Ithaca, New York: Cornell University Press, 1963. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. Kahn, Peter. 8vo. The Circe of Signior of Giovanni Battista Gelli of the Academy of Florence, Consisting of Ten Dialogues Between Ulysses and several Men transformed Into Beasts, Satirically Representing the various Passions of Mankind and the many infelicities of human life. Full grey cloth. xlix, 179 pp. Illustrated with eleven hand-carved two-tone linoleum engravings. Light foxing to top edge of text block. Ink ownership inscription to ffep. Fine condition overall. Dust jacket is sunned to spine, age toned to covers, chipped to extremities. Originating with the episode in Homer's Odyssey and first published in 1549, Gelli's Circe is a group of seriocomic dialogues on the general theme of man's relation to the animal kingdom. Some people have seen the dialogues as a bitter satiric attack on man's claim to a position of pre-eminence among creatures; others have seen them as a serious moral preachment on man's need to exist on a plane above the bestial. Gelli, a Florentine shoemaker and humanist with a dedicated amateur's love of literature, writes with a witty, graceful, yet pointedly realistic style.
