Tra il 1483 e il 1484 a soli 17 anni Marin Sanuto a seguito dell'Inquisitore di Terraferma partecipò a questo incredibile viaggio a scopo amministrativo che lo portò da Padova all'Istria toccando la Lombardia. Durante il viaggio annotò le sue impressioni che consegnò a Pietro Bembo ma restarono manoscritte (se ne conoscono due redazioni conservate in due codici a Venezia e a Padova) fino al 1847 quando lo storico inglese Rawdon Brown ne curò la presente edizione, facendo riferimento al codice 996 conservato alla Biblioteca di Padova. Contiene disegni a penna del Sanuto che raffigurano i castelli e le fortezze, e un intero capitolo in rima nel quale lo stesso riassumeva quello che sarebbe andato a trascrivere in prosa.

First edition in Italian, second issue. Rome: Pietro Antonio Facciotti, 1638. Quarto (9 ¾" x 7 3/8", 248mm x 187mm). [Full collation available.] With an engraved title-page, engraved frontispiece and 45 engraved plates after Pietro da Cortona, Guido Reni et al., all integral with the text. Bound in XVIIIc half mottled calf over tree-marbled paper boards (re-backed with the original back-strip laid down). On the spine, five panels. Author and title gilt to citron calf in the second panel. All edges of the text-block speckled red. Fore and lower edges of the text-block untrimmed. Re-backed with the original back-strip laid down. Some rubbing to the extremities. Persistent but mostly very pale damp-stain to the upper edge of the text-block. Moderate tanning to quires Ss and Zz; a little peripheral tanning throughout, particularly at the deckle-edges. Stains to Mm1 and Fff3. The bottom edge of the title-leaf trimmed and replaced, and some old repairs to ?3-4. Dd1-2 partly unopened. Armorial bookplate of Henry Rogers Broughton to the front paste-down. Giovanni Battista Ferrari (1584-1655) was a Sienese Jesuit who, in addition to deep learning in Semitic languages (he was professor of Hebrew at the Jesuit College in Rome) managed the gardens of the Palazzo Barberini in Rome (now home to the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica). There the famed gardens were joined by a library of botanical manuscripts, placing Ferrari at the heart of the horticultural revolution, with the land and resources of an important papal family (the dedicatee was Anna Colonna Barberini, niece of Pope Urban VIII). The twin stars of Ferrari's botanical output are the present work -- first published in Latin in 1633, but suppressed because of the references to the Accademia dei Lincei and their microscope -- and the Hesperides, the first European book on citrus. The Flora, here translated by Ludovico Aureli from Latin into "Tuscan," is one of the first floral works that prioritizes the aesthetic over the medicinal. The plates (for which the work is most celebrated), engraved after the great baroque Italian artists of the day (Cortona, Reni, Andrea Sacchi), all also in the employ of the Barberini, depict garden design, allegories of the gardener (including one particularly heroic slaying of a slug), tools, bouquets and individual species, labeled in ribbon banderoles. The present second issue lacks the errata (Yy6), the errors having been corrected. Henry Rogers Broughton (1900-1973), second baron, was the brother of the first Baron Fairhaven (Urban Huttleston Rogers Broughton), a title created for their father, Urban Hanlon Broughton, who died before it could be bestowed upon him. Their mother was the heiress of Henry H. Rogers, the stupendously wealthy oil magnate who became a senior executive of Standard Oil. Armed with their grandfather's American fortune, the Broughtons were able to buy and to maintain Anglesey Abbey in Cambridgeshire. The second Baron...

[First Edition] Di'bil b. 'Ali- The Life & Writings of an Early Abbasid Poet Leon Zolondek [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] 65.18 CAD Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: "To the modern student of ninth-century Arabic literature, Di'bil's influence as a critic and literary historian--"the poet of the learned and the learned of the poets"--is perhaps of even more interest than his verse. Mr. Zolondek has assembled materials for a reconstruction of Di'bil's long-lost yet widely quoted Book of the Poets. This medium-sized hard cover book was published by the University of Kentucky Press, dated 1961 and judging from the Library of Congress Catalog Card No. 61-6553, I am assuming that it is a First Edition. Please see the photos of the Preface and the Table of Contents for more insight into the book. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket shows some minor along the spine including a small hole at its base. The hard covers are clean and bright with just a bit of light bumping at the base of the spine. Inside, the book is unmarked and the pages are clean and bright throughout, without toning or foxing. There is some darkening on the endpapers, probably from the acids of the binding glues. Both hinges are intact and the binding is tight, sound and square. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.

Light bumping to the spine tips, else fine in a good plus dust jacket which has some heavy chipping to the front panel. This copy INSCRIBED "To Ronald Cooke with best wishes from Walt Disney" Laid in is a letter from Ronald Cooke who states that his great aunt Lillian was a Christian Science reader who read several times for Disney, was friends with Disney, and had two books inscribed by Disney to Cooke. There is no reference to Christian Science in either of the extensive biographies of Disney by Bob Thomas and Neal Gabler. It is known that there were at least three animators who were allowed to do "secretarial" presentation signatures for Disney. We have carefully examined the signature in this book, and we believe this signature is by Hank Porter. Although this is almost certainly not signed by Walt himself, it is an interesting association and an unusually nice copy. 0

