Feb. 18, 1493). A second edition of the poem was published with the title La lettera dell’isole che ha trovato nuovamente il re di Spagna (see 1991). Thus, as Cachey notes, the poem “represents the earliest European literary response to the Discovery.” At head of title: A selection from the Repertorium Columbianum.

8925 FAÀ GONZAGA, Camilla [“Storia di donna Camilla Faa di Bruno Gonzaga” (1895)] The Italian memorialist Camilla Faà Gonzaga. Valeria Finucci, in Women writers of the seventeenth century. Edited by Katharina M. Wilson and Frank J. Warnke. Athens; London: The University of Georgia Press, c1989, pp. [121]-137. Faà Gonzaga wrote her brief memoir in 1622. It has been noted as possibly the first female autobiography in Italy. Camilla was a lady-in-waiting at the M antuan court. Duke Ferdinando Gonzaga fell in love with her and married her in 1616, but repudiated her in 1617 in order to make a politicallyadvantageous marriage with his niece Caterina de’ M edici. Finucci writes: “Caterina convinced the duke— by all accounts an eternally indecisive man— to force a choice on his former wife: marry a courtier, or embrace a life in the cloister.” After five years Camilla, exiled to Ferrara, chose the cloister. She wrote her memoir at the request of her mother superior, Sister Bradamante Brasavola, who, as Finucci writes: “ was curious to know her side of the story after so much slander had circulated in the duchy.” The manuscript, kept in the private archives of the convent, was first printed in 1895 in Rivista di storia, arte, archeologia della provincia di Alessandria. Camilla’s memoir is the only Italian contribution in the collection Women Writers of the Seventeenth Century. Also issued in paper. LC,UTL

Studies in conjunction with The Renaissance Society of America, 1989. (Medieval & Renaissance texts & studies; vol. 57) [11], xii-xiv, [3], 4-507, [5] pp.: ill. The editors summarize the work thus: “De vita libri tres rightly announces itself as the first treatise on how to be an intellectual and still keep your health. In Book 1, De vita sana, Ficino starts by defending the melancholic humor black bile as the physical basis for that madness which is genius. ... Ficino devotes his second book, De vita longa, to how to live a long and healthy life. In both of these books, psychology mingles with prescriptions, and hygiene with pharmacology, while astrology comes in only incidentally. Book 3, De vita coelitus comparanda, occupying the last half of the work, is both more philosophical and more occult. Ficino forgets about black bile, though still reverting occasionally to prescriptions. Instead he elaborates those ‘celestial causes’ mentioned in 1.4 into an astrology extending to talismans and quasi-religious singing, dancing, and suffumigations, whereby he promises to put both the Magus and his patient in touch with their personal stars and the Anima M undi.” See also entry 8023, for another translation.

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

Helen Lanneau Eaker, Benjamin G. Kohl. Binghamton, New York: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, in conjunction with the Renaissance Society of America, 1989. (Medieval & Renaissance texts & studies; v. 59; Renaissance texts series; v. 12) [9], viii, [5], 2-189, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims. This early work by Giovanni da Ravenna (1343-1408) is one of the previously unpublished works of this early Italian humanist. Eaker and Kohl note: “The Dialogus lays claim to our notice for several reasons. It contains the first humanist biography of a major religious figure, in this case, the Franciscan prelate and cardinal, Tommaso da Frignano; it includes a psychological portrait of the author and rare insight into the daily emotional and professional concerns of a younger humanist in the last quarter of the Trecento; it demonstrates the enormous debt to Petrarch and the lesser one to Boccaccio of an Italian intellectual of the next generation for both ideas and themes; and it shows Petrarch and Boccaccio as cultural heroes who stirred men of Conversini’s talents to advance in the world through a career in letters. ... M ost significantly, it shows the close affinities between early humanism and the more rigorous traditions of the Franciscan movement, with its praise of peace, simplicity, and love.” For a note on Conversini, see entry 8027; for other works by him, see entry 8723.

8935 GUARINI, Battista [Il pastor fido (1590)] The faithful shepherd: a translation of Battista Guarini’s Il pastor fido. By Dr. Thomas Sheridan; edited and completed by Robert Hogan and Edward A. Nickerson. Newark: University of Delaware Press; London; Toronto: Associated University Presses, c1989. [18], 21-193, [1] pp.: facsim., port. The Irishman Thomas Sheridan (1687-1738) was a friend and collaborator of Jonathan Swift, and the grandfather of

Richard Brinsley Sheridan. He was by profession a schoolmaster, and was a poet and classicist. His translation of Il pastor fido, made probably in the early 1730s, survived as a manuscript in the Dublin Central Library. A missing section has been supplied by the editors, “in what they hope is a fair approximation of Dr. Sheridan’s style.” The editors also write: “There are perhaps two chief differences between the Fanshawe [1647] and Sheridan versions. Fanshawe appears to us often to settle only for an approximation of the sense to fit the content into his rigid, albeit excellent, heroic couplets; further, he reduces Guarini’s admittedly extraordinary length by about a fifth. In contrast, Sheridan’s use of blank verse for ordinary dialogue and of various forms of rhymed verse for the songs is more faithful to Guarini’s original form, and his translation more closely approximates Guarini’s length. Also, as in Sheridan’s other translations, there is a clarity, ease, and suppleness of style that makes his rendering more modern than Fanshawe’s and, to our mind, that also retains more of the original’s charm.” For Fanshawe’s translation, see entry 6334.

In her review for Notes, Sarah Fuller writes: “Although brief in length ... the Tractatus figurarum is a central document for the study of rhythmic and notational issues in late fourteenth-century Franco-Italian discourse. ... scholars can now consult the work in Philip Schreur’s capable critical edition and translation, which is based on the fourteeen extant manuscripts and includes, as an appendix, an extra set of examples ... The translation is quite literal and reads well.” (v. 48, no. 2 (December 1991), pp. 473-475) Schreur writes: “In the light of inconclusive evidence, we must leave the Tractatus figurarum as yet another anonymous medieval treatise. At best, we can say that it was most likely written by an Italian trained in the French style in the third quarter of the fourteenth century. The composer Philippus de Caserta would be an ideal candidate for authorship based on these criteria, yet the notation of his extant compositions contradicts this possibility.” The work has also been attributed to Egidius de M urino, author of De modo componendi.

Philadelphia: American Philosophical Society, 1990. (Transactions of the American Philosophical Society; vol. 80, pt. 4) i-xxv, [2], 2-164 pp.: ill. Jacopo Barigazzi, known as Berengario da Carpi, was born in Carpi, a small town between M odena and Mantova, around 1460. Carpi’s most famous citizen attained his doctorate in medicine at Bologna in 1489. He was elected to the chair of surgery there in 1502, and to the chair of medicine in 1505 — an unusual achievement for a ‘foreigner’ at that time. He published extensively, and his works include the Commentary on Mundinus (1521), and Isagogae breves (1523; for a translation, see entry 5901), a short introduction to anatomy. He also edited several works of Galen (1529). He reportedly grew rich from the treatment of syphilis with guaiac and mercury ointment, and edited Ulrich von Hutten’s book on the disease in 1521. His book on skull fractures, published shortly after he had treated Lorenzo de’ M edici for an occipital fracture (as recorded in his book, which was dedicated to Lorenzo), was, according to Lind “certainly the most important work on cranio-cerebral surgery of the early sixteenth century,” despite Beregario’s dependence on earlier authority. Lind writes: “Berengario is not free from the mind-set and reverence toward authority, although he occasionally asserts his independence of view and urges his readers and students to follow him in what may be called an elementary form of research. The method of modern science in gathering data based upon observed facts, weighing and measuring them in the laboratory, and subjecting the conclusions drawn from them to rigorous experiment was far beyond him in 1518 when he was planning and writing his book on skull fracture.” His probable year of death was 1530.

9006 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [Elegia di madonna Fiammetta (1343-44)] The elegy of Lady Fiammetta. Giovanni Boccaccio; edited and translated by Mariangela CausaSteindler and Thomas Mauch; with an introduction by Mariangela Causa-Steindler. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 1990. [6], vii-xxvi, 1-182 pp. The editors write: “In making this present translation it has been our hope to give as literal and faithful an equivalent of Boccaccio’s complex and intricate style as is possible in modern American English. In this spirit we have avoided the practice of some previous English translators of Boccaccio of introducing archaisms into the language in a misguided attempt to give the translation a medieval fragrance. The original language of the Elegia is unmistakably a contemporary fourteenth-century Italian, and archaisms have no business being in a translation of that language. We also have nearly always resisted the temptation of cutting up Boccaccio’s characteristically lengthy and involuted sentences into a sequence of shorter ones which today’s reader might have found more manageable. After all, it is through that complex sentence structure that Boccaccio explores the full possibilities of the medieval rhetorical tradition and introduces a wealth of word play and ambiguity.” The Elegia was popular in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, and more than seventy manuscripts are known.

New York; London: Garland Publishing, 1990. (Garland library of medieval literature; v. 40. Series B) [4], xi-lxii, [10], 3-97, [9] pp.: ill.; ports. This translation was originally presented as a Ph.D. thesis for Rutgers University in 1989. It is claimed to be the first complete translation, and follows Pier Giorgio Ricci’s Italian edition (Verona: M ondadori, 1965). Concerning Boccaccio’s biography and literary portrait of Dante, Zin Bollettino writes: “Boccaccio’s descriptions of Dante’s facial features are brief, concise, and dramatic. Every little detail of Dante’s physical aspect is fused with the use of the chiaroscuro designed to paint the inward and outward character in the sketch. Boccaccio’s concern is not only to describe vividly Dante’s countenance but also to reveal through the physical description those traits that

would be characteristic of the person’s stature in society, and as a poet and thinker. Boccaccio’s description of Dante constitutes the only trustworthy portrayal of the Florentine poet.” OCLC,UTL

She writes: “As an affirmation of the autonomy and potential dignity of a national vernacular, De vulgari eloquentia is the antecedent of all ‘defenses and illustrations’ of national languages. It is the first work of literary criticism dealing with such a language; it contains the first extended discussion of Romance metric and poetic forms; it is the first to mention the sonnet. From the standpoint of intellectual investigation, it dares to attempt the integration of disciplines that had become neatly separated in the course of the late M iddle Ages — grammar having been split between the study of authors and the elaboration of systematic theories of languages.” KVU,M ichigan,UTL

Bull. London [etc.]: Hutchinson, 1990 [6], vii-xix, [3], 3-303, [3] pp., [17] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., ports. Della Valle wrote 54 long letters during his travels— more than a million words in total— from which Bull has selected and edited 22 letters for translation, abridging the text to around 120,000 words. Unlike The Travels of Pietro Della Valle in India, a translation first published in 1664, edited for the Hakluyt Society in 1891, and reprinted by Burt Franklin in 1973, Bull draws on all three parts of the travels, in Turkey, Persia, and India. His translation is based on the Viaggi di Pietro della Valle Il Pellegrino descritti da lui medesimo, printed in two volumes in Turin and published by the bookseller G. Gancia in Brighton in 1843. Bull writes: “Della Valle’s narrative and descriptive skills were excellent, his observation of contemporary politics and military affairs was vivid and penetrating. But he was writing letters and keeping a diary, not producing polished work. ... His uniqueness and intelligence shone through, even when the letters (as they tend to be from India) are left in succinct, diary form. The Travels in general have the pace, drama and subtleties, the shifts of scene and mood, of a great play or novel; the word-play to match; and a hero whose typical Italian strengths and weaknesses of character and style make him not the least interesting figure on the world stage which he depicts. With the gift of immediate intimacy, he formed friendships with a remarkable degree of indifference, but not blindness, to colour, caste and religion. He had the purse and panache of a well-to-do gentleman, but he was also a genuine scholar, insistent on learning as much as he could of the literature and languages of the countries he visited.” For another note on Della Valle see entry 6722.

Also, it is clear that the various editions of his poetry contain printing errors, some of which I have taken the liberty of correcting when the misprint seemed obvious. ... my translations of some difficult passages remain conjectural, even after consultation with specialists; and in some instances the Italian meaning is rather paraphrased than precisely construed.

M arco M arazzoli (ca. 16051662) was born in Parma, but spent the greater part of his professional career in Rome, employed by the influential Barberini family, in particular Cardinal Antonio Barberini (1607-1671). Barberini placed him in the Sistine Chapel choir, where he retained a permanent post as tenor from M arch 1640 until his death. A prolific composer of cantatas, between 1637 and 1656 he set five dramas for the Barberini. M argaret M urata, in Grove Music Online, commets: “M arazzoli set more operas than Stefano Landi or Luigi Rossi. Yet despite the quantity of his surviving works, a comprehensive assessment of his musical personality is lacking. Not an outstanding melodist, contrapuntist or harmonist, M arazzoli can be credited with mere facility, perhaps on the basis of his presumed skills in instrumental improvisation. But this judgment underrates the vivacity and validity of his most satisfactory work, especially his duets or what may be termed vocal trio sonatas.” OCLC

Toronto: Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies, 1990. (Studies and texts; 100) [9], x, [3], 4-114 pp. Zacour writes: “I began this study with two things in mind: to emphasize the importance of a neglected class of historical source, the consilium, a type of document that can throw much light on links between legal theory and legal practice in the later M iddle Ages; and to examine certain such consilia touching on Jew and M uslims in Christian lands. The consilia in question were written in the early decades of the fourteenth century by Oldradus de Ponte (d. 1337?), an advocate in the papal court of Avignon, and brought together in a collection of some 333 items. Of these, eight dealt with a variety of matters relevant to the study of Jews and M uslims in the West: the conversion of a Jew to Islam; enquiries of the Inquisitor of Crete about Jewish converts who had returned to Judaism; questions about the legitimacy of war against Saracens in Spain; the expulsion of Jews and Saracensl whether it was licit to use the help of ‘infidels’ in one’s own defence; the trial in Avignon of a Jew who had had sexual relations with a Christian woman; whether Jews and Saracens should pay tithes to the Christian church, and so on. Oldradus’ collection of consilia is one of the earliest that we have. The many extant manuscript copies and printed editions of the work from the fourteenth century down to the seventeenth prove how popular and important it was.” Issued in paper. LC,KSM ,UTL

9051 The Order of Santo Stefano in the Levant: an unpublished account of a voyage in 1627. By Ilona Klein and Christopher Kleinhenz, in Viator, v. 21 (1990), pp. [323]-347. A transcription and translation of the unpublished manuscript held in the Department of Rare Books and Special Collections in M emorial Library at the University of WisconsinM adison: Viaggio fatto in Levante dalle 6 Galere dell’ Ill.ma Sacra Relig.ne di s. o. Stefano del ser.mo Granduca di Toscana q. o. Anno 1627 sotto la Carica dell Ill.mo Sig. Giulio Barbolani de’ Conti di Montauto Gent. A journey to the Levant of the 6 Galleys of the most illustrious and holy Order of Santo Stefano, which belong to the most serene Grand Duke of Tuscany, in this year 1627, under the command of the most illustrious Lord Giulio Barbolani de’ Conti di M ontauto, Gentleman. The editors write: “The records of voyages in this period vary, from short, concise lists of names and places to extended narratives of expeditions undertaken. Our document presents more than a simple, abbreviated summary of the itinerary and major events; indeed, it provides a fully developed story which conveys to the modern reader the numerous hardships, dangers,

Bibliography 1990 and adventures of sea voyages in the early modern period. M oreover, it offers what appears to be an eyewitness account of several naval battles, as well as a secondhand account of a miracle which took place in Constantinople. There are, in this text, elements of potential interest to readers in many fields: for example, to historians, for the political composition of the area, martial activities, and number and types of vessels employed in the Mediterranean, commodities traded, and daily activities of the crew; to geographers, for the placenames and navigation routes; to linguists, for information on seventeenth-century syntax, grammar, and vocabulary, including specific nautical terms and loan words; to students of literature, for the various narrative techniques employed in the text; and to hagiographers, for the account of the miracle of the Virgin M ary.” A rather large responsibility for a text contained on one folded sheet of paper.

Series II, Romance languages and literature; vol. 127) [11], 2-223, [3] pp.: facsim. Pius’s epistle, written around 1460, was intended: “to persuade M ohammed II, who had conquered Constantinople in 1453, not to press his attack on the West and to persuade him of the benefits of converting to Christianity. The epistle is an eloquent presentation of humanistic values and an interesting document of contemporary occidental attitudes towards Islam and the M oslem religion.” (publisher’s note) Baca writes: “It is unknown whether M ohammed II ever received Pius’ epistle ... . Not receiving a response to his epistle, Pius II devoted the vigor which still remained to him in a

641 strenuous effort to mount the crusade he had earlier [1459] called for. Plagued with ill-health and exhausted by the dissensions among the European leaders, Pius live only long enough to travel to Ancona where the forces of the crusade were to assemble. There he died, September, 1468 ... . Upon receiving word that the Pope was dead, the crusade disbanded. Europe was never again to attempt to mount another one.” See also Baca’s translation of a selection of Pius’s letters (entry 6986). LC,M AS

It is an exemplary study of the relations between different levels and centers of power in a complex society, with lessons just as relevant for students of the twentieth-century world as for those of the Renaissance.” Ottavia Nicoli is Associate Professor of Early M odern History at the University of Bologna.

For us it provides a key to the way that Neapolitans and foreigners regarded Naples. It tells us what they considered important, beautiful, and noteworthy. ...

New York: Willis, Locker & Owens, c1991. [7], vi-xlviii, [3], 4-377, [5] pp.: ill.; facsims. The editor and translator write: “De Imaginum ... Compositione is ... midway, intermedial as it were, between philosophy and work of art. As we read it, we not only discover the philosopher, the scientist and the believer, but we encounter the man speaking to us in his own voice, complete with feelings. Sometimes ... he rages, at another moment ... he sings us love songs, or perhaps ... he will play word or number games for our amusement. In Book Two he creates, in word and image, a vast portrait of the Olympians and their friends, with dazzling and sometimes horrifying vividness ... . Even if one rejects the work as philosophy, has no particular interest in history or even the slightest interest in Bruno’s religion, the work can still be appreciated as a work of art that achieves a measurable awareness and heightening of the purposes and methods of mental and spiritual development.” Charles Doria (b. 1938) is a poet and anthologist. Dick Higgins (b. 1938) is a visual artist and book designer, a performance artist who co-founded Happenings and Fluxus, and a prolific author. LC,UTL

9112 A correspondence of Renaissance musicians. Edited by Bonnie J. Blackburn, Edward E. Lowinsky, Clement A. Miller. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991. [8], ix-xliv, [2], 3-1067, [9] pp.: ill.; facsims., music. The editors write: “The Spataro correspondence, so called after its main author, the Bolognese music theorist Giovanni Spataro, is a precious and unique historic document. Altogether it comprises 110 letters, written between 1517 and 1543, of fifteen correspondents. ... These letters, mostly written without publication in mind, throw into relief the burning musical questions of the day, mingling the profound with the trivial, the pure love of knowledge with petty criticism. In them we find subjects never touched upon in formal treatises, precious observations on musical practice, and reactions to new musical directions. The correspondence has its human side as well. The personalities of Giovanni del Lago, Pietro Aaron, and especially Giovanni Spataro are indelibly etched in their letters; the kaleidoscopic changes in their relationships, their pithy observations of each other’s character, their triumphs, their failures stand forth in a way no treatise could reveal.” In addition to the letters by Spataro (1458 or 9-1541), Aaron (ca. 1480-ca. 1550), and Del Lago (ca. 1490-after 1543), the correspondents include Paolo de Laurino, and Lorenzo Gazio (hardly known outside the Correspondence).

Bibliography 1991 Spagna (1493). English and Italian] Columbus in Italy: an Italian versification of the letter on the discovery of the New World, with facsimiles of the Italian and Latin editions of 1493. Introduced and translated by Martin Davies. London: The British Library, 1991. [6], 7-56 pp.: ill.; facsims. (chiefly col.). Includes a facsimile and the English translation of the Columbus letter to Santangel (Feb. 18, 1493). In his introduction, Davies writes: “Few publicity coups have been so well staged as that which greeted the return of Christopher Columbus from the New World in 1493. With an efficiency and power scarcely conceivable in the purely manuscript age from which Europe had just emerged, news of the discovery spread beyond Spain and reached the great towns of the Continent in the space of a few months. Rome, Paris, Antwerp and Basel all had their own Latin editions of the letter in which Columbus advertised his triumph. ... Italy had a further contribution to make to this fanfare in the person of the Florentine priest Giuliano Dati [1445-1524] and his Italian versification of the report, the Lettera delle isole nuovamente trovate. These ‘newly found islands’ struck a popular chord and Dati provided a truly popular response, which soon swept the field in the Italian towns.” Issued in paper. CRRS,LC,UTL

Grassi is now thought to be the author of a document

Galileo is cleared by the Inquisition in 1625; he was less fortunate in 1633 with the examination of his Dialogue, and remained under house arrest in Arcetri for the remainder of his life. OCLC

University Park, Pennsylvania: The Pennsylvania State University Press, c1991. [9], x-xi, [4], 2-192, [2] pp.: port. Thiem notes: “Though renowned as a Renaissance ruler and patron, Lorenzo is hardly known at all in the English-speaking world as a major Quattrocento poet whose literary works run to over five hundred pages. ... They reveal ... the largely unknown private side of the public figure. In his humorous sketches of Florentine life we discover his fascination with the foibles of his fellow citizens, his predilection for slapstick comedy, and the enjoyment he got in the good-natured teasing of his friends. Almost everywhere we encounter Lorenzo’s love of the outdoors, his delight in the beauty of the Tuscan countryside and in the many pleasures it offered, from falcon hunting and swimming to observing the habits of shepherds, foxes, and owls, and lying sprawled among the wildflowers in a favorite glade. We share his pride, and his weariness, in being Florence’s leading citizen. We get to know the distinctive character of his humanism when he refashions classical myth into a characteristically Tuscan shape. And we are alternately shocked

and delighted at the wide range of his sensibility, which moves easily and quickly from popular slang to philosophical discourse, from ribaldry to Neoplatonic mysticism.” LC,NYP,UTL

The publisher states that this is: “the only available bilingual edition of the more than three hundred sonnets, madrigals, and other poems produced by Michelangelo over his long career.” There are 302 poems and 41 fragments. In his introduction, Saslow writes: “Despite his best efforts, M ichelangelo was not a polished stylist, nor indeed was he particularly interested in sophisticated matters of poetic form. His interest was first and foremost in self-expression, in itself a sign of the new, individualist consciousness of the Renaissance era, which M ichelangelo exemplified and promoted and which in turn made it possible for him to be a protomodern celebrity during his lifetime. ...Although M ichelangelo’s poems are inspired by deeply personal experience, they are not mere transcriptions of experience; the relation between his life and art, while profound, is rarely direct or simple. The goal of the present translation is to provide for those who wish to explore that relationship three elements necessary to such an understanding: a clear and faithful rendering of M ichelangelo’s

Rome ... was published in 1554 together with a companion volume entitled L’Antichità di Roma. Both books were unabashedly popularizing in character. They were directed to the general public, visitors to Rome who had little or no knowledge of the city and its history. In the light of Palladio’s fascination with the building practices of ancient Rome, it seems natural that he should have undertaken a guidebook to the antiquities. Not surprisingly it met with great success and numerous editions were issued between 1554 and 1711, all prominently bearing the author’s name. His book on the churches, to the contrary, was never reprinted nor was the original text ever translated from the sixteenth-century Italian.” Later versions of the text, under the title Le cose maravigliose dell’alma città di Roma, were issued as the work of an anonymous author.

The translators write: “Having presented a history of philosophical development in the field of epistemology, and offered his own theory of knowledge in which the ‘light of being’ forms the central core of understanding, he draws a number of corollaries in Certainty about outstanding features of the human intellect and will. First among these corollaries is that certainty is ‘a firm and reasonable persuasion that conforms to the truth.’ ... a second corollary concludes that error, as it exists formally in the human spirit, is not essentially an act of the intellect, but of will, and therefore avoidable. ... A third corollary shows that the logical principles are not the outcome of empirical understanding, but the most general application of the light of being, truth itself, to the things we understand. ... The great call of Certainty, as a whole and in its parts, is to provoke final surrender to, or rejection of, the ‘light of being’.” Issued in paper. KSM ,KVU,UKM,UTL

Knowlton; introduction by Nancy J. Morris; afterword by Cristina Bacchilega. Honolulu, Hawaii: Hawaiian Historical Society, 1991. 144 pp.: ill. Espatriata: da Torino ad Honolulu, was published under the pen-name Mantea. Sobrero (1863-1912) was an accomplished journalist under that byline, and also wrote a popular etiquette book, Le buone usanze (1897), which was reprinted several times in the first decades of the twentieth century. Robert Wilikoki Wilcox was a Hawaiian from a chiefly line, and an officer in the Italian Army. He was one of the talented young scholars sent abroad by King Kalakaua to study and prepare for leadership of the Hawaiian nation.

9201 ANGHIERA, Pietro Martire d’ [Works. Selections. English and Latin] The discovery of the New World in the writings of Peter Martyr of Anghiera. Edited by Ernesto Lunardi, Elisa Magioncalda, Rosanna Mazzacane; translated into English by Felix Azzola; revised by Luciano F. Farina, the Ohio State University. Roma: Istituto poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato. Libreria dello Stato, c1992 [printed 1995]. (Nuova raccolta colombiana. English edition; 2) [6], 5-507, [5] pp. The Italian edition was published in 1988. The Italian editors selected and translated fifty-two letters form Peter M artyr’s Opus epistolarum which deal with Columbus and the new lands. The collection also includes a selection from the Decades de Orbo Novo which deal specifically with the travels and discoveries of Columbus (I 1-7, III 4). The Latin texts are presented with a parallel English translation. Lunardi writes, in his introduction: “Some writers of his time, especially Spanish, deny the reliability of Peter M artyr, arguing that he could not know the events of the New World because he had never been there. In truth, he took every care to gather as much information as he could, consulting all those who knew the facts through direct experience, in order to give a scrupulous version, without worrying much if his narrative disagreed with the ‘official accounts’ sent to the Court, which were often drawn up full of aggrandizements while revealing very little about the conquistadors’ arbitrary or criminal behavior. ... He was a friend of the Discoverer and witnessed his triumph and defeat. Faced with the ingratitude of the Crown and the slanders of Columbus’s enemies, Peter M artyr withdrew into bitter silence, interrupting for many years his writings on the New World, but continuing to collect all the information that he could obtain. There is a singular identity between him and Columbus: both were Italians who had to look for their road to success outside of their country, not disowning but hiding a bit their origins because they found themselves in a context in which belonging to the Spanish nobility was nearly indispensable as a means of avoiding humiliations. Both had the good fortune of meeting an exceptional person, Queen Isabella the Catholic, who protected and helped them. And both reached greatness only to endure ingratitude, hostility, and slander.” OCLC,UTL

Riche is a good storyteller. Unlike many of his contemporaries he understood the importance of movement in the plot, social motivation, a direct style, and the elimination of tedious moralizing.” Beecher writes: “Insofar as the stories of the Farewell represent an aggregate of Italian sources drawn entirely from Bandello, Straparola, and Giraldi (known in England as Cinthio), we are not surprised that they reflect the characteristic proportions of the novella with regard to plot, density of characterization, and

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: The MIT Press, c1992. [11], ii-xxvii, [6], 4-311, [3] pp.: ill. Concerning his modern adaptation, with modern photographic illustrations, of the Hypnerotomachia (The Strife of Love in a Dream), Pérez-Gómez writes: “The theocentric universe had already been exhausted by the late fifteenth century. Cleverly, the hero of Hypnerotomachia reveals that architectural creation could no longer be directly inspired by the gods through contemplation as a mere liberal art, in the sense of Alberti, nor could it come about as the ars or craft of the medieval mason, acting as the hand of God the Augustinian Architect. The answer lay somewhere in between yet in a different place, where a radically different role for the personal imagination might emerge, one that was ‘no longer’ the Aristotelian-medieval passive function of mimesis, and ‘not yet’ the imagination of the Romantic ‘genius,’ deluded by the possibility of creation ex nihilo.” For a note on Colonna, see entry 6925.

by Joseph Tusiani; introduction and notes by Giuseppe C. Di Scipio. Brooklyn, N.Y.: Legas, c1992.

Di Scipio writes, in his intruduction to the 1999 edition: “The present translation of Dante’s lyric poetry by Joseph Tusiani represents, in my opinion, a milestone. The reader will notice three elements adorning Tusiani’s endeavour: elegance, clarity, musicality, with the added dimension of faithfullness to the original and an acute ear for ‘auscultare. These are indeed the traits of an exceptional translator and poet whose own opus reflects a Dantean spirit. Tusiani is well known not only for his Italian and English poetry, but also for his Latin poetry, ... . His translations of Italian poets are perhaps the most elegant and the most complete. They range from the poets of the Age of Dante and Boccaccio, to the Renaissance, M achiavelli, M ichelangelo, Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered and The Creation of the World, from the Baroque to Alfieri, Pascoli, Marinetti and many others. His latest happy work is the translation of Pulci’s Morgante, published by Indiana University Press in 1998.” CAN,LC

The work recounts two conversations touching on women, beauty, balance, elegance, and style. It enjoyed significant critical success. There were several Italian editions in the sixteenth century and a French translation in 1578. It remains to this day an important document on the aesthetics and culture of sixteenth-century Italy. [It] is set in the form of a Renaissance dialogue in which the author expresses his views on the subject by casting them in the context of a pleasant conversation among a group of friends.” Also issued in paper.

(Boston studies in the philosophy of science; v. 138) [4], v-xxix, [3], 3-239, [13] pp. A companion volume to Wallace’s study Galileo’s Logic of Discovery and Proof (Dordrecht: Kluwer Academic, 1992), and to his edition of the Latin texts (Padua: Antenore, 1988). Wallace links the texts, preserved as M S Gal 27 of the Biblioteca nazionale centrale in Florence, to the time of Galileo’s first teaching post at the University of Pisa. In a review of Wallace’s three works in The Review of Metaphysics in 1994, M ichael W. Tkacz writes: “With the publication of both the Latin text and an accurate English translation of Galileo’s logical treatises, the details of his debt to [the] Aristotelian tradition become quite clear. The first part of his commentary is devoted to ‘foreknowledges and foreknowns’, where he treats of a formulation of the scientific problem and knowledge of the principles of demonstration through definition and division. The second part is concerned with demonstration proper and treats the formulation of a formal demonstration and its various types. This text, then, provides evidence that Galileo’s conception of a science is the same as that of sixteenth-century Aristotelians who, working within the older medieval tradition, developed the demonstrative regressus. ... Thanks to [Wallace’s] work, evidence for the impact of the Posterior Analytics tradition on the Father of Modern Science is now available to historians.” KSM ,LC,UKM

9236 GUIDICCIONI, Lelio [Poems. Selections. English and Latin] Latin poems, Rome 1633 and 1639. Edited with introduction translation and commentary by John Kevin Newman and Frances Stickney Newman. Hildesheim: Weidmann, c1992. [7], viii-ix, [6], 4-278, [2] pp., [2] leaves of plates: ill.; facsims., port. In 1633, Guidiccioni, priest, poet and scholar, was among the many poets greeting the dedication of Bernini’s canopy in St. Peter’s. Guidiccioni returned to this theme six years later, raising the possibility of a new crusade under the leadership of M affeo Barberini, Pope Urban VIII, and of the canopy as a model for one to be erected over the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. The Newmans write: “Guidiccioni published these pieces in two critical years. In 1633 Galileo was condemned, and in 1639 John M ilton visited Rome and returned a convinced Protestant: ... I have sat among their lerned men ... and bin counted happy to be born in such a place of Philosophic freedom, as they suppos’d England was, while themselvs did nothing but bemoan the servil condition into which lerning among them was brought; that this was it which dampt the glory of Italian wits; that nothing had bin there writt’n now these many years but flattery and fustian. There it was that I found and visited the famous Galileo, grown old, a prisner to the Inquisition for thinking in Astronomy otherwise than the Franciscan and Dominican licensers of thought (Areopagitica, Columbia Edition, IV, pp. 329-30). No doubt the poet had taken the familiar anti-clerical tone of Catholics too literally ... . Bur when the palliatives are finished, it remains that Urban VIII, himself an amateur of mathematics and astronomy, acted quite irrationally in rejecting Galileo. To his eternal credit his nephew, Cardinal Francesco Barberini, did not sign the guilty verdict delivered by the Inquisition. Perhaps Guidiccioni’s poems ... help to explain the weight of tradition conditioning the Pope’s different response.” LC,UTL

(Women in culture and society) [4], v-xiv, [2], 1-391, [1] pp., [24] pp. of plates: ill,; facsims., geneal. table, ports. In her foreword, Catharine R. Stimpson writes: “An extraordinary woman, Veronica Franco was born in 1546 in Venice. Because they were citizens of Venice by birth, members of her family had a secure legal identity. They were, however, neither rich nor powerful. Indeed, Franco’s mother was a penurious courtesan. Following a tradition among economically vulnerable Venetian mothers and daughters, Franco, too, became a courtesan. She made a success of her profession: visiting Venice, a future king of France called on her. Veronica was also a brilliant woman whose gifts compelled her to develop them. She educated herself and then invented herself as a literary figure. Here, too, she succeeded. Between 1570 and 1580, she wrote poetry and public letters. She took on editorial projects. Tintoretto, the Venetian painter, did her portrait. Regrettably, when she died in 1591, much of the wealth she had earned was gone, a lot of it apparently stolen. Yet, Franco’s life, on the balance, was a dramatic narrative of the exercise of will and talent.” This biography includes translations of quotations from the poetry, prose and letters of Franco and others.

Notre Dame; London: University of Notre Dame Press, c1992. (Notre Dame texts in medieval culture) [4], v-xxv, [3], 3-219, [1] pp. A secondary prose translation from Bokenham’s M iddle English poem (see entry 3813), which was based on seven chapters from Jacobus de Voragine’s Legenda aurea, and other sources. Bokenham (1393?-1447?) was an Augustinian who wrote in the dialect of Suffolk. In his review for the Times Literary Supplement, Gerard Irvine noted: “In the Suffolk dialect, Bokenham’s verse may well have considerable charm. But I am bound to confess that in this modern English prose version, it seems a trifle florid, verbose and dull. Nevertheless, we must be grateful to M s.

And with the conviction that biography is useful when it

Bibliography 1992 Aldo Bernardo writes: “Being the letters of Petrarch’s later years, the Seniles truly project his mature judgment on matters that reflect the centrality of his role at the dawn of humanism. In them, for example, we find more letters addressed to Boccaccio (eighteen), with whom he shares his ideas on culture and literature, than to anyone else; we find two whole books (VII and IX, in addition to several other letters) addressed to Pope Urban V and to his secretary, Francesco Bruni, regarding a host of concerns over the rightful location of the Church, its structure, and its proper role; and we find the equivalent of nearly two more books (in XIII, XIV, XVI) addressed to powerful rulers of the day (Pandolfo M alatesta, Francesco da Carrara, and Charles IV) and dealing with matters of statecraft and political rectitude. Also of considerable interest are those letters interspersed throughout the collection dealing with personal matters, down-to-earth, everyday concerns, and personalized philosophical and spiritual reflections.” CRRS,TRIN,UTL

9308 BONAVENTURE, Saint, Cardinal [Itinerarium mentis in Deum (1259)] The journey of the mind to God. Bonaventure;

Bibliography 1993 translated by Philotheus Boehner, O.F.M.; edited, with introduction and notes, by Stephen F. Brown. Indianapolis; Cambridge: Hackett Publishing Company, c1993, 1956. [4], v-xxvi, 1-71, [5] pp. This translation was first published by the Franciscan Institute, St. Bonaventure University in 1956 in its edition of the Works of Saint Bonaventure. In his new introduction for this edition Brown states: “The Itinerarium or The Journey of the Mind to God is one of the great spiritual books of all times. In the past half century it has been translated into English more than half a dozen times [see 1937, 1953, 1956, 1979, 1993, 2002]. Its greatness, however, lies not only in a certain popular appeal. Its claim to respect is found even more in its deep spiritual message and the challenge it offers to a matter-of-fact view of reality. ... Saint Bonaventure never viewed the world in a hard-nosed, factual way. A rose, for him, was always more than a rose. Or, perhaps, we might better say that for Saint Bonaventure a rose, while remaining a rose, tells an attentive viewer a richer story of its reality.” Also issued in paper. KSM ,LC,UTL

New Haven; London: Yale University Press, c1993. (Music theory translation series) [7], viii-xxxix, [4], 2-236, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsim., music. In his preface, Palisca states: “Few theoretical treatises changed how musicians speculated about music as much as Franchino Gaffurio’s Theorica musice. Five hundred years ago, when every educated musician had heard of Boethius but very few read him, Gaffurio through the new medium of the printed book placed his interpretations of Boethius and other ancient authors in the hands of hundreds of musicians and scholars. ... Whereas Boethius was not a musician, Gaffurio was a singer, composer, teacher of church singers, and from 1484 choirmaster of the Duomo of M ilan. Thus in him ancient theory passed through a filter sensitive to its relevance for modern musicians.” The young Boethius (d. 524) had made a compendium in Latin of the best sources on music theory available to him.

[7], viii-xvi, [3], 4-269, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims., map, music, ports. Concerning the translation, Sparti writes: “M any of the words in de pratica have meanings that differ from their modern or even late sixteenth-century usage. (Florio gives only ‘pilgrim’ for peregrino, pellegrino, whereas Guglielmo’s meaning is usually ‘rare, choice’.) Where dictionaries and comparative texts have proved inadequate for unorthodox spellings, colloquial forms, and archaisms, I have sought the expertise of specialists. Musical and dance terms having no English equivalents, or whose significance is particular to fifteenthcentury Italy, or to the dance-treatises themselves, have not been translated. ... All the dance steps have been kept in Italian. This is because for some steps (like continenze) there is no exact term in English, while for others — where terms do exist — confusion with steps of the same name from other periods and/or countries ... is altogether too possible. ... Other words, like virtute and liberale, have been translated literally, with cognates (in this case, ‘virtue’ and ‘liberal’), since these humanistic terms had the same meaning (now archaic) in English and Italian. However, because of the breadth or particularity of their meaning in the Renaissance — and our distance from those modes of thought — they ... are commented upon in the Glossary. Thus it will be up to the reader to ascribe the relevant modern significance to Guglielmo’s prose.” Also issued in paper in 1995. LC,UTL

([8], vii-xviii, [2], 3-391, [5]; [6], vii-x, [2], 3-400, [6] pp.) Ryan first published a translation of the major part of the Legenda aurea in 1941 (see entry 4107). This new version is the first complete rendering if the Graesse Latin edition (Leipzig, 1845, 1850) into English. Ryan writes: “The Golden Legend is, first and foremost, a religious work, but students of medieval history can see in it how ‘scientific’ history, as distinguished from ‘sacred’ or ‘salvation’ history, was interpreted, misinterpreted, or simply ignored by Jacobus and the authors he consulted, notably Vincent of Beauvais in his Mirror of History. Students of the late medieval mystery plays and miracle plays will see that many of these plays may well have drawn upon the Legend for setting, characters, action, dialogue, and ‘business.’ The book has long been used as an aid in the study of medieval statuary and stained glass. A preliminary question: who are the saints about whom Jacobus compiled his readings? The answer is that they are, so to speak, the ‘official’ saints, whom the Church, up to Jacobus’s time, had declared to be worthy of public veneration, and particularly those whose feast days were celebrated in the Church’s liturgy.” Also issued in paper (fourth printing) in 1995.

The essence of right; v. 2. Rights of the individual; v. 3. Universal social right; v. 4. Rights in God’s church; v. 5. Rights in the family; v. 6. Rights in civil society. In their introduction, the translators write: “What then do we mean by human rights? This is the problem addressed by Rosmini in his Philosophy of Right, the sheer size of which is indicative of the nature of the difficulties found in the question. ... The aim is always to point the way to the foundation of laws on the single principle of justice. ... Rosmini’s diffuseness, immediately obvious in practically all of his works, is not empty verbosity, but the expression of a desire to offer an adequate explanation for everything he says. Unfortunately, this encompasses difficulties which are real enough, but which would not perhaps have occurred to the average reader. Once pointed out, however, they can be seen for what they are.

Angelo Beolco (1502?-1542) is generally known as Ruzzante, after the character he played on stage. The editors note: “Writing largely in his native Paduan dialect, Beolco reflected the difficult lives of those living under the Venetian Republic during a period of great social upheaval and personal danger. Today, his racy plays of Paduan town and country life are considered among the most significant in Italian Renaissance theatre; and La Moschetta is recognized as his masterpiece. ... The action of La Moschetta centres on three men and a woman: a foolish, bragging husband who is not aware of what is happening in his own house [Ruzzante]; his licentious wife; a close friend of the couple who has been the wife’s lover and wishes to regain her affections; and a bullying soldier who desires the wife but underestimates the difficulties involved in achieving his goal.” Issued in paper.

9363 SOMMI, Leone de’ [Le tre sorelle (1588)] The three sisters. Leone De’ Sommi; translated with an introduction and notes by Donald Beecher & Massimo Ciavolella. Ottawa: Dovehouse Editions, 1993. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation; [14]) [6], 7-131, [1] pp. Leone de’ Sommi (ca. 1525-ca. 1590) was an Italian Jewish playwright. He lived in M antua, and wrote most of his poetic dramas in Italian in the service of the Gonzaga dukes. The major collection of his manuscripts was destroyed in a fire at the Biblioteca Nazionale di Torino, and all that has survived is this comedy, an early treatise on the art of stage direction, Quattro dialoghi in materia di rappresentazioni sceniche (Four Dialogues on Scenic Representation), a pastoral work in Italian, a poem in defence of women, and the Hebrew play A Comedy of Betrothal. Beecher identifies Le tre sorelle as a mannerist comedy. He notes: “Sommi’s work is not only a tale of three sisters, but three complete fables simultaneously related in a way that permits a sufficient leakage from plot to plot to allow for a coordination of crises and resolutions and a three-in-one denouement. That strategy of design was born from the idea of the play. M ore openly than ever before, the play is a witty contrivance of the ingenious maker, a practical manipulation of the resources of the theatre to accommodate a plot which is, itself, designed to test those resources in the extreme.” Beecher also notes that the plot owes much to Publio Filippo M antovani’s Formicone (1503), and to M achiavelli’s La Mandragola (1519), and continues: “Such borrowing was by no means to be looked upon as theft, but as a clever appropriation of prior structures, the identification of which furnishes an important new level of audience response in the play. Such a feat vacillates between the ideal of an art of referentiality that finds its materials in imitation of other works of art as opposed to society, and technical bravura of a most transparent but no less demanding kind.” Also issued in paper.

M oreover, for the first time, he used effectively the method of studying the usage of words in the variations of their meaning and application, and other devices of internal criticism which are the tools of historical criticism today. So, while Valla’s little book may seem slight beside later masterpieces of investigation and beside systematic treatises in larger fields, it is none the less a landmark in the rise of a new science.” Erasmus wrote of Valla as: “a man who with so much energy, zeal and labour, refuted the stupidities of the barbarians, saved half-buried letters from extinction, restored Italy to her ancient splendour of eloquence, and forced even the learned to express themselves henceforth with more circumspection.” (Epistles of Erasmus, ed.

