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)

Dante Alighieri. Giambullari Pier Francesco. Lezzioni... lette nella Accademia fiorentina. Firenze, [Lorenzo Torrentino], 1551.In-8° (mm 160x102). Segnatura: A-K8. 157, [3 bianche] pagine. Stemma mediceo al frontespizio, al verso della medesima carta ritratto del Giambullari inquadrato da cornice a doppio filetto (il bordo esterno è leggermente rifilato). Capilettera silografici ornati. Legatura in pergamena del Seicento su piatti in cartone, dorso liscio con titolo impresso in oro su tassello marrone; tagli goffrati. Qualche leggera fioritura e macchia di inchiostro, ma una buona copia. Un'annotazione manoscritta di mano posteriore alla carta di guardia posteriore, che elenca le opere di Giambullari.Prima edizione dei quattro discorsi su Dante di Pier Francesco Giambullari, pronunciati tra il 1541 e 1548. I primi due discorsi furono già inclusi nella raccolta Lettioni d'Academici fiorentini sopra Dante, stampata nel 1547 da Anton Francesco Doni. Giambullari, membro fondatore dell'Accademia Fiorentina, fu strenuo difensore della cultura fiorentina e, in contrasto con Bembo e i suoi seguaci, uno dei più intransigenti propugnatori della lingua volgare. Già nel 1538 iniziò a comporre un commento alla Divina Commedia, che però interruppe al primo canto. Sei anni dopo, diede alle stampe un trattato sulle dimensioni e misure dell'Inferno. La sua fama di commentatore del Sommo Poeta si deve tuttavia proprio alle sue Lezzioni, che gli valsero l'appellativo di "moderno espositore". Appare in questa edizione per la prima volta il ritratto di Giambullari, successivamente riproposto senza cornice, probabilmente per motivi di proporzione (cfr. G. Zappella, Il ritratto nel libro italiano del Cinquecento, Milano, 1988, I, p. 251). Edit16 20913; D. Moreni, Annali della tipografia fiorentina di Lorenzo Torrentino, Firenze, 1819, pp. 152-154, no. XV; USTC, 832688; Adams, G-588. 8° (160x102 mm). Collation: A-K8. 157, [3 blank] pages. Woodcut of the Medici coat-of-arms on the title-page. Full-page woodcut engraving of the author's portrait on verso of the title-page, set within a double-rule border (border is slightly trimmed). Woodcut decorated initials. Seventeenth-century stiff vellum, flat spine with gilt title on brown lettering-piece, panels with a central blind-stamped lozenge framed within double blind-ruled fillet, gauffred edges. Some light foxing and staining, as expected, but a good copy. Later manuscript note on the back flyleaf listing Giambullari's works.First edition of the first work to contain all four Dante lectures given by Pier Francesco Giambullari between 1541 and 1548. The first two lectures had already appeared in the collection Lettioni d'Academici fiorentini sopra Dante, printed in 1547 by Anton Francesco Doni. Giambullari, a founding member of the Accademia Fiorentina, was a champion of Florentine culture. In contrast with Bembo and his followers, he sought to validate not only contemporary Florentine language, but also Dante (in opposition to Petrarch). Already in 1538, he had begun writing a commentary on the Commedia, although this never progressed beyond the first canto. Six years later, he published a small treatise on the size and location of the Inferno. It was particularly for his lectures, however, that Giambullari's reputation as a Dante commentator raised to the point that his fellow members of the Accademia Fiorentina started referring to him as the "moderno espositore" ('modern commentator'). The present volume contains the Lezzione prima, nel consolato di m. Giovanni Strozzi. Del sito del Purgat[orio]; the Lezzione seconda, nel consolato di Bernardo Segni. De la carità [Paradise, canto 26]; the Lezzione III. nel consolato di Carlo Lenzoni. De gli influssi celesti [Paradise, canto 8]; and the Lezzione IIII nel consolato di Gio. Batista Gelli. De l'ordine dello universo [Paradise, canto 29]. Giambullari's portrait, printed here for the first time, was later reissued without the border, probably due to its being judged disproportioned with respect to the figure and the page (cf. G. Zappella, Il ritratto nel libro italiano del Cinquecento, Milan, 1988, I, p. 251). Edit16 20913; D. Moreni, Annali della tipografia fiorentina di Lorenzo Torrentino, Firenze, 1819, pp. 152-154, no. XV; USTC, 832688; Adams, G-588.
