Chaptal´, two pages, 4to, Montpelier, 23rd October, [1795], to Parisian bookseller Deterville, in French.

I have read again the first volume… It is essential that I see the proof sheets, I promise that I will return them to you one by one, which will take in total 14 days..´ further saying `Therefore, send me all which has been printed since then…and do not forget my little requests which I listed on my previous letter.´ Paper with watermark.

Scala Paradisi. (Al colophon:) Venezia: Christophorus de Pensis, de Mandello, 12 ottobre 1492. Due opere in un volume in-4° (mm 202x139). I: Segnatura: a-h8. Carte [64]. Carattere romano e gotico. Al frontespizio grande legno (mm 76x75), apparso già nell'edizione latina dello stesso anno, raffigurante un monaco (probabilmente l'autore) in cattedra in atto di parlare, indicandosi un occhio, ad un uditorio, in cui curiosamente appaiono tre figure femminili. Numerosi capilettera xilografici ornati. II: Segnatura: a-l8, m10. Carte [98]. Al frontespizio grande legno (mm 55x75) raffigurante un abate tra due gruppi di monaci nel chiostro di un monastero.

Esemplare accuratamente rinfrescato, aloni alle ultime carte. Legatura moderna ad imitazione antica in pelle, fregi a secco e in oro ai piatti e al dorso. Timbro 'bibliothek schloss schonborn' al verso dell'ultima carta.I: Prima edizione in italiano di quello che è considerato il secondo libro sull'occhio: "the second earliest printed work on the eye, Grassus's De oculis (1474) being the first" (Becker). L'opera apparve per la prima volta in latino nel 1476; controversa è la paternità del testo essendo variamente attribuito a Petrus de Lacepiera, il cui nome appare nel colophon, a Johannes de Peckham o, molto probabilmente, a Petrus Lemovicensis (Pierre de Limoges). La traduzione in italiano venne curata da Fra Teophilo Romano. Si tratta principalmente di un trattato morale ma con interessanti osservazioni scientifiche: nei primi quattro capitoli è infatti contenuta una descrizione dell'occhio. "The purpose of the De oculo morali is purely ethical but it contains a description of the eye, together with a brief account of eye diseases and their treatment" (Sarton II, 1029). L'analisi della fisiologia della visione e delle proprietà della luce sono quindi funzionali all'autore per descrivere i gradi della morale.II: Terza edizione della traduzione in italiano - curiosamente data alla luce lo stesso giorno della scoperta dell'America - di questa famosa guida spirituale, Klimax tou Paradeisou o Scala del Paradiso, composta in greco nel VII secolo da San Giovanni soprannominato Climaco, ovvero «quello della scala», dal nome appunto del suo componimento. La presente edizione segue la prima edizione del 1478 (Torrebelvicino, Giovanni Leonardo Longo) e la stampa del 1491 (Venezia, Matteo Capcasa).Vera e propria sintesi della tradizione monastica antica, illustra, attraverso trenta gradini, altrettante tappe della vita monastica. La Scala del paradiso venne tradotta in molte lingue, tra cui latino, siriaco, armeno, arabo e slavo. Sulla base della traduzione latina di Angelo Clareno da Cingoli, nel XIV secolo l'agostiniano Gentile da Foligno la traspose in italiano. I BMC V 419. IGI 7384. Essling 892. Sander 3757. Klebs 243.

I: First edition into Italian of "the second earliest printed work on the eye, Grassus's De oculis (1474) being the first" (Becker). The work appeared first in Latin in 1476, and is variously attributed to Petrus de Lacepiera, whose name is mentioned at the colophon, Johannes de Peckham or Petrus Lemovicensis (Pierre de Limoges). The version into Italian was edited by Fra Teophilo Romano. "The purpose of the De oculo morali is purely ethical but it contains a description of the eye, together with a brief account of eye diseases and their treatment" (Sarton II, 1029). II: Third edition of the translation into Italian vernacular, printed on 12 october 1492, day of discovering of America, of this famous spiritual treatise on monastic life entitled Klimax tou Paradeisou or The Ladder of Divine Ascent, composed in the 7th century by St. John Climacus. This edition follows the first edition of 1478 (Torrebelvicino, Giovanni Leonardo Longo) and the second one of 1491 (Venezia, Matteo Capcasa). The translation into Italian was made by the fifteenth-century Augustinian monk Gentile from Foligno, who relied his work on the Latin translation by Angelo Clareno from Cingoli. I: BMC V 419.