James Anderson, in his Dictionary of Opera and Operetta, notes: “The last and one of the finest of Verdi’s early period operas, it met with little success at its appearance, partly because Italian audiences found the idea of a priest’s adulterous wife shocking — indeed, modern audiences still find the piece a little uncomfortable.” (1995: 532) Verdi revised the opera as Aroldo (1857), now set in Kent and Scotland in the 12 th century rather than in Austria in the early 19 th century.

The nine trials discussed here, including extensive translations from the records of the papal courts, date for the most part from 1558-9, with one trial from 1542, and one from 1574. The authors write: “To many modern readers, the trials in this book will seem strange and sometimes shocking. In them, one finds a murderous abbot, a shoemaker exorcist, a housewife and her maid who tell the future with beans, a lord who strips his debtor naked, a prostitute who mixes sex and magic, and various other characters who behave in surprising ways. One might think that these legal records present not the late Renaissance but a mere rogues’ gallery of Roman curiosities. It is better not to dismiss them, however, for in large and small these trials do indeed represent their world in countless ways. Despite their striking features, they are neither odd nor rare. The records of the papal courts are full of such unexpected behaviour. Furthermore, oddities aside, these trials depict behaviour embedded in the normal, for in them the rhythms of speech, the patters of belief and action, are all faithful to their world. Letters, diaries, novelle, and plays confirm the trials’ image of mid-sixteenth-century Italian life.” Also issued in paper. CRRS,KSM ,UTL

Valla wrote, in his conclusion to what the editors term “a notorious, self-aggrandizing assault”: “in some places of his tract, Bartolo, ignorant of Latin, misinterprets the law; in other places, he disfigures the law with perverse interpretations; elsewhere, he alleges the laws without understanding them properly ... .” Bartolo’s tract had been left unfinished at his death in 1357.

then poet laureate of the United States. He writes: “I have tried to make an Inferno in English that stays true to the nature of English, and that conveys the meaning of the Italian as accurately as possible, in lines of terza rima that will suggest some of the force and suppleness of Dante’s form. Above all, I have tried to translate a poem: in passages where my English is not literal, I hope that it is faithful to the spirit. ... Italian is rich in rhyme, while English — despite having a far greater number of words — is relatively poor in rhyme. Therefore, the triple rhymes of the original can put tremendous strain on an English translation. One response to this strain, one way of dealing with the toturous demand of terza rima in English, has been to force the large English lexicon to supply rhymes: squeezing unlikely synonyms to the ends of lines, and bending idiom ruthlessly to get them there. This translation rejects that solution and instead makes a more flexible definition of rhyme, or of the kind and degree of like sound that constitute rhyme. But on the other hand I have not accepted just any similar sounds as rhyming: the translation is based on a fairly systematic rhyming norm that defines rhyme as the same consonant-sounds — however much vowels may differ — at the ends of words.” This edition was in its 8 th printing in 1998.

The series editors note that the Dialogo: “takes the form of a debate about the rival merits of the M edici regime from 1434 to 1494 and the popular regime that succeeded it, offering a critical analysis of M edici government and of republican ideology, especially the concepts of liberty and equality adopted by the popular regime. Although Guicciardini’s own preferred model of government is based on control by an aristocratic elite, he rejects classical republican arguments in the name of the new political realism, like his contemporary and friend M achiavelli. Acknowledging the important role of patronage and graft in contemporary politics and the illegitimacy of nearly all forms of political power, Guicciardini provides, in this Dialogue, one of the clearest expositions of the term ‘reason of state’, which he was one of the first to employ and which he uses to justify the priority of state interest over private morality and religion.” Also issued in paper.

The Zibaldone dates from a little after 1320, and the name of the Venetian compiler is not known. It begins with a workbook of arithmetic problems, and continues with a compilation of information that could be useful to merchants in the pursuit of business, and astrological, herbal, and other knowledge. Dotson notes: “The reader will immediately note that the Zibaldone da Canal is a work with almost no pretensions to literary style. With few exceptions ... it is a merchant’s work, conveying its information plainly and, sometimes, a little awkwardly. This is a work from a different time and a different culture; it did not seem appropriate to render it in a modern American idiom, bur neither was a conscious archaism desirable. The goal is an acceptable compromise: an avoidance of antiquated or difficult words, a simplification of the complex and often redundant syntax of the original, but retaining a certain formality and stiffness which seem a part of the tone of the original. The result, I hope, reflects the Zibaldone da Canal for what it was: a collection of business and educational information written by businessmen.”

Bibliography 1994 Fibonacci’s Liber abaci of 1202 in the library of the San Antonio di Castello in Venice. Fibonacci’s own writings were only published in 1857-1862. Concerning Pacioli, Yamey writes: “When Jacob Burckhardt, the Swiss historian of the Renaissance in Italy, wished to demonstrate the pre-eminence of Italy in mathematics and the natural sciences towards the end of the fifteenth century, he named three persons: Paolo Toscanello, Luca Pacioli, and Leonardo da Vinci. It is interesting, if somewhat surprising, that Pacioli should have been included in this select group. For although his place in the history of mathematics is assured, it is nevertheless the assessment of competent scholars that he himself contributed little if anything directly to the development of mathematics. Pacioli came to be the best known mathematician of his time because of his activity as a compiler, writer and teacher, not as innovator. His fame as a mathematician was widespread, reinforced by his endeavours to make mathematics accessible to artists, technicians and artisans, as well as to merchants and men of affairs generally. He was eager to show that mathematics was not an abstruse subject fit only for scholars and demonstrated that it had ‘a great variety of practical applications.’ His two major works, the Summa de arithmetica of 1494 and De divina proportione of 1509, were written in Italian, not Latin, so as to reach a wide audience, though he was aware also of the limitations of Latin in scientific discourse. Pacioli was not interested in mathematics only for its applications to practical affairs. He moved freely in humanist circles; and especially in De divina proportione he was also addressing those with a philosophical or speculative turn of mind.” Issued in paper. OCLC,Western

Loss is a risk when the language is changed. That risk exists with any interpretation of Pacioli’s original text. M y translation, however, is quite different from the three previous English translations in this respect: my emphasis has been placed on integral coherence, that is, the form at some expense to literal translation. To this end, certain of Pacioli’s medieval terms have been replaced with contemporary idioms and terms. ... Certain pieces of text and word descriptions have been condensed and streamlined, ... . I have also changed the schematic representation, particularly the accounting book entries. I have shown such entries as thay might appear in a modern text on accounting.” Jeremy Cripps is Associate Professor of Accounting at Heidelberg College in Tiffen, Ohio. Concordia,OCLC

Antonio Rosmini; translated by Denis Cleary and Terence Watson. Durham: Rosmini House, 1994. (The philosophy of politics; v. 1) [6], vii-x, [1], 2-96, [2] pp. In their foreword, the translators state why Rosmini’s Philosophy of Politics is important to the present state of civil society: “We live in a civilization where photo-opportunities and sound-bites are rapidly taking the place of reasoned arguments in civil affairs; we are not given the opportunity of asking about the purpose of society, nor about the nature of its essential elements, nor about the means by which society is to achieve its end. This is particularly dangerous at moments of history marked by gross materialism with its inevitable tendency to individualism. Consumerism, our own brand of materialism, is necessarily destructive of the union between persons on which society depends. ... Rosmini’s aim in this book is to open our eyes to the formative elements of society, to indicate the means needed for the preservation of this inner reality, and to show that neglect of these means leads to the downfall of every society.” Issued in paper.

Translated by Claude M. Jarmak, O.F.M. Conv., in collaboration with Thomas E. Hunt. Ellicott City, Maryland: Conventual Franciscan Friars, c1995 [6], 7-228, [2] pp. Anthony of Padua (1195-1231), a Portuguese Franciscan, spent the last ten years of his brief life in Italy. In 1223 he was commissioned by Francis of Assisi to teach theology to the friars in Bologna, and in 1229 he performed the same duty in Padua. The Sermones translated here “are not the sermons Saint Anthony preached to the people in the vernacular, but a scholarly exposition of Scripture written in Latin,” notes Jarmak. He writes: “In the prelude to his work Saint Anthony mentions that he will use three different interpretations of Scripture: allegorical, which, in his words, ‘builds up the faith’; moral, which ‘forms good habits’; and anagogical, which ‘treats of the fullness of joy and angelic beatitude’. Therefore, the Anthonian work, from the author’s intention and from the method used, is a manual of sacred Scripture and not a series of sermons to be preached. Sermo in this work is merely a literary style providing external structure. It is a literary device for the purpose of teaching doctrine.” Issued in paper. Cornell,LC,OCLC

[7], viii-xvi, [1], 2-215, [1] pp.: ill.; ports. Freedman writes: “In studying Titian’s portraits while reading Aretino’s writings, we experience a vivid dialogue

between the painted image and its verbal equivalent, both creations of the same milieu with its respective conventional language. Neither Titian nor Aretino wrote a treatise on portraiture, but each of them was a master of his own medium. Their contemporaries eagerly acknowledged that the writings of Aretino were complementary to the portraits of Titian, something that might sound unusual to the twentieth-century reader. Through writing about portraits in his letters and sonnets, which were immediately published in the vernacular, Aretino’s writings were easily accessible to the cinquecento literati. Gradually, Aretino’s letters introduced a vogue of writing about portraits to artists and sitters alike, compelling his contemporaries to develop a new approach to portraits.” ERI,LC,UTL

Bellamy writes, in his introduction: “Beccaria’s classic study On Crimes and Punishments belongs to the category of works which are much cited and little read. In Beccaria’s case the reasons for this relative neglect are twofold. First, until recently even those who have attempted to read him, either in the original or in translation, have had to rely on a corrupt text. ... the present edition provides the first English version of the book as it was last published and revised by Beccaria. Second, the context provided by Beccaria’s other writings and those of his circle is rarely known, so that the background assumptions on which his argument rested have either appeared obscure or simply been misconstrued. As a result, Beccaria has come to be

694

pigeon-holed as one of the founding fathers of a putative tradition of classic penal reformers, and the distinctiveness of his contribution has been recognised only rarely. His argument, however, was more complex than a number of commentators have appreciated, anticipating in an original way some of the solutions and difficulties of contemporary philosophers of punishment.” Also issued in paper.

At this time Bonaventure was 50 years old, and was M inister General of the Franciscan Order. Spaeth writes: “Certainly one of the most interesting aspects of the contents of these collations are the attacks and refutations which Bonaventure levels against groups of his day which he sees as being in error either philosophically or theologically. Almost everything that has been written so far on this set of collations on the Ten Commandments has centered attention, and then only briefly, on Bonaventure’s attacks on the Latin Averroists. But the Averroists are only one of three groups which are the targets for Bonaventure’s words. Bonaventure also speaks in refutation of arguments raised by the Albigensians, whom he calls M anicheans, and the Jews.” Issued in paper.

9535 JAMES, of Viterbo, Archbishop of Naples [De regimine Christiano (ca. 1302)] On Christian government. De regimine Christiano. James of Viterbo; edited, translated and introduced by R. W. Dyson. Woodbridge, Suffolk; Rochester, NY: The Boydell Press, 1995. [8], i-xxvii, [1], 1-160, [4] pp. James of Viterbo (ca. 1255-1307 or 8) was one of the most distinguished intellectuals of the late thirteenth century. His tract, Dyson notes: “seeks to defend the view that the pope is the supreme judge of the world in spiritual and temporal matters alike and that temporal princes are to regard themselves as the servants and auxiliaries of the Church.” It was written in the context of the war between England and France, the question of the right of kings to tax the clergy within their realms, and the issue of clerical immunity from the jurisdiction of secular courts. The current pope, Boniface VIII, had been complicit in the affair of the abdication and custody of his predecessor

Celestine V, a saintly ascetic, and his political opponent Philip the Fair of France accused him of every kind of crime and sin. Dyson writes concerning De regimine Christiano: “The treatise is likely to be found superficially less imposing as a piece of controversial writing than Aegidius Romanus’s De ecclesiatica potestate [see Dyson’s edition and translation of 1986]: less imposing, that is, in terms of its scope and force and immediate impact. On a less superficial level of assessment, however, De regimine Christiano is in certain respects more telling and more skilful in its execution than its more celebrated companion. This is so precisely because James habitually takes what he calls ‘a middle way which seems to be more reasonable.’ By this more reasonable and inoffensive way, he contrives, with mild logical steps, quietly to formulate a theory of papal monarchy which is every bit as imposing and ambitious as that of Aegidius, while being systematically less arrant and provocative. In this sense, James of Viterbo’s work has the curious and beguiling property of combining moderation and extremism.” KSM ,LC,UTL

699 introduction by James Wyatt Cook. Binghamton, New York: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, 1995. (Medieval & Renaissance texts & studies; vol. 129) [5], vi-x, 1-289, [5] pp. Republished in the same form in 2000 by Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, Tempe, Arizona. Concerning the literary career of Lorenzo de’ M edici, the M agnificent, Cook writes: “He is perhaps least well remembered outside Italy for his unfinished Comento de’ miei sonetti, a text only once before entirely translated into English, and then privately published [see entry 4931]. Yet this often neglected document is important, even crucial, to our growing understanding of the mind, the art, the political and dynastic ambitions, and the personality of Lorenzo. First, it constitutes an interior autobiography. Second, in conducting an intimate discourse about ideas with Lorenzo’s friends and associates in the Florentine intellectual community as it circulated among them in draft, the Commentary positions Lorenzo’s thinking at the intersection of a partly shared, yet nonetheless idiosyncratic, set of literary, philosophical, and religious coordinates. Finally, it erects the theoretical framework for a Laurentian political manifesto, albeit one that perhaps Lorenzo never successfully implemented.” CRRS,LC,UTL

9609 BIANCHINI, Francesco [Hesperi et Phosphori nova phænomena (1728)] Observations concerning the planet Venus. Francesco Bianchini; translated by Sally Beaumont, assisted by Peter Fay. London [etc.]: Springer, 1996. [5], 2-172 pp.: ill.; diagrams, tables. Bianchini (1662-1729) was born in Verona, and studied mathematics, physics, astronomy, and theology. In Rome, he entered the service of Cardinal Pietro Ottoboni, later Pope Alexander VIII, and became his librarian. His scholarly interests were combined in his work as secretary of the commission for the reform of the calendar, and on a method to calculate the astronomically correct date for Easter in any given year. From his observations of the surface of Venus, Bianchini deduced the planet’s rotational period (something not, in fact, possible, because of the planet’s opaque atmosphere). Bianchini worked for the curia of three popes, and was respected for his scholarship in Italy and throughout Europe. In addition to his scientific work he published an edition of the Liber Pontificialis, and one volume of a universal history. In her preface, Beaumont notes: “Yet though he was wrong in many of his conclusions, his painstaking methods, his use of planispheres and armillary machines to demonstrate the phases, his application of his observed movements of markings to a determination of the rotation and tilt of [Venus’s] axis, his measurements of parallax and his plotting of the markings on charts and globes, are all sound practice, relevant to planets like M ars with real surface markings, and very praiseworthy achievements when viewed in their historical context.” LC,UTL

9611 BON, Ottaviano [Descrizione del serraglio del Gransignore (before 1622)] The Sultan’s seraglio: an intimate portrait of life at the Ottoman court (from the seventeenth-century edition of John Withers). Ottaviano Bon; introduced and annotated by Godfrey Goodwin. London: Saqi Books, 1996. [7], 8-165, [3] pp. Ottaviano Bon (1551-1622) was the Venetian representative in Istanbul from 1604 to 1607. He recorded every aspect of life at the Topkapi Palace to which he was given access. The editor was not able to determine how a confidential report by the Venetian ambassador came into the hands of Robert Withers (according to him, the villain of the story), who omitted some parts of Bon’s account, and made some additions of his own, for the English edition published in 1560. Goodwin has set off Withers’s additions in square brackets, and has restored the omitted sections of Bon’s account. The publisher notes: “The book is of particular value not only as the best and most reliable of the contemporary accounts, but also because it is not romanticized or ‘orientalist.’ The author observed with a detached eye, at times comparing Turkish customs with Western ones, but always concerned to leave an objective picture.” Bon’s report was only published in Italian in 2002; there was a Turkish edition in 1996.

9612 BONAVENTURE, Saint, Cardinal [De reductione artium ad theologiam (1257). English and Latin] St. Bonaventure’s On the reduction of the arts to theology. Translation with introduction and commentary prepared by Zachary Hayes, O.F.M. St. Bonaventure, N.Y.: Franciscan Institute, St. Bonaventure University, 1996. (Works of Saint Bonaventure; 1) [7], viii, [1], 2-61, [3] pp. This translation replaces the translation by Sr. Emma Thérèse Healy published in 1955 as the first volume in the Works. Hayes writes: “The title of this small work of Bonaventure is itself the expression of the life-time project of the M aster. It implies the longstanding conviction of the Seraphic Doctor that the ideal for the spiritual-intellectual life is to draw all the varied forms of human knowledge into a unity to serve the human person in the spiritual journey. The project

rests on the assumption that all the forms of knowledge as then known are to be related finally to divine revelation which is the highest form of wisdom and is the concern of Scripture or theology.” It is Hayes’s opinion that this is a late work of Bonaventure, perhaps written after 1269.

9616 CECCHI, Giovan Maria [La Stiava (1550)] The slave girl. Giovan Maria Cecchi; translated, with introduction and notes, by Bruno Ferraro. Ottawa: Dovehouse Editions, 1996. (Carleton Renaissance plays in translation; 28) [6], 7-118, [2] pp. Ferraro notes that “La Stiava was probably written in 1546 as one of a series of plays which Cecchi intended to write on the subject of marriage and domestic affairs.” The function of the slave girl of the title, who does not appear in the play, is to set in motion a complex plot (derived from Plautus) with entanglements which will be resolved through an agnizione, that is: “the discovery of information which will lead to the dénouement of the play and, eventually, to the happy ending.” Ferraro comments: “Though the technique of finding a long lost daughter or son at the crucial moment of the action may appear ridiculous to the modern audience, sixteenth-century spectators enjoyed seeing the most complicated plots unfold thanks to one or more instances of agnizione.” Issued in paper.

9624 The complete works of Thomas Watson (15561592). Volume I [II]. Edited by Dana F. Sutton. Lewiston; Queenston; Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press, c1996. (Studies in Renaissance literature; v. 13a-b) 2 v. ([8], v-xxxv, [4], 4-365, [3]; [11], 8-402, [2] pp.) This edition includes the Ekatompathia, or, Passionate Century of Love (Hekatompathia, see entry 6440), drawing on Petrarch and other Italian writers. Also included are the text and translation of Watson’s Latin Amyntas (which is not a translation from Tasso), together with his Amintæ Gaudia, and his First Sett of Italian Madrigalls Englished (translations or imitations of Luca M arenzio, 1553-1599). In his poems, Watson often drew on or imitated the strambotti of Serafino Aquilano (Serafino Ciminelli, 1466-1500), and his other Italian sources include Ercole Strozzi (1471-1508), Angelo Poliziano, Agnolo Firenzuola, and Girolamo Parabosco (ca. 1524-1557). Sutton writes: “Thomas Watson (1556-92) is the only important Elizabethan University Wit whose works remain uncollected and to an alarming extent unedited. This despite the fact that he was an intellectually lively and engaging writer, and an important figure for the development of the English sonnet cycle and madrigal. ... It is impossible to write a satisfactorily connected life of Thomas Watson. Although a number of biographical studies have been attempted, what we know about his life remains disturbingly episodic.

Peter Dale (b. 1938) is a poet who has also published translations of Laforgue, Villon, and others. In his introduction he writes: “In ‘The Poet as Translator’, ... C. H. Sisson, himself a translator of the Comedy, with his typically succinct good sense remarked: ‘What we call a translation is no more than a reading, in one time and place, of a text from another time and place. It siphons off something from the original, but as much only as we in our different world are able to take.’ That is precisely where this version began: as a reading, as a thwarted reading — which arose in a curious way. In writing a short book on rhyme-technique, having criticized the opening rhymes of several versions of the first canto of the Comedy, I felt obliged to risk my neck in a footnote with an attempt of my own out of a sense of fairness. But terza rima is a running rhyme and you haven’t really achieved it until at least the end of the canto. So, this version is perhaps one of the longest footnotes in history.” The three illustrations are from watercolours by William Blake. Also issued in paper. BrockLC,OCLC

The translators write: “Domenico Scandella [1532-1599], the quixotic, free-thinking and outspoken Friulian miller was executed by order of the Inquisition in 1599 as a relapsed heretic. This modest figure, virtually unknown in his day outside the borders of M ontereale Valcellina, a tiny hamlet nestled at the foot of the mountains, and a few other neighboring villages, suddenly was brought out of centuries-long obscurity and was made one of the heroes of modern historiography by Carlo Ginzburg’s now classic The Cheese and the Worms [see 1980].” Del Col published his transcript of the two trials, together with a long, scholarly introduction, in 1990. This translation contains the two trials in their full form, but is otherwise slightly abridged.

The editors for the collection are Edward and Peter Razzell. In his introduction, Christopher Hill writes that during the Civil War period: “Venice was still a significant participant in international politics. ... The main concern of her representatives in England during this period was to ensure that England either remained neutral in the Thirty Years War or at least did not join the Spanish side, as some conservative English politicians wished. From time to time an ambassador intervened when he thought that persecution of Catholics in England was getting out of hand. Otherwise relations were generally friendly. The ambassadors appreciated England’s position as a leading Protestant power in a world dominated by Franco-Spanish rivalries.” LC,UTL

9639 Famous Italian opera arias: a dual-language book. Edited and translated by Ellen H. Bleiler. Mineola, New York: Dover Publications, 1996. [4], iii-x, 1-99, [17] pp. This book includes standard Italian texts and new specially prepared translations of 141 arias from 29 operas by 17 composers. The publisher notes: “The new English translations adhere as closely to the Italian text as differences in idiom and word order will allow. They claim to be more correct than most translations accompanying recordings, which frequently show symptoms of a lack of solid foundation in Italian grammar (confusion of parts of speech, non-recognition of the subjunctive mode, etc.), a reliance on false cognates and a substitution of wild guesswork for conscientious dictionary searches, especially where the Italian vocabulary becomes recherché (as in texts by Boito). The almost cynical notion that Italian is such an easy language that it can be learned ‘by osmosis’ invariably leads to the most ludicrous errors; the present volume wishes to strike a blow for accuracy. Some opera lovers may be surprised to learn the real meaning of certain phrases from their favorite arias.” The texts by writers before 1900 are for operas by Bellini (La sonnambula (1831), libretto by Felice Romani; Norma (1831), libretto by Romani; I puritani (1835), libretto by Carlo Pepoli), Donizetti (L’elisir d’amor (1832), libretto by Romani; Lucrezia Borgia (1833), libretto by Romani; Lucia di Lammermoor (1835), libretto by Salvatore Cammarano; Don Pasquale (1843), libretto by the composer and Giovanni Ruffini), Gluck (Orfeo ed Euridice (1762), libretto by Raniero de Calzabigi), Handel (Serse (1738), libretto adapted from Nicolò M inato), Mozart (Le nozze di Figaro (1786), libretto by

Lorenzo Da Ponte; Don Giovanni (1787), libretto by Da Ponte; Così fan tutte (1790), libretto by Da Ponte), Rossini (Tancredi (1813), libretto by Gaetano Rossi; L’italiana in Algeri (1813), libretto by Angelo Anelli; Il barbiere di Siviglia (1816), libretto by Cesare Sterbini; La Cenerentola (1817), libretto by Jacopo Ferretti; Semiramide (1823), libretto by Rossi), and Verdi (Ernani (1844), libretto by Francesco M aria Piave; Luisa Miller (1849), libretto by Salvatore Cammarano; Rigoletto (1851), libretto by Piave; Il trovatore (1853), libretto by Cammarano; La traviata (1853), libretto by Piave; Simon Boccanegra (1857), libretto by Piave; Un ballo in maschera (1859), libretto by Antonio Somma; La forza del destino (1862), libretto by Piave; Aida (1871), libretto by Antonio Ghislanzoni). There are also translations from Italian versions of French operas by Donizetti, M eyerbeer, and Verdi, and the German opera Martha, by Flotow, and translations from works classed in the 20 th century (in my scheme) by Boito, Catalani, Cilea, Giordano, Leoncavallo, Mascagni, Ponchielli, and Puccini.

9640 FERRAZZI, Cecilia [Autobiografia di una santa mancata (1990)] Autobiography of an aspiring saint. Cecilia Ferrazzi; transcribed, translated, and edited by Anne Jacobson Schutte. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 1996. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [8], ix-xxix, [5], 3-101, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims., map. Cecilia Ferrazzi (1609-1684) was a woman from the Venetian artisanal class who, around 1648 established a house of refuge for “girls in danger” from various social classes. She was denounced to the Inquisition in 1664, on the evidence of some of her “girls” that she was dictatorial and imposed sadistic punishments. At that time, Schutte writes: “she was safeguarding, indoctrinating in piety, and training in needlework about three hundred virgins ranging in age from five to just under thirty.” The inquisitor was most interested in the charge that she had heard her girls’ confessions and provided absolution. “In seventeenth-century eyes, preserving girls’ virginity was a perfectly appropriate job for a woman; mediating their standing with God was a responsibility reserved to ordained men.” Ferrazzi was condemned by the Inquisition “as lightly suspect of heresy, that is, of holding and believing that it is licit for a Catholic Christian to make herself considered a saint.” Her case was appealed, and she was eventually released and allowed to return to Venice, where she disappeared from the historical record until her death. A small part of her testimony to the Inquisition, and the autobiography that she was allowed to write in her own defence in 1664-5, were edited by Schutte and published in Italian in 1990, and it is this that Schutte has translated and presented here.

Hildinger writes: “This translation was prepared from a new edition of Carpini’s Historia put out by the Centri Italiano di Studi Sull’Alto M edioevo of Spoleto, edited by Enrico M enesto [Storia dei Mongoli, 1989]. ... Carpini’s work is relatively concise, but from the standpoint of style is not, strictly speaking, a literary work. ... Obviously, part of the pleasure of reading an author from so long ago is to catch the flavor of the language, or as much as one can from a translation. I think that Carpini’s style is so distinctive that it should be quite evident in this translation despite the concessions I have made toward a more colloquial translation.” See also entry 4103.

the beginning that he writes only what he judges to be necessary for readers’ greater understanding, as if he were merely an auxiliary to Livy and his book a mere supplement to Livy’s.” But they also write: “Just as The Prince is more republican than it first appears and than it is reputed to be according to the common opinion that the two books are opposed, so the Discourses is more princely or tyrannical than it first appears and is reputed to be. ... The discussion in the Discourses of ordering and maintaining liberty in a corrupt city makes clear the dependence of republican ends on tyrannical means. It also reveals M achiavelli’s apparent indifference to whether these good ends achieved through bad means result from good men willing to use bad means or from bad men willing to seek good ends. It indicates that the need for such means and for such men arises not only at the founding or beginning but repeatedly for maintaining, reforming, or refounding.” Also issued in paper in 1998.

Who will find his personal correspondence articulating urgent preoccupations and exposing facets of his personality not always present in the standard fare of university curricula. There is ample evidence in his letters, to be sure, of his shaping ancient and modern history to his own advantage and of refining his thoughts on politics for clarity and subtlety. But a less familiar M achiavelli shines through his letters: M achiavelli the literary artist, M achiavelli the storyteller, M achiavelli the playwright, M achiavelli the self-fashioning portraitist, M achiavelli the practical joker.

(The philosophy of right; v. 6) [7], viii-xxii, [4], 5-487, [3] pp. The translators note: “The preceding five volumes of the English translation of Rosmini’s The Philosophy of Right have dealt with the essence of right, individual rights, the principles underlying social right and the application of these principles to theocratic society and to domestic society [see entries 9353-5 and 9556-8]. In this sixth and final volume, Rosmini applies the same principles to civil society, the third and last of the great societies necessary for ‘the perfect organisation of mankind’, the kind of society which is the inevitable consequence of even minimal development as mankind increases in numbers and exercises its native talents. Rosmini’s aim is to show how civil society, in all its principal manifestations, is related to right, and dependent on the appropriate exercise of rights for its well-being and progress.” OCLC,STAS

This life of Ciriaco d’Ancona (1391-1452) by his fellow townsman Scalamonti (d. 1468) survives as a single manuscript in the Biblioteca Capitolare at Treviso.. It was first published, with some omissions and emendations, in 1792. In their introduction, the editors note that Ciriaco: “was the most enterprising and prolific recorder of Greek and Roman antiquities, particularly inscriptions, in the fifteenth century, and the general accuracy of his records entitles him to be called the founding father of modern classical archaeology. The evidence of his activities comes from numerous and often fragmentary manuscripts, many still unpublished, of his travel-journals or commentaria (as he himself termed them), and from his copious correspondence, his literary opuscula and vernacular poems, and his memoranda and common-place books” (see Ciriaco, 2003). Scalamonti writes that he had known Ciriaco from his earliest childhood, and that he also drew his information from Ciriaco’s mother and relatives, and from Ciriaco’s own mouth and numerous writings. Scalamonti himself was descended from a French family which migrated from Arles to Ancona in 1114, and he followed the career of knight, lawyer and diplomat. Issued in paper. CRRS,LC,UTL

9671 SERLIO, Sebastiano [Tutte l’opere d’architettura (1537-75)] Sebastiano Serlio on architecture. Volume one: Books I-V of Tutte l’opere d’architettura et prospetiva [Volume two: Books VI and VII of Tutte l’opere d’architettura et prospetiva; with ‘Castrametation of the Romans’ and ‘The extraordinary book of doors.’]. By Sebastiano Serlio; translated from the Italian with an introduction and commentary by Vaughan Hart and Peter Hicks. New Haven; London: Yale University Press, 1996-2001. 2 v. ([11], xii-xxxv, [8], 4-484, [4]; [9], x-liii, [3], 3-640, [2] pp.): ill.; diagrams, facsims, plans. Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554) was the most important architectural writer and theorist of the sixteenth century. The author of the first wide-ranging illustrated book on architecture, he produced a complete set of model designs as well as practical solutions for everyday design problems. The later works are here translated for the first time, and the long-lost sixth book united with its companion works. The translators note: “We have aimed for a consistency in style, and a translation which gets Serlio’s meaning as literally, or simply, as possible. Serlio has a plain, non-metaphorical style and a precision with architectural terminology (much of which he either invents or records from the oral traditions of Vitruvian critics ...). We did not wish to modernise Serlio’s text since he was, after all, not a writer of our time.” John Onians, in the Times Literary Supplement, found it to be “an excellent translation.” Vaughan Hart is Reader in Architectural History in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath, and Director of the Centre for Advanced Studies in Architecture at Bath. Peter Hicks is Visiting Research Fellow in Architectural History in the Department of Architecture and Civil Engineering at the University of Bath, and Historian at the Fondation Napoléon, Paris.

It was Thomas Aquinas who first judged it to have been abstracted from Proclus’s Elements of Theology, presumably by an unknown Arabic author, who added to it isdeas of his own. ... Thomas’s Commentary on the Book of Cases, composed during the first half of 1272, offers an extended view of his approach to Neoplatonic thought and functions as a guide to his metaphysics. Though long neglected and, until now, never translated into English, it deserves an equal place alongside his commentaries on Aristotle and Boethius.” Also issued in paper. KSM ,OCLC,UTL

(Emblem book facsimile series) [6], 1-21, [17], 1-247, [51] pp.: facsims. In the introduction, Porteman writes: “Undoubtedly the most important of all love emblem books was the collection designed by Otto van Veen (Vaenius) [1556-1629], called Amorum Emblemata (Antwerp 1608). The book’s 124 emblems make it the most exhaustive in the genre: it was published simultaneously in three different polyglot versions. The first contained Latin, French and Dutch texts, the second Latin, Italian and French, and the third, Latin, English and Italian. ... The ultimate accolade which confirmed Amorum Emblemata as a success was the way in which it was subsequently used by decorative artists throughout Europe. This facsimile of the Latin-English-Italian edition will also include the Dutch, French and Spanish texts.” Porteman concludes: “Amorum Emblemata is structured like an orchestral score, which its interpreters could perform, leafing back and forth, in various manners and with various intentions, always to the rhythm of the highly esteemed, flutteringly associative art of conversation. Even the contemporary reader or viewer will eventually have little difficulty in getting to grips with the collection’s composition.

Palisca notes: “Vicentino’s L’antica musica ridotta alla moderna prattica is one of the most famous books in the history of music theory and one of the least read. ... The book holds a unique place in mid-sixteenth-century music. Unlike most early theorists, Vicentino did not simply synthesize and transmit the practice of his time. He aimed to change how composers wrote and how musicians thought about music. While Gioseffo

Zarlino’s Le istitutioni harmoniche of 1558 stood for the status quo, Vicentino led the avant garde.” Vicentino (1511-1576 or 7) was a composer, choir director, and teacher. He was born in Vicenza, studied in Venice under Adrian Willaert, was in the service of Ippolito II d’Este, cardinal of Ferrara, travelled and performed in France and Italy, and died in M ilan.

[6], ix-xxiv, [4], 3-55, [9] pp., folded plates: ill.; port., volvelles. “The Latin text has been established by Augusto Buonafalce; the English based on a partial translation by Charles J. M endelsohn in 1939, edited by David Kahn.” Alberti’s Latin text, with an Italian version, was published by Galimberti in 1994 as Dello scrivere in cifra. De componendis cyfris was first published in Italian in 1568 in Opuscoli morali. Alberti invented the cipher disk and cryptographic key. His cipher disk was polyalphabetic, meaning that a new alphabet could be created each time of use by turning the disk. The change between ciphers was marked by the capitalization of the first letter of the section of text to be encrypted with the new shift. Compared to previous ciphers of the time the Alberti cipher was all but impossible to break without knowledge of the method. The weakness of the cipher was the need to indicate to the intended recipient where the cipher alphabet was changed. Alberti was a friend of Leonardo Dato, a pontifical secretary who might have instructed Alberti on the state of the art in cryptology. Albert himself wrote: “I desire that this cipher, most convenient and beautiful as it is, and marvelously capable of contributing to the safety of the State and carrying out affairs of the greatest moment, be dedicated as a consecrated offering to posterity. With a cunning use of these tables, in fact, those who are under siege and several miles distant from each other will be able to communicate what should be done, without sending written messages, but by means of signals made by torchlight or smoke. If you reflect on this device and understand its importance, you will congratulate me. What indeed is more admirable than the ability to exchange information with even the most distant regions against the will of the enemy and to send word on the situation and on what decisions you are about to take and on what is to be expected?

Blythe writes: “M ore than anyone else, Ptolemy combined the principles of northern Italian government with scholastic Aristotelian political theory. He was also the first of his time, or among the first, to state many ideas that were later to become commonplace. He is the first medieval political theorist not to endorse kingship as the best form of government. In fact, he attacks it as the moral equivalent of despotism, totally inappropriate for a virtuous and freedom-loving people. Believing this, he obviously cannot subscribe to the dominant medieval appreciation for the Roman Empire. Instead he glorifies Republican Rome and brands Julius Caesar as a tyrant and the Roman Empire as tyranny. These are remarkable assertions for someone writing around 1300, and the harbinger of a commonplace humanist view of the fifteenth century. ... One of the most remarkable things about Ptolemy’s book is its wealth of examples, unique in scholastic works of his time.” Blythe believes that Bartholomew of Lucca (ca. 1236-1327) was responsible for the second part of Book 2, and for Books 3 and 4. The whole book was often attributed to Thomas Aquinas, and it is still though that Thomas wrote the first part, also known as On the Kingdom or, On Kingship, to the King of Cyprus, a coherent and self-contained treatise on government (see 1949, 1967).

Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 1997. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [7], viii-xxv, [6], 4-216 pp.: port. Laura Cereta was born in Brescia in 1469. She was educated in a convent, and continued to study at home, where she was needed to help care for her younger brothers and sisters. She was married at the age of fifteen and widowed at sixteen. She corresponded, in Latin, with humanist teachers and professors, and sustained a number of intellectual friendships with women. She died in 1499 at the age of thirty. Robin writes: “Though a finished manuscript of Laura Cereta’s Epistolae familiares was already circulating amongst prominent scholars in Brescia, Verona, and Venice by 1488-92, her work remained outside the mainstream of humanist letters in her own lifetime and did not find a publisher until the middle of the seventeenth century. The mingling in her epistolary essays of themes characteristic of fifteenth-century humanist discourse with those anticipating modern feminism marks her work as different from that of any other writer of her time. Unlike the standard humanist letterbook of the period, which was geared to attract patrons by showcasing the author’s learning and social connections. Her book addressed family members and friends, an unusual proportion of them women. Many of her letters concern private, familial matters such as her difficult relationships with both her mother and her husband, subjects considered taboo in a humanist letterbook.” Also issued in paper.

It is a faithful sentence-by-sentence restatement of Dante’s spectacular Italian poetry in today’s clear English prose (based on the work of many translators), for the sake of the story that Dante has to tell us about our journey to joy.” She thanks Dorothy Sayers, John Ciardi, Allen M andelbaum, M ark M usa, Carlyle and Wicksteed, and many others.

9717 D’ARAGONA, Tullia [Diàlogo della infinità d’amore (1547)] Dialogue on the infinity of love. Tullia d’Aragona; edited and translated by Rinaldina Russell and Bruce Merry; introduction and notes by Rinaldina Russell. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 1997. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], 1-114 pp. Tullia d’Aragona (ca. 1510-1556) had the misfortune to be a talented woman born to the profession of courtesan at a time of economic decline and when church and governments were making a concerted effort to overcome the ethical laxity that had prevailed in Italy at the beginning of the sixteenth century. In her introduction, Rinaldina Russell notes: “Seen in the background of this conservative backlash, the Dialogue on the Infinity of Love displays its true significance as the attempt on the part of a woman, who was sexually liberated and accustomed to economic independence, to fight back the forces that were restraining her freedom and denying her very sense of self.” Aragona had the support of the influential Florentine man of letters Benedetto Varchi (1503-1565), and of her lover, and later literary agent, Girolamo M uzio (1496-1576), a soldier and writer in the service of Duke Ercole II d’Este. Her lyric poetry was published in Venice by Giolito, and a second edition

appeared in 1552. Concerning the Dialogo, Russell writes: “Stated in Platonic and Aristotelian terminology, the definition of human love given by Aragona represents a significant deviation from the prevailing theories of her times: she posits no sublimation of eros, as the Platonists did, no forsaking of human passion in favor of an experience that can be called speculative or spiritual. Human beings are made of body and soul, sense and intellect. If a relationship between a woman and a man is to be lasting, she argues, it must be based on the real nature of humankind. Honorable love is therefore to be viewed in terms of both sensual and intellectual needs. Sexual drives are irrepressible and blameless, she maintains; they become immoral only when unrestrained by reason.” Also issued in paper. KSM ,LC,UTL

Italian Literature before 1900 in English Translation

University of Chicago Press, 1997. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxvii, [1], 1-290, [2] pp. Cox writes: “M oderata Fonte’s The Worth of Women (Il merito delle donne), written around 1592 and published posthumously in 1600, is among the most original, as well as the most engaging, of all early modern writings by women. ... Written in dialogue form, the work purportedly records a conversation among seven Venetian noblewomen of widely varying age and experience, whose discussions, though loosely unified around the theme of men’s unjustifiable hostility to women and possible cures for it, range over almost every aspect of their lives, from wayward husbands’ vices to their views on education, from their literary tastes and aspirations to their favorite recipes for fish. Few literary works of the period give us such a vivid insight into the material and imaginative texture of women’s lives, and none, perhaps, is as deft in the connections it makes between cultural perceptions of women and the social realities in which they are rooted. ... To show women speaking at all, in this period, on such a wide range of scientific and cultural topics was a forceful indictment of the educational barriers that held women back from most areas of study.” M odesta Pozzo, who adopted the pen name M oderata Fonte, was born in 1555. She was a wealthy and respectable Venetian matron who died in childbirth at the age of thirty-seven. Cox notes: “it is less remarkable that [she] should have encountered obstacles in her writing that she should have written at all” in Venice, where “unmarried women of the upper ranks of society were kept in a seclusion no visitor could fail to remark on, and even married women appear to have participated only marginally in cultural life.” See also entry 0643.

9731 GALILEI, Galileo [Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo (1632). Selections] Galileo on the world systems: a new abridged translation and guide. Maurice A. Finocchiaro. Berkeley; Los Angeles; London: University of California Press, c1997. [5], vi-xi, [1], 1-425, [3] pp.: ill.; diagrams The reviews for this abridged translation were mixed. While William A. Wallace wrote: “Finocchiaro has done a superb job of presenting Galileo to the modern reader. The Dialogue is a work of extreme difficulty, requiring a compendious introduction, careful selection, translation and analysis of texts, and thoughtful evaluation of its impact on Western culture. With his well-known logical ability and a feel for pedagogy rare among scholars, Finocchiaro meets these demands in an exceptional way.” However, another commentator writes: “Galileo’s Dialogo gets lost amid the critical apparatus strangling this abridged translation. That apparatus includes a 70-page introduction, a 64-page appendix devoted to ‘critical reasoning,’ a 26-page glossary, and 508 real footnotes that take up at least a quarter of every page of the translation; the result is approximately two pages of commentary for each page of Galileo. Ordinarily, one is grateful for such detailed scholarly guidance, but here the editor forces the text into an intellectual procrustian bed that stifles Galileo’s lively original. ... The translated selections cover 38 percent of the original text; the choices are appropriate and the translation itself seems excellent, but prospective readers might be advised to read Stillman Drake’s 1967 translation of the whole work [entry 6729; first published in 1953, see entry 5323].” Also issued in paper.

9733 GILES, of Rome, Archbishop of Bourges [De regimine principum (before 1285)] The governance of kings and princes: John Trevisa’a Middle English translation of the De regimine principum of Aegidius Romanus. Edited by David C. Fowler, Charles F Briggs, and Paul G. Remley. New York; London: Garland Publishing, 1997. (Garland medieval texts; v. 19. Garland reference library of the humanities; v. 1778) [9], x-xxix, [3], 3-439, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims. The text volume will be accompanied by a second volume comprising an introduction, textual notes, and a glossary. John Trevisa (ca. 1342-1402) was a scholar of Oxford, vicar of Berkeley in Gloucestershire, and chaplain to Thomas IV, Lord Berkeley. His translation survives in one copy, the work of a single scribe, and correctors (Bodleian Library M S Digby 233, fols 1-182). Trevisa also made translations of Ranulph Higden’s Polichronicon (1387), and Bartholomaeus Anglicus’s De proprietatibus rerum (1398-99). The editors write: “ As a mirror for princes, De regimine principum would have provided an ideal text from which to draw arguments against the offending policies of a young king [Richard II], particularly from passages setting forth the distinction between a king and a tyrant. Such a translation, if it had become available in the 1390s, would also have been a useful resource for Thomas IV Lord Berkeley in 1399, when he was required to serve as baronial representative in the proceedings against Richard that would result in the king’s deposition.” LC,UTL

This book is supposedly the translation of a manuscript memoir by one Jacob d’Ancona, born in 1221, a Jewish merchant who reached China in 1271, that is, four years before M arco Polo. The East Asian scholar Jonathan Spence wrote a review for the New York Times that questioned the book’s authenticity, and Little Brown withdrew the book from U.S. publication. Selbourne has consistently declined to make the privately owned manuscript available for scrutiny. T. H. Barrett, in The London Review of Books, described the text as a forgery, while M elanie Philips in the Sunday Times supported its authenticity. Another commentator maintains that if the story is a forgery, then it is the most brilliant historical novel he has ever encountered. I have included this record for the first edition of the book.

