A COLLECTIVE VENETIAN EDITION OF NINE TRAGEDIES BY GIAMBATTISTA GIRLADI CINTHIO GIRALDI CINTHIO, Giovan Battista. Orbecche Tragedia - Venice: 1583. 8vo. With engraved portrait and a cast list. A very good copy. The importance of this opening play is stressed by the Cambridge History of English and American Literature (Volume V) with the writer stressing how "The predominant influence in Italian tragedy was, unquestionably, that of Giambattista Giraldi Cinthio, whose Orbecche (acted at Ferrara in 1541) is the first known regular tragedy in the vernacular produced on a modern European stage. Its adoption of the Senecan form, and of the Senecan rhetoric and sensational horrors, decided the fate of Italian tragedy and greatly influenced that of other nations." The scene of Orbecche is set in the Persian city of Susa. Contemporary full vellum, titled in manuscript. BOUND WITH GIRALDI CINTHIO, Giovan Battista. Altile Tragedia - Venice: 1583. 8vo.
