Egitto Rosellini, Ippolito. I monumenti dell’Egitto e della Nubia, disegnati dalla spedizione scientifico-letteraria Toscana in Egitto. Pisa, Niccolò Capurro, 1832-44.

Rara prima edizione completa di questa monumentale opera, tra le maggiori per autorevolezza e importanza prodotte in tutto l’Ottocento. Tra il 1828 e il 1829 Carlo X e Leopoldo II finanziarono una spedizione franco-toscana in Egitto capeggiata da Champollion e dal suo allievo ed amico Rosellini, orientalista dell’Università di Pisa. Lo scopo della missione non era di raccogliere antichità come avvenuto fino ad allora, ma di eseguire copie e rilievi dei monumenti per iniziare un lavoro filologico di riordinamento della storia egiziana antica. Questa spedizione fu la prima con intenti esclusivamente scientifici e il primo esempio di collaborazione internazionale tra studiosi. Alla conclusione del viaggio, Champollion produsse la Notice sommaire sur l’histoire de l’Egypte mentre il nostro Rosellini pubblicò i suoi Monumenti dell’Egitto e della Nubia. I 9 volumi di testo e i 3 volumi delle planches si dividono in tre parti riguardanti gli edifici storici, quelli civili e quelli di culto. Le tavole, molte delle quali con magnifica coloritura coeva, raffigurano vedute, architetture, murali e piante dei maggiori monumenti e delle più importanti tombe dell’antico Egitto scoperte fino ad allora e sono tratte da originali di Giuseppe Angelelli, Salvatore Cherubini e Gaetano Rosellini. Esemplare di eccelente provenienza e di estrema rarità a trovarsi completo del testo e delle tavole. Gay 2218. (12 volumi) Starting Price: €50000
