Sobre este item

Vico Equebse, Giuseppe Cacchi, 1586. *** First edition, first issue. The finest illustrated work by the famous mathematician and occultist. Illustrated by one frontispiece with portrait of the author, one portrait of Cardinal Luigi d'Este to whom the work is dedicated and 85 engravings in the text, 4 of which are full page. These are chiefly the comparative heads of man and animal, repeated as della Porta discusses different features. He also devotes several chapters to the interpretation of dreams, the virtues of plants used to make potions, and so on. It is said that the censors were slow to licence the manuscript for printing. "Della Porta preceded Lavater in attempting to estimate human character by the features. This is one of the first works on the ancient 'science' of physiognomy to be extensively illustrated." (Garrison & Morton 150) First issue : On leaves R3-R4, two engravings of a hog and a bull with their human counterpart are transposed so that the texts read incorrectly. Probably the first book to be printed in Vico Equebse, a small town near Naples. A very discreet restoration in the outer margin of the leaves. Very fine copy.

Le plus bel ouvrage illustré du célèbre mathématicien et occultiste. Illustré par un frontispice avec le portrait de l'auteur, un portrait du cardinal Luigi d'Este à qui l'ouvrage est dédié et 85 gravures dans le texte, dont 4 à pleine page. Il s'agit principalement de têtes comparées d'hommes et d'animaux. Porta consacre aussi plusieurs chapitres à l'interprétation des songes, aux vertus des plantes employées dans la confection des philtres, etc. On dit que les censeurs ont tardé à autoriser l'impression du manuscrit. "Della Porta a précédé Lavater dans sa tentative d'évaluer le caractère humain à partir des traits de la face. C'est l'un des premiers ouvrages sur l'ancienne 'science' de la physiognomonie à être abondamment illustré". (Garrison & Morton 150). Il s'agit probablement du premier livre imprimé à Vico Equebse, une petite ville près de Naples. Exemplaire de premier tirage : aux feuillets R3-R4, les gravures d'un porc et d'un taureau avec leur contrepartie humaine sont inverties de sorte que le texte est incorrect. Brunet 4, 825 : "Bonne édition de cet ouvrage singulier". Une très discrète restauration dans la marge extérieure des feuillets. Bel exemplaire. *** In-folio de (2), 265 pp. Vélin. (Reliure de l'époque.) - -.

Sobre Hugues de Latude

I specialize in antiquarian books : early printed books, incunabula, illustrated, science, medecine, natural history... I have been a bookseller since 1988 and I mostly go for books I have never seen.