[First Edition] Ingele Ringele : di tshikave vunderlakhe geshikhte fun a ingele mit a ringele Elbe, Leon (LEYB BASSAYN; LEON BASSEIN) (September 25, 155.18 CAD In Yiddish. 200 pages. 247 x 176 mm. Illustrated. Elihu "Elye" Tenenholtz's copy. was born in the Russian hamlet of Azran, near the city of Rovne, in 1887 and came to the US at the age of ten. His first appearance in amateur Yiddish theatricals occurred in 1903, in staged readings of the works of Yiddish author Sholom Aleichem, the first person to do that. He augmented his theater appearances by writing for and editing a Yiddish satirical magazine under the pen-name "Moishe McCarthy". In 1916 he made the leap to the professional Yiddish stage and, befriended by the great doyenne Bessie Thomashevsky, helped her pen her memoirs, the first publication documenting a Yiddish actor's life. By 1920 he was appearing on both the Yiddish art stage with Maurice Schwartz and on Broadway, quickly rising to the top leadership of the Hebrew Actors' Union, the first arts union in America. In 1925 he co-founded a theater company with Celia Adler, half-sister of Luther Adler and "Method" teacher Stella Adler. In 1926 he was summoned to Hollywood and given a five-year contract at MGM. Like most Jewish actors, when he arrived in Hollywood he changed his name (choosing to bifurcate it into "Tenen Holtz"). During that time he regularly appeared in films alongside such stars as Greta Garbo, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Jean Harlow and Marion Davies and under directors like King Vidor and Victor Fleming. This period would prove to be Tenenholtz's most prolific and would account for the majority of the 50+ films in which he would appear. While in Hollywood he helped jump start its fledgling Yiddish theater, founding a popular Yiddish theater company that included other transplanted Yiddish actors including Muni Weisenfreund (aka Paul Muni, father and son Rudolph Schildkraut and Joseph Schildkraut. When his contract at MGM ended, he moved over to Warner Brothers where he made films with Leslie Howard under the direction of Michael Curtiz. By the late 1930s the only calls he got were from Poverty Row studios, so Tenenholtz moved to nearby Monrovia and opened a chicken ranch. Though he would occasionally go back in front of the camera, he retired from film. By the time TV emerged, he landed a few roles on shows such as Perry Mason (1957) and Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955). He died in 1971.

A Fine copy in a Very Good Minus DJ. 4 lbs. 7 oz. Giovanni Battista di Iacopo di Rossi [1494-1540], known as Rosso Fiorentino, is considered one of the foremost exponents of Italian Mannerism. From the very first, highly significant works commissioned of him, his rebellious impulse against the constraints of a classicism then in crisis is clearly evident. An aggressive and iconoclastic spirit, Rosso Fiorentino made a fundamental contribution in his subsequent works to the richest and most disquieting current of the Maniera, proposing compositions that were tormented, convulsive, and animated by an expressionism bordering on caricature. The author sketches a personal profile of him within the pages of this volume, offering numerous insights into the art of one of the most audacious and poetic creators in the history of Western art. Giovanni Battista di Iacopo di Rossi detto Rosso Fiorentino (Firenze 1494 Parigi 1540) è considerato uno dei massimi interpreti del manierismo italiano. Sin dalle prime, importantissime opere che gli vennero commissionate risulta evidente il suo slancio ribelle alle costrizioni di un classicismo ormai in crisi. Spirito aggressivo e iconoclasta, Rosso Fiorentino diede nelle opere successive un contributo fondamentale alla corrente più ricca e inquietante della maniera, proponendo composizioni tormentate, convulse e animate da un espressionismo tale da rasentare la caricatura. L'autore traccia nelle pagine di questo volume un suo personale profilo, offrendo numerosi spunti di riflessione sull'arte di uno dei più spregiudicati e poetici artefici della storia artistica dell'Occidente.

A fine copy with scattered mild spotting. Complete with the folding plate of the banquet (signed "Mattheus Greuter excudit".) Two lines have been erased from the plate, as is the case in all copies I have examined. Manuscript foliation at head of first leaf. With the combined woodcut arms of Cosimo II and Maria Magdalena. Small woodcut of the Laocoön on leaf B4. Extremely rare. 1 copy traced in North America (Getty). First edition of these verses composed for a banquet, held in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence on 19 October 1608, celebrating the wedding of Cosimo II de' Medici (1590-1621) and Maria Magdalena, Archduchess of Austria (1589-1631). The songs are sung by the Nymph of the Arno, possibly the singer, dressed as a nymph, who sat upon a giant conch shell at the left-hand side of the dais -upon which the bride's banquet table was situated- with two musicians at her feet (one playing a harp). The engraved caption of the plate indicates which guests were seated at the bride's table, and the positions of the musicians, singers, and performers. There are musicians seated on suspended clouds and noble children dressed as soldiers performing mock jousts; on either side of the dais are two floats, one with the singing nymph mentioned above, the other with Apollo, also singing and accompanied by musicians, seated in a chariot upon a cloud. The plate was engraved by Matteus Greuter (1564/6-1638) "Questa stampa illustra il banchetto nuziale che ebbe luogo il 19 ottobre 1608 a Firenze nel Salone dei Cinquecento a Palazzo Vecchio per le nozze di Cosimo dei Medici con Maria Maddalena d'Austria. La tavola incisa dal Greuter era inserita nell'opera del De Favilla "Rime" ma si trova anche nell'opera di C.