Dorso a cinque nervi, titolo impresso in oro su tassello in marocchino rosso al secondo scomparto, i rimanenti decorati da ferri dorati. Tagli spruzzati in rosso. Esemplare proveniente dalla collezione del conte di Macclesfield, come testimoniato dall'ex libris al contropiatto anteriore e dal suo timbro a secco al recto della carta AA2. Al frontespizio nota manoscritta '12 febr. 1696'. Sporadici marginalia e sottolineature.Prima edizione di questa collezione di testi dell'erudito Stefano Negri, profondo conoscitore di greco e latino, dedicata (c. A2r) dall'autore ad alcuni tra i più eminenti personaggi dell'epoca, come ad esempio Jean Grolier. Il volume contiene un insieme di traduzioni e alcune operette di carattere erudito, mitologico, filosofico e poetico tra le quali figurano i Commentarioli in aurea carmina Pythagorae, un'epistola indirizzata al medico milanese Giovanni Marliani e cinque Prefationes, tre ad Omero, una a Pindaro e una a Tito Livio. Oltre a questi testi sono presenti anche il De unguentis, il De meretricibus insignis, il De victo Pythagorico, De vino e il De nimia obsoniorum appetentia, queste ultime tre qui in prima edizione e di notevole importanza per la letteratura gastronomica. Stefano Negri, originario di Corte Maggiore nei pressi di Cremona, era noto anche col nome di Stephanos Melas, e occupò dal 1520 la cattedra di greco dello studio di Milano che era stata di Demetrio Calcondila. Durante l'occupazione francese della città si riunì intorno a questo erudito una cerchia di uomini dotti e illustri, della quale facevano parte anche Jean Grolier e il segretario di Francesco I, che compaiono spesso come dedicatari delle sue opere. Il Negri cadde in disgrazia dopo la cacciata dei francesi dalla città lombarda e venne allontanato dall'insegnamento. I suoi lavori consistono principalmente nella traduzione di testi classici o di opere ispirate all'antichità tra le quali si ricorda il Dialogo tra un venditore di libri e uno studente preposto, insieme ad altri scritti del suo maestro Demetrio Calcondila, al celebre lessico greco delle Suidas impresso nel 1499.Argelati, Bibl.

NO RESERVE García Márquez Gabriel. El general en su laberinto. Madrid: Mondadori España, 1989. Dedica autografa dell'autore.(mm 212x135). Pagine 286, [2] di cui una con carta geografica. Legatura in tutta tela rossa con camicia editoriale illustrata a colori da un dipinto di A.G.S., titoli in oro al dorso. Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, camicia editoriale appena sgualcita ai bordi. Al recto della sguardia anteriore firma di possesso in inchiostro blu e annotazioni a lapis; a p. 7, sotto la dedica a stampa, dedica manoscritta dell'autore in inchiostro nero: 'Para Humberto otra vez'; al verso della sguardia posteriore timbro in inchiostro rosso del Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales República de Cuba.Prima edizione in lingua originale, con firma dell'autore, uscita in Spagna in contemporanea con le prime edizioni centro e sudamericane. L'opera racconta, in forma romanzata, gli ultimi anni di vita di Simón Bolivar (1783-1830), l'eroico generale guida della lotta di Perù, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador e Panama verso l'indipendenza dal dominio spagnolo. Marquez si sofferma però, più che sulla gloria e sulle vittorie di Bolivar, sulle disillusioni e sulle sconfitte, evidenziando gli aspetti più intimi dell'esistenza di un uomo che visse amori e passioni con la stessa forza ideologica della sua impresa militare. Il labirinto del titolo, quello in cui il generale morirà in solitudine, è quello formato dai ricordi, immagini sbiadite di un grande sogno di unità nazionale tradito dagli interessi della politica e del potere. (212x135 mm). 286, [2] pages, of which one is illustrated with a map. Publisher's red cloth, with colour illustrated dust jacket, from a painting by A.G.S. Spine with title lettered in gilt. A good copy, minor wear to the dust jacket. Author's signature in blue ink on the recto of the front flyleaf, and a few pencilled notes. Autograph address in black ink on p. 7, below the printed dedicatory, 'Para Humberto otra vez'; red stamp of the Registro Nacional de Bienes Culturales República de Cuba on the verso of the rear flyleaf. Presentation copy of the first edition in original language, simultaneously issued in Spain, Central and South America. The work narrates the final years of life of General Simón Bolivar (1783-1830), the heroic and legendary liberator of Perù, Bolivia, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, and Panama. García Márquez revisites Bolívar's battles, victories, and former glory, wandering in a labyrinth of memories, unsatisfied desires, and regrets.