Grennan writes: “The vagaries of translation are infinite: it all boils down to choices, to chosen solutions to essentially insoluble problems. What is asked of the responsible translator, I imagine, is a willingness to live a double life, to be committed in equal measure to two realities— the original poem, in its extraordinarily complex, integrated, and delicately orchestrated network of connections, and the poem the translator wants to write in his or her own language, which will be slowly pieced together until, with all its limitations, it possesses a life as equal to the whole life of the original as, for the moment, seems possible. In the end— as has been said about poems in general— a translation is ‘not finished but abandoned.’” Also issued in paper. LC,Michigan,UTL

(Biblioteca italiana; [9]) [8], ix, [1], 1-252, [10] pp. Gregory writes: “The letters of Alessandra M acinghi Strozzi [1407-1471] are among the richest and most revealing autobiographical materials to survive from fifteenth-century Florence. They reveal a woman who fought stubbornly to preserve her family’s property and position in adverse circumstances, and who was an acute observer of the political and social life of M edicean Florence. They tell the modern reader much about social and political status in this society, and about the concept of honor (onore), which could link the destinies of members of the same extended family or lineage. But perhaps their greatest importance lies in the fact that Alessandra Strozzi’s letters enable us to trace her inner life over a period of almost twenty-three years, revealing with great immediacy the anxiety and resignation, pain and sorrow, and (more rarely) joy and triumph with which she responded to the events through which she lived.” 35 of the 73 extant letters have been translated, either in full or in part.

Turnhout, Belgium: Brepols, c1998. (Repertorium Columbianum; v. 5) [11], xii-xiv, [3], 4-544, [2] pp. Eatough writes: “M artyr’s account of the New World is a partisan account. He claimed friendship with Columbus and also claimed at one point to be using Columbus’s manuscripts. ... As one traces the skilful way in which he presents the case for Columbus, one sees that what he omits is sometimes more important than what he includes; and it is not impossible that the first decade could have served as part of a concerted campaign on behalf of the Columbus brothers, and later of the Columbus family. ... Fortunately, however, the first decade is much more than a Columbus document. It contains information or stories on the Indians which appear for the first time with M artyr, or common stories related in a unique way by M artyr, making them indicators to a path of history which could have been different. M artyr and Columbus had shared, but not identical, interests. The Columbus enterprise was seriously flawed with its dual aims of extracting gold and converting the Indians. One demanded the exploitation, and ultimately extermination, of the native peoples; the other, the requirement to love them and respect them, if the conversion were to be morally acceptable.” Among the letters, M artyr’s first mention of Columbus is in a letter to Giovanni Borromeo of 14 M ay 1993.

They also seem to have surprisingly little to do with Christopher Columbus. The ‘Great Navigator’ himself appears only rarely and tangentially. If the point of this collection were to prove his Genoese origins and connections, a half-dozen excerpts would have done that conclusively. Nonetheless, this record is fundamentally important, both for the understanding of the east-west encounter and for establishing Columbus’s identity in a broad and meaningful way.

The editor notes that: “De Hollanda’s Portuguese manuscript was first edited 1899 in Vienna, and initially aroused enthusiastic attention, later rather caution and scepticism. The Editor investigated M ichelangelo’s statements from three angles: first, within the context of the contemporary art treatises (including Alberti’s and Leonardo’s); second, taking into consideration other statements by Michelangelo, which can be found in recognized sources; third, taking M ichelangelo’s artistic production into consideration. This investigation produced evidence as to how De Hollanda’s text was neither a case of plagiarism nor a fanciful invention of the Portuguese author, but a recollection of earlier conversations with M ichelangelo, which enrich our knowledge of his art theory.” At the time of the conversations M ichelangelo would have been 63 years old.

9830 FRANCO, Veronica [Works. Selections. English and Italian] Poems and selected letters. Veronica Franco; Edited and translated by Ann Rosalind Jones and Margaret F. Rosenthal. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 1998. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [8], ix-xxvi, 1-300, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. Veronica Franco (1546-1591) was the most distinguished Venetian courtesan of her time. She was a great beauty, a poet and, given the society of her time, a feminist. The editors write that the term ‘cortigiana’: “was derived form cotigiano, meaning a man who served at court, so it had connotations of splendor and technical or at least bureaucratic expertise. The addition of onesta meant ‘honored’ rather than ‘honest,’ that is,

privileged, wealthy, recognized. ... But it was in the interests of a woman aiming for the heights of this profession to insist on the high-cultural accomplishments that separated her from poorer, less educated, more vulnerable women in the sex trade. The cortigiana lived splendidly, she had an intellectual life, she played music and knew the literature of Greece and Rome as well as of the present, she mingled with thinkers, writers, and artists. Franco was remarkably successful at advertising these accomplishments, intended to attract elite clients and to raise her above less educated women selling sex. But what makes her interesting is that although she was by necessity an individualist making her own way, she also thought in a ‘we plural’ mode about women. As a courtesan, she wrote about the situation of women who shared her profession, and beyond that, she wrote about the situation of women in general.” The poems are given in Italian with parallel English translation; the first Italian edition was published in Venice in 1575 as Terze rime. The letters are in English translation only; they were first published in Venice in 1580 as Lettere familiare a diversi. Also issued in paper. CRRS,LC,M ichigan

Lanham, MD [etc.]: Rowman and Littlefield Publishers, c1998. [11], 2-171, [9] pp. The Discorso del modo di ordinare il governo popolo, also known as the Discorso di Logrogno, was written in the town of Logroño, on the river Ebro in northern Spain, while the young Guicciardini was Florentine ambassador to King Ferdinand of Aragon. His embassy, while an important apprenticeship for Guicciardini, had very little effect on the affairs of Florence: the Great Council, led by Gonfalonier Soderini, who had selected Guicciardini as his emissary, was abolished after the return of the Medici in 1512 (which also led to the dismissal, arrest, and exile of M achiavelli). The translation by M oulakis is the first into English of this important essay which, M oulakis argues, points to a distinctly modern idea of the republican state.

737 i, 18 pp. Guicciardini’s Ricordi were first published in 1857. The English translation by Ninian Hill Thomson (1891), was presumably the source for these selections. An article from the eleventh edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica commented: “If one single treatise of [the 16 th] century should be chosen to represent the spirit of the Italian people in the last phase of the Renaissance, the historian might hesitate between the Principe of M achiavelli and the Ricordi politici of Guicciardini. The latter is perhaps preferable to the former on the score of comprehensiveness. It is, moreover, more exactly adequate to the actual situation, for the Principe has a divine spark of patriotism yet lingering in the cinders of its frigid science, an idealistic enthusiasm surviving in its moral aberrations; whereas a great Italian critic of this decade has justly described the Ricordi as Italian corruption codified and elevated to a rule of life.

What they represent on the whole is the ordinary and the commonplace, as will be seen from their tendency to repeat the received wisdom on their text. But just because they are, by virtue of their function as textbook writers, purveyors of accepted norms of reading, they give us the best possible evidence about the way ancient literature was read and understood, and about gradual changes in these norms, which can be deduced from a comparison of their various prefaces and annotations.” LC,M ichigan,OCLC

Torino: UTET, 1992). James M . Saslow, writing in the Renaissance Quarterly (v. 52, no. 3, pp. 871-874) comments: “Unlike most other M ichelangelo translators, Nims was a poet in his own right, whose English renderings are generally fluid and clear despite the discipline of elaborate rhyme schemes. However, in numerous decisions about register of language, clarity of thought, and power of metaphor, he succumbs to the age-old temptation to ‘improve’ on the original in ways that obscure its distinctive tone. Often the additions make M ichelangelo more explicit and erudite than he was, silently fleshing out metaphors or incomplete thoughts and inventively gilding them. ... In matters of poetic diction, Nims leans the other way, eschewing formality to nudge, and sometimes shove, M ichelangelo’s vocabulary toward the slangy, abrupt, and colorful ... . These poems are good, but they’re not recognizable as M ichelangelo.” Also issued in paper in 2000. M ichigan,NYP,UTL

9857 MONTEVERDI, Claudio [Arianna (1608). Libretto] Arianna: lost opera by Monteverdi in eight scenes. Composed again by Alexander Goehr; original libretto by Ottavio Rinuccini; English translation by Margaret B. Stearns. Saint Louis, MO: Opera Theatre of Saint Louis, 1998. xiv, 34 pp. Virtually all of the original music is lost, except for Ariadne’s famous lament. The tragedy is based on the story of Theseus and Ariadne. John Whenham in Grove Music Online notes: “In the first instance, Rinuccini probably constructed his text as a continuous action, shaped into a prologue and five scenes, each ending with a formal chorus, corresponding to the structure of a classical tragedy. At a meeting on February 27, 1608, however, the Duchess of M antua pronounced the opera as it stood ‘very dry’ and required Rinuccini to provide additional material (probably the initial dialogue between Venus and Cupid, and elements of the spectacular finale). ... The lament in Arianna is different in kind from the laments in Monteverdi’s Orfeo, both in its length and in the fact that the repetition structures that M onteverdi uses are fully supported by Rinuccini’s text. It seems to have provided a model during the first third of the 17 th century for other operatic laments and for independent lament settings found in manuscript and published song collections.” OCLC

English and Latin] Syncretism in the West: Pico’s 900 theses (1486): the evolution of traditional religious and philosophical systems; with text, translation, and commentary by S. A. Farmer. Tempe, Arizona: Medieval & Renaissance Texts & Studies, 1998. (Medieval & Renaissance texts & studies; v. 167) [8], ix-xv, [3], 1-595, [3] pp.: facsims., tables. Farmer writes: “Pico published his theses in December 1486 as part of a grand plan to debate ‘all teachings’ and ‘all sects’ at Rome. Pico’s dispute, which was quickly banned by Pope Innocent VIII, was to be held the next year ‘in the apostolic senate’ — before the college of cardinals — with the pope himself envisioned as supreme judge. The enormous scope of Pico’s project reflected over three centuries of Western textual revivals amplified by the early printing revolution; whatever its omissions, Pico’s text covers a wider range of traditions than any other known fifteenth-century work. The nine hundred theses throw light on hundreds of philosophical and theological conflicts tied to the ‘warring schools’ of Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, and Latin scholasticism; on Renaissance NeoPlatonism and classicism (or so-called humanism) in general, in both of which Pico played a major part; on natural magic, numerology, astrology, Kabbalah, and related esoteric traditions, in which Pico’s Renaissance influences were large; and on scores of other topics tied to the complex traditions of the period. If any one text provides a handbook of late fifteenthcentury thought, it is this one; indeed, Pico promises a discussion ‘of everything knowable’ (de omni re scibili) at more than one point in this work. It was no accident that Pico’s text was the first printed book banned universally by the church.” CRRS,OCLC,UTL

to the pleasure and health of homo edens. Caught somewhere between cookbook and apothecary’s manual, the DHVV experiments with genres and recipes. As a cookbook it disappoints by having omitted significant steps in the recipes derived from the Libro de arte coquinaria of M artino de Rossi and by contemplating the preparation of great dishes simultaneously with all their digestive results. This suggests a certain wisdom in not taking too ready liberty with genres. For after whetting our appetite for an attractive dish, Platina immediately indulges in his obsession with digestive functions. He, for instance, regales the reader with information from Pliny’s Natural History about the origins, production, and kinds of pepper, only to conclude that it ‘warms the stomach and liver, is harmful to the bilious, releases and drives wind from the bowels and moves the urine.’” Rutherford concludes: “Every aspect of [M ilham’s edition] shows careful attention to accuracy while setting both the parts and the whole in their larger cultural and historical context, connecting them to the fortunes and vicissitudes of Platina’s life. M ilham has opened for us an important window on the culture of Quattrocento Italy and Renaissance Rome.” For a note on Platina, see entry 7557. CRRS,LC,UTL

In his review for the Sixteenth Century Journal (v. 31, no. 1, 2000), David Rutherford writes: “Food and talk of food reveals any culture at its most ridiculous and sublime. Through food, humans show sensibility and responsibility: they declare their relationships with plants and animals, they please or anger their gods, and they gauge or engage their neighbors. Accordingly, Platina’s De honesta voluptate et valetudine attends as much to the character of plants and animals eaten as

Pulci (1432-1484) came from a once-prosperous Florentine family. Ernest Hatch Wilkins writes: “He was born to be merry; no one ever perceived more gleefully the endless laughableness of human beings and their ways, and no one ever found funnier words and combinations of words to display that laughableness for the amusement of his companions.” (1954: 158) Lorenzo de’ M edici nevertheless trusted him with responsible missions, after he had won the attention and favour of Lucrezia Tornabuoni de’ M edici, Lorenzo’s mother, in or about 1460. And, Andrea di Tommaso notes in the Dictionary of Italian Literature: “It was she who, soon after his introduction into the M edici circle, commis-sioned him to sing of the deeds of Charlemagne, thereby leading to the creation of his comic epic masterpiece, Il Morgante.” (1979: 423) M ichigan,NYP,UTL

[1], ii-iii, [1], 1-190pp. The texts of the dances, given in English translation only, are by Domenico da Piacenza (d. ca. 1470), Antonio Cornazzano (1429-1484), and Guglielmo Ebreo da Pesaro (ca. 1420-ca. 1481). The translator’s full name is David Raoul Wilson. He writes: “The translations presented here are intended for the student of fifteenth-century Italian dancing who is not equipped to deal with fifteenth-century Italian language. No translation can furnish a complete and satisfactory substitute for the original source, especially with regard to textual analysis, but it can still serve some useful purposes. It will bring the reader a good deal closer to the character and mode of expression of the source material than any edited performing version will do, and it will provide access to the substantial majority of dances for which no performing version has yet been devised and published. ... This is what I mean by a ‘critical translation’: I intend to evaluate the sources, not only as a literary tradition, but also as a performing tradition, and I shall always be wondering how the movements described are going to work on the floor.” Spiral binding.

[4], 1-55, [5] pp. Watkins writes: “What Alberti discusses ... is not the content of an education, but the results, the outcome in a costbenefit sense. There are heavy costs to the individual and, he contends, even if one chooses a career in law or medicine, no worldly advantages at all. For the world the results of an individual acquiring knowledge from books are of inestimable value, but the world does not reward him. Neither the professions nor teaching at any level make men prosperous and respected. What scholarly activity does is wear out the student with anxiety and labor, unless, Alberti says, one perverts erudition to serve the selfish and often criminal purposes of other men, and even then one is likely to remain poor. Therefore, to seek worldly advantages from one’s pursuit of learning, as many do, is both unethical and almost always futile. ... Throughout the treatise he suggests that intellectuals often deceive themselves as to their own needs and purposes.” Issued in paper. M AS,OCLC

That this work, in both the original and translation, represented a more truly objective, impartial recitation of actual events; that this history served as the basic source for many later ones; that Botta’s work was obviously aimed at a world audience, and more specifically perhaps to the weary but aspiring people of Italy and Europe; that Otis worded hia translation more for the delectation of a confident and ebullient American people.

Draghici writes that: “Campanella was a poet at heart, sensitive to the miraculous, and a visionary whose views were tempered and sharpened by the sufferings inflicted by man on man. He is the greatest poet that Italy gave during that age, and it is in the redemptive qualities of his poetry, in which he truly believed, that his modernity is most apparent. ... The original book, from which the present sonnets and the song were taken and translated, had been conceived by Campanella as a sort of compendium of his ruminations from prison, by means of which he wanted to influence and alter minds and conduct, in preparation for a new era.” Issued in paper.

Claire Walker writes (see Elizabeth Evelinge, 2002): “Written in 1438 the [Seven Spiritual Weapons] was ostensibly for [Catherine’s] novices: she was novice mistress [of the Poor Clares in Bologna] at the time. Yet amidst the advice about how to conquer the self and reject temptation, there is a strong autobiographical strain This emerges clearly in the seventh weapon, or arrow — the ‘authority of the holy scripture’ — where, adopting the anonymity of the third person, she explains the tests and temptations of the spiritual life. ... According to the Spiritual Weapons, Catharine resolved all dilemmas mystically in a series of visions and dreams, and the rich imagery they invoke colours the final chapter of her work, and feeds into the healing dreams and visions which characterize her posthumous miracles. These images were also to find form in her work as an illustrator and artist. Whereas Catharine’s contemporaries praised her sanctity, modern scholars focus primarily on her literary, artistic and musical skills.” Catherine (1413-1463) is the patron saint of artists. She was born into an aristocratic Bolognese family, and her father was a diplomatic agent of the M arquis of Ferrara. At the age of eleven, she was appointed maid of honour to the daughter of the M arquis and shared her training and education. When the daughter eventually married, she wanted Catherine to remain in her service, but Catherine left the court and became a Franciscan Tertiary at the age of fourteen. She returned to Bologna in 1456 when her Superiors and the Governors of Bologna requested that she be the founder and M other Superior of a convent of the Poor Clares.

Heller. Lewiston: Queenston; Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press, c1999. (Jewish studies; v. 19) [8], v-xvi, 1-189, [3] pp. De Rossi (1742-1831) spent his career as professor of Oriental languages at the University of Padua. His works were concentrated the typography and history of the Hebrew book, bibliography of the Hebrew book, and textual variants in the Hebrew Bible. In the course of his long life he acquired a library consisting of about 1700 manuscripts and 1442 early printed books, including 90 incunabula. In 1816 it was bought for the Grand Ducal Library at Parma (now the Palatine Library) by M arie Louise, Duchess of Palma, the wife of Napoleon I and daughter of Emperor Francis II of Austria. It is considered the foremost collection of Hebrew books in Italy. De Rossi’s Dizionario was translated into German in the 1840s, and into English as De Rossi’s Dictionary of Hebrew Authors by M ayer Sulzberger (1843-1923), serialized from 1867 through 1869 in the journal Occidental.

Though much of Galileo’s correspondence has survived, his letters to his daughter, Sister M aria Celeste (1600-1634), have not. In The Crime of Galileo, Giorgio de Santillana notes: “The loss of the father’s letters is an irreparable literary loss, for he told her everything, but even through the mirrored reflection in her writing we know more about his life in that period [the eight years following the sentence of 1616, which Santillana characterises as the ‘years of silence’] than about any other. ... Her own letters give us back the ways and sounds of Tuscan country life as scarcely any others.” (1962: 155). Part of Suor M aria Celeste’s correspondence, from her poor country convent in Arcetri, was translated by M ary Allen Olney and published in 1870 as The Private Life of Galileo through the Letters of Sister Maria Celeste.

(The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxvii, [1], 1-200, [4] pp. Lucrezia M arinella (1571-1653) was praised highly in her own lifetime for her learning, for her writing, and for her musical skills. Panizza comments: “She was born into a professional family that encouraged her studies; she was not forced to enter the convent (like her contemporary Arcangela Tarabotti, 1604-1652); neither was she pressured into early marriage nor did she die in childbirth (like her predecessor M oderata Fonte, 1555-92). She lived a long and relatively comfortable life, dying at the almost unheard-of age of eightytwo. ... Despite the fame bestowed on her by her publications, her own life was lives in seclusion — the norm, it must be said, for a Venetian woman of her social rank, regardless of intellectual status.” Her polemic La nobiltà et eccellenza delle donne first appeared in 1600, as a response to Giuseppe Passi’s Dei donneschi difetti (On Womanly Defects), published in 1599. A second edition, with fifteen added chapters, appeared in 1601. The second part of M arinella’s treatise deals with the defects and vices of men. Also issued in paper. CRRS,USL,UTL

9964 MOROSINI, Antonio [Cronaca Morosini (early 15th c.). English and Italian (Venetian dialect)] The Morosini Codex. Volume I: to the death of Andrea Dandolo (1354) [II: Marino Falier to Antonio Venier (1354-1400); III: Michele Stenno (to 1407)]. Edited by Michele Pietro Ghezzo, John R. Melville-Jones, Andrea Rizzi. Padova: Unipress, c1999-2005. (Archivio del Litorale Adriatico; 3) 3 v. ([4], v-xxi, [2], 2-151, [3]; [4], v-ix, [2], 2210, [4]; [4], v-vii, [2], 2-261, [3] pp.): facsim. The editors note that the M orosini Codex: “is unique because it is the largest surviving autograph example of Venetian writing of the first part of the 15 th century. For this reason it is a precious reservoir of information for students of the development of the languages of Italy. It is also of great historical importance, because about three-quarters of the text consists of an account of major events taking place in Venice and elsewhere in Europe and other parts of the M editerranean. These are reported at the time when they occurred, or when

news of them reached Venice. ... It should be noted that M orosini does not simply repeat the information which is available in official Venetian documents. He records minor happenings of which no records would otherwise survive, reports rumours which even if they were later proved to be wrong, will have for a while have had as much force as the truth, and in the case of major events sometimes preserves the texts of private letters which never found their way into the state archives.” M orosini, who was probably born about 1365, was a member of the Senate and of one of Venice’s leading families (his father M arco was the brother of the M ichele M orosini who was doge in 1382). He was thus well placed to gather news and information from all quarters, and according to the editors he recorded it faithfully. Text in Venetian dialect, with the English translation by M elville-Jones and Rizzi on facing pages. A transcription of the manuscript copy in the Biblioteca Marciana, Venice, M s. Cl. It.

Felling, Tyne and Wear: Worley Publications, with Brigade Library, 1999. 284 pp.: ill.; maps. This reprint is based on the complete edition of Memoirs of General Pepe, published in three volumes by Richard Bentley in 1846. The Italian edition was published in the same year. Pepe (1783-1855) was a soldier and Italian patriot, born at Squillace in Calabria. He served with distinction in Napoleon’s army, under Joseph Napoleon, and M urat. After the fall of Napoleon, Pepe served the kingdom of Naples, now ruled by Ferdinand IV. While suppressing brigandage in the Capitanata (in the current province of Foggia, in Apulia), Pepe organized the carbonari, the revolutionary society, into a national militia, and was preparing them for political purposes. His involvement in patriotic movements against the absolute monarchies earned him exile in England and France in the years after1821, and in Turin, where he spent his last years, after the revolution of 1848.

(Publications of the Barnaby Riche Society; v. 11) [11], 12-188, [4] pp. An edition of the English translation first published in 1550. The editors note: “Compared to many other translations, the English version of Aeneas’ text produced in 1550 represents a very faithful reproduction of the original. The storyline is essentially unaltered, the characters remain untouched and the moral message is preserved. The prose is, moreover, remarkably close to the Latin in both language and syntax; so much so, in fact, that at times it may be difficult for twentieth-century readers to construe. There are, of course, some alterations ... some more significant than others. Nevertheless, had Aeneas been able to read this translation, he would have found it a very familiar work.” Also issued in paper. See also entry 2951.

The publisher notes: “During his second stint as regent master of theology at the University of Paris in 1269-1272, Thomas Aquinas fulfilled the threefold magisterial task: legere, disputare, praedicare — to lecture, to dispute, to preach. On Virtues in General and On the Cardinal Virtues are two series of disputed questions which date from this period. In them Thomas, at the height of his powers and under the pressure of the raging dispute over Aristotle, discusses the central features of his moral doctrine, virtue. During the same period he was composing his commentary on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics and completing the moral part of the Summa Theologiae.” LC,STAS,UTL

(Penguin classics) [4], v-xxxv, [1], 1-520, [4] pp.: facsim. In his review of this new translation in New Vico Studies 17

(1999), Donald Phillip Verene supports the translation of Bergin and Fisch (see 1948, etc), and suggests that the reason for the new traanslation may be principally economic: “Given the enormous contemporary interdisciplinary interest in Vico’s ideas, the ground for marketing a new edition exists. As part of the Penguin Classics series it will get the attention of those general readers throughout the English-speaking world who browse in bookstores.” Verene identifies a number of errors in Grafton’s introduction and M arsh’s translation, and comments: “Translating Vico’s prose is not easy. Translating Vico’s terminology is easy. Understanding Vico’s prose and his terminology is difficult, as difficult as understanding any thinker of the first order in the history of thought. The idea of the ‘modern reader’ [M arsh’s intended audience] cannot provide a standard for the translation of the New Science or any text that is based on a strong philosophical terminology. ... The modern reader must come to terms with Vico’s own terminology or risk never reaching what Vico says. Ultimately the text must provide the standard for the translation. There is no way the modern reader can provide it.” Issued in paper. See also entry 4845, with a note. BPL,USL,UTL

The translator notes that this edition is “intended for the use of practicing classical architects and students of classical architecture.” As he worked on the translation, he writes: “Gradually I started appreciating the little treatise precisely for those reasons that many other people had dismissed it. Its formalism appealed to me; in Vignola’s straightforward concern for shapes I saw the theoretical purity that our contemporary architectural writings so often lack. I learned to see in it much more than a manual. I think that the battle for modern classicism has to be fought and won in architectural theory first, and because of this I believe that the greatest attributes of Vignola’s treatise are that it not only teaches how one should use the orders but why one should use them as well.” The volume includes facsimiles of 32 plates from the 1572 edition.

The foreword notes: “On 20 M arch 1800, an Italian scientist sent a letter in French from Austrian-controlled Lombardy to Sir Joseph Banks, the president of the Royal Society of London, for publication. The author, himself a member of the Society and the recipient five years earlier of its highest honour, the Copley medal, claiming nothing less than the invention of a device producing ‘perpetual’ electrical motion. He called it an ‘artificial electric organ.’ In this surprising way the fifty-five year old Alessandro Volta, for twenty-two years professor of experimental physics at the University of Pavia, communicated to the world the possibility of producing stable electrical

761 currents. His invention was to change the way of life on this planet. ... The importance of Volta’s paper can scarcely be overestimated. For the first time, steady currents of electricity could be produced readily, a major improvement over the powerful but rapidly disappearing discharges of static electricity. The device that produced the current was very simple: even Volta’s students could build their own using copper and silver coins. A new, wide range of phenomena immediately came to light. William Nicholson, the editor of the Philosophical M agazine, used the pile to decompose water into its then recently identified constituents, hydrogen and oxygen. Later, Oersted, Ampère, Ohm, and Faraday used Volta’s ‘batteries’ in their epoch-making research.” Issued in paper. LC,OCLC,UTL

Edwin M uir writes: “This magnificent little book offers the best portrait available of a typical peasant’s life before modern times. Benedetto, a Sienese peasant, was a thoroughly unexceptional man, but the fortuitous survival of his two farming diaries has made it possible for us to have a glimmer of insight into the lives of all those unexceptional men and women who remain without a history.” Benedetto, who could read but not write, asked various literate acquaintances to write down for him the details of his family affairs. This English translation is an abridged and revised version of the Italian edition published in Florence by Libreria Salimbeni.

The 69 readings in this compilation are almost all translated from Italian sources.

The writers given the most space among the more than fifty Italian contributors are Giambattista M arino, Tommaso Campanella, and Giambattista Vico. The series editor for A Documentary History of Naples, Ronald G. M usto, writes: “As befits the period, [Chenault Porter’s] book focuses on Naples as a cultural capital, one whose brilliant achievements in the arts and letters belied — and to an extent masked — the profound social, economic, and political problems of the kingdom of Naples and of the Ancien Régime throughout Europe. These would come to a crisis in the wake of the French Revolution and prepare the way for a century of ‘marginalization’ from which the city is only now emerging. Thus, while no one can ignore the deep structural shortcomings of the city and its kingdom during the two centuries covered in [this] volume, so too no one can deny the essential truth that the years 1600 to 1800 were indeed, ‘the Golden Age of Naples.’” Issued in paper.

The first issue of the first volume of Noffke’s edition of the entire corpus of Catherine’s letters, in translation, was published in 1988 (see entry 8807). For this new edition, Noffke has attempted to date all of the letters by an analysis of approximately three thousand linguistic patterns detected in the corpus and analysed using a text-retrieval programme, because, as she writes: “As I pursued the work ... I began to scrutinize Catherine’s thought and style more intensely. Especially, as I annotated the letters, I realized that it was impossible to place any of her ideas or images within a context of her own development as long as any of her works remained totally undated.” The second volume was published in 2001, and the third volume in 2007; the letters of 1379 and 1380 are still to come.

In his preface, Collett notes: “Within its social ethos, this slender but significant correspondence reveals a large measure of empathy and mutual respect, combined with a common imaginative sensitivity to religion, and to art, as expressive of realities beyond this world. [Vittoria and M arguerite] were part of a reform-minded group that included artisans, monastics, and even members of the ecclesiastical hierarchy which expressed strong criticism of the church as an institution and desired its renewal.” Issued in paper.

In 1876, John Fiske wrote: “Fidelity to the text of the original has been [Longfellow’s] guiding principle, and every one must admit that, in carrying out that principle, he has achieved a degree of success alike delightful and surprising. The method of literal translation is not likely to receive a more splendid illustration. It is indeed put to the test in such a way that the shortcomings now to be noticed bear not upon Mr. Longfellow’s own style of work so much as upon the method itself with which they are necessarily implicated. These defects are, first, the too frequent use of syntactic inversion, and secondly, the too manifest preference extended to words of Romanic over words of Saxon origin.” Issued in paper. LC,OCLC

For the 67 cantos not translated in extenso, summaries have been provided in the proper places, to provide continuity. ...

A translation with introduction and notes by Santa Casciani and Christopher Kleinhenz. Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, c2000. (William and Katherine Devers series in Dante studies; [v. 4]) [6], vii-ix, [3], 3-558 pp. The publisher states: “This is the first English translation of Il Fiore, the late-thirteenth-century narrative poem in 232 sonnets based on the Old French Roman de la Rose, and the Detto d’Amore, a free-wheeling version of many Ovidian precepts of love in 240 rhymed couplets. The elaborate allegory of the Fiore presents the complex workings of love, understood primarily as carnal passion, in the human psyche through the use of personification of a wide array of characters who engage in various social (and bellic) interactions. ... The Detto d’Amore includes features of the perennial controversy between proponents of the pleasures of erotic passion and those who counsel pursuit of the sublime joys found solely in the exercise

of reason. ... The importance of these two works lies in part in their possible attribution to the great Florentine poet Dante Alighieri. But even if Dante is not the author, the Fiore is a valuable witness to the literary taste and cultural concerns of medieval Italy and to matters of poetic influence and reception among different literary traditions.” For another translation of Il Fiore, see 2004.

In his note on the translation, Robert Hollander writes: “‘Reader, this is an honest book.’ M ontaigne says this of his Essays. We would like to say the same of this translation. We have tried to bring Dante into our English without being led into the temptation of making the translation sound better than the original allows. ... This is not Dante, but an approximation of what he might authorize had he been looking over our shoulders, listening to our at times ferocious arguments. We could go on improving this effort as long as we live. We hope that as much as we have accomplished will find an understanding ear and heart among those who know the real thing. ... The accuracy of the translation from the Italian text established by Giorgio Petrocchi (1966-67) has been primarily my responsibility, its sound as English verse primarily that of the poet Jean Hollander, my wife and collaborator.” For the Los Angeles Times Book Review, R. W. B. Lewis commented: “Among the new versions if Inferno, that of the Hollanders is probably the most finely accomplished and may well prove the most enduring. The sheer versatility of the Hollanders’ translation is especially notable. Bernard Knox, for the New York Review of Books, notes: “This new version of Dante’s Inferno ... is accompanied by a detailed, brilliant commentary that is itself worth the price of the volume. ... For the student of Dante this book is not only an indispensable guide, it is also an intellectual feast.” M ichigan,TRIN,UTL

Daniel M endelsohn, in The New York Times Book Review, wrote: “In the foreword to his new translation, Merwin, a distinguished poet who over a long career has been responsible for nearly 20 translations from at least six other tongues, writes feelingly of his 30-year obsession with the poem. And indeed, the flaws as well as the virtues of his new rendering may be said to stem from a profound reverence for the original. In M erwin’s translation you can lose the forest for the trees; he often finds an exact equivalent for each Italian word in a given passage, without, however, conveying the overall color, rhythm and even sense. He reproduces rather than reconfigures, and the result is verse that is frequently stilted and sometimes incomprehensible. ... Merwin’s occasional tendency to transcribe rather than translate can be particularly damaging in the substantive passages that convey the heart of Dante’s moral and theological vision.” LC,M ichigan,UTL

0047 Duccio di Buoninsegna: the documents and early sources. Jane Immler Satkowski; edited and with an introduction by Hayden B. J. Maginnis; William U. Eiland, General Editor, Issues in the history of art. [Athens, GA]: Georgia Museum of Art, University of Georgia, c2000. (Issues in the history of art; 5) [6], 7-234 pp.: ill. Documents in Italian and Latin with English translations. Satkowski notes: “English translations have been provided for all the Duccio documents. In the Sources chapters, only material in Latin has been translated [by Emily Rush and M organ Stuart]. The volume draws together all the contemporary documentation concerning Duccio’s life and works, all notices of the painter in Sienese chronicles, and both published and unpublished secondary sources to the middle of the 19 th century.” Duccio (active 1278-1319) was the leading painter of Siena during the late 13th and early 14 th centuries. Little is known of his life. The Oxford Companion to Art notes: “Although Duccio was not a revolutionary like his Florentine contemporary Giotto [ca. 1267-1337], in the realm of panel painting (as opposed to frescoes) he was unsurpassed as a narrator. As no one else before him he succeeds in making the setting of a scene — a room or a slope — a dramatic constituent of the action, so that figures and surroundings are intimately bound up together.” (1970: 334) Issued in an edition of 1000 copies.

Robin writes: “By the end of the fifteenth century, Cassandra Fedele [1465?-1558] was perhaps the best-known female scholar and humanist living in Europe. Kings and queens courted her. Poets, university professors and churchmen sought her imprimatur for their work. Celebrity came to her before she was twenty-five, yet by the time she was thirty-three her days in the limelight were over. ... Her book of collected letters — the obligatory humanist oeuvre — survives only in a single printed edition [published in 1636].” Her correspondents included Bartolomeo Scala, Giovanni Pico della M irandola, Angelo Poliziano, and Beatrice d’Este and her husband Lodovico Sforza, the duke of M ilan.

All changes have been made in order to remain faithful to the spirit of M aria Celeste’s letters and to make their multiple references clear. I hope this translation will allow the reader an appreciative insight into the real character of a memorable seventeenth-century woman and provide an illuminating glimpse into the ordinary and extraordinary lives of many people who chanced to witness one of the most important events in the intellectual history of humankind.” The edition and translation by Dava Sobel, published in 2001 by Walker (New York) and by Fourth Estate (London), was markedly more successful in terms of distribution and sales (see entries 0136-7, with note).

Bibliography 2000 Oklahoma Press, c2000. (The American exploration and travel series; v. 78) [7], viii-x, [5], 4-240, [4] pp.: ill.; facsims., maps, ports. Translated from a manuscript in the Biblioteca civica Angelo M ai in Bergamo. Ilarione (1727?-1778) was a Capuchin friar who lived and travelled in M exico from 1763 to 1768. The recent discovery of his manuscript makes a valuable addition to the firsthand literature of colonial M exico. The editors write: “Fra Ilarione spent several years in silver mining towns north of M exico City. He also lived in the capital for some months and journeyed to Guadalajara before returning to Italy. His narrative provides unique information about many aspects of M exican life in the second half of the eighteenth century. ... From an early date the Capuchin friars undertook missions to Africa, America, and Asia. Capuchin missionaries were active in Bengal, Bhutan, India, and Nepal in the eighteenth century, and from 1708 to 1745 a small group of Capuchin friars preached in Lhasa, the capital of Tibet. ... Between 1760 and 1768, Propoganda Fide sent seven Capuchins to New Spain to collect alms for the Tibet missions. One of the fund raisers was Ilarione da Bergamo. ... Fra Ilarione’s seven-year mission to New Spain was certainly the most memorable phase in an otherwise unremarkable career. In 1770 Ilarione began composing an account of his journey to the New World, entitled Viaggio al Messico (Journey to Mexico), which totals 293 manuscript leaves. Written in a very meticulous script, clearly the product of a disciplined monastic hand, the manuscript also includes two hand-drawn maps, two sketches of Indian huts, and thirty-eight illustrations of native plants — all in color ... . Given the precise dating of many events, the numbers of crewmen and passengers aboard ships, and the highly detailed drawings of M exican flora, Ilarione’s account was undoubtedly based on notes, letters, or diaries and sketches since lost.” ERI,LC,UTL

0066 JORIO, Andrea de [La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano (1832)] Gesture in Naples and gesture in classical antiquity. Andrea de Jorio: a translation of La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano, Gestural expression of the ancients in the light of Neapolitan gesturing, and with an introduction and notes by Adam Kendon. Bloomington; Indianapolis: Indiana University Press, 2000. (Advances in semiotics) [8], ix-cvii, [8], 4-517, [3] pp.: ill.: facsims., port. Kendon writes: “Andrea de Jorio’s La mimica degli antichi investigata nel gestire napoletano ... published in Naples in 1832, is one of the first books ever to have been written about gesture from what today might be called an ethnographic point of view. Although one of its main purposes was to serve as a guide for a method of interpretation of the monuments of antiquity, because, for de Jorio, this required a thorough knowledge of contemporary Neapolitan gestural expression, he found it necessary to give an extensive account of this. As a result, it is the first treatise on gesture devoted to the description of the gestural expressions of a specific cultural group. Furthermore, since de Jorio believed that gesture cannot be understood except in its contexts of use, he also provided much information about the everyday circumstances of Neapolitan life in which gesture was used. It is therefore a book of considerable interest today for scholars who are concerned with gesture and other forms of human expression from both cultural and semiotic perspectives.” The illustrations are reproduced in facsimile from the Italian edition of 1832.

the lethargy and depression that had always threatened him. But he did more as well. He made his life, until the end, a conscious performance and a continuous act of reflection on the problems that had gripped him since his troubled, isolated youth. Nothing that he built of stone expressed Alberti’s ideals more fully than his lifelong effort to create a rich and responsive social world: to make, out of the rhetoric he prized so deeply, not only an art of composition, but a model for all forms of intellectual and artistic community.” Colour endpapers and frontispiece portrait.

0083 MOLETTI, Giuseppe [Works. Selections. Italian and English] The unfinished mechanics of Giuseppe Moletti: an edition and English translation of his Dialogue on mechanics, 1576. W. R. Laird. Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2000. [7], viii, [7], 4-222, [6] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims. Giuseppe M oletti (1531-1588) was a mathematician and scholar who ended his career at the University of Padua. M ost of his works, including this Dialogue on Mechanics, were left

Bibliography 2000 unfinished at his death. The Dialogue survives as one complete manuscript (Biblioteca Ambrosiana M S. S 100 sup., ff 294r318r) and two fragments, one of which is in M oletti’s hand. It is written in dialogue form in Italian for a “courtly and practical audience,” but was left unfinished when M oletti quit the Gonzaga court at M antua to take up the mathematics chair at the University of Padua. Laird writes: “Unlike Galileo after him, M oletti did not conceive of a separate science of motion to be founded on mathematical principles, as were astronomy, optics, and — of course — mechanics, and he probably lacked both the mathematical sophistication and the experimental temperament to create one.” He anticipated Galileo in asserting that all heavy bodies, whatever their weights, fall with equal speeds, and came close to formulating a law of inertia. The Dialogue is based on the then recently discovered pseudo-Aristotelian Mechanical Problems. Laird writes: “In the First Day of the Dialogue on Mechanics Moletti attempted in a series of rigorous mathematical theorems to establish the Euclidean foundations of the principle of Aristotelian mechanics, and thus to realize in fact the status of mechanics as a mathematical science subalternated to geometry.” CRRS,LC,UTL

The only Italian selection for this extensive anthology is by Lorenzo Da Ponte, best known as M ozart’s lyricist, who spent the last decades of his life in the United States. It is his pamphlet Storia americana, ossia, Il lamento (Poet’s lament), published in New York in 1835. Da Ponte provides his own translation, whose verses, Alide Cagidemetrio points out: “diverge from the original in stressing the drama of counterposition between the sorrowful yet dignified old poet and his ungrateful and forgetful American friends.” The friends had failed to support him in his attempt to establish Italian opera in New York.

779 0086 The Neapolitan recipe collection (New York, Pierpont Morgan Library, MS Bühler, 19). Cuoco napoletano; a critical edition and English translation by Terence Scully; initially with the collaboration of Rudolf Grewe. Ann Arbor: The University of Michigan Press, c2000. [5], vi, [3], 2-256 pp.: facsim. This edition includes the recipes, commentary on the recipes, and the translation. The introduction states: “The script of this codex relates it roughly to the middle of second half of the fifteenth century. The watermarks in its paper likewise point to the second half of this century. Its contents ... belong to the same period and show an affinity with culinary practice in the region of Naples. Finally, the language in which the recipes are written is not incompatible with the dating that is suggested by the other evidence; as do a good number of the recipes themselves, the language also points to an area of Italy that was influenced by Catalan culture: Naples. No extant evidence would seem to invalidate a conjecture that the manuscript Bühler 19 was written during the second half of the fifteenth century in or about the Aragon court at Naples.” M ichigan,UTL

0097 RICCOBONI, Bartolomea [Cronaca del Corpus Domini; Necrologia del Corpus Domini (after 1436)]

781 Life and death in a Venetian convent: the Chronicle and Necrology of Corpus Domini, 1395-1436. Sister Bartolomea Riccoboni; edited and translated by Daniel Bornstein. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2000. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxvii, [1], 1-115, [1] pp.: ill.; plan. Bartolomea Riccoboni entered the new convent of Corpus Domini in Venice at the age of 25 in 1394. The convent accepted girls and women from the upper reaches of Venetian society. Bornstein writes: “She recorded the life of that community in her native Venetian dialect ... though her prose is also sprinkled with words and phrases from the Latin liturgy [that the sisters] sang and recited. She told their story in two guises, in paired literary forms: a chronicle and a necrology. The necrology provides brief biographies of nearly fifty women who died in the convent between 1395 and 1436. The chronicle, in contrast, recounts the history of their collective enterprise, starting with the foundation of Corpus Domini in the late fourteenth century. It offers a vivid picture of life in a cloistered community, a small world bound physically by the convent wall and organized temporally by the rhythms of work and worship. ... I have sought to produce a translation that is faithful to Sister Bartolomea’s Venetian Italian and that also reads smoothly and naturally in English.” Also issued in paper. CRRS,USL,UTL

0098 ROCCO, Antonio [Alcibiade fanciullo a scola (1652)] Alcibiades the schoolboy. Antonio Rocco; translated by J. C. Rawnsley; [afterword by D. H. Mader]. Amsterdam: Entimos, 2000. [4], 5-120 pp.: ill. Antonio Rocco (1576-1653) was born in the Abruzzi, studied rhetoric and philosophy at Rome, Perugia and Padua, and settled in Venice, where he taught philosophy. His pederastic novel was written in 1630, and published anonymously in 1652. It was immediately suppressed (as it was again when it was republished in 1862). The identity of its author was only established in 1888; before this Alcibiade fanciullo a scola had been thought to be the work of Pietro Aretino, or Ferrante Pallavicino. Scholars have suggested that the book was intended as a parody of academic discourse, and also as a satirical “Carnival book,” as well as being a consciously-intended work of pornography.

