Sobre este item
Milano: Philippe Foyot per Rocco & Ambrosio da Valle, 1521. Two parts on one volume. Large 8vo. 280 x 190 mm., [11 x 7 ¼ inches]. [18] including a blank leaf, 161, [1] ff.; [16], 146 ff. Large woodcut frontispiece introducing the second part of an image representing and a printer's device which appears three times. Bound in contemporary vellum; spine stained brown, probably by the original glue and some spotting to the boards.
First edition of this important book of epigrams and love poetry by Lancino Curti, published posthumously by his nephew Gaspare della Chiesa. Curti's work constitutes one of the most important sources of the cultural life of Milan from the end of the 15th and the first decade of the 16th century. In particular it documents the court of Lodovico il Moro, the French occupation of Milan in 1499, the exile of Lodovico, expulsion of the French by the Swiss and the instillation of Ludovico's son Massimiliano to the throne, and his removal in 1512 when the French reasserted their control of the city.
Curti's poetry is a mirror to his times and contains important historical information on the events taking place in Milan during this chaotic period in its history. In his poems Curti describes the art, music and literature that flourished and mentions the names of those who contributed to the cultural life of the City including Leonardo, Franchino Gaffurio, Antonio Fregoso, and he chronicled the activities of Il Moro, his marriage to Beatrice d'Este, and the French invasion.
His love poetry is also important for its form, as he experimented with its meter and rhyme and creates a number of acrostic and palindrome poems new to the genre. He is remembered for combining the romantic with the heroic and documenting his age in a manner both original and useful to later day scholars. Curti's Epigrammaton is also remembered for some of its verse on Sodom and the licentious language he used to describe "un plaisir très ordinaire."
The large woodcut on the title-page of part two represents 'Fame' in the form of a winged woman, with the body covered with eyes, ears and tongues, holding a torch in one hand and a whip in the other.

Sobre De Simone Company, Booksellers
De Simone Company Booksellers specializes in early Italian books and manuscripts, mostly in the fields of social science, history, antiquarian bibliography and illustrated books. The owner, Daniel De Simone, has a particular interest in books, manuscripts, and ephemera printed in, or about, the history of Ferrara, Italy. The business also deals in 19th-century Americana and fine books in all fields and languages.
De Simone Company Booksellers enjoyed its second opening as a book company in 2018 after a seventeen-year hiatus. Originally established in 1978, De Simone Company bought, sold, and evaluated rare books, manuscripts, and prints for twenty-two years before closing, when De Simone accepted the position as Curator of the Lessing J. Rosenwald Collection at the Library of Congress.
De Simone held this position for fourteen years before moving to the Folger Shakespeare Library as the Eric Weinmann Librarian. In this position, he managed seven departments, including acquisitions, exhibitions, conservation, research services, and the Library's book, manuscript, and art collections. He held this position for three years before retiring in 2017 and reopening De Simone Company Booksellers.
Because of his experience in both the book trade and rare book librarianship, De Simone consults with institutions about the development and evaluation of their library collections. He is the author and editor of a number of books and articles on the history of book illustration and early bibliography.
He is a member of the ABAA (Antiquarian Booksellers' Association of America), the ILAB (International League of Antiquarian Booksellers), the Print Council of America, the Grolier Club, the Association Internationale de Bibliophilie, the American Printing History Association, the Bibliographical Society of America.
