Picerli, Silverio. Specchio secondo di musica, nel quale ... Canto figurato, e fermo. Naples: Matteo Nucci 1631. First edition, 4to. pp. (viii) 196 (viii), frontispiece engraving of Apollo (?) added, printeres dragon woodcut device within red-printed Cardinales hat on titlepage, musical scores throughout, contemporary limp vellum gilt, stamped in gilt on coves with eight hedgehogs within ornate oval frame, gilt border with one hedgehog at each corner, lower outer margin of D2-E4 slightly chipped, tears to two leaves [no loss], light lamp-oil stain to one gathering, occasional early manuscript annotations, a few leaves unopened Note: Second song manual written by Fr. Picerli and dedicated to Cardinal Boncompagno, Archbishop of Naples. The year before, Fr. Picerli had presented Cardinal Boncompagno with the first ÔSpecchio di musicae. A third one was expected to be published soon, as the Apostolic censor noted in his imprimatur on verso of titlepage, but no copy has been located. Fr. Silverio Picerli was a C16 Italian music theorist, a theologian and a Franciscan friar. He was successively Superior of the monastries of S. Maria Maddalena and of S. Chiara, in Naples. The depiction of hedgehogs (Ôriccie in Italian), on the binding, implies that the first owner belonged to an Italian family with this surname, perhaps the ÔRiccie family of musicians from Naples.

Stencilled colour printing-Griffie, E. et Chaffary, P. Livre contenant des antiennes pour tierces des divers tems de leannee, des messes de solemnites, des Benedicamus [&c.]. Ville-moustausson, 1802, large folio (47.5 x 31cm.), one leaf, title-page and text stencilled in red, blue, black and gold, numerous two-line initials in colour, many with coloured borders, musical staves ruled in MS, panelled mottled calf, rubbed, corners soft, some margins thumbed, a little light soiling Note: Stencils were used, in the Low Countries and the South of France, for printing service-books in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. These were usually produced for a single church of abbey, in limited numbers, requiring minimal mechanisation, in the scriptorium. The implication of the title of this work however is that it was intended for wider publication but at the same time it is intended to resemble a manuscript. The title has capitals in red and blue in two sizes with three typographic ornaments in red. The first chant, for Jan. 1st, has eight lines of MS stave with stencilled text and music and two four-line initials in red with red & blue ornamental borders. As the work proceeds different borders appear and yellow is added to the intitials. The contents follow the churches year, but there is also a Messe Republicaine, Messe Imperiale and the work finishes with Lame[n]tationes Jeremiae. No copy has been traced.

The quite early production of the present edition was perhaps due in part to the well-established ties between the printing capital of Venice and the Dalmatian and Istrian coasts.

Cotta, 1810, 3 volumes, 8vo and 4to , 17 engraved plates, 12 of which partly coloured by hand, plates mounted on guards, contemporary marbled boards, 7 plates from a shorter copy, a few very slightly trimmed at fore-edge without loss, occasional light spotting in text, boards slightly rubbed at edges and joints, spine of atlas slightly torn at head and foot Provenance: W. Kahl, early signature on title-pages; Robert Lenkiewicz (1941-2002), artist. Note: Wallis (1977) 210; Hagen 347. first edition. The culmination of Goethees work on optics, this work was a savage, and ultimately unsuccessful, criticism of the demonstration by Newton that white light is composite. Goethe took a psychological view of colour and his chapter on physiological colours (those that depend on the condition of the eye rather than illumination) is considered the most successful part of the work.