00100 Romeo and Juliet before Shakespeare: four early stories of star-crossed love. By Masuccio Salernitano, Luigi da Porto, Matteo Bandello, and Pierre Boaistuau; translated, with an introduction and notes, by Nicole Prunster. Toronto: Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies, 2000. (Publications of the Centre for Reformation and Renaissance Studies. Renaissance and Reformation texts in translation; 8) [11], 2-127, [1] pp.: plans. M asuccio’s plot summary for novella 33 from the Novellino reads: “M ariotto from Siena, in love with Ganozza, flees to Alexandria after becoming a murderer. Ganozza pretends to be dead and, having been taken out of her tomb, goes in search of her lover. M ariotto, having heard of Ganozza’s death, seeks his own death by returning to Siena. He is recognised, captured, his head cut off. Ganozza returns to Siena where she learns her lover has been beheaded. She dies of grief embracing his body.” In Da Porto’s version, set in Verona, the lovers are Romeo and Giulietta, and their contending families the Montecchi and the Capelletti, whose enmity ends with the death of the lovers. Bandello, at the end of his version, notes that the peace did not last long.

Bibliography 2000 SCALABRINI, Giovanni Battista [Works. Selections] For the love of immigrants: migration writings and letters of Bishop John Baptist Scalabrini (18391905). Edited with an introduction by Archbishop Silvano M. Tomasi, C.S. 1st ed. New York: Center for Migration Studies, 2000. [7], viii-xxx, [2], 1-359, [1] pp. For a note on Scalabrini, see entry 7262. The editor of this selection from his works notes: “The translation of Bishop Scalabrini’s writings is often complicated by his public style, full of abstract and even redundant expressions, that contemporary ecclesiastical rhetoric demanded. Instead his private correspondence reflects his personality: practical, incisive and essential. ... Transatlantic migrations at the end of the nineteenth century were dominated by southern and eastern Europeans among whom the Italians were the largest group. The arrival of these immigrants brought a different style of Catholicism. While this volume contributes to the understanding of the process of religious adaptation, both at the institutional and personal levels, it would have been more complete if the detailed letters were added that the Reverend Francesco Zaboglio as his representative regularly sent back to Bishop Scalabrini from the various American cities where the ‘new immigrants’ settled.” LC,M ichigan,OCLC

00108 TASSO, Torquato [Aminta (1581). English and Italian] Aminta: a pastoral play. By Torquato Tasso; edited and translated by Charles Jernigan and Irene Marchegiani Jones. New York: Italica Press, 2000. (Italica Press dual-language poetry series) [6], vii-xxxiii, [2], 2-180, [2] pp.: ill. The original play was written in hendecasyllabic blank verse, with rhymed chorus songs; this translation is in blank verse, with partly rhymed choruses. It includes the intermedii (interludes), but not the probably inauthentic epilogue spoken by Venus. The translators write: “Critical interpretations of Aminta have been numerous and various over the years, but a given fact has always been that the poetic language is central to the work. We strove to reproduce the musicality and elegance of the original wherever possible, balancing our translation between the respect due to the archaic sixteenth-century original and a commitment towards contemporary readers. While keeping the meaning, tone, and content, we have tried to confer the musical and harmonious sound inherent in the original (and occasionally the colloquial tone as well), although we humbly admit that we are not Tasso and that the very greatness of his poetry presents real challenges to anyone who sets out to translate it. The old song says, ‘I’ve been true to you, darling, in my fashion,’ and we hope that our fidelity to Tasso has been sufficient.” The illustrations are from the Aldine edition of 1589. Jernigan is Chair of the Department of Comparative Literature and Classics at California State University, Long Beach. Jones is Professor of Italian at the same university. She

Regan comments: “Translators should be faithful to the text and also should express the meaning of the text in felicitous English. The two objectives are often difficult to reconcile. Fidelity to the text has been my priority, but I am confident that the reader will find the translation clear and idiomatic. The translation of some key words often varies with the context and/or involves interpretation.

Bibliography 2000 [5], vi-xxiii, [5], 3-150 pp.: ill.; maps. The First Life was written in 1228 at the command of Pope Gregory IX. Stace writes: “My brief was to be accessible, but while some thirteenth-century Latin suggests itself readily in recognizable modern English, plenty of what Celano writes does not. The result is that my translation, like every other translation, is a compromise. ... One characteristic feature of Celano’s style, which is typical of much medieval writing, is an elaborate use of repetition. Celano can be extremely laconic when it suits his purpose, so when he strives to achieve a weighty and impressive and almost incantatory effect through repetition, it would be a mistake to pare it down too ruthlessly. It would be to do violence to the author’s Latin style, to lose the feeling of the original, and to betray his intentions. So in general I have let the repetition stand, and the reader must assume that it reproduces the original.” Issued in paper. OCLC,YRK

00123 The towns of Italy in the later Middle Ages. Translated and annotated by Trevor Dean. Manchester; New York: Manchester University Press, 2000. (Manchester medieval sources series) [5], vi-vii, [4], 2-252, [10] pp.: map. The 108 brief extracts or documents are arranged under the headings: The physical environment and social services; Civic religio; The urban economy; Social organization and tensions; political structures. Dean writes: “The towns of later medieval Italy were one of the high points of urban society and culture in Europe before the industrial revolution. They also produced huge amounts of written material, which is exceptional in quality and quantity for the Middle Ages. ... Little of this huge mass of material has been translated, or ever published. ... This means that, for most of Italy, for most of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, there is little available in modern English translation. This volume is intended to fill that gap, by providing a more balanced coverage of Italian urban life in the period. ... Three principles have underlain the choice of documents in this book. The first is a desire to present material from as many different cities and as many different writers as possible. ... Second, my search for inclusiveness and balance has meant avoiding the familiar [Dean mentions Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio]. ... Finally, a third principle is to reflect some of my own concerns in the ‘minor’ history of Italy (Ferrara), and in the behaviour and mores of the nobility (vendetta, knighthood).” Also issued in paper.

Dunedin, New Zealand: University of Otago Press, 2000. [7], viii-xxiii, [12], 12-340, [4] pp.: ill.; ports. Vaggioli (1845-1921) spent eight years, from 1879 to 1887, in New Zealand as a Benedictine missionary priest. His history is based on his study of the extensive literature on New Zealand, and on his own observations during his time there. The publisher notes: “On his return to Italy, Vaggioli responded to numerous requests (including a Papal directive) for information about New Zealand by writing this History. The result is a document that is unique in our nineteenth century literature, a lively, opinionated and potentially controversial book, ... . While his anti-British and anti-Protestant bias is evident, Vaggioli rigorously backs up his arguments with quotes from numerous sources. History of New Zealand has languished in obscurity until now, because it has been available in Italian only, and also because only a handful of copies of the original edition have survived. Most of the Italian edition was destroyed at the

beginning of the twentieth century, following pressure from the British government, due to the work’s severe criticism of British colonial policy. ... From 1910 until his death [Vaggioli] occupied the prestigious position of Superior of San Giorgio M aggiore monastery in Venice.” His book is remarkable for its early and vehement defence of the M aori, and shows his great sympathy for the people. Crockett translates Vaggioli’s second volume only; the first, covering the natural history of the islands, and M aori life and customs, being “outside [his] area of expertise.” For more on Vaggioli, see entry 0180.

Being the normative and thus the controlling figure, he can denigrate others for being ‘abnormal’ or ‘deviant.’ These deviants include the pathic or effeminate adult male, the sexually aggressive woman, and the fellator, who are then stigmatized as anomalous, grotesque, or malodorous. ...

0105 BOCCACCIO, Giovanni [De claris mulieribus (1361-2). English and Latin] Famous women. Giovanni Boccaccio; edited and translated by Virginia Brown. Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2001. (The I Tatti Renaissance library; 1) [5], vi-xxv, [2], 2-530, [4] pp. De claris mulieribus was first published in 1473, and was published twice more before 1501. After the Bern edition of 1539, however, more than 400 years passed before a full Latin edition, based on the autograph manuscript, was published in 1967. This edition by Zaccaria provided the text for Brown’s translation. In her introduction, Brown writes: “Boccaccio’s Famous Women ... is the first collection of biographies in Western literature devoted exclusively to women. The nucleus of this innovative work, consisting in its final form of 104 chapters, was written at Certaldo between the summer of 1361 and the summer of 1362. It was dedicated to Andrea Acciaiuoli, a Tuscan noblewoman living in southern Italy. Andrea was the sister of Niccolò Acciaiuoli, an old friend of Boccaccio who was a member of an eminent Florentine family and a major power behind the throne of Joanna, Queen of Naples. In the Preface ..., Boccaccio informs us that it was Petrarch’s Lives of Famous Men (De viris illustribus) that prompted him to undertake his own work, for it was through Petrarch’s work that he came to appreciate the need for a similar compilation dealing with famous women. Boccaccio further explains ... that his purpose in writing the Famous Women is to record for posterity the stories of women who were renowned for any sort of great deed. Inevitably, this means including both good and bad women, but the distaste aroused by recounting the wicked deeds of some protagonists will be offset, he claims, by the exhortations to virtue that have been included ... . Boccaccio hopes that this mixture of the pleasant and the profitable will make its way into his reader’s mind and function as a spur to virtue and a curb on vice.” Famous Women is also available in an English-only paperback edition from Harvard University Press (2003).

This labor of love by a fellow Franciscan retrieves for modern readers an important medieval interpretation of the Third Gospel. Bonaventure’s commentary is of interest not only from a historical perspective, but as Karris shows, there are ways in which it can still relate to contemporary Christian faith and praxis.

(Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; v. 232) [7], viii-xxxv, [4], 4-124 pp. Brandolini (ca. 1465-1517) was born in Florence, raised in Naples, and eventually settled in Rome, where he taught rhetoric at the university. James Haar reviewed this book for

Renaissance Quarterly (vol. 55, no. 4 (Winter, 2002)), and wrote: “De musica et poetica, dedicated to Leo X, survives only in the dedicatory manuscript copy addressed to the pope. Whether it was orally delivered by the author is not known, but the work is in the form of an oration. Its subjects are music, chiefly that of antiquity, and Latin poetry. ... Brandolini lived in an age of popular improvvisatori who sang epic and lyric verse — Ariosto and Petrarch — as well as their own poems, to music of their own. He clearly considered himself, as an accomplished Latinist, to be above the level of these men, though he does acknowledge a few of them as highly skilled; but one may wonder whether listeners at court entertainments, even those of Pope Leo X, preferred a Brandolini performance to one by singer-poets of the like of Serafino Aqulaino or L’Unico Aretino (Bernardo Accolti).” Haar finds the translation clear and fluent.

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2001-7. (The I Tatti Renaissance library; 3, 16, 27) 3 v.

Hankins writes: “If boldness of conception, originality, style, and influence are any criteria of excellence, the History of the Florentine People by Leonardo Bruni of Arezzo (13701444) deserved to be considered the greatest historical work of the Italian Renaissance. That was the judgment of many contemporaries and it is the judgment of many modern students of Renaissance historiography as well. ... Bruni had the idea to write it as early as 1404, when, in the course of composing his famous Panegyric of the City of Florence, he came to realize the richness of his theme. Later, when Florence conquered Pisa in 1406, the similarities (as he saw it) between this victory and Rome’s victory over Carthage in the second century B.C. once again whetted the young humanist’s appetite to tell Florence’s story. Finally in 1416, after circulating the first book of his history among some of Florence’s leading citizens, Bruni was given a tax exemption to pursue his historical writing (an admirable custom), and thus, in effect, became the official historiographer of the Florentine state. The composition of the work was a laborious process which occupied Bruni for the rest of his life.” In 1427, Bruni returned to public service as Florence’s chancellor, and by 1440 was a trusted member of the M edici regime. His tenure on the war commission (Dieci di Balìa) gave him access to secret documents. Thus, Hankins writes (in his preface to volume 3): “Bruni became the first historian in the Western tradition to compose a history based extensively on sources in government archives.” He was, at the same time, at

Through Clare’s letters, one can ponder the thoughts, issues, evolution, and spirituality of the early Poor Ladies. Written between 1234-1253, Clare’s letters serve as source material documenting a pivotal moment in the history of medieval women. ... Of this mutual correspondence, only the letters of Clare are preserved. The contents of Agnes’s letters is known only insofar as Clare addresses this content in her letters. Important new discoveries of manuscripts that include Clare’s letters have eased doubts regarding their authenticity.” In 1234, Agnes rejected an offer of engagement from the German emperor Frederick II and became a Franciscan. Following the example of her cousin, Saint Elizabeth of Hungary, Agnes used her royal dowry to found a hospital for the needs of the poor in Prague.

The texts included are the Legend, the Rule, and some letters. The translator notes that because the Legend of Clare is comparatively brief it has been possible to include some of Clare’s own writings in this selection. He writes: “M y aim has been to produce a readable and accessible version; in the interests of intelligibility, therefore, I have occasionally taken some liberties with the Latin, but none that interferes with the sense of the text.” The author of the Legend is unknown, but is most likely Thomas of Celano, who composed the First and Second Life of St Francis; another possible author is Saint Bonaventure. In his introduction Stace states: “the Prose Legend of Clare ... is hardly biography in the modern sense: its author is concerned solely to establish Clare’s sanctity. ... Some of the miracles recounted may strike modern readers as not only improbable, but even silly, yet no-one can doubt that the author has recorded them sincerely, and intends them to promote the fervour of the faithful. Our author is no purblind simpleton. He is an educated man, concerned to convey to the reader his theological insights. At the beginning of Part II, the section dealing with miracles, he firmly declares his belief that the true proof of sanctity is not in wonder-working, but in holiness of life and in good works ... . He is also capable of writing a Latin which can at times scale great heights of lyricism.” Issued in paper. OCLC,UTL

Though he says that the M archesa Colombi belongs to the latenineteenth-century tradition of writers who evoke the silent dramas of emotionally frustrated women confined within the home, she is also something quite different ‘because when she depicts mean, cramped lives, boredom and dreariness, she presents her characters with a ruthless eye, precise strokes and grotesque deformity, so as to convey the greatest sadness with the lightest poetic touch.’” The M archesa Colombi died in 1920.

0122 COMANINI, Gregorio [Il Figino (1591)] The Figino, or, On the purpose of painting: art theory in the late Renaissance. Translated, with an introduction and notes, by Ann Doyle-Anderson and Giancarlo Maiorino. Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2001. (Toronto Italian studies) [9], x-xxi, [4], 4-158, [2] pp. The series editor writes: “Gregorio Comanini’s dialogue Il Figino overo del fine della pittura (1591) offers one of the most comprehensive overviews of aesthetic theory and practice in the late sixteenth century. The dialogue takes the form of a conversation among the author’s friends about the fine, or ultimate purpose, of art. Comenini’s interlocutors draw extensively from classical and contemporary theory — Plato, Aristotle, Horace, M azzoni, Tasso, Paleotti — in addressing the vigorously debated aesthetic issues of their day: the nature of imitation and the role of the artist’s imagination; verisimilitude in literature and painting; correspondences and differences among literature, painting, and music; the superiority of one art to another; and the question of artistic decorum, a delicate issue in the climate of the Counter-Reformation. Accompanying this theoretical discussion are comments on works by M ichelangelo, Giulio Romano, Dante, Petrarch, Ariosto, and Torquato Tasso. Two painters, Ambrogio Figino and Giuseppe Arcimboldo, are presented as emblematic of the two opposing aesthetic stances — art is to teach / art is to please — that structure the dialogue. Although the discussion ends with the apparent triumph of the moral, didactic aesthetic, an ambiguity remains. What emerges from Comanini’s blending of ethical and aesthetical considerations is his absolute conviction that art plays a critical role in human existence, whether as entertainment, mirror of human activity, or teacher of moral truths.” Also issued in paper. *,LC,UTL

In her foreword, Nancy D’Antuono states: “The present edition easily doubles the commedia dell’arte source material available to students and scholars, by making available to an international readership the most substantial manuscript collection of scenari extant, that of D. Annibale Sersale, Conte di Casamarciano. Containing 183 scenari in two volumes, of which 176 can be deciphered, this zibaldone was originally the property of Benedetto Croce. ... The breadth of the collection is commensurate with its size, comprising material both old and new, some deriving from earlier collections, and some from printed plays or from Spanish drama.” The collection reflects the commedia dell’arte tradition in Naples around 1650-1700.

The translation was commissioned by Newell Jenkins, based on a manuscript found by him in the Esterhazy Archives. The opera, with Jenkins as conductor, was mounted at Carnegie Hall in 1965 by the Clarion Society, and recorded live. Carlo Goldoni wrote Arcifanfano in 1749.The VAI Audio recording of the opera (1965, 1992) also credits the translation to Auden and Chester Kallman. Andre writes: “I have edited [Auden and Kallman’s] typescript [dated 1962] using the principles Edward M endelson uses in Auden’s Libretti. I have not pared down the repetitious refrains of an opera libretto. ... Think of this play as a verse collaboration between Auden and Goldoni. ... The play is typical of Goldoni’s classic prose plays in that the female characters are stronger and more curious than the male. It begins in an 18th century immigration office. The identity of the state is concealed until the last scene of the last act. The characters are typical of Goldoni’s theatre, and those characters are throughly rounded. I never get the sense in Goldoni’s theatre, as I do in, say, Dryden’s, that the characters are other than life-like.” Unmuzzled Ox is an irregular periodical of the arts, of which M ichael Andre is the editor; the first issue appeared in 1971; since 1983 it has been published by The SoHo Baroque Opera Company.

Bibliography 2001 [6], vii-xvii, [2], 2-342, [8] pp. In their introduction, Allen and Hankins write: “Ficino always thought of the Platonic Theology as his own magnum opus and as his longest and most fully orchestrated work of independent philosophical inquiry — even though it cannibalizes various letters and treatises, its archaeology indeed posing several scholarly challenges. At its center is not just his spiritual search for reassurance and conviction that an afterlife awaits us and that death is not the termination of consciousness and accordingly of the self, but also his concern to redefine and thus reconceive the constitution, the figura, of the human entity. While engaging the hallowed notions of mind, soul, spirit, and body, he focuses on the nature and powers of the human soul and its spiritual chariot or vehicle, and on its central place in the hierarchy of God’s creation.” For further volumes, see entries 0244, 0350, 0440, 0555, and 0642.

Levens: Sally Beamont; Reading: Peter Fay, 2001. [5], i-vi, 1-130, [1] pp.: ill.; facsims., port. Fontana (1580-ca. 1656) was born in Naples, and graduated in law at the University of Naples, though his entry in the Dizionario biografico degli italiani tells us that he soon applied himself to the study of mathematical sciences, pursuing a boyhood interest. He became an expert fabricator of lenses for telescopes and microscopes. From the 1630s on his name appears in the correspondence of M arin Mersenne, Christian Huygens, Galileo Galilei, Evangelista Torricelli, and other prominent scientists. His book describes the history and invention of the telescope, and the results of Fontana’s observations from 1629 on. The Dizionario entry notes that in addition to confirming the rotation of nearly all the planets on their own axes, the variation in the size of Mars in accordance with its position with relation to the Sun, and the presence of a greater number of satellites around Jupiter and Saturn than had up to then been noted, Fontana’s most interesting novelties concern an accurate description of the surface of the M oon. In opposition to Galileo, however, Fontana attributes to the M oon a light of its own. Fontana’s great weakness was in his lack of theoretical training in astronomy and mathematics. His book is, however, accompanied by many of his own engravings of celestial bodies, based on his observations. Issued in paper; spiral bound. The first sheet reads: Fontana of Naples, a contemporary of Galileo. New discoveries made with his own telescopes & microscopes, 1646.

0136 GALILEI, Maria Celeste [Correspondence. Selections. English and Italian] To father: the letters of Sister Maria Celeste to Galileo, 1623-1633. Translated and annotated by Dava Sobel. London: Fourth Estate, c2001. [6], vii-xiv, [2], 1-377, [7] pp. The correspondence consists of 124 letters; none of Galileo’s letters to his daughter have survived. Sobel writes: “The young woman who wrote these letters led a cloistered life in a gilded age. Virginia Galilei, or Suor M aria Celeste as she signs herself here, entered a convent [of the Poor Clares at Arcetri] near Florence at the age of thirteen and spent the rest of her days within its walls. Although she devoted most of her time to prayer, she served as the convent’s apothecary, tended the sick nuns in the infirmary, supervised the choir, taught the novices to sing Gregorian Chant, composed letters of official business for the mother abbess, wrote plays, and also performed in them. She saw as well to many personal needs of her famous father, Galileo Galilei, from mending his shirts to preparing the pastries and candies he loved to eat. When he stood trial in Rome for the crime of heresy, she managed his household affairs during the year of his absence, sending him lengthy detailed reports at least once a week.” Galileo saved these letters, and thus they survived with his papers. A full edition of M aria Celeste’s letters was published in Italy in 1891. A first, partial English translation appeared in 1870 in M ary AllanOlney’s The Private Life of Galileo.

A reprint, with a new introduction, of the collection first published in London by M acmillan and Boston by Houghton M ifflin, Riverside in 1885. The 109 tales are chiefly from the collections of Giuseppe Pitrè (published 1873-75), Domenico Comparetti (published 1875), and Vittorio Imbreni (published 1871, 1872). The original translator/editor, Crane, was Professor of Romance Languages at Cornell. Zipes writes: “Crane worked assiduously to document all the tales from his collection, which were taken from over forty different works, and to demonstrate the fluid flow between the oral and literary traditions. He covers a wide range of tale types including the fairy tale, Oriental tales, legends, ghost stories, nursery tales and rhymes, jests, and anecdotes. Unlike the Grimms and Afanasyev, he does not ‘clean up’ or modify all the tales that he translated from different regions of Italy. The tales deal openly and frankly with such subjects as murder, adultery, incest, child abuse, brutal vengeance, robbery, cheating, and exploitation. M any of the morals are dubious. In fact, numerous tales might be considered ‘immoral’ today, for they depict simply that crime pays, might makes right, and cunning is necessary to survive in a dog-eat-dog world. The realism of the tales is uncanny.” Also published by Oxford University Press (see entry 0364). ERI,LC,OCLC

Discussing the relatively muted first impact of America on Italy, Symcox notes: “To Italian observers in the years after 1492 events nearer to home seemed far more pressing, events in the Americas exciting, but peripheral. For us to underestimate the relative significance contemporaries attached to them is an error of historical perspective reflecting the rise of America to world domination in our own day. For the Italian states, the wars unleashed by the French invasion of 1494 were a matter of life and death, conpared to which happenings in the antipodes paled into insignificance. Italian diplomacy was focused on the need to

795 survive in a dangerous world dominated by bigger powers, as the case of Venice, strongest and most stable of all the Italian states, amply reveals. ... Venice’s most pressing concerns were the threat to its independence posed by the imposition of French or Spanish hegemony in the Italian peninsula, the growth of Ottoman power in the eastern M editerranean, and competition with the Portuguese for control of the spice trade from the East Indies. To all of these threats the republic responded energetically.” See also entry 0256. KVU,LC,UTL

Bovicelli; Brief and easy method ... (1593), by Giovanni Luca Conforto (that is, Conforti). Foreman writes: “The four treatises published here are translated into English for the first time [though in fact translations of Conforti’s book were published in 1989 (see entry 8915), and in 1999 (see entry 9923)]. I have brought them together, to the exclusion of other ornamentation manuals from the same general period, for several reasons. First and foremost, the authors are all known to have been singers, and in Conforto’s case at least, a recognized virtuoso in more than one venue, the papal chapel choir in Rome, and the court of the Este family in Ferrara. M affei was a physician and musician in Naples; Bovicelli was a member of the prestigious choir of the Cathedral of M ilan; Zacconi spent much of his career divided between Venice and Vienna, and served for a time under Orlando di Lasso at M unich. A second compelling reason for selecting these manuals is that they deal specifically with vocal matters, although application of the ornaments to instruments is not excluded by Conforto. The majority of other works from this period are either by instrumentalists and also ‘apt’ for voices, or come from the pens of men more noted as theorists, Like Vicentino.” Spiral binding. OCLC,UBC

NESI, Giovanni [Symbolum nesianum (1500). English and Latin] Piety and Pythagoras in Renaissance Florence: the Symbolum Nesianum. By Christopher S. Celenza. Leiden; Boston; Köln: Brill, 2001. (Studies in the history of Christian thought; 101) [7], viii-xiii, [2], 2-238, [4] pp. Giovanni Nesi (1456-1506) was a Florentine, and a follower of M arsilio Ficino, and then of Girolamo Savonarola. In his introduction, Celenza writes: “Ficinian Neoplatonism always had within it a touch of the apocalyptic. As a sense of crisis deepened among Florentine intellectuals, many members of the vital coterie which comprised Ficino’s followers became piagnoni — followers of the reform-minded Dominican apocalypticist Girolamo Savonarola, whose political and spiritual ascendency in the republic from 1494 onwards ended in his being hung and then burned in 1498. The Symbolum nesianum, attributed to the piagnone Giovanni Nesi, is a prime witness to these transitions. ... the Symbolum presents an interpretation of the Pythagorian sayings ... which oscillates between Ficinian Neplatonism and Savonarolan apocalypticism. The text is a parallel vision born of the Italian Renaissance, an updating of an ancient, pagan communal society for the modern age, albeit in a very restricted context, that of monastic living.” According to one source Nesi’s interpretation of the apothegms proposed by Pythagoras was first presented to an audience of Camaldolese monks in Florence, though it is Celenza’s opinion that the existing manuscript version of 1518 owes much to the organizing hand of Paolo Orlandini, twice vicar general of the Camaldolese order.

Fidelity to the text has been my priority, but I am confident that the reader will find my translation of the De malo to be clear and idiomatic. Translation of some key words inevitably involves interpretation. For example, I have generally translated the word culpa as moral wrong, rather than as fault or guilt, in order better to convey the objective defect of morally evil acts with which St. Thomas was typically concerned.” KSM ,LC,UTL

Also included are a selection of Tornabuoni’s laudi, poems of praise. Tylus writes: “As poems attesting to a highly educated and creative woman, as well as to a lively sense of Florentine cultural and social life in the second half of the fifteenth century, the storie sacre and laudi alike deserve our attention, In particular, they argue for the inextricable link between female religiosity and social and cultural practices of the Renaissance Florence — a link that Tornabuoni, given her prominent and unique position in city life and her deep familiarity with ‘popular’ and ‘official’ culture alike, exemplifies perhaps better than any other Florentine figure.” Tornabuoni (1427-1482) outlived her sickly husband Piero de’ M edici by thirteen years, and Tylus notes: “scholars surmise that most of her writings date from after Piero’s death.” She bore Piero seven children, five of whom survived birth: three daughters, her son Lorenzo, the M agnificent, and her son Giuliano, who died in the Pazzi conspiracy of 1478. Two of her grandchildren became popes, as Leo X and Clement VII, and she was also an influential woman in her own right. Tylus writes: “She supported numerous public projects in Tuscany and engaged in charitable works in Florence; she also patronized important writers and artists. Less appreciated in the historical annals is that she helped to run Florence in the years between her husband Piero’s early death and the maturity of her son Lorenzo.” At the time of publication, Jane Tylus was Professor of Italian and Associate Dean for the Humanities in the College of Letters and Science, University of Wisconsin, Madison. She is now Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and Professor of Italian at New York University.

0202 ANDREINI, Isabella [La Mirtilla (1588)] La Mirtilla: a pastoral. Isabella Andreini; translated with an introduction and notes by Julie D. Campbell. Tempe, Arizona: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2002. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; vol. 242) [11], xii-xxvii, [4], 2-105, [1] pp.: ill.; facsim., port. Isabella Andreini Canali (1562-1604) was a noted actress, poet, and playwright. Campbell writes: “A highly accomplished woman, Andreini embodied both humanist and Christian ideals for early modern women, attributes considered unusual in an actress. ... Rosalind Kerr notes that ‘her education in the fine arts supports the evidence that she began her training as an “honest courtesan.”’ Whether or not she was meant to be a courtesan, the facts remain that Isabella married Francesco de’Cerrachi Andreini of Pistoia at age sixteen and that her public reputation for virtue increased throughout her life.” The mother of seven children (including the noted actor and

dramatist Giovanni Battista Andreini (1576-1654), best known as the author of L’Adamo), she co-directed with her actor and impresario husband the celebrated company the Gelosi, and was noted as one of the greatest innamorate in the history of Italian comedy. Andreini was a friend (and imitator) of Torquato Tasso, and played the heroine in his Aminta (1573). Campbell writes: “In La Mirtilla we may see an amalgam of Andreini’s cultural interests — poetry, drama, classical mythology, music, literary theory, Platonic philosophy, and popular topics of debate that stem in part from the questioni d’amore, the questions about love frequently used as commonplaces to spark discussion in medieval courtly circles and later in Renaissance literary salons (in Italy, the ridotti) and academies. Ultimately, the play is a sophisticated display of erudition combined with a wicked sense of humor with regard to the foibles of lovers.” The play was reprinted several times before Andreini’s death, though the work of hers most reprinted in the 17 th c. was a collection of her correspondence.

In her sermons she feels herself surrounded at all times and spoken to on occasion by, among others, the Virgin M ary, John the Evangelist, numerous saints, and a panoply of angels — especially two or three to whom she is particularly close. And on occasion she speaks directly with God. Her sermons also exhibit discourses on the Incarnation, the nobility and offices of the angels, and praises for the mother of God, John the Evangelist, and her guardian angels.” She (with her husband) entered a religious vocation only after the early deaths of her children.

The translation of the title page of the first edition of Belli’s treatise reads: Silvio Belli, Vicentine, On Ratio and Proportion, the Common Properties of Quantity, Three Books, Useful and necessary to true and easy understanding of Arithmetic, of Geometry, and of all the sciences and arts. To the M agnanimous Cardinal Alessandro Farnese. With Privilege. Venice, published by Francesco de’ Franceschi Sanese, 1573. The translation is based on the 1595 edition of Belli’s works, Quattro libri geometrici di Silvio Belli. Belli writes, in his address to the readers: “I have truly found the Royal way of treating in their natural order all of mathematics. And having begun with the Ratios and Proportions [proportione, e proportionalità], Common Properties of Quantities, the universal subject of all M athematics, and seeming to me that I have not only treated them, as I said, in their natural order, but have also amplified and pared them down where necessary, and with such facility have I explained them that they have become clear and easy, difficult though they were.” Silvio Belli (d. 1575), was a friend and contemporary of Andrea Palladio (they were both founding members of the Accademia Olimpica of Vicenza). Belli has been characterized as “Palladio’s mathematical companion,” and Palladio himself referred to Belli as “the most excellent geometer in our area.” Belli also published the successful Libro del misurar con la vista.

Wilson writes: “Boccaccio was Dante’s first biographer, and in his lectures on Dante’s life and work, delivered in Florence after Dante died, he was also the first great interpreter of his work. ... Because Boccaccio is himself a poet, he enters into Dante’s self-vision and worldvision with peculiar aplomb. He is not searching, as a modern biographer might do, for the ‘real Dante’ among the deskdrawers of discontented wives, abandoned mistresses or neglected children. He searches instead in the most obvious place, in Dante’s work. ... The bulk of Boccaccio’s Life ... is devoted to exposing the nature of Dante the poet. Although it related to a man who lived and suffered and died, this book is not a biography in the modern sense of the word. It is as much a work of the imagination as the Decameron or the Divine Comedy.” Issued in paper. KVU,LC,UTL

(Currents in comparative Romance languages and literatures; vol. 116) [9], x, [1], 2-595, [3] pp. Il Teseida is the first Tuscan epic poem, structured in twelve books on the model of the Aeneid, written in octaves and hendecasyllabic lines. Two friends, Arcita and Palemone of Thebes, prisoners in Athens, compete for the love of Emilia, sister to Hippolita, Queen of the Amazons, who has been defeated and captured by Theseus, King of Athens, who has made her his queen. Theseus orders a tournament to settle the quarrel. Arcita is the winner, but is severely wounded, and dies soon after his betrothal to Emilia. In his testament Arcita requests that Emilia and Palemon marry, which they do with great ceremony. In the final octaves of the poem Boccaccio declares himself to be the first to tackle the business of arms and war in the vernacular. Vincenzo Traversa is Professor of Italian and Humanities at California State University, Hayward, where he served as Chairman of the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures for thirteen years. His publications include successful textbooks for the teaching of Italian, works on M oravia and Capuana, and The Laude in the Middle Ages. LC,UTL

In his 2005 review of this book in Parergon 22, Neville Chiavaroli writes: “Boncompagno da Signa [ca. 1165-ca. 1240] was a prominent teacher and exponent of the medieval art of rhetorical composition (the ars dictaminis), producing over a dozen works in a professional career which spanned fifty years. But not all of his works were strictly didactic. Aside from short works on the nature of friendship and old age, Boncompagno also wrote an account of a little-known episode of Italian history, the 1173 siege of Ancona by the imperial legate Christian of M ainz and his Venetian allies. In this work ... Boncompagno depicts the siege as a great moment in the emerging Italian communes’ struggle for liberty against the aggression of the German Emperor Frederick Barbarossa. This viewpoint was readily appreciated by subsequent Italian writers, and, somewhat ironically, Boncompagno’s reputation for a long while rested on his status as a historian and pro-Italian apologist, rather than as the leading professional writer, or dictator, that he was. M ore recent scholarship has restored Boncompagno’s place in the history of rhetoric, but with the result this and Boncompagno’s other non-didactic works now tend to be regarded as marginal to his main purpose.” Boncompagno was also one of the first Western European authors to write in the vernacular, that is, in his case, Italian.

New Haven; London: Yale University Press, c2002. [7], viii-xlix, [4], 4-203, [3] pp. The original title page to Bruno’s kabbalistic dialogue reads: Cabala del cavallo pegaseo, con l’aggiunta dell’Asino cillenico. Descritta dal Nolano; dedicata al Vescovo di Casamarciano. Parigi, appresso Antonio Baio, Anno 1585. The text grew out of the Italian philosopher’s experiences lecturing and debating at Oxford early in 1584. The publisher notes: “Having received a cold reception there because of his viewpoints, Bruno went on in the Cabala to attack the narrowmindedness of the university — and by extension all universities that resisted his advocacy of intellectual freethinking.” This is the first English translation of Bruno’s dialogues on the nature of poetry, divine authority, secular learning, and Pythagorean metempsychosis (a great influence on James Joyce and other writers).

The Bondanellas state: “Our translation has attempted to retain the freshness and clear quality of Cellini’s language, which is not that of the learned academic treatise but, rather, the beautiful Tuscan tongue spoken by Cellini’s contemporaries and the basis of contemporary Italian.” They also comment: “Cellini’s belief in the superiority of his artistic talent often caused him to disagree with his patrons or to denigrate his inferior artistic competitors. But his personal temperament also frequently caused him to fly into fits of rage with all sorts of other classes of people, from soldiers and bureaucrats to doctors, innkeepers, and peasants. His talents as a swordsman were almost as renowned as his abilities as an artist and writer, and Cellini frequently called upon these bellicose

Theology and piety; v. 1) [1], 2-136 pp. Latin text with parallel English translation. The publisher notes: “The Renaissance produced many treatises on how princes, courtiers and bishops should fulfill their duties. Contarini’s treatise stands out because it presents a layman’s view of what a bishop should be. His treatise contains two books. The first book outlines what a good man should be since a good bishop must first be a good man; it relies heavily on the writings of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas and is highly theoretical. The second book is much more practical and explains how a bishop should arrange his day and how he should deal with the myriad of problems confronting a good pastor, effective administrator and devout Christian.” Though Contarini (1483-1542) wrote his treatise in 1517, at the request of Pietro Lippomano (who had been elected bishop of

Parallel text in Italian and English. Concerning translation, Esolen writes: “I have decided, for the Inferno, that the preservation of Dante’s rhyme in any systematic form would so overburden syntax, individual lines, and tercets as to compromise either meaning or music. In the former case the trade is a hard one; in the latter, it is selfdefeating. John Ciardi’s superb translation compromises some of the meaning to save about half of the rhyme. I do not criticize but merely note the losses any translator must incur. Some contemporary translations have dispensed not only with rhyme but with meter altogether, in an attempt to render Dante’s meanings as tersely and accurately as possible. That is an admirable and self-effacing decision, and a student can learn a great deal from such a translation. But memorability and almost all of the power of music are lost. I have assumed, in this translation, that a sublime poem had better be rendered into a meter capable of hinting now and again at that sublimity. In English, iambic pentameter is the only meter that will do.” Anthony Esolen is a professor of English at Providence College. He has also published a translation of Tasso’s Gerusalemme liberata.

[9], x-xxi, [2], 2-296, [2] pp. Carson (b. 1948) approached Dante from the viewpoint of an Irish poet whose first language was Irish. He writes: “When I began looking into the Inferno, it occurred to me that the measures and assonances of the Hiberno-English ballad might provide a model for translation. It would allow for sometimes extravagant alliteration, for periphrasis and inversion to accommodate the rhyme, and for occasional assonance instead of rhyme; it could accommodate rapid shifts of register. So I tried to write a terza rima crossed with ballad. The HibernoEnglish ballad is commonly known as the ‘come-all-ye’: a pointer to its demotic and inclusive intentions. These songs ...

‘were marked above all by their expressive energy’. And in fact the Italian or Florentine of the Inferno, so far as I can read it, has a relentless, peripatetic, ballad-like energy, going to a music which is by turns mellifluous and rough, taking in both formal discourse and the language of the street. It moves from place to place, as Dante walked through Italy, as he walked through the Inferno. As I walked the streets of Belfast, I wanted to get something of that music.” KVU,LC,UTL

He also studied in Egypt, Syria, Provence, and Byzantium, and developed contacts with scientists throughout the M editerranean world. He also participated in the academic court of Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II (1194-1250) who sought out and recognized great scholars of the thirteenth century (Frederick is represented here by his treatise on hawking De arte venandi cum avibus [see 1943]). The introduction points out: “Liber abaci is one of the most important books on mathematics of the M iddle Ages. Its effect was enormous in disseminating the Hindu number system and the methods of algebra throughout Europe. ... M athematics and science are, after all, as much a party of our culture as literature, art, and music.

[10], i-vi, 1-523, [5] pp.: ill. In her introduction, Gerhard writes: “The purpose of this series of books is several-fold. First, to provide singers, teachers, stage directors, and other interested readers with reliable translations and guidelines for pronunciation of Italian songs. Second, to assist those who know modern Italian but who may be stumped by words of antiquated or poetic usage. And last but not least: to whet the appetites of singers, teachers, and students to further explore this repertoire. ... Translating old Italian texts poses many problems. ... M y goal was to translate the Italian accurately while also making the translation ‘make sense’ in English – a sometimes nearly impossible task. M y translations offer solutions which may not be the only possible ones.” It is curious that in a book of song texts the poet/librettist is frequently not identified, and even when identified is not indexed (whereas the composers are). Some 58 poets and librettists are, however, identified, from Claudio Achillini to Apostolo Zeno, and including Giovanni Francesco Busenello, Gabriello Chiabrera, Battista Guarini, Nicola Haym, Ottavio Rinuccini, Paolo Rolli, Giulio Rospigliosi (Pope Clement IX), and Alessandro Striggio.

The notations made in relation to the various plays of lights and shadows — reflections, lusters, and transparencies, in accordance with the positioning of the sun — make it clear that the guiding principle for the study was the greater perfection in the field of painting, and, indeed, a large number of these texts were countersigned and transferred as such into the Libro di pittura. ... Geometry is another topic appearing prominently in the manuscript, ...

[6], vii-xvi, [2], 3-91, [5] pp. Nichols notes, concerning the ‘Prophecies’: “The language here is often oracular, as though the writer has something important to impart, and the sayings could often be read as genuine attempts to prophesy. But he does not only give us prophecies, in the mysterious and riddling language which prophets love to use, but he also tells us what the prophecies mean. This is not part of the traditional role of the prophet. Indeed, this is precisely what serious prophets avoid doing. ... Leonardo’s inclusion of the solutions (the word is reasonable, because so many of the prophecies sound like riddles) turns his prophecies into a mockery of human attempts, or pretensions, to prophesy.” Issued in paper.

[9], x-xxxviii, [3], 4-466 pp. In their preface, the translators write: “The Discourses on the First Ten Books of Titus Livy is an imposing title. Even as Renaissance titles go, it is somewhat off-putting to the modern reader. It is no wonder that it is more familiarly referred to as The Discourses. But even this abbreviated title has not led to its becoming a familiar work. Despite the variety of M achiavelli’s writings that include plays, poetry, short stories, history, diplomatic and personal correspondence, political theory, and military tactics, most readers make up their minds about him and his influence on the history of ideas from study of The Prince alone. Whereas, as it has been succinctly put, his ‘capital book’ is The Discourses. ... For those interested particularly in M achiavelli’s contributions to political theory, The Discourses are essential reading. This reading is no easy task, however. It is not merely the title that is daunting; the work itself is intimidating. So the translation must first and foremost be readable. We have broken up Machiavelli’s long, hypotactic sentences; the Latinate constructions valued by his contemporaries often blocks the understanding of readers accustomed to modern writers’ terseness. What may be lost is the subtle interaction of his syntax and thought; on the other hand, the structure of his sentences becomes more readily accessible. By following editor Giorgio Inglese’s example of numbering M achiavelli’s sentences, we hope to compensate for this loss, enabling the reader to see what the basic sentences looked like.” Inglese’s edition of the Discorsi was published by Rizzoli in 1984. Guicciardini had access to the manuscript of his friend’s Discorsi in Rome in 1630, where it was being copied for publication by Cardinal Giovanni Gaddi. Atkinson and Sices comment: “On the one hand, the manuscript was a reminder of his dead friend’s companionship and intelligence. On the other, it was a reminder of M achiavelli’s political sympathies, which, especially as worked out in The Discourses, were shared by the people who had driven Guicciardini from Florence. ... From the notebook in which he drafted his Considerations, we can tell that he intended to comment on fifty-nine of M achiavelli’s one hundred forty-two chapters and prefaces. But for twenty of these chapters, the notebook provides only a blank page.” The Considerazioni intorno ai Discorsi del Machiavelli sopra la Prima Deca di Tito Livio remained unpublished until 1857. Atkinson and Sices used the edition edited by Roberto Palmarocchi (Bari: Laterza, 1933). LC,M ichigan,UTL

[11], 2-233, [5] pp. M anzoni never intended his verse tragedies to be staged, and insisted throughout his life that they were unperformable. Bernard Chandler comments, in the Dictionary of Italian Literature: “Carmagnola, a fifteenth-century condottiere commanding Venetian forces against his former master, the duke of M ilan, having sustained defeats after initial success, was executed for treason. M anzoni, however, portrays him as the innocent victim of the state and of inevitable injustice in history, who, after his sentence, abruptly turns to God, despairing of earthly justice. The chorus condemns civil war as encouraging foreign intervention. ... Adelchi deals with Charlemagne’s (Carlo’s) invasion of 773-74 against the

Lombard king Desiderio, at the request of the pope. A crafty politician, Carlo ascribes his victory to divine support, a view accepted by Desiderio. Adelchi, son of Desiderio, the just man in an unjust age in which glory is impossible, is mortally wounded and regards death and God as the only consolation for the monstrous force controlling history. His sister Ermengarda, the rejected wife of Carlo, is also a victim, even though she was born to a race of oppressors; her only consolation is death, as a celebrated chorus conveys.” (1979: 312-13) The translator writes: “M anzoni wrote his plays in unrhymed verse, each line of which contained eleven syllables. M y translation into free verse attempts to remain as close as possible to the literal sense of the Italian, while at the same time preserving as much of the dramatic and poetic quality of his verse as possible. M anzoni was liberal, as was Alfieri before him, in his use of antilabe, the practice of apportioning the syllables of a complete line to two or more speakers. ... I have attempted to reproduce antilabe where Manzoni has used it, ... . I have rendered his choruses, each of which was written in its own metrical form, into blank verse, attempting to capture both their lyrical tone and the sense of their poetry, but I have made no effort to reproduce their complex rhyme and metrical patterns.” Curley is University Professor of English and Director of the Honors Program at the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma.

