Canzoniere et Trionfi

by Francesco Petrarca

  • Used
[Sant'Orso]: Leonardus Achates de Basilea, 1474. Second edition of this version; the seventh edition in total.
Petrarch's poetry in Italian, the Canzoniere and the Trionfi count among the most celebrated and influential works in western literature. In the present incunable edition it is combined with the brief biography by Leonardo Bruni that helped to spread the poet's fame and reputation.

Petrarch's 'Book of Songs', based on the 'libro d'autore'

Petrarch (Francesco Petrarca, 1304-1374) is considered one of the greatest love poets of world literature. Referred to by Petrarch himself as Rerum vulgarium fragmenta, and in his opening words called "rime sparse" (scattered rhymes), the collection of 366 poems - mostly sonnets - was called Il Canzoniere (Book of Songs) since the Renaissance. Immortalising the poet's love for the unattainable Laura, this cycle established the sonnet form and became the basis for the development of lyric poetry throughout Renaissance Europe.

Petrarch composed, selected and reordered the Canzoniere over a period of four decades, beginning shortly after 1327 until his very last years. Around 1366, he began a new manuscript intended as a fair copy of this work. He completed the manuscript until 1374, first with the assistance of a scribe, then in his own hand. This final copy (now in the Vatican Library, Vat. Lat. 3195) is regarded as the deliberately designed libro d'autore, representing Petrarch's original concept of his book as a whole: structure and arrangement of the text, mise en page, notation etc. This definitive personal manuscript was the basis and model of the edition printed in 1472 by Bartolomeo da Valdezocco in Padua. It is thus the first edition thoroughly reflecting Petrarch's intentions, a landmark and the most important of the 15th-century editions in terms of the philology of the text. The present edition is a reprint of this edition.

The manuscript Vat. Lat. 3195 was used again, not before 1501, by Pietro Bembo for the fundamental Aldine Petrarch edition that canonized Petrarch as one of the classics of modern Italian literature. The present edition of 1474 is thus one of the very few and very rare earlier examples that closely represent Petrarch's vernacular poetry testimonies in print.

The present edition is extremely rare, even rarer than its model edition of 1472: only 20 copies listed in ISTC and GW.

Description of the copy: 203 x 138 mm. 174 leaves (without first and final blank leaves). Collation: [*]8-1, a-c10, d8, e-l10, m8, n12, o10, p8, q10, r8, [s]4. Signatures were formerly printed at the utmost lower margin and have been trimmed away by the binder. Later foliation supplied in ink to upper right corner, beginning on a1: 1-167. – Roman type, 32 lines, capital spaces, most with guide letters, first letter of each stanza set out.
Condition: Old flyleaf with inscription in ink, partly scored out, passages on fol. 65r and 66v (marked 57-58) crossed out in ink, but still legible. Fol. 8 remargined; some foxing or spotting, some staining and finger-soiling, lightly browned at margins; some tears expertly restored, inner bifolio of every quire reinforced in the gutter.Binding: Somewhat later limp vellum, recased. Modern beige quarter morocco Solander box.

1684 Japanese Mathematics Yoshinori Abacus Math Illustrated Magic Squares Kyoto

A rare, 17th century Japanese woodblock print of "Sanpouketsugishou" written by Isomura Yoshinori, a mathematician. Isomura was called 'the master of the abacus' because he solved problems that would otherwise not be possible without using algebra, and the abacus features in many illustrations as does his interest in 'magic squares, magic circles and magic wheels.' This book contains solutions to 12 problems published in an earlier work and provides 150 more.

This rare edition is written in the typical handwritten column format bound in the "fukurotoji" style (Keio) complete with illustrations of mathematic problems, shapes, diagrams, and people and animals using an abacus throughout!

Straight, tight and clean with no wear or markings in bright, pictorial card covers, no dustjacket as issued. The pieces in this collection, written between 1956 and 1961 and including short fiction, a radio play, and a stunning early novel, offer startling insights into Cohens imagination and creative process. Cohen explores themes that would permeate his later work, from shame and unworthiness to sexual desire in all its sacred and profane dimensions to longing, whether for love, family, freedom, or transcendence.

Description:
Trumansburg, NY: Out of Step Press. Fine with no dust jacket. 2016. Numbered Edition; First Printing. Pamphlet. The author's non-linear poem about the billeting of soldiers in civilian homes in wartime. Copy 89 of a limited edition of 250. Folded into the form of a letter, the work was letterpress printed in wraps of handmade "combat paper" made from military uniforms. The author says: "Some time ago-maybe a year, maybe two? I had a conversation with some of my Combat Paper brothers (well, the kids call them their combat paper uncles, so it follows…) that led to me writing the poem "Quartering." Which was informed by them, of course, and by all the rooms I'm in, and by imagining what is really required of all the caregivers I love. It's a thought experiment: if we tore down the barracks at military hospitals and offered incentives for Americans in the surrounding neighborhoods to quarter injured service members, what would the honest instructions… Read More
