FERRARIO, Pietro; Giovanni Giacomo DE' ROSSI. Palazzi di Roma. [1696-1702], [WITH] Insignium Romae templorum prospectus exteriores interioresque a celebrioribus architectis inventi, 1684, 72 engraved plates (including title) [BOUND WITH] isegni di vari altari e cappelle nelle chiese di Roma con le loro facciate fianchi piante e misure de piu celebri architetti. [c.1713], engraved title by Pietro Antonio de Pitri after Ciro Ferri and 49 engraved plates showing plans, sections and elevations. Rome, de' Rossi, 1696-1702; 1684; n.d. circa 1713. 2 vol. bound together. Large folio (c. 49.5 x 36 cm). 18th-century Roman mottled brown calf richly tooled in gold to a rococo design with curling leaf tools, fan-shaped tools, flowers, palmettes and fleurons, spines gilt in compartments with a large rose tool; German library label in each volume on front paste-down, a little light dampstaining, going into the top of image of vol. 2, just into the blank upper margin of vol. 1. Superb examples of the art of the bookbinder.These volumes have bindings almost identical to those found on similar de' Rossi plate books, indicating that they were most likely made for the publisher; for example, see the Franklin Kissner Collection of Books on Rome, Christie's, 3 October 1990, lot 447.De' Rossi was one of the leading publishers of architectural works on Rome in the late XVII century. As well as buying up existing copperplates from other publishers and the heirs of artists, he also commissioned new engravings by artists such as Castiglione, Bartoli, and Aquila. De' Rossi not only documents the classical architecture of Rome from the renaissance onwards, but also groups them by building type. The lack of text puts the images in pride of place and the choice of images constitutes the sole editorial contribution of the author and publisher.

Collation: A4[-A1] a-e8 f6 g-p8 q6 r8 s6 t8 v6 x8 y-z6. First edition of one of the finest and most beautiful early Italian illustrated books and the first to attempt life-like portraits. An Augustinian monk, Giacomo Filippo Foresti da Bergamo (1434-1520) draws here from Boccaccio's own 'De claris mulieribus', but develops a different approach, choosing lesser-known female figures to 'rediscover' them for posterity. The women portrayed include numerous saints and historical figures such as Joan of Arc, Margaret Queen of England and Mary Queen of Scots. The final seven portraits were contemporaries of the author and are of recognisable likenesses. Unlike other woodcuts in the book, those used for them were not repeated. Five of the seven have been identified as Bianca Maria Sforza, Catherina Countess of Forli and Imola, Leonora of Aragon, wife of Ercole d'Este, Danisella Trivulzia, and Cassandra Fidelis. The artist of these fine woodcuts has not been identified, but several engravers probably contributed to the illustrations. (1)