0287 MENGHI, Girolamo [Flagellum daemonum (1576)] The devil’s scourge: exorcism during the Italian Renaissance. Girolamo Menghi; translation, introduction, and commentary by Gaetano Paxia. Boston, MA; York Beach, ME: Weiser Books, 2002. [7], viii-ix, [4], 4-210, [4] pp. Girolamo M enghi (1529-1609) was born in Viadana, in the province of M antua. At the age of 20 he joined the Franciscan order, rising to the level of provincial superior in 1598. A theologian and exorcist, he practised in Bologna, and was known as the “father of the exorcist’s art.” His best-known work, Flagellum daemonum, was translated into Italian and published, also in 1576, as Compendio dell’arte essorcistica. Paxia provides a brief history of demonology and the practice of exorcism, and discusses Menghi’s vision of evil. Paxia writes: “Girolamo Menghi articulated a philosophy of evil that reflected the social and religious culture of his time. He firmly rejected the Manichaean dualistic vision: the devil, he claimed, is evil, but he is not Evil. To avoid any absolute, polar duality between Being which is good and Being which is evil, M enghi imagined a scale ranging from good to evil. He tried to arrange devils according to their functions, spheres of action, and bad habits — just as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite had arranged angels in his Celestial Hierarchy.” Also issued in paper.

Grand Rapids, Michigan; Cambridge, UK: William B. Eerdmans Publishing Company, c2002. (Italian texts and studies on religion and society) [4], v-ix, [3], 1-174, [6] pp.: map. With an introduction by Paolo Chiesa (University of Udine). Yule’s translation first appeared in Cathay and the Way Thither, published in London in 1866 by the Hakluyt Society; a second edition, revised and expanded by Henry Cordier was published in 1913 by the Hakluyt Society. Odoric (ca. 1286-1331) entered the Franciscan order at Udine about 1300. The Catholic Encyclopedia notes: “Towards the middle of the thirteenth century the Franciscans were commissioned by the Holy See to undertake missionary work in the interior of Asia. Among the missionaries sent there were John Piano Carpini, William Rubriquis, and John of M ontecorvino. Odoric was called to follow them, and in April, 1318, started from Padua, crossed the Black Sea to Trebizond, went through Persia by way of the Tauris, Sultaniah, ... Kasham, Yezd, and Persepolis; He also visited Farsistan, Khusistan, and Chaldea, and then went back to the Persian Gulf. From Hormuz he went to Tana on the island of Salsette, north of Bombay. Here he gathered the remains of Thomas of Tolentino, Jacopo of Padua, Pietro of Siena, and Demetrius of Tiflis, Franciscans who, a short time before, had suffered martyrdom, and took them with him so as to bury them in China. ... [He] finally reached Canton in China. From Canton he travelled to Zaitoom, the largest Chinese seaport in the M iddle Ages, and Che-kiang, and went overland by way of Fu-cheu, the capital of the province of Fokien, to Quinsay (Hangcheufu), celebrated by M arco Polo. He remained in China and went to Nanking,

Yangchufu, and finally travelled by the great canal and the Hwangho River to Khan-balig or Peking, the capital of the great Khan. At that time the aged M ontecorvino was still archbishop in Peking, where Odoric remained three years. On his return journey he went overland by way of Chan-si through Tibet, from there apparently by way of Badachschan to the Tauris and Armenia, raching home in 1330. In May,1330, at the request of his superior, Guidotto, Odoric dictated an account of his travels to Brother W illiam of Solagna while at the monastery of St. Anthony at Padua. ... Unfortunately, Odoric accepted many fabulous stories and for a long period it was doubted whether he had really seen all the places and regions he described. His narrative, though, is veracious, and he is the first European traveller from whom are learned many peculiarities of the Chinese people and country which M arco Polo did not mention, because he had grown accustomed to them. It is to be regretted that he does not give a more detailed account of Tibet and Lhasa, the capital of the Dalai-Lama, which he was the first European to enter. The account of his travels was widely spread by M andeville’s plagiarisms from them, M andeville’s work being exceedingly popular in the later M iddle Ages and much used as a manual by geographers of that period.” LC,UTL

M ortimer’s translations from the Canzoniere (comprising about one-sixth of the whole) were first published by the University of Alabama Press in 1977. For the Penguin edition he writes: “Translators make a habit of complaining and translators of lyric poetry have more reason to complain than most. The translator of Petrarch, however, should be moderate in protestation for English Petrarchism has provided useful models and it would be perverse not to profit from what is so generously offered. M oreover, part of the translator’s task should be to remind us of how deeply Petrarch is anchored in our culture. The Canzoniere need not and should not sound too unfamiliar. The major problem is that Petrarch’s language is characterized by its exclusions. It is neither particularly concrete nor heavily abstract, it tends to avoid both the colloquial and the erudite, it is formal without being stiff. Gabriel Harvey, in Pierce’s Supererogation (1593) praised Petrarch for having ‘confined Love within the limits of Honour, Witt within the boundes of Discretion, Eloquence within the termes of Civility.’” Issued in paper.

Augustine interprets the Christian doctrines of actual grace, which is sufficient for our needs, and the justice of God, which does not allow us to be tempted above our strength, to prove to Petrarch that his unhappiness and disgust with himself are produced by his own wilfulness. To do this he quotes very little

0298 PETRARCA, Francesco [Itinerarium ad sepulchrum domini nostri Yehsu Christi (1358).

With an introductory essay, translation, and notes by Theodore J. Cachey, Jr. Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, c2002. [8], ix, [1], 1-235, [7] pp.: ill.; facsims., maps. The facsimile is accompanied by a transcription, as well as the translation. Concerning the reception and study of Italian travel literature, Cachey writes: “[The] historiographical resistance to travel has everything to do with the peculiar nature and history of Italy’s cultural construction as a national identity. If Italy had had another history — a national political history dating from the Renaissance instead of from the nineteenth century — and had that history been informed by the profound economic and political impacts of early modern colonial travel as were the histories of France, Spain, and England, a work like Petrarch’s Itinerarium might have enjoyed a different critical fortune. Instead, emerging from the Renaissance with a legacy of literary monuments rather than foreign conquests and colonies, Italy

819 existed as a quintessentially literary territory, and without a national political identity.” The Itinerariun was written as a guide for a friend, Giovanni M andelli, a distinguished figure at the Visconti court in M ilan. M andelli planned to make a pilgrimage to the Holy Land. Petrarch declined to join him, and instead wrote this guide in 1358 to help M andelli on his journey. Cachey comments: “Petrarch’s writing of a travel guide to the Holy Land when he had never been there might seem to disqualify him from the annals of travel literature rigorously limited to the narratives of ‘real’ journeys. Yet it is precisely the too rigid distinction between real and virtual travel that needs to be reconsidered, since this distinction has led to a severing of Italy’s splendid legacies of travel writing from the traditional canon [of Italian literature] and has blinded historiography to the importance of both the reality and metaphor of travel in Italy’s cultural construction. From the perspective of both the mental and material aspects of the journey, Petrarch’s Itinerarium offers a point of departure for investigating the relationship between the beginnings of both modern literature and modern travel.” CRRS,KSM ,UTL

Winckelmann published his History of the Art of Antiquity in 1764. In this work, as Harry F. M allgrave points out in his foreword: “Greek art is understood to form the apex of the classical past, and all subsequent creations (including Roman copies) necessarily become inferior imitation. Piranesi responded in 1765 with his ‘Roman’ defense. The culture of the classical Italians was never inferior to Greek culture, he contended; the Romans inherited their artistic talents not from the Hellenes but from the Etruscans. They were engineers of incomparable imagination and constructional daring; their works were inventive and sublime while those of the Greeks were merely pretty.” LC,UTL

Rosenman, M.D. [Philadelphia, Pa.]: Xlibris Corporation, c2002. [13], 14-192 pp.: 1 ill. The Italian translation of the Latin text was published in 1957. The 12th -century Italian surgeon Roger Frugard is generally considered to have been taught at Salerno, and to have taught and practiced there and in his home town of Parma.

Rosenman writes: “Despite its honored traditions in Italy Salerno’s dominance of surgical education during the 13 th C passed to Bologna and Padua and to other northern cities. The treatises of Bruno of Longoburgo [entry 0319], Theodoric [entry 5537] and William of Saliceto [0253] became the newer bases for a surgeon’s education, and at the end of the century Lanfranchi of M ilan [entries 7332, 0367] carried the lore and art into France. Yet, without exception, all the authors bowed to Roger in their books. A modern reader of those treatises will see few changes in the accepted surgical treatments, but he will find great differences in the substance of the books by the surgical authors of the ensuing century and half. Roger’s terse and sometimes haphazard presentations were replaced and expanded ... .” Also issued in paper. LC,M ichigan,OCLC

Thoroughly researched, it maintains a careful line between well-grounded fact and well-founded speculation. Most of all, it presents us with a gallery of extraordinary women — brilliant, beautiful, fulfilled, frustrated — who knew their worth and hungered for the recognition they deserved.” Rinaldina Russell comments: “Irma Jaffe has made a very clever use of cold documentary evidence and has turned it into a warmly imaginative recreation of the lives and personalities of some major and minor women

De inventoribus rerum was the first comprehensive account of discoveries and inventions written since antiquity. There were 30 Latin editions in Polydore’s lifetime; by the eighteenth century there had been over 100 editions in eight languages. Copenhaver notes: “His main point was to show that many Greek and Roman claims for discovery were false and that ancient Jews or other Asian peoples had priority.” Copenhaver is Professor of History and Philosophy and Provost at the University of California, Los Angeles. He is the author of Renaissance Philosophy (with Charles B. Schmitt), and editor and translator of Hermetica. CRRS,M ichigan,UTL

(Cambridge texts in the history of political thought) [6], vii-lxiv, [2], 3-302, [2] pp. Pompa’s translation is based on the edition of Andrea Battestini (Mondadori, 1990). Pompa writes: “... Vico’s terminology is both highly personal and extremely important. These features derive largely from the fact that it is an integral aspect of the way in which he presents his philosophy that the etymological connections between words, upon which he places great methodological emphasis, should, to some extent, be reflected in the terminology of his own text. This is something which is much more easily achieved in Italian, given its close connections with the Latin from which he draws by far the largest number of his etymological derivations, than in English. In order that these connections should not be lost, therefore, I

have translated as many of his terms with words retaining the same Latin roots as possible, even though this leads at times to something that might more accurately be described as Vichian rather than orthodox English. ... Ultimately, therefore, my main aim has been to produce a text that is, above all, faithful to Vico’s meaning, written in a clear but not wholly idiomatic English, which may permit a deeper appreciation of one aspect of Vico’s method of philosophising, while conveying some sense of the character of his writing.” Leon Pompa is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of Birmingham.

02126 The voyage of Saint Brendan: representative versions of the Legend in English translation. Under the general editorship of W. R. J. Barron and Glyn S. Burgess. Exeter: University of Exeter Press, 2002. [13], 2-377, [3] pp. This compilation includes versions of the Navigatio sancti Brendani in Latin, Anglo-Norman, Dutch, German, Venetian Italian, Occitan, Catalan, Norse, and English. In their preface, Barron and Burgess write: “The process by which Brendan [the sixth-century Irish saint] became the archetype of all ... sailor pilgrims is not apparent. But its components are evident in what little we know of his life: the remoteness of his era, the great length of his career, wide-ranging over the Christian West,

founding abbeys, building churches, the voyages it involved, the sanctity it brought. As always with such charismatic spirits, the life drew elements of myth and legend from many cultures: the odyssey of Ulysses, the voyages of Sinbad the Sailor and Columba the M issioner, fragments of Indo-European folklore, echoes of Sumerian epics. Its cosmopolitan appeal, carried abroad by Irish missionary enterprise, inspired not only a saint’s life ... but also ‘the Voyage of Saint Brendan’ ... both written in the international language, Latin. But the power of the Navigatio penetrated the Vita, producing hybrid versions and itself multiplying so that over 120 manuscripts still survive. All over Europe vernacular versions appeared throughout the latter M iddle Ages, each finding its own variation on the voyage into the unknown.” M any vernacular versions are here translated into English for the first time.

A complex narrative that charts the tumultuous career of Momus, god of fault-finding and the personification of embittered mockery, it has been variously read as an allegorical attack on the fifteenth-century papacy, as a satire on Florentine humanists and statesmen, and as a disguised autobiography. It has been seen as foreshadowing the work of M achiavelli, Erasmus, Rabelais, Cervantes and Swift. Yet it never achieved wide popularity ... . Rather than writing within one identifiable genre, Alberti causes mythology, literary fiction, political theory, philosophical dialectic and broad farce to jostle for primacy within this highly unusual work.” Latin, with a parallel English translation.

instructs her still virgin daughter, Pippa, in the skills she will need to succeed in the profession. Paul Bailey, who provides the foreword, writes: “The high-minded Platonist dialogue was then in fashion, and Aretino mocks its ideas of self-improvement and exemplary virtue for what he believes they are worth. ... The School of Whoredom is a work of serious comedy. Its author befriended one pope, and risked assassination from another before he reached the age of thirty-five. He was in the business of scurrilous exposure, with hypocrisy in all its manifestations as his principal target. Yet his is not the tarnished soul of the tabloid hack, forever rummaging for information concerning the follies, mostly sexual, of the famous.

0308 ARSICCIO, Intronato [La cazzaria (ca. 1525)] La cazzaria. The book of the prick. Antonio Vignali; edited and translated by Ian Frederick Moulton. New York: Routledge, 2003. [4], v-viii, 1-181, [3] pp. Antonio Vignali, who took the name Arsiccio (‘scorched’) as a member of the Accademia degli Intronati (the ‘thunderstruck’, or ‘stunned’, or ‘deafened’) was born in 1500 into a noble family in Siena. Though, as a founder member of the Intronati, he was one of the leading intellectual figures of Siena in the 1520s, little is known of his personal life. M oulton writes: “Groups of literary men like the Intronati were inspired to a certain extent by the humanist societies active in Rome and Florence in the late fifteenth century — especially the Roman Academy founded by Pomponio Leto and the Platonic Academy of M arsilio Ficino. These groups, devoted to the rediscovery of the literature of classical antiquity, attracted many of the greatest Italian scholars of the time. Poliziano, Cristofero Landino, and Pico della M irandola were all associated with Ficino’s academy. M eetings of the Roman Academy were attended by Paolo Giovio, Baldassare Castiglione, and Pietro Bembo, among others. But along with this heritage of serious scholarship and debate, academies like the Intronati had also a

more lighthearted model: groups like Poggio Braciolini’s Bugiale, or Liars’ Club, in which highly educated, culturally sophisticated men gathered to amuse themselves with jokes and bawdy tales.” See for instance, Poggio’s Facetiae [translated many times; see, for example, 1930, 1962, 1964, 1968, 1972, 1998], one of the ways this long-time papal secretary could blow off steam. On La cazzaria, M oulton comments: “[it] is the product of a hyper-intellectual, religiously sceptical, intensely masculine community, and was written at a time when a traditional, deeply Catholic society was undergoing massive social change and political disruption. ... it is openly homoerotic, and its praise of sodomy, while often funny, is seldom ironic. It is clear that Arsiccio, the main character in the dialogue, very much prefers to have sex with men and is willing to openly assert and defend his preferences. In a society in which people were put to death for the crime of sodomy, such openness was both rare and dangerous.” Also issued in paper. CRRS,LC,UTL

0309 ARTUSI, Pellegrino [La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene (1891)] Science in the kitchen and the art of eating well. Pellegrino Artusi; foreword by Michele Scicolone; introduction by Luigi Ballerini; translated by Murtha Baca and Stephen Sartarelli. Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2003. (The Lorenzo da Ponte Italian library) [7], viii-lxxiv, [2], 1-653, [7] pp., [7] leaves of col. plates: ill. This translation was first published by Marsilio Publishers (see entry 9703). The foreword and the introduction are new. In his foreword, Scicolone writes: “La scienza in cucina e l’arte di mangiar bene is 110 years old, yet around the world Pellegrino Artusi’s cookbook is as popular as ever. In Italy, the book is revered, and few homes are without at least one stained and tattered copy, passed down like a family heirloom from mother to daughter. With hundreds of new cookbooks published each year, it is remarkable that one more than a century old has survived. Yet, there are many reasons for its longevity. At the time it was published in 1891, Scienza in cucina was the first book written in Italian for the home cook. Other cookbooks of the era typically were written by French-trained chefs who either wrote in French or focused on French cooking. Their works were geared towards other professionals employed in wealthy homes. Scienza in cucina was the first book accessible to those who could read only Italian. It especially appealed to the newly emerging middle class. Wives and mothers ran the household and prepared the family meals, sometimes with the assistance of a cook or another servant or two. Neither the housewives nor their cooks were highly trained, and their families were accustomed to simple, uncomplicated meals, as opposed to formal and elaborate French fare. Artusi’s book helped them to expand their repertoire of recipes and further educated them

Bibliography 2003 about topics as varied as manners, nutrition, and culinary technique. He made the book pleasing to his unique audience, dedicating one recipe to the ‘ladies with delicate and sophisticated tastes’ and at times flattering them with compliments on their beauty and good sense. ... His writing style is relaxed and never pedantic. The recipes, together with the headnotes and commentary, are more like a conversation with a favorite uncle, who happens to be a knowledgeable cook, rather than a mere listing of ingredients and instructions.” In his introduction, Ballerini states: “It is doubtful that Artusi ever touched a kitchen utensil, that he ever lit a fire under a pot or finely chopped or gently stirred anything. These tasks ... were entrusted to his housekeeper and cook, Francesco Ruffili and M arietta Sabbatini. Artusi’s role was exclusively that of a taster, a pronouncer of verdicts, approving or disapproving the domestically re-created gustatory experiences he had been exposed or alerted to in the outside world.” Also issued in paper. *, UTL

Yet the interest of the text to be edited in the pages which follow needs no special advocacy. It is one of the earliest works of a famous and influential author, deservedly celebrated for his literary and linguistic attainments, and it shows him grappling with the difficulties of learning Greek while at the same time formulating the case for greater public support of such studies.” The text is a speech addressed to the senate of the Republic of Venice, though, as the editor points out: “Since it is in Greek it cannot have been designed to be delivered, unless conceivably a vernacular version was also prepared.” Greek text with parallel English translation.

(100 pages) [6], vii-xvi, [2], 3-111, [1] pp. Tim Parks, in his foreword, writes: “The remarkable thing about Giacomo Casanova is that not only did he have a bewilderingly eventful life, not only was he a thinker of wide reading, and great shrewdness, but he also knew how to tell a tale as well as the cleverest of novelists, knew, above all, how to wring out of it the maximum tension and irony. Both the Venetian and the reader have been beautifully set up in the opening pages of this book. We thought we had seen through all society’s self-regarding theatre. We thought we were immune. Until, in the space of a few lines, here we are enthralled by one of the most grotesque and artificial rituals ever devised: two men back to back in the snow, loaded pistols in their hands, everything at stake, all because of a woman now entirely forgotten and indeed never again mentioned throughout the book.” Casanova’s duel with a Polish officer over a ballerina is ridiculous, if inevitable, but his account of it, however fictitious, gives us an idea of his society’s absurd (to us) notions of honour.

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2003. (The I Tatti Renaissance library; 10) [5], vi-xxii, [15], 2-459, [1] pp.: ill.; facsims., map. Fifty-three letters, brief diary excerpts, and five extensive fragments of travel diaries, with English translations. Ciriaco Pizzicolli (1391-1452), known as Ciriaco d’Ancona, was born into an old merchant family in Ancona. As a young man he travelled widely in Greece and Dalmatia, and became fascinated by the antiquities that he came across on his commercial travels. Bodnar notes that he: “was the most enterprising, and prolific recorder of Greek and Roman antiquities, particularly inscriptions, in the fifteenth century, and the general accuracy of his records entitles him to be called the founding father of modern classical archaeology. Raised and educated to be a merchant, he became, like most of the early humanists, a bornagain convert, so to speak, to the revived interest in ancient Greek and Roman culture that we call the Renaissance. But unlike such humanists as Francesco Filelfo, Leonardo Bruni and Poggio Bracciolini, with whom he was well acquainted, his conversion came about, not only through the rediscovery of classical manuscripts, but especially by his continued personal encounter, during his voyages aboard merchant ships that did business in the Levant, with the decaying physical remains of classical antiquity that littered both the Italian landscape and the islands and mainland of Greece and Asia M inor. From these travels, taken increasingly to serve his antiquarian rather than mercantile interests, came his diaries and letters, which he filled with accounts of his wanderings. These verbal descriptions were

often illustrated with amateurish drawings of the temples and other buildings, statues and city walls he had seen, many of which today either no longer exist or survive only in a far more deteriorated state.” Bodnar had previously edited and translated a life of Ciriaco by his fellow townsman Francesco Scalamonti (see entry 9669).

In his Translator’s Note, Ciardi writes: “I began to peck away at Dante because I could find no translation that satisfied my sense of the original. Let nothing in that statement imply that I have now satisfied my sense. When I read the original with my rendering in mind I have no choice but to feel sad. When I read any other translation with my rendering in mind, I feel relatively happy. No one, of course, should trust my sense of it, but I must. Whose sense can I trust else? In looking at other translations I was distressed by the fact that none of them seemed to be using what I understood to be Dante’s vulgate. They seemed rather to fall into literary language, the very sort of thing Dante took such pains to avoid. And none of them, above all else, gave me a satisfying sense of Dante’s pace, which is to say, ‘the rate at which the writing reveals itself to the reader.’” Issued in paper. KVU,LC,UTL

readings from various branches of the stemma. Thus the text of our Purgatorio once again, in the main, follows Petrocchi’s La commedia secondo l’antica vulgata (1994), but the editor has departed from Petrocchi’s readings in a number of cases, somewhat larger than in the previous volume, not without consideration of Lanza’s and Sanguineti’s readings ... and, as before, Petrocchi’s punctuation has been lightened and American norms have been followed.” Italian and English on facing pages.

At the end of his personal essay he writes: “Because of the familiarity and diagnostability of the symptoms that Dante describes, I do not think it possible for New Life to have been written by someone who was merely faking it in the interests of theology. It cannot have been done except by someone who really did have an ideal woman, and lived through the disruptive and outlandish psychological and emotional consequences of such a passion. Anyone, male or female, who has ever been infatuated, besotted, enchanted, or

otherwise enamoured will read it with many smiles of recognition, even those for whom, like me, there is no longer any ideal woman. Nowadays I prefer real ones by quite a large margin. Nevertheless I look back with some regret to the time when it really was possible to have a Beatrice, because much of life’s intensity is lost when one becomes less crazy.” Also issued in paper.

In their note on the translation, the Hollanders write: “Purgatorio presents some challenges different from those encountered in Inferno [see entry 0037], but we have again attempted to give as accurate a sense of the poetry and meaning of the Italian text as English allows. The language and style of this part of the poem is, in many respects, different from that to which we had become accustomed in the previous cantica. The ‘harsh and rasping’ verse (Inf. XXXII. I) used to describe in particular the bottom reaches of hell is mainly lacking here, for the most part replaced by a more harmonious tone and diction. And the themes we encounter now are by and large different, as, entering the realm of the saved, we might expect. We need but think of the opening images of sunlight (unseen in Inferno), of the sense of divine grace operating before our eyes, of the fraternal love that replaces the hatred found in hell, of the light of the stars, of the singing so often heard and the smiling so often seen in this place and, in general, of the theological virtue of hope (and its color, green), missing in even the best part of hell, Limbo (where, in Virgil’s words, ‘without hope we live in longing.’)” LC,UTL

Doni was a copious writer whom we should now call a journalist. He is prolix, hardly profound, but is one of the very first to treat a theme — the impact of print — which has grown to command a vast literature. This is its first appearance in English.” OCLC,RBSC

(Publications of the Barnabe Riche Society; vol. 14) [6], 7-408 pp.: ill.; facsims. Anton Francesco Doni (1513-1574) was the son of a Florentine scissors-maker, and not, as he liked to claim, of noble blood. He became a Servite priest, taking the name Valerio, but was expelled from the order. By report a bizarre and quarrelsome eccentric, he travelled restlessly, earning his living

833 by his pen in northern Italy from Genoa and Alessandria, Pavia, M ilan, Piacenza, and on to Florence and Venice. He was a member of three Academies, the Ortolana of Piacenza, the Accademia Fiorentina, and the Pellegrina of Venice (though this last may be of his own invention). He knew many literati, especially Domenichi and Aretino. For a time he operated a printing press in Florence, before moving to Venice, where he worked for Giolito de’ Ferrari (an important sixteenth-century Venetian printer). He was the most prominent of the poligrafi, a group of versatile and prolific writers in Venice who earned their living by writing vernacular works for a popular audience, and who rejected much of humanist learning as pedantic, often proposing plans of reform that were utopian in nature (in 1548 Doni published an Italian version of Sir Thomas M ore’s Utopia, and in 1552-3 his own work I mondi, which Ernest Hatch Wilkins identifies as the first instance of an Italian literary work influenced by an English work [that is, Utopia] (1954: 257)). The collection known as the Moral filosofia is gathered from a variety of sources (Indian, Persian, Arabic, Hebrew, Latin, and Spanish), but Doni’s redaction has been identified as a translation of the Directorium humanae vitae of Giovanni di Capua (ca. 1265), itself a translation and adaptation of the Indian Panchatantra by way of a Hebrew version of the eleventh century. A Spanish edition of Giovanni’s work was published in 1493, and provided the basis for Doni’s translation. Doni emphasizes the moral basis of the tales, and adds his own extensive commentary. The work is divided into three parts: the first treats of the deceptions, the dangers and the duplicities of the world; the second the deceptions and betrayals of the court; the third provides an epilogue. Six more tracts at the end, with separate numbering, deal with such subjects as justice, the fear of God, malice, friendship, gratitude, deceptions, thoughtless actions, and so on.

0351 Five comedies from the Italian Renaissance. Translated and edited by Laura Giannetti & Guido Ruggiero. Baltimore; London: The Johns Hopkins University Press, 2003. [9], x-xlii, [3], 2-321, [3] pp. The translated plays are: La Calandra, The Comedy of Calandro, by Bernardo Dovizi da Bibbiena (performed 1513, published 1521 as Calandria); La mandragola, The Mandrake Root, by Niccolò M achiavelli (performed 1518?, published 1518? as Comedia di Callimaco & di Lucretia, and as La Mandragola in 1524); Il Marescalco, The Master of Horse, by Pietro Aretino (published 1533); Gl’ingannati, The Deceived, by The Academy of the Intronati of Siena (published 1537); La veniexiana, The Venetian Comedy, Anonymous (sixteenth century, published 1928). The editors write: “It is the premise of this collection that like carnival, Renaissance comedies did not end with the last act, just as they did not begin with the prologue. They were so popular, so quickly, so deeply embedded in Renaissance culture, that they literally played out some of its deepest themes in the imagination of the time long after carnival and comedy ended. They lived on in the imagination of the upper-class audiences who saw them, because they were so deeply rooted in the everyday realities, humor, and tensions of their world. They also lived on in that they were not merely played out on the stage, they were replayed as literature in published form — often reworked, embellished with yet cleverer wordplay and more complex humor — and were read widely thanks to new, cheaper forms of printing that made such material widely available. And they lived on in the form of endlessly retold tales and jokes, converted back to the oral tradition from which many of them had originally come. Beyond theater, beyond literature, beyond the distinctions between high and low, elite and common, licit and illicit, many of these comedies played out of stage and played imaginatively with the Renaissance itself.”

0352 FORO-JULIENSIS, Titus Livius de [Peregrinatio (1437). English and Latin] Travel abroad: Frulovisi’a Peregrinatio. Translated and with an introduction by Grady Smith. Tempe, Arizona: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2003. (Medieval & Renaissance texts and studies; v. 251. Neo-Latin texts and translations; v. 2) [9], 2-166, [2] pp. Frulovisi was born in Ferrara around 1400, and grew up in Venice, where he studied humanities under Guarino di Verona (1374-1460). He practised as a notary public, then turned to teaching. Smith writes: “From one point of view, Titus Livius Frulovisi was his own worst enemy. Because of his running feuds with rival teachers and some churchmen, he was forced to shut down his Latin school in Venice and become an itinerant humanist. Humphrey, Duke of Gloucester hired him as his poet and orator, but let him go when it became clear he was not as skilled in Greek as the Duke had been led to believe. And he was summarily dismissed by an old schoolmate who had given him a job as a papal subcollector in England — Frulovisi had gotten into an argument with a local priest and had been arrested. But, on the other hand, between his first comedy in 1432 and his life of Henry V in 1438, Frulovisi produced a body of work that was studded with significant humanistic writings. He admired Plautus and Terence, and in imitation he wrote the oldest surviving neo-Latin comedies actually performed. His De Republica is the first description of a Renaissance state, preceeding M achiavelli’s The Prince by a full century. And his Vita Henrici Quinti is the first biography of Henry V, and one of a handful of critical references Holinshead used when he wrote about the king in his Chronicles — a work which was in turn one of Shakespeare’s major historical sources.” Smith characterises Peregrinatio as a boy-meets-girl comedy, and writes: “in its comic situations, dialogue, and putative staging the play is unequivocally a stepchild of Plautus and Terence. Still, while maintaining its links to its models, the work attempts to reach beyond them within the context of imitatio. It selectively employs double entendre and lays down the theme of fortune in a satisfying way. And against an expected background of sexual stereotypes the play shows flashes of insight into the situation of women, and presents female characters in surprising, sympathetic, and important ways.” CRRS,LC,UTL

The miracles which contributed to her canonization involved the protection of orphan girls, the inspiration of missionaries, and the healing of the sick.

The singer, writer, and composer Vincenzo Galilei (15201591) was the father of Galileo. His Dialogo was a polemical piece, written against those music theorists such as his former teacher Gioseffo Zarlino who advocated a polyphonic system. In Galileo’s opinion the composer’s model was to be found in the ancient Greek modes, better suited to a melding of word and music in a dramatic context. It is Zarlino’s proposal that the octave should be divided into twelve equal semitones, however, that came to be universally adopted in the nineteenth century. LC,M USI

New Haven; London: Yale University Press, c2003. [9], 2-160 pp.: ill. (part col.); ports. Gandolfi wrote his account of his American journey in 1822, six years after his return. The manuscript was not published during Gandolfi’s lifetime (1764-1834), and finally appeared in 1842 in the literary weekly newspaper Il vaglio, together with a short biographical note about the artist. When he set sail from Bordeaux for New York in 1816 Gandolfi, a painter and engraver was fifty-two years old. Cazort writes: “His story appeals to the modern reader on several counts, It is succinct, and affords us a series of snap-shot impressions of the places he visited. It also bears the unmistakable stamp of authenticity. His detailed citations of names and street addresses, architecture, and theatrical events indicate that he took notes during his stay and worked up his ‘Voyage’ from these. A check of these facts has proved them accurate. ... M auro was above all an artist, and it was as an artist that he recorded his impressions. His observations are curiously unpremeditated, and the absence of preconceived expectations contributes to their charm. ... We have translated the text as literally as possible, maintaining M auro’s informal style replete with exclamations of amazement, delight, or chagrin and his tendency to move back and forth from observation to generalization.” LC,UTL

The M ethod also defeats the old myth that perpetuated the belief that viola playing was the last resort of mediocre violinists.

A servant to two masters, by Carlo Goldoni; The good hope, by Herman Heijermans; Mr. Puntila and his man Matti, by Bertolt Brecht; Mother Courage and her children, by Bertolt Brecht. Lee Hall; introduced by Lee Hall. London: Methuen Drama, 2003. (Methuen contemporary dramatists) [9], x-xiv, [2], 3-347, [7] pp. A Servant to Two Masters had its beginning as a commission to devise a play for a famous commedia dell’arte Harlequin. Hall writes: “The production was a huge success but when Goldoni finally came to see it he was appalled by the indulgence of the actors. ... And so for good or bad Goldoni stepped into the fray and attempted to deal with the realistic psychology of the commedia dell’arte’s stock of characters. He thus started a journey which led him to abandon the commedia conventions altogether, thus opening up a whole new world for the nineteenth century. A Servant to Two Masters is pivotal to this revolution in the Italian theatre. But it seems crucially torn in its allegiances. The piece sounded the death-knell of commedia dell’arte at the same time as it revelled in its stagecraft and absurdities. It ushered in a new ‘psychologism’ of character whilst never letting the characters themselves escape the traditional trajectories of their comedic fates. In short, Goldoni was trying to serve both the commedia tradition and the current dragging him towards a realistic aesthetic more typical of the nineteenth century.” Issued in paper. OCLC,UTL

[4], i-xv, [1], 1-80, [2] pp. DePiano writes: “Though theatre wars and playwright rivalries were very common and popular in Venice, perhaps the most famous one began when (according to literary legend) Goldoni encountered Count Carlo Gozzi, an outspoken essayist who had been lambasting Goldoni’s plays for some time in articles and pamphlets, in a bookstoe. The offended Goldoni challenged Gozzi, saying that if he objected so much to his plays, why didn’t he write a better one? Gozzi, a self proclaimed authority on comedy (in so much as he knew what did not work within Goldoni’s works) also held the professionals of the commedia in high regard and sought to revitalize that faltering genre. He saw his rival’s challenge as the perfect opportunity to both achieve a triumph of pride and to reinvent the commedia form. ... Gozzi’s influence was twofold for, while he did succeed in turning over the stagnant comic trends in Venice in his time, he also breathed new life into commedia dell’arte, one that could survive in the modern era. He had bested his rivals in their own game and emerged on top both intellectually and monetarily as his plays achieved great financial success. But, more importantly, he had used his knowledge of comedy to revitalize a simple story into a highly successful comic work, shaking the very foundations of established theatre in his time and encouraging growth and change.” Gozzi’s play was later adapted as an opera by Prokofiev (see entry 4922, etc.). “This version of The Love of Three Oranges was first performed February 22nd , 2002 in Tustin Studio Theatre at Bucknell University, Lewisburg, PA.” Issued in paper.

Bibliography 2003 [Ragionamento (1586)] Discourse to Lady Lavinia his daughter: concerning the manner in which she should conduct herself when going to court as lady-in-waiting to the Most Serene Infanta, Lady Caterina, Duchess of Savoy. Annibal Guasco; edited, translated, and with an introduction by Peggy Osborn. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2003. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxix, [1], 1-145, [1] pp.: facsims. Annibal Guasco (1540-1619) of Alessandria was a respected man of business, diplomat, and a member of several literary academies. His daughter Lavinia (b. 1574) was the eldest of his three daughters to survive childhood, and was his favourite child. Osborn notes: “His pride in her achievements is immense.” She writes: “Guasco [had] planned a professional career for his young daughter and mapped out an appropriate educational program to equip her for this. ... Unlike most young girls of the time, who were brought up to be pious, chaste, and domesticated in preparation either for marriage or for the cloister, Lavinia was instructed from her earliest infancy in the skills required of a lady-in-waiting at court and is on the very point of embarking on this career as her father concludes the work of advice he has written for her. ... Although virtually disregarded down the centuries, Guasco’s Discourse represents a landmark in the history of women’s education in that it is based on the assumption that, because this young girl possessed outstanding abilities, not only should she be given every opportunity and encouragement to develop them to their fullest potential, but that she should also receive a training to equip her for a career appropriate to her sex where they could be put to good use. Seen against the backdrop of an age when girls were educated for a life of self-effacement and narrow domesticity, this is an astonishingly far-sighted view.” In 1585 the infanta Caterina of Spain came in Turin as the bride of Carlo Emanuele, duke of Savoy (1562-1630), and Lavinia was summoned to court at the age of eleven to begin her service as lady-in-waiting to the duchess.

His Italian Popular Tales was first published in 1885. Crane translated the tales from Italian and its dialects, German, and French. Zipes writes: “Crane’s translations are remarkably accurate. Somehow he mastered different Italian dialects and slang, and though his nineteenth-century English is somewhat archaic and quaint, and his punctuation uneven, there is a ‘raw’ quality to his literal translations that gives them a more ‘authentic’ ring than would a smooth contemporary translation.” This edition was first published in 2001 by ABC-CLIO (see entry 0144).

The surgery of Lanfranchi of Milan: a modern English translation. By Leonard D. Rosenman, MD, from “Lanfranks science of surgery,” a treatise written in 1295 A.D. and translated from Latin in two Middle-English manuscripts of 1380 and soon after; collated and edited by Robert von Fleischhacker, Early English Text Society, Original series 102, London, 1894. [S.l.]: Xlibris Corporation, c 2003. [12], 13-291, [1] pp.: ill. Rosenman states: “Lanfranchi learned his art well from the great William of Saliceto, and became the premier surgeon in his own city, Milan. He suffered the same sort of political disfavor as did Dante Alighieri in Florence a few years later, backing the wrong side in the conflicts between the Popes and the Emperors. He escaped into France with his life and carried the lore of Italian Surgery into Lyon and Paris. With his book and his demonstrated skills and his French pupils, especially Henri de M ondeville, surgery was reborn north of the Alps.” Also issued in paper.

0377 MACHIAVELLI, Niccolò [Arte della guerra (1521)] Art of war. Niccolò Machiavelli. West Valley City: Waking Lion Press, 2003. xliv, 195 pp.

Art of war. Niccolò Machiavelli; translated, edited, and with a commentary by Christopher Lynch. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2003. [6], vii-xlv, [5], 3-262, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, maps. Dell’arte della guerra was the only major prose work M achiavelli published during his lifetime. Lynch writes that the translation: “is the first to incorporate the many significant discoveries included in the recent critical edition of the Italian, edited by Jean-Jacques M archand, Denis Fachard, and Giorgio M asi. The New Italian edition reconstitutes the text as it was first published in Florence in 1521.” Concerning the translation, Lynch writes: “M y first rule has been to render each Italian word by a single English word. Consistent translation allows the reader to concentrate on coming to terms, as it were, with Machiavelli. For example, M achiavelli chose time and time again to use the term ‘ordine’ (consistently translated here as ‘order’) without specifying whether he meant ‘regulation,’ ‘arrangement,’ ‘organization,’ and so forth, all words often used to translate ordine. An overeagerness on my part to make just the right choice among the thirteen or so most common English translation of ordine would, in effect, have drawn a veil between the reader and M achiavelli’s frequent use of this key term. The result of unnecessary variation is that readers are denied the chance to discover for themselves what M achiavelli intended to teach — in each instance and overall — by means of such words and about such words. Consistency gives readers a fighting chance to discover for themselves Machiavelli’s meanings. It also affords them the opportunity to notice lexical connections within and among M achiavelli’s own works, as well as between his works and those of other Romance language and Latin authors.” KVU,LC,UTL

Bibliography 2003 mercantile family. Manetti went to work in his father’s business, but by his mid-twenties he began to study the humanities, mastered Latin and Greek, and at the age of forty turned to the study of Hebrew. He also followed a successful political career, in Florence, and as an ambassador to important Italian cities and to the papal curia. In 1453, as a consequence of disagreements with the policies of Cosimo de’ M edici, he left Florence for Rome, where he became papal secretary to Nicholas V. Shortly after the death of Nicholas, in 1455, M anetti left for Naples to serve Alfonso of Aragon, and later, Ferdinand, who had succeeded his father to the Aragonese throne. He was also elected Papal secretary to the new pontiff Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini). He died in Naples in 1459. The editors write: “In his biography of M anetti, Vespasiano [da Bisticci] celebrates his late friend as unparalleled exemplar of civic virtue and scholarship, as the one who, more than any other humanist, had shed luster on the city of Florence. ... All such laudatory statements, to be sure, have to be taken with due caution. Yet there can be no doubt as to M anetti’s remarkably vast knowledge. His erudition, his eagerness for learning and desire for fame stand out in all his texts. His literary output is impressive both in its volume and in the variety of its topics, moving as it does from treatises on the dignity of man and translation theory to biographies and works of historiography. At the same time, the flaws of his encyclopaedic knowledge are also clear. Above all, his lack of methodological rigor (particularly his uncritical use of sources) marks a regression if compared with the works not only of Bruni and Bracciolini, but even Salutati. Though fascinated by the rhetoric of his older fellow-humanists and the republicanism they fostered, M anetti’s lack of originality makes him rather a conservative figure, both culturally and politically.” Later, the editors note: “[M anetti] was, first and foremost, a merchant, and it must be kept in mind that the Aragonese king granted him and his family extraordinary commercial privileges. Despite his modern image as a republican thinker, his rhetoric was in many ways more fitted to celebrate the glorious triumphs of a kingdom than the wayward aggrandizement of a republic.” CRRS,LC,UTL

[11], xii-xvi, [5], 2-458, [2] pp., [16] pp. of plates: ill. (some col.); maps, ports. Bergreen makes extensive use of Antonio Pigafetta’s diary of the voyage, relying chiefly on James A.

He writes: “where possible I have checked it against the original and other sources, and silently corrected a number of slips and archaic usages or euphemisms. Pigafetta was not a disinterested source. He was, touchingly, a M agellan loyalist, and as a result, made only the briefest mention of the various mutinies during the voyage and M agellan’s drastic efforts to quell them. To present a fuller account of these events, I have turned to the testimony of other sailors who witnessed or participated in them, including de M afra and Vasquito Gallego. In addition to the diaries, Francesco Albo’s pilot log gives a day-by-day record of the voyage.” Reprinted by Perennial and HarperCollins London in 2004. LC,UTL

[Philadelphia, PA]: Xlibris Corporation, c2003. [8], 9-213, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. Crayton tells us that Patrizi (1529-1597; born Cres, Dalmatia, died, Rome): “was one of the great philosophers of the Renaissance and contributed to a wide range of topics, including the nature of history, rhetoric, poetry, music, and, in his final work, a ‘new universal philosophy’ which attempted to bridge ideological chasms among all religions. For one with such wide-ranging views, and hence under the watchful eye of the censors, he was remarkably successful in obtaining the patronage of noblemen, such as Duke Alfonso II, and churchmen such as Pope Clement VIII. He was the most prominent proponent of Plato’s philosophy in his time. ... Patrizi’s Philosophy of Love is both a remarkably detailed description of one of the most famous woman scholars of the sixteenth century, Tarquinia Molza [1542-1617; born and died in M odena], and also a strikingly modern elucidation of the origins of love. Nearly one-half of the book is devoted to a detailed description of Molza, her education, her talents as a musician, poet, and philosopher. In the second half of the book, M olza ‘teaches’ Patrizi her philosophy of love: that ‘all love emanates from the love we have for ourselves.’” Also issued in paper. CRRS,LC

M arsh writes: “In his four invectives, Petrarca assails representatives of four prestigious sources of authority in medieval Europe: the science of medicine (Invective contra medicum, Invectives against a physician, 1355), ecclesiastical dignity (Contra quendam magni status, Invective against a man of high rank, 1355), scholastic philosophy (De sui ipsius et multorum ignorantia, On his own ignorance, 1371), and French culture (Contra eum qui maledixit Italie, Invective against a detractor of Italy, 1373). Together with the letters connected to them, the invectives constitute a principal source for Petrarca’s biography, even if they must be read within the context of a literary tradition ... The violent language of the invectives will shock readers who are more familiar with Petrarca as the sweet celebrant of his love for Laura. ... But Petrarca is consciously drawing on the verbal license of ancient invective ... . Classical invective sought to denigrate an individual on the basis of birth, upbringing, ‘mechanical’ professions, moral defects, physical shortcomings, and so on. It was a branch of epideictic oratory which aimed at undermining the credibility of a judicial witness or political opponent by impugning his integrity.” Once published, Petrarca’s invectives exercised considerable influence on several generation of humanists.