NO RESERVE Rotella Mimmo. SeriDécollage Caccia al ladro. [2000](mm 70x100). Esemplare 46/125. Opera firmata a lapis in basso a destra. Timbrata a secco dalla Fondazione Mimmo Rotella in basso a sinistra. SeriDécollage di Mimmo Rotella ispirato alla locandina del film del 1955 diretto da Alfred Hitchcock Caccia al Ladro (To Catch a Thief), interpretato da Cary Grant e Grace Kelly. La storia narra di un ex ladro gentiluomo John Robie che, accusato di una serie di furti commessi con il suo stile, cerca di catturare il vero colpevole. Come l'analoga opera di Rotella ispirata a Via col Vento (vedi lotto), anche questa appartiene ad una serie dove - grazie l'intervento diretto dell'Artista su ogni esemplare - si mantiene l'unicità dell'opera d'arte pur all'interno dei multipli. Pontiggia 2005, p. 54.(70x100 mm). Copy 46/125. Pencilled signature on bottom right. Embossing stamp of Fondazione Mimmo Rotella, on bottom left. The SeriDécollage by Mimmo Rotella uses as a support the poster of Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief, performed by Cary Grant and Grace Kelly. Even if a multiple, every seridécollage can be considered a single original artwork, because Rotella's intervention, i.e. his hand-made tears, are similar but not identical. Each copy is numbered and signed by the artist, bearing furthermore the embossing stamp of the Fondazione Mimmo Rotella. Pontiggia 2005, p. 54.

NO RESERVE Rotella Mimmo. SeriDécollage Via col vento. [2000](mm 70x100). Esemplare 46/125. Opera firmata a lapis in basso a destra. Timbrata a secco dalla Fondazione Mimmo Rotella in basso a sinistra. SeriDécollage di Mimmo Rotella basato sulla locandina del film di Victor Fleming del 1939 Via col Vento (Gone with the Wind), interpretato da Vivien Leight, Clark Gable, Olivia De Havilland e Leslie Howard. La pellicola è tratta dall'omonimo romanzo di Margaret Mitchell. Rotella celebra questo classico del grande schermo perchè gli strappi - che frammentano l'immagine principale lasciando intravedere la locandina di un altro film - non riescono tuttavia a offuscare i protagonisti di una delle più belle storie d'amore di tutti i tempi. Pur trattandosi di multipli, i seridécollage mantengono il gesto artistico di Mimmo Rotella da una parte e l'originalità del soggetto dall'altra, perché lo strappo è eseguito a mano e ogni esemplare è differente dall'altro. Ogni seridécollage è firmato dall'artista, numerato e con il timbro della Fondazione Mimmo Rotella. Pontiggia 2005, p. 42. (70x100 mm). Copy 46/125. Pencilled signature on bottom right. Embossing stamp of Fondazione Mimmo Rotella, on bottom left. The SeriDécollage by Mimmo Rotella uses as a support the poster of Victor Fleming's movie Via col Vento (Gone with the Wind, 1939), performed by Vivien Leight, Clark Gable, Olivia De Havilland, and Leslie Howard, and based on the best-selling 1936 novel Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. Rotella celebrated this movie - one of most successful of all time - with this fine seridécollage, each of which - even if a multiple - can be considered a single original artwork, because Rotella's intervention, i.e. his hand-made tears, are similar but not identical. Each copy is numbered and signed by the artist, bearing furthermore the embossing stamp of the Fondazione Mimmo Rotella. Pontiggia 2005, p. 42.