[Correspondence. Selections] Letters from the Rocky Mountain Indian missions. Father Philip Rappagliosi; edited by Robert Bigart; translated from the Italian by Anthony Mattina and Lisa Moore Nardini; translated from the German by Ulrich Stengel. Lincoln; London: University of Nebraska Press, c2003. [12], xiii-xlii, [2], 1-148 pp., [8] pp. of plates: ill.; map, ports. M ost of these letters were first published in 1879 in Memorie del P. Filippo Rappagliosi, D.C.D.G., missionario apostolico nelle Montagne Rocciose. Bigart writes: “The letters of Father Philip Rappagliosi, S.J. [1841-1878], provide one of our most detailed sources on Salish Flathead Indian life in the Bitterroot Valley, M ontana Territory, in the middle 1870s. The descriptions of everyday Salish activities are especially valuable, as most other sources emphasize unusual events over the normal daily routine. The documents also relate valuable information about the lives of the Jesuit missionaries, the different Salish tribes of the Flathead Indian Reservation, the Canadian Kootenai Indians, the Piegan Indians, and the M étis Indians in M ontana Territory. The St. Mary’s M ission letters are the richest sources, presumably because everything was new and exciting to the novice missionary and he had more letter-writing time as he could do little church work until he learned to speak Salish. Because he could speak neither English nor Salish, Rappagliosi’s observations may have been less influenced by biases he would have picked up if he were getting information orally from the local white population. As a window on M ontana Indian life in the 1870s, the letters are a valuable historical source on these Indian communities just before the collapse of the buffalo herds.” LC,UTL

New York; Lincoln; Shanghai: iUniverse, c2003. [6], vii, [1], 1-335, [5] pp. Salgari (1862-1911) wrote more than 200 adventure stories and novels, set in exotic locations, with heroes from a wide variety of cultures. His works were very popular in Italy, and in the Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking countries (he was known as the Italian Jules Verne), but was little known in the rest of the world. Left impoverished by his lack of business acumen, and depressed by the serious illness of his wife, he took his own life. Salgari, like Ian Fleming after him, was popular with prominent people throughout the 20 th century. Among his readers were the composer M ascagni, the film directors Fellini and Sergio Leone, Umberto Eco, Pablo Neruda, Che Guevara, and many others. The Tigers of M ompracem are a band of rebel pirates fighting against the colonial power of the Dutch and British empires. They are led by Sandokan, the “Tiger of M alaysia,” the hero of eleven novels. This story was first published in serial form, and appeared in book form in 1900. Issued in paper. Alvernia,OCLC

(some col.); facsims., plans. This section of the vast architectural treatise by Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616) deals with: “Good and praiseworthy building. The types, appearance and structure of private buildings; the magnificence of Ancient Greek and Roman buildings; the sites and structure of palaces belonging to the most eminent nobility, and every other rank of person, both within Italy and elsewhere, including those designed by the author. Villas and country estates. Both ancient and modern, and the functions of their various parts; including roads, courtyards, orchards, gardens, fishponds and other similar features. Also, how to locate and conduct water, create fountains and other attractions; and the machines and instruments required for raising water.” Concerning the difficulties of Scamozzi’s text, the translators state that they have: “endeavoured to unpick, cut and resew Sacmozzi’s serpentine sentences, packed with subordinate clauses, two (or three) adjectives per noun, quotations, asides, lists, and the opinions and comments of others, and render them with the clarity a modern reader expects, while also striving to preserve something of the flavour of the original text. As an additional resource, an extensive index of ancient names and a section of comprehensive endnotes have been compiled to deal with Scamozzi’s copious references.” LC,UTL

Is anything objectively evil? Is anything objectively good? How does what is evil differ from what is good? Can there be evil without good? Does evil have a cause? Do people have freedom of choice? Or is what they do always outside their control? If people can act freely, under what conditions can they be rightly thought to be responsible for what they do? And how is their behavior to be evaluated and explained? Is there such a thing as sin? If so, what is it? And how does it arise? Does it admit of degrees? Does it come from what is not human. Or does its source lie wholly in us?

03117 VASARI, Giorgio [Le vite de’ più eccellenti architettori, , pittori, e scultori italiani (1549-50). Selections] An annotated and illustrated version of Giorgio Vasari’s History of Italian and northern prints from his Lives of the artists (1550 & 1568). Book 1 [2]. Robert H. Getscher. Lewiston, New York; Queenston, Ontario; Lampeter, Wales: The Edwin Mellen Press, c2003.

2 v ([8], i-xviii, 1-323, [3]; [7], ii-ix, [1] pp., 192 leaves of plates): ill. The first volume contains the text (in de Vere’s translation), the second the illustrations. Getscher points out that Vasari generally listed rather than described prints. He writes: “[Vasari’s] lists of prints become almost more important than his descriptions of paintings. By continually mentioning specific prints, among the thousands that he must have seen, Vasari suggests what should be our visual patrimony. And when Vasari occasionally singled out a work for specific praise, it became even more important. If we want to see the Renaissance as it saw itself, we should consult these prints. As one of the most knowledgeable experts of the time, Vasari provided a capsuled history of the first hundred years of printmaking in the North and Italy, an integral part of his long history, which he divided into three parts or ‘volumes,’ marking stylistic divisions from Giotto to Bronzino, the Trecento, Quattrocento, and Cinquecento.” BNB,Laval

03118 VASARI, Giorgio [Le vite de’ più eccellenti architettori, pittori, e scultori italiani (1549-50). Selections] Life of Michelangelo. Giorgio Vasari; translated by Gaston du C. de Vere; edited and with an introduction by Frank Sadowski, SSP. Staten Island, New York; St Pauls: Alba House, c2003. [4], v-x, 1-150 pp. Sadowski writes: “In 1553, the artist Ascanio Condivi published a biography of M ichelangelo based on extensive talks with the great man [for a translation, see 1976, 1987]. When Vasari revised his biography of M ichelangelo, he used Condivi as one of his sources, although he was not above pointing out where his rival had been in error. Vasari was also able to draw on his own experience, for he had become a close friend and professional colleague of M ichelangelo ... . Of all the biographies in Vasari’s work, the one on M ichelangelo is the longest and most heartfelt. Using all the sources available to him, Vasari produced a vivid, comprehensive, and substantially accurate account of M ichelangelo as an artist, a man, and a devout Catholic. All of his major works (and most of his minor ones) are discussed at considerable length. In large part, through anecdotes and letters, Michelangelo is allowed to tell his own story, from the time when ‘I sucked in with my nurse’s milk the chisels and hammer with which I make my figures’ to when he said, ‘I am so old that death often pulls me by the cloak, that I may go with him.’” Issued in paper.

03119 A Venetian affair. Andrea Di Robilant. New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2003. (A Borzoi book) [10], 5-313, [1] pp.: facsim. Di Robilant’s book is based on the letters between Andrea M emmo (1729-1793), a young Venetian nobleman, and

Bibliography 2003 Giustiniana Wynne (later Justine Wynne, Grafin von Rosenberg-Orsini, 1732-1791), a young Anglo-Italian woman. He writes: “It was unthinkable in those days for a prominent member of the ruling elite such as Andrea to marry a girl with Giustiniana’s murky lineage. She had been born out of wedlock, her mother’s background was chequered at best, and her father was an obscure English baronet, and a Protestant to boot.” In 1754 Giustiniana’s mother, concerned for the marital prospects of her daughter, brought an end to the relationship. But, Di Robilant writes: “M rs. Anna’s ban seemed to spell the end of [Andrea and Giustiniana’s] forbidden love. But their timeworn letters have continued to surface over the years ... to reveal that in fact this was only the beginning of a remarkable love story.” A part of this story which involved the couple and their mutual friend, Giacomo Casanova, has already been told in Bruno Brunelli’s Un’amica del Casanova, Casanova loved her (see Healey, 1998, entries 2903-4). A Venetian Affair seems to have caught on.

[Sicilianische Märchen (1870). Selections] Beautiful Angiola: the great treasury of Sicilian folk and fairy tales collected by Laura Gonzenbach; translated and edited by Jack Zipes; illustrations by Joellyn Rock. New York; London: Routledge, c2004. [6], vii-xxxii, [2], 2-364, [4] pp.: ill. Laura Gonzenbach (1842-1878) was born in Messina to a Swiss commercial agent and his German wife. Laura attended a small private German-Swiss school in M essina, and received an excellent education. Though she could not attend a university, she participated in the cultural life of M essina, and was known as an exceptional storyteller. She married an Italian from Savoy, bore him five children, and died in M essina at age thirty-six. As a young woman she recorded the tales told to her by peasant and lower middle-class women in M essina and Catania and in the villages near M t. Etna. Gonzenbach immediately translated these tales into German, and passed some of them on to Dr. Otto Hartwig, a theologian and historian who was appointed minister to the German Protestant communities in M essina and Palermo in 1860. Hartwig was writing a history of Sicily, and needed some folktales. By 1868, Gonzenbach had provided him with ninety-two tales, and these he published in Leipzig, with notes by the folklore scholar Reinhold Köhler. In a letter to Hartwig, Gonzenbach stated: “Now I’d like to tell you that I’ve done my best to write down the tales exactly as they were told to me. However, I’ve not been able to recapture the genuine charm of these tales that lies in the manner and way the tales are told by these Sicilian women. M ost of them tell the tales in a lively fashion by acting out the entire plot with their hands making very expressive gestures. While talking, they even stand up and walk around the room when it’s appropriate. They never use ‘he says’ because they change the people’s voices always through intonation.” Zipes comments: “What distinguishes [her] collection from most others of the nineteenth century is the variety of the tales, their proximity to the oriental and occidental storytelling traditions, the dominance of female informants, and the abundant references to Sicilian peasant customs and beliefs. There are explicit details of ferocious familial conflicts, arbitrary violence, sadistic punishment, and immoral love — in short, an acknowledgement of aspects of life generally censored in most nineteenth-century collections. Moreover ... the tales have a distinct feminine if not ‘feminist’ lower-class perspective.” Köhler organized the German edition according to tale types, but Zipes, to avoid a possibly tedious repetition of plots and motifs, has “taken the liberty of mixing the tales according to [his] taste.” LC,UTL

Texts in Italian, with English translations. For a note on Bigolina, see the 2005 translation of Urania (without the Italian text), published by University of Chicago Press, entry 0511. Nissen writes: “I have prepared my Italian text directly from [the manuscript] Trivulziana 88, with a number of editorial changes intended to make the text more accessible to the modern reader. These include the creation of paragraphs and the addition of quotation marks, as well as capitalizations according to modern norms. ... In my English translation, I have consistently broken Bigolina’s long sentences into a series of smaller ones to make her prose style more palatable to the modern reader, and have sometimes substituted characters’ names for pronouns when necessary, in order to make her meaning clearer. Concerning the novella, Nissen notes: “Dispensing with references to the machinations of the gods, as is fitting in a work purporting to concern history, [Bigolina] creates a character who can overcome the haughty ‘man’s man’ solely through her own abilities. Thesibaldo’s new motto TU SOLA PUOI would seem to be emblematic for both Giulia Camposanpiero and Giulia Bigolina: if the former can win the unwinnable man, arrange a secret marriage and thereby change her state through sexual triumph from ‘donzella’ [maid] to completely fulfilled ‘donna’ [woman], so too can the latter, ‘donna mal’usa a questo,’ be the one who succeeds in properly recounting the tale.” He continues: “Bigolina emphasizes a similarly subtle association between the values and abilities of the authorial persona and those of the female protagonist in Urania, wherein Urania’s actions reflect what the narrator has learned about portraiture and self-expression in the allegorical poem. This tendency to allow for an interpenetration of ethical messages between authorial persona and narrative protagonist, which is a feature of both of Bigolina’s surviving works, constitutes one of her most remarkable literary traits, and one for which she especially deserves to be remembered.” CRRS,LC,UTL

(The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxvii, [1], 1-347, [1] pp.: ill.; facsim., port. M addalena Campiglia (1553-1595) was born and lived her life in Vicenza. She was married at the age of 23, but the marriage was a failure, and by 1583 Campiglia had returned to her (now deceased) father’s house. From the mid-1580s, Campiglia concentrated her energies on her literary career. Cox and Sampson write: “Campiglia seems to have been well integrated in Vicentine literary society, in a manner attested by the barrage of commendatory sonnets that accompany her works. Nor was her circle of acquaintance circumscribed to her home city. Her literary connections elsewhere included the poets Angelo Grillo (1550-1629) and Orsatto Giustinian (1538-ca. 1603), respectively Genoese and Venetian in origin, as well as, most prestigiously, the peripatetic Torquato Tasso, the greatest poet of his day.” Her pastoral drama Flori was influenced by Tasso’s Aminta, and probably by Battista Guarino’s Il pastor fido (1589), which circulated in manuscript in northern Italy as early as 1583. Cox and Sampson comment: “Like most pastoral dramas, Flori is tragicomic, submitting its protagonists to the experiences of bereavement, madness, and unrequited passion before allowing them solace in the form of the concluding sequence of family reunions and love-matches.” Also issued in paper.

0412 CAPOFERRO, Ridolfo [Gran simulacro dell’arte e dell’uso della scherma (1610)] Italian rapier combat.

London: Greenhill Books; Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania: Stackpole Books, 2004. [6], 7-147, [1] pp.: ill.; facsims.

Egerton Castle wrote, in his Schools and Masters of Fencing (London: Bell, 1885): “Of all the Italian works on fencing, none ever had such a share in fixing the principles of the science ... The theories which [Capo Ferro] enunciates, the system that he followed .. Were hardly improved on by anyone.” Kirby states: “Many people consider [the Gran simulacro] the most comprehensive, complete and carefully written work ever published on the Italian rapier. In his book, Capo Ferro solidifies the foundation of the principles of this art and science. These fundamental principles of fencing had been in use for hundreds of years, but Capo Ferro presented them in a clear, succinct manner which became the framework for many authors to follow.” Kirby secured help from Ramón M artinez and Jeannette Acosta-M artinez, experts in the field, when the translation he had funded proved full of errors. He comments: “The technical nature of this treatise is such that the fencing terms have been left in Italian and italicized. These technical terms are best left in their original language because their meanings cannot be conveyed by any particular English word. It is important to understand these words in their own contexts. To help facilitate this I have included a glossary prepared by M aestri M artinez and Acosta-M artinez.” The translation includes the illustrations from the 1610 edition, together with several plates from the 1629 edition in which the original backgrounds of hills and castles have been replaced with Old Testament scenes.

The Galileo Project notes: “Antonio Castelli was born in Brescia, Italy, in 1578 and took the name Benedetto upon entering the Benedictine order in 1595. From perhaps 1604 to 1607 he lived in a monastery in Padua and studied under Galileo. Upon receiving a copy of Sidereus Nuncius, in Brescia in 1610, he applied for a transfer to Florence, where he arrived in 1611. Castelli helped see Galileo’s Discourse on Floating Bodies through the press and published the reply (largely written by Galileo) to the polemics against it. Castelli was also active in the initial stages of Galileo’s sunspot research in 1612, coming up with the method of projecting the Sun’s image through the telescope. ... Castelli moved to Rome in 1626 to become a consultant to the Pope on the management of rivers in the Papal States (a perennial problem) and professor of mathematics at the university of Rome. In 1628 he published the important work on hydraulics, Della Misura dell’Acque Correnti, ... a book that may be considered the foundation of modern hydrodynamics. Castelli also made important discoveries about illumination ..., vision, after-images, and diaphragms in telescopes. He was also a pioneer in the study of differential absorption of heat by different colors. To the end, he was a faithful friend of Galileo.” Castelli was a teacher of Evangelista Torricelli (1608-1647). He died in 1643, a year after his teacher Galileo. CRRS,LC,UTL

Caraci Luzzana writes: “The History ... was published at Venice in 1571 by Francesco de’Franceschi Senese, a wellknown printer in that city. It had been translated from Spanish into Italian by Alfonso de Ulloa, who was also well known at Venice for a number of previous translations from Spanish to Italian and vice-versa. That Venice was the place of publication was no accident. Venice was the only state in Italy still independent from Spanish domination, which by then extended over the entire peninsula; it was a very important publishing center, and the relative freedom deriving from its political independence made possible the publication of books which would undoubtedly have been censored elsewhere in Italy. And the History too, in a certain sense, was an audacious book, for while it constantly exalted Spanish greatness and power, it also leveled explicit — and for their time severe — criticisms against the Catholic monarchs, Fernando and Isabel, for repaying Columbus, who had given them an empire, with the denial of his legitimate rights and those of his descendants.” See also entries 5910, and 9815.

By Anthony K. Cassell. Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, c2004. [6], vii-xii, [2], 3-403, [1] pp. Dante’s political treatise on the Empire and the Papacy defends the three propositions that temporal monarchy is necessary, that the Roman people have justly assumed the right of dominion, and that imperial authority proceeds directly from God. Cassell’s study examines the historical background to the treatise’s composition, and the efforts by papal authorities to ban the book after Dante’s death. The date of composition of Monarchia is disputed (Cassell places it around 1318), while the Refutation by Guido Vernani, a Dominican, is dated to 1329. The bull Si fratrum, which sparked the crisis, is dated 1316-17. Monarchia was first printed in 1559. It was listed in the Index in 1564, and was only removed in 1881.

The poem includes many Gallicisms, with the evident intent, according to Contini, of caricature; that is, for comic effect rather than for linguistic reasons. The attribution to Dante, by Castets, Domenico De Robertis, Contini, and others is based on their detection of a sustained series of lexical, rhythmic, phonic, and syntactic correspondences with the works of the poet, to an extent not found in other writers of the 13 th and 14 th centuries.

The first part of Garibaldi’s autobiography was published in English in 1860 in New York, in the wake of the 1859 campaign, as The Life of General Garibaldi. Garibaldi’s account of his South American years was published in Turin in 1860. After his return to Caprera, Garibaldi revised and added to the text, but the final version appeared only after his death in 1882. This translation, writes Parkin: “is an abridgement of the original work, concentrating on Garibaldi in Italy from the date of his return from South America in 1848 to his final campaign on the Italian mainland in 1867. These were the years in which Italy was made ... principally by Garibaldi and his volunteer forces.” In his foreword, Tim Parks comments: “Giuseppe Garibaldi is the most colourful and immediately attractive figure of the Italian Risorgimento, and indeed of modern Italian history in general. Yet his memoirs are rarely read in Italy and certainly never recommended to the schoolchildren who are taught to revere his patriotism. So I had long assumed they must be dull. Nothing could be further from the truth. About halfway through

Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, c2004. {8], ix-xlv, [3], 3-286, [4] pp. The publisher notes: “The Deeds of Pope Innocent III, composed before 1210 by an anonymous member of the papal curia, provides a unique window into the activities, policies, and strategies of the papacy and the curia during one of the most important periods in the history of the medieval church. Innocent III, who became pope in 1198 and reigned until 1216, has long been regarded as one of the most important popes in history. This partial biography covering the first ten years of Innocent’s pontificate was written by a cleric close to the pope and familiar with the curia. The translator ... suggests that it was written by the canonist and later cardinal Peter of Benevento. Peter had a profound knowledge of southern Italy and closely followed Innocent’s efforts to unify the churches of the East and West and to promote the crusade.” ERI,KSM ,UTL

(Medieval texts in translation) [6], vii-xxx, [2], 1-131, [5] pp. The publisher notes: “When Innocent III became Pope in 1198, he announced that he had been elevated to a position ‘between God and man.’ This audacious claim has often been quoted to characterize the papal monarchy over which he presided and the secular powers he wielded for the eighteen years of his controversial tenure. The sermons presented in this collection cast clearer light on Innocent’s concept of what his duties were as priest and bishop. Innocent was renowned as a preacher, one who faithfully fulfilled that pastoral duty throughout his career.” These sermons, whose major theme is the responsibility of the clergy to function as intermediaries between divinity and humanity, particularly in preaching and in administering the sacraments, are prefaced by a letter to Arnald, Abbot of Cîteaux (always included as a prologue to Innocent’s sermon collections). They are: In council of priests; On the consecration of the supreme pontiff; On the first anniversary; On the consecration of pontiffs; Convening the fourth general council of the Lateran; In synod.

Leader writes: “One of the most celebrated condottieri was the Englishman John Hawkwood, or as his contemporary Italian chroniclists put it ‘Giovanni Acuto;’ whom Filippo Villani proclaims as ‘grand master of war.’ Giovio with elegant laconism defines him acerrimus bellator et cunctator egregius, while M uratori recognises him as a ‘brave and wary captain,’ qualifying his praise however by adding ‘a brigand of the first

Rafter and Gibson write: “In working on this translation, we occasionally flinched at reproducing Lombroso’s gaffs [sic] and missteps — his sloppy use of numbers, uncritical examples, unsophisticated generalizations, internal contradictions in the text, and overall incoherence. Our temptation here was akin to what translation theorists call ennoblement — the temptation ... to make translated material more flowery or elevated than the original. But if our temptation was similar to that of ennoblers, it was certainly not the same; few translators can have had to cope as we did with outright foolishness on the part of the source author. ... Our key concern was to produce a full (if abbreviated) and accurate translation, a concern that led to our explicit resolve to include the warts. We still flinched, but having recognized the temptation to hide Lombroso’s faults, we were better able to resist it.” A translation of much of La donna delinquente was first published in New York by Appleton in 1895 (see 1958, 1959 for reprints); the translator was not named.

0461 Love & death in Renaissance Italy. Thomas V. Cohen. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2004. [6], vii-viii, [2], 1-306, [4] pp.: ill. Cohen presents a series of six stories based on court papers, processi, from the records of the criminal court of the governor of Rome (usually a bishop, and a papal bureaucrat with several jobs) in the sixteenth century. He writes: “What makes processi so fascinating to historians is the nature of the papers they produced. In theory, the court notary was bound to take down everything, verbatim — indeed, not only words but even

blushes, sighs, shrugs, and tears. For all his scribal skills, it is unlikely the notary succeeded. On paper, depositions lack some of the jerky quality of real speech, with its false starts, hesitations, and repetitions. And assorted Italian dialects all come out looking like the homogenized, semi-Tuscan language understood up and down the Boot. Nevertheless, clearly the notary came close; his record retains much of the tang of actual speech. Witnesses and suspects have very distinct, very personal voices; their recorded talk often conserves its metaphor and lilt. The scribal hand, it seems, was light, and the ear was true. Consequently, these court papers are marvelous cultural documents; they open windows onto modes of thought and speech and tell precious stories about how sixteenth-century Italy worked.” Cohen used these accounts, some translated by his Italian-speaking students, as teaching tools. Cohen is a professor of history at York University, Toronto. KSM ,KVU,UTL

[7], viii-x, [3], 2-337, [1] pp.: facsims. Deigan writes: “M y guiding principle throughout these translations has been to remain as close as possible to the figures of speech present in the original. Furthermore, I have aimed at a stylistic compromise similar to the original. M anzoni intended to innovate from within the tradition of the tragic genre. Accordingly, when composing the tragedies’ dialogues, he could not but opt for the endecasillabo sciolto, the meter traditionally employed in tragedy. However, he avoided the artificiality in which Italian poetry had fallen over the previous few centuries by eliminating Latinisms in both lexicon and syntax and by using words and constructs that his contemporary readers could understand. In my translation, therefore, I employed ... blank verse for the dialogues ... . I restricted the use of learned words and inverted syntax to a few cases of brief replies in the dialogue, where it was necessary to heighten the stylistic level from an excessively prosaic tone.” Deigan notes that her translations were made as part of a doctoral dissertation defended at Johns Hopkins in 1999; that is, some three years before the publication of M ichael J. Curley’s translations of the same plays (see entry 0283). KSM ,LC,UTL

Lorenzino (1514-1548) befriended, and then murdered his distant cousin Alessandro, Duke of Florence, who was four years his senior. In his foreword, Tim Parks notes that Lorenzino: “became [Alessandro’s] companion in debauchery, an able procurer of women, an adviser, a buffoon, a heavy drinker. Then, at a certain point, he decided to kill him. ‘M y beautiful aunt,’ he told Alessandro one night in 1537, ‘is at last ready to grant you her favours. You can wait for her in my bedroom.’ Alessandro rose to the bait. He lay down on his cousin’s bed and shut his eyes. Together with a hired assassin, Lorenzino ... stabbed him to death and fled before the body was discovered.” Lorenzino, moving nervously from town to town, survived for ten years, until Francesco Bibboni and an accomplice caught up with him in Venice. Parks writes: “Immoral and aristocratic, Lorenzini de’ M edici becomes famous writing a work of great morality and enthusiastic republicanism. The nineteenth-century poet Giacomo Leopardi would refer to the Apology as the best prose writing of its time.” Parks considers that Lorenzino wrote his Apology in an attempt to achieve fame, that he wanted to be noticed.

(Italian literature and thought series) [11], x-xxvii, [4], 4-178 pp. Carlo M ichelstaedter (1887-1910) was born into a cultured Jewish Italian family in Gorizia, a small town to the northeast of Trieste. He studied in Florence from 1905 to 1909, and the editors write: “His years in Florence were filled with study and intellectual growth but also with repeated failures and disillusionment. His attempts to join the editorial staffs of several publications were unsuccessful, as were his proposals for the translation of various works from German. His close friendship with the young Russian divorcee Nadia Baraden ended tragically with her suicide in 1907, and his intended engagement with a Catholic classmate, Iolande De Blasi, met stiff opposition from his family. His childhood companion Enrico M ruele departed for Argentina, not to return in M ichelstaedter’s lifetime, and his brother died under mysterious circumstances in New York. In the end, suffering from isolation and a depressive melancholy that would accompany him to the end of his brief life, Carlo returned to the familiar atmosphere of Gorizia in 1909 to prepare his dissertation.” That dissertation was Persuasion & Rhetoric, which was submitted on October 16, 1910. The next day, M ichelstaedter committed suicide. His work was published in 1913, in 1922, 1958, 1972, and in a critical edition in 1982. The editors write: “The staying power of a text by an immature author who was never personally in a

In 1441, at about age twenty-three, she chose neither of the two careers normally open to a woman of her age and rank, marriage or the convent, but instead took up the life of a scholar in the household of her mother and brother [in Verona]. Over the next ten years, she won renown as a learned woman and a holy virgin. In 1451, her friendship with the governor of her city, Ludovico Foscarini, became the occasion for her most important work, a dialogue on the relative sinfulness of Adam and Eve. The dialogue was the opening volley in a series of major works published between 1453 and 1461, the year her mother died. Soon thereafter, she entered the household of her admirer Foscarini, who provided support and promoted her reputation as a holy woman, until her death in 1466" M argaret L.

Although there are reasons for doubting the literal truth of this assertion, he probably did write his guide in a short period. Nevertheless, the result of his hurried labors is a small gem of travel literature, which has been called ‘the first instance of a literary and historical pilgrimage.’ Above all, the guide radiates with Petrarch’s enthusiasm for what he is describing.” Issued in paper.

He has published nine volumes of poetry, and translations of poems by Rilke, M iroslav Holub, Tu Fu (712770), Pablo Neruda, and Yu Xuanji (210-263). Young writes: “I translate poems for the same reason that I seek out and read translations: to develop acquaintance with poets and poetry I might not otherwise be able to know. In the case of Petrarch, I began producing versions of his sonnets to share with my students who were trying to understand the tradition in which Shakespeare worked. I wanted something that would feel contemporary to them, written in a living language they would recognize as peotry, and something that would also retain the flavor and distinctiveness of the past. A difficult prescription, surely, but a worthwhile negotiation involving two languages, two times, two sets of possibilities. M y solution was to retain the part of Petrarch’s formality that was manageable— a regularity of meter that would also recall Shakespeare’s example— without attempting to replicate the difficult rhyme schemes.” He acknowledges his debt primarily to the English prose version of Petrarch by Robert Durling (1976), and also to recent translations by James Wyatt Cook, M ark M usa, Nicholas Kilmer, J. G. Nichols, and to the versions spanning several centuries collected by Thomas G. Bergin (1954).

0488 Renaissance fables. Aesopic prose by Leon Battista Alberti, Bartolomeo Scala, Leonardo da Vinci, Bernardino Baldi; translated with an introduction and notes by David Marsh. Tempe, Arizona: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2004. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; v. 260) [9], 2-367, [1] pp. Latin or Italian texts with parallel English translation.

Alberti and Scala wrote their apologues in Latin, Leonardo and Baldi in Italian. M arsh writes: “Within [the] Aesopic context, a new sort of philosophical fable was established by Leon Battista Alberti’s Centum apologi, a pithy collection of Latin prose fables which he wrote in just nine days between 16 and 24 December 1437. These brief works soon inspired the Latin collections of Bartolomeo Scala’s Apologi centum (1481) and Apologorum liber secundus (1499-92), while in Italian they were imitated in Leonardo da Vinci’s scattered favole (ca. 1485-1495) and in Bernardino Baldi’s 1852 Cento apologhi (first published in 1590). Alberti’s influence as a prose fabulist was not limited to his Apologi, for he also imitated Aesop in various fable-like Intercenales, which Scala and Leonardo seem to have known. Alberti’s title Apologi is derived from the Latin tradition rather than from Greek sources. ... In early Latin, apologus denotes a fable ... . In the classical period, it is used by Roman writers on rhetoric who recommend that orators use amusing fables to win their hearers’ sympathy.” CRRS,KSM ,UTL

Tempe, Arizona: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2004. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; v. 266) [7], viii, [1], 1-177, [7] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. Scetti was a Florentine musician condemned to service on a Tuscan galley for the murder of his wife. The manuscript of his journal is held at the Biblioteca nazionale marciana in Venice. M onga translated his own 1999 study and edition which was the first publication of Scetti’s journal. Scetti’s eventual fate is unknown, though it appears that he was never granted a pardon, as had been promised to his father by Cosimo I de’ M edici. M onga writes: “Aurelio Scetti’s reflection on his personal experience, like all travel and personal narratives, consists of an anthology of selected events, chosen to enhance a specific goal. Unlike many other autobiographical texts, Scetti’s plea to the Grand Duke of Tuscany clearly states his intentions. The title of his manuscript proclaims with no doubt that ‘these are all the glorious enterprises of the galleys of the Serenissima Grand Duke of Tuscany,’ an obvious captatio benevolentiae for the only person who can release him from ‘the pains and afflictions’ endured during his time as a galley slave.” CRRS,OCLC,UTL

[6], vii-xxix, [1], 1-182, [4] pp. The Venetian Arcangela Tarabotti (1604-1652) was a plain child, and lame. Her father therefore considered her unmarriageable, and consigned her to a Benedictine convent as a child of eleven. As a Benedictine nun she took her vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but also that of stability — to remain in the same convent for life and to be buried there. Panizza writes: “Tarabotti cannot be placed in any conventional literary slot; her writings, including this one, both elude the usual categories and mix features of many of them. Paternal Tyranny is predominantly an invective against the oppressions of patriarchy, but is also a treatise on the evils of forcing young girls into a life they are not suited for, a psychological autobiography on the torments of childhood and adolescence in the Venetian family of her day, a confession to God of a soul’s suffering, a literary critique of major texts of contemporary misogyny, a feminist commentary on the Bible, and finally, the first manifesto about women’s inalienable rights to liberty, equality, and universal education. Passages in Paternal Tyranny could have come from the circle of M ary Wollstonecraft or John Stuart Mill two centuries later. This book is Tarabotti’s J’accuse, in which the tone of an avenging angel remains a constant.” Also issued in paper. KSM ,LC,UTL

The translation form Aquinas is chiefly based on the Quaestio disputata de virtutibus cardinalibus (1271-72). The publisher notes: “ The translations ... concentrate on the four cardinal virtues — prudence, justice, courage, and temperance — first identified by Plato as essential requirements for living a happy and morally good life.” KSM ,LC,UTL

The texts translated here are the Vita primi Sancti Francisci (1228-29), the Vita secunda Sancti Francisci (1245-47), and the Tractatus de miraculis B. Francisci (1250-52). The editors comment on the first text in this way: “Thomas of Celano’s The Life of Saint Francis is a master’s tapestry interweaving multiple colored threads of hagiography, historical data, invitation towards gospel and ecclesial renewal, and identification of the mission and formation of the brothers after Francis.” The texts were written in response to requests by Pope Gregory IX (Vita prima), by Crescentius of Jesi, the General M inister (Vita secunda), and by Brother John of Parma, Crescentius’s successor (Tractatus de miraculis). The editors note: “His exceptional writing ability indicates Thomas received a solid liberal arts education in the basic curriculum of study in the M iddle Ages, the trivium and quadrivium, possibly at the Benedictine monastery of Saint John the Baptist near Celano. His knowledge of the monastic literary tradition as well as his theological acumen supports the opinion that he studied theology, perhaps at M onte Cassino, Rome, or Bologna.” Issued in paper.

M affeo Vegio (Maphaeus Vegius, 1406 or 7-1458) was born in Lodi, a small town southeast of M ilan. As a boy he heard St. Bernardino of Siena preach, and got from him a certain feeling for mysticism. His education, however, was in law at the nearby University of Pavia, where he devoted his efforts to literature, and lived the goliardic life. His greatest success as a poet came at the early age of twenty-one, with the publication of the Supplementum, a continuation to Virgil’s Aeneid. The poem is included here, together with his Astyanax, (1430), the Vello d’oro (The Golden Fleece, 1431), and the Antoniados (on an episode in the life of St. Anthony of the Desert, 1437). Putnam notes: “He wrote two other poetic work in an attempt to flatter his way into the circle of Duke Filippo M aria Visconti at Milan ... . When these failed in their mission, he turned successfully to the papal court and to Pope Eugenius IV, to whom he may have been introduced by his friend and fellow humanist, Lorenzo Valla.” He continued to write, on the religious life (De perseverantia religionis, 1448, which he dedicated to his sister, a nun), education, and church history. He ended his life as a canon of the Basilica of St. Peter. Parallel texts in Latin and English. CRRS,LC,UTL

Ottawa, Canada: The Institute of Mediæval Music, c2004. (Collected Works; vol. 23; Gesamtausgaben; Bd. 23) [2], iii-lxvi, [3], 2-223, [3] pp.: music. Beecher writes: “Orazio Vecchi’s Veglie di Siena (1604) belongs to a particular sub-genre of madrigal writing that emerged in the second half of the sixteenth century. In this, his fourth collection, he fell upon the idea of reconstructing in madrigals an evening of games in the Sienese style. His title means, literally, ‘Sienese evenings’ but with overtones of ‘a fashionable assembly in the Sienese manner’ as well as ‘staying awake’ to draw out the pleasures of the soirée, hence a watch or a night party.” The main part of this publication is Vecchi’s score, but Beecher has also provided the Italian texts in verse form, followed by an English translation (pp. xxxvii-lii), and the title page, dedication, and ‘to the reader’ in Italian and English (pp. liii-lxii).

Holy Roman Emperor from 1658 to 1705. Pinton writes: “After becoming familiar with the intrigues of the Viennese court, Carafa gradually learned the secrets of state and the arts of public administration and of governing. Enjoying the favor of the emperor and of the royal princes related to the Habsburgs, Charles of Lorraine and M aximillian of Bavaria, Carafa was allowed to leave the Viennese court for the Hungarian marches. His military experience grew under the leadership of generals such as M ontecuccoli and Lorraine and he was promoted to higher ranks according to the many accomplishments that revealed his bravery, foresight, prudence, strategy, and political diplomacy. Leopold appointed him M ilitary Governor first of Upper Hungary and then of Transylvania as well as General Commissary all imperial armies on all fronts: Rhine, Danube, and Po. However, because of the jealous attacks of his rivals, Carafa was recalled to Vienna where he died of despair.” Thomas Bergin notes that: “although [De rebus gestis Antonj Caraphaei] was commissioned by the family of the subject, Vico displays his objectivity and his talents as a historian.” (Dictionary of Italian Literature, 1979: 542).

0501 ALGAROTTI, Francesco [Saggio sopra l’opera in musica (1755, 1763)] An essay on the opera / Saggio sopra l’opera in musica. By Francesco Algarotti; anonymous English translation 1768; edited with notes and introduction by Robin Burgess. Lewiston; Queenston; Lampeter: The Edwin Mellen Press, c2005. [9], ii-xix, [4], 4-113, [7]; [1] col. leaf of plates: port. Count Francesco Algarotti (1712-1764) is best known for his dialogue on Newtonian physics, first published in Italian in 1737, and translated as Sir Isaac Newton’s Philosophy Explain’d for the Use of the Ladies, in Six Dialogues on Light and Colours (London, printed for E. Cave, 1739). He was also an important contributor to the lively debate over the principles and practice of opera in the middle decades of the 18 th century. In her preface, Patricia Howard writes: “Algarotti’s Saggio is central to the debate: it deals with all the major issues; it was the most widely quoted of all the texts; and it addresses opera both as a philosophical conundrum and as a living theatrical experience. Although he was concerned with the theory of each constituent part of opera, Algarotti’s writing reveals much practical experience in the opera house. He is knowledgeable about voices and orchestras. His advice on theatre construction from the point of view of design, acoustics and sight-lines is still valid. And he supported his criticism of contemporary librettos by offering two models (neither of which was ever set): a detailed scenario for Enea in Troia and a complete libretto (in French) for Iphigénie en Aulide.” The 1768 edition was published in Glasgow, printed for R. Urie, and was a virtual reprint of the 1767 edition, published in London, printed for L. Davis and C. Reymers. The author statement for both editions is “written in Italian by Count Algarotti.” Burgess suggests that the anonymous translator may well be: “Elizabeth Carter, who translated Algarotti’s earlier work on Newton’s optics and was adept in Italian and several other languages.” Burgess also suggests as a possibility, though adducing little evidence, that the translator was Oliver Goldsmith.

Parte seconda (1605), with parallel English translations. This is the first edition of a substantial number of Andreini’s poems in English. The translator notes: “I have chosen to approximate the Italian original with English blank verse that, while rendering the Italian very literally, strives to reflect the tone and nuance of the original in the English simulacrum. This practice has produced a diction that feels to me broadly modern, though it does occasionally produce verb-noun and noun-adjective inversions that may strike some as archaic. In my view, however, such inversions are legitimate resources for writers working in fixed forms. Although I have sacrificed rhyme in general, I have made no effort to suppress accidental rhyme when it occurs.” He also writes: “Her principal innovation as a lyricist, perhaps, appears when she adopts both male and female personae and points of view in her poems. With respect to earlier Italian lyric verse, this androgyny of poetic voice seems to be her particular contribution.” For a note on Andreini, see the entry for the translation of her pastoral play Mirtilla (see entry 0202).

Translated from the Latin by David Burr and E. Randolph Daniel. St. Bonaventure, NY: Franciscan Institute Publications, 2005. [11], ii-xxxii, [1], 2-242, [4] pp. The history of Angelus Clarenus (ca. 1255-1337) begins with the speech of Christ to Francis, and recounts Franciscan history to the Avignon pontificate of John XXII (1316-1334). The introduction by Burr and Daniel summarizes Clareono’s life, use of sources, writing style, and historical impact. The 1907 Catholic Encyclopedia notes that Clareno was: “One of the leaders of the so-called Spiritual Franciscans ... . Believing that the rule of St. Francis was not being observed and interpreted according to the mind and spirit of the Seraphic Father, he retired to a hermitage with a few companions and formed a new branch of the order known as the ‘Clareni.’ ... But the number of Angelo’s followers was small; and his so-called reform brought upon himself in particular, and the ‘Clareni’ in general, the suspicious disfavour of the Friars Minor who were not prepared to follow the extreme interpretation of the rule of St. Francis which Angelo had adopted.” He was accused, and acquitted (1311) of a charge of heresy. His book “records the persecutions suffered by the ‘Spirituals,’ beginning with the innovations made during St. Francis’ sojourn in the East, and continuing under Elias, Crescentius, and Bonaventure. The work is characterized by heroic endurance, but is tinged with bias and

Cambridge [etc.]: Cambridge University Press, 2005. [6], vii-xii, 1-504, [4] pp.: ill.; ports. This edition is the first complete English translation of Bellori’s Lives, and includes the three posthumously published lives of Guido Reni, Andrea Sacchi, and Carlo M aratti, and 43 engravings from the editio princeps of 1672. It is based on Evalina Borea’s Italian edition, published in 1976 by G. Einaudi. Alice Wohl writes: “Bellori’s style is sober and reserved, his language is plain, and his tone is generally unemphatic. However, as the observant reader will note, his ‘simplest and purest means’ are carefully controlled: his words are charged with meaning, and his exposition is subtle; his control becomes most clear when he alters his style to suit his subject, as in the description of Caracci’s Sleeping Venus and Domenichino’s Hunt of Diana. His sentences tend to be organized in strings of phrases and clauses reflecting a complete sequence of facts or events, without great emphasis on the most significant or dramatic element.” Wohl gives as an example Bellori’s account of Caravaggio’s killing of a young friend — a crucial event in the artist’s life — but expressed in fewer than thirty words.

Bibliography 2005 [6], vii-xxi, [2], 2-278, [4] pp. Chatfield notes that: “The Carminum libellus [1552-53, prepared for posthumous publication by Bembo himself] is an eclectic collection, which seems to have been put together by Bembo to demonstrate his skill at composing in various meters and for various occasions. The text as Bembo arranged it ... is organized to mirror the passage of his emotional life.” Chatfield also includes poems excluded by Bembo from the Carminum libellus, and some poems attributed to Bembo. De Aetna is in the form of a dialogue between Bembo and his father about Bembo’s climb up the volcano. It was published when he was only twenty-five. Chatfield notes that: “the work radiates the joy of his just completed studies and the satisfaction of being in possession of information which everyone wants to hear. Though it is ostensibly about the father’s desire to learn about the fires of Etna and the son’s desire to describe his trip up the mountain, it has as its subtext young Bembo’s absorption in learning and his father’s dedication to Venetian politics.” Latin text and English translation on facing pages.

869 translated by Valeria Finucci. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2005. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [8], ix-xxxiii, [1], 1-192, [6] pp. Finucci writes: “Giulia Bigolina (ca. 1518-ca. 1569) was a polished writer of prose fiction whose name and work have been recovered only very recently. Although known in her lifetime and admired for her learning, she never published any of her work. ... Yet in the archives of the Biblioteca Trivulziana in M ilan and in an eighteenth-century copy at the Vatican Library in Rome, there is the manuscript of what was to become her claim to fame, a long prose romance entitled Urania that was published for the first time in 2002 [edited by Finucci]. Currently, this romance constitutes, together with [Bigolina’s] novella “Giulia [Camposampiero and Tesibaldo Vitaliani],” the first fiction in prose authored by a woman writer in Italian.” The novella, first published in 1794, is printed here, together with Finucci’s translation. Urania, notes Finucci, “is a psychological romance that centers on the monomaniacal love of a female character who falls into melancholia when her beloved leaves he for a more beautiful woman.” Bigolina was born into a noble Paduan family, and was married, probably aged fifteen or sixteen, to Bartolomeo Vicomercato, a lawyer, by 1534. By 1561 she was a widow, and did not remarry. Information about her is very sparse, though her writing is mentioned favourably by Pietro Aretino (in letters from 1549), and by the historian Bernardino Scardeone (1560) who, according to Finucci, “mentioned that her novellas were in the style of Boccaccio, but without any licentiousness.” Also issued in paper.

0512 BIONDO FLAVIO [Italia illustrata (1447-53). English and Latin] Biondo Flavio’s Italia illustrata: text, translation, and commentary. Volume I: Northern Italy. Catherine J. Castner. Binghamton, New York: Global Academic Publishing, Binghamton University, 2005. [8], ix-xxxvi, 1-385, [1] pp.: ill. (some col.); facsims., maps. Biondo Flavio (Biondi Biondo dei Ravaldini, 1392-1463) was a noted humanist scholar and historian of Rome who held a succession of diplomatic and curial positions, serving the popes Eugene IV and Pius II (Enea Silvio Piccolomini). He disputed with Leonardo Bruni over whether all ancient Romans spoke the same language (given variations for social class and cultural origin), or two distinct languages, one spoken by the cultured classes, the other by the mass of the people. Biondo supported the first position (in his De verbis romanae locutionis 1435), which is now generally accepted. The first printed edition of Italia illustrata was edited by Biondo’s son Gaspare (Italiae illustratae libri VIII, Rome, 1474). Castner notes: “This was one of the very earliest books printed at Rome, issuing only nine years after what is considered to be the first printed book in Italy, the works of Lactantius dated in 1465 from the monastery of Subiaco. ... The work of this translation paralleled Biondo’s

task of correlating early modern Italian settlements with ancient Roman sites. Italia illustrata contains thousands of Latin toponyms. M any are back-formations from placenames Biondo would have known only in the vernacular of his time, and a number cannot be identified with modern Italian places.” Biondo is considered to be the first scholar to attempt a work that combined every characteristic of historical topography.

0513 BIONDO FLAVIO [Italia illustrata (1447-53). English and Latin] Italy illuminated. Volume I, Books I-IV. Biondo Flavio; edited and translated by Jeffrey A. White. Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2005- (The I Tatti Renaissance library: 20) v. ([6], vii-xxvii, [2], 2-489, [11] pp.) In this second edition and translation of Biondo Flavio to be published in 2005, White writes: “Biondo’s Italy Illuminated is an essentially bookish (rather than cartographical or eyewitness) review of the fixed settlements — city-states, towns, and castles (castelli) — of the Italian peninsula in the mid-fifteenth century. Technically it falls into the contemporary genre of chorography, comprising the genealogy of the ruling houses of each settlement (or, in Biondo’s case, genealogical tidbits), their chronology, antiquities, local history, and topography. ... Throughout the Italy Illuminated Biondo registers his deep love of humanistic and pre-humanistic learning ... , his sincere, orthodox Christian piety ... , his abhorrence of civil strife ... , his dread of tyranny and anarchy both ... , his hatred of mercenaries and foreign encroachment ... , and his fascination with engineering ... . This hyper-learned chorography of Italy has another novel feature, for sometimes it is enlivened by authorial comment on contemporary developments (or by comment on certain historical matters with contemporary relevance to a humanist sensibility) that lends the work an agreeable piquancy and helps mark it, I think, as great.” Jeffrey A.

Scheepers writes: “Around the beginning of the 15 th century Bruni wrote a small work, In Praise of Florence (Laudatio Florentinae urbis) in which he makes clear how the Florentine democracy with its far-reaching mechanism of democratic control (certainly for the time) was able to withstand completely alone the M ilanese war machinery [of Giangaleazzo Visconti (1351-1402)]. He made a connection with the republican constitution of ancient Rome. Later he would also point to the political relationships in the classical Greek polis. The thoughts of Bruni were not only echoed by the new economic elite, but they appealed to a national feeling of pride in general, which was shared also by the small bourgeoisie that was still organized in the guilds. In this way new ideas were supported by a traditional Christian population.” This translation is based on Hans Baron’s Latin edition in his From Petrarch to Leonardo Bruni (1968), and includes his introduction to Florentine civil humanism.

Colonna prepared this collection of 103 sonnets as a personal gift to her close friend M ichelangelo. Brundin notes that the versions in this collection (from Codice Vaticano Latino 11539) “differ, in spelling, word order, and sometimes content, from those included in Allan Bullock’s 1982 complete edition of the sonnets.” Concerning her translations, she writes: “I have not attempted to reproduce the strict rhythmic and rhyme schemes of the original verses in translation for fear of detracting too much from their complex and often elusive meaning, so the translations are in free verse, although the fourteen-line sonnet structure has been maintained. The sonnets present a number of translation difficulties with regard to the ‘spare’ quality of the original Italian, which in many cases needs to be expanded in English in order to clarify the sense (in particular, in instances where the endings of words in Italian offer clues to interpretation that English cannot provide). This leads in places to the necessary sacrifice of conciseness in translation in pursuit of clarity.” Abigail Brundin is lecturer in the Department of Italian at the University of Cambridge and a fellow of St. Catherine’s College.

San Francisco: Chronicle Books, c2005. [5], vi-xxxi, [1], 1-207, [1] pp.: ill. In his preface to this Paradiso, Dante scholar Peter S. Hawkins (Boston University) writes, concerning Birk and Sanders’ “adaptation”: “Neither of them knows Italian; instead of a fresh translation, therefore, they have taken the work of others and made a prose paraphrase set out on the page like free verse. ... At times the text reads like a streamlined, poor man’s

version of translators John Ciardi and Robert Pinsky. Details that appear in these editions as footnotes are now brought succinctly into the poetry, no doubt to make the text less threatening and to afford the convenience of ‘one-stop’ reading. Birk and Sanders cut through many a textual thicket, sometimes by ignoring the jungle altogether, sometimes by reducing a complicated description to its plain sense. Lost is the incredible richness of a poem that repays endless rereading; gained is a clear sense of what is going on at any given moment, even in discourse as knotty as Statius on embryology in Purgatorio Canto XXVI or Beatrice on moon spots in Paradiso Canto II. In addition to simplifying the text, Birk and Sanders have also conjured a contemporary American, California-inflected youth-speak that has been variously described as ‘guy inarticulateness,’ ‘Valley girl,’ ‘laid back,’ ‘street slang,’ and ‘flat, vernacular, profane, irreverent stoner poetry.’ Italianists and keepers of the flame are sure to be outraged; on the other hand, young people (along with anyone who prefers the vernacular vulgar) will have a good time — as did a thirtysomething Italian couple I came across in a bookstore who, after being force-fed the official Dante in high school, were thrilled to discover Birk and Sanders. ‘Could it be translated into Italian?’ they asked.” Issued in paper.

[7], 8/9-278/279, [5] pp.: ill. Recto pages only numbered for recto and verso. This monograph was first published in Italian in 2004 by M ondadori Electa. “The quotations from the Divine Comedy, above the drawings and within the explanatory texts, are taken from the English translation by Dorothy Sayers, completed by Barbara Reynolds and published in three volumes by Penguin Classics.” John Flaxman (1755-1826) had a very large practice as a sculptor and a maker of monuments in the neo-Classical style. The Oxford Companion to Art states that he is one of the very few English sculptors who has had a European reputation, though this was based principally on his drawings (1970: 409). As a young man he worked for Wedgwood, and in 1787 he went to Rome, where he stayed for seven years. During this time he worked on his illustrations to the Iliad and Odyssey (1793), and to Aeschylus (1795). His illustrations to Dante were first published in 1802. These engravings, published in several editions, won him international fame. In 1810 he was appointed first Professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy. See also entry 2926 LC,UTL

[8], ix-xxxiv, [4], 1-290, [2] pp.: ill.; facsims., port. This treatise by Salvator Fabris (1544-1618) was first published in Copenhagen; an alternate title was De lo schermo, overo, Scienza d’arme. Leoni writes: “Fabris was born in or around Padua in 1544. Northern Italy, and the Po Valley in particular, was a fertile ground of ... new fencing arts.” Fabris developed connections with powerful aristocrats in northern Europe, and Leoni notes: “In 1598 Fabris was teacher at the court of Duke Johann Frederick of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp. Fabris’ service with this nobleman lasted until 1601, when he gained employment as the chief rapier instructor to King Christianus IV of Denmark and Norway himself, a politically and socially ambitious monarch who would later play an important part in the wars and politics of the new century. As a parting gift to Duke Johann Frederick, Fabris gave him a precious manuscript of his fencing system in four volumes, on parchment and illustrated with colored drawings. The manuscript ... formed the basis for his printed work of 1606.” Fabris had returned to Padua by 1608, and died there in 1618. His treatise, which Leoni terms the first modern fencing treatise, continued to be published and translated into the 18 th century. See also entry 0439. Elon,LC,OCLC

(1444), by Enea Silvio Piccolomini (later Pope Pius II); and Epirota (The Epirote, 1483), by Tommaso M ezzo. Grund writes: “All of the Latin comedies included in this volume attempted to recapture the appeal of the ancient theater by means of careful imitation. The retrieval and dissemination of ancient texts played an obvious role, but we have seen, too, that ideas about comic structure and the proper instrument for comic form were still unsettled at the beginning of the Cinquecento. The modes of literary expression in Latin humanist comedy are personal, varied, and dynamic, and offer us a meaningful vantage-point for assessing its achievements. The evolving standards of proper structure and proper Latinity, latinitas, represent not just a stylistic debate but a cultural one that mirrors the intellectual history of Quattrocento humanism and its attempts to define and recover its own idealized past.” CRRS,TRIN,UTL

Tempe, Arizona: Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies, 2005. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; v. 281) [9], x, [2], 1-356 pp.: facsim. The publisher notes: “This is the first complete edition and translation in any modern language of the Hermetic writings of Lodovico Lazzarelli, an Italian poet and mystical philosopher of the late 15th century. While recognized as a seminal figure by Italian scholars such as Kristeller and Garin, Lazzarelli’s life and work have nevertheless been neglected by historians. This book’s extensive Introduction challenges existing interpretations and presents a fresh perspective on Lazzarelli’s work and significance. It also argues that the evidence about him and his spiritual master, the prophet Giovanni ‘M ercurio’ da Correggio, forces scholars to rethink Frances Yates’ concept of Renaissance Hermeticism [as proposed in her Giordano Bruno and the Hermetic Tradition, 1964].” The related documents are a life of Ludovico Lazzarelli by his brother Filippo, an Italian sonnet and a Latin speech by Correggio, and an account of Correggio’s appearance in Lyons by Johannes Trithemius.

Bondanella writes: “The present translation is an entirely new version of M achiavelli’s masterpiece based on the Italian critical edition published in 1994 by Giorgio Inglese ... [and] can fairly claim to have been based on a more authoritative text than previously published translations. This new version of The Prince aims at accuracy but also at a more pleasing and readable English prose style than is possible if a translation respects M achiavelli’s word order too closely. I have often broken up M achiavelli’s longer, sometimes convoluted Ciceronian periods into more readable passages in English, rendered by several sentences instead of several dependent clauses. The end result, I believe, is that M achiavelli’s ideas shine through more convincingly than they did in previous translations ... . And yet M achiavelli’s peerless prose style remains as persuasive in English as it has always been in the original Italian.” This edition contains new notes, and a glossary of proper names.

0584 MALATESTA, Errico [Al caffé (1902, 1905) At the café: conversations on anarchism. By Errico Malatesta; edited with an introduction by Paul Nursey-Bray; translated by Paul Nursey-Bray with the assistance of Piero Ammirato. London: Freedom Press, 2005. [5], 6-159, [1] pp.: ill. The anarchist Errico Malatesta (1853-1932) was arrested in Ancona in 1897. After a period of house arrest he fled Italy in 1899, and left unfinished his series of dialogues, Al caffé, of which he had completed the first ten. Nursey-Bray writes: “The idea of the dialogues was suggested to him by the fact that he often frequented a café that was not usually the haunt of subversives such as himself. ... Anarchism would almost certainly have been one of the topics of conversation since the anarchists of the city constantly bombarded their fellow townspeople with a barrage of propaganda that occasioned frequent trials. The form that the dialogues were to take then was drawn from an actual venue and from M alatesta’s own experience. It resulted in a literary device excellently well suited to his particular genius, which is his ability to render complex ideas into straightforward language and to make them directly accessible. The dialogue form also allowed M alatesta to debate the ideas of his opponents, while subjecting his own anarchist views to a critical scrutiny aimed at communicating to his readers their political import and their practical applicability. Indeed, one of the strengths of the dialogues is the absence of straw men.” Issued in paper. For a note on M alatesta, see entry 6538. UKM,UTL

A translation of Berti’s 2003 edition of two manuscripts containing formulas for ceramic enamels, ceramic colours and glass, as well as recipes for the hardening and gilding of metals. These manuscripts were transcribed from source documents by Dionigi M armi between 1632 and 1636, and are currently housed in the Wellcome Library in London. Bénéteau writes: “Dionigi M armi [1610-1681], the last member of a once-proud family of ceramists, with his Secrets offers us an inside view of a society in transition from a

881 Renaissance artisan world to the scientific world view of Galileo. His contradictions are those of his age. The unifying force behind this book is the power that the rediscovery of older texts, from when ceramics was a glorious tradition in M ontelupo, held out for Dionigi, survivor of the plague and personal crisis, and the possibility of once again rising to wealth and prestige.” Concerning his translation, Bénéteau notes: “To give the color of the original, I have left in Italian in the text all words of historical interest, explaining them in a glossary at the end of the work. ... I have eliminated from this edition the paleographical and codicological notes present in Fausto Bert’s careful critical edition.

[5], vi-vii, [4], 2-230 pp., [16] pp. of plates: ill. (part col.); maps. Robin Brown, the translator, had found earlier English editions of Polo’s book ‘reverent’ and very hard going. “M arco Polo and his book have become academic icons,” he wrote, “the stuff of historical scholarship.” He continues: “Throughout my readings, however, I felt the presence of this vital, lively young chap fighting to get out from the pages of volumes that had been edited and embellished by monks, censored by the Establishment and finally worshipped by academics (there is a vast school of Polian studies). Where was the nitty gritty? Where was M arco the teenage tearaway, the lusty lad, the court jester, Kublai’s gossip merchant? It was like peering at a 700year-old picture which you knew was highly coloured but would only reveal itself after a good clean, and thankfully this proved to be the case. Once I had got rid of all the ‘by the Grace of Gods’ and ‘in the Year of our Lords’ etc. the story began to romp along.” The reader must be the judge. LC,UTL

[4], 5-123, [5] pp., [3] folded leaves of col. plates: ill. (chiefly col.); maps, facsims. 800 copies printed; issued in a case. In their introduction to the book, Silvano Gosparini and Nicola Sene write: “Artists in general are observant and curious people, and those of Atelier Aperto are particularly so; their homes are spread across Europe and reach as far as the Americas and Japan, which adds to their particularity. When working together, they often choose to follow a common theme in order to exercise and compare technical knowledge. That is how the magical book by M arco Polo the Venetian captured their attention. The group had visited the city and its landmarks of the past: the corte del M ilion, the Polo’s homes, the erratic sculptures, the cavane from where ships set sail on their voyages to the legendary yet near Orient, and then the fascinating tales. All these were sources of inexhaustible inspiration. Their recent collaboration with the passionate Amor del Libro group produced this edition, which aspires to be a sort of story by images; research into the writings of the historians and poets, through the original texts and finishing with oriental-style bookbinding, gave birth to this book which was created and constructed according to the methods of the traditional artistic workshops.” OCLC,UTL

miserable conditions, at the beginning of 1710. Ripa had some artistic training, and was soon ordered to paint for the emperor, K’ang-hsi. He lived in Beijing, painting and proselytizing until Catholic missionary activity was forced to end, in 1823. Ripa left Beijing towards the end of that year, taking with him four Chinese pupils and their master. Back in his home town of Naples, Ripa was able to found the Collegio de’ Cinesi with the intent of training young Chinese to be missionaries. It became the first school of oriental studies in Europe. The College, whose responsibilities expanded incrementally over the years to include South Asian languages and literatures, still exists in much changed form as the Department of Asiatic Studies of the University of Naples.

The publisher notes: “In Florence, in the summer of 1501, a man named Antonio Rinaldeschi was arrested and hanged after throwing horse dung at an outdoor painting of the Virgin M ary. His punishment was severe, even for the times, and the crimes with which he was formally charged, gambling, blasphemy and attempted suicide, did nor normally warrant the death penalty. [The book] unveils a series of newly discovered sources concerning this striking episode. The authors show how the political and religious context of Renaissance Florence resulted both in Rinaldeschi’s death sentence and in the creation by the followers of Savonarola [who was executed in 1498] of a new religious devotion in the heart of the city commemorating the event.” The study includes colour reproductions of the nine panels of the narrative painting The History of Antonio

Unlike the novels by Foscolo and Piovene, Dopo la laurea is little known even in Italy, and De M eis (1817-1891) is remembered as an Italian patriot rather than as a writer. Traversa notes that Dopo la laurea: “delves into philosophical and scientific trends and is grounded essentially on the alternating predominance of materialism and idealism. Restricted as it is to two protagonists, Giorgio, a young aspiring poet who cannot find in the study of medicine the answers to his existential questions and who leans toward a return to the spirituality of poetry and the faith, and Filarete, a mature scientist and thinker, the novel reflects the concerns of political and scholarly circles both in the southern and in other parts of Italy.” KSM ,LC,UTL

05120 The ugly woman: transgressive aesthetic models in Italian poetry from the Middle Ages to the Baroque. Patrizia Bettella. Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2005. (Toronto Italian studies) [5], vi-viii, [3], 4-259, [5] pp. Bettella writes: “This work focuses on poetic texts that express male views of women. When the texts are anonymous the authorial voice is assumed to be masculine: it is the male subject, in his hegemonic literary-cultural authority, that represents these female transgressive types. The representations of physically unattractive women in the poems examined are unfailingly negative, particularly in the comic-realistic poetry of the medieval tradition; this study sheds significant light on the misogynistic stance that subtends Italian comic-realistic poetry, an issue that has so far been largely ignored or overlooked. This book takes a first step in bridging the gap in the study of antifeminist bias in Italian comic poetry.” Bettella’s study incorporates dozens of incidental translations. The poets range from Cavalcanti and his fellows in the late 13th and early 14th centuries to Berni, Doni, and Aretino in the 16 th century. KSM ,LC,UTL

Rocco Sinisgalli, Facoltà di Architettura ‘Valle Giulia’, Università di Roma ‘La Sapienza’; Faculty of Architecture ‘Valle Giulia’, University of Rome ‘La Sapienza’. Roma: Edizioni Kappa, 2006. (Collana di studi sul Rinascimento; Studies in Renaissance art and culture; 7) [8], 9-702, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims., ports. Sinisgalli’s new multilingual edition and study of De pictura is based on the Latin editio princeps (Basel, 1540), as the version which best conveys the author’s thought, one which Alberti himself had “carefully refined with meaningful touches, the way a painter would do,” as Carlo Pedretti points out in his foreword. Pedretti goes on to state that: “Alberti’s treatise is an admirable synthesis of the visions and aspirations of a few Tuscan artists of the early Renaissance, a precious booklet deceivingly archaic, classical in its rigor but pragmatic as a medieval handbook, and so only apparently of easy fruition. And this because those who were to read it soon after it was written in 1435 knew well that the practice of painting required not only natural disposition and manual dexterity as acquired by exercise, but also and above all the continuous and methodical acquisition of a non-superficial knowledge of everything that in nature is the object of a close scrutiny of the many effects in the physical world, and also of the complexities and subtleties of the mental processes that manifest themselves through the definition of characters and the expression of emotions. In brief, all that which endows the painter with creative powers, ensuring to his profession the place among the liberal arts that it deserves.” Alberti is recognized as an influence on Leonardo, who was a twenty-year-old apprentice under Verrocchio at the time of Alberti’s death in 1472. Pedretti, who published a critical edition of Leonardo’s Libro di pittura in 1995, writes: “for many years I have been trying to engage myself in carrying on a systematic and all-encompassing program of research ... an ambitious project aiming at recognizing Alberti’s De pictura not so much as a source for Leonardo but as his interlocutor.” The text is presented in four columns: Tuscan dialect, Latin, and modern Italian and English (in versions by Sinisgalli). Sinisgalli is a historian of perspective seen as an art, science and a technique. Among his more than twenty books are A History of the Perspective Scene from the Renaissance to the Baroque (Florence, 2000), and A Voyage into Baroque Spectacle (Rome, 2001). Issued in paper.

M arino and Toro write: “From mid-August to midSeptember 1790, Count Paolo Andreani of M ilan undertook an overland journey through New York State and eastern Iroquoia. Andreani [1763-1823] kept a journal of his observations of the human and physical landscape, as well as the daily details of his progress up the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. He likely intended to publish it in some form, for afterwards he produced a partially edited, annotated, and illustrated version, copied out carefully in his own best hand.” Through various mishaps and difficulties, Andreani’s original notes and illustrations seem not to have survived, but his fair copy survived in the possession of his descendants, and the translation is based on this manuscript copy. The translation is chiefly the work of M arino, with recommendations on contemporary vocabulary by Tiro. Some of Andreani’s American letters have also been translated, and M arino and Tiro note: “This volume ends with Andreani’s departure for Canada in 1791. We are presently collecting the fragments of his extant writings from the remainder of his travels, which took him as far as present-day M innesota, for future publication.” LC,UTL

Enrico Celani rearranged the poems and changed the original punctuation, and continues: “By separating the originally intertwined exchange-poems, Enrico Celani distances Tullia d’Aragona from her network of fame. As Ann Rosalind Jones points out, this creates a melancholy portrait of a solitary poet rather than conjuring a vision of an admired member of a literary coterie.” In her Dialogue on the Infinity of Love, Tullia d’Aragona wrote: “Just think what would have happened if M adonna Laura had gotten around to writing as much about Petrarch as he did about her: you’d have seen things turn out quite differently then.” Concerning her translation, Pallitto writes: “Because she attached such importance to her work, I wanted Tullia d’Aragona’s distinct voice to come through in translation. Easier said than done: the alliteration and rhythm of the Italian does not always reemerge in the English, and other details are invariably lost. In the paired poems, for example, each response-poem uses the same rhymes as the originating sonnet, though I have not duplicated this feature in the English translation. I have, however, used slanted rhyme to suggest the music of the original (as sonnets are, after all, ‘little songs’).” See also entry 9717, with a note.

The harsh doctrines of Roman Catholicism inspired him to exquisite conceits involving randy monks and nuns who aren’t content to be brides of Christ. M ost pornography, past and present, is dismally one-dimensional, concentrating as it does on the business at hand, so to speak. Keen though he is to keep the coupling going, Aretino offers something else that the average pornographer seldom or never provides — believable, rounded characters of both sexes.” See also entry 7105, with a note.

(The other voice in early modern Europe) [8], ix-xxxii, 1-493, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. Laura Battiferra (1523-1589) was the younger of two illegitimate children fathered by Giovan’Antonio Battiferri, a churchman from Urbino who was appointed a secretary at the Vatican court. From the beginning, Laura was taught by her humanist father, and Kirkham writes: “Her beautiful Italian chancery script reflects his influence, and he probably set her to learning such classics as Virgil and Ovid, who left visible traces on her vernacular poetry. Whatever the precise outlines of Laura’s lessons from her father, he must have passed on to her more generally a Battiferri tradition of learning in the liberal arts, philosophy, and science.” She became the most celebrated woman Petrarchist poet of her time, and Kirkham notes that she: “intended her Rime for publication as a compendium of her

Bibliography 2006 life’s work.” Her writings survive in three collections of verse (Il primo libro dell’opere toscane (1560), I sette salmi penitentiali (1564), and the Rime, preserved in manuscript in the Biblioteca Casanatense, Rome). The manuscript provides the basis for the larger part of Kirkham’s edition. She writes: “The selections in this anthology have been chosen to portray Laura Battiferra’s unique identity and art as a writer, to represent the full chronological arc of her career, to illustrate her celebrity, to establish her historical context, to profile her literary genealogy, to publish insofar as realistically feasible material that has never before seen the light of print, and to include samples from all known sixteenth-century sources in which her work appeared.” A portrait of Battiferra by Bronzino, painted about 1561, showing her in profile, holding and displaying a book open to two sonnets by Petrarch, is held in the Palazzo Vecchio, Florence.

Notre Dame, Indiana: University of Notre Dame Press, c2006.

The Holy Office requested from him a judgment of the orthodoxy of Galileo’s Dialogue. Blackwell writes that “at the time, Inchofer’s judgment was the most detailed and harshest argument against Galileo’s book.” His Tractatus was published at Rome in 1633. Blackwell translates the title as: A Summary treatise Concerning the Motion or Rest of the Earth and the Sun, in which it is briefly shown what is, and what is not, to be held as certain according to the teachings of the Sacred Scriptures and the Holy Fathers.

Selected and introduced by Jos Blom and Frans Blom; general editors Betty S. Travitsky and Anne Lake Prescott. Aldershot, Hampshire; Burlington, VT: Ashgate, c2006. (The early modern Englishwoman: a facsimile library of essential works. Series I: Printed writings, 1500-1640; part 4, volume 2) [4], v-xxii, [18], 1-66, [28], 1-161, [9] pp.: port. In their introduction, Jos and Frans Blom write that the Breve compendio: “is variously attributed to the Italian Jesuit Achille Gagliardi (1537-1607), sometimes spelled ‘Galliardi’, and to the saintly M ilanese Lady, Isabella Berinzaga (c.15511624), sometimes spelled ‘Bellinzaga’. ... In 1584, when she sought spiritual guidance from the Jesuits of San Fedele [M ilan], Gagliardi became her spiritual director. Theirs proved to be a fruitful cooperation, although not an unproblematical one. Gagliardi saw in Berinzaga an ideal means to test his ideas about spirituality. The result was Breve Compendio, probably completed in 1588.” Internal evidence suggests that Galliardi was the editor rather than the author of the work. The Bloms note: “the pillars upon which the Breve Compendio rests are a sense of one’s own utter worthlessness and of God’s supreme greatness. The person aspiring to perfection is led through a

series of elaborately defined stages ... to a state of complete indifference in regard not only to such worldly affairs as status or health but also to such spiritual matters as divine consolation and even reward in Heaven.” The Breve compendio circulated in manuscript, and was translated and published in a number of French editions, beginning at the end of the 1590s. It was then translated into English by M ary Percy, an English Benedictine nun at Brussels, and first published as An Abridgement of Christian Perfection in 1612. The edition reproduced in facsimile here was published by the English College Press at St. Omer in 1625. LC,UTL

0615 BOCCHI, Francesco [Le bellezze della città di Fiorenza (1591)] The beauties of the city of Florence: a guidebook of 1591. Francesco Bocchi; introduced, translated and

annotated by Thomas Frangenberg & Robert Williams. London; Turnhout: Harvey Miller Publishers, c2006. [8], 3-282 pp., [12] pp. of plates: ill. (some col.); maps, plans. Francesco Bocchi was born in Florence in 1548 and died there in 1616. Frangenberg and Williams write: “His interest in a literary career developed early on, but he seems never to have met with the kind of success he desired. For a period of ten years, from 1572 to 1582, he lived in Rome, perhaps serving as a secretary or agent to Cardinal Ferdinando de’ M edici: it was the kind of work which Renaissance writers commonly took to support themselves, but he complained in letters to his friends at home that he was left with little time or inclination for writing. When he returned to Florence he made his living primarily as a tutor to aristocratic boys; he also produced formal speeches, essays on philosophical and historical topics, and other works, many of them on commission..” Bocchi began to write on art early in his career, but wrote his guidebook to Florence when he was in middle age. The editors note: “Not surprisingly, given Bocchi’s background, the Beauties is framed by the rhetorical purpose of praising Florence: all the individual ‘beauties’ which he discusses are to be understood as so many signs or demonstrations of the city’s ‘virtue’ (‘virtù’), its power, but also its worth or integrity in a spiritual or moral sense. ... Bocchi’s book was not illustrated; there can be little doubt that he expected most of his readers to peruse it during visits to the city, or to study it in preparation for a visit. ... Part of the function of Bocchi’s descriptions was to obviate the need for illustrations.” The editors comment: “The text presented here ... is one of the most remarkable of Renaissance writings on art and thus an especially valuable document of the culture within which and for which Renaissance art was made. It is not exactly the first guidebook, nor is it entirely an art guidebook in the modern sense of the word, but it marks an important step in the history of guidebook literature, perhaps the definitive step in the formation of the modern genre.” KVU,LC,UTL

business, drawn not only from the rather scarce Commedia dell’Arte accounts and illustrations, but also from traditions of pantomime, circus, music hall and early film, I realised that this part of the book was not merely an appendix to the plays, but a record of comic business that might be of value to directors, actors and performers, not necessarily involved with Commedia.” Three-fifths of the book is devoted to Lazzi.

London [etc.]: Penguin Books, 2006. (Penguin classics) [8], ix-cix, [8], 4-449, [13] pp.: ill.; map, plan. Kirkpatrick notes: “The text reproduced in the present volume ... is that established by Giorgio Petrocchi in La commedia secondo l’antica vulgata (M ilan, 1966-7). Petrocchi’s text is based on some thirty of the earliest Florentine manuscripts. Debate continues over the detail of some of Petrocchi’s readings. However, it is a testimony to the clarity of Dante’s thought and style that his copyists seem only rarely to have lapsed in concentration. In very few cases do variant readings lead to significantly different interpretations. This is the more remarkable in that punctuation was negligible in early copies. Dante’s use of rhyme and caesurae fulfils most of the functions that are now ascribed to punctuation. The scholarly reader, therefore, of both Petrocchi’s text and the present translation may reasonably complain at the very high level of editorial punctuation that these both display. Their justification lies in an attempt to articulate and clarify the subtlety, nuance and polyphonic variety of the author’s original voice.” Kirkpatrick’s is a blank verse translation with parallel Italian text, commentaries, and notes. He had published a brief introduction to the Commedia with Cambridge University Press in 1987. His translation of the Commedia (2006-7) apparently replaces the translation by Dorothy Sayers and Barbara Reynold first published by Penguin in 1949-1955, and reprinted frequently.

[6], vii-xiii, [7], 3-246, [8] pp.: diagrams. Sean O’Brien (b. 1952) is a poet, playwright, essayist, and teacher. He acknowledges that the Inferno is the most frequently translated poem in the Western tradition, and writes: “Anyone undertaking another translation will have to ask why he or she is bothering. What can be added to so many distinguished versions of the poem? The honest answer is likely to include an admission of uncertainty over this central question. Poems are not written in the service of theoretical justifications; nor, it seems, are translations. The Inferno is a poem of compelling interest and inexhaustible depth, against which all the poetry that succeeds it asks to be measured. Dante’s poem is above all a demonstration of the power of poetry, the ‘direct shock of poetic intensity’ to which Eliot referred in his famous essay of 1929. The Inferno’s theology is outmoded, its basic beliefs foreign or unthinkable to many of its readers, its morality unyieldingly harsh, its literary context unfamiliar, its political concerns in some ways remote from our own and, like many other aspects of the poem, inaccessible in their detail without a substantial scholarly apparatus. And yet The Inferno exerts an unbreakable grip on the imagination. For many, its study has been a life’s work.

Kitromilides writes: “Giorgio Denores [1619-1638] was a scion of a prominent Cypriot family, which had been forced to flee the island and take the road of exile after the Ottoman conquest. He followed his family tradition of devotion to learning and close ties with the papal court. In his efforts to reconcile the diplomatic antagonisms of European powers over the possession of Cyprus with papal interests, Giorgio Denores questions the legitimacy of various claims and argues that the only legitimate possessor would have been the “Greek Empire of Constantinople”, to whom the island belonged before the Latin conquest.” This edition is based on a manuscript in the Biblioteca Palatina, Parma.

Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2006. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxx, 1-493, [5] pp. Finucci writes: “Floridoro is a chivalric romance made up of thirteen cantos of various lengths for a total of 1,050 rhymed octaves. We do not know when Fonte began to write it, but she had a swift poetic vein, according to her uncle: ‘She wrote poetry so quickly that it seemed almost incredible.’ The book is dedicated to Francesco de’ Medici, who had just married (1579) the Venetian Bianca Capello, ‘honor of her sex and of her time,’ as Fonte states in the text. The timing of the publication, when many writers in Venice were celebrating Capello’s fortune, may explain why Floridoro was sent to the press incomplete. ... Fonte gives the contemporary union of Florence and Venice through the marriage of a M edici and a Capello a mythic source by developing two story lines. They are dealt with contemporaneously as much as possible within the text: one line, agnatic, follows the knight Floridoro, while the other, cognatic, concentrates on a female knight of equal strength and valor, Risamante. From the stock of Floridoro, who in due time will marry the Greek princess Celsidea, will come the founders of the city of Venice, while the descendants of Risamante’s daughter, Salarisa, will become the Medici.” The full English translation is accompanied by a part of the original Italian romance in ottava rima.

Segre writes: “Garden notebooks are unique sources, working tools devised to make a record of the planting of expensive gardens. The present document is one of seven of a similar kind, registering the planting of Italian flower gardens, that have become available for research. There is no doubt that these were part of a recording tradition that emerged in the sixteenth century, became established during the seventeenth, and survived until at least the second half of the eighteenth century. Initially garden notebooks were used to list the plant collections displayed in Italian physics gardens attached to schools of medicine, those in Padua, Pisa, Florence, Bologna, and M essina being the most renowned. From the middle to the end of the sixteenth century, with the growing interest in ornamental horticulture, these notebooks ceased to be confined to scholarly institutions and became widely used as records of the planting schemes in ornamental gardens. ... The fundamental function of the garden notebook was to help the gardener to remember the plants and their position in the garden. ... The use of both covers of the notebook, the presence of stains, mathematical notations, and sketches, indicates that this was essentially a working register compiled by a craftsman, rather than a display book.” Issued in a slip case.

Lombroso’s] theory of the ‘born’ criminal dominated European and American thinking about the causes of criminal behavior during the late nineteenth century and the early twentieth. ... In Criminal Man Lombroso used modern Darwinian evolutionary theories to ‘prove’ the inferiority of criminals to ‘honest’ people, of women to men, and of blacks to whites, thereby reinforcing the prevailing politics of sexual and racial hierarchy. He was particularly interested in the physical attributes of criminals — the size of their skulls, the shape of their noses — but he also studied the criminals’ various forms of selfexpression, such as letters, graffiti, drawings, and tattoos.” Also issue in paper.

architectural projects of his day within historical, literary, and spiritual contexts, articulates their relevance for his contemporaries as cultural paradigms of the Early Italian Renaissance. M anetii, wealthy, learned, devout, and politically active, was perhaps the most admired lay thinker of his generation, a leader within the new intellectual currents of his native Florence and prominent in Rome at the court of Pope Nicholas V ([1397-1455, reigned] 1447-1455). M anetti’s detailed accounts both of the consecration of Florence Cathedral in 1436 ... and of the ambitious building projects planned by Nicholas for a revival of papal splendor in Rome ... are among the most elaborate architectural ekphrases of the fifteenth century. In these, he surpasses his better known rival, Leon Battista Alberti.” Christine Smith is Robert C. And M arion K.

Roche writes: “Little is known of Anna Hume except as the translator of the first three of Petrarch’s Trionfi (1644) and also as the daughter of David Hume of Godscroft (b. 1573). ... The Trionfi tell of Love’s triumph over the poet, a triumph then superseded by the triumph of chastity (in that Laura did not yield to Petrarch’s love), which is then superseded by the triumph of death over Laura. At this point in the sequence Anna Hume ends her translation, although her ‘Advertisement to the Reader’ that concludes the volume promises to continue with the remaining three poems [the triumphs of Fate, of Time, and of Eternity].” The original title page reads: The Triumphs of Love, Chastitie, Death.

Izbicki, Gerald Christianson, and Philip Krey. Washington, D.C.: The Catholic University of America Press, c2006. [8], ix-xv, [3], 3-435, [5] pp. In his foreword, John M onfasani writes: “The letters translated in this book are ... invaluable documents for understanding contemporary men, events, and institutions. Very early on, as the humble Aeneas Sylvius Piccolomini, Pius already found himself a participant in some of the most important developments of his time. But the letters are also remarkably revealing in how they allow us to follow the evolution of Pius from an ambitious young littérateur given to amorous affairs to the pope who would give his last dying breath attempting to rally Latin Christendom to the cause of recovering Constantinople and stemming the advance of the Ottoman Turks. No life can really be measured until it is over; but a little more than a year before he died, Pius himself wrote a fitting epitaph to his personal voyage: ‘Reject Aeneas; accept Pius.’ So the translators were right to make the letter in which this exhortation appears the last in the collection and to choose it as their title.” Pius himself wrote: “If you should find anything against [church] teaching either in our dialogues, in our letters — many of which were given out by us — or in others of our pamphlets (we wrote many while still young), spew it out and despise it. Follow what we now say. Believe the old man more than the youth; count not the private man of more value that the pontiff. Reject Aeneas; accept Pius! The human name our parents gave at birth; the Christian one we took in the apostolate.” The letters were written between 1432 and 1453, and the two papal documents in 1459 and 1463.

The editors write: “His Two Books of Hendecasyllables, given the subtitle Baiae by their first editor Pietro Summonte, experiment brilliantly with the metrical form associated principally with the ancient Latin poet Catullus. The poems are the elegant offspring of Pontano’s leisure, written to celebrate love, good wine, friendship, nature, and all the pleasures of life to be found at the seaside resort of Baiae on the Bay of Naples.” CRRS,LC,UTL

0674 SARROCCHI, Margherita [La Scanderbeide (1606, 1623)] Scanderbeide: the heroic deeds of George Scanderbeg, King of Epirus. Margherita Sarrocchi; edited and translated by Rinaldina Russell. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2006. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxviii, 1-462, [6] pp. Russell considers the Scanderbeide to be the first historical epic written by a woman. She writes: “When it first appeared, Sarrocchi’s poem attracted a great deal of attention, but after a few decades its intrinsic and circumstantial merits were forgotten, and the name of its author has ever since been relegated to a few negligible footnotes in literary histories. Starting from the inception of Italian national history, furthermore, the Italian seventeenth century has been viewed by literati and historians alike as a period of literary and political decadence. Dismissed as a product of that century, and written by a woman to boot, the Scanderbeide was left to lie buried among the myriad imitations of Tasso’s masterpiece [Jerusalem Delivered], seemingly doomed to be forever ignored.” M argherita Sarrocchi (ca. 1560-1617) was born in Naples. After the early death of her father she received first-class instruction in the liberal arts and sciences in the monastery of

For a time she was a friend of Giambattista M arino, but they fell out when Sarrocchi criticized M arino’s work, and he later ridiculed her work in his Adone. Sarrocchi, by then a widow, died in Rome, and was buried at the church of Santa M aria della M inerva. She had continued to work on the Scanderbeide after the publication of the first fourteen cantos in 1606, and the complete work in twenty-three cantos was published in 1623, and reissued in 1626, and in 1723.

Savonarola was appointed a teacher in the Observant monastery of San M arco in Florence in 1482, He left the city in 1484. Brown writes: “By the time he returned to the monastery of San M arco in 1490 ... he had developed his apocalyptic voice ... . On his return to Florence, he became not only a powerful and terrifying preacher but also, from 1494 to 1498, the most influential figure in Florentine politics, as well as an outspoken critic of the papacy: a combination of roles that led to his being put to death at the stake in June 1498, anathematized and condemned by the Church and the Florentine state alike.” KSM ,LC,OCLC

It represents an early branch of the French prose Tristano, now lost. The editor notes: “The translation offers new evidence for the development of the Tristan story in Europe, particularly in the changes it rings on the themes of love, chivalry, honor, betrayal, and adultery. In theme and narrative style the Riccardiano reflects a new audience and a new social context, that of an urban Tuscan middle class, and an important stage in the emergence of Italian prose narrative.” See also entry 0255, for another Tristan romance KSM ,LC,UTL

Bibliography 2006 Ontario: Legas, c2006. (Pueti d’Arba Sicula series; vol. 7) [6], 7-123, [3] pp.: port. Antonio Veneziano (1543-1593) is one of the greatest of Sicilian poets. Around 1575 he was captured by Barbary pirates and held for ransom, and it is reported that he shared a cell with Cervantes, who valued Veneziano’s poetry highly. Cipolla notes: “M y interest in Antonio Veneziano was sparked by the poet’s attitudes toward his Sicilian language and his insistence on using that language in his work. He claimed that he could have written in other languages but if he did so he would have behaved like a parrot that does not have a language of its own and imitates the language it hears. Thus Veneziano seemed to me a staunch defender of the native idiom against the spreading influence of Tuscan in Sicily. He represents a point in history when in fact the predominance of Tuscan as the literary language of Italy was becoming an accepted fact. ... Thus his use of Sicilian was in itself an act of rebellion against the ever widening sphere of use of Tuscan, a way of swimming upstream against the strong current of Tuscan idiom, at the same time as it was an affirmation of the validity of Sicilian as a tool of poetic expression. In doing this, of course, he was linking his work to the great Sicilian School of poetry which flourished under the Emperor Frederick II, when Sicilian was the dominant language of poetry for a hundred years. As Dante said, Sicilians were the first and everything written before his time was Sicilian.” Issued in paper. LC,OCLC,UTL

Arslan and Romani include bio-bibliographies of the authors. The editors write: “The stories included in this anthology ... offer a gallery of figures constructed on a typology of female behaviour. They all revolve around the life of a female character whose fate is always measured against a sometimes tacit, and yet omnipresent, ideal of domestic femininity. ... These authors tell stories wherein women can observe the world and learn about life; and the escapist nature of this fiction, far from indicating frivolous entertainment, assumes the significance of a symbolic escape from the dullness of domestic confinement into the liberating world of knowledge. That these stories were supposed not only to entertain but also, and especially, to educate the readers is made explicit by the authors themselves.” Serao is also included in Healey, 1998.

0701 ALBERTI, Leon Battista [Descriptio urbis Romae (after 1443). English and Latin] Leon Battista Alberti’s Delineation of the city of Rome (Descriptio vrbis Romæ). Edited by Mario Carpo & Francesco Furlan; critical edition by JeanYves Boriaud & Francesco Furlan; English translation by Peter Hicks. Tempe, Arizona: ACMRS (Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies), 2007. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; v. 335) [7], viii, [5], 4-123, [3] pp.: ill. (some col.); diagrams, facsims, maps, port. The editors note: “Around 1450 [Alberti] published his findings in a small book ... which describes a simple technical device, a drawing instrument composed of two graduated parts: a circle, which Alberti calls horizon, and its revolving spoke (called, appropriately, radius), that each reader of his book is expected to use to draw his or her own personal copy of Alberti’s original map of Rome. ... As will be shown, Alberti’s apparently untimely experimentation with digital technologies should be seen in the light of Alberti’s critical approach to the production and transmission of hand-made drawings — a crucial node of his work as a theoretician as well as a practitioner in several visual arts. In turn, this issue pertains to a larger and more general field of enquiry: the history of the use of variable media for the transmission of reliable visual information before the rise of printed images.” Writing about this brief text in the Sixteenth Century Journal, Spring 2001, Christiane L. Joost-Gaugier noted: “Alberti was greatly stimulated by his second trip to Rome in 1443. It is then that he began a serious study of the ruins of ancient buildings in the city. His most important archaeological study from this time is the Descriptio urbis Romae, a work which laid out a method for the construction of survey maps of cities, a procedure unknown prior to this time. Ironically, this seminal work on cartography is but a few pages long. ... [It] is known through six manuscripts, all of which are corrupt either in their text or their tables, and none of which is believed to be an autograph.” Of these, one is held by the Newberry Library, and another by the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana.

This catalogue was published to accompany the exhibition held at the Wallace Collection, London, Jan. 25-April 15, 2007. Francesco Xanto Avelli (1500?-1545) is best known for his painted maiolica works, many of which were signed, dated, and marked as a product of Urbino. Il Ritratto, a sequence of 44 sonnets by Avelli in praise of Francesco M aria della Rovere, Duke of Urbino (1490-1538), is included as an appendix, together with two sonnets (x and xxxiii) by Petrarch; the translations and annotations are by Hendel. Xanto’s sonnets are preserved in a single manuscript copy in the Vatican Library which was formerly in the possession of the Dukes of Urbino. Hendel notes that the scribe’s hand can be dated to the first half of the sixteenth century. Concerning the translation, Hendel writes: “The aim has been to provide a translation which is as close as possible to the original text. Thus the translation had been as literal as possible. This has resulted in the English text sounding awkward in places, but the non-Italian reader can be assured that the original text also reads far from well. Resisting the temptation to ‘improve’ on the original, the translation attempts to recreate in English the same impression as the original text makes on an Italian reader.” ERI,OCLC,UTL

Canepa writes: “The lack of an up-to-date translation of The Tale of Tales is not only a serious impediment to further textual analysis on the part of scholars who lack familiarity with Neapolitan or Italian, but also deprives the more general public of tale enthusiasts — not to mention fabulists and storytellers — of a text of infinite resources and riches. ... For my translation I have used as primary text the 1634-36 editio princeps [Lo cunto de li cunti, overo, Lo trattenemiento de ‘peccerille] that belongs to the Biblioteca Nazionale Braidense of M ilan. The process of translation was painstaking due to the many degrees of

difficulty of the text, but especially to the fact that the original is written in a seventeenth-century dialect often creatively manipulated by the author himself. ... I have opted for a productively foreignizing translation, in which I attempt to preserve the distinctive tone, as well as the idiosyncrasies, of Basile’s literary language, a language that is ‘strange’ even in Italy, where all Italians except erudite Neapolitans read him in translation.” The standard Italian translation is that of Benedetto Croce (1925), himself a Neapolitan, which was used by Norman Penzer for his English version (1932). Croce effectively bowdlerized Basile, so that in Penzer’s English a fart (Basile, ‘pideto’) becomes a sneeze, and a magical goose, instead of shitting golden ducats (Basile, ‘cacata’), ‘makes’ them. Canepa’s translation holds closer to Basile’s original Neapolitan text. Nevertheless, Christine Goldberg, for the Journal of Folklore Research finds Penzer’s translation more literal, and easier to understand than Canepa’s in some passages, and notes: “For the purpose of comparative folklore scholarship, which analyzes events and generally does not concern itself with style, fine points of translation are less significant than the quality of annotation. Penzer’s comparative notes to The Pentamerone are a uniquely valuable source of information because the editor drew on his earlier work on Somadeva’s The Ocean of Story, an eleventh-century collection of tales from India. ... Canepa’s edition ... seems to be aimed at general readers.” Issued in paper. LC,OCLC,UTL

[9], 2-176, [8] pp., [4] pp. of plates: ill.; ports. Stocks himself uses the sonnet form in his own poetry, and is therefore well qualified to translate the sonneteer Belli. This selection also includes as an appendix twelve translations into Scots by Robert Garioch (see also 1966, 1973, 1977, 1983). Concerning Garioch’s translations, Stocks notes that: “[He] had three great advantages over the translators in English. The first is that he was a first-rate sonneteer before he came to Belli, and so did not need to give up the sonnet’s integral metre and rhyme in the quest for a natural diction; the second is one of literary

temperament, in that his overriding literary concern is with ordinary people, the ‘wee man’; and the third is the Scots language itself.” Ian Thomson reviewed this collection for the Times Literary Supplement of January 30, 2009, and commented: “As a collection of vignettes from the Roman underworld, Belli’s sonnets foreshadowed the naturalist experiments of Zola and Joyce a century later. The voice of ordinary Romans had been transcribed ‘to the point of ventriloquism’, said Primo Levi, and M ike Stocks is to be congratulated on his handling of a verse which does not lend itself at all easily to translation.” In a letter to the TLS which appeared in the issue of February 20, 2009, the Scottish poet and translator Robin Fulton, editor of Garioch’s Complete Poetical Works (1983, revised as Collected Poems, 2004) commented: “To my knowledge, the ingenuity and vigour of [Garioch’s] versions have not been matched by any other translators. One pity is that he shied away from tackling what he called ‘the obscene sonnets’.” Also issued in paper. OCLC,UTL

Berkeley; Los Angeles; London: University of California Press, c2007. [10], ix-xii, [2], 1-451, [3] pp.: ill.; facsims., maps. Ambrosio Bembo (1652-1705) belonged to a distinguished Venetian family. He had read Pietro Della Valle’s Viaggi, published between 1650 and 1658, and as a young man decided to broaden his own knowledge of the world through travel. He set out to follow Della Valle’s route in August, 1671, and returned home in April, 1675. Welch notes that: “Not too long after his return, Bembo used notes, drawings, and memory to compose an account of his travels, but it was never published, despite the fact that it is illustrated with fifty-two line drawings by G. J. Grélot, a French artist and Bembo’s travelling companion on his return voyage from Iran to Venice in 1674.” The manuscript was acquired by the James Ford Bell Library at the University of M innesota in 1964, and came to the attention of the editor and the translator in 1973-4. Welch writes: “Bembo did not claim to be a scholar or describe himself as a seasoned traveler with a wealth of experience and information. ... His book is as valuable as a view of the network of Christian mission houses in the Near East and India as it is of the countries themselves, but most of all it is an appealing selfportrait of a bright, decent, remarkably tolerant, and thoroughly likable traveler who was a good observer and a lively writer.” Also issued in paper.

BEMBO, Pietro [Historiae Venetae libri XII (1551). English and Latin] History of Venice. Volume 1: Books I-IV [Volume 2: Books V-VIII; Volume 3: Books IX-XII].

The publisher notes that Bembo: “was named official historian of Venice in 1529 and began to compose in Latin his continuation of the city’s history in twelve books, covering the years from 1487 to 1513. Although the work chronicles internal politics and events, much of it is devoted to the external affairs of Venice, principally conflicts with other European states (France, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, M ilan, and the papacy) and with the Turks in the East.” This edition is complete in three volumes. The editor notes: “The manuscript of the Latin version has remained lost, but Bembo’s original of the Italian version was finally published at Venice in 1790. ... The text presented in this volume is not a critical edition, but a working edition to serve as a basis for the translation. It is based upon the edition of Venice, 1551, incorporating the Errata (which stop in Book IX), with additional minor corrections from the edition of Venice, 1729.” CRRS,LC,UTL

0710 BONARELLI, Guidubaldo, conte de’ [Filli di Sciro (1607). English and Italian] Phyllis of Scyros. By Guidubaldo Bonarelli; edited and translated by Nicolas J. Perella. New York: Italica Press, 2007. (Italica Press dual-language poetry series) [6], vii-xxviii, [1], 2-203, [1] pp.: front. Bonarelli (1563-1608) was born in Pesaro, and pursued studies in Philosophy and theology at Ferrara, and at the Sorbonne. He chose to follow a career as a courtier and diplomat, rather than become a priest as his father had intended. He was in the service of Cardinal Federigo Borromeo at M ilan, and then at Ferrara with the Estense. In 1600, the disclosure of

his secret marriage caused the rupture of his relationship with his patrons, in particular, Duke Cesare of M odena. At about this time he devoted himself to his writing. The pastoral tragicomedy Filli di Sciro was first performed in the new ducal theatre at Ferrara in 1605 under the management of the Accademia degli Intrepidi, of which Bonarelli was a member. The first edition was published with the Intrepidi two years later, and went through thirty editions in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Filli di Sciro was also translated and published in French, and English (Filli di Sciro, or Phillis of Scyros, an Excellent Pastorall, London, 1655). The editors of the current translation note: “Phyllis is a masterpiece of wordplay, wit, wonderfully flowing verses, gentle musicality, parody and irony. It was also groundbreaking for its moral and psychological portrayal of a character seized by a furious double passion — one of them [unknown to her] incestuous. Bonarelli was forced to defend his work, and in his Discorsi [in difesa del doppio amore della sua Celia, read before the Intrepidi in 1606, but only published posthumously in 1612] he boldly claimed for poetry the right to treat life, love, death, furor and ardor in their full complexity rather than as perfect ideals.” Concerning his translation, Perella writes: “Bonarelli’s pastoral drama is in verse, almost exclusively in unrhymed hendecasyllables and septenaries.

Saint Bonaventure, NY: Franciscan Institute Publications, The Franciscan Institute, Saint Bonaventure University, 2007. (Works of St. Bonaventure; v. 11; Bonaventure texts in translation series) [7], 2-1110, [4] pp. Professor M arianne M eye Thompson of Fuller Theological Seminary writes: “To read Bonaventure’s discussion of John is to learn from an exegete who pays close attention to the text, while simultaneously being exposed to the rich theological and interpretative tradition, especially of Augustine and Chrysostom, Bonaventure himself inherited. Bonaventure’s interpretations are often surprisingly contemporary, theologically attuned, pastorally sensitive and textually oriented.” Karris is a member of the research faculty at the Franciscan Institute.

Ellis Jr. Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2007. (The Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian library) [9], x-xiv, [1], 2-384, [2] pp. Ellis has cut forty per cent of Borghini’s text He writes: “I think this allows the reader to concentrate on what is most important in the treatise: Borghini’s description of CounterReformation ideas about the content of religious paintings; his description of the mid-sixteenth-century reaction against the style of the Maniera; and, at the end of his treatise, the information he provides that updates the second edition of Vasari’s Le Vite de’ piu eccellenti Pittori, Scultori e Architettori, published fourteen years before. This condensed translation of Il Riposo emphasizes the dramatic dialogue that Borghini’s contemporaries enjoyed in his plays and that has made Il Riposo a model for students of Tuscan and modern Italian. This abridgement also emphasizes Borghini’s description of an idyllic Tuscan countryside and manner of living. The manner of living has changed but the villa of Il Riposo ... remains largely as it was.” The translation is based on the 1967 annotated facsimile of the 1584 M arescotti first edition, edited by M ario Rosci.

(The I Tatti Renaissance library; 26) [5], vi-xxxix, [2], 2-295, [1] pp. The controversies begin with the exchange between Angelo Poliziano and Paolo Cortesi (1465-1510) in the mid-1480s, and continue with the exchanges between Gianfrancesco Pico della M irandola and Pietro Bembo in 1513-1513, Giambattista Giraldi Cinzio, Celio Calcagnini (1479-1541), and Lelio Gregorio Giraldi (1479-1552) in 1532-1537, and the treatises published by Antonio Possevino (1533 or 4-1611) in 1593 and 1603. DellaNeva writes: “To subsequent players in the debates, Cortesi seemed to be the prototypical staunch Ciceronian who advocated the use of a single model of stylistic excellence for the modern Latinist attempting to achieve a correct classical style. His adversary, Poliziano, on the other hand, became the hero of the Eclectics, who found stylistic excellence in a variety of models and ridiculed the foolish self-imposed limitations of the Ciceronians. The battle of the Ciceronians and the Eclectics was to be replayed again and again throughout the Renaissance, particularly in Italy.” Letters in Latin with English translations. CRRS,LC,UTL

Malta. Translated by Thomas Mainwaringe (1579), Folger ms V.a. 508 (formerly ms. add. 588); edited by Helen Vella Bonavita, University of Wales, Lampeter. Tempe, Arizona: ACMRS (Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies) in conjunction with Renaissance English Text Society, 2007. (Medieval and Renaissance texts and studies; vol. 339. Renaissance English Text Society; seventh series, vol. 33 (for 2008)) [11], 2-112, [6] pp.: ill.; facsim., maps. Curione (1503-1569) was an Italian Protestant from the Turin region, a prolific and successful writer of devotional works, who became professor of rhetoric at Basle. His son Augustine (1538-1567) filled this position after Celio’s death. The Knights of St. John and the Maltese defended the island against the assaults of an Ottoman armada for five months in 1565. Their ultimate success was celebrated throughout Europe by Catholic and Protestant alike, and over seventy publications concerning the siege appeared in the next five years. M ainwearinge’s translation of Curione’s Latin account, which was first published in 1567, remained in manuscript. Vella Bonavita writes: “With the exception of a single German text, accounts of the siege of M alta tend to be strongly Catholic in their bias, hence dubious in their appeal to the Protestant side of the Reformation divide. Curio’s account of the siege provides an alternative history. So far from hailing the pope as the potential leader of Christendom against the invading forces of Islam, Curio’s translation [based on the account of the Sicilian-based cleric Pietro Gentile de Vendome] in fact provides a competing history of the siege that does not support this option; his narrative blazes a trail that does not lead to Rome. On the contrary, the emphasis throughout his text on the slowness of Christian princes to respond to the situation in M alta and the final warning of the continuing threat to Christendom make the guns of St. Angelo firing off blank salutes in celebration of the victory appear both futile and selfdeluding. Curio’s work certainly appeals for unity, but the question of who should lead such a union remains open.” LC,UTL

Honess writes: “This edition aims to provide a modern and accessible English translation of Dante’s letters on political themes (and not only those relating to Henry VII), with an introduction and full explanatory commentary which shed light on the role of these letters not only as documents which emphasize and support the political views put forward most explicitly in the Monarchia and in book IV of the Convivio, but also as pieces of persuasive and impassioned writing which, on many different levels, reflect the concerns of the author’s great poetic work, the Commedia.” Honess is a Senior Lecturer in Italian at the University of Leeds.

Dante puts forward his argument in support of imperial rule. Dante proposed, Paolucci notes: “that the emperor alone could end the political wars of the city-states of the peninsula we now know as Italy, that he alone could insure world peace” The publishers note: “De Monarchia was written as the medieval city-states of the Italian peninsula were giving way to the new European nation-states. The first to emerge was France — the direct result of the tragic conflict which destroyed the empire of the German Hohenstaufens and debilitated the Church for centuries. In the role of ‘terzium gaudens,’ France surfaced as the ‘third party’ to claim and enjoy the spoils.” Issued in paper in 2007, though dated 2008. LC,UTL.

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2007-8. (The I Tatti Renaissance Library; 25, 36) 2 v. ([6], vii-xxii, [3], 2-471, [1]; [6], vii-xi, [2], 2-544, [4] pp.): map. M acaronic verse with parallel English prose translation. Girolamo Folengo (1496-1544), who took the name Teofilo as a Benedictine novice, became, under the pseudonym M erlin Cocai, the most important macaronic poet of the Italian Renaissance. Anthony Oldcorn writes: “M acaronic verse in practice looks like Latin — its syntax is Latin, its rhetoric humanistic and literary — but when the reader takes a closer look, much of the vocabulary turns out to be colloquial Italian, even dialect. The result is a deliberately droll, incongruous, invented language, whose humour derives from the bathetic collision of the high and low registers.” (The Cambridge History of Italian Literature, 1999: 274) Folengo’s masterpiece is the mock-epic chivalric romance Baldus. The hero is a thuggish peasant (a royal bastard) who embarks on a series of

913 picaresque and fantastic journeys, which end in the afterworld. Later in life, Folengo was expelled from and then readmitted to the Benedictines, and published a number of unconvincing religious poems in Latin and Italian. During his travels he came to know M ichelangelo’s dear friend the poet Vittoria Colonna (see 2005). The influence of Baldus can be seen in the works of Folengo’s near contemporary Rabelais (ca. 1490-1553?), himself also a Benedictine monk.

Grimaldi Pizzorno writes in her preface: “The reception of Ortensio Lando’s Paradossi cioè sentenze fuori del comune parere at the Elizabethan Inns of Court is the general subject of this study. The Defence of Contraries Paradoxes against common opinion, here reproduced in the appendix, was hastily published in 1593 by Anthony M unday; it contained only 12 paradoxes translated not from the original Italian, but from the French of Charles Estienne who had turned Lando’s fideist Paradossi into a manual of jocose moot cases for his selected audience, the law apprentices of the Parliament of Paris. Likewise, The Defence of Contraries, is addressed to the lawyers and wits at the London Inns of Court, at the time a vital centre of coterie writing, scholarship and patronage.” She considers her study an extended introduction to M unday’s version. M unday’s title page is reproduced in facsimile. The twelve paradossi are: For Povertie; For the hard-favoured face, or fowle Complexion; For the ignorant; For blindnesse; For the foole; For him that hath lost his worldly Honours and Preferments; For drinkers; For sterilitie; For the exiled; For Infirmitie of the Bodie; For Teares; For Dearth.

response to the intensity of ambient light; he writes of the dilation of the pupil in nocturnal animals, especially birds, and develops a comparison of pupil sizes among nocturnal birds as an indication of better vision.” At head of title: Ente raccolta vinciana. Issued in paper. LC,UTL

Roderick Conway M orris gave a very positive review of Ferguson’s book in the Times Literary Supplement (December 12, 2008), and wrote: “Although Venetian is routinely referred to as a ‘dialetto’ in Italy, this has become misleading in that it is now widely and unthinkingly interpreted as implying that Venetian is a dialect of Italian. In fact Venetian predated Italian by hundreds of years. It grew naturally and autonomously out of the late Latin spoken in the north-east of the peninsula. Italian, on the other hand, was an artificially created language, based primarily on vernacular Tuscan and the works of Tuscan writers, notably Petrarch, Dante and Boccaccio, and forged by scholars and humanists of the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries in an attempt to found a national language, written and spoken, for the entire population of the yet to be unified country. M ore or less universal knowledge of Italian was only achieved in the second half of the twentieth century. ... Venetian, which is in many respects as different from Italian as Italian is from French and Spanish, and can be impenetrable for Italians from elsewhere, is still spoken by the majority of Venetians living in the lagoon and also in the M estre-M arghera conurbation on its western shores.” Issued in paper.

This is an unabridged republication of Thomson’s translation, which was first published by Kegan Paul in 1883 under the title Discourses on the First Decade of Titus Livius. Issued in paper. LC,OCLC,Wesleyan

A biography of the author’s great-great-great-greatgrandmother, Lucia M emmo M ocenigo (1770-1854), based largely on the letters written by Lucia to Alvise M ocenigo during their engagement, and a larger collection of letters written by Lucia to her sister Paolina over the course of five decades. Di Robilant notes that in her correspondence: “Lucia came to life more fully against the fast-changing social and political landscape of the times.” A portrait of Lucia at the age of sixteen by the distinguished painter Angelica Kauffmann (1741-1807) still exists in a private collection in England. Later in her life, Lucia rented part of the Palazzo M ocenigo to Lord Byron during his time in Venice (1816-1819). An earlier book by Di Robilant, A Venetian Affair (see entry 03119) took as its subject the love story of Lucia’s father, Andrea M emmo, with the Anglo-Italian beauty Giustiniana Wynne (see also Casanova Loved Her in Healey 1998, entries 2903-4).

Though without formal training, Matraini excelled in a number of literary genres popular at the time — poetry, religious meditation, discourse and dialogue. In her midlife she published a collection of erotic love poetry, but later her work shifted toward a search for spiritual salvation.” M aclachlan has translated forty-six poems out of a total of ninety-one, together with some of Matraini’s spiritual writings.

(Penguin classics) [8], ix-xli, [4], 4-237, [9] pp. In his note on the texts, M ortimer writes: “In a letter of 1805 Wordsworth pointed out the three major difficulties that face any translator of M ichelangelo’s poetry: the obscure and contorted syntax which is ‘most difficult to construe’, ‘the majesty and strength’ that M ichelangelo shares with Dante and that is so different from the smooth musicality of the Petrarchan tradition, and, finally, the sheer compression of the utterance: ‘so much meaning has been put by M ichael Angelo into so little room, and that meaning so excellent in itself that I find the difficulty of translating him insurmountable’. The comment is so perceptive that the modern translator can supply little more than a wry nod of agreement.” Nevertheless, he is considered the most forceful Italian lyric poet of the sixteenth century. Anthony M ortimer is Emeritus Professor of English Literature at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. His translations from Petrarch’s Canzoniere were published in 1977 and republished by Penguin in 2002, and his anthology of translations Petrarch’s Canzoniere in the English Renaissance first appeared in 1975 (entry 7551), and was revised and enlarged for a 2005 edition (entry 0595).

The editors write: “Vilfredo Pareto [1848-1923] is considered to be among the great economists in the history of economic thought and one of the founders of modern economic science, but economists still have very limited acquaintance with his thought. This lack certainly stems from the fact that none of his major works in economics were available in English until the 1971 translation of the Manuel d’économie politique (1909). ... The Cours d’économie politique (1896-1897) was never translated into English, and neither was the ‘Considerazioni sui principi fondamentali dell’economia pura,’ a series of articles published in the Italian Giornale degli economisti between May 1892 and October 1893. They are here translated for the first time. The set of articles ... are the first systematic representation of Pareto’s contribution to pure economics. Above all, they are a methodological and theoretical reflection on the concepts of utility and marginal utility considered as the basic theoretical category of the new marginalist economics.” KVU,LC,UTL

Hainsworth notes that: “The tradition of Petrarch translation in English is not a glorious one overall. The high points come early, with S’amor non è (Canzoniere 132) recast as the Cantus Troili in Chaucer’s Troilus and Cressida (ll. 40020), and the twenty or so versions of Wyatt and Surrey, which range in character from fairly close translation to free adaptations.

Cachey writes: “Besides the general updating which has been effected by revising the translation against the most currently authoritative text of the original [the Ambrosiana manuscript prepared by Andrea Canova (Padua: Antenore, 1999)], numerous and in some cases crucial errors of the Robertson translation have been corrected. ... Contrary to Robertson’s practice, place names, including the many toponyms for the Philippines and Moluccas as well as proper names, when clearly identifiable, have been rendered with their modern equivalents. The Robertson translation’s principal virtue, however, has been maintained, that is, its accurate portrayal of Pigafetta’s prose style, achieved primarily through a highly literal rendering.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Lanham [etc.]: Lexington Books, a division of Rowman & Littlefield Publishers, 2007. (Studies in ethics and economics) [4], v-l, 1-189, [5] pp. A translation of Rosmini’s work on constitutional history, first published in M ilan by Redaelli in 1848. In his foreword to this translation, Robert A. Sirico writes: “Rosmini’s decision to present an outline and analysis of the principles that should underlie a constitution designed for a free people afforded him the opportunity to explore a staggering rang[e] of philosophical, social, historical, economic a[n]d theological matters. To

919 present such an array of material in a coherent manner evidences a synthetic capacity rare enough in the academy and perhaps rarer still in clerical circles. Rosmini, one should remember, was a Catholic priest whose chief concern was human redemption. Yet not only does this ultimate goal not impede him from a consideration of more finite and proximate concerns: it actually appears to propel and motivate him. Indeed, it provides the lens through which he is capable of coordinating abstractions into social structures worthy of the human person who, created in the imago Dei, has a destiny beyond human society: heaven or hell.” It is perhaps unfortunate that Rosmini’s work appeared in the revolutionary year of 1848, when rioting drove Pope Pius IX from Rome to Gaeta, and from a liberal policy in the Papal States to ruling with the support of Napoleon III’s soldiers.

72)] Commentary on Aristotle’s Politics. Thomas Aquinas; translated by Richard J. Regan. Indianapolis; Cambridge: Hackett Publishing Company, c2007. [4], v-ix, [1], 1-213, [1] pp.

M atilde Serao (1856-1927) was a distinguished and prolific Neapolitan writer and journalist who also founded several newspapers and literary reviews. Italy, and in particular Naples, mourned her death as the passing of a national treasure. M cDonald Carolan comments: “Neapolitans showed their love and respect for M atilde Serao because she displayed immense compassion in her truthful descriptions of their virtues and failings.” Serao noted that the historically accurate stories in Unmarried Women are based upon memories and therefore infused with authorial subjectivity. M cDonald Carolan writes: “For a woman in a prefeminist world, Serao was extraordinarily modern. The newly unified Italian state to which she and her family returned from exile in Greece adopted the Napoleonic law code that prohibited financial independence for married women. As ‘The State Telegraph Office’ [translated here] illustrates, this was in an age in which marriage often necessitated a woman’s departure from the workforce. Yet, despite the restrictions imposed upon her sex, Serao became an enormously successful and well-known writer.” For Serao, see also Healey, 1998. Issued in paper. KSM,LC,UTL

Regan states that this edition is the first English translation of all of Aquinas’ commentary on the Politics. He notes that: “First, Aquinas indicates a good, if occasionally faulty, understanding of the ancient Greek world. Second, he understands the basic arguments of Aristotle very well. Third, he clarifies and systematizes the thought of Aristotle, perhaps more than the elliptical text justifies. Aquinas sticks to explanation of the text but occasionally expands on it (e.g., on moneymaking) or qualifies it (e.g., on slavery).” Also issued in paper. KSM ,OCLC,UTL

The publisher notes that the book: “Presents in one volume the English translations of three works by St. Thomas Aquinas, in each of which he defended, under different aspects, the fledgling mendicant orders (his own Dominicans and the Franciscans) against the attacks of the established secular or diocesan clergy.” In his introduction, M ark Johnson writes: “We readers of the twenty-first century, coming to the works of St. Thomas Aquinas, can easily forget that the religious order to which Thomas made his life-long profession was at one time a fledgling, just as all religious orders once were. For us, Thomas’s religious order — the Dominicans, now almost eight hundred years old — has always been there, a seemingly permanent element of Catholic Christianity. This volume is a vivid reminder that things were not always thus, and that, further, the young Dominican Order, not too long after its birth, and just as St. Thomas was becoming a teacher in it, had at times to defend its very existence.” LC,OCLC,UTL

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press, 2007. (The I Tatti Renaissance library; 24) [5], vi-xvi, [1], 2-206, [2] pp. Bowersock notes: “Between 2 April and 25 M ay of the year 1440 Lorenzo Valla composed his devastating exposure of the so-called Donation of Constantine. ... The Donation provided the papacy, at least since the eighth century when it seems to have been fabricated, with a justification for its claims to political authority over the realms of the western M editerranean. ... [Valla] split his work into two main parts, rhetorical and philological. The opening part, imagined as set in a court of kings and princes, brings together the sons of Constantine, an

orator representing the Roman senate and people, and Pope Sylvester as petitioners before the jurors, and they deliver elaborate speeches all designed to demonstrate the inherent implausibility of Constantine’s giving away half his empire. In the second part Valla rips apart the Latinity of the text of the Donation to prove, brilliantly and decisively, that Constantine could not have written it. His analysis of language and style has often been seen, rightly, as the beginning of serious philological criticism. ... By 1546 it was available in Czech, French, German, English, and Italian. Its value for reformation theology was immediately apparent, and it soon became an embarrassment for a church that had accepted it with equanimity a century before.” Also issued in paper in 2008.

His novella Peppino is the story of an honest Italian newsboy and bootblack in New York, and is one of the earliest literary records of the Italian immigration to the United States. Ventura was a friend of the Italian actors Tommaso Salvini (1829-1915) and Adelaide Ristori (1822-1906; for her memoirs, with contributions by Ventura, see 1969).

0785 Warrior, courtier, singer: Giulio Cesare Brancaccio and the performance of identity in the late Renaissance. Richard Wistreich, Newcastle University, UK. Aldershot, Hampshire; Burlington, VT: Ashgate Publishing, 2007. [11], xii, [3], 2-332, [6] pp.: ill.; facsims., music, table. In his introduction, Wistriech writes: “Of all the Italian bass singers of the sixteenth century, none is more illustrious nor so intriguing a character than the Neapolitan Giulio Cesare Brancaccio [1515-1586], best known to historians of vocal music because of his brief membership of the famous ‘musica secreta’ of Duke Alfonso d’Este II in Ferrara in the early years of the 1580s. However, I was struck by the fact that although music historians are naturally interested in Brancaccio as a famous singer, this was of almost negligible interest to his two twentieth-century biographers [Benedetto Croce, and Umberto Coldagelli], presumably because of the tiny role that music appears to have played in his life as a soldier and courtier. ... This book, then, is in the form of a biography, but one that has several versions or layers that in practice are inseparably interleaved, but can be roughly delineated as follows. First, it brings together just about all the currently known documentary sources relating to its central subject, Giulio Cesare Brancaccio, irrespective of their sometimes highly eclectic nature. ...

Secondly ... I engage with specific contemporary intellectual or institutional structures, setting Brancaccio’s story against them.” The first part of the book deals with Brancaccio’s life in general, the second with “the musical dimension of Brancaccio’s identity, bringing together a large array of different kinds of source material about bass singing in Italy in the sixteenth century.” The Italian and Latin sources are translated into English. Though Brancaccio is mentioned in several entries in the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, he does not rate an entry of his own. LC,M USI

0786 ZANCHI, Girolamo [De religione Christiana fides (1585). English and Latin] De religione christiana fides. Confession of Christian religion. Girolamo Zanchi; edited by Luca Baschera and Christian Moser. Leiden; Boston: Brill, c2007. (Studies in the history of Christian traditions; v. 135) 2 v. ([7], viii, [3], 2-523, [1]; [3], 526-837, [5] pp.): ill.; facsims., port. This edition is based on the English translation printed at Cambridge by John Legat in 1599, under the title: H. Zanchius his confession of Christian religion. Which nowe at length being 70 yeares of age, he caused to bee published in the name of himselfe & his family. Englished in sense agreeable, and in words as answerable to his owne latine copie, as in so graue a mans worke is requisite: for the profite of all the vnlearneder sort, of English christians, that desire to know his judgement in matters of faith. The translator is not named. The editors note: “Forced to leave Italy because of his Protestant views, Girolamo Zanchi (1516-1590) became a respected Reformed theologian abroad and helped to shape the emerging ‘Reformed Orthodoxy’. Zanchi’s work on a common confession of faith for the Reformed churches placed him at the heart of the international Reformed community. Although that project was never brought to fruition, the result of Zanchi’s efforts was De religione christiana fides, a critical edition of which is published here, alongside a 16 th-century English translation of the work. De religione christiana fides serves as a compendium of Zanchi’s mature theology and reflects the development of Reformed dogmatics and polemic more generally in the late 16 th century. It therefore illuminates a critical phase in the struggle of the Reformed churches for confessional cohesion and survival.” See also Zanchi’s work on predestination (entry 3094). LC,VUEM ,UTL

Nicole Bériou of the Université de Lyon 2 writes: “In contrast with the wide apocryphal tradition of works attributed to Bonaventure, there is no doubt that his Fifty Sunday Sermons are genuine. They are really not sermons, but a skillful teaching technique to give Franciscans an accurate introduction to their new pastoral commitment. This collection can be compared to the ‘Tractatus’ of the Fathers as Bonaventure penetrates the religious message conveyed in the Liturgical Year.” LC,PIMS,UTL

Edited by Christian Heimerl; with a parallel text of the Medieval Latin Anatomia edited from Leipzig Universitätsbibliothek MS 1177. Heidelberg: Universitätsverlag Winter, c2008. (Middle English texts; 39) [11], xii-lx, [1], 2-170, [2] pp.: ill.; diagrams, facsims., maps, tables. Parallel texts in Latin and M iddle English. Heimerl writes: “William of Saliceto was born after 1210 in the small town of Saliceto ... . In 1239 William finished his studies and training at the medical school of Bologna, and was qualified to teach. In the following years he gained experience through his work as a doctor and teacher in Piacenza (from 1248), later in Cremona, M ilan, and Pavia, where he treated the rich and poor alike in hospitals and prisons. He also proved and expanded his medical skills on the battlefield for the Bolognian [that is, Bolognese] forces. Saliceto returned to Bologna, where he worked very successfully from 1269 or 1271 as a practising doctor and teacher at the medical faculty founded by Taddeo Alderotti in 1260. His influence there can be compared to masters such as Avicenna [980-1037]. He avoided becoming involved in the political conflicts between the Guelfs and the Ghibbellines [sic] by following the call of Alderotti’s son-inlaw, Bruno del Garbo, to come to Verona. He worked as a certified doctor in the city and its hospitals and in 1275 finished the first of his two works, the Chirurgia. The Summa conservationis et curationis, his work on internal medicine, was completed during the following four to five years.” The Anatomia is the fourth book of William’s Chirurgia, and describes, as the publisher notes: “a capite ad calcem [from head to heels] those parts of the body and their positions that are important for a surgeon. The Anatomia founded the genre of topographical or regional anatomy.” Also issued in paper. See also 2002.

Cristoforo Landino (1424-1498) was a humanist and poet. The Dictionary of Italian Literature notes: “After studying law at Volterra, Landino came to Florence in 1439 and held the chair of poetry and rhetoric at the university (Studio fiorentino) after 1458. One of the most eminent poets and intellectuals who gathered in Lorenzo de’ M edici’s court and a member of the Platonic Academy, he became chancellor of the Florentine Republic in 1467.” (1979: 286). He is best known today for his edition and commentary on Dante’s Commedia (1481), and his commentaries on Virgil, and on Petrarch. Concerning this collection, the publisher writes: “His most substantial work of poetry was his Three Books on Xandra, written while still a young man. They consist primarily of love poetry in Latin directed to his lady-love Alessandra, but they also chronicle his life, friendships, interests, and growing political awareness. ... Also included in this volume is the Carmina Varia, a collection whose centerpiece is a group of elegies directed to the Venetian humanist Bernardo Bembo. These bring to life the Platonic passion Bembo conceived for Ginevra de’ Benci, later the subject of a famous painting by Leonardo da Vinci.

A brief review in the Times Literary Supplement for July 10, 2009 notes: “The exceptional archives of the Italian cities means that the focus necessarily falls on that region, but such is the significance of the subject to European civic evolution that a few more examples from elsewhere would have been welcome. Yet the richness of this Italian material enables Geltner to evoke the mechanics and customs of prison, showing that, by the end of the fourteenth century, many had come to occupy a permanent and prominent part of their cities’ lives. Once prison existed as a central feature of cities (both legally and physically), so imprisonment came to be a norm.” LC,SCC,UTL

[6], vii-xiv, [1], 2-1135, [3] pp., [12] pp. of plates: ill.; facsims., port. M ercuriale (1530-1606) was a physician and humanist. The son of a doctor, he studied at Bologna, Padua, and Venice. In an article on M ercuriale for the Journal of the History of Ideas (v. 64, no. 2; April 2003), Nancy G. Siraisi wrote that he: “presents an especially striking example of the participation of physicians in the broader culture of late humanism. Throughout a long and successful career as a practitioner and, subsequently, professor of medicine, M ercuriale combined medicine with antiquarian and historical interests. In particular, his De arte gymnastica, a work that combines an account of ancient athletics with with health advice, shows that he had many contacts among antiquarians in Rome.” His later works included De morbis cutaneis, on diseases of the skin (1572; see 1986), De morbis mulieribus (1582), on diseases of women, and De morbis puerorum (1583), on diseases of children. This translation of De arte gymnastica, based on the edition of 1601, is the first English translation of the whole work. It includes a study by Jean-M ichel Agasse which sets the book in the medical and intellectual context of the Renaissance. The publication of this edition was planned to coincide with the Beijing Olympics. OCLC,UTL

([4], v-xxxi, [2], 2-328, [8]; pp.) In his introduction to this first volume, D’Elia writes: “Bartolomeo Platina’s Lives of Christ and the Popes demonstrates both the success and the failure of humanist attempts to blur the lines between pagan and Christian antiquity. In the early lives contained in this volume (through AD 461), Roman history and pagan culture are given precedence. The lives of the popes, surprisingly, take second place to lengthy and sometimes lurid accounts of good and bad pagan emperors. The biographical compendium quickly reveals itself as a work of papal propaganda, however, as with the advancing years the popes gradually become the new emperors and preservers of classical civilization.. The first biographical sketch, a humanist retelling of Christ’s life, comes after the emperor Augustus is praised for his patronage of writers and building projects. ... Platina’s lives, however, not only reveal what a Renaissance humanist thought about Christian antiquity. The past forces Platina to think about the present and he often compares the virtuous saints of Christian antiquity with the corrupt clergy of his own day.” Foe a note on Platina, see entry 7557.

The editors write: “M arin Sanudo, the Venetian diarist, was born ... on M ay 22, 1466, ... into an old Venetian patrician family originally descended, he claimed, from a king of Padua. He lived out his three score years and ten in the service of his homeland, which in the half-century before his birth had grown to an empire spanning much of northern Italy, as well as the Adriatic and eastern M editerranean seas. A French chronicler of the time described Venice as ‘the most triumphant city,’ and indeed Venice was a power to be reckoned with throughout Europe and the Near East. It was the center of the commercial world, its trade routes lacing together its various parts, its diplomatic personnel recording its every newsworthy occurrence. This was Sanudo’s world, about which he was to leave a fifty-eight volume manuscript covering the events of almost fort years.”

Bibliography 2008 The diaries, written in the Venetian vernacular, were first published between 1879 and 1903. The translator of this selection writes that the: “challenge was to render Sanudo’s chancelloresque Italian, his perfunctory and repetitious vocabulary, and his often awkward syntax into a readable text while preserving the lively and living quality of his reports. In some passages that living quality is almost painterly, as if he were describing a theatrical scene replete with costumes, gestures, and words laden with consequence. Nor does Sanudo hesitate to add Latin phrases or classical lines to indicate his own cultural background and his familiarity with classical style.” But: “This was a text composed with some rapidity and not always legibly.” KSM ,LC,UTL

Cambridge, Massachusetts; London, England: Harvard University Press. (The I Tatti Renaissance library; 31) [6], vii-xviii, [1], 2-314, [4] pp. Concerning Scala (1430-1497), Alison Brown writes: “He was born the son of a tenant miller in the provincial town of Colle Val d’Elsa in 1430. After graduating as a lawyer in Florence’s studium, he spent e year in M ilan with the Borromeo family and returned to Florence in 1455 to begin his rapid ascent to power as a new man. He first worked as Pierfrancesco de’ M edici’s secretary; in 1459 he was appointed chancellor of the Guelf party; and six years later, in 1465, he was appointed first chancellor of Florence, the top administrative job in the city-state. He was later awarded citizenship, knighted by the pope in 1484, and two years afterwards drawn for the top political office as Gonfalonier of Justice, ‘to the great anger and indignation of all men of good birth,’ as Francesco Guicciardini famously commented. ... Although Scala initially lost his office as First Chancellor on the fall of the M edici in November 1494, he was reappointed shortly afterwards as joint-chancellor, dying in office in July 1497 in the middle of writing a long Lucretian poem On Trees dedicated to the son of his former patron, Lorenzo Pierfrancesco de’ M edici. The most important writing of this period of his life, however, was his Defense against the Detractors of Florence, the last writing translated here.” The Latin texts are based on those edited by Alison Brown for Bartolomeo Scala: Humanistic and Political Writings (1997). The translation of Dialogue on Laws and Legal Judgments (1483), is by David M arsh. CRRS,LC,UTL

0867 SCALA, Flaminio [Il teatro delle favole rappresentative (1611). Selections] The Commedia dell’Arte of Flaminio Scala: a translation and analysis of 30 scenarios. Edited and

933 translated by Richard Andrews. Lanham, Maryland; Toronto; Plymouth, UK: The Scarecrow Press, 2008. [4], v-lvi, 1-341, [3] pp. Andrews translates thirty of the fifty scenarios Scala published in 1611. He notes: “Scala’s scenarios have been turned into English once before [see 1967]; but that earlier version is so laden with error that it often gives incorrect or garbled information about the stories, about the characters, and about what Scala intended to happen on stage. We hope here to supply an accurate rendering — if only to assure readers that when they are puzzled by what they find (as they will be, sometimes), then the confusions are genuinely there in the original and have not been inserted or exacer-bated by the translator.” Andrews also comments: “this volume shows that although commedia dell’arte was indeed comic for a large part of the time, its range was much greater than the pure scurrilous farce which tends to be conveyed by many of the visual records. ... These scenarios certainly contain some material in that vein. But they also offer — still under the label of comedy — many more troubled stories and confron-tations, involving anguished emotions and moral dilemmas which audiences took seriously. M oreover Flaminio Scala himself, by including in his collection ten scenarios not labelled as comic, was attempting (perhaps more problem-atically) to demonstrate that tragic and heroic themes could also be delivered by improvising professionals.” Andrews is Emeritus Professor of Italian at the University of Leeds. M uch of his research and publication has been devoted to Italian theatre in the early modern period. LC,UTL

The editors write: “At the end of the sixteenth century, a great deal had already been written about the orders. The most famous of these were books by Serlio, Vignola and Palladio. Anyone wanting to add something useful to this discussion had to know exactly what he was talking about. This was the case with Scamozzi. He had enjoyed a good education, both in architecture and mathematics, had spent some time in Rome in order to study classical antiquity and possessed an incredible knowledge of the classical texts about architecture. Above all, it was his passion for completeness, scientific clarity and logic that set him apart from his predecessors.” The prints are from the 1640 Dutch edition of Scamozzi’s book.

Toronto; Buffalo; London: University of Toronto Press, c2008. (The Lorenzo Da Ponte Italian library) [5], vi-vii, [3], 3-787, [5] pp.: ill.; facsims., port. The publisher notes: “Bartolomeo Scappi (c. 1500-1577) was arguably the most famous chef of the Italian Renaissance. He oversaw the preparation of meals for several Cardinals and was such a master of his profession that he became the personal cook for two Popes. At the culmination of his prolific career he compiled the largest cookery treatise of the period to instruct an apprentice on the full craft of fine cuisine, its methods, ingredients, and recipes. Accompanying his book was a set of unique and precious engravings that show the ideal kitchen of his day, its operations and myriad utensils, and [which] are exquisitely reproduced in this volume.” Scully notes: “In his set of engravings the artist displays an iconographic tour de force of technical and artistic skill. At the same time he bequeaths an abundant, eloquent archive of historic information.” LC,UTL (2)

0874 Who is Mary?: Three early modern women on the idea of the Virgin Mary. Vittoria Colonna, Chiara Matraini, and Lucrezia Marinella; edited and translated by Susan Haskins. Chicago; London: The University of Chicago Press, 2008. (The other voice in early modern Europe) [6], vii-xxviii, 1-280, [4] pp.: ill.; facsims., ports. The texts are: The Plaint of the Marchesa di Pescara on the Passion of Christ, Pianto della Marchesa di Pescara sopra la passione di Christo (1557), by Vittoria Colonna; Brief Discourse on the Life and Praises of the Most Blessed Virgin and Mother of the Son of God, Breve discorso sopra la Vita e laude della Beatiss. Verg. e Madre del Figliuol di Dio (1590), by Chiara M atraini; and The Life of the Virgin Mary, Empress of the Universe, La vita di Maria Vergine Imperatrice

dell’Universo (1602), by Lucrezia M arinella. Haskins writes: “These texts are testimony to the importance of the Virgin Mary to Catholic women in Italy in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. They would probably have attracted a largely female audience, and those by Chiara M atraini and Lucrezia Marinella, especially, appear to have a more female bias ... . Of the three writers, Colonna’s somewhat austere devotion to M ary focuses on Christ in his Passion and death, while the other two present a M ary who, unlike in the gospel accounts, is constantly with Jesus throughout his life and at his death, playing a redemptive role in interceding for Christians in their passage from earth to heaven, indeed, she is a heavenly being herself, present in God’s redemptive plan even before the Creation. In elaborating her role beyond that found in the canonical gospels, the authors make use of New Testament apocrypha and other noncanonical texts, texts that had been part of popular piety since the late thirteenth century and, although criticized by Church leaders, had continued to be used, particularly by laypeople.” Also issued in paper.
